With Jail Population Declining, County Begins Adapting To New Incarceration Policy
By Daniel Nee OCEAN COUNTY – County Assignment Judge Marlene Lynch Ford said the state’s new bail reform law, currently being piloted in three counties, will be New Jersey’s iteration of a trend that is the first real change to the bail system in American criminal courts in the nation’s history. For the county government,
which funds the salaries of corrections officers and administers the jail facility off Hooper Avenue in Toms River, there is the potential for both cost savings and cost increases under the reforms, which will go into effect for the entire state next year. “Under the cur rent system where monetary bail is imposed, you have the nonsensical result
that people who have the ability to post bond and are a danger to the community are released, while those who do not pose a danger to society and are poor, are held,” Ford told the county’s freeholder board at a recent work session meeting. The reform law, passed by voter referendum in 2014, changes bail (Jail - See Page 5)

from a purely monetary-based system to one where criminal suspects will be assessed as to their risk to society if released pending trial. Low-risk offenders may be released without having to post monetary bond, and high-risk offenders may be remanded to the jail regardless of whether they have funds that would cover bail costs. Low-level offenders who do not have to post a monetary bail may be required to comply with orders to check in frequently with the court. Ford, who said she was constrained from giving her personal opinion on the law, still explained some of its benefits, including the fact that there is a recognition that some suspects’ bail may be funded through illicit means, while 12 percent of jail inmates remain behind bars simply because they are unable to afford a $2,500 bail cost. “The money-based system had no relation to criminal activity or a defendant’s danger to the community,” Ford said. The new system will require new manpower, said Ford, primarily the employees who will be conducting the assessments on prisoners to determine their risk. Advanced computer software with an algorithm to predict risk also comes with a cost, plus the judges and court staff who will likely have to begin working weekends to accommodate the law’s requirement of a bail hearing with 48 hours instead of 72 hours under the current policy.
The Jackson Times, April 23, 2016, Page 5 The assessors will be paid by the state, Ford said, while the cost of corrections officers’ salaries will be sourced from the county. Those costs, however, may be canceled out by having fewer prisoners in the jail, potentially requiring less manpower and saving the cost of food, medical care and other services for a higher inmate population. As new state policies such as drug court and other diversionary programs have been expanded, Ocean County’s jail population has decreased. On an average day in 2014, there were 694 inmates in the facility. In 2015, that number was cut to 629 inmates, and so far in 2016 the average daily population is 590, according to County Administrator Carl Block. “I don’t think anyone really knows the final economic cost,” said Freeholder Jack Kelly. Ford said the process of arresting a suspect and calculating their risk will be made easier through LiveScan technology, where arrestees are fingerprinted electronically rather than with ink, allowing for a nearly instant criminal history check. Though essentially all of the county’s local police departments have the technology, some do not frequently use it, a policy which will have to change due to the 48 component of the law. “We’re moving forward with training, working with the New Jersey State Police,” said county Sheriff Michael Mastronardy. The new policy must be implemented statewide January 1, 2017.
Landlord:

Council Vice President Kenneth Bressi said that process worked well until recently, when growth patterns in town brought out concerns. “You do have to put some teeth into it. A fee and a penalty for not doing it – that has to be done,” Bressi said. He does want to explore the burden it might have on the clerk’s office, as well as those who must enforce the registry. Councilwoman Ann Updegrave said she has spoken with Township Clerk Ann Marie Eden about a change and welcomed Nixon’s recommendations, calling the measure “overdue.” Nixon said residents have alerted the township to suspicious activity involving rental homes, and sure enough he said, code enforcement discovered non-permitted construction such as creating apartments taking place. But how far legally can the township go? Nixon said he and Municipal Attorney Jean Cipriani have examined ordinances throughout the state as to not “[reinvent] the wheel.” Cipriani said she could have a draft ordinance by April 26, the next township council meeting. She did say the township can require an annual registration and fee, and set
up fines for noncompliance. However, getting identifying information on home dwellers “can get a little bit tricky there,” she said. “But you also have to consider the idea of your resources. Are there any inspections going with that,” Cipriani said. “The landlord registration piece is very straightforward for an ordinance.” The State’s Division of Codes and Standards, under N.J.A.C. 5:29-1.1, requires landlords of single or two-unit dwellings to fill out and supply to tenants and municipal clerks a “landlord identity registration,” which asks for: the property address; the names and addresses of all recorded owners; the names and addresses of agents or corporate officers, if applicable; the name and address of a managing agent, if applicable; the name and address of a janitor, superintendent, etc., if applicable; the name and address of mortgage holders; and the company name and address that supplies fuel oil to the dwelling. “If we have the ability to exceed— sometimes the State says you can’t go above, and sometimes they say, ‘this is the floor’—if this is one of those floor/ ceiling things, let us know, because if we could do more, I think we owe it to the residents to do more if we’re legally permitted,” Nixon said.

Opinion
Editorial
The Importance Of Community Editor’s Note: To mark the 21st anniversary of Micromedia Publications, which launched The Manchester Times this week in 1995, we present this week the first edition’s editorial, “The Importance Of Community.” Its sentiments hold true, 21 years since their writing, and onward. Much of our news today contains evidence of a society seemingly in a state of disintegration. We can hardly view the evening news or read the morning paper without being confronted with images of violence, hopelessness and despair – in short, the symptoms of a society where people have lost a sense of control over their own lives. We believe that many of the problems experienced in our country today have resulted from a lost sense of community. What is a community? It is certainly more than a place where people live or work. It is a place where people interact in countless and vital ways. It is a place where people raise their children, tend to their loved ones, pursue their friendships and retire after a lifetime of meaningful work. In many ways, the strength of a community is reflected
through the strength of its local institutions – its government, its schools, its numerous community groups and houses of worship. The degree to which people interact with these institutions directly affects the strength and cohesiveness of the community as a whole. It is our conviction that the hope of America lies not in big government and the bureaucracies spawned by it, but rather by the sense of control people will experience in their lives with a renewed sense of community. The hope lies in the simple associations we make in our community each and every day. We believe that the mission of a local newspaper should be to promote the highest ideals of community life. With accurate, comprehensive news and lively commentary geared toward the interests of residents, our readers are encouraged to experience the fulfillment of participating in all aspects of their community. As a local publication dedicated to the needs of our community, regular dialogue between us and our readers is essential. We encourage your regular input, comments and criticisms so we can accomplish the purpose for which The Times has been established.

The Time for Ocean Planning Is Now

Why The Flat Tax Won’t Work I n re sp on se t o “ Flat Tax Only Fair Tax,” from t he M a r ch 19 e d it ion ,
I would like to present a number of issues that challenged the Flat Tax proposal by Representative Jack Kemp and Steve Forbes in 1991-92. Kemp and Forbes’ 17 percent Flat Tax was to replace the current graduated income tax, which was instituted by a Constit utional A mend ment in 1913. Their Flat Tax would eliminate the IRS, allow filing on a postcard and save tax payers over $2 0 0 bi l l io n a n n u a l ly by no longer employing certified public accountants. However, this Flat Tax no longer allowed deductions on interest rates of home mor tgages, medical bills or proper t y t axes. A nd t he federal budget would have a $40 billion deficit. If implemented at 17 percent, the initial budget deficit would be $200 billion, which Kemp and Fo r b e s a p p a r e nt ly a c knowledged. So, to adju st t he la rger def icit, t hey proposed “a temporar y 23 percent Flat Tax.” Since the average filer paid 24 percent after t a k i ng a l l de d uc t ion s , why would we change the c o n s t it u t io n a l a m e n d me nt for one p e rce nt? And, what are the odds that Congress would lower the Flat Tax to 17 percent if/when the budget was balanced? Today, Senator Ted Cruz of Texa s is appa rently promoting a 10 percent Flat Tax. Since the current national debt is $17 t r illion and the an nual budget deficit is over $1 t r i l l ion , wh ich i s f ive times the $200 million deficit in 1992, I would let your readers decide if the Flat Tax is a fair tax.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
From The Desk Of The Mayor
By Mayor Michael Reina
Spring Seasonal News From Jackson JACKSON – Although we should be thankful that we had a fairly mild winter, we were unfortunate enough to be right in the path of Winter Storm Jonas. This storm packed a punch as it made landfall and crippled the East Coast with high winds and heavy snow in excess of 2 feet in many areas. Grocery stores were being stripped of bread, milk and other essentials as residents prepared to be homebound
for a wintry weekend. With that behind us I am very happy that spring is upon us and the warmer weather is headed our way. With the warmer weather comes the increase in traffic and the presence of children and pets enjoying the outdoors, so we need to increase awareness of our surroundings. Please stay aware of the activities happening around you to ensure the safety of our residents and visitors.
Another way of ensuring safety is to limit distractions while driving. Distracted driving activities include using your cell phones, texting, and eating, just to name a few. Please refrain from these activities while driving for your safety as well as others. As promised, our Spray Park is getting the finishing touches and will be ready to open in June. I’m sure this park will be a welcomed addition
to our already sports-friendly Justice Complex. Parents will be able to watch their younger children enjoying this water feature while the older ones are using the sports fields for practices and games. We’d love to see our families taking advantage of this latest addition to our sports complex. The increase in outdoor activities is not always a pleasant one. Unfortunately this is the time of year we see
an increase in vandalism and graffiti. If you see any type of activity you feel is inappropriate or illegal, please notify the proper authorities. Let’s work together to keep our parks safe and clean for our children, in addition to keeping our township aesthetically pleasing. On that note, keep an eye out for our upcoming Township events, such as Food Trucks and Fireworks in June, and Jackson Day in September.
Mayor Michael Reina We hope everyone can join us for some community fun! In ending I thank you for taking the time to read this and if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call our office. Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable spring season.
Open Space, Farmland Preservation Funding Bill Advances NEW JERSEY – The General Assembly approved legislation that Assemblyman Ron Dancer sponsored to implement constitutionally dedicated funding for the state’s open space, farmland and historic preservation programs. “Through consistent public support, New Jerseyans have
made it clear they want land available for parks, recreational facilities and farmland,” said Dancer, R-Ocean. “They understand that providing funding for open space, farmland and historic preservation programs is an important investment in our economy and helps improve the overall quality of life
in the Garden State. This measure ensures that the will of the people is followed,” Dancer said. Voters approved an amendment to the state constitution in 2014 that changed the amounts allocated to various environmental programs funded through annual corporation business tax rev-
enues. Known as the “Preserve New Jersey Act,” the bill (A780/S969) continues to dedicate four percent of corporation business tax revenues for various environmental programs. That is including 71 percent for open space, farmland and historic site preservation
and for flood-prone areas from the current fiscal year through fiscal year 2019. The remaining 29 percent is earmarked for water resources programs and projects, hazardous substance discharge remediation programs, underground storage tank programs and hazardous substance dis-
charge cleanup performed by the state. Beginning in July 2020, the total amount increases to six percent with 78 percent dedicated to open space, farmland and historic site preservation and flood-prone areas. The remaining 22 percent would be used for the other programs stated above.
From The Desk Of Congressman Chris Smith NEW JERSEY – Congressman Chris Smith (NJ04) introduced “Kevin and Avonte’s Law” (H.R. 4919) to help protect children with developmental disabilities, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and seniors with Alzheimer’s, who are prone to wandering. This legislation will make grants available to law enforcement agencies and non-profits to provide training to prevent wandering and implement lifesaving technology programs to find individuals who have wandered. “We all empathize with a parent who learns that their child is missing, including and especially when that child has autism or another developmental disability,” said Smith, who co-chairs both the Congressional Autism Caucus and the Alzheimer’s Disease Task
Smith Legislation Named After Autistic Boys Who Drowned Force. “When children with a disability or seniors with Alzheimer’s do wander, time and training are essential to ensure their safe return.” Wandering, which is also referred to as elopement, occurs when an individual leaves a safe area or a caretaker. Wandering is a safety concern for both seniors with Alzheimer’s and children with developmental disability, such as autism. It is estimated that 60 percent of individuals with Alzheimer’s and 49 percent of children with autism have wandered and we know that the results can be devastating: The legislation is named in honor of two boys with autism, Kevin Curtis and Avonte Oquendo, who both wandered from safety and tragically drowned. “My home state of New
Jersey has the highest prevalence rate of autism in the country, with 1 in 41 children on the spectrum—a 12 percent increase in the last two years. While wandering safety and prevention programs for children with autism are currently in place and making a positive impact through law enforcement agencies, I’ve heard from constituents that there aren’t enough resources to support these critical programs and that families who need them don’t have access,” Smith said. This legislation will reauthorize and expand an existing program, the Missing Alzheimer’s Disease Patient Alert Program, to include children with a developmental disability—such as autism—and rename it the “Missing Americans Alert Program.” The Missing
Americans Alert Program will be used to provide grants to law enforcement agencies, public safet y agencies, and non-profit organizations to promote initiatives that will reduce the risk of injury and death relating to the wandering characteristics of some children with autism, as well as individuals with Alzheimer’s. Kevin and Avonte’s Law will reauthorize the program for five years, with an annual funding level of $2 million dollars. “Having worked with the Alzheimer’s and Autism communities for years, I know how important this program can be in advancing the health and safety of persons who wonder as well as advancing awareness and education about the problem,” Smith said. “What is shocking is that
while almost half of all children with autism wander from safety, only half of those affected families have received any guidance or training on addressing the concern and keeping their child safe, according to a study published in Pediatrics.” Smith said the funding can be used to provide proactive educational programing to prevent wandering and assist in locating missing individuals, as well as innovative locative technology to help find those who may wander. “According to the Alzheimer’s Association, half Alzheimer’s patients who wander will suffer serious injury, sometimes fatal, if not found within the first 24 hours,” Smith noted. “This legislation will provide funding to law enforcement
agencies and non-profits to help implement locative tracking technology programs for individuals with dementia/disability and implement a notification or communications system of alerts,” he said. Smith’s legislation is the House companion to the Senate’s Kevin and Avonte’s Law, which was introduced on March 1, 2016 and has the support of Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley. This much needed, bipartisan legislation is supported by a number of Alzheimer’s, ch ild ren’s, a nd aut ism groups, including the Alzheimer’s Association, the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, Autism Speaks, the Autism Society, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, and The ARC.

Township Addresses Vandalism
By Catherine Galioto JACKSON – Woodlane Park faced vandalism recently, in what officials said was the latest incident of defacing township property. On April 7, the township posted it received a report out of Woodlane Park, where vandals had coated the swings with a silver, grease-like substance and reportedly vandalized the restrooms. Jackson Police and the township public works department responded. In a post on its Facebook page, the township decried the actions and said this type of incident is not simply illegal but also wastes the town’s resources in spending additional money to clean up vandalism: “Vandalism is a deliberate destruction of property. This destruction not only sets the township back in our efforts to improve our parks but it is illegal. Vandalism is a criminal act and is punishable by law.
The Township spends thousands of dollars to ensure these parks are clean and safe for our children yet they are defaced in one single act of willful vandalism, from complete destruction to foul language, obscenities, etc.” The township has asked residents to be on the lookout for suspects but also to report incidents of vandalism so they can be quickly addressed: “Please know that the township, and our police force, are doing all we can to fix this and prevent it from happening again, but we need to ask for the resident’s assistance. If anyone sees any type of activity that looks inappropriate or illegal, please report it to the proper authorities. It’s important that we work together and keep our eyes and ears open, for the safety and well being of our children.” The reach the police department, call 732-928-1111.

Camp Invention To Come To OC
OCEAN COUNTY – Camp Invention, the nation’s premier summer enrichment day camp program, supported by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and a product of the National Inventors Hall of Fame, is coming to the following locations: Bayville Elementary School from June 27 to 30. Silver Bay Elementary from July 18 to 21. Jackson School District from August 1 to August 4. For students entering grades one through six, Camp Invention is a weeklong adventure that will turn the summer from ordinary to extraordinary through hands-on problem solving, using science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Camp Invention provides an opportunity for inventive young minds to exercise their creativity and use their imagination in ways they don’t normally get to in the classroom. Program participants do not realize they are learning and developing new skills as they build prototypes, take things apart, explore different types of technology and so much more. Alice Opperman, director of curriculum for Emerson Public Schools in Emerson, NJ, shared the following thoughts on Camp Invention. “The hands-on curriculum helps to further insert curiosity into a child’s
everyday lifestyle. As the need for skilled STEM professionals increases, we believe we are setting our students up for success by offering programs like Camp Invention.” This year’s Camp Invention curriculum is called “Epic,” inspired by some of our nation’s most brilliant minds including experienced educators, Inductees of the National Inventors Hall of Fame and developed in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. “Epic” features hands-on modules like CrickoBot, where campers construct and personalize a DIY solar-powered cricket and a unique habitat; Epic Park, where campers work in teams to design an eco-adventure park; I Can Invent: Maker Studio, where campers brainstorm product ideas and build original prototypes using real tools and components found in everyday devices and The Lab: Where Pigs Fly, where children can discover the science of slime, demolition, electronic sound, giant squid and coding. Local programs are facilitated and taught by educators who reside and teach in the community. Camp Invention serves more than 94,000 students every year through nearly 1,400 camps across the nation.

OCEAN COUNTY – This year’s theme for National Sexually Transmitted Disease (STS) Month is “Talk. Test. Treat.” “The only way to avoid getting an STD is not to have vaginal, anal or oral sex. However, if you are sexually active or thinking of becoming sexually active, to protect your health, it is important that you: talk openly and honestly with your partner(s) and your healthcare provider about sexual health and STDs; get tested, it’s the only way to know for sure if you have an STD and if you test positive for an STD, work with your doctor to get the correct treatment,” said Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health coordinator. Regenye added, “Although young people ages 15 to 24 and men who have sex with men continue to be at greatest risk for infection, individual risk behaviors aren’t the only cause. Environmental, social and cultural factors contribute to the higher STD burden, including high numbers of STD cases in these populations and difficulty accessing quality health care. The Ocean County Health Department offers STD clinics every Wednesday eve-
ning at the Health Department main site at 175 Sunset Ave., Toms River and every second and fourth Thursday evening at 333 Haywood Road, Manahawkin. Testing is provided to determine if someone is infected with syphilis, gonorrhea or chlamydia. If another STD is detected, medication will be provided. Registration is from 4:30 to 6 p.m. The clinic visit will include several steps: registration, interview and a blood draw and exam. The results and any necessary medications are provided once the results of the screening tests are made available by the laboratory. Medication is provided free for those who are symptomatic. During the same visit, a client may also choose to get tested for HIV. A certified counselor will explain in detail the process and results of the test. The Health Education Unit of the OCHD also provides STD education in schools. You can call 732-341-9700, ext. 7234 for information or to schedule an appointment. Visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org.

Six Flags Expands Liquor License By Catherine Galioto JACKSON – Six Flags’ Great Adventure asked the township council for permission to add park locations that its liquor license covers. That means the theme park would have more spots it could legally serve alcohol. Called a place-to-place license transfer, such changes must be approved by the township council, which it did at its early April meeting. The change means Great Adventure can serve alcohol at these additional spots inside the park: Go Fresh Hurricane Harbor, Frontier Drink and Sky Bar. The director of the Division of the Alcoholic Beverage Control and police chief were forwarded the updated license information, for it to become effective. The alcoholic license transfer was approved at the April 12 township council meeting.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
A Magical Voyage Through Your Ear Imagine yourself miniaturized and given the opportunity to take a grand tour through your hearing mechanism. For the purpose of illustration, your trip is being booked with Eartrak, a subsidiary of Amtrak. Eartrak departs from your ear canal and is scheduled to make stops at the tympanic membrane, ossicular chain, oval window, cochlea and auditory nerve. The trip begins now! Eartrak slowly moves through your ear canal ... with most of you noticing that your ear canal is composed of cartilage and bone, as well as glands, which produce earwax and help maintain the temperature within that space. Eartrak enters your tympanic membrane or eardrum, which vibrates in response to sound. The tympanic membrane is composed of three layers of skin and attached to the membrane are three tiny bones (malleus, incus, stapes), which make up the ossicular chain. The ossicular chain vibrates in response to eardrum vibration and sends Eartrak through the middle ear
space into the inner ear space (i.e., cochlea) through the oval window. The cochlea is snail shaped and is composed of many labyrinths and hair cells, which move in response to sound vibration. Eartrak slowly moves through the hearing mechanism until it reaches the auditory nerve (i.e., the 8th cranial nerve), which takes the auditory impulses and sends it up to the brain for interpretation. Your hearing mechanism is quite complicated. Although hearing aids will help compensate for your hearing loss (to some degree), you will never hear like you were 20 years old. That’s why it is important to have realistic expectations about the benefits of amplification. Before purchasing a hearing aid, it is important that you discuss (with your audiologist or dispenser) all the benefits and all the limitations of wearing a hearing aid. Being prepared (particularly if you are a first time hearing aid user) will significantly increase your satisfaction with your hearing instrument.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

Freeholders Raise Awareness About Autism
OCEAN COUNTY – Noting the number of children diagnosed with autism continues to increase, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders is doing its part to raise awareness by recognizing April as Autism Awareness Month. “The statistics are compelling,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly. “We are joining the chorus of numerous agencies and organizations highlighting the importance of education and raising awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorder.” Autism Spectrum Disorder is a biologically-based disorder that impacts the development and functioning of a person’s verbal and non-verbal communication skills, social interactions and patterns of behavior. Autism is estimated to affect one in 41 children in New Jersey, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The earlier a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder is identified and connected to services, the sooner services can be provided to ensure the child is able to reach their full potential. In addition to proclaiming the month of April as
Autism Awareness Month, county government employees participated in the “Light It Up Blue for Autism” campaign, wearing blue to raise awareness. Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari noted the importance of joining with the state’s Congressional delegation in calling for more and better screenings of young children as well as early intervention for those children diagnosed with autism. “A report just issued by the Centers for Disease Control found that New Jersey’s autism rate in children has jumped 12 percent,” Vicari said. “Autism now impacts 1 in every 41 children born in New Jersey. “As a lifelong educator, I have seen the difference early intervention can make,” Vicari said. He added a growing concern is the increasing number of senior citizens who are caring for their autistic adult children. “As hairman of Senior Services for Ocean County, I’m calling on our leaders from all levels of government to join forces and find a solution to this challenge,” Vicari said. “The time to act is now. Together we can find a solution.”

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
How Aspirin Stops Nerve Pain We take for granted the comfort we feel in our hands and feet, but some people have lost that comfort, and instead suffer all day long with strange nerve-related concerns. There is new research about aspirin that could help you, but first let’s talk about nerve pain, or “neuropathy.” It feels like you are touching or stepping on pins and needles. It can affect you all over, not just your hands and feet. Depending on various factors (race, age, weight, alcohol consumption, insulin and A1c), your experience of neuropathy may also include pain, vibration or buzzing sensations, lightheadedness, burning sensations (even in your tongue), trigeminal neuralgia or cystitis. Recognizing what your neuropathy stems from is critical to you getting well. For some, it is due to a vitamin deficiency, like vitamin B12 or probiotics, which help you to manufacture your own B12 in the gut. For others, it could be the wine you drink with dinner because wine is a potent drug mugger of B1 (thiamine), which protects your nerve coating. By a mile, the most common cause of neuropathy is diabetes. Approximately half of all people with diabetes experience diabetic neuropathies, mainly in the hands and feet. Some doctors will tell you that maintaining healthy blood glucose will reverse neuropathy, but that’s not true. The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial found that even intensive glucose control is insufficient to control the risk of diabetic neuropathy. It’s tough love, but I need to say it: Uncontrolled neuropathy can cause a 25
percent higher cumulative risk of leg amputation. So gaining control is important for your independence. I’ve written about natural supplements for neuropathy in the past (articles are archived at suzycohen. com), and you can have a free e-book “Spices that Heal,” which offers more natural advice (get it by signing up for my email newsletter). New research was published last March in Current Diabetes Reports. Scientists confirmed that targeting inflammatory cytokines can help relieve diabetic neuropathy. Oftentimes, that bad gateway called NF Kappa B (NFKB) opens its floodgates and spits out pro-inflammatory cytokines like COX-2 (Celebrex lowers this), nitric oxide synthase, lipoxygenase, TNF alpha and a lot of pain-causing interleukins (IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8). The researchers reported that something as simple as salicylate therapy could help reduce some of these cytokines, as well as circulating glucose, triglycerides, C reactive protein and free fatty acids. When you think of salicylates, please understand this is a broad group of compounds found naturally in the plant kingdom. Salicylate is the main ingredient in aspirin and other analgesics, both prescribed and over-the-counter. Salicylates include spearmint, peppermint (even in mint toothpaste) and in muscle rubs. White willow bark is an herb that is morphed and turned into aspirin. They’re not right for everyone, so ask your doctor about salicylates for neuropathy. Also ask if you can have a blood test to evaluate some of the pro-inflammatory markers I noted above.

Support Group To Start Meeting In May OCEAN COUNTY – Forever In Our Hearts is an Ocean County support group to help those whose life has been touched by a suicide to start and continue on a path toward healing. Losing someone to suicide is one of life’s cruelest tragedies. Forever In Our Hearts was founded to help those who find themselves in that forsaken place. Forever In Our Hearts is a public self-help support group built on a base of volunteers that conduct monthly meetings to offer support to those who are left behind. The co-founder, Walter Donovan said, “We are interdenominational by our leadership, yet nondenominational by our doctrine. We
welcome all who want the comfort, support and healing that the meetings can give, regardless of religious belief or lack thereof. This is not to say that we are not spiritual. We are a faith based organization because we believe that faith is our strongest healing medicine.” Meetings are held at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 130 Cable Ave, Beachwood on the second Saturday of each month at 1 p.m. The first meeting will be held on May 14. Visit the group’s Facebook page for more information including updates to meeting times. Call 732-269-3236 with questions about the meetings.

Distracted Driving Month
OCEAN COUNTY – “April is recognized as Distracted Driving Month and it seems that cell phone use, whether talking on the phone and even more dangerously, texting while driving, is the culprit,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “All of this new technology in vehicles is causing us to become more distracted behind the wheel than ever before. This has become a major public health/safety issue.” Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Depa r t ment (OCH D) P ublic Health coordinator, said, “In a recent study, drivers, 53 percent of them, believe if manufacturers put “infotainment” dashboards and hands-free technology in vehicles, they must be safe. Not true, states the National Safet y Cou ncil; i n fact, these tech nologies dist ract our brains even long after you have used them.” Regenye added, “Make no mistake, this technology is about convenience, not safety.” He continued, “Many distractions exist while driving, but cell phones are a top distraction because so many drivers use them for long periods of time each day. Almost everyone has seen a driver distracted by a cell phone, but when you are the one who is distracted, you often don’t realize that driver is you. With some state laws focusing on handheld bans and car-makers putting ha nd s-f ree tech nolog y i n veh icles, it’s no wonder people are confused. However, while many drivers honestly believe they are making the safe choice by using a hands-free device, it’s just not true. Your brain remains distracted by the conversation.” The officials said that is important that we remember for ourselves and constantly remind our young drivers of the dangers of cell phone use while driving. Cell phones show the number calling and most can record messages, so encourage drivers to pull over when they have the opportunity and either call back then or listen to the message.

Holocaust Remembrance Events At Ocean County College TOMS RIVER – The Center for Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Education at Ocean County College (OCC) invites the community to attend its 2016 Holocaust Remembrance Program from May 2 to 6 on the OCC Main Campus, College Drive. Events are free and open to the public. May 2 – Candle Lighting and Memorial Service: Flagpole, Campus Mall, 2:30 p.m. World Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day known as Yom ha Shoah, is the day of commemoration for the approximately six million Jews and five million others who perished in the Holocaust as a result of the actions carried out by Nazi Germany and its accessories, and for the Jewish resistance in that period. It was inaugurated in 1953, anchored by a law signed by the Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and President Yitzhak Ben-Zvi. Join the annual remembrance program with Rabbi Moshe Gourarie of Chabad House, Toms River; Mordechai Grubin, Alumni Representative to the OCC Board of Trustees; and Dr. Ali Botein-Furrevig, OCC Associate Professor of English and Director of the Center for Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Education. May 3 – A Survivor’s Odyssey and Legacy: Lecture Hall, Room 104, Gateway, 12:30 p.m. This year’s keynote speaker is Manny Lindenbaum. In October 1938, the Lindenbaum family was part of a mass deportation from Germany to Poland with one day’s notice because, although German citizens, they were of Polish descent. In 1939, just days before the Nazi invasion, Manny and his brother escaped from Poland to England as refugees on the famous Kindertransport. In 2014, at the age of 83, Manny retraced his refugee journey backwards, from Poland to Germany, on a bicycle. He made the journey, along with his grandchildren, to raise money for HIAS programs in Chad in honor of World Refugee Day. In 2015, Manny was invited to speak at a reception at the White House and, along with his granddaughter Lauren, participated in the lighting of the Hanukkah menorah alongside President and Mrs. Obama. Manny uses his experiences to be an advocate and voice for refugees worldwide and to speak to audiences, especially children, on the dangers of bullying and hate: “I believe that when we stand by and listen as others are put down, we become part of the problem; when we speak out against hatred we become part of the solution.” May 4 – Two Women, Two Scars: Room 203, Bartlett Hall, 8 a.m. A film viewing and discussion of “Inheritance”, the award-winning PBS documentary chronicling the 1994 meeting in Poland between Monica Hertwig, daughter of Nazi commandant Amon Goeth and Monmouth County resident Helen Jonas Rosenzsweig who lived enslaved under Goeth’s roof as his servant and prey for nearly two years during the Holocaust. This is the story of two women whose sorrows and angers intersect in the haunting memory of one man. Discussion and Q&A led by Botein-Furrevig. May 5 – Only a Number: A True Story of the Struggle to Survive, to Love, and to Re-
member: Room 203, Bartlett Hall, 12:30 p.m. Hamilton filmmaker Steven Besserman tells the story of his mother, Aranka, a Holocaust survivor, through her own words. Aranka grew up in Hungary during WWII and relates the horrors she witnessed and endured at the hands of the Nazis. Besserman visits the sites where his parents grew up, the camp where they first met, and he discusses the lasting impact the Holocaust had on victims and later generations. The film is not only a true documentary but a love story: Aranka and Josef met in a concentration camp separated by a barbed wire fence, without the aid of a common language, and ravaged by torture, starvation, and brutality. They fell in love and gave each other the strength to survive their final weeks of captivity. The story tells one of millions of stories of Jews who were “only a number” to the Nazis. Discussion and Q&A led by Botein-Furrevig. May 6 – From Communism to Camps to America: My Mother’s Story: Lecture Hall, Room 104, Gateway, 12:30 p.m. Lecture by Dr. Amy Gilley, OCC Dean of School of Arts & Humanities. Towards the end of WWII, many refugees fleeing communist regimes in the Baltic region found themselves in Nazi occupied Germany where they were forced to work in factories alongside camp inmates. When the camps were liberated, these non-German refugees were considered displaced persons. Dr. Gilley’s talk focuses on her mother’s experiences, f leeing Estonia in 1944, spending the remainder of the war in Germany, before eventually, finding her way to America. Says Gilley: “My mother’s story goes beyond survival; her experiences gave me valuable lessons and insights into the depths and the heights of humanity. Genocide and war and tyranny never seem to end, but the human faces are often forgotten.” May 6 – Nazi Propoganda & the Holocaust: Lecture Hall, Room 104, Gateway, 2 p.m. Ernie Arian, OCC graduate and former intern for OCC’s Center for Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Education, is currently at Rutgers University majoring in History & Genocide Studies. Using lecture and film, this presentation will cover how, following the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, Hitler established a Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda headed by Joseph Goebbels. The Ministry’s aim was to ensure that the Nazi message was successfully communicated through art, music, theater, films, books, radio, educational materials, and the press. There were several audiences for Nazi propaganda. Germans were reminded of the struggle against foreign enemies and Jewish subversion. During periods preceding legislation or executive measures against Jews, propaganda campaigns created an atmosphere tolerant of violence against Jews. For more information, contact Dr. Ali Botein-Furrevig, OCC Associate Professor of English, and Director of the Center for Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Education at 732-255-0400, ext. 2368, or abotein-furrevig@ocean.edu.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Cash Rules Everything Around Me
Dear Joel, My wife is a compulsive spender. Half the groceries she buys end up in the garbage. We have enough canned goods to last us for years. When I go into her closets, the amount of items that have new tickets hanging off of them is appalling. The same goes for her shoes. When it comes to holidays, she treats everyone with the same over-indulgence. I look at the credit card bills and am sickened by the wasted dollars each month. Answer: While it sounds as if there is a problem, you don’t tell me whether or not she works and is spending her own money. Without knowing
whether or not she contributes to household expenses, I don’t want to judge her behavior. There are many people who buy luxury cars, and that may add up to significantly more than what she is spending. As I don’t get a perfect read on what is truly going on in your home, I will suggest counseling if what you are describing is truly a disorder. There are medications that could help if it is compulsive behavior. Best of luck.. Questions for Joel? Write to preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com.

Freeholders continues to do all it can to assure it is not threatened by any future actions from the Base Realignment and Closure Commission which could result in a base closure,” said Freeholder Director Jack Kelly. “I appreciate the work of our Natural Lands Trust Committee
under the leadership of Freeholder Bartlett in preserving land that benefits the environment and protects a military base important to our homeland security.” Specif ically, t he rei mbu r sement s covers the preservation of 261 acres in Jackson Township, about 40 acres in Plumsted Township and 147 acres in Manchester Township. The total purchase price of the six properties was
–Photo courtesy Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst The Lakehurst-side of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst will be the site of aircraft operations that may cause louder-than-normal noise through August around Lakehurst and Manchester, officials said in March. The county has bought $3.5 million in land that will be preserved as a buffer to the noise.
about $3.5 million, officials said. “We’re very happy,” said Bartlett. “We weren’t guaranteed this when we did it. We’re committed to doing everything we can within the perimeter to protect these f light plans from development.” Preserving land near bases also helps keep the base from ending on the BRAC list, which consists of bases slated for closure. “It would seem to me by logic, that if I was the federal government and were giving us $1.6 million to preserve land, the base was going to stay,” said Bartlett. In order to protect the Joint Base, Ocean County has taken a leading role in developing a Joint Land Use Study with Burlington County. The preservations have been funded through an open space tax that was approved by county voters. The $1.6 million will be returned to the National Lands Trust, the county agency responsible for open space purchases, to be reused for additional preservation projects. Under the partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense, Ocean County has received almost $8.8 million toward the purchase of 23 properties totaling 4,279 acres located in the f ive mile buffer zone around the base. “The Joint Base has the second largest work force in New Jersey,” said Kelly, who serves as liaison to the base. “Its economic value and its military value are immeasurable when it comes to this country, this state and this county.”

Workers’ Compensation Checklist By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Stacie A. Brustman, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates The New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act allows for numerous benefits should you sustain an injury out of and in the course of your employment. Please allow this article to provide you with a checklist to determine whether you are receiving the appropriate benefits under the law. Did you report your accident or injury to your employer? By statute you are provided a short period of time to actually notify your employer of the injury. The most restrictive notice requirement is applied when a hernia is alleged, as you have only 48 hours to report this. Although other accidents and injuries allow for more leniency, as you may be entitled to medical treatment, all injuries should be reported as soon as possible. Have you sought medical treatment? After providing notice to your employer that you have sustained an injury, you should seek medical attention immediately, should same be necessary. The longer that one waits to request medical treatment, the harder it will be to causally connect the injury to the incident at work. In addition, injuries often respond better to appropriate medical treatment provided in a reasonable time, rather than allowing the injury to worsen before attempting treatment. Has your employer notified the workers’ compensation insurance carrier? This is important so that you are provided with a claim number to provide to medical providers to insure payment on your behalf. Also, although you provide notice to your employer, future endeavors relative to the claim will be more efficiently completed if the carrier is immediately put on notice. Has your employer or its workers’ compensation insurance carrier provided you with a medical professional with whom to seek medical treatment? On some occasions, the employer may indicate that you should seek treatment and bring the employer any outstanding medical bills. This is contrary to the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act and usually signifies
that the carrier has not yet been notified. It is important that you understand that the employer, through its carrier, has the right to choose the physicians from whom you receive medical treatment for compensable injuries. A physician you choose, with the intention of providing bills to the employer, is not authorized and may not be recognized by the carrier in the future. Is the physician with whom you are treating providing you with reasonable and necessary medical treatment? It is important that you provide the authorized medical professional with all of your medical complaints that are related to the compensable injury, and that all of those complaints are addressed by that physician. Are you receiving temporary disability benefits through the workers’ compensation carrier for 70 percent of your standard average weekly wage? This is required in the event that the authorized physician indicates that you are temporary totally disabled, or able to return to modified duty which cannot be accommodated by your employer. Temporary disability through your employer is not the same as disability through the state and does not need to be applied for. In the event that you are instructed to apply for disability through the state, you are not getting the benefit as provided by statute. After completion of your medical treatment and temporary disability benefits, have you received compensation for the permanent disability arising out of your compensable injury? If you have received benefits, have you contacted an attorney to determine whether these benefits are consistent with the injury and disability you sustained? Although this checklist may not be comprehensive, it is a starting point to determine whether you are receiving the appropriate benefits under the law. Should any of the above not be consistent with the benefits you are receiving, there are actions that may be taken by an attorney to bring your matter before the court so that the issues may be resolved.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of April 23-April 29 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You believe the sun will rise even in the dead of night. In the week ahead you will have faith in your partner, your lover, or your friends even when a relationship is unpredictable or temporarily seems to be out of steam. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make your way like a famous mild mannered reporter in the week ahead. People may be more impressed with your demonstration of perfect courtesy and attention to duty than your sparkling social skills. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Wishes may not be granted if you take people and things for granted. To appear tolerant and agreeable you might let someone get away with much too much in the week ahead. Be miserly with the benefit of the doubt. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Join forces with others for the best results. In the upcoming week when you have a major task to perform call on a friend to get the show on the road. Someone else may have the willpower and aplomb make ideas a reality. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ve heard about the leopard and his spots. Those spots seldom change, so don’t try to change him. Someone you know might act impulsively this week and clash with your preconceived notions of what is proper. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may be blessed by having the biggest plate at the salad bar of life. In the week ahead you can enjoy the fruits of your labors as well as the appreciation other kindhearted individuals. Avoid making extravagant gestures. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Too many re-
strictions can lead to rebellion. In the week ahead you may be riled up by restless need for a more exciting social life. Major accomplishments are possible if you have the wisdom to ignore passing distractions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Try to work within the parameters and color inside the lines. A flamboyant style will not help you get ahead this week. Roll up your shirt sleeves and finish up whatever you start. Casual comments could be criticized. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Set your personal bar as high as possible and exceed the expectations of others. By pleasing yourself first you may bring pleasure for others in the week ahead. Accept your mistakes and vow to do better next time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The achievement of your ambitions requires hard work and persistence. A quick fix can cause more damage than good. If it seems that a change is needed in the week ahead take your time to consider all angles. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Impulsive purchases appeal to packrats. In the week ahead you might be attracted to unique things that quickly lose your interest. Loved ones can remind you that you are immersed in too much of a good thing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are filled with sincerity and want to offer assurances. Be aware that even if you have the best of intentions that something could change the situation in the week to come. Don’t get stuck making a promise you can’t honor.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen The Secret To Making Creamy Mashed Potatoes
By Wolfgang Puck
“What’s the secret...?” Those words begin so many of the questions people ask me in my restaurants, or when they meet me in public. It sometimes feels to me as if everyone believes there’s some special storehouse of magical knowledge locked away somewhere, and only professional chefs have the key. To tell you the truth, there really are “secrets” that chefs know. But it’s not necessarily because they have been initiated into a magical society, like some sort of culinary version of Hogwarts from the Harry Potter stories. Over the many years all of us who make our livings in the kitchen spend preparing thousands upon thousands of meals every year, we simply learn what works best to transform food into something amazing: commonly available ingredients that, alone or in combination, can brighten or deepen flavor; cooking techniques that amplify taste, texture or color; and even special tools that make cooking easier and the results better. Real magic starts to happen when two or more secrets, often very simple ones, join together. That’s certainly the case in the following recipe for my version of one of the most popular side dishes there is: mashed potatoes. The secrets begin with the potatoes themselves. Though you can make mashed potatoes with ordinary russets, I love to use the now widely available Yukon Gold variety for their naturally rich, buttery flavor and creamy texture. Next comes the way I cook them. While I cut them into relatively even pieces that will cook through in the same time, those pieces aren’t too small because they’d absorb more water. Who wants watery potatoes? For that same reason, after they’re just tender enough to pierce easily, I immediately drain them and return them to the pan to dry out over low heat for a few minutes. Then comes the mashing itself, and my big secret here is that I don’t mash them - I rice them. A ricer is a simple, inexpensive tool that looks a little like a giant nutcracker. I press the soft potatoes - and the whole garlic cloves I cook with them for more flavor - through tiny holes that turn the potatoes into tiny rice-like particles. However, if you don’t have a ricer you can use a hand-held masher. The final trick won’t surprise you
at all: I enrich the puree with cream and butter. Sure, you could use milk, buttermilk or even nonfat milk, and they’ll still taste delicious. But every once in a while, your dietary needs allowing, maybe you can spend a few calories on a great yet simple feat of culinary sorcery. CREAMY GARLIC MASHED POTATOES Serves 4 1 3/4 pounds (875 g) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into halves or quarters Kosher salt 3 large cloves garlic, peeled 1/2 cup (125 mL) heavy cream Pinch nutmeg 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into chunks, at room temperature Freshly ground black pepper Chopped fresh chives or Italian parsley, for garnish Put the potatoes in a large saucepan. Add just enough cold water to cover them and season with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Add the garlic and partially cover the pan. Cook until the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a wooden pick or the tip of a small, sharp knife, about 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander. Return them to the same pan. Place the pan over medium-low heat, partially cover, and leave until any excess water evaporates and the potatoes are dry, shaking the pan or stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes. Bring the cream to a simmer in a heavy small saucepan. Meanwhile, working in batches, rice the potatoes and garlic back into the same pan you cooked them in. (Or use a hand-held masher, mashing the potatoes and garlic in the pan.) Add the nutmeg to the potatoes. Place the pan over low heat. A little at a time, stir in the hot cream and about half of the butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm. Put the remaining butter in a small skillet over medium heat and cook, watching carefully to avoid burning, until it turns a nut-brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, transfer the potatoes to a heated serving bowl and make ridges in the surface with the moistened bowl of a serving spoon. Drizzle the surface of the potatoes with the brown butter, garnish with chives and serve immediately.
