Pro-Trump Rally Comes To Seaside Heights By Sara Grillo SEASIDE HEIGHTS –On March 25, the day after Trump’s American Health Care Act failed to draw enough votes, more than a thousand people gathered outside Beachcomber Bar & Grill on the Sea-

side Heights boardwalk for New Jersey’s Make America Great Again, or MAGA March. The rally was part of a nationwide MAGA movement in support of the president, vice president, military and first responders, with

similar rallies held across the country. A per mit for the march was reluctantly approved by Seaside Heights officials and the exact location was shared only days before, as organizers feared it would give too much

time for protestors to stage a resistance. The four-hour rally, which was scheduled to begin at 1 p.m., was filled with plenty of red clothing, American flags and signs bearing Donald Trump’s name. (Rally - See Page 4)

Rally:

Continued From Page 1 There was an overall theme of pride in the nation’s 45th president and an understanding that whoever doesn’t agree with Trump winning the election should get over it. Speakers at the rally, including several Republican candidates for New Jersey governor, were called to Beachcomber’s rooftop to speak to a growing crowd of Trump supporters below. They encouraged the cheering crowd to fight back against liberals and issues such as fake news, gun control, sanctuary cities and affordable housing. Seth Grossman kicked things off with a plea to bring the count r y back to where it was 50 years ago, to a time when he says wealth and opportunity were shared by ordinary Americans. Grossman, who ran against incumbent Governor Christie in the 2013 Republican primary, admitted that 50 years can’t be undone with one election, but asked the crowd if they were prepared to do what is necessary to move forward toward progress. He also spoke out against fake news, saying, “They are attacking us because for years we had nobody to speak for us, we had nobody in office, we were on the outside and now that we finally have a champion they are attacking him because he is defending us, and we must defend him.” Another candidate for governor, Steven Rogers, urged supporters to make a

difference by running for their local and state offices, even getting involved with their school boards or town councils. He also said that whoever is elected as the state’s next governor should be 101 percent committed to President Trump. A retired naval commander and police officer, Rogers shared a strong message about gun control, saying, “We will have in this state a law that will allow every citizen to carry a concealed weapon.” The Monmouth County Tea Party Coalition was also represented by Frank Cott. He said that what’s happening right now in Washington D.C. would be called a coup anywhere else. “We cannot allow these people to overturn our election. We cannot allow these people to speciously impeach this man or impugn him any further,” he said. During one of the speeches, a small g roup of protestors made their way through the crowd holding signs that read “Build Skools Not Walls” and “The March Is For Morons.” They were quickly escorted out by police, while marchers chanted “USA” to their backs. Other chants shouted throughout the rally included “Trump,” “build the wall” and “lock her up,” in reference to Trump’s democratic opponent Hilary Clinton. DJ Matteo emceed the event, playing mostly country music and patriotic tunes for a cheerful audience. Despite the march not being advertised as a pro-Trump rally, he shouted that the crowd was there for one thing and one thing only—support for President Trump.

awarded to Boro Construction of Marlton, represents the next step toward ensuring that America’s Army Reserve remain the most capable, combat-ready and lethal federal reserve force in the history of the nation. The groundbreaking was held March 18.

Catholic Charities’ Fix It Program Receives American Red Cross Award

back to their community, are to have a car, valid driver’s license and pass a background check. If you do not have tools, there are plenty of work requests that do not require any. In 2016, Catholic Charities’ Fix It Program provided services to 392 individual clients across Ocean County and performed 1,366 hours of volunteer work. Eighty percent of the clients are widows living alone. Many of the clients are isolated and vulnerable, so a Fix It volunteer’s visit may provide the only socialization some experience for days. Many volunteers enjoy spending some extra time sitting at the kitchen t able chat t i ng and get t i ng to k now their clients when they are done with the work.

Continued From Page 1 where his heart should be if he had one, he placed his hand over his chest and recited the pledge. Then he showed off some tai chi moves. Jaxon isn’t a precocious, ill-timed (who does tai chi at a board of education meeting?) student in the Jackson school district. Robert Rotante, the district’s STEM curriculum coordinator, showed off Jaxon, a 2-foot-tall robot programmed by computer science students. Rotante spoke with The Jackson Times several days later about Jaxon. He said the district purchased the robot with several ideas in mind: fi rst, to teach the district’s computer science students the value of computer programming and get programs right. “There’s no better way to test a program that you’re writing than to see the robot doing what you programmed it to do, and if you didn’t write the program correctly, the robot won’t do what you want it to,” Rotante said. He showed off some more of Jaxon’s programming by letting lingering stu-

The robot has facial and voice recognition, so he’ll be able to call on students and interact with them. The district believes the robot will make some special connections and breakthroughs with those special needs students. Jaxon was purchased through Perkins grant funds, a grant specif ically for technical education. The robot and curriculum cost $9,000. He’s currently shared between Liberty and Memorial high schools, but Rotante hopes the district will purchase another robot next year, again with Perkins grants, so each school will have its own robot. “STEM really is becoming the driving force behind many careers and directions society is going in, the ability for our kids to understand technology not just as their smart phone or not just going to a website, but that technology controls what’s going on in engineering, science, medicine, mathematics, being able to understand that correlation is really important,” he said.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F eAtuReD L etteR Congress Should Support Research To End Cardiovascular Disease Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a daily burden for its victims. It’s also the most costly and pervasive disease in America. New projections from the American Heart Association show that by 2035, nearly half of the U.S. population will suffer from CVD, with costs exceeding 1 trillion. In fact, expenses associated with CVD are expected to surpass medical cost estimates for other chronic diseases, including diabetes and Alzheimer’s, over the next two decades. These latest projections update ones made by the association in 2011 that estimated 100 million Americans would suffer from CVD by 2030. Disturbingly, that prediction came true in 2015. Unless deliberate and focused action is taken now

to combat this growing burden, the very disease that probably killed your great-grandparents will remain on the fast-track to kill your great-grandchildren, too. Research f unded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) remains our country’s best hope for discovering ways to prevent, treat and ultimately cure CVD – the number one and most costly killer of Americans. Congress: help wipe out the burden of CVD for every generation by supporting NIH-funded research. Together, we can make heart disease and stroke just a memory.

Celebrating Spring Where is global warming when we need it? I do look forward to the first day of spring, balmy weather, and flowers in bloom. The first days of spring is actually a perfect opportunity to turn over a new leaf in our personal habits - to clean house, to jog outdoors, and to replace animal foods with healthy, delicious vegetables, legumes, grains, and fruits. The shift toward healthy eating is everywhere. Fast-food chains like Chipotle, Quiznos, Starbucks, Subway, Taco Bell and Wendy’s offer plant-based options. Parade, Better Homes and Gardens, and Eating Well are touting vegan recipes. Google CEO Eric Schmidt views replacement of meat by plant protein as the world’s #1 technical trend. The financial investment community is betting on innovative start-ups like Beyond Meat or Impossible Foods, while warning clients about “death of meat.” Even Tyson Foods new CEO sees plant protein as the meat industry’s future. Indeed, Global Meat News reports that nearly half of consumers are reducing meat intake. Beef consumption has dropped by 43 percent in the past 40 years. Each of us can celebrate spring by checking out the rich collection of plant-based dinners and desserts in our supermarket’s frozen food, dairy, and produce sections. Hal Tubbs Toms River

Christie Only Cares About Himself Governor Christie made it clear in his recent speech that he will leave New Jersey in far worse fiscal shape than

Letters To national The Editor what he inherited. debt and clenching write to the newspapers, Whether it’s underfunded pensions, underfunded transit, underfunded schools, or his record ten credit downgrades, Governor Christie is nothing but an underperformer whose greatest accomplishment will be his ability to tie up traffic. 37 percent of New Jerseyans are struggling just to get by, and his budget does nothing to help working men and women. It shortchanges students and promotes a corrupt charter school system that drains resources from our public schools and funnels them to his Wall Street cronies. It ignores the looming crisis we face by President Trump’s ongoing threat to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Once again, it is clear Christie doesn’t care about the people of New Jersey – he only cares about his political career. We need new leadership in our state now, more than ever, which is why I’m asking for your support in my campaign for governor. Assemblyman John Wisniewski, D-19 Candidate for Governor

Obama Was An Elitist Fantasy Thank God for president Obama! After 20 years of Bush and Clinton back-pocket liberalism, Democrats thought the nation was ready for fundamental, unabashed, full-out progressivism. Obama was resoundingly elected and successfully delivered his liberal agenda through senate shenanigans of Harry Reid as well as his own use of executive decision and the regulatory state. The resulting failure of these policies has hampered our economy while ramping up

the iron fist of centralized government on Americans, to say nothing of our newly acquired international impotence. Obama’s successes were only in the eyes of the mainstream media and academia elitists. The reality shows more people out of work or in part-time low wage benefit-less jobs since the Carter years. Black America, which one might have thought would benefit the most from his presidency, has unduly suffered the worst employment record under his watch, yet he remains lionized in that community. Propped up by a fake news narrative, Democrats had a false sense that America was on its way to liberal Shangri-La. With this false sense of security in mind they offered up the worst presidential candidate possible, My Turn Hillary. Thankfully, enough of our constitutional republic remains that this con job of bull-pooky was defeated. Now it’s the Democrats turn to regroup, if they can get past their own pity party and offer up solutions in a Republican controlled congress, rather than the current mode of obstructionism.

Make A Difference Enough! Time for the cyber bullying and Facebook civil war to stop! It is over! Time to come together and get behind our words by deeds... In the immortal words of past men and women who have inspired us, the time has come for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Or, “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.” It is time to put your words into deeds – enough protesting! Don’t be behind the sign – be the sign! Get up and get going. Just do it! Now is the perfect time for action, to be held accountable to mature and act responsibly. Get out there! You have a cause and want to be heard? Well, write your elected officials,

hold the media responsible for honest journalism. Take a stand! There are many people waiting for a handout and many more just waiting for a hand. If you have the money and ability, pay it forward. If you don’t, volunteer! You will not only be helping others but also be helping yourself to heal, to mend, to become unbroken. There are so many opportunities to make a real difference. Help build a house for the homeless, or rebuild one for someone who has lost it all! Volunteer at a homeless shelter, soup kitchen, pack packages for soldiers near and abroad who are protecting our rights to protest, our liberty and our freedom. Join the military! Walk a dog, especially for someone who is homebound and cannot do the simple tasks the rest of us take for granted. Help out at a youth program or start one; learn face painting or clowning, singing, dancing and volunteer your skills at a hospital and hold the hand of someone going through dialysis or cancer treatment or a child so unsure of their daily regimen, so full of doubt or fear, or the hand of someone who is dying. Work on a hotline you may just be the encouragement someone needs. You may just save a life! Whatever your cause may be – environmental issues, women’s or men’s rights, LGBTQ rights, animal rights, health issues, whatever – make a difference! Remember this: every day we all get up, put our feet on the ground and face our daily challenges. All of us. Whether it be fighting disease, disability, prejudice, bullying, addiction, abuse, heartache or heartbreak, isolation, depression or loneliness, we all can use a helping hand! Remember to do random acts of kindness but most of all remember to be kind. In your words, your actions, your deeds. Don’t be a nobody. Be a somebody to someone. Make every day count!

Congressman Chris Smith Wants Better Flood Insurance Policies For New Jerseyans From The Desk Of

Congressman Chris Smith JACKSON – During a series of recent meetings, Rep. Ch r is Smith ( NJ04) expressed his deep concern with the Office of Management and Budget’s proposed 2018 Budget Blueprint to Majority Whip Steve Scalise (LA01), who also represents a district recently ravaged by floods, and Rep. Sean Duff y (W I- 07). Smith, who stressed the impor-

tance of a fully funded National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) during the meetings, said he appreciated the opportunity to come together and discuss this topic with Scalise a nd D uf f y a nd that he looks forward to working together as the NFIP reauthorization moves through Committee. “This Blueprint proposes to strip federal funding

from NFIP and increase the costs on vulnerable families and businesses, whose f lood insu rance premiums are already skyrocket i ng,” said Sm it h in a letter handed to the Major it y W h ip du r i ng a meeting. “The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the NFIP’s Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a cut of $190 million. With National Flood Insurance Policy holders in all 50 states as well as 5 territories and the District of Columbia, this issue truly has a national impact.” Nationwide, there are over 5 million NFIP policies, 231,000 of which

are held by families and businesses in New Jersey. According to FEMA, the average policy holder will pay $878 for flood insurance — costs that are in addition to their standard home owner’s insurance premiums—in 2017, a total that rises to over $1,000 once fees and surcharges included. These rates represent a 9 percent increase over 2016 rates. “These rate increases a re bu rden s pla ced on homeowners above and beyond cu r rent prem iums and the out-of-pocket amounts that homeowners affected by Superstor m Sandy here in New Jersey, and the ‘1000-year

rain’ that took place last year in Louisiana, are still paying,” said Smith, who has been joined by other House Members from the New Jersey delegation in this fight. Smith also discussed his legislation, the Federal Disaster Assistance Nonprofit Fairness Act, which would help Houses of Worship recover from natural disasters such as floods. FEMA has argued that Houses of Worship are precluded by law from being interpreted as facilities that provide essential services of a governmental nature—a prohibition that does not align with facts on the ground.

“Houses of Worship are usually the first to open their doors to victims of these disasters and the last to turn the lights off during the cleanup efforts,” said Smith. “It is unconscionable that foundational pillars of our communities have been categorically denied access to these otherwise generally-available funds.” Smith’s bill, originally co-sponsored by Rep. Grace Meng (NY-06) and Rep. Pete King (NY-02), has previously passed the house 354 -72, however was not taken up before the Senate. Smith plans on reintroducing this legislation later this congress.

Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program Kicks Oﬀ

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County is kicking off its annual free Household Hazardous Waste Collection program on April 1 with its first 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 pounds, at a cost of $123,688. The program is funded in part by the State Recycling Enhancement Act Tax Fund. “This free program, 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 entering our waterways and our preserved lands,” said Ocean County Freeholder Direc-

tor 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 citizens in any Ocean 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 Stafford Township Public 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 Township 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. Residents can drop off a maximum of 200 pounds of dry material and 20 gallons of liquid at the County’s household hazardous waste collection sites. No containers over five gallons will be accepted. Materials accepted at the household hazardous waste collection sites are: paints, thinners, boat paints, solvents, pool chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, aerosol cans, auto products, toilet and drain cleaners, silver polishes, oven cleaners, photographic chemicals, rug and upholstery cleaners, polishes and bleaches, waste oil and used gasoline.

Little noted that additional dates, times and locations will be announced in the near future. The three spring dates will be serviced by Radiac Environmental Services at a cost of 45 cents a pound.

Program information also can be found on the county website at co.ocean.nj.us or by calling 1-800-55-RECYCLE. “Spring is the time of year when people are cleaning out garages, basements and

attics,” Little said. “We encourage our residents to use this free program to make certain chemicals, cleaners, solvents and other items we use around the house are disposed of properly.”

Prior to August 1966, there was no particular pattern to the list that was maintained, and examination of the files reveal that the occasions were built up over the years upon the request of various private and public organizations that were interested in particular dates. The repeated placement of a number of these wreaths through the years led to the development of the “President’s Approved Wreath List” approved by President Johnson on August 11, 1966, and further expanded with the passing of additional former presidents.

CentraState Adds Latest Robotic Technology To Its Surgical Capabilities

FREEHOLD – CentraState Medical Center recently enhanced its current da Vinci minimally invasive robotic surgical system with the latest-generation da Vinci Xi robot.

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

Five Ways You Can Damage Your Hearing Without Knowing It

AFFORDABLE YOGA IN HOWELL!

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the most common type of hearing loss, but folks aren’t always sure where their hearing loss comes from. There are some fairly obvious ways to damage your hearing, such as listening to music at excessive volumes, or firing weapons without hearing protection. Then there are situations where protecting your hearing doesn’t seem very important, but doing so might actually prevent further damage. Consider the following sneaky causes of hearing loss. Workplace Noise: Although many construction and manufacturing jobs state that hearing protection should be worn at all times on the job, these warnings are not always adhered to. Those who wear hearing protection may not be wearing it at all times; it may be removed to talk with co-workers or supervisors despite close proximity to high-noise producing machines, and depending upon how loud those machines are, damage can be caused fairly quickly. Even with hearing protection, noise damage can slowly accumulate and wear on the delicate hair cells in the inner ear. Ototoxic Medication: Ototoxic medications are drugs such as painkillers that have chemical properties that make them toxic to the sensory cells in the ear. Painkillers taken in high quantity create not only a risk for dependency but for losing hearing as well; strong pain medications first cause a ringing in the ears before

beginning to have adverse effects on hearing, but the impairment often goes away after discontinued use. Smoking: Because of the impact and high profile of major diseases caused by smoking, potential hearing damage as a side effect of smoking often flies under the radar. But nicotine is a vasoconstrictor that causes blood vessels to shrink slightly, restricting blood flow to the inner ear and preventing oxygen from reaching it. Over a lifetime, this “suffocates” the ear. Public Transportation: The squeal and grind of light rails, trains, and even buses coming to a stop have the potential to cause hearing damage to daily riders of public transportation because they’re constantly exposed to noise. Rough or curved tracks prevent smooth rides, leading to more noise. And those who are waiting for their bus or train are exposed to potential traffic on a busy street which can sometimes reach levels of 100 dB or more. Attending Sporting Events Due in part to the nature of sporting events, watching athletes perform-the danger of noise is often forgotten. Many stadiums still manifest crown noise dangerous enough to damage hearing. Seattle’s CenturyLink Field last year posted a decibel record of 137.6 enough to cause permanent damage in 30 seconds. Noise levels of 115 dBs or more-about the equivalent of a concert, are not uncommon but are safe to experience for only 15 minutes.

H eRe ’ s t o Y ouR H eAltH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

The Best Strategies To Control Seasonal Allergies By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I know so many of you suffer from seasonal allergies this time of year. In my teens and twenties, I was super allergic to cats, dust and pollen but by the time I hit 31, I was virtually perfect. Still, even today at 52 years old, I can wipe down the car and porch furniture from pollen, and play with cats. Sam says I’m still virtually perfect, lol! Anyway, in my youth, my immune system was weak, I took all kinds of antihistamines to no avail, but I changed my life by giving my diet a complete makeover and changing the bed linens. I’ll help you right now too. Doctors often prescribe antihistamines to block your body’s histamine reaction, which causes the breathing problems and runny nose. They also prescribe corticosteroids to reduce inflammation but unfortunately those further suppress immune function. Some medications cause drowsiness and dry mouth while others cause ridiculous insomnia, stomach pain, aggression and psychosis. Children get attention deficit problems and nightmares. As much as I approve of quick-fix allergy pills for instant relief, they’re not ideal to take for the rest of your life. Do you want to cover it up or fix it once and for all? The best alternative to medication is to revamp the way you eat. You have major control of your immune system health and the fury of its reactivity to antigens like pollen. Your immune cells reside in your gut and so you can control how touchy those cells are by feeding them better. When I say this out loud to

people, I often hear “Ah whatever, I’ll eat what I want to, and just take this pill, it’s a lot easier.” True, but over time, your immune function weakens leaving you open to more and more allergies and major health problems. If you truly want to get better, do what I did. Eat clean, organic fruits and veggies. Juice them, eat them and cook with them. They’re high in fiber and keep your digestion moving. Pineapple is particularly good due to the high content of bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme. Sprinkle ‘warm’ spices on your food like ginger, garlic, cayenne and cinnamon because these thin mucous. Local honey might be helpful to sensitize you to local pollens. Green superfood powder drink mixes are potent detoxifiers of the intestinal tract. You’ll have to cut out or dramatically reduce intake of dairy products which have been tightly associated with allergies/asthma and consume less wheat and soy-based products. Those last two categories are heavily refined and may be genetically modified (GMO). There is a longer version of this article at my website with more food tips, but right now I’ll share lifestyle strategies that could easily change your life. Buy new pillows and blankets and switch to something hypoallergenic, for example, exchange down for organic cotton. Wrap the mattress with a bed-bug cover. Take a shower before bed and if that’s not possible, at least run a wet brush through your hair (it gets the pollen out). And finally, when the season is upon you, keep your windows closed.

“Right Turns” Video Highlights The Dangers Of Sexting

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato announced the release of the newest video in the Right Turns video series on the topic of Sexting, titled “Will You Hit Send?” The video is a 16-minute action drama movie with the goal of highlighting the consequences of using social media for sending, receiving, and/or displaying

sexually explicit or sexually suggestive communications over the internet. The film’s target audience is middle and high school students; but it can also be used as an educational tool for parents who have children with cell phones and access to the internet. The film was scripted by E-Video Productions of Toms River in collaboration

with members of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Juvenile Unit. Filming took place at various locations around Ocean County, including Manchester High School and at E-Video Production’s studio in Toms River. It is the fi fth video in the Right Turns series. The main characters in the movie are played by Ocean County Vocational

School/Performing Arts Academy members Payton Crispe, Sarah Osman and Jakob Walsh. Extras and speaking parts are played by Brendan Paparella, Ryleigh McDonald, Shannon Rabbitt, Amanda Ruby, Emily Gulden, Adina Paciello, Tom Johnson and Zach Zabarsky. No taxpayer dollars are used in the production of the Right Turns video series, as videos are made using drug forfeiture funds collected from criminal narcotic activity. The videos are a great visual tool for Ocean County educators and are shown to parents at PTA and back to school functions. The entire Right Turns video series can be downloaded and shared from at: ocean countyprosecutor.org.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

264 Grawtown Rd.│ Jackson, NJ 08527 │ 732.859.0135

Twins Feud, Mother Worries

Dear Joel, I never thought this could happen. I am the mother of twin boys (now men). All their lives they’ve been the best of friends. The boys recently had a bitter fight and vowed never to speak to each other. One is about to get married. It’s bad enough that brothers, especially twins could get to this place, but to not attend the wedding, well it’s just heartbreaking. Should I intervene or just let them try to resolve things? Neither has budged an inch and with the wedding just a couple months away, I am starting to panic. Answer: As a parent, next to being healthy, you always hope your kids will be friends. But even though blood may be thicker than water, it may not be thicker than heads. It’s a heartbreak to see children fight, and the

fact that your boys are twins just makes it all the worse. I know you want to make things better before the big day, but sometimes that doesn’t always work. As adults, I’m sure they must understand the ramifications their feud will have, and it doesn’t seem to bother them. W hy don’t you just concentrate on the joyousness of the wedding and all the friends and family you will see and try to let their fight not ruin things. That being said, a little mother’s guilt is a powerful weapon. See if a long sigh, or a bitten lip will get things moving in a happier direction. You never know! 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

SAME DAY EMERGENCY VISITS

Volunteer Coaches Needed For Girls On The Run Central Jersey NEW JERSEY – Through the Girls on the Run program, girls are inspired to be joyful, healthy and confident by using a fun, experience-based curriculum that integrates running. Volunteer coaches meet twice a week for 10 weeks with either third through fifth grade or sixth through eighth grade girls, to encourage them to create lives that reach their full potential. Coaches discuss difficult topics such as bullying, body image and peer pressure to help the girls form strong bonds of trust and friendship with friends and team members. Through running games and goal setting, the girls increase their endurance to compete in a special 5K Race at the close of the session. It is an amazing experience to see girls that could not even walk once around a track crossing the fi nish line of a 5K, arms raised with smiles that could light up any room. For many, it is a real lesson in challenging themselves and accomplishing goals with hard work and perseverance. There are Girls on the Run of Central New Jersey sites throughout Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset, Ocean and Camden counties, with sites at many schools, recreation centers and parks. Over 2,000 girls are served at over 60 sites in those counties. The spring season starts April 3, with culminating 5K races in Fair Haven on June 4 and Somerville on June 11. Registration and site information can be found at gotrcnj.org. Contact Donna York at 908-285-9202 or york@girlsontherun.org for more information.

Gardens:

Continued From Page 1 residential homes, an audience for future commercial development, he said. The property, located near Route 195, would be installed in stages, with various developers taking portions of it. First will be The Gardens at Jackson 21, one and two-bedroom apartments over a walkable downtown, with theaters and artistic spaces. Second will be The Ponds at Jackson 21. Accord i ng to Melissa DeMayo, director of property management for Walters Homes, the Bar negat-based company building this portion of the development, there will be 87 units.

T he re w ill be 16 one -bed room , 53 two-bedroom, and 18 three-bedroom units. They expect it to open at the end of next year. The third portion will be town homes in the $300,000s. “The resale market in Jackson is moving higher than that. We’re trying to be lower than 1-acre single family homes,” he said. Early in the development process, Leigh’s project was frowned upon as more sprawl. However, as the lower nu mb e r of b e d r o o m s m e a nt fe we r children in school, off icials star ted welcoming it. The Jackson Township school district did not return a call to discuss the school impact of this project. Officials welcomed more commercial

opportunities as well. Bovino said that the business aspect will be mom-andpop shops, and locally owned stores that would be more common in downtown neighborhoods. These are the types of businesses that millennials and educated consumers will go out of their way to find. They would be environmentally friendly, socially-conscious shops that would offer careers, not just jobs. “Socially-minded people are attracted to the kind of businesses we want. People who will pay a few cents to do the right thing,” he said. The commercial aspect will have to wait until there are residences to utilize them, he said. “We want to get the residential energy

going first. That’s what the market is giving us,” he said. Another option they are researching is a mixed use place where residential, office and commercial is mingled, using Bell Works in Monmouth County as an example. They are targeting millennials and empty nesters who do not necessarily want to live in a gated com munit y. Of the 510 apartments, 72 would help meet the tow n’s affordable housing regulations. Leigh had a metaphor comparing it to a snowball, Bovino said. “You keep feeding it and let it become “a place,” not just a project. Once we get to a certain point, the momentum will take it.”

Be Healthy For Good With Healthy Snacking

NEW JERSEY – A healthy diet and lifestyle are the best weapons in the fight against heart disease, the No. 1 killer of Americans. Healthy For Good is the American Heart Association’s new movement to inspire all Americans to live healthier lives and create lasting change. It focuses on the simple idea that making small, incremental changes today can create a difference for generations to come.

Healthy For Good is built on four pillars: Eat smart. Add color. Move more. Be well. When it comes to eating, making smart choices will benefit heart health and overall health. The American Heart Association recommends that you eat a wide variety of nutritious foods daily. Incorporating even simple, small changes can make a big difference in living a healthier life and can help prevent obesity,

diabetes, heart disease and stroke. When hunger strikes, it’s a good idea to have healthy snacks nearby to avoid unhealthy temptations. Plan ahead for healthy snacking and include foods rich in fiber (whole grains, nuts, vegetables, and fruits), potassium (oranges, potatoes, cantaloupe) and omega-3 fatty acids (make mix with walnuts, pumpkin seeds and ground flaxseeds to sprinkle on

meals or eat as a snack). Try colorful foods to get antioxidant-rich flavonoids in your diet. “Keeping healthy snacks available at home for your family will help avoid unhealthy and empty-calorie-filled snacking,” said Mandy Unanski Enright, MS, RDN, RYT, volunteer for the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association and Media Representative for the New Jersey Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. “Snacking isn’t ‘bad’ if you do it in moderation. The trick is to plan snacks into your day, watch calories and make healthy choices.” To snack the sensible way, choose nutrient-rich snacks like those listed below. When craving something crunchy try apples, carrot and celery sticks, or radishes. When looking to quench thirst, try water, unsweetened juices or fat-free milk. For “munchy” snacks, try unsalted seeds and nuts, low-fat or fat-free yogurt, low-fat or fat-free cheese. For something sweet, try baked apple, fresh fruit, or a thin slice of angel food cake Join the Healthy For Good movement at heart.org/HealthyForGood for tips, tools and hacks that make healthy living easy.

Catholic Charities’ Fix It Program Receives American Red Cross Award

OCEAN COUNTY – John McCrone, Fix It Program Volunteer Supervisor was selected as Outstanding Partner of 2017 by the American Red Cross for the life-saving contributions of the Fix It Program. The Fix-It Program of Catholic Charities’ Community Services in Ocean County performs minor home repairs for senior citizens or caregivers aged 60 and over who reside in the county. It was established to help seniors live safely and independently in their homes. The Fix-It Program is always seeking volunteers who want to give back to their local communities by helping those who have given so much throughout their lives. Individuals do not need to be a “handy man” to be a Fix-It Program volunteer, just handy. The only requirements to become a volunteer, aside from a desire to give back to their community, are to have a car, valid driver’s license and pass a background check. If you do not have tools, there are plenty of work requests that do not require any. In 2016, Catholic Charities’ Fix It Program provided services to 392 individual clients across Ocean County and performed 1,366 hours of volunteer work. Eighty percent of the clients are widows living alone. Many of the clients are isolated and vulnerable, so a Fix It volunteer’s visit may provide the only socialization some experience for days. Many volunteers enjoy spending some extra time sitting at the kitchen table chatting and getting to know their clients when they are done with the work. If interested in volunteering, contact John McCrone, Fix-It Program Volunteer Coordinator at 973-363-5322, ext. 3234.

Inside The Law Insurance For Homeowners

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Marc S. Galella, Esq. and Robert Shea, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates

When buying a house, you should know about the different types of insurance you may need to protect your new home. The purchase of a house is probably the biggest investment most people will ever make so you should consider the various insurances available to protect your investment. Here are some of the forms of insurance that you should consider: Homeowners/Fire Insurance Often called “hazard” insurance by most mortgage lenders, this type of insurance will protect you in the event of a fire or other such casualty loss. There are several components to this kind of insurance. Casualty covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding your house in the event of a fi re, wind damage, etc. You should also have coverage for the contents, i.e. your personal property located in the house. In addition, your homeowners policy will usually provide you with liability coverage to reimburse third parties for personal injury or property damage which you may cause to them. It is a good idea to make a list of all the items in your home and/or take photos of them in the event that you need to make a claim. If you have homeowners insurance, make sure that you have guaranteed replacement cost. Your homeowners policy may also give you coverage to allow you to stay in alternate housing in the event that you cannot occupy your house for a period of time due to covered damage. Flood insurance As many people found out after Superstorm Sandy, homeowners insurance does not cover you for damage resulting from f looding. Homeowners insurance may cover damage resulting from a broken pipe or other such causes, but it provides no coverage for any water that enters your house from the exterior. In addition to providing coverage for the repair/replacement of the structure of your house, you should also consider getting flood insurance coverage

for the contents of your house. Marc S. Galella Esq. Earthquake insurance Most standard homeowners insurance policies will exclude coverage for damage caused by earthquakes or other such ground movement. Although earthquakes are not common in New Jersey, they are not unheard of. Remember the Northeast earthquake of August 2011? Although this widely felt earthquake did relatively little damage in New Jersey, most people do not realize that they may have had no coverage if they did experience damage. Personal umbrella policy This is an inexpensive form of liability insurance coverage for when liability to a third party exceeds the coverages afforded by your standard insurance policies (homeowners or automobile). In most cases a policy with $1,000,000 of coverage will cost less than $200 per year. Coverages are available for up to $5,000,000. The drawback is that you may have to increase the limits on your automobile coverage. You should consult a licensed insurance agent to help you decide what types of insurances and the limits of coverages you need to protect yourself and your home. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of April 1 - April 7 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Social activities can keep you occupied all week long. Hard work and a business-like attitude about material affairs can put you on the top of the heap. Networking can add dollars as well as smiles. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Defeat is not measured by how much you lose but by how soon you quit. In the week to come you have ample energy to see projects through to the finish. Tap into a storehouse of determination to resist failure. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You might find a way to change your luck without changing anything. Keep your cellphone battery charged in the week ahead. Communications could become frequent and complicated as activity levels increase. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Regroup to regain ground. Some friends may come and some may go in the week ahead. It might be in your best interests to shift your allegiances. You may be expected to be at the beck and call of some people. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Work related situations could come full circle. Attention to the smallest details could take up extra time as this week unfolds but will be well worth the extra effort. Ask for advice and information when money is at stake. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When you feel you have plenty you can be careless about finances. It might be wise to conduct a reality check and make sure there is enough cash to cover the budget. Avoid spending sprees in the week ahead.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sparkle and shine as you network your way to the top in the week to come. Rather than using the same old tactics when dealing with relationships and business matters you might find it suits you better to try something new. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Friendships can be forged with flair. Put yourself in the public eye where your talents are better appreciated. You will find ingenious ways to overcome the objections of an opposing party in the week to come. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have a talent for taming technology. Use a methodical approach to plug in a new computer, install software, or deal with detailed creative work in the upcoming week. You might enjoy five minutes of fame. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t take good luck for granted. Follow up on agreements and send a thank you note when needed. If you must make a crucial decision in the week ahead, dig up the details with some diligent hard work. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Courtesy is always in style. Your warmth and willingness to try something new is an asset as long as you don’t overstep the bounds of propriety. Do not take short cuts when etiquette is expected this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can’t control the winds so you must adjust your sails. It may take longer than expected to make headway causing frustration. You will get the best results by following the rules to the letter in the week ahead.

Spring In Your Step: Bright Spices Spruce Up A Main-Course Salad By Wolfgang Puck

INDIAN-SPICED SALMON WITH LENTIL SALAD AND CUCUMBER RAITA Serves 4 For the tandoori seasoning: 3 tablespoons moderately spicy curry powder 2 teaspoons mild or hot paprika 1 teaspoon ground turmeric 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom For the tandoori salmon: 4 salmon fillets, about 4 ounces (125 g) each, skinned 2 cups (500 mL) nonfat plain yogurt 1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh lime juice 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 2 tablespoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 teaspoons ground coriander 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon mild or hot paprika 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric For the lentil salad: 1 cup (250 mL) dried green lentils, sorted and rinsed 1 medium yellow onion, cut into large chunks, plus 1/4 cup (60 mL) finely chopped yellow onion 1 medium carrot, cut into large chunks 1 celery stalk, cut into large chunks 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1/2 cup (125 mL) nonfat Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar 1 tablespoon honey 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/2 Japanese cucumber, cut into 1/4inch (6-mm) dice For the cucumber raita: 1 Japanese cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks 1/4 red onion, cut into chunks 2 tablespoons honey 1 teaspoon packaged moderately spicy curry powder 2 cups (500 mL) fresh cilantro leaves 1 cup (250 mL) fresh mint leaves 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) nonfat Greek yogurt

For serving: 4 cups (1 L) packed baby arugula leaves 1 medium fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly shaved 8 red radishes, trimmed and thinly shaved About 8 hours before serving, prepare the tandoori seasoning and salmon: Stir together the curry powder, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cumin, nutmeg, ginger and cardamom. Lightly season the salmon with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the tandoori seasoning. Place in a nonreactive bowl, cover, and refrigerate for about 2 hours. In a separate bowl, stir together the yogurt, lemon juice, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, ginger, oil, coriander, salt, paprika, turmeric and 2 tablespoons more tandoori seasoning. Pour this mixture over the salmon, turn to coat, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for about 6 hours. Meanwhile, make the lentil salad: In a large saucepan, combine the lentils, onion chunks, carrot, celery, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add cold water to cover well. Bring to a boil over high heat; then, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the lentils are tender, about 45 minutes. Drain thoroughly. Discard the vegetable chunks. Transfer the lentils to a medium bowl. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, vinegar, honey, remaining salt, and sugar. Fold in the diced cucumber and finely chopped onion. Stir into the lentils. Cover and refrigerate. Up to 1 hour before serving, make the cucumber raita: In a blender, combine the cucumber, onion, honey and curry powder. Blend until smooth. Pulse in the cilantro and mint. Add the yogurt and pulse 2 or 3 times to blend. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate. To cook the salmon, preheat a nonstick stovetop ridged grill pan, a countertop electric grill or the broiler. Cook the salmon until nicely browned on both sides but still moist within, 5 to 7 minutes total. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss together the arugula, fennel and radishes. Arrange on serving plates. Spread lentil salad on top. Place a grilled salmon fillet on the lentils. Garnish with some cucumber raita, passing the rest at the table.
