Opposing Views As Town, School District Weigh In On Funding Formula

–Photos by Jennifer Peacock Manchester BOE President Donald Webster opposed the new school funding formula; he is also the president of the NJ School Boards Association.

However, Mayor Ken Palmer endorses the change to funding.

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – One is for it, the other against it. What’s a municipality to do when its mayor and board of education president disagree?

He promised to make school fairness funding a priority in his administration.

Mayor Kenneth Palmer went so far as to sign a pledge back in July to support Gov.

Chris Christie’s “Fairness Formula: Equal School Funding and Property Tax Relief.”

Palmer told The Manchester Times in July that he appreciates the governor tackling this “colossal issue.” Taxpayers foot most of the school bill in the township, considered a wealthy district by current state school

September 11 Ceremonies To Remember Residents Who Died In Attacks

By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – Though the towers of New York City were another state away, the impact was nonetheless felt incredibly close to home. More than a dozen local residents died in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, in the World Trade Center but also on United Flight 93.

Many of their names can be found in local memorials to September 11. Some of the men and women, ranging in ages from 26 to 70, were residents at the time, while others grew up or graduated here.

Their names, compiled from archive news reports and September 11 sites, are reprinted here: Peter Paul Apollo, Waretown, World

POLICE: STAY OUT OF ASARCO

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The site offers trails for all terrain vehicles and swi mming for those who want to cool off from the summer heat or just have a picnic along the banks. There is a problem though: Heritage Minerals is off limits.

The 7,000-acre site attracts visitors, or, legally speaking, trespassers, who like to use it for their recreational needs, ignoring numerous signs warning would-be visitors to not trespass. The site is private property.

Because it’s remote and the site of a former mining operation, it’s also dangerous.

“The Heritage Minerals or ‘ASARCO’ site is private property. It is closed for recreational and other use and it is a criminal offense to enter or remain on the property.

In the interest of public safety, [we urge] everyone to obey the ‘No Trespassing’ signs posted at the site,” The Manchester Township Police said in a statement. “Trespassers are subject to hefty fines and penalties up to and including incarceration for being on (ASARCO - See Page 5)

but would still receive special education funds. While that would double the amount of State aid Manchester receives, other districts would lose a significant amount of funding, one of the reasons Manchester board of education president Donald Webster opposes the governor’s plan.

Webster is also the president of The New Jersey School Boards Association.

“I believe Mr. Webster and I are viewing the proposal through different lenses. His vision is on the entire state and the effect statewide. My obligation is to fight for Manchester’s equal or fair school funding,” Palmer said. “This has been and will continue to be my number one goal.

Now that there seems to be a consensus across the state that a change in the current funding plan is warranted, the more

support the better.”

While under Christie’s plan 75 percent of the state’s nearly 600 school districts would see an increase in per-pupil aid, 25 percent would see a decrease, and in some cases lose tens of millions of dollars in aid.

Webster said he agrees with the NJSBA’s executive director Dr. Larry Feinsod, who said the governor’s plan is divisive and unfair.

“I believe the Mayor and Council are misguided in their fervor to embrace the Governor’s proposed funding formula,” Webster said. “Yes, we all agree the current funding formula needs to be revised. Yes, Manchester would see a large increase in State aid for property tax relief, but nothing would be provided to help improve our schools (programs, facility needs, staffing, etc.) based on what the Governor has said.

Nor would our special needs, ELL or disadvantaged students receive any benefit

from his proposal that we can see. To the contrary, they would likely see reductions in critical services.”

While Ocean County isn’t home to any Abbott districts—generally poorer, urban districts that receive massive state funding for education—there are districts in the county that will lose under Christie’s plan, Webster said.

“Lakehurst (the sending district to our HS) would see a huge reduction in their funding and likely program devastation, as would Little Egg Harbor, Tuckerton and New Egypt here in Ocean County. It’s not just the urban districts that would be dramatically and adversely affected,” Webster said. “As an association, we cannot support any proposal that disadvantages students in 180 districts statewide and creates winners and losers for educational opportunities for our states students.”

A ccording to the Education Law Center,

a public education advocacy group in Newark, if Christie’s plan goes through, the Lakehurst school district would lose $2.89 million in state aid, 34 percent of its total operating budget. Plumsted would lose $2.5 million; Little Egg Harbor, $1.02 million; and Tuckerton, $270,966. Lakehurst would be the hardest hit district in the county.

For his part, Manchester school district business administrator Craig Lorentzen told The Manchester Times his position has not changed since July.

“The school funding fairness doctrine on the surface would be great for Manchester.

It has the potential to bring millions of dollars of additional state aid to the district.

However, a change this significant will also present some challenges. It is very early on in the discussion so the district will be watching this situation very closely,” Lorentzen said in July.

the property.”

Last summer, 17-year-old DeNasia Davis drowned in one of the bodies of water dotting the property. The police warn those “lakes” are not as inviting as they appear.

“During its years of operation, the land was mined so deeply that numerous bodies of water often referred to as ‘lakes’ for med.

These ‘lakes’ which are actually groundwater aquifers, litter the landscape on the site. Seemingly unassuming, these bodies of water offer many dangers. Because the lakes were formed as a result of the mining operation, they do not have stable bottoms or shore lines, the way naturally occurring lakes do,” Manchester Police said. “The banks are very unpredictable and dangerously unstable. Those entering the water will quickly realize that after taking a few steps in the soft, unstable sand that the shoreline ‘shelf’ quickly drops off to depths that exceed 60 feet. Some estimates have the largest ‘lake’ on the property as being up to 300 feet deep.”

Not only is the water deep, but cold.

Because it’s fed from mineral-rich spring water from aquifers, water temperatures plummet, causing even the strongest of swimmer to tire quickly.

“Making matters worse, a recent lack of rain has exposed a greater area of the shoreline shelf putting those near the water perilously close to the steep drop off. Furthermore, unsuspecting vehicle operators and other individuals, including bathers,

The Manchester Times, September 10, 2016, Page 5

and families with small children are faced with a higher risk of danger in this exposed area because of its potential to collapse without warning. Under no circumstance should anyone walk or drive on this exposed shelf or approach or enter these waters,” police said.

Captain Todd Malland told The Manchester Times no incidents have been reported recently on the property. The department wanted to remind residents to stay off the site.

The department increased patrols during Labor Day weekend, warning trespassers of fines for using ATVs and lighting bonfires, even with Hurricane Hermine churning up the Atlantic coast.

Manchester is not the only town grappling with trespassing and other concerns deep in the woods. A multi-jurisdiction response in Lacey, comprised of its local police, forest personnel and county responders have patrolled the Pine Barrens, addressing trespassing but also habitat destruction and other illegal activity. In one case, a party was found in the woods and a vehicle struck a responding officer as the occupants attempted to flee.

The Heritage Minerals site ceased mining operations in the 80s. It sits off Routes 70 and 37 and is the focus of redevelopment efforts of the Township and Hovsons. The township scrapped plans for a downtown center earlier this year, and will try to work within the framework of a 2004 settlement agreement that called for a 1,000-acre footpri nt on which to build homes and commercial properties.

Osprey Numbers Soar Amid Volunteer Efforts

By Judy Smestad-Nunn OCEAN COUNTY – The North American Osprey population has rebounded from the days when the number of nests sank to 50 in New Jersey, down from about 500 nests in 1974.

The osprey population plummeted then due to DDT pesticide in the food chain and a loss of their habitat due to development along the shore.

But that was 40 years ago, and after DDT was banned in 1968, and ospreys were listed as endangered in 1974, their population began to recover through the efforts of biologists who relocated the eggs and chicks and installed manmade nesting platforms.

Now there are an estimated 100 pairs of ospreys that nest on Barnegat Bay alone, said Ben Wurst, habitat program manager for Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ. He and a small group of volunteers have been monitoring the osprey population here and maintaining the nesting platforms since 2004, when there were only 20 active nests and 34 surviving young ospreys on Barnegat Bay. Most of the Bar negat Bay osprey nests have been built on the man-made platforms that can be seen from boats, which biologists and volunteers first installed in the 1970s, he said. Wurst and his volunteers have installed 150 nesting platforms in the past 12 years,

many on Barnegat Bay, he said.

Ospreys are highly migratory and they spend their winters in South America, with the largest concentration in Columbia, Ecuador and Brazil, which biologists have learned through a federal USGS bird banding program and aerial studies.

The females migrate south first, usually sometime in August, and in September the males and juveniles leave New Jersey, Wurst said.

“Cold temperatures and ice prevents them from getting food, so maybe it’s because of global warming, but every year some birds stick around longer and longer because there is no pressure to leave,” he said from his field office in Tuckahoe.

Now, platforms and nests can be found in such places as Cattus Island in Toms River, the back bays of Brick, near the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences waterfront, at the Manasquan Reservoir in Howell and Bay Boulevard along Bayville. There’s also an “Osprey Cam” that the Friends of Island Beach State Park have trained on a platform there, for live streaming.

Ospreys have a high level of f idelity, and pairs mate for life, although they do not s p e nt t hei r w i nt e r s t oget her. The male ret ur ns to New Jersey (Osprey - See Page 7)

f irst–usually in mid- to late- March, and when the female retur ns the male performs a “sky dance,” or a mating ritual where he f lies above their nest in a courtship display, Wurst said.

“He might carry a fish, which shows a successful hunt, or he might be holding onto nesting material; it’s interesting to observe this behavior, it’s unique to see,” he said.

The male also emits a high whistle-like call during mating season when the ospreys spruce up their existing nests, making them larger and thicker.

The female gestates from late April to early May, and she does about 70 percent of the incubation during the average 36-day brooding period, Wurst said. From April until August the female hardly leaves the nest at all.

The female Osprey can produce three to four eggs a year with an average of two surviving per nest, he said.

“The male has a specific duty as the provider. He does 100 percent of the foraging,” Wurst said. “After a successful hunt he comes back to the nest. He holds the fish, head first, then he feeds himself the head, and after he’s had his fill there is an incubation exchange and the female takes a break to eat, preen, and maybe stretch her wings.”

Once the young are able to f ly in August, the females get to rest and leave the nest to forage. The juveniles are still

somewhat dependent on the adults for food until they can forage on their own which they learn to do before migrating south in September.

The juveniles use geo-magnetic fields to f ind their way to South America, where they spend t wo years before returning to New Jersey. When they return in 2018, it will be to look for foraging areas but they won’t breed that year, Wurst said.

“They’re setting the stage for future breeding in the same watershed, but not necessarily next door to their parents,” he said.

Project RedBand, started in 2014, is focused on banding junior ospreys that nest in the Barnegat Bay watershed in order to lear n about their dispersal, foraging habits, site fidelity, migration routes and their life span.

Wurst said another goal of the project is to engage the public in osprey management and conser vation along the Jersey Shore.

This is the f irst year that one of the 63 red-banded birds from 2014 have retur ned, and Wurst urges the public to report the alpha-numeric code on the band (readable with binoculars), and when and where the bird was seen.

To repor t a red-banded osprey visit conservewildlifenj.org/redband.

The osprey diet varies throughout the season, but 99 percent of their diet is live f ish--any type of f ish--but they will occasionally eat a small rodent or bird, he said.

They can live for 20 years, and they can reproduce every year, but they have a high mortality rate, primarily before they leave the nest.

If the nest is in a salt marsh, raccoons and mink can climb into the osprey nest and eat the eggs or the very young--as do aerial predators, such as the Great Hor ned Owl, Bald Eagle, g ulls and crows.

If the adult male is gone because of an injury, the female has to abandon the nest, leaving the eggs exposed.

“Another threat to adult ospreys is electrocution; there is utility infrastructure everywhere that is not designed to be bird-friendly, and the birds don’t know it can hurt them,” Wurst said.

Good Luck Point in Berkeley is the site of a former telecommunications facility and the location of some 16 osprey nests that the birds have built on some of the old telephone poles.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife is planning to remove the poles, which number about 50, Wurst said, and while the details have not been worked out, the contractor working for the federal government would either leave enough poles for the osprey nests or build new nesting platforms.

T he nesting mater ial used by the ospreys also contributes to their mortality rate – material like ribbons from released balloons, plastic, and marine debris that can cause the birds to become entangled in their nests, Wurst said.

Part of what Wurst and the volunteers do is clean up the decomposing material in the nests and maintain them so they don’t get blown off in the winter, he said. Nests can weigh up to 200 pounds and decay quickly in the salt air.

“Most of our work with ospreys actually occurs when they are not here, so starting now we are beginning to schedule repairs to nesting platforms throughout the state,” he said. “No one else is doing it -- except for some areas or parks like Cattus Island who maintain their platforms and record activity at them in the summer months – we’re going out and making sure these nests are good.”

Volunteers are an integral par t of helping to maintain the platforms which are critical to the long-term survival of ospreys in New Jersey. For more information on symbolically adopting an osprey nesting platform visit conservewildlifenj.org/protecting/projects/ osprey/adopt-a-platform/.

Conserve Wildlife Foundation is a non-profit organization that works in a close partnership with the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program.

“One of the problems is our lack of funding, because we’d like to be able to construct more osprey platforms,” Wurst said. “It is a challenge to raise the money to carry out the work.”

Editorial 15 Years, Never Forgotten This September 11 marks 15 years since the tragedy toppled towers and shook the nation, killing nearly 3,000 and injuring thousands others that day in New York City, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania. Ocean County lost 19 of its residents in the attacks.

In the immediate months after these deadly tragedies, residents clamored to find American flags and showed their patriotism in countless small and large ways. We pledged to Never Forget. We hung patriotic signs, supported or organized charity events for the victims. Our local emergency responders were among those who aided in rescue and clean-up. Others enlisted in military service in the War Against Terror, signing up to make the ultimate sacrifice.

As months turned into years, the nation was no less removed from the impact of September 11th, whether the impact to the global economy or national security.

The pieces of steel from the World Trade Center became local memorials found in the lobbies, vestibules and public gathering spaces of nearly every town. Those spots and others, such as the “Angel in

Anguish” sculpture at Windward Beach in Brick, each year host the commemoration and memorial observances that are held on the anniversary of the tragedy.

In 2010, an area outside the Ocean County Freeholders building where several war memorials are installed, grew to include the installation of a piece of a steel girder from the World Trade Center which was added to the monument, laid upon a black base.

The inscription reads: “World Trade Center Steel, presented to the citizens of Ocean County on the 10th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001. With a heavy heart, America will forever remember.”

Six more years have gone by since that inscription was made. Do we still remember as we did then, or 15 years ago?

Remembering in your heart and with action can take so many forms. Wave the flag, attend a remembrance ceremony, help advocate for legislation that would help victims by contacting your legislators, or simply reflect on the fabric of the nation that has been woven along those 15 years.

Now – and any day – is still a moment to Never Forget.

Letters To The Editor The “Loose Cannon” Candidate During his campaign Donald Trump has had plenty of chances to do (or say) stupid things and he’s taken full advantage of his opportunities.

Here’s a man that said if elected president, he will deport twelve million aliens, punish women for having abortions, and will keep Juan, Jose and Carmelita out of the U.S. by building a wall on our southern border.

I recall the French built a wall to keep the Germans out in WW II – how’d that work out? When is someone going to explain to Donald that ignorance is not virtue?

More often than not, his prejudice clouds and darkens every sentence, every paragraph of his rhetoric. With Mr. Trump, it’s always winter but never Christmas. You’d think by now even those with limited intellectual resources would be able to connect the dots.

Not only does the “loose cannon” candidate becoming president scare the bejesus out of most rational human beings, some Republicans harbor a suspicion that Trump is really a RINO! To the far-right crowd, that’s worse than being HIV -positive, a homosexual or a practicing Muslim with a black wife with a union card on welfare.

To paraphrase the late H.L. Mencken, on some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright insufferable

dullard.

When you look at the alternative, however, is the other choice really any better?

Draft Dodging And Lies I am an 89 year old (almost 90) U.S. Navy veteran of WWII who proudly served in the South Pacific, along with many, many others. We had no draft dodgers in our crew.

Bill Clinton is a draft-dodger (Vietnam era) who on August 8, 1974, in speaking of President Nixon said: “Any president who lies to the American public should resign.” Bill Clinton lied and did not resign, but married Hillary Rodham Clinton, the lying and very untrustworthy person running for President of the United States. They match very well and Democrats support these lying cowards.

I’m glad we did not have a Draft-Dodging Commander in Chief during WWII, and those that support Hillary the liar, should not thank veterans for their service, because they would be hypocritical liars, just like Bill and Hillary.

Veterans and draft dodgers don’t match. Yet veterans served to protect draft dodgers.

expansion into North Jersey.

One thing they are leaving out of their pitch is how these casinos would create a traffic disaster at a time when our state simply cannot handle it.

If the most optimistic reports are to be believed, casinos in North Jersey would bring tens of thousands of people each day. One of the proposed locations for a casino is the Meadowlands – already one of the most congested areas for traffic in the country – where visitors would share the road with Giants and Jets fans in the fall and concertgoers throughout the year.

This could be a deadly combination considering that a 2010 study found “a strong link between the presence of a casino in a county and the number of alcohol-related traffic accidents.”

For any of us that have to make the trip up to New York City every day, we know that means longer commute times and less time with our families. So even though they can’t build a casino in Ocean County, we will still feel the impact from the increase in traffic up north.

The American Dream, of course, should do nothing to ease concerns. Billed as one of the largest entertainment complexes in the U.S., construction broke ground in 2004. But traffic delays caused by the development became so bad that in 2012 the Jets and Giants filed a lawsuit against its developer, and today, nearly 12 years later, the site remains under construction, underscoring just how unpredictable massive projects like this can be.

People coming to a casino in the Meadowlands would also be crowded onto the already-clogged New Jersey Turnpike and Route 17, as well as Route 3 – one of the main feeders of the more than 100,000 cars that go through the Lincoln Tunnel every day.

The expanded traffic will cause highways, already in poor repair, to endure further wear-and-tear, leading to even more congestion and more traffic issues for New Jersey commuters.

And yet perhaps the most

troubling part of this situation is the state of New Jersey’s Transportation Trust Fund, which ordinarily would be called upon to repair such roads. Currently, the fund is nearly depleted, and with the five-year funding program expiring this summer, Governor Christie recently declared a state of emergency, proclaiming that all “nonessential transportation projects” would be delayed.

Proponents of expansion contend the traffic issues these casinos would bring would be handled accordingly. But similar claims were made prior to the Super Bowl – the last time major transportation worries were expressed – and that night ended with more than 30,000 fans facing hours-long delays on public transportation, chanting “Jersey Sucks.”

To avoid similar outcomes in the future, New Jersey voters should reject the ballot initiative expanding casino gambling this fall. Doing so will allow Trenton to focus on solving the traffic problems we already have.

Many Small Businesses Never Reopen After A Disaster Is your business prepared for a flood, cyber-attack, chemical spill, fire – or even a long-term power outage? No one wants to consider these misfortunes happening to their business, but with advance planning, businesses will be in a much better position to survive a natural disaster or terror attack.

The longer your business is not operating, the more likely you are to lose customers permanently to your competitors.

The New Jersey Business Action Center helps business owners focus on “emergency preparedness” so they can possess the capability to respond to save lives, property and return to normal operations after a disaster occurs.

Because up to 40 percent of small businesses never re-open following a disaster, here are (Letters - See Page 30)

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

From the Desk Of The Freeholders Joseph H. Vicari and John P. Kelly

Freeholders: Drivers Cautioned To Watch For Children As Buses And Walkers Gear Up For Back To School

OCEA N COU NT Y – Fleets of school buses are back on the road as Ocean County’s schools are in session again.

“Each September we remind motorists to be cautious of not only school buses loading and unloading children, but also of the thousands of children that walk and bicycle to school,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari.

“Whether students take the bus, walk, ride a bicycle or are driven to school by their parents, there are

safety rules everyone must follow,” he said.

But safe driving begins before the car even reaches the street, he said.

“Even while backing out of your driveway you may encounter inattentive students walking or biking to school,” Vicari, a lifelong educator, said.

Drivers must also be extra alert for lower speed limits near schools.

“Crossing guards will be protecting children, but it’s up to all of us as drivers to slow down and watch for

kids in the roadway,” Vicari said.

When approaching any intersection, pedestrian crossing or school zone, be alert, cover the brake and be ready to stop.

“Take a hard look,” Vicari said. “Look, and then look again, for the child hidden by parked cars, shrubbery or high grass, trees, or poles. Even mailboxes can obscure a child, if only for a moment.”

Watch for the “darting child” who runs into the roadway chasing a ball or

some other object, he said.

He also urged students to use extra caution and carefully check for any moving traffic when they exit a school bus.

“Never trust a vehicle to stop just because the bus is flashing its red warning lights. Always look both ways before crossing the street after stepping out of the school bus,” Vicari said.

Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly reminded drivers that they must stop for school buses loading and unloading

children.

“State law requires drivers to stop at least 25 feet from a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing,” he said. “If a driver does not stop, the bus driver will report your license plate number and a summons will be mailed to the offending driver.”

Kelly, who is also Director of Law and Public Safety, said children walking to school should always follow the same route and avoid short cuts.

“Parents should walk with

their children at least once at the start of school so they know the route and approximately how long it takes to travel to and from school,” he said.

For children who ride their bikes to school, state law requires anyone under the age of 17 to wear an approved safety helmet while on a bike, Kelly said.

Kelly also asked that both children and motorists pay attention to their surroundings and not be distracted by cell phones while driving or walking.

OC Asks For Release Of 911 System & Emergency Response Fees OCEAN COUNTY – With more than 320,000 calls answered annually by Ocean County’s Sheriff Department 911 public safety dispatchers, officials are calling upon the state to release funds collected since 2009 from telecommunication surcharges earmarked for the 911 service.

“Since 2009, the state of New Jersey has failed to provide funding for eligible expenses to local 911 centers operated by counties and municipalities across the state,” said Ocean County Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy. “Instead, this funding has been diverted for ineligible expenses such as funding for the state’s Department of Law and Public Safety.”

“These funds should be coming back to the counties where they can be used for technology upgrades and staffing,” Mastronardy said. “911 is a key service to our citizens. In many instances it is a crucial lifeline. The state should be investing in it as outlined by federal regulations.”

Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, who serves as director of Law and Public Safety, noted the county has consistently provided funds to upgrade the

911 dispatch center.

“The Board of Freeholders is well aware of how important this service is to the residents of Ocean County,” Kelly said.

“These funds would be a big help in making certain our residents are well served.”

Ocean County’s emergency dispatching 911 operations were relocated in 2013 into a new home with room to meet future needs of the county and state-of-the-art equipment.

“Despite the lack of funding from the state, this board and our sheriff all recognize the great importance of this service and continue to make the necessary investments to keep pace with technology while the state redirects the money earmarked especially for this elsewhere,” Kelly said.

With its continued population growth in Ocean County along with its ongoing popularity in warm weather doubling its population, the county continues to update and enhance the operations of this vital service.

Work on expanding the 911 dispatching center, which moved to an existing warehouse on Chestnut Street, got under way in late 2012 and the expansion completed in 2013, provided over 16,000

square feet for a new enlarged 911 center.

The expanded call center has 13 state-of-the-art police and 13 fire dispatch consoles and a total of 25 stations. The new center was built with an eye toward more population growth. Under the plan, the county has the ability to further expand by at least 25 percent.

“We provided new consoles and recently had all new dispatch software installed,” Kelly said.

In addition, Sheriff Mastronardy installed a new digital switch allowing for text messages to 911.

“We took care of it because it’s important to public safety in our county; yet, the state again has failed to provide the funding.” Kelly said.

He noted the steps taken by the county are part of the first phase of improvements to the service.

The 911 operation, which is overseen by the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department, with the ongoing support of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, dispatches for 40 fire departments, 32 emergency first aid squads and 12 police agencies in the county.

According to county officials, New Jersey annually collects from consumers about $120 million in telecommunication surcharges and deposits the money into the 911 System and Emergency Trust Fund.

“The state of New Jersey has collected over $1.25 billion in fees since 2006 with only 11

percent of the money being spent on eligible expenses,” Mastronardy said.

Mastronardy’s request to the freeholders to pass a resolution asking the Governor and State Legislature properly allocate 911 System and Emergency Trust Fund Account monies to county

and municipal 911 centers as required under federal law was approved.

“The state should comply with federal law and restore this money so it can be used to operate, maintain and construct effective, efficient and contemporary 911 systems,” Kelly said.

Memorial Quilt Panels Focus On Veterans

By Jennifer Peacock BAYVILLE – A quick glance reminds one of a quilting expo, the tables lined with Grandma’s handiwork or heirlooms dug up from ancient hope chests.

Tips For Understanding Hearing Loss And Hearing Aids

The more loss you have, the less effective the hearing aids will be. Hearing aids cannot bring back hearing that is gone.

In the past, physicians have told patients that if you have “nerve damage,” it cannot be helped with hearing aids. On the contrary, most people who are successfully wearing hearing aids have nerve damage or what we refer to as “sensorineural” hearing loss.

Everyone does not get the same amount of benefit from hearing aids. It depends on your loss and particular situation. The more background noise that is present, the harder it will be to hear. Even normal hearing people hear less as the background noise increases. The better the hearing aid, the better you can expect to do.

In quiet situations, many hearing aid

wearers can expect near normal hearing.

Hearing aids should allow you to hear speech more clearly with less effort. Hearing aids should help to prevent others from noticing your hearing loss. Hearing aids should help to put you back in touch with your family and social activities.

It is important to remember all hearing losses are different and the benefits you received from your hearing aid may be different from others. A hearing aid is less conspicuous than your hearing loss.

If you suspect that you have hearing loss, the first step is to get professional evaluation from an audiologist. Getting realistic expectations from the evaluation can help you decide to move forward. Take that first step. Hearing aid technology has never been better.

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.

Prescription Medications That Make You Anxious

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. You wake up at 4 a.m. feeling tired, but wired and you keep twirling some person or event in your head, never going back to sleep.

Something bad is going to happen today and you just know it!

Your chest pounds and you feel dread when you think about going to that event or speaking to a certain someone.

These are the symptoms of anxiety, and some of you live with this every day, several times a day. Ruminating in a state of fear, panic or anxiety can cause other symptoms in your body that over time, wear your adrenals out and lead to severe insomnia, depression and high blood pressure. Stress can also cause ulcers.

There’s a difference between an anxiety or panic attack and generalized anxiety disorder or GAD. The difference is one is finite and quick and the other is constant.

GAD sufferers often expect the worse, when there’s no real reason for concern or they may fret about health, money, family or work issues. When you find that these intrusive thoughts are occupying much of your day, it’s time to do something about it.

As a pharmacist, I bet you think that I’m going to recommend a tranquilizer, but I’m not. That is the worst, possibly thing you could do and I rarely recommend drug treatment for this. In fact, I hold the opposite belief. I actually want you to consider the fact that a medication you take is causing the anxiety and changes in your mood.

For almost 7 million folks with GAD, it’s

very possible that most of them are taking a medication that induces anxiety. Here’s the list of some of the worst possible offenders, you are going to be stunned. If you take any of these, speak to your doctor because you will need to find a suitable alternative or follow very careful tapering instructions. Stopping suddenly could be a disaster. Here goes: Tranquilizers. Shocker isn’t it?! The medicine you may be taking to relax can actually lead to anxiety and panic attacks.

According to a 1995 study, it was known that in almost half the patients seeking advice for anxiety, panic and phobias, the cause was either alcohol or benzodiazepine drugs like clonazepam, alprazolam, lorazepam and others. The mechanism is complicated, but it’s due to a rebound arousal.

Getting off these drugs is a nightmare, so I’d say don’t even start.

Allergy medicines. It’s in the pseudoephedrine, which is a decongestant. This is a stimulant and can cause you to feel anxious.

Sleeping medicine. It’s hard to believe but these drugs don’t put you into a restful, natural sleep. Oftentimes, they steal your REM sleep, and so over time you actually become sleep-deprived. Anxiety sets in.

Asthma inhalers. The albuterol in these medications is the offender, it’s great to help open up breathing passageways, but it causes a person to feel stressed and hyperactive. For a more comprehensive list of medication categories that spark anxiety, sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Injured at Work? Know Your Rights to Critical Benefits!

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage.

In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims.

An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits.

Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment.

Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization.

Further, it is important to note another Christopher R. Shea Esq. critical benefit of the Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care.

If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Seek Some Help To Work Out The Differences

Dear Joel, I have an issue that I haven’t been able to discuss with anyone else and decided to write to your column. About two years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. As you can imagine it was a frightening experience and all things considered I am doing well. I did undergo many forms of treatment which changed some of my sensations, gait and certainly outlook on life. The good news is that I have been cancer free. I am celebrating a new sense of health that I didn’t appreciate before this happened.

Here is my problem. My husband was always a very physical man. Since my illness, I have no appetite for sex and find him very insensitive.

There has been a lot of tension in our home and I would like your opinion as to who is right and who is wrong.

Answer: First of all thank you for writing. I must start by saying that although many people think that I am a physician. That is not the case. That being said, working in home health care for as long as I have, I hear many personal stories.

Your situation is not unique. There are many reasons why couples drift apart sexually, even when illness has not been an issue in the relationship.

Your last sentence of “who is right in this situation” is an interesting one. I am less concerned about who is right and more concerned with helping you as there really isn’t a right or wrong. Although, I can’t be certain, my guess is that the two of you will not be able to work this out by yourselves. I suggest seeking a marriage counselor, sex therapist or other mental health professional. The answer may be right in front of you but neither of you knowing how to find it by yourselves. I wish you good health and truly hope that you can work through your differences Joel Write to joel@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

If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566 “home health care with feeling. Joel Markel is President of Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing services inc. serving all of New Jersey in adult, senior and pediatric home health care .”

Continued From Page 8

five recommended strategies to help small businesses prepare – and survive – the worst: House documents on the cloud, not your office computer: Most businesses keep on-site records and files that are essential to normal operations. To reduce your vulnerability, determine which records, files, and materials are most important and back them up. These may include income tax forms, QuickBooks files, customer contact lists, strategy documents and passwords. From there, save these files on the cloud using an affordable service like Dropbox, Google Docs or Box so you can access them from anywhere.

Keep office property secure: Raise computers above the flood level and move them away from large windows; move heavy and fragile objects to low shelves, and secure equipment that could move or fall during an earthquake. In addition, hire a cyber security expert to make sure your systems are secure and virus free. Protect your most important documents, credit card numbers, email correspondence and more by hiring an expert to set up a secure system well in advance.

Plan for business continuity: Establish a clear plan for decision-making if the business owner is incapacitated. Ensure passwords as well as keys, alarm codes, phone forwarding, etc., are provided to trusted employees in the event of a disaster. Consider financial obligations you will have during interruption, such as payroll and

debt service, and ensure a system is in place to pay bills electronically. Establish a social media presence for your business (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or Twitter), and use the social media tools to communicated with your customers about your business’ status.

Make sure your insurance is current: Review your insurance coverage with an agent or your insurance center; specifically check the status of your business’s interruption insurance. If disaster occurs, you can file a business interruption insurance claim detailing lost income and steps required before the business can reopen. For insurance and tax purposes, be sure to maintain written and photographic inventories of all important materials and equipment – and store in a safety deposit box if possible.

Consider installing an emergency generator: Power outages are commonplace during disasters, and they may last for several days. As a result, even businesses that are not severely damaged can suffer losses because of the interruption of normal operations or the loss of perishable stock. You can reduce these losses and speed the recovery process by installing an emergency generator in advance.

Although we can’t prevent man-made or natural disasters, business owners can take proactive measures to minimize disruption and reduce loss so you can return to normal operations as soon as possible.

BUSINESS PROFILE

By Robert D. Verderese Those who want an alternative to the talk show format need not look any further. Tune in to “Preferred Company” with Joel Markel, President and owner of “Preferred Home Health Care” and his co-host, M ar ianne Lev y, airing 8 to 10 a.m., Monday through Friday, on WOBM-AM (1160 and 1310). Chock-full of fun and friendly talk, along with game shows, trivia contests, nostalgia and celebrity inter views, “Preferred Company” is the perfect blend of good conversation and entertainment that is sure to please.

While there are many dimensions to “ Pre ferred Company,” the one that listeners are immediately struck by is the wonderful chemistry between Joel and Marianne: “It’s like we can read each other’s minds,” Marianne says.

Moreover, when you li ste n to “ Pr efe r r e d C o m p a ny,” you cannot miss the spec i a l c o nn e c tion that Joel and Marianne have: “ There really is a comfort and lightness between us that allows us to bring out the best in one another,” Joel adds.

So what is it besides “good chemistry” between Joel and Marianne that makes “Preferred Company” stand out from the crowd?

Well, for starters, the show’s format is almost entirely unscripted: “ We don’t know what we’re going to talk about five minutes before the show goes on the air,” Marianne

STAKES ARE HIGH

admits. For some in the radio business, the idea to do a show with no script would be a frightening prospect, but at “Preferred Company,” it is the only way to do a radio show.

For instance, Joel desc r ibes the unique ness of the show in the following way: “What makes our show special is how natural the format is—it’s like we’re having coffee with you at a restaurant where any subject can be discussed at any time.”

To be sure, “Preferred Company” distinguishes itself from many radio shows in that it is consistently interactive by way of phone calls and emails. Unlike many other talk shows that rarely, if ever, take phone calls or respond to emails, “Preferred Company” considers interacting with their audience as an essential part of the program.

Listeners can also connect with “Preferred Company ” by downloading an App called “ R a di o p u p” to t h e i r smartphones. People f rom all around the world listen to Joel and Marianne via this App: “We love “Radiopup” and how it allows us to connect with people from all types of backgrounds. It really gives our show another level of c onnectivit y — it ’s wonderful!” says Marianne.

Speaking of wonderful, let’s not forget about Joel’s lovable puppy Oliver and Marianne’s “favorite,” Norman: “I love dogs and love to share dog stories with our listeners,” says Marianne.

Discussing everything from the smar test

Further, Joel and Marianne welcome their family-of-listeners to the show ’s website,

Do you want to harken back to “the good old days’ of yore?

At “Preferred C o m p a n y,” you can travel with Joel and Marianne on a “Streetcar Named Nostalgia” and reminisc e about how things used to be.

“Many of our listeners are baby boomers and enjoy talking about t h e p ast . I t puts a smile on their face and gives them a good feeling inside and we like to be a part of that,” Joel recounts.
