By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – The Jackson Township Police will soon have direct access to school district cameras, but only in emergencies.

School Superintendent Stephen Genco said the arrangement is an extension of the district’s current policy with the Jackson Police Department, which is spelled out in a memorandum of agreement renewed each year.

A Look Inside Local Homeless Camp

By Chris Lundy HOWELL - It’s quiet, walking into the homeless camp i n Howell. Most of them are at work.

That’s the contradiction that Minister Steve Brigham, who looks after the camp, wants to be known. Not everyone who is homeless has substance abuse or

other issues. Poverty comes from not having enough to afford rent or a mortgage in a very expensive world, he said. Even working for $12 an hour, there are no inexpensive homes in the area. Poor people have, in essence, been zoned out.

Joe is a contractor, who does mainte-

nance on a per diem basis. He gets picked up in the morning at the camp. Nancy and Jack ride their bikes into Lakewood and clean schools. Kevin cuts down trees, when his injured back allows it.

Carlos stocks shelves.

Igor is older and isn’t currently employed.

Cindy, who up until

recently worked in the Lakewood industrial park, is looking for work. Her tent defies the stereotype of homeless. From the outside, there are decorations in front of the layers of tarp. To enter, you have to step up onto the plywood base, which keeps it off the cold, (Camp - See Page 4)

Camp:

Continued From Page 1 wet ground.

The first thing you see inside the tent is a scanner and printer. This is where she does work for the camp and searches for jobs. The inside is shaped like a plus sign. There are a table and chairs in the middle. A kitchen area with a hot plate is to the right. The bed is straight ahead.

Storage is to the left. All the decor is color coordinated black and white.

The location of the camp is a bit of a secret, since Brigham does not want to upset the township governing body or residents. It’s off of Route 9 in Howell. There’s a dirt road that curves around some heavy trees to a parking lot. The few homeless who have vehicles have them parked out there. Garbage and recycling is separated and then dropped off on New Hampshire Avenue.

There are a lot more decorations here than there were at Tent City. Painted wooden decorations are hung on trees, and several of the residents have a decoration with their name on it out front of their tents.

All of the tents congregate in a central area near the entrance. A few tents are for storage.

There is a small garden, and they’ve had some luck with that. They have tried to drill a well, but can’t manage to get the water pressure for it to be really useful. One area consists of generators and batteries that power people’s electronic devices.

A small trail winds deeper into the woods and leads to a prayer garden. This is a rather striking natural phenomenon, a circle with a lone tree in the middle. Stone monuments, do-

nated from a local source, dot the area. Prayers are written and hung up on the tree. There’s a small, still pond behind the prayer garden that might be a retention basin.

It’s a small community. Someone from the outside brings a meal every Sunday, and everyone eats together, family style. Most of the residents are older than 55. After 9 o’clock, it gets quiet.

Brigham was a contractor for years before his current situation. He found some people who needed camping equipment and propane.

This situation eventually grew into Tent City in Lakewood. Eventually, he gave up his old life to live among them.

What Happened To Tent City’s Residents?

At different times, between 60 and 120 residents were known to live in a sprawling homeless camp in Lakewood off Cedar Bridge Avenue.

Tent City had a combative relationship with Lakewood authorities. While many residents came by and gave supplies, the township did not want them squatting on its land. There had been reports of drug and alcohol use, and there were a few small fires. Some people had to be kicked out because they caused too much trouble. Those fires Brigham suspected might have started from people trying to scare the homeless out of the woods.

The township performed a few actions to curtail Tent City and its residents. They blocked the road going in so people would have trouble bringing supplies. They took Brigham’s bus, which had been converted to have a shower and other amenities, and scrapped it. They passed a law making it illegal to sleep outside.

Ocean County does not have a homeless shel-

ter. Ultimately, the county was sued to provide one, but nothing came of that suit.

Tent City closed on July 3, 2014. Lakewood was required to find housing for every resident living there for one year.

“Everyone was homeless again by July 3, 2015,” Brigham said. “There was no job training, no job placement, no supportive services at all.”

In part, the success of Tent City became its undoing. As word of it spread, more homeless came, and it became difficult for Lakewood’s governing body to ignore.

“It’s hard to manage that big of a camp,” he said of Tent City.

“About 60 got housing for a year. That year

has been over with,” Brigham said. Many went back to being homeless, although they no longer had their camping supplies. The donor network had also dissipated, not knowing where to find them.

Some drifted off to other states. Without any way of keeping in touch, Brigham does not know where some of them went or what their welfare is like now. There are a few small areas in Howell, Brick and Toms River that are home to a few of them. The seven who live in the Howell camp now are all Tent City transplants.

“There are still a lot hidden away in Lakewood,” he said.

He also explained what an addict feels like: “You get sick when you don’t have that drug in you. It’s like the flu. Imagine if you had the flu and you knew that if you took something, within five minutes, you’d feel better,” he said.

Drug Education Drug education is starting in the schools, and police are providing tools to teachers, he said.

One educational tactic is the Right Turn videos that are available to schools. Produced with money taken from drug dealers, they are filmed locally with high school theater classes. They open up with a brief message from a local person turned celebrity. In the video he showed to participants, this was Richie Sambora, guitarist for Bon Jovi. The video took place in Point Pleasant, and showed a series of vignettes. Each one gave a young person a choice. The video then showed the outcome of either choice. One video shows a kid who becomes a drug dealer just by swiping a prescription bottle from his parents. “It was scary easy,” the kid narrated.

Another shows a girl getting hooked on painkillers, going through rehab, but then starting up later. There were certain lies that users wind up stating: “I’m just going to try this,” is a lie because addicts lose control. “I’m never going to use a needle” becomes a lie when addicts will try to get drugs any way they can.

Coronato explained that the drugs on the street now are much more powerful than they had been. Additionally, mixed with the pain killer fentanyl, the high lasts longer. It could be 1,000 times more powerful than morphine.

Of the overdoses recorded in the county, 10 percent of them had fentanyl involved in 2014.

In 2015, this had risen to 30 percent. Last year, fentanyl was part of 65 percent of overdoses.

That is one of the reasons the prosecutor’s office is trying to get a law passed that if Narcan is administered, then the patient must go to the hospital. In a lot of cases, first responders see that the patient has recovered, and leave them in the house. There is no safeguard that the patient won’t overdose as soon as the first responder leaves. And if fentanyl is in their system, the heroin could stay in their body longer than the Narcan. In this case, Narcan doesn’t stop the overdose, but just delay it.

Narcan, the trade name for naloxone, works by covering receptors in your brain. By covering those receptors, opiates can’t attach to them.

Enforcement It is not surprising that police departments are going after drug dealers, but the way they are going about it was explained.

Upon overdose, detectives investigate to determine who the victim’s dealer was. Then, that dealer is charged with that person’s death.

Doing this, the county tried 31 people for homicide, with another four cases pending in 2017, Coronato said. This is not a new law in New Jersey, but few know about it. It is called strict liability, and it applies to any death in which there was no actual negligence or intent to do harm.

The county has an aggressive forfeiture policy. When a dealer is charged, the county takes their vehicles, house, and other things that might have been bought with drug money.

They liquidate those assets and then use that

The Jackson Times, February 25, 2017, Page 5 money in the fight against drugs, he said. That money funds educational videos, treatment for addicts, and Narcan, the chemical that saves the lives of people who might have overdosed otherwise.

“What better thing to do than to take drug money and use it to save lives?”

Treatment None of this matters, he said, if people continue to be addicted. The latest tool in fighting addiction is the Heroin Addiction Recovery Program.

HARP allows users to turn themselves in, and hand over any drugs they have, without any threat of charges or jail. Instead, they are brought to a treatment center for addiction.

There have been 54 people helped in this way in the first four weeks, he said.

HARP is a pilot program in New Jersey.

For now, it is only available for one day in Manchester and one day in Brick. Coronato said his vision is to expand it to Stafford and Little Egg Harbor first, and then probably Jackson and Lacey.

Even though the program is only for certain days, the police are not turning anyone away, he said. It has just made for a learning curve as people come in. For example, if someone comes in at 1 a.m., there has to be a plan in place for them to get the help they need. If someone comes in with outstanding warrants that are not drug related, they have to figure out what to do about them. If someone comes in who is a sex offender, they can’t be placed in residential facilities. A sizeable percentage have mental health issues on top of addiction.

People are coming to Manchester and Brick from Cape May and Gloucester counties.

“There was a bus that wanted to come from New York,” he said. There are only so many beds available.

After rehab, support services have to continue, he said. Just because someone is clean, it doesn’t mean their struggles are over. They can relapse. And when they do, they might go back to the same level of drug use they used to have, only without the resistance they had built up. That could be deadly.

Challenges to Come Education, enforcement, and treatment are turning up success stories, but more needs to be done, he said.

“It’s been spiralling out of control and that’s because we haven’t handled it correctly,” he said.

The prosecutor’s office will be looking at old cases to find out why Ocean County’s death statistics are so much higher than other counties.

There was one speaker who came on before Coronato. It was Dan Schafer, the chaplain for several departments, including Jackson, Brick, Stafford and the Sheriff’s Department.

“In Jackson alone, there have been over 60 death notifications” regarding drug overdoses, he said. Every other day, he hears on the police scanner “unconscious, non-breather.”

Two days before the speech, on February 17, someone was found in the Dunkin Donuts parking lot, an apparent overdose.

“It’s the worst news you could ever hear.

Someone comes to your door and says ‘I’m sorry to tell you your son was found dead,’“ he said. On an almost bi-weekly basis, officers are going out to tell people this news. “Folks, I’m tired, and our communities and our nation is tired,” he said.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER What Does The Flag Mean To Me? Our flag means very much to me. Why? I think back to 1776 and the beginning of the country. We have the Constitution, and as a very symbol of our new country, we had a flag. The way the story goes, it was Betsy Ross who made our first flag. We then went into battle with England’s to get our freedom. We were ready to stand on our own two feet and break the chains of tyranny. It was not easy and much blood was shed to gain our freedom.

From that time on to the present day, we had to go into battle to preserve our country. Each time the flag was in the forefront of our armies.

Since the beginning of our country, time and again we have had to do battle to save the union, and each time the flag was there to inspire our armies.

So you see, the flag is so much more than a piece of cloth with stars and stripes.

Old Glory is at the very foundation of our country.

We have reached the present day and some of our young see no reason for the flag.

They don’t wish to fly the flag and some even have had the nerve to burn the flag. My question is, why? Why is it that these people show such

disrespect for our flag? Are these the people who helped build our country? Are these the people who are willing to fight for our country and its symbol? No. Most of these people are young and don’t really care about our country. They say they are unhappy with the country and the flag. They don’t give one thought to those who died to preserve our great country.

These people are what I call takers. The only wish to take and give nothing back. These are the people who would rather leave the country then fight for it. I realize that at present they are within the law, so I say let’s change the law to protect the flag. These people who are protesting the flag will go on their way and find something else to protest. Maybe when they grow up, they will learn to treasure the flag. It’s rather sad that there are some of our young who don’t realize how lucky they are to be an American and to have our flag and what it stands for.

God Bless America and the flag! A symbol of freedom and liberty!

South Jersey Needs Energy I am responding to Chris Lundy’s article in your February 11 edition concerning the South Jersey Natural Gas Pipeline.

For the record, another natural gas utility, New Jersey Natural Gas, is proposing a second pipeline, a much larger 30” line, to run from Chesterfield Township near Bordentown where Colonial Pipeline has a connection for regional gas distributors to tie to their enormous pipelines that bring a variety of energy fuels from the Gulf Coast to the Northeast.

This connector line would then r un to Manchester Township near Toms River where NJNG has its own large tie-in facility for its distribution system.

Protests for both pipelines seem to follow along the same line of reasoning so I wish to review the facts.

The most important fact is that neither of these pipelines will cause disruption and/or damage to the New Jersey Pinelands. Over 95 percent of the routes for each of these pipelines will run within existing highway right-of-ways.

Readers should also understand that semi-maintained rights-of-way actually provide a large amount of value in the form of the vegetation that grows along the edges of these spaces benefiting animals and birds that live in the area.

Hurricane Sandy but Jersey have been growing Senate to deny Sessions a juthe brakes on that growth but the recovery of South Jersey from that storm has actually increased the needs for energy of all types. One lady interviewed in the article, who lives in Barnegat Light, claims “we don’t need the energy.” Ma’am, nothing could be further from the truth.

Ocean, Atlantic and Cape May counties have special needs. First, the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station is slated to close in 2019. Exactly how will southeastern New Jersey replace that electricity generated by that plant? Then we need to discuss the Beesleys Point Plant that is on the Bay behind Ocean City and currently generates electricity uses, breathe deeply, coal.

Frankly, I’d love to get the Beesleys Point Plant switched over from coal to clean natural gas. That is the main purpose of the natural gas line that South Jersey Gas wants to run from near Millville to a location near the Beesleys Point Plan.

But the energy needs in South Jersey are greater than providing gas to Beesleys Point. There is a large amount of development going on in this area with much of it involved in repair, rebuilding and remediation of damage caused

by Hurricane Sandy. Commercial, light industrial and residential development is booming all of which creates new customers who all need energy of various sources.

by leaps and bounds for decades regardless of what the lady in Barnegat Light believes.

The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities was so concerned about the brownouts and blackouts on Long Beach Island and surrounding areas several decades ago that the Board ordered Atlantic Electric to rebuild and increase the transmission capacity of electricity into the Southern Ocean area and that includes Barnegat Light.

Progress always has costs but I think that burying two pipelines under roadways ends up costing us nothing in long term damage to the environment. But progress does not take place without available energy sources.

I think South Jersey Gas should consider installing a larger diameter pipeline while they have the trench open to handle the needs of the future for a longer period of time.

She Persisted I want to call your attention to the way our sister, Senator Elizabeth Warren, was silenced in the US Senate. This is why we need to elect more women who will speak the truth, no matter what Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, the GOP, and every other male-dominated part of the political system tries to do.

As the only woman among ten candidates running for the Democratic nomination for governor – a field that includes a Wall Street billionaire and one legislator who voted five times to outlaw or restrict access to abortion – I promise to persist no matter what.

Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had Senator Elizabeth Warren removed from the Senate because she read a letter from civil rights icon Coretta Scott King about Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions during debate over his nomination for attorney general.

In the 1986 letter urging the

dicial appointment, the widow of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. described his history of racist words & deeds, so Senate Republicans used an obscure rule that forbids derogatory remarks about a member. Like you, I heard a rallying cry when McConnell said: She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.

You bet, she persisted. And now we must persist by taking action, running for office, volunteering and giving money to support the election of women.

When policies targeting people are based on religion or ethnicity, “alternative facts” are more common than the truth and basic freedoms are at risk, women cannot remain silent. When our political revolution is over, a victory will be won because we persisted.

Only one of every four elected officials are women, so we must be fighting nonstop for the things we care about, and I need your help. As governor, I plan to make major changes in the way New Jersey’s dysfunctional government operates. Imagine how much better things would be if more women had power like Senator Elizabeth Warren!

The GOP would love nothing more than to see us sit down and shut up. The old boy’s club that runs New Jersey may seem more advanced than Trump and his pals, but do not for a minute think they consider us their equals.

Women must elect more of us!

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

Clifton Bill Protects Invisible Victims Of Opioid Crisis Capitol Comments Assemblyman Rob Clifton 12th Legislative District, Serving Jackson

TRENTON – Assemblyman Rob Clifton renewed calls for legislative action on his bill to protect the

lives and well-being of police officers and emergency medical personnel. Clifton’s legislation

(A3104), introduced last February, requires drug users who were revived with Narcan or a similar opioid antidote to undergo blood testing for infectious disease if an officer or fi rst responder was exposed to bodily fluid.

“Every day, our police a nd EMS workers r isk their health responding

to drug-related emergencies,” said Clifton (R— Monmouth). “Narcan has been administered more than 18,000 times in this state since 2014. When the drug is administered, and during the resuscitation of the endangered user, contact with blood or digestive liquids is a common occurrence.”

Clifton introduced the bill after a police officer was potentially contaminated when he administered Narcan to save an overdose victim. Assemblymen Dave Rible (R— Mon mouth) and Daniel Benson (D-Mercer) have joined Clifton as sponsors of the bipartisan measure.

“Emergency workers who

may be exposed deserve to know if their patient is carrying a blood borne illness.

Why should a responder who saved a life have to live with uncertainty about their own health?” asked Clifton. “It is time to pass this bill and give our police and ambulance workers the peace of mind and certainty they earn.”

Dancer Legislation Outlaws Relay Attack Units Used To Steal Cars Capitol Comments Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer 12th Legislative District, Serving Jackson

TR ENTON – Drivers who enjoy the convenience of a car with keyless entry and a push-button start are also vulnerable to a new, high-tech for m of auto theft. Assemblyman Ron Dancer has introduced legislation to lessen the risk.

Dancer’s bill (A4495) makes it a crime to manufacture, sell or possess a relay attack device that thieves use to break into, and drive off with, vehicles that do not require the use of a key.

“This is a new way to

break into late-model cars without getting your hands dirty,” said Dancer (R— Ocean). “This is a new gadget that only has one pur pose: Breaking into cars. Only criminals use this tool to hack into cars.

This bill will make it il-

legal to own or sell one of these instr uments of crime.”

Under the bill, the possession or sale of a relay attack unit is a fourth degree crime punishable by up to 18 months in prison and a $10,000 fi ne.

$1.1 Million In Energy Incentives Coming To Ocean County

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County officials announced the County will receive $1.1 million in incentives from the state Board of Public Utilities for the installation of an energy efficient heating and cooling system at the Ocean County Justice Complex on Hooper Avenue, Toms River.

“We are very happy to receive these incentives from the BPU,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the county’s Department of Buildings and Grounds. “This is an important step in the work Ocean County has been doing to create more energy efficient facilities.”

The BPU noted the County submitted an application under the New Jerseys’ Clean Energy Program’s Combined Heat and Power & Fuel Cell Program requesting $1.1 million in incentives for the installation of a new Combined Heat and Power system at the Ocean County Justice Complex in downtown Toms River.

The Justice Complex is a multi-use facility housing

courtrooms, some of the divisions of the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office, jail facilities and other government functions.

The new 600 kW CHP system generates electricity to power the facility, while capturing and using the waste heat for space heating, cooling, and water heating.

According to Vicari and the BPU, the energy efficiency measures will provide both energy and cost savings.

“The estimated annual energy cost savings is expected to be $383,000,” Vicari said.

“That is substantial savings for the county taxpayers.”

Ocean County has closely been working with the BPU on energy upgrades at County facilities.

In November, the County was notified by the state Board of Public Utilities that it accepted and approved the county’s plan for energy upgrades.

“With that approval we began to move forward with the upgrades,” Vicari said.

Ocean County completed the energy audit in May submitting the information to the

BPU for approval.

“This audit is very important to us as we look at ways to reduce costs and improve our energy efficiency,” Vicari said. “The audit comes with a number of beneficial suggestions that we will be considering for implementation.”

Under the program, Vicari said, costs for the improvements would be offset by incentives from the state.

And, he said, the money saved on energy could be reallocated to pay for additional energy upgrades. The audit’s recommendations could reap a self-funding potential of $19.3 million which is more than $1.3 million more than the amount appropriated for the upgrades.

“The energy audit was the result of an exhaustive examination of six facilities that receive a lot of traffic both from the public and with our employees,” Vicari said. “That is why they were chosen for this initial review.”

In addition to the Justice Complex the other facilities included the Ocean County Courthouse, the Ocean County Administration Building,

the Ocean County Jail, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office and the parking garage all in downtown Toms River.

“These facilities total 1,022,775 square feet,” Vicari said. “They produce an annual energy bill of $2.3 million.”

Ocean County is looking at other improvements including upgrades to the lighting systems, automated controls for lighting, upgrades to existing heating and air conditioning systems and some

building improvements.

The BPU’s Clean Energy Program promotes increased energy efficiency and the use of clean, renewable sources of energy. The County began the process in late 2014 to participate in the Local Government Energy Audit to identify cost-justified efficiency measures. This audit results provided the Board of Freeholders with various energy alternatives that can be implemented.

Over the course of several

months, representatives from DCO Energy, Lawrenceville, visited each county location noted in the audit and did a complete review of the buildings.

“They looked at electric and natural gas usage, building architectural and engineering drawings, lighting systems, heating and air conditioning equipment and controls, roofs, windows, doorways, occupancy schedules and maintenance practices,” Vicari said.

Vax-D Spinal Decompression Allows Back Pain to Heal…NATURALLY Many back pain conditions that we see can be helped by our state of the art Vax-D decompression table. Decompression relieves pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression achieves this by creating negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative intra-discal pressure. This creates essentially a vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc material back into the disc space and relieves pressure. This process of non-surgical decompression allows the body to heal itself naturally. Vax-D decompression tables have been successfully operating for over 15 years throughout the world and more than 3,000 patients a day receive this treatment in the U.S. alone. Vax-D is one of the FDAcleared technologies available at Northeast Spine and

Spinning, tilting, nausea, headaches, and hearing loss are common complaints that physicians are likely to hear from just under half of their patients — all common perception-related symptoms of vertigo. According to the National Institutes of Health, approximately 40 percent of the United States population reports experiencing vertigo at least once in their lifetime. The prevalence increases in females and with age, but it can occur in people of all ages, including children.

While vertigo itself is benign, its symptoms and underlying causes pose a threat to the well-being of those affected. In mild cases, it can lead to fatigue, struggle with work, and depression. In severe cases, it can result in difficulties walking, standing, and can lead to sudden falls and injury — which means identifying and treating the cause early is important.

Most often vertigo occurs as a result of a disturbance in equilibrium due to a disorder in the vestibular system, an area in the inner ear responsible for keeping objects in focus as the body moves. Peripheral vestibular disorders that may cause vertigo include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Ménière’s disease, vestibular neuritis, and ototoxicity. Each of these disorders has their own unique causes, effects, and treatments.

BPPV is at the root of approximately 50 percent of the complaints of vertigo in older people. It occurs when tiny particles called otoconia or canaliths, composed of calcium and protein, fall into the inner-ear canals. Head movements cause the canaliths to shift the inner ear’s nerve hairs, which in turn sends signals to the brain initiating the sensation of vertigo. BPPV is characterized by bouts of vertigo, which can be accompanied by facial-muscle weakness, reduced cognitive function, and hearing loss. Common causes of BPPV include head injury, infection, and inner-ear degeneration due to aging.

The canalith repositioning procedure (CRP) is the primary treatment for BPPV and can be performed in a trained professional’s office or can be self-administered by the patient. CRP consists of a series of movements that reposition the head and trunk. The treatment’s goal is to move the canaliths out of the inner-ear canal and back into an area where they will no longer elicit the symptoms of BPPV and can be reabsorbed by the body. The procedure is effective in 80 percent of patients, but it does not prevent reoccurrence.

Ménière’s disease is an inner-ear disorder believed to result from a buildup of fluid and changing pressure. It typically only affects one ear and is characterized by sudden attacks of vertigo that may occur after a brief period of muffled hearing or tinnitus. A feeling of fullness in the ear and hearing loss may also occur. Ménière’s disease is considered a chronic condition primarily affecting individuals between the ages of 40 and 60

years; however, it can occur in people of all ages.

According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), approximately 615,000 individuals in the United States currently suffer from Ménière’s disease.

Constricted blood vessels, viral infections, allergies, autoimmune reactions, and genetic predispositions are all thought to be possible reasons for the onset of Ménière’s disease. While there is no cure, treatments include the use of medications to alleviate vertigo, salt restriction and diuretics to reduce fluid retention, and dietary and lifestyle changes, including limiting caffeine, chocolate, alcohol, and smoking. Cognitive therapy and surgery are treatment options that may be utilized for more serious cases.

Vestibular neuritis is an inner-ear disorder typically related to an infection that causes inflammation in the ear around the nerves crucial to the body’s sense of balance. Once inflamed, the transmission of sensory information from the ear to the brain is disrupted, and vertigo as well as vision and hearing disturbances occur. The onset of symptoms is most often sudden and can occur at any time.

The most common approach to the treatment of vestibular neuritis includes relieving the nausea and dizziness with medication while healing the infection with antibiotics, steroids, or antiviral drugs. If symptoms become chronic and persist for several months, vestibular rehabilitation exercises will be used to help the brain adapt to the vestibular imbalances.

Ototoxicity is a poisoning of the ear due to exposure to certain medications and environmental chemicals — such as mercury, tin, and lead — that damage the vestibulocochlear nerve. High doses or the long-term use of some antibiotics can cause permanent ototoxicity. Other medications that can cause temporary ototoxicity include anticonvulsants, antidepressants, loop diuretics, pain relievers, and prescription and over-the-counter cold medicines. Symptoms of ototoxicity include vertigo, blurred or bouncing vision, headaches, fatigue, and nausea. The vast majority of ototoxicity cases are short term, and the effects are reversible.

There is currently no standard treatment for ototoxicity. When permanent damage from a bout of ototoxicity does occur, treatments will include reducing the effects through physical therapy focused on restoring balance, and the use of hearing aids in cases where hearing loss has occurred.

Most forms of vertigo are treatable when accurately diagnosed by an audiologist. Methods of relief are available in many forms that can help alleviate the spinning, tilting, nausea, and headaches that plague otherwise healthy individuals, and can help them lead a normal life. For more information, please feel free to call Dr. Izzy 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.

Avoiding Salt Is Bad For Your Heart

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Before you reach for the salt shaker, you need to know that the kind of salt you eat matters. Typical table salt found in almost all kitchens and restaurants is similar to the industrial chemical used to de-ice highways.

Not very appetizing, is it?

Despite its bad rap as a prime driver of heart disease, good salt is actually an essential component of a healthy diet. Even the mainstream medical establishment is starting to understand that good salt isn’t the bad guy it’s been made out be. In 2010, a study published in JAMA found that (in exactly the opposite of what most of you think about salt consumption), the risk of heart disease and related deaths rises with seemingly modest salt reductions. Yes, rises!

This is troubling when you consider that the U.S. Dietary Guidelines have steadily recommended American reduce their sodium intake, from 6,000 mg per day in the 2005 guidelines to 2,300 mg per day in the 2015 guidelines.

Another 2010 study published by researchers out of Harvard, found a link between a low-salt diet and an increase in insulin resistance, which is the gateway problem that leads to diabetes and obesity.

Table salt is so refined that I consider it a food additive and not a food. It’s high in sodium and chloride only, it has been stripped of life-sustaining minerals like copper, iodine, potassium, magnesium, chromium, zinc, and iron. There is nothing left except sodium chloride. It’s nutritionally

naked. Sea salt is different. Avoiding sea salt (the unrefined kinds) could actually be bad for your health.

Refined table salt (ie sodium chloride) is often mixed with chemicals to keep it from clumping up inside your shaker. They may use an anti-caking agents called talc, which is a possible carcinogen found in “baby powder.”

Unrefined sea salt, is not chemically modified in a lab or stripped of its minerals. Be careful because sea salt can also be refined too much. But colorful, unrefined sea salt is essentially water from a sea (or river) that gets evaporated and purified. These types of salts should not dramatically impact blood pressure like table salt, in fact they offer healthy minerals which drive thousands of metabolic reactions all day long. I will now list a few salts, but please go to my website to read the longer version of this article which includes other unique salts: Pink Himalyan Salt. The color comes from iron oxide, but this one has over 80 trace minerals, the most of any type of salt.

Red Alaea Hawaiian Salt. This sea salt starts white but then develops a beautiful rich red color when it’s dried in salt ponds that are lined with red volcanic clay (known as alaea in Hawaiian). That red hue comes from the presence of iron.

Celtic or French Grey Sea Salt. This comes from France, and gets its color from the clay found in the tidal pools where the salt is dried. It is a particularly good source of magnesium.

CentraState And Private Doctors Form Partnership

FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP – Family Practice of CentraState, in addition to Marc Feingold, MD, Neil Agrawal, MD, David Lombardi, MD, Vinod Shetty, MD, Orlando Mills, MD, and Fiola Sowemimo, MD are now primary care providers participating in Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+), a partnership between payer partners from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

(CMS), state Medicaid agencies, commercial health plans, self-insured businesses, and primary care providers. This partnership is designed to provide Medicare patients improved access to quality health care at lower costs.

Family Practice of CentraState, which has offices in six locations, including Freehold Boro, Freehold Township, Colts Neck, Jack-

son, Monroe, and East Windsor, is committed to improving the health and well-being of the people in its community and providing its patients with access to skillful primary care physicians and clinicians. The goal of the practice is to provide exemplary medical services with a focus on quality, efficiency and access to care along with a focus on disease prevention and early intervention.

For current and future patients, Family Practice of CentraState has already been locally and nationally recognized for providing high-quality care designed at lowering costs and preventing complications and/or worsening disease, and now, has the opportunity to get even better. By acceptance into CPC+, the physician practices will be looking at innovative ways to enhance a patient’s care.

Such examples will be implementing robust communication platforms, providing alternative means for individual and group health care, and teaming up with community-based resources, such as The Star and Barry Tobias Health Awareness Center at CentraState, to offer additional programs aimed at improving nutrition, fitness, and physical and mental health.

These physicians’ involvement in CPC+ means that their patients can be confident they will receive the most enhanced, holistic and preventative care that is aimed at reducing the risk of disease and illness and enhancing overall health and wellness. Unlike a typical family practice physician’s office that spends approximately 10 minutes with each patient, Family Practice of CentraState spends 20 to 40 minutes with patients depending on their specific illnesses or disease management issues. Patients receive proactive care to treat the whole person, not just the medical issue at hand, and receive close follow up to provide a tailored, continuum of care.

The CPC+ five-year model started on January 1, 2017, with CMS soliciting a diverse pool of commercial health plans, state Medicaid agencies, and self-insured businesses to work alongside Medicare to support comprehensive primary care. Public and private health plans in 14 regions across the country signed letters of intent with CMS to participate in this model.

CMS selected Family Practice of CentraState to participate in CPC+. They were chosen based on their use of health information technology; ability to demonstrate recognition of advanced primary care delivery by leading clinical societies; service to patients covered by participating payer partners; participation in practice transformation and improvement activities; and diversity of geography, practice size, and ownership structure.

In addition, Family Practice of CentraState and Marc Feingold, MD, have recently been selected by the CMS among 516 awardees in 47 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia to participate in the Million Hearts® Cardiovascular Disease Risk Reduction Model that is designed to help reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes among millions of Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries. Family Practice of CentraState and Dr. Feingold will work to decrease cardiovascular disease risk by assessing an individual patient’s risk for heart attack or stroke and applying prevention interventions, including smoking cessation interventions, blood pressure management, or cholesterol-lowering drugs or aspirin – along with explaining the benefits of each personalized, risk-modification plan.

To learn more about Family Practice of CentraState or to make an appointment with one of their primary care physicians, call 732.462-0100 or visit fpcj.net.

Cameras:

Continued From Page 1 the superintendent’s permission and under district supervision.

School officials told The Jackson Times that video archives are accessible by only a few select administrators and other staff.

The archives record who accesses a video and when, so while it’s unlikely anyone will access the archives anyway, there’s no way to access it without others knowing.

The new arrangement Genco discussed at the board of education meeting on February 14 goes a step further. This new arrangement would install the viewing software in the police department so it could be used only when necessary during an emergency. There are no additional cameras being installed for

this endeavor and there is no additional cost to the district.

The district declined to say how many cameras are in each school and where those cameras are located, although many are clearly visible on the outside of district buildings.

“Day to day, nothing will change,’’ Genco said. “What this does is set us up so that if we ever need the police department to view our cameras during an emergency, they can do that.’’

Genco said this is another example of the schools and police working together to keep students safe.

“We have a very good relationship with the Jackson Police Department,’’ he said.

“We see this as just another way we can help them respond in an emergency, when every second counts.’’

tain a great amount of sugar has likely contributed to the obesity epidemic in the United States. Americans consume, on average, 765 grams of sugar every five days, and 130 pounds of sugar every year. One hundred thirty pounds of sugar equals about 1,767,900 Skittles. One can of Coke, 12 ounces, contains 10 teaspoons of sugary goodness, and the average American consumes 53 gallons of soda a year. If sugar were taken away from the average American diet, 500 calories would be saved every day.

How Sweet It Is…Or Isn’t

JACKSON – Bartley Healthcare is partnering with CentraState Medical Center to host an educational seminar to inform the community on the many ways sugar can affect the body. Guests will never guess how many dietary items they consume on a daily basis that contain sugar, and the actual amount that they include is jaw dropping.

Bartley is hosting the seminar at 175 Bartley Road in Jackson. The seminar will be held on March 1 at 6 p.m. Blood pressure and glucose screenings will take place from 5 to 6 p.m., before the seminar.

The presenter will be Caryn Alter, MS, RD of the Star and Barry Tobias Health Awareness Center. Alter is a registered Dietitian at CentraState Medical Center.

Camp:

Continued From Page 4 Not Another Tent City This Howell location was discovered by one of the homeless who knows his way around a computer, Brigham said. He was able to locate it, and then others scouted it out.

Some things have carried over from Tent City, such as the chapel. This is a group of seats under a tent, with a lectern at the front.

Heating for the camp has switched back to propane, since wood stoves were found to be too unpredictable.

Lessons that were learned at Tent City also made it here. There are several fire extinguishers mounted on trees throughout the camp.

One thing that is different is the relationship with local authorities.

“Howell has been very friendly. Police will check in on us. ‘How are you doing? Have a nice day,’“ he said.

This camp is being kept intentionally small,

Brigham said. Other homeless people have come to the camp and he finds different locations for them.

“Howell’s asked if the camp is going to get bigger,” he said, noting that it will not.

“They’ve been really nice to us so I’m going to respect that.”

Donations For More Than Just Homeless Despite being hidden, individuals and civic groups still know where to go to bring donations, Brigham said. However, being only a handful of people, not all of the donations stay there. If the homeless there can’t make use of something, they find someone who can. In this case, they are either taken to other homeless or re-donated to other local poor, given out in Lakewood’s town square. In these cases, the homeless are actually donating to poor people living in houses.

There are a few people, for example, who make their living shoveling snow. This winter has not been good for them, Brigham said.

Someone he knows works at a library who

connects him with people who need help.

There are a lot of people in need, and it’s become a mission to spread the help as widely as possible.

How To Help The day-to-day operations of the camp require keeping up with the cost of propane in the winter and water in the summer, Brigham said. Camping equipment is always ideal, because there is a lot of wear and tear on theirs.

The daily needs are not as important as the political needs. What Brigham wants to do is create housing that the working poor can actually afford.

Years ago, the state courts created a Counsel on Affordable Housing that required every town to set aside some of their property for low-to-moderate income families. However, even these properties are way out of the range of the very poor. So, while the state requires towns to zone for low income, they are not required to zone for very low income. Mobile home parks are being built over, with no new

ones being built.

The tiny homes trend is slowly catching on in other states, but not here yet, he said. There is an example of one on the dirt road leading into the camp. It’s the size of a shed. Inside, there is a living area/kitchen, a full bathroom, and a loft where the bed is.

“You don’t realize until you live in a situation like this how much you don’t need,” he said.

“It’s 103 square feet but it’s illegal anywhere in New Jersey.”

What Brigham is looking for, which will help people more than temporary assistance, is a restructuring of building and zoning laws to allow tiny homes or any other truly affordable homes in towns close to jobs.

“It’s discrimination under the color of law,” he said.

For more information, view Destiny’s Bridge, a documentary about Tent City available at the Ocean County library system.

For ways to help, contact Brigham at 732364-0340.

New Grant Funding Available to Assist NJ Farmers Installing Deer Fencing

NEW JERSEY – The State Agriculture Development Committee is offering a new program to provide cost-sharing grants to NJ farmers to assist with installing deer fencing on permanently preserved farms to protect against crop losses.

“Deer cause several millions dollars in crop losses each year in New Jersey,” said Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher. “Fencing can be an effective tool to prevent this, but many farmers simply cannot afford to pay the full cost.

This new program will provide matching funds to help farmers install fencing to protect their crops while furthering the public’s investment in farmland preservation by helping to maximize the agricultural productivity of the land.”

The SADC will provide 50 percent matching grants to qualifying established farmers for the cost of fencing materials and installation.

The maximum grant award is $200 per acre of preserved farmland owned or $20,000 total. The SADC will make at least $500,000 available for the program this fiscal year. The funds will be derived from a portion of the SADC’s State farmland preservation monies that are allocated to promoting stewardship activities on preserved

farms.

Applications will be ranked and prioritized for available funding based on criteria including deer density per square mile, crop type to be fenced, hunting status on the farm and adjacent properties, and farmer military status. The ranking system awards additional points to applications from military veteran farmers – those who served at any time since September 11, 2001 and were honorably discharged or released – to support veterans who are transitioning to careers in agriculture.

An application form and the SADC’s deer fencing policy are available on the SADC’s website at nj.gov/agriculture/sadc/. Applications must be received by the SADC by March 23 in order to be considered for grant funding. Funding for the deer fencing program is subject to appropriation by the Legislature.

The SADC administers New Jersey’s Farmland Preservation Program and promotes innovative approaches to maintaining the viability of agriculture. To date, more than 2,400 farms covering approximately 225,000 acres have been preserved under the State Farmland Preservation Program.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of February 25 - March 3

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A loved one can help to keep you on track in the week ahead.

You may have the urge to jump into the frying pan by buying something of dubious value or investing in something that might not turn out as planned.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Think before you act. You might briefly feel that you are in a competition with someone and jump the gun in a moment of poor judgment. In the week to come family members can help you achieve long-term goals.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can take pride a family member’s accomplishments or simply enjoy pleasant surroundings. In the week to come you might find that your home has increased in value or a new neighbor may become friendly.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make promises you can keep. You may be thrown into contact with people who say or do things on the spur of the moment. In the week ahead you should be mindful that casual assurances aren’t necessarily commitments.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take a chance on romance. Shared feelings will be obvious. Play your cards right and a new love may blossom in the week ahead. A raise or promotion can be obtained if you are persistent and choose your timing wisely.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Pan for gold. A golden nugget of information you find this week can make your money grow or a wise decision possible. You could reach a crucial turning point; a decision can cause the dominoes to tumble over.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your calendar app might not be able to keep up with last minutes changes as this week unfolds. Your attraction to exciting experiences and people can keep your dance card filled. Avoid being extravagant about purchases.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Whisper sweet nothings to get some things. Congenial communication between you and others can improve any endeavor this week. Don’t plant your feet into the ground and refuse to budge over a minor matter.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Candy is dandy but quickly consumed. It is a good idea to be cautious about purchases and investments as this week unfolds. You may fall prey to a tendency to see only what you want to see.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your energy levels may be high in the week to come. Be sure to use your extra enthusiasm to tackle worthwhile projects. You may easily be distracted by friends or aggravated by undue peer pressure.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Pay attention to advice and wise counsel from others this week as you plan for the future. You may possess the golden touch where money or purchases are concerned. Your intuitions could be highly accurate.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The bling is the thing. You might be attracted to bright shiny objects like a crow but end up with a chewing gum wrapper rather than silver. Discriminate between enduring things and false fronts this week.

A Healthy Alternative To The Classic Sticky Bun Will Make Your Morning

By Wolfgang Puck

Valentine’s Day is barely over. A month and a half after the holidays, we have finished another round of indulging ourselves with too much rich or sugary food. As a result, I know that many people now are trying to recommit to their New Year’s resolutions to eat more healthfully.

And yet, one more of what sometimes seems to be an endless parade of temptations: The food industry has declared Feb. 21 as National Sticky Bun Day! As if we need any excuse to start our mornings with sweet, warm breakfast rolls.

Of course, there are ways that you can have your sticky bun and eat it guilt-free, too. If you make the right choices, you can easily create your own baked morning treats that not only taste good but also are good for you.

Take the recipe I’d like to share for Cinnamon Swirl Honey Whole Wheat Bread. As fancy as that may sound, it’s incredibly easy to mix and bake, though it does take a few hours of waiting for the yeast to do its work making the dough rise.

The recipe’s combination of whole wheat and all-purpose flours produces a loaf that is pleasantly tender while also delivering a healthy dose of fiber with each serving. A spoonful of honey adds a subtle touch of mellow sweetness. And just a little sugar helps deliver the aromatic aroma of the ground cinnamon that is swirled through each of the two loaves produced by the recipe.

Yet, for all the satisfying pleasure the loaves provide, each serving of two 1/2-inch (12-mm) slices add up to only about 137 calories, with a mere 25 percent of those coming from fat.

Not only is the recipe delicious and healthy but it’s also versatile. If you like, you can add seedless raisins or dried cranberries or cherries, dotting them on top of the cinnamon sugar before you roll up each rectangle of dough. Some toasted chopped walnuts or slivered almonds would also be good, incorporated in the same way.

I like to toast the bread to enjoy with my morning coffee or for Sunday brunch, and it’s also good for sandwiches. Once it has cooled completely after baking, the second loaf that the recipe yields may be sealed in a freezer bag and stored in the freezer for up to several weeks, then thawed in the refrigerator before use. The dough itself can also be used to make excellent homemade pizzas or other flatbreads.

May I suggest you try preparing the recipe this Sunday when you have a few hours?

CINNAMON SWIRL HONEY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD Makes two 9-inch (22.5-cm) loaves Honey Whole Wheat Yeast Dough (recipe follows) Nonstick cooking spray 1/3 cup (80 mL) sugar 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon Prepare the Honey Whole Wheat Yeast Dough.

After the dough has rested, covered, for 10 minutes, divide it into two equal pieces. On a

lightly floured work surface and with clean hands, gently roll and shape each piece to make an even ball shape. Cover the balls with a damp kitchen towel and leave to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out each ball to form a 9-by-12-inch (22.5-by30-cm) rectangle.

Evenly spray the insides of two 9-inch (22.5cm) loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.

Lightly brush the surface of each rectangle with cold water. Starting at the nearest shorter edge of each rectangle, evenly sprinkle each piece of dough with the cinnamon-sugar mixture up to 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the opposite edge.

Starting at the nearest short edge, tightly roll up each rectangle of dough. Place one roll, seam down, in each prepared loaf pan. Cover the pans with a damp towel and leave to rise at warm room temperature until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C).

With a sharp knife, lightly score three evenly spaced diagonal slashes across the top of each loaf. Bake the loaves until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Carefully turn them out of the pans onto a wire rack to cool before slicing with a bread knife.

HONEY WHOLE WHEAT YEAST DOUGH Makes enough for two 9-inch (22.5-cm) loaves SPONGE: 1 tablespoon active dry yeast 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) lukewarm water, 80 F (27 C) 1 tablespoon honey 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour 1 cup (250 mL) whole wheat flour DOUGH: 3/4 cup (165 mL) all-purpose flour 3/4 cup (165 mL) whole wheat flour 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil First, prepare the sponge: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, stir together the yeast, water and honey until the yeast has dissolved. Stir in the all-purpose and whole wheat flours just until a soft, loose dough forms.

Cover with a clean towel and set aside at warm room temperature for 20 minutes.

To prepare the dough, add the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, the salt and the olive oil to the sponge. Fit the stand mixer with the dough hook and attach the bowl with the dough. Mix on the next-to-lowest speed for 1 minute. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Continue mixing on medium speed until the dough looks well developed and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes longer.

Remove the bowl from the mixer, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes before proceeding with the recipe for Cinnamon Swirl Honey Whole Wheat Bread.
