By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – The Army celebrated its 244th birthday on June 14 and township resident Major General Mark W. Palzer noted that anniversary in his new role as Commanding General

of the 99th Readiness Division.

Palzer’s command provides base operations support to all Army Reserve Soldiers, units, facilities and equipment for the entire Northeast Region of the Army Re-

serve. The general works out of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

Base operations include personnel administration, finance, facilities management, logistics management, maintenance, public affairs and

legal support.

Originally from Huntington Station, New York, Major General Palzer and his wife Donna moved to Jackson with their three children Stephanie, Daniel, and (Army - See Page 4)

Jackson Launches “Operation Blue Angel”

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – Township residents ages 60 and older may qualify to be part of the police department’s new Operation Blue Angel program.

The program allows police and other emergency personnel to quickly access the homes of residents who are unable to answer their door without the need to damage property to force entry.

Participating residents will receive a lock-

box - much like the ones used by real estate agents - that will hold a house key. The lockbox code will be accessible only to Jackson Township Police telecommunications officers, who will provide the code to emergency personnel dispatched to homes.

Not even residents will have access to the lockbox code.

Residents who move or decide to drop out of the program may return the lockbox to

Students Surprise Teacher With “Hamilton” Tickets

By Jennifer Peacock NEW EGYPT – So it appears no one has actually run the numbers, but the Google search “Are you more likely to win the lottery or win ‘Hamilton’ tickets” has 16.8 million hits. Even that stat is illegitimate, and the first few hits discuss how to win the “Hamilton” lottery.

New Egypt High School history teacher Thomas Corby has entered the “Hamilton” ticket lottery every day for 4 years.

And he’s lost, every day, for 4 years.

Ticket prices fluctuate daily, depending on availability and demand, according to Ticketmaster. Just before 3 p.m. June 14, tickets to the Broadway show at Richard Rodgers Theatre were selling for $271+ each in the rear mezzanine and $660+ for orchestra seats in row M, outside Austin Scott’s spittle zone.

“I would get an alert on my phone during class saying, ‘Sorry you didn’t win, it’s only a matter of time,’ and it just became an inside joke amongst the kids in myself; multiple sets of kids in multiple years too,” Corby told The Jackson Times via email June 13.

Corby is just finishing up his 19th year in New Egypt. He teaches AP US History, AP Government, USII Honors, United States Military History, America’s Pastime.

His interest in seeing “Hamilton” is rooted more in his appreciation for Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote and starred in the musical, than the founding father.

Corby has wanted to see the musical “since I saw the video of Lin-Manuel playing for Obama. It gripped me how different it was, the same way I try to reach kids in the classroom was the way he was doing it on stage. I showed my students the clip and watched for their reactions and it got them too.

I knew that this was special.”

He continued: “I was focused mostly on the show more than the person until you [The Jackson Times] asked that, but ‘Hamilton’ is a very interesting figure in history and I think Lin-Manuel saw that.

He is someone that never held an office that casual observers would know, but his influence over Washington in the army and the creation of the government was greater than most people would imagine. Especially with the Bank...sorry, started

“It took me from 1998 to December 2018 to be able to be within driving distance from my home to commute to an Army Reserve/ soldier workplace,” he said. “Prior to that I was assigned to other places some that were in driving distance and others where I was stationed all over country and the world such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Orlando…but I still lived in Jackson and commuted on a frequent basis while holding down a civilian job which I have retired from.”

Palzer described Jackson as “a great place.

I love New Jersey, especially central Jersey.

Back in 2002, I was looking at a swath of property where I could live between Philly and Newark airports so that I could flip my airport on a civilian job or mission if I needed to. One year there was a black out in Newark and I was able to switch and head off to Philly airport.

“The beaches are great, we talk smack about them all the time but they really are fantastic,” Palzer said.

“The Army is our big parent while the Army Reserve had its 111th birthday,” Palzer said noting that historically, “it was made up originally by doctors and nurses but it has expanded over the years, to not only be called in for immediate response situations but as a backup element.

“The reserve has, since its inception in 1908, been a big part of support in World War I when they were called the National Army and again in World War II where a large number

of forces came from the Army Reserve and again, in Korea,” Palzer said.

“Vietnam had a little bit less but 300,000 answered our nation’s call since 9/11 and have been sent to the Middle East and other locations. We have reservists as a whole in 20 time zones. We got them everywhere, it is amazing,” Palzer said.

“In the last 18 years we’ve become less a strategic capacity to an operational one,” Palzer said. He added that reservists normally leave every three to five years for a deployment.

“Deployments can be anywhere from Kuwait to many other places. The Army Reserve has morphed over years to include those serving as military police, engineers and huge portions of major aspects of the Army have changed. We are definitely fully immersed and the Army Reserve is a huge part of that,” Palzer said.

Palzer noted that rather than decreasing, the desire to serve in the reserve has increased.

He added that reservists “have a sense of there being something bigger than themselves.

These soldiers are battle tested. They come home from a deployment and return with a greater sense of meaning and purpose and they excel at their civilian work.”

Reservists are also coming into the Army Reserve with a wider skill set including “cyber technology, IT, and communications. They learn more than they would in the civilian sector alone. They learn a step beyond from where they were,” Palzer said.

“It is not only learning but experiencing. At a young age I was thrust into a senior leadership position and the experience learned from that heavy sense of responsibility was huge. I see

that every day,” Palzer said.

“Our reservists are training a minimum of one weekend a month, 14 days in the summer, for a total of 39 days. We try not to cut into the work week. When going into a deployment we will provide additional time one to three months, usually specific individual training.

Some unique to their type of job. Some units required at all time throughout the country,” Palzer said.

Palzer said that the surrounding communities of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst are vital in supporting the soldiers of the Army Reserve and the 99th Readiness Division.

“We could not do what we do without the support of local officials, families, veterans organizations. Family in particular supports us so we can do our job. Employers taking that chance is really great and what we truly appreciate,” Palzer said.

Palzer said, “Jackson is one of the best communities in the country. I’ve been to others and have seen great things. But I appreciate what we see in Jackson and the respect they have. The community supports those in the military and the way they do it is phenomenal.”

While Palzer was unable to be a part of the Army’s celebration on the base he was happy to be part of another festive occasion to celebrate Flag Day and the Army birthday at a historic location that day.

The general was part of a naturalization/Flag Day ceremony called the Stripes and Stars festival at Independence Hall in Philadelphia promoting reserve service and the military.

Prior to his assignment as the Commanding General of the 79th Theater Sustainment

Command, he served in Washington, D.C. as the Deputy Director for Logistics Operations, J4, Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Palzer commanded several units during his career including the 143rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command, Orlando, Florida; the 642d Regional Support Group in Decatur, Georgia; the 9th Logistics Detachment in Baghdad, Iraq; the 165th Quartermaster Group at Fort Belvoir, Virginia; the 213th Quartermaster Battalion in Wausau, Wisconsin; and the Headquarters and Supply Company, 10th Supply of the Transport Battalion, 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, New York.

Palzer’s significant awards and decorations include the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal with 3 Oak Leaf Clusters, the Army Commendation Medal, and the Army Achievement Medal.

He entered the Army in 1982. He was a Distinguished Military Graduate commissioned as a Second Lieutenant upon graduation from the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York.

After nine years of Active Component service, Major General Palzer transferred to the Army Reserve in 1991. He holds a Masters of Strategic Studies from the Army War College and a Masters of Business Administration from Pacific Lutheran University, in Tacoma, Washington.

His military education includes the Quartermaster Officer Basic and Advanced Courses, the Combined Armed Services and Staff School, Command and General Staff College, and the Army War College.

So it was another day, another lost lottery, when Corby’s AP students presented him with an envelope. A student caught Corby’s reaction on video, which made its way onto Today.com.

“If you watch the full video you will see I didn’t understand what was going on at first. They wrote a beautiful card and put two drawn up tickets to ‘Hamilton’ inside,” Corby said. “I just thought it was a thank you and a gag with the tickets. It wasn’t until I saw Meg in the back holding the sign did I begin to realize what was going on.”

The creator himself, Miranda, saw the clip and tweeted June 11: “Making your teacher cry happy tears is SO many bonus points for The Good Place. Great job Hanna, great job kids. Enjoy, Mr. Corby.”

Corby will be heading up to New York to see the show late July. Someone from the show contacted him June 13 and said he would be getting backstage access as well.

“I told [my students] it says so much about the people they are. Their want to do this, their ability to coordinate this and finally to do something so personal for me...I was floored, honored, humbled by it,” Corby said.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F eatured L etter Plastic Bag Ban Doesn’t Solve Problem With all the talk of banning paper and plastic bags in New Jersey, there’s plenty of confusion.

There are varying municipal laws, plenty of debate and now consideration in the state Legislature that could serve as a uniform solution to phase out both single-use disposable plastic and paper bags, while encouraging the mass use of reusable bags in New Jersey.

Last year, Gov. Phil Murphy vetoed a statewide bag fee program because he believed it did not go far enough to impose a universal ban. But the campaign continues.

Leaders in the food industry remain vocal advocates for promoting sustainability and environmental leadership; these are among the reasons why I serve as vice chair of the Board of the New Jersey Clean Communities Council, a successful, reputable, statewide litter abatement initiative.

Over the past two years, we have watched various municipalities throughout New Jersey enact disposable bag bans and fees with different requirements, definitions, and effective dates. This has created an onerous and unworkable thicket of local ordinances for retailers who have established businesses throughout the state.

Many of these ordinances have been focused on disposable plastic bags, but disposable paper bags also have a drastic environmental impact, as well as a higher cost than plastic bags.

Paper bags also require 10 times the amount of trucks to deliver the same quantity of bags, resulting in increased truck traffic on our streets, diesel emissions in our air and a negative impact for all involved.

That is why our food retail members working in municipalities that have banned disposable plastic bags without addressing disposable paper bags are faced with much higher costs. Not only is the paper option more expensive, there is no incentive for shoppers to bring reusable bags.

Additionally, the increased use of paper bags will ultimately drive up the volume in munic-

ipal recycling programs, with increased paper in the solid waste stream, both of which are facing increased costs, as well.

This means municipalities have to pay more for recycling and waste removal services, an easily-avoidable expense that is being passed on to property taxpayers. Clearly, focusing solely on banning disposable plastic bags is more expensive for retailers, consumers, and municipalities.

No one appears to be winning under the current scenario.

Meanwhile, our carbon footprint is growing.

The New Jersey Food Council, and like-minded partners, are supporting a statewide legislative initiative to phase out the use of both plastic and paper disposable bags throughout New Jersey and further encourage reusable bags as a beneficial alternative.

We salute State Sen. Bob Smith (D-Middlesex), chair of the Senate Environment and Energy Committee, for his ongoing fight to remove ALL single-use bags from the solid waste stream. His proposed legislation would include food safety protections and provide, finally, a uniform policy for governing the use of disposable bags throughout New Jersey.

No longer would there be different rules, based on different zip codes.

We hope business, government and sustainability organizations all work together to educate consumers about the importance of advancing this effort and to advocate for a statewide solution.

In the interim, it is our hope that well-intentioned municipal officials refrain from passing local ordinances on single-use plastic bags, as there is already a burdensome patchwork of different local laws that must be untangled if this state legislation is adopted.

Together, let’s embrace this sound environmental policy that can be equally applied across New Jersey, our very own progressive approach to the disposable bag issue and support for reusable bags.

Linda Doherty President New Jersey Food Council

Congressman Thanked For Opioid Meeting Recently I attended Andy Kim’s town hall panel discussion on the opioid crisis. I want to thank my Congressman for three things.

First, Congressman Kim gave families who have experienced tremendous loss a voice. They were heard loud and clear. Doing so helps to humanize this issue and break down stigmas.

Second, Congressman Kim’s vision to pull together resources throughout the community to address this issue is crucial. This widespread problem needs collaborative solutions.

Last but not least, for the first time in ages, I saw people from both sides of the aisle come together to have a heartfelt and respectful discussion about an invasive problem within our society.

Thank you Congressman Kim for your leadership to gather up citizens, agencies, organizations and government resources to fight this crisis.

One Of The 7 Deadly Sins What used to be “Gay Pride” events are now suddenly only “pride” events. The “gay” has been dropped, perhaps in an attempt to make the events (like the BlueClaws’ “Pride Night”) seem more relatable, more palatable to the average person. Whoever is behind

Letters The Editor this marketing strategyTo does the public with inaccurate of OxyContin (3). not realize, however, that in the Bible, pride is spoken of continually as being a much worse sin than being gay is.

Therefore, those who celebrate “Pride” in their parades have only made their situation worse, and the Rabbi in Lakewood who denounced the BlueClaws and the gays in such a proud, malicious manner is acting in a manner that will never get him my support, as much as I may agree with him that homosexuality is wrong in God’s eyes.

As for me, I will continue to say that God hates pride wherever it shows itself, so feel free to label me “Prideophobic” if you wish.

Media Bias The word bias refers to showing an unjustified favoritism toward something or someone. Thus, on a very simplistic level, media bias refers to the media exhibiting an unjustifiable favoritism as they cover the news. When the media transmit biased news reports, those reports present viewers with an inaccurate, unbalanced, and/ or unfair view of the world around them.

The definition of media bias is a lot like Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart’s definition of pornography “I know it when I see it.” Media bias is real; it reduces the quality of journalism, and it fosters distrust among readers.

slanted hit pieces and have become no more than the far left propaganda wing of the Democrat party.

Much of the public doesn’t realize just how strict the code of conduct that journalists have traditionally followed.

The Journalist’s Creed stands in bronze at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. for all to see, it states in part that “individual responsibility may not be escaped by pleading another’s instructions or another’s dividends.” I challenge any and all who call themselves journalists, at any and all professional levels to read the creed and then perform a sincere inventory of his or her journalistic practices. Conservatives are an alien species in many newsrooms. The resulting slanted (and occasionally hostile) coverage leaves conservatives rightly distrustful, this breeds the perception that the media is out to get them, and gives credence to the saying “fake news.”

Opinion or fact or somewhere in between the results of this bias include slanted news, withheld information, warped priorities, and discrediting news sources that cover stories they intentionally ignore. The question is: ‘Whatever happened to the free press? Whatever happened to honest reporting?”

Meet The Sacklers Since 1999 we’ve lost more than 700,000 Americans to fatal overdose from opioids (1). But how did we get here?

Ever heard of Richard, Jonathan, Kathe or Ilene Sackler? They are the family behind Perdue Pharmaceuticals. Still not ringing a bell? How about this: Purdue Pharma is the maker of the highly addictive opioid pain medication, OxyContin. The Sackler’s knew that this drug was dangerous but aggressively marketed it as safe and bribed doctors with lavish gifts to get them to prescribe more (2). Between 1996 and 2003 Purdue Pharma raked in $1.6 billion dollars annually off the aggressive sale

Recent lawsuits filed against Purdue Pharma uncovered another plan hatched by the Sackler family in 2014 to profit off of the overdose/opioid crisis - Project Tango. This plan made it explicitly clear that opioid painkillers and addiction are “naturally linked” and encouraged the Sackler family to expand their business to include addiction treatments in order to increase their profits (4).

But good news, New Jersey is on it. In May, Attorney General Grewal filed a lawsuit against 8 members of the Sackler family, claiming that they became “unimaginably rich” by deceptively marketing Oxycontin as rarely addictive, bribing doctors to prescribe the drug and contributing to the overdose crisis we face today (5).

Sign our petition to tell NJ’s AG Grewal that when we win settlement funding, we need to ensure that funding goes directly to expanding access to evidence-based treatment for people struggling with substance use disorder - especially people on Medicaid, Medicare and without insurance.

The petition can be found at: actionnetwork.org/petitions/ tell-attorney-general-grewal-use-sackler-to-expand-access-to-treatment/?link_ id=2&can_id=&source=email-meet-the-sacklers-2&email_referrer=email_564617___subject_732290&email_subject=purdue-pharma-pay-up Priscilla Robinson New Jersey Organizing Project

Freeholder Quinn: Working Together We Can Win The Battle Against The Summer’s Most Unwelcomed Guest - The Mosquito

OCEA N COU NT Y – Though never invited, they are an unwelcome guest at every backyard barbecue, baseball game, picnic, hike and trip to the beach.

You guessed it - the pesky and sometimes dangerous mosquito.

Fortunately, working together we can keep these flying parasites at bay.

As Freeholder Liaison to the Ocean County Mosquito Commission, I want to reassure our residents that the commission works year-round identifying mosquito habitats and breeding grounds, then does its best

to bring the insect’s population under control.

Using a variety of mosquito countermeasures - a method known as integrated pest management - the commission tackles mosquitos at the source.

Larvicide applications help control pre-adult mosquitos, while biological methods, such as introducing mosquito-eating fish in breeding pools, are a natural way to control the population.

Sometimes, a mosquito-rich habitat can be slightly altered to prevent a growing population of the flying pests.

The commission also uses more traditional methods, such as spray trucks to apply larvicides.

For larger areas, the commission operates two helicopters to treat areas aerially. Most of the aerial applications are limited to the county’s extensive salt marshes.

Salt marshes can also be managed through the use of amphibious equipment, which eliminates reproducing mosquitos without the use of pesticides. Once completed, the areas become more useful to other members of the tidal food

web, and remain in that state indefinitely.

Much of the Mosquito Commission’s work goes unnoticed by our residents.

But the commission is only one part of the battle against the bugs. The rest is up to us.

There are easy steps all of us can take to control the mosquito populations in our neighborhoods.

One of the easiest changes is the removal of any standing water from our yards.

Mosquitos breed in water that collects after a rainfall.

Birdbaths, old tires, buckets and other plastic containers are ideal mosquito nurseries.

According to our own Ocean County Health Department and its Freeholder Liaison Gerry P. Little, mosquitos can grow in a container as small as a bottle cap.

Unfortunately, mosquitos can be more than just an itchy nuisance. The insects

can carry several harmful viruses, including encephalitis and West Nile.

Cleaning up any standing water from our yards is our first line of defense against these diseases.

But even out best efforts will never be enough, so don’t forget to apply an EPA-approved insect repellent when venturing outside.

I hope everyone has a happy, safe and itch-free summer.

CentraState’s Medical Explorers Program Selected As NJ State Governor’s Jefferson Award Honoree FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP— CentraState Healthcare System is proud to announce that its community outreach student Medical Explorers Program has recently been selected as a 2019 New Jersey State Governor’s Jefferson Award Honoree in the Volunteer Program/ Group category.

Each year, the New Jersey State Governor’s Jefferson Awards highlight the spirit of civic engagement among New Jersey’s 1.8 million volunteers and provide medals in 22 categories of volunteer service.

CentraState’s Medical Explorers Program, offered in partnership with the Boys Scouts of America, is a co-ed program that gives high school students between ages 14 and 20 the opportunity to explore a variety of careers in the health care field through interactive learning with medical professionals, hands-on workshops and activities, and hospital tours. The Program has made a difference in 341 young lives since its inception in 2015. The Medical Explorers Program’s 58 staff and community partner volunteers were designated as a Jefferson Award Honoree for their work in the youth program, demonstrating unique vision and dedication, and serving as inspiration for others.

“We are delighted to be lauded for our work with the youth in our communities and helping them to learn about the various roles in health

care,” says Maryellen Dykeman, manager, Community Wellness, CentraState Healthcare System. “It’s rewarding to see them take such interest in a field where you help others and determine if a career in the medical field may be in their future.”

Jefferson Award Honorees, including CentraState’s Medical Explorers Program committee chairpersons Maryellen Dykeman, Nanette Spedden, and Barbara Yuhas, were recognized at a local ceremony on May 19 at the War Memorial/Patriot Theater in Trenton, NJ, and received a Jefferson Award lapel pin and certificate of recognition.

The New Jersey State Governor’s Jefferson Award is a joint program administered by the Community Foundation of New Jersey, The Star-Ledger Powering NJ.com, and The Governor’s Advisory Council on Volunteerism, with support from corporate underwriters.

The Jefferson Awards is a national volunteer recognition program established in 1972 by the American Institute for Public Service in cooperation with the US Senate and the White House. The Jefferson Awards are considered America’s highest honor for public service and volunteerism.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Addicted To Cell Phone Dear Joel, My husband is addicted to his cell phone. I find him so rude to his family.

When we are out with people he plays with it all the time. My yelling at him is meaningless.

Answer Cell phone addiction is a real addiction.

I am not a therapist and therefore unable to diagnose. I have heard stories of people making bets with their spouse. Another trick is to have him make a charitable contribution if he uses it nonstop.

However, if it truly is an addiction it is a symptom that something else may be wrong. In that case, it may take a professional to help him. Your screaming will accomplish nothing.

Around The Jersey Shore Jackson Eagle Scout Creates Sensory Garden At The Arc

By Kimberly Bosco TINTON FALLS – One local Eagle Scout candidate is making a big difference with help from The Arc of Monmouth County.

Ryan Holsey, 16, of Jackson made it his mission to build a raised sensory garden for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) at The Arc of Monmouth’s Tinton Falls headquarters. This community service project was his final step to earning the honor of Eagle Scout.

The sensory garden was an idea inspired

by Ryan’s late uncle Danny Kardane, a 45-year participant of the The Arc’s Recreation program. Kardane passed away in 2011 at the age of 49.

“I wanted to design a project that would honor both my uncle and The Arc of Monmouth,” said Holsey.

The sensory garden is raised three feet and stocked with deer-resistant fragrant perennials that will be tended by participants of agency’s Achievement Zone program for young adults with autism, Down syndrome and other forms of I/DD. Ryan put in a lot of work to complete the project, splitting it up into three phases.

The first phase began last summer with planning and fundraising opportunities.

Following this, the garden was constructed in May and planting began shortly

thereafter, with help from participants from The Arc’s Recreation program.

“My brother Danny would be so pleased knowing that Ryan is giving back to The Arc, an agency where he spent so many happy hours,” said Holsey’s mother, Wendy.

Unrelated to his raised garden project, Ryan also donated patio furniture for The Arc’s indoor courtyard.

Ryan’s scouting journey began in first grade when he became a Tiger Scout.

From there, he went on to earn the highest Cub Scout award, the Arrow of Light, in fifth grade. Ryan eventually crossed over, becoming a member of Boy Scout Troop 34 in Jackson, with the ultimate goal of earning an Eagle Scout award.

The Eagle Scout award is the highest honor a scout can achieve. It requires hard work and dedication in the form of leadership service projects that provide lasting benefits to the community. Scouts must also earn 21 merit badges, hold leadership positions in their troops, and raise the funds to finance their projects.

“This project taught me how to stay focused, keep on top of things, and make contacts in the community,” said Ryan.

“It means a lot that I was able to complete this project in memory of my Uncle Danny.”

Around The Jersey Shore Jackson Police Details Enforce Move Over Law

JACKSON – In an effort to bring further awareness to New Jersey’s “Move Over” Law, the Jackson Police Department Traffic Safety Unit recently conducted a number of concerted traffic enforcement details specifically targeting violations of this law.

New Jersey Law mandates that motorists approaching emergency vehicles that have their warning lights flashing (red, blue, amber, or any combinations thereof) move into another lane if safe to do so. If switching lanes is not practical or safe to do (as in the case of non-divided roadways), motorists must reduce their speed to below the posted speed limit. Emergency vehicles include Police Vehicles, Ambulances, Tow Trucks, Fire Apparatus, and Highway Maintenance Vehicles.

New Jersey’s MOVE OVER Law mimics several similar laws from across the country, and is designed to protect First Responders, Police Officers, and other Highway Workers from the dangers of passing traffic.

On May 17, Jackson Officers worked in conjunction with the Jackson Mills Fire Company in conducting a MOVE OVER operation along North County Line Road. This particular date was chosen in honor of fallen Manchester Township Police Officer Robert Tobias who was killed by a passing vehicle while he was conducting a traffic

stop along SR 70 on May 17, 1975. Patrolman Tobias was just 23 years old at the time of his death.

On June 6, Jackson Officers worked in conjunction with the Ocean County Road Department in conducting a MOVE OVER operation along North County Line Road. This particular date was chosen in honor of New Jersey State Trooper Marc Castellano who was killed by a passing motorist while assisting in the search for a suspect along I-195 in neighboring Howell Township on June 6, 2010. Trooper Castellano was only 29 years old at the time of his death.

As a result of those operations, as well as Roving Patrol details targeting MOVE OVER violations on these two dates alone, a total of 105 vehicles were stopped. While most drivers received warnings along with educational handouts explaining the law itself, a number of summonses were issued for more blatant violations.

The Jackson Police Department would like to thank our partners with the Jackson Mills Fire Company, Fire District 4, and the Ocean County Road Department for their assistance with these details and their commitment to public safety.

Along with DWI Patrols, speed enforcement details, and other coordinated traffic safety efforts, operations like these will continue as summer starts and throughout the year.

Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Buying A Hearing Aid Is So Confusing Is it really possible to simplify the purchase of a hearing aid? The answer is, probably maybe. In fact, there is so much advertising of product A through Z that I believe many potential hearing aid wearers are too confused to take the next step.

Which manufacturers make the best hearing aids? In my opinion, the major players include Phonak, Widex, Sonic Innovations, GN Resound, Starkey, Siemens and Oticon. These manufacturers are focusing their research on digital technology in an attempt to improve speech understanding in background noise. Digital hearing aids are recommended for the active individual who can afford the technology. Digital hearing aids work best as a pair, or binaural set, to provide hearing balance. The minimal cost of low level digitals is around

$2,000 and higher end digitals can cost up to $6,500 for a pair.

Make sure you have a trial period to evaluate the benefits of any hearing aid. Trial periods will range from 30 to 60 days. Professional service fees (i.e., non-refundable) should only apply if you return the hearing aid(s) for refund. The hearing health care professional needs to account for his/her time and in many cases, will spend four to five hours with a patient during the specified trial period. Dr. Izzy recommends that if you are not satisfied with the performance of the first hearing aid, try a different aid from another manufacturer with possibly different technology.

The worst thing you can do is to “walk out with the same hearing problem” that you walked in with.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting (expanded hours!), and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

Hormone Strategies For Fatigue And Menopause

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Many times, when a woman is fatigued and experiencing post-menopausal symptoms, practitioners are quick to recommend hormone replacement therapy, referred to as HRT. This can mitigate the symptoms of menopause, and particularly serves as a quick first-line defense against hot flashes, usually the most troubling of all menopausal symptoms. HRT seeks to bring your estrogen (and sometimes progesterone) levels back up, to a higher level, which is what you had when you were more youthful.

Estrogen is typically provided as a prescription called “estradiol.” You can receive prescription hormones via pills, patches, pellets, and creams. Estradiol is one of the 3 sisters of estrogen… remember, estrogen refers to a combination of estradiol, estriol and estrone.

Unfortunately, many physicians prescribe the one “sister” by herself, meaning they just give you “estradiol” and not the other two estrogens. They also do not always give you progesterone with the estrogen medication.

This is a mistake in my opinion. The estrogen prescribed all by itself, is termed “unopposed estrogen.” Despite progesterone’s far-reaching impacts on health, many doctors still wrongly assume its only job is to protect the uterus, and they don’t usually prescribe it with estrogen. But there are receptors everywhere in your body for progesterone, so you need it whether or not you still have a uterus.

Taking estrogen and/or progesterone doesn’t always help because you might also be deficient in pregnenolone or DHEA, two hormones that are higher up on the chain.

Certain HRT medications come with an in-

creased risk of breast and uterine cancer as well as the small, but potential, risk of heart attack, deep vein thrombosis, and stroke.

HRT medicines are potent drug muggers and capable of suppressing nearly every mineral in the body as well as your B vitamins. Take synthetic HRT long enough, and you’ll have even worse fatigue, depression, hypothyroidism, confusion, memory lapses, anxiety, insomnia and weight gain.

You can choose bio-identical hormone therapy if traditional HRT doesn’t improve your post-menopausal symptoms. Doing so provides your body with estrogen and progesterone in forms that are biologically identical to what was naturally produced in your youth. That means you experience more of the benefits, and fewer side effects.

These therapies are usually created in compounding pharmacies as topical creams, and the dose is customized for you. The dose is determined by the amount that you make, as well as your response.

It’s a trial and error thing, so when you start with bio-identical hormones, you should ask the pharmacy if you can purchase just a week or two at a time, so you can test it and be sure that adjustments to the levels of hormones can be made before you buy a 90-day supply. Oftentimes, the bio-identical hormones used in the cream include some or all of the following: DHEA, testosterone, estriol, estrone, estradiol and progesterone. Estriol is hardly ever mentioned but it’s a fun fact that the placenta produces this estrogen in large amounts during pregnancy. Find a physician in your city that specializes in reading labs and prescribing hormones, rather than just asking your General Practitioner for a onesize-fits-all pill.

Inside The Law Ripped Off? Now What?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

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

Have you been ripped off by a car dealer, a home improvement contractor or some other business?

Remember, there is no such thing as a “free lunch.”

Anytime someone tries to sell you something, you should take everything they say with a grain of salt.

This is particularly true when you purchase a car, buy a home, hire someone to remodel your house, pay for any other type of goods and/or services, and particularly where you are entering into some type of written agreement.

Unfortunately, we live in a society today where some businesses make claims or representations that turn out not to be true or omit to tell you an important item, for example, that an automobile has been in a severe prior accident or a home has a wet basement. Make no mistake, fraud is rampant in New Jersey. The Division of Consumer Affairs reports that the largest source of complaints concern car dealers and home improvement contractors.

However there are other dishonest businesses that rip off consumers for small amounts of money – which add up to a lot of profits for the business.

When the amount is small, you may think that your damages are too small to hire an attorney and may not be worth the time to do something about it.

THE NEW JERSEY CONSUMER FRAUD ACT Fortunately, New Jersey has a remedy – the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act- is the strongest consumer protection law in the nation. If you have been the victim of a misrepresentation, deception, fraud, false pretense or the omission of an important material fact, you may be entitled to three times your damages plus payment of your attorney’s fees by the defendant business if you have suffered the loss of money.

The Consumer Fraud Act covers almost every sale of merchandise and services. The purpose of the Act is to promote honesty and fair dealing in the marketplace. For example, any affirmative misrepresentation by a seller results in liability regardless of whether the representation was made in good faith or negligently. Businesses are presumed to have a superior knowledge of the goods and services that they sell as well as superior

knowledge of the laws and regulations that govern your business. Accordingly, they are strictly liable for committing consumer fraud.

The purpose of the Act is to Michael J. Deem encourage private attorneys to represent consumers in disputes that involve small damages otherwise consumers would not be able to obtain representation. The defendant is required to pay the successful consumer’s attorney’s fees and costs.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE When you deal with a home-improvement contractor or other seller, try to limit the amount that you make as a down payment. The more money that pay a contractor upfront, the greater the risk they will delay the job, not return to finish the work, or not make corrections. There have been many stories where a contractor took a deposit and never returned to start the job or only did a little work and never returned.

When purchasing a used car, you should always get a CARFAX and you should always take the vehicle to your trusted mechanic and have it tested. Make sure that any verbal representations that are made by the dealer are put in writing. Always read the agreement! Many times, the agreements contain paragraphs that limit the liability of the seller, require you to give up consumer protection rights, or say things that are completely opposite from that which the seller has verbally promised.

Although “Buyer Beware” is not the law in New Jersey, not reading or understanding the terms of the agreement you sign is no defense—the seller is not required to explain the agreement and you cannot rely on the verbal representations when entering into a written contract.

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.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

County Announces Construction Of New Grawton Road Bridge

By Kimberly Bosco JACKSON – Motorists take note, Ocean County is getting to work this summer to replace the aging Grawton Road Bridge in Jackson Township.

The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders plans to award a $1.6 million contract to Marbo, Inc. for construction on the new bridge.

The Grawton Road Bridge is a 30-foot wide, wood structure dating back to 1936, allowing for travel over the Dove Mill Branch of the Toms River.

According to county officials, the new bridge will be 12-feet long and 36-feet wide built on steel-pipe piles with concrete footings. The bridge will include two 12-foot travel lanes, two 6-foot shoulders, and a precast concrete culvert and concrete wing walls.

The project also includes the installation of state Department of Environmental Protection mandated terrestrial animal crossings on each side of the main culvert.

“This work is part of our continuing effort of improving our county road system, which is the largest in the state,” said Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines, co-liaison to the Ocean County Engineering Department.

“We are constantly monitoring our roads and bridges to ensure that we have the safest possible road network here in Ocean County,” said Freeholder Deputy Director John P. Kelly, who is also Director of Law and Public Safety.

Work is expected to take approximately six months, during which a detour will be set up around the bridge.

How Can You Protect Yourself From Osteoporosis?

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – Osteoporosis is a common disease, accounting for more than 2 million broken bones per year in the US. Want to prevent yourself from becoming one of the 200 million people suffering from osteoporosis? The Ocean County Health Department is here to help.

The OCHD recognizes May as National Osteoporosis Month, reminding residents that there

are ways to help slow or stop the loss of bone mass and help prevent fractures no matter what your age.

“Osteoporosis is often called a “silent disease” because unfortunately for many people they don’t know they have it until it’s too late. It usually takes breaking a bone before a person is diagnosed with the disease,” stated Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County

Board of Health.

Start thinking about your bone health and take action now!

The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) recommends these tips to improve bone health and prevent osteoporosis: • Get to know your risk factors: age, gender, lifestyle, medical history, family history and whether you take any medication or have medical

conditions that can lead to bone loss.

• Get active: Do regular weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercise • Eat Your Way to Healthy Bones: Calcium, vitamin D, lean protein, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats are the key to eating for healthy bones.

• Ask your healthcare provider when you should get a bone density test • Don’t smoke and don’t drink too much alcohol: No more than two drinks a day is best for bone health “Bones affected by osteoporosis have lower density or strength which leads to bones becoming more fragile and likely to break. Osteoporosis causes severe pain, suffering and life-altering loss of mobility - yet it is treatable and even preventable. Diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle are keys to preventing and managing osteoporosis,” stated Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator.

For more information on National Osteoporosis Month and how to build and maintain strong bones for life, visit ochd.org. Check out the OCHD’s new website at phu2.org.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 22 - june 28

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Avoid issues in the week ahead by being considerate of collective family needs. You may have some intense ambitions, but your loved ones need to come first now. Juggle your schedule so everyone is happy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do your duty. You can achieve more traction by following accepted procedures than by improvising and experimenting. You and a loved one can develop a higher degree of intimacy and shared passions as this week unfolds.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be diplomatic. It is possible to phrase your questions in a way that shows you care. The reactions you receive from others in the week ahead may point out areas where there is room for improvement.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are not one to sleep on the job. In the week ahead you may have added enthusiasm for your career or even routine tasks. Be cautious that your intense drive and energy doesn’t cause rub a loved one the wrong way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A Full Moon can bring something to a peak. In your case an important goal, a creative project or children’s needs could come into sharp focus. In the upcoming week you should find time to think about your future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t be afraid to share your inspirations and intuitions - loved ones will appreciate your creative ideas in the upcoming week. Learn from criticism; it can serve to clarify your thinking and enlarge your perspective.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your way of dealing with people could seem a little too automated as the week unfolds - the temptation could be to phone it in instead of interacting and responding in the moment. Choose people for friendship instead of benefits.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Cuddle up and chill out with loved one or a special fur baby.

You might even consider rescuing a four-legged buddy to share your life - or just hang out and share the love with people and pets you already know and care for.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There is a Full Moon in your sign, so you may be made more aware of ways that important relationships affect you. In the week ahead you may become more sensitive to nuance when speaking with loved ones.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A careful consideration of the facts and figures will alert you to potential pitfalls in any plan. If you become upset in the week to come, figure out what within you is being triggered when your buttons are pushed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Two opposite concepts can blend together rather than cancel one another out. Although you believe in the intangible you must rely upon facts to get through the upcoming week. You may be intuitive about finances.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may prefer to fly under the radar in the upcoming week.

Reassess and rethink your goals while you feel secure. An opportunity might come along that may be more, or less, important than it appears to be.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen

A Pasta Dish For All Seasons

By Wolfgang Puck PASTA WITH SPRING AND SUMMER VEGETABLES Serves 4 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup (250 mL) cherry tomatoes, stems removed Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 cups (500 mL) good-quality canned vegetable stock or broth 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped fresh Italian parsley 1/4 cup (60 mL) finely shredded fresh basil leaves 1 tablespoon bottled pureed roasted garlic Crushed red pepper flakes 1 cup (250 mL) 1-inch (250-ml) pieces fresh green beans 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced carrots 12 stalks asparagus, tough ends snapped off and discarded, stalks cut into 2-inch (12-mm) pieces 1 cup (250 mL) broccolini cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces 1 cup shelled fresh peas or canned frozen petit peas 12 ounces (375 g) dried pasta strands such as bucatini or spaghetti or bite-sized shapes such as bowties, torchio or penne 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly grated Parmesan, optional Bring both a large pot of unsalted water and a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a heavy medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot enough to shimmer slightly and flow freely when the skillet is

tilted, add the cherry tomatoes. Leave the tomatoes undisturbed until they start to blister, 1 to 2 minutes. Then, stir them gently, season lightly with salt and pepper, and leave about 30 seconds longer. Remove from the heat.

In a blender, combine 1 cup of the vegetable stock with the tomatoes, the parsley, 2 tablespoons of the basil, and the roasted garlic. Blend until pureed.

Transfer the mixture to a saucepan, and add the remaining vegetable stock, a small or large pinch of red pepper flakes to taste, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer briskly, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and the sauce thickens slightly, 5 to 7 minutes.

While the sauce reduces, in separate batches in the saucepan of salted boiling water, boil each of the vegetables for 1 minute in the saucepan. As each vegetable is done, remove it with a wire skimmer, rinse under cold running water until cool, drain well, and transfer to a bowl.

Add all the vegetables to the sauce, and stir well to heat them through. Keep warm.

As soon as the large pot of water comes to a boil, salt the water. Add the pasta, and cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time.

Drain the pasta and, while it’s still slightly dripping, stir it into the sauce until well coated. Remove the pan from the heat and, if you like, stir in the Parmesan.

To serve, divide the pasta and vegetables among four large warmed serving plates or pasta bowls. Garnish each serving with the remaining shredded basil and, if desired, some Parmesan. Serve immediately.
