School Transportation Department Not Privatizing
–Bus photo courtesy Jackson School District By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – The township Board of Education vigorously refuted rumors circulating—from where, they don’t know—that the district is looking to privatize its transportation department. What is true is the garage space the school district has now is too small to accommodate growing needs. What is also true is the district is looking at numerous options to solve that problem. Board member Scott Sargent, who is on the board’s transportation committee, said he will never let control of the transportation department leave the district and be the responsibility of an outside organization, especially where the township’s children are involved.

A Field Of Flags, Each Waving In Memorial
By Catherine Galioto The patriotism of Memorial Day could possibly mean decorating your home with several small flags to adorn your lawn. A couple flags lining the property, to give it some red, white and blue. The symbolism is heavier at Southern Regional High School. The flags there number more than 6,800. Student volunteers carefully line them up outside the school, in a tremendous display that turns nearly the entire front of the campus from a green lawn into one flickering with flags – the Field of Flags. And each 12-by-18-inch f lag represents a life lost – 6,848 flags – of U.S. soldiers in the global War on Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan. The display is an annual tradition for Southern Regional, whose student volunteers and school staff help to spraypaint the straight lines for the grid that make up the careful placement of flags. Then, there is the tremendous task of placing them, which began May 26.
Southern’s Air Force Junior ROTC cadets place the flags throughout the day. Of those more than 6,800 flags, those with New Jersey roots number more than 125. One stands for Luigi Marciante of Jackson. Army Cpl. Luigi Marciante Jr. Marciante, 25, died September 20, 2007 serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom after enlisting in 2004. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, Stryker Brigade Combat Team, Fort Lewis, Wash. Marciante died of wounds sustained when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle in Muqdadiyah, Iraq, about 50 miles northeast of Baghdad. Born in 1981 in Elizabeth, Marciante had married in 2006 and in 2007 became a father to son Lorenzo, recently moving to Jackson with his wife Stephanie of Brick, who was an Army MP. He died a newlywed and new father, and his funeral services in Elizabeth were attended by Jackson and Elizabeth police.
Army Cpl. Luigi Marciante Jr. Marciante is remembered as “a beloved husband, father, son, and hero to all who knew him,” according to his published obituary. “He was renowned (Flags - See Page 4)

Twp. Joins Opposition To Gas Rate Hike
By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – The Township Council formally opposed a rate hike sought by New Jersey Natural Gas. Adding its voice to a loud chorus of protest, Jackson’s governing body declared such a rate hike would be a burden on its elderly and fixed-income residents, with some possibly having to choose to eat or pay the gas bill. The average customer may see an increase of $21 per month according to
Inside This Week’s Edition
township estimates. “A 24 percent rate hike would be excessive and it would a negative impact across the board on every resident of Jackson, especially seniors and those on fixed incomes,” Council President Robert Nixon told The Jackson Times. New Jersey Natural Gas filed its request with the Board of Public Utilities back in November, saying it has invested more than (Rate - See Page 23)

and cherished for his love of life, sense of humor and uncanny ability to bring happiness to every life he touched.” Field of Flags On May 27, a Memorial Day Service is planned on the Southern Regional site with students and community in attendance. This ceremony is open to all. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held in the auditorium. There will be a more than 100 students participating in the choir, orchestra and student readings. The community is invited to attend this ceremony. The hope is that the Stafford community, as well as the student body, will begin the holiday weekend fully realizing the purpose behind the holiday. The flags will remain in place through the holiday weekend, often drawing crowds who walk among the rows or read the inscriptions from the wreath-laying ceremony or the school’s message board, to reflect as part of Memorial Day. For more information on this project, contact Senior Master Sgt. Mark Irvin at mirvin@srsd.net.
Ocean County Memorial Marciante’s name is joined by 12 others who died in the War on Terror in Ocean County. The names are part of the county memorial in downtown Toms River, where amid the flowers and shrubs near the parking garage and county administration building on Hooper Avenue is black marble, etched with a brightly colored American Flag. It is affixed with 13 bronze nameplates ‑‑ each bearing a name, age, rank, town and date. “Ocean County remembers our fallen heroes in the War Against Terror,” the memorial reads. Army Spc. Christopher Duffy, 26, of Brick, was killed on June 4, 2004 when his convoy was attacked. Marine Sgt. Alan Sherman, 36, of Brick, killed on June 29, 2004 by an explosive device in Baghdad.

“We have no intention of privatizing, as long as I’m sitting here, I have no intention on voting yes on any type of privatizing. Not because of a union perspective, but a safety perspective, a control perspective,” Sargent told The Jackson Times. “There’s no savings when you privatize, in my opinion.” Board President Susan Dey said they are exploring options for dealing with the district’s transportation needs, but privatizing is not on the table. “The Board of Education has nothing in front of us. We have gotten nothing. We went out for an RFP (request for proposal),” Dey said. “The situation is, we outgrew our transportation facility. We’ve had the transportation facility forever, since Jackson started. And as you know, Jackson has busted at the seams.” The Board was to meet with the township to discuss a shared services agreement,
OCEAN COUNTY – The Island Singers Community Chorus will perform its Spring Concert, “What A Water-Ful World” at four different venues in Ocean County beginning on June 4. June 4, 2:30 p.m. at the Point Pleasant Library, 834 Beaver Dam Road, Point Pleasant Borough. June 11, 7:30 p.m. at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 130 Cable Ave., Beachwood. June 18, 8 p.m. at the Barnegat Community Center, 900 West Bay Ave., Barnegat.
but that meeting was postponed due to the Board’s busy end-of-May and June schedules. At press time, a meeting was not scheduled. School Business Administrator Michelle Richardson put things in perspective: the garage serviced about 70 buses back in the 1980s. Today, that garage services a fleet of 155 buses. “To say we have outgrown that facility would be an enormous understatement,’’ Richardson said. “We have doubled in size and we still have only two and a half vehicle bays to work in. We need to do something about that.’’ School Communications Coordinator Allison Erwin told The Jackson Times the district is only exploring options right now. Those options include possibly using two bays at the municipal maintenance garage and also possibly hiring a vehicle maintenance supervisor and two mechanics to fill two vacant positions. Those positions could be filled by people who are full-time
district employees, or by people who are employed by a company who places them in the district to work. “This is not in any way, shape or form a discussion about outsourcing our entire vehicle maintenance department. This is us recognizing we have logistical issues in a facility that is bursting at the seams and trying to figure out some options to deal with it,” Richardson told The Jackson Times. She said the determination on how to fill those positions will come only after the district reviews the bids that come back and researches all of its options. Bids were due back to the district on May 27. “We are just at the beginning of the process now,’’ she said. “No decisions have been made because we have only just begun to gather the information we need to evaluate our challenges in that facility.’’ Richardson said right now the district does the best it can with the space it has. When the work exceeds the available space, the

district is forced to send buses out to be fixed elsewhere. She said it was important to note that the desire to investigate the district’s options is simply recognition that the district has outgrown the facility. “This has nothing to do with the staff we have now – our vehicle maintenance staff does great work,’’ she said. “What they are able to accomplish, especially in the tight space we have over there, is impressive. These are people who work hard to keep us running and to keep us safe.’’ In addition to exploring options about the open staff positions in that department, the district is also looking into finding other space where those buses could be worked on. Among the ideas is utilizing two bays in the township facility when needed. The district will be talking with the township about that shared service idea. “We have a positive relationship with the town and we are looking forward to exploring that option,” she said. “We are looking at everything.”

Editorial Remember What Memorial Day Is Really About Each passing year, holidays get more and more commercial. And it seems Memorial Day has become one of them. Stores try to one-up each other and offer the best deals in order to bring in the customers. And it works. Most of us can admit to searching the sales fliers, comparing prices of hamburgers and hotdogs, and all of the other “essential” items for our annual get-together to kick off the summer season. After we return home from our trip to the supermarket, we have to begin preparing. There are so many things on the to-do list. Clean the house, mow the lawn, open the pool, decorate, and finally, we must don our aprons and get to work on the tasty barbeque fare that will blanket our counters and tables. With all the planning and shopping, and of course, the celebrating, it’s fairly easy to forget why we have off from work and why the kids are home from school that day. Well, prepare to be reminded. It’s Memorial Day. A day that was meant to honor the brave members of the United States military who gave their lives for this country. Every day, every hour, every minute, and every second, there are men and women who put their lives on the line. Not only do they keep us from physical harm, they fight to ensure that the rights given to us by our forefathers remain intact. Rights that grant us freedom and rights that sometimes get taken for granted. Freedom certainly is not free. We receive a grim reminder of that fact every time the news reports that the lives of yet more American troops have
been lost. Memorial Day is a special day set aside to give us the opportunity to honor those heroes from our nation’s past and present. This weekend, citizens across the country will have the chance to participate in Memorial Day ceremonies in their own communities. But the reality is, most will not attend. We get preoccupied with the festivities of the weekend. But we need to make it priority. Make time to attend a ceremony. Take a few minutes to step away from the party and reflect. Reserve a seat at the table for a serviceman or woman who was killed in action, a gesture that serves as a constant reminder to party guests that there’s more meaning to the weekend than just celebrating the unofficial start of summer. For some families, though, that void at the table is very personal. That empty spot is an outward expression of the hole in their hearts from the loss of someone they have dearly loved. A father, mother, sister, brother, a friend. In any case, a member of the United States Armed Forces who gave everything for love of country. So this Memorial Day, pay tribute to those who have been killed in the line of duty, to the sons and daughters of America who fought and died for our independence. American troops have and continue to battle on the front lines EVERY DAY to protect our freedom. We need to make it our mission to recognize their sacrifice this ONE DAY. One day. One day a year for the ultimate sacrifices of millions of Americans throughout our country’s history. It’s the very least we can do.

Letters To The Editor Mind The Flagpoles For two to three months now, the huge flagpole at the intersection of Lake and Station Roads in Whiting, the one across from Veterans Park, has been missing something: the huge American flag which once adorned it. It is my sincere hope that, with Memorial Day coming fast and Independence Day not far behind, our beautiful f lag will be f lying again there soon! I’ve been waiting patiently for its replacement, but it really shouldn’t wait much longer because these patriotic holidays demand a rapid resolution. And, such a huge flagpole so prominently displayed looks especially offensive without the flag, itself. Thank you for helping me bring this to the attention of “to whom it may concern.” Chet Jelinski Whiting
Remember Potentials For Lyme Gardening and hiking season is in full swing, which means I have Lyme disease on my mind. May is Lyme Disease Aware-
ness Month, but “Lyme season” depends heavily on the weather and climate. Weather and climate also help restrict most Lyme cases to the Midwest and Northeast. New Jersey is one of just 14 states that accounted for 96 percent of confirmed cases in 2014 (per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). I’ve had the tick-borne illness twice since 2012. Both times, I endured months of mysterious and painful symptoms before I was successfully treated. My doctor counseled me to stay quiet about the disease to avoid bad treatment advice, but I consider my story a public service announcement. That’s because Lyme disease, which already infects tens of thousands of Americans each year, could sicken even more people as our climate changes. An assessment of the latest science about the health impacts of climate change recently was released by 13 federal agencies and departments, and one of its key findings is that rising temperatures and changing seasonal patterns will likely allow Lyme-carrying ticks to march northward and to higher elevations. Also, climate change likely will lead to higher tick survival during the winter and an earlier Lyme disease season. Dr. Rick Ostfeld, a disease ecol-

A History Lesson For Conservatives I take this opportunity to reply to the gentlemen who has cherry-picked history to make his argument in the letter “A History Lesson For Liberals.” Yes, President Carter promoted private home ownership, as social scientists have proven time and again that home ownership results in good neighborhoods when people feel invested in them. Some people will have reversals in fortune, and entire towns and cities are effected when industries downsize, lay-off, close and move away, and these citizens should not be vilified or President Carter blamed for these circumstances. Plans and hopes were made, and in many cases succeeded; it is reckless and dishonest to say it was all a waste of tax dollars. Really, who could say the Edsel, Betamax tapes, and Blockbuster would all fail? President Clinton did not repeal a 1933 banking law – Republican majorities in the House and the Senate fulfilled the wishes of their friends on Wall Street and repealed the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. Yes, President Clinton signed it, and some
Democrats voted for it, but it was the big banks who wanted it repealed, for they wanted the wall removed between their commercial and very risky investment operations, they wanted reduced capitol cash-on-deposit requirements and reduced regulations, and the very notion that President Clinton forced this on them is laughable. No one ever forced a banker, any banker, to do anything they didn’t want to do and make a profit at it. Picture, if you will, a desk at a bank or mortgage loan company: on one side a couple with papers summing up all their financial history and hope, and across from them a loan officer with a multi-million or multi-billion dollar organization behind him. Who do you think has the power to make a loan, good or bad? Too many loans were made on inflated figures of salaries, savings and employment, and is documented that loan officers perpetrated those frauds with the approval of their financial institutions. The banks share much of the responsibility. The writer states President Bush foresaw this problem but was stymied by a Democratic Congress. Republicans controlled Congress from the 1994 elections until the 2006 elections, covering six of his eight years in office. And the writer may be the only one who credits President Bush with foresight; what specific action did he take or propose to head off the great recession, not just stop the bleeding from 2007 onward, when the crisis was upon the nation? If the writer wishes to warn us about short-sighted politicians, include the names Newt Gingrich, Dennis Hastert, Trent Lott and Phil Gramm. If you want foresight, remember Byron Dorgan, Democrat from North Dakota, who stood in the Senate in 1999 and questioned whether we should be repealing a law which had protected the nation from violent financial disruptions. Vote wisely. Michael F. Flynn Manahawkin

Energy Audit Highlights Savings For Ocean County OCEAN COUNTY – An energy audit on half a dozen buildings owned and maintained by Ocean County government outlines energy upgrades that could help save almost $1 million annually in energy costs. “This audit is very important to us as we look at ways to reduce costs and improve our energy efficiency,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Buildings and Grounds. “This audit comes with a number of beneficial suggestions that we will be considering for implementation.” The energy audit was undertaken by Ocean County through a program administered by the state Board of Public Utilities. “This is the result of an exhaustive examination of six facilities that receive a lot of traffic both from the public and with our employees,”
Vicari said. “That is why they were chosen for this initial review.” The six facilities include the Ocean County Courthouse, the Ocean County Administration Building, the Ocean County Jail, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, the Ocean County Justice Complex and the parking garage all in downtown Toms River. “These facilities total 1,022,775 square feet,” Vicari said. “They produce an annual energy bill of $2.3 million,” Vicari said. “A proposed $955,000 reduction is a substantial decrease in our energy bills.” Once the audit is approved by the BPU’s Off ice of Clean Energy, the county can move forward with the recommended cost effective “self-funding” energy efficiency measures and facility upgrades that are designed to reduce operating expenses, save energy and reduce
emissions. “The improvements include upgrades to the lighting systems, automated controls for lighting, upgrades to existing heating and air conditioning systems and some building improvements,” Vicari said. “This audit is another step in the county’s ongoing efforts to conserve energy and to reap the benefits of renewable energy savings.” A combination of different recommendations was made for each building reviewed. For instance, the Ocean County Courthouse had the highest number – eight recommendations – including installation of LED lights, installation of an energy management system that would control the heating and air conditioning temperatures, replacement of the boiler, chiller and air handling units, variable frequency drive controls
Capitol Comments
for the cooling tower to increase efficiency, installation of a fan cooling unit controller and upgrading the domestic hot water heater. Under the program, Vicari said, costs for the improvements would be offset by incentives from the state which could total up to $502,000. And, he said, the money saved on energy could be reallocated to pay for additional energy upgrades. The audit’s recommendations could reap a self-funding potential of $19.3 million and a reserve for modifications and future projects of up to $4 million. “The audit listed at least five energy upgrade suggestions for the majority of the buildings reviewed,” Vicari said. Michael Fiure, director of the Ocean County Office of Management and Budget, said the BPU’s Clean Energy Program promotes
increased energy efficiency and the use of clean, renewable sources of energy. “We began this process in late 2014 to participate in the Local Government Energy Audit to identify cost-justified efficiency measures,” he said. “This audit will provide the Board of Freeholders with various energy alternatives that we can implement.” “I applaud Freeholder Vicari for overseeing this energy audit,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, director of Law and Public Safety. “As we look at our future building needs, this information will be a help in making certain decisions on our energy needs allowing us to meet environmental standards and our desire to be affordable.” Over the course of several months, representatives from DCO Energy, Lawrenceville, visited each county location noted in the
Freeholder Joseph Vicari audit and did a complete review of the buildings. “They looked at electric and natural gas usage, building architectural and engineering drawings, lighting systems, heating and air conditioning equipment and controls, roofs, windows, doorways, occupancy schedules and maintenance practices,” Vicari said. Vicari said the county will review all measures presented for each facility along with funding opportunities made available by the New Jersey Clean Energy Program. Vicari noted the county maintains about 135 buildings that house government services and programs. “This audit is an important first step,” he said.
Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer 12th Legislative District
Bill Helps Veterans Groups Locate Unclaimed Remains Of NJ Vets
N E W J E R SE Y – I n a d v a n c e of M e m o r i a l Day, Assemblyman Ron Dancer has i nt roduced legislation (A3740) that w i l l help ve t e r a n s orga n i zat ions locate a nd identif y the u nclaimed
cremains of veterans in an effort to give them a military burial with honor and respect. “Sadly, many have been abandoned by their families or have no living relatives and their remains
are stored on mor tuar y shelves, in hospitals and other storage facilities,” said Dancer (R-Ocean). “A military burial is one of the ways we show our gratitude to the men and women who have faith-
fully served our nation. “Volunteers of veterans organizations spend an inordinate amount of time trying to locate cremains,” continued Dancer. “Creating an online centralized reporting system will be a tremendous help to veterans groups in their efforts to locate and identify them.” T he bill requires the New Jersey Department of Milit a r y a nd Veterans Affairs (DMVA) to provide a central website r eg i s t r y of u n cl a i m e d veteran cremations for veteran organization locating services.
Ac c o r d i n g t o ve t e rans organizations, veteran cremains have been abandoned 28 years on aver age, w it h some a s long as 50 and 66 years. Fu neral directors are tasked with identifying, locat i ng a nd not if y i ng relatives or friends, but sometimes the remains go unclaimed. A 2009 state law allowed funeral directors to give veteran groups and veteran service organizations any cremains that have been unclaimed for one year or more. Following passage of the law, New Jersey’s Mission of Honor
Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer
for Cremains of American Veterans was created to identify, retrieve and inter the remains of veterans forgotten in New Jersey funeral homes. As a result, more than 250 families have been reunited with their deceased family members and 197 vets have been interred in Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans Memor ial Cemeter y i n Wrightstown.

JACKSON – Two of Jackson’s service organizations, the Rotary and the Kiwanis, have partnered with the Jackson PBA Local 168 to support the current Community Outreach program. The organizations are holding a Wine and Cheese Tasting event to raise money for the Community Resource program. The event is at the Jacques Catering in the Hall at Jackson Crossing, 21 South Hope Chapel Road from 5:30 until 10 p.m. on June 3. The overarching goal of the program is to address the complex challenges confronting today’s society and the impact on the youth as well as the families in the community. This program’s current aim is to enable efforts to educate and assist parents, children and
young adults in identifying indicators of drug abuse, as well as to provide a resource guide for addicts who may be looking for a way to recovery. It has been reported that there are as many as three or four Narcan saves per week and may be as many as three deaths a month due to drug abuse in Jackson. The police have a limited ability to provide available information regarding indicators to families and resources to those who are addicted and may want help. The Community Resource program is intended to provide this information Event tickets cost $50 in advance, or $60 at the door. For more information, call 732-3709290 or 732 -928-0200.

Barbeque Grilling Safety Information
JACKSON – As summer approaches, the Jackson Bureau of Fire Safety has some fire safety tips when barbeque grilling. Gas grills have a higher fire risk than charcoal grills; leaks and breaks are the leading cause. Charcoal grills have a higher risk than gas grills of death, due to fire or unvented carbon monoxide. Placing combustibles too close to heat and unattended cooking are the leading causes of structure fires. Half of all barbeque grill fires begin on an exterior balcony or unenclosed porches. For safety, position the grill a minimum of five feet away from siding, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches. Keep children and pets away from the grill area: declare a three-foot “safe zone” around the grill. Use long-handled grilling tools to give the chef plenty of clear-

ance from heat and flames when grilling. Periodically remove grease or fat buildup in trays below grill so it cannot be ignited by a hot grill. Never add charcoal starter fluid when coals have already been ignited, and never use any flammable or combustible liquid other than charcoal starter fluid to get the fire going. For propane grills, be sure to check the propane cylinder hose for leaks. A light soap and water solution applied to the hose will quickly reveal escaping propane by releasing bubbles. If a grill owner determines their grill has a gas leak by smell or the soapy bubble test and there is no flame, they should turn off the propane tank and grill. If the leak stops, get the grill serviced by a professional before using it again. If the leak does not stop, call the fire department. If anyone should smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and call the fire department. Do not attempt to move the grill. All propane cylinders manufactured after April 2002 must have overfill protection devices (OPD). OPDs shut off the flow of propane before capacity is reached, limiting the potential for release of propane gas if the cylinder heats up. Never store propane cylinders in buildings or garages. When storing a gas grill inside during the winter, disconnect the cylinder and leave it outside. Propane and charcoal BBQ grills must only be used outdoors. If used indoors, or in any enclosed spaces, such as tents, they pose both a fire hazard and the risk of exposing occupants to toxic gases and potential asphyxiation. Finally, having working smoke alarms installed on every level of the home dramatically increases the occupants’ chances of survival. Smoke alarm batteries need to be tested every month and changed with new ones at least once a year. Also, replace smoke alarms every 10 years, or as the manufacturer guidelines recommend. Contact Fire Official Frank McDonnell to receive a free smoke detector at 732-928-1666 ext. 14 or fmcdonnell@jacksonfiredist3.org. This information is provided by Fire Official Frank McDonnell of the Jackson Bureau of Fire Safety District No. 3.

More than 36 million American adults report that they have hearing loss. Although many people assume hearing loss only affects those around retirement age, about two-thirds of all cases of hearing loss occur in people under the age of 65. So how can hearing aids benefit the entire age spectrum, children, teens, the American workforce, and retirees? Let’s take a look at some rather revealing data regarding hearing loss and hearing aids. In children and teens: At least 1.8 million U.S. children have trouble hearing. Nearly 1.5 million are school age. Nine of every 10 children born deaf are born to parents who can hear normally. In-utero ear infections can lead to deafness. Three continuous months of ear infections can lead to deafness. Children exposed to secondhand smoke have twice the risk of hearing loss. One in five teens now suffers from at least a mild hearing loss due to excessive volume when using iPods and other listening devices. In the American workforce: About 26 million Americans between the prime employment ages of 20 and 69 have high-frequency hearing loss. One in four workers exposed to high levels of noise experience hearing loss later in life. Those with untreated hearing loss lose about $30,000 a year due to underemployment. Police, firefighters, factory workers, farmers, construction workers, musicians,
heavy-industry workers, the military and professional hunters are at the highest risk of experiencing hearing loss. In retirees: About 30 percent of adults ages 65 to 74 have hearing loss. About 47 percent of adults over the age of 75 have hearing loss. Hearing loss in retirees leads to more hospitalization and poorer health overall. Dementia, depression and brain shrinkage are all strongly correlated to untreated hearing loss, which is likely partially responsible for those diseases occurring. Diabetes and cardiovascular disease are also associated with untreated hearing loss. Fortunately, hearing aids are a huge benefit to 90 percent of those with hearing loss, regardless of age group or severity. For those with mild hearing loss, hearing aids greatly reduce or eliminate the risk of income loss, and people with hearing aids are nearly twice as likely to be employed as those with untreated hearing loss or those who simply don’t wear their hearing aids. If you want to make sure you’re getting all you can out of your current set, bring them in and we’ll take a look at how the technology is working for you. And if you decide there’s an upgrade option that you’d like to pursue, we’ll give you $500 toward any new set of AGX Hearing aids. Please call our office today at 732-8183610 if you are suffering from hearing loss. Dr. Izzy is always available to answer your serious questions about most hearing care issues. He has offices in Toms River, Manahawkin and Whiting.

How to Calm Down Quickly
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
It’s natural to get stressed out, or go into a state of mild shock if you hear bad news. Maybe you get sweaty palms a lot, or slip into panic attacks frequently (and over nothing serious). If you’re prone to anxiety, today’s article is intended to offer you help before you take prescriptions. Millions of prescriptions are written annually for anxiolytic drugs like alprazolam (Xanax), clonazepam (Klonopin) and lorazepam (Ativan). These drugs are all in the category of benzodiazepines, and they have severe withdrawal symptoms. I bet some of you suffer on a daily basis because you don’t want to get on a benzodiazepine. Now I’m going to offer you five ways to calm down quickly: Breathe – You might think this is silly to lis,t but it’s number one on my list. When you are anxious, your breathing becomes shallow. Be conscious about breathing and make sure you inhale longer than you exhale during times of stress. The inhalation is a gift to yourself, hold it a second or two, then exhale. Do it five times, preferably with your eyes closed since that instantly puts you into an alpha brain wave state. Lavender – They make pure lavender roll-ons, and if you can’t find that just keep a tiny bottle of the essential oil nearby, or in your purse. Take a whiff and put some on your wrists and temples for immediate action. You can use this to sleep too. And you can find commercial preparations of lavender tea as well. Rescue Remedy – Rescue Remedy is
a combination of five flower extracts including Star of Bethlehem, which is known to help with trauma and shock. You can carry the tiny bottle in your purse and put drops in your mouth (or in your water bottle) all day long if you want. California Poppy Extract – It’s a great herbal anxiolytic, and sometimes also used for kids with Attention Deficit, or bedwetting problems. You can buy it in dropper form at any health food store and online. One of the active compounds is Eschscholzia californica, which has been shown to promote higher catecholamines in the brain, thus a happier mood over time. Some can make you sleepy. Magnesium – This is a natural mineral abundant in leafy greens and edible seaweeds. Numerous studies show a correlation to low magnesium and depression and/or anxiety. It works pretty quickly, especially the magnesium “threonate” form which has been clinically shown to penetrate brain tissue quickly. A double-blind placebo-controlled study tested women with PMS-induced anxiety, mood swings and nervous tension. The researchers combined 200 mg of magnesium with 50mg of vitamin B6 and gave it to the women for one month. It helped some of the women, but not all. I have a few other options, however I am out of space here. Sign up for my newsletter at my site (suzycohen.com) and I will email a longer version of this. Please make sure your physician approves of any supplements you want to try.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
She Don’t Want To Pay For It Dear Joel, My wife has an awful habit which really irks me. When we go out to casual (and sometimes expensive) restaurants, she puts everything that she can into her pocketbook. Our kitchen cabinets have more packets of sugar and sugar substitutes than a supermarket shelf. No matter how much I tell her not to, she keeps on doing it. Answer: Although it doesn’t sound that way, your wife may be a kleptomaniac. I am not a mental health expert, and even if I was I couldn’t offer a diagnosis from your short letter. Although this isn’t a guarantee, I believe that you have more control over this story than you think. You can tell her that if she continues this behavior you will not go out to
eat with her. I f you s e e her put these items into her pocketbook simply walk away and don’t pay for her meal. You can set the record straight by not going into a restaurant with her. My guess is if you hold out she will start listening. There is something psychological about her behavior, but once again you are only giving me a glimpse in your letter. By continuing to join her at meals outside, I see you as enabling the behavior. You may have to dine alone if it really bothers you until she stops. Hopefully she will change when you do. Write to preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

$800 million in capital investments—expenditures for customer growth, as well as system improvements, reinforcements, replacements and retirements—since 2008 and wants to recoup some of its money. NJNG is also constructing the highly controversial Southern Reliability Link (SRL), a 30-mile pipeline starting in Chesterfield in Burlington County and winding its way through Monmouth and Ocean counties, ending in Manchester Township. Some of that pipeline will snake through Jackson. “We have requested this increase so we are able to adequately meet the necessary future infrastructure investments to ensure the same safe, reliable service our customers expect and deserve,” Laurence M. Downes, chairman and CEO of New Jersey Natural Gas, said in a November 2015 press release. “Customers should know that even with the proposed change their bills would still be 29 percent lower than they were when our last rate case was approved — thanks to the decline in wholesale natural gas prices.” According to NJNG, the last general request to increase the delivery rate was back in 2007. However, Council calls the rate increase “unconscionable,” echoing the language used by Ocean County Freeholders back in April. Micromedia Publications reported
Prom Program Distributes 750 Dresses
OCEAN COUNTY – More than 750 prom dresses were distributed free of charge to young adults during this year’s Ocean County Library prom dress program. The Prom Dress Giveaway program, now in its seventh year, achieved record-break ing nu mbers in ter ms of attendance and dresses according to library staff. The distribution was held at the library’s Little Egg Harbor, Lakewood, Barnegat, and Toms River branches. Hundreds of dresses were collected from all over the library system during the winter. “The Young Adult Services team, along with staff members from the four branches and groups of hard-working teen volunteers, collected, sorted, tagged, and arranged dresses for each giveaway,” said Senior Librarian Nancy Marino. The library’s facilities team transported the dresses and set up dressing rooms at each branch. “All the hard work and effort was worth it,” said Emily Mazzoni of Young Adult Services. “Almost 600 people attended the event. Over 750 dresses were given away, which is an increase of 50 dresses from last year.” Mazzoni said many teens who left with dresses expressed how they might not have otherwise been able to attend their proms. She said the mother of one recipient called the library “the Santa Claus of prom dresses.”
The Jackson Times, May 28, 2016, Page 23 on Freeholder Joseph Vicari’s rejection of NJNG’s request that same month. “I strongly encourage the BPU to reject this unconscionable rate increase,” Vicari said in a letter to BPU President Richard Mroz. “…Such an unheard of increase would have a devastating impact on our residents, especially senior citizens living on fixed incomes,” Vicari said. “How are seniors expected to pay an extra $22 per month, or more than $260 per year? … I
am afraid many seniors may jeopardize their health by keeping their heat at low or even dangerous levels during the coldest winter months in an effort to save money,” he said. “Natural gas is not a privilege, it’s a necessity for living, cooking and bathing.” Assemblymen Rob Clifton and Ron Dancer, both R-Ocean, have also expressed their opposition to the 24 percent rate hike. They released a joint statement in April. “Such a steep increase will have a domino
effect. Small business owners won’t be able to absorb a 24 percent rate hike. Ultimately, that cost will be passed on to consumers. For senior citizens living on a fixed income, this will create another hardship. Many will be forced to choose between paying their gas bill and buying medication or adequate food,” their statement said. “We strongly urge the BPU to reject NJNG’s proposal because of the highly burdensome effect such a large increase will have on our residents.”

PLUMSTED – Law enforcement officers from the Plumsted Police Department will join with police from around the country in cracking down on unbuckled motorists and passengers as part of the national “Click it or Ticket” campaign. The campaign began on May 23 and will run through June 5. The annual “Click It or Ticket” national mobilization utilizes high visibility seat belt checkpoints and saturation patrols, in
combination with local and national publicity efforts, to reiterate the life-saving value of seat belts. “At our April meeting, the Township Committee authorized the submittal of an application for the ‘Click It or Ticket’ grant from the state. We are pleased to announce that the township received approval of the application and will receive funding to conduct this annual safe driving measure” said Mayor Jack Trotta. “Using a seat belt is the simplest way for a driver and his or her passengers to protect themselves when traveling,” said Gary Poedubicky, acting director of the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety. “In 2013, 21,000 people in the U.S. were killed in traffic crashes, and almost half of them were unrestrained.” Poedubicky added that a key focus of this year’s campaign is to promote seat belt usage by adults in the rear seats of vehicles. The front seat belt usage rate in New Jersey currently stands at 91.36 percent. However, adults riding in rear seats are only buckling up at a rate of 39 percent. “This is a concern,” he said. “We need to drive home the message that all motor vehicle occupants need to buckle up during every trip, in every seating position.” During the 2015 “Click it or Ticket” campaign, 372 New Jersey police agencies participated in the two-week initiative. As a result of the effort, law enforcement officers issued 26,308 seat belt citations, 4,969 speeding summonses and made 833 impaired driving arrests.

R.C. Shea & Assoc. Inside The Law
Robert C. Shea Esq. Christopher R. Shea Esq.
Homebuilder Beware By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Any homeowner looking to build or modify a home should note that a new trend in New Jersey law now holds property owners liable for workplace injuries where the injury occurred on site, and the property owner assumed responsibilities normally reserved for a general contractor. This trend was solidified by the New Jersey Appellate Division case of Costa v. Gaccione, 408 N.J. Super. 362 (App. Div. 2009) where the Appellate Court held that since there was evidence to demonstrate a property owner on a construction project where Plaintiff was injured acted as the de facto general contractor, a genuine issues of material fact existed to warrant a trial on the property owner’s liability for the Plaintiff’s injuries. In Costa, an employee of a framing subcontractor fell and sustained serious injury when climbing makeshift scaffolding used on the construction project. The employee claimed that the property owner, Salvatore Gaccione (“Gaccione”), acted as the project general contractor, and that Gaccione’s failure to ensure worksite safety constituted negligence and a violation of OSHA. Regarding Gaccione’s role as the general contractor, the employee demonstrated that Gaccione obtained building permits as the project owner, but indicated on the permit form that he considered himself the “person responsible for the work.” In addition, Gaccione performed many of the general contractor functions on the project, such as hiring
an architect and various subcontractors, scheduling subcontractors’ work and purchasing building materials. Gaccione also frequented the jobsite, oversaw the work and performed some managerial tasks. Nevertheless, the trial court granted Gaccione’s motion for summary judgment dismissing all claims against him. The trial court held that Gaccione did not have a duty to ascertain whether the scaffolding posed a risk of injury and, instead, was entitled to rely on the subcontractor to oversee its employee’s work. The employee then appealed to the Appellate Division. On appeal, the Appellate Division reversed the trial court’s holding, and found the facts of the case established that the homeowner had acted as the de facto contractor. Significantly, the homeowner visited the site daily, oversaw operations, purchased materials requested by builders and actively discussed building plans with workers that he hired. The Appellate Division concluded that this evidence was sufficient to create genuine issues of material facts and ordered a trial to determine the issue of damages. The important lesson to be learned from the Costa case for perspective homebuilders is that taking on the responsibilities normally assumed of a general contractor, even in the absence of the official designation of such, may give rise to a duty of care to ensure worksite safety and expose you to liability.

Business Profile
SUPERIOR UPHOLSTERY Bringing unique creations to life every day!
What comes to mind when you think of “upholstery”? Most people assume it entails nothing more than throwing fabric over a couch. These people have obviously been misinformed! Tom White, owner and operator of Superior Upholstery in Toms River, is the very definition of a craftsman, delivering works of art to his loyal customers every day. Tom always had a passion for creating beautiful things out of limited resources. At a very young age, he found himself to possess a natural eye for balance and symmetry, two key aspects to the trade. At the age of 14, these attributes were recognized by Master Craftsman John Jacopec, who was a ver y dear friend. John took Tom under his wing and introduced him to the trade. Playing on his strengths and his desire
to learn everything there is to know, John ap prenticed him and over time, Tom discovered that he had found not only a livelihood, but a passion… a calling to create what has not yet been created. So how does an upholstery craftsman apply these gifts to the real world, to real customers, to you? He takes the
temporar y to antique, Superior Upholstery can revitalize any piece that you feel is in need of improvement and make it a prominent display of art in your home. Even if you have something that looks great now, take it to Tom and he will provide you with a new perspective the moment you arrive at his store. With these gifts, Tom is able to show his customers that any room of your h o m e c an be brightened with the right furniture upgrades. He will show you that upholstery is more than just “ fabric covering:” it ’s about design, quality and capturing your vision into a masterpiece. Even better, if you just have an idea of what you want but no piece of furniture to start with, Tom and his team will work with you to build that special piece and make your dreams come true.
When the task seems impossible, I don’t give up until it is perfect! - Tom White, owner

When you walk into Superior Upholstery, you are not walking into a bigbox furniture store that cannot bend from the status-quo. Tom’s skill of applying superior materials and unprecedented craftsmanship will add value to your furniture rather than the typical depreciation that buyers experience with previous purchases. It’s not about the purchase price with Superior Upholstery: it’s about excellence and meeting the customer’s needs. All projects are unique, meaning no one will ever walk into your h o m e a n d s ay, “ O h, I’ve seen that before.” Tom never creates the same object twice, giving comfort to the customer that they are treated as unique and with top priority when these services are performed. Countless services are offered at Superior Upholstery that you may not expect. In addition to custom furniture and covering, solutions for many other parts of your
home are options as well. Superior is your one-stop answer for all slipcovers, window treatments, drapes, valences, blinds and shutters. Free consultation and design help are always provided and they do all the measuring and installing. Pick-up and delivery options are available for any customer in need of this help. In fact, Tom’s customer base spans not only those who are local, but customers as far away as New York (that includes pick-up and delivery)! That just shows the loyalty that customers have to Tom and his business once they’ve come and seen what showpieces he can create! If you are unsure about the solution needed to illuminate a room in your home, come in and see Tom for a free consultation and he will provide knowledge and guidance on what solutions are best for you. At Superior Upholstery, you will find a family-oriented environment, rooted in the strong values and c o nvic t i o ns t hat John Jacopec himself
held in the highest regard. The staff of five, including Toms’ nephew, Michael, work as a true team to provide the highest quality with the friendliest service. All striving toward the same goal of finding functional beauty in unexpected places, each employee har nes ses t heir ow n individual strengths to complement each other and f low seamles sly through each project. It is that combination of talent, experience and proficiency that makes Superior Upholstery the best option for home furnishing upgrades and repairs in Ocean County! Come here first before even thinking about your common furniture or department store and you will not be disappointed! Superior Upholstery is located at 1594 Route 9, Suite 7 in the Victoria Plaza in Toms River. Their phone number is 732-929-0044 or you can email them at Tomw1752@msn.com.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of May 28-June 4 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Enthusiasm and the ability to stand up for yourself are your best attributes. Even so, you might offend if you forget to say “please” and “thank you.” Focus on being more considerate in the week ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Teach others what you know and learn something from others in the process. In the week ahead you can easily join forces and make progress by sharing knowledge, ideas, and expertise. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Think before you act. You may be challenged to exert your authority in the early part of the week. Ask for advice from family members or wiser souls before you deliver ultimatums. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You value dependability and reliability above all things. Someone close may prove his or her true worth this week. Pursue important goals but remember to be appreciative of loyal partners. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Jumping into action is fine as long as you don’t jump in over your head. You may be challenged to perform physical activities but must remember to measure twice and cut once in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know more than you think you do. Your good judgment and sound assessment of circumstances will help you make wise decisions in the week to come. You can see the writing on the wall.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Follow the lead of a model of industry. Discussions with intimate companions can become heated if you assert yourself. A “go-getter” can achieve positive results in the second half of the week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Nail down networking skills. You may open up some new avenues to travel upon and do business in the week to come. Opinions voiced in the outer world may persuade you to take important steps. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your boundless enthusiasm can breathe life into humdrum routines but don’t get carried away. Wait until at least mid-week to start new projects or spend large amounts of money. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are truly quick on the uptake this week, easily absorbing information and making astute observations. File these away for future reference. Maintain perfect manners when dealing with the public. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may change your mind later, so don’t be too eager to jump on the bandwagon. Powerful and ambitious ideas could develop during the week ahead. Sit on your hands until the time is ripe for success. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Follow your first instinct after checking in with your closest friend. You’ll make the right choice when faced with tough decisions in the week ahead if you follow the lead of wiser souls.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Shape Up! Start The Morning Right With A Healthy, Delicious ‘Green Drink’ By Wolfgang Puck
With Memorial Day, summer’s unofficial start, and real summer arriving a few weeks later, shaping up for the coming season’s outdoor activities is on a lot of people’s minds. So you probably wouldn’t be surprised by how often I get requests in my restaurants for “something light.” Of course, there are so many ways our regular menus oblige our guests, with items ranging from fresh vegetable salads (dressing on the side, of course) to grilled fish or skinless chicken to all kinds of desserts featuring wonderful fresh fruit. The bigger challenge for many people, however, concerns not what they eat for lunch or dinner but how they start the day. And, especially at this time of year when morning appetites become lighter as the weather grows warmer, the talk lately seems to be turning to so-called “green drinks.” Green drinks generally feature not only fruits like apples, but also vegetables such as cucumber, celery and, especially, dark-green bitter leaves like kale or spinach (sources of much-prized nutrients like B vitamins and vitamin C). The first secret to creating a morning drink that delivers the benefits of those green ingredients without causing a grimace at the first sip is to combine the leaves in the right proportions with the other healthful vegetables and fruits. I make sure to include enough apple for sweetness (along with a touch of honey sometimes), and even an orange; mild cucumber and celery also go a long way toward creating a more gentle, well-rounded flavor profile. I like to spice things up with some fresh ginger root and even, sometimes, a pinch of cayenne. My other key to success is to use the right equipment. The first recipe, my own version of a green smoothie, depends on a professional-quality highspeed blender, which will help you achieve a perfectly smooth consistency quickly. Or, if you prefer what is sometimes referred to as a green juice “power shot” like those I often serve to guests at big Hollywood parties, you can achieve that powerful essence with the help of a good juice extractor. Both appliances are widely available these days at surprisingly affordable prices. So, as the season of sunshine approaches, try one of these fresh new starts to your day. Here’s to your good health!
WOLFGANG PUCK’S GREEN SMOOTHIE Serves 2 1/2 medium English cucumber, peel left on, cut into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces 1 navel orange, peeled and separated into sections 1 green-skinned apple such as Granny Smith, peel left on, cored and cut into wedges 3-inch (7.5-cm) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and cut into 3 pieces 1 cup (250 mL) almond milk, chilled 1 teaspoon honey 4 large leaves green kale, tough ribs removed, leaves very coarsely chopped 1 pinch cayenne pepper 2 sprigs fresh mint, leaves separated, stems discarded In the container of a professional-quality high-speed blender, combine the cucumber pieces, orange sections, apple wedges, ginger pieces, almond milk and honey. Add the kale leaves, cayenne and mint leaves. Securely place the lid on the blender. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, blend the ingredients until smooth, stopping once or twice if necessary to scrape down the sides of the blender container. Pour the smoothie into two tall chilled glasses. Serve immediately. WOLFGANG’S GREEN JUICE POWER SHOTS Serves 3 6 large leaves green kale, tough ribs removed, leaves very coarsely chopped 4 large stalks celery, leaves trimmed, stalks cut into several pieces each 2 green-skinned apples such as Granny Smith, peel left on, cored and cut into wedges 1 medium English cucumber, trimmed and cut into large chunks 1 cup packed baby spinach leaves 2-inch (5-cm) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into 2 pieces Just before serving, prepare all the ingredients as directed. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, pass all of the ingredients a few pieces at a time through a juice extractor into the extractor’s container or a nonreactive pitcher. With a long spoon, stir the juice mixture well. Serve immediately, pouring the juice into chilled 2-ounce (60-mL) shot glasses.
