officers completed approximately 50 hours of training and will begin field training by current auxiliary police officers. New Jersey requires 36 hours of training for Auxiliary Officers. “As an Auxiliary Officer in Manchester Township, you’ll have the opportunity to be surrounded by some of the best Police Officers in the State,” said Chief Parker, who also commended the recruits (Police - See Page 5)

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Come fall, there will be one less chore to do. With a $113,000 equipment purchase, the township will switch to a leaf vacuum instead of bags of leaves. The plan has been in the works for some time, but the Manchester Township Council in May approved the purchase of two leaf vacuums. The equipment, two 2016 Xtreme Vac SCL65TM30 Leaf Vacuums, will be purchased through the NJPA cooperative purchasing program. According to the authorization resolution, the cost for both must not exceed $113,762.00. “The leaf vacuums are something I have been lobbying for some time and was able to get them included in the last Capital budget,” Council Vice President Samuel Fusaro said. The council vice –Photo courtesy of Xtreme Vac president said he The model of Leaf Vacuum the townthought the ad- ship has purchased. vantages were to eliminate a chore for residents, but also one for the township residents, who have to slice open the bags anyway once collected. “There are two significant pros for using leaf vacuums: first, our residents will only have to rake or blow their leaves to the curb. In my experience, bagging the leaves (Leaf Vacuum - See Page 4)

Manchester Re-Establishes Green Team

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The township is renewing its efforts to stay green Manchester is once again set to renew its participation in Sustainable Jersey, a voluntary certification program that municipalities can join to accomplish ways to improve the environment. The township certified in 2009, and again in 2013. It was up for recertification this year. “The Township’s decision to re-establish the Green Team was prompted by our commitment to be both financially and environmentally responsible. The town has received bronze certification through the Sustainable Jersey program since 2009 and plans on continuing its participation in the program,” Mayor Kenneth Palmer said.

The team seeks out environmentally friendly options for township operations, he said. “The Green Team is composed of a variety of township employees from our different departments in addition to our Sustainable Jersey coordinator,” said the mayor. “The team will continue to explore ways that the town can be more environmentally friendly while not increasing costs or negatively affecting our service to our residents.” The team’s goals, outlined in resolution 16-203, are to complete an energy assessment of the municipal water and sewer facilities, assess the town’s carbon footprint, and explore a water conservation education program, and obtain a Sustainable Jersey Innovation Grant for a project.

takes considerably more time and energy than just gathering them. Second, our public works personnel send a good deal of time tossing all the bags into the back of our trucks and then opening them all. The leaf vacuums will save considerable manpower and time spent in gathering and disposing the leaves.” Fusaro said. “This will allow DPW to have additional man-hours for other needed projects around the town.” This model boasts a 74hp 3-cylinder John Deere engine and a suction hose that allows for curbside pickup.

The township wants to implement money saving upgrades to its water and sewer facilities, and review what other municipalities have done to see what “environmentally and financially feasible” actions can be done in Manchester.

uums in his interview with The Manchester Times at the new year. While the capital projects plan did include the leaf blowers, they were not purchased in time to use in 2015. “We are excited to transition from bagging to utilizing leaf vacuums. While I was campaigning, I heard a lot of requests for this service. Not only will the leaf vacuums make it easier for our residents, it will make it easier for our DPW workers to collect the leaves,” Palmer said. The Township hopes to see a cost savings using the vacuums. “Our cost savings is yet to be determined. We anticipate that it’s going to be a savings, we hope that’s it’s going to be less man-

hours required, but of course we’re going to have to wait to see if that actually pans out,” Yodakis said. “The biggest part of this was to be a service to our residents so they don’t have to go through and bag their leaves anymore.” The long-term maintenance costs are an unknown at this point. Yodakis said impeller damage is one of the big maintenance issues. “People do not mix sticks, stones, any other debris, because that will foul up the machines, much more than when you just bag the leaves,” Yodakis said. “This is not brush pick-up, it’s leaf pick-up. Brush really needs to be separate.”

on green-related issues. “The Green Team is crucial to successfully completing the necessary actions to maintain re certification. Our green team consists of dedicated and knowledgeable employees from various departments who have the desire to improve the environment,” Municipal Clerk Sabina Skibo said. “In the upcoming year, the green team goals are: secure enough action points (350) to qualify for Silver certification status, provide our community through education and outreach

affordable ideas and tools for a cleaner and safer environment, develop a municipal carbon footprint to aid the reduction of GHG emissions at the municipal level, and continue to implement through innovation, affordable solutions to pave our way to a cleaner and healthier environment.” The Greem Team, an advisory body to research ways to continue reducing the township’s “carbon footprint,” is made up of Joseph Veni, Gary Sylvester, Brenda Sloan, James Grant, Ray Sloan, Tracey Lynch,

Nicole Ashkar, Patrick Sheehan, Josh Schnoor, Art Albine, Maureen Kumitis and Marissa Wilkins. This team’s tenure starts June 1 and ends December 31. Sustainable Jersey (sustainablejersey.com) is a nonprofit program run by Sustainability Institute at the College of New Jersey in Ewing. Municipalities establish “green teams” and then complete tasks to earn points toward a bronze or silver certification. Manchester received its bronze certification in 2009, and was the first in Ocean County to do so.

The Manchester Citizen, a publication put together by the township, lists the 2016 pickup dates by date and section of town. The publication will be updated for leaf pick-up requirements closer to autumn, Department of Public Works Director Al Yodakis told The Manchester Times.

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 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

for volunteering their time to better their community. “This is a great accomplishment for all of you. Today is a proud day.” Manchester Township Police Officers who served as instructors for the Auxiliary Police Academy included Sgt. Richard Mazza, Ptl. Jason Wiener and Ptl. Patrick Cervenak. The graduation of this class marks the third time the Manchester Township Police

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 import-

ant, 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.

Department has conducted an in-house basic Auxiliary Police Academy. This volunteer arm of the police department assists with non-enforcement type activities such as crowd control at events, courtroom security and general uniformed patrols throughout the Township. Additionally, the unit is activated to assist the Manchester Police during severe weather and declared State of Emergencies. The auxiliary officers were trained in different subject areas ranging from patrol

functions, traffic control, police vehicle operations, crowd control, criminal law, preservation of evidence, court operations, first aid, CPR, police radio communications, use of force, domestic violence, report writing, and police ethics, just to name a few. The process for these six auxiliary officers began in December 2015 when applications were made available to the public. The selection process and standards to become an auxiliary officer are similar to that of a regular police officer. The candidates passed

a rigorous background check as well. All auxiliary officers are held to the highest standards consistent with that of the Manchester Township Police Department, the chief said. The incoming Auxiliary Officers are Cirilo Hernandez, Joseph A. Dellavella, Michael R. Kelliher, Richard H. Sargeant, Susana D. Mahecha-Benitez and Christian A. Hernandez.

International Film Festival To Premiere Documentaries, Originals

By Catherine Galioto LONG BEACH ISLAND – The Lighthouse International Film Festival will open June 9 and host a wide variety of film genres in special screenings through June 12.

That’s 25 feature films including the opening night film, narrative centerpiece film, documentary centerpiece film and closing night film. There is also narrative competition films, documentary competition films, spotlight films, shorts and student films to encourage young creative filmmakers. To view trailers or to purchases tickets, visit lighthousefilmfestival.org. Among the highlights: “Cameraperson,” the opening night film, at 7 p.m. June 9 at the Foundation for the Arts and Sciences. A breakout documentary from the Sundance Film Festival, the film asks the question: what does it mean to film another person? How does it affect that person and what does it do to the one who films? Kirsten Johnson, from the film, is one of the most notable cinematographers working in documentary cinema today, and is expected to be on hand for the screening. The New Jersey premiere of “Women Who Kill,” a 2016 film directed by Ingrid Jungermann, is the LIFF’s Narrative Centerpiece Film. Showing is 6 p.m. June 10 at the Foundation of the Arts and Sciences. Film is the winner of Best Screenplay at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival. The film tells the story of Morgan and ex-girlfriend Jean, locally famous podcasters, who suspect Morgan’s new love interest may be

a murderer, in this funny and tense murder-mystery. Expected to attend is Director/ Star Ingrid Jungermann and Star Ann Carr from the film. “Chronicle of a Summer in Europe” is the Documentary Centerpiece Film for the festival, and will make its world premiere at 5:45 p.m. June 11 at the Foundation of the Arts and Sciences. A first-person portrait of the greatest migrant crisis the film shows the difficulties that refugees, government and humanitarian volunteers alike all face in wake of unprecedented events. Director Kristian Kiehling spent the summer of 2015 traveling the refugee route from Malta and the Mediterranean Sea to England, and he brings to the screen a story of humans hoping for a better life, as well as the innumerable frustrations they encounter and dangers they face. Expected to attend is Director Kristian Kiehling, Editor Eric Pforr and Composer Maurizio Curcio. “The Last Laugh” is the Closing Night Film for the festival, 4 p.m. June 12 at the Foundation of the Arts and Sciences. The premise is: “Can humor and the Holocaust ever co-exist?” Ferne Pearlstein asks this question of both Holocaust survivors and some of the biggest names in comedy, such as Mel Brooks, Sarah Silverman, Gilbert Gottfried and Rob Reiner among others. Expected to attend is Director Ferne Pearlstein and Producer Robert Edwards. The festival also includes a host of other films, many by local film makers or shot at LBI locations. For more information, a complete list of screenings, or to buy tickets, visit lighthousefilmfestival.org.

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! Nicole Frazier Toms River

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! Borden Applegate Jackson

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-

ing jobs today and into the future. 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. Rep.

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?

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

From The Desk Of Congressman Chris Smith:

House Approves Measure To Fight Zika Spread

Congressman Chris Smith NEW JERSEY – The House of Representatives approved an emergency spending package to provide $622.1 million to prevent the spread of the Zika virus both in the U.S. and abroad. “Currently no therapeutics exist to treat Zika virus nor is there a vaccine, but that

gap need not be forever,” said Rep. Chris Smith, chairman of the House congressional panel that oversees global health issues. “Lessons learned from years of malaria mosquito control have applicability to Zika and can prove helpful if resources and expertise are made available.” The New Jersey Republican who has held hearings on the Zika virus and other vector borne diseases (viruses and bacteria transmitted by such carriers as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas) supported the funding package and noted that it will enhance vaccine research and

increase support for domestic mosquito control, prenatal care, delivery and postpartum care, newborn health assessments and care for infants with special needs. He said the package also provides funding for international mosquito control and other efforts to prevent, prepare for and respond to the Zika virus. “In addition to boosting vaccine research for worldwide outbreaks, we must step up our domestic efforts to control mosquitoes before warmer weather leads to an explosion of the mosquito

population in the homeland,” Smith said. “By funding mosquito control efforts we take an important step to protect people from the threat of Zika including unborn and newborn babies for whom the impact is most severe,” he said. In the last few years, the United States has had to deal with new diseases such as Ebola and West Nile Virus and the resurgence in this country of diseases like chikungunya and dengue fever. Smith is the author of a separate bill, the End Neglected Tropical Diseases Act (HR 1797), which

will enhance current research, not just on one disease, but tropical diseases generally. With the Zika virus now joining the ranks of previously little-known diseases that have created global alarm, the time has come for a more consistent policy before the next explosive health crisis appears. HR 1797, which has been reported from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, will create Centers of Excellence to study every aspect of these dreaded diseases before the outbreak becomes the next epidemic. Among the hearings Smith

has chaired is the February 10 session entitled “The Global Zika Epidemic,” featuring top American health officials on the topic of Zika, including Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Dr. Ariel Pablos-Mendez, M.D., assistant administrator of the Bureau for Global Health at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

Assemblyman Comments On Planned Parenthood Funding Bill

NEW JERSEY – Assemblyman Declan O’Scanlon, the Republican budget officer, responded to Sen. Loretta Weinberg and Assemblyman Vincent Mazzeo’s announcement to propose legislation to “restore” funds to Planned Parenthood in the state budget. “This is pure political theater,” said O’Scanlon (R-Monmouth). “It’s not a restoration because even the Democrats didn’t include a single penny to Planned Parenthood in their budget last year for the governor to line item veto.” Last year, the legislature’s

Democratic majority presented an alternative spending plan to Gov. Chris Christie’s budget, which didn’t include funding for Planned Parenthood. The Senate and General Assembly passed the appropriations act (S2016) on June 25. While 42,255 fewer women have received treatment at a Planned Parenthood clinic, 48,427 more have received care at federally qualified health centers throughout the state, according to the state Department of Health at last year’s budget hearings. “It is stunning how some

Democrats can convince themselves to believe there is zero funding for women’s healthcare in New Jersey’s budget,” said O’Scanlon. “Nothing could be further from the truth.” Gov. Christie’s proposed 2017 state budget contains at least seven line items for women’s healthcare, including $135 million for family health services, which includes care for mothers and their children before and immediately after birth. Another $28 million is proposed to go to federally qualified health centers and $10 million for laboratory

testing, including STDs. “Fewer patients at one type of provider does not mean there are fewer women receiving care. Women are now getting as-good or better care through traditional providers such as OB-GYNs and their primary physicians.” During a recent Assembly budget meeting in April, O’Scanlon challenged members on the budget committee to provide one example of a woman who was denied healthcare services, a challenge he has made the past six years. Assemblywoman Eliana Pintor Marin (D-Essex)

could not provide an example. “When I asked her directly if she came across even one constituent who could not access the healthcare they needed, she answered, ‘No,’” continued O’Scanlon. “Democrats indicated they may have a list of women without access and would provide it, but it has been 24 days since the hearings and they still haven’t provided one example of what they claim is an epidemic ruining women’s health. If there are women not able to access care, and the Democrats are aware of such instances, shame on them for

not bringing it to the attention of those of us - including the Health Department - whose goal is to provide care to every woman who needs it.” O’Scanlon concluded, “Maybe Majority Leader Weinberg should listen to the words of Senate President Sweeney who has said repeatedly in some variation the past few weeks that he has to have a bill the governor would sign or ‘it is just political theater.’ Governor Christie has made it abundantly clear over the past six years this bill and spending is unnecessary, and will be vetoed.”

$45M To Assist Those Facing Foreclosure NEW JERSEY – U.S. Senators Robert Menendez and Cory Booker recently announced the awarding of an additional $45,354,517 in Phase 2 funding from the U.S. Treasury’s Hardest Hit Fund (HHF) to assist financially-stressed New Jersey homeowners with mortgage modifications and refinancing to avert foreclosure and stay in their homes. New Jersey, which had the nation’s highest foreclosure rate in 2015, was awarded $69,231,301 in Phase 1 funding in February, for a total of $114,585,818 during this fifth and final round of allocations. To date, the Garden State has received $415,133,962 in HHF funds to assist distressed homeowners. “This federal funding is the

shot-in-arm many struggling New Jersey homeowners need to stay in their homes,” said Sen. Menendez, the ranking member of the Housing Subcommittee. “Unfortunately, New Jersey was disproportionately hit by the housing crisis and is still reeling from the Great Recession. We must do everything we can to provide homeowners facing foreclosure with the tools they need to stay in their homes. The recent announcement is a critical step forward to help families and to strengthen our communities.” “As New Jersey continues to grapple with one of the highest foreclosure rates in the nation, these federal funds will help stabilize our communities and most importantly keep

families together,” said Sen. Booker. “Far too many New Jersey homeowners are still being forced to make difficult decisions as they struggle to stay in their homes, making it more important than ever for us to remain committed to fighting for families facing foreclosure.” The funding will allow state Housing Finance Agencies (HFAs) to continue assisting struggling homeowners and support locally-tailored programs designed to prevent foreclosure and stabilize state housing markets. These programs can include mortgage payment assistance for unemployed homeowners, principal reductions to help homeowners get into more affordable mortgages and funding to

pay-off second mortgages. The HHF was created in 2010 to provide $7.6 billion in targeted aid to 18 states, including New Jersey, and the District of Columbia deemed hardest hit by the economic and housing market downturn. The program was designed to leverage the expertise of state and local partners by funding locally-tailored foreclosure prevention and neighborhood stabilization solutions. As of the end of the third quarter of 2015, HHF has disbursed approximately $4.5 billion of the $7.6 billion obligated to the program on behalf of

homeowners and stabilization efforts, and has assisted nearly a quarter of a million homeowners. Only 13 of the 18 eligible states are receiving Phase 2 funding and none was awarded their maximum eligible allocation. New Jersey was eligible to apply for an additional $150 million – 50 percent of its then existing HHF allocation of over $300 million – during the $1 billion second phase application process, which concluded March 11. This phase allows the Treasury to focus additional resources on HFAs that have significant ongoing

foreclosure prevention and neighborhood stabilization needs, a proven track record in utilizing funds and successful program models to address those needs. States receiving these additional funds will have until December 31, 2020 to utilize their HHF funds. The funding awarded to New Jersey in February was from the $1 billion first phase of the fifth round of HHF funding that would be allocated from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) using a formula based on state population and the HFA’s utilization of their existing HHF allocation to date.

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.

Keep The Beat To Save A Life

NEW JERSEY – Each year, over 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the U.S., but only about 46 percent of people who experience cardiac arrest outside a hospital receive the immediate help they need before professional help arrives. In honor of National CPR and AED Awareness Week, June 1 to 7, the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association stress the importance of learning Hands-Only CPR. “Cardiac arrest is an electrical malfunction in the heart that causes an irregular heartbeat and disrupts the flow of blood to the brain, lungs and other organs,” said Dr. Mario E. Pozo, a spokesperson for the American Heart Association and the Director of the Pre-Hospital Medicine Program/EMS Coordinator for Jersey City Medical Center, Barnabas Health. According to the American Heart Association, 90 percent of people who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrests die. CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival. These alarming statistics can hit close to home because home is exactly where 70 percent of cardiac arrests occur. Therefore, if called to give CPR in an emergency, it will most likely

be to save the life of a family member or friend. Hands-Only CPR has been shown to be as effective as conventional CPR for cardiac arrest at home, at work or in public. Hands-Only CPR has just two simple steps: If a teen or adult suddenly collapses, (1) call 9-1-1; and (2) push hard and fast in the center of the chest. During CPR, push on the chest at a rate of at least 100 compressions per minute. To easily keep this rate, push the chest to the beat of the disco song “Stayin’ Alive.” “By empowering bystanders to perform Hands-Only CPR, the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association works to strengthen the chain of survival – a five-step process that can mean the difference between life and death for someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest,” said Dr. Pozo, a member of the Northern New Jersey Board of Directors for the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association. “The critical bystander links for the chain of survival include calling 9-1-1, early CPR and early defibrillation.” To watch the Hands-Only CPR instructional video and share it with your friends and family, visit heart.org/HandsOnlyCPR. Also, find a CPR class nearby at heart.org/FindACourse.

Which Should You Take, Advil Or Tylenol? 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 acetaminophen 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.

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.

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. Joel Write to preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

The Youth Police Academy will be held at Police headquarters from August 1 to 5.

The objectives of the Youth Police Academy are educating cadets about various police procedures and the history of the Manchester Township Police, providing tours of the police headquarters, a field trip to the New Jersey State Police Museum and Learning Center and instilling a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to succeed in the profession of law enforcement. Cadets should be prepared for an experience spanning a wide variety of law enforcement techniques and training. There is a strong emphasis on self-respect, respect of others, teamwork and commitment to one’s goals. This will be accomplished through structured events that will be offered in a fun, informative, interactive, educational and hands-on manner. The curriculum will consist of educational activities, as well as physical training activities. Visit manchesterpolicenj.com/youth-academy/ for more information on how to apply.

Business Profile Michele’s Gold Buyers

In today’s difficult, often turbulent economic times, few things have retained their value as well as gold. And there’s no better place to trade your gold for cash than Michele’s Gold Buyers in Brick. “Selling at Michele’s is an easy and simple process. My clients are always saying that it’s a very pleasurable experience” says Michele DeGeorge, owner of Michele’s Gold Buyers. But don’t let the name fool you. Gold is just one of the many items that c an be tur ned into immediate cash at Michele’s. “The purchase of diamonds has become a major part of our business” states Michele. “We have become one of the largest diamond buyers in the state, c onst antly seeking

fine quality diamonds from ½ carat to 7, 8 or 9 carats to buy”. Michele’s also buys silver jewelry, platinum, precious stones and coins. Sterling Silver flatware and serving pieces are also very salable items. Sol id gold watches and brand name watches like Rolex, Breitling, O mega, etc. are a large part of Michele’s purchases. The formula for success at Michele’s is simple, straight forward and highly effective. Honesty, professionalism, a vast knowledge of the industry and top dollar pai d fo r yo ur m e rchandise. “I tell people to shop and get your best price and then come to me and I will beat any price.” She says. Their high volume of business makes

it possible to pay the highest prices in the area and their a p p r o ac h i s direct and st r ai ght fo rward. “No gimmicks, no coupons, just the best prices paid period.” Michele says with confidence. Stability is another reason for choosing Michele’s Gold Buyers. W h i l e m a ny others operate out of a hotel or seasonal rental they have ow n e d t h e i r Brick Blvd. building for over 20 years. Additionally they have a long family history in the jewelry and diamond business. Security is also part of what sets Michele’s apar t. Unlike many similar businesses, their office offers a safe and secure environment for their customers. It features an extensive on-site security system that protects you from the moment you walk in until you are safely back in your car with the cash you received. They are lic ensed, bonded and fully insured. All scales that weigh your merchandise are certified and registered with the New Jersey Department of Weights and Measures and are inspected periodically for continued accuracy. One unique service

offered at Michele’s is the separation of jewelry into individual components. A service not provided by many gold merchants. They will safely and professionally remove a diamond or precious stone from your ring or piece of jewelry and return it to you should you wish to sell only the gold rather than the entire item. Or sell it in its entirety and M i c h e l e’s will pay you for both the full weight of your gold and the full value of you diamonds or precious stones. An area of particular expertise at Michele’s is estate sales. Their staff is fully trained in

handling all aspects and legalities related to estate sales and they are ready to work with both you and you attorney to ensure a fair and equitable liquidation of assets. Michele’s attorney references are available upon request.

With a proven track record of outstanding customer service, industry knowledge, professional integrity and highest prices paid, Michele’s Gold Buyers is a great choice for turning your old jewelry into instant cash.

Stop in and visit Michele and see what a pleasant and profitable experience it will be. Michele’s Gold Buyers is located in the DeGeorge Professional Building, 249 Brick Blvd. in Brick. You can call Michele’s at 732-262-Gold (4653). Michele’s is open M o n d a y through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Can’t make those hours? The staff at Michele’s will go the extra mile to accommodate you. Just call Michele DeGeorge at 732-503-0079 and she will gladly arrange an after-hours appointment for you.

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.
