Comparing Jackson’s Needs To Other Towns
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – It’s been almost two months since Terence M. Wall assumed the role of the township’s business administrator. In that time, he has immersed himself in the township’s issues and challenges.
Wall, a Holmdel resident, replaced Helene Schlegel who retired last year. Schlegel served in that role from December 2015 until the end of December 2018. Wall began his $145,000 position on Jan. 23. He previously served as
borough business manager of Keansburg. He also served as business administrator of North Arlington for about six years before leaving to serve as business administrator for Cranford in 2013.

JCP&L’s Rates Best For Manchester, Plumsted By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Nobody can beat Jersey Central Power & Light’s prices. For now. The township went out to bid for a third-party energy provider for a new energy aggregation contract. The current contract ends June 30. The Manchester Town-
ship Council met at 2 p.m. on March 13 to review third-party bids. The problem was, there weren’t any that supplanted JCP&L’s rates. “Unfortunately, due to current market conditions the Township did not receive any bids that the mayor and council felt would provide the resi-
dents ample savings on their electric bills,” township business administrator Donna Markulic told The Manchester Times. Since 2017, Manchester has had a contract with TriEagle Energy, a company headquartered in Texas. That company provided rates 20 percent (JCP&L - See Page 2)

Media specialist Lisa Crate runs the store through the day and said the response has been “overwhelmingly positive. I had to turn away kids on the first day. Every student in the school has either come in to shop or at least browse.” Phillips, Crate and Hay also agreed that they didn’t want to see the shop seen by students with a stigma attached to it. “Our goal was to make it for everyone. Students today want independence to shop on their own and everything in the store is one dollar. We’re not going for profit here. The funds are going right back into the store,” Crate said. Phillips said she was pleased that students were involved in maintaining the store and working with staff on continually rotating donations. Seventh grade student Talyn McMillan said that her fellow students loved the idea of “paying it forward’’ and helping out. “I am a new student here. I got here two or three months ago and I like working there as I get the advantage of seeing what is about to be put out,” she said. This allows students to donate their middle school aged clothes and items, rather than just put them in a random donation bin in a parking
lot and never knowing what happens to them. “It is fun and there is some trendy stuff for a dollar where you’d have to pay $45 somewhere else. I like to shop but I don’t like to spend money. Students are still talking about it a lot. So many kids are going in there each day,” Talyn said. Hay said that “on our first day the line went through the doorway down the hallway. We generally get 50 kids a day at the shop” Phillips said the students visit the shop during their home room period, during lunch and can also go after school.
JCP&L:
Continued From Page 1 lower than JCP&L’s rates then. In February, Manchester adopted an ordinance making it the lead agency in an energy cooperative it entered into with Plumsted Township: the Manchester Energy Aggregation Procurement Cooperative. “Since the last energy contract was so successful, saving residents in the program an aggregate of $2.5 million over the life of the contract, the mayor and council will continue to monitor the markets to prepare to go out to bid in the near future,” Markulic said. Residents in the current program will return to JCP&L July 1 as their energy provider. They need not take any action. “If and when we do secure a new contract with a third-party energy provider, residents who were in the previous energy aggregation program will be automatically opted back in,” Markulic said.
Jackson:
Continued From Page 1 Wall served as a member of the Holmdel Township Committee and currently serves as a member of his community’s Board of Education. “My wife and I have four children in the school system and I attended Holmdel schools as a child. So, volunteering on the Board of Education is a special role for me. The knowledge gained by volunteering provides insights into the management of personnel, contracts, finances and buildings and grounds for any public school that shares a similar structure.” Since his hiring by Mayor Michael Reina and the Township Council he has worked to become more familiar with the staff, residents and the issues of the township. Comparing his work with other municipalities to Jackson, Wall said that “every municipality, regardless of size, provides core services to the residents that they serve. For example, police and fire protection, public works, finance, construction and housing, recreation and more. So, while each municipality has its own goals and objectives that are specific to its needs, the core functions have similarities,” Wall said. “The value of serving as a professional administrator with experience now in five municipalities is the diversity of issues presented and variety of problems solved. My hope and anticipation, is that this would bring value to meeting and exceeding the goals and objectives of Jackson Township,” he added. Wall’s position involves overseeing the township’s various departments and being in constant communication with the heads
of those departments. “I typically meet at least once a month with each department where we get together with the Department Heads and their next in command when available. This provides open communication and transparency so we can share what programs and opportunities are in process, review key obligations such as the municipal budget, purchasing, capital projects and provide a forum for discussion on any topic that folks wish to discuss,” Wall said. “My view is that we can do all things well. We need to be focused on excellent, polite service to the community and managing our time effectively. Key items of note are ensuring a fiscally responsible budget, providing efficient and competent service to the major improvements that have been approved by Jackson so they are a terrific success for the town and working in an open, positive and strategic way to fulfill the goals and objectives of the administration,” Wall said. The position also involves developing the budget for the 56,000-resident community. Wall said that “a great deal of effort has been put forth by the administrative and finance team prior to the beginning of my tenure here and it’s greatly appreciated. Together, we are now fine tuning the budget to provide the lowest possible tax rate that is stable and ensures that Jackson taxpayers are provided measurable value.” The new administrator said he appreciates the faith and confidence that Mayor Reina and the members of council have placed in his ability to perform the daily operations of the township. “Jackson is a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family. It’s an honor to serve the community,” Wall added.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. The Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) today named Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) a Congressional Champion, citing, among other things, Smith’s legislation to protect taxpayers and repeal provisions in the 2017 tax law that will undermine charitable giving, especially by low-and-middle income taxpayers. Members from the New
Jersey YMCA State Alliance and other NJ branches were on hand at the Y’s Champions Breakfast on Capitol Hill as Smith received the award and discussed his Charitable Giving Tax Deduction Act, HR 651. “Charitable organizations are a bedrock of our society, providing critical services every day often without public fanfare,” Smith said.
From The Desk Of The
Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON - Governor Phil Murphy announced that New Jersey’s Medicinal Marijuana Program (MMP) has reached another milestone, adding 25,500 new patients, nearly 1,000 caregivers and 412 doctors since Governor Murphy took office. A total of 42,528 patients, 1,736 caregivers and 925 doctors are now participating in the program. In the past 13
months, an additional 412 physicians have been added to the MMP, a 40 percent increase. The growing number of physicians participating in the program is attributable to a series of ten Grand Rounds lectures that Dr. Shereef Elnahal, Commissioner of Health, has given to 3,000 doctors and other health professionals to discuss the MMP. Those lectures have focused on evi-
Legislation To Allow More Charity Praised
“They feed the hungr y, shelter the homeless, and provide health care, education, job training and a myriad of other services to those in need. We can’t see them left behind by a flaw in the tax code. My legislation would help ensure this doesn’t happen.” Smith commended the YMCA and other groups noting that citizens who may not be able to volunteer want to help through donations. “I am working hard to ensure that charitable organizations like the YMCA can continue the human-
itarian work they do and at the same time protect the taxpayers - especially small donors - who want to help financially but may be forced to forgo that choice because of changes in the law,” Smith said. “My legislation would remedy this problem by restoring the full charitable tax deduction, making it universal and across-the-board, allowing any taxpayer who donates to a worthy cause to deduct their charitable donations.” As introduced, Smith’s bill remedies a problem created by the 2017 tax law
that doubles the standard deduction but now prohibits filers who take the standard deduction from claiming any deductions for charitable donations. Smith’s legislation would give taxpayers maximum flexibility, allowing them to claim their charitable donations whether they take the standard deduction or itemize. Smith said his bill “restores a tax incentive that has sustained many charitable organizations and the work they do for years.” Under the previous tax code, approximately 30
percent of tax filers itemized their deductions, but the new tax code is expected to reduce the percentage of filers who itemize their taxes - and therefore utilize the charitable deduction to roughly 10 percent. Smith’s new legislation is supported by a consortium of charitable and faithbased groups, including the YMCA, the New Jersey Catholic Conference, the Faith & Giving Coalition, the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), United Way Worldwide, and Independent Sector.
Medical Marijuana Program Expands dence that supports marijuana as an appropriate treatment for patients with certain debilitating conditions. “I am proud that New Jersey now has a medical marijuana program that is compassionate and is meeting the needs of more and more patients,” said Governor Murphy. “Today, thousands of residents living with anxiety, migraines, Tourette’s syndrome, and chronic pain, among other conditions, have increased access to medical marijuana when just one year ago many could not get the treatment they needed.”
The top five medical conditions among patients who have qualified for the program are: Chronic pain due to musculoskeletal disorders (25.4 percent), anxiety (20.2 percent) intractable skeletal spasticity (19.9 percent), PTSD (8.8 percent), and severe or chronic pain due to cancer or HIV (6.85 percent). “In recognition of the 3,000 New Jersey lives lost to the opioid epidemic in 2018, we have added opioid use disorder as a condition for which patients can get treatment with medical marijuana,”
said Commissioner Elnahal. “Importantly, we are also taking steps to ensure that these patients will be on Medication Assisted Treatment for their addiction, in addition to marijuana.” Previously, only individuals with opioid use disorder related to chronic pain qualified for the program. Other reforms made in the past 13 months include: Alternative Treatment Centers: Six businesses were selected to apply for permits to open new medical marijuana dispensaries (December 2018) Mobile Access: Patients,
caregivers and physicians can access registries, upload documents & make payments on Smart phones and tablets (April 2018) Physician Friendly: Doctors no longer required to be listed on public website (optional) Expanding Product: oils that contain extracted THC and CBD that can be vaporized; Pre-filled vape cartridges authorized (September 2018) For more information, search the hashtag #MedMarijuanaTalk on social media or visit the Department of Health’s Medicinal Marijuana webpage.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F eatured L etter State Should Cut Its Budget, Not School’s To My Elected and/or Appointed Officials: I am not one to email, call or post about anything, let alone politics. However I felt compelled to contact you regarding the funding cuts proposed t h roug hout the state, but in particular in Toms River, one of the largest districts in the state. A complex district given the size of the township and its diverse population. A township growing ever more diverse with an i n f lu x of i m m ig r a nt groups not yet assimilated into the language or culture who require educational and special services beyond current funding levels, let alone reduced levels. Not to mention the ever growing list of regulations, mandatory testing and programs mandated by YOU that force districts to choose between retaining workers necessar y to feed the gover nment’s bureauc r at ic pro ce sse s a nd information machine or a classroom teacher, or
essential staff critical in operating a district and preparing our children how to survive and prosper in the world. I am writing to ask that you rethink everything! Absolutely everything, before reducing fundi ng. L o ok i nt e r n al ly first to see how YOU can save money that will preserve school funding at current levels while removing outdated and unessential regulations and programs that work to our children’s detriment, not benefit. After all, we just gave you another 23 cents a gallon to fix our transportation infrastructure. With that additional revenue, and all of the other existing or proposed taxes, why should you have to touch school funding? I have lived in this state all my life. I can no longer stay silent and let the 20 percent who yell or riot the loudest or most destructively being the only ones heard. Katherine DeBari Toms River

People Will Leave If The Schools Fail Governor Murphy: I am a concerned parent worried about the aid cuts to our district. In the past we have been fiscally responsible, spending less than the average per student. The academic results from our schools have been excellent. Now with the current budget cuts, 400 teachers and all after school activities will be cut (over the next several years). This endangers our children, both academically and socially. More students per teacher will have a direct impact on the ability of our children to learn. Cutting all after school activities will impede on the team building and socialization skills they are learning from these activities. I believe that when the kids have nothing to do after school it may increase the trouble they can get in. I have three children; only one will be left in the Toms River School District after this school year. However, I want to see the children currently in the school system to get the excellent education and variety of activities my children experienced. My daughter (went to) Trenton to protest these cuts even though these cuts will not affect her, along with many other students who will not be affected. That is how much these kids care this is the community we have built here in Toms River - kids caring about kids. I also believe that these cuts will have a direct impact on the population in Toms River. These aid cuts will make our taxes increase and our school system’s reputation decline. People move to areas based on the school system and taxes. These cuts will be two strikes on Toms River if people are thinking of moving here. In addition, the increase in taxes will make people want to move. I urge you to rethink these aid cuts. There are plenty of other places where the budget should be cut. I am an accountant - call me in and I will help go thru the budget. Patricia Hearne Toms River
Letters Editor well as approximately 80 staff is distributed fairly to all We’re NotTo The Second Class Citizens Dear Governor, The Legislature and Education Department have created a financial crisis and will impose dire consequences on the students of Toms River. Job cuts will limit student access to educators. Lost sports, clubs, and programs will deny students the enrichment and opportunity to develop and grow as students and citizens. Other New Jersey districts have received extra funds over the decades while Toms River has been frugal and responsible with taxpayer money. That inequity must end and our confiscated surplus and aid must be restored to us. The citizens and taxpayers of Toms River should not be treated as second class and deserve the same respect and consideration afforded those districts which have received excessive tax money in the past. Thank you for your kind attention and consideration. James M. Osborn Teacher, Washington Street Elementary School
Cuts Could Cost 400 Jobs Dear Governor Murphy, Senator Sweeney and Assemblyman Coughlin: I am a member of the Toms River Regional Schools Board of Education, but I am not writing to you in that capacity today. Today I address you as a parent and taxpayer in the Toms River Regional School District. Toms River Regional students and taxpayers need your help! Funding cuts have a face. Toms River Regional District officials have begun to tell staff and parents which positions will be eliminated to accommodate the budget cuts due to S2, the school funding reform bill passed last year. The Toms River Regional Schools Board of Education informed the public we are looking at cutting 10 percent of all supply, textbook and miscellaneous accounts as
positions. These are real people who make a real impact on our kids day in and day out. Those cuts are just the beginning! Due to S2 we expect to lose over $80 million in state aid over the next six years. District officials have said because of this loss of state aid they expect to have to cut 400 staff positions over those six years. Class sizes in all grades are expected to grow to 30-40 students. Some grades are at 30 already. Parents and staff have been told all non-mandated programs, including athletics and courtesy busing, could get cut entirely or incur a cost to participate. Even full day kindergarten finally instituted in 2015 could be cut. These cuts will make running our schools impossible. They will devastate our children’s quality of life and their future. The children of Beachwood, South Toms River, Toms River, and Pine Beach and their schools deserve a fair funding formula. Every child does! Toms River Regional is the second lowest spending large district in the state this year at $16,300 per pupil. Based on our current enrollment, our district is more than $30 million under adequacy. That means we spend $30 million less than the NJ Department of Education expects us to spend in order to provide a thorough and efficient education for the children attending our schools right now. Our children deserve a funding formula that doesn’t punish well-run schools. It is unreasonable and short-sighted to remove funding from our district based on a flawed formula. Toms River Regional District officials have offered the state a solution in the form of a clear and feasible blueprint for fair funding for all public school children. Why have state officials ignored them? Toms River Regional schools cannot sustain these cuts and continue to provide our children with the education they need and deserve. Our community needs our elected representatives to finally fix the state education funding formula so that school aid
districts. I urge you to keep politics out of our classrooms and fund schools fairly. Anna Polozzo South Toms River
Expanded Access To Hearing Tests Needed March 3 was recognized as World Hearing Day, raising awareness on how to prevent deafness and hearing loss. Members of the New Jersey Speech-Language-Hearing Association (NJSHA) can think of no month more appropriate for Gov. Phil Murphy to sign a law that would increase access to professional hearing evaluations for the hearing impaired. Current law requires an audiologist to maintain an audiology license and a hearing aid dispenser license. Proposed bill, S. 746, which provides for an audiologist to maintain one license, has garnered unanimous support through the legislative process, as lawmakers recognize that audiologists must go through extensive training to earn a doctorate degree in audiology. NJSHA with the assistance of the New Jersey Academy of Audiology, has actively worked over the past several years to support the proposed bill. The proposed bill eliminates the two-license barrier for audiologists and will make it possible to attract both audiology students and practitioners to New Jersey. The single license is currently maintained in 36 other states and provides greater accessibility and choice to consumers. Prevention of hearing loss continues to be a national concern for people of all ages. Audiologists are the sole health professional to test and treat hearing loss as well as balance problems. NJSHA encourages you to seek the help of an audiologist if you or a loved one has a hearing loss as well as balance problems, in order to improve their overall health and quality of life. Alan Gertner, Audiologist Member of New Jersey Speech-Language-Hearing Association Toms River

PYNE to Distribute Free Tree Seedlings to Residents
PLUMSTED – Free tree seedlings will be available to Plumsted Township residents in the month of April as part of the New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign. This program helps communities replace trees damaged or destroyed by Superstorm Sandy. From 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 19, and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 20, residents will be able to pick up tree seedlings at the Plumsted Township Municipal Building, 121 Evergreen Road, New Egypt. Seedlings, available on a first come, first served basis, also come with instructions on how to store, care for, and plant them. The guides help residents choose the right place on a property to plant a tree while keeping in mind the tree’s full-grown size in the future. Residents should plant the seedlings within two days after pick-up in order to prevent the roots from drying out.
The goal of the Tree Recovery Campaign is to distribute 600,000 tree seedlings to New Jersey residents over the course of six years. It is a joint effort between Plumsted Township, New Jersey Forest Service, New Jersey Soil Conservation Districts, Sustainable Jersey, Arbor Day Foundation, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Canon, and FedEx. When properly planted and maintained, trees can be assets to a community. They improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood or business district, increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants, and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits. For a list of all distribution locations across the state, visit forestry.nj.gov or facebook. com/newjerseyforests.

22nd Annual Barnegat Bay Environmental Educators Roundtable WARETOWN – The 22nd Annual Barnegat Bay Environmental Educators Roundtable will be held at the Lighthouse Center for Natural Resource Education in Waretown on April 17. This much anticipated and regionally significant educators’ workshop is scheduled from 3-8 p.m. This year’s theme is “Changing Climate, Changing Watershed”. Workshop topics will focus on the changes in our local weather patterns and the resulting impact this has on the natural resources in our Barnegat Bay watershed. Registration is open to educators and community members interested in learning about Ocean County’s unique habitats, and native flora and fauna. Workshop facilitators represent diverse environmental organizations and agencies. The Ocean County Soil Conservation District invites you to our 22nd Annual Barnegat Bay Environmental Educators Roundtable. Come see what all the excitement is about as area educators and community members explore the important role our watershed plays in connection to the health of our environment. Both educators and nature enthusiasts from all over the county can engage in interactive workshops designed to inspire a new appreciation of our waterways, native woods and marshes, plants, animals, local history, and the watershed. Participating educators will engage in hands-on activities and field experiences to learn how climate change

and changing weather patterns impacts human development and natural ecosystems. Over one hundred educators and nature enthusiasts are expected to participate in this 22nd Annual Barnegat Bay Environmental Educators Roundtable to learn, network and bring resources back to their classrooms, students and community. The Roundtable Steering Committee strives to help our local educators and community members to “think globally and act locally.” We believe that an appreciation and understanding of the local environment helps lead to a sense of place and connection for area students and residents. Roundtable highlights include a light dinner, a free resource table, door prizes, native plant sale, and a special Keynote presentation by Lisa Auermuller, Assistant Director of the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve in Tuckerton. The Steering Committee has put together a variety of programs that offer something for everyone. The Environmental Educators Roundtable is $25 per person. Visit the OCSCD website atwww. soildistrict.org for a complete description of programs. Registration is on-line; educators and nature enthusiasts should register now to assure a spot in their favorite workshop! Call the Soil District at 609-971-7002 ext. 114 for further information.

Hearing loss is the third most prevalent condition among elderly Americans, behind high blood pressure and arthritis. While most people undergo blood pressure testing and treat their sore joints, few elderly individuals undergo hearing tests. When people do acknowledge a hearing problem, they usually do so at their spouse’s insistence. Why? In most cases, hearing loss develops so gradually that many sufferers do not realize that they have a problem. More than 90 percent of hearing loss is sensorineural (no deafness), which typically results from damage to the hair cells of the cochlea. This type of hearing loss is characterized by an inability to hear high frequency sounds and can be greatly improved with the help of a hearing instrument. Hearing breaks down into two basic
parts – threshold, the ability to perceive how loud sound is (volume), and discrimination, an ability to perceive how high or low it is (pitch). Sound moves in waves (cycles), and Hertz describes the frequency of those cycles. The higher the frequency, the more cycles, the greater the number of Hertz, the higher the pitch. Age-related hearing loss most often starts with deficits in discrimination because the ear loses its ability to register high frequency sounds. As a result, sounds formed by some consonants and blended consonants, such as “F” and “SH” which are uttered at higher pitch than vowel sounds, tend to sound alike. This is an indication of hearing loss. Remember, many people with age-related hearing loss say they can hear just fine. They just do not understand what is being said.
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!

New And Novel Ways To Treat Diabetes
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Diabetes affects millions of people each year, and some of the complications are fatal. There are many natural remedies, as well as dietary interventions. Traditional medications include those that attempt to correct blood glucose, insulin sensitivity, beta cell function or inflammatory compounds. They only go so far, and they cause serious nutrient-depletions (ie drug mugging). Lately, there has been a lot in the news about diabetes, and I keep up with it since I have a best-selling book on the topic, Diabetes Without Drugs. One quick side note. A long time ago, probably 10 years ago, I wrote publicly about how statins could lead to hyperglycemia. Unfortunately, some more research today proves I had every right to warn you this past decade. The March 2019 issue of the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology just published an article that shows how statins increase risk of developing diabetes by up to 38 percent. Statin cholesterol medications can easily predispose a person to developing diabetes. After a few months or years, you suddenly need to take medications for diabetes, in addition to your original statin med. The offending agents are not just statins, there are dozens of prescription and over-the-counter medications which negatively impact your blood glucose levels, glycation end products and overall insulin sensitivity. Here is more news and research that came out recently: Antivirals. Weird but true, people treated with antivirals slashed their risk of diabetes by half. The treatment used was a combination of Interferon and Ribavirin and the
patient population studied had Hepatitis C infection. Those people who were not medicated had higher risk of diabetes development, equating to about 20 percent of the participants. Those treated with the medication exhibited an incidence of just 10 percent. Cinnamon. A new meta-analysis which reviews many pieces of scientific literature has concluded that supplementation with cinnamon reduces blood sugar levels by approximately 19 mg/dL. It may not impact A1C or insulin levels. Pomegranate. New research shows that pomegranate seeds (and peel) can protect against diabetic nephropathy. Your kidneys are the filtration system for your body. When they don’t work well, toxins build up in your body and make you itch and lead to swollen feet and ankles, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, fatigue, confusion and poor appetite. You can eat pomegranate seeds easily, and maybe that’s all you need. As for pomegranate peel, this is commercially available as a purified, powdered item, however be careful because there are sometimes allergic reactions, similar to any fruit peel. Nutrients. People with diabetes often experience painful neuropathy all over their body, especially in their hands and feet. The pins and needles, and burning sensations are very difficult to treat. B vitamins help to form myelin, the protective coating on your nerves. New research was published in the February 2019 issue of Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications. This animal study suggests that Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is helpful in reducing visceral pain and painful limb sensations caused by neuropathy.

Social Security Opens Up New Online Portal For New Jersey Residents
By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – New Jersey residents will now have easier, quicker access to social security services with the Social Security Administration’s new portal. The Social Security portal can be found at socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. According to Nancy A. Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, residents can use the portal for Social Security number (SSN) card replacement requests from the comfort of their own home. “I’m pleased to offer the residents of New Jersey the added convenience of replacing a Social Security card through the my Social Security portal,” Acting Commissioner Berryhill said. “We will continue to work on innovative initiatives to provide people with safe, secure and convenient options for doing business with us online or in person.” Not only this, but current Social Security beneficiaries will be able to manage their account on the site as well; they can change an address, adjust direct deposit, obtain a benefit verification letter, or request a replacement SSA-1099. New Jersey and the District of Columbia are the first places to have this program available. The SSA plans to gradually roll out this service, expanding it to other states throughout 2019. According to the SSA, the portal will mean shorter wait times in the more than 1,200 Social Security offices across the country and more time for staff to work with customers who have extensive service needs. If you are a US citizen 18 years of age or older, and a resident of New Jersey, you

can request a replacement SSN card online through the portal by creating an account. You must have a US mailing address, not require a change to your record (such as a name change), and have a valid driver’s license or state identification card. Not to worry, the Social Security portal is a secure site for social security services! Almost 41 million people have already begun using their accounts. In addition to SSN card replacements, Medicare beneficiaries can use the portal to request a replacement Medicare card. Those still in the workforce can use the portal to verify their earnings history and obtain estimates of future benefits by looking at their Social Security Statement online. For more information on the service, visit socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber.

Inside The Law Let’s Start Holding Insurance Companies Responsible For Their Willingness To Delay, Deny And Defend By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Michael J. Deem, Esq, of R.C. Shea & Associates is a member of the New Jersey Association for Justice Board of Governors. NJAJ and R.C. Shea & Associates strongly support A-4293, a bill which protects insurance consumers from unreasonable delays in the payment or denials of legitimate claims. When someone buys an insurance policy, that person has a simple expectation - which is that the insurance provider will be there in their customer’s time of need. Too often, however, insurers seek to avoid paying claims in order to protect their bottom lines. We are very concerned about the rising trend of insurance companies acting in bad faith by unreasonably delaying or denying payment that is justly due. This is practice is unfair and wrong. Insurers should have their customers, not their shareholders be their highest priority. A-4293 recognizes this obvious injustice and remedies it by allowing those filing claims the first-party right to sue their insurance companies for bad faith if and when those companies fail to properly settle claims. Insurance companies have civil and criminal remedies available to hold people accountable if they commit insurance fraud. They have the Office of Insurance Fraud as an arm of state government to investigate and prosecute insurance fraud when the companies are victim. But, the honest consumer does not now have a remedy against an insurance company when a valid claim is denied or delayed. This bill levels the playing field so consumers are protected when they are the victim of insurance fraud. Whether it is for claims relating to declared disasters or automobile coverage that they are required by the State of New Jersey to purchase, the first-party right to sue levels the proverbial playing field. It allows consumers to hold powerful insurance companies accountable for delaying or denying just payment to their customers. Automobile insurance is perhaps the only

product that people are required to purchase but are then forced to seek permission in order to use it. Additionally, the provider of that insurance product is then permitted to tell the consumer that he or she cannot use a product that they have already purchased. A-4293 corrects this situation. This bill seeks recognition of that fact that insurance companies should be held to account when the fail to act in good faith. This is a simple expectation that every consumer has when they choose to do business with any company. The fact that auto insurance consumers are required by law to purchase this service and that they are putting the wellbeing of themselves and their loved one in the hands of the insurance companies only increases the stakes. In far too many cases, insurance companies delay, deny and defend claims. This dishonest practice forces their customers to fight for needed medical care, treatment for injuries or funds to repair damaged property. When an insurance company unjustly delays or denies the payment of legitimate claims, consumers must have the right to go to court. Presently, consumers in this state have no practical remedy if their insurance company unreasonably delays or refuses payment on a claim. Insurance customers are entitled to have their claims resolved in a fair and equitable manner without unreasonable delay; this is why they need the ability to seek redress when an insurance company acts in bad faith. We strongly encourage our readers to contact their Legislature and ask him/her to pass A-4293 which would provide much needed insurance consumer protection. R.C. Shea & Associates has form letters and e-mail available should you require assistance with your effort to contact your Legislature. Please do not hesitate to call us 732-505-1212.

St. George’s University, Jersey Shore University Medical Center Award Prestigious Medical School Scholarship to Interlaken Resident
NEW JERSEY - St. George’s University School of Medicine announced that it will award Interlaken resident Jake W. Schuler a 2019 CityDoctors scholarship on behalf of Hackensack Meridian Health Jersey Shore University Medical Center. “We’re excited to provide this scholarship to Jake,” said Dr. G. Richard Olds, President of St. George’s University. “It’s a priority for us at St. George’s to make medical school accessible and affordable to aspiring doctors from a variety of backgrounds who are intent on returning home to New Jersey to practice.” Schuler is the first recipient of a CityDoctors Scholarship through St. George’s partnership with Jersey Shore University Medical Center. The scholarship will cover four years of tuition. Priority consideration for the Jersey Shore University Medical Center City Doctors scholarship is given to applicants who are from Monmouth or Ocean County or are affiliated with the Jersey Shore University Medical Center. Veterans, those with demonstrated financial need, and those from groups
underrepresented in medicine also receive priority. “This new scholarship program allows us to grow our academic programs and help area residents, perhaps even the children of our team members, pursue their dreams of becoming doctors,” says David Kountz, M.D., MBA, FACP, vice president for Academic Affairs at Jersey Shore University Medical Center and co-chief academic officer of Hackensack Meridian Health. “We’re thrilled to support Jake’s journey. While there is no commitment for students like Jake to return to Jersey Shore University Medical Center for their residency, we are hopeful they will want to return ‘home’ when they complete their studies.” Other partners in the CityDoctors Scholarship Program include NYC Health + Hospitals and Hackensack University Medical Center. St. George’s is one of the leading providers of doctors to New Jersey – and the third-largest source of licensed physicians for the entire United States. In 2018, more than 110 St. George’s University graduates began post-graduate residencies in New Jersey.

OCC Foundation To Hold Annual Scholarship Celebration June 14
TOMS RIVER — The Ocean County College Foundation will hold its 2019 Scholarship Celebration on Friday, June 14, at 6:00 pm on the College’s Main Campus in Toms River. Scholarship Celebration proceeds benefit the mission of the OCC Foundation, a private non-profit organization celebrating more than 50 years of outstanding service. The Foundation is dedicated to the growth and development of the College through scholarships, endowments, and capital and special projects. Gale Wayman will be honored as Humanitarian of the Year and the H. Hovnanian Foundation will be recognized as Distinguished Organization of the Year. An endowment from philanthropist and entrepreneur Gale Wayman will establish the Gale Glendinning Wayman Fund in support of women’s education at OCC through offerings such as travel experiences, research projects, and conference attendance. Wayman received a master’s degree in International Politics and Security Studies from the University of Bradford in England, where she completed her dissertation on “The Importance of Female Education to the Development of a Civil Society.” This led Wayman to devote her energies to help educate women globally. Wayman is a longtime member of the OCC Foundation Board, assisting in the establishment of the College’s 100 Women mentoring and scholarship program, the Advisory Board of Women in Leadership and Learning at The College of New Jersey, the Ocean County Board of Displaced Homemakers Service, the Toms River Rotary Club, the Northern Ocean County American Association of University Women, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Ocean County. Recognizing the transformational impact of leadership development, mentorship, travel, and participation in curricular and co-curricular offerings, Wayman has made significant investments in the education of women. It is her intention that the Fund will continue her commitment to this endeavor. The H. Hovnanian Foundation has contributed to numerous special projects, supporting health care and education around the world. Last year, the Hirair and Anna Hovnanian Foundation gifted $3.75 million to the OCC Foundation for the naming of the new Health Sciences building, establishing scholarships for nursing and the health sciences while paving the way for new programming and exciting future opportunities here at OCC. The 47,000-square-foot H. Hovnanian Health Sciences Building was

dedicated in June 2018 and will ultimately serve as many as 600 to 800 students per day. Hirair Hovnanian, President and Founder of Hovsons, Inc., is a founding benefactor of the Armenian Assembly of America. Since his arrival to the U.S. on a freighter in 1951, Hovnanian has built one of the most successful privately held land and housing
development companies in the country. In recent years he has dedicated his time and efforts to the betterment of society and to the Armenian-American community. Anna Hovnanian, born Anna Hamparian, passed away last year. She was an artist who hoped to encourage and develop the artistic talent and higher education of Armenian youth.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of MAR 9 - MAR 15 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your burgeoning energy is best used to prepare for every contingency this week. A new start is right around the corner, but you might find it difficult to shrug off problems at home or with your career for a few days. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be feeling your oats as this week unfolds. You can use your extra energy to impress your partner or to take constructive actions. Use good judgment to handle the most difficult tasks with ease. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Concentrate. You might spend too much time dealing with avoidable interruptions. Your high energy levels in the week ahead could attract admirers who may mistake warmth and simple kindness for romantic ardor. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may play second fiddle to someone with insatiable ambitions as this week unfolds. Conversations and negotiations are subject to misinterpretation so get things in writing or hold off until next week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you keep your promises your promise will be fulfilled. In the upcoming week you may have a chance to prove that you are loyal and true blue. Your best bet is to focus on joint finances and long-term fiscal security. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Work behind the scenes and stay out of the spotlight. Concentrate your energies on making those in the family circle happy as this week unfolds. Put effort into building a firm foundation that can stand the test of time.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the week ahead, you may have an opportunity to prove that you are loyal to your employer, co-workers or company. Don’t be distracted by an attractive acquaintance or give in to a restless desire for adventure. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may be energized and have great business sense when working on group projects. However, you might spend too much money on coffee and snacks and fritter away your pennies. Focus on thrift this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Too much flirting can cause some hurting in the week ahead. Focus on your work and don’t be distracted by the potential for romantic dalliances. You might be blind to the pitfalls of an investment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Things might not be what they seem. Don’t be tempted by a dangling carrot. Someone could play to your greed or ambitions and trick you into doing something you shouldn’t do in the upcoming week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Remain focused. Pursue career and business objectives with dogged determination in the week to come and you can overcome every obstacle. Don’t be distracted by sudden shifts of opinion or upsets. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A solid reputation may become even more concrete in the upcoming week. You might find that your home is the stage for numerous social interactions or that your career goals are affected by a peer review.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Pork: The Easy, Inexpensive, Elegant Meat By Wolfgang Puck SAUTEED PORK MEDALLIONS WITH RIESLING-MARINATED GRAPES Serves 4 1/2 pound (500 g) seedless grapes, stemmed 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) Johannisberg Riesling 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut crosswise into 8 medallions about 1/2 inch (12-mm) thick Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper All-purpose flour, for dusting 5 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) good-quality canned chicken stock or broth 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley The night before, put the grapes in a nonreactive mixing bowl. Pour the riesling over the grapes, cover the bowl, and refrigerate overnight. Before you begin cooking, drain the grapes and set aside 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the wine. Season the pork medallions lightly, but evenly, on both sides with the salt and pepper. Dust both sides very lightly with flour. Over medium-high heat, preheat a heavy saute pan large enough to hold the medallions in a single layer. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. Place the me-
dallions in the pan, and saute until they’re golden brown on both sides, turning them once, 3 to 4 minutes per side; they should still be slightly pink inside if you cut into one with a small, sharp knife. With tongs, immediately transfer the medallions to a heated platter, cover with foil and keep warm. Pour off excess fat from the pan. Return the pan to medium-high heat, add the reserved 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the wine, and stir and scrape with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan deposits. Continue boiling the water until it has reduced by about a third. Pour in the stock or broth, bring to a boil, and continue boiling until the liquid has thickened slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Then, while whisking continuously, add 2 tablespoons of the butter a little bit at a time to form a sauce with a creamy consistency thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Set aside and keep warm. In a separate saucepan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat. Add the drained grapes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have heated through. Drain off any liquid that has accumulated in the pan and then add the grapes to the hot sauce. Transfer two pork medallions to each heated serving plate. Spoon the sauce and grapes over the pork, and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
