By Judy Smestad-Nunn OCEAN COUNTY – The 18 Ocean County police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty were honored and celebrated during the 26th Annual Ocean County Law Enforcement Memorial Day Observance, held at the police academy on Friday, May 19.

“Today we remember the officers who lost

their lives in the line of duty, and to remember the lives they led,” said Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, who was one of the local government leaders who made comments during the ceremony. “They were heroes for the way they died, but also for the way they lived.”

Every 58 hours a police officer is killed in the line of duty across

the U.S., she said. So far this year, some 48 of f icer s have d ied.

The average age is 42 and the average time on the force is about 14.5 years.

Ocean County is no longer a sparsely populated sleepy hamlet as it was in the 1960s when the population wa s a b out 54,0 0 0, Haines said. Today there are over 600,000

residents - which swells to over one million in the summer - and with the increased population comes what used to be considered urban crimes, she said.

“At some time in each of our lives, a police officer will be there at our most vulnerable time,” Haines said. “Behind each police officer is their family, who every day says a prayer for

Teacher Contracts Still Under Debate

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – Educators showed up wearing their red shirts as a show of solidarity at the May 16 board of education meeting.

The dist r ict is cu rrently negotiating a new contract with the teacher’s union.

It was during public comment that Carol Ann Mould, for mer Jackson teacher and current Jackson Education Association president, received a standing ovation before add ressing the board and administration. She read from prepared remarks.

“We are dedicated, passionate, and devoted. We pour our hearts and souls into every student we work with, whether in the classroom, in the hallways, in the office, on the court, or out on the fields,” Mould said.

Her statement referenced teachers, guidance counselors, child study team members, paraprofessionals and secretaries.

“We come every year, and this year is extra special because on May 14 it has been 10 years,” she said. “Every year they say his name and the kids get to hear it.”

Ten years ago this month police officers came to her door at 6 a.m. with the terrible news.

“They came to notify me. That knock on my door was the worst day of my life,” Preslar said. “The kids kept me going.

They were four and five at the time and they needed a mom.”

People assume that since it’s been 10 years she is over her grief, she said, but it never ends.

“He’s missing everything. It’s not easy.

Sometimes you think you’re doing okay, but then something pops up. Grief surprises you,” Preslar said.

She honors her husband’s memory by participating in the annual Police Unity Tour, a 300-mile bike ride to raise awareness for law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty.

“It’s good to let your grief out. It’s healing,” Preslar said. “There’s always someone we can reach out to for help or support.”

Kelly Walsifer was only 24 in January 2011 when her fiance, Lakewood Police Officer Christopher Matlosz, 27, was shot in the head by someone he had stopped for routine questioning.

“I come here every year, I like to do it to remember him and see familiar faces,” she said.

“It’s been really, really hard with a lot of ups and downs.”

Walsifer came to the observance with her mother and her boyfriend of two years, who is also a police officer.

“You have to move on and move forward.

Christopher would want me to find love and find happiness and life again. That’s what he was all about,” she said.

Walsifer was the store manager at Williams Sonoma in Sea Girt on the day Matlosz was killed, and she recalled getting a text message from a friend asking if she knew which Lakewood police officer had been shot.

“I just knew. I tried to call him like a thousand times, and no one answered, so I called the Lakewood Police Department directly, and the police chief told me to go to Jersey Shore Medical Center,” she said. “It’s every person’s nightmare.”

Each of the family members were accompanied by a police officer and given a rose to lay on the police memorial there.

The event was hosted by the Ocean County Chiefs of Police Association with support from the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders.

Hundreds of area police officers attended the memorial observation, along with Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato, Ocean County Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy, local police chiefs, police motorcycle squads, bagpipes and honor guard.

The Ocean County Vocational Technical School Performing Arts Academy Vocal Ensemble and the Point Pleasant Borough High School Panther Concert Band performed for the attendees.

Debate:

Continued From Page 1 respectfully understand and acknowledge your obligation to do what is best on behalf of the community, but we equally acknowledge your obligation to do what is best on behalf of your employees,” Mould said.

After the meeting, Mould spoke further about the negotiations. While neither side is allowed to speak on specifics of the negotiations, Mould did say that one concern is employee’s contribution to their health benefits packages.

Chapter 78, New Jersey’s pension and health benefits reform, requires that “the percentage rate of contribution is determined based on the employee’s annual salary and the selected level of coverage.

The increased employee contributions will be phased in over a 4-year period with a minimum contribution required to be at least 1.5 percent of salary,” according to State records.

Jackson school union employees have reached that tier-4 level. While employees are mandated to contribute a minimum of 1.5 percent of their annual salary toward health benefits, the district can require they contribute more to lessen the burden on the district and, ultimately, the taxpayers.

The Jackson Times sought comment from board and administrative officials and asked who was participating in the negotiations and how close those members thought a contract was to being settled.

There was no response by press time.

The board and administrators were recognizing students and staff for various accomplishments, including Elms Principal Michael Burgos and staff Whitney DiBenedictis, Jacqueline Bell and Jessica Fioretti receiving a Sustainable Schools Grant, and teachers Harry Ferone and Ethan Noble recognizing their students’ wins at the Student Television Network convention in Anaheim, California.

Drone:

Continued From Page 1 Department.

They had three days of training online and in a classroom where they learned the software, and then they learned how to fly the drones by performing mock missions.

The officers fly the drones up to 400 feet, but they have the ability to reach 18,000 feet, explained lead instructor Chris Gibson, who has 22 years of experience operating, teaching and selling drones through his Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company Sentera LLC. The Project Lifesaver drone can fly in any weather and can fly twice as long as other drones, up to 50 minutes, he said.

Operators use a directional antenna that can turn on a pirouette, Gibson said. The range of the beacon is seven miles, and most “wanderers” are found within a few miles from wherever they left. The drone could also carry a camera to help locate people who are not wearing a tracking device.

“They are very easy to fly,” said helicopter pilot Wydrozynski. “This drone can do a lot of things. You can program a flight plan so it can fly by itself,” he said as he was doing a practice run at the Ocean County Police Academy on May 19.

Gibson, the instructor, agreed with him.

“For example, you could program it to do a mapping mission or document a forest fire, flood or traffic accident,” he explained. “The officer is still in control,

The Jackson Times, May 27, 2017, Page 5 but he can just watch while he’s doing something else.”

Ocean County has been using drones for law enforcement since 2014 and now the Sheriff’s Department has five drones and one underwater drone that all have different sets of requirements, Gibson said.

Mastronardy said that before the FAA changed the rules, drone operators needed to have a pilot’s license, even for law enforcement use.

Drones can be used by the Office of Emergency Management for before and after coastal storms, Mastronardy said.

They can also be used for search and rescue missions, traffic control, crowd control, and much more.

Project Lifesaver trainer Gary Reynolds said he travels to all 50 states to teach the technology to police officers and firefighters and how to interact with special needs people.

Reynolds, who is a police officer from Lynchburg, VA, said that there are only two police departments in the world utilizing this technology: Somerset County Sheriff’s Department, and now the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department.

“We hope that within the next year it will become a nationwide,” Reynolds said.

The cost of the Project Lifesaver drone was $48,000 and $7,500 for training. The first drone purchased by the Sheriff’s Department was paid for by the Ocean County Sheriff’s Foundation, and the others were supported by the Sheriff’s Department Budget, approved by the Board of Freeholders, said Mastronardy.

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

NEW JERSEY – A resolution commemorating the 95th anniversary of the first graduating class of Ne w Je r s e y’s St a t e Police, sponsored by Assembly Republicans Ron Dancer, Nancy F. Muñoz and Anthony M. Bucco, was advanced by the General Assembly on May 22.

“At a time when the law enforcement community a r ou nd t he c ou nt r y i s

N EW J ERSEY – Assemblyman Ron Dancer’s legislation to move local fire district elections from Febr u a r y to November cleared the General Assembly on May 22.

“Only 2 percent of voters

Dancer Bill Saluting Creation Of The New Jersey State Police Passes Assembly under attack, it’s especially important to take a moment to honor and commemorate New Jersey’s finest for a job well done,” said Dancer (R – Ocean). “The members and staff of New Jersey’s State Police comprise one of the most prestigious law enforcement agencies in the nation and world.

These exceptional men and women put their lives

on the line every day to serve and protect.”

Herbert Norman S c h w a r z k o p f , a We s t Point graduate, was appointed as the agency’s f irst super intendent on July 1, 1921. Its success is attributed to his vision for expanding the state police’s mission beyond the apprehension of criminals.

“New Jersey’s State Po-

lice have served our state and its residents with integrity and professionalism for nearly a century,” said Muñoz (R – Union).

“Since that first graduating class in March 1921, our state police force has embraced then Superintendent Schwa r z kopf ’s vision. Tod ay they a re instrumental in preventing crimes by educating the public about ways to

protect themselves and their neighborhoods. This resolution demonstrates our gratitude for all they do.”

participate in fire elections. The record speaks for itself,” said Dancer (R – Ocean). “More people will come out to vote in November. It just makes sense, particularly given the extra cost of conduct-

ing these special elections early in the year.”

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

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

The measure follows the success of a 2012 law that allowed school districts

the option to move their s ch o ol ele c t io n s f r o m April to November. By 2016, all but 17 districts held November elections a c c o r d i ng t o t he Ne w Jersey School Boards Association.

‘honor, duty and fidelity,’ New Jersey’s State Police not only per for m thei r ever yday duties in ou r com mu n it ies, but t hey are often called upon to support localities around the country during disaster relief efforts and civil unrest,” said Bucco (R – Morris). “They go above and beyond to safeguard our citizens here in New Jersey and beyond.”

“The Legislature gave school boards the option.

Our volunteer and professional firemen deserve the same options as schools,” said Dancer. “It will increase voter participation and save taxpayer money.”

Ocean County Pumpout Boats Ready For The Season

TOMS RIVER – Now in its 20th year, Ocean County’s pumpout boats will take to the Barnegat Bay Memorial Day weekend making certain boat wastewater is managed properly and boaters are enjoying the bay safely.

“I recently met with all of our boat captains and the other partners in this program and it was unanimous – we are expecting a great summer season here in Ocean County,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to tourism. “Barnegat Bay is an environmental jewel and our pumpout boats help i n ou r conti nui ng effort to protect and preserve it.

“Our captains also provide additional eyes for recreational boaters making certain they are safe on the water,” he said.

Ocean County operates the largest pumpout boat program in the state including the first pumpout in New Jersey, The Circle of Life, which started service 20 years ago.

“I want to acknowledge all of our par tners that m a ke t h i s p r og r a m s o successful,” Vicari said. “ We have g row n f rom operating one boat that focused on the area of the northern barrier island to six that allows us to cover the entire bay and its tributaries.”

T he par t ners include Brick Township, the Tuck-

erton Seaport and Baymen’s Museum, Seaside Park, and the Ocean County Utilities Authority. The state Department of Environ mental Protection also provides some funds to offset the operational costs. And, the boats, with the exception of the Circle of Life, were all purchased

by Ocean County with the costs being reimbursed through the Clean Vessel Ac t G r a nt a nd t he NJ Shore-to-Please license plate program. The Circle of Life was purchased by Seaside Park.

“With the ongoing cooperation of all these groups and agencies, this program has been recognized statewide and nationally for its outstanding per-

for mance in protecting the environment,” Vicari said.

Since the program began in 1997, more than 70,000 recreational boats have used the free service and over 1.4 million gallons of eff luent have been disposed of properly.

Ocean County’s pumpout boats are specially equipped vessels capable of emptying the on-board toilets and tanks of other boats, thus keeping waste from entering the bay. The boats cover different areas of t he bay t h rou g hout Ocean County. The pumpout boats can be accessed by contacting the captains on VHF Radio Channel 9. In addition, cell phone numbers for the captains are listed on the program’s website and in promotional materials.

The costs to operate all t he boat s a re split be tween the county and the

Ocean County Utilities Authority.

“The $120,000 budget covers the boat captains, fuel, maintenance, insurance and other incidental costs,” Vicari said. “This allows the service to be provided free of charge to boaters.”

Six of the boats operate regularly in the greater Barnegat Bay area while the Circle of Life, is currently used as a backup for busy weekends.

Vicari said the pumpout boat program is essential for a county like Ocean County which relies on tourism for its economic base.

“When boaters are unable to use the many pumpouts based at the marinas throughout the County, they should be using the pumpout boats,” he said.

“We now operate six pumpout boats regularly that are helping us do our part

to keep Barnegat Bay and its tributaries clean. We encourage all of our boaters who are out enjoying the bay and our rivers to use this free service and prevent waste water pollutants from entering our waterways.”

The boats operate Memorial Day weekend through October each year, including major holidays like July 4, and have steadily ex pa nde d t hei r op e r ations.

Vicari again credited the boat captains for being “our eyes and ears on the water.”

“They can quickly notify us of any problems,” Vicari said. “They serve as our ambassadors on the water.”

Ocean County Hunger Relief Open House

TOMS RIVER – Ocean County Hunger Relief is hosting an open house on June 15 from 4 to 6 p.m. at 21 Germania Station Road (between BJ’s and Mule Road).

The community is invited to stop by and meet board members, staff and enjoy light refreshments. Stop by the thrift shop, bring donations, sign up to volunteer and learn about other ways you can help our neighbors in need. If you have any questions, please call 732-505-4357.

Ocean County Hunger Relief wants to thank the surrounding community for lending its support since 1981. Monetary and product donations gave us the ability to grow and expand services. We were able to go from 400 square feet to a 15,000 square foot full service outreach center.

In 1981, we originally started providing emergency food assistance from a network of food pantries in churches strategically placed throughout Ocean County. We added a food

bank that can hold 70 pallets of food. After we assisted thousands who were affected by Superstorm Sandy with free, new products, we now have a full service thrift shop open to the public Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. We work with voucher programs and are also assisting the homeless in many ways.

If you are in trouble, there are three places to go for help: Family Government Faith based groups The government is downsizing assistance and sometimes families are not in a position to be able to help. However, you can always count on assistance from the faith based. They are unsung heroes who work hard, many times for free, giving from their hearts. The world needs love, and love in action speaks for itself. At Ocean County Hunger Relief we believe, “The Art of Living Comes From the Heart of Giving.”

–Photo courtesy Bartley Healthcare Bartley Healthcare employees and residents participated in The MS Walk in Lake Como on April 30.

JACKSON – On April 30, Bartley Healthcare’s team of employees and residents participated in The MS Walk in Lake Como, New Jersey. Every year, Bartley participates in various fundraisers to donate and raise money towards a meaningful cause. This year, Bartley Healthcare and The Orchards Assisted Living raised $500. The company then matched that amount, making its total donation to the MS Society $1,000.

Bartley’s team included four residents that have been diagnosed with MS. One of the residents that participated in the walk, Lorraine Wilkowski, said, “The medal that you get for walking is the most important thing for me, because that means that we are all in this together; we all walk together.”

Multiple sclerosis, or MS, can affect the brain, spinal cord and the optic nerves in your eyes.

The effects are different for everyone who has the disease. Some people have mild symptoms and don’t need treatment. Others will have trouble getting around and doing daily tasks.

MS occurs when the immune system attacks a fatty material called myelin, which wraps around your nerve fibers to protect them.

Without this outer shell, your nerves become damaged. The damage means your brain can’t send signals through your body correctly. Your nerves also don’t work as they should to help you move and feel.

The first symptoms often start between ages 20 and 40. Some early symptoms of MS can be blurred vision, thinking problems, lack of coordination, loss of balance, numbness and tingling or weakness in an arm or leg. Most

people with MS have attacks, also called relapses, when the condition gets noticeably worse.

They’re usually followed by times of recovery when symptoms improve. For other people, the disease continues to get worse over time. In recent years, scientists have found many new treatments that can often help prevent relapses and slow the disease’s effects, but there is no cure for this disease, thus far.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, you are not alone. The National MS Society is the trusted resource for reliable information, education, referral and support to millions of people affected by the disease.

You can always reach them at 800-344-4867 or visit their website at nationalmssociety.org.

For over 31 years, Bartley Healthcare has provided quality individual focused memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation and assisted living services for residents on its 25-acre campus in Jackson, New Jersey. As Bartley’s MS population has grown, meeting the medical and social needs of residents with MS has become an area of special focus. Founded in 1985, Bartley Healthcare has long been recognized as an award winning, quality leader with the experience in memory care, skilled nursing, post-acute care and assisted living, having been listed by U.S. News & World Report as one of America’s Best Nursing Homes. Bartley Healthcare is Joint Commission accredited, with special certification for their Memory Care and Post-Acute Programs.

This project brings Holocaust and genocide education to students in the elementary grades in an age-appropriate and meaningful program of humanitarian education infused into art and writing explorations. Students will create and express ideas and ideals.

The suitcase becomes a powerful metaphor for what is inside of a person. We are reminded of the one suitcase that people during the Holocaust were allowed to pack as they were forced to leave their homes. Many refugees flee their homes during present day historic times with only a suitcase or less to start their new lives.

Family nights are planned. A visiting author/artist will work with second graders. A trip in search of liberty is planned for the whole second grade in

Philadelphia. Holocaust survivors and refugees will visit and talk to the students. The second graders will share the suitcase project with all of the other grades in the elementary school.

The teachers involved will create professional development sessions for teachers seeking information on teaching the Holocaust through literature, art and writing. How can we reach into our suitcase and try to make the world a better place? We are excited to begin this journey of humanitarian education.

Jackson Police Department Patrol Blotter

JACKSON – The following is a sample of incidents that Jackson Patrol Officers responded to on over the weekend of May 12 and 13. This does not represent all of the calls for service that were responded to during this time period.

Any persons arrested or charged with offenses are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Additionally, ex-

cept in specific circumstances, arrest and complaint information filed with the court is public information and names of those charged may be released.

Friday, May 12: DWI Arrest: At 2:47 a.m., Police Officer Wes Thomason was working a detail for a road closure due to work being done on East Veterans Highway when a 1999 Honda

entered the work zone. The driver appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and was placed under arrest during the investigation.

The 24-year-old male resident of Yardley, Pennsylvania was charged with driving while intoxicated and other offenses. He was processed and released on summons pending a court appearance.

CDS Arrest: At 11:14 a.m., while working a

detail at Six Flags Great Adventure, Police Officer Cherrick Daniels responded to a report of a female attempting to enter the park with what appeared to be cocaine in her possession. The 30-year-old female from Flushing, New York was placed under arrest and transported to police headquarters for processing. She was charged with possession of cocaine and released on summons pending a court appearance.

CDS Arrest: At 9:25 p.m., while working a directed enforcement detail comprised of officers assigned to the evening and overnight squads, Police Officers Keith French and Wes Thomason were on patrol in the Willow Point Complex, located on East Commodore Boulevard. While checking the complex, the officers observed a parked 2002 Jeep occupied by two subjects, and as they approached the vehicle on foot, were able to detect the odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. A search resulted in the seizure of suspected marijuana and paraphernalia. An 18-year-old female resident of Jackson was placed under arrest and charged with possession of marijuana. She was processed and released on summons pending a court appearance.

First Aid/Overdose: At 10:30 p.m., officers responded to a residence on Jackson Mills Road to a report of a possible overdose.

The officers located a 19-year-old male who appeared unconscious and seated in a parked vehicle in the driveway. Upon shining a flashlight on the male, he became alert and conscious. The male was treated

by First Aid but declined further treatment.

Suspected heroin was recovered and seized, but the male was not charged per the Overdose Prevention Act. CDS/Sexual Assault Arrest: At 11:35 p.m., while working a directed enforcement detail, Police Officers Michael Kelly and Derek Thomason were on patrol making observations of subjects in a 2005 Dodge acting suspiciously in the parking lot of the Wawa located on East Veterans Highway and South Hope Chapel Road. After observing an occupant discard litter from the vehicle into the lot, the officers approached the vehicle and observed a female in the front seat who was partially disrobed as the male driver was committing a lewd act on her. The officers also made observations of drug paraphernalia in plain view, and further investigation resulted in the seizure of glass pipes used to smoke crack cocaine, suspected stolen clothing and impoundment of the vehicle. The following investigation resulted in a 30-year-old female being charged with: possession of crack cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia and receiving stolen property. She was processed and released on summons pending a court appearance. A 62-year-old female was charged with: possession of drug paraphernalia and receiving stolen property.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

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

Get More Life From Your Batteries Getting maximum life and value from your hearing aid batteries is easy if you follow a few simple tips from Dr. Izzy.

Buy the right batteries. Make sure that your batteries have an expiration date on them. Popular brands include Rayovac, Power One and Energizer.

Remove tabs when you’re ready to use. When you remove the colored tab, you activate the battery. Wait about one minute before inserting the battery in the battery door. Oxygen has to charge up the battery. As long as you leave the tab in place, the battery air hole is sealed and the battery freshness is preserved. Once the tab is removed,

replacing it will not extend battery life.

Store unused batteries properly. Keep batteries in the original card, stored at room temperature until needed. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat and never put them in the refrigerator.

Also, contact with metal objects, such as keys or coins, can cause a battery to short circuit.

Bid your batteries a proper “good night.” Switching off your hearing aid when not in use prolongs battery life.

To make sure the hearing aid is off, simply open the battery door. This also helps dissipate moisture, which is a top enemy of hearing aids and batteries.

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!

Ocean County Health Department Makes A Splash To Ensure Your Day At The Beach Is A Blast

OCEAN COUNTY – One of the nation’s longest running and most comprehensive beach testing programs will once again monitor Ocean County’s ocean, bay, river and lake beaches this summer season. “The Ocean County Health Department will be back inspecting the water quality every week at 52 public bathing beaches throughout the county from mid-May through Labor Day 2017,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health.

Each week the OCHD tests water samples from the county’s salt and freshwater swimming beaches. The water is tested for two types of bacteria – enterococcus and fecal coliform. If the results come back with higher than acceptable levels, the water is immediately retested. After the second high reading, the beach is closed and tested daily until bacteria levels return to normal. “We can all help to keep our waterways and beaches clean by picking up after our pets and not throwing trash or cigarette butts onto the streets,” said Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, who is also liaison to the Office of Tourism and Business Development. “This waste eventually washes into lakes, rivers and the bay and contributes to our beach closings.”

You can help to protect your health while swimming at the beach by taking these simple steps: Observe Swimming Advisories – do not enter the water at a beach under a swimming advisory.

Avoid swallowing water when swimming – natural waters may contain disease-causing

organisms that can cause gastrointestinal illness if swallowed.

Avoid swimming for a few days after heavy rainfall – bacteria levels are likely to be high and disease-causing organisms are more likely to be present after rainfall due to pollution from land runoff and other sources.

Prevent direct contact of cuts and open wounds – natural waters may contain disease-causing organisms that may cause skin infections.

Do not swim if you are ill or have a weakened immune system – some organisms are opportunistic and may only cause illness when you are already ill or your immune system is weakened.

Shower with soap after swimming – showering helps remove potential disease-causing organisms.

Swim away from fishing piers, pipes, drains and water flowing from storm drains onto a beach.

Do not dispose of trash, pet waste, or dirty diapers on the beach.

Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator, advises, “The Ocean County Health Department posts on its website a list of all 52 beaches within the monitoring program, the weekly water quality reports and any closures so residents and visitors can have up to date information before hitting the beach this summer.”

For more information regarding the OCHD water-monitoring program, please call 732-3419700, ext. 7471 or follow the Health Department on Twitter @OCpublichealth or like us on Facebook.

Not To Freak You Out, But We’re Kind Of Dirty

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Most of us don’t allow our home get filthy and disgusting, we clean it up from time to time, right? We throw out trash, do dishes, dust and vacuum. So how come some people let toxins build up and get nasty inside the body?

We have so many antioxidants and natural chelating supplements that ‘vacuum and dust’ our bodies. Sweating is actually the easiest and fastest way to clear toxins, plus, by moving lymph, you filter out the sticky poisons.

If you think you’re ‘clean’ don’t be so quick to dismiss me because if you eat and drink (by drink, I mean anything including water, but you can certainly insert soda, alcohol or coffee) you should continue reading. Many of the things we naively ingest stick to our colon and spawn free radicals, raising risk of stomach and colon cancer (all cancers for that matter), as well as heart disease.

Our planet is a mess. Google Kamilo Beach in Hawaii to see. Chemicals and pesticides routinely flow through our bodies. Babies are born with over 200 chemicals according to umbilical cord studies! Then some idiot panel decided that newborns should get ‘stuck’ with about 36 immunizations comprised of more chemicals, metals or half-dead viruses within weeks of their first breath. Since their liver isn’t even completely operational, multiple shots with different chemicals could stockpile or collide. My point is cellular garbage accumulates.

One tuna fish sandwich contains so much mercury, nutritional guidelines recommend limiting tuna. It’s in the water, and injected into some amalgams. We can’t get away from toxins, so I recommend becoming proactive

before disabilities set in, before we’ve had an opportunity to skydive, visit Paris, or ride in a hot air balloon.

The brain is made of fat so that’s where toxins accumulate, causing neurological symptoms of an unexplained nature, what your doctor calls “idiopathic.” Vague symptoms of toxic overload include fatigue, diarrhea, brain fog, anxiety, insomnia, obesity, DNA damage (cancer), menstrual irregularities and blood sugar problems. I’ve written a longer version of this article, now posted at my website if you’re interested in more ‘red alert’ symptoms, as well as more solutions.

Today let’s all unite and do some exercise (do anything!) and eat some organic fruit, cook up veggies tonight and skip the soda. That last one is not only fattening, but expensive. Soda makes me burp, is that TMI? As for natural ‘chelating’ detoxification supplements, one of many to consider is chlorella.

This tiny microalgae acts like a wet sponge and soaks up dirt stuck inside your gut. Some theorize it can bind to heavy metals, medications, pesticides and plasticizers that might be hiding inside the folds of your intestines. Chlorella is an awesome superfood, getting its green color from the chlorophyll (which tints leaves green).

You can buy chlorella supplements or (superfood green powdered drink mixes that contain chlorella) at any health food store or online store. Since it’s a breath freshener, you might notice that it improves your kiss-ability. Start with the lowest dose possible because a big dose could trigger a detoxification response, especially if you have been exposed to a moldy house in the past.

wife probably loves you more for giving her time with her mother. Don’t let it get to you, and instead, use that time to do all the things you need or want to do.

Inside The Law Insurance For Homeowners

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Marc S. Galella, 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 fire, 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 Marc S. Galella Esq. coverage for the contents of your house.

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.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Expert Audiologist At New Jersey Hearing & Tinnitus Center

By Robert Verderese Choosing the right hearing professional is the most important decision you will make when confronting a hearing issue. At New Jersey Hearing & Tinnitus Center, Dr. Jennifer Elfert can help you with any hearing issue you might have. Providing a broad range of services including hearing testing, hearing aid selection and fitting, evaluation and treatment of communication disorders,

and a specialization in tinnitus, Dr. Elfert offers cutting-edge hearing care with compassion for you and your lovedones.

Dr. Jennifer Elfert grew up in Brooklyn, New York and attended Hofstra University where she attained a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree and subsequently earned her Doctor of Audiology degree from

the University of Florida. She began her career at a reputable New York City office before moving to New Jersey, where she honed her skills working at various prestigious medical centers throughout the state until she opened her own office in Howell.

When asked why she chose to become an audiologist, Dr. Elfert replied: “While I was in college as a pre-law major, I got an ear infection and I couldn’t

hear for t wo weeks, so I ended up seeing an audiologist. When I fi nally got my hearing back, I knew for certain that I wanted to dedicate my life to audiology.”

The experience of not being able to hear for two weeks had a profound affect on Dr. Elfert in that it shed light on the importance of good hearing as it relates to our overall quality of life.

“Good hearing allows us to live our everyday lives without limitations.

Hearing connects our lives together. Hearing our family, friends and neighbors is a vital part of our everyday life,” Dr. Elfert expresses with unbridled passion.

So what is it that differentiates Dr. Elfer t from other audiologists?

For starters, Dr. Elfert and her office manager, Maria Cohen, will make you feel totally at home: “I take great pride in taking care of eac h patient as if they were my own family member and afford them the best possible h e a r i n g o utcome. There is no other office that spends more time with patients than mine,” Dr. Elfert explains. To be sure, Dr. Elfert’s patient-centered approach is the cornerstone of her practice. She will work closely with you to discover the exact nature of your hearing issue and collaborate with you to determine the best solution for you.

As someone who has been an Audiologist

Dr. Jennifer Elfert for eighteen years, Dr. Elfert has observed and kept abreast of all of the most recent technologies and advancements in her field: “One of the benefits of entering the field in 1999, when there was, essentially, no technology available, is that I am living through ever ything as it is changing—and changes in the hearing aid industry have been unbelievable!” Dr. Elfert explains. Indeed, as the evolution of digital sound technology continues to improve the performance of hearing instruments, Dr. Elfert will offer innovative products and services to you that are tailored to your individual needs.

Additionally, Dr. Elfert will help you navigate through the oft-confusing and complex world of hearing aids in her welcoming, no -pressure of fice. She will first conduct a hearing test and thorough au-

“

diological evaluation and then inform you of your hearing health and educate you on the best options for you that fit within your budget and lifestyle.

Then, once you are r e ady to have yo ur hearing aid fitted, Dr.

nal sound is present: “I understand tinnitus from start to finish and am passionate about ameliorating this condition for my patients,” Dr. Elfert says. As one of the most esteemed tinnitus specialists in the state of New Jersey, she will help you identify and treat this bedeviling condition and give you back an optimal quality of life that you deserve!

To get more information about Dr. Jennifer Elfert’s practice, you can call her office at 732-942-7220 or visit her website at njhearingandtinnitus.com.

The office hours are Monday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday. The office is closed on Saturday and Sunday. Dr. Jennifer Elfert’s offi ce is conveniently located on 4691 Route 9 North in Howell, New Jersey.

Good hearing allows us to live our everyday lives without limitations Elfer t will walk you through all the steps concerning the proper way to put the hearing aid in the ear and how to take it out, the best way to clean and take care of your hearing aid, and how you should go about changing the batteries of your device.

While the superlatives come thick and fast where New Jersey Hearing & Tinnitus is c oncerned, perhaps none is more impressive than Dr. Elfert’s expertise in the treatment of tinnitus—the perception of sound in the ears or head where no exter-

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of May 27 - June 3

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may find yourself plagued by uncertainty or pressured by your peers. Focus on necessary tasks in the week ahead and do not be distracted by your own inner feelings of insecurity. Your perseverance will be rewarded.

The ambition on your mind this week is entirely achievable. There are plenty of people, in your own home or nearby, eager to help you achieve your goals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): New people or contacts in your life may be fascinating. You may be enamored by a new flame as this week unfolds, but need to wait to see if this latest passion lasts longer than the TV show you are watching this evening.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take the right turn on your career path. In the week ahead you might experience improved working conditions or find satisfaction in a special job.

Promises should be kept and obligations should be honored.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Every quid comes with a quo. The attitude of give and take always has to begin with giving on both sides.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It may be tempting to bring down the hammer on someone who is in error as this week unfolds. However, if you show leniency your kindnesses will be repaid in kind. Double check your addition and subtraction.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Cool Summer Quiche

By Wolfgang Puck I recently received one of the great honors of my career with the unveiling of my very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The best part of that day was that it took place in the presence of the people who make everything I do possible: the many chefs and other team members who work in my restaurants and catering company; and, most important, my family, especially my wife Gelila and my sons Cameron, Byron, Oliver and Alexander.

The occasion made me reflect on how much has changed since I arrived in Los Angeles back in 1975. Back then, not many people considered the city’s restaurant scene worthy of praise. I’m happy to say I played some part in changing people’s attitudes; and, of course, today LA is considered an exciting place to dine, with so many brilliant chefs and an incredible melting pot of culinary influences from Latin America, Asia and other parts of the globe.

I found a good example of how much everyone’s attitudes toward dining and cooking have changed while looking over my first cookbook, “Modern French Cooking for the American Kitchen,” published in 1981. Right there on page 40 is a recipe for quiche, which at the time was a staple on restaurant lunch menus everywhere.

Today, that savory tart of egg, bacon or ham, and cheese in a puff-pastry crust seems almost quaint; a retro dish sophisticated foodies might be tempted to joke about. Back then, however, food lovers were only recently discovering how good that specialty of northeastern France’s Lorraine region could be. It certainly made sense to include it in my book.

Since that time, quiche has never really gone away. You’ll find it in some casual cafes, often with imaginative variations including vegetarian versions that might offer a wide variety of different vegetables in place of the traditional cured pork.

I believe quiche still deserves a place on the tables of sophisticated cooks.

So, with that in mind, I’d like to share a fresh-tasting take on the classic: my recipe for smoked salmon quiche.

In place of the bacon or ham, I’ve substituted smoked salmon, which you’ll find in good supermarkets everywhere.

To make the relatively simple recipe even easier, I suggest you base your quiche’s crust on good-quality puff pastry, widely available in supermarket freezer cases, following the recipe’s instructions for partially baking the shell before filling it.

Serve the quiche for lunch, brunch, or even a light springtime or summer supper. One taste and I believe you’ll understand why quiche still deserves

to be considered a classic rather than a passing trend; it’s a star of the kitchen in its own right.

SMOKED SALMON QUICHE Serves 6 1 pound store-bought frozen puff pastry, thawed following manufacturer’s instructions 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon melted, remainder at room temperature 1 large egg yolk, lightly beaten, for egg wash 1/2 medium yellow onion, cut into 1/4inch (6-mm) dice 3/4 pound (360 g) good-quality thinly sliced smoked salmon, cut into strips about 1/4 by 1 inch (6 by 24 mm) 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill 3 ounces (90 g) Gruyere cheese, coarsely shredded 7 large eggs 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) heavy cream 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) milk 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C).

With the 1 tablespoon melted butter, grease the inside of a 10- or 11-inch (25- or 27.5-cm) quiche pan. Line the pan with the puff pastry, but do not trim the edges. Line the pastry with a sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper and fill with ceramic or aluminum baking beans, or dried beans; bake for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and lift out the foil or paper and the beans.

Brush the bottom of the crust with the egg wash and return the pan to the oven for 10 minutes more.

Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat.

Add the diced onion and saute, stirring frequently, until the onion is tender and translucent but not yet browning, 7 to 10 minutes.

Remove the baked quiche shell from the oven. Evenly sprinkle the sauteed onion inside the shell along with the smoked salmon, chives, dill and cheese.

In a large bowl, use a whisk to beat together the eggs, cream, milk, pepper and nutmeg until well blended. Pour the mixture into the shell. With a small sharp knife or kitchen shears, trim the edges of the quiche shell.

Carefully return the filled quiche shell to the 350 F (175 C) oven. Bake until the quiche filling has puffed up and turned golden brown, about 50 minutes.

To serve, use a sharp, serrated knife to cut the warm quiche into wedges.
