New Zoning For Affordable Housing Fails To Pass

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – Council let die an ordinance that would have created a “PIC Planned Inclusionary Community Zone” as proposed to a developer.

According to the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty, inclusionary zone policies “encourage the production of affordable housing by requiring or encouraging housing developers to build residential developments where a certain percentage of the housing units are affordable to low or moderate income residents.”

Several homeowners and businesses have gone all out in dressing their homes in

Christmas lights for the holidays.

Here are some of our favorite holiday displays around Ocean County. Print the list and mark your map and enjoy before they’re gone for the season.

The Sounds Of Joy, Hope And Compassion

By Lois Rogers Since early December, area houses of worship have been welcoming one and all to concerts that sing of the holiday season.

And from venerable major annual events such as the annual musical gala at The Presbyterian Church of Toms River which unites

the 60-voice Sanctuary Choir December 4 and soloists with a brilliant orchestra, to the contemporary sounds of Emil and Friends December 17 at Christ Episcopal Church, Toms River, the December page of this year’s calendar was guaranteed to answer the prayers of music lovers.

Ask those who share their vocal and instrumental talents during these busy weeks of preparation and those who set aside time to go and listen why these offerings are such an important part of the season and the answers are warmly familiar.

JACKSON WEIGHS BILLBOARDS

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – Billboards might a good idea to raise capital. But by law they aren’t permitted in Jackson.

Resident Richard Egan asked that Council consider allowing billboards along Route 195 on township property. The proposal received enthusiastic agreement from the dais.

“I am a huge advocate for pursuing revenue through billboard rentals on township property along the 195 corridor,” councilman Barry Calogero told the newspaper.

However, signs are regulated under the township’s land use and development code, which prohibits “Billboard sign (off-premises sign, outdoor advertising sign).” The code defines a billboard as “[a] structure utilized for advertising an establishment, an activity, a product, a service or an entertainment which is sold, produced, manufactured, available or furnished at a place other than on the property on which said sign is located.”

Zoning:

Continued From Page 1

Builders in turn often receive incentives for setting aside units for affordable housing, such as building more units that usually permitted or fast-tracking permits to build.

The ordinance, which had first reading at a recent Jackson Council meeting, was drafted by representatives from EL at Jackson.

The ordinance set a maximum “gross residential density” of 1,100 units. Twenty percent of those homes for sale would be affordable housing units, and 15 percent set side as affordable housing rentals.

EL at Jackson wanted to put such a development at the old HovBilt off Perrineville Road in Cassville.

“Planned Inclusionary Zoning (PIC) and

mixed income communities are usually put into place in a city dwelling. New York City, Chicago and Washington, D.C. utilized this zoning for redevelopment purposes,” Environmental Commissioner and activist Denise Garner told The Jackson Times.

“Jackson Township does not have the need for redevelopment. This kind of zoning does add pressure to our already environmental impacts in our township that houses some of the most important resources. Jackson Township is very important to the Barnegat Bay, because we house the following headwaters for the Medeteconk Watershed, Toms River Watershed, and The Kirkwood-Cohansey water-table aquifer. Why would our township officials even consider this type of zoning, which is actually urbanization?”

While residents showed up with protest

signs about the ordinance, council did let the ordinance die. Municipal attorney Jean Cipriani said the ordinance was introduced under the terms of a consent order. The township has been involved with affordable housing litigation, which EL at Jackson intervened in; the HovBilt project was approved years ago pursuant to an affordable housing agreement for senior housing. That housing was never built and some of the land changed hands.

The land is still zoned for the abandoned project, which El at Jackson is trying to change.

Cipriani read into the record a report by Jackson’s affordable housing planner, John Maczuga of JDM Planning Associates in Brick, responding to El at Jackson’s proposed ordinance. An attorney for the developer and

Maczuga had a back and forth, incorporating changes to the draft ordinance.

Maczuga found numerous problems with the ordinance, including the fact that it didn’t specifically rezone any parcel in town, among other issues. Items Maczuga said were discussed and agreed to at a meeting between the parties were not in the revised ordinance.

Council had no comments about Maczuga’s report.

In the meantime, while other municipalities around Ocean County continue to enter into settlement agreements about affordable housing obligations, Jackson Township plans to go to trial. The township entered into an agreement with attorney Jeffrey Surenian, Brielle, who specializes in affordable housing.

Home Safety: Preventing Falls at Home

F

By Marissa Furka, DPT, Home Physical Therapist

or many individuals, home is where the heart is. It can also be where many elderly individuals will suffer catastrophic falls resulting in injury, dependence and even death. Falls are one of the leading causes of injury in older adults and often result in emergency room admittance. Fortunately, many falls are easily preventable by simply modifying our home living environments.

Physical therapists, specifically those trained in the home environment modification, can quickly and easily asses a living space and offer practical solutions for home safety.

For some people, modifying the home environment is only the start. Fall risk assessment and treatments provided by skilled physical therapists can greatly decrease your fall risk and help promote a healthier and safer lifestyle.

Through these simple and easy tricks and techniques, the risk of falling can be greatly reduced or eliminated.

Let’s look at the big picture: your home and your safety.

Take a look around your home. Let’s start from the ground up. In an ideal situation the floor should be clear of any obstacles. This includes throw rugs, extension wires, and excessive furniture and clutter. Removing throw rugs is an easy and simple solution to a common problem. Throw rugs often shift and slide under foot and can pose a hazard to an individual who struggles to catch their balance. Items such as telephone or lamp cords should be coiled or taped out of the way. Even better, purchasing a cordless phone or a cell phone can eliminate this common trip hazard. Other obstacles that often cause falls included dog toys, piles of magazines or mail, and shoes. Make sure to pick them up and store in a location away from walkways. Ensure walkways are wide enough for walking with ease throughout the home. Removing excessive furniture that partially blocks a walkway may prevent a stumble when you are trying to squeeze on by. Take a look at stairwells around your home, are they well lit? Are the stairs free of clutter and items? Is there carpet on the stairs that is loose or fraying? Is there a handrail on both sides of the steps? For someone who struggles with steps, installing a secondary handrail can make the difference between climbing stairs and climbing stairs safely. By fixing these common issues and removing tripping hazards on steps, the likelihood of

a fall is greatly reduced. You should be able to walk around your home with ease and without worrying about tripping or stumbling. Moreover, if you walk outside make sure walkways are clear of litter and objects and walkways are in good condition. Handrails, especially on steps, should be inspected for sturdiness. This will ultimately make entry and egress easier and safer for yourself and your guests.

If you are unable to install handrails, installing grab bars is your next best bet.

Let’s talk about your kitchen and eating areas next. Are things you use most often within easy reach? Try to keep everything you use frequently waist level and within easy reach. Avoid reaching into top shelves of wall cabinets. If you have to use a step stool, make sure it is sturdy and has a handle for safe operation. Avoid using chairs as step stools! Once again, avoid using a throw rug by the kitchen sink. Keep water off the floor and if it does get wet, dry thoroughly to avoid a potential fall hazard. Same goes for the bathroom. Make sure you have grab bars installed if you need support to get in to and out of the tub. Use nonslip rubber mats as necessary on the floor of the shower or tub. Make sure the bathroom is well lit especially for night time use. A bright night light is essential to make trips to the bathroom at night safer. And be careful about rugs within the bathroom environment. Trip hazards run rampant in the bathroom environment because of the small space and the lack of safety hardware.

Take a look at your bedroom. Make sure your floor is free of clutter. Many of us read at night but ensure last night’s crossword puzzle or magazine doesn’t end up on the floor.

Use an end table and put things you utilize frequently on it such as books, magazines, television controllers and phones. Put lamps within easy reach for turning on and off. Utilize night lights that will provide a well-lit path from your bed to your bathroom. Similarly, utilizing a table lamp to illuminate a dark pathway at night can provide a safe walkway. Avoid going barefoot or wearing slippers. Make sure footwear is close to your bed so you can easily don and doff shoes. Socks alone can make hardwood floors or tile more slippery and pose a fall risk hazard. Position assistive devices, such as canes and walkers, dose to the bed for easy access for use in middle of the night runs

and for your morning routine.

Keeping your space safe is just one thing you can do to prevent falls in the home. Getting a thorough evaluation by a therapist is also a step in the right direction. Fall prevention is multifaceted and individual. Making sure you are taking the right steps to safety is a key ingredient of what physical therapists do on a daily basis.

FREE Educational Community Workshop Many older adults experience a fear of falling. People who develop this fear often limit their activities, which can result in physical weakness, making the risk of falling even greater.

A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns about Falls is a program designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels among older adults.

Billboards:

Continued From Page 1

It’s unclear when that code was written and adopted, and though there are some billboards in Jackson, it was not immediately known when they were erected, who owns them, whether they were grandfathered in before the regulations were adopted.

The Jackson Times asked municipal attorney Jean Cipriani about the code.

“It is correct that billboards are not currently permitted. This is the section that the governing body will be considering changing once our memorandum regarding same is received,” she wrote.

There was a 120-day moratorium on billboards throughout the state in 2003, but NJ Department of Transportation official Daniel Triana told The Jackson Times there is no moratorium today.

“The New Jersey Department of Transportation does not have a moratorium or bans on billboards along state highways.

There are some continuing historical restrictions along a few state highways (i.e the Garden State Parkway) and scenic byways such as the Pine Lands, and the Palisades Scenic Byway,” Triana said.

“The Depar tment issues conditional permits once an application meets established state regulations. Regulations ensure among other things, that a proposed billboard would not encroach on restricted areas because of proximity to intersections, ramps or interchanges.

After receiving a conditional state permit from the Office of Outdoor Advertising Services (OOAS), a requester is required to obtain municipal approval.

Both state and municipal approval is needed.”

There are no billboards on Route 195 between Jackson and Wall Townships.

There are a few billboards in town, such as one on County Road 526 between Jackson Mills Road and Route 527. Township zoning officer Jeffrey Purpuro said his office doesn’t keep a list of billboards in town. The township,

Seve r a l p e ople i nt e r v iewe d s a id the topic of billboards in town was discussed at least a decade ago if not longer, and the idea was scrapped then because there was no way to control the content of the billboards.

“Years ago we had a different council. We had tried to move forward on billboards again. Three members of the council had put up placards of what they considered risqué ads, so that was their reasoning to kill it,” Egan said. “No one is saying to have things that are offensive…I’m sure we can find tastefully crafted ads that won’t offend anyone.”

Council vice president Kenneth Bressi told The Jackson Times that he is neither for or against billboards at this point.

He wants to study the issue more to evaluate the financial and other impacts of having billboards in town.

“It’s the offensiveness to other people.

You have them on 195, fine. You have to watch where you put them in town, because people don’t want to look out of their house and see a billboard. The other thing is, you cannot stop someone from writing what they want on it if they paid for it. So you can be exposed to some pretty nasty stuff.”

Egan stressed that he wants to see them on the highway only, not scattered throughout the township.

Bressi brought up other concer ns, including the maintenance of the billboards and where the township actually owns land on that corridor. Any other landowners in the right-of-way to township land is likely entitled to some of those billboard profits.

“It’s a clean economic boost because it requires no police, no fire, no children in schools, no sanitation. It stares at you on the highway and produces revenue,” Egan said. “How bad can it be?”

Featured Letter Sideline Protests Inappropriate I am calling on Commissioner Goodell to take action to put an end to these appalling protests that dishonor our country and those who lost their lives in service.

I find it especially shocking that, while these players are contractually forbidden to engage in certain behaviors or habits while employed by the NFL, the league turns a blind eye to the brazen disrespect of our flag and those who have given their lives for our freedom.

These protests are absolutely reprehensible and show a despicable, self-centered disregard for the sacrifices of our servicemen and women who

have fought and, too often, have selflessly given their lives for the very right quarterback Colin Kaepernick and others exercised so inappropriately.

I am hopeful you will agree that the protests of NFL athletes during the national anthem are ill-advised and entirely inappropriate.”

During this time, when we mark the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, we are reminded of how important it is to stand united and commemorate those who have lost their lives in service, rather than take a knee divided.

Jesus Is The Reason For The Season I read your editorial about all the good things of this season.

The gatherings of friends and families, the charity events, Santa Claus, the festive decorations, the Christmas trees, etc., etc.

But there is one thing you left out. The reason for all this is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

If he had not been born there would be no Christmas and no holiday season to celebrate.

Merry Christmas.

Bill Neveroski Toms River

Christ Out Of Christmas Is Still OK This month I mentioned to a neighbor how much I enjoy the holiday season.

“Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Christ. You’re a nonbeliever. What’s there for you to celebrate,” he said.

“People have been celebrating this seasonal holiday long before Christ was ever heard of,”

I explained.

“That’s just liberal propaganda,” he replied. “What did those heathens know anyway; praying to invisible gods, gaudily dressed priests, lighting all those ridiculous candles, burning incense, and their absurd songs.

It’s just so embarrassing to think anyone could believe such nonsense. They were a disgrace to the human race,” he continued.

“Well, I hadn’t quite thought about it in those terms,” I said.

As he started to leave I asked, “What’s your hurry?”

“I’m off to Christmas services.

And you should see Father, all dressed up in his brightly colored robes, candles all aglow, incense burning and all the songs – it’s all so impressive,” he advised me.

“Don’t forget to say a prayer for those dumb misguided nonbelievers who have the origins of the holiday season all mixed up,” I said.

“Don’t worry, I won’t,” he assured me.

For many nonbelievers who celebrate the holidays, the things that are most important are not about religious mysticism, ostentatious rituals and displays, but about spending time with family (especially the children) and friends; with charity for those in need. All have nothing to do necessarily with religion, and everything to do with filling your heart and your home, and the hearts and homes of others with sunshine.

Happy Holidays!

supper, then opened our gift and later had dessert.

One year we were just tidying up after supper when the doorbell rang. Someone said, “It’s for you, Mom – carolers.” I hate to admit this but I don’t like carolers. I feel stupid standing there while people sing in your face.

But when I opened the door I was amazed to see just one lone caroler, a boy at that, maybe 13 years old. He sang and I thanked him and asked if he wanted something to eat or drink, or even to use the bathroom. He said he would like a drink.

When I went to get it those in the living room reached in their pockets for a few dollars and asked him where he lived and if he wanted a ride home as it was late. He said he lived in the apartments nearby, a complex often occupied by single parents. He drank his soda and said goodbye. My children debated whether he was out to make money or if he needed the money – though he was wearing an expensive jacket.

But in my heart I shall always like to think we were visited by the Christ Child – and we took him in, offering food and shelter – isn’t that why we put candles in the windows?

P.S. None of our neighbors had our visitor.

NJ Needs Demographically Sensitive, Single State-Wide Police Force It is clear our current system of policing is broken beyond repair.

New Jersey (called Lenapehoking by the Lenape people) should work to create a new style of policing: Culturally-aware Civilian Representative Policing or CCRP. Under my concept, New Jersey would create a single state-wide police force with five main divisions: traffic safety, crime reduction, ombudsman, community relations, and victim support.

The demographics of officers hired (i.e. race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) would be required to be consistent with the demographics of the state.

The new agency would be called the Nutiket Witschindin, the Lenape words for watchperson and one who assists, embracing our state’s native cultural heritage and a community caretaker role. Officers would be given

the title of Witawematpanni, the Lenape word for Assistant. Most would not carry a gun.

In order to fight corruption, officers would be regularly relocated to different local areas and conduct operations with officers they never previously met. This would remove the cozy relationship that bolsters the blue wall of silence, which can be compared only with the Italian mafia concept of “omerta.”

Social workers and psychologists would also be given hiring preference and put into management roles, to help reduce crime and build stronger communities.

Assistance to people would be prioritized above arrests made.

PBA and FOP union member cards given to friends and family of police officers as a “get out-ofjail free card” would be considered illegal bribery of a public official and corruption. Display of union shields in a window of a car would be considered impersonation of a police officer, and require the car be impounded.

Persons found to be using hard drugs or engaging in street prostitution would not face a criminal arrest, but could be invited to the station to meet with a social worker who would offer an addiction assessment, rehabilitation referrals, a hot meal, clean needles, a shower, clean clothes, rapid HIV/AIDS testing and condoms.

Police salaries would be limited to the average median income in the state, and the broken police disability system would be scrapped, to prevent abuses. Any items seized as proceeds of crime would be required to be donated to charity, instead of being added to departmental budgets.

Our current system of unfair policing has failed poor, minority, and even middle class communities. Because of this, myself and many other people do not view them as having any legitimacy and thus refuse to cooperate with them, as well as actively resist their presence. The police act as a militarized force, occupying our communities without consent of the governed, and the taxpayer is spending a hefty sum to keep them on payroll.

As a minister of religion, I have provided spiritual counseling to many harmed by police abuse and misconduct. People are scared and unhappy with the status quo. We need these radical changes I have proposed to make policing equitable, effective, accountable, and respectable in the Garden State.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

From The Desk Of Congressman Chris Smith: Smith Announces $450K in Nat. Science Foundation Grants For Two Small Businesses

Congressman Chris Smith FREEHOLD – The National Science Foundation recently announced two $225,000 awards to small businesses in his district, which promise to help improve the way American students learn.

Small Factory Innovations in Fair Haven and Mgenuity in Lincroft were awarded NSF Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase 1 grants.

“The SBIR program aims to help t u r n scient if ic d iscove r ies i nto be ne f its for society and the economy by kick-starting private sector companies and their technological innovations,” said Smith, a staunch supporter of the SBIR grant. “The SBIR program helps create incentive and opportunity for st a r t ups a nd small businesses pursuing scientific research and development.” Funded through t h e C o n s ol id a t e d A p propriations Act of 2016 ( P u bl ic L aw 114 -113), SBIR is authorized by the SBIR /STTR Reauthorization Act of 2011 (Pub-

lic Law 112-81). Smith supported both laws. He praised both companies for their hard work and entrepreneurial initiative. “ Mge nu it y ce r t a i n ly aspires for the aims of the SBIR program, and its prospects to foster a new approach to educating students in the math and sciences is bold and ambitious,“ Smith said.

“Mgenuity’s lofty goals seems nothing less than to transform the scientific lear ning experience for st udents into an unforgettable experience using dazzling holographic imagery to bring about both greater interest and understanding in the sciences in America’s schools.”

“Small Factory Innovations is a very worthwhile project to advance social skills training software t h at ca n be of help t o children and adults with autism by using browsers and vir t ual reality,” said Smith, founder and co-chairman of the Ho u s e a u t i s m c a u c u s .

“I have worked with the aut ism com mu n it y for m a ny ye a r s , a nd h ave high hopes it will yield benefits for children and adults with autism, and their families.”

T he g r a nt for Sm a l l Fa c t o r y I n n ov a t i o n s was awarded to develop groundbreaking computer software to improve educational techniques for students with autism and other special needs students across the county.

T he proje ct w i l l explore integrating virtual reality into social skills t raining. The resulting software is expected to be commercially marketable, and sufficiently f lexible for use in speech therapy, bullying awareness, foreign languages, lifeskills training, job training and socially-conscious role playing. It aims to combi ne proven social skills training techniques and curriculum with animation and game-based learning. Software is currently limited to personal computer and has been t est ed w it h successf u l results. The project now seeks to develop a browser-based ver sion i n a n effort to become device agnostic and more available.

In his application, Small Factory Innovations owner Ch r is D udick noted the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder births, as reported by the Cen-

ter for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has skyrocketed in recent years by 110 percent from 1 in 150 to 1 in 68 births in the past decade. “In New Jersey, the ratio is the highest in the CDC study at 1 in 41 children,” Smith said.

“Our project will develop a software that teaches social skills to children and young adults on the autistic spectrum,” Dudick said. “We will have a browser-based and virtual reality component. Our prototype has been successful and is currently selling in school districts across New Jersey. This grant will enable us to scale the product and company and in turn help the lives of these st udents who are dealing with the struggles of autism.”

The grant awarded to Mge nu it y C or p or at ion will enable students to understand complex scientific concepts by viewing them in 3D, helping them to see them visually. The company says the grant will fund one of the first projects that will develop holographic applications specif ically for science education. The final result of the project will be a

Freeholder Forum

set of mixed-reality holographic 3D applications that lets students explore and understand scientific concepts and phenomena.

Intelligent avatars will g uide st udents th rough thought-provok i ng scientific explorations and continuously assess their lea r n i ng. St udents ca n interact with the avatar in natural ways: by manipulating objects in the vir t ual environ ment or by clicking buttons and constructing sentences. In teacher-guided mode the avatar can be turned off and the teacher can lead the exploration.

“If you don’t quite understand why ocean tides happen ever y six hours or so, you are not alone,” said Dr. Attila Medl, the CEO of Mgenuity, a small e d u c a t i o n t e c h n ol o g y company of about seven software and education experts, which hopes to grow with this grant. He said that many key concepts in science are dynamic by nature and simply cannot be understood from the static pages of a textbook.

Mgenuity uses its ScienceBrainius technology to create holographic 3D to teach science concepts in ways they were never taught

before. He foresees students wearing holographic headsets touching giant red blood cells that float around in the science classroom just like they do in the blood stream. Students can grab any one of the cells and examine how the cells pick up and release oxygen, and why breathing in carbon monoxide is so dangerous. A talking expert avatar assists them in their explorations. Or they can dive into the unimaginably hot core of a star and experience thermonuclear fusion in front of their eyes. Holographic 3D could potentially transform science education.

“Mgenuity hopes to bring these unparalleled experiences to science classrooms in New Jersey and across the nation,” Dr. Medl added.

NSF’s SBIR grants dispersed high-risk technological innovations using research and development grants to small businesses and startups. Some wellknown examples of NSF SBIR-funded companies include Symantec, which is now a global leader in cybersecurity, and Qualcomm, a world leader in wireless communications technology.

December Is National Safe Toys And Gifts Month

OCEA N COU NT Y – Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health, reminds parents and those buying toys for little ones to remember that December is National Safe Toys and Gifts Month and safety should be the priority when choosing gifts…for anyone.

Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator, offers safety tips to keep in mind during this holiday season: Balloons – children can choke or suffocate on deflated or broken balloons. Keep deflated balloons away from children younger than eight years old. Discard broken

balloons immediately.

Small balls and other toys with small parts – for children younger than age three, avoid toys with small parts, which can cause choking.

Scooters and other riding toys – riding toys, skateboards and in-line skates go fast, and falls could be deadly. Helmets and safety gear should be worn properly at

all times and they should be sized to fit.

Magnets – high-powered magnet sets are dangerous and should be kept away from children. Whether marketed for children or adults, building and play sets with small magnets should also be kept away from small children.

Regenye said, “Once gifts

are open, it’s important to discard plastic wrapping or other toy packaging before the wrapping and packaging become dangerous play things. Make sure you keep the toys for the older children away from younger siblings. As many toys need batteries, battery installation or charging should be supervised by adults.

Freeholder Gerry P. Little Chargers and adapters can pose thermal burn hazards to children. Make sure you read the instructions and warnings on chargers before using.”

PLUMSTED – More than 100 township residents rang in the holiday season at the community’s annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony on December 3 at the Plumsted Municipal Building on Evergreen Road.

Parents and children were decorated the tree with ornaments they brought prior to the tree’s illumination. The tree was donated by Big Woods Nursery and Garden Center.

Township Mayor Jack A. Trotta greeted everyone and thanked those responsible for organizing and participating in the program. “I want to ask you to remember those that are hurting, especially those in our very own community.”

The mayor noted those in need during his opening remarks, “As you know the Cantos family recently lost their home in a fire. There are those that are hungry and also those that are facing other hardships such as a major sickness. It is heartwarming to see everyone come together to help others in times of adversity,” Trotta said.

Santa Claus traded his sleigh and flying reindeer for a ride to his destination on a New Egypt Volunteer Fire Company fire engine. Red Barn Antiques loaned out a special chair for Santa to sit in. He received some assistance from elf volunteers in the form of township students and New Egypt Main Street Committee members.

Children were able to have their photos taken with Kris Kringle for free during

the program. Members of the local Girl Scouts and Brownies of sang holiday carols and provided cookies they had baked for the occasion. Hot chocolate provided by the Plumsted Municipal Alliance was also enjoyed after the lighting of the tree.

Nonperishable food items were collected in bins within the lobby of the Town Hall as part of the Plumsted Business Merchants Association’s food collection program.

“The members of the PBMA are very generous throughout the year and I encourage everyone to shop locally because without our local businesses, events like this one and our annual fireworks could not occur,” Trotta said. The PBMA is also sponsoring the snowflake displays on Main Street as part of the annual holiday tour of the business district which started on December 5 and will continue until January 3.

Judges for from Plumsted Township Council for the Arts, who held the Seventh Annual Gingerbread House contest, found it a difficult task as there were many eye catching and edible entries this year.

The winners of the three category contest included, Hailey Kramer, 8, who won the 8 to 12 year-old category, Kara Johnson and Amanda Newman won the best group category while Shaunna O’Brien won the adult category for her entry called “Holiday Camper.” Each winner received a gift card to Michael’s craft store.

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

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

I Woke Up And I Cannot Hear

NEW YOGA STUDIO NOW OPEN IN HOWELL!

Sudden hearing loss occurs so quickly – literally overnight or in an instant – that the change in hearing is dramatic and can be very upsetting. A sudden hearing loss can involve any part of the hearing system and something as straight forward as earwax can cause a sudden hearing loss. However, the term usually refers to a sudden “nerve” or sensorineural hearing loss. The loss is almost always in one ear and may be accompanied by dizziness, tinnitus (ear noises), and/or aural fullness/ pressure.

Suspected causes of sudden sensorineural hearing loss include viral infection, ototoxic medications, acoustic trauma and meningitis. In most cases, the specific cause is never found (idiopathic). In cases with no known cause, viral infections or vascular blockage is suspected. There may be a history of a recent flu or cold, but in most cases, there are no other complaints. Partial or complete recovery

occurs in about 60-65 percent of the cases.

Recovery can take anywhere from a few days to a few months.

Those who seek immediate medical attention (within a week) have a higher recovery rate than those who wait. The recovery rate is also higher for those with milder hearing losses. Patients who present with a severe and/or profound hearing loss with accompanying symptoms such as dizziness and/or tinnitus are less likely to recover their hearing. Someone who experiences sudden hearing loss should seek medical attention immediately so that medical treatment can be provided.

The medical evaluation usually involves a thorough history, otologic and audiologic examination.

Remember, a sudden loss of hearing is not normal. Therefore, do not hesitate to contact your primary care physician or ear, nose and throat physician for immediate medical treatment.

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.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Our House Was Our Castle And Our Keep

Dear Joel My wife and I are both retired. I am writing because she may see this and realize that it’s her that I am referring to. Our house is filthy and disgusting. I can no longer look in the refrigerator.

Our stove hasn’t been cleaned in months and the bathroom equally as dirty. Any suggestions as to how to change her?

Answer: My suggestion is (as always) stop trying to change her and work on yourself. I see nothing in your letter that makes me feel that you are incapable of doing some housework. Too often people can help

situations but fi nd it easier to blame others. Perhaps if your wife sees that you care enough to do the cleaning, she will follow suit.

If my suggestion doesn’t fit, many people hire people to do the cleaning for them. If that is all that’s wrong in your home, consider yourself lucky. It’s not a heavy lift.

O’Scanlon Introduces Driver’s License Renewal Bill TRENTON – Assemblyman Declan O’Scanlon int roduced legislation to reduce Motor Veh icle Com m ission wait times by changing when drivers renew thei r license. Under the bill (A4227), basic and commercial driver’s licenses and non-driver identification cards would expire on the applicant’s birthday every four years.

“This makes the whole process easier,” said O’Scanlon (R-Monmouth). “ T h e M VC i s r a r e l y a q u i c k a n d pleasant experience for drivers. This

legislation should reduce the amount of people at a MVC to renew their licenses and expedite the process.”

In August, Governor Christie proposed making this change to decrease the wait lines at motor vehicle commission agencies after the MVC requested the change. The bill even takes into account those who were born on February 29, a leap year. Those who were born on that date will have their licenses renewed on February 28 every four years.

Such events, they said, bring back memories of Christmas past and hopes for Christmases to come.

“They offer a sense of peace and hope,” said Mary Gualandir, a member of Toms River Presbyterian Church for 25 years who said she could not recall missing a Christmas concert there.

During the intermission at the Christmas Joy concert at Toms River Presbyterian, where upwards of 350 people shared “Christmas Joy” with the choir, she spoke of the comfort the music brings to the soul and the dedication the all volunteer choir brings to preparing for the event.

By its very nature, she said, the concert helps “prepare for the heart of Christmas and they work very hard to do it.”

Celeste Evans spoke of how she finds time to attend as many concerts as possible at churches throughout the Advent and Christmas seasons and during the rest of the year as well.

“The music,” she said, “definitely fills the soul. It enhances the season.”

Evans, a Toms River resident, attends New Life Church of Toms River. And like many music lovers who make annual spring and Christmas concerts hosted by houses of worship mainstays of their musical calenders, she spoke of what she finds appealing about this ecumencial approach.

The sense of welcome elevates the concerts in a very appealing way, said Evans, who noted that she finds the same quality at America’s Keswick, a Christian retreat and conference center, located in Whiting.

Keswick has many concerts open to the general public and Evans said the finds the hymn sings, where she can add her own voice to the Community Choir, especially appealing. Singing along with people from all over Ocean County and beyond who enjoy raising their voice in spiritual music is a wonderful experience, she said.

At Christmas time, that experience is magnified and then some at America’s Keswick said Ruth Schmidt, administrative assistant there.

The musical sounds of the season began drawing people as early as November 26 when the 125 voice choir of local people such as Evans, offered their annual Christmas Concert, Schmidt said. The audience attending Family Owned & Operated

consisted largely of area residents but also a wide representation of “folks from Philadelphia and Lancaster,” who are drawn by music in keeping with the religious tradition of the season and the sense of community the events reflect.

The community sense of many of the offerings is a very special quality, she said.

And indeed, that sense of community, in one way or the other, is a key attraction for many who seek the concerts out, said Polly Moore, director of the Island Singers, who rehearse in the Village Lutheran Church, Lanoka Harbor.

Among the holiday concerts the group offered this year was a December 10 performance at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Beachwood.

It was there, precisely a year before, that Toms River resident Pat Croisier heard the group for the first time and decided the community spirit she experienced during it was something she’d like to tap into.

“I wasn’t expecting that kind of an outcome at all,” Croisier said as she looked forward to returning to the church, this time as a member of the chorus.

When the group rehearsed at St. Paul before this year’s concert, she savored the fact that “last year I was facing the singers and this year, I’ll be facing the audience.”

Since a very positive experience singing in her high school chorus years ago, Croisier said she has always had a warm spot in her heart for the sense of community experienced in such singing groups. “I love the fact that we go out into community. That next weekend, for instance, we will be going out to hospitals to sing carols. … It’s a lovely experience.”

For Emil Guadagno and Friends, who have been performing concerts as an ensemble for three years, the Christmas concerts also reflect a strong sense of community as they strive to reach out to singles s of all ages who may be feeling alone and apart during what is for so many, a happy time.

For the group’s December 17 performance, he hoped the Gospel message will come through loud and strong that they are loved “more than they can imagine,” said Guadagno whose daughter, Chelsea, is among the singers.

“I think this time of year is very happy for some and very sad and lonely for others. I’ve prayed a lot about the concert,” he said.

His prayer is that it will enable people to come together to celebrate with each other even though they are experiencing tough times.

The students practice what they learn

SUDOKU

I’m not sure if it derives out of shame, fear or just plain laziness, but as experienced trial attorneys we regularly see situations where a patient’s complained of pain following an obvious injury yet the complaint(s) was ignored by the facility.

A recent horrific example of ignored patient complaints came from our peaceful neighbors to the North.

There was a reported case of a woman at a Canadian nursing home who went 24 days without so much as an x-ray of her leg after she fell from her wheelchair and screamed in pain.

Finally, after 24 days of pleas from the patient’s daughter and significant discoloration of the leg, the facility ordered an X-ray of the woman’s leg, which demonstrated that her tibia was indeed broken.

Situations such as this should never occur in any patient. In fact, in the states, such occurrences of uncontrolled pain are not only inexcusable, but they are against the law!

Nursing homes have an obligation to provide pain relieving measures to their patients. While certain medical conditions such as broken bones and bruising may be obvious indicators that a patient was injured, nursing home staff must also be diligent to look for signs of distress in patients with less visible condition that require

pain relief.

With disabled nursing homes patients, staff should take note of patient’s facial expressions, involuntary motor actions, moans and changes in behavior as potential indicators that the patient may indeed be suffering. After noticing these signs, the staff should timely contact the patient’s physician as well as the patient’s family.

The recognition of a patient’s pain and subsequent pain relief is required pursuant to Federal Regulation of nursing homes. F-Tag 309 (Quality of Care) requires nursing homes to provide ‘necessary care and services to attain or maintain the highest practical physical, mental and psychological wellbeing, in accordance with the comprehensive assessment and plan of care.

Despite some ambiguity as to the significance of “highest level of practicable care” really means, the interpretive guidelines to F-Tag 309 provide more specific guidance for providing pain relief and unquestionably require nursing homes to both monitor patients and provide them with sufficient pain relieving measures.

If you are concerned about a loved one who you suspect is being abused in a nursing home, call the attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates to discuss the patient’s legal rights.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of dECEMBER 24-December 31.

By Jeraldine Saunders

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be overindulgent with loved ones and friends as this week unfolds. The worst that can be said is that you may yield and compromise when it is not in your best interests to do so.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The princess and the pea had a love hate relationship. You may be overly sensitive to irritations when the ones who love you best are doing everything in their power to treat you well this week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Lighten up. Plug in a Christmas tree or turn on the porch light. Your seriousness can be a turnoff when faced with duty and responsibility in the week to come. Focus on the future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are what you think. If you let negativity creep in or react badly to criticism you may attract negativity into your life. Don’t waste time and energy on unpleasant issues this week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Money walks when impulse talks. Control your desire to make rash purchases in the week ahead. If you keep an eye on the future past transgressions won’t impact your wallet as much.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Read the tea leaves. You may need to work harder and receive less appreciation than usual this week. Focus on fulfilling obligations and protect your reputation from unnecessary criticism.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may go to extremes of behavior in the week ahead, but it is all for a good cause. Your social circle will expand exponentially if you participate in community activities and outings.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Bad news travels fast, but it isn’t likely to put you at a disadvantage as this week unfolds.

You might easily make some imaginative and shrewd business or financial decisions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your mind is a tool that you can use any way that you wish. Pry out some information or hammer out some details in the week to come. Avoid misunderstandings with loved ones and co-workers.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Trust, once lost, is seldom regained. Communicate clearly to maintain the trust of friends and partners in the week ahead. Prevent caution from turning into fear by being honest and forthright.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Look for the silver lining. Throughout the week to come you may have numerous opportunities to create something good out of something that, on the exterior, is somewhat upsetting.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Common sense is a flower that doesn’t grow in everyone’s garden. Luckily, you have a watering can nearby or other tools to nurture smart thinking. Be a smart cookie in the week ahead.

Give A Gift Of Cookies All Season Long

By Wolfgang Puck

I recently shared some memories centered on my love baking holiday cookies, along with an easy recipe for peanut butter cookies. But, from early childhood, I learned one very important rule on this subject from my mother and grandmother: One kind of cookie alone is never enough at the holidays.

That’s why, to get all of your baking done before the arrival of Christmas and Hanukkah, I would like to offer another delicious, easy-to-make cookie recipe. This one also fulfills another i mpor t ant requi rement of holid ay sweet offerings, in that it features rich chocolate f lavor.

I love to include some chocolate among the treats I prepare for the festive season. It is, after all, my favorite sweet f lavor. And these little cookies deliver big, intense hits of chocolate, f lavored as they are not only with cocoa powder but also bittersweet chocolate. Be sure to use a good-quality chocolate, including European brands like Valrhona from France or Callebaut from Belgium; a premium American make like Scharffen Berger; or one of the many other boutique labels you can find today in gourmet markets and specialty food shops.

The cookie dough itself is easy to mix, especially if you have a stand mixer.

But you could also put it together with a good, sturdy hand-held electric mixer.

Chilling the dough after you form it into balls is essential to help you get the firm yet crumbly texture that I like so much about these cookies.

Another big par t of the cookies’ appeal is the thumbprint in each one.

Children love to help shape them, too.

Just before you serve the cookies is the time to fill those indentations with jam. (Any sooner, and the moisture in the jam could turn the cookies soggy.)

I like to use raspberry jam, but any other f lavor that you think goes with chocolate - apricot, cherr y, orange marmalade - would also make an excellent choice.

If you want extra-chocolaty cookies, fill them with chocolate ganache instead of the jam. Just put 3/4 pound (375 g) of chopped bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl, pour 1 cup (250 mL) of hot heavy cream over the chocolate, let it rest for a couple of minutes, and then whisk until smooth and shiny. Let the ganache cool slightly before filling the cookies. (Or use your favorite jar of chocolate-nut spread from the supermarket instead.)

Pack airtight tins with an assortment of these cookies, along with any other home-baked cookies you like, and you’ll have holiday gifts well worth giving and happily received!

BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY THUMBPRINT COOKIES Makes about 6 dozen 3 cups (750 mL) plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/4 cup (60 mL) unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 4 ounces (125 g) bittersweet chocolate, cut into small pieces 3/4 pound (375 g) unsalted butter (3 sticks), at room temperature, cut into small pieces 1 1/3 cups (330 mL) confectioners’ sugar, sifted 2 large cage-free egg yolks Raspberry jam Line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Into a mixing bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Set aside.

In a small heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt the chocolate pieces. When almost melted, turn off the heat and leave it to melt completely, stirring occasionally.

In the large bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle or beaters, beat together the butter and confectioners’ sugar, starting on low speed until the sugar is fully incorporated. Then turn the speed to high and continuing to beat until the mixture turns very fluffy and white, about 5 minutes.

Stop the machine occasionally, as needed, and scrape down the sides of the bowl and under the beaters with a rubber spatula, to ensure even blending.

On medium speed, add the egg yolks one at a time, beating just until combined. Add the melted chocolate and mix well on medium speed. Reduce the speed to low and slowly pour in the sifted ingredients, beating just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

Remove the bowl from the mixer. With clean hands, form the dough into small balls about 1 generous tablespoon each.

Place each ball on the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart, then gently press a thumb into each ball to make a deep indentation in the center.

Cover loosely with parchment paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or as long as overnight to help keep the indentations intact.

Before baking, position the oven rack in the center. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C).

Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheet or sheets back to front halfway through. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. If using only one baking sheet, leave it to cool before putting more cookies on it.

When the cookies have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container until ready to serve, layering them between sheets of waxed paper or parchment paper. Before serving, use a teaspoon to fill the indentations with a little raspberry jam.
