By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Frank Servidio, a sixth-grader from Stafford, came to the Ocean County Vocational Technical School Career Discovery Day at the Brick center because he is interested in 3D printing and cars; but he also got the chance
to experience welding by reaching into a booth through a safety wall. “It was pretty fun and really helpful to see what it’s like to weld,” Servidio said. “Now I’m also interested in welding.” Exposing elementary- and middle-school kids to the 30
programs available to high school students is what the annual event is all about, said OCVTS Communications Director Jean Sullivan. Now in its fourth year, students from all over Ocean County started arriving at the (Vo-Tech - See Page 4)
Manchester Sets Rules For Independent Living Communities
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The Manchester Township Council recently adopted changes that would allow independent living communities in certain zones. Ordinance 18-032
amended the township’s land use and development code to allow for such com mu n it ie s. Those communities are “age-restricted (55 years and older) multifamily rental properties with a central dining facil-
ity that provides residents access to meals as part of their monthly [rent]. Other services may include housekeeping, linen service, hair/ nail salon, bank and transportation, as well as social (i.e. theater)

Graduates Will Still Wear Blue And Gold
Community News!
Dear Pharmacist
FOR BREAKING NEWS
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The cherished tradition will continue. It never was in any real danger of being eliminated anyway. The message made its way across social media and several parents called Superintendent David Trethaway to ask: will the district be going to one color for graduation gowns? Traditionally, the young men wear blue gowns and sit on one side of the aisle, the young women don gold gowns and sit on the other side of the aisle, during graduation. It’s reportedly been that way since the school opened in 1978. A petition at Change.org started circulating and gained more than 1,000 signatures to keep the colors blue for boys, gold for girls. Lakehurst resident Shanan Gilby started the petition. The superintendent took to the district’s website to address the issue. He reiterated the idea of changing to one color never made it beyond a casual discussion when brought up. The high school administration did get some input from students and their parents, and staff. One commenter on social media said the idea was met with “boos” from seniors when this idea was presented, likely at a class assembly. Other parents in local social media groups said that when they asked their high school senior children about it, many didn’t care one way or the other. “The input was that Hawk tradition is very important to all of our current students and parents as well as our alumni and there were strong feelings to keep the two colors at Manchester. I would agree with this opinion. A formal request to change to one color never really reached my desk nor was it ever discussed at the Board level. Due to the strong opinions received by the high school administrators from our students, staff, parents, and alumni, no request to change has been made to me,” Trethaway wrote. “While some schools have changed to one color for caps and gowns, there was never any one specific reason for the proposal at (Graduates - See Page 4)

Afterwards, students would bring their fully stamped passport to OCVTS admission representative Nicole Wallner where they would play Plinko and win a prize, such as a $5 bakery gift certificate, a t-shirt, sweatshirt or water bottle. “This way they feel like they walked out a winner, and they get something free from OCVTS that promotes our programs without even knowing, because when they

A zoning map produced by Maser Consulting, based in Red Bank, shows five such areas in the township: one north of Leisure Ridge, one west of Leisure Knoll, and the remaining near the Toms River Township border, west of Pine Lake Park. Gary T. Sylvester, CPWM, the township’s planning director, said while both zones require a three-acre building minimum, the HD-3 zones require a minimum rear and/or side yard of 60 feet when the yard is adjacent to residential zoning districts.

yard setback of 100 feet (as opposed to 50) along western and northern property lines and 15 feet (as opposed to 50) along eastern property line. Councilman President Craig Wallis assured Manchester residents that there were no plans to bring such a facility to the township. Creating the conditional use in the HD-3 and HD-3A zones gave the township “more control” over where such a facility may be built. Conditional uses can almost be described as pre-approved variances; the Barnes Law Group in Egg Harbor Township said conditional uses shift the focus from whether the use should be allowed at all to whether the applicant has shown that the specified conditions have been met.
An independent living community must be built on a lot at least 15 acres large. They must follow the existing setback and buffer requirements for each zone. They can have a maximum eight-units-per-acre density. Building height must conform with existing height defi nitions in the land use and development. An applicant must also provide 1.2 offstreet parking spaces per residential unit. An applicant can also establish as a subordinate use to an independent living community a third-party home health agency, with the proper licenses and certifications. The Manchester Planning Board approved the ordinance for Council consideration without any recommendations.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Resolve To Use Social Media Better I’ve seen a few friends make New Year’s Resolutions to quit Facebook or social media in general. (I fully expect them to come back by
March.) Social media, and Facebook in particular, can be fun and useful, providing you use it right. Don’t share anything too
private. Don’t feed the trolls. Have you ever heard anyone say: “My opinion completely changed after that a rg u ment I had on li ne
with a complete stranger.” Don’t share or click on clickbait. You can usually tell by the headline t h at it’s goi ng t o le a d nowhere.
Don’t share memes about important subjects. They’re pointless unless they’re jokes about TV shows or something like that. If you cut down on those
bad habits, your experiences on social media will be greatly improved. Chris Lundy News Editor
Letters To The Editor School Board Members Honored January marks School Board Recognition Month in New Jersey, and the Monmouth County School Boards Association Officers adopted a resolution commending the dedication and effort of local school trustees throughout the county. “School board members devote countless hou rs to their communities and public education, on behalf of children. They do this without receiving any compensation,” states the Monmouth County School Boards Association’s resolution. “Many local board members dedicate extraordinary amounts of time and effort to attend training and to reach out to state and federal lawmakers on behalf of their communities’ children.” Since the first School Board Recognition Month in New Jersey in 2002, the State Board of Education, the state-level public body that regulates public edu-
cation, has approved resolutions to honor the work done by local school board members. “Local school boards oversee their communities’ education programs and work with chief school administrators to set goals for our children’s education,” said Al Miller, president of the Monmouth County School Boards Association. “With more than 5,000 men and women serving on the state’s local boards of education, school board members constitute the largest group of public officials in New Jersey.” “School Board Recognition Month was designed to thank current and former school board members for their dedication on behalf of, and service to, their communities,” said Daniel Sinclair, New Jersey School Boards Association president. “New Jersey’s local school boards serve as the community’s voice in setting goals for their schools.” As an advocacy and service organization for the state’s local boards of ed-

Pipeline Project Needed I am submitting this letter in hopes that my fellow community members recognize the need for natural gas projects like Williams’ Northeast Supply Enhancement. The urgency for clean energy continues to grow. We need the NESE project to match this demand. I’ve been fortunate enough to gain a well-rounded understanding of the energy crisis in the Northeast both by having a career in the industr y and by having friends who oppose pipelines. Having a solid knowledge base and listening to differing opinions has led me to the conclusion that reliable and clean energy is the most sensible option for our future. No one can deny that the NESE project is expected to transport enough natural gas to serve more than 2 million homes and businesses in the Northeast. Being an environmentally conscientious person, I know meeting this need

In addition to being environmentally beneficial, I know the NESE will be a fantastic asset for this region by driving economic benefits and bringing nearly 3,000 jobs to our local communities. That means families and businesses will benefit. As a resident of the Northeast, it’s hard not to support a project that has such a positive impact on my community. I sincerely hope that my friends and neighbors will take a close look and ultimately join me in supporting this important project. Peter Collins Jackson
Violence By Americans Worse Than Perceived Threat By Immigrants For all those people who support a shutdown for a border wall, you better understand why people like me will be perfectly okay with a long term shutdown. Will people suffer? Yes, but suffering is a relative term. I can guarantee you that there is unimaginable suffering going on that wall supporters, and the public at large fail to see. Allow me to help you understand. There are two different types of people who support a wall and there are two different reasons. Either: 1. To drum up fear for political advantage or 2. because they bought into the fear that people coming across the border
tax dollars and destroy our economy. Let me fill you in on a secret. The monster of violence and destruction you fear is already within our borders. The economic drain on our society is already here. The root causes are born here, not abroad. Bullets within our borders are not only killing Americans at an alarming rate, but people who survive gunshot wounds are falling into our severely strained safety net and being labeled welfare queens. Let’s do the math shall we. Each day 246 people are shot and survive. For every shooting when someone lives... 1. Individuals lose wages. 2. The state and federal government lose tax revenue from lost wages. 3. Life saving and sustaining medical treatment is utilized by a person who is now incapacitated. One incident can quickly consume millions of dollars of care in a very short amount of time. 4. Each victim will most likely qualify and receive Medicaid, Social Security Disability and perhaps other state services. 5. Family members will have lost wages to care for victims. 6. Family resources will be depleted, sending more families and children into poverty. 7. Long term complications and ongoing care will continue to deplete public resources. Lead poisoning complications/treatment, personal care attendants, adaptive equipment, specialized transportation and long term nursing care to name a
8. The cost of trauma on victims is immeasurable, especially when they are retraumatized after EVERY news report of a shooting. 9. The cost of our soul as a nation when one’s manmade right to bear arms or campaign dollars from the NRA...weighs in as more important than the lives of dead victims or victims whose lives hang in the balance. Economists have been unable to put a cost valuation on this issue, but they need to. Some estimates are up over $100 billion. For me personally, I see it as this... one bullet that cost a gun owner $0.32 ...cost you, the taxpayer, millions of dollars the very first year of the injury. Multiply that by 246 people and multiply it again by 365 days per year. Then figure out how many years you want to calculate for and multiply by that number too! Was it worth the sale of the 32 cent bullet? Whatever figure you end up with...I can guarantee you it costs victims and families much, much more. America has an internal hemorrhage that is silently killing us from within. Only recently has the internal damage begun to cause symptoms as we cough up the blood of dead children in schools. Wall proponents are all worried about the superficial flesh wound. Sorry, we need to triage this nation. Your concerns will have to wait in the waiting room. Hunker down, this might take a while. So no... Not one dollar for your wall...fix America first! Jean Czarkowski Toms River

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Reinforcing Our Fight Against Global Anti-Semitism From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) reintroduced critical bipartisan legislation to provide the U.S. State Department with more diplomatic tools and support to combat the global rise in anti-Semitism. “We are seeing a precipitous rise in anti-Semitism
around the world, manifested th rough acts of violence against Jews and synagogues, insults, slurs, threats, and criticism of Israel that meets the criteria of what Soviet refusenik and religious prisoner Natan Sharansky called the ‘three Ds’: demonization, double-standard, and
de-legitimization,” said Smith, a co-chair of the Bipartisan Congressional Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism. “The U.S. must be a world leader in standing against this menace, and my legislation would help us redouble our efforts to fight global anti-Semitism.” Smith’s legislation - the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism Act (HR 221) - upgrades the position of Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism at the State Department, a leadership position created
and required by Smith’s original provisions of the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act of 2004. The provisions also created the Office to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism at the State Department. Smith’s bill would also mandate the timely nomination of a Special Envoy, as the position has been vacant for over 700 days and was empty for long periods in previous administrations. “Now is the time to fi ll this position and provide all the support necessary to carry out this all-im-
portant mission,” Smith said. “T he eyes of t he world are looking to us to be the leader in the fight against anti-Semitism.” At a glance, under Smith’s bill, the Special Envoy position: Would be elevated to the ran k of A mbassador at the State Department and report directly to the Secretary of State; Wou ld be t he pr i ma r y advisor to the U.S. government in monitoring and combating anti-Semitism; Would not be saddled with duties irrelevant to combating anti-Semitism, or
“double-hatted”; Must be filled (if vacant) by requiring the president t o nom i n at e a Sp e cia l Envoy within 90 days of the bill becoming law and not later than 120 days after the position becomes vacant. Sm it h was joi ned by or ig i nal cosponsors of the legislation Reps. Brad Schneider (D-IL), House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D-NY), Peter King (RN Y), Marc Veasey (DTX), Lee Zeldin (D-NY), Nita Lowey (D-NY), and Key Granger (R-TX).
Governor Murphy Signs Legislation To Enhance Safety And Security At Schools, Houses Of Worship, And Community Centers
NEW JERSEY – Governor Phil Murphy signed two pieces of legislation to enhance the safety and security of New Jersey residents at schools, houses of worship, and community centers. Assembly Bill No. 4597 makes a supplemental appropriation of $11,300,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Education to increase per pupil funding for nonpublic security aid from $75 to $150, and Assembly Bill No. 3906 makes a revision to the New Jersey Nonprofit Security Grant Pilot Program to expand the type of protective measures that can be installed or constructed at houses of worship and community centers. “Our administration is tasked with the vital responsibility of ensuring the safety and security of all New Jerseyans,” said Governor Phil Mur phy. “Working with our partners in the Legislature, we are taking significant steps to dramatically improve security measures for New Jersey’s children and families. I am proud to sign two bills into law that help ensure that anyone visiting a school,
house of worship, or community center may be free of fear and intimidation.” Primary sponsors of Assembly Bill No. 4597 include Assemblymembers Gary Schaer, Lisa Swain, P. Christopher Tully, and Benjie Wimberly, and Senators Joseph Lagana, Vin Gopal, Paul Sarlo, and Steven Oroho. Primary sponsors of Assembly Bill No. 3906 include Assemblymembers Annette Quijano, Valerie Vainieri Huttle, Jamel Holley, and Robert Karabinchak, and Senators Joseph Cryan and Kip Bateman. “Keeping all of New Jersey’s children safe is our number one responsibility as parents, leaders in the community, and legislators,” said Assemblyman Schaer. “The allocated funds will double the amount spent on security ser vices, equipment, or technology, and will ensure a safe and secure school environment for all students.” “A primary and essential function of government is providing security for our residents. Nothing could be more important than protecting our children and ensuring parents have
peace of mind and full confidence that their schools are equipped to keep students safe,” said Senator Lagana. “All New Jersey children are deserving of a safe place to learn and with this legislation being signed into law we move closer to that ideal.” “We have witnessed a disturbing increase in the number of incidents of hate and bigotry based on race, religion and ethnicity and the targets include churches, synagogues, mosques and non-profit agencies that serve the needs of the most vulnerable, including families and children,” said Senator Cryan, the former Sherriff of Union County. “We can’t ignore these threats and we should not tolerate any acts of violence or intimidation. This new law will help places of worship and other non-profit service organizations to better protect themselves so they can continue to serve our communities without fear. We will not allow any expressions of hate or discrimination to prevail. As Americans, we value our diversity, our freedoms and our security.” “The mosque attack in
New York last year led to threats for many Islamic worship centers across the country and here in New Jersey. The same has happened for synagogues and Jewish community centers after the tragic shooting last year in Pittsburgh,” said Assemblywoman Quijano,
who is chair of the Assembly Judiciary Committee. “Non-profit organizations that support residents within our communities are at risk of becoming targets of hate and discrimination more and more these days. With the potential of threats increasing at events and

online, certain organizations would benefit from additional funding to bolster security measures. This new law will help to keep organizations, their staff, and the people they serve safe.” Governor Phil Murphy signed the bills at YBH of Passaic.

–Photo courtesy Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore In 2018, Marisa Brandon, a 10th Grade Girl Scout from Howell sold 5,021 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies, over 2,000 more than any other Girl Scout in Monmouth or Ocean County. By Kimberly Bosco JERSEY SHORE – Be sure to have your wallets at the ready because Girl Scout cookies are coming your way! The Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore will launch the 2019 Girl Scout Cookie season on January 11. Girl scouts throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties will be taking orders through January 27. It doesn’t stop there! Girl Scout Cookie booths will set up purchasing locations outside more than 1,000 areas businesses starting February 22. “The annual Girl Scout Cookie program is the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world,” said Eileen Higgins, CEO, Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore. “It starts with a cookie, but our Girl Scouts get the skills to grow up and become the next generation of female leaders.” Girl scouts will be offering up our favorites, including Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs and Do-Si-Dos, Trefoils, Savannah Smiles, Girl Scout S’mores, and the gluten-free Toffee-tastic. Each box sold is a step in the right direction for our local girl scouts. According to The Hirl Scouts of the Jersey Shore, over 50 percent
of female entrepreneurs and business owners are Girl Scout alums, having gained essential business skills through their participation in the annual Girl Scout Cookie Sale. The Girl Scout Cookie Sale helps to teach these young girls essential skills and experiences such as leadership, travel, adventure, science, technology, engineering, and even math. According to a recent Girl Scout Research Institute study, the program also provides various benefits, finding that two out of three girls who participate in the program learn goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics, while supporting themselves and their communities. “Proceeds from the Girl Scout Cookie Program stay local,” said Higgins. “When a customer buys a box of delicious cookies from a Girl Scout, they’re making a direct impact in our community.” For more information on the Girl Scout Cookie Program in Monmouth and Ocean counties, visit gsfun.org/GirlScoutCookies. You can find a purchasing location near you by using the Girl Scout Cookie locator at girlscoutcookies.org. NEED AN EMERGENCY HOME REPAIR? WE’RE HERE TO HELP AT NO CHARGE

There is so much that hearing aids can do to improve your ability to hear. The rest is up to you. There are a number of strategies you should use to better your chances of hearing well in difficult listening environments. They require considering the sort of situation that you will be in and taking the necessary steps to make it a more listener-friendly environment. Reduce Background Noise Make sure to create the best listening environment wherever you go. Loud music and televisions can be turned down if they are competing with someone for your attention. At restaurants, ask for a quiet table. At a friend’s house, suggest that the conversation be moved into another room if kids are playing games nearby. At the office, move away from the air-conditioning unit when you are trying to have a conversation. Find A Good Spot Position yourself in a room where you minimize the distance between yourself and the speaker. When in a group, seat yourself in the center where you can see and hear everyone. In a large group listening situation, show up early so that you can choose a good position in the front of the room. Turn The Lights On To the extent that you can, make sure the room is well lit. In rooms with poor lighting, find a bright area and ask the speaker to stand there.
Plan Ahead If you know that you will be in a particularly difficult listening environment, take some steps beforehand to make sure that you will not be wasting your time by showing up. You can always call ahead of time and talk to someone who knows the environment in which you will be. Are there quiet tables? Is there front-row seating available? Will there be a light shining on the speaker? In a large group listening situation (such as a place of worship or a concert), call ahead to see if assisted listening devices will be made available. These devices transmit sound through a special receiver that you wear, reducing the loss of clarity that occurs when the sound travels a distance through the air. Ask For It Do not be afraid to politely but firmly assert your needs. Call out from the audience for the speaker to talk into the microphone. If un-amplified questions are being asked by audience members, ask that the questions be repeated by the speaker before being answered. If you are in a restaurant where the music is too loud, ask your waiter if it is possible to turn the volume down so that you can better hear your companion. If need be, ask people to face you head-on when they speak to you. People will appreciate your candor and your hearing will benefit tremendously.
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 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!
Local Dentist Providing Free Dental Care On Feb. 1
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – In honor of National Children’s Dental Health Month (CDHM), members of Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates will be offering free preventive and emergency dental care and referrals for one whole day for kids 12 and under. Local dentist Dr. Elisa Velazquez and her team at Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates will be participating in the one-day program, Give Kids a Smile!, on February 1. Give Kids a Smile is part of the American Dental Association’s (ADA) annual effort to shine a light on a very common childhood disease: dental decay. “Giving back to the community that has supported my practice is so important,” said Dr. Velazquez. “This program, in its 15th year, will touch the lives of so many of NJ’s children
who need dental care, but cannot afford it. I am proud to be a part of it,” she said. Those 12 and under who participate in the program on Feb. 1 will receive a comprehensive dental exam, dental cleaning, oral healthcare instruction, fluoride treatments, and free dental hygiene materials including toothbrushes, floss and toothpaste. The dentists and staff of OPDA are donating their time to help the children of Ocean County, as well as families in Ocean County with NO insurance or with state insurance. OPDA is prepared to treat 100 children during the Give Kids a Smile event. To schedule an appointment, call the office at 732-473-1123 or visit oceanpediatricdental.com. OPDA is located at 368 Lakehurst Road suite 305 Toms River, NJ.

6 Startling Reasons To Be Less Nice This Year
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Do you currently strive to be super human, always loving, kind, generous, giving? Do you demand this of yourself, in all of your relationships? Inside you may feel resentful, burnt out and unappreciated. Depending on how nice you are, you might experience insomnia, depression, minor compulsions or phobias, resentment, nagging aches and pains, autoimmune problems or chronic infections. I propose that in 2019, you be less nice. Nice often includes the following: • Don’t interrupt a person, even if they’re boring. • Always compliment, don’t tell the truth. • Text back within 15 minutes. • Like everyone’s facebook post even if you don’t. • Let the neighbor’s dog urinate and kill your lawn. • Don’t say a word about her drinking. • Don’t scold your son, even if he’s obnoxious and deserves it. • Let your co-worker pile more on your desk, and take credit for it. • Say yes to everything! You’re nice right? Saying no, or calling someone out is not nice. I submit to you that I am not a nice person. I propose that in 2019, you be less nice as a method of improving your health and mental well-being. It’s a good resolution, and one that you can actually stick to. Let’s go over the 6 Startling Benefits of Not being nice: 1. You have more time. When you stop saying yes to doing things and going places that don’t bring you enjoyment, you regain precious time in your own schedule. Remember, people’s agenda are most important to them, but as they try to claim your time, once that time is spent by you, it’s literally gone forever. 2. You will have more energy. It’s liberating sometimes, especially when you are disconnecting from a situation, person, job or relationship that has
been weighing on you for years. On the days that you feel overly tired, or spent, ask yourself, “What is on my agenda, or who am I meeting with today that is weighing me down?” 3. You will feel empowered. Have you ever wished your time was spent doing something different, but it was too late? You have the power to say yes or no, as well as the power to decide what to do with your time. It’s not infinite so spend it wisely. When you say NO to someone else’s plan for you, you are simultaneously saying YES to your own plan. 4. You’ll feel less anxiety and sleep better. When you spend months in frustration mode, or ruminate, you figuratively chew something in your mind over and over. Every thought you have squirts out a chemical that locks you into “sympathetic” alarm. This blunts your parasympathetic nervous system, the ones that allow you to rest and digest. 5. You’ll develop stronger relationships. You’ll lose friends, you might become estranged from siblings so don’t be surprised. I’ve warned you. People don’t like to cut off from their source of help, their battering board, or their support system. Being less nice will ultimately translate to stronger relationships, as people will like you for who you are. 6. Your schedule becomes more reliable. Nice people have erratic schedules because they jump to it when others are in need. When you become ‘not nice’ and stop agreeing to someone’s sudden whim for you, or perceived emergency, your schedule suddenly becomes more reliable, decluttered and more efficient. So, at this point let me ask you, can you be less nice this year? Being warm, enthusiastic, upbeat, affirming and kind is important. I used to be a saint, but full disclosure… I’ve put down my crown! It’s exhausting. Go to suzycohen.com and sign up for my newsletter and I will send you everything you need to do, say and read in order to reclaim your life.

Inside The Law Drone Rules: What Are The Rules When Flying Drones For Fun?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Fly for Fun under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft! You don’t need permission from the FAA to fly your UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, but you must always fly safely. You may elect to register your UAS to help in the recovery of lost equipment, but this is not required. The FAA has adopted the following UAS Safety Guidelines: • Fly at or below 400 feet • Be aware of airspace requirements and restrictions • Stay away from surrounding obstacles • Keep your UAS within sight • Never fly near other aircraft, especially near airports • Never fly over groups of people • Never fly over stadiums or sports events • Never fly near emergency response efforts such as fires • Never fly under the influence of drugs or alcohol Flying under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft The Special Rule for Model Aircraft (P.L. 112-95, Section 336) provides the definition and operating rules for flying a model aircraft. Model aircraft operators that comply with all of these operational requirements during flight do not have to register their UAS with the FAA. Model aircraft operators must follow these rules to fly under this Rule: • The aircraft is flown strictly for hobby or recreational use (once you start earning money from the use of the drone you have removed yourself from this exception); • The aircraft is operated in accordance with a community-based set of safety guidelines and within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization; • The aircraft is limited to not more than 55 pounds unless otherwise certified through a design, construction, inspection, flight test, and operational safety program administered
by a community-based Michael J. Deem organization; • The aircraft is operated in a manner that does not interfere with and gives way to any manned aircraft; and • When flown within 5 miles of an airport, the operator of the aircraft provides the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower (when an air traffic facility is located at the airport) with prior notice of the operation (model aircraft operators flying from a permanent location within 5 miles of an airport should establish a mutually-agreed upon operating procedure with the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower [when an air traffic facility is located at the airport]) A model aircraft is defined as an unmanned aircraft that is capable of sustained flight in the atmosphere, flown within visual line of sight of the person operating the aircraft and flown for hobby or recreational purposes. UAS Registration. If you do not operate exclusively under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, you must: Register your UAS if it weighs more than 0.55 pounds and less than 55 pounds Label your UAS (PDF) with your registration number and Read and understand all safety guidelines Registration costs $5 and is valid for 3 years. If you are flying under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft and you wish to register voluntarily, you should register as a “modeler.” If you are flying under part 107, Section 333, part 91, a public COA, or for non-recreational purposes in general, you should register as a “non-modeler.” In order to register, you must be: • 13 years of age or older (if the owner is less than 13 years of age, a person 13 years of age or older must register the small unmanned aircraft) • A U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Certain Foods Can Help Us Stay Calm
Dear Readers: We have all had our days where anger seems to take over. We lash out at the ones we love and feel guilty afterward. They don’t happen too often, here’s hoping, and we usually apologize and forgive (the alternative is to hold a grudge, and feel sad and depressed). It is important to recognize that if this is persistent it could be a disorder of some kind. That being said there are foods that can actually help us in staying calm. I loved this and wanted to share: Kiwis - Kiwis are filled with Vitamin C and actually contain more Vitamin C per fruit than oranges. (Who would a thunk?) Pumpkin Seeds - Thought that they were only popular during the Halloween season? Think again, pumpkin seeds are eaten by Americans all year through. They are filled with Magnesium. They also reduce the effects of anxiety, a known killer to our health. Leafy Vegetables - Another goody loaded with magnesium. Americans enjoy eating iceberg lettuce but there are so many more leafy vegetables now available that are loaded in healthy stuff.
Finally, chamomile tea is almost as good as a kiss good night. It is a great and healthy way to end the day (it is related to the Daisy family) and a nightly cupful can reduce the day’s stress. And for my male readers I am not sure of the nutritional benefits to women but Brazil nuts have a reputation of raising the libido. Now that sounds simple. You can find them in better supermarkets throughout the entire year. They are available without the shell. I especially enjoyed sharing this information in that it is an inexpensive way of reducing stress and anxiety. It is important to remember that if allergies or medications are of concern, please consult your doctor. Wishing you a great week with less stress. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SUFFERING WITH NEUROPATHY? IS THE NUMBNESS & TINGLING UNBEARABLE? Time to get your life back! This advanced, all-natural treatment can help you finally find long lasting relief. “I can’t sleep at night – It’s like constant pins & needles in my feet” Peripheral neuropathy often affects multiple facets of a person’s life; they can’t sleep, they’re constantly suffering, and can’t enjoy life the way they used to. Whether this sounds like what you’ve been dealing with, or if you’ve only just begun to feel the numbness, tingling, or pain associated with neuropathy, it’s important you take action to find relief. So many people suffering from neuropathy try lots of exhausting treatment options and medications with little success. That is no longer necessary with this innovative program by Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation, covered by most major insurance providers including Medicare. We’re offering FREE consultations ($245 value) for our neuropathy treatment – call 732-345-1377 to reserve your consult to learn what custom treatment program our doctors can create for you.
If you’re interested in learning firsthand about this breakthrough treatment, call for a completely FREE initial consult ($245 value) – 732-345-1377. But hurry, this valuable offer is only available to the first 17 callers! Forget about drugs with nasty side effects, or being told to “just live with it” Doctors who couldn’t help you, failed attempts to find relief, endless frustration: these are things of the past. The team of experts at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation (MPR) offer holistic and effective solutions to your numbness, tingling, burning, and pins & needles sensations. At MPR, it’s all about YOU and your needs. Each patient receives a customized treatment program, a curated combination of the most trusted and successful technologies that actually have an effect of your symptoms, without having to take more medications. This treatment is unique and works FAST K-Laser therapy at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation has been proven to reduce the painful and numbing symptoms of neuropathy, whether patients are in the early stages, or have been suffering for years and are finally seeking treatment. Tom P., an MPR patient, explains, “I could barely feel anything happening during my laser treatment except for a bit of a warm feeling. I knew it had to be working though, because I could tell a difference even when I went home that day. And now, months later, I feel SO much better!” In addition, the doctors use non-invasive care to eliminate any nerve issues, which effectively gets to the root of your pain. They then treat the symptoms, allowing you to not only feel relief, but also address the cause of your pain. Special low-force instrumentation frees the nerves to eliminate any damage caused by old herniated discs or arthritis. One of the especially distinctive characteristics of the neuropathy treatment at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation is their use of Power Plate© technology, which stimulates the body’s natural reflexive response through vibration. This immensely increases blood and nutrient circulation to the nerve cells. What are you waiting for? This treatment is DIFFERENT, SUCCESSFUL, and the initial consultation is FREE! You have nothing to lose. The team of doctors at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation aims to help their patients get their lives back. Living in pain or trying ineffective treatments time and time again are a thing of the past. Call today for your free consult – 732-345-1377.

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – An Ocean County attorney and GOP leader was indicted by a federal grand jury for tax evasion, among other charges, the U.S. Attorney New Jersey District Office reported. George Gilmore, 69, of Toms River, was charged with one count of income tax evasion for calendar years 2013, 2014, and 2015; two counts of filing false tax returns for calendar years 2013 and 2014; failing to collect, account for, and pay over payroll taxes for two quarters in 2016, and making false statements on a 2015 loan application submitted to Ocean First Bank N.A. He is accused of evading more than $1 million in taxes. “Gilmore worked as an equity partner and shareholder at Gilmore & Monahan P.A., a law firm in Toms River, where he exercised primary control over the firm’s financial affairs. Gilmore filed on behalf of himself and his spouse federal income tax returns declaring that he owed $493,526 for calendar year 2013, $321,470 for 2014, and $311,287 for 2015. Despite admitting that he owed taxes for each of these years, Gilmore made no estimated tax payments and failed to pay the federal individual income taxes that he owed. “Rather, between January 2014 and December 2016, Gilmore spent more than $2.5 million on personal expenses, including substantial home remodeling costs, vacations, and the acquisition of antiques, artwork, and collectibles. By Dec. 31, 2016, based on the tax due and owing that Gilmore reported on the returns, he owed the IRS
$1,520,329 in taxes, penalties, and interest,” a U.S. Attorney New Jersey District office Jan. 10 press release said. If convicted, Gilmore may face up to 3 years for each count of filing a false tax return, up to 5 years for each count of failing to collect payroll taxes, and 30 years for loan application fraud. He also faces a fine from $250,000 to $1 million. He will be arraigned at a date to be determined. Gilmore’s law firm did work for a number of local governing bodies. Some of these were subpoenaed by investigators. In February of 2017, Micromedia Publications reached out to some of the local towns to find out if they had been subpoenaed. Some responded, some did not. Berkeley’s attorney, Lauren Staiger, who works for Gilmore and Monahan, said in January of 2017 that the town was served a subpoena seeking township records such as contracts and bills relating to the law firm, and their corresponding council resolutions and minutes of those meetings. Bay Head had been subpoenaed. Eagleswood uses Gilmore and Monahan. However, they did not receive any subpoenas as of February of 2017. Jackson Township, Lacey Township, Plumsted Township all were subpoenaed. Manchester Board of Education had used Thomas Monahan, the other half of the firm, but they reported that they were not subpoenaed. The boards of education for Bay Head, Point Pleasant, and Toms River all replied that they did not receive a subpoena. - Chris Lundy contributed to this story

Managing Osteoarthritis with Physical Therapy By: Candice Brockel, DPT
I
n order for our body to move, we have bony connections called joints that are attached by tendons and ligaments. Covering the end of each bone within the joint is a smooth and flexible tissue called cartilage. This tissue provides protection, reduces shock, and decreases friction between the two bones during movement. WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS? Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disorder in which there is progressive destruction of the articular cartilage. Due to the loss of the cartilage, the joint space becomes narrow allowing the bone ends to rub together. This creates pain and may lead to further damage such as bone deformity or bone spur formation.
HOW DO I GET OSTEOARTHRITIS? The cause of primary osteoarthritis is unknown, however, there are factors that may increase your risk for this condition. These include age, gender, past injury/ trauma, obesity/ weight gain, leg length discrepancy, and sports or occupations that place repetitive stress on the joint. There are even theories of genetic factors leading to primary osteoarthritis. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, and is usually more common in women than men over the age of 50. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? Osteoarthritis is characterized by joint stiffness and pain, generally affecting large, weight bearing joints. Typically, the joint involvement is often asymmetrical. In other words, the complaint of pain is usually worse on one side than the other. Many people report feeling or hearing joint noises such as crunching, crackling, or clicking with movement, not always associated with
pain. The stiffness is usually felt in the morning or after prolonged periods of rest, which improves with movement. Other symptoms include increased pain by the end of the day and pain during/after activity, relieved by rest. At the late stages of the disease, you may experience pain even at rest. Limitations in strength and joint range of motion become apparent as well as noticeable joint deformities due to cartilage destruction and joint space narrowing. Inflammation is not a primary characteristic of this disease but may be seen in the late stages due to bone trauma. HOW IS IT DIAGNOSED? Osteoarthritis is diagnosed by X-ray results assessed by your physician. Clinical findings of symptoms can also provide a good insight for diagnosis. HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP? While physical therapy cannot change the damage that has already been done, it can help manage your symptoms to improve activities of daily living. Within our joints there is a substance called synovial fluid, which lubricates and provides nutrients to our cartilage. Because cartilage has no blood supply when it is damaged there is no way for it to regenerate. However, when we move our joints, synovial fluid is produced. Therefore, it is vital that we get our joints moving to provide extra protection and lubrication to the already damaged area, which as a result, decreases pain and improves mobility. When coming to physical therapy your physical therapist will first perform an evaluation to get the history of your condition and identify limitations or restrictions with your movement through an objective assessment. Since the progression and symptoms of osteoarthritis are different for each person, your therapist will create an individualized exercise program specific for your needs. In general, your therapist will give you exercises in your pain free range to help promote synovial fluid production. It is also important to decrease the stress/ forces placed on your joint by increasing the strength of the surrounding muscles. Depending on the severity of the disease, activity modification and proper instruction on the use of an assistive device may also be needed for pain relief. Along with therapeutic exercises, your therapist can provide hands-on techniques to improve joint function. In addition, certain modalities such as hot packs, cold packs, and electric stimulation can be provided to help ease your pain. You will also be given a customized home exercise program, which together with your attendance in physical
therapy will become key to improving your symptoms and slowing the disease progression. So why wait? If you are diagnosed with osteoarthritis or experiencing the symptoms described above, get up, lubricate those joints, and see what the skilled physical therapists at All-Care Physical Therapy Center can do for you.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE You’ll Never Be Left High And Dry As Long As Dr. Choxi is By Your Side By Michael Vandenberg “There’s always some kind of suppor t available,” for patients struggling with pain, Dr. Sarah Choxi told me in a recent discussion. If you, like many of Garden State Medical Center’s new patients, have been told by other doctors that nothing could be done to alleviate your suffering, it’s time to think again. When you combine the vast treatment options available at GSMC with Dr. Choxi and the rest of their pain management specialists (including founder Dr. Dharam Mann), that negativity simply doesn’t stand a chance. After all, her interest in helping people has driven her throughout her education and career. She decided to specialize in anesthesiology and interventional pain management because she saw how much those fields could change lives. “It was a way to help patients improve quality of life,” said Dr. Choxi. “It can be really difficult for people when they have pain to go through their normal day by day activities. So it was really impor tant to me as a medical student, later on as a resident, and now as an attending to be able to restore their function and have very independent lives.” People who have conditions that can’t be solved or are difficult to solve deserve the ability to be happy and painfree. Formerly at the Universit y of Chicago, Dr. Choxi was drawn to GSMC’s same focus, as well as the innovative tools it has to make it happen. “It’s a very multi-dimensional perspective on man-
aging pain,” she said. Their solutions include medication management, injections, spinal cord stimulators, and countless others that have been proven safe and ef fective. Of tentimes a combination of techniques works best. “Patients aren’t cookie cutter. They’re very unique and individual. So I think you need to have a plan in place that caters to their specific needs.” Garden State Medical Center has always been on the cutting edge, so it’s only natural for them to have so much under their umbrella. If Dr. Choxi thinks you need to see a rheumatologist, don’t start looking at next month’s calendar; you can see one of her rheumatologist colleagues in-house in a matter of days. She’ll probably even share her notes with them on their stateof-the-art electronic database, which will also help you to stay informed about your own care. Being in-the-know about the options available to you is an important part of the culture at GSMC. Dr. Choxi remembers one patient in particular who was desperate for answers. She had heel surgery and, although When she saw the pa- granted. Recently she it had physically healed, tient, she told her, “No went to a flea market with she was still feeling a matter what, we’ll fig- her husband and could ton of pain. Unfortunately, ure this out together.” Dr. actually just walk around the surgeon had been Choxi gave her options: for a couple hours and enjoy herself. Previously, dismissive, telling her five to be exact. The patient decided anything longer than ten that there was no reason to go with minutes used to be una n i n j e c - bearable. “I’m finally able tion called to just enjoy the weather a s y m p a - outside,” the patient told thetic nerve her. “I’m so glad that you block, and could give me options j u s t l i k e and I know that I can t h a t s h e trust you.” Trust in a doctor gives for her to be feeling dis- achieved 90 percent recomfort. “She felt a little lief. It was a life-changing patients the courage to pushed around by him difference, giving her pursue the treatment and sort of just pushed the ability to experience they feel most comfortout the door,” Dr. Choxi basic joys again in ways able with. Luckily, after remembered her saying. lots of people take for Dr. Choxi gives you the
most effective and safest options, she’s happy let you make the ultimate choice. Unfamiliar with how some of these methods work? She’ll happily go over everything with you at length and answer any questions. In addition, GSMC has models in every room to help patients visualize what doctors are describing. There are even televisions in all the offices with videos that give patients a full rundown of procedures and illustrations on how they’re performed. It ’s all bec ause Dr. Choxi’s patients “know
that they ’re going to get the care they de serve”. To get started, call 1-888-376-2661 today to schedule an appointment, or feel free to visit gsmedicalcenter. org to learn more on the procedures Garden State Medical Center provides. Dr. Choxi currently practices at 780 Route 37 West, Suite 110 and 1314 Hooper Avenue, Building B, Suite 101 in Toms River; 1100 Route 70, Entrance A in Whiting; 1608 Route 88, Suite 102 in Brick; and 100 Route 36, Suite #1K in West Long Branch.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jan 19 - jan 25 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Travel can broaden the mind and invigorate the spirit. This is a good week to begin an educational project or join a sports team. Put a romantic relationship on the back burner and focus on group events. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be fair if you dare. In the week ahead, you may easily disrupt someone’s expectations. If you concentrate on being fair-minded and exercise good sportsmanship in a key relationship, everything will be fine. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Downshift to low gear. Those in close connection will be more forgiving and more likely to unwind if you slow down the pace and are less judgmental. You may find ways to offer apologies in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t pass up a party or any other opportunity to dress up and mingle with others in a lighthearted venue. Helpful and interesting new connections could widen your scope of influence in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Demonstrate solidarity. As this week unfolds you might be drawn to people with similar backgrounds, interests and ideas. You may enjoy sociable group activities to alleviate the stresses and strains of responsibilities. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Hang out with the “in” crowd. You have heard the saying, “you are known by the company you keep.” During the week ahead, you may find new friends in the workplace who improve your sense of self-worth. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Heal the rift. You
may be overly concerned with how others react to you in the week ahead. If you are forgiving, and use logic rather than emotions, you can turn a minor misunderstanding into a closer connection. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The path of true love is not without bumps, but some days it is smooth as silk. Whatever barred your way is in the past and headway is possible. Apologies will be accepted, and peace can be restored this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be respectful of other people’s opinions and they will be respectful of yours. The week ahead may be fraught with misunderstandings, but a willingness to forgive and compromise will smooth things over. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Have gumption and travel. You can explore new ideas or places in the week to come if you are brave enough to step out of a self-imposed cage. Enjoy an upsurge of creativity and use imagination in the workplace. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): To please your friends and make your moneymaking ideas a reality your creative side must work overtime. A bubbling brook of provocative ideas may need more polishing before being presented this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Navigate a network of new acquaintances in the week to come. Your work may put you in contact with people who appreciate your skills. Avoid spending your hard-earned cash money on unnecessary items.

Send Winter’s Cold Packing With A Hearty, Heartwarming Soup By Wolfgang Puck CREAM OF LEEK AND CHERVIL SOUP Serves 6 to 8 10 cups (2.5 L) good-quality low-sodium canned chicken stock or broth 3 large leeks 1 baking potato, 6 to 8 ounces (185 to 250 g) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 cup (250 mL) heavy cream 1/2 cup (125 mL) packed fresh chervil leaves Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper Freshly squeeze lemon juice Put the stock or broth in a large pot, and bring it to a boil over high heat. Adjust the heat and continue boiling steadily until the liquid reduces to about half its original volume. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Trim the leeks, cutting off the root ends and the tough dark-green leaves. Carefully cut the leeks in half lengthwise, and rinse thoroughly under cold running water to remove all sand or grit from between the leaves. Cut the leeks crosswise into 1/4-inch (6-mm) slices. Peel the potato, and cut it into quarters. Cut the quarters crosswise into 1/4-inch (6-mm) slices. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until they
begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes longer. Stir in the reduced stock or broth. Bring to a boil over high heat. Then, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the leeks and potato are very soft, about 45 minutes. While the vegetables are simmering, put the cream in a small saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and continue boiling steadily, stirring frequently, until the cream has reduced by half. Set aside. When the vegetable cooking time has ended, stir all but 2 tablespoons of the chervil leaves into the pot, reserving the remainder for a garnish. Cook the vegetables and chervil for 15 minutes longer. When the vegetables are done cooking, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a food processor or blender, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Add a little of the cooking liquid to moisten the vegetables and puree them; then, transfer the puree to a bowl while processing or blending any remaining batches. Return the puree to the rest of the soup’s cooking liquid in the pot and stir in the reduced cream. Simmer over low heat for several minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt, white pepper and a little lemon juice. Before serving, mince the remaining chervil leaves. Ladle the soup into warmed bowls, garnish with chervil, and serve immediately.
