Testing Urged For 50 Private Wells In Jackson

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – No private wells in Jackson Township thus far have been found with dangerous levels of two pollutants, a Joint Base Mag ui re-Dix-Lakehurst official told The Jackson Times.

The Department of the Air Force sent out water testing kits to about 200 residences across multiple towns around the base with private wells late last

year. Tech Sergeant Ch r istopher Powell did not have specifics when he spoke with The Jackson Times, but said in a published interview with NJ.com on January 24 that out of the 200 kits distributed throughout Jackson and Manchester townships in Ocean County, and Pemberton and New Hanover townships in Bu rlington Count y, only 40 had been returned.

The Air Force only tested wells that surrounded the perimeter of the base. Powell said they will not be testing any wells outside that perimeter.

Jackson officials said JBMDL hand delivered about 50 water testing kits to residences on the southeaster n side of town where the homes border the base.

Powell could not say at press time how many samples delivered back

were from Jackson residents.

Testing began last summer, with validated results available in October.

“We have certain areas within those towns, mainly small areas bordering the base, we determined we wanted to sample in those areas,” Powell said.

“We’ve already contacted those residents, delivered ground water (Wells - See Page 5)

AFTER LOCAL MEGAN’S LAW CASE, OFFICIALS URGE REFORM

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – An accused sexual offender allegedly re-offended in the township, police said, and due to failures in Megan’s Law and bail reform, he

is back on the streets.

Police Chief Richard Buzby said shortcomings with Megan’s Law meant the neighborhood could not be notified. So, he instead told residents using the

only public notification left available to him: the Little Egg Harbor Police Facebook page.

“How can I look these people in the face and not give them the basic information to keep

them safe?” he said.

Megan’s Law was created to notify neighbors when a known sex offender moves into an area. They are assigned a tier rating based on (Reform - See Page 4)

Survey Looks For Sandy Problems And Solutions

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – As par t of a recent survey, 71 percent of people affected by Superstorm Sandy stated that they are suffering from increased physical or mental health issues that are directly related to the storm.

This is a snapshot of an incomplete survey called the Sandy Truth Project. It is being used to understand more clearly the issues that are still affecting survivors more than four years later. And it needs your voice.

The survey is online at newjerseyop.org/sandy-truth-project.html.

The group behind it, the New Jersey Organizing Project, is an advocacy group that started two years after

4+ YEARS

LATER Sandy with the goal of making sure that people were getting the help they needed, said its director, Amanda Devecka-Rinear. Now, four years and four months after the storm, there are still people affected in unprecedented ways.

“Sandy recovery is failing,” she said. “Where are we in recovery? Are we prepared for future storms?”

They are looking for transparency in how aid for Sandy is allocated.

How much of the money went to consulting firms rather than residents, for example.

Currently, they are (Sandy - See Page 18)

Reform:

Continued From Page 1 their likelihood of re-offending. Tier 3 are most likely to re-offend. Tier 1 are least likely. Then, the neighborhood is notified if needed.

However, the suspect has appealed his tier rating, so police were not able to notify the neighborhood when he moved in, police said. Then, he allegedly re-offended at the end of 2016. He was arrested and charged. The prosecutor’s office attempted to keep him in jail. Due to the new bail reform, he was not assigned bail. He was free to go on January 25. The prosecutor has appealed the decision, and applied for an emergency consideration of bail.

The state Supreme Court told him to go through the appeal process as normal.

However, it could take months to go through an appeal.

“The judge in this case placed the defendant on house arrest until trial and he is being monitored by an electronic bracelet that will alert the court if he steps outside his home. The prosecution appealed that decision and the Appellate Court will review the decision shortly,” said Pete McAleer, spokesman for the Administrative Office of the Courts.

Police were not able to legally release the exact details of the case, only that this man lives near families, school bus stops and places where children would frequent.

However, until a tier can be established, no notifications can be made.

“It was bad enough when there were

offenders in the community that did not re-offend. Now, apparently, we have re-offenders and bail reform has cut them loose,” Buzby said. “People think they’re protected, but they’re not.”

People are under a false sense of security believing that Megan’s Law will do its job, but chiefs have been pushing for reform for years, he said. Additionally, the bail reform that was instituted this year somehow rated him as a low threat.

“The reforms might have benefits, but the implementation was not thought out,” he said. “It is erasing protections that vulnerable groups have come to rely on.”

He warned parents to be careful regarding their children’s whereabouts.

“If the police chief and the prosecutor can’t fight for these kids, who can?” he said. “With all due respect, this can’t be right.”

Changing Megan’s Law There is one major flaw with Megan’s Law, officials said. A suspect is put on a tier after they are released. Therefore, they can potentially re-offend before local police can even warn residents that the offender is in their neighborhood. This is because the offender’s residency is a factor in what tier they are placed.

“It gives residents nothing in terms of protection while we wait. It’s been an utter failure for that reason,” Buzby said.

Years ago, legislation was introduced to change this. It was originally started by the late Sen. Leonard Connors (R-9th), but is now promoted by his son, Sen. Christopher Connors (R-9th). The bill

would assign offenders a tier before they are released.

“Unfortunately, the bill does not get any traction,” Chris Connors said. There is a companion bill in the state assembly that is also stalled. The bill is in the law and public safety committee on the senate side (S-253), and the judiciary committee on the assembly side (A-1142).

If there is a silver lining to this cloud, it is that this incident might give lawmakers the push they need to pass the bill, he said.

Sometimes, a tragedy can show why a law is needed. The comparison he used was a bill that allowed security personnel at nuclear facilities to have automatic weapons. Prior to the bill being passed, they were only allowed to have hand guns with relatively low amounts of bullets.

After the attacks on September 11, 2001, the bill passed.

“I fear that this bill follows the same path. Something heinous will happen and it’ll be the best idea and it’s been there the whole time,” he said.

He said he will continue to push for support of this bill with his fellow legislators and with the governor, so that it can be signed when it comes to his desk.

A spokesman with the governor’s office said that they would never comment on legislation until the final bill is on the governor’s desk and they’ve had time to review it.

Notifying on Facebook People share all kinds of things on Facebook, but it was unusual for the police to warn residents in this manner.

Buzby said he would be allowed to notify people via Facebook because of a provision of Megan’s Law titled “2C:7-10 Notification concerning other dangerous circumstances unaffected.” This brief provision reads the following: “Nothing in this act shall be construed to prevent law enforcement officers from providing community notification concerning any person who poses a danger under circumstances that are not provided for in this act.”

He said the response to his post has been surprising. There were thousands of shares and reactions, and quite a bit of comments.

“I wanted to get it into the hands of the community but it got into the hands of the country,” he said. People from all over America have been commenting and sharing the message. “It resonated in a way I never anticipated.”

Additionally, several police chiefs from all over the state have contacted him, letting them know that they are in the same situation. “They’re trying to do the right thing but are unable to do so,” he said.

However, not all of the responses were positive. Some of them threatened the suspect. Those comments had to be deleted by the police. They have also had to have additional patrols in that neighborhood to protect the suspect, he said.

Chief Buzby “is in a predicament that he can’t warn people. So, if you can’t warn particular people in a particular place (which is what Megan’s Law would allow), then you warn everyone,” Connors said.

Billboard:

Continued From Page 1 Jackson Times she will look into statutes, regulations and case law, and she will present her findings at the next council meeting. Her advice, she said, will stick with the legal, not policy, issues.

She will also research leasing fees from surrounding townships that allow billboards on township property, as well as where those municipalities allow billboards in town.

One of the main questions is where would billboards be allowed.

“Where do you want them permitted?

Do you want them only on public land?

Are there cer tain roads, sections of roads,” Cipriani told council. “Absolutely we can do it, both in terms of the size, you’re familiar with traditional billboard size, keeping that in mind if you want to keep that size. You’re going to need to think about where it makes sense to have them and the proximity that you would allow them to be in.”

Bressi said the council is looking to place billboards on township property only right now. They want to ensure that spot zoning won’t be an issue, that should the township own property that surrounds a privately-owned piece of land, that landowner would not have the ability to install billboards.

Wells:

Continued From Page 1 sampling to them back in December, sent out another round of sampling packages to those who did not send in package” The owners of two private wells in Manchester where there were dangerous levels of the pollutants found are being supplied with as much drinking and cooking water as needed, for as long as needed, at the military’s cost. Powell told The Jackson Times that the homes would either be fit with water fi ltration systems or be connected to city water, again, at the military’s cost.

The water is safe for showering and doing laundry, he said.

The Environmental Protection Agency has issued health advisories for perfluoroctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), both of which were found in some groundwater and wells on JBMDL. “PFOS and PFOA are a component of aqueous fi lm forming foam (AFFF), a type of fi re-fighting foam that has been used by industry and the Air Force since 1970 to extinguish petroleum fi res. The Air Force used this foam at crash sites, in fi re training areas and some maintenance hangars at active, reserve, Air National Guard and former bases,” a JBMDL press release explained. “Additionally, PFOS and PFOA are used in many industrial and consumer products such as nonstick cookware, stain-resistant fabric and carpet, some food packaging and specialized foam.”

PFOS is a key ingredient in Scotchgard

The Jackson Times, February 4, 2017, Page 5 Bressi and other council members also want to see what kind of revenue billboards could bring the township before moving forward.

“I have my own thoughts about this issue. It’s certainly a positive for the township, both f rom a revenue perspective potentially and as an economic development driver,” councilman Rob Nixon said.

He said one example could be billboards from Six Flags Great Adventure.

“Certainly as we look to the expansion off the 195 corridor, what could ultimately occur in the Six Flags area, as they continue their success hopefully in the future,” Nixon said. “I think there is some value in us proceeding.”

Back in December, resident Richard Egan approached council about allowing billboards along Route 195 on township property. It’s unclear how many lots there are and where those lots are located along that corridor.

Billboards are prohibited in the municipality, although one appears to be grandfathered in on county road 526.

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

Council will meet at 7:30 p.m. on February 14 at the municipal building, 95 W. Veterans Highway. Agendas can be found at jacksontwpnj.net/documents/ agendas/council/

and other stain repellants. According to a 2011 article in the American Journal of Epidemiology, PFOS was related to increases in chronic kidney disease.

PFOA is used in the process of making Teflon, which makes cooking surfaces nonstick and is also used a fabric protector.

According to the American Cancer Society, although coated cookware is not a significant source of PFOA, the acid can stay in the body for long periods of time.

“PFOA has the potential to be a health concern because it can stay in the environment and in the human body for long periods of time. Studies have found that it is present worldwide at very low levels in just about everyone’s blood. Higher blood levels have been found in community residents where local water supplies have been contaminated by PFOA. People exposed to PFOA in the workplace can have levels many times higher,” the ACS said. “PFOA and some similar compounds can be found at low levels in some foods, drinking water, and in household dust.

Although PFOA levels in drinking water are usually low, they can be higher in certain areas, such as near chemical plants that use PFOA.” The base has since changed over to what it calls more “environmentally sound alternatives” to PFOS and PFOA. Powell did not have a cost for remediating the soil and water on the base, or for the private wells affected.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER State BOE Should Reject Governor’s Charter School Regulations The State Board of Education should refuse to move forward with new charter school regulations being sought by the Christie administration.

Those proposed regu lat ion s, wh ich Gov. Christie began pushing after meeting with the charter lobby, are deeply f lawed.

The board should caref ully scr utinize them and refuse to consider any changes that lower standards for New Jersey’s charter schools.

The State Board’s obligation is to New Jersey’s students, not to charter school operators who are lobbying for less accountability to the taxpayers who fund their schools.

Given the number of charter schools that have had their char ters revoked or have closed for other reasons in recent years, the State Board should be looking for ways to enhance account-

ability and oversight.

It should not approve harmful changes to satisfy a lame-duck governor looking to score political points with the charter lobby on his way out the door.

New Jersey taxpayers should be outraged that Gov. Christie is working with the charter lobby in an effort to gut the regulations that make them accountable to the p e ople whose scho ol tax dollars fund their schools.

At tempted political abuses like this are why NJEA has called for a moratorium on the approval and expansion of charter schools so that the Legislature can study the impact of New Jersey’s 20-year-old charter school law and determine whether it serves and protects the interests of our students, families and communities.

Trump’s FHA Order Hurts Homeownership Dreams Whose side is the President on?

President Trump campaigned as the candidate who would stand with the forgotten American worker, but of all of the actions he could have taken on his first day in office, it’s telling that his administration has moved to instead make it more expensive for Americans to buy a home this year and beyond.

With mortgage interest rates already on the rise, reversing the FHA’s move to cut insurance premiums in fact puts the dream of homeownership farther out of reach for millions of hardworking Americans.

So-called reckless homeowners didn’t cause the housing crisis—but predatory lenders who tricked consumers into mortgages with exploding interest rates and other harmful features did. More than 7 million Americans lost their homes during the foreclosure crisis, largely because of predatory mortgages and incompetent servicing practices.

As we were reminded at Steve Mnuchin’s Senate confirmation hearing, Trump’s own Treasury secretary nominee made millions from the crash, and this action is all the proof we need to know whose side the Trump administration is on.

Mexico Should Become U.S. Territory Groups opposed to increased immigration enforcement have been galvanized by

Letters To ofThe this magnifiEditor cent building, erate income households, Donald Trump being elected President. Those protesting are upset that the days of unrestricted illegal immigration, most heavily from Mexico, may come to an end.

A system where citizens of Mexico have unrestricted access to the United States is possible, only if Mexico becomes a territory of the United States. Otherwise the U.S. cannot afford to subsidize the social welfare, healthcare, and educational needs of Mexican nationals, with dollars leaving the U.S. economy.

Like Puerto Rico, Mexico could keep Spanish locally, but English would still be the language of the Federal Government.

U.S. citizens are not allowed to own land in Mexico near the border or beach, and are forbidden from taking part in political activity in the country, let alone work. Such a situation is unfair.

When Mexico joins the U.S., we can focus on bridges, instead of walls.

Supreme Court “Gap” Ruling The New Jersey Supreme Court in a unanimous but nuanced ruling affirmed but modified the Appellate Division’s decision, which reversed a lower court’s misinterpretation of the Fair Housing Act by assigning a new and unrealistic affordable housing obligation on municipalities.

This is a complicated decision, which will be discussed and debated for months to come. But there are some readily made observations: The Supreme Court affirmed but modified the Appellate Division ruling. In doing so, the Court further expanded the Mount Laurel doctrine to include a new obligation on municipalities, which will be folded into present need. The Court wrote: “…the trial courts must employ an expanded definition of present need. The present-need analysis must include, in addition to a calculation of overcrowded and deficient housing units, an analytic component that addresses the affordable housing need of presently existing New Jersey low-and-mod-

which formed during the gap period and are entitled to their delayed opportunity to seek affordable housing.” (Page 31 of decision.)

At the same time, the Court rejected the arguments of certain housing advocates and developers to further expand the “gap” obligation and double count certain households.

The Court wrote, “The trial court must take care to ensure that the present need is not calculated in a way that includes persons who are deceased, who are income-ineligible or otherwise are no longer eligible for affordable housing, or whose households may be already captured through the historic practice of surveying for deficient housing units within the municipality.” (Page 31 of decision.)

The Court ruling, however, has added to a very complicated, process, which will require the expenditure of further resources at the local level. The court in this decision once again invited the Legislature to revisit the issue and provide necessary reforms.

The so-called “gap” period does not result from any failures of local government.

This “gap issue” arises out of COAH’s inability to promulgate third round regulations from 1999 to the present or make any final determination as to state and regional housing need, as well as constant litigation by certain groups The Fair Housing Act defines a municipal obligation to include present and prospective need, and when it has developed a plan to address both those needs, a town should be deemed compliant and allowed to proceed.

While the Supreme Court attempts to forge a middle ground, this decision is vague as to how to determine this additional present need obligation. Thus, the ruling provides little guidance and will likely result in additional property tax resources being expended. We again call upon the Administration and Legislature to craft long-overdue reforms and promulgate a reasonable, rational state housing policy.

Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer 12th Legislative District, Serving Jackson

Advanced: Dancer Initiative To Help Beginning Farmers

TRENTON – The average age of farmers in New Jersey has climbed to 59, and more farm families are opting to get out of the business and pursue more lucrative oppor tunities.

These are just a couple of the trends creating a critical need for beginning fa r mer s to assu me t he roles of food producers in

TRENTON – In defense of Israel’s sovereignty and right to defend its people and land, Assemblyman Ron Dancer has introduced legislation (AR204) critical of a United

the Garden State.

Today, a six-bill package of legislation supporting new farmers sponsored by Assemblyman Ron Dancer advanced from the Assembly agriculture committee.

“Farming is a $1 billion industry in New Jersey.

Our core farmers are getting older, and we need to incentivize new farmers,”

said Dancer (R—Ocean).

“We are one of the nation’s top producers of blueberries, peaches, cranberries, spinach and bell peppers.

To remai n compet it ive with the large commercial farm operations in other states, we have to do everything we can to help beginning farmers succeed.”

The beginning farmer

legislative package includes: a beginning farmer mentoring program; corporation business tax and income tax credits for hiring beginning farmers to perform custom farming; corporation business tax and income tax credits for leasing agricultural land to farmers; a new farmers’ improvement grant

program; economic development authority loans to help beginning farmers fi nance capital purchases; and Higher Education Student Assistance Authority loan redemption program fo r s t u d e n t s s t u d y i n g farming.

“Israel has been a loyal friend

and ally to our country for close to 70 years,” said Dancer (R—Ocean). “Our complicity by abstaining is regrettable, damages this important relationship, and jeopardizes the

security of the Jewish people.”

The United States abstained as the U.N. Security Council voted 14-0, calling for Israel to end the construction of settlements in land captured

from Jordan during the SixDay War in 1967. The U.S. could have vetoed the resolution by voting against it rather than abstaining.

House Votes 238-183 To Pass No Taxpayer Funding For Abortion Bill

The U.S. House of Representatives took a major step toward protecting the lives of millions of unborn children while also protecting their mothers by passing the bipartisan “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2017” (H.R. 7) sponsored by Rep. Chris Smith (NJ-04), a pro-life champion in the House and defender of the Hyde Amendment for over three decades. Smith spoke on the floor during

the debate.

“Two million people who would have been aborted instead survived because public funds were unavailable to effectuate their violent demise, while their mothers benefited from prenatal health care and support,” said Smith. “Two million survivors have had the opportunity to live and enjoy the first and most basic of all human rights – the right to life.”

More than 20 peer reviewed

studies indicate that over two million lives have been saved since the Hyde Amendment was introduced in 1976, according to a report from late last year by the Charlotte Lozier Institute.

“Polling consistently shows that a supermajority of Americans – 61 percent according to a Marist poll released just yesterday – oppose taxpayer funding of abortion, and 8 in 10 Americans think laws can protect both the well-being of a woman and the health

of her unborn child,” said Smith, co-chair of the Bipartisan Congressional Pro-Life Caucus.

“Growing numbers of Americans are often shocked to learn that the methods of abortion include dismemberment of a child’s fragile body including decapitation and the severing of arms and legs or the use of drugs like mifepristone that starve the child to death before forcibly expelling him or her from the safety of the womb.”

Smith also explained each provision of the bill, which would: “Make the Hyde Amendment and other current abortion funding prohibitions permanent and government wide.

Ensure that the Affordable Care Act, until repeal, conforms with the Hyde Amendment.

Until a new plan year begins, ensure full disclosure, transparency and the prominent display of the extent to

which any health insurance plan on the exchange funds abortion.”

H.R. 7 is identical to bills that passed in 2014 and 2015, both also numbered H.R. 7. Each of these bills faced the threat of a veto from then-President Obama. Today, however, the Trump Administration signaled its support by issuing a Statement of Administrative Policy affirming that, if presented with H.R. 7, President Trump would sign the bill.

Extremely Rare Lion And Tiger Cub Litter Celebrate First Birthday At Six Flags

JACKSON ─ An extremely rare litter of big cats just celebrated its first birthday at Six Flags Great Adventure. For the first time in history, the park’s animal care team is raising Siberian tiger cub Nadya and African lion cub Zuri as “sisters,” despite being species that would typically never cross paths in the wild.

“Last year, the animal care team experienced a very unusual situation. Within a week, an African lion and a Siberian tiger gave birth with a single female cub in each litter. These first-time mothers were unable to care for their newborns, so our team stepped in, feeding them up to six times a day and caring for them around the clock. To help their socialization skills, we brought these two cubs together and formed one litter,” said Dr. Ken Keiffer, a Six Flags veterinarian.

The two fuzzy cubs weighed approximately 3 lbs. at birth, and now tip the scales at 150 lbs. each. Nadya was the first tiger birth at the safari in 13 years.

Siberian tigers are endangered and rank as the largest cats in the world. Nadya is expected to reach a weight of 400 lbs.

“Love Thy Forest” Full Moon Walk

JACKSON – The NJ Forest Resource Education Center (FREC) and Jackson Pathfinders are sponsoring a Valentine-themed full moon walk on February 10 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the FREC, 495 Don Connor Blvd.

Participants can choose between a brisk hike on the moonlit trails within the forest and a slower paced naturalist-guided interpretive tour of the forest’s beautiful features. The walks will be approximately an hour in length, followed by hot chocolate and snacks at the Interpretive Center.

With Valentine’s Day just a few days after the event, join FREC staff and volunteers to share their love for a healthy forest and its wildlife.

Participants should dress for the weather.

Registration is required for the event. Call 732928-2360 and provide a name, phone number, and the number of people in the group so that participants can be contacted in case of inclement weather and cancellation.

For directions, visit state.nj.us/dep/parks andforests/forest/directions.html.

New Egypt Bible Baptist Church

NEW EGYPT – Bible Baptist Church is currently holding all Sunday Services at The Plumsted Township Municipal Building located at 121 Evergreen Road.

Service times are Sundays, 9:15 and 10:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Wednesday services are 6:30 and 7 p.m.

For more information, visit bbcnewegypt.com.

African lions are the second largest cats in the world, protected by the endangered species act, and females like Zuri are expected to reach 280 lbs.

The cats continue to play, eat and snuggle together. During their birthday celebration, they took turns devouring their custom meat cakes and exploring the presents safari caretakers wrapped with pink paper.

Although the safari staff no longer physically interacts with the cats due to their strength and natural predatory behaviors, the bond between them is still evident.

Throughout the party, the cats spent much time near the fence where their caretakers were singing and cheering, and the cubs exchanged comforting “chuffs” as communication with their team of surrogate mothers.

Guests can see the cubs on Safari Off Road Adventure in the Tigris Asiana section when the park opens April 1.

Healthy Spine, Healthy Body

By Mark R. McLaughlin, MD The spine is like the Interstate 95 of our bodies.

All of our sensations, motor skills and coordination travel through nerves in the spinal column. When those nerve connections are disrupted by injuries or wear and tear to the spine, it can cascade into a whole series of health problems as we get older.

Poor spine health limits your ability to exercise, which is necessary to help prevent osteoporosis — the weakening of bones.

Weak bones can lead to fractures in the spine, hips or other areas. Fractures can limit your ability to simply move around and enjoy life, bringing about cardiovascular problems and even, depression.

In fact, spine-related disorders are among the most frequently encountered health problems, with low-back pain affecting an estimated 80 percent of Americans at some point in their lives, according to the National Institutes of Health.

It doesn’t have to be that way. There are many things we can do every day to promote better spine health and stave off these problems.

Maintaining a Skyscraper The spine is also like a skyscraper, built with 33 blocks of interlocking bones (vertebrae), which are held together by ligaments and separated from each other by intervertebral discs. The discs act as shock absorbers between the bones.

All of these building blocks work together to protect the nerves of the spinal cord and support the body, allowing us to bend, stand up and twist. Maintaining this intricate structure starts, like all aspects of good health, with good nutrition, including: Hydration. Drinking plenty of fluids helps keep the joints in the spine well lubricated to function properly. Men should drink about 13 cups of fluids a day (from all sources, not just water) and women should strive for about nine cups, according to the Institute of Medicine.

Diet. Most people know that calcium-rich foods such a low-fat and non-fat milk, yogurt and cheese are good for bone health, but so are fish such as sardines and salmon, as well as many types of greens, including collard greens, kale and okra. On the flip side, eating too many salty foods can deprive the body of calcium and lead to bone loss.

Supplements. The gastrointestinal system is one of the most important parts of the immune system, and a healthy gut helps prevent inflammation throughout the body, including the spine. Probiotic supplements, which are healthy live bacteria, have been shown to improve gut health. Vitamin D, a vitamin that is not naturally present in many foods, has also been shown in studies to promote better health.

The Importance of Posture At the top of the spine rests a 10-pound “bowling ball,” otherwise known as the head.

Proper posture helps us balance that weight without putting too much stress on the neck muscles. (If you’ve ever had a tension headache, you know what happens when those neck muscles are strained.)

Good posture and good ergonomics also help prevent wear and tear on the spine itself. It’s no different than keeping your car in balance — if the wheels are out of balance, they will wear down more quickly.

In a time when technological devices are seemingly everywhere, some of the biggest causes of bad posture, include: Smartphones. Wear a hands-free headset when you’re making phone calls as holding the phone to one ear leads to bad posture. If you’re reading a smartphone, hold it up to eye level, so you can look straight ahead, rather than looking down.

Computers. The center of your computer screen should also be at eye level, even if you have to stack the monitor on top of books to achieve the proper height. At your desk, always try to sit up with your back straight, shoulders back and backside touching the back of your chair.

Low technology. You can even achieve better posture reading a newspaper by putting pillows under your elbows to hold it closer to eye level. Also, try to get up and move if you find yourself sitting for long periods.

When your muscles tire from sitting too long, slouching and other bad postures are more likely.

I often joke that the goal of good health is to allow us to “die young as late as possible.” A healthy spine can help ensure you live a full life, and accomplish all of the great things ahead of you.

There are countless things that can contribute to poor hearing health, from aging to loud noise, but one you may not be aware of is gender. A recent study found that the odds of hearing loss are 5.5 times greater in men than in women.

Hearing and Overall Health Age-related hearing loss affects more than 60 percent of U.S. adults older than 70 years of age, and it has been associated with increased risk of hospitalization, decreased quality of life, and increased risk of functional and cognitive decline. The onset of hearing loss is gradual, with prevalence tripling from the age of 50 years to 60 years.

Individuals who cannot understand or hear what others are saying sometimes choose to avoid social situations entirely, rather than ask others to repeat themselves — especially in situations where background noise is significant.

Cardiovascular Disease The association between cardiovascular health and hearing health has never been stronger. It’s all about blood circulation throughout the body.

The Ear, Nose, and Throat Institute believes that the link between hearing loss and cardiovascular disease is due to the inner ear’s sensitivity to circulation. The disease causes hardening of the arteries, which affects your circulation and, in turn, your hearing.

Circulatory problems have the ability to affect any number of bodily processes, particularly in the most delicate areas of the body — like the cochlea, the delicate inner-ear organ responsible for sending sound signals to the brain. Conditions that restrict blood supply to the cochlea can starve the inner ear of necessary oxygen

and permanently damage hearing.

Quit Hurting Your Hearing: Smoking We know that genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors help determine a person’s risk of hearing loss — and that includes smoking.

In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, cigarette smoking was determined to be a factor in the development of hearing loss. Current smokers are 1.69 times as likely to have a hearing loss as nonsmokers, and nonsmokers who live with a smoker are more likely to have a hearing loss than those who are not exposed to second-hand smoke.

Those who smoke a pack a day for 40 years are 1.27 times as likely to have a hearing loss as those who smoke a pack a day for 10 years.

Signs of Hearing Loss If you answer yes to some of the following questions, or can answer yes to them for someone else, it is time to see Dr. Izzy.

Do you often ask people to repeat themselves?

Is it hard to hear in groups?

Do you feel like others mumble all the time?

Do you have difficulty hearing what’s behind you (like someone talking to you or a car approaching)?

Do you turn up the volume on the TV or car radio to a level others feel is excessive?

Do you have difficulty understanding the person on the other end of the phone?

Do you find going to restaurants or parties to be exhausting and frustrating?

Don’t procrastinate and consider having a complete hearing evaluation! Dr. Izzy and his Staff can be reached at 732-818-3610 or visit gardenstatehearing.com.

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

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

You Pay The Price If Your Doctor Misdiagnosis You

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I bet you’ve been told some pretty awful stuff by your doctors over the years.

It’s not all in your head, you’re not going crazy, you may really not have depression or bipolar. You don’t have to suffer with chronic fatigue and brain fog.

I felt inspired to this today because one of my daughters shared a story with me.

She works at a clinic in Connecticut. She encountered a patient, let’s call her Beth, who came in seeking the advice of the doctor there. Beth had hallmark symptoms of hypothyroidism such as weight gain, her hair was falling out easily, she had dry skin, fatigue, neuropathy and anxiety.

Beth’s biggest concern was the anxiety which manifested as mild social phobia, a sense of despair (mainly about her declining health), and constant worry. The physician diagnosed her with hypothyroidism and gave her Levothyroxine immediately. He should have ordered a complete thyroid panel, that included levels of thyroid antibodies. He didn’t, he just handed her a prescription without getting a baseline.

Beth’s symptoms sound like autoimmune thyroid disease, particularly Hashimoto’s, which has anxiety as a primary symptom.

Again, no tests ordered.

The scariest part is he prescribed a benzodiazepine drug, alprazolam 0.25 mg to be taken up to three times daily if needed. He gave her a two month supply.

This drug will make her feel really good, she will no doubt want more and become physically dependent in 3 weeks. A trial run of thyroid medication alone could have worked, because when you normalize thyroid hormone, anxiousness stops.

Personally, he should have precribed an NDT drug that combines T3 and T4, rather than just a pure T4 drug (Levo), or even better a short trial of a pure T3 medication like Compounded T3 or Cytomel. The reason is because Levo preferentially forms reverse T3, which is not biologically active.

So now, Beth is on a track to Hell. She is not being tested for Hashimoto’s, therefore nothing will be done to reduce the attack on her thyroid gland which will die little by little. She was not offered the opportunity to improve feelings of anxiety using just thyroid medicine, and because she’s on a benzo now, she will be referred to a psychiatrist for a psyche evaluation, who will undoubtedly prescribe more psychoactive drugs that “depression” they sense when she begins crying over her awful state of affairs.

Do you relate? Do you worry something has been overlooked in your treatment. I’ve covered this topic of thyroid and anxiety very extensively in my paperback book, Thyroid Healthy, available at Amazon and my website. But since some of you can’t buy it, I’m going to give you a free gift, an excerpt from this very book. This way you can learn and see if you have been misdiagnosed. Sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll send it to you.

I’m fired up about this because it almost happened to me. If you don’t learn what I’m offering to teach you right now for free, you’ll be labeled with bipolar, Lyme, depression and more. Your physicians just want to fix you, and will quickly prescribe the appropriate drugs to address these problems. What if you’ve been misdiagnosed?

If they’re wrong, the only person who pays the price is you.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Dear Joel: “Ed” and I are going to be married in six months. This will be a second marriage for both of us. We are both in our 30s, neither one of us ever having had children. We are planning a small, intimate, family and “close friends” wedding only.

As we continued to make our plans “Ed “ suddenly decided that our honeymoon to Italy was no longer what he wanted. He decided that the Caribbean is more of a “honeymoon destination.” Joel, we have paid almost half of this trip and although it is refundable for any reason; I refuse to change the destinations and plans that were put into place months ago.

As you can imagine, this created a major blow up and we haven’t spoken in nearly two weeks. Perhaps I am being stubborn but it’s the principle of the matter here. I would love your thoughts as to who is right. Should I let him get away with his childish behavior?

Answer: I actually take your side here in that plans were in place and they sounded reasonable. He agreed at the time and I think that

his changing his mind may be unfair. I must say ahead of time that this is an advice column. I am neither a physician nor trained in marriage counseling.

That being said, I don’t think that the trip here is the issue. If at this stage of the relationship you haven’t spoken in the amount of time, I think the honeymoon might have already ended. Time for you to call “Ed” and invite him to dinner. I would stand firm about postponing this marriage as your relationship is more complicated than the honeymoon destination.

If you can’t work this detail out I honestly see trouble ahead in the long run. Settling this honeymoon destination problem out now will not change my view off this relationship.

Please let me know how it works out.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Understanding Non-Probate Assets In Estate Planning

By Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R.C. Shea and Associates

The ter ms “probate assets” and “non-probate assets” are often used when talking about estate planning and estate administration. It is important to understand the difference between the two. Probate assets are those assets which pass under a Last Will and Testament. Conversely, non-probate assets are those assets which do not pass under the Will. Examples of non-probate assets include joint accounts marked “JTWROS” (joint tenants with rights of survivorship), “POD” (payable on death) accounts and real property deeds in the names of both spouses. Other examples include insurance policies, IRA accounts and annuities in which beneficiaries are specifically named.

In the case of non-probate assets the assets pass upon death to certain other persons. The assets do not pass by way of the Will. For example, a bank account in the names of two persons marked “JTWROS” will automatically pass to the survivor upon the death of one of the joint owners. Similarly, if real property is owned by two married persons as “husband and wife” the property automatically passes to the surviving spouse upon the death of the first spouse to die.

Additionally, an IRA or insurance policy will pass to the person named as the beneficiary upon the death of the owner of the IRA or the policy.

What is most important to understand is that these assets do not pass under the terms of the Will. Thus, a mother cannot by her Will leave a joint bank account to her son if the joint bank account is in the name of the mother and her daughter.

Upon the mother’s death the account will go to the daughter. In the same sense, real property in the names of a “husband and

Robert C. Shea Esq.

Marc S. Galella Esq.

wife” cannot be left by a Will to a third party until both spouses have passed away.

In preparing a Will, you must know what assets are probate assets and which are non-probate assets. You must understand what assets will pass under your Will and which will pass outside of your Will. The failure to understand how these assets will pass could render your estate planning meaningless.

You must also understand the concept of non-probate assets even after your Will is complete. This is because in some cases, a person may by Will intend to distribute their assets equally among their three children, but later put a bank account into a joint name with one of the children and not realize that the account will pass to that child alone and not to all three children.

Before preparing your Will, you should discuss with your attorney all of the assets in your name and determine whether the assets are probate or non-probate assets and how you want those assets to be distributed upon your passing.

Sandy:

Continued From Page 1 pushing for the foreclosure bill (A333/ S2300) that would provide a cushion for those who are facing foreclosure on their homes.

O ne of t he more recent issues is clawbacks, said member Joe Mangino.

Sometimes a homeowner has had to give money back. People have been receiving vague letters stating that they owe money to the government without any explanation, he said.

“The homeowner now has to do more legwork,” he said. There never seems to be an end to the issues.

There also is no hard deadline for the end of the survey period, he said. The group is using it as an opportunity to expand as an organization and find more ways to help residents.

The mission statement for NJOP is quite

broad: “We work together to pass policies that make life better for everyday people, change institutions, hold corporations accountable and ensure elected officials stand with us, their constituents.” Their fi rst initiative was the “Finish the Job” campaign in 2014, because too few people were back in their homes. A lot of money was still being withheld.

Previous campaigns have centered on getting more accessible guidelines for how to file for aid, contractor fraud, foreclosures, and getting people off waitlists for funding.

Formed in 2014 by nine Sandy survivors, the New Jersey Organ izi ng Project is a non-profit, with no political affiliation. Other issues they are addressing are climate change and cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and other health care programs. The group recently held two kick-off meetings for 2017 in Manahawkin and Brick.

Comunidad Unida Presentation Series

LAKEWOOD – An informal discussion to educate parents and caregivers about the role of different organizations and how they can help Latino families. This month staff from St. Francis will discuss parenting.

Light refreshments and childcare avail-

able.

The presentation will take place at 10 a.m. on February 13 at the Lakewood branch of the Ocean County Library, 301 Lexington Ave. Registration is required at theoceancountylibrary.org.

NJCounts 2017

NEW JERSEY – All NJ counties participated in NJCounts 2017, a state-wide Point-In-Time Count of sheltered and unsheltered homeless people, as mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Serving as the homeless hotline in four counties in the state (after-hours in Hudson and Morris counties and round-the-clock in Middlesex and Passaic counties), NJ 2-1-1 took an active role in this count by counting every caller from anywhere in the state who identifies themselves as being homeless. Without the organization’s involvement in this effort, some homeless people could go uncounted.

The count is performed every year in our state with the help of volunteers and agencies who are devoted to efforts to end homelessness. People involved in the count will tally the homeless populations in all of the shelters throughout the state, but will also take to the streets to be sure that those living outside of shelters are included.

“Everyone knows that the scarcity of affordable housing is an issue in our state,” says Janice Kaniewski, NJ 2-1-1 call center director,” but it is sobering to hear the voices of those who are facing the prospect of immediate homelessness.” In 2016, 27,068 people statewide called our office looking for help with a housing-related issue; over 20,000 of those calling were looking for shelter or emergency housing.An additional 185,000 searches occurred on the NJ 2-1-1 resource database last year using one of the following terms: Housing; Shelter; Homeless.

Add these figures to the fact that over 83,000 in the same time period contacted the call center looking for financial assistance resources. “People are struggling,” states NJ 2-1-1 board president, Gina Plotino.

“There is just no denying that.”

Monarch Housing Associates, the organization that is responsible for coordinating NJCounts 2017, identifies several factors that will contribute to this year’s count of homeless families, youth and veterans, including: Shelters reporting lack of capacity to house homeless families throughout 2016. (NJ state emergency assistance no longer reimburses shelters.)

A shortage of rental housing driving up demand and costs.

Failure by Congress to increase funding for the federal Housing Choice Voucher program hinders creation of affordable and supportive housing.

NJ’s higher than national average rate of foreclo-

sures (foreclosures cause many owners and renters to lose their homes).

The multitude of jobs in NJ that do not pay a living wage (and those jobs that do pay a living wage that are leaving the state).

When those in need of assistance dial 211, their call is answered by a compassionate call specialist who knows community resources. Every call begins with an inquiry of “How can I help you today?” and is followed by empathetic listening. “Our staff is trained to hear the needs expressed by our callers as well as to listen for other ways they can be of assistance,” Kaniewski explains. “We have thousands of resources in our database and information on many assistance programs,” she continues. “If a caller is not eligible for assistance in one area, they may be able to get help in another. Our call specialists know that and do all they can to connect callers with agencies and organizations that can provide critical resources.”

The very same resource database that call specialists use is available to the public on the organization’s website (nj211.org). Searches can be based on a need (like “shelter”) or an agency’s name, and results can be limited by county or zip code to find nearby resources. The site also offers topical resource pages that have been written to provide the public with information about programs and services in the state.

A search for “affordable housing” results in a broad list of resource categories to choose from, including such topics as Housing/Shelter, Housing Counseling, Low Cost Home Rental Listings, Veteran Homes, Low Income Home Loans, and much more. To the right of that listing is a listing of related web pages and PDFs that often provides snap-shot information on federal, state and local programs, eligibility requirements, application links and contact numbers.

Amongst the suggested pages for “affordable housing,” is a page entitled Homeless in NJ (nj211.org/ homeless-in-new-jersey) with specific information on how to find help.

“While it is true that many, many individuals and families are struggling in our state, they should know that they are not alone,” insists Plotino. “When they don’t know where to turn, I hope they will turn to us so that we can help them find the resources that may make a difference.” NJ 2-1-1 is a free, confidential and multilingual statewide information and referral service that is open every day of the year - day or night.

MONMOUTH COUNTY – The FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties wants to alert workers to a special tax credit that can put money directly in their pockets.

“Earned Imcome Tax Credits (EITC) is a tax benefit for working people and their families and it allows more dollars to flow into our community. It’s money workers can use for groceries, rent, utilities and other bills,” said Carlos Rodri-

FoodBank Offers Tax Prep

guez, FoodBank Executive Director. “We want workers who qualify to have all the information and help they need to claim their refunds so they can get a hand up and begin to move forward.”

Nationwide, the credit returned about $66.7 billion dollars to about 27.5 million working families and individuals in 2015. The tax credit returned about $3.5 million to 2400 workers locally last year through the FoodBank’s Volun-

teer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.

The amount of the refund varies based on income, size of family and filing status. It can mean up to a $506 refund for those without a qualifying child, and up to $8,529 for those with three or more qualifying children. The average refund last year was $2,349 per household in New Jersey.

Those who qualify must file a tax return, even

if they have no tax to pay to claim the credit.

The FoodBank uses IRS-trained volunteers in several locations throughout Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

For more information on qualifying, what to bring to an appointment and where to go for help, visit foodbankmoc.org/free-tax-preparation/.

To book an appointment, call the FoodBank at 732-643-5888 or DIAL 211. Walk-ins are also accepted.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of February 4 - February 11

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The real secret to having everything you want is realizing that you already do. As this week unfolds you might be fascinated by new people or interesting places. Don’t be tempted to stray too far from hearth and home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Learn where you can make improvements. Social situations may give you an opportunity to reassess what you have done wrong in the past. You may be a font of knowledge about expert business practices in the week ahead.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You know what you are worth so only do things that are worthwhile. This week you may be challenged to discriminate between fact and fantasy when dealing with other people. Focus on what actually matters the most.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Consider what you do the best and then do your best with it. In the week to come you may develop a better appreciation of your skills by talking with other people. Make purchases with lasting functionality in mind.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The heart can’t be ruled by the head. You can’t measure satisfaction or creative genius with a slide rule or a pocket calculator. It might be better to rely on intuitions in the week ahead rather than on facts and figures.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will go further by cooperating than by competing.

Good manners and a friendly smile will earn you appreciation and bolster support in the week ahead. Get a firm grip on the ups and downs of your finances.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do it now.

Avoid distractions in the week ahead. Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today or the result will be a pile of work on your desk.

Interactions with someone enticing may distract you and waste your time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Develop your own narrative. You may feel free to speak your mind in the week ahead and persuade someone to follow your lead. It may be easier than usual to obtain recognition for your skill set and talents.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): What you see isn’t always what you get. A project or plan could seem attractive on the surface, but there may be hidden flaws. Don’t get caught up in wishful thinking in the week ahead; get expert advice.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The ringing phone may bring invitations to participate in group activities. Accept invitations to mingle.

You might hear a persuasive proposal in the week ahead. Avoid a tendency to spend your money too freely.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Money is like water and may slip through your fingers in the week to come. At the same time, you might be wise enough to build a dam so that you will have ample money for the future. Save money for rainy days.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Brainstorm past the blinders. You might be so busy pursuing your own agenda that you don’t acknowledge the facts about a situation or romantic relationship.

This isn’t a good week to take a chance on a passing fling.

It’s The Perfect Time To Practice Making A Valentine’s Day Treat

By Wolfgang Puck

As you may know, almost every day of the year seems to have some special food “holiday” associated with it. Some are obvious, like July Fourth being National Barbecue Day or Christmas Eve’s National Eggnog Day. But I’ve been scratching my head trying to figure out why January 27 should be officially recognized as National Chocolate Cake Day. I haven’t been able to find a logical reason. Maybe people just need something pleasurable like a delicious chocolate creation to cheer them up in the middle of winter. Or maybe, if you love that flavor as much as I do, any day at all is as good as the others for something rich and chocolaty.

Come to think of it, though, there could be a very practical reason why this particular late-January date deserves such a distinction: It gives you just over two weeks to plan and perfect what you’ll be cooking for the one you love on Valentine’s Day. After all, many people want to make something special for the annual holiday celebrating love; and chocolate, for obvious reasons, is the go-to special ingredient. When the recipe has the ability to excite oohs and ahs like a magic trick, it makes sense that you, the cook, might want to practice it.

Not that my recipe for molten chocolate lava cakes needs much, if any, practice. In fact, you’ll be surprised by how easy it is to achieve the delightful results: tender individual rounds of rich chocolate cake that, when cut, release luscious flows of warm chocolate fudge. One key is making sure your oven bakes accurately at the temperature to which you set it. You can achieve this simply by calibrating your oven.

Hang an inexpensive oven thermometer from a rack set at the center level, and set the oven to the required baking temperature of 350 F (175 C). Then, once the oven has heated, note any difference between the setting and the thermometer reading, using that difference to adjust your oven setting accordingly.

The other important factor is to use a good-quality chocolate containing 65 to 70 percent cocoa solids, a number that you’ll find noted on the labeling of upscale products. This will provide the intense chocolate flavor, balanced by the creaminess of its cocoa butter content. Add the few other simple ingredients, mix them as instructed and bake them with a close eye on the timer and on how the cakes look, and you should achieve the desired molten centers. Even if you overcook them a bit, you’ll still have

delicious, warm chocolate cakes.

But, of course, practice does make perfect.

And National Chocolate Cake Day gives you an ideal excuse to start getting ready for Valentine’s Day! MOLTEN CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKES Serves 8 Butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray 5 ounces (140 g) bittersweet chocolate, 65 to 70 percent cocoa solids, cut or broken into chunks 8 ounces (250 g) unsalted butter 3 large cage-free eggs 3 large cage-free egg yolks 1/4 cup (60 mL) granulated sugar 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted To serve: Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting 1 pint (500 mL) vanilla ice cream, or freshly whipped cream 1 cup (250 mL) fresh berries Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 F (175 C). Spray the bottoms of eight 4-ounce (125-mL) ramekins or other round baking containers with the nonstick cooking spray and place a circle of parchment paper in the bottom of each. Arrange on a baking tray. Set aside.

Put the chocolate and butter in a medium heatproof bowl. Set over a saucepan of gently simmering water, taking care that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until completely melted and blended.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, using the wire whisk attachment at medium speed, beat together the eggs, egg yolks and sugar for 3 minutes. Whisk the flour into the warm chocolate-butter mixture. Then, beating at low speed, add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture.

Pour the batter into the ramekins. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes, rotating the baking tray 180 degrees halfway through if your oven doesn’t cook evenly, until the sides look firm but the centers still seem very soft.

Remove from the oven and set aside for 5 to 10 minutes.

To serve, use a heatproof pad or towel to grip a ramekin firmly and invert onto a serving plate; lift up to unmold. (If it won’t unmold, run the blade of a thin knife between the side of the ramekin and the cake to loosen the edge.) Peel off and discard the paper.

Serve immediately, garnished with ice cream or whipped cream and fresh berries.
