By Alyssa Riccardi OCEAN COUNTY – Recently, New Jersey has joined the list of several other states who have legalized marijuana. But how will this decision effect K9 units and drug sniffing dogs?
Back in November, New Jersey residents voted on the Marijuana Legalization Amendment, with about 67 percent of residents voting ‘yes’ to legalize adult use of marijuana. In other states like Vir-
ginia and New Mexico who have legalized the drug, many police departments made the stark decision to retire their narcotics dogs early. Here in Ocean County, the Sheriff’s Office had prepared for the decision
since the beginning of 2020, before the amendment was even approved. “It’s safe to say that we knew this was coming. So, we trained (the dogs) not to imprint on marijuana,” Ocean County (K9 - See Page 4)
Beachwood Police Swears In Two Officers
By Chris Lundy BEACH WOOD – The borough police department welcomed back two men who had served the department earlier in their careers: Thomas Prince and Matthew Tapp. Both had been Special Law Enforcement Officers years ago and are now Patrol Officers. They were remembered for their dedication and
professionalism, and their return says something positive about serving in the borough. Prince began his law enforcement career as a SLEO (Special Law Enforcement Officer) I & II with the Seaside Heights Police in 2009. He joined Beachwood as a SLEO II in 2012. While here, he showed passion, reliabilit y, work ethic, and pro-
fessionalism, officials said. In 2016, he worked for the State Department of Corrections where he successfully completed a State Corrections Officer Training Course. He is being trained at the Gloucester County Police Academy which is tentatively scheduled to end in late November. When he com-
pletes this training, he will rejoin Beachwood Police. Tapp began his law enforcement career as a SLEO I & II with t he Poi nt Ple a s a nt Beach Police in 2013. He became an SLEO II in Beachwood in 2017. One of the many t asks he was given was code enforcement duties while the borough considered the
replacement of the code enforcement officer. Supervisors said he had a strong work ethic and a positive attitude. He then worked for the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department in 2019 before coming back to Beachwood. His father, Robert, retired as chief in Beachwood recently. His brother, Michael, is currently a borough officer.

Toms River Site Picked For VA Clinic
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The Department of Veterans Affairs has issued an award to a Toms River plan to build a new “Community Based Outpatient Clinic” off of Hooper Avenue. The current facility, the James J. Howard clinic on Route 70 in Brick, has long been considered too small for the amount of people who use it. Parking and traffic also make it difficult to access. The new building would be 68,000 square feet and have 480 parking spaces. The exact location would be between Seacourt Pavilion Shopping Center and the Esplanade Office Park on Hooper Avenue, behind the currently vacant Capital One bank. This is called the Hooper-Caudina Redevelopment Area. Caudina is the road that comes out from Seacourt and meets a traffic light across from the big Presbyterian church. Other plans for that property will include apartments and retail. The township has also been trying to get the post office moved from downtown Toms River to this location. The same site was previously selected by the (Clinic - See Page 5)

K9:
Continued From Page 1 Sheriff Michael Mastronardy said. Departments like Ocean County train several dogs for multiple different uses. Along with narcotics dogs, you have bomb detection dogs, tracking dogs, patrol dogs and more. James Reilly, a retired sergeant who served for 31 years at the Toms River Police Department and is now an Investigator at the Ocean County
Sheriff’s Office, has worked with 26 K9s in his career. He explained how there’s more to K9 units than just drug sniffing dogs. “You have dogs that sniff at arson scenes and can tell you where the accelerant was used, if it was used. You have bomb detection dogs that can tell you ‘Hey, this is not safe.’ They’ll do a lot of bomb sweeps for public events. You do have the narcotics dogs. You have dogs whose sole purpose is just tracking. They’ll track missing Alzheimer’s patients, a missing
child or they could track a suspect that maybe assaulted somebody and left on foot. Then you have the patrol aspect who are capable of clearing a building to make sure nobody is hiding inside. They will also apprehend a suspect and can be used to clear an area outside to make sure nobody is hiding in the woods who committed a crime,” Reilly said. When it comes to narcotics dogs, Reilly explained how once a dog has been trained and imprinted on the smell of marijuana, it’s

impossible to retrain them and remove that odor from their palate. “They’re trained on certain drugs, and they don’t know whether they are searching for that specific drug or any of the other ones they were imprinted on. So that’s why the dogs that are currently imprinted on marijuana become obsolete because they have been imprinted with this odor and they understand that odor gets them their reward and it’s next to impossible to remove that odor because they’ve been rewarded for it,” Reilly said. “The dogs that are imprinted on marijuana can be used still if there’s a search warrant. At that point even if they did indicate marijuana, we already have the right to be there. And they can sniff out other drugs they’ve been trained to do.” To prepare for this change, the department stopped training narcotics dogs to imprint on the scent of weed. It would become an issue if police searched a car or home for drugs that turned out to be marijuana, as they would be violating that person’s rights. “For a car, we wouldn’t use a dog imprinted on marijuana because they would be a violation, so those dogs will no longer be able to do that. But a lot of the more recent dogs, since we knew that this was coming, we stopped imprinting the dogs on marijuana,” Reilly said. “We can put the odor in the dog, but we can’t take it out. The last two classes I trained, I didn’t imprint marijuana on those dogs. So, you have dogs out there that are four to five years old, that have a lot of work life left in them but they’re imprinted on marijuana. They just can’t be used for that anymore.” Reilly assured that their dogs who are imprinted on cannabis won’t be retiring any time soon. He explained how a majority of their K9s are cross trained, so they can be used for other situations. “There’s still a lot of uses for them in the patrol aspect. If they were just a narcotics dog, then I could definitely see that (retiring). Most of our dogs are crosstrained, so they still have that patrol function and there is a use for them,” Reilly said. “As they near retirement, you may retire them a little earlier than you would have to.” Officer Ray Vosseller’s partner, Duke, is a 3-year-old German shepherd and one of the first K9s at the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office trained not to be imprinted on marijuana. Now that weed is legal in the state, this change in training will become the new standard for future K9s. “They’re a valuable tool. They have a big purpose and especially in Ocean and Monmouth County. There’s a lot of dogs out there and they do a lot of good. We train often and we try to make sure that these dogs maintain a standard that’s not just at the Attorney General’s level, but far exceeds it because that’s what the people deserve. They deserve the best dog that we can put out there,” Reilly said. “We have a dog here that’s credited to saving his handler’s life. That just shows you that they’re very valuable to use and to the public,” Vosseller said. “I think that there’s got to be a real appreciation for what these partners, and that’s what they are to these officers, these partners have done an incredible job historically for public safety in New Jersey and making the residents safe,” Mastronardy said. “What we’re doing is saving people’s lives and saving the officers. These partners are just an extraordinary asset to us and to public safety.”

Clinic:
Continued From Page 1 VA in 2019, but the prospective developer at that time declined the lease in early 2020. This caused the VA to restart the site selection process. In less than three weeks, the Township managed to finalize a redeveloper designation with FD Stonewater, township officials said. The plan was submitted by FD Stonewater of Arlington, VA, which describes itself as a “boutique real estate brokerage, investment, development and asset management firm with national capabilities.” “This is a big win for the veterans of Ocean County and surrounding counties because they will no longer need to find transportation to East Orange for many of their needs,” Mayor Maurice Hill said. “In addition, the Ocean County’s new Social Services Building will be constructed right next to the new VA clinic site and will include the Ocean County Veterans Service Bureau, which provides ‘one stop shop’ convenience for many of the needs of the men and women who heroically served our nation. It is the least we can do for them. I’d like to thank Congressman Kim and his staff, as well the County Commissioners, County Administrator and County Engineer and their staff for their help and coordination over the past year.” The timeline for construction will likely take several years, as it has to go through local, county and federal planning and approvals. It is unclear what will happen to the clinic in Brick after the new one opens. The lease on that one ended in 2020, but a “bridge lease” would be enacted until a replacement is finished. Brick officials had offered two locations to
The Berkeley Times, August 7, 2021, Page 5 keep it in town. “We applaud the announcement that a new state-of-the-art VA clinic will be coming to Toms River. This will provide easy access to our veterans seeking medical care. We have many WWII, Korea and Vietnam veterans that have difficulty traveling long distances for the medical care they need. When constructed, this will provide a short and convenient ride for them. We owe the best medical care it to each and every veteran for their service to our country,” Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato said. “We have a tight schedule to deliver this important facility, but we are accustomed to navigating similar timelines, meeting the agency’s requirements, and successfully delivering specialized facilities for Federal Government tenants,” said Claiborne Williams, founding partner of FD Stonewater. “The Township was extremely professional and responsive during this process and we’ve established a collaborative working partnership. We could not have won this procurement without the assistance of Mayor Hill and the Township’s professional staff. We’d like to thank the Township Administrator, Lou Amoruso; the Township Assistant Attorney, Anthony Merlino; Township Planner, Dave Roberts; and Township Engineer, Bob Chankalian for their work on behalf of our proposal, as well as the Township’s Special Counsel on Redevelopment, Brian Nelson of Archer & Greiner P.C.” Founding partner Richard Mann added, “It was a long road to get to this point, but now the real work begins. Our team is ready to get started and we are honored to participate in such an important project for our nation’s veterans and this community”.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F eatured L etter DEP Is Not Protecting Bay Head Bay Head residents continue to be disgruntled and frustrated with NJ Transit and the NJ DEP due to their lack of response and concern for issues raised about the construction of the new substation in the Bay Head Rail Yard. On June 24, 2021, Save Barnegat Bay filed an Environmental Rights Act (ERA) complaint against NJ Transit for their blatant lack of compliance with regulatory standards to protect Barnegat Bay, the wetlands area and the endangered and threatened species who forage, live and breed in this area. Specifically, in New Jersey, ospreys are listed as threatened under the Endangered and Nongame Species Conservation Act of 1973. Nests are protected during the nesting season from April 1 through August 31. During this time nests cannot be disturbed or moved. Despite this decree, construction has continued, which has led to the abandonment of osprey habitats due to the continued disturbance. Ospreys have occupied the wetlands nesting platforms for over ten years, but unfortunately these nests have been rendered uninhabitable. NJ Transit requested and received an adjournment for the hearing, for a date in late August. Unfortunately, NJ Transit, when applying for permits, they received a
“categorical exclusion” from the National Environmental Policy Act. The community of Bay Head asks the question, “Why?” Additionally, NJ Transit applied for a permit in September of 2020 to discharge up to 50,000 gallons of industrial waste groundwater into Twilight Lake for a period of one year. The initial request was for 100,000 gallons. This permit is part of the construction process of the new Substation that is being built in the wetlands of Twilight Lake. The lake is a tidal waterway to Barnegat Bay, which is designated as “Category 1,” and therefore, protected under the highest standards from degradation of any kind. On April 22, 2021, the NJ DEP held a public hearing in two virtual sessions which provided all concerned parties the opportunity to voice their concerns about the potential harm that allowance of dewatering would have on Twilight Lake. Over 100 individuals attended the meetings and voiced significant concerns with the potential of NJ Transit dumping industrial wastewater into Twilight Lake, the centerpiece of Bay Head, where residents and summertime visitors, swim, fish, kayak and enjoy sunsets. The lake is also a habitat and foraging area to several threatened and endangered species including the osprey, the least tern, and the black-crowned night heron. In addition to the
hearing, the community residents wrote letters to the NJ DEP with photos and videos of their activities and the wildlife enjoying this lake. Residents have continued to inquire as to the status of this permit, but after three months there is still no answer from the NJ DEP. It is unconscionable that anyone be allowed to dump into Twilight Lake, no less than industrial waste water from a historically contaminated site. How is the NJ DEP’s inaction possible? Despite over two years of legal action against NJ Transit for the construction of the substation due to the negative environmental impact this project will have on the surrounding area, the agency has not afforded the Bay Head community any reasonable or acceptable changes to their construction plan. Presently there are viable options available to replace this $24 million project, which will support antiquated technology. Among them are re-directing funding to a Battery Power Pilot project, similar to that currently being conducted by the LIRR, which would pave the way for the full rail system to transition in the future.

Councilman Rodrick Is Wrong, But So Is The System There is a lot of chaos in the Toms River Schools right now because Township Councilman Dan Rodrick has been trying to influence three board members - Kevin Kidney, Ashley Palmiere and Lisa Contessa – to vote for a certain superintendent. That person, James Altobello, will then give Rodrick an administrator job in the district. Everyone is crying foul. Democrats. Republicans. Everyone. But the problem is not with Rodrick. The problem is with the system. The big two political parties have been doing stuff like this for decades. Maybe centuries. The only reason anyone has a problem with it right now is that Rodrick isn’t popular with his fellow Republicans. If he was popular, then they would have no problem with him influencing board members and getting a cushy desk job as payment. Other Republicans have done it. The Democrats would do it too if they were able. All the Democrats and all the Republicans are now beating on Rodrick because he’s an easy target. It makes them look like the good guys. But look at how many people (Mayor) Mo Hill has on his payroll that are good friends. Think about how many people employed by the county got their job because of someone they know. The county has been run by Republicans for decades. Some of them working there are lifers. They’ve been at the public trough forever. They’ve probably never held a real job. Yes, Rodrick is wrong. But that’s not why people are angry at him. The other politicians are angry at him because he’s playing their game better than they are. Ron David Toms River
Concern About Six Flags Ride This letter is in regards to the temporary closing of a ride due to a partial derailment. Hello, my name is Aaron Neitzel. I am 14 years old and in the Boy Scouts. I am sending you this message for a merit badge requirement. I would like to share my opinion on the recent closing of the Six Flags ride “El Toro.” I feel very concerned about the safety of El Toro, as I recently went on that ride. I would also express concern to the riders that were on it at the time, as they could have lost their lives easily. I hope that this issue would be fixed in the foreseeable future. Also, I would try to help get that fixed, as I will be working there the summer of when I turn 15 years old. I would finally like to share that I think Six Flags should work on other rides, mostly the older ones, due to the possibility of the same scenario happening again. Anyways, these were my opinions on the shutdown. I hope you enjoyed my opinions and viewpoints on this topic. I hope you find this information helpful. Aaron Neitzel Jackson
Lacey Rail Trail Safety An Issue Ocean County has a very good system of trails to hike. While working on a hiking merit badge for my Boy Scout troop, I hiked many of them. For one of my hikes, I hiked on the Barnegat Branch Trail from Berkeley to Barnegat and back. Many others were hiking the trail as well and enjoying the outdoors. Hopefully, the trail will be completed in the near future so that people will be able to hike from Toms River all the way to Barnegat and back. The one criticism I have of the trail is that it’s difficult
to cross from the northern section to the southern section at Lacey Road In order to hike the full trail, you have to cross Lacey Road, with five lanes of traffic. Hopefully, the county will consider rectifying that problem by putting a light or a crosswalk so that hikers and other people using the trail can safely cross Lacey Road without taking their life in their hands. Hunter Ellingham Berkeley
Affordable Housing Hurts The Environment In the June 10th edition of The Coast Star, an individual, Barry Weshnak, penned a letter to the editor about his view that New Jersey’s affordable housing requirements have a negative effect on New Jersey’s environment. I could not agree more with this thoughtful letter. The affordable housing program contributes significantly to the clearing of woodlands, development of farms, water pollution, and emissions which are caused by traffic density. Environmental advocates passionately support their causes - cleaner air and water, preserving open space, and promoting renewable energy. All of these are laudable goals. Yet, all too often, these advocates remain silent to the impact that affordable housing has on the environment. It is hypocritical that environmental groups do not speak out against the state’s affordable housing requirements. New Jersey’s onerous affordable housing mandates have placed our towns in the untenable situation of being forced to build high-density housing without regard for the impact on the community, local infrastructure, or the environment. Those who consider ourselves environmentalists cannot have it both ways. Sean T. Kean Assemblyman, 30th District

Murphy: Parkway Service Areas To Be Renamed After New Jersey Icons
TRENTON - To showcase the outstanding talent of the people of New Jersey and their contributions to the world, Governor Phil Murphy announced that the New Jersey Turnpike Authority is renaming nine service areas on the Garden State Parkway after iconic New Jersey Hall of Fame (NJHOF) inductees in the arts, entertainment and sports. Nine service areas will be renamed as follows:
• Montvale: James Gandolfini Service Area • Brookdale North: Larry Doby Service Area • Brookdale South: Connie Chung Service Area • Vauxhall: Whitney Houston Service Area • Cheesequake: Jon Bon Jovi Service Area • Monmouth: Judy Blume Service Area • Forked River: Celia Cruz Service Area • Atlantic: Frank Sinatra Service Area
FLUORESCIEN EYE STAIN TEST
Ironically, it is difficult to see injury on an eye’s surface without a bit of help. This is why ophthalmologists use a fluorescein eye stain test when searching for damage on the cornea. The cornea is the clear outer covering on the eye that protects it from dust, germs, and direct light. When applied, fluorescein dye highlights abrasions, scratches, and foreign objects on the cornea’s surface. To see these highlights properly, a cobalt blue light is shown into the eye. The fluorescein eye stain test may stain the skin around the eyes or any material that comes into contact with tears for a day or so, but the procedure is completely safe and free of side effects. After the test, your doctor will use the results to diagnosis any problems you’re having with your eyes. They’ll meet with you to discuss the damage discovered on your cornea and plan any necessary treatment. Our eye center is dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family.

• Ocean View: Toni Morrison Service Area
In keeping with the New Jersey Hall of Fame’s mission, the Garden State Parkway service area exhibits will encourage people to purposely choose their own heroes and learn about their paths to success. Garden State Parkway service area parking lots will now welcome visitors with banners of NJHOF inductees, and each service area will contain Hard Rock Cafe-style exhibits including inspirational posters designed by renowned New Jersey architect Michael Graves, compelling artifacts, and an interactive Wall of Fame featuring a life-sized video monitor showcasing over 200 biographical vignettes of all inductees and their acceptance speeches. Service area patrons will be invited to pose with various Jersey legends and share the photos on their social media platforms. While all New Jersey Hall of Fame inductees will be showcased, each service area will be themed in the categories of arts, entertainment and sports. The planned Parkway service area exhibitions further extend the Hall of Fame’s statewide network of museums, exhibits and poster installations in partnership with Newark Liberty International Airport, NJ TRANSIT, Battleship New Jersey, Meadowlands Chamber of Commerce, and the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. Later this year the Hall of Fame will announce updated plans for its permanent home at American Dream while the mobile museum continues to serve local communities. “This is about putting New Jersey greatness on full display,” said Governor Phil Murphy. “This is the first part of an extended statewide exhibition of New Jersey heroes throughout our state. From military heroes on the Battleship New Jersey to
historical figures on the New Jersey Turnpike to science and technology trailblazers at Newark Penn Station, New Jerseyans will find pride in our contributions to society and the world.” “Our State’s rich cultural history has fostered an incredible number of talented individuals who have brought great pride to New Jersey through their contributions in entertainment, sports, arts and more,” said First Lady Tammy Murphy. “By highlighting the past achievements of New Jersey residents, we aim to encourage hope for the future success stories of our great state, and maybe even inspire the next Toni Morrison or Jon Bon Jovi to achieve all that they can through the opportunities afforded in New Jersey.” “Millions of New Jersey drivers travel on the Garden State Parkway every day,” said New Jersey Department of Transportation Commissioner Diane Scaccetti-Gutierrez. “The service areas they visit during those travels are a fitting place to call attention to the accomplishments of their fellow New Jerseyans in the arts, entertainment, and sports. And there is no organization better suited to identify the New Jerseyans worthy of this recognition than the New Jersey Hall of Fame.” “New Jersey’s leaders have joined with New Jersey Hall of Fame to inspire people to become leaders in their own fields as they travel along the Garden State Parkway,” said NJHOF Chairman Jon F.Hanson. “We’re grateful to the Governor, the First Lady, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, and Senator Patrick Diegnan for their leadership. “We encourage patrons in each service area to identify with one of our inductees and take to heart the advice our inductees provide on how to reach the pinnacle of their respective professions,” said Steve Edwards, President of the New Jersey Hall of Fame. “The rest is up to you!”

Police Say Man Dealt Cocaine, Had Weapon
By Alyssa Riccardi BERKELEY – A man has been arrested and charged for distributing drugs after police seized about 30 grams of cocaine from his home. After conducting an investigation on narcotics distribution in the Ocean County area, detectives identified a home in the Manitou Park section of Berkeley Township allegedly being used to store and deal cocaine. On July 30, Detectives from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force, Ocean County Regional SWAT Team, Berkeley Township Police Department and Patrol Division and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit executed the search warrant on the home. Police said they seized approximately 30 grams of cocaine and a loaded Glock 9mm handgun with a large capacity magazine containing hollow point bullets. As a result, the resident, Tiron Hester, 29, of Toms River, was arrested and charged
with Possession of More than One-Half Ounce but Less than Five Ounces of Cocaine with Intent to Distribute, Possession of Cocaine, Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon, Possession of a Firearm During a Controlled Dangerous Substance Offense, Possession of a Large Capacity Magazine and Possession of Hollow Point Ammunition. Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer commended the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Asset Forfeiture Unit, Berkeley Township Police Department Detective Bureau and Patrol Division, Ocean County Regional SWAT Team, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit, for their combined assistance in connection with this investigation. These charges are merely accusations and the public are reminded that all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Around The Jersey Shore County Superintendent Visits Summer Programs
TOMS RIVER – Executive County Superintendent Charlie Muller visited Toms River on July 28 to check in on the district’s summer programming. At High School South, Muller observed the school’s music and world language class and its Vocal Music Institute. Both programs, as well as the graphic novels book club (those students were visiting Ocean County Library) host students from throughout the district. The timing of his visit to the vocal music class proved perfect for Muller, who was
spontaneously treated to a song. At Intermediate South, Muller witnessed the school’s Summer Acceleration Program, a district-wide effort to utilize these summer months to accelerate students’ academic growth in math and ELA, particularly following nearly a year and a half of limited in-person instruction. The visit was a productive one for the county superintendent, and provided the district a chance to show off its programming and the dedicated staff leading it all.

4 Ways Hearing Tech Supports Your Active Summer
AI has arrived Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized hearing care. Indeed, you can monitor your physical and mental well-being with the AGXs liv AI and its Thrive™ app. Some devices and apps even have a translation & transcription feature for over 25 different languages. Geotag it Many hearing devices have a smartphone app that lets you geotag — it’s like a geographical bookmark. Optimize your hearing aids for a given location, apply the geotag, and when you return to that spot, the app automatically adjusts your settings!
Rechargeability Confidently live it up this summer with all-day power — choose from the growing number of rechargeable hearing aid models from all six-major manufacturer’s including Oticon, Starkey, Phonak, GN Resound, Widex and Signia. TV Streaming One of the biggest complaint that we
see in our Clinic is the inability to clarify conversations when watching TV. Even with the use of hearing aids alone, many of our patients still need the use of Closed Captioning and still only understand 50% of the TV conversations. TV streaming allows you to receive the direct audio input from your TV into your hearing instruments, wirelessly. This Bluetooth signal will dramatically improve your ability to understand the majority of conversations when watching TV. AGXchange program Headed on a road trip? Call us first to find out if there’s an AudigyCertified™ practice nearby. You’ll get the same quality hearing care you’ve come to expect from us.

5 Impressive Natural Remedies For Chronic Constipation
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Our gut takes a beating over a lifetime, and while it’s not my favorite subject (because it reminds me of my brother’s colon cancer), I feel that the intestines are the place to focus if you ever want to truly regain your health. Today’s article focuses on constipation because if you are not eliminating toxins properly, they will build up in your body and increase your risk for many diseases. Some people reading this today think that constipation means they cannot have a bowel movement, but that’s not true. If you have small ‘rocks and pebbles’ coming out, that is also constipation and should be treated. First and foremost, start drinking more because hydration will soften stools. Consider food intolerances because some foods will cause you to be constipated. For example, a diet high in dairy and rice for example is not good for you. Chronic unrelenting stress will cause some people to become constipated, and likewise it could trigger bought of diarrhea, or alternating bouts of each. I know a person who suffered with IBS for the last 3 years, and now that she’s made a new life decision, she is completely cured! Amazing to me, and yet not really! We all know that unchecked stress leads to illness over time. You may be wondering about medications you take, and if those can contribute to your problem. The answer is yes, and there are many drugs that cause or exacerbate a person’s constipation, most commonly allergy medications, opiates and blood pressure pills. Here are some of the best things you can do to help yourself. Of course, as your doctor if it’s right for you:
1. Probiotics - These help replenish lost flora in the gastrointestinal tract, and that is important to healing. 2. Ginger - This herb is calming to digestion and helps with nausea. It has an antimicrobial effect on pathogens in the gut. You can cook with this easily if you grate some fresh ginger into your recipes, or use a dash of the dried powder. 3. Fennel - This relaxes the muscles in the intestinal tract and may help relieve constipation and gassiness. 4. Lemon zest - Get an organic lemon and grate some fresh lemon peel into your recipes. A brand-new study in the journal, Foods found that supplementing meals with lemon peel reduced inflammation in the gut lining of the mice they studied. 5. Triphala - This herb is widely available in American health food stores and online. It’s a combination of three different herbs (Terminalia bellirica, Emblica officinalis, and Terminalia Chebula, so we call it “triphala.” It has been used for various GI ailments, including stomach pain, constipation and flatulence. Check with your doctor about triphala if you are taking medications for diabetes and hypertension because it may not be right for you. In summary, when your gut is given some TLC from herbs and enzymes, your whole body responds. Your skin wounds heal faster, your acne clears up, your autoimmune antibodies go down, infections become less frequent, immunity goes up, and best of all your regularity improves.

WE ARE OCEAN AND WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!
Inflammation and Health
By Phyllis Brown Holiday City at Berkeley EMS BERKELEY - If you regularly follow health news or read about wellness, you’ve likely been hearing a lot about inflammation. Inflammation is the body’s natural protective response to infection or injury. If you cut your finger, your immune system responds by sending white blood cells to repair it. These cells trigger a temporary inflammatory response to help healing. No biggie. It’s actually good for you. When inflammation sticks around too long, it becomes potentially dangerous. You’re probably getting tired of reading that you could be healthier and enjoy your retirement years more if you started good health habits, but it’s true. Long-term inflammation is linked to almost every major chronic disease, like high blood pressure and stroke. It’s each person’s unique response that may partially explain why one smoker or heavy drinker develops blocked arteries while another does not. Experts are still sorting out exactly how inflammation affects our health, but we know that taking steps to reduce inflammation is an excellent way to safeguard your heart and the rest of your body, too. Quit smoking. Smoking triggers an inflammatory response and it increases the rate that fatty deposits, or plaque, build up in the arteries. As the area of plaque accumulation grows, so does the inflammation surrounding it. This increases the odds that the plaque will rupture, which can lead to the kind of blockage that causes a heart attack. Stay active. Not running 20 miles, but getting up and moving around is really important. Research shows 30 minutes of
moderate exercise 5 days a week can reduce inflammation levels by 12%. When talking on the phone, I walk around the house instead of sitting. You know how much dust I find when talking to my daughter for an hour or more. Eat anti-inflammatory foods: a Mediterranean diet, rich in fatty fish, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and legumes can lower levels of inflammation. Some studies show diets lacking veggies, high in sugar, refined grains, and trans fats tend to promote inflammation. (Pro tip: Just because a product says it has zero grams of trans fat, doesn’t actually mean it’s actually trans-fat free. If the ingredient list contains anything hydrogenated, there are trans fats present in the product, and you should find an alternative option.) A little bit of alcohol can also be helpful. While there are concerns that any amount of alcohol consumption may increase your risk for some cancers, research has found moderate consumption - up to a drink a day for women, or two for men - can knock down your levels of inflammation. If you’re a teetotaler, antioxidant-rich foods like grapes, berries, and 70% dark chocolate can also be helpful. (Pro tip: Stick to a 1-ounce serving of chocolate to keep calories in check.) Take time to unwind. Take part in activities that lower anxiety. Avoid stuff that stresses you out. More and more doctors see that emotional health and stress play a role in inflammation. Laughing can reduce the stiffness and aging of blood vessels. Take regular breaks from your smart phone. Don’t forget, without volunteers there is no free First Aid Squad.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
A Cure For The Television Blues
Dear Joel, I find television so bad lately. The news is depressing; the shows are violent or racy and sports has become a platform for opinions and protest. It is so hard to find anything fun to watch but old movies. Do you have any suggestions for tv viewing? Answer: I agree, tv is really awful, but there are a couple things that you might enjoy. I like to watch old game shows. They’re clean and funny and the whole family can play together. I also enjoy many of the documentaries that you can find in
places like the History Channel, National Geographic and the Animal Planet. The old movies are great too and when in doubt, there’s nothing wrong with a good book. Thanks for writing, Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM.

Around The Jersey Shore Lakewood Man Indicted After Attacking Police
By Alyssa Riccardi LAKEWOOD – A man has been indicted for Attempted Murder, Aggravated Assault and more after attacking officers with a knife. On the evening of April 17, Lakewood Township Police Officers responded to an alleged disturbance at a home on Lisa Robyn Circle. When officers attempted to contact Stanley Williams, 25, of Lakewood, inside the home, he allegedly attacked them with a knife, wounding both officers around the head and face. Afterwards, Williams barricaded himself in his home. After trying to get Williams out of his home, the Lakewood Township Police Department Special Response Team and the Ocean County Regional SWAT team arrived to assist with entering the home. When officers were able to enter the home around 2:30 a.m., Williams allegedly shot a BB gun at them and as a result hit one of the officers. Subsequently, Williams was arrested and charged on April 18 and lodged in the Ocean County Jail where he will remain
pending trial. On August 2, Williams was indicted on two counts of Attempted Murder, Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose, Aggravated Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer, Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm and Unlawful Possession of a Weapon. Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer acknowledged the diligent efforts of Supervising Assistant Prosecutor Michael Abatemarco, Assistant Prosecutor Genna Moscato, and Assistant Prosecutor Victoria Esler, who are handling the case on behalf of the State, and commended the Lakewood Township Police Department, Lakewood Township Police Department Special Response Team, and the Ocean County Regional SWAT Team, for their collaborative efforts in connection with this investigation leading to William’s indictment. The public are reminded that all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Anyone selling real estate in New Jersey needs to be aware of the terms of the Bulk Sales Act. The purpose behind the Bulk Sales Act is to protect a purchaser from any taxes owed by the seller to the State of New Jersey. The failure to follow the Bulk Sales procedures could result in the State assessing any tax liability of the seller against the purchaser. For the purposes of the Bulk Sale Act, the only real estate that is exempt from the Bulk Sales filing requirement is a simple dwelling house, which is a one- or two-family residential building, or condominium, if the seller is an individual, estate or trust. Almost all other real estate transactions are required to file pursuant to the Bulk Sales Act. The filing procedure for the Bulk Sales Act is relatively straightforward. At least 10 business days prior to the closing of title, the purchaser or their attorney must file a form with the State referred to as a C-9600 Bulk Sales Notice. The form contains information about the transaction including the seller’s name and tax ID number as well as the purchaser’s name and tax ID number. The terms of the sale must be disclosed by way of a copy of the real estate contract attached to the form.
Once the State receives that form, it will then review its records to determine whether the seller owes any taxes to the State, including any taxes that may result from the specific sale. The State will then send what is referred to as a Bulk Sales escrow letter to the buyer’s attorney. The Bulk Sales escrow letter will direct how much money must be escrowed from the seller at closing pending a determination by the State as to the actual taxes owed. The next step is for the seller or their accountant to submit to the State a form known as a TTD (Transfer Tax Declaration) form in which the seller discloses the taxes that may be due to the State as a result of the transaction. In some cases, the Bulk Sales notice and the TTD form can be submitted simultaneously so that the State can make a determination as to amount of taxes owed. Once the State determines the taxes owed, it will send a second letter directing the buyer’s attorney to release a specific amount of money from the escrow held at closing. Upon the State receives that money it will then send a third letter to the buyer’s attorney authorizing the release of the remaining escrow to the seller.
