Manchester Students Can Get OCC Credits
By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – In September, Manchester will be trying out a prog ram to have some classes double as Ocean County College courses. Students will also be trying it out. If they are unsure of whether they want to attend college, they would be able to get a taste of it without leavi ng the fam iliar surroundings of Manchester Tow nship High School, Superintendent David Trethaway said. OCC would designate what Manchester classes would qualify for college credits, he said. Some advanced

Kids Can Vape Drugs, And Schools Have To Change Policies
By Kimberly Bosco and Chris Lundy M A NA H AW K I N – Despite advertising, e-cigarettes often contain more than just f lavored water. With the increasing popularity of vapes among the younger generation, schools have beg u n t o a dopt no-vaping policies that align with no-smoking policies on campus. Additionally, they have had to address the fact that many
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Manchester is seeking to perform its town-wide reassessment in-house at a million dollars’ savings, officials said. Township tax assessor Martin Lynch developed a reassessment plan that will cost $549,650, a plan the council approved to forward to the county tax board for consideration. Lynch estimated it would cost $1.62 million to outsource the reassessment. Mayor Kenneth Palmer broke it down further, telling The Manchester Times that an outside company charges $70 per home, while the township can do the same work in-house for about $20 per home. There are about 17,000 housing units in town, and with other costs involved in the reassessment, Lynch came up with his figure. There are a half dozen employees in the municipal tax assessor’s office. The township will hire one part-timer to assist in reassessments. “Additionally, by us doing it in-house, we don’t have to update our maps, which is a significant expense, probably to the tune of (Values - See Page 4)

students are using e-cigarettes to smoke marijuana derivatives. A study published in 2015 by the World Health Organization showed that many e-cigarettes contained nicotine even if they claimed they didn’t. Studies found other things in them, such as metals, microscopic particles, and carcinogens. At Southern Regional High School, Principal Eric Wilhelm said that the (Policies - See Page 18)

Continued From Page 1 $100,000 to $150,000,” Palmer said. The county tax board ordered Manchester, along with several other municipalities, to perform the reassessment. This is done when the average assessments of homes are more than 15 percent off of what the market is going for. Manchester was given the choice to either perform a revaluation or a reassessment. The only difference is that a reassessment is done in-house and a

Continued From Page 1 placement courses would be candidates. The students would pay a fee, stay at Manchester, and get the credits from OCC. It would be available to juniors and seniors. The program had been existing at Manchester on a smaller scale, he said, back when teachers needed to have a Masters degree in order to be considered. Now, OCC is more interested in the curriculum. If the course is college-level work, it can be considered. Lacey Township schools recently made a deal with OCC that students can graduate from Lacey schools with an Associate’s degree from OCC. Trethaway said the district isn’t there yet. The district wants to start small and see what kind of interest there is.
revaluation is done by an outside company. The end goal is the same in both situations. “What the true value of the housing market is and what we have on the books now is more out-of-balance than it should be,” Council President Craig Wallis said. “So the [tax board] ordered us to do it, and a few other towns, as we go through the years, they’ll be ordering more towns to do it.” Palmer said the reassessment must be completed by November 2020. The last reassessment was done in 2012,
The option will not cost taxpayers anything, since the cost will come from the families of the students. They will be paying $94.50 per credit. Students can take classes normally, and not pay extra for the college credits, if they choose, he added. The pilot program will run from September until June of 2021. The courses include: Public Speaking, Western Civics, Short Story, Film and Media as Literature, French 1 and 2, Intro to Sociology, Psychology, Marine Science Lab, Forensic Science, Intro to Computer Science, AP Language and Composition, AP Literature, AP U.S. History, AP World History, AP Spanish, AP Comparative Governments, AP Psychology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics, AP Environmental Science, AP Statistics, AP Calculus, and AP Human Geography.

when housing values had fallen dramatically. The market has regained and stabilized, Wallis said. Some residents will see an increase in their taxes, while others will see theirs decrease, and yet others remain around the same. Once the reassessments begin, residents will be asked to allow an inspector in their home for a brief evaluation of the home. Palmer said inspectors—township employees—will be wearing ID and Manchester Township shirts, and driving township ve-
hicles. It’s important to allow them into the home so they can make a fair assessment of the value. Otherwise, residents’ homes will be assessed at the highest value. “You will know who is a Manchester Township employee,” Palmer said. “Don’t let anyone in your house who doesn’t have our insignia, our car.” Palmer continued: “In order to complete the process properly, you need to allow access. We want to do a fair evaluation of someone’s home, and to complete the process the right way.”

Storm:
Continued From Page 1 for Monmouth and Ocean counties is in the low 50s this time of year. The northeast has been plagued with troughs—a meteorological term for areas of low atmospheric pressure—that traps cold air from Canada and moisture from the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico and amplifies and intensifies any disturbance, this time creating a nor’easter. The region has suffered four nor’easters in three weeks. Berkeley Township had the dubious distinction of being Number 1 in the area for snow accumulation. According to a televised weather report, snow in Bayville clocked in at 13.5 inches. It was also Number 1 during a Jan. 5 snowstorm. Dealing with this much wet, heavy snow was challenging, Mayor Carmen Amato said. “As I always say, with 271 miles of roadways and 300 culs-de-sac, it takes 24 hours for Public Works and our contractors to reach all streets,” he said. Downed trees slow down plowing operations as well. Jersey Central Power & Light was on site in town to respond to outages, he said. The parks department responded to more than 50 trees in the roadways. The volunteer fire companies ran throughout the night responding to calls. The final cost of the storm is yet unknown until the township gets billed by contractors, he said. Normally, towns set aside a budget for snow removal, but Berkeley is expected to use the budget up from the winter. Therefore, some of the cost of this storm will have to be raised in the 2018 budget. He thanked the employees as well as the volunteers for all their dedication. “Their work does not go unnoticed. We

The Manchester Times, March 31, 2018, Page 5 appreciate each and every one of them,” he said. The Beachwood Fire Department reported that the volunteer crew was going nonstop for more than 36 hours with snow related calls. Wires and trees were down throughout the area. They were urging residents not to go near any fallen or low hanging wires for fear of them being live. They also responded to a crash requiring extrication on Double Trouble Road. The crew thanked Pinewald Fire, Beachwood police and EMS, Bayville and South Toms River EMS, Mon-Oc paramedics, and an unnamed “off-duty” Manitou Park firefighter for their help at the crash. Manchester Township Police officials said that the excess of heavy, wet snow and winds caused numerous power lines and tree limbs to fall, causing damage in areas of the town and leaving nearly 1,600 residents without power. Various efforts were made by officials to mend the damages and keep residents safe during the storm. The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) put together a warming station at the Ridgeway Volunteer Fire Department
for those without power, where volunteers are helping residents and providing warm beverages and snacks. Manchester police was also responding to reports of dangerous or downed power lines and closing down hazardous roads, such as the 1300 block of Broadway Boulevard in Pine Lake Park. The front of this residence was torn off by downed power lines. Brick had about 10 inches of snow, Mayor John Ducey reported. The total cost of clean-up won’t be known until they get bills from the contractors. “The clean-up process went wonderful,” he said. “The timing of the snow helped as we did not hit 4 inches until around 7 p.m. Therefore, the plowing occurred overnight so there was not much traffic on the roads. People woke up and went to work with cleared roads or at the very least a clear path down the middle of the roads. All of the plowing, curb to curb, was completed by 1 p.m. Storm Proves Fatal Storms of this nature are usually more dangerous for those who already have serious medical ailments. In this case, it was
an 87-year-old Toms River woman who suffered from dementia and Alzheimer’s. Her family last saw her at midnight on the night of March 21. She had been home at the Oak Grove Mobile Home Park. At 4:30 a.m. on March 22, she was reported missing. After a search by police officers, East Dover Fire and EMS personnel, and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department K-9 Division, she was found at 6:20 a.m., deceased in the snow about a mile away. She wasn’t the only one who was affected. A homeless man living at a camp in the woods was injured when a large tree came down on the night of March 21, Toms River police reported. Ryan Payne, 40, was trying to get shelter during the snow storm Wednesday night when the tree came down, police said. He was alert and conscious upon police arrival. He had been living at the camp site, west of the Toms River Park and Ride, for about four months, according to another camper. Three other homeless people were transported to Haven “Beat the Streets” warming center located at the First Assembly of God Church on Bay Avenue. - Jennifer Peacock contributed to this story

Congressman Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. – Local New Jersey fi re departments can apply for federal grant funding to train more “front line” fi refighters, Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th) has announced.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker (both D-N.J.) urged the Department of Education to focus more on tangible ways to prevent gun violence in schools, instead of blaming last month’s shooting in Parkland, Florida on a 2014 directive on
The grant program is the Staffi ng for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program, which will provide $345 million in total grants for local fi re departments and volunteer interest organizations
around the country. The program is run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Departments can use the grants to hire more fi refighters, or retain and recruit more volunteer fi refighters, to increase their response capabilities to fires and other emergencies in their communities. “I highly encourage local career and volunteer fire departments to consider ap-
plying for this SAFER grant program,” Rep. Smith stated. “I have seen first-hand the role this support can play in increasing the effectiveness of our first response teams, which are so vital to the well-being and safety of our communities. The men and women who serve our communities deserve all the support they need.” The FY 2017 SAFER grant application period began on Monday, March 26, and ends on Friday, April 27 at 5 p.m. Interest-
ed organizations can fi nd the guidance materials in applying for grants here. This year’s FY 2017 grant program includes an important addition—more available funding for applicants under the category of “Hiring of Firefighter Activity,” for specialized training of fi rst responders to properly recognize and intervene in emergency cases involving persons with mental illness. Local fi re departments in Smith’s district have previ-
Menendez, Booker: Education Department Should Focus On School Safety, Not Scapegoats school discipline. That directive encouraged schools to examine disparities in discipline rates in an effort to prevent potentially discriminatory discipline policies. “As the work of the Federal Commission on School Safety begins, we write to urge you to focus on mean-
ingful reforms to improve gun safety and prevent gun violence, instead of focusing on distractions that will take us backwards,” the Senators wrote in a letter to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. “Examining and potentially revoking the 2014 Dear Colleague Letter on the Nondiscriminatory
Administration of School Discipline will not address issues of gun violence and instead will leave schools less informed and without guidance on how to uphold the civil rights of students of color and students with disabilities while administering school discipline.” “Rather than blame the
2014 [ D e a r C ol le a g ue letter], we should be addressing our lax system of background checks and minimum age for fi rearm purchase, both of which allow too many mass shooters to gain access to weapons of war,” the Senators added. Senators Tim Kaine (D-
ously benefitted from this SAFER program, including the Trenton fire department which was awarded SAFER grants in fi scal years 2010, 2012 and 2014 which helped avoid layoffs for about 60 firefighters and the closure of four companies. In September of 2017, Middletown Township Fire Department also received a $136,675 grant through the SAFER program to help with the hiring of additional trained fi refighters.

Contract Awarded For Improvements To Ocean County Southern Service Center
By Jennifer Peacock STAFFORD – The county’s senior nutrition program will get a larger and reconfigured space to better serve clients, the Ocean County Freeholders announced. Work to upgrade the Ocean County Southern Service Center was awarded to Ranco Construction, Southampton, for $950,500. The former gymnasium will be reconfigured to provide 2,000 square feet of additional space. The site will hold more than 200 seniors, while also house better storage facilities, expanded administrative space for client services, and more refrigeration. Ceilings will be lowered to accommodate a new sprinkler system while at the same time creating better acoustics for older adults. Low-
ered ceilings also create more storage space, used to shelve things used for weather emergencies and extended holidays. It will be powered by two generators during power outages. The county’s senior nutrition program provides more than 1,100 meals daily to the county’s elderly. “The changes coming to this facility will provide for a more efficient and convenient senior nutrition program, and when necessary will result in the county having an additional emergency response staging area to be used during storms or other weather events,” Freeholder Joseph Vicari, chairman of senior services, said. “This program serves as a lifeline for many of our elderly residents living alone. It helps them maintain their independence and the volunteers and drivers help provide a daily wellness check for many seniors that can no longer get around on their own,” Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said. “Nutrition support is a key ingredient to good health for older adults.” The Southern Senior Center serves seniors from Lacey down to Little Egg Harbor. And in addition to nutrition, they are offered socialization, recreation, education programs and health screeners. “These programs provide great benefits for our seniors, especially those who are frail and in need,” Vicari said. “It is less expensive to provide food for one-year for a senior then it is to cover the cost of a day in an emergency room.” The upgrades will centralize these operations. Service won’t be interrupted during the renovations, the freeholders said. “At the same time, this project will create a more efficient, centralized operation, with better opportunities for cost control and decreased waste, and create one production location to enhance communication for both staff and consumers,” Vicari said. During emergencies, the facility can be used. “The Southern Service Center became a focal point in the county’s efforts to assist residents in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy in October 2012,” Vicari said. “During the days after the storm, the National Guard was housed at the facility. It also became a one-stop center housing programs to help displaced residents along with representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Administration. “Seeing the benefits it provided at that time led us to conclude it would be invaluable should we be hit with another storm or natural disaster,” Vicari said.

Holocaust Remembrance Day At The Marlboro Jewish Center
By Fran Kirschner What was the experience of Roman Jews living in Nazi-occupied Rome? The public is invited to a free Yom Ha Shoah* program and screening of the award-winning documentary film “Oro Macht Frei” (“Gold Will Set You Free”), presented by Second Generation, Wednesday, April 11, 2018, at 7:00 p.m. at the Marlboro Jewish Center, Congregation Ohev Shalom, 103 School Road West, Marlboro, N.J. “Oro Macht Frei,” awarded the Best International Documentary at the 2015 Garden State Film Festival, tells the story of the Roman Jewish experience during the Nazi occupation of Rome (September 1943 - June 1944). Weaving testimony from Roman Jews who lived there together with historical research by renowned scholars, “Oro Macht Frei” seeks to bring the viewer into a personal and relatable reflection of the Holocaust in Italy through the eyes of this unique and historic community. Joel Markel, founder and president of Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing Services, Eatontown, and host of Preferred Company’s live radio show on WOBM–AM, Monday through Friday, 8 to 10 a.m., is the executive producer of “Oro Macht Frei” and founder of Ottimo Films. Markel said, “I created this 70-minute documentary not only to tell of the Holocaust in
Italy but as a way of eradicating hatred and bigotry throughout the world.” Markel, the son of a Hungarian Auschwitz survivor, wanted to honor the experience of his mother and the millions of victims of the Jewish genocide by contributing to the field of Holocaust memory. In 2004, during a tour of the Roman Ghetto, Markel first heard the story of Kappler’s Gold, an extortion plot perpetrated by Herbert Kappler, the head of the SS, who demanded 50 kilos of gold within 36 hours or 200 Jewish family heads would be deported. Markel immediately felt connected to this story because for generations his family had worked as jewelers. The organization Second Generation at Congregation Ohev Shalom strives to make sure the Holocaust is never forgotten and will never happen again. For more information about the Yom HaShoah program or Second Generation, call Marvin Glickstein, president of Second Generation, at 732-972-0259 or the synagogue office at 732-536-2300. For information about Markel or “Oro Macht Frei,” contact Lisa Gallicchio, director of community relations at Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing Services, at 732-547-9886 or lisa@preferredcares.com.

Author Visits Lakehurst Elementary School
–Photo courtesy Lakehurst Elementary School LAKEHURST – On March 14, 2018 the third graders at Lakehurst Elementary School were able to listen and learn from the author of “The Legend of Peaceful Island,” Mr. Frank Valentino. Valentino works with Mrs. Tumilty, a parent of one of our third graders, and she was able to bring this wonderful author to our school. Valentino read to the students, and then had a
writer’s workshop about the beach. Carla Valentino was responsible for the beautiful illustrations, and these illustrations gave the students a visual prompt. The students in Mrs. Lambusta and Ms. Layton’s class enjoyed this presentation and writing workshop very much. In the end, Valentino signed their final writing products. It was a great hour of learning and fun.

Policies:
Continued From Page 1 vaping policy is almost identical to that of the smoking policy, in that it forbids the use of the product on school grounds. He noted that the traditional smoking policy has been extrapolated to include vaping. What makes the two smoking policies different is that, students who get caught using or possessing a vape or a Juul (a popular brand of vape), they immediately get sent for drug testing. Wilhelm noted that the school district pays for the drug testing in this event. Students get drug tested for vape usage because vapes, unlike cigarettes, have the ability to house marijuana in a way that is virtually undetectable, without a noticeable scent. “With a Juul, we have no idea what is in the canister,” said Wilhelm. If a student gets tested and is cleared for any traces of banned substances, they are simply penalized for the possession of the product, not allowed on school grounds, said Wilhelm. If the student is tested and not cleared, then they receive four days
suspension and a day of detention. Wilhelm noted that despite the recent advancements of vape products to allow for the use of other drugs, vapes have been prevalent enough to warrant a policy on school grounds for about the last 3-4 years. The policy at Barnegat High School is similar to that of SRHS in that it aligns with the traditional no-smoking or use of tobacco products policy, according to Principal Stephen Nichol. Nichol said that the school jumped on the process of policing vape usage once they started becoming more popular and now it is more necessary with products like Juuls or dabs, where you can’t tell what is in them. “If a student is caught with one they get a four day suspension,” and sent out for mandatory drug testing at a local urgent care facility, he said. If the student tests positive for drugs they receive an additional 9 day suspension and are scheduled to meet with a substance abuse counselor. Nichol noted that sometimes students refuse the mandatory drug test, and this then becomes an automatic admission of guilt. At Jackson schools, the situation is also
quite similar. Allison Erwin, Coordinator of Communications and Technology for the Jackson School District said that the district sent out a letter to parents back in January detailing information about vapes and how they are used and what the consequences are for bringing them to school. The letter states: “The Jackson School District treats the possession of what is known as ‘vape pens’ or other electronic ‘vaping’’ or smoking devices the same way as cigarettes.” A student at any Jackson school caught using a vape is immediately sent for drug testing and receives a 10-day suspension if they tested positive for drugs. A student caught with one in their possession receives an automatic 2-day detention. The letter not only educates parents about the consequences of vape usage on campus, but it also urges parents to be aware of the side effects of the devices. “Some high school students are claiming that their parents know all about it or that the students don’t consider it smoking. What they do not realize is that the effects of vaping are not yet well known, and that a growing body of research points to the
dangers of this activity,” it stated, listing harmful chemical ingredients and addiction as a few. “Here in the Jackson School District, we are frustrated and disappointed by the growing use of these devices, especially considering the strides that have been made in the last decade to cut down on teen smoking,” stated the letter. Erwin noted that it is important to spread awareness of this issue because it is a matter of student safety as well. “Vapes have evolved. This year, we have noticed more of these vapes have THC oil in them,” said Michael Dillon, director of guidance and operations for the Freehold Regional High School District. The policy for being caught with some kind of vaporizer changes depending on what the chemicals are inside. If it is a tobacco product, the consequences for it are the same as if it was a cigarette, he said. However, if it contains THC oil, then it is treated as possession of a drug, which warrants a suspension and the police are notified. The student is subjected to a chemical (Policies - See Page 22)

Dizziness is the third most common complaint to doctors, exceeded only by headaches and lower back pain. The National Institute of Health and Johns Hopkins’s statistics indicate that dizziness is the number one complaint of patients over age 70. More importantly, dizziness and vertigo can affect people throughout a lifetime and this is clearly represented by the fact that dizziness is the third most commonly reported complaint to physicians. Dizzy patients often report that they have made several visits to physicians and were told that nothing could be done or that they would simply have to learn to live with their dizziness complaint. If you are experiencing a sensation of vertigo or spinning or unsteadiness when you are walking, I suggest you do the following: Schedule an appointment with an audiologist to have your hearing thor-
oughly evaluated since your hearing and balance mechanisms are closely related. Specialized testing should be perfor med to evaluate your inner ear mechanism. Tests may include ENG, electrocochleography and /or computer ized dy namic post u rog raphy evaluation. Specialized diagnostic testing can often pinpoint abnormalities in your vestibular system (inner ear), visual system and/or proprioceptive system (mu scu la r skelet al). Q u it e of t e n , vestibular rehabilitation or balance retraining therapy can either eliminate and/or significantly improve the complaint of dizziness and/or balance dysfunction. If you or if you know of someone who is suffering from dizziness and/ or balance dysfunction, I suggest that you make an appointment for a thorough diagnostic evaluation.
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!
Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Wife Won’t Stop Buying Me Clothes!
Dear Joel, I don’t mean to sound ungrateful but my wife buys me things she thinks I might need or want. Why does she do this? I’m a grown man. I would like to decide if I want something and then buy it myself. It would be different if I ask her to shop for something in particular but I really don’t like her buying me things she thinks I could use. How can I get her to stop? ANSWER: I get it. Many women think their husbands would wander around naked and unfed if left on their own and many men actually don’t mind taking the easy way out. On one hand, she is a thoughtful person, on the other hand
she’s denying you the right to pick out the things you want. She clearly likes to take care of people, so how about you contact a charitable organization or church to find an individual or a family in need and have her collect items for them. You could keep a treasure chest of goodies, and just keep the ones you like or need for yourself. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

The Connection Between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Thyroid By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
There are many reasons that you might be tired and suffering with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). To be clear, CFS is not the kind of fatigue that goes away after you’ve rested, this is a persistent type of weakness that is inexplicable, unrelenting and disabling. CFS has been pinned on Epstein-Barr (EBV) and human herpes virus 6 (HHV6), parasites, mycotoxins, mold, adrenal dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies and much more. But new research published in March 2018 in Frontiers of Endocrinology has uncovered a rather obvious link, one that has the potential to change your life dramatically, and in a good way! Chronic fatigue impacts about 2.5 million people in the United States who deal with it, but live in an awful state of exhaustion, brain fog, dizziness and muscle pain or weakness. Attempts to treat it with antibiotics, stimulants, sleeping pills and antidepressants have left millions of people adversely affected by the drugs and still feeling pretty dreadful, perhaps only marginally better, but certainly not cured. I’m confident, especially now, that thyroid medication holds the key to getting better if you have CFS. Scientists in the Netherlands and in Spain got together and inferred that CFS could be a result of low thyroid (T3) hormone levels, independent of the TSH. To test the theory they looked at 197 people, of which 98 had been diagnosed with CFS and 99 were not. After comparing thyroid function, and biomarkers of inflammation, the researchers
found that the people with CFS had dramatically lower levels of important thyroid hormones, including triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) but surprisingly they had normal TSH levels. This means that your TSH could appear normal on a lab test, but your T3 could be lower due to poor activation (which means that the T4 isn’t converting to T3 fast enough). This means that you would have all the symptoms of low thyroid (and it will not be detected if the doctor just looks at your TSH levels) and let me remind you, this is what most do, they just look at TSH levels and nothing more! There are many reasons for poor T3 activation, and I wrote a book on this topic called, Thyroid Healthy. It’s on Amazon. I also have an ebook I can share for free if you sign up for my newsletter at my website. The folks with CFS happened to produce higher amounts of reverse T3 (rT3) which sadly is like your hibernation hormone. It slows you down, it basically puts you to sleep. It’s not biologically active like T3. To read more about this go to my website and use the search box to find the article called, “Measure Reverse T3 and Get Thyroid Healthy.” This critical research means that people with CFS are likely suffering from an underlying thyroid problem and could benefit dramatically from simple affordable medications like Compounded T3, Cytomel or other forms of T3 medication. The T4 drugs like Levothyroxine will not be of benefit and might exacerbate the problem due to more rT3 formation.

Continued From Page 18 screen test. This costs the district about $150 each. If a parent chooses to use their own physician instead, they incur the cost. If there is a substance abuse issue, then the student is put in touch with a student assistance coordinator. “A lot of parents have no idea what’s in there,” he said. Vapes sometimes have
much more nicotine in them than regular cigarettes, or they could have THC. It’s often masked with a fruity scent. A letter went out in January letting parents know, and there have been other awareness activities. An education session on the dangers of vaping will be held at Colts Neck High School on April 25 at 6:30 p.m. There will be a presentation by a retired special agent from the Drug Enforcement
Administration and a time for parents to ask questions. “We try to educate parents. We need them to partner with us,” he said. At the Central Regional School District, every child is automatically sent for drug screening, Superintendent Triantafi llos Parlapanides said. “How can you tell if it’s just flavoring?” he asked. Therefore, they send every student for
drug tests, to err on the side of caution. Companies that manufacture the units advertise it as healthy, but you don’t really know what’s in it, he said. Manchester Super intendent David Trethaway said they are looking at the policy on vaping, which is included under smoking. “There are too many variables and you don’t know what’s in there,” he said. They are not yet doing drug testing on every student caught vaping, but that option is being considered. Toms River Superintendent David Healy said if there’s suspected drug use, they go to get tested. The district follows guidelines for the difference between users and dealers, he said. There’s a hard stance against dealers in the district. However, if there is a student who is using, then they work to intervene in the student’s life, to try to break the cycle of use. They are held to counseling, random drug tests, and have to agree to a contract between themselves, parents, and the counselor. This is an improvement from the old methods, when a kid would be suspended for a number of days for drug use, he said. During those days off from school, the child would just sit around and get high. Instead of acting as a deterrent, it was making their drug use and dependency worse. As a result of keeping a student in school, but supported with counseling and other measures, the district’s dropout rate declined.

Brockovich is one of the most requested speakers on the international lecture circuit and travels the world for personal appearances. She is a true American hero whose icon status and “stick-to-it-iveness” only fuels her determination to expose injustice

The townships need to support those respective acquisitions prior to the county closing on the properties. The county plans to purchase 71.31 acres in Jackson. The property has frontage along Wilson Avenue in the township. It’s adjacent to the 1,172-acre Roanoke and Makor tract the county acquired in 2012 and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Forest Resource Education Center 495 Don Connor Blvd. The property would expand upon a 3,000acre greenway corridor that includes county natural lands and parks and NJDEP holdings in the township. The state Forest Fire Service has chimed in to add that the land will provide “critical access” for wildfire protection. The county will purchase the land for $260,000. The county can seek a cost share for up to 50 percent from the U.S. Department of Defense “as it fits into the county’s agreement with the DOD to reduce encroachment around Joint Base – McGuire, Dix, Lakehurst,” county officials said. In addition, the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee recommended the acquisition of a 137-acre
property in Plumsted Township. The property consists of four large tracts on the north and south side of Route 528. The property borders six preserved farms and is close to other trust properties and Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area in Jackson. It will cost $400,000 through the trust fund. “These tracts include the former Superfund sites known as the Spence Farm and Pijak Farm. Both properties were delisted in 1997 by the Environmental Protection Agency and are cleared for regular development,” county spokeswoman Donna Flynn said. “Plumsted Township fully supports the acquisition of these tracts for open space. The county will do an environmental assessment on the property to confirm the property is clear of any environmental liability.” There are about 2,200 acres the county has acquired in Plumsted, much of it as preserved farmland. The Spence and Pijak acquisitions will be deed restricted. The Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee suggested these areas for acquisition. The committee receives nominations and after vetting them, forwards those to the Freeholders. The fund was approved by Ocean County voters to fund acquisitions to preserve natural lands, open spaces and farmland. Ocean County has 408,000 acres of land and almost 60 percent has been permanently preserved from development through local, county, state and federal preservation programs.

NJNG To Pass Benefits Of Tax Reform To Customers
WALL — New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG), a regulated subsidiary of New Jersey Resources (NYSE: NJR), today submitted a filing to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to pass through the benefits of the recently enacted federal tax reform to customers. NJNG announced it will reduce customers’ rates by $21 million, effective April 1, 2018, resulting in a $31, or 3 percent, decrease to a typical residential heating customer’s annual bill. NJNG also announced it will provide a one-time refund to customers totaling approximately $31 million. The estimated refund for a typical residential heat customer is $47. The actual refund amounts will be determined in May and reflect individual customer usage. Pending BPU approval, customers can expect to see these savings in their May or June bills. For the rate decrease, a typical residential heating customer using 1,000 therms a year will see their annual bill go from $1,054 to $1,023, a savings of $31. When combined with the one-time refund, the customer will see an overall reduction of $78 or 7.4 percent this year. This adjustment will help

ensure rates reflect the lower tax structure and any appropriate savings are passed on to customers. “Our top priority is to ensure we deliver safe, reliable and affordable service to our customers, said Laurence M. Downes, chairman and CEO of New Jersey Resources. “We are pleased to pass along the benefits of tax reform to our customers through lower energy bills.” On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was signed into law and went into effect January 1, 2018. The Act sets forth changes to the Federal Internal Revenue Tax Code and reduces the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. These changes could result in an over-collection of tax revenue by public utilities. To ensure ratepayers receive the appropriate benefit of the lower tax rate, the BPU issued a January 31, 2018 Order directing New Jersey’s public utilities to submit a filing responsive to the effects of the Act.

NEW JERSEY – Anyone considering donating to a charity should research that charity before donating, the Federal Trade Commission said. These days, charities and fundraisers (groups that solicit funds on behalf of organizations) use the phone, face-to-face contact, email, the internet (including social networking sites), and mobile devices to solicit and obtain donations. Naturally, scammers use these same methods to take advantage of persons’ goodwill. Regardless of how they reach someone, avoid any charity or fundraiser that refuses to provide detailed information about its identity, mission, costs, and how the donation will be used; won’t provide proof that a contribution is tax deductible; uses a name that closely resembles that of a better-known, reputable organization; gives thanks for pledges that weren’t made; uses high-pressure tactics like trying a person to donate immediately, without giving that person time to think about it and do their research; asks for donations in cash or asks persons to wire money; offers to send a courier or
Advice Before Giving To A Charity overnight delivery service to collect the donation immediately; guarantees sweepstakes winnings in exchange for a contribution. By law, a person never has to give a donation to be eligible to win a sweepstakes. Donators should ask for detailed information about the charity, including name, address, and telephone number. They should get the exact name of the organization and do some research. Searching the name of the organization online — especially with the word “complaint(s)” or “scam”— is one way to learn about its reputation. Call the charity. Find out if the organization is aware of the solicitation and has authorized the use of its name. The organization’s development staff should be able to help. Find out if the charity or fundraiser must be registered in the state by contacting the National Association of State Charity Officials. Check if the charity is trustworthy by contacting the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) Wise Giving Alliance, Charity Navigator, Charity Watch, or GuideStar. And ask if the caller is a paid fundraiser. If so, ask the name of the charity they represent, the
percentage of the donation that will go to the charity, how much will go to the actual cause to which you’re donating, and how much will go to the fundraiser. Donators should keep records of donations and make an annual donation plan to stick with. Visit this Internal Revenue Service (IRS) webpage to find out which organizations are eligible to receive tax deductible contributions. Know the difference between “tax exempt” and “tax deductible.” Tax exempt means the organization doesn’t have to pay taxes. Tax deductible means donators can deduct their contribution on their federal income tax return. Never send cash donations. For security and tax purposes, it’s best to pay by check — made payable to the charity — or by credit card. Never wire money to someone claiming to be a charity. Scammers often request donations to be wired because wiring money is like sending cash: once sent, it can’t be gotten back. Do not provide a credit or check card
REGAIN YOUR MOBILITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE! WE WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME
number, bank account number or any personal information until the donator has thoroughly researched the charity. Be wary of charities that spring up too suddenly in response to current events and natural disasters. Even if they are legitimate, they probably don’t have the infrastructure to get the donations to the affected area or people. If a donation request comes from a group claiming to help the community (for example, local police or firefighters), ask the local agency if they have heard of the group and are getting financial support. What about texting? The charge will show up on the mobile phone bill. If the donator has asked his mobile phone provider to block premium text messages — texts that cost extra — then he won’t be able to donate this way. The National Do Not Call Registry gives persons a way to reduce telemarketing calls, but it exempts charities and political groups. However, if a fundraiser is calling on behalf of a charity, persons may ask not to get any more calls from, or on behalf of, that specific charity. If those calls continue, the fundraiser may be subject to a fine. Anyone who thinks they’ve been the victim of a charity scam or if a fundraiser has violated Do Not Call rules, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. These complaints can help detect patterns of wrong-doing and lead to investigations and prosecutions. Complaints can be filed at ftccomplaintassistant.gov.

New Jersey Secretary Of State & Election Officials Attend Training Exercise For Cyber-Attack Prevention
TRENTON – On Friday, March 23, Secretary of State Tahesha Way led a delegation from New Jersey to a dress rehearsal of a table-top training exercise for prevention of cyber-attacks and information operations at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University’s
Kennedy School. As part of the school’s bipartisan initiative, the “Defending Digital Democracy” (D3P) Project, this nation-wide D3P Election Cybersecurity TTX Training Event trains officials on cybersecurity measures for participants to bring back to their prospective
states for implementation. “As the state’s chief election official, the opportunity to receive this vital training with a team of committed election officials further displays New Jersey’s active participation and strong commitment to election security,” said New Jersey Secretary of
State Tahesha Way. “We will continue to work vigilantly with all election officials to strengthen the security of elections here in New Jersey.” The Secretary of State was joined by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, County Election Officials, representatives from the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, and the Division of Election’s Executive Director. “This hands-on training session has been an extremely valuable learning experience for me and the New Jersey team,” added Division of Elections Executive Director Robert Giles. “As we begin to implement these exercises with our election officials throughout the state, this collaboration is another excellent example of the partnership between the Department of State’s Division of Elections and our qualified election county officials, continuing our commitment to protect New Jersey against cybersecurity attacks.”

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of march 31 - april 6 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Watch your step. Keep your temper under control in the early part of the week when you could clash with someone over money. Some romantic moments, however, may be especially sweet. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may think you have all the answers but someone else might have done more homework. A confrontation or dispute may take you down a few pegs in the week ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’re only as young as you feel. You could drown in imaginative ideas or spend too much time in daydreams. Clear communication is the key to happiness in the week to come. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be sympathetic toward those who are burdened with unpleasant routines in the week ahead. Some things are cheaper by the dozen or in bulk; focus on an efficient use of resources. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Read the fine print. Your financial future might depend upon minute details that are indicated by an asterisk at the bottom of the page. Make sure you calculate risks accurately this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The lottery is a tax on those who are bad at math. Don’t take chances on risky financial projects in the week ahead or waste your money on something with poor odds.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Be focused and resolute about the way you handle assets. You might have an opportunity to utilize cash assets for a good purpose. Be sure your purposes are pure in the week ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Loosen up your grasp. Overprotective or possessive attitudes won’t sit well with loved ones or business contacts. Steer clear of schemes and new investments as the week unfolds. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your mind may wander when doing routine jobs or repetitive chores. Abandon creative pursuits this week in favor of punching in the numbers and balancing the books. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. There might not be anything new to explore but that won’t stop you from being passionate. Focus on shared experiences this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stand on your own two feet. You may struggle to handle competitive people early in the week. Don’t let someone convince you to do something against your better judgment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Fake it until you make it. Your confidence might be at a low point, but you can put on a good front. Avoid making crucial decisions without solid facts and figures in the week to come.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Fresh Take: Celebrate The Arrival Of Spring With A New Look At Asparagus By Wolfgang Puck
Spring is officially here. For many of us, it has seemed like a long time coming. Even in my hometown of Los Angeles, the past month has brought us long stretches of windy days and nighttime temperatures that have dropped to just a few degrees above freezing. So, when springtime arrives and the weather starts warming up even a little, it really does feel miraculous - especially when new seasonal vegetables begin appearing in farmers’ markets, from locally grown asparagus to peas to the first fresh fava beans to tender, young leafy greens. In celebration of these arrivals, I’d like to share one of my favorite new recipes featuring asparagus: a fresh-tasting, Japanese-inspired salad that my catering team and I recently served at the Governors Ball celebration following the Academy Awards ceremony just a couple of weeks ago. I find that bright, slightly sharp Asian seasonings like those featured in the dressing for this appetizer salad are perfect complements to the particularly fresh flavor of springtime asparagus, which can taste so much sweeter, milder and greener than the earthier flavor of the spears you find on sale year-round in many markets. Almost all of the ingredients are fairly easy to find. Bottles of sharp, clean-flavored, unseasoned rice vinegar are usually shelved in the vinegar section of most well-stocked markets. You’ll find rich-tasting, salty (yet mild and sweet) white miso paste, made from fermented soybeans combined with rice, in many supermarkets in both refrigerated and unrefrigerated forms; once opened, store it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for many months. Slices of sweet, spicy and tangy pickled ginger, the sort served alongside sushi, is sold in jars in many markets; and you can often buy small containers of it found alongside prepared packages of sushi in supermarket “grab-and-go” sections. The only ingredient you may find a little harder to locate is the sansho pepper, a packaged Japanese seasoning made from the berries of a shrub called prickly ash, which have a citrusy flavor. If you don’t have an Asian market nearby, buy it online; or just substitute a little ground Szechuan or black pepper. With all the ingredients on hand, you’ll find the recipe very easy to prepare. Take care to trim the asparagus, trimming off the tough ends and peeling any thick skin so you can enjoy as much of each spear as possible. And be sure not to overcook the asparagus, immersing it in salted boiling water for just 10 seconds or so and then, after draining, immediately plunging the spears into ice water to stop the cooking at the tender-crisp
stage and keep the color a bright green that’s a perfect expression of the newly arrived season. ASIAN ASPARAGUS SALAD Serves 4 1 bunch jumbo asparagus, about 1 pound (500 g) 1/4 cup (60 mL) unseasoned rice vinegar 2 tablespoons white miso 2 tablespoons Japanese-style pickled sushi ginger 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce 3/4 cup (185 mL) canola oil 1 cup (250 mL) cherry tomatoes, cut in halves 1/2 bunch watercress, separated into small sprigs, thick stems discarded 2 teaspoons olive oil Kosher salt 6 red radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced Ground sansho pepper (available at Japanese markets), Szechuan pepper or freshly ground black pepper 1 package edible pesticide-free organic f lowers (available at well-stocked supermarkets) Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and fill a bowl with ice cubes and water. Meanwhile, use a sharp knife to trim the cut ends of the asparagus; then, with a vegetable peeler, peel the tough skin from the bottom quarter to third of each stalk. Cut the stalks crosswise in half. Add the asparagus to the boiling water, and cook for 10 seconds. Drain and immediately immerse the asparagus in the ice water. When the asparagus is cold, drain well and set aside. To make the dressing, put the rice vinegar, white miso, pickled ginger, sugar and soy sauce in a blender. Blend at medium speed. With the machine running, slowly pour in the oil in a steady stream until a smooth, thick but slightly fluid dressing forms. Transfer the dressing to a nonreactive container and set aside. To assemble the salad, toss the cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of the dressing, adding more as needed to coat them; set aside. Toss the watercress with the olive oil, season lightly with salt, and set aside. Arrange the asparagus pieces on a chilled platter or individual chilled serving plates and drizzle with some of the remaining dressing. Mound the cherry tomatoes on top. Arrange watercress sprigs and radish slices on top of and around the tomatoes and asparagus. Lightly sprinkle with sansho pepper and garnish, if you like, with edible flower petals. Serve immediately.
