With Contractor Fraud, Pro-Trump Rally Comes To Seaside Sandy-Impacted Heights Homeowners “Hit Twice”
By Judy Smestad-Nunn OCEAN COUNTY – Scores of residents laden with documents, bills, photos, invoices and Superstorm Sandy stories attended an information session in Brick’s Town Hall on March 22 to get information and help with contractor fraud and performance issues on their damaged and/or flooded homes.

By Sara Grillo SEASIDE HEIGHTS – On March 25, the day after Trump’s American Health Care Act failed to draw enough votes, more than a thousand people gathered outside Beachcomber Bar & Grill on the Seaside Heights boardwalk for New Jersey’s Make America Great Again, or MAGA March. The rally was part of

a nationwide MAGA movement in support of the president, vice president, military and first responders, with similar rallies held across the country. A per m it for t he march was reluctantly approved by Seaside Heights officials and the exact location was shared only days before, as organizers (Rally - See Page 4)
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – It took five Board of Adjustment meetings spread out over five months, but in a narrow vote held on March 22, the board members denied an application for a Wawa gas station and convenience store and a drive-through restaurant for the corner of Duquesne Blvd. and Route 70. The case was in front of the Board because a use variance was needed si nce only three of the five lots in the 4.97-acre parcel are in a business zone. One parcel is in a residential zone and one is in an office/ professional zone. The vote was held after nearly four hours of public comment, mostly from nearby Lake Riviera residents who would be most impacted by the 24/7 commercial development of Wawa convenience store and its gas station. After the professionals had fi nished presenting the application at the March 8 Board of Adjustment meeting, several members of the public got the chance to speak at the end of that meeting. Board Chair Harvey Langer added the
March 22 meeting to hear the remainder of public comment and for the board to vote. Residents brought up many concer ns about the application, including increased traffic problems that c ou ld r e s u lt f rom a planned entrance into the complex from North Lake Blvd. Edward Trainor was one of the Lake Riviera residents who suggested eliminati ng t he D u q ue s ne Blvd. entrance into the site entirely. He said the left turn off Route 70 West onto Duquesne Blvd. would back up onto thru lanes for cars trying to get into what he said would be a “very active site.” Bob Au r iem ma said that food and gas delivery trucks can weig h up to 80,000 pounds and would be traveling through the residential neighborhood. “Neighborhood roads were not built for that kind of traffic or these weights. Tractor trailers would be using Nor t h La ke Shore Drive to get to the Wawa,” he said. The planned quick ser v ice rest au r a nt (QSR) cou ld be a (Wawa - See Page 22)

Rally:
Continued From Page 1 feared it would give too much time for protestors to stage a resistance. The four-hour rally, which was scheduled to begin at 1 p.m., was filled with plenty of red clothing, American f lags a nd sig n s bea r i ng Donald Tr u mp’s name. There was an overall theme of pride in the nation’s 45th president and an understanding that whoever doesn’t agree with Trump winning the election should get over it. Speakers at the rally, including several Republican candidates for New Jersey governor, were called to Beachcomber’s roof top to spea k to a g rowi ng crowd of Trump supporters below. They encouraged the cheering crowd to fight back against liberals and issues such as fake news, gun control, sanctuary cities and affordable housing. Seth G rossman k icked th i ngs of f with a plea to bring the country back to where it was 50 years ago, to a time when he says wealth and opportunity were shared by ordinary Americans. Grossman, who ran against incumbent Governor Christie in the 2013 Republican primary, admitted that 50 years can’t be undone with one election, but asked the crowd if they were prepared to do what is necessary to move forward toward progress. He also spoke out against fake news, saying, “They are attacking us because for years we had nobody to speak for
us, we had nobody in office, we were on the outside and now that we finally have a champion they are attacking him because he is defending us, and we must defend him.” Another candidate for governor, Steven Rogers, urged supporters to make a difference by running for their local and state offices, even getting involved w it h t h e i r s c h o ol b o a r d s o r t ow n councils. He also said that whoever is elected as the state’s next governor should be 101 percent committed to President Trump. A retired naval commander and police officer, Rogers shared a strong message about gun control, saying, “We will have in this state a law that will allow ever y cit i zen to ca r r y a concealed weapon.” The Monmouth County Tea Party Coalition was also represented by Frank Cott. He said that what’s happening right now in Washington D.C. would be called a coup anywhere else. “We cannot allow these people to overturn our election. We cannot allow these people to speciously impeach this man or impugn him any further,” he said. During one of the speeches, a small group of protestors made their way through the crowd holding signs that read “Build Skools Not Walls” and “The March Is For Morons.” They were quickly escorted out by police, while marchers chanted “USA” to their backs. Other chants shouted throughout the
rally i ncluded “Tr u mp,” “build the wall” and “lock her up,” in reference to Trump’s democratic opponent Hilary Clinton. DJ Matteo emceed the event, playing mostly cou nt r y music and pat r iotic
tunes for a cheerful audience. Despite the march not being advertised as a pro-Trump rally, he shouted that the crowd was there for one th i ng and one thing only—support for President Trump.

Fraud:
Continued From Page 1 Moderate-Income (LMI) Homeowner Rebuilding Program and rental property owners participating in the Landlord Rental Repair Program (LRRP). Ducey introduced DCA Commissioner Charles A. Richman to the standing-room only audience. “I’m not going to spend any time telling you how successful this program has been,” Richman said. “I know you are here today because of contractor fraud; it’s hard enough losing your home and now you have been hit twice. It’s a disgrace,” he said. Commissioner Richman introduced Assistant Director of Legal Issues/Sandy Division Elizabeth MacKay who helped to draft a fraud policy with Housing and Urban Development (HUD). “In the beginning if you were defrauded, you were pretty much on your own if the funds you were awarded are no longer available because of fraud,” she said. The federal government will not pay out the same money twice, so the HUD has made other funds available for people to complete their homes, MacKay explained. “This is not a victim’s compensation fund, this is additional funds so you can complete your home - that’s an important distinction,” she said. Contractor fraud includes underperformance, use of poor quality materials, inf lating costs, abandonment and more. In order to get the additional funds, victims must have evidence of contractor fraud, file a police report and file a complaint with the DCA with supporting documentation. The DCA would obtain the resulting charging document (“State vs. Contractor”) from the Division of Consumer Affairs, and a project manager would inspect the property to verify or confirm the damages. The language “Theft by Deception” would be in the charging document, MacKay said. Then a grant award and amendment would be prepared and a Community Affairs representative would meet with a validated replacement contractor and the applicant. Applicants may receive additional funds if they agree to fi ling the complaint, providing documentation, cooperating with state and law enforcement officials, and to returning any funds recovered as the result of criminal actions. All new contractors must be validated by the project manager, which is very important since if they are not licensed the homeowner would not be eligible for the additional funds.
The Brick Times, April 1, 2017, Page 5 Assistant Director of Housing Recovery/ Sandy Recovery Division David Mazzuca said that if a homeowner is back in their home and the work has been completed, they are no longer eligible to participate in the fraud process. “Many of us are in the same boat,” said a woman in the audience. “If you’re already in your house -- you worked, worked, worked -- and you’re not allowed to move back into your house, why bother working on the house?” she asked. She said many people borrowed from their retirement to complete their homes. Mazzuca said the DCA has to abide by Federal regulations. “We can’t reimburse you for a project you have already done because you have already figured out a way to do it,” he said. “This regulation seems ridiculous, but we’re bound by the law. We’ll continue to press and advocate for you,” he added. Brick’s Shore Acres resident Kevin McGuire, 62, said he attended the information session because he heard there would be funding made available through the RREM program for fraud victims. “Our home elevation contractor demanded his fi nal payment when there was still 50 percent of work to be done. He lifted the house in one day and then all hell broke loose,” McGuire said as he waited to speak with a DCA representative. The plumbing, masonry, electrical and HVAC systems under the house were “in shambles and ripped apart” after the house was lifted, McGuire said. “I refused to give him the fi nal $65,000 payment, which saved us. He threatened us, he tried to place a lien on our house, he said he was going to sue us. I had to hire a lawyer because he pulled off the job,” he said. The contractor – who was licensed by the State of NJ – hired a string of different lawyers who contacted McGuire as part of a bullying campaign, he said. “It was part of his M.O. Later I was able to see a bigger picture of how he operated. His approach has been very effective for him in the past in other states,” McGuire said. “How could the State approve him as a contractor?” McGuire said he wanted to fi nd out the DCA’s position for people who had completed their houses themselves. He heard Mazzuca say residents would not be eligible for fraud funds if they were back in their homes, but McGuire said he hoped for a position reversal. After the presentation, attendees could receive direct assistance with their questions or issues from representatives with the DCA, NJ Division of Consumer Affairs, RREM and LRRP Program Managers and housing counselors from the Sandy Recovery Housing Program.

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

F EATURED L ETTER Congress Should Support Research To End Cardiovascular Disease Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a daily burden for its victims. It’s also the most costly and pervasive disease in America. New projections from the American Heart Association show that by 2035, nearly half of the U.S. population will suffer from CVD, with costs exceeding 1 trillion. In fact, expenses associated with CVD are expected to surpass medical cost estimates for other chronic diseases, including diabetes and Alzheimer’s, over the next two decades. These latest projections update ones made by the association in 2011 that estimated 100 million Americans would suffer from CVD by 2030. Disturbingly, that prediction came true in 2015. Unless deliberate and focused action is taken now
to combat this growing burden, the very disease that probably killed your great-grandparents will remain on the fast-track to kill your great-grandchildren, too. Research f unded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) remains our country’s best hope for discovering ways to prevent, treat and ultimately cure CVD – the number one and most costly killer of Americans. Congress: help wipe out the burden of CVD for every generation by supporting NIH-funded research. Together, we can make heart disease and stroke just a memory. Rachana Kulkarni, MD Board Member South-Central NJ American Heart Association, American Stroke Association

Celebrating Spring Where is global warming when we need it? I do look forward to the first day of spring, balmy weather, and flowers in bloom. The first days of spring is actually a perfect opportunity to turn over a new leaf in our personal habits - to clean house, to jog outdoors, and to replace animal foods with healthy, delicious vegetables, legumes, grains, and fruits. The shift toward healthy eating is everywhere. Fast-food chains like Chipotle, Quiznos, Starbucks, Subway, Taco Bell and Wendy’s offer plant-based options. Parade, Better Homes and Gardens, and Eating Well are touting vegan recipes. Google CEO Eric Schmidt views replacement of meat by plant protein as the world’s #1 technical trend. The financial investment community is betting on innovative start-ups like Beyond Meat or Impossible Foods, while warning clients about “death of meat.” Even Tyson Foods new CEO sees plant protein as the meat industry’s future. Indeed, Global Meat News reports that nearly half of consumers are reducing meat intake. Beef consumption has dropped by 43 percent in the past 40 years. Each of us can celebrate spring by checking out the rich collection of plant-based dinners and desserts in our supermarket’s frozen food, dairy, and produce sections. Hal Tubbs Toms River
Christie Only Cares About Himself Governor Christie made it clear in his recent speech that he will leave New Jersey in far worse fiscal shape than
Letters To national The Editor what he inherited. debt and clenching write to the newspapers, Whether it’s underfunded pensions, underfunded transit, underfunded schools, or his record ten credit downgrades, Governor Christie is nothing but an underperformer whose greatest accomplishment will be his ability to tie up traffic. 37 percent of New Jerseyans are struggling just to get by, and his budget does nothing to help working men and women. It short changes students and promotes a corrupt charter school system that drains resources from our public schools and funnels them to his Wall Street cronies. It ignores the looming crisis we face by President Trump’s ongoing threat to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Once again, it is clear Christie doesn’t care about the people of New Jersey – he only cares about his political career. We need new leadership in our state now, more than ever, which is why I’m asking for your support in my campaign for governor. Assemblyman John Wisniewski, D-19 Candidate for Governor
Obama Was An Elitist Fantasy Thank God for president Obama! After 20 years of Bush and Clinton back-pocket liberalism, Democrats thought the nation was ready for fundamental, unabashed, full-out progressivism.

The resulting failure of these policies has hampered our economy while ramping up

the iron fist of centralized government on Americans, to say nothing of our newly acquired international impotence. Obama’s successes were only in the eyes of the mainstream media and academia elitists. The reality shows more people out of work or in part-time low wage benefit-less jobs since the Carter years. Black America, which one might have thought would benefit the most from his presidency, have unduly suffered the worst employment record under his watch, yet he remains lionized in that community. Propped up by a fake news narrative, Democrats had a false sense that America was on its way to liberal Shangri-La. With this false sense of security in mind they offered up the worst presidential candidate possible, My Turn Hillary. Thankfully, enough of our constitutional republic remains that this con job of bull-pooky was defeated. Now it’s the Democrats turn to regroup, if they can get past their own pity party and offer up solutions in a Republican controlled congress, rather than the current mode of obstructionism.

Make A Difference Enough! Time for the cyber bullying and Facebook civil war to stop! It is over! Time to come together and get behind our words by deeds... In the immortal words of past men and women who have inspired us, the time has come for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Or, “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.” It is time to put your words into deeds – enough protesting! Don’t be behind the sign – be the sign! Get up and get going. Just do it! Now is the perfect time for action, to be held accountable to mature and act responsibly. Get out there! You have a cause and want to be heard? Well, write your elected officials,
hold the media responsible for honest journalism. Take a stand! There are many people waiting for a handout and many more just waiting for a hand. If you have the money and ability, pay it forward. If you don’t, volunteer! You will not only be helping others but also be helping yourself to heal, to mend, to become unbroken. There are so many opportunities to make a real difference. Help build a house for the homeless, or rebuild one for someone who has lost it all! Volunteer at a homeless shelter, soup kitchen, pack packages for soldiers near and abroad who are protecting our rights to protest, our liberty and our freedom. Join the military! Walk a dog, especially for someone who is homebound and cannot do the simple tasks the rest of us take for granted. Help out at a youth program or start one; learn face painting or clowning, singing, dancing and volunteer your skills at a hospital and hold the hand of someone going through dialysis or cancer treatment or a child so unsure of their daily regimen, so full of doubt or fear, or the hand of someone who is dying. Work on a hotline you may just be the encouragement someone needs. You may just save a life! Whatever your cause may be – environmental issues, women’s or men’s rights, LGBTQ rights, animal rights, health issues, whatever – make a difference! Remember this: every day we all get up, put our feet on the ground and face our daily challenges. All of us. Whether it be fighting disease, disability, prejudice, bullying, addiction, abuse, heartache or heartbreak, isolation, depression or loneliness, we all can use a helping hand! Remember to do random acts of kindness but most of all remember to be kind. in your words, your actions, your deeds. Don’t be a nobody. Be a somebody to someone. Make every day count!

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
From The Desk Of Congressman Tom MacArthur: Congressman Tom MacArthur’s Statement On The American Health Care Act
Congressman Tom MacArthur WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Tom MacArthur issued the following statement after the American Health Care Act didn’t come to a vote. “W hen the American Health Care Act was fi rst introduced, I grappled with whether I would support it. But I didn’t run for Congress to be an obstructionist
OCEAN COUNTY – The State’s so-called bail reform law is costing taxpayers millions of dollars while threatening to release potentially dangerous criminals back into the community, two Ocean County Freeholders said. Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari and Deputy Director Gerry P. Little commended the Ocean County Association of Chiefs of Police for its recent opposition to the bail reform laws. “These law enforcement professionals and leaders from all of our municipalities agree
or to decorate a fancy chair - Washington has enough of those people already - I worked to constructively improve the legislation,” said MacArthur. “I’ve always said that this has to be about people, not politics. My wife and I had a special needs child in our early twenties and we had over one million dollars of medical bills when she died at the age of eleven. Without insurance, our life would have had a terrible blow before we even got started.
I am committed to helping every American get the health insurance they need.” “Over the past weeks, I worked with President Tr u mp, Vice President Pence, Speaker Ryan, HHS Secretary Tom Price and Members of Congress with different views, about my concerns. I offered and fought for specific improvements that needed to be included in the legislation in order for me to support it.” “I successfully worked for $60 billion in addi-
tional funding for older and disabled Americans in Medicaid and made sure that everyone in Medicaid Expansion - including over 500,000 New Jerseyans - could remain there permanently with a full federal match. I proposed and gained a $90 billion increase in the healthcare tax credits for Americans in the 50-64 age group. These additional credits were intended to help this group, which struggles with among the highest health insurance
costs. And late Thursday, just before the scheduled vote, I was able, along with others to secure an additional $15 billion to help young mothers and those struggling with mental and substance abuse disorders.” “In total, we committed an additional $165 billion dollars to the most vulnerable among us. But this was never about money. Despite all the fear and confusion over this bill, I worked to make it better for people - those I represent and all

that this version of bail reform is not working,” Vicari said. “We’re not against reviewing and improving our bail regulations, but we are against this law.” The Chiefs Association on February 10 unanimously approved a resolution calling for the appeal of the reform legislation, calling it “dangerous, onerous and fiscally disastrous.” Little went one step further, calling the state-mandated law, “nothing but a Get-Outof-Jail-Free card.” Little argued that the original
public question placed before voters in 2014 was not only inaccurate, but also “disingenuous.” “In no way did the question ask whether voters wanted the courts to release sex offenders, drug dealers, burglars and other potentially violent criminals back on the streets without bail,” Little said. “Judges already had the power to release or hold suspects with or without bail.” The actual question on the November 2014 ballot read: “Do you approve amending the Constitution to allow a

court to order pretrial detention of a person in a criminal case? This would change the current constitutional right to bail. The change to the Constitution would mean that a court could order that a person remain in jail prior to a trial even without a chance for the person to post bail, in some situations.” Vicari said the facts concerning the number of prisoners released state-wide before trial confirm the Freeholders’ concerns. According to a statement issued by the New Jersey State
PBA on February 7, bail was set for only 3 out of 3,382 suspects that came before judges in January. “We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our police officers in opposition to these dangerous changes,” Vicari said. Vicari and Little also praised the New Jersey Association of Counties for filing a suit before the state Council on Mandates arguing that the legislation falls under the “State Mandate, State Pay” statutes and is therefore unconstitutional unless fully funded by Trenton. Vicari said the county esti-
Americans.” “This bill was not perfect—no bill is—but it was a dramatic improvement from where it started. It didn’t have enough votes to pass, but I stand by my efforts to improve it. The only way we’re going to repair our broken health care system is if we work together to fix the problem. Just saying no, which requires no effort at all, or pointing the finger of blame at others is of no value. It is time for action together.”
mates that complying with the regulations will cost taxpayers about $2.4 million in new staff, equipment and capital expenses. “NJAC is absolutely correct – the state mandated these costs and under the state Constitution they should pay to implement this program,” Vicari said. However, the Freeholder said a better proposal would be to scrap the law and start fresh. “It’s time to throw it out and come up with a better plan that both protects our residents and controls costs,” Vicari said.

Cataract surgery patients have several options for replacement lenses. The most popular choice is the “fixed-focus monofocal lens,” which provides good distance correction although reading glasses will still be needed for up-close work. In some cases, patients may opt to have one eye fitted with a lens that provides near vision while the other eye (usually the dominant eye) gets a lens that provides for far vision. This combination of lenses, called “monovision,” relies on the brain’s ability to sort between the two images so that near tasks can be performed without the need for reading glasses. A newer lens, the “accommodating monofocal lens,” can shift from near to far vision in response to the eyes’ ciliary muscles. A state-of-the-art advancement in small incision cataract surgery now allows us to create a 2.8 mm self-sealing clear corneal incisions. This reduces astigmatism that can occur from suturing an eye. No-Stitch Cataract removal is made possible by creating a self-sealing microscopic tunnel incision into the eye which allows the cataract to be broken down, removed, and replaced by an implant. This restores clear vision. To learn more, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622.

Trying to lose too much weight too fast is a recipe for frustration, as well as thinking that you have to lose weight alone! Research shows that the more support people have during weight loss, the better their results. Why is support so crucial? It’s because weight loss requires more than counting calories. Successful, long-term weight loss is a complex process that demands physical, behavioral and emotional changes. We can provide help with these changes; practical tools to simplify the process; objective dietary expertise for those confused by all of the current conflicting information; and a variety of eating plans tailored to individual health and lifestyle needs.

Five Ways You Can Damage Your Hearing Without Knowing It Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the most common type of hearing loss, but folks aren’t always sure where their hearing loss comes from. There are some fairly obvious ways to damage your hearing, such as listening to music at excessive volumes, or firing weapons without hearing protection. Then there are situations where protecting your hearing doesn’t seem very important, but doing so might actually prevent further damage. Consider the following sneaky causes of hearing loss. Workplace Noise: Although many construction and manufacturing jobs state that hearing protection should be worn at all times on the job, these warnings are not always adhered to. Those who wear hearing protection may not be wearing it at all times; it may be removed to talk with co-workers or supervisors despite close proximity to high-noise producing machines, and depending upon how loud those machines are, damage can be caused fairly quickly. Even with hearing protection, noise damage can slowly accumulate and wear on the delicate hair cells in the inner ear. Ototoxic Medication: Ototoxic medications are drugs such as painkillers that have chemical properties that make them toxic to the sensory cells in the ear. Painkillers taken in high quantity create not only a risk for dependency but for losing hearing as well; strong pain medications first cause a ringing in the ears before
beginning to have adverse effects on hearing, but the impairment often goes away after discontinued use. Smoking: Because of the impact and high profile of major diseases caused by smoking, potential hearing damage as a side effect of smoking often flies under the radar. But nicotine is a vasoconstrictor that causes blood vessels to shrink slightly, restricting blood flow to the inner ear and preventing oxygen from reaching it. Over a lifetime, this “suffocates” the ear. Public Transportation: The squeal and grind of light rails, trains, and even buses coming to a stop have the potential to cause hearing damage to daily riders of public transportation because they’re constantly exposed to noise. Rough or curved tracks prevent smooth rides, leading to more noise. And those who are waiting for their bus or train are exposed to potential traffic on a busy street which can sometimes reach levels of 100 dB or more. Attending Sporting Events Due in part to the nature of sporting events, watching athletes perform-the danger of noise is often forgotten. Many stadiums still manifest crown noise dangerous enough to damage hearing. Seattle’s CenturyLink Field last year posted a decibel record of 137.6 enough to cause permanent damage in 30 seconds. Noise levels of 115 dBs or more-about the equivalent of a concert, are not uncommon but are safe to experience for only 15 minutes.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
The Best Strategies To Control Seasonal Allergies By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I know so many of you suffer from seasonal allergies this time of year. In my teens and twenties, I was super allergic to cats, dust and pollen but by the time I hit 31, I was virtually perfect. Still, even today at 52 years old, I can wipe down the car and porch furniture from pollen, and play with cats. Sam says I’m still virtually perfect, lol! Anyway, in my youth, my immune system was weak, I took all kinds of antihistamines to no avail, but I changed my life by giving my diet a complete makeover and changing the bed linens. I’ll help you right now too. Doctors often prescribe antihistamines to block your body’s histamine reaction, which causes the breathing problems and runny nose. They also prescribe corticosteroids to reduce inflammation but unfortunately those further suppress immune function. Some medications cause drowsiness and dry mouth while others cause ridiculous insomnia, stomach pain, aggression and psychosis. Children get attention deficit problems and nightmares. As much as I approve of quick-fix allergy pills for instant relief, they’re not ideal to take for the rest of your life. Do you want to cover it up or fix it once and for all? The best alternative to medication is to revamp the way you eat. You have major control of your immune system health and the fury of its reactivity to antigens like pollen. Your immune cells reside in your gut and so you can control how touchy those cells are by feeding them better. When I say this out loud to
people, I often hear “Ah whatever, I’ll eat what I want to, and just take this pill, it’s a lot easier.” True, but over time, your immune function weakens leaving you open to more and more allergies and major health problems. If you truly want to get better, do what I did. Eat clean, organic fruits and veggies. Juice them, eat them and cook with them. They’re high in fiber and keep your digestion moving. Pineapple is particularly good due to the high content of bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme. Sprinkle ‘warm’ spices on your food like ginger, garlic, cayenne and cinnamon because these thin mucous. Local honey might be helpful to sensitize you to local pollens. Green superfood powder drink mixes are potent detoxifiers of the intestinal tract. You’ll have to cut out or dramatically reduce intake of dairy products which have been tightly associated with allergies/asthma and consume less wheat and soy-based products. Those last two categories are heavily refined and may be genetically modified (GMO). There is a longer version of this article at my website with more food tips, but right now I’ll share lifestyle strategies that could easily change your life. Buy new pillows and blankets and switch to something hypoallergenic, for example, exchange down for organic cotton. Wrap the mattress with a bed-bug cover. Take a shower before bed and if that’s not possible, at least run a wet brush through your hair (it gets the pollen out). And finally, when the season is upon you, keep your windows closed.

Elementary School Parents Learn About HPV Vaccine
LAKEWOOD – The Lakewood Resource and Referral Center (LRRC), a federally-designated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, recently held an immunization presentation for parents and students during a PTO meeting at the Ella G. Clarke Elementary School. The presentation focused on the importance of the Human Papillomavirus or HPV vaccine as part of an ongoing campaign sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Nurse Sue Grill-Levy of the Center for Health Education, Medicine and Dentistry spoke to attendees about the importance of being immunized against HPV. School guidance counselor Oscar Orellana translated the presentation into Spanish. James Gavilanes and Miles Thorn of Carnival Parties treated parents and children to an interactive, bilingual immunization-themed magic show to demonstrate the importance
and effectiveness of vaccinations in preventing diseases. Representatives of the LRRC distributed customized t-shirts produced specifically for event that bared the message, “Support the Fight against Cancer.” Additionally, attendees were provided with bilingual educational literature about HPV and how to prevent it. All parents in attendance completed a questionnaire about their previous awareness of the HPV vaccine. Fourteen parents asked the LRRC to contact them for an appointment to have their children immunized against HPV. “Many of the parents at the event informed us that they were previously unaware that there is an HPV vaccine at all,” said Mayer Hoberman, the LRRC’s executive director of social services. “Virtually all attendees whose children have not yet been immunized against HPV stated that they now intend to get their children vaccinated. Our presentation clearly had a significant impact.”

The boys recently had a bitter fight and vowed never to speak to each other. One is about to get married. It’s bad enough that brothers, especially twins could get to this place, but to not attend the wedding, well it’s just heartbreaking. Should I intervene or just let them try to resolve things? Neither has budged an inch and with the wedding just a couple months away, I am starting to panic. Answer: As a parent, next to being healthy, you always hope your kids will be friends. But even though blood may be thicker than water, it may not be thicker than heads. It’s a heartbreak to see children fight, and the
fact that your boys are twins just makes it all the worse. I know you want to make things better before the big day, but sometimes that doesn’t always work. As adults, I’m sure they must understand the ramifications their feud will have, and it doesn’t seem to bother them. W hy don’t you just concentrate on the joyousness of the wedding and all the friends and family you will see and try to let their fight not ruin things. That being said, a little mother’s guilt is a powerful weapon. See if a long sigh, or a bitten lip will get things moving in a happier direction. You never know! Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Wawa:
Continued From Page 1 Panera Bread location, which is something that Adele Greenberger said she has never seen on the same site as a Wawa. “Why would Wawa want that direct competition? I have a feeling it won’t be a Panera Bread, that it will be something we really don’t want,” she said. “I don’t like the secrecy or whatever, a QSR makes no sense.” Madeline Iannarone asked if nearby home values would be affected by the commercial development. Board Attorney John Miller said the job of the Board of Adjustment is to hear facts and testimony about the application, analyze those facts and make a decision.
“They have no jurisdiction over property values, assessments, etc. It is not within the Board’s authority or jurisdiction,” he said. Iannarone said residents had not gotten clear answers on how often gas would be delivered, how often garbage would be picked up, what the QSR would be, how the traffic rules on the site would be enforced and more. “It’s a danger to the residents of this town, you need to look out for us,” she said. Not everyone was opposed to the Wawa complex. Katie Vicente said a planned third lane in front of the site on Route 70 would help the traffic there. “I don’t see a problem with it. I understand people don’t want their homes impacted but Brick is growing all the time,” she said.
Victor Finamore said he understood that local residents did not want the increased traffic in their neighborhood but said the Wawa and QSR would bring job opportunities to township residents. He suggested making the Route 70 entrance into the complex larger, and eliminating the Duquesne Blvd. entrance for patrons, but to create a dirt or stone access area there for the use of emergency vehicles only. The developer, Paramount Realty and Riviera Realty, now has two choices: they could appeal the Board’s decision to the County Superior Court, or they could come back before the Board of Adjustment with a substantially different application. After the meeting, the applicant’s attorney John Jackson said the decision was a disap-
pointment and his client would be sorting out their options. “Right now we’re regrouping, we’re looking at different options because this is an important piece of property for my client,” he said. “The people in that neighborhood showed a lot of unity and we respect the Board’s decision, that’s how the process is supposed to work,” Jackson said. A super-majority vote of five out of seven Board members was needed since the application included the use variance. Board members Langer, Carl Anderson, Stephen Leitner and Dawn Marie White voted in favor of the application, while David Chadwick, Mike Jamnick and Louis Sorrentino voted against it.

Inside The Law Insurance For Homeowners
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Marc S. Galella, Esq. and Robert Shea, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates
When buying a house, you should know about the different types of insurance you may need to protect your new home. The purchase of a house is probably the biggest investment most people will ever make so you should consider the various insurances available to protect your investment. Here are some of the forms of insurance that you should consider: Homeowners/Fire Insurance Often called “hazard” insurance by most mortgage lenders, this type of insurance will protect you in the event of a fire or other such casualty loss. There are several components to this kind of insurance. Casualty covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding your house in the event of a fi re, wind damage, etc. You should also have coverage for the contents, i.e. your personal property located in the house. In addition, your homeowners policy will usually provide you with liability coverage to reimburse third parties for personal injury or property damage which you may cause to them. It is a good idea to make a list of all the items in your home and/or take photos of them in the event that you need to make a claim. If you have homeowners insurance, make sure that you have guaranteed replacement cost. Your homeowners policy may also give you coverage to allow you to stay in alternate housing in the event that you cannot occupy your house for a period of time due to covered damage. Flood insurance As many people found out after Superstorm Sandy, homeowners insurance does not cover you for damage resulting from f looding. Homeowners insurance may cover damage resulting from a broken pipe or other such causes, but it provides no coverage for any water that enters your house from the exterior. In addition to providing coverage for the repair/replacement of the structure of your house, you should also consider getting flood insurance coverage
for the contents of your house. Marc S. Galella Esq. Earthquake insurance Most standard homeowners insurance policies will exclude coverage for damage caused by earthquakes or other such ground movement. Although earthquakes are not common in New Jersey, they are not unheard of. Remember the Northeast earthquake of August 2011? Although this widely felt earthquake did relatively little damage in New Jersey, most people do not realize that they may have had no coverage if they did experience damage. Personal umbrella policy This is an inexpensive form of liability insurance coverage for when liability to a third party exceeds the coverages afforded by your standard insurance policies (homeowners or automobile). In most cases a policy with $1,000,000 of coverage will cost less than $200 per year. Coverages are available for up to $5,000,000. The drawback is that you may have to increase the limits on your automobile coverage. You should consult a licensed insurance agent to help you decide what types of insurances and the limits of coverages you need to protect yourself and your home. The law firm of R.C.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of April 1 - April 7 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Social activities can keep you occupied all week long. Hard work and a business-like attitude about material affairs can put you on the top of the heap. Networking can add dollars as well as smiles. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Defeat is not measured by how much you lose but by how soon you quit. In the week to come you have ample energy to see projects through to the finish. Tap into a storehouse of determination to resist failure. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You might find a way to change your luck without changing anything. Keep your cellphone battery charged in the week ahead.

It might be in your best interests to shift your allegiances. You may be expected to be at the beck and call of some people. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Work related situations could come full circle. Attention to the smallest details could take up extra time as this week unfolds but will be well worth the extra effort. Ask for advice and information when money is at stake. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When you feel you have plenty you can be careless about finances. It might be wise to conduct a reality check and make sure there is enough cash to cover the budget. Avoid spending sprees in the week ahead.

Use a methodical approach to plug in a new computer, install software, or deal with detailed creative work in the upcoming week. You might enjoy five minutes of fame. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t take good luck for granted. Follow up on agreements and send a thank you note when needed. If you must make a crucial decision in the week ahead, dig up the details with some diligent hard work. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Courtesy is always in style. Your warmth and willingness to try something new is an asset as long as you don’t overstep the bounds of propriety. Do not take short cuts when etiquette is expected this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can’t control the winds so you must adjust your sails. It may take longer than expected to make headway causing frustration.

Spring In Your Step: Bright Spices Spruce Up A Main-Course Salad By Wolfgang Puck
INDIAN-SPICED SALMON WITH LENTIL SALAD AND CUCUMBER RAITA Serves 4 For the tandoori seasoning: 3 tablespoons moderately spicy curry powder 2 teaspoons mild or hot paprika 1 teaspoon ground turmeric 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom For the tandoori salmon: 4 salmon fillets, about 4 ounces (125 g) each, skinned 2 cups (500 mL) nonfat plain yogurt 1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh lime juice 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 2 tablespoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 teaspoons ground coriander 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon mild or hot paprika 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric For the lentil salad: 1 cup (250 mL) dried green lentils, sorted and rinsed 1 medium yellow onion, cut into large chunks, plus 1/4 cup (60 mL) finely chopped yellow onion 1 medium carrot, cut into large chunks 1 celery stalk, cut into large chunks 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1/2 cup (125 mL) nonfat Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar 1 tablespoon honey 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/2 Japanese cucumber, cut into 1/4inch (6-mm) dice For the cucumber raita: 1 Japanese cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks 1/4 red onion, cut into chunks 2 tablespoons honey 1 teaspoon packaged moderately spicy curry powder 2 cups (500 mL) fresh cilantro leaves 1 cup (250 mL) fresh mint leaves 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) nonfat Greek yogurt
For serving: 4 cups (1 L) packed baby arugula leaves 1 medium fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly shaved 8 red radishes, trimmed and thinly shaved About 8 hours before serving, prepare the tandoori seasoning and salmon: Stir together the curry powder, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cumin, nutmeg, ginger and cardamom. Lightly season the salmon with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the tandoori seasoning. Place in a nonreactive bowl, cover, and refrigerate for about 2 hours. In a separate bowl, stir together the yogurt, lemon juice, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, ginger, oil, coriander, salt, paprika, turmeric and 2 tablespoons more tandoori seasoning. Pour this mixture over the salmon, turn to coat, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for about 6 hours. Meanwhile, make the lentil salad: In a large saucepan, combine the lentils, onion chunks, carrot, celery, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add cold water to cover well. Bring to a boil over high heat; then, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the lentils are tender, about 45 minutes. Drain thoroughly. Discard the vegetable chunks. Transfer the lentils to a medium bowl. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, vinegar, honey, remaining salt, and sugar. Fold in the diced cucumber and finely chopped onion. Stir into the lentils. Cover and refrigerate. Up to 1 hour before serving, make the cucumber raita: In a blender, combine the cucumber, onion, honey and curry powder. Blend until smooth. Pulse in the cilantro and mint. Add the yogurt and pulse 2 or 3 times to blend. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate. To cook the salmon, preheat a nonstick stovetop ridged grill pan, a countertop electric grill or the broiler. Cook the salmon until nicely browned on both sides but still moist within, 5 to 7 minutes total. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss together the arugula, fennel and radishes. Arrange on serving plates. Spread lentil salad on top. Place a grilled salmon fillet on the lentils. Garnish with some cucumber raita, passing the rest at the table.
