How To Help An Overdose Victim
By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Corey Ressler was 22 when he died of an opioid overdose. In the summer of 2010, friends called 911 from Corey’s cell phone, but the call dropped. Someone called 911 from a different location about 30 minutes later, but it was too late. Corey’s father, Paul, wanted people to be able to call for help without fear of prosecution. He wanted those overdosing to have a chance to live and get help. Paul Ressler created The Overdose Prevention Agency Corporation in Hamilton. His group, with others, worked
tirelessly to get the Overdose Protection Act passed. The law, passed in 2013, protects callers reporting an overdose from arrest and prosecution. TOPAC’s focus now is naloxone training, which is often the first step in saving the life of someone who has overdosed on an opioid. Heidi Modjeski, TOPAC’s director of community outreach and training development, spoke on the signs of an opioid overdose and how to properly administer naloxone - the generic name for Narcan - at a recent training session at Ocean County College.

A Freeholder By Any Other Name…
By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – Does an antiquated name keep people from participating in the political process? Some Trenton politicians believe so and want a change that they say aligns with 21st Century sensibilities. Republican Senator and Whip Joe Pennacchio (R-26) sponsored bill S402 that will change “freeholder” to “county commissioner,” and “board of chosen freeholders” to “board of county commissioners.” While the original language allowed counties to decide whether to change their names, a senate substitute - if passed - would require the name change. It’s a change that not only distracts from what really ails the state, but buckles to PC warriors who want to deny and dismantle history, Ocean County officials said. “This is the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders. It has been since 1850,” Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr. said. “…It pains me to think the state senate has before it a bill which would (Freeholder - See Page 2)

Freeholder:
Continued From Page 1 change the name of all board of chosen freeholders in New Jersey to ‘board of commissioners.’ I don’t know of a nice way to say this, and I’m not going to try: I can’t think of a more stupid idea.” What is a freeholder? In modern parlance, a freeholder is an elected member to the board of chosen freeholders, the body that runs each of New Jersey’s 21 counties. The body can have between three and nine freeholders. The term is unique to New Jersey county government, and comes from the state’s 1776 constitution: “That all inhabitants of this Colony, of full age, who are worth fifty pounds proclamation money, clear estate in the same, and have resided within the county in which they claim a vote for twelve months immediately preceding the election, shall be entitled to vote for Representatives in Council and Assembly; and also for all other public officers, that shall be elected by the people of the county at large.” The term describes a property-owning male free of debt, and not many people in New Jersey know what a freeholder is, Pennacchio said in a March 26 press release. “Commissioner” is more recognizable and inoffensive term. Currently, Virginia Haines is the only female freeholder serving on the county’s five-member board. In Monmouth County, Deputy Director Lillian G. Burry is the only female on its five-member board. Burlington County also has five members, two of whom are women and one, Kate Gibbs, is director. In Atlantic County, its
nine-member board has four women. “At least if you’re going to come up with a new “New Jersey stands alone while other states have name, come up with something that makes some changed the position of freeholder to a commis- sense,” Bartlett said. sioner, modernizes the position,” said Pennacchio. New Jersey, being one of the 13 original colonies, “When you have a title, which refers to men ‘free should be proud of its colonial heritage, Bartlett and clear,’ you ultimately discourage individuals said.

Should the bill become law, all county letterheads, stationary, “all other writings,” and websites would have to show the name change on Jan. 1, 2019. Signs that would require “the expenditure of county funds” to change can be updated “upon the next update or replacement made in the ordinary course of business.” “New Jersey has a lot of problems. We have a pension system that they say is bankrupt. Our state has had 11 or 12 bond rating declines. Education funding is a mess…Our higher education, they’re underfunding that, they don’t fund vocational schools. Our roads and bridges around the state are falling apart, except here in our county system and other county systems,” Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said. “The state is wasting time on doing something which is totally superfluous, will not address the real issues. It refocuses attention from the real issues on something that’s irrelevant.” Haines agreed with her fellow freeholders’ assessments in an April 23 email to Jersey Shore Online. “I am against changing the title of freeholder to commissioner. I feel Senator Pennacchio is changing history, the state has many other issues of more importance to handle, than changing the name of county officials,” Haines said. “…When I travel to other states and tell them I am a freeholder I explain it is the term which was given to individuals who run the government on a county level. I have never had anyone say anything negative about the term freeholder. Once I explain the term they just simply say ‘Oh, ok.’ We were the third state to become a state and New Jersey chose to keep the term which has been our history.”

Overdose:
Continued From Page 1 “Our goal is to train individuals how to use (naloxone), so we can help the people so they can get the help they need to get into recovery,” Modjeski said. It’s important to first understand how opioids attack the body. The opioids bind to opioid receptors in cells throughout the body, especially those that affect sleeping and breathing. Basically, the opioid tells the brain “You don’t have to breathe.” Those who have overdosed are nonresponsive to shouts or aggressive touch. Their lips and fingertips are blue, their breathing labored like a death rattle, their pupils a pinpoint. The heartbeat is faint. The most important thing to do for someone is call 911. The caller must stress that the person isn’t breathing, that it’s a possible overdose. While many users ingest a cocktail of drugs, naloxone will only reverse the overdose of opioids, which emergency workers say is positive. The naloxone tells the body it’s not high anymore, but only for about 30 minutes. (And if it ends up they aren’t overdosing on an opioid, the naloxone will do no harm. It’s safe to use on pregnant women, too.) “The person who is going to wake up from this, they could be extremely angry, there could be violence, they could be very groggy. They might not know where they are at,” Modjeski said. “And then the worst thing is, they might immediately want to get high again. They’ve likely not felt so sober in a long time.” A person can relapse into an overdose once the naloxone wears off. It is okay to administer another dose, Modjeski said. They cannot overdose on naloxone. It’s important to keep the person breathing while waiting for emergency teams to arrive. There are several ways to deliver naloxone, but the most popular are nasal sprays, which are now available over the counter at popular drug store chains, or auto injector, which does require a prescription. And while it may seem like common sense to store the drug in a glove compartment of a vehicle, naloxone does go bad and must be stored at room temperature, around 70 degrees. So what should someone do if a friend or loved one appears to have overdosed on an opioid? You should first try to rouse them, first by shouting their name, then rubbing your knuckles on their breastbone or nose tip. If the person remains unresponsive, call 911. Roll the person on their side and clear their mouth. Roll them on their back, arch their neck, pinch their nose, and give two big breaths of air into their mouth. Administer the Narcan, and give one big breath every five to seven seconds if necessary. Most naloxone nasal sprays available are administered in one nostril. Auto injectors are administered in the upper thigh. And Modjeski’s biggest piece of advice to those helping the overdose victim: don’t touch any bags laying around. A little boy in South Jersey died recently when he touched a bag containing fentanyl, which can be absorbed through the skin and is lethal in small doses. The boy overdosed and died immediately. Even healthcare workers double up on gloves when handling fentanyl. Wait for the authorities to arrive and handle any bags or paraphernalia, Modjeski warned.

Jackson Liberty High School Hosts A Day Of Jazz By Bob Vosseller JACKSON - A whole lot of jazz was heard throughout the day and into the early evening at Jackson Liberty High School. The high school played host to jazz bands in Ocean, Monmouth and Mercer counties all day and among those bands was the award-winning Liberty Jazz Ensemble. The day kicked off with the Jackson Middle Schools McAuliffe and Goetz competing while the afternoon was fi lled with bands from Ocean County and beyond. Scott Katona, the director of the Liberty Lion Band, said that the annual event held each April involves bands that are allotted 20 minutes to perform. Within that time adjudicators (judges) score them on improvisation, dynamics, balance and much more. “Usually bands play three songs, all different styles. Usually a swing tune, a ballad and a Latin chart,” Katona said. “Our festival is unique as it’s not only a competition but also educational. In addition to the adjudicators scoring the bands and making comments for them to listen to later, we hire two clinicians who listen to each bands performance, then take them in a separate room afterwards and work with the group,” Katona added. Awards for the evening included best overall section awards, (trumpet, trombone, sax and rhythm), Best Overall Soloist Awards and Best Overall Band (1st Place). The Jackson Liberty Jazz Band is still basking in its celebration of winning the title of Cavalcade of Bands National Champions. After winning that state title, the band was the only one in New Jersey to move forward and win the Cavalcade of Bands National Championships in Souderton Pa. “The Jazz Band had to compete against eight other award-winning top notch bands. In the end, Jackson Liberty had the highest score and was crowned Best Overall Band,” Katona said. He added that the band “also won awards during that competition for Best Trumpet Section, Best Trombone Section, and Best soloist awards for Brandon Moy on guitar and George Willis on tenor sax.” Jackson Liberty High School seniors George Willis and Brandan Moy were among the jazz ensemble members enjoying the April 21 festival. As the host of the contest, their band could not compete but that was fi ne with the two seniors. Both students have been part of the band for four years and prior to that started their time performing at the middle-school level. “This year, in particular, we have seen a lot of dedication. Everyone has given 110% and it has really paid off,” Willis said. “It is great to meet everyone here that are part of the contest. We exchange contacts and information,” Moy said. Clinicians at the event included band leader Wilbur Wittman, well known for his musical performances throughout the
state and Ocean County in particular. Gary Fienberg, a trumpet player, professor at the College of New Jersey and a jazz band director and teacher of jazz history also served as one of the four clinicians. “We take turns doing a 25-minute clinic after they perform,” Fienberg said. “It is a busy day and lasts five hours tops but they learn a lot.” “This is one of the greatest festivals on the east coast,” Wittman said. “They are really dedicated and they ask us a lot of questions. We get a lot of soloists here. They are always trying to work hard and improve on their soloing.” Wittman’s long day wasn’t over after his time in Jackson. He had another festival to attend in Princeton afterward. The event proved full circle for Kylie Weaver, who teaches music at the McAuliffe Middle School where she was once a student and was taught by Jason Diaz who was also part of the day’s program. “It is a surreal feeling to be part of this,”
Weaver said adding that she was pleased that her own students had done so well in mastering the complex language of jazz music performance. She credited Diaz and Katona who were her instructors and their hard work as band directors. Diaz said he has been teaching music in the district for 13 years and this was his third year as a band director at Jackson Memorial High School. He noted more interest by band members in jazz. “Jazz is getting stronger in the last seven years. It’s a very different language and students fi nd it to be more challenging.” The instructor compared jazz to other types of music composition saying it was “like the difference between a northern and southern accent.” Jackson Memorial High School senior Tom Perucki, a member of his school’s jazz band also started playing when he was in 7th grade. The guitar player said that the competition of the event was not the most important part of it.
“The real value is the clinicians and the hands-on experience they provide. They know the language of jazz. I’m learning jazz with their help,” Perucki said. Katona added that he started the festival years ago for the educational experience. “I don’t announce individual scores nor give band ratings because everyone performing is doing the best they can and I want them to feel appreciated,” he said. “There are best overall awards to congratulate those who exhibited the best performance that day but every band goes home feeling like they are winners,” Katona added. Wi n ne r s of t he d ay fe at u re d t he category of Best Overall Jazz Bands that went to Red Bank Regional and Jackson Memorial. Espirit De Corps Awards went to Toms River South and Hamilton West while individual Soloist awards included members from Toms River South, Red Bank Regional and Jackson Memorial.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Celebrate National Volunteer Month All Year Long As National Volunteer Month comes to a close, it is important that we continue to celebrate the work of local volunteers and promote the importance of volunteer service in our communities throughout the year. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth & Middlesex Counties is a volunteer-driven organization with over 700 mentors dedicating themselves as role models to children in our program. Our volunteer mentors, also known as “Bigs,” encourage children to thrive and succeed in their everyday lives by providing individualized attention and guidance that every child needs. BBBSMMC would not be where it is today without our volunteers and I thank them for their commitment. BBBSMMC provides 1-to-1 mentoring for youth ages 6-18, also known as “Littles” in the program, through our Community, School, and Beyond School Walls Programs. By placing children in a quality mentoring relationship, we provide them with the tools they need to be competent, confident, and caring members of their community. Each time we pair a child with a Big Brother or Big Sister, a new relationship is formed that will be built on trust and a new friendship will blossom into a future
of unlimited potential. Currently, we have over 60 children who are waiting to be matched with their own Big Brother or Big Sister. In as little as 4-6 hours per month, you can mentor a child and empower them to become a strong young adult capable of reaching their life’s goals. Our Littles often continue on to become leaders in their own right, elevating other individuals around them. While the BBBS mentorship program does not last forever, the relationship you foster with your Little can last a lifetime. Giving these children good role models teaches them to explore beyond their comfort zone while knowing that there will always be someone there to support them. National Volunteer Month does not have to be limited to April alone. You can live the ideals and values that this month carries by becoming a Big for BBBSMMC. Being a mentor is an enriching experience that touches many lives beyond your own. Give your time and apply to be a Big by at bbbsmmc.org/apply-now. The life you change just might be your own. William Salcedo Executive Director, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth & Middlesex Counties

Letters To The Editor Wage Gap Must Be Closed Something needs to be done about i ncome i nequality. It is not right that CEOs walk away with incomes 300 times higher than the average worker. Yes, some CEOs work hard. Three hundred times harder than the average employee though? That’s doubtf ul. T he g rowi ng wage gap is dist urbing and truly a human rights violation. I urge Tom MacArthur to introduce legislation to combat income inequality. Women and men should be paid equal wages. Minor it ie s shou ld not be further marginalized and disadvantaged. The United States is the wealthiest nation on earth, yet the top 1 percent has received the vast majority of wages increased due to productivity. Tech nolog y is not to blame. Humans are.

The Art Of The Deal In North Korea When Donald Trump took office, he mentioned from the beginning that it would be great if the potential nuclear threat from North Korea can be “dealt with.” Most everyone including all political types, historians, news junkies, and me felt it was a 1,000 to one longshot that President Trump can be successful. It has been historically impossible to make a deal that sticks with North Ko-
Letters rea. It was thoughtTo they The throughout Editor my lifetime. my medical bills continue talk and delay and talk and delay, etc. President Trump, our new posit ive th i n k i ng, deal making, optimist has been making friends with worldwide powers, looking at leverage among all the countries, and looking for a chance to approach North Korea and open a line of communication. In the meantime, he kept increasing the sanctions on North Korea in many areas. A deal to have North Korea stop trying to be a nuclear power will be hard to make, and will have to include a lot of specifics about “inspection” to document North Korea’s activities. It does seem that President Trump’s hard work is paying off a little bit, and North Korea and President Trump will soon chat about “denuclearization,” whatever that means. I think the odds of making a deal have been lowered from 1000 to one to 15 to one. Let us stand behind President Trump and hope he can keep lowering the odds, with the sanctions doing their job, and many countries helping by exerting international pressure for the fi rst time.

Save Pre-existing Conditions In Health Care As with most people, I have serious concerns about my Congressman Tom MacArthur as it relates to health care. Especially because as the author of the “MacArthur Amendment” he worked to weaken provisions in the Affordable Care Act for people with pre-existing conditions. That’s because of Marfan Syndrome, a pre-existing condition I have had since birth that has required constant care
I am only alive today because of the exceptional care I’ve been given to address a myriad of related problems as a result of this condition, most notably, due to the effect on my heart. Recently, I attended a vigil at my Congressman’s office. That’s because it was Tax Day - and we are being asked to pay the price for the huge permanent tax breaks that Congress enacted to aid corporations and wealthy campaign donors while they shor tchange our future. Representative MacArthur was the only New Jersey Congressman to support the tax legislation. It will increase the budget deficit, which results in cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and other important priorities. Congress is already proposing cuts to food assistance, Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. In 2010, I had my first life-saving open heart surgery that, at 46, left me unable to work and began a 10-year odyssey of trying to regain my health and some semblance of the life I had prior. Not seven months later, the prosthetic valve replacement thrombosed and yet again, because of an accurate and quick diagnosis at Jersey Shore followed by emergency open heart surgery at N Y Presby ter ian by some of the best physicians and surgeons in the field, I survived. While I was fortunate to be taken care of under my husband’s insurance he has through work, I was unable to return to work on my own and filed for disability. One of the greatest benefits of this was receiving Medicare coverage which has been a godsend over the last seven - eight years as
to mount with additional related (and non-related) surgeries and treatments. Since my second open heart surgery, I have been hospitalized nine different times, including two eye surgeries, a hysterectomy, breast cancer, wound care, and on dialysis for acute kidney failure. This does not include any of the supportive or follow-up care I’ve required as a result - visiting nurses, physical therapy - or medications which we pay out of pocket. Medicare has provided the gap that has helped us make it through by picking up where my husband’s coverage ends. It has literally saved us thousands of dollars in co-pays and extending benefits when we have exhausted what we are entitled to through his plan. This has been especially important as the premium he pays for coverage rises exponentially every year, our share being close to $600 a month out of pocket, getting us to a point where we really wonder if it can be considered “employee sponsored health insurance” anymore. It’s too expensive to be sick or infi rm in America, yet we have the greatest access to healthcare technology and innovation the world has ever k now n. I’m alive today because of it and Medicare over the last seven years has made it possible for me to have access to it. Instead of making cuts to programs we depend on, we should make sure the rich and corporations pay their fair share of taxes so we can look out for one each other when disaster strikes, because it can strike any of us, at any time.

Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker
Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
PATERSON, N.J. - U.S. Senators Bob Menendez, a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee that sets national health policy, joined Sen. Cory Booker and Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. at St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Paterson to discuss bipartisan, bicameral legislation the lawmakers introduced to help boost hospitals’ resources in the fight against opioid addiction.
“The ALTO program here at St. Joe’s is at the forefront of innovative thinking and new approaches to treating pain to fighting opioid addiction,” said Sen. Menendez. “This creative thinking and willingness to approach health care delivery in new ways is critical to moving our health care system forward, tackling the scourge of addiction, and saving lives. We want to see every hospital and provider
STOP Offshore Oil And Gas Act Effectively Halts Drilling
miles from our coastline. “By prohibiting ‘any pipeline or other infrastructure that transports oil or natural gas from production facilities located in federal waters or other coastal state waters in the Atlantic Ocean through New Jersey State waters, and any land-based support facilities…’ the STOP Offshore Oil and Gas Act makes drilling now or into the future nearly impossible.
“Why is all of this important? Opening the waters off the coast of New Jersey to oil and gas exploration, development and production poses catastrophic risks to our 127-mile shoreline, tourism, marine habitat, plant life and fishing. “Seldom has any issue united the people of New Jersey, the congressional delegation, the State Legislature and local public officials as our opposition
to offshore oil and gas drilling. “The biggest takeaways from a meeting a group of us had with Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke on February 27th was that the dearth of oil or gas reserves off our coast and the lack of existing shoreline infrastructure including pipelines meant we weren’t likely to be on the final list. But ‘likely’ doesn’t mean we’re in the clear. Significantly, as of today, any shoreline
infrastructure designed to enable oil or gas development is comprehensively prohibited by state law. “Let’s not forget that the last three presidents - Bush, Obama and now Trump - have all initially proposed offshore drilling off our coast. “The legislation the governor just signed is our best insurance policy to ensure that doesn’t happen now - or ever.”
Bill Makes It Easier To Reduce Damage Caused By Wildlife multiple species responsible for crop damage on their property. “Farmers face a never-ending battle with wildlife that can strip plantings and profitability from their land,” said Space (R-Sussex). “Multi-species permits allow farmers to defend their crops from a variety
of destructive wildlife. Deer, geese, turkey, starlings and other birds, bear and beavers are all attracted to the open space and the healthy plants growing on New Jersey farms.” The state’s farmers suffer almost $300 million in crop loss every year. “This bill is a responsible
solution for farmers who must defend their land and their livelihood from ravenous birds and animals,” said Dancer (R-Ocean). “The damage and destruction jeopardizes the livelihood of farmers who are vital to our state. A flock of geese can swoop down and devour acres of
tender seedlings, and hundreds or thousands of starlings can strip a newly seeded field. The impact can be devastating to the family farms that are the heart and soul of agriculture in our state.” Depredation permits are issued by the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife.
Tackling Opioid Addiction Starts With How You Treat Pain across New Jersey and across this nation follow St. Joe’s lead, and our bill provides the necessary federal resources to help make it possible.” The Alternatives to Opioids (ALTO) in the Emergency Department Act would establish a national demonstration program, based on the successful program implemented at St. Joseph’s Medical Center in 2016, to test alternative pain management protocols to limit the use of opioids in hospital emergency departments nationwide. Language from the bill is included in a legislative package scheduled for committee markup in the Senate. Sens. Menendez and Booker and Rep. Pascrell were joined by health professionals, advocates, and individuals impacted by the opioid epidemic at a news conference outside the emergency department. The lawmakers convened a statewide summit in 2016 at St. Joe’s - which had just launched its ALTO program - to
explore solutions to the heroin and opioid addiction epidemic gripping New Jersey and the nation. In just two years since implementing ALTO, St. Joe’s has successfully reduced opioid prescriptions in their emergency room by 82%. Recently, Sen. Menendez toured a recovery center in Elizabeth, where he met with experts and individuals in recovery, and announced a budget agreement he supported that provided an additional $6 billion to fund the national fight against the opioid crisis. The senator is also an original cosponsor of the Combating the Opioid Epidemic Act, which would authorize $45 billion over ten years for opioid abuse treatment, prevention, detection, and surveillance programs. Sen. Menendez cosponsored the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA), signed into law in 2016, which provides resources to states to expand disposal sites for unwanted prescription drugs and to develop better monitoring systems for
prescription drug use, makes naloxone more widely available to law enforcement agencies and other first responders to help prevent overdoses and save lives, creates an evidence-based opioid and heroin treatment and intervention program, and sets national treatment standards. The senator has successfully pushed back Republican efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and the Medicaid expansion, which gives thousands of New Jerseyans access to vital mental health and substance abuse services. Sen. Menendez visited a community health center in Newark, where he met recovering addicts who credited Medicaid with saving their lives. Last May, Sen. Menendez helped lead a group of 28 senators in calling for increased federal funding to help combat the opioid and illicit drug abuse epidemic. Sen. Menendez pressed U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell during a Senate Finance Com-
mittee hearing in February 2016 to expand access to medication assisted treatment options, which led HHS a month later to move to double the current patient limit for qualified physicians who prescribe buprenorphine to treat opioid use disorders. Sens. Menendez and Booker hosted a 2016 forum on the opioid epidemic with the U.S. Surgeon General, local doctors, treatment providers, and advocates. They partnered with local law enforcement to promote National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day and encouraged New Jerseyans to discard all unwanted narcotic pain killers and other prescription drugs at participating local police stations and county prosecutor’s offices. Sen. Menendez held another strategy session in the fall of 2015 to discuss drug treatment options and programs, access to medications, and explore ways the federal government can help.

Murder Charges After Remains Identified
By Chris Lundy JACKSON – A month after skeletal remains were found in the woods, police have charged someone with murder. Alan McGinnis, 27, was charged by New Jersey State Police with murder, kidnapping, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon, improper disposal of human remains, and destruction of evidence. He is currently lodged in the Ocean County Jail. He is charged in the murder of Cody MacPherson, 20, whose remains had been found in the woods in Jackson. MacPherson, who recently moved from Indiana to Browns Mills, had gone missing in September. MacPherson’s body had been found on March 19 by a fire warden preparing the land for a controlled burn, police said. District Warden Richard Byrne spotted human remains under logs in the area between 433 and 483 on South Stump Tavern Road in the Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area. When he approached the remains, he saw what appeared to be a skull and called po-
lice. He then called his supervisor to make sure that the controlled burn would stop to preserve any evidence. Detective Shaun Clark, the State Police Homicide Unit, and the Major Crime Homicide Unit of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office responded. An initial investigation showed that the remains were most likely MacPherson, who had been reported missing out of Burlington County months earlier. The next day, a forensic pathologist at Community Medical Center in Toms River ruled the cause of death to be a stab wound to the left abdomen. X-rays of the teeth were consistent with those of MacPherson. Dr. Dante Ragasa was assisted by forensic anthropologist Anna Delaney, and forensic odonatologist Dr. Stewart Alexander. Search warrants were served at 6 a.m. on April 21 in a location in Pemberton and Jackson. The investigators determined that in the early morning hours of Sept. 24, 2017, Alan McGinnis of Pemberton allegedly stabbed MacPherson several times at a home at 234 Pardee Blvd in Pemberton. The suspect then allegedly put the victim in the trunk of a vehicle and brought him to the woods. He then cleaned the crime scene. McGinnis later returned to the woods to further destroy evidence. Anyone with information should contact Detective Brant Uricks of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Homicide Unit at (732) 929-2027, Detective Shaun Clark of the New Jersey State Police Homicide Unit, Detective Brian Miller of the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Homicide Unit, Detective Jason Luis of the Pemberton Police Department, or Detective Scott Conover of the Jackson Township Police Department.

NJ Medicinal Marijuana Program Now Accessible On Mobile Platforms
By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Department of Health recently announced that you can now access the NJ Medical Marijuana Program on mobile platforms, where you can perform tasks such as register, upload documents and make payments from your phone or tablet. “Continuing our focus on improving the consumer experience in the Medicinal Marijuana Program, for the first time since the program’s inception, the website is now mobile friendly,” said New Jersey Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal. “With the rise in smartphone and tablet usage, providing mobile access to the Medicinal Marijuana program is a great fi rst step.” In addition, the Department is also investing $50,000 into a public awareness campaign, which aims to inform physicians and patients of expanded medical conditions. The public awareness campaign will consist of social media, a radio PSA by the Health Commissioner and online advertising. Not to mention, the Department plans to produce a webinar this spring, where the Commissioner can teach lectures for medical students, residents and other physicians throughout NJ. Commissioner Elnahal submitted a report of the NJ Medical Marijuana Program that contained over 20 reforms to the program, of which mobile access was one. With this report, the program has now added five new medical conditions – including anxiety, migraines, Tourette’s syndrome, chronic pain related to musculoskeletal disorders, and chronic visceral pain –, reduced patient and caregiver fees, allowed dispensaries to submit waivers to add satellite locations, proposed changes in law that would increase the monthly product limit for patients, and allow those in hospice care to have an unlimited supply. The Alternative Treatment Centers have submitted three satellite waiver requests so far. Some of the changes to the program include:

If your hearing aid is not working, check the following items: 1. Battery - Put a brand new battery in the hearing aid. Be sure the battery is the right size and is inserted correctly. If you have trouble closing the battery door, the battery is in backwards. Don’t save batteries once they have been used, as they tend to get mixed up with the new ones. 2. Battery Door - Be sure the battery door is closed completely (snapped shut) when the hearing aid is being used. 3. Wax - Wax is the most common cause of hearing aid breakdown. Look at the canal end of the hearing aid and see if there is wax in the small portholes. You will need to use a bright light (i.e., flashlight) to see into the sound tube. If the tube is clogged with wax, use the little wire tool provided with the hearing aid or a soft toothbrush and briskly brush the wax out of the hearing aid (hold the hearing aid downwards so the wax will flow toward the floor). 4. Correct Positioning – Be sure that the hearing aid is positioned in the ear correctly and pushed firmly, but not forcefully, down into the ear canal. Looking in the mirror is sometimes helpful to make

sure your hearing aid is not sticking out of your ear. Sometimes a hearing aid hurts the ear and people try to avoid the problem by pulling the aid out of the ear a little. Don’t do this. If the aid hurts, you should contact your audiologist and set up an appointment immediately. Be sure the hearing aid is in the correct ear. Most hearing aids have a red marking for the right ear and blue marking for the left ear. 5. Tubing – If the hearing aid is a behindthe-ear type, check to be sure the tubing is not twisted, cracked or plugged. Hold it up to the light and look for drops of moisture in the tubing. If the tubing does not look normal, contact your audiologist immediately so the tubing can be replaced. 6. Whistling – If the hearing aid whistles, make sure the hearing aid is inserted correctly. Be sure the volume is not turned up too high. Finally, make sure your ears are not clogged with wax. 7. Booklets – Read the instruction booklets that came with your hearing aid. They are very helpful in troubleshooting any problems that you may be having with your hearing instruments.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Marijuana Coming To A Pharmacy Near You By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. As a pharmacist for almost 30 years, I have to tell you I never thought I’d live to see the day when an advisory committee to the FDA unanimously voted to approve a pot-related drug, known as Epidiolex. It is making a lot of people scratch their heads in wonder, for many reasons: 1. Does this mean pot is legal? No 2. Will this drug be sold at stores without a prescription? No 3. Is it going to make people high. No The FDA’s move to prescriptionize a cannabis-related drug is stunning to most, but to me. It’s really no surprise considering the pressure they’ve been under these past few years. You see, parents of children with seizures have become activists, and have been all over regulatory agencies, such as the FDA to change the laws. Why? Because conventional medicine like benzodiazepines, phenytoin, valproate, gabapentin and/or carbamazepine weren’t always clinically successful. Children were becoming seriously injured or disabled from seizure-related accidents. Many died in their mother’s or father’s arms. Families were going bankrupt. Somewhere along the way, word got out that an extract called CBD (cannabidiol) from the cannabis sativa plant (ie pot) could stop the seizures and make some of these kids go from catatonic, to normal with one special cookie! Epidiolex is causing a lot of consumer confusion, as well as heartache in Colorado, which is the state I live in. By the way, you make your own form of cannabis every single day, and this
naturally-produced compound binds to the cannabis receptor in the same exact way as if you had smoked a joint! You have “pot” receptors all over your body. Colorado-based dispensaries have been in business for decades, and we are experiencing a population explosion in my state, primarily because we have what I call a “Pot Rush” going on, which is akin to the Gold Rush in the 1850’s, except now the commodity is weed, not gold. Epidiolex is pure CBD. There’s no psychoactive THC in it. This drug will require a prescription. The problem here is that dispensaries in Colorado can’t sell FDA approved drugs, like Epidiolex, and likewise, pharmacies in Colorado can’t sell cannabis-containing products! Parents in every state (except Colorado) will soon be able to go to the pharmacy to get the drug, once it is approved and on the pharmacy shelf. You will need a prescription. FYI, cannabis-related products can and do help with dozens of conditions, especially symptoms of insomnia, pain, autism, high anxiety, inflammatory (cancer) and autoimmune disorders. I have a longer version of this article that I can send to you if you sign up for my newsletter, at my website, suzycohen.com. In summary, Epidiolex is different from medical marijuana, mainly because it does not contain any THC whatsoever, and also because it is FDA approved, and standardized. It is the most potent form of CBD currently available, and it can’t be sold by dispensaries. Once it hits the U.S. market, it will only be available at pharmacies nationwide, with the exception of pharmacies in Colorado.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Holidays At My House
Dear Joel, Every Memorial Day weekend our families get together for a weekend bash. My sister Julie is always the host, but this year I want to do it. Two years ago my husband and I bought a lovely lake house. I want the family to enjoy a big cook out, games, music and even some fireworks at the lake. How can I persuade everyone to come to my house and try something new without setting off the fireworks early? ANSWER: First of all, what a great tradition! So many families never make time for each other. She seems like she really likes being a host, but does she know you really want to open your home to the family? Has she been to your home? Ask
again and if she resists, invite as many people as you can for a non-holiday gathering and let them see how much fun a new setting can be. Post the pictures and videos of all the fun. Maybe you can start a new tradition, a family get together on a random weekend in the summer. That way you’ll have even more good times together. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

First Ever Autism Day At Six Flags Great Adventure! JACKSON – Custom Ed Foundation and Gersh Academy are transforming Six Flags Great Adventure into a sensory-friendly environment for individuals on the autism spectrum on May 3. People with autism often struggle with sensory overload and have a hard time processing too much touch, taste, sight and sound—which makes visiting an amusement park next to impossible.
The goal of this event is to remove those obstacles so families with children on the spectrum can not only attend the park but really enjoy it! This is the first time ever that an amusement park of the magnitude of Six Flags has been transformed into a sensory-friendly environment, and we are excited to make this event happen! Join us at Six Flags Great Adventure from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on May 3 for this event.

YOUR AD COULD BE HERE!
Inside The Law Title Insurance: Why Every Purchaser Needs It
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Dina Vicari, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Many people ask their attorneys, “what is a title search and why do I need title insurance?” Next to having the appropriate funding to purchase your new home, ensuring that the home you intend to purchase has clean or clear title is essential. All mortgage companies require clear title. It is important to ensure that you have title insurance in the event a title issue arises after you have purchased the home. Title searchers review old deeds, mortgages and wills at the County Clerk’s office to trace the ownership history of the property. They look for any current or past mortgages, liens or judgments on the property that have not been discharged as well as whether there are any tax liens or unpaid municipal utility bills. The title searchers will also examine the chain of title to confirm that the seller’s ownership rights have not been affected and that the sellers are, in fact, selling you a home without any adverse possessory or equitable interests such as pending litigation or easements. These examples are endless, but the title company performing the search has the expertise to find all relevant concerns prior to the purchase. Once the title company completes its search it will issue an insurance policy after closing which will insure you and your lender should anyone at any time in the future come knocking on your door claiming an ownership or possessory interest in your property. Should this occur, the title company will step- in and provide you with a legal defense and assume the costs of any litigation. This coverage is similar to automobile insurance after you have become involved in an automobile collision. After an automobile collision, your automobile insurer will provide you with legal assistance and take corrective measures in the event you are sued. Fortunately,
unlike automobile insurance where you pay your premium annually, Dina M. Vicari Esq. monthly or quarterly, your title insurance premium is paid only once at the time of closing and this one time premium will provide insurance coverage for as long as you own the home. It is also important to note that if you have a mortgage you need to obtain both a Lender’s and Owner’s policy. The Lender’s policy covers the mount of the mortgage that is due at the time any claim is made. An Owner’s policy covers your ownership interest, which is a relatively inexpensive addition to the policy premium. In New Jersey, title insurance is usually paid by the buyer. After closing the buyer’s attorney may need to perform additional legal tasks to complete the conditions of the title policy such as filing additional deeds and discharge of mortgages. The purchaser will receive the final title policy in the mail approximately 6-8 weeks after closing. While all of this may be overwhelming, we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Wills and Trusts, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate, Medicaid, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning, Powers of Attorney and much more.

Top Honors For Preferred Home Health Care
By Fran Kirschner EATONTOWN – Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing Services-Acelleron ranked among the top 25 as one of the 2018 Best Workplaces in Health Care and Biopharma in Fortune magazine’s Great Place to Work. Jonathan Herman, COO of Preferred, said, “This amazing accomplishment, in which we bested much bigger, larger, and national companies, including the Mayo Clinic and the American Heart Association, is a testament to the core culture that we’ve cultivated and the company we continue to build.” Ranking was based on employees’ assessments of the pride they take in their jobs, the camaraderie they experience with coworkers, and the trust they feel toward Preferred’s leaders. Among other comments, employees at Preferred said, “I’m proud to tell others I work here; People celebrate events around here; Management trusts people to do a good job without watching over their shoulders; I feel good about the ways we contribute to the community; Management is honest and ethical in its business practices.” Preferred offers several employee-centric programs. Preferred One Wish allows every employee to submit one wish they would like to see fulfilled in the upcoming year. For example, one of the clinicians requested a Kindle with braille features for a client with visual disabilities. Wish granted! As part of the program Preferred Honor Roll, at the end of every quarter each division manager gets to nominate one
of their employees who went above and beyond for the preceding three months. That employee receives a $150 gift card as a reward. Other employee benefit programs include a free car seat of their choosing for every internal employee, male or female, who is expecting a child. All internal female employees are entitled to 12 weeks of fully paid maternity leave at their annualized salary rate. All male employees are entitled to two weeks of fully paid paternity leave at their annualized salary rate. Preferred also offers partial or full tuition reimbursement to internal employees. Employees and their office colleagues are treated to lunch on their birthday; alternatively, they could choose to make a donation to a local food bank. Preferred is always looking for candidates who have contributed to society in meaningful ways, including putting more back into their communities than they take out. For example, Preferred looks for employees who have volunteered at local charities, nonprofits, or other community-based organizations. Joel Markel, president and CEO of Preferred, said, “We look for employees who embody the core of what Preferred represents, which is giving back to others. We’re proud of how our Preferred employees work together to improve the health of people we serve, and how they support each other.” For more information about Preferred, contact Lisa Gallicchio, director of community relations, at lisa@preferredcares. com or call 732-547-9886.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of APRIL 28 - may 4
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Tick all the boxes. In the week ahead, you may have plenty of energy at your disposal. If you are organized and prioritize your work, you can get what you want in record time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Embrace benevolent instincts. They make it easy to forgive those who have not been fair. In the week to come you will be able to achieve a compromise and create some good karma. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make intelligent choices. Your mind may be like a steel trap, so don’t let it get rusty. In the week ahead, achieve your goals through shrewd maneuvering and make your family happy too. CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the week ahead, you may focus on moneymaking activities. You can’t relax and have fun until everything has a place and is in its place. You like to be prepared for every contingency. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The more you think, the more you develop links. In the week ahead, you might consider turning a hobby into an income producing project or invite friends to participate in a business venture. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dreams and inspiration are a necessity, but relentless and continuous effort will bring you the greatest success. In the week to come avoid being overly influenced by someone’s vague promises.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Loosen up. In the upcoming week don’t treat family members with the same formality with which you treat business acquaintances. Use different guidelines for different groups of people. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the coming week you may have ample opportunities to spend more time doing the things you like to do, with the people you like. Your mind will be energized by provocative subjects. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Get the best bang for your buck. In the week ahead, you should be more savvy than usual about purchases, business deals and financial investments. Exercise thriftiness. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Run your life like a well-oiled machine. You have enormous drive and energy in the upcoming week. Spend time with friends or be part an active participant in group activities. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There may be an opening to join a local group or organization in the week ahead. New contacts may enrich your life, but where your wallet is concerned be sure to read the fine print carefully. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There is safety in numbers. Peer pressure will keep you safe when a romantic fantasy tends to distract you from the facts. As this week unfolds focus on being careful with your money.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Fish Tale: There’s More Than One Way To Make ‘Fish And Chips’ By Wolfgang Puck ROASTED RED SNAPPER FILLETS WITH NEW POTATO CRUST AND RED ONION SAUCE Serves 3 to 6 For the new potato crust: 3/4 pound (375 g) small new potatoes, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter About 1/3 cup (85 mL) clarified unsalted butter Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper For the red onion sauce: 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) coarsely chopped red onion, about 1/2 pound (250 g) 2 cups (500 mL) dry red wine 1/4 cup (60 mL) port 1/4 cup (60 mL) balsamic vinegar 1/2 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves 1/2 cup (125 ml) good-quality canned or frozen fish stock 1/4 cup (60 mL) heavy cream 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature For the red snapper fillets: 6 red snapper fillets, each 1/2-inch (12-mm) thick and 3 to 4 ounces (90 to 125 g) Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Chopped fresh thyme leaves
Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C). Meanwhile, prepare the potatoes: With a mandoline or a very sharp knife, cut the potatoes into very thin rounds as thin as potato chips. Arrange on a baking sheet in one layer and pour enough of the clarified butter over them to coat both sides, reserving a little for brushing the fish fillets. Season with salt and pepper, and bake until tender but not yet browning, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. Next, prepare the sauce. In a 10-inch (25-cm) skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, and saute until glossy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the red wine, port and balsamic vinegar; season with pepper and thyme. Boil until reduced by about half. Stir in the fish stock, and continue boiling, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken. Carefully puree in a blender, in batches if necessary, following manufacturer’s instructions to avoid splattering. Return to the skillet. You should have about 1 1/2 cups (375 mL). Stir in the cream, and cook 1 minute longer. Strain into a clean pan and whisk in the butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper and keep warm. Raise the oven temperature to 500 F (260 C). Brush the fish fillets with some of the reserved clarified butter, and season with salt, pepper and a touch of thyme. Brush a baking sheet with olive oil, and place the fillets on it, evenly spaced apart. Arrange the potato slices, one overlapping the other, on each fillet, covering the fillets to resemble scales on a fish. Bake in the hot oven for 4 minutes. Move the baking sheet under the broiler and turn on the broiler; watching carefully to avoid burning, broil until the potatoes turn golden and crispy, around 3 minutes longer. Spoon some sauce in the center of each heated serving plate. Using a wide spatula, place one or two fillets on top of the sauce on each plate. Garnish with pinches of thyme, and serve immediately, passing extra sauce on the side.
