East Bay Ave. Bridge Scheduled For July 4 Opening
Officers Embark On 10–Mile Walk To Honor Memorial Day
LACEY – Ten miles, four hours, carrying a heavy backback. The conditions are similar to a “hump,” the term Marines use to describe a march or hike while wearing packs and equipment. Lacey Police officers decided to embark on their own “hump,” as part of Memorial Day Weekend event to honor soldiers who died

BARNEGAT – The East Bay Avenue bridge is on schedule to reopen by July 4, Barnegat Mayor John Novak said, though he admits he remains skeptical on the timeline.
“Don’t always believe everything you’re told,” he said at a recent meeting of the township committee. The old timber bridge, which was 60 years old, closed in September and
has been under construction ever since. The entire project has been estimated by Ocean County off icials to take approximately 15 months to complete, though alternating traffic with one lane will be allowed to cross the span once one lane of the
bridge is completed. The $2.2 million project includes a replacement of the bridge, which spans Double Creek, one lane at a time. The new bridge will be made of steel beams and piers, and will have an estimated life span of a century, officials have said.
Officials Pledge Faster Service As County Buses Upgrade Computers
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 (Buses - See Page 5)

to Honor the Fallen departed police headquarters and embarked on the four-hour, 10-mile hump to honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to this country. The officers wore 40 to 60 pound weighted packs and carried two United States flags and a Marine Corps flag along a designated 10-mile path within Lacey Township, ending up at the Memorial within Bicentennial
BARNEGAT – A Mayor’s task force is being organized regarding the finances of the Municipal Dock and the Bathing Beach.
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 deci-
mated 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.
Park next to the Lacey Township Municipal Building. Hiking throughout such areas as the back of Gille Park onto Manchester Avenue, to Route 9 in Lanoka Harbor, they then head south to East Lacey Road in Forked River turning left onto East Lacey Road to the area of the Captain’s Inn, then they turned around and marched west onto Bay Avenue back to Route 9. The trek went farther, with the men continuing on Route 9 south to Taylor Lane, then to the rail trail northbound to
Lakeside Drive South. Once on Lakeside Drive South, they marched westbound around the lakes to Deerhead Lake Drive, then Lakeside Drive North westbound to Newark Avenue toward Lacey Road. They completed the hump taking Lacey Road eastbound to the Memorial on Lacey Road at Bicentennial Park within the municipal complex. The Marine veterans included special, personal items in their packs in honor of specific fallen Marines whom they served with in combat.
Motorists were honking, waving, stopping to express thanks, while residents in the neighborhoods were taking pictures and videos, etc., and offering refreshments as well as very positive expressions of support. This was the first of other memorial “humps” to honor the fallen that the officers have planned for the future. The Lacey Township Police Department is currently staffed with 12 military veterans among the ranks. Their military service includes the Marine Corps, Army, Navy, and Air Force. –Story by Police Chief David A. Paprota

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-

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.

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 Capitol Comments
9th Legislative District
Committee Passes Bill Requiring Pledge Of Allegiance At Public Meetings
NEW JERSEY – Under the Open Public Meetings Act sponsored by Senator Christopher J. Connors, all public bodies would be required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and to display the United States flag at the beginning of meetings. The legislation, S-308, was approved by the Senate
State Government, Wagering, Tourism and Historic Preservation Committee on May 23. Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove have requested to join as cosponsors on the Assembly companion version, A-777, which has been referred to the Assembly State and Lo-
cal Government Committee. “Under current law, public bodies are not required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance or to display the U.S. flag,” said Senator Connors. “While the overwhelming majority of public bodies do both voluntarily, I have joined with Senator Jeff Van Drew in a bipartisan legis-
lative effort, to statutorily require that these patriotic acts be carried out as part of the public hearing process.” Senator Connors further remarked, “Essentially, the intent of the legislation is to prevent a loophole in cur rent law from being exploited by any public body foregoing the process
as a sign of protest or contempt against our country. Unquestionably, such an outrageous act would be deeply offensive to many, most especially to those who have served our nation for which the U.S. flag and Pledge of Allegiance take on a deeper meaning due to their service and sacrifice.”

From The Desk Of Congressman Tom MacArthur: MacArthur Scores Six Legislative Victories In Defense Bill
Congressman Tom MacArthur NEW JERSEY – Cong ressman Tom MacA rthur applauded the passage of the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) out of the U.S. House of Representatives. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2017 is the pr imar y way Cong ress meets its most important constitutional obligation to “provide for the common defense.” It advances the vital funding and authorities that America’s military requires. In today’s world of unprecedented threats, uncertainty and technological change, the NDAA seeks to improve the readiness of the military and address declining resources. Congressman MacArthur sits on the House Armed Services Committee, and proposed six individual provisions that have been included in the NDAA. Last year, Congressman MacArthur successfully secured language in the joint bill that prevents the retirement of the KC-10 until at least the end of the 2017 fiscal year.
“I am extremely pleased o u r s i x p r ov i s io n s t o protect Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and secure and strengthen the military have been included in the National Defense Authorization Act,” said Congressman MacArthur. “Our provisions will give an overdue pay raise to our troops, initiate East Coast missile defense and protect military families with our adoption leave policy and expedited care for children with rare medical anomalies. Additionally, we can rest assured that our language banning a military base closure and realignment has been included once again. Protecting Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and the many that rely on it remains one of my top priorities.” This year, MacArthur fought for six provisions to benefit military families and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst – all six were included in the bill: Ban on Base Realignment and Closure – MacArthur’s language banning a base closure through fiscal year 2017 has been included in the final NDAA. “As the largest employer in Southern New Jersey, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst remains a critical part of our region’s economy and national defense,” said
Congressman MacArthur. “That’s why I’ve taken meaningful actions in Congress to protect the future of the Joint Base and the brave military men and women who serve there. A potential BRAC would have a devastating effect on the communities surrounding the Joint Base and I’m pleased our protections have been once again been included.” Joint Base Wage Parity – MacArthur’s provision urges the Office of Personal and Management (OPM) to adopt a recommendation that would cor rect the wage grade pay-parity issue at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and bring wage grade employees onto a single locality pay. “This provision will give our military families a raise and create pay equality at the Joint Base,” said Congressman MacArthur. Adoption Leave for Military Families – MacArthur’s Adoption Leave for Military Families language has been included in the final NDAA. This provision will allow couples serving in the military to take leave immediately following the adoption of a child, similar to the leave available after childbirth. “I have been blessed with both natural born and adopted children, and I know how important
it is to have that period to bond,” said Congressman MacArthur. “Through adoption, couples come to understand that parenting is not about biological origins, but the profound relationship between a mother or father and their child. I want our military families to have this experience with a smooth transition. Our military families have already sacrificed so much, and I want to support them regardless of how they are building their family.” U.S. Israel Security Cooperation – MacArthur’s provision would provide for the sharing of research and development costs between the United States and Israel to develop directed energy capabilities to detect and defeat ballistic missiles. These directed energy capabilities would detect and defeat ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, mortars and improvised explosive devices that threaten the United States, our forces overseas and Israel. “Today’s rapidly evolving threats have changed our approach to national security both at home, and abroad,” said Congress-
man MacArthur. “We must make vital investments in missile defense and further expand our partnership with Israel in this field, which has made great strides in recent years, and will offer the U.S. and Israel a less expensive and highly capable defense system. As our closest ally in a highly unstable part of the world, Israel faces countless threats and challenges to her very existence, including the ballistic missile testing conducted by Iran last week, which included the insult “Israel should be wiped off the earth” written in Hebrew on one of the missiles. It is abundantly clear that there is no time to waste in helping to improve the defense of both the US and Israel.” Treatment of Fetal Anomalies – MacArthur’s provision would allow military families facing medical complications with their children the ability to seek immediate medical treatment by avoiding the cumbersome referral process. “As a father, I know how helpless you can feel when your child is faced with a serious illness,” said Congressman MacArthur. “I
want to ensure our military families receive swift and immediate attention for their children if they are facing serious anomalies and difficult health problems.” Aegis Ashore Missile Site – MacArthur’s provision pushes for a missile defense interceptor site to increase national security. Current missile defense interceptor sites exist in California and Alaska, but lack one on the East Coast of the United States. The prospect of an Aegis Ashore site offers an affordable way to protect large population centers from ballistic missile attacks. “As the Representative of a significant number of people who lost loved ones during the 9/11 attacks, I take securing the East Coast very seriously,” said Congressman MacA r thur. “Ter rorists have shown in the past that they view cities like New York, Washington and Boston as targets and will not hesitate to attack. Any increase in protection is certainly warranted and this study will present an alternative option and a proactive approach to our national security agenda.”

Community News Barnegat Bay Festival Offers Plenty Of Fun ISLAND HEIGHTS – Touch a bay critter, get out on the water, make a fish print, enjoy the waterfront view – do all this and more at the Barnegat Bay Festival on June 5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Wanamaker Complex in Island Heights. This annual festival is sponsored by the Barnegat Bay Partnership, the National Estuary Program for the Barnegat Bay and the Barnegat Bay Foundation, a non-profit organization supporting the protection and restoration of the bay. This year’s festival theme is “From Pinelands to Tidelands.” Discover all the ways to enjoy the Barnegat Bay watershed from its forests to its water. From water-based activities, like the canoe eco-tour to hands-on children’s activities like the aquatic touch tank and seining, attendees will have many opportunities to explore the valuable natural resources of our estuary. The more than 60 participating environmental organizations will showcase not only the importance of protecting our natural resources, but all the ways they can be enjoyed. The Barnegat Bay Watershed Ambassador and the Barnegat Bay Partnership field technicians will display an interactive storm flood model and share living water species under the microscope; the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection will showcase its successful Barnegat Bay Blitz (a watershed-wide clean-up); a Native Plant sale (with “the little plant company”) will spotlight Jersey-Friendly yards and many exhibits will
focus on climate-ready endeavors and sustainability. There will also be an emphasis on continued support of the Jersey Shore with many of the ways visitors can enjoy the recreational aspects of the bay: kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, fishing, crabbing, clamming, camping, birding and so much more. Other fun and free activities at the Barnegat Bay Festival include: Canoe eco-tours (pre-registration required; for either 8:30 a.m. or 10:30 a.m. departures) or a pontoon boat ride on the Toms River (reserve free tickets on a first-come, first-served basis on festival day). Relax to The ShoreSyde Duo with the sounds of summer or the traditional music of the Greater Pinelands Dulcimer Society, the Acoustic Musicians Guild, the Top Hats or a special children’s performance by YOSI and Johnny at 11 a.m. Touch sea life in Jenkinson’s Aquarium touch tank, learn about raptors and reptiles with the Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge, make paper with seeds, try your hand at fish printing or walk through the soil tunnel for an “underground” experience. Visit the more than 40 eco-friendly arts and crafts vendors and businesses and enjoy all varieties of great festival food. Check out all that’s happening at the Festival at bbp.ocean.edu. For more information or to pre-register for the canoe eco-tour, call Betsy Hyle, special events coordinator, at 732-9148109.

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. Accordi ng to the A mer ican 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 “ever ything 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!

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

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.

Robert C. Shea Esq. Stacie A. Brustman Esq.
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.

Crime Unit Gives Ransomware Warning OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Prosecutor High Tech Crime Unit recently warned county residents of malicious Ransomware computer programs circulating the county designed to hold computer files hostage until a ransom is paid to unscrupulous cyber criminals. Known as Ransomware, this scam has been reported in over twenty countries in Europe and has been circulating regularly in the United States infecting computers. The malicious software can be installed from a website the user has visited, from an email, instant message or a message on a social network that the user receives. When Ransomware infects a computer, it will cause the computer to lock up. At times, Ransomware will create a pop-up window or a webpage warning which advises the user that they have been engaged in some type of illegal activity on the internet. The computer system is then rendered unusable until the Ransomware is removed. The message from the cyber-criminal advises the user that once the fine is paid the machine will be unlocked or the user will be sent a code to unlock the machine.
There is no known “cure” or way to reverse the latest variant of “Ransomware” once a computer is infected. Unless the victim has a back-up of the files on a secondary storage device they will not be able to recover the files. Although anti-virus companies are working to prevent this type of activity, unfortunately computer criminals are always updating their tactics and inventing ways to circumvent the computer industry’s anti-virus programs. Consumers can avoid being a victim of Ransomware by keeping all security software on the computer up to date, keeping the firewall turned on, not opening spam email messages or links to suspicious websites and most importantly, by backing up all important files to a secondary storage device. The Ocean County Prosecutor advises citizens that they should not send any money in response to this type of activity. Any questions about Ransomware can be reported to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, High Tech Crimes Unit at 732-929-2027. For further tips on how to avoid computer scams, call the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs at 732-929-2105.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of June 4-June 10 By Jeraldine Saunders
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.
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.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Summertime Grilling: This Recipe Will Help You Stay Swimsuit-Ready By Wolfgang Puck
The start of the grilling season kicks off on Memorial Day. Although we cook a lot of main-dish meats, poultry and seafood year-round over a live fire at my restaurants, at home I can’t wait to head to my patio to fire up the grill for family meals. At this time of year, though, like many people, my wife and I are also thinking about the fact that we’ll soon be heading off on vacation and putting on our swimsuits. That’s why I like to keep my grilling extra-healthy, following the kinds of cooking principles I also emphasize in my book “Wolfgang Puck Makes It Healthy” ($30, Grand Central Life & Style). The following recipe makes a perfect choice, not only for your first homegrilled meal this year but also to enjoy all summer long: It’s a light, healthy chopped vegetable salad with grilled salmon. As it implies, the salad itself follows one of the main principles of healthy eating: Base the majority of your meals on fresh seasonal produce. In late spring and summer, the farmers’ market offers a wide selection of vegetables on which to base your salad, and those I list in the recipe are just my suggestions for a good mixture of flavors, textures and colors. Feel free to substitute whatever you like, taking care to blanch those vegetables that need a little cooking, with quick immersions first in boiling water and then in an ice-water bath. The wonderful thing about fresh produce is that you need very little in the way of a dressing to highlight their qualities. The vinaigrette I call for here uses only 3/4 tablespoon of healthy oils per person, along with a touch of Dijon mustard and two flavorful vinegars. As many guests in my restaurants request when they order my popular Chino Chopped Vegetable Salad, on which this recipe is based, I top these particular light salads with a grilled protein to transform them from an appetizer into a light but satisfying main course suitable for lunch or dinner alike. To keep it healthy, I used fresh salmon fillets; but you could also choose another favorite fish, jumbo shrimp, skinless/boneless chicken breasts or even a small portion of your a lean cut of meat. Whatever you select, the actual grilling takes just a matter of minutes. And, if the weather isn’t cooperating, you can cook the fish in your kitchen with a broiler, indoor grill, panini maker or hinged grill. CHOPPED VEGETABLE SALAD WITH GRILLED SALMON Serves 4 For the chopped vegetable salad:
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 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice 2 cups (500 mL) mixed baby greens of your choice For the grilled salmon: 4 fresh salmon fillets, skinless, about 4 ounces (125 g) each 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 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. Preheat an outdoor or indoor grill, a panini maker or double-sided indoor grill, or the broiler. Rub both sides of the salmon fillets with the olive oil and season evenly on both sides with salt and pepper. Cook until nicely browned and cooked through but still moist in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side on a regular outdoor or indoor grill or under the broiler, or 3 to 4 minutes total in the panini maker or hinged grill. While the salmon cooks, drizzle about two thirds of the vinaigrette dressing over the chopped vegetable mixture and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad leaves and toss well. To serve, arrange beds of salad leaves on top of four chilled salad plates. Mound the chopped vegetables on top of the leaves and place a salmon fillet on top of each mound of vegetables. Serve immediately.
