Manchester Chooses Electric Savings Deal
By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – The Township Council signed a deal with a third party energy company that would reduce the cost of most residents’ electric bills over the course of the next two years. The deal comes from something called energy aggregation. Basically, it means that the electricity coming through the wires will be coming from a different company than Jersey Central Power and Light. Every electric bill has two different charges: one

for electricity and one for the delivery of the electricity. The deliver y, which includes
the maintenance of the power lines, will still be JCP&L’s responsibility. (Deal - See Page 5)

County Tax Rate Might See Small Decrease
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Spending is up, but so is the number of new homes to share in the tax burden, so the county’s tax rate will likely go down 1/10 of a cent for 2017. The $407,919,144
budget was introduced by the Ocean County Freeholders. It includes an increase of about $7.9 million. The tax rate will go down from 35.3 cents per $100 of assessed valuation to 35.2 cents. “Now, this is not a big amount, and nothing
to gloat about, but it is a move down, a move i n the r ig ht di rection,” said Freeholder John Bartlett. The tax base is still down $12 billion from 2008 levels, according to county figures. Tax (Tax Rate - See Page 7)

–Photos by Jennifer Peacock Summit Park, a neighborhood off Route 37 East in Manchester, may get some of its sidewalks and curbs updated if the township gets a $40,000 community development block grant. By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Summit Park needs some updates. Manchester Township is seeking a community development block grant to replace old sidewalk and handicap ramps at Summit Park, a neighborhood off Route 37 East by the Toms River and Lakehurst borders. The neighborhood has about 140 homes built in the 1960s. Summit Park is one of the few places within the township that has sidewalks and curbs, many of which
have seen upgrades through the years, specifically in 1995, 2002 and 2009, Manchester official Al Yodakis told The Manchester Times. Yodakis, the director of public works, said the township is requesting a $40,000 Community Development Block Grant to make those upgrades. “…[S]ome sections are still quite old and have deteriorated,” he said. Federally, CDBGs are provided through the U.S. Department of (Upgrades - See Page 4)
Wells Around Joint Base Still A Concern
By Jennifer Peacock JOINT BASE – Joint Base Maguire-Dix-Lakehurst sent representatives to Jackson to discuss the current findings of contamination in wells in municipalities around the base. Jackson Mayor Michael Reina invited JBMDL officials to Christa McAuliffe Middle School on February 28 to share information on the contamination and cleanup of Perfluorinated Compounds.
Several dozen residents attended and were able to speak to military and health personnel. Of the 100 wells tested thus far, three came back with elevated levels of the PFCs Perfluorooctanoic Acid and Perfluorooctane Sulfanate, two compounds found in everyday household items such as nonstick cookware, stain resistant carpet and fabrics, and specialized foam, which was used on the base for years and which officials said likely
led to the groundwater contamination. The specialized foam was used since 1970 by the Air Force to extinguish petroleum fires. However, by the end of 2017, the Air Force plans to move away from using it, and will instead use a foam with even fewer Perfluorinated Compounds. A $6.2 million contract was awarded to ICL Performance Products last August for the new foam. (Concern - See Page 4)

Page 4, The Manchester Times, March 11, 2017 the wells were near the base in Manchester, and one in Jackson, again, by the base. The two homes in Manchester had water filtration systems installed, at the base’s cost. The home in Jackson is receiving bottled water until a permanent remedy is found, either installing the filtration system or, if possible, hooking the home to city water. Members are the press were not granted one-on-one interviews with military personnel during the open house on February 28, but could ask some questions while monitored by a JBMDL public affairs official. About $3 million has been spent on this
cleanup thus far, most of that having gone to base cleanup, one official said. Two backup wells on the base exceeded EPA health ranges; those backup wells were used for a brief time in December, and had tested below those health ranges. The wells, 5 and 9, are part of the main water system on the base and serve about 3,000 who live and work there. The wells will be kept offline until treatment systems are upgraded and more testing is completed. The February 27 press release about these wells did not indicate what may have caused the unhealthy increase between October and now.
Despite the military reaching out to homes around its perimeter in Jackson, Manchester, Pemberton and New Hanover townships, many residences have still not been tested for PFCs. The military bears all testing and mitigation costs; however, some officials speculated that homeowners may not want to have to deal with the fallout of a contaminated well, even a remedied one, should they ever sell their homes. “As we will evaluate all of the data continuously and make decisions on expanding areas or resampling based on the data,” Chris Powell, TSgt, USAF, said after the open house.
Housing and Urban Development. Municipalities not eligible for grants or loans directly through HUD can apply through the state. The township will be applying for the grants through Ocean County. The NJ Recovery and Reinvestment web page, which details CDBGs, explains that funds can be used for “public facilities,
community revitalization, housing rehabilitation and innovative development leveraging private investments.” While urban areas get money directly from the federal government, other municipalities must go through a competitive bid process. “Applications that meet the basic requirements of the program will be scored based on municipal distress, readiness to proceed, balance ratio (the remaining balance of grant awards received in a funding category over a three-year period
and including all open grants), and past performance,” the program website said. Grants are awarded in September. If the township does get the grant money, work will begin in the fall or next spring or summer, Yodakis said. While it’s unknown at this point, the work may be contracted out, he added. The township has benefitted from CDBG in the past as well. The Cheer Barn, the centerpiece of Pop Warner Football Complex off Route 571, will have ventilation installed
with CDBG money, as was reported by The Manchester Times back in January. “Refurbishing the cheer barn will be a huge benefit to AYF and the township. We now have a place to run programs,” Mayor Kenneth Palmer said in January. “It’s definitely a win for the entire town.” The township was able to install the playground at Harry Wright Lake through CDBGs. Schoolhouse Road and Route 530 sidewalks were also installed with that grant money.

There are no federal regulations regarding PFCs: the EPA established lifetime health advisory levels of 70 parts per trillion for two of these compounds, PFOA and PFOS, individually or combined, in drinking water. “New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection have established an interim specific ground water criterion for Perfluorononanoic Acid (PFNA) of 10 ppt,” according to JBMDL literature.

Deal:
Continued From Page 1 That portion of the bill won’t change. However, the cost of the electricity will be coming from a less expensive third party. The electricity will be coming from a company called TriEagle Energy, a company headquartered in Texas. It will be a 24-month contract, for 7.99 cents per kilowatt hour. It will be a fixed rate. It is 20 percent lower than the current JCP&L rate, and 15.5 percent lower than what the JCP&L rate will likely be when it changes in June, said Robert Chilton, executive vice president of Gabel Associates, the consulting firm retained by Manchester to work on this deal. The only thing that could change that rate is if there is a government regulation that impacts the energy company, and they would pass that charge on to consumers, Chilton said. Those kinds of regulations would also be in effect for JCP&L electricity customers. “It’s almost certainly the lowest rate for any town in New Jersey in the JCP&L area,” he said. There are about a dozen other towns in New Jersey that use TriEagle, he said. They are ranked very highly internationally as a business. TriEagle had provided three different bids. One was for 24 months. One was for 18 months. The one for 12 months was actually the cheapest deal, providing a rate of 7.694 cents per kilowatt hour. It would have been 23 percent lower than the current JCP&L rate. Councilman Sam Fusaro said he did not want to go for a 12-month rate because there was a risk that it could go up at the end of those 12 months. It was safer to get a locked down rate for two years. This will impact residents a great deal, Fusaro said. Some neighborhoods in town are not hooked up to gas. They have electric heat and stoves. Based on an average energy bill, the entire township could collectively save $3.5 million. It would apply to approximately 21,000 residential customers who are not currently using solar panels or another third party energy company, officials said. The decision was made at a special meeting held at 2 p.m. on February 28. The bids from the energy company were opened at 10 a.m. Chilton then looked over the bids and made a presentation to the council. Even though the Township Council met again later that night for their regular meeting, they needed to have a special meeting before the close of business, Fusaro said. Energy rates fluctuate so often that the deal had to be signed on the same day that the bids were opened. There were about 15 residents at the meeting. A few of them came up and asked questions about the procedure. People asked how residents would know if paperwork from TriEagle is a legitimate letter and not one of the many ads they get as junk mail every month. Officials said the material will have the Manchester Township seal on it. Mayor Ken Palmer asked if TriEagle would ever subcontract the energy out to
The Manchester Times, March 11, 2017, Page 5 yet another third party company. Chilton said that Manchester would have to approve any change. Council members asked about the fee for Chilton’s company, Gabel Associates. They are earning a fee of .00042 cents per kilowatt hour. That figure is coming out of the TriEagle bill and will not come from residents or from the township. Even the township’s legal fees and other costs associated with doing business will be covered by TriEagle. Councilman Charles Frattini was still not sold on the process. He was the lone no vote. Craig Wallis, Fusaro, and James Vaccaro voted yes. Frattini said his main opposition was that residents were automatically included unless they opted out. He said that all residents should be given a choice at the beginning. They should have to opt in instead of opting out. “Businesses have to opt in, and I can’t figure out why residents have to opt out,” he said. He did not want residents to be locked into a service they did not want only because they did not opt out during the period of time they were allowed. “I appreciate the savings, but the ancillary problems have to be resolved before I vote for it,” he said. Chilton said that people have to opt out in the contract to get a better deal from electric companies. The benefits for the companies bidding on this contract come from bulk, so if the township has a large number of people automatically opted in, then the companies can make better offers to the town. Companies would not know how to bid without knowing the number of residents that would be customers. “The opt-out model is the best way to get low prices.” Wallis admitted he was skeptical going into the process, but after seeing the savings, he was a supporter of the program. Vaccaro thanked former Councilman Brendan Weiner for his work on this project. Weiner stepped down from the council recently because he was moving out of town. Requests for proposals were sent to about 80 licensed electrical power suppliers in JCP&L territory, Chilton said. Many of them replied. Of these, four companies’ bids were shown to be qualified: TriEagle, Constellation New Energy, IDT Energy, and South Jersey Energy, A Lengthy Process The township began looking into energy aggregation in 2013, Fusaro said. For a while, they were working with other towns to get a group discount. Stafford Township had initiated it, and Manchester and Lacey jumped on board. Manchester later left the deal. Fusaro explained after the meeting that Manchester wanted certain language written into the contract, and Stafford didn’t want it. If the JCP&L rate dropped below the rate offered by the third party, Manchester wanted to be able to renegotiate their contract, Fusaro said. They wanted language in the contract that they would have 14 days to negotiate a better deal in case this happened. If not, the contract would be null and void. The Stafford contract did not have this, but Manchester’s contract with TriEagle does. (Deal - See Page 7)

Tax Rate:
Continued From Page 1 valuation measures the entire assessments of all property in the county. This figure is up 2.78 percent, from $94.5 billion in 2016 to $97.1 billion in 2017. Some of this is replacement construction from Superstorm Sandy. Some of it is new construction. It will help the county’s tax revenue to increase by 8.3 million. So, the new tax revenue is greater than the spending increase, and therefore the tax rate goes down. What’s in the budget There were no big ticket items in this year’s budget, Bartlett said. The main costs come from inflation. Most departments remained at or below a 2 percent increase. Two departments that fell out of that were the prosecutor’s office and engineering. Between bail reform, which has increased the hours of officials in the prosecutor’s office, and the drug epidemic, that department needed more funding, he said. The prosecutor’s office increased by 3.2 percent,

The Manchester Times, March 11, 2017, Page 7 or about $500,000. The engineering department saw increases due to the increased construction in the northern section of the county, he said. The proposed budget includes 2 percent increases in the county’s contributions to Ocean County College and the Ocean County Vocational Technical School system. The college’s appropriation will be $15.2 million, up $297,000 and the vo-tech will receive $18.3 million, up $358,293. In addition, about $25 million will be appropriated to maintain the county’s infrastructure. “We build a budget the opposite way of most governments,” Bartlett said. “Most look at what they need and then raise taxes to get there. The county asks “What are our resources? What do we have to spend? What’s the tax rate ought to be?” Then, we take a prudent amount from surplus. Then, the department heads are given a number that they have to work within.” It was a “model budget,” providing the things people want, while still seeing a reduction, he said.
were only offered a 10 percent reduction. So, they will go out to bid another time in the future. Lacey, meanwhile, signed with South Jersey Energy, which was able to provide a 13 percent reduction for 20 months, starting April 1. Their price will be $0.08655 per kilowatt hour, said Lacey’s Business Administrator Veronica Laureigh.
Surplus and bonding Bartlett said the County’s surplus in 2017 is $51.7 million. The proposed budget includes $20.2 million from surplus. The county’s major capital projects continue to be bonded over the course of decades. The county borrows $25-30 million a year, and pays off $25-30 million in bonds every year, he said. However, why bother borrowing when there’s money in the bank? Why pay interest on loans? “You use an amount of surplus that operations can replenish in a year,” he said. “You have to be judicious in your use of surplus. Once you spend it, it’s gone.” Part of the surplus consideration came from bond ratings. The county has a Aaa bond rating. This is a standard set by Moody’s, an independent company that rates financial markets. The rating determines what kind of risks investors have. The county’s rating, Aaa, is the highest, which means that investors have very little risk investing in Ocean County. The benefit for investors is that they know they will get their money back. The benefit for the county is lower interest payments. In order to keep
this rating, one thing the county has to do is keep surplus equal to at least 10 percent of the total budget. “If you took more than you replace,” eventually you would have to raise taxes, he said. It allows the tax rate to be more stable, instead of dropping it one year and raising it the next. “We are not going to have a roller coaster rate.” The other philosophy has to do with how long it takes bonds to pay off. It has to be for something that will be used for about as long as it takes to pay off. Road projects, for example, are useful for years. “It only makes sense that the future help pay for it,” he said. “If you paid cash, you would have to raise that money or you run out of surplus. It’s a foolish way to run a government,” he said. “I don’t like personal debt, but public debt is different.” In related news, the tax rates for the Ocean County Library and the Health Department will be flat in 2017. The public hearing and adoption is expected at the meeting held at 4 p.m. on April 5.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER What Solution Does Senate Offer On Affordable Housing S-2216 legislation is a very well thought out modification of New Jersey’s Affordable Housing program for both those needing assistance and the 565 property-tax burdened municipalities. This bill has been languishing in the Senate since May 2016. On February 13, Senate President Sweeney and other Senators once again removed it from the agenda, refusing to take on their responsibility to address the issue that impacts every resident of NJ.
If NJ Senate President Sweeney does not wish to act on this legislation, what affordable housing plan does he have to offer to the citizens of NJ? If he has no plan, I ask him to bring Senate, No.2216 back onto the agenda for a vote! If this bill is approved, the affordable housing program could move forward, benefiting all the citizens of NJ without significantly increasing our property tax burden.

What Would Jesus (Not) Eat March 1 marks the beginning of Lent, the 40-day period preceding Easter, when many Christians abstain from animal foods in remembrance of Jesus’ 40 days of fasting in the wilderness before launching his ministry. The call to refrain from eating animals is as old as the Bible. In Genesis 1:29, God commands humans to eat only plants; then Prophet Isaiah predicts that “none will hurt or destroy on God’s holy mountain.” A number of Christian leaders have followed the call, including Methodist founder John Wesley, Salvation Army founders William and Cather ine Booth, Seventh-day Adventist Church founder Ellen G. White, and prominent evangelical leader Franklin Graham. A meat-free diet is not just about Christian devotion. Dozens of medical studies have linked consumption of animal products with elevated risk of heart failure, stroke, cancer, and other killer diseases. A United Nations report named meat production as the largest source of greenhouse gases

Anything Goes Before Zoning Board It is my understanding that a township variance board’s task is to examine a development or home improvement that is being stopped by township ordnances and see if there is a hardship to the owner. Unfortunately, in my opinion this is not the case in Toms River, where anything goes. The Town Council spends money to make ordinances to lot size and setbacks, and the variance board appears to ignore them on a regular basis. Recently, I had the opportunity to observe the variance board in action. One case involves building of a gazebo up against the bulkhead. The project had been done

One proposal being considered is to keep the ban on pre-existing condition discrimination only if a person maintains continuous coverage. But if a cancer patient can’t work or loses his/her job and experiences a gap in coverage, that could potentially lock him/her out of the insurance market indefinitely. Just like what happened before the ACA. Cancer patients can’t face the possibility of not being able to purchase coverage. Let’s not play politics with people’s health. I’m asking Congress to compromise on improvements to the existing law. Don’t eliminate what’s working and send us back to uncertainty without assurances that access to coverage will be as good or better than what we have now.

You heard the old song “There’s Trouble In River City?” Well, there’s trouble in Leisure Village West. The current board of trustees think that the village is their private play area where they can do what they want to do with our money. They did both bathrooms and then one of the big halls over. Then they told us that plastic fences were being installed throughout the village. When we asked why do they need it, we were told because they want it. When we object, we were told we’re doing it our way. It is time these current board members quit the board now. Edward Doherty Manchester
Before the Affordable Care Act (ACA), accessing health coverage could be like playing Russian roulette for cancer patients. Insurance companies could cancel a patient’s existing coverage when they get sick, or deny coverage in the first place because of a pre-existing condition. If you reached a lifetime or annual limit, your care could be cut off. Yes, the ACA needs improvements. But changing the law in such a way that eliminates critical patient protections and reduces access to affordable and adequate coverage would be devastating to the millions of cancer patients who rely on it. We simply can’t afford

Ocean County Program First In NJ To Send Those Fighting Addiction To Rehab, Not Prison
OCEA N COU NT Y – Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato, Brick Police Chief James Riccio and Manchester Police Chief Lisa Parker announced the first of its kind law enforcement addiction help program in New Jersey. The “Heroin Addiction Response Program” (HARP) will allow substance abusers to turn themselves and their product in at either of the above participating police headquarters, to go to addiction services providers for treatment evaluation without any threat of charges or jail. Brick and Manchester PDs will begin this innovative initiative by partnering with Preferred Behavioral Health in Lakewood and Integrity House in Toms River to pilot the HARP program. Initially, the two departments and their health pro-
viders will make the life changing option available two days a week. Those fighting addiction, regardless of their residency, can go to Manchester Police Department on Wednesday or Brick Police Department on Thursday to seek immediate critical help in fighting drug addiction. The program is the latest initiative on the heels of Narcan and the Recovery Coach Program to offer substantial diversion help in order to reduce the impact of heroin and opiate abuse in our community, while encouraging those who suffer from addiction to seek help and experience recovery. Prosecutor Coronato stated, “It is my mandate that Ocean County Law Enforcement treat all those suffering from addiction with compassion, care, and
concern while providing resources to assist in their recovery. This is another valuable partnership with Health Providers that is a substantial addition to support our three prong approach in combatting the opiate epidemic thru – Education/prevention, Enforcement and Treatment. The premise of the program is simple – any person who voluntarily enters the two participating agencies and requests help with addiction to heroin or opiates or any substance shall be immediately screened for potential participation in HARP. Although HARP is primarily designed to apply to persons who present themselves at the station, an officer who encounters a person outside the police station believing they would benefit from HARP has the
discretion, based upon their training and experience, to the bring an individual to the police station if the person consents to the voluntary screening process. The officer/shift supervisor, upon completion of the HARP screening process shall provide transportation for the participant to the designated provider as soon as reasonably possible. Prosecutor Coronato concluded by saying, “It’s the generous commitment of Behavioral Health and Integrity House, along with Brick and Manchester PD’s pro-active community outreach that makes this all possible. It is the hope of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office to ellicit other local law enforcement/health provider partnerships in the next several months to expand the program across
Ocean County.” “The fight against opiate addiction must be multi-faceted, which is why this partnership is such a critical step towards the missing intervention component,” said Manchester Township Police Chief Lisa Parker. “Prevention, Intervention and Enforcement are all equally necessary. The Manchester Township Police Department is committed to utilizing all three essential components to combat this epidemic. Our Department was the first in the State to develop a high school opiate awareness program, appropriately named #NotEvenOnce, which was rolled out this year for all high school seniors in Manchester Township. Our goal is to share this program with every Police Department in the
State of New Jersey. Additionally, in July of 2014, a specialized unit, the Narcotics Enforcement Team, hit the streets and has been very busy with drug arrests. The HARP (Heroin Addiction Response Program) will provide treatment for those in need regardless of their insurance coverage or ability to pay. The intervention component that HARP provides is a road less traveled by Law Enforcement, but at this point we must employ all of our resources to combat this epidemic. Each of these components — Prevention, Intervention and Enforcement — alone will not solve the problem, but collectively, and with the assistance of other police departments joining in with this three-pronged approach, we can make a difference.”
NJ Department Of Health Seeks 2017 Population Health Heroes
NEW JERSEY – The NJ Department of Health is seeking applications for its fi rst Population Health Heroes Awards to recognize the state’s innovative leaders who are making system, policy and environmental changes that improve health. “Across the state, there is incredible work being done to keep the well healthy, support those at risk for health problems and prevent those with chronic conditions from getting sicker,” Health Commissioner Cathleen Bennett said. “The goal of these awards is to discover and showcase the work of an individual, group, business, municipality, county, faith-based or other community organization that has successfully implemented a program or intervention that has made a measurable difference in health outcomes for our
residents.” Awards will be given in six categories: Individual/Clinician; Municipal/ County Organization/Coalition; Health Care Provider Institution; Community/ Fait h-Based O rga n i zation; Private Sector Institution/Organization; and Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration. The application and criteria for the NJ Department of Health 2017 Population Health Hero Award was modeled after the 2017 Hearst Health Prize. We thank the College of Population Health at Thomas Jefferson University and Hearst Health for allowing the NJ Department of Health to adapt its work as a guiding template. Applications are due March 22 and are available at nj.gov/health/populationhealth/documents/2017_ population_health_hero_
award_ application.pdf. Winners will be announced at the 2017 Population Health Summit in June. The Department’s Office of Population Health, created in 2015, is sponsoring the awards program. Population health initiatives focus on improving health outcomes through coordination among traditional and non-traditional partners. Efforts can target specific populations such as employees in a business, patients served by a health care provider, residents of a community or people with specific diseases like diabetes or obesity within a community or faith-based group. Examples may include: Collaborations among diverse groups that improve access to healthy food or physical activity such as farmers’ markets, community gardens, Break-
fast After the Bell, Complete Streets, Safe Routes to Schoolsor restoration of parks or other recreational spaces through the Green Acres program. Implementation of a community-based educational program that simplif ies managing through a chronic condition. A school district that partners with a community-based organization or a local transportation authority to improve accessible walking paths for students. Improvements in follow-up care or access to healthy food/physical activity facilitated by technology,
practice, or a system such as telehealth, mobile vans or workplace wellness efforts among employers. Collaborations that promote inclusion and maintenance of vulnerable residents in their communities. Judges will consider the following criteria when evaluating submissions: Measurable population health impact or outcome; Efforts uniting government and community level constituents; Demonstrated innovative health education/promotion practices at the community, municipal, county or state level;
Use of evidence-based interventions or innovations that improve population health; Approaches that address diverse cultural health beliefs and practices, health literacy and other communication needs of vulnerable populations; Changes in organizational culture, policies and procedures that enhance or expand access to services. Submissions that are not focused primarily on a NJ– based population will not be considered. Only programs which are active or completed within the past year will be considered.

Lakehurst Historical Society
LAKEHURST – The Borough of Lakehurst Historical Society maintains a collection of historical artifacts, books, pictures, and documents which provide a record of a rich history and which help to educate those who wish to learn about a sometimes unknown part of local lore. Charred remnants of the dirigible Hindenburg, which crashed here in 1937, and items from the Navy’s rigid airship program are always popular items to see when one visits the Society’s museum. The museum is located at 300 Center St., in the oldest Roman Catholic Church in Ocean County, Old St. John’s Church. The Church was built in 1874 by Irish Railroad workers. Old Church items are on display and are quite beautiful to see. An old cemetery surrounds the museum. The museum opened in July 1993 with nearly 1,000 people on hand. People from many states and several foreign countries have come to
view the items on display. It is managed by all volunteer workers. The museum also contains an old jail cell, fire department memorabilia, items and furnishings from the Pine Tree Inn, a 19th century music box, original paintings, and many other items relating to Lakehurst’s past as a winter resort, early industrial community, and as the “Airship Capital of the World”. A small research area and library are also available to help people begin their journey through local history. A beautiful Christmas display of old toys, as well as a number of seasonal and changing displays make the museum a special place to return to several times a year. The museum is open on Wednesdays and Sundays from noon until 3 p.m. Special tours and small groups can be accommodated with prior notice. For more information, call 732-657-8864.

Manchester’s Madison Boyd Has Passion For Racing
MANCHESTER – Manchester Township High School sophomore Madison Boyd is not your average teenage girl. At 15 years old, she has been racing Quarter Midgets for 11 years.

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.

At our office we will give you an honest and fair assessment of your condition and whether or not we can help you.

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.”

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Stay On Top Of Your Hearing Health
Let’s talk about balance. 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. 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; depression. In severe cases, it can result in: difficulty walking; difficulty standing; sudden falls and injury. Most forms of vertigo are treatable when accurately diagnosed by a hearing health care specialist. 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. Protecting From and Preventing Hearing Loss Age-related hearing loss is one of the most common factors in hearing loss next
to NIHL. Age-related hearing loss causes changes in the inner ear that happen as you get older and cause a slow but steady hearing loss. The loss may be mild or severe, and it is always permanent.4 The attention that a woman pays to her hearing health and protection habits should be increased. Ways to protect your hearing at any age: musician earplugs; custom earpieces; foam earplugs; earmuffs; hunting protection. Education and awareness A general rule of thumb is if you have to raise your voice to be heard over the music/noise, it is too loud. According to the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, noises above 85 dB can cause hearing damage (which is as loud as a bulldozer). The decision to better your hearing is life changing, but you don’t have to change your life to do it. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and need guidance or relief, or if you would simply like to know more about what to prepare for during your various ages and stages, call Dr.Izzy and his Staff at 732-818-3610.
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. Expanded Whiting Hours!

5 Supplements That Make You Look Younger Than You Are By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I can spot a smoker or a sunbather really fast because they look older than they should from the free radical damage. Maybe you thought beauty is only skin deep, but it’s not. A radiant youthful-looking face is actually an inside job. It helps to drink fresh water, exercise regularly and eat healthy foods to get the nutrients which provide the building blocks of healthy skin. Your gut and liver enzymes (glutathione and catalase) must remove toxins and free radicals every second of the day otherwise the junk inside your cell damages your skin. I’ve tried various supplements over the years (on and off) to keep my skin looking as good as it can. At 52, some level of aging is inevitable but it’s amazing what your face can look like if you neutralize free radicals before they age you and use high-quality skin care products. Here are some of my favorite skin-loving herbs and nutrients: Milk thistle. It’s a food, but also a supplement. Your liver processes everything that goes in your mouth, including alcohol, prescription medications, pesticides, preservatives, additives and artificial colors. Your liver detoxifies everything your body doesn’t need. This reminds me of that episode on “I Love Lucy” where she’s struggling to keep up with the conveyor belt of chocolates coming down the line! When your liver falls behind on its job, poisons come out through your skin causing rashes, and itchiness. You’ll age faster. Avoid milk thistle if you’re allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds or daisies.
Collagen. Collagen is a natural component of skin that declines as you age, resulting in thinner, less elastic, more saggy skin. Two 2014 studies found that oral supplementation with this may improve skin elasticity and diminish wrinkles. Silica. This makes hot springs pretty and blue in color. Silica is a trace mineral that helps soothe psoriasis, eczema and rashes when applied topically. Taken internally, silica helps you make collagen naturally, strengthening your nails. Vitamin E. You may think of rubbing vitamin E oil directly on your skin to prevent scars, but taken orally, vitamin E is a powerful cellular antioxidant, which means it gobbles up free radicals that could otherwise potentially damage your skin cells and lead to premature aging. Zinc. It’s not just for your prostate, or for colds! This mineral reduces skin inflammation and irritation, whether that’s associated with acne, pimples, or rashes. It also plays a role in managing the production and turnover of skin cells. When I worked in nursing homes with residents who had painful diabetes-related wounds, or decubitis ulcers, we always put them on zinc and vitamin C. Be careful with zinc, don’t take too much. In fact avoid it if you take ginkgo biloba, ibuprofen or warfarin because it slightly increases risk of bleeding. If you’d like to read the longer version of this article, it’s available at my website, suzycohen.com Please make sure to ask your doctor if these supplements are right for you.

Family Support Services FUNERAL ADVANTAGE Cash Insurance Benefit
The Funeral Consumer Guardian Society is an independent organization dedicated to helping funeral purchasers get a fair deal.
Lincoln Heritage Life Insurance Company is one of the nation’s leaders in helping people cover their funeral costs and other final expenses. • Benefits paid within 24 hours.* • No health examination to apply - just a few health questions. • Most people qualify for coverage, even with health issues. • Rate and Benefit are locked in for the life of the policy.** *Once documents are received and approved. **As long as premiums are paid.
Take Your Husband’s Car Keys
• You decide the style of the funeral you want... a 2-page final wishes form makes it fast and simple. • Your loved ones get a 24-hour toll-free service number to call in time of need.
Dear Joel My problem is a serious one. For at least a few months I have discovered that my husband is driving drunk. It seems to be mostly at the end of the day but it could be throughout the day as well. I don’t know how to handle this and don’t want to get him into trouble. Answer I see your problem exactly the other way around. By doing nothing you are getting him into trouble. He is a danger to every person on the road (and off the road). Lives are taken and others ruined by drunk drivers. If I were you I would demand that he give you his car keys and driver’s license. That is just the beginning. At that point I would contact an attorney who deals specifically with alcoholism and drug addiction.

–Photo by Jason Allentoff The staff of Martell’s Waters Edge alongside OCVTS officials at the annual Chef’s Night Out. Martell’s earned first place, People’s Choice at the event. By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – The arena was packed with hungry supporters and delicious vendors, sharing morsels of international cuisine. The fun was part of Chef’s Night Out, an annual fundraiser for the Ocean County Vocational Technical School and its foundation. Held in Toms River School’s Pine Belt Arena, the event was based around the fun of trying samples from dozens of local restaurants, eateries, food and beverage distributors. Offerings ranged from bitesized custom cupcakes, mini lobster rolls, tuna sushi nachos, prime rib with roasted
vegetables, sake and lemonade and shrimp Caesar salad. Participants could cast votes for their favorites. A 50/50 raffle raised a record amount, and a gift auction also helped raise funds while gifting baskets filled with prizes. The awards went to: Jenni Cakes, for Best Sweets. Shore Point Deistributors, for Best Beverage. Harrogate, for Best Presentation. For People’s Choice, the awardees were: Martell’s Waters Edge for first place, Mulberry Street for second place and 709 bistro for third place.

Adult French Club Meetings In March
MANCHESTER – The Manchester branch of the Ocean County Library will hold two meetings for its French club in March. The beginning/intermediate group will meet on March 14 at 2 p.m. Group members will study the basics of the French language, including vocabulary, grammar and basic conversation, with a focus on learning the days of the week and months of the year. A meeting for advanced speakers will be on March 13 at 6 p.m. This is primarily a conversation group where members who are fluent in the language will discuss topical
events in French, read and discuss French texts and engage in other French oriented activities. The French film “Le Grand Blond avec une chaussure noire” (The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe) will also be screened, followed by a lively discussion of the film in French. Both programs offer participants the opportunity to meet and speak with others who are trying to brush up on or improve their French and learn about French-speaking cultures.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of February 11 - March 17 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Ride out the storm. Some brief disruptions may have you ready to throw in the towel but a little patience is all that’s required to achieve success. You may be in a position to take advantage of a situation in the week to come. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Listen to your heart. Strengthen an existing relationship with a loved one by letting them know how you really feel. Singles who are still seeking their significant other may reap romantic rewards by meeting new people. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t jump to conclusions. Wait until all the facts come to light before reaching a decision as the true nature of a situation may be cloudy this week. Talking things over with a trusted friend or confidant may set your mind at ease. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Do what you want to do. Think about things that make you happy and then take action to make them happen this week. Steer clear of disputes and bad-tempered people. Negative influences could rain on your parade. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get going while the going is good. There’s no obstacle that you can’t conquer or problem you can’t solve as your energy and enthusiasm will be in high gear this week. Offering help to a friend in need will be effortless. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep it simple. If you take too much time thinking things over you may get stuck in neutral but if you follow your instincts you’ll make quick progress. Set aside some quality time to spend with loved ones this week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): All work and no play makes for a dull week. Leave some room in the schedule for recreation and hobbies that will help to clear your mind. Romantic activities are likely to meet with better than average results. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Remember that not everyone plays fair. Remain alert with matters involving money as someone may try to pull a fast one when you aren’t paying attention. Take the time to find value in something you may have at first thought worthless. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Patience is a virtue. If you find someone is irritating you, count to ten or just walk away before you lose your cool. Now is the time for listening and understanding rather than engaging in petty squabbles or spats. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Logic may fail you. A practical approach won’t be much help when a problem stems from a completely irrational situation. You may need to put your creative juices into overdrive to find a solution or just avoid the matter altogether. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Smiles can be contagious. A positive and upbeat attitude will light up your surroundings and make you a pleasure to be around this week. Competitions will be about enjoying the game rather than who wins or loses. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Put the past behind you and set sights on the future. You may have made some mistakes before but wipe the slate clean. Resolve to get off to a fresh start this week. Find your comfort zone among family and close friends.

Prepare A Spanish-Style Omelet Anytime For A Satisfying Meal By Wolfgang Puck
I’ve recognized an interesting pattern from the questions and recipe requests I’m always getting. With all the different food options and occasions for eating that each week brings, most people are concerned about cooking for two main types of meals: weekend brunches and weeknight suppers. As you might guess, the styles of recipes they want for those two occasions tend to be very different. On a weekend morning, most home cooks want to prepare something that feels generous, even a little bit indulgent; a recipe that will impress everyone gathered around the table, helping to make brunch a special yet relaxed occasion. Weeknight meals, on the other hand, are almost always more about convenience, answering one main challenge: How do you satisfy yourself and your family quickly and easily while providing a main course that tastes fresh and delicious? I know of one great recipe that fulfills the requirements of both: my interpretation of a Spanish omelet. Brunch guests happily greet a thick, pancake-style flat omelet, served cut into wedges, which makes a great impression whether you offer it hot from the oven or even lukewarm or cold on a buffet. And egg dishes are becoming more and more popular on weeknights, a time when the concept of serving breakfast for supper is not only convenient but also wonderfully comforting. My recipe also offers the added benefit of being healthy. I pack the omelet with lots of fresh vegetables, cut into uniform 1/4-inch (12-mm) dice; feel free to substitute some of your own favorites, briefly sauteing them as I do in the recipe. I make the omelet with mostly egg whites, adding just a couple of yolks for a touch of richness and golden color. (You can save leftover yolks for another recipe for two or three days in a sealable container in the refrigerator, covered with a little water to prevent them from drying out.) Because many people love cured pork with such egg dishes, I also finish off the omelet with some strips of lean ham; but, of course, you could also make a vegetarian version by substituting some sliced or crumbled chorizo-style vegetarian sausage that can be found in most wellstocked supermarkets. You might wonder how healthful such a generous-looking, rich-tasting main dish can be. So it might surprise you to learn that each serving totals just about 150 calories, with a little bit more than a quarter of those coming from fat. So, if you add some good whole-grain bread and a salad
or fresh fruit, you’ll have a well-balanced, satisfying and delicious meal ready with incredible ease. And what home cook doesn’t want that, whatever the time, day or occasion? HEALTHY SPANISH-STYLE OMELET WITH BELL PEPPERS AND HAM Serves 4 Olive oil-flavored nonstick cooking spray 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced red bell pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced yellow bell pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced green bell pepper 1 garlic clove, finely chopped 1/2 jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded, deveined and finely chopped (optional) Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) seeded and diced tomato 2 large cage-free eggs 12 large cage-free egg whites 1/4 cup (60 mL) pitted Kalamata olives, sliced 3 ounces (185 g) thinly sliced lean cured ham, cut into thin ribbons 6 basil leaves, cut into fine strips Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Heat an 8-inch (20-cm) ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray with the nonstick cooking spray. Add the peppers and saute, stirring occasionally, until they have softened and their edges begin to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeno, if using, and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes longer. Put the eggs and egg whites in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper and whisk until thoroughly blended. Add the egg mixture to the skillet with the vegetables and stir constantly over medium heat until curds start to form. Continue cooking until the mixture has begun to set but is still fairly moist. Remove the skillet from the heat and scatter the olives and ham evenly over the top. Put the skillet in the oven and bake until the omelet is completely set but still slightly moist, about 5 minutes. If the eggs on top still look a little underdone for your liking, switch the oven to the broil setting, or preheat a separate broiler, and pop the pan under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until they are set and light golden. Set the skillet aside to let the omelet settle for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the basil. Cut it into wedges and serve hot, lukewarm or even cold.
