County Preserves 42 Acres In Manchester
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund will be purchasing 42 acres in Manchester to keep it as open space, officials said at the March 15 meeting of the Ocean County Freeholders. The land is situated between property that has already been purchased by the trust, said Freeholder John Bartlett. Currently, the only things

Manchester Schools Propose $52.9M Budget
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The Manchester Board of Education approved the district’s tentative 2017 budget, which is now awaiting county approval. Its final adoption and public hearing is scheduled for April 26 at the board’s regularly scheduled meeting. Business administrator Craig Lorentzen said the budget is subject to change, not only from the county school superintendent’s office, but the board. The district declined to release the figures showing how the proposed budget will impact taxpayers, because those figures are subject to change. It is known, from the dist r ict’s March 15
agenda, that the 2017 proposed general fund revenue is $52.9 million, with a general fund tax levy of $44 million and a debt service levy of $2.8 million. The district also plans to use a banked cap of $350,000 for new computer servers and to replace aging technology. It was unclear at which district offices or schools that would affect. State aid has been a sore subject in Manchester for nearly a decade, with the district still feeling the effects of cuts back from 200910. While state aid remained “flat” again this cycle, that aid is still more than $1 million shy of where it was. “The primary challenge (Budget - See Page 5)
Lakehurst Tax Bills Might Raise Slightly
By Jennifer Peacock LAKEHURST – Lakehurst borough residents will see a slight increase in their municipal tax bills this year if the budget passes. The borough’s proposed budget for 2017 is $4.1 million, a decrease of $366,100 from last year’s adopted budget. However, even though the budget decreased, the tax levy will be increasing. The tax rate would increase from $1.70 per $100 of assessed valuation to $1.72, a 1.18 percent increase. The average taxpayer who owns a house valued at $159,422 will (Tax Bills - See Page 4)

questions about the research they are conducting as part of the Palmer Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) project and about their experiences working in Antarctica. This particular chat focused on microbe ecology. Leigh West and Adrian Jaycox, Palmer researchers from Columbia University, spoke to the students while standing outdoors at the station with the sea behind them. They appeared on the video feed in a small box in the corner of the screen, while a larger area of the screen showed slides with photos and graphics to explain what they were discussing. West said that they had just returned from collecting bi-weekly samplings from the water around the station. “Our focus is on the bacteria in water around Palmer Station and its role in carbon cycling and the bio-geo-chemical processes that are happening here,” she explained. She said the LTER project looks at how the marine

of the biggest discoveries in science have been when someone’s not looking for something and they kind of stumble upon it.” He said that he felt that their research was making a difference. He pointed to a recent announcement by the signatory countries to the Antarctic Treaty declaring a large part of the Ross Sea a marine protected region in order to safeguard the ecosystem there. “It’s really fulfi lling to see those kinds of tangible differences happening even as we’re down here.” The teleconference was arranged by vice principal Stacie Ferrara, who said she saw it listed on the Rutgers University website and jumped at the chance for Manchester to participate. Although there were some technical difficulties with the audio, the students were excited to be a part of this rare opportunity. A recording of the video chat is available at polar-ice.org/educator-resources/palmer -lter-education-outreach/pal-lter-vtcswinter-2017/. Scroll down to the March 1, 2017 Microbe Ecology recording.
Charlie Kremer asked a question from Alyssa Sloan, who was absent. “What is your favorite part of this experience? How many times have you gone back? If you haven’t returned, would you go back if you had the chance?” Jaycox said he loves being at Palmer, especially the fieldwork. “I didn’t realize how much I loved being out on the water and driving boats until I got here,” he said. He added that seeing the glaciers and the snowcapped mountains every day is another highlight, as well as the mix of people who work at the station. “It’s just amazing being here, you can never forget that you are in Antarctica.” Aryeyana Glenn and Allie Mahler asked, “What happens if you don’t get the answers to your research that you expect? Do you feel like your research is making a difference?” “Sometimes in science you don’t get what you are looking for but a lot of times if you fi nd something unexpected, that can just lead you down a whole different path of discovery,” Jaycox said. “Some

food web there is responding to climate change. She and Jaycox focused on microscopic bacteria while other researchers focused on other organisms all the way up to the largest marine life, like whales. Manchester was one of four schools on the video conference call. The other schools were Maria Carrillo High School, CA; Morehead City Middle School, NC; and Sandwich High School, MA. All of the schools prepared questions ahead of time and took turns asking them when called upon by the scientists. Below are the questions from Manchester students: Deanna Martin asked, “Why do samples from different sea levels matter? Is there a difference in samples at different sea levels?” West replied that there is defi nitely a difference based on the depth from which the samples were obtained. For example, she said samples from higher up contain more organisms because they get more sunlight and because the water has lower salinity near the top due to freshwater runoff from melting glaciers.

We have to find ways to be creative, efficient and utilize the funds we have effectively. “Our budget is still supported primarily by the taxpayers under the current school

funding formula. The district only gets approximately 11 percent in state aid to support its budget. We have to be mindful of that when we are putting the budget together,” he said. The board also approved the Regional Day School’s tentative budget of $5.9 million, also pending county approval. Last year’s approved school budget was $55.71 million. The average homeowner whose house was valued at $157,000 saw a $56 increase in their annual school taxes.

According to county figures, the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund is paid for with a 1.2 cent per $100 of assessed valuation, and generates $8 million annually for land acquisition and farmland preservation.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Assembly Should Vote In Favor Of Stroke Bill Stroke kills nearly 3,500 people in New Jersey every year and causes lifelong disabilities for thousands more. Patients who receive treatment in the first 3 hours after stroke symptoms appear have the best chance of not only surviving, but of resuming daily life with limited lingering problems. Sadly, too many stroke patients do not receive timely care. They are left to wait in emergency rooms for hours, or taken to hospitals that are not equipped to treat their conditions, wasting precious minutes and hours. As a stroke survivor, I believe that New Jersey stroke patients deserve better. On February 27, the Senate Budget Committee voted yes on a bill that would improve the
stroke system of care in New Jersey. It would ensure that hospitals that identify themselves as stroke centers have the necessary pieces in place to treat stroke patients in a timely manner. It would also ensure that EMS providers have protocols in place to identify a stroke and transport the patient to the appropriate facility in a timely manner. I encourage the leadership of the Assembly to post this bill soon and members of the Assembly to vote in favor of it so that stroke patients receive the best care possible. Strokes won’t wait, neither should you. Patty Lang Volunteer American Heart Association American Stroke Association

Christie’s Budget Plan Promotes Continued Growth
The governor’s plan protects both taxpayers and businesses by meeting our fiscal obligations without raising taxes. It also keeps our commitment to fund the pension system. The slow but steady progress we made by implementing vital reforms have provided the predictable and stable environment businesses require to grow and create jobs. This proposal keeps New Jersey on the path for continued growth. David Rible Assembly Republ ican Conference Leader
Christie’s In La La Land! Chris Christie made it clear with his budget address that he is not in touch with reality. It’s time for him to get out of La La Land and face the real world. Just because he says something doesn’t make it true. He says New Jersey’s economy is booming, but it’s not. Being one of the slowest states to recover from the greatest economic crisis of the last 80 years isn’t something to crow about. He says he implemented tax fairness, but he hiked taxes on middle and lower income New Jerseyans and cut taxes for the rich. He says he’ll increase infrastructure spending,

Deliver What Was Promised Regarding the Mill Creek Road Community Center in Beach Haven West, demolished after damage from Superstorm Sandy in October 2012, this is our understanding of the controversy surrounding its replacement. After officials reported that the community center could not be restored, actor Alec Baldwin donated $250,000. Then and for the next year, the understanding as that the money would help pay to replace the Mill Creek Road community center. That also was how local newspapers and the governor reported the gift. Neither the mayor nor the township council clarified the donation’s intent as they repeatedly reassured BHW residents the community center would be replaced. There even was talk about inviting Baldwin to the rib-

At one point, we recall plans being drawn, bids sought, received and opened, but a contract was not awarded because of high cost. More than a year later, a bonding ordinance was introduced at a council meeting, revealing plans were underway for a Bay Avenue community center as well as a smaller building (800-square feet) on Mill Creek Road. The reasons for that decision had not been discussed with citizens actively involved in the Mill Creek Road center. The lack of communication created discontent. Initially, finances were the reason given for the switch in plans, specifically uncertainty about insurance reimbursement on the Mill Creek Road building. At a Beach Haven West Civic Association (BHWCA) meeting, Mayor John Spodofora explained that the council decided a center on Bay Avenue was more prudent because of flood-zone issues, primarily the need to offer services during a flood crisis. He vowed, however, that he was committed to providing Beach Haven West residents with a replacement building. He repeated that promise several times in ensuing months, even after a resident told him that he doubted the building would ever be built. Whenever asked about the status of the Mill Creek Road replacement, the official answer was that once the Bay Avenue building was complete, work would commence in Beach Haven West. The mayor appointed a committee of five BHW residents to provide input on the replacement plan. He produced an architectural drawing at the first meeting, also attended by Councilman Alan Smith. Changes were requested, including adding a stove, and the committee was told it would meet again to review those changes. To our surprise, the mayor decided in September not to meet again with the citizen committee. He said he and council members were not
meeting transpired. At a September council meeting, the council was polled on their reported displeasure. Smith either did not respond or his response was not heard; the other four council members said they had no problem or awareness of the meeting in question. The lingering issue is providing a stove in the new MCR facility. The BHWCA as simply asking to regain what was lost; the mayor and council members maintain a stove installation is cost prohibitive. Recently, some have muddied the debate by saying we insist on a gas stove, thus hiking costs to run a gas line. Not true. Our request is for what we lost - an electric stove with oven. A sore spot in this controversy is last year’s purchase of the Pine Street building at a cost of $225,000 with anticipated significant repairs. On Jan. 24, Township Administrator Jim Moran announced that the township received a $140,000 FEMA grant to refurbish the Pine Street building. He explained that this was because the adjacent Bay Avenue building was deemed an alternate site to the center lost in a flood zone. Noteworthy is that only recently, we heard that FEMA would not allow building a community center in a flood zone. Previously, we were told that the governing body decided Bay Avenue was a wiser location and solicited, then received FEMA approval to relocate the center. At the November 29 council meeting, the mayor said because Bay Avenue was about to open, steps were moving forward regarding Mill Creek Road – drawings were due early this year and construction complete by the end of 2017. At the December 13 council meeting, officials said site work is being done to complete the engineering/ architectural details for the Mill Creek Road facility and construction would begin in January. In the interim, the BHWCA (Letters - See Page 20)

10th Legislative District - Serving Manchester Senator Jim Holzapfel
Holzapfel/Singer Bill To Protect N.J. Animals Passed By Senate
NEW JERSEY – Legislation sponsored by Senator Jim Holzapfel (R-Ocean) and Senator Robert Singer (R-Monmouth, Ocean) to protect pets against cruel treatment by their owners was passed by the New Jersey Senate. “You would hope that pet owners would treat their animals with decency and provide them with
a safe and healthy home e nv i ron me nt , but s a dly, that isn’t always the case,” Senator Holzapfel said. “We must protect these animals and show that this kind of treatment will not be tolerated.” The bill, S-1640, outlines several potentially cruel practices related to keeping a pet at a home, including exposure to ad-
verse weather, improper tethering and inadequate shelter. It also provides penalties for violations and permits humane societies and municipalities to take custody of an animal that’s been subject to cruel treatment after providing due warning to its owner. According to the legislation, it would be unlawful
to expose any pet or service animal to adverse weather conditions, such as temperat u res colder than 33 degrees or hotter than 89 degrees for more than 30 minutes unless the animal has continuous access to proper shelter. It makes it unlawful to cruelly restrain a dog. In addition, the bill provides that when state or
local off icials issue an order of evacuation due to weather or other emergency conditions, the owner must make every attempt to evacuate their pets and not leave their animals indoors or outdoors while unattended or tethered. “ Pe t ow n e r s h i p c a n provide a lifetime of love and companionship, but it comes with a lot re-
Senator Jim Holzapfel s p o n si bi l it y,” S e n a t o r Singer said. “If someone can’t follow these simple rules and treat their pets humanely on their own, we need strong rules to e n fo r c e t h e m a n d t h e ability to rescue animals from cruelty.”
Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program Kicks Off
OCEA N COU N T Y – Ocean County is kicking off its annual free Household Ha za rdou s Wa ste Collect ion prog ram on April 1 with its fi rst stop in Stafford Township. “I am pleased to announce the first three dates for 2017 of this very popular program,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management. “I am happy we can offer it again this year. It provides benefits to not just our citizens but also protects the environment.” Last year, the County collected 290,602 pounds of household hazardous waste, up about 20,000 pou nd s, at a cost of $123,688. The program is funded in part by the State Recycling Enhancement Act Tax Fund. “ T h is f re e prog r a m , which got started in 1989, provides an avenue to get rid of items like paints, paint thinner and cleaners, properly and safely, keeping the material from en-
tering our waterways and our preserved lands,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “The Department of Solid Waste Management has done a great job in implementing this program for almost three decades.” The program will run at least once a month from April to October and is held at different collection sites throughout the county. “We work to make certain this program is accessible to our residents,” Little said. “It is held in towns, both large and small, and cit i ze n s i n a ny O ce a n County town can attend any site.” The first dates, times and locations for the 2017 collection are: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., April 1 at the Staffo r d Tow n s h ip P u bl ic Works Garage, 320 Haywood Road. 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on May 13 at the Toms River Township Public Works Garage, 1672 Church Road. 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on June 3 at the Manchester Town-
ship Public Works Garage, 1360 Route 70. While the program is free, registration is required. To register for the Stafford Township collection site call 609-978-0913; for the Toms River Township site call 732-506-5047 and for the Manchester collection site call 732-367-0802. Municipal recycling centers and the county’s recycling centers also allow for drop-off of a host of materials, including used paint, motor oil and car batteries. “Our residents should check with us or their local recycling center to determine what is accepted year-round eliminating the need to store potentially hazardous items in their home,” Little said.

Township Employees Complete ALICE Active Shooter Training
MANCHESTER – All Manchester Township employees are now trained in ALICE, the system of proactive survival strategies designed to increase survival rates and save lives during a violent intruder situation. ALICE — which stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate — can be utilized by schools, universities, places of worship, hospitals and other workplaces. The goal of the ALICE program is to provide individuals with survival-enhancing options for those critical moments in the gap between when a violent situation begins and when law enforcement arrives on scene. “We have taken a proactive approach to preparing our employees for a situation involving an active shooter or violent intruder. Of course, our hope is that we never have to put our training into practice,” said Personnel Officer James Gant. “But rest assured that all of our employees are equipped with the knowledge, skillset and wherewithal to increase their chances for survival.” Manchester Township and the Police Department have been proponents of ALICE for several years, as it increases survival rates by empowering individuals to take a proactive role in finding ways to survive a dangerous situation, rather than the commonly accepted practice of
locking down in place while awaiting the arrival of law enforcement. ALICE is in line with recommendations from the U.S. Department of Education, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). In addition to Township offices, ALICE has also been implemented in the Manchester Township School District. As a cost-saving measure, four Township employees — Business Administrator Donna Markulic, Police Records Supervisor Ron Rhein, Code Enforcement Officer Matt Quinn, and Personnel Officer Gant — received their ALICE Training Certifications last August. These four employees, the first three of whom are retired law enforcement officers, hosted eight training sessions throughout this past January and February for our Manchester Township employees. In addition to informational presentations, employees participated in interactive scenarios designed to simulate a violent intruder situation. “ALICE is something that employees can use during any critical incident that involves a violent intruder, no matter what the location,” said Chief of Police Lisa Parker. “Manchester is a very progressive township that cares about their employees. This training is a positive, forward-thinking approach that can be implemented in a professional or personal environment.”

Lakehurst PD Enforces UDrive. UText. UPay. Campaign
LAKEHURST – Law enforcement officers from the Lakehurst Police Department will be cracking down on distracted drivers during the month of April as part of New Jersey’s UDrive. UText. UPay. law enforcement campaign. The Lakehurst Police Department was awarded a grant from the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety to enforce the campaign, which coincides with the National Safety Council’s designation of April as Distracted Driving Awareness month. Beginning April 1 and running through April 21, the high visibility law enforcement initiative will target motorists who engage in dangerous, distracted driving behaviors such as talking on hand-held cell phones and sending text messages while driving. “Distracted driving is a serious issue on our roadways,” said Gary Poedubicky, Acting Director of the New Jersey Division of Highway

Traffic Safety. “The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that in 2014 alone, 3,179 people were killed in distracted driving crashes and an estimated 431,000 people were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver.” Despite the fact that using a hand held cell phone or texting while driving is illegal in New Jersey, this dangerous activity is still widespread. In a recent survey conducted by the FDU PublicMind Poll for the Division of Highway Traffic Safety, 67 percent of respondents said they “very often” see people driving and talking on a hand held cell phone, and 42 percent of respondents said they “very often” see drivers texting. The New Jersey campaign is modeled after similar successful high visibility enforcement programs such as Click It or Ticket and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.

Weight Loss And Hearing The association between cardiovascular health and hearing health has never been stronger. It’s all about blood circulation throughout the body. Circulatory problems have the ability to affect any number of bodily processes, particularly in the most delicate areas of the body — like the cochlea, the delicate inner-ear organ responsible for sending sound signals to the brain. Conditions that restrict blood supply to the cochlea can starve the inner ear of necessary oxygen and permanently damage hearing. Cardiovascular Disease: Cardiovascular disease causes hardening of the arteries, which affects your circulation and, in turn, could affect your hearing. The Ear, Nose, and Throat Institute believes that the link between hearing loss and cardiovascular disease is due to the inner ear’s sensitivity to circulation. The disease causes hardening of the arteries, which affects your circulation and, in turn, your hearing. Diabetes: If you have a history of heart disease, it is essential to have a baseline hearing evaluation to monitor changes in your hearing throughout the course of the disease. Also, those with diabetes — particularly type 2 — are at a greater risk of heart disease and stroke, making them vulnerable to hearing loss. Studies show hearing loss is twice as common in people with diabetes compared to those without. High blood glucose levels linked with diabetes could cause damage to the small blood vessels in the inner ear. The inner ear is essential in allowing the brain to properly process sounds. Hypertension: High blood pressure can lead to problems in the organs affected, especially the delicate cochlea. Because of how small the cochlea is, the veins and arteries carrying blood through the cochlea are among the tiniest in the body — and therefore important to protect in order to preserve healthy hearing. Quit Hurting Your Hearing: Smoking We know that genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors help determine a
person’s risk of hearing loss — and that includes smoking. In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, cigarette smoking was determined to be a factor in the development of hearing loss. Current smokers are 1.69 times as likely to have a hearing loss as nonsmokers 3, and nonsmokers who live with a smoker are more likely to have a hearing loss than those who are not exposed to secondhand smoke. Those who smoke a pack a day for 40 years are 1.27 times as likely to have a hearing loss as those with who smoke a pack a day for 10 years. Healthy Hearing Is Happy Hearing Many with hearing loss choose not to engage in social activities because the stigma associated with it is embarrassing, despite the fact that treatment is likely to improve their social lives. According to a study by the National Council on Aging, in which 2,090 close family members or friends of the hearing impaired were asked a parallel set of questions (both before and after treatment), benefits of treatment with hearing aids were significant, offering improvements in many areas of life ranging from relationships and social life to sense of independence. Relations at home improved by 56 percent according to the user, 66 percent according to family and friends. Self-image improved by 50 percent according to the user, 60 percent according to family and friends. Life overall improved by 48 percent according to the user, 62 percent according to family and friends. Mental health improved by 36 percent according to the user, 39 percent according to family and friends. Social life improved by 34 percent according to the user, 41 percent according to family and friends. Relations at work improved by 26 percent according to the user, 43 percent according to family and friends.
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. Expanded Whiting Hours!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Here’s What Happens When You Cry By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. When we think of crying, we usually relate it to grief, pain (whether it be emotional or physical), shame and sometimes, even guilt. We cry for a lot of reasons. Sometimes we cry because “I’ll never let go, Jack” happens in a movie. When I was pregnant with my daughter Samara in 1989, I remember crying at some totally inappropriate moment during the whale movie, Orca. It was so odd, but to this day I recall how good it felt to let those tears out and blow my nose. It’s funny looking back. Personally, I’m not a crier, it takes a lot, but I have, and I do, and on occasion it’s provoked by normal things such grief, or the fear of losing someone I love, or if I really, really hurt myself. I once started crying after pain induced by cutting open my finger while chopping an onion. Any type of emotional surge, whether it is positive or negative, can trigger tears. When we’ve finished crying, we feel so much better! That feeling of relief you experience after crying comes from “feel-good” hormones and neurotransmitters that are released during the episode. Emotional crying contains “leucine-enkephalin,” an endorphin which improves mood and reduces pain. Your tears contain endorphins, so when you cry, you can feel yourself start to settle down almost instantly after shedding some tears. As an added effect, our emotional pain tolerance increases after we have cried. This is human nature. Some other interesting benefits associated with crying include enhanced
communication, better coping skills and antibacterial effects. Let me explain: Crying releases stress. Stress-crying releases toxins that assist the body in ridding itself of chemicals that are known to raise cortisol levels. Cortisol is the hormone that puts fat around your belly and so controlling that could contribute to weight loss. Controlling cortisol helps you cope with stress. Do not allow your stress or emotions to remain bottled up inside you. Tears are antibacterial. As for the killing off of bacteria, an article published by Medical Daily found that tears (which contain lysozyme) can kill up to 95 percent of bacteria in under ten minutes! Crying improves communication. Babies cannot speak, so they let you know about their discomfort by crying. As for adults, seeing another person’s tears quickly sums up the extreme level of anger, frustration or sadness, that words fail to convey. I have a longer article at my website which explains why some people prefer to cry alone in the shower. Wherever you cry, it would be a disservice to yourself, your mental health and your physical body to prevent the occasional vulnerable state (and euphoria) that emotional crying provides. In order to restore balance to both your body and mind, you should try to embrace the lacrimation. Men especially, it is a sign of a kind-hearted sensitive man and there’s nothing wrong with letting your guard down. It is not a sign of weakness like you might think.

Letters:
Continued From Page 8 continued to press for a full kitchen. Council members were approached individually; some standing firmly behind the mayor, others were sympathetic to BHW residents. At a social gathering in December, Councilman Steve Fessler – who had indicated there might be adequate votes to include a stove – said council members now were reluctant
but would be receptive to a successful petition drive, already underway. Fessler encouraged a vibrant petition effort. The petition with 430 names was presented at the January 24 meeting, to which the mayor invited two residents to speak against the BHWCA’s request. It should be noted that no township group or individual has ever been discouraged from joining the effort to replace the Mill Creek Road building, which indeed is a township
facility. Was it an asset to the BHW community? Indeed, and we simply expected it to be replaced – and were reassured repeatedly that it would be. The mayor closed the January 24 meeting by reading a prepared statement, saying he and a unanimous council were putting the Mill Creek Road center on hold as it reviews the existing two community centers’ use and township needs before proceeding. Thus, we have gone from having the Mill
Creek Road center rebuilt to being offered a reduced version to now having the project placed in limbo by a mayor who publicly pledged it would become a reality. We, the Beach Haven West Civic Association, have closely followed the township’s pledge to rebuild the center and, in good faith, have tried to work with the mayor and council. In the past four years, we have experienced poor, and even no communication, conflicting information, and broken promises. All we have ever sought is what was lost, and what we were promised. Dawn Papatheodorou President Beach Haven West Civic Association

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Should’ve Left Phone At Home ‘Cause Th is Is A Disaster
Dear Joel, My husband and I enjoy going out to dinner and to the movies, but it is getting impossible because of cellphones! Could you please say a few words about rudeness of people who carry on loud conversations or worse yet, put their phones on speaker while dining, or who text during movies. I have asked waiters and ushers to ask them politely to stop, but the people get mad. Some have even come over and told me to mind my business. I don’t care what they’re doing this weekend or who is picking up their kids. It makes me crazy! Answer: What a great topic! I don’t understand how some people were raised. Public places are for the enjoyment of all and your ticket to a movie or check for a meal entitles you to that enjoyment. Please, readers, use your manners. We all get and receive important
calls and that is the time to excuse yourself and take the call. I too have asked people to lower their conversations; sometimes they apologize, sometimes they respond rudely. It has gotten so bad that houses of worship have to remind people to silence their phones. That is a shame. When you are out with friends or family, enjoy them and not the people calling in. If you take a call, make it short, and if it is important, leave for the lobby. Also, keep the volume down in places like parks. Some people blast their music and movies, making it difficult to enjoy nature. Let’s all connect more with each other and less with cellphones. Write to joel@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

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 compensa- Christopher R. Shea Esq. ble 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 can not be accommodated by your employer. Temporary disability through your employer is not the same as disability through the State and need not 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.

With 7 out of 10 people experiencing low back pain at some point in their lives and low back pain being one of the most common reasons for patient visits to primary care physicians as well as hospitalization, there is no doubt that low back pain exists in epidemic proportions today. Spinal decompression therapy can be used to treat disc bulges and herniations, disc degeneration, sciatica, spinal stenosis, arthritis, facet syndrome and chronic back pain in the low back. Our Vax-D Spinal decompression system is FDA cleared, and has been statistically proven to relieve the pain associated with disc degeneration, herniated discs, facet syndrome and sciatica. Surgical decompression may be warranted for candidates who fail a conservative trial of Vax-D treatment. If you have back and/or neck pain, you may be a candidate for one of our programs. At our office we will give you an honest and fair assessment of your condition and whether or not we can help you.
“Did you know that 30 million Americans suffer from back pain every day? We are the doctors of Northeast Spine and Sports Medicine, and if you suffer with lower back or leg pain, we invite you to try Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. This pain affects everything that you do, from work to play, and ultimately your quality of life. We are here to tell you that there is hope. You can get rid of your back pain and get your life back.

Why Northeast Spine and Sports Medicine?

Your specific condition will be evaluated by several doctors before a treatment plan is customized. Not only do we have excellent doctors, we use advanced medical equipment.

From the moment you walk in, you will notice the comfortable setting along with the warm greeting from our staff at the front desk. We can already assume that you don’t feel well and going to a new office for help can sometimes be uncomfortable. Our goal is to make you feel as comfortable and welcome as possible.
Vax-D Spinal Decompression Allows Back Pain to Heal…NATURALLY Many back pain conditions that we see can be helped by our state of the art Vax-D decompression table. Decompression relieves pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression achieves this by creating negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative intra-discal pressure. This creates essentially a vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc material back into the disc space and relieves pressure. This process of non-surgical decompression allows the body to heal itself naturally. Vax-D decompression tables have been successfully operating for over 15 years throughout the world and more than 3,000 patients a day receive this treatment in the U.S. alone. Vax-D is one of the FDAcleared technologies available at Northeast Spine and
“We are so confident that you will find healing and relief at our office, we will personally evaluate your condition and determine if we can help you. It’s that simple! We have opened our schedule to accept new patients, but due to demand, we are only extending this offer to the first 30 callers. Time slots fill quickly, so call today to secure your appointment.”

BUSINESS PROFILE By Robert D. Verderese Those who want an alternative to the talk show format need not look any further. Tune in to “Preferred Company” with Joel Markel, President and owner of “Preferred Home Health Care” and his co-host, M ar ianne Lev y, airing 8 to 10 a.m., Monday through Friday, on WOBM-AM (1160 and 1310). Chock-full of fun and friendly talk, along with game shows, trivia contests, nostalgia and celebrity inter views, “Preferred Company” is the perfect blend of good conversation and entertainment that is sure to please. While there are many dimensions to “ Pre ferred Company,” the one that listeners are immediately struck by is the wonderful chemistry between Joel and Marianne: “It’s like we can read each other’s minds,” Marianne says. Moreover, when you li ste n to “ Pr efe r r e d C o m p a ny,” you cannot miss the spec i a l c o nn e c tion that Joel and Marianne have: “ There really is a comfort and lightness between us that allows us to bring out the best in one another,” Joel adds. So what is it besides “good chemistry” between Joel and Marianne that makes “Preferred Company” stand out from the crowd? Well, for starters, the show’s format is almost entirely unscripted: “ We don’t know what we’re going to talk about five minutes before the show goes on the air,” Marianne
STAKES ARE HIGH
admits. For some in the radio business, the idea to do a show with no script would be a frightening prospect, but at “Preferred Company,” it is the only way to do a radio show. For instance, Joel desc r ibes the unique ness of the show in the following way: “What makes our show special is how natural the format is—it’s like we’re having coffee with you at a restaurant where any subject can be discussed at any time.” To be sure, “Preferred Company” distinguishes itself from many radio shows in that it is consistently interactive by way of phone calls and emails. Unlike many other talk shows that rarely, if ever, take phone calls or respond to emails, “Preferred Company” considers interacting with their audience as an essential part of the program.

People f rom all around the world listen to Joel and Marianne via this App: “We love “Radiopup” and how it allows us to connect with people from all types of backgrounds. It really gives our show another level of c onnectivit y — it ’s wonderful!” says Marianne. Speaking of wonderful, let’s not forget about Joel’s lovable puppy Oliver and Marianne’s “favorite,” Norman: “I love dogs and love to share dog stories with our listeners,” says Marianne. Discussing everything from the smar test

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of MARCH 25 - March 31 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): As the first week of spring unfolds your fancies may turn to thoughts of love. You might be inspired by the first daffodil peeking out of the ground or wallow in a mire of unrealistic ideas. Avoid conversational mix-ups. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Plotting and planning might be on your mind in the week ahead. Harness your vivid imagination and put it to the test. You may be energized to make money but could just as easily find ways to spend it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Fuzzy thinking is not the same thing as fuzzy logic. In the week ahead be sure to communicate clearly and avoid becoming bogged down in details. Your physical energy levels are high, so tackle odd jobs. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Too many friends can spoil the broth. You can never have too many well-wishers in your corner, but your time might be eaten up by texting and email messages in the week to come. Avoid extravagant purchases. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The more the merrier is fine until you want some rest. In the week to come your contact with numerous people might help you realize how necessary it is for you to have a special someone as the center of your life. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep your money in your pocket. You may be attracted to something or someone that is not worthy of your attention as this week unfolds. Focus on learning how to perform physical tasks or pursue constructive ideas.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are never too old to learn new tricks. You could join a group that shares your interests or widens your scope. There may be a few times in the week ahead when you think the truth has been stretched too far. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During the week to come it might seem that the more money you make the more you must spend. Your participation in group activities might cost more than you expect. Find ways to apply wisdom to your finances. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You might end up running in circles as this week unfolds. Put a puzzling problem on the back burner and concentrate on getting caught up with a backlog of essential tasks around the home and office. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t pretend to be someone you aren’t. You might think you can get away with hiding your past or your faults but it will seem silly in hindsight. In the week ahead ask friends to help you achieve your goals. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may feel it necessary to defend yourself from unwarranted criticism concerning the way you handle your possessions or bank account. You may be challenged in the week ahead to handle a tight schedule. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Win the wrestling match with your conscience. Someone might be more successful than you, but that does not diminish your innate gifts. Brief feelings of inadequacy may undermine your confidence this week.

A Perfect Pear: Late-Harvest Pears And Dried Fruit Come Together In A Sweet Spring Dessert By Wolfgang Puck
As spring arrives, there are so many good reasons for food lovers everywhere to rejoice. Yet, often, the last thing you want to do when the days are suddenly longer, brighter and warmer is to spend time in the kitchen when you have fun things waiting to be done outside, from playing with your family and friends to going for a walk to working in your garden. My favorite activity right now, not surprisingly, is to visit the farmers’ market to see what wonderful produce the season has to offer. And one of the items I enjoy the most right now is a fruit that many people associate with just autumn and winter: pears. Yes, the plump, juicy, sweet and aromatic tree fruit most often graces out tables during the holidays. But you can still find some excellent varieties for sale well into springtime, particularly elongated, brown-skinned Bosc pears, with their good, strong pear flavor and an almost crunchy texture that makes them an excellent candidate for cooking as well as eating raw. You’ll also find both green-skinned and red-skinned Anjou pears, which are plumper in shape, with a firm texture and a flavor that ranges from bright and almost lemony for the green variety to the slightly spicier red ones. That’s why I’d like to share one of my favorite simple recipes featuring pears. This home-style compote highlights the fruit’s distinctive character by briefly cooking it with tart dried cherries, fruity German- or Austrian-style white wine, a little lemon juice and a fresh vanilla bean. The recipe takes almost no time for you to prepare. All you have to do is spend a few minutes quartering, peeling and coring the pears, and then combine them with the other ingredients to marinate for an hour while you go do something else. Lastly, you cook the pears for just 15 minutes before letting them cool to room temperature for serving. Simplicity also rules in the way you serve them. Just spoon a few pear quarters, cherries and the cooking juices into serving bowls, garnish with mint, and you’re ready to enjoy a treat that tastes as fresh as springtime - and would make a perfect addition to your holiday table for Easter or Passover.
You’ll also notice, by the way, that the recipe doesn’t include even a spoonful of added sugar. That’s because the pears and the wine in which they are briefly poached provide enough sweetness on their own, making this an especially healthy dessert to enjoy at just around the time you might be thinking about fitting into your swimsuit. After all, we’re only three months away! Pear and Dried Sour Cherry Compote Serves 8 to 10 8 large firm, but ripe Bosc or Anjou pears, peeled 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 cup (250 mL) dried sour cherries 1/2 vanilla bean 2 cups (500 mL) fruity, aromatic white wine such as gewurztraminer or riesling 8 to 10 small sprigs fresh mint With a small, sharp knife, cut each pear lengthwise in half, and then remove the stem and core. Cut the halves in two and put the quarters in a medium mixing bowl. Drizzle the lemon juice and toss well to coat the pears. Loosely arrange the pear quarters in a single layer in a nonreactive 12-inch (30cm) skillet. Scatter in the dried cherries. With the small, sharp knife, cut the piece of vanilla bean lengthwise in half. With the back edge of the knife blade, carefully scrape the tiny vanilla seeds from the middle of each half. Put the seeds and the bean halves in the pan with the pears. Pour the wine over the pears, cover the skillet, and leave the pears at room temperature to marinate for about 1 hour. Leaving the pears covered, transfer the skillet to the stove over medium heat. When the wine is almost at a boil, reduce the heat to very low and cook until the pears are barely tender enough to be pierced easily with the tip of a sharp knife, about 15 minutes depending on ripeness. Transfer the pears and their liquid from the skillet to a heatproof bowl and leave to cool. Serve at room temperature, arranging 3 or 4 pear quarters in each serving bowl and then spooning the cherries and sauce over the pears. Garnish each serving with a mint sprig.
