Rally:
the cheering crowd to fight back against liberals and issues such as fake news, gun control, sanctuary cities and affordable housing. Seth Grossman kicked things off 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 fi nally 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 with their school boards or town 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 every citizen to carry 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 over-

Continued From Page 1 march was reluctantly approved by Seaside Heights officials and the exact location was shared only days before, as organizers 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 flags and signs bearing Donald Trump’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 rooftop to speak to a growing crowd of Trump supporters below. They encouraged
turn 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 included “Trump,” “build the wall” and “lock her up,” in reference to Trump’s democratic opponent Hilary Clinton. DJ Matteo emceed the event, playing mostly country music and patriotic 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 thing and one thing only—support for President Trump.

know Brush. She was their school bus driver. Her children graduated with their children. She coached their team. Brush, a retired bus driver from the Manchester Township School District, served as the chairperson on the township’s Municipal Alliance for 10 years, and put together many Project Graduations during the time, a safe night of fun for high school seniors on their graduation night. She’s donated driving time to the local Police Athletic League, and volunteers for Kevin’s Kids. She currently sits on the planning board, but will have to resign because of her new position. When she heard about the council vacancy, her first thought was “Why not?” “I like Manchester,” she said. She’s a 43year resident and lives in Pine Lake Park. “It’s a good place to raise a family.” She was one of 12 applicants seeking to fill Weiner’s seat. (One didn’t meet the residency requirement and another never showed for the interview.) According to
council president Samuel Fusaro, there were several strong candidates with impressive resumes, but Brush ultimately wowed council the most. “Joan was selected for many reasons, but chief among them is her dedication to the residents of Manchester Township,” Fusaro said. In an interview before her swearing in, Brush praised council’s efforts to try to bring in ratables, and knows it’s often an uphill battle with the wide-range of restrictions that drive businesses elsewhere. She would like to use her experiences to draw in those businesses to alleviate the tax burden on residents. Brush remembers swimming in Pine Lake many, many years ago. She told The Manchester Times she would like to see Pine Lake cleaned up to drive out the geese and bring in the people. She’d love to see a nature walk and a lighted boardwalk line the lake. She wants residents to know they can reach out to her with any ideas or concerns. “Joan is a wonderful addition to the council,” Mayor Kenneth Palmer said.

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 funded 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. Fastfood 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
Letters To ton The Editor back-pocket liberalism, In the immortal words of 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 what he inherited. 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

Democrats thought the nation was ready for fundamental, unabashed, full-out progressivism. Obama was resoundingly elected and successfully delivered his liberal agenda through senate shenanigans of Harry Reid as well as his own use of executive decision and the regulatory state. The resulting failure of these policies has hampered our economy while ramping up national debt and clenching 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 Tur n Hillar y. 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.

Congressman Chris Smith Wants Better Flood Insurance Policies For New Jerseyans From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith M A NCHESTER – D u r i ng a se r ies of re cent meetings, Rep. Chris Smith (NJ-04) expressed his deep concern with the Of f ice of Ma nagement and Budget’s proposed 2018 Budget Bluepr i nt to Majority Whip Steve Scalise (LA-01), who also represents a district recently ravaged by floods, and Rep. Sean Duffy (WI07). Smith, who stressed
OCEA N COU NT Y – With the filing deadline for income taxes quickly approaching, IRS scammers are taking full advantage of tax season calling unsuspecting taxpayers and attempting to dupe them. “These scammers are becoming increasingly skillful and brazen in attempting to defraud the public,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs. “Our Consumer Affairs department is working to inform our residents to be aware of potential scam artists posing as IRS agents.” According to the IRS, an aggressive and sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers has been making the rounds throughout the country. Callers claim to be employees of the IRS, but are not. These con artists can sound convincing when they call. They use fake names and bogus IRS identification badge numbers. They may know a lot about their targets, and they
the importance of a fully funded National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) during the meetings, said he appreciated the opportunity to come together and discuss this topic with Scalise and Duffy and that he looks forward to working together as the NFIP re aut hor i z at ion move s through Committee. “This Blueprint proposes to strip federal funding
from NFIP and increase the costs on vulnerable families and businesses, whose f lood insu rance premiums are already skyrocket i ng,” said Sm it h in a letter handed to the Major it y W h ip du r i ng a meeting. “The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the NFIP’s Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a cut of $190 million. With National Flood Insurance Policy holders in all 50 states as well as 5 territories and the District of Columbia, this issue truly has a national impact.” Nationwide, there are over 5 million NFIP policies, 231,000 of which
are held by families and businesses in New Jersey. According to FEMA, the average policy holder will pay $878 for flood insurance — costs that are in addition to their standard home owner’s insurance premiums—in 2017, a total that rises to over $1,000 once fees and surcharges included. These rates represent a 9 percent increase over 2016 rates. “These rate increases a re bu rden s pla ced on homeowners above and beyond cu r rent prem iums and the out-of-pocket amounts that homeowners affected by Superstor m Sandy here in New Jersey, and the ‘1000-year
rain’ that took place last year in Louisiana, are still paying,” said Smith, who has been joined by other House Members from the New Jersey delegation in this fight. Smith also discussed his legislation, the Federal Disaster Assistance Nonprofit Fairness Act, which would help Houses of Worship recover from natural disasters such as floods. FEMA has argued that Houses of Worship are precluded by law from being interpreted as facilities that provide essential services of a governmental nature—a prohibition that does not align with facts on the ground.
Tax Season Sees Increase In IRS Scammers
usually alter the caller ID to make it look like the IRS is calling. “I can adamantly tell you these calls are scams because the IRS does not solicit information by telephone,” Vicari said. “If the IRS needs information from you they will first write a letter.” Victims are often told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting. Or, victims may be told they have a refund due to try to trick them into sharing private information. If the phone isn’t answered, the scammers often leave an “urgent” callback request. Vicari said the IRS will never: Call to demand immediate payment using a specific payment method such as a prepaid debit card, gift card
or wire transfer. Threaten to immediately bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying. Demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe. Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone. “Scammers change tactics from year to year and there are variations of this scam that run year-round,” Vicari said. “Phishing is another form of an IRS scam.” Phishing, which are emails that look like they are from the IRS, has seen a surge this year. Scammers email a potential victim trying to trick them into giving them their personal and financial information. “If you receive one of these emails do not respond or click the link in them,” Vicari warned. Following are some tips on how to avoid being scammed: Shred, Shred, Shred - Be sure to shred all documents
containing personal information, such as your Social Security number, home address, and birth date. Spend a little extra and get a cross-cut shredder. File income taxes early and file electronically – If you beat the scammer by filing early, they can’t file on your behalf. Filing electronically can help keep your financial information secure by making sure a paper document with your Social Security number, address, salary and bank account informa-
tion does not get diverted through the mail. Protect your computer – If preparing and filing a return on your own make sure you use security software that updates automatically. Essential tools include a firewall, virus/malware protection and file encryption for sensitive date. Vicari also recommends checking your credit report at least annually and your bank and credit card statements often. Vicari noted that unfor-
“Houses of Worship are usually the first to open their doors to victims of these disasters and the last to turn the lights off during the cleanup efforts,” said Smith. “It is unconscionable that foundational pillars of our communities have been categorically denied access to these otherwise generally-available funds.” Smith’s bill, originally co-sponsored by Rep. Grace Meng (NY-06) and Rep. Pete King (NY-02), has previously passed the house 354 -72, however was not taken up before the Senate. Smith plans on reintroducing this legislation later this congress.
tunately personal account information is often lost and stolen and it’s best to keep close track of all of your accounts for possible fraud. “You are entitled to a free credit report from the three major credit reporting companies annually,” Vicari said. “Keeping track of your credit rating might help stop any attempt at stealing your identity.” For additional information contact the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs at 732-929-2105.

The movie will be shown on April 6 at 1 p.m. Henpecked at home by his demanding wife Agatha and more or less ignored by his daughter Myrtle, Egbert Sousé sets off for the day. He comes across a movie shoot whose drunken director hasn’t shown up for work and Egbert, saying he has experience, is hired. Afterward, he gets credit for stopping bank robbers and is rewarded with a job as the bank guard. He seems headed for trouble
however when he convinces his son-in-law Og, a teller at the same bank, to use $500 for a “can’t lose” investment. The investment is a scam however and when the bank examiner arrives, things looks bad for them. In this story about an ordinary man who has an extraordinary day, all turns out well in the end. The cast includes: W.C. Fields, Cora Witherspoon and Una Merkel. This comedy film is 72 minutes long. There is no registration for this free adult program. For more information go online to theoceancountylibrary.org or call 732-6577600. The Manchester Branch of the Ocean County Library is located at 21 Colonial Drive.

at the tombs and resting places of former presidents, other famous Americans and at certain memorials of historical significance. Prior to August 1966, there was no particular pattern to the list that was maintained, and examination of the files reveal that the occasions were built up over the years upon the request of various private and public organizations that were interested in particular dates. The repeated placement of a number of these wreaths through the years led to the development of the “President’s Approved Wreath List” approved by President Johnson on August 11, 1966, and further expanded with the passing of additional former presidents.

Lakehurst Students Present First Ever Literacy Fair
LAKEHURST – Students at Lakehurst Elementary School showed their best writing at the school’s first Literacy Fair in March. The event, co-sponsored by the Lakehurst Education Association, Board of Education, and PTA showcased each classroom’s writing activities and allowed parents and guests to see the progress students were making in literacy across all subject areas. The Literacy Fair has joined the school’s Science Fair and Art Fair as a way to connect the student’s work to the community. More than 250 people of all ages attended the Literacy Fair, and enjoyed the many displays and activities that were set up in the school gymnasium. Dr. Clifford Barneman, Assistant Superintendent of Special Programs, stated the importance of celebrating the hard work that the students have been doing in school. “Showing the student’s work lends credibility to their assignments. They realize that we take their efforts seriously and we are proud of the work they produce. Allowing them to display their work makes it authentic, and will motivate them to continue to work hard to learn and try new things.” Kindergarten through eighth-grade was repre-

sented at the event, as well as special areas such as Spanish and technology classes. The “Project Academically Talented” students presented a “wax museum” display, for which they dressed as famous characters in literature and acted out short skits for visitors. The technology display was a hands-on display, featuring online student blogs that the 3rd and 5th graders at the school were working on. Even math, social studies and science was represented, showing the importance of literacy across all academic disciplines. “The turnout of families who supported us, as well as our PTA Book Fair that evening, was beyond anything we could have hoped for,” added Susan Kotch, Title 1 Literacy teacher at the school who co-coordinated the event. “Our students are very fortunate to have such a supportive community to cheer on their successes at school. We are very grateful for that.” The school will be planning a Technology Night to showcase how technology is integrated into the learning process as well. Hands-on activities and presentations will show parents how their children use technology as learning tools in their classrooms.

Five Ways You Can Damage Your Hearing Without Knowing It
DESKTOP
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 be-

ginning 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.

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.

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 fi re 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 flooding. 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.
Earthquake insurance Most standard homeowners insurance poli- Marc S. Galella Esq. cies 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.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Twins Feud, Mother Worries
Dear Joel, I never thought this could happen. I am the mother of twin boys (now men). All their lives they’ve been the best of friends. 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. Why 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. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

With 7 out of 10 people experiencing low back pain at some point in their lives and low back pain being one of the most common reasons for patient visits to primary care physicians as well as hospitalization, there is no doubt that low back pain exists in epidemic proportions today. Spinal decompression therapy can be used to treat disc bulges and herniations, disc degeneration, sciatica, spinal stenosis, arthritis, facet syndrome and chronic back pain in the low back. Our Vax-D Spinal decompression system is FDA cleared, and has been statistically proven to relieve the pain associated with disc degeneration, herniated discs, facet syndrome and sciatica. Surgical decompression may be warranted for candidates who fail a conservative trial of Vax-D treatment. If you have back and/or neck pain, you may be a candidate for one of our programs. At our office we will give you an honest and fair assessment of your condition and whether or not we can help you.
“Did you know that 30 million Americans suffer from back pain every day? We are the doctors of Northeast Spine and Sports Medicine, and if you suffer with lower back or leg pain, we invite you to try Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. This pain affects everything that you do, from work to play, and ultimately your quality of life. We are here to tell you that there is hope. You can get rid of your back pain and get your life back. At Northeast Spine and Sports Medicine, we have helped thousands of back pain sufferers just like you. We only offer the most advanced surgical and non-surgical treatments. We are confident that we can help eliminate your back pain and have opened our schedule to accept the first 30 callers. The only thing you have to lose is your pain.” - The Doctors at Northeast Spine and Sports Medicine
Live Pain Free Sports Medicine. Numerous clinical studies are available for review at www.vax-d.com.
Northeast Spine and Sport’s Customized Back Pain Program
Why Northeast Spine and Sports Medicine?
Who can you trust for back pain solutions? Do you visit a chiropractor, medical doctor, physical therapist or acupuncturist? How much time does it take to visit all four offices? With varying recommendations, what is the best option for your specific condition? Relax! We have all options available at Northeast Spine and Sports Medicine. Your specific condition will be evaluated by several doctors before a treatment plan is customized. Not only do we have excellent doctors, we use advanced medical equipment. This combination is what makes all the difference.
It’s not always “what we provide” that makes us different, as it is “how we provide it” that sets us apart from the rest. Our doctors and staff have the technology and experience to help you feel better. We have over 15 years of experience in helping thousands of patients find lasting relief. From the moment you walk in, you will notice the comfortable setting along with the warm greeting from our staff at the front desk. We can already assume that you don’t feel well and going to a new office for help can sometimes be uncomfortable. Our goal is to make you feel as comfortable and welcome as possible.
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.”

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. Communications could become frequent and complicated as activity levels increase. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Regroup to regain ground. Some friends may come and some may go 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.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sparkle and shine as you network your way to the top in the week to come. Rather than using the same old tactics when dealing with relationships and business matters you might find it suits you better to try something new. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Friendships can be forged with flair. Put yourself in the public eye where your talents are better appreciated. You will find ingenious ways to overcome the objections of an opposing party in the week to come. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have a talent for taming technology. 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. You will get the best results by following the rules to the letter in the week ahead.

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.
