By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – It was a day of fun, food, family and music wrapped in red, white and blue but the true meaning of the holiday wasn’t lost along the way during the township’s Memorial Day Parade and service held afterwards.

Jackson’s tribute to America’s fallen from the armed forces began with a parade which included various scouting organizations, church groups, the township’s two high school bands, emergency response units and various veteran organizations.

The parade lined up at Holman Elementary and proceeded down Manhattan Street and through Johnson Park where a memorial ceremony was held.

Both events were co-sponsored by the Ja c k s o n Tow n s h i p Police Department’s

Police Benevolent Association No. 168 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4703. Police Off icer Mike Basso served as parade coordinator for the second year in a row.

Gun Owners Group Takes Aim At Fingerprinting Requirements

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON - A prior requirement calling for additional fi ngerprinting for firearm applicants after a two year period is no longer being enforced by the township’s police department.

Council President Rob Nixon clarified the issue during a May 28 Council meeting where a firearms organization took aim at Township Police Chief Matthew Kunz for requiring multiple fingerprinting for firearm applicants.

Hightstown resident Alex “Aljandro” Roubian, the president and managing editor of the New Jersey Second Amendment Society (NJ2AS) questioned Nixon before and during the evening’s session concerning what the chief’s policy was.

According to the or-

ganization’s website, the NJ2AS is a civil rights advocacy group “that fights against u n r e a s o n a ble g u n laws. We believe in responsible ownership and use of firearms (the right to carry) as part of our rights as Americans under the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights.”

The website also states that g roup’s mission is to “educate the public and the legislature on the safe and responsible use of firearms, laws, and policies to protect our freedoms.”

In articles that appear on the group’s website, the organization has characterized Kunz of placing “personal feelings and agenda above the law and the Constitution.”

The group’s criticism comes from the chief’s (Issue - See Page 7)

Reward Offered For Info On Vandalism

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – The Jewish War Veterans of the USA is offering $500 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those who vandalized a vacant home on Valley Road.

The home, slated for demolition, was vandalized with racist and anti-Semitic graffiti at some time between April 19 and April 30.

The home sits on 10 acres and is 400 feet from the roadway.

Mayor Michael Reina recently met with the group, including the state’s Commander Jeffrey M. Sohn.

“Someone out there knows something. Even the smallest bit of information can help bring those responsible to justice. This is more than

just vandalism, this was an act of hatred. The good people of Jackson will not tolerate this inexcusable behavior and I’m confident we will work together to see that this does not happen again,” Reina said.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Jackson Township Police Department at 732-928-1111.

Parade:

Continued From Page 1 said. “We have some veterans groups among the 20 or 30 organizations we have participating in the parade.”

The front of the Holman school was a staging area for those ready to march or drive down the parade route. It also proved a good place for group shots which the leaders of Cub Scout Pack 204 did as their nine members assembled.

Six members of the Winding Ways Association assembled. Member Dave Gould said the veterans organization has 50 members.

Fellow member Richard Pudlin said that Winding Ways is the only one of the township’s four 55 and older gated communities that have such a veterans organization made up of those who served in a branch of the military.

“We mostly have World War II, Korean War and Vietnam war veterans,” Gould said.

Marvin Stern added, “I’ve been a member of the group since it started three years ago.

We’ve done the parade each year.”

Caroline White serves as chaplain of the Jackson American Legion Post 504. She joined the members of the Legion who also marched in the parade.

“The (Jackson) VFW has a nice tradition as they invite veterans and their families to come for refreshments afterwards. My uncle was killed on Christmas eve while fighting in the Battle of the Bulge,” she said.

That battle, also known as the Ardennes Counteroffensive, took place from Dec. 16, 1944 to Jan. 25 1945, and was the last major German offensive campaign on the Western Front during World War II. Her husband, John White, joined his fellow parishioners and its Knights of Columbus Council 6201 from the Church of St. Monica.

Legion member Barry J. Kakos took the opportunity to promote the June 3 Golf Tournament fundraiser for the state’s Mission of Honor program.

The Mission of Honor is a long-term project, following local, state and national laws, in cooperation with funeral directors, the federal Veterans Administration, and the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs with interments at Brigadier General William C Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery.

Likewise, Jackson Elks members had fliers on hand for the NJ Elks Veterans and Motorcycle Committee’s 7th Annual Jim Hall Memorial benefit for Homeless Veterans Picnic and Ride to be held on June 22 at the Jackson Elks Lodge at 1059 East Veterans Highway. For information on that fundraiser call 732-363-4101 or e-mail jimHallHomelessVets@gmail.com.

Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts riding in a wooden miniature pirate ship, fire trucks, construction trucks, ambulances, police vehicles and the occasional float and classic car made their way down the parade route.

Vice Council President Barry Calogero jokingly took credit for the sunshine and mild temperatures of the morning as he joined Council President Robert Nixon and Councilman Andrew Kern. Council(Parade - See Page 14)

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER “Hard Cap” On Taxes Is Nothing More Than A Name On July 3, 2010 Governor Christie reached a bipartisan consensus with Legislative leaders to provide long-awaited property tax relief for beleaguered New Jerseyans they called it a hard cap of 2 percent. Any waivers from this cap would have to be granted by a vote of the people, not the bureaucrats of a local board.

An override referendum would have to be approved by a simple majority of the voters. What seemed to be the answer to New Jersey’s runaway real estate tax problem was short lived. This year Little Egg Harbor Township has increased its proposed 2019-20 budget of 6.9-cent per $100 of assessed value to $.742 exceeding the cap by 8 percent.

One would think that such a hike in the tax rate a cap override referendum would apply, think again.

What most taxpayers do not know is that the 2 percent hard cap is not so hard because the law allows for exemptions from the cap that could be used for debt service payments, pension payments, and increase in health insurance costs.

And if all those exemp-

tions were not enough to keep any increase off the ballot lawmakers introduced another little known loophole called “banked cap.” This little but popular wrinkle in the law makes a mockery of the “hard cap.”

If a municipal or school budget is increased by less than 2 percent in a previous year, officials can exceed the 2 percent by that amount in a subsequent year. Even the name “banked cap” may have been created to confuse property owners. The only thing that has been “banked” here is the ability to raise taxes above the 2 percent cap without asking voters to say “yes.” Hard cap, Soft cap or No cap, we have gone the full circle. Beware of politicians when they make campaign promises that state “With my strong work ethic my agenda would be to stabilize or lower taxes” or “My goal has been, and continues to be, consciousness of our tax rates in order to keep them stable and/or reduce them” Art Mooney Little Egg Harbor

Murphy Gutted Bill That Would Shed Light On Dark Money We know here in New Jersey that outsiders often think of us as having an attitude, and to an extent, there’s some truth to that.

We have strong opinions and will defend them passionately if we disagree.

Some of the stereotypes about our home are overblown, but we can agree all over Joisey when getting cawfee for yous guys, that ones about corruption hit a little too close to the mark for anyone’s liking.

Why are we running our gover n ment like something out of the Sopranos?

When it comes to our political process, there is too much untraceable money, and it is definitely getting in the way of having a government that works for the voters.

Recently, a coalition of groups in the state, including Wolf-PAC and Represent.US, began working toward legislation that would shed some light on this dark money. The result was the unassumingly named S-1500, a detailed bill specifying campaign finance reform and transparency. This bill received strong popular support, leading to a passage in both chambers of the state legislature by a bipartisan majority, and there was not a single opposing vote in the Senate. Surely, this would be a new day for New Jersey politics, or at least the start of a new path.

Ent e r Gove r nor Ph i l Mu r phy. D e s pit e h ig h hopes, after over a month of no action or comment, the Gover nor has, with lit tle fanfare but much commentary in his twenty page document, perfor med some “ext reme dentistry” on S-1500, effe ct ively re mov i ng it s teeth by way of conditional veto. One has to won-

Letters To The Editor der what the motivations self-interest, meaning po- to need immediate attenare behind dismantling common-sense legislation with such strong popular and bipartisan support.

Governor Murphy makes a claim that the bill, as written, might get challenged in court and that there are some sources of dark money it does not address, but his solution is to weaken the bill, which is counterproductive. This is akin to shopping for a cake that serves 12, but only f inding cakes that serve 10, and since you don’t know if everybody will like the cake, you buy a pie that serves 8 instead, even though nobody asked for pie in the first place.

We do know that there has been an ongoing spat between Governor Murphy and Senate President Sweeney. Senator Sweeney has suppor ted this bill, including a portion that would force disclosure of donors by groups such as New Direction New Je r sey, a 501(c) 4 t h at favor s a nd is r u n

by Gover nor Mu r phy’s for mer campaign member, who is also a county freeholder. New Direction New Jersey had previously pledged to reveal who its donors were, but never came through. Perhaps of more interest, and more irksome to Governor Murphy, is the portion of the bill that bans elected off icials f rom involvement with independent expenditure committees.

Freeholder Brendan Gill would be forced to choose between his elected office and remaining with New Di re ct ion New Je r sey, but would not be able to continue in both capacities. It would seem to be com mon sen se t hat a n elected of f icial should not be involved in such groups, but this part of the bill would be removed

by Gover nor Mu r phy’s conditional veto.

At best, this is political in-fighting. At worst, this is a personal favor for

litical corruption. Either way, we mu st de m a nd better of our government.

We need to speak up, and we can make our voices heard through our Senators and Assemblypeople, by telling them to override Governor Murphy’s veto.

This should not be about political parties, or taking sides within the r uling party. This is about preser ving and protecting the integrity of our government and the electoral process.

Action has to happen!

Call your representatives and demand an override of Governor Murphy’s conditional veto of S-1500.

You can get more information on this, including help with contacting your representatives, by contacting Wolf-PAC NJ at newjersey@wolf-pac. com .

What Happened To The Gas Tax Money?

I recently read testimony from Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd), to the House Transportation Committee, regarding the infrastructure in Ocean County. According to Congressman Kim, due to many years of neglect f rom Washington and increased use, the infrastructure system throughout the State of New Jersey faces massive challenges. The Congressman adds that in his district alone there are 44 structurally deficient bridges with another 155 in need of repair.

In the article, Congressman Kim touches on several specific areas that appear

tion due to people’s lives being put in jeopardy. What the Congressman does not mention is the increase in gasoline tax that our previous and present governors imposed on all d r ivers within our state to go directly to infrastr uct ure repair. After these increases, any driver purchasing gasoline in the great State of New Jersey, has had to fork over almost an additional 30 cents per gallon, toward the gasoline tax.

Since these tax increases went into effect, I have not heard a single word about any of that money being spent on any bridge or road repairs. (Lord knows the northern end of the Garden State Parkway could definitely use some pot hole repair) Given the number of vehicles on our congested roads, every single day of the week, I can only imagine the amount of monies taken in by our State, yet our roads and bridges continue to fall into disrepair.

It’s great when you can point your finger and blame someone else for your issues, but how can you expect that someone to come in a clean your house if you don’t fi rst try to clean it yourself. If Congressman Kim is right in his description of the condition of the nearly 200 bridges in his district, why are we spending so much time, energy and money on such issues as the legalization of marijuana? One would think that the safety and well-being of the citizens of New Jersey would be a little more important than the cannabis issue.

Hector Mejias Little Egg Harbor Editor’s note: The gasoline tax is currently 41.4 cents per gallon.

Winning Team Designed App To Help Patients With Alzheimer’s From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) praised the win ners of the New Jersey Fou r th Congressional District’s 2018 Congressional App Challenge for their hard

work, ingenuity, and desire to help others through their software app “BrainHack.”

“Liam, Erica and Anthony earned this award for their teamwork and

Issue:

Continued From Page 1 requiring firearm applicants to submit their fingerprints for a handgun permit if it has been more than two years since they last provided them.

The organization asserts that Kunz is “brazenly not following New Jersey state law, administration code and guidelines and undermining the Second Amendment freedoms of the people he exists to serve and protect. We are going to hold him accountable.”

On May 21, NJ2AS filed a formal complaint to Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer and the New Jersey Attorney General’s office, requesting that they investigate the Township Police Department for violating state law and take action.

New Jersey law notes the process for obtaining a fi rearms identification card and handgun per mit which includes consent to a mental health background check, two references and submitting fi ngerprints once.

NJ2AS maintains that the law includes clauses specifying that applicants “need not

excellence, and their effort to serve other people,” Smith said. “Their app ‘BrainHack’ is desig ned to help persons struggling with memory loss and dementias such as Alzheimer’s, guiding them through fun mental exercises to strengthen creativity and memory-related functions.”

“Their impressive app not only showcases their technical expertise, but it performs a valuable ser-

be fingerprinted again” and “no additional requirements” shall be imposed.

Roubian spoke to one resident in the audience prior to the meeting’s start, who had expressed his view about an unfair delay in being able to obtain his firearms permit.

“I was told by Mr. Nixon that the requirement for the fingerprinting was no longer being enforced,” Roubian said. He told Nixon and the members of council that the organization had secured documentation showing that such a requirement did exist on the department’s books.

“It doesn’t ignore the fact that it was being required,” Roubian said, adding that this process has in the past caused unnecessary delays when it was enforced. “We have members who are police officers and are police chiefs who get their permits in three to 12 days.”

Roubian said “the fact it is taking the Jackson Township Police three to six months to process applications is concerning. It is disrespectful to the constitution as this is a constitutional right.”

Nixon reminded Roubian that Jackson Mayor Michael Reina is a gun owner and a strong advocate for the second amendment.

vice for others who need assistance,” Smith said.

The creators of “BrainHack” all at tend Communications High School in Wall: Liam Marshall of Sea Girt; Erica Sammarco of Colts Neck; and Anthony Sasso of Colts Neck. They were honored with other students from around the country at the ‘House of Code’ reception on Capitol Hill where they presented their app.

The Congressional App

Challenge is a nationwide competition, created in 2014, for high school students to work with their peers to develop computer coding and software application skills. The challenge was created to foster ST EM sk ills (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) among young students as preparation for a possible career in fields like cybersecurity, intellectual property, and the software app economy.

“With the issue you raised I asked the chief today if that was the requirement and he said no it was not. They are not enforcing a two-year requirement. That is the reality moving forward.”

Roubian maintained that police documentation had called for a gun owner to be fingerprinted again after two years which the applicant would have to pay for. “There have been many Attorney General directives stating that no additional requirements are allowed. The process has to be consistent in every municipality in New Jersey.”

“What I would like to see the council get involved and to see that these time frames be reduced from three to six months. There is no excuse for the delays,” he said.

Council Vice President Barry Calogero said he would set up a meeting with Kunz and the department to go over current and

Smith) of Jackson, the Director of Administration/ Director of Information Technology for a large law office.

past procedures regarding this issue within the next two weeks and that within three weeks he would have an update on the matter for Roubian and the public.

“Generally speaking, there are people up here (on the dais) that agree with you that there should not be any additional burdens placed on second amendment rights here in Jackson and anywhere else so assuming all paperwork is in the process should be working quickly,” Nixon said.

“Within the next two to three weeks we should have a response for you,” Calogero said.

The Jackson Times reached out to Chief Kunz and the Township Police Department for a statement about the complaints by the NJ2AS and to clarify the past and current policy but did not receive a response at press time.

Parade:

Continued From Page 4 man Ken Bressi, a U.S. Marine veteran, would serve as the speaker of the day at the service following the parade.

“It is an honor and a privilege to have been asked once again to speak for this occasion. I really want the message to reach young people and if I can get even two to four to remember it, well, it’s a good day,” Bressi said prior to the start of the service.

During the service, Bressi shared his message which was, “Take a moment out and think about all your freedoms.”

“Try to pull out the fact of what this d ay is all about wh ich is honor i ng those who gave the supreme sacrifice.

Think of the gold star families who today will place a f lag and f lowers on the graves of their loved ones. I want to get the poi nt across of the h ig h cost of our freedom. No one is saying go home and mourn for the year, just think about the freedoms you have and remember someone gave their life for them,” he said.

Basso, also a US Marine veteran, thanked those who attended and those responsible for making the two events a success. He thanked Jackson VFW members Allan Eliason, Chris Montana and Brad Whiting for their participation in the service along with Devin LaCross a Police Explorer and Jackson Memorial High School student who played taps at the close of the ceremony.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

5 Mind-blowing Reasons You Should Take Selenium

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. The Greek word “selene” means moon, and that’s where the trace mineral selenium gets its name. The most interesting part of selenium is that it’s sometimes used in dyes and paints to color things red.

Plants growing on Earth take up selenium into their roots. They get it from the soil and then it’s put into the food chain, and we obtain it through diet. Selenomethionine is a high-quality form of selenium that is also the main form of selenium occurring in Brazil nuts, cereal grains and soybeans.

Why would anyone want more selenium?

The main reason would be selenium’s powerful antioxidant properties. It helps neutralize free radicals by making two special detoxification enzymes: Catalase and Glutathione. Both of those enzymes are major players in terms of detoxification.

You’d die within minutes without them.

But there are 5 other mind-blowing reasons you should consider selenium: Selenium helps with breast cancer. Aside from selenium being a strong antioxidant which is useful in cancer situation, there is new research published in the journal, Nutrients (May 2019). Apparently, selenium is capable of alleviating lymphedema, commonly associated with breast cancer.

Lymphedema simply refers to the swelling that occurs in the arms and legs. Seventy-five percent of participants showed lymphedema improvement in just two weeks.

Selenium helps with the brain. The ability to neutralize oxidants which attack the brain helps reduce your personal risk of cognitive decline. Several selenium-derived proteins termed “selenoproteins” are expressed in

brain. We also know that both detoxification enzymes, glutathione and catalase, are present in glial cells. Glial cells feed and protect nerve cells. Selenium is needed to keep those glial cells healthy.

Selenium helps control hemochromatosis.

A genetic condition, overload of iron (hemochromatosis) is sometimes misdiagnosed and inadequately treated. Iron concentrations were slightly higher (up to 2 and a half times higher) in selenium deficient rodents.

The “Transferrin Saturation” with iron was almost twice as high in selenium deficient rodents, compared to those with normal levels of selenium.

Selenium helps make thyroid hormone.

Selenium has been shown in several clinical trials over the past few decades to slow the progression of, and reduce symptoms of thyroid illness. It’s needed for the enzymes that convert inactive thyroxine T4 to biologically active T3 and it’s needed to reduce TPO antibodies. Also, selenium might help with Graves’ eye problems, termed orbitopathy.

Selenium for PCOS. Selenium has insulin-like properties which means it can help with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS. A new article published in the journal, Molecules (April 2019) suggests it may help with insulin resistance. There’s a definite correlation between low selenium leading to hypothyroidism, then leading to PCOS. Labs don’t usually pick this disorder up. Please grab a copy of my best-seller, Thyroid Healthy to learn more about thyroid conditions. And if you’d like more information on selenium, PCOS or dosing information, just sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll send you the longer version of this article next week.

Sound Void?

A sound void is most commonly defined as a moment lacking clarity in hearing or understanding; an empty space in one’s life caused by the absence of sound clarity. Sound voids usually occur in specific listening situations where an individual’s hearing loss does not permit them to detect or understand important sounds and speech cues. Individuals often find that sound voids result in tiring, frustrating and embarrassing situations.

However you experience them – whether they happen during precious moments with your loved ones, critical conversations in the work place or in common everyday interactions – sound voids can detract from your ability to live your life to its fullest.

Do you often hear people talking but simply have difficulty understanding them?

Do you sometimes struggle to hear clearly in background noise?

Do you occasionally have trouble following the conversation in small groups?

Do you find it challenging to explain your hearing situation to others?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may be experiencing the perception of “sound void”. The term sound void was created to help explain the gaps that some say that they experience in their day-to-day listening lives. If this sounds like you or someone you love, you should consider contacting your hearing health care professional today.

Inside The Law Consumer Rights And Data Breach: Protecting Yourself From Identify Theft

Robert C. Shea Esq.

FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM! LOOK FOR A VARIETY OF PHOTOS SNAPPED ALL AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE!

Search: @JSHOREONLINE

By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

The recent data breach by Equifax meant that sensitive personal information for 145 million Americans was potentially exposed, including Social Security numbers, birthdates, addresses and, in some instances, driver’s license numbers. This incident has left many consumers wondering how they can protect themselves from identify theft.

Monitor your Account Check your financial account transactions regularly. Opt-in for alerts that screen for questionable transactions and opt-in for multifactor authentication. Look for charges that you don’t recognize, even if they were for small amounts. Sometimes scoundrels test the waters with small charges. Be aware of communications claiming to be from credit reporting agency or financial institution.

Review Credit Reports By law, all consumers are entitled to a free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion).

You can request a free credit report from annualcreditreport.com, by phone or mail.

Any site other than annualcreditreport. com is not part of the legally mandated free annual credit report program. Make sure you spell the annualcreditreport.com

domain name correctly Michael J. Deem and avoid look-alike scam sites.

Place a Freeze A credit freeze prevents new creditors from accessing your credit file and others from opening accounts in your name. A freeze could stop identity thieves because most (but not all) businesses will not open credit accounts without checking your credit report. A credit freeze does not prevent identity thieves from taking-over your existing account.

Set a fraud alert!

A fraud alert requires creditors who check your credit report to take steps to verify your identity before opening a new account, issuing additional card or increasing your credit limit on an existing account. A fraud alert is free. You can place an initial alert on your account for 90 days if you have not been a victim of identity theft.

The litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C. Shea & Associates handle most consumer fraud claims on a contingency basis. A contingency means if there is no recovery, there is no fee. Call us for a free consultation: 732-505-1212.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE “Let’s Talk” With Dr. Jani

By Michael Vandenberg “ T h e e r a of p ate r n a l i s tic medicine where I’m the doctor, you’re the patient, and you’re going to do this bec ause I say so is long gone,” Dr. Samir Jani said to me recently. “That’s just not the way I was trained.”

When it comes to your health, shouldn’t you be in the driver’s seat? That’s certainly the guiding philosophy passed down by Garden State Medic al Center ’s founder, Dr. Dharam Mann, and it’s what makes Dr. Jani the perfect f it here. He wants to use his expertise and impart his knowledge to help you make an informed decision about your pain management.

And there’s no question that Dr. Jani has plenty of information to share because he checks all the boxes when it comes to education. At age 17 he was already accepted into a higher education program that included a guaranteed spot in medical school. He kept a high GPA while taking his courses at an accelerated rate that allowed him to finish a year early. Then he jumped right into residencies and a fellowship focusing on pain, anesthesiology, and internal medicine, culminating in his current specialty of Interventional Pain Management. He finished his fellowship and began practicing in 2016, making his way to GSMC the following year.

Dr. Jani pointed to a variety of reasons as to why he decided to make the switch to GSMC. For one thing, it fosters a seamless team environment. “The support and infrastructure of the practice is huge,” like the large network of staff on hand, to the electronic rec ord keeping. With those tasks already being taken care of, Dr. Jani is able to put his entire focus on alleviating your pain.

After all, it’s crucial to maintain a sense of urgency when it comes to pain management because people are running out of options by the time they come to him. Most

of Dr. Jani’s patients are those who have seen countless doctors and had lots of tests but have never been able to find a diagnosis and fi x the underlying cause. “ My ankle hur ts,” Dr. Jani said as a general example. “I’ve seen ten podiatrists, I’ve had six ankle surgeries, and no one’s fi xed it.” But even though it may never be fi xed, “there are things we can do to at least help you get rid of the pain”.

Thankfully, Dr. Jani is not the type of doctor who just throws pills at the problem; he has a ver y strict interpretation of the related safety regulations. Not that he doesn’t use medications at all, but it’s only a tiny part of what he can do. “We’re highly inter ventional,” said Dr. Jani. He can target the pain with various injections, or hide the pain using electricity to target different stimulators in the nervous system. By implanting pain pumps, the medication is delivered directly to your spine, creating a much stronger effect.

It all depends on the severity and longevity of the pain.

These steps may seem elaborate, but rest assured Dr. Jani is conservative in his relief suggestions. “I always tell patients that if I don’t have to do something, I don’t want to do it. So if I can make it go away with a two minute injec tion, that ’s what I ’m going to do,” he said. If that

py if that’s what the patient longer has to take any pills. rarely even has to come in for prefer s.

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – The carbon monoxide detector isn’t blaring from a malfunction.

Ocean County Health Department officials are urging residents to take those alarms seriously. It could save a life.

Learn To Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

When a CO alarm sounds off, leave the home immediately and call for help.

“It’s called the silent killer because carbon monoxide is a gas that gives no warning - you can’t see it, taste it or smell it. Never gamble with your family’s health

and safety by assuming it just may be the batteries or some other unknown reason that triggered the device,” Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health said.

Heating and cooking appliances, tools,

vehicles, and other household devices can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, leading to more than 400 deaths each year in the United States.

Residents should have CO detectors on every level in their homes and near every sleeping area. Batteries should be replaced twice a year for daylights savings. Suspected malfunctioning batteries should be replaced immediately.

“During cold and inf luenza season, symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can easily be confused with symptoms of viral illness like the common cold or flu.

If symptoms come on shortly after turning on a device in a certain room and go away after leaving the area or more than one person gets sick at the same time, then these are clues to help identify CO poisoning,” Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator, said.

Prevention is also key.

• Keep all heating and dryer vents clear of snow, leaves and other debris.

• Keep open flues when using a fi replace. Have chimneys inspected for blockage.

• Don’t use the stove to heat the home/ apartment.

• Generators are for outdoor use only.

Keep them at least 20 feet from buildings, doors and windows.

• Keep generators, pressure washers, grills, camp stoves, or other gasoline, propane, natural gas or charcoal-burning devices out of the house (including a basement, garage, carport, camper, boat cabin, or tent) and away from open windows and doors.

• Do not idle vehicles in a closed garage.

“If someone is unresponsive or unconscious and you suspect them being exposed to CO poisoning, get them out of the house and call 9-1-1 without delay.

Trying to open windows is only a waste of time and will only cause you to breathe in more of the dangerous fumes. However, it’s ok to leave the door open after you exit so fresh air can seep in,” Regenye said.

For more information on CO poisoning, visit the poison center at njpies.org.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 1 - june 7

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Find where you belong and connect with your tribe. You can make friends in the week ahead who will support your business ambitions or share your various interests.

Networking can help you achieve your goals.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be challenged by destabilizing influences in the week ahead. Every change of plan or unexpected event requires you to put on your thinking cap, but with the right attitude you can take it all in stride.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your own priorities may be at odds with what your romantic partner wants and needs. In the week ahead you may need to perform a balancing act to avoid the appearance of a lack of consideration that could undermine your relationship.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The wrong words can be impossible to un-say. When someone suffers from foot in-the-mouth disease the awkwardness can disrupt communications for some time. Make an effort to be honest but diplomatic in the upcoming week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Give an inch to gain a mile. You may experience challenges when engaged in one-on-one negotiations in the week ahead if you are unbending. At the workplace don’t take someone’s deceptions personally; it reflects on them, not you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dig in your heels and use your ambitions to make your way forward.

This could be a good week to begin a new diet or start newer and better habits because you can harness your willpower and exercise powerful self-discipline.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may find yourself caught between a rock and a hard place at some point in the week ahead. Your generosity and fairness can counteract pressure and any attempts at coercion. You may feel resistant to new techniques or ideas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be as steady as a rock and you will rock it. People know they can rely upon you to be responsible, thoughtful and ethical.

You can be counted upon to offer a level-headed approach when others experience a crisis.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Pollyanna looked for something good in everything and because she looked, she found it, so can you. Even if there are good reasons, think carefully before parting with your hard-earned cash in the week ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Leave a legacy. You can build something substantial with your hard work and dedication. In the week to come you might be more concerned with realizing your ambitions rather than making others feel loved.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make an assessment of your budget before you make purchases, so you don’t waste your resources in the week ahead. Gather advice from an expert who can guide you on subjects such as living more sustainably.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Count your blessings daily, and before you count out dollars to spend. You may have some costly desires in the week ahead, but it’s really all about attitude. Ben Franklin said, “Contentment makes poor men rich; discontent makes rich men poor.”

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Make A Big, Fresh Impression As You Kick Off Summer Grilling Season

By Wolfgang Puck MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE GRILLED WHOLE RED SNAPPER WITH FENNEL AND PERNOD BUTTER SAUCE Serves 4 to 6 For the fish: 1 whole fresh red snapper or other firm-fleshed mild white fish such as branzino or sea bass, about 3 pounds (1.5 kg), gills, guts and scales removed Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 fennel bulbs, trimmed, fronds reserved, bulbs cut into slices 1/4-inch (6-mm) thick 6 sprigs fresh thyme 2 sprigs fresh oregano 1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil For the Pernod butter sauce: 1/4 cup (60 mL) water 1 lemon, juiced 1 tablespoon Pernod 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces Tender inner fronds from 1 fennel bulb (see above), finely chopped Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Build a hot fire in an outdoor charcoal grill, or preheat a gas grill on high.

Meanwhile, rinse the snapper inside and out with cold running water. Pat thoroughly dry inside and out with paper towels.

With kitchen shears, cut off any large fins. Season the cavity

with salt and pepper.

Stuff the fronds from 1 fennel bulb into the cavity. Add the thyme and oregano, and press the cavity closed. With a sharp knife, cut three equally spaced diagonal slashes through the skin and down to the bone in the flesh on each side of the fish.

Insert one lemon slice into each slit. Brush the fish all over with olive oil and season the outside with salt and pepper.

With a grill brush, scrub the grill’s cooking grid. Quickly and carefully brush the surface of the hot grid with olive oil. Place the stuffed fish diagonally across the preheated grid and cook for about 10 minutes; then, carefully slide two sturdy grill spatulas under the fish and rotate it 90 degrees, sliding out the spatulas and leaving the fish to cook on the same side until the flesh is firm but still moist, about 5 minutes longer.

Carefully use the spatulas to turn the fish over and cook on the other side for at least 10 minutes, until the flesh looks opaque and lifts easily from the bone but is still moist.

As soon as the fish starts cooking, place the fennel slices on a large platter, drizzle with olive oil, and turn to coat evenly.

When you turn the fish over, arrange the slices on the grill and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and keep warm.

For the sauce, place a small saucepan on the grill or on a stove burner over medium heat. Add the water, and bring to a simmer. Add the lemon juice and Pernod, and cook until reduced by about a third. Remove the pan from the heat, and whisk in the butter a few pieces at a time until fully incorporated; then, whisk in the chopped fennel fronds. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

With the metal spatulas, carefully remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a large serving platter. To serve, starting at the slits cut in the flesh before cooking, use a spatula to lift portions of the fillet from the bone, transferring to individual serving plates. Arrange grilled fennel slices around the fish and spoon some sauce over each portion.
