Community News!
By Kimberly Bosco MANCHESTER – Manchester Township and the Borough of Lakehurst have each received grants from the New Jersey Department of Transportation to improve local roadways and bridges. Manchester will receive $319,163 for improvements to Schoolhouse Road and Lake-
hurst will receive $187,692 for improvements to Willow Street. The state’s Municipal Aid “Commitment to Communities” program will dole out a total of $161.25 million to 537 towns. The program provides grants for roadway preservation, roadway safety, quality of life, mobility, bikeway, pedestrian safety, and
bridge preservation projects. “Supporting New Jersey’s communities through funding for infrastructure maintenance and renewal is a core component of good government, and stands at the top of this administration’s priorities,” said Governor Phil Murphy in (Grants - See Page 4)

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – A not her tow nsh ip park is getting some much-needed improvements. The township will next provide a facelift to Bowker Field, between Manchester Boulevard and School Lane in Whiting. Maser Consulting laid out its plans for the park at the township council’s March 25 meeting. The plan calls for a new playground with a rubber safety surface. The park will also get new basketball and tennis courts, wh ich w il l i nclude pickleball markings. Residents and guests will get to enjoy a paved nature trail, and a stamped-concrete sidewalk that will lead to the park’s veterans (Field - See Page 4)

How Will Minimum Wage Increases Affect Taxes?
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Workers in New Jersey will eventually be making $15 an hour, but how will this affect municipal taxes in towns that employ people making minimum wage?
T he Ne w Je r s e y Leag ue of Mu n icipalities opposed the legislation because it impacted towns, which have to operate within a 2 percent cap on raising taxes. They worried that it would put towns in a difficult position:
either raise fees or reduce services. Michael F. Cerra, assistant executive director of the league, said that municipal officials have been talking about reducing or eliminating services or reducing seasonal hires. They

are more likely to increase fees than taxes. “Raising property taxes is always the last, worse option,” he said. This is the case in Lacey, where fees for programs will go up rather than taxes, business administrator Veronica
Laureigh said. The minimum wage increase would apply to the seasonal rate employees, she said. Full time staff is already paid more than minimum wage, so they would not be affected. A laborer starts at
$19.14 and clerical staff starts at $18.95. To address the increase to seasonal pay, the township plans on increasing such things as summer camp regist ration and beach badge fees. (Taxes - See Page 5)

The total anticipated cost for the project is $346,600. The township expects to receive a Green Acres grant, which will fund 25 percent of the project’s cost. The Green Acres program, operated through the state’s Department of Environmental Protection, offers loans and grants to local and county governments to purchase open and space and develop outdoor recreational areas. According to the state, more than 650,000 acres have

been protected or developed into recreation sites since the program was started in 1961. Bowker Field was constructed in the 1930s, but wasn’t always called that. In 1945, the park was named for Raymond Bowker, a local resident and soldier killed in the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. The park was last renovated over 20 years ago in 1998, when “additional facilities” were added, according to township officials. Bowker Field has two softball fields, tennis and basketball courts, a bocce ball court, and large playground with picnic tables. Off-street parking is available.

miles. Out of this share, local towns compete for funds from their county’s share. “Working directly with municipalities to update the main lines of transportation that run through our towns and cities will have a positive daily impact on people,” said Lieutenant Governor Sheila Oliver, who also serves as com missioner of the Depar tment of Community Affairs. “Residents want to see their Transportation Trust Fund dollars at work in their communities and this grant program will help to make infrastructure improvements become a reality statewide.”

“The increased program costs will cover the increased salaries. Those that use the program will offset the increase versus the property tax increase,” she said. In Toms River, the cost for the increase is estimated to be about $535,000 annually by the time it is fully implemented, business administrator Don Guardian said. Additionally, there might be other pay increases that have to be negotiated with employees that have tenure and are in the $15 to $18 hourly range. Examples of workers who will be affected include beach cleaners, skating rink staff, and camp employees. “A township doesn’t sell cheeseburgers so we can’t simply raise the price of a burger by a $1 to make up,” he said. “I think you’ll see a slight reduction in the number of staff, additional fees for use of township property and hopefully some state funding to assist municipalities since (the state) created the additional costs. At this point in time any increase in property tax to fund the differential is not being considered.” For Manchester, the full time workers are already making more than what the mark-up will be this year, business administrator Donna Markulic said. For seasonal workers, there will be an increase of about $15,000 this year. However, when the minimum wage continues to increase, the town will have to also pay workers who have earned raises in the past so that they don’t wind up making the same as a new hire. “This will definitely cause a ripple effect,” Markulic said. “Our salary ordinances will The General’s
provided the same minimum wage rate as the general minimum wage rate in 2028.” Farm laborers would have yet another rate: “the rate will be increased to $10.30 on January 1, 2020, $10.90 on January 1, 2022, and increased by eighty cents in 2023, and eighty cents in 2024 so that the rate will be $12.50.” At this time, the commissioner and the Secretary of Agriculture would evaluate to see if more increases are warranted. For workers who are tipped, employers will receive credit for tips against the hourly minimum wage rate the employer pays, as follows: “from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, $6.72; after June 30, 2019 and before January 1, 2020, $7.37; during 2020, 2021 and 2022, $7.87; during 2023, $8.87; and during 2024 and subsequent years, $9.87.”
be revisited as these costs escalate,” she said. What Will The Increases Look Like? The language of the bill is as follows: “The bill provides that, except for certain workers specified by the bill, the general minimum wage rate will be increased to $10 per hour on July 1, 2019, to $11 per hour on January 1, 2020, followed by $1 increases each year until the rate reaches a level of $15.00 per hour in 2024.” Employers with less than six employees, or seasonal non-tipped employees, would have this instead: “The minimum wage rate will be increased to $10.30 per hour on January 1, 2020, and then increased each year from 2021 to 2025 by eighty cents, and then increased in 2026 by seventy cents so that it reaches a level of $15 per hour in 2026, followed by further increases from 2027 to 2028 as needed to have these employees

need to be reviewed and each position will need to be adjusted and raised especially if it is not an entry level position. At this juncture we do not believe it will impact our tax rate significantly, but more review is warranted.” Originally, the law wasn’t going to impact employees. Brick business administrator Joanne Bergin said that the issue there would have been trying to fill these jobs when people could get better paying jobs elsewhere. Brick had considered increasing salaries to bring in and retain workers. When the state law changed to include towns, it gave municipalities guidelines on how to increase the salaries. Brick officials estimated what the impact would be to the township. This would add $24,005 this year, increasing to $73,913 in 2024. This is just an estimate, though, and only based on the number of positions. It doesn’t include extra pay that’s given for supervisors or for people who are returning for the summer. Most of their seasonal employees are summer hires, such as camp counselors, lifeguards, and badge checkers, she said. “We have modified our budget accordingly with the new legislation, but that amount doesn’t necessarily amount to one that will be the direct result of increased taxes,” she said. “We are always in the process of looking at costs we cannot change and accommodating that and also reducing where we can to keep our budget fiscally stable.” Prior to the minimum wage law, the Township Council increased beach fees from $5 to $8 a day. (Seasonal prices - $25 until June 15 and $30 after - didn’t change.) “At this time, we do not intend to further increase fees. But I could not say if that might

10th District: No $10 Million To Bail Out City Of Trenton CAPITOL COMMENTS 10th Legislative District Senator Jim Holzapfel • Assemblyman Greg McGuckin • Assemblyman Dave Wolfe
TRENTON – On March 25, t he St at e Se n at e passed S-3587, a bill that would establish the Trenton Capital City Aid Program and provide at least $10 million in each State f iscal yea r to the Cit y of Trenton. Senator Jim
Holzapfel voted “NO” on the proposed legislation, and the companion bill A-5210 is headed to the General Assembly where Assemblymen Greg McGuckin and Dave Wolfe of the 10th District plan to oppose the bill and speak
out aga i n st t he u n fa i r proposal. “While our school districts are being forced to lay off hard working teachers and cut school programs for students, the Democrats are fast tracking this bill to send $10 million a year to Trenton amidst a budget crisis,” said Senator Holzapfel. “The public has a right to know that their tax dollars are being redirected to Trenton instead of properly educating our children, fixing our roadways or helping to lower property taxes.”
School districts within the 10th Legislative District will lose over $5.5 million in State aid next. The biggest cuts will come at the expense of the Brick and Toms River school districts, which will lose more than $2.7 million each. “I hope that my colleagues across the aisle realize these political games that come at the expense of our children’s education, our infrastructure and our resident’s livelihoods,” added Assemblyman McGuckin. “Misallocation of State
funds are now costing people their jobs and their family’s security. This legislation is an insult to our taxpayers.” According to the bill, the Trenton Capital City Aid Program will receive $10 million each year to the City of Trenton to be used solely and exclusively by the city for the purpose of reducing the amount the city is required to raise through the property tax levy for municipal purposes. Any additional funds received through the pro-
gram that exceed Trenton’s required property tax levy are all allocated to the Trenton School District. “The state’s broken school funding formula has gutted our local school districts while urban areas, who already receive enormous amount of aid, continue to get special treatment from Democrats,” stated Assemblyman Wolfe. “Instead of fast-tracking $10 million to the City of Trenton, we need to help school districts who have had their funding cut unfairly.”

currently a dangerous traffic situation along County Route 539 which traverses Fort Dix. “The intersection of County Route 539 with a Fort Dix roadway is an unsustainable traffic hazard where civilian traffic and military convoys cross a busy public intersection during routine military exercises,” Smith said. “This situation is dangerous for all involved, highly inconvenient for both local residents and servicemembers at the base, and could easily be solved by constructing an overpass to facilitate smooth, unobstructed civilian and military traffic flow in both directions,” Smith said. “I will continue fight-
ing to see that this vital project - as well as other infrastructure projects around the country - can move ahead with proper funding.” Smith has been working with Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, officials from Ocean County, and the Defense Enhancement Coalition on this project. Smith voted for the legislation - the FY 2019 National Defense Authorization Act - that created the DCIP. In their letter, Reps. Smith and Heck are asking that DCIP now be federally funded at the authorized level of $100 million so that communities and the Department of Defense can partner in pro-
viding better infrastructure around federal bases. “This program funding can go to a variety of infrastructure projects includ i ng t r a n spor t at ion developments,” the letter from Reps. Smith and Heck stated. “This will reduce traffic congestion around military bases and help ensure our servicemembers aren’t stuck outside the wire in a traffic jam and allow our communities to provide alternative methods for accessing base facilities. By investing in road infrastructure that goes through and around our bases, this program will make our communities safer, while enhancing readiness.”

Police Emphasize Special Needs Awareness
MANCHESTER – April is Autism Awareness Month and Manchester Police are highlighting the recently established Manchester Township Police Department voluntary Special Needs Information database. This database was created with the goal of better serving residents while responding to calls involving individuals with special needs by providing the department with emergency contact information (home address, telephone numbers), as well as specific characteristics with regard to individuals with special needs (i.e., non-verbal, sensory, medical, likes and dislikes). A photograph of the individual is also requested. “Our Officers are trained to recognize how certain circumstances may be distressing to an individual with special needs. By knowing who in our community requires a special response and having that information readily available in our computer aided dispatch
system, our Officers will respond appropriately,” said Chief Lisa Parker. “For example, we may know that an individual self-soothes by holding a certain benign object. With that information in mind before arriving at a call, Officers will know that the individual does not have a weapon in hand and proceed to provide the necessary assistance in a safe and caring manner.” The completion of this form is entirely voluntary. Anyone who chooses to provide the information requested is not obligated to disclose medical information. Visit the web site at: manchesterpolicenj. com/special-needs-information/ to complete the form and upload a photograph. Alternatively, the completed form and photograph may be returned to our agency through mail: 1 Colonial Drive, Manchester, NJ 08759 or sent through e-mail to specialneeds@ manchestertwp.com.

killed in distracted driving crashes and an estimated 391,000 people were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver.” In New Jersey, driver inattention was listed as a contributing circumstance in 52 percent of the state’s crashes in 2015. Driver inattention was in fact listed as a contributing factor in crashes at a rate nine times higher than that of the next highest contributing factor (speed). The campaign is being carried out during the month of April, which the National Safety Council has designated as Distracted Driving Awareness Month. The New Jersey campaign is modeled after similar successful high visibility enforcement programs such as Click It or Ticket and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.

9 Tips To Help Detect Hearing Loss
It is often hard to recognize hearing loss. Simply put, it can be sneaky. As someone who experiences hearing loss, you have an advantage in helping loved ones recognize it in themselves. Here are some signs that can help you start the conversation… • Balance Blues. Are they less sure footed than they once were? The inner ear is important to both hearing and stability – the cause of a balance problem could be affecting their hearing as well. • The Lean. Do they consistently lean into the conversations on the same side? They could have greater hearing loss on one side, causing them to attempt to use their “good ear.” “ • Library, Anyone?” Are they not doing some of the things that make them happy? With a hearing loss, it’s difficult to hear in public places with lots of background sounds – they could be avoiding noisy areas altogether. • Lots of laughter. Are they laughing more often? It might not mean you’ve hit your comedic stride. If they can’t hear what’s going on they might be responding inappropriately to social cues to feel
more engaged. • Odd Responses. Do their replies seem out of place or not make sense? It might not be because they’re distracted – they might not be able to follow the conversation. • Isolation. Are they begging off social situations entirely, even at home? It can be difficult to admit to hearing loss, which can lead to social anxiety. • The Blame Game. Are they blaming misunderstandings on noises or other people? Rather than admit to hearing loss, sometimes it’s easier to act like outside factors are the issue. • What?” Do you feel like you’re repeating yourself more often? Maybe you are mumbling sometimes- but odds are their hearing loss is the problem. • Turning up the Volume. This is self explanatory: If your family member or friend can’t hear, they are going to adjust devices so they can. If more than a couple of these hit home, consider starting that conversation with your loved one. We’d be glad to give them a complimentary consultation.

Calendula Soothes Reflux And Skin Problems
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
In spring, we all like to hike and play outdoors. Getting bumped and bruised is more apt to occur as well. A natural remedy for this is calendula, and it’s sold in health food stores nationwide. Calendula oil is a natural oil extracted from flowers, specific ally the marigold flowers, also known as Calendula officinalis. Calendula oil has some antifungal, anti-inf lammatory, and antimicrobial properties. This makes it great for topical use, especially for minor cuts, wounds and skin rashes. More specifically, calendula creams can be used to help cradle cap, diaper rash, eczema, poison ivy and allergic rashes. Not too long ago, a friend of mine fell off her horse. She had some minor aches and pains, and her skin was broken. I recommended the calendula cream and reassured her this herbal remedy had been used for centuries. My friend used the cream on her bruises and scrapes and within several days she was as good as new. If you are creating a first-aid cabinet, I highly recommend you include Calendula. Put it next to your hydrocortisone and tea tree oil. There was a study in October 2018, published in the Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care. This study evaluated calendula ointment on cesarean wound healing. The trial evaluated 72 women and they concluded that “using calendula ointment considerably increases the speed of cesarean wound healing.”
There was a more recent study in February 2019 that evaluated calendula for patients who had suffered from dermatitis associated with their radiation. This is pretty common, up to 95 percent of patients develop radiation-related skin pain. Calendula appears to be a viable option and should be considered as an adjunct to pharmaceutical skin treatments. I think calendula would make for a fantastic tea. I make it myself all the time at home, using locally grown flowers. The marigold flowers are beautiful orange, and they’re dried. You just steep them in water for about 10 minutes, and add honey if desired. Calendula is a type of marigold. Not all marigold flowers can be ingested so if you make the tea, make sure you buy the dried flowers that are consumable, and buy them from a reputable source. One reason you might consider calendula as a tea, or dietary supplement is if you have ulcerative colitis. There is reason to believe this may be soothing to the intestinal tract and it’s been studied for this very condition. It might be one of the most healing herbs to consider if you have gastritis or reflux, but of course ask your practitioner if it’s right for you. Some people are allergic to flowers in the marigold family, in which case calendula should be avoided. In avoid calendula if you are allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums or daisies due to potential reactions. Please consult with your doctor about taking any herb orally, including calendula, if you take blood thinners.

Robert C. Shea Esq.

Today’s world is filled with scams. It’s becoming harder and harder to trust anyone. A new assault on victims is in the for m of L ot t e r y a nd Swe e p st a ke scams. These scams are becoming more and more common. They may come to you from social media, phone calls, mailings, e-mail and text messages-all saying that you have won money or pr i zes. T he sca m mer s may even try to impersonate public figures, police, FBI, Lottery and Officials. To make matters worse, they have also mastered the art of cloning otherwise legitimate web sites and social media profiles. So how do you know if your winnings are legitimate? Scammers like to ask for up-front payment, such as taxes, processing fe e s, del ive r y fe e s, legal fe e s or customer fees to collect your “winnings.” Any payment requested in advance should be a red f lag! The most common up-front payment request is a monetary transfer, because these are like cash. Other up-front payment schemes that are becoming popular include prepaid cards and iTunes gift cards because the scammers can access your balance if you give them the number from the back of the card or a PIN over the phone. Scammers may also ask that you send cash in the mail. Once you give them cash they are li kely to a sk for more a nd more. One trick the scammers use to entice
victims to send more Michael J.

Some victims are asked to deposit fake checks and if that check bounces the victim will be responsible for the bounced check fee.

Dear Joel, I love gardening and take great pride in my yard. It’s a peaceful time and I look forward to working in the yard, but I have a neighbor who thinks she is a judge in the county fair. She has plenty of gardening tips and is always telling me what I should do and what I’m doing wrong. One time she even came over and pulled my weeds when I was out. Please help me from digging a hole and pushing her in it? Weeded Out in Toms River
in the garden. They describe it as a spiritual experience, being around nature and watching living things grow leaf by leaf and inch by inch. It’s their time away from the stresses and interruptions of the day. I would tell your neighbor that you appreciate her advice, but that you really want to figure things out on your own. Tell her you don’t care about having the biggest and the best garden; you just want to learn from every experience.
Dear Weeded, What a shame. I don’t have a green thumb, but I have several friends who are serious gardeners and they tell me how much they enjoy their time alone

Did Recreational Marijuana Hurt Other Marijuana Bills?
By Chris Lundy TRENTON – The vote for recreational, or “adult use” marijuana has taken center stage but the medicinal marijuana movement and expungement of records might have been hamstrung by it. A vote was planned for a package of bills that would legalize adult use marijuana, expunge records of people charged with possession of up to 5 pounds, and expand medicinal marijuana use. However, when Democrat leaders were trying to find out how much support there was, they came up short on definite “yes” votes. Senate President Steve Sweeney said during a press conference that they decided not to put it up to vote because it would be defeated. So instead they pushed “pause” on it, so they can work to get more support so they know it will pass. He also noted that if it was on the ballot in November, it wouldn’t do well because it’s not a presidential election and not as many people would vote. However, some people feel that by tying expungement and medical marijuana to the recreational one, it stopped two common sense bills from progressing. The family of Jake “The Tank” Honig put out a video plea to lawmakers to separate the medicinal marijuana expansion from the recreational. Jake, 7, passed away last year after five years of dealing with cancer. “The only medication he was on was medical marijuana,” his father Mike said. When he was on it, it alleviated all of his symptoms. But the state only allows 2 ounces for someone his age. “Somehow medical marijuana got all tied in with recreational. And because of that, we’re putting patients in New Jersey behind pleasure seekers. We’re putting our own personal agenda ahead of the terminally ill child. We ask that you untie medical marijuana from recreational…Everybody can agree, that a patient, especially a child, deserves the medication they need to be comfortable,” he said. The bill is called the Jake Honig Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act. Another bill is expungement, which would help people who have minor offenses have a more productive future. Sen. Robert Singer (R-30 th) told a group at an affordable housing assembly in La kewood recently t hat “ too ma ny young lives have been ruined for having a small amount of marijuana.” Even if the legislature is torn on recreational marijuana, they should still move forward with the expungement of people’s record, he said. Then, revisit recreational marijuana when there’s more consensus. State Democrats declined to make a

specific reply to requests for comment, but at the same press conference that Sweeney spoke at, there were also several other decision makers including Gov. Phil Mur phy and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin.
When a reporter asked if the bills could be separated, Murphy said it needed to be a full package. If you just decriminalize it, it’s just in hands of bad guys, if you just expunge records, you still get 600 arrests a week of low-grade mari-
juana charges. “I know we’re doing the right thing by legalizing adult use mar ijuana,” Sweeney said. “Too many people are being arrested. Too many people are not getting justice.”

ONE-STOP SHOPPING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING INFO
By Chris Lundy LAKEWOOD – An assembly of civic leaders, bankers, and developers met recently to work toward dismantling roadblocks to affordable housing. Mike McNeil, as the NAACP’s housing committee chair for the state, hosted the event held at the Lakewood Municipal Building. There are a lot of people working toward getting people into homes, and they were all under one roof. They gave short statements and then met afterward in a room where people could find out more about their programs. The process to apply for affordable housing can be daunting, McNeil said. Some people give up because the process is so difficult. Or, they think they won’t qualify so they don’t bother. Other times, they wait until the housing is already built; by that time it’s too late. The goal is to educate people in need how to navigate the process, he said. The other part is to educate decision makers about the need for affordable housing. What is affordable to some might not be affordable to others. The state defines an affordable home as one that can be afforded by someone making much less than what the median income is in a region. Monmouth, Ocean and Mercer counties are in the same region, which puts the median income for a one-person home at $69,447. Low income would be someone making $34,723, according to documents provided at the assembly.
Affordable housing is a phrase that often makes local politicians curse under their breath, as some feel state regulations have taken away home rule and led to increased traffic, school taxes, costly lawsuits, and environmental impacts. The speakers gave a different take on it. They said access to affordable housing is one of the most significant civil rights issues today. Everyone deserves to live in a safe neighborhood. Rachel Wainer Apter, director of the New Jersey Division of Civil Rights, explained some of the methods that are used to tell people that they can’t live a certain place. They include a landlord steering you away from certain neighborhoods, or a bank providing different lending terms based on race. She shared a hotline for people who have experienced discrimination in housing: 866-405-3050. Not only did people speak about creating more homes, but to keep homes affordable once an area begins to gentrify. Jersey City Councilwoman Joyce Watterman explained how her city has been growing, and as it grows, it’s pushing out people who have lived there a long time. Reva Foster, chair of the New Jersey Black Issues Convention, spoke about pages and pages of sheriff’s sales in newspapers, indicative of people being unable to afford to live in their homes any more. “Local officials decide who can live where based on income,” said Kevin Walsh. He’s
the executive director of the Fair Share Housing Center, a non-profit created to “end discriminatory or exclusionary housing patterns which have deprived the poor, particularly those presently living in inner cities, of the opportunity to reside in an environment which offers safe, decent, and sanitary housing near employment and educational opportunities.” Their history stems from a lawsuit in which the town of Mt. Laurel was accused of zoning in such a way that only rich people could afford to live there. As a result of the litigation, every town in New Jersey has to provide a certain portion of affordable homes. There’s a mentality of ‘my children benefitted from a school, but we don’t want more kids in school,’ or ‘I just moved here, but no one else should move here because they bring traffic,’ he said. “They exclude on race even if they don’t realize it.” This sentiment was echoed by Connie Pascale, a long-term advocate for underprivileged people. “The racism that caused these problems are still there, either in the law or in their hearts,” he said. Adam Gordon, with the Fair Share Housing Center, said they have been working with the state to get a central website for all affordable housing locations so that people looking for them can find them more easily. Channell Wilkins, CEO of Ocean, Inc. said that it costs more for them to build an affordable unit than for a developer to build a market rate unit. He urged local politi-
cians to extend the same breaks that other developers get to those making affordable units, such as PILOT programs (when a developer gets a tax break for several years). Representatives came from many organizations, such as Habitat for Humanity, the Red Bank Affordable Housing Corporation, and various banks and developers, as well as people looking for more information about housing. The head of the Lakewood Housing Authority spoke about helping people move out of public housing, and the National Association of Real Estate Brokers talked about providing people with assistance for down payments and to prevent foreclosure. Sen. Robert Singer (R-30th) told the group assembled that government has a moral obligation to make sure people have a safe place to live. Especially in an expensive state like New Jersey. “You’re not judged by how you take care of the rich but how you take care of the poor,” he said, noting that Lakewood has always been good about giving land and giving breaks to people who want to live in the community. Superior Court Judge James W. Palmer Jr. said that when he hears landlord-tenant matters, he always makes sure the evicted have some place to go. “I think we are beginning to make a difference in Ocean County,” he said of the collective efforts of everyone involved.

Law Enforcement Address “Culture Of Fear”
By Patricia A. Miller LAKEWOOD - A new state directive aimed at strengthening trust between immigrants and law enforcement officers will go into effect in mid - March, New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said at a seminar here Tuesday night. “There exists today a culture of fear,” Grewal said at the meeting, which detailed how the new “Immigrant Trust Directive” will impact both immigrants and police. “Crimes go unreported and justice goes unserved. We don’t want people to fear the badge.” But anyone found guilty of a crime in the state will pay the price, he said. “If you commit a crime in New Jersey, regardless of your immigration status, you will still go to jail,” Grewal said. “We will still work with ICE Immigration and Customs Enforcement.” The seminar organized by Grewal and Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer, was held in the auditorium of Lakewood High School. It was sparsely attended, with about one hundred audience members. No one will be stopped by law enforcement officers based on their race or immigration status, Grewal said. “It’s going to take a long time to build trust,” he said. “But we are committed to do this.” The directive also limits types of voluntary assistance that the state’s law enforcement officers can provide to federal immigration authorities. It applies to police officers, correctional officers and prosecutors.

“This is a really important subject here in Lakewood,” a man who identified himself as a member of the Lakewood NAACP. “If you get stopped by police....the fear is there already.” Grewal told the story of two young men prosecuted in Bergen County who will now spend much of their adult lives in state prison because of their involvement in bias crimes, including pelting a Lodi synagogue with firebombs back in 2012. The rabbi and his family escaped without harm. One of the men’s goals was “to burn that synagogue down,” Grewal said. Each of the men will spend decades in jail for their crimes. The Facebook page “Rise Up Ocean County” was also mentioned by a number of audience speakers during the public session. One man told Grewal that the Rise Up Ocean County preaches a “cauldron of hatred” and “tiptoes up to the line of blatant anti-Semitism.” He proceeded to read a number of posts he said he found of the site. Grewal said he could not address specific incidents. But he did say there are plenty of ways concerns can be addressed. Bias incidents and hate crimes can be reported to local police, the county prosecutor’s office, the office of Homeland Security or the Attorney General’s office. Reports can be made anonymously. New Jersey has nine protected classes. They include race, color, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin and ethnicity.

OCVTS Announces New Acting Superintendent
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – Following the sudden and unfortunate passing of Ocean County Vocational Technical School’s longtime superintendent William P. Hoey, Jr., OCVTS has announced Mrs. Karen Homiek as Acting Superintendent. Homiek got her start at OCVTS back in 1997 as an instructor at the OCVTS Enrichment Center, an alternative high school setting for at risk students where she was named Dean of Students. From there, she became an OCVTS Adult Education Evening School Supervisor and later Principal of the Jackson Center. Homiek also lead the Lakehurst Center as the Principal of the Performing Arts Academy (PAA), the Audio Recording and Aviation share time programs, and the full time culinary program housed on campus. “Under her leadership, the Performing Arts Academy has developed into a top performance learning facility, currently in the top 93% in public school rankings, as well as earning the Blue Ribbon School of Excellence status by the US Department of Education,” read a press release from OCVTS. “Mrs. Homiek has been instrumental in the development of a partnership with Ocean County College, creating a pathway for PAA students to earn an Associate’s Degree along with their high school diploma.” The Performing Arts Academy will be relocating to a new state-of-the-art facility on the campus of Ocean County College in early 2020. With a Master’s of Education from Seton Hall University and a Masters of Arts degree in Education Leadership from New Jersey City University, Homiek is well-prepared for her new leadership role. Homiek stated: “Creating an individual education philosophy truly makes one consider what nutrients are essential to helping today’s children, our future, to flourish as good citizens, ignite a passion

for learning and help them actualize their potentials. My career in education began after working in industry and staying at home raising my own children for a number of years. These experiences, along with my classroom principles and administrative practices have helped me establish those education ideologies that I believe, as a district leader, are critical to individual student development, career readiness, and academic growth. “It is the role of the district leader to create a school climate that emanates safety, acceptance, and promotes learning. Through leading by example, demonstrating integrity and making good decisions, one has the ability to revolutionize an entire school community and enrich the learning experience. I am excited to be in the position to strengthen student achievement and outcomes based on industry driven instruction and curriculum. Career and Technical Education empowers students with the experience, academia, and 21st Century skills necessary to succeed in a global landscape of connectivity. I am blessed and honored to be part of this dynamic district.”

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of APR 13 - APR 19 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Never plan a picnic when storm clouds loom on the horizon. In the upcoming week you would be wise to put key projects and plans on the back burner. Authority figures may not tolerate mistakes or missed deadlines. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Conquer conflicts by asking for clarifications. In the week to come you might find that your work is filled with confusing or questionable guidelines. You may easily make mistakes if the instructions are misleading. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It is fun to dream unless you dream of falling. You are wise enough to know that some ideas and fears are not realistic. A downturn isn’t permanent so don’t panic in the upcoming week and sell off investments. CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the week ahead, you may feel there is no choice but to abandon one of your dreams. You may yield when conflicts arise rather than stand your ground. Your circle of friends will restore your confidence levels. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You crave the ability to control circumstances. Those who hold the reins of power are not ready to give you the green light to go ahead with a pet project. Be patient as this week unfolds and steer clear of power struggles. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Money changes everything. In the week ahead your desire to live the dream and own the best of everything could have long-term consequences. Avoid making
major purchases and taking on additional debt. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Focus on high efficiency and be conscientious about following the rules. Someone will probably rain on your parade if you attempt to begin something new. Family squabbles could plague you in the week ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This isn’t a good week to follow a friend’s advice or to go along with the crowd. Don’t consider it to be a personal affront if someone has a differing viewpoint than you do. Agree to disagree and move on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You might overlook the details in the week ahead, but the details won’t overlook you. Being inaccurate can cost you money or put a damper on your income. Don’t take risks or sign financial agreements. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are willing to go the extra mile to stay on top of your obligations, but this could take a toll on your temper. In the upcoming week get plenty of rest and regular meals so you can better deal with frustrations. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t meddle in other people’s disputes as your assistance may cause more harm than good. Make the most of your spare time in the week ahead. Loved ones may be completely absorbed by their responsibilities. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The best offense is a good defense. Resist the temptation to make drastic moves in the upcoming week since you will achieve much more by biding your time. Look for valuable knowledge from unlikely sources.

Alzheimer’s Disease and Physical Therapy By: Elise Pavlick, DPT
WHAT IS ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE? Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting one in eight Americans over the age of 65. Dementia is a general term for a variety of conditions that develop as a result of malfunctioning nerve cells in the brain. Research has shown that individuals with Alzheimer’s disease tend to develop abnormal structures in the brain, called plaques and tangles, that block communication between nerve cells in the brain and body. Plaques build up in the spaces in between nerve cells, and consist of a protein called betaamyloid. Tangles are described as a collection of twisted fibers made from a different protein, called tau, that develop inside nerve cells rather than in between them. Because the nerve cells are unable to work properly, individuals can experience a variety of cognitive, behavioral, and physical symptoms. Alzheimer’s disease is progressive, meaning that is worsens over time, and although there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, medication and physical activity can be helpful in slowing its progression. WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS? The most common symptom of early-stage Alzheimer’s disease is difficulty remembering newly learned information. As we age, it is common to experience occasional memory loss or slowed thinking; however, serious memory difficulties and confusion are signs that the brain is not working exactly as it should. As the disease progresses, individuals tend to experience mood and behavior changes, increased confusion about time and place, disorientation, and difficulty responding to the demands in their environment. Physical symptoms accompany cognitive changes, particularly muscle disuse, difficulty walking, negotiating turns and obstacles, and loss of balance. HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP? The physical symptoms mentioned above ultimately increase an individual’s risk of falling, which can possibly lead to serious injury. Research has shown the importance of physical activity for overall well-being. During a physical therapy evaluation, a licensed physical
therapist evaluates various components of the body in order to determine impairments that may be contributing to a patient’s symptoms. From there, an individualized exercise program is created to meet the specific needs of each patient. A supervised exercise program, with the goal of increasing muscle strength and improving balance, will ultimately lead to improved safety awareness and decrease a patient’s fall risk. The following are important aspects that are addressed in each exercise program, as deemed appropriate by a physical therapist: STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY As Alzheimer’s disease progresses, individuals tend to become more sedentary, which leads to muscles becoming weak and tight. This is predominantly true for the muscles of the hips and legs. The lower extremity muscles are very important for standing and walking, so as they become weak, it becomes particularly difficult to perform daily tasks and ambulate, or walk around. Physical therapy can help break this cycle by developing a safe strengthening and flexibility program to improve muscle performance. As an individual’s strength starts to improve, exercises may be altered or advanced to further maximize strength gains. GAIT TRAINING In addition to developing an exercise program, a physical therapist will evaluate and determine the most appropriate assistive device for each patient in order to provide safe ambulation. The most common assistive devices are rolling walkers, single point canes, and quad canes. The physical therapist will educate and train the patient on how to correctly use his/her assistive device during ambulation. If unsafe ambulation is identified during the initial evaluation, subsequent treatment sessions will consist of gait training, in order to maximize safety awareness. As quality of gait improves, the patient will be challenged to negotiate obstacles and ambulate on various surfaces, in order to simulate real life situations. Continued practice will eventually lead to improved safety awareness during community ambulation and while performing daily tasks. BALANCE Along with safe ambulation, balance is by far one of the
most important aspects of minimizing an individual’s fall risk. Balance can be divided into two components: static and dynamic. Static balance refers to an individual’s ability to maintain balance while in a still position, whether that be while seated or standing. Dynamic balance refers to maintaining balance while moving. Both static and dynamic balance are addressed during physical therapy by simulating tasks that individual’s experience in their daily lives. These tasks include reaching, stepping onto and off of various pliable surfaces, and negotiating obstacles while walking. This is a great opportunity to not only challenge balance, but also memory, as the patient will need to follow directions and remember multi-step commands. By challenging balance in various ways, the body is better able to adapt and learn how to respond safely and appropriately during real life situations. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU FINISH PHYSICAL THERAPY? All of the factors addressed during physical therapy work together to improve overall function and safety. Once an individual has achieved his/her goals and is ready to be discharged, the physical therapist will provide the patient with a home exercise program so that the gains made during physical therapy can be maintained. Physical therapy can provide the tools for success, however it is up to the individual to use the information he/she has learned to continue to maximize safety and functional mobility! ELISE PAVLICK, DPT Elise graduated from the University of Delaware in 2011 with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology and a minor in Disabilities Studies. She continued her education at the University of Delaware where she earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree in January 2014. While at UD, she and a few classmates were chosen to present their case study, The Use of EMG Biofeedback as a Treatment for Facial Paralysis Secondary to Bell’s Palsy, at APTA’s Combined Sections Meeting. Elise has clinical experience in a variety of settings, including inpatient rehabilitation, acute care, outpatient orthopedics, and pediatric rehabilitation.

Think Outside The Pizza Box By Wolfgang Puck Although you can find artichokes in markets most of the year, right now is their absolute peak of season. So I thought I’d share a recipe that features artichokes in one of my favorite preparations, as the featured topping for a very simple pizza that complements the vegetable with some flavorful homemade chili-garlic oil, fresh herbs, caramelized onions and a light sprinkling of freshly grated Parmesan. That’s it. There’s no slathering of sharp tomato sauce or blanket of melted cheese to conceal the deliciousness of the artichoke itself. We who love artichokes are often tempted to call it the perfect vegetable. Consider just a few of the facts. Artichokes are beautiful to behold. Wide at their stem ends and gradually tapering, they range in size from barely bigger than golf balls to, more commonly, the dimensions of a softball. The exteriors are covered in fibrous leaves with sharp, pointy tips. Buried inside, however, is the artichoke’s heart: Firm, nutty and rich-tasting, a treasure that’s delicious whether the artichoke is steamed whole or pared down to the heart alone, which can be stuffed and baked, braised or cut up and sauteed. The following recipe, which features artichokes as the star ingredient, is perfect for dinner on a springtime weekend. Although it’s easy, you’ll need the afternoon for some advance preparation. Allow three or four hours to prepare the following recipe for my own go-to pizza dough. (However, it’s perfectly OK if you find good-quality, ready-to-use pizza dough in your favorite supermarket.) You’ll also want to allow at least a couple of hours for the seasonings to steep in my recipe for chili-garlic oil, and at least an hour to cook and cool the caramelized onions. The sauteed artichokes featured as the topping need less than 15 minutes to cook. But allow another 30 to 45 minutes to prep them first, a process I’d like to share in detail here. First, squeeze two lemon halves into a bowl of cold water, and have one more lemon at the ready, cut in half; this will prevent the artichoke hearts from discoloring. Cut off the stems with a paring knife. Starting at the base and rubbing cut surfaces with a lemon half, carefully peel off the tough outer green skin and leaves, working upward to the indentation about a third of the way from the base. Cut crosswise at the indentation to expose the fibrous choke; scoop it out with a teaspoon. Cut each bottom into eight wedges and put in the lemon water. They’re now ready to cook. Once the artichokes have been sauteed, you’ll be ready to start putting together some of the easiest, most flavorful springtime pizzas ever! HERBED ARTICHOKE PIZZAS Makes four 8-inch (20-cm) pizzas Wolfgang’s pizza dough (recipe follows) 4 teaspoons chili-garlic oil (recipe follows) 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme and oregano leaves Sauteed artichokes (recipe follows) Caramelized onions (recipe follows) 4 teaspoons freshly grated Parmesan 8 large fresh basil leaves, cut into thin julienne strips Place a pizza stone on the oven’s middle rack. Preheat to 500 F (260 C). On a lightly floured work surface, stretch out each dough ball into an 8-inch (20-cm) circle, shaping the edge slightly thicker. Brush with chili-garlic oil. Sprinkle with thyme and oregano. Top with artichokes and onions. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Using a pizza paddle, transfer the pizzas to the pizza stone. Bake until deep golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board. Scatter with basil and cut each into four slices. WOLFGANG’S PIZZA DOUGH
Makes 4 balls, each 6 ounces (185 g) 1 package active dry yeast 1 teaspoon honey 1 cup (250 mL) warm water, 105 F to 115 F (40 C to 46 C) 3 cups (750 mL) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup (60 mL) warm water. In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the oil, yeast mixture, and remaining water; process until a ball forms. Turn out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand until smooth and firm, about 3 minutes. Cover with a clean, damp towel and let rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours. Divide into four equal balls. Work each by pulling down the sides and tucking under. Repeat four or five times. On a smooth, unfloured surface, roll under your palm until smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. The balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to two days. CHILI-GARLIC OIL Makes 2 cups (500 ml) 1 head garlic, cloves separated and peeled 2 cups (500 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes In a small saucepan, combine the garlic and oil. Place over high heat and, when the garlic sizzles, reduce the heat to low and cook, checking frequently, until the garlic turns light golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Stir in the pepper flakes and infuse for 2 hours. Strain into an airtight container, cover, and refrigerate for up to two weeks. SAUTEED ARTICHOKES Makes 2 cups (500 mL) 4 large artichokes, stemmed and peeled, chokes removed, each bottom cut into 8 wedges and soaked in water with the juice of 1 lemon 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) canned chicken or vegetable stock or broth Drain the artichoke wedges thoroughly. Pat dry. In a 10inch (25-cm) skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the artichokes, season lightly with salt and pepper, and saute until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add stock and simmer until tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste. Set aside. CARAMELIZED ONIONS Makes 3/4 cup (185 mL) 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 large yellow onion, cut into 3/4-inch (18-mm) dice 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper In a 10-inch (25-cm) skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Saute the onion until lightly browned, 15 minutes. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, and cook 1 minute longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool and transfer to a covered container. Refrigerate until ready to use.
