Targeting Sea Nettles’ Explosive Growth Opposition Rises

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BERKELEY – Can anything be done to curtail the explosive growth of stinging Sea Nettles in Barnegat Bay? That was the focus in of four Barnegat Bay Bulkhead Blitz workshops held in May in lagoon-front neighborhoods of Curtis Point in Mantoloking; Berkeley Shores and Good Luck Point in Berkeley Township; and Shore Acres in Brick.

Dr. Paul Bologna, director of Marine Biology at Montclair State University, and staffers from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection used power washers and scrub brushes to dislodge Sea Nettle polyps from f loating docks and vinyl bulkheads in those neighborhoods.

The speck-sized polyps attach to these hard surfaces over the winter before becoming adult Sea Nettles the following summer.

On May 19, Bologna, about 15 site remediation crews and field operations employees from the DEP, and a few volunteers met at Shore Acres Yacht Club in Brick and used two power boats to reach interior lagoons where Sea Nettles are concentrated.

In many areas of northern Barnegat Bay there are so many of the stinging jellyfish the water has become unswimmable, he said.

To Heritage Minerals Tract On Berkeley Border

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 the plan, which could create a town center (Border - See Page 4)

Officials Pledge Faster Service As County Buses Get Computer Upgrades

By Daniel Nee OCEAN COUNTY – The county has completed an upgrade of the routing software behind its 70 Ocean Ride bus vehicles, which will allow the county’s Department of Transportation to optimize routes, assist passengers calling to ask about bus timelines and run the entire bus network more efficiently, officials said.

“It’s going to be so much better for the people who get rides as

well as the drivers,” said Freeholder Virginia Haines.

The county began the upgrade project last spring, as it was facing a dispatching and routing system that was quickly falling apart.

Large terminals in buses were physically damaged after years of use on the road, the information being produced by the system was inefficient and the county was maintaining an in-house server (Buses - See Page 18)

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 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 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.

In Berkeley, Councilwoman Judy Noonan remained concerned that the cost of the plan’s infrastructure would become the burden of ratepayers across other towns. Noonan spoke out about the rate increase from New Jersey Natural Gas, who would serve the Heritage Minerals area but also serves Berkeley.

“We definitely have to be watching this,” Noonan said. “They are asking the BPU for a rate increase to put a pipeline right around this area, but are asking everyone to pay for it.”

The Heritage Minerals tract also buts up to the Berkeley border.

The Planning Board will meet at 7 p.m. on June 6 in town hall, Colonial Drive.

the food from fish; they are voracious predators,” Bologna said. “They eat numerous species of fish and invertebrates, especially in earlier life forms, and many of these species, like clams and oysters, are of commercial and recreational importance,” he said.

There is not a lot of flushing in the back lagoons where there is low oxygen, which is a good habitat for Sea Nettles since they don’t need a lot of oxygen, he said.

The Sea Nettle population in Barnegat Bay has a dividing line at the Barnegat Inlet where the bay is flushed out by the ocean, but now they are being seen south of the inlet in Beach Haven West, he said.

and some special events.

Though late May meant water temperatures in the 60s, the air temperatures breached 90 degrees at one point before the Memorial Day itself saw rain canceling parades and outdoor ceremonies.

Though whether may have meant they left early, the crowds still had come to enjoy Friday to Sunday sunny weather.

“This is an educational effort to show people how to do it. You don’t need special equipment,” Lurig added.

In a prepared statement, DEP Commissioner Bob Martin said that the research conducted with Bologna shows that “we can all make an impact on controlling Sea Nettles by taking a few simple, but effective steps in the spring or fall.”

Property owners who live in lagoon-front communities are encouraged to remove their floating docks during the winter and/ or scrub them below the water line in the spring to remove the Sea Nettle polyps, Lurig said. Detergents or soap is not necessary, she added.

For more information, visit nj.gov/dep/ barnegatbay.

Sea Nettles might have migrated north from the Chesapeake Bay, where they are a big problem, and they have a range that goes as far north as Massachusetts and as far south as the Gulf of Mexico, Bologna said.

NJDEP Research Scientist Lynette Lurig said her department funded a $283,000 study, led by Bologna from 2012-2014, to study Sea Nettle dynamics in Barnegat Bay. The Bulkhead Blitz began last fall in Toms River after the DEP reviewed the results of his study as part of Governor Chris Christie’s administration’s plan to address the bay’s ecological health.

Bologna’s research concluded that the high-density population of Sea Nettles in northern Barnegat Bay threatened to migrate southward into estuaries and coastal

waters there.

The DEP is providing more funding to Montclair State University to research potential natural predators of Sea Nettle Polyps, Lurig said.

“There can be hundreds of thousands of polyps on one floating dock,” she said. “We know that scrubbing the polyps off can’t hurt, but the question is, will it help enough?”

“We found that polyps need places to attach over the winter, and the good news is that all you have to do is scrub the surfaces to remove the polyps; you dislodge them and they don’t reattach,” she said from the parking lot of the yacht club.

The Blitz was also a chance to show residents what effort it takes to help out against the Sea Nettles.

Beach, the “summer kick off” meant a special free concert. Bret Michaels of Poison rocked the boards in Seaside early that morning, while the Goo Goo Dolls took to the Jenkinson’s event to usher in summer.

In Ortley Beach, the rush to replace dune walkovers meant Toms River township crews worked in the days preceding the holiday weekend to make beaches accessible.

In Brick’s barrier island beaches, a steel wall exposed from winter’s storms was covered, making their beach more accessible.

The weekend meant the first staffing for area lifeguards, too. Most beaches maintain only weekend guarded hours until school is out in mid-June, and then switch to seven days of guarded beaches through Labor Day.

Featured Letter Let Drones Fly Drones are a smart piece of machinery that f ly, they actually look like toy air planes, however, the value they have added to people’s lives has been remarkable. When I saw a recent article on a local town’s proposal to prohibit flying drones over public events, I was appalled and this article stopped me in my tracks.

The Federal Aviation Administration already has strict guidelines in place regarding the safety of “unmanned aircraft systems” and what is truly being overlooked is the local business and how drones effect their work production and overall cost effectiveness.

Local companies are using drones to take pictures of their work performance, for example landscaping company jobs. This not only benefits the local companies but the township as a whole.

A local company can safely utilize a drone at no extra cost to take pictures of their work; however it can cost companies up to a several thousand dollars to have

aerial shots by professionals, hence causing up charges on their end labor charges for the local homeowner as well.

Local plumbers are able to locate leaky pipes that are unreachable. The cost for a company to pay his workers to watch leaky pipes is costly, whereas the drone just takes pictures of the leaks, this saves everyone money in the end.

Realtors utilize drones to market local proper ties. The list of the advant ages of d rones continues.

Furthermore, federally regulated guidelines are in place for a reason. Taking away the livelihood of local business workers because of an accident that was observed in another town is absurd.

If an ordinance goes into place, the town will be taking food off the table from their local working companies as well as the homeowners.

A drone is more than just a toy; it is a smart operating system that deserves to fly!

Letters To The Editor The Music Endures

In starting my senior year in 1959 at Lakewood High School, one of the perks our generation had going for it (in my prejudice opinion), was the music we listened and danced to back then-and dance we did! We danced in the gym during lunch period, at Martha’s and Seven Stars after school, at the YWCA on Friday nights and of course, there were junior proms and senior mid-winters.

Another advantage we had was you could understand the words (at least most of the time), and the music was danceable despite its melodic repetitiveness and lyrical simplicity. Never-the-less, it helped ignite our first feelings of romance and lust.

And what a variety of music categories we had to pick from. There was rock n’roll from Bill Haley and the Comets, doo-wop from the Flamingos, rhythm and blues from Little Richard, rockabilly from Jerry Lee Lewis and pop music from the “Chances Are” guy, Johnny Mathis.

Then there were the Coasters and was there ever a better group in any musical era than the Platters. Their songs sound just as good today as they did back in 1957.

They say a good indicator of any musical period or era is its staying power, whether it is remembered and still played decades after it was a hit.

I doubt that those who listened to hard-core rap or hip-hop will proudly play the music of their lives for their grandchildren as our generation can.

The jury is no longer out

on the music of the ‘50s. The ‘50s may be gone, but its music endures!

Simplifying the Federal Tax Code South Jersey families and small business owners go through it every year – wading through confusing forms, sifting through 12 months of bank documents and receipts and crossing our fingers that we don’t make any mistakes.

According to one independent study presented to Congress, Americans collectively spend more than 6 billion hours and $160 billion to prepare and file their taxes on an annual basis.

In a place like New Jersey, the dread is compounded by the knowledge that we are forced to endure one of the highest tax burdens in the entire country.

I’m not pointing out these stats to annoy or depress you – presumably, the IRS has already taken care of that. I am doing it to promote the need for a comprehensive overhaul of our nation’s tax code. Currently at 70,000-pages and increasingly beyond the comprehension of anyone without a CPA, our federal tax code is a mess and I intend to be a driving force behind fixing it.

Taxpayers deserve a fair and simple tax code that provides economic opportunity and upward mobility for all. Our tax code should encourage savings and investment and incentivize prudent risk-taking and entrepreneurship.

This will help our economy grow at a healthier pace and create sustainable, good-pay-

In concert with tax reform, Washington, and Trenton for that matter, must realize that more spending and more debt will eventually lead to even higher taxes. We need to better identify our priorities like national defense, infrastructure, medical research, Social Security and Medicare, and direct money towards them, while rooting out waste, fraud, abuse and inefficiency that needlessly makes government more expensive and less accountable to the people paying the bills.

Americans are the hardest working people the world has ever known, and working harder should not result in giving more of your money to the federal government to waste. I hope you agree.

What Are Real Motivations For Recall Movement?

As the former Howell Township Planning Board Chairman in 2014-2015, I read your recent article on a recall petition signature drive here, and came away with the need to raise the following points about the “Take Back Howell” movement.

1. The recall movement states: “We are focusing on Mr. Nicastro because he is the Deputy Mayor. Mr. Nicastro and the Mayor are on the Planning Board… This effort is aimed at stopping the political ‘Merry go Round’.”

Let’s get some facts on the table: a) The Planning Board is governed under the N.J. Municipal Land Use Law and consists of nine members plus two alternates, all of which are appointed by the Howell Town Council for various terms up to three years, and required to swear or affirm that they will uphold the laws and the Constitutions of the U.S. and the State of N.J. Under these laws, the Mayor and Deputy Mayor are allowed to be Planning Board Members, all other members are non-elected volunteers that serve without compensation.

2. This recall movement is clearly motivated by the application on West Farms Road for Affordable Housing in Howell; thus the focus on the Planning Board and its’ membership of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor. I was Chairman of the Planning Board when this Affordable Housing application came before the Planning Board and was ultimately approved by a 9-0 unanimous vote of the sitting nine members.

Many folks find Affordable Housing and other types of applications offensive and potential negative impact on their property values; thus they oppose applications.

Unfortunately, a member of the Planning Board does not have the liberty of voting against an application without proper legal merit – more on this in a moment. This Affordable Housing application was presented to the Planning Board with all the required submissions and the public was afforded their opportunity to state their support or opposition to said application.

The application met the zoning code, did not required any variances to the zoning ordinances, nor any design waivers for submissions – hence it was an application which met all legal requirements.

If the Planning Board had denied this application for spurious legal criteria, the Township would have lost the application appeal in Court, and the Township would have lost control of the application design criteria plus enforcement, not to mention potential negative State Affordable Housing ramifications.

Finally, this recall movement is baseless in fact and is highly unusual requiring extraordinary subversive effort. If Mr. Charles O’Donnell, Mr. Paul Dorato, and Mr. Stephen Charney, are truly concerned about Howell; why aren’t they petitioning to run for Town Council instead and presenting their future vision for Howell so the public can have a clear transparent choice?

MacArthur Receives Healthcare Innovation Award

NEW JERSEY – Congressman Tom MacArthur an nou nced that he has received the “Champion of Healthcare Innovation” award from the Healthcare Leadership Council.

The Healthcare Leadership Council (HLC) is a coalition of leaders of the nation’s premier health care companies and organizations. The “Champion of Healthcare Innovation” award is presented to legislators that support the development of new cures, treatments and technologies to increase longevity,

conquer disease and make long-term hospitalizations less common.

“We’re on the verge of a remarkable era in American healthcare. Genomic and biologic research, improved data analytics and advanced mobile technologies are enabling people to live longer, healthier lives,” said HLC President Ma r y R . G realy.

“To continue this exciting transformation, we need visionary leadership and sound policymaking. We honored Representative MacArthur for providing

important advocacy and leadership for patients and consumers.”

“As we strive to conquer illness, help our citizens be the healthiest they can be and make our healthcare system more affordable and sustainable, the answer lies in dynamic and continual innovation,” said Congressman MacArthur.

PARADIGM SHIFT IN CATARACT TREATMENT While current cataract treatment calls for removing the clouded eye lens and replacing it with a manmade implant, a new regenerative seems to be on the horizon. Teams of researchers have reported using stem cells in 12 babies born with cataracts to grow new tissue. Instead of using the more common approach of harvesting stem cells from the patient, growing them in a lab, and reintroducing them into the patient (which can introduce disease and raises the risk of immune rejection), the researchers coaxed stem cells in the patients’ eyes to regrow the lenses. Using this method, all the operated-on eyes had regrown a new lens curved on both sides after three months. Research involving older patients is next.

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

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

Sound Objections Here are a few reasons why millions of Americans will do anything to avoid wearing a hearing aid: 1: Vanity – It’s a sign of getting older and most people can’t deal with the combination of wearing glasses and other more pressing medical problems. This leads to denial in many cases. In reality, today’s hearing aids are almost invisible so vanity should not really be an issue!

2: Denial – Hearing loss is an invisible handicap that can be partially compensated for many years. A typical person who finally gets fitted for a hearing aid has waited seven years. Obviously, a lot of yelling has occurred over those years along with typical statements such as “you’re mumbling,” “I don’t always pay attention,” and “just speak up and I will hear you.” Your family needs to be honest and direct with the hearing-impaired individual so he/she can overcome denial/objections.

3: Money – Unfortunately, most insurance plans do not cover hearing aids. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, the average cost for a pair of hearing aids is $2,800. Some insurance companies such as Aetna US Healthcare and Horizon have a small benefit ranging from $500 to $750.

Since the average hearing aid lasts five years, you are spending about $1 per day (per ear) to hear better.

4: Unrealistic Expectations – We all want to

hear “normally” again, but realistically, hearing aids can only compensate for hearing loss just as eye glasses compensate for vision deficits.

The word “aid” does not mean “normal” but it should suggest assistance in your ability to hear in most environments.

5: Too Many Appointments – Better hearing takes time and patience since your brain has to adjust to all of the new sounds that you will be hearing again. Since a large majority of consumers are being fit with digital or programmable instruments, several fine-tuning sessions with a computer are required to maximize the benefits of the instrument. Most hearing healthcare professionals offer at least a 30-day trial period to account for the necessary adjustments required to accomplish “better hearing.”

6: You can make yourself crazy – For most, you may not like your hearing aids for the first week. You may complain about “everything being too sharp” or “my own voice sounds like a bad record.” However, after wearing your hearing aids consistently for several weeks, you will hopefully appreciate the “sweet nothings” that are important to you, like your son’s jokes, your spouse kibitzing, your grandchildren’s gestures or beautiful music.

In summary, forget about vanity and cost and stick it in your ear. Please don’t wait seven years to face the music since this may be the first time (in a long time) that you will finally hear and understand those that you love!

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

Here’s To Your Health Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Which Should You Take, Advil Or Tylenol? ophen is a drug mugger of glutathione. If you run out of folate, you could develop high homocysteine (increases risk of heart disease), cervical dysplasia, depression, chronic diarrhea, grey hair and mouth sores. If you run low on glutathione, fatigue, general pain and liver problems occur. There are dozens of other symptoms that I don’t have space to list, and also, these depletions take time. You don’t run out of the nutrients with normal dosages, taken properly for a short-term. Don’t live in pain because you are worried about this, just keep it in mind if you take them every day. Supplement with what the drug mugger stole.

PMS or cramps – Definitely ibuprofen for this, it is a stronger anti-inflammatory.

Just FYI, a combination of B complex and magnesium may help mood swings, water retention, tearfulness and cramps.

Do you take blood thinners (warfarin) or anticoagulant medications? You’re better off with acetaminophen in this case since ibuprofen can further thin the blood. Heart disease or hypertension? You’re better off with acetaminophen.

A recent study suggests taking Tylenol affects your ability to empathize with someone else during their own physical or emotional pain. Does Ibuprofen blunt your emotional reactions too? While no study ever tested ibuprofen, I personally think it does. Whenever you reduce your own ability to feel pain, it’s certainly harder to feel pain for another.

Finally, you may be concerned about addiction, so let me reassure you, both medications are completely safe in this regard.

(This information is not intended to treat, cure or diagnose your condition. Suzy Cohen is the author of

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

When you’re in pain what do you reach for, Tylenol or Advil? What about fever or body aches from the flu? How if your precious baby is teething or gets an earache, which do you give?

These are questions that you might be asking yourself today, and I’m going to help you. There are some primary differences between these two medications, both blockbusters sold worldwide under various brand names. The ingredients themselves are included in thousands of multi-tasking formulas.

If you read labels, you’ll see the generic names as follows: Tylenol as Acetaminophen and Advil and Motrin as Ibuprofen.

Fever – You can use either one, unless you’re giving it to a baby less than 6 months old. Babies less than 6 months old should be given acetaminophen (Tylenol).

Pain – I’d choose ibuprofen because it directly reduces some pain-causing cytokines, whereas acetaminophen impacts the way you feel pain, essentially ‘numbing’ you to the sensation. No one is 100 percent sure how it works, we just have clues. We know it works though. If you have severe pain, it’s sometimes recommended to alternate between ibuprofen and acetaminophen every few hours. Back pain and osteoarthritis responds better to ibuprofen according to the British Medical Journal.

If you are normally a wine drinker at dinner, or you drink alcohol stay, away from Tylenol because it could exacerbate the liver damage caused by the alcohol. Ibuprofen is a drug mugger of folate, whereas acetamin-

FREE SCREENING for Detection of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA)

As many as 2.7 million Americans are estimated to have an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, but only about half of them have been diagnosed. Approximately 15,000 people die from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms in the United States each year. Many patients are not aware of the presence of an AAA. It is more prevalent in patients with history of smoking and family histories of abdominal aortic aneurysms and hypertension. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms usually do not produce any symptoms until the aneurysm is ready to rupture. It is therefore important that persons over the age of 65, with family history of AAA and/or history of smoking, should be screened to detect the presence of an aneurysm.

If the aneurysm is found and happens to be less than 5 centimeters, the patient should be followed periodically as an outpatient with ultrasound to check for any significant increase in the size of the aneurysm. If the aneurysm turns out to be greater than 5 centimeters, the patient should consider repair of the aneurysm and discuss treatment options with a Vascular surgeon.

Please call the office at 732-244-4448 to schedule your free screening.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Let’s Steal Away Right Now Dear Readers With so many traveling in the upcoming season I thought that I may prevent you from falling prey to popular tourist scams.

Be aware when someone tries to distract you for no apparent reason. Distractions are an easy way to be pick-pocketed. This applies for right here in your home town.

You don’t have to travel to fall victim to that one. You could be distracted by someone accidentally spilling something on you; I’ve heard of ketchup squirted on a woman’s shoulder so she puts her bag down.

If you ask a taxi driver to take you to a specific restaurant and he tells you that it’s closed, beware. He is looking for a long ride and will ultimately take you to a restaurant that is he has a “partnership” going.

Here is a common one. You go to a bar and a friendly group of locals ask you

to join them.

They suddenly depart after a few rounds and you are left with a padded bill.

Finally, a merchant counts your change.

At that point it is correct. He drops it and replaces it with a smaller bill.

In as much as I don’t like writing a negative column, my feelings are the following. If I can save one traveler from getting scammed it is worth writing about.

Remember that most locals are honest but all it takes is one moment to spoil a good thing.

Safe travels.

The Interaction Between Workers’ Compensation And A State Disability Pension

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Stacie A. Brustman, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates As you may be aware, if you are injured while working as a result of an occupational exposure or a specific traumatic event, you are statutorily permitted to file for workers’ compensation benefits. In addition, if you are in a position that you are involved in the State pension system, you may be entitled to an accidental or ordinary disability pension.

Generally, if you are involved in a traumatic event at work that ultimately deems you unable to perform your duties any longer you may be entitled to an accidental disability pension. There is no minimal time of employment to be eligible for this pension. The jurisdiction as to whether you are disabled from your job duties as a result of the traumatic event rests with the Division of Pensions. However, the accidental disability pension may entitle you to in excess of 70 percent of your wages and family health benefits.

However, if you are approved for an accidental disability pension, there is a direct dollar for dollar offset for any workers’ compensation benefits you receive. This is to say, you may still file for workers’ compensation benefits, and may be entitled to benefits pursuant to same, but your pension benefits will be reduced by any recovery made. This, in fact, does not decrease your financial benefits, but merely may change from whom the money is received.

However, the law is different when a person involved in the state pension system is approved for an ordinary disability pension, and that person also has an injury with permanent residuals in the course of

his or her employment. In most cases, in order to be considered for an ordinary disability pension, you will have had to be in the State pension system for 10 years. This also may only provide a pension benefit of approximately 43 percent of your salary.

As in the accidental disability pension, the decision as to whether you are disabled from your job duties rests with the Division of Pensions.

In New Jersey, there is a long-standing public policy against double recoveries for the same injuries. In New Jersey, an injured employee may receive an ordinary disability pension and workers’ compensation benefits. However, the workers’ compensation benefits may be subject to a dollar for dollar offset for pension benefits.

However, an ordinary disability pension is generally not the result of one traumatic event that deems the worker unable to perform his or her duties, but generally is the result of numerous and varied disabilities that may or may not be work related, or related to the workers’ compensation injury. As such, there only exists an offset for those injuries incorporated in the approval of the disability pension and are specifically involved in the claim for workers’ compensation. In converse, the disabilities unrelated to workers’ compensation then are not included in the calculation of the offset.

As you can see, your choice as to whether to pursue workers’ compensation benefits when eligible for either disability pension is a difficult and law sensitive decision that should be reviewed with an attorney in depth.

network that suffered from too many periods of downtime.

The new system includes up-to-date routing software and runs remotely on a cloudbased webserver, meaning the county does not need to maintain physical computers to run the system in-house. Instead, the entire system is maintained over the Internet.

For users of the Ocean Ride system, the most noticeable aspect of the change is the replacement of the old terminals with newer, slimmer tablets near the driver’s seat.

The software, said Edward Bavais, director of Information Technology for the county, is tied to a GPS system that allows dispatchers to have a live view of each bus

so they can better coordinate pickups and inform riders exactly how far a bus is from their pickup location. For safety, the tablets automatically lock when a bus is moving.

“The people who are ordering these buses need to go a doctor or somewhere important, and if they don’t know where the bus is, they can call and we can tell them exactly where it is from a live feed,” said Bavais.

“Our clients are happier because they know the bus is coming – that alone makes them happier.”

For the county, better routing means a more efficient transit network, which translates into the ability to pick up more riders with fewer vehicles on the road at the same time.

County officials began looking deeper into efficiencies when casino tax revenue – once one of the primary funding sources

for Ocean Ride – began to fall, said David L. Fitzgerald, director of the Transportation Services Department.

“The casino revenue grant has been decimated since 2008,” said Fitzgerald, explaining that revenue fell from a high of $2.8 million that year to $1.4 million last year.

The Ocean Ride network includes 10 fixed, public bus routes and 42 buses dedicated to the Reserve-A-Ride service, which provides door-to-door transportation to senior citizens and persons with disabilities.

Officials said they are already finding ways to become more efficient since the software has been implemented.

“It’s a much more efficient way of doing things, and hopefully we’ll be able to transport many more people in the end, doing it this way,” said Haines.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of June 4-June 10

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): People fuel your passions. In the upcoming week you may prefer to work with someone close by your side.

Your aggressiveness in social situations could ruffle a few feathers or a flirtatious attitude could be out of place.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Build up mental muscle. In the week to come you may stumble upon priceless information or become intrigued by a new interest. The first half of the week is the best time to make key decisions and presentations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Opposites attract. You may be restless when working at any job unless you have a congenial other by your side. As this week unfolds you might find that a promising relationship is enhanced by some playful flirtations.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are aware that quick fixes aren’t always an option.

Perform repairs around the house, or with family members, to the best of your ability. As this week unfolds you can rely on a partner to point out flaws and fallacies.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Why you are mixed up isn’t much of a mystery. People may hide their feelings or pretend to be happy when they aren’t.

Hold off on starting any major enterprises or making a crucial commitment in the week to come.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the week to come perform a reality check before making major purchases or considering a career, business, or job related change. Concentrate on finding common ground with others, so that you can share in the benefits.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your restless need for contact with other human beings can put you in a predicament. You can be overly sociable in the workplace and too aggressive in a social setting. Think before you act in the week to come.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In one pocket, out the other. Money might go out as fast as it comes in. In the week to come you should make an effort apply thrift to your spending habits. Overcome a lack of purpose by sticking to past routines.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the week ahead those with smaller minds may try to convince you that your dreams are too big. Work hard, live up to your responsibilities and you will prove that the naysayers don’t have a handle on the big picture.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Cruise the headlines with curiosity to cure boredom.

If you hone in on subjects that interest you and give them devoted attention, you will break free from tedium in the week ahead. A busy schedule requires a planner.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put a pause on parting with your pennies. As this week unfolds you may be tempted to make a large purchase or to enter into a binding commitment that affects your net worth. Hold off on making major monetary decisions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The tenor of your life could be determined by the tone of your questions. A questioning attitude might be your secret weapon in the week ahead. Ask for advice to protect you from fantasies with no basis in reality.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Summertime Salad: This Recipe Will Help You Stay Swimsuit-Ready

By Wolfgang Puck

CHOPPED VEGETABLE SALAD Serves 4

1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon safflower oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 cup (250 mL) diced carrot 3/4 cup (185 mL) fresh corn kernels, cut from about 1 medium ear of corn 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced green beans 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced red onion 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced radicchio 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced celery 1 small vine-ripened tomato, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/4inch (6-mm) dice 2 cups (500 mL) mixed baby greens of your choice

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mustard, balsamic vinegar and sherry vinegar. Whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and safflower oil to form a smooth emulsion. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a mixing bowl with ice cubes and water. Put the carrots, corn and green beans in a wire sieve, lower into the boiling water, and cook just until tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Plunge the sieve into the ice water to stop the cooking.

Drain well.

In a large bowl, combine the blanched vegetables with the diced onion, radicchio, celery and tomato. Cover and refrigerate. To serve, arrange beds of salad leaves on top of four chilled salad plates and drizzle with dressing.
