JACKSON SEEKS TO PROHIBIT DORMS

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – Two ordinances that would prohibit dormitories in town are seen as an affront to the Orthodox Jewish community, some of its members said to the township council February 28.

T hat even i ng t he council would have heard the ordinances, but t hey were moved to the March 14 council meeting.

Clerk A n n Mar ie Eden told council that the ordinances are required to be reviewed and approved by the planning board before council could consider adopting them. The ordinances of February 28 had not yet been reviewed. The planning board does not meet until 7:30 p.m. on

spots. The third candidate, John I. Alchevsky, received 80 votes.

There was also an u nexpi red one-year ter m on the ballot.

John W. Ryan was the on ly ca nd id ate. He won 163 votes.

The February 28 council meeting was standing room only, with dozens of Orthodox Jewish men creating a crescent around the back of the main meeting chambers. Despite

having to delay the second reading of the ordinances, several Orthodox men spoke against the ordinances, while three other residents spoke in support of it. The council at the meeting did not

offer comments on the ordinances.

Jackson Police Might See Stun Guns In 2018

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – While other police departments around the state are adding conducted energy devices – “stun guns” – to their arsenals, Jackson Township Police don’t expect to see any in use by their department until at least the end of 2017, possibly into the new year.

Lakehurst Borough’s two sergeants completed CED training and were armed with their Taser X2s in February.

Manchester Township sent off icers to the prosecutor’s mandatory CED training course, and expects its department to be using CEDs by the spring.

While Jackson’s department does not yet have CEDs, Off icer Vi ncent Rubio is a f i rear ms i nst r uctor with Jackson police and is on staff at the Ocean County Police Academy.

With 7 out of 10 people experiencing low back pain at some point in their lives and low back pain being one of the most common reasons for patient visits to primary care physicians as well as hospitalization, there is no doubt that low back pain exists in epidemic proportions today. Spinal decompression therapy can be used to treat disc bulges and herniations, disc degeneration, sciatica, spinal stenosis, arthritis, facet syndrome and chronic back pain in the low back.

Our Vax-D Spinal decompression system is FDA cleared, and has been statistically proven to relieve the pain associated with disc degeneration, herniated discs, facet syndrome and sciatica. Surgical decompression may be warranted for candidates who fail a conservative trial of Vax-D treatment.

If you have back and/or neck pain, you may be a candidate for one of our programs. At our office we will give you an honest and fair assessment of your condition and whether or not we can help you.

“Did you know that 30 million Americans suffer from back pain every day? We are the doctors of Northeast Spine and Sports Medicine, and if you suffer with lower back or leg pain, we invite you to try Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. This pain affects everything that you do, from work to play, and ultimately your quality of life.

We are here to tell you that there is hope. You can get rid of your back pain and get your life back.

Your specific condition will be evaluated by several doctors before a treatment plan is customized.

Not only do we have excellent doctors, we use advanced medical equipment. This combination is what makes all the difference.

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

“We are so confident that you will find healing and relief at our office, we will personally evaluate your condition and determine if we can help you. It’s that simple! We have opened our schedule to accept new patients, but due to demand, we are only extending this offer to the first 30 callers. Time slots fill quickly, so call today to secure your appointment.”

Dorms:

Continued From Page 1 community,” Ari Margolis said, followed by thunderous applause from the men.

He moved to Jackson last August. “That being said, as a grandchild of a survivor, I cannot be quiet. And as the grandson of someone who fought for the flag in World War II, I must speak up. The ordinance that is before us that would not allow dormitories in Jackson, I cannot see it as anything else but targeting the Jewish population. Who else in Jackson wants dormitories?”

Some of the other half dozen Orthodox men who spoke during public comment talked about being welcomed by neighbors, but used the word “insult” to describe the ordinances.

They said they came here because of the neighborhoods, because of the rural atmosphere. They said Lakewood has overcrowding and construction and traffic, but that’s not what they’re seeking with Jackson.

One man said, let an application come before the zoning board, and let them decide an individual application on its own merits without adding another layer of law, he added.

Bob Skinner, a real estate in New York City and longtime Jackson resident, said he has a large number of Jewish clients, and has no issue with anyone’s religion.

Police:

The state attorney general last year changed rules regarding CED use, making them applicable for local police use.

The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office approved their use earlier this year. The Office held training for 20 officers the last week of February.

Officers must be trained to use CEDs, and get recertified each year. An officer using a CED must either wear a body camera and use a “Taser Cam,” which records the interaction between the police and the person aggressively resisting an officer. The CED is to be used to prevent a situation from escalating where deadly force may be used.

The CED works by deploying two probes that latch onto a person’s clothi ng. T he pe r son is shocked by t he

In Jackson’s District 3, there were two people running for one, three-year term as a fire commissioner. John E. Siedler won the spot with 100 votes. Vincent Nicosia, Jr. received 90.

The budget question asked voters to approve a $3,222,205 budget, with $2,957,854

“I’ve seen a lot of changes in Jackson, and I’ve seen a lot of changes in Lakewood,” Skinner said. “Now when I go into Lakewood, I see overpopulation.

I see overbuilding. I see no regard to building. And, I see a hell of a lot of t raff ic. …I don’t want that coming here.”

Avid Schnall spoke last, and said no one wants monstrosities in their backyards and that no one is asking for that.

The group of Orthodox men attended the meeting because “they feel affronted. They feel, the residents of this town feel, the ordinance does single them out., and it does,” Schnall said.

“There’s a way to make this work for everybody. There’s a way that everybody could agree to a proper ordinance to maintain the beautiful quality of life, which attracted so many people to move here, which attracted so many to stay here, which attracted people of many generations to be here,” Schnall said.

“We want to maintain that. We should maintain that. This ordinance does not maintain that. It goes way, way, way above and beyond, and it is hurtful.”

Council closed the meeting without commenting. The ordinance was introduced at the previous council meeting, and will wait to be added to the agenda until the planning board weighs in, likely at its March 6 meeting. The next council meetings are March 14 and 28.

Some news outlets have reported that CEDs have led to injuries or death in rare cases. Amnesty International has urged even stricter limits on CEDs use. However, police said with proper training, they are a safer alternative.

Should the barbs hit a sensitive area or prove difficult to remove, the EMTs will be called in. Severe cases, although unlikely, will require a trip to the emergency room.

“We do not currently use them and the chief is seeking to have them included in one of the upcoming budgets as they are a considerable expense,” Laskiewicz said.

In Jackson’s District 4, there were five people running for two, three-year terms as fire commissioners. Wallace Jamison, 93 votes, and Raymond Torres, 96 votes, won those two spots. The other candidates were Kenneth Byrnes, 65 votes, Barry Olejarz, 53 votes, and Brian Ruditsky, 41 votes.

Voters approved the budget 108 – 75. Of the total budget of $2,096,141, $1,557,384 will be raised by taxes.

Seniors:

Continued From Page 1 until they were doing laps between the main hall of the center.

“As people age, they tend to lose speed, agility and balance,” Sandy Zarycki said.

She’s a personal trainer for land and aquatics, and is certified to teach group fitness.

While the best place for anyone, especially for seniors, is to exercise in the water – “If you fall, you just get wet” – the next best thing for seniors is weight training on land.

Since October, Zarycki has been providing strength training to the seniors at the center. The class is usually filled with women, although men are welcome. The goal is to increase range of motion and flexibility. The weights are no heavier than five pounds. Zarycki guides the students through arm and leg exercises that mimic the motions of what many younger people take for granted: reaching in the cupboard, getting off a chair.

One woman, who only wished to give her fi rst name, said she’s seen a difference since taking the classes.

“I love this class,” Mary Ann said. “The class has helped me with my arms. My arms felt like dead weight before I started the class, and since I’ve been doing it, at least I have more energy now.”

Senior Center program administrator

The Jackson Times, March 4, 2017, Page 5 Sheri Silversmith said many seniors are using the classes to fulfill New Year’s resolutions to improve health.

She said on Mondays at 9 and 10 a.m., and Thursdays at 9 a.m., the center offers a senior fitness class that includes cardio, weights, bands and assorted exercises that can be modified for most fitness levels.

There is a “move easy fitness” class each Thursday at 10 a.m. that offers seated exercises geared toward stretching and balance and meant for a lower fitness level.

The center offers Zumba Gold each Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. Zumba Gold is a higher paced cardio workout that can also be modified for most fitness levels. Silversmith said Atlantic Coast Rehab sponsors this class.

A senior aerobics class is held on Fridays at 10 a.m. that includes cardio, weights, bands and balls. Slow Flow Yoga follows at 11 a.m., which is chair and standing class – no floor exercises – meant for all fitness levels.

“It’s great that we provide so many fitness options for all different abilities. All of the classes are offered at no charge to the seniors,” Silversmith said.

The senior center is located at 45 Don Connor Blvd. The center is open to everyone age 50 and older. For more information about any of the center’s fitness programs, call 732-928-2313.

Polar Plunge Raises $1.8M For Special Olympics

–Photo by Fred Walker The beach was packed with teams for the 24th annual Polar Plunge in Seaside Heights.

By Catherine Galioto SEASIDE HEIGHTS – They came from all over New Jersey to take the plunge — a dip in the ocean to benefit Special Olympics.

All in all, an estimated 7,000 people took the dip for the 24th annual Seaside Heights Polar Plunge.

With crowds arriving around 9 a.m. to fog, the mid 50s air temperature helped to make

for one of the milder plunges in a while. The water was around 45 degrees but that didn’t stop participants.

Last year, jumpers and onlookers helped raise $1.7 million. According to organizers, this year’s plunge surpassed the goal to raise a record-breaking $1.8 million.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

eDitoRiAL Urgent Time For More Planning And Action Our area is experiencing another population boom.

But unlike the development of decades past, which spread across the area to create the suburbs, senior communities and tourist enclaves now aging in Ocean County, the most recent boom is taking place in and around Lakewood.

The 2010 Census put the population of Lakewood at 92,843. The 2000 Census for Lakewood was 60,352, and in 1990, 45,048.

To put it mildly, it has been hard for Ocean County and Howell to keep up with that growth. The roads are traffic-jammed, the infrastructure is burdened.

New residents and visitors are sharing roads that were built for neighborhoods decades ago. New traffic lights, repaved roads and other fixes don’t seem to address the quick pace needed to deal with this population boom.

U n f o r t u n a t e l y, t h e wheels of bureaucracy can’t seem to keep up.

Despite decades of local advocacy calling for the dualization of Route 9 through Ocean County, the most recent study and plans for the road do not recommend such action.

Another project is coming to put a southbound exit 83 from the Garden State Parkway onto Route 571, less than a mile south of its intersection with Route 9. Whether

this will help motorists get around or simply create a higher traffic load in that intersection, that is an answer traffic experts and engineers need to look at more finely, before the first spades break ground.

Ocean County recently approved drawing up the plans for this exit, for $1 million, and approved another traffic study focusing on the corridors of North Dover, Lakewood and Jackson.

Towns develop and update their master plans, showing where each road – whether actual or a paper street – sits. Roads that once seemed like quiet neighborhood thoroughfares are now bursting with faster moving vehicles trying to avoid the traffic-jammed main roads.

These master plans may be updated regularly, with new ordinances and revisions before town government to help match the existing and proposed development plans. Then, our local governments wade through funding requests or act to approve capital projects to improve the roads to handle their new capacity.

While such action does take time, it needs to be put higher on the priority list. Area traffic, vehicle and pedestrian safety and even simple road maintenance are all factors needing constant addressing, and will only become more important as the population boom continues.

Get Fire District Facts Straight In a letter to the editor in your February 11 paper

by Chris Crowley entitled “Vote Against Fire District Budget,” Mr. Crowley paints a very distorted picture of the Fire Department Budget Process in Toms River Township. The letter contains many inaccuracies and its tone smacks of partisan politics. It picks out snippets from the fire districts’ budget and holds them up for scrutiny by comparing them to other towns the size of “District 1,” which is not even the whole Township of Toms River.

He fails to mention that the “Total Paid Positions” he speaks of also include the Fire and EMS dispatchers, the people who answer your call on the phone 24/7 to help you when you need it.

He fails to mention that these “Total Paid Positions” also include the staff of the Bureau of Fire Prevention.

These professionals insure that the houses you live in and the businesses you shop in and the schools your children attend are safe and all up to the proper fire codes.

They also have a school education program that reaches out to the elementary school

Letters Editor children and showsTo them The they know already because were the eventual benefachow to be fire smart in their homes. They also have a senior education program to help our elderly population.

Their due diligence has been responsible for keeping the fire fatality rate so low in our town.

He fails to mention that the “Non-Bondable Assets” are for replacing fire apparatus that are approaching their life expectancy. It is not a “petty cash” account for “anything the district wants to spend it on.”

He fails to mention that the District has to pay the water company a rental fee of approximately $500 per hydrant in our town, whether they are being used or not. Take a drive around your own neighborhood and count them the next time you are out, it adds up really quickly.

He then concludes that the District “draws up their own budget, schedule their own elections in mid-winter.”

He fails to mention that the district’s budget is submitted to and scrutinized by the NJ Division of Community Affairs to ensure that they are in compliance with all budget caps and regulations, the very same agency that Mr. Crowley later urges the voter to write to ask “where the money goes.” Believe me,

they review every budget.

The reason that elections are held in February is because they are supposed to be “non-partisan” elections.

That way, hopefully, the best person is elected for the position, regardless of their political affiliation, and not some political hack voted for by some lemming that just go into the voting machine and click everyone on Row A or everyone on Row B because of their party affiliation.

Finally, the mayor does not have the power to “end the districts” and “bring them under municipal control” as Mr. Crowley suggests.

There are specific processes in the Municipal Codes of NJ which must be followed to create or disband districts.

This was done to ensure that there could be no retribution or retaliation against a district if different political parties were in power.

All the Districts meetings are open to the public. They are twice a month and the locations are always published. If you have questions I would urge you to attend one and have your questions answered. You will see there are no dark, smoke-filled back rooms where dirty deals are being done. Every meeting also has a segment where there is participation by the public. Your chance to be heard or to have your concerns addressed. The truth is out there, unfortunately it was not in Mr. Crowley’s letter to the editor, it can be found by you attending one of the Fire Commissioners Meetings.

We have many places in the Village to speak to your creative side.

If time does not allow you to be on site you may still be part of the family of Allaire Village through a Membership. Yearly Memberships are a major source of funding that allows the Village to run properly and help to finance our activities such as needed coal for the blacksmith, materials for the tinsmith & carpenter, as well as a host of other operating expenses.

Plans Advance To Study Traffic In Northern Ocean County

Freeholder Forum

by Freeholder John P. Kelly OCEA N COU NT Y – With the completion of the Route 9 corridor study and an increase in population growth, Ocean County is undertaking a study to review potential county road network improvements in the northern area of the County.

“We have had some initial meetings with representatives from Lakewood and Jackson townships,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, Director of Law and Public Safety.

“Today we are ready to bring on a consultant to perform the study that will

provide us with both short term and long term recommendations.”

The recommendations will be used to upgrade Ocean County’s countywide transportation model which was last updated in 2013.

“This is an important tool to help us with future planning when it comes to the county road network,” said Kelly, who is also liaison to the Ocean County Engineering Department.

After reviewing several proposals, Ocean County is expected to choose Stantec Consulting Services with

offices in Wall Township to oversee the study.

“Picking a consultant is key to getting this work under way,” Kelly said.

The study will focus on the traffic network in the northern area of the County.

“It’s been determined that an update to the transportation model for the northern municipalities is warranted to reflect new growth patterns,” Kelly said. “This update will be used by the County to update our long term capital improvement program.”

In addition to reviewing all traffic county data currently available from the County, the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority and the state Department of Transportation, the consultant also will look at socioeconomic data, zoning information,

planned developments, approved developments, and certificates of occupancy.

“This will be a comprehensive study that addresses growth in the northern section of the County and how it impacts the county road network,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “We need to make certain we do whatever we can to provide the best road network possible for motorists and pedestrians.”

A timeline for the study is expected to be established during the county’s first meeting with the consultant.

However, the consultant is expected to begin traffic counts by April.

“Once all this is completed we will have a comprehensive look of not just current conditions but current and future growth patterns,”

Kelly said. “This will allow us to determine our best course of future action.”

The consultant will develop forecasts for years 2025 and 2040 based on the traffic counts, the Route 9 corridor study and the updated data collected.

“The study will result in a comprehensive report including a list of action items outlining transportation hot spots,” Kelly said. “The list will be divided into short-term and long-term transportation improvements that will improve the operation of Ocean County’s transportation network within the project townships.”

Kelly noted that while the study is going on the County will continue to implement improvements in the county’s road network.

“This study will help in

long range planning,” Kelly said. “In the meantime, the County continues to do infrastructure projects that improve our roads.”

For example, Kelly noted that the County recently went out to bid for two new traffic signals in Lakewood.

The new signals will be constructed at two intersections that currently do not have traffic signals. The intersections are at New Hampshire Avenue and America Avenue and Cedar Bridge Avenue and Avenue of the States.

Besides providing for vehicular coordination at these intersections, the intersections will also have full pedestrian accommodations. Construction on the new signals is expected to take place this summer.

“The new signals will help improve traffic f low and safety,” Kelly said.

Bill Would Increase Voter Participation, Save Taxpayer Money With Fire District Elections Capitol Comments Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer 12th Legislative District, Serving Jackson

TRENTON – Assemblyman Ron Dancer wants more voters to participate in local fire district elections, and his bill to move those elections from February to November was approved by the Assembly Appropriations Committee by a 11-0 vote.

“With only 2 percent of voters participating in fire elections, the record speaks for itself,” Dancer said. “It just makes sense,

Under Dancer’s legislation (A1690), a district’s board of fire commissioners could chose to move the date of f ire district elections to November.

In addition, it eliminates vot i ng on f i re d ist r ict budgets that do not exceed the 2 percent property tax levy cap.

“We don’t want to force

this on anybody. We want to ma ke it per m issive, just like we did for the s cho ol d i st r ic t s ,” s a id Dancer.

Moody’s Upgrades Georgian Court University Rating, Citing Student Growth

LAKEWOOD – The most recent Georgian Court University rating from Moody’s Investor Services has climbed to “stable,” thanks to positive shifts in GCU’s economic stance and enrollment outlook.

The university’s stable rating is up from a previous negative outlook and takes into consideration GCU’s increased enrollment, improved cash flows, and growing partnership programs.

“The rating affirmation factors in management’s expense management initiatives as well as its short- and long-term planning, which enables the university to adapt in a highly competitive environment,” Moody’s wrote in its February 10 rating of Georgian Court.

“The rating is further supported by healthy, unrestricted financial resources and liquidity for the rating category and a low debt burden.”

The report is especially timely as GCU leaders are completing a new strategic plan to guide continued progress.

“We are very pleased that Moody’s recognizes the significant energy and effort that has gone into our recruitment and resource management processes,” said Joseph R. Marbach, Ph.D., president of GCU. “Interest in obtaining a Georgian Court degree has never been higher and will continue to grow as we expand the GCU educational footprint throughout New Jersey.”

Moody’s expects GCU to further strengthen its position financially—with stable operating cash flow and adequate debt service coverage—and through modest enrollment growth.

During Fall 2016, GCU enrolled 1,916 fulltime undergraduate and graduate students, up

from 1,735 a year earlier.

Much of the change is attributed to growing interest in master’s-degree programs for educators—especially through the GCU’s partnership with the K–12 Alliance (KTA).

More than 300 are currently taking GCU classes through KTA at GCU off-sites in Essex, Union, Somerset, Ocean, Monmouth, Middlesex, and Burlington counties. In addition, the university is seeing steady increases among transfer students and more first-time, full-time college students pursuing degrees in fields like nursing, business, biology, and exercise science.

The investment service also cited GCU’s recent $10-million facilities improvement program, which included New Jersey state bond-funded projects and university-funded upgrades to Maria Hall, the largest residence hall on campus. Moody’s also mentioned significant gains in the university’s first-year student retention rate, now at 85 percent and up from 78 percent in 2015.

“This is a very positive step in the right direction,” said Lesa Lardieri-Wright ’75, chair of the GCU Board of Trustees.

“GCU leaders, including President Marbach and CFO John Sommer, are among the many who made this happen by bringing a focused, innovative approach to the challenges, and being willing to do the hard work to make the improved outlook a reality,” she said.

“We also appreciate our GCU trustees who serve on the board’s Finance Committee— alongside GCU administration and staff—for their steady guidance and advice over the past few years.”

Solar Panel Awareness Training

–Photo courtesy Lakewood Fire District Fire fighters were given training on how to better respond to any incidents involving solar panels.

LAKEWOOD – With support from the Board of Fire Commissioners of the Lakewood Fire District and Chief of Department Mike D’Elia, Second Assistant Fire Chief Steve Mulholland arranged for a presentation on Solar Panel Awareness which was held on the evening of February 15. Trinity Solar Representatives Bill Condit and Kevin Kura delivered a wealth of knowledge to 37 members of the Lakewood Fire Department who were in attendance.

With the growing popularity of solar panel installations, this training enabled firefighters to gain a better understanding as to how these

systems operate. Most importantly, they are now better prepared to respond and handle incidents involving solar panels.

The Lakewood Fire Department has an ongoing training program and, as usual, these dedicated members of the Lakewood Fire Department took time away from their families to attend this valuable and informative presentation. The knowledge these individuals acquired will be disseminated throughout the Fire Department and enhance the safety of the firefighters as well as the Township of Lakewood community.

Public Golf Courses Tee Up With Restaurant Vendors

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY - Publicly owned golf courses in the county often have a privately owned restaurant on site. But what makes some of them more successful than others?

The answer might simply be the real estate mantra “Location, location, location.”

Atlantis County Golf Course in Little Egg Harbor, Cedar Creek in Berkeley, and Bey Lea in Toms River all have a restaurant on the premises that have had varying degrees of success.

Atlantis has hosted Cuisine on the Green for about 5 years, said Michael Mangum, director of the county’s parks and recreation department. The county took it over after some other restaurants went under.

“The restaurant business is a tough business,” he said. They had one long-term vendor who retired. Then, they went through three vendors in quick succession.

Currently, Cuisine on the Green is home to the adult program at the Ocean County Vocational-Technical School’s program to teach cooking and restaurant management. Having this here changed the entire atmosphere, he said, allowing quality food in a clean location.

Special events like food demonstrations are held there. Produce is raised by the master gardeners.

“All the problems we had with vendors were gone,” he said.

Mangum acknowledged that the restaurant is out of the way so people are not likely to see it there. However, he is hoping that word of mouth will change that. If people have a pleasant experience, and word gets around, people will realize it is worth the trip and it won’t be seen as out-of-the-way anymore.

Jared Tate, director of recreation for Toms River, said the street visibility might help with a lot of business, since it gets customers who are there just for dinner, and who did not golf.

Shogun, the restaurant on site at Bey Lea, is seen from North Bay and Oak Avenues, and by most people who are trying to bypass Hooper Avenue or go to Castle Park. It has been open for more than a decade. Representatives from Shogun did not return calls for comment.

“They invested a lot in that restaurant,” Tate said. They also have light fare offered partway

through the course.

Berkeley’s Cedar Creek Golf Course had a recent history of having a hard time landing a vendor. The township had to go out to bid several times to land a client that would be able to run the restaurant in an effective manner. Township officials wanted to make sure they could find someone who would be open when the course is open, and provide a family atmosphere.

Currently, the vendor is operating a restaurant on the site called The Creek House. The vendor had the good fortune of coming in after a great deal of rebuilding had been done to the facility.

There was a new bar installed, and an entire room remade. There will also be a refreshment cart out on the course itself.

Unfortunately, 2016 had a bit of a late start for the restaurant, since it did not obtain a liquor license until toward the end of the season, said Fred Ebenau, the township’s chief financial officer. They were also a lot of golfers who got used to there not being a vendor on site, and continue to bring their own food and drinks.

The rough 2016 will create a groundwork for a positive 2017, though, he said. The vendor is on board with the township, and both will work toward mutual success. “The more people you bring to the golf course helps us, and the more people we bring to your restaurant helps you,” he said.

When Berkeley heard that the county was using OCVTS, they looked into it as well, Ebenau said. After analyzing it, they realized that this situation would not work for Cedar Creek. “There would have been more minuses than plusses.”

They were looking at it because they had been struggling to get a vendor into the golf course restaurant for some time. The course and restaurant are at the end of the road that leads to Veterans Park, off Veterans Boulevard.

The restaurant does not have any frontage on a major road.

“A lot of people don’t even know there’s a golf course back there,” Ebenau said, let alone a restaurant. That’s why the township hired a public relations worker to help publicize it.

Signage has been installed. There is also a push to make it busy all 12 months.

JACKSON – Fire Official Frank McDonnell asks all residents and business owners “to help us help you” by removing snow from around fire hydrants located near your home or business.Keep fire lanes, emergency exit doors and walkways clear from snow and ice. The Jackson Bureau of Fire Safety No. 3 offers some additional winter fire safety tips to help you maintain a fire safe home or business this winter.

Winter Fire Safety

Wood Stove And Fireplaces Wood stoves should have adequate clearance (36”) from combustible surfaces and proper floor support.

Wood stoves should be of good quality, solid construction and design, and should be UL listed.

Have the chimney inspected annually and cleaned, especially if it has not been used for

some time.

Do not use flammable liquids to start or accelerate any fire.

Keep a glass or metal screen in front of the fireplace opening, to prevent embers or sparks from jumping out.

Don’t use excessive amounts of paper to build fires in fireplaces. It is possible to ignite the creosote buildup.

Keep flammable materials away from your fireplace mantel. A spark could easily ignite these materials.

Before going to sleep, be sure the fireplace fire is out. Never close the damper with hot ashes in the fireplace. A closed damper will help the fire to heat up again and force toxic carbon monoxide into the house.

Never discard hot ashes inside the home. Place them in a metal container outside and away from the house.

Electric Space Heaters Do not overload circuits and use extension cords the same size or larger than the appliance electrical cord.

Check to make sure that it has a thermostat and will cut off automatically if it falls over.

Do not use as a dryer or table—don’t dry clothes or store objects on top of the heater.

Give space heaters space. Keep combustibles at least three feet away.

Avoid using electrical space heaters in areas where they may come in contact with water Furnace Heating It is important that the furnace is inspected to ensure that it is in good working condition.

Inspect the walls and ceiling near the furnace and along the chimney line. If the wall is hot or discolored, additional pipe insulation or clearance may be required.

Check the flue pipe and pipe seams. Are they well supported and free of holes and cracks?

Soot along or around seams may be an indicator of a leak.

Is the chimney solid, with cracks or loose bricks? All unused flue openings should be sealed with solid masonry.

Keep trash and other combustibles away from the heating system.

Finally…

Plan and practice a home escape plan with the family.

Be sure the home has working carbon monoxide detector especially when using fuel fired appliances.

Having a working smoke alarms installed on every level of the home dramatically increases chances of survival. Smoke alarm batteries need to be tested every month and changed with new ones at least once a year. Consider replacing the entire smoke alarm every 10 years, or as the manufacturer guidelines recommend.

Contact Fire Official Frank McDonnell to receive a free battery smoke detector 732-9281666, ext. 14 or email fmcdonnell@jacksonfiredist3.or.

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

Healthy Hearing Calls For A Healthy Diet To celebrate Women’s Hearing Health Week, here are some simple, easy-todigest elements that can help satisfy both your hunger and your hearing health.

Omega-3 fats: Found in fish and seafood, these “good” fats have been linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and may help maintain cochlear blood flow. It’s been shown that a lack of blood supply to the cochlea (the auditory portion of the inner ear) can cause reduced auditory sensitivity and hearing loss.

Antioxidants: We once thought that loud noise damaged hearing by destroying the sensory hair cells in the ear. However, recent studies have found that noise exposure damages sensory cells by creating free radicals — damaging molecules known to cause cell death. This damage to the sensory cells can be prevented by consuming antioxidants, because they work to prevent free-radical damage.

Folic acid: Folate is naturally found in food, whereas folic acid is manmade from folate. This B vitamin is proven to help prevent high-frequency hearing loss. Folic acid decreases the amount of the amino acid homocysteine in your blood by increasing the creation of red blood cells. Too much homocysteine causes hearing difficulty by reducing blood flow to the inner ear.

Magnesium: Magnesium has been

used as a treatment for both temporary and permanent noise-induced hearing loss. It improves blood flow around the cochlea and is an important factor in the body’s major antioxidant defense enzyme systems.

Zinc: A zinc deficiency is sometimes correlated with age-related hearing loss. The soft tissues of the cochlea and vestibule reveal a zinc level higher than that of any other part of the body.

With zinc supplementation in patients who are marginally zinc deficient, there has been improvement in tinnitus and sensorineural hearing loss in about onethird of elderly adults.

Vitamin C: This keeps free radicals in check and strengthens your overall immune system, thus reducing the risk of ear infections. It is also said to help protect against cardiovascular disease, which recent research has connected with hearing loss.

Vitamin D: Vitamin D deficiency causes a low bone-mineral density in the tiny bones of the ears, which can lead to hearing loss and even deafness.

Thankfully, fixing the vitamin D deficiency often corrects the hearing loss.

Hearing health is whole-body health.

A balanced diet is a great way to get all of the vitamins and nutrients listed here. If you have questions about your hearing health or more preventive measures, contact your hearing professional.

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

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

Give Your Loved One A Healing Bouquet Of Flowers

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

For gifts for loved ones, I know most of us ladies want some chocolate. I love chocolate myself, the darker the better.

You don’t need me to tell you about the health benefits of dark chocolate, there are probably 100 posts about it being uploaded as I write this. So this year, I am thinking outside the Moonstruck box!

Let’s consider another traditional standby, flowers. Not just any flowers, flowers with medicinal power. You see, many of these beautiful and sweet-smelling plants are also powerful healers that deserve a place on your natural medicine cabinet. You can put together a healing ‘bouquet’ of remedies made out of flowers. It’s creative and sure to win a special space in your Valentine’s heart, especially if he or she is into health and wellness. Here are some ideas to build your bouquet: Chamomile. This is a sweet little white flower with a big yellow center that, when dried and steeped as tea, is also a widely-hailed sedative. Add a box of chamomile tea, to help you and your Valentine unwind and fall asleep together.

Echinacea. This popular garden plant is hardy and has great antiviral properties.

It is known to help you reduce symptoms and shorten the duration of colds and flu.

A 2015 study by researchers in the Czech Republic found that a hot drink made of Echinacea extracts was as effective as Tamiflu at reducing flu symptoms, with far fewer side effects.

Roses. Consider rosewater, which is created when rose petals are steam distilled. The end result is a beautiful smelling rose toner that I use to spritz my face… like all the time! Rose hips have anti-inflammatory properties, so in addition to smelling divine, it’s good for reducing facial redness, whether from acne, rosacea, cold weather or dry skin.

Rose hips. Rose hips are the fruit of rose bushes and these little scarlet, globe-shaped beauties are packed with vitamin C! I keep them right beside the stove, and steep 2 teaspoons to the water which I use for green tea. It adds a strong antioxidant boost and makes my skin more youthful. You can buy dried rose hips at most health food stores and online.

Lavender is a tiny purple flower that packs a healing punch. Put a half cup in the middle of a pretty handkerchief and tie up the ends to make your Valentine a sachet. At night, take a shower and sprinkle some of the essential oil onto your shower floor. A 2015 study found that dialysis patients reported a significant reduction in needle insertion pain over patients who had no intervention or who received a placebo.

So go make your lover a beautiful bouquet, and choose your flowers wisely based upon their medicinal purpose.

Students, Administration Agree To ‘Stockton Safe’

GALLOWAY – Student leaders, Stockton University President Harvey Kesselman, Executive Vice President Susan Davenport and members of the Cabinet agreed that the university is “Stockton Safe,” providing a safe zone for all students, faculty, and staff regardless of immigration status.

“The university, to the fullest extent permitted by law, protects the identity and information of all members of the community,” said President Harvey Kesselman.

“We had a very productive meeting and came to a consensus about what will be most beneficial for the students. I thank Dr. Kesselman for allowing us to be part of this process and I am confident for a brighter future for Stockton University,” said Ike Ejikeme student Board of Trustee

alternate.

“Historically, colleges and universities have been presented with the opportunity to stand for at-risk students during times such as the Fugitive Slave Act or Japanese internment. Many have failed. Today, as a result of the students’ voice, Stockton took a step in the right direction to protect our own,” said Kaltoum Alibrahimi, an Anthropology major.

“This movement is a sway against strong currents in uncertain waters. This is a sway in the right direction. Let Stockton Safe set the standard to embody the people, the voice and the heart of this institution to do what is just in times of adversity,” said Mahalia Bazile, president of Unified Black Students Society.

“Today reflected the power and persistence of students to make sure that

not only are their concerns being heard, but that they successfully mobilized to achieve significant commitments for the protection of their peers regardless of their life experiences or immigration status,” said Maryam Sarhan, president of Stockton Student Senate. “At its very core, this has, and always should be, a matter of safety, and the unequivocal support for the inalienable rights to dignity, respect and access to a quality education for all.”

“I have always been a proud member of the Stockton community, but I am especially proud today after participating in the first steps to defending the rights of all students regardless of status,” said Theresa McMackin, vice president of Stockton STAND. “Stockton has always been a community of inclusion and sol-

idarity, and our effort to introduce the Stockton Safe initiative only solidifies that commitment to our values.”

The group met in response to a Student Senate resolution regarding protections for undocumented students.

After extensive discussions, the group agreed to align Stockton with the actions of the New Jersey Legislature, which this week passed resolutions affirming that college campuses should “continue to serve as a safe zone and resource center for students and their families threatened by immigration enforcement or discrimination.”

The group agreed to a series of protections, many of which are already in place for those who are undocumented, along with measures to educate the community about immigration rights.

Lakewood Alumni Association To Host Hall Of Fame Luncheon And Scholarship Fundraiser LAKEWOOD – The Alumni Association of Lakewood High School, a 501(c)(3), is hosting its 23rd Annual Hall of Fame Luncheon and annual scholarship fundraiser on May 21 at Woodlake Country Club, New Hampshire Avenue, beginning at noon. Lunch entrees include prime rib, Chicken Francaise, or herb encrusted salmon. Kosher meals are available upon request.

The Lakewood High School Alumni Association, formed in 1992, provides annual

scholarships to graduating seniors and funds to help high school projects. Membership in the LHS Alumni Association is open to all former graduates, attendees, and educators.

Last year, the Alumni Association raised close to $27,000 and awarded 24 scholarships, ranging from $200 to $2,500.

Former graduates, such as the Friedlander Family, Dale Reese Foundation, and the Rotary contribute annually to the scholarships. Nancy Rogers, the Alumni Associa-

tion president, said, “I remember our first year. We gave one scholarship for $250!”

The 2017 Hall of Fame honorees are Linda Frazier Brown, Class of ’68, educator; Wayne H. Matthews, Class of ’60, educator and former Ella G. Clarke principal; Donna Waldman Wallenthin, Class of ’60, nurse and volunteer for eye surgery on children in poor countries; Samuel Warm, Class of ’37, CPA and veteran; Dr. Michael Weinreb, Class of ’56, scientist with national weather systems; and Robin

Taylor Wellet, Class of ’72, entrepreneur.

Alumni Hall of Fame honorees are selected based on community service, excellence in a given field, volunteerism, and business and professional achievements.

The nominee must have been out of school for a minimum of 20 years.

Tickets, which much be purchased in advance, cost $40 each.

For tickets or more information, contact Nancy Rogers at 732-657-2761 or nancier2@aol.com.

Driving A Stake Through Anti-Abortion Bills How often do alleged conservatives, who trumpet small government and noninvolvement in one’s personal affairs, continue to maintain that anti-abortion legislation “saves lives”?

Really? How about the women, desperate to end an unwanted pregnancy for whatever reasons and control their own personal reproductive lives, who will resort to any means wind up in hospitals with severe complications?

Why is it always men legislating what women do with their bodies? What would they do with women whose pregnancies result from rape? incest? failure of contraceptives? serious medical issues that could cost women their lives?

Services, including abortion and contraceptive counseling, are provided at low or

minimal cost to those who need them the most. They get additional health care, cancer screening services, mammograms and more.

All of that is what is being defunded.

Rep. Smith, quoted in the article, is a wellknown abortion opponent, and the Marist poll cited is from a Catholic organization.

The nonpartisan Guttmacher Institute has consistently found overwhelming support for keeping abortion “safe, legal and rare.”

Providing contraceptive knowledge is the single best guarantee that there will be fewer abortions. Yet that is also what is being defunded.

The same drive to repeal the Affordable Care Act will also adversely affect women’s health as pre-existing conditions (pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases) will no longer be covered.

Where is the same passion for increasing access to health care for all women? For a drive to increase adoptions and quality foster care for born children?

One would hope that by now 238 Representatives would have learned that their actions have serious and sad consequences for women.

Susan Addelston Jackson

“There Is No God, And I Hate Him” On the Rev. Pat Robertson show (The 700 Club), the televangelist stated that “all children are born with a predisposition to believe in God.” People believe in god(s) because they are taught from childhood to do so long before the age of reason, just as children are taught to believe in Santa Claus. As any delivery room doctor will attest, babies don’t emerge from their mother’s womb with Protestant, Catholic, or “other” imprinted on their forehead.

The Reverend also went on to say that the existence of God is obvious, if you just take

the time to look. If there’s anything that’s obvious, it’s obvious the existence of God is not obvious. There would be no “does God exist” debate if the question were one of fact.

If it were, atheists would have been put out of business.

As for me, I cannot believe in anything my reason and common sense tell me is clearly untrue; a woman being made out of a man’s rib, pregnant virgins, people walking on water, talking snakes, walking cadavers – really!

Perhaps Gertrude Stein was right, however, when she said: “There ain’t no answer. There ain’t going to be any answer. There never has been an answer. That’s the answer.”

When agnostic Robert Ingersoll was once asked his view on the question of God’s existence, he simply replied: “I do deny – I do not know, but I do not believe. To me, the invisible and the nonexistent look very much alike Borden Applegate Jackson

NEW JERSEY – Attorney General Christopher S. Porrino announced that online children’s clothing retailer Shan and Toad has agreed to drop its policy of not offering refunds – only store credit or merchandise exchange – to shoppers from two specific NJ communities.

According to Porrino, Shan and Toad agreed to rescind an advertised policy that excluded from refund eligibility any returns originating from addresses in Lakewood and Passaic – two communities that contain large populations of Orthodox Jews.

Shan and Toad agreed to drop its exclusion of Lakewood and Passaic buyers from refund eligibility after two agencies within the Attorney General’s Office – the Division on Civil Rights and the Division of Consumer Affairs – contacted the retailer to advise that

it appeared to be in violation of state anti-discrimination and consumer protection laws.

Under the settlement, Shan and Toad has per manently eliminated the old policy of not offering refunds to buyers from Lakewood and Passaic, and agreed to develop and publicize a revised return policy. The new policy, according to an Assurance of Voluntar y Compliance (AVC) agreement signed recently by the company, must avoid any imposition of “more restrictive conditions” on certain customers because of where they live if it has the “effect of discriminating based on any protected class … such as religion.”

“This settlement sends a clear message to on-line and mail-order sellers that red-lining – i.e., treating customers from certain areas less favorably based simply on their address -- is not acceptable in NJ when it has the effect of discriminating against people based on their faith or any other protected category,” said Attorney General Porrino.

As part of the agreement announced, the State has imposed a $10,000 suspended penalty against Shan and Toad.

The suspended penalty will be vacated within a year unless Shan and Toad is found to have violated the settlement terms during that time.

Under the settlement, Shan and Toad makes no admission of wrongdoing.

Division on Civil Rights Investigator Elise Olgin and Division of Consumer Affairs Chief Investigator Laurie Goodman handled the Shan and Toad matter on behalf of the State.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Get Over It

Dear Joel, I have been married to a wonderful man for nearly 13 years. We are both in our mid 30s. Our beautiful child ren are now 12, 9 and 4. I will say that in these times I would consider us to be a healthy family.

Here is my problem. My husband enjoys doing feminine things as hobbies. He likes to do needlepoint, knit and takes over the kitchen with cooking and baking. It is very embarrassing when he starts to speak to friends or in social circles about his hobbies. The children too are embar rassed when friends come over and see his odd behavior. I don’t know how to tell him to stop.

Answer: Clearly, this isn’t the f i r st t i me I have hea rd si m ila r stories. I have always wondered why when walking into a bakery, the baker is almost always a male.

Although there are seamstresses,

most t ailors are men as well. Why is it that when men have these occupations it seems perfectly fine, but always odd at home? There are no rules saying that a man can’t cook, bake or sew at home. I would count my blessings in this case. You say that you have a wonderful husband and three beautiful kids. Additionally, you can actually help the situation by taking up the same hobbies as his. I promise you it will make a good marriage even better. As long as he isn’t leaving all the cleaning to you, leave well enough alone Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of MArch 4 - march 10

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When someone tries to rattle your cage you may be tempted to rattle back. You’ll get the most satisfaction from visiting new places and meeting people in the upcoming week, but may be reckless about risks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Direct your energy. An organized plan of action can lead to accomplishment in the week ahead. You may be wiser than usual when dealing with financial matters and more skillful in complicated negotiations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The best things in life always take time. Tame your impatience in the week to come. The object of your affection can serve as a calming influence. An informal chat with a colleague could dissolve misunderstandings.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Two’s company, three’s a crowd. It may be difficult to spend quality time alone with someone you love in the week ahead because there are too many others begging for attention. Remain devoted to a relationship.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do your own thing.

Your friendly outgoing manner could attract new people and friends. You might be able to slip out from behind the bars that block your freedom and act independently in the week to come.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s time to clear the air. There is a tendency to appear too serious when playfulness is in order and vice versa. Someone who seems to want sympathy might not appreciate your helpfulness in the week ahead.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be surrounded by energetic go-getters. You can feed off their positive energy without engaging in unnecessary risks. Don’t expect too much, too soon, from a potential romantic hookup this week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take your time. Avoid becoming involved in trivialities and keep focused on your most important goals in the week ahead. You may incur unnecessary expenses in the upcoming week that you regret later.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A spoonful of sugar can be addictive. Be sweet and charming to please a special someone or use your people skills to smooth out a business transaction. You may receive public notice in the week ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Avoid sending mixed signals. In group settings you may overreach the limits of your authority and may end up as the odd man out in the week ahead. Mind your own business, not other people’s business.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Concentrate on building a solid framework for a lasting relationship in the week ahead. No matter what your objective or whether you are a workaholic or a homebody, two heads will be better than one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There is a New Moon in your sign today. This may offer a subtle change of direction as the week unfolds.

Your social skills are in tiptop condition so you’ll have no trouble developing new contacts and connections.

Win The Title Of Best Snack At Your Next Party

By Wolfgang Puck

Chips and dips are a favorite treat for any occasion. But most people put no more effort into them than a quick trip to the convenience store, followed by opening a bag and removing the lid from a jar. So, why should you go to the trouble of making them yourself?

First of all, it isn’t that much trouble. If you own an inexpensive electric countertop deep fryer, or just a heavy pot and a clip-on deep-frying thermometer to help you regulate the temperature, you have all the specialized equipment you need. (Although, a mandoline, a very reasonably priced manually operated slicing tool or a food processor will make it easier to slice the potatoes easily and uniformly for even cooking.)

But the main reason to do it yourself is the result you get. The beautiful chips have incomparable golden crispness and deep potato flavor; and the dip tastes rich, creamy and tangy like nothing that comes from a jar.

Please give the recipe a try for any special occasion.

HOMEMADE POTATO CHIPS WITH WARM BLUE CHEESE DIP Serves 4 to 6 WARM BLUE CHEESE DIP: 2 1/4 cups (610 mL) whole milk 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Pinch cayenne pepper, optional 8 ounces (250 g) organic blue cheese, such as Roquefort or Maytag blue, crumbled POTATO CHIPS: 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) baking (Idaho) potatoes, peeled Peanut oil, for deep frying Kosher salt 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, for garnish First, make the warm blue cheese dip: In a medium saucepan, heat the milk almost to a boil over medium heat. Meanwhile, in another saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.

Stirring with a wire whisk, gradually sprinkle in the flour, whisking until smooth. Cook, while whisking steadily, for 5 minutes, until the mixture forms a thick but still pale paste, a roux.

To prepare a bechamel sauce, while whisking the roux continuously, slow pour in 2 cups of the hot milk. Raise the heat slightly and, still stirring, bring to a boil. Adjust the heat to maintain a bare simmer. Season with salt and pepper - and, if desired, a hint of cayenne.

Cook, stirring frequently, until creamy, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the potatoes: Using a mandoline resting securely over a bowl of cold water, cut the potatoes into wafer-thin slices no more than 1/16-inch thick; or use the thin slicing disc on your food processor, or very carefully slice the potatoes with a sharp knife, putting the slices in the water. Let the potatoes to soak for a few minutes.

While the potatoes soak, fill an electric deep fryer or a large, heavy pot with at least 4 inches (10 cm) of the oil. Heat the oil to 360 F (180 C) on the deep-fryer’s thermostat or on a deep-frying thermometer.

While the oil heats, drain the sliced potatoes in a colander. Using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, pat the slices until all of them are completely dry on both sides.

When the oil is hot, cook the potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding separating the slices with your fingers as you add them potatoes carefully to the oil - until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. With the deep-fryer basket or a long-handled skimmer, transfer the potato chips to paper towels to drain.

Immediately season with salt.

Whisk the remaining hot milk into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

Add 6 ounces (185 g) of the cheese, stirring until it melts. Remove the pan from the heat. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if necessary.

Arrange the chips in shallow bowls.

Drizzle some of the sauce over them, transferring the remainder to a separate bowl or sauceboat to serve separately for dipping. Garnish the chips with the remaining crumbled cheese and the chives. Serve immediately.
