Ordinance Could Double Commissioners’ Salary

Township To Ramp Up Skate Park Possibility

By Catherine Galioto BERKELEY – An or-dinance that would allow commissioners on the township water and sewer authorities to double their salaries was adopted, but one resident hopes efforts in opposi-t ion could reverse the compensation. Township coun-cil approved the or-dinance at its April meet-ing, which would allow the independent authorities of the Berkeley Township Municipal Utilities Author-ity and the township sewer authority to raise annual

–Photos by Catherine GaliotoThe old location of the skate park is now simply a flat enclosed space in Veterans Park after the deteriorating equipment was removed years ago. Local officials are discussing where it might be rebuilt.

By Catherine Galioto BERKELEY – With local youth wonder-ing if the township could have a skate park again, the mayor said it is more a question of when and where, but also how to pay for it. Mayor Carmen Amato said he’s heard the concerns that a skate park is a needed ad-dition to the town’s recreation, and said the former location was at Veteran’s Park, but was removed due to wear and tear making conditions unsafe. Located on behind chain link fence with a small opening for an entrance, the outline of the previous skate park equipment is visible, the holes from the structures filled in, in what is now simply a flat, enclosed space along the road leading to the gazebo at Veteran’s Park. Township officials said they first thought to repair the park but the manufacturer went out of business, meaning Berkeley has to start from scratch. Amato said this gives the town a chance to decide where the best location

By Catherine Galioto BAYVILLE – An in-person example of the benefits of eating right and moving more came to Clara B. Worth Elementary School recently. New York Jets linebackers Julian Howsare and Taiwan Jones visited the school to honor students as one of the “Division Champions” for the New Jersey Department of Agriculture’s Jets PLAY 60 “Eat Right, Move More” program. A $5,000 grant was awarded to the school. The program is a partnership between the Jets, the state Department of Agriculture and the American Dairy Association North East. The idea is to encourage stu-dents to take advantage of healthy foods in their school cafeterias and become more active. The excitement of the visit was the attempt to inspire that further, though the school became Division Champions based on their high level of participation in the program. Schools were required to have at least 100 students par-ticipate in the Jets PLAY 60 Program, with each logging a

$5,000 maximum. Laura Wheeler-Shaw of Bayville, speaking out in the public hearing for the

ordinance, said the ben-efits were unnec-

essary and that there was no

just i f ica-tion for the increase.

The commis-sioners of the

respective munic-ipal utilities authority

and sewerage authority hold a short, monthly meeting and for their time receive more than the volunteers who serve on the township’s planning board or school

boards, she said. “For this small group of people to receive this compensation is excessive, extreme and unearned,” Wheeler-Shaw said. “It is my understand-ing that no other board members in town receive th is t y pe of compensation, and in addition these board mem-bers are receiving medical benefits at signif-icant expense to the rate payers.” Township Attorney Lauren Staiger said technically it is not the council granting the commissioners a raise, but

rather setting the frame-work for how these agencies operate and can decide to pay its commissioners. “What happens is the

council is not voting to give these board

members $5,000 each, the New J e r s e y s t a t -u t e r e q u i r e s u s t o s e t up

BRICK – Temple Beth Or will commem-orate Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remem-brance Day, with a program at the temple, 200 Van Zile Road. The event will be held at 3 p.m. on May 1. Max Snijders, a holocaust survivor, will speak about his experiences and show a photo presentation with some amazing pictures that survived the war. He will also display some artifacts, including his parents’ identity cards with a “J” on them,

falsified ID cards and rationing coupons. Snijders, 87, was born in 1929 in Enkhui-zen, a small fisherman’s village in northern Holland. He was secretly bar mitzvahed in 1942 and went into hiding on his own in the countryside shortly afterwards at only 13 years old. He had six different hiding plac-es, and was betrayed in a few, causing him to be on the run for more than three years. He was reunited with his parents, who were hiding in Amsterdam, in the last few weeks

before liberation. His town’s Torah scrolls were buried and dug up after the war. Snijders, a former dentist, currently lives in Amsterdam. Yom Hashoah is observed as Israel’s day of commemoration for the approximately six million Jews and five million others who perished in the Holocaust as a result of the actions carried out by Nazi Germa-ny and its accessories, and for the Jewish resistance in that period. In Israel, it is a

national memorial day and public holiday. It was inaugurated on 1953, anchored by a law signed by the Prime Minister of Israel David Ben-Gurion and the President of Israel Yitzhak Ben-Zvi. It is held on the 27th day of Nisan (April/May), unless that day would be adjacent to Shabbat, in which case the date is shifted by a day. This year, Yom Hashoah begins on May 4. For more information about the program, call Temple Beth Or at 732-458-4700.

would be and what it could look like. Recreation Supervisor Tim Yurcisin said he remembers his sons using the skate park at Veteran’s Park growing up. “We got a lot of use out of it and it was great for all the kids in town that love skating,” he said. “However it did after years of use become quite damaged, a lot of it having to do with bikes on the course. The course was not built for BMX bikes and the course had a lot of breaking and cracking. And the skate park become dangerous, there were some jagged edges.” Yurcisin said the township could not get repair parts and instead of leaving up a potentially dangerous skate park, removed all the equipment. “We were looking at the time to get it repaired...however we found the company

that built the skate park had gone out of business. So we were no longer able to get parts or the specialty ramp pieces to repair it at a reasonable cost,” he said. “The only solution to have a skate park up and running is to basically start from scratch and build a whole new skate park. Obviously that’s a cost, quite a substantial expense, and we are still in the process of looking to rebuild a skate park.” Both Amato and Yurcisin said the process was held up by the pressing issues left in Superstorm Sandy’s wake that the township had to first deal with. “A lot has come up since then, god knows we all know about Sandy, so it was kind of on the back burner,” Yurcisin said. “May-be next year, maybe move it into another location.” The old skatepark lot is next to a younger children’s playground at Veteran’s Park, which may not be the best site, said the

recreation supervisor. “There were issues with a skate park being next to a playground. It didn’t work well with parents with little kids next door playing in the playground,” he said. The cost could be “substantial,” Yurcisin said, but grant money is a possibility as could fundraising through interested groups who would likely use the park. There are also considerations for insurance liability. “The insurance company at the time said the only way they would cover it is if every person using it wore a helmet, knee pad, elbow pads,” Yurcisin said. “That’s really unenforceable.” Yurcisin, addressing the public at the April council meeting, heard from one resident who said he’d like to see the skate park but wondered really how much it could cost to build a simple half-pipe there out of wood. “Actually, we’re looking at the possibility

of concrete,” Yurcisin said. “It’s more dura-ble. And with the potential for bikes using it, it would last longer.” The mayor said the township is committed to rebuilding a skate park. “We were all for doing it, then to find out we need to start from scratch, it kind of put us behind the eight-ball, and of course with Superstorm Sandy happening,” said Amato. “But the town also has a grant writer as well, and hopefully we can get something together quickly to fund it.” In addition, changes coming to Veteran’s Park include taking the dirt parking lot and striping it for spaces, possibly paving it, so as to better use it for parking. The lot serves as the main parking for the popular summer concert series held at the bandshell, and paving it as well as delineating more spots as handicap-accessible spots is part of the plan for parking improvements at Veteran’s Park.

Letters To The EditorFeatured Letter

It is hard to believe that 46 years have passed since the first Earth Day, April 22, 1970. That event marked the beginning of the modern environmental movement. It also was the launch of what has to be the most success-ful grass-roots movement in history. Never before, and never since, has one day so galvanized the public and moved governments at every level, to action. Earth Day also marks the 46th anniversary of the establishment of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Created by Governor Wil-liam T. Cahill, New Jersey was just the third state in the country to form a depart-ment whose sole mission was to protect, restore, and preserve the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land on which we live. In the nearly five decades since, under both Republi-can and Democratic leader-ship, New Jersey has made enormous progress in un-doing the environmental injuries of our state’s past and creating an environ-ment in which our state and our people can thrive. And we have done so while also preserving the prosperity of our state. There are some who think the success of New Jersey’s environmental protection efforts is best measured by how much money we have collected in fines, how many new regulations we have written, and how many em-ployees we have on DEP’s payroll. I do not agree. I believe the best way to measure our progress is by looking at the condition of our air, our water, our land, and our wildlife. These are the best measures of our progress - and across the board, they prove that New Jersey’s en-vironment is in much better shape than it was 46 years ago, and that the health of our environment continues to improve from one Earth Day anniversary to the next.

Constitutional conserva-tives who support Ted Cruz for the U.S. Presidency may be making a big mistake that will blow up in their faces. Based on the text and original meaning of the words “natural born” in the U.S. Constitution, Senator Cruz cannot constitution-ally be elected as the U.S. President. “Natural born,” according to the “Law of Nations” by Emer de Vattel, means that you are born on the land of the United States of America. Senator Cruz was born in Canada of an American citizen and therefore is only a citizen, but not “natural born.” Benjamin Franklin, a constitutional convention delegate, in a letter written during the U.S. Constitu-tional Convention indicat-ed that Vattel’s “Law of Nations” was used as the manual for legal terminol-ogy at the convention. This constitutional re-quirement is included in

Autism continues to be a growing problem in Ocean County, the State of New Jersey and the entire nation. A report just issued by the Center for Disease Control found that New Jersey’s autism rate in children has jumped 12 percent. Autism now impacts one in every 41 children born in the state. To call attention to autism, I recently asked our coun-ty employees and fellow elected officials to wear blue as part of the nation-wide “Autism Speaks: Light It Up Blue” cam-paign. But simply calling attention to the problem is not enough. I join with our Congressio-nal delegation in calling for more and better screenings of young children as well as early intervention for

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution: “No person except a natural born citizen shall be eligible to the office of President.” This “natural born” restric-tion was and is intended to protect our nation from foreign influences and from divided international loyal-ties. A letter from John Jay to George Washington, the presiding officer of the con-stitutional convention, sent during the deliberations of the convention urged Washington to persuade the convention to require the president to be a “natural born” citizen to avoid divid-ed loyalties. A person born in another country, argued Jay, might not be totally loyal to the U.S.A. He added that it is dangerous for the commander in chief to have divided loyalties. John Jay later became the first chief justice of the United States. So far every time that a reference has been made in a U.S. Supreme Court decision to “natural born” the words are recognized as being born on the land of the United States of America. The 1795 citizenship law written by James Madison, known as the “father of the constitution,” clearly indi-cated that citizens born off the land of the U.S.A., such as Cruz, are not “natural born.” Madison wanted to make sure that statutory law on this issue did not conflict with the U.S. Constitution. That is why he had the U.S. Congress adopt a compre-hensive citizenship law that did just that. When I was in public school I was repeatedly and consistently taught that you must be born within the borders of the U.S.A. to be the president. I was taught the same meaning of “natural born” as an undergradauate student and later when I earned my Master of Arts degree in politics from New York University, I was taught the same. That is what I taught my high school students for 42 years as a U.S. History teacher during our unit on

Today, New Jersey has some of the lowest carbon dioxide emissions in the country. Air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, and particulate matter are at their lowest levels in decades. Emis-sions from our own power plants are lower in New Jersey than they are in 45 other states. The acidity of rainfall in New Jersey has almost returned to natural levels and ground level ozone has also declined considerably. New Jersey’s water is significantly cleaner than it was 46 years ago. Nine-ty-eight percent of our community water systems are in compliance with all chemical and radiological standards and we continue to identify and regulate contaminants of emerging concern to ensure public health. New Jersey’s coastal waters have rebounded from the damage done to them in decades past. Last summer, New Jersey’s beaches were open 99.9 percent of the time. And far more of our lakes, rivers, and streams are fishable and swimmable than they were in 1970. Our state’s land and nat-ural and historic resources are also better protected than ever before. Today, more than 1.5 million acres of New Jersey’s land is permanently protected as open space or farmland. That’s fully 33 percent of our state’s total land area and growing. We have also cleaned up tens of thou-sands of contaminated sites and are now cleaning up such sites at a faster pace than ever before. In the past six years alone, more than 13,000 contaminated sites have been cleaned up and returned to beneficial use. The effect of these success-es is reflected in the health of New Jersey’s wildlife. Forty-six years ago such birds as wood ducks, fal-cons, ospreys and egrets were in a steep decline. Today, all of these birds, and many others, have rebound-ed and their populations are growing. In 1970, about the

only place you could see a Bald Eagle in New Jersey was on the back of a quarter or a dollar bill. Today, New Jersey is home to nearly 150 nesting pairs of Bald Eagles, scattered across the entire state, and that number is growing ev-ery year. And where once animals such as black bears, coyotes, and red foxes were only rarely, if ever, seen in New Jersey, today they are as familiar as squirrels in most parts of our state. Of course, even with all this progress our work is not yet done, and it never will be completed. But on this Earth Day, we have much to be proud of in New Jer-sey. The progress we have made - and the commitment we share to continue that progress - ensures that we are leaving our state’s en-vironment in much better shape than we found it. And that’s worth celebrating.Commissioner Bob MartinNJ Dept. of Environmental Protection

those children diagnosed with autism. As a lifelong educator, I have seen the difference early interven-tion can make. However, a new problem is also emerging. A grow-ing number of senior citi-zens are caring for their au-tistic adult children. What happens when these seniors are gone? As chairman of Senior Services for Ocean County, I’m calling on our leaders from all levels of government to join forces and find a solution to this growing problem. Parents enjoying their golden years should not have to worry about who will care for their sons and daughters. The time to act is now. Together we can find a solution.Joseph H. VicariFreeholder

BERKELEY—Township Police Chief Karin DiMi-chele and I would like to remind residents that this year’s IRS phone scam is in full swing. Residents are receiving cal ls f rom individuals claiming to be or work for the IRS who are attempting to scam people out of their personal information or money. They do this by at-tempting to frighten people over the phone with threats of law suits or criminal arrests/warrants. The IRS generally contacts people

NEW JERSEY – To build upon the protections pro-vided under Megan’s Law, Senator Christopher J. Con-nors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assembly-woman DiAnne C. Gove have reintroduced legis-lation (S-253 and A-1142) to require that the county prosecutors determine a sexual offender’s risk of re-offense, or tier, prior to the inmate’s release from incarceration. Prosecutors classify sex offenders in one of three tiers based on the degree of risk they pose to the public: low risk (Tier 1), moderate risk (Tier 2) or high risk (Tier 3). Connors, Rumpf and Gove have reintroduced legisla-tion to require that a sexual offender’s risk of re-offense be determined prior to re-lease from incarceration.

Berkeley Warns Against Scamsvia mail, not by phone, and will not ask for payment us-ing a pre-paid debit card, a money order or wire trans-fer. The IRS also, will not ask for a credit card number over the phone. Residents are urged not to send money or give out personal information to anyone who may call you. If you are a victim of this scam or if your information has been compromised, please call the Detective Bureau at: 732-341-1132 ext. 117. You may also contact the

Internal Revenue Service directly for questions or to report scams should refer them to at 800-829-1040. Residents can also fill out the “IRS Impersonation Scam” form on the TIGTA website, tigta.gov or call the TIGTA at 800-366-4484. You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov and add “IRS Telephone Scam” to the comments in your complaint. You can also contact the Local IRS offices at 732-660-0063 (Freehold Office) or at 609-

989-0533 (Trenton Office). Again, it is best to report scams to the IRS directly as they have their own law enforcement component to investigate these scam calls which originate mostly out of the country. Or visit: irs.gov/uac/Report-Phishing.Child Passenger Safety

Seat Inspections I’m pleased to announce our continuing collabora-tion with the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department in offering Child Passenger Safety Seat Inspections in Berkeley Township.

The next scheduled in-spection is May 11, from 3 to 7 p.m., at the Bayville Volunteer Fire Co., located on Route 9 in Bayville. These inspections are free of charge. Ask yourself the following questions: Is my child’s safety seat properly in-stalled in my vehicle? Is the safety seat I am using the right seat for my child? Is my child securely seated in his/her safety seat? Is my child ready for a booster seat? Is my child ready to safely travel in a vehicle

without a booster seat? Can my child be placed in the forward facing position before he/she is two years old? Is there a “best” car seat for my child? If you’re not sure of any of these questions, stop down and one of our Certified CPS Technicians will be there to assist.

Determine Sexual Offenders’ Risk Of Re-Offense Before Release The 9th District delega-tion issued the following statement regarding their sexual offender legislative initiative: “A defect within existing law prevents sex offenders from being tiered until they have been released into the community. Currently, an offender’s residence status is a factor that is consid-ered in determining risk of re-offense. Removing the residency factor used in the determination process, as our legislation proposes, would provide that sexual offenders are tiered before they are released into the community. “Given the transient nature of sexual offenders, it’s not uncommon for these indi-viduals to flee before ever being tiered. Obviously, this seriously complicates the

This includes such information as an offend-er’s name, description and photograph, address, place of employment or school if applicable, a description of the offender’s vehicle and license plate number and a brief description of the offense. “While our legislation enjoys bipartisan-sponsor-ship in both Houses, several years have passed since it received committee consid-eration. When considering the severity of crimes com-mitted by sexual predators, it would be foolhardy not to address this defect in our state’s Megan’s Law. To us, this is a common

BERKELEY – Nancy Seibert has been collecting for “Cell Phones for Soldiers” since 2006. She has combined forces with the Berkeley based “Support the Troops” project and Lloyd Mullikin, who has been sending packages overseas since 2004. Over the past six years these projects have worked closely together collecting phones and mail-ing packages, which include calling cards to troops overseas. Cell phones are collected in any condition and sent to a recycler. The profits from the recycling are sent to the organization headquarters in Massachusetts to purchase 60-minute calling cards for troops overseas, so that they may keep in contact with their families during their deployment. To date, there have been over 17,000 phones collected and over 63,000 free 60-minute calling cards donated through the group’s efforts. The group has various drop sites throughout the area so that donors can drop their phones in them. The phones are collect-ed from the sites for recycling. The group also accepts names of soldiers serving overseas to send them calling cards. Just supply their name, rank and military mailing address in order for them to receive a package along with the calling cards.

For more information, contact Nancy Seib-ert, project coordinator at 732-606-6040. Drop locations include: all Lester Glenn Auto Group locations, Berkeley Twp.

BERKELEY – The Berkeley Township Police Department would like to remind its residents that this year’s IRS phone scam is in full swing. Residents are receiving calls from individuals claiming to be or work for the IRS, who are attempting to scam people out of their per-sonal information or money. They do this by attempting to frighten people over the phone with threats of lawsuits or criminal arrests/warrants. Residents are urged not to send money or

IRS Scam Calls In Full Swinggive out personal information to anyone who may call you. Call the police if you are a victim of this scam, or if your information has been compromised. You may also contact the IRS directly for questions or to report scams at 732-660-0063 (Freehold Office) or at 609-989-0533 (Trenton Office). Again, it is best to report scams to the IRS directly as they have their own law enforcement component to investigate these scam calls, which originate mostly out of the country.

TOMS RIVER – On May 22, at the Ocean County Historical Society, located at 26 Had-ley Ave., meet two gentlemen that are well acquainted with David Farragut, the hero, and David Farragut’s legacy, Admiral Farragut Academy. This event will occur at 2 p.m. Robert Caleo, a retiree from Bell Labs, who holds degrees from Rutgers University and New York University, has remained active in two of his long-time avocations – writing on historical subjects and teaching at the college level. His research has enabled him to write “Farragut and Family – The Mak-ing of an Elder Hero” and he will enlighten event-goers about the first rear admiral, the first vice admiral and the first admiral in the U.S. Navy.

Admiral Farragut: The Hero & The Military School

Joining Caleo, Robert Matthies, a cadet at Admiral Farragut Academy in Pine Beach, from 1963 to 1967, will relate his knowledge of the academy while he was Headmaster from 1979 to 1993. Matthies’ teaching career began in the Brick Township School System before he moved to the position of administrator and promoter of the unique Admiral Farragut Academy. He is currently serving as the mayor of Seaside Park. Enjoy refreshments and share questions about the famous military school that was built on the Toms River and the man for which it was named, David G. Farragut, after the guests present their program. There is no charge for the program, but reservations are required. Make a reservation by calling 732-341-1880.

FREE SCREENING for Detection of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA)

As many as 2.7 million Americans are estimated to have an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, but only about half of them have been diagnosed. Approximately 15,000 people die from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms in the United States each year. Many patients are not aware of the presence of an AAA. It is more prevalent in patients with history of smoking and family histories of abdominal aortic aneurysms

and hypertension. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms usually do not produce any symptoms until the aneurysm is ready to rupture. It is therefore important that persons over the age of 65, with family history

of AAA and/or history of smoking, should be screened to detect the presence of an aneurysm.If the aneurysm is found and happens to be less than 5 centimeters, the patient should be followed periodically as an outpatient with ultrasound to check for any significant increase in the size of the

aneurysm. If the aneurysm turns out to be greater than 5 centimeters, the patient should consider repair of the aneurysm and discuss treatment options with a Vascular surgeon.

Please call the office at 732-244-4448 to schedule your free screening.

Dr. Isidore KirshPh.D., F.A.A.A.

Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

Hearing Health Snap Shot Did you know that your hearing health has a direct effect on your overall health? Some causes can be natural and others would surprise you. It is important to take an empowered, proactive approach to hearing health during every stage of your life. I would sincerely suggest that you read this column several times and share this information with your friends and family.

Risk Factors Hearing loss is about twice as common in people with diabetes compared to those without the disease. Adults with pre-dia-betes, whose blood glucose is higher than normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis, have a 30 percent higher rate of hearing loss compared to those with normal blood sugar. Current smokers are 1.69 times more likely, or have a 70 percent higher risk to have hearing loss than nonsmokers. Studies have shown that a healthy cardio-vascular system has a positive effect on hearing. Conversely, inadequate blood flow and trauma to the blood vessels of the inner ear can contribute to hearing loss.

Hearing Loss In America 1. One in three people over the age of 60 have hearing loss. 2. One in six Baby Boomers (49-68) have hearing loss. 3. One in 14 Generation Xers (37-48) already have hearing loss. 4. One in five teenagers have some type of hearing loss. 5. Hearing aids can reduce the effects of hearing loss by 50 percent

Effects of Hearing Loss on a Patient’s Life

Memory and Hearing Loss: Adults with hearing loss are more likely to develop problems thinking and remembering than adults with normal hearing. Degraded hearing may force the brain to devote too much of its energy to processing sound. Adults with hearing loss develop a signifi-cant impairment in their cognitive abilities 3.2 years sooner than those with normal hearing. Those with hearing loss experience a 30-40 percent greater decline in thinking abilities compared to their counterparts without hearing loss. Dementia and Hearing Loss: Seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. Adults with moderate hearing loss are 3 times more likely to develop dementia and those with severe hearing loss are 5 times more likely to develop dementia. Mental Health and Hearing Loss: Hearing loss results in social isolation. Adults with untreated hearing loss tend to withdraw from engaging with family and friends. Adults, 50 and older, with untreated hearing loss are more likely to report depression, anxiety, anger and frustration, emotional instability and paranoia, and are less likely to participate in social activities than those who wear hearing aids. The degree of depression and other emotional or mental health issues also increases with the severity of the hearing loss.

10 Tips To Outsmart Allergies

Every spring, some of you voluntarily harm your brain with antihistamines that make you feel like a zombie, or hungover with brain fog. These “first generation” antihistamines make you tired all day too. Allergy symptoms occur because your body releases histamine and leukotriene (and other pro-inflammatory compounds), which lead to runny nose and watery eyes, swelling, con-gestion, a scratchy throat and sneezing. Your goal would be to control those two cytokines and balance immune function. Go to a physician and pay a lot to be told to “avoid triggers” or “move” or “stop eating 40 foods.” Grumble all the way home because you know it’s not possible in your situation. So here’s my top ten list to help you: 1. Vitamin C – It’s a powerful antioxidant that prevents histamine from being made, rather than blocking it’s action at the cell’s doorway like a drug (antihistamine). It also reduces inflammation and helps with im-mune function. 2. Stinging Nettle – This herb is time tested, people who take it occasionally feel a mild diuretic effect. Compounds within the herb include carotenes, vitamin K and quercetin. Dosage varies, you can drink tea or take supplements. 3. Essential Oil of Eucalyptus – Used in steam inhalations or diffused in an aromatiz-er. Eucalyptus opens up your sinuses and air passageways, improving airflow. It contains “citronellal,” which has pain-relieving ben-efits and anti-inflammatory effects making it useful for upper respiratory infections.4. Salt – Natural, unrefined salt (not table salt) actually has natural antihistamine effects. If you’re having a sneezing fit, or hay fever

attack, put a tiny amount of unrefined salt on the tip of your tongue. Let it absorb, you don’t have to swallow it. Rinse the excess. Another variation of using salt is to drink a little salt-laced water during your attack. Use saline in your Neti pots daily. 5. Bromelain – This pineapple-derived enzyme is sold as a supplement. It reduces swelling as well as mucus production, so it’s particularly helpful for sinus infection. It may thin mucus making it easier for you to breathe.6. Avoid histamine-forming foods, thus re-ducing the burden of histamine inside your body. These foods include sausage, smoked meats, chocolate, alcohol, aged cheese, dried foods, fermented foods and nuts. 7. Visit a salt cave – These are amazing, I’ve been inside one in Santa Barbara. They are popping up as the new “spa treatment” across North America. Sitting in a Himalayan salt cave, inhaling ionized air infuses your body with valuable minerals. The particles of sodium chloride may improve allergies and kill fungus. 8. Butterbur – I wrote about this in my Headache Free book. Butterbur acts like the pharmaceutical drug called Singulair, and it inhibits the production of leukotrienes, which trigger swelling in your nasal passages. 9. Propolis – An animal study showed some interesting results. Propolis significantly inhibited histamine release from mast cells. 10. Chlorella – This supplement is a type of algae grown in fresh water often suggested for reducing radiation treatment side effects, stimulating the immune system and increas-ing white blood cell counts. For allergies, chlorella can reduce histamine, and improve interleukin 12 and interferon.

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

Pet SoundsDear Joel, My Dad recently passed away and my Mom is now living alone after 55 years of marriage. Mother is in good health, however she has some very bad days and has nonstop fits of crying. After a while, I don’t know what to say to her. Here is my question. My sister feels that buying her a dog is a good idea. I have mixed feelings about it. Being that you work with widows and widowers, I thought that you may have some experience.Answer: First of all thank you for writing. I indeed do have a lot of experience working with people who have lost spouses. It’s important to keep in mind that there are many young people who lose spouses and it’s not restricted to people 70 and above. Unfortunately illness does not understand age I will get to the dog part, but first want to address a few things that I hear in your letter. You say that Dad passed away recently but don’t give me an exact amount of time. The reason that I say this is that mourning, sadness fol-lowing a death, are very good healing tools. These are expected after a major loss. If however your mother is having “crying fits” after a year or so, I am

a concerned. L e n g t h y mourning is not healthy and she may need some help, whether it be religious or psychological. Now to the dog part of your question. Not knowing her and not being able to ask you more questions makes it dif-ficult to answer. I do not recommend a puppy for people her age. It may be too physically challenging and could be damaging psychologically if she feels like she isn’t doing a good job. Has she had dogs before? If not, there is no way of knowing if she has any interest in having an animal around. My list goes and on. While I personal-ly believe that it would be a good idea, this is an example of when I wouldn’t surprise her with an animal. Have a discussion with her and see if she even likes the idea. The last thing she needs is a dog being delivered to her home and then asking for the dog to be removed a week later.

The Interaction Between Workers’ Compensation And A State Disability Pension

As you may be aware, if you are injured while working, as a result of an occupational exposure, or a specific traumatic event, you are statutorily permitted to file for workers’ compensation benefits. In addition, if you are in a position that you are involved in the State pension system, you may be entitled to an accidental or ordinary disability pension. Generally, if you are involved in a traumatic event at work that ultimately deems you unable to perform your duties any longer, you may be entitled to an accidental disability pension. There is no minimal time of employment to be eligible for this pension. The jurisdiction as to whether you are disabled from your job duties as a result of the traumatic event rests with the Division of Pensions. However, the accidental disability pension may entitle you to in excess of 70 percent of your wages and family health benefits. However, if you are approved for an acciden-tal disability pension, there is a direct dollar for dollar offset for any workers’ compensation benefits you receive. This is to say, you may still file for workers’ compensation benefits, and may be entitled to benefits pursuant to same, but your pension benefits will be re-duced by any recovery made. This, in fact, does not decrease your financial benefits, but merely may change from whom the money is received. However, the law is different when a person involved in the State pension system is ap-proved for an ordinary disability pension and that person also has an injury with permanent

residuals in the course of his or her employ-ment. In most cases, in order to be considered for an ordinary disability pension, you will have had to be in the State pension system for 10 years. This also may only provide a pension benefit of approximately 43 percent of your salary. As in the accidental disability pension, the decision as to whether you are disabled from your job duties rests with the Division of Pensions. In New Jersey, there is a long standing public policy against double recoveries for the same injuries. In New Jersey, an injured employee may receive an ordinary disability pension and workers’ compensation benefits. However, the workers’ compensation benefits may be subject to a dollar for dollar offset for pension benefits. However, an ordinary disability pension is generally not the result of one traumatic event that deems the worker unable to perform his or her duties, but generally is the result of nu-merous and varied disabilities that may or may not be work related, or related to the workers’ compensation injury. As such, there only exists an offset for those injuries incorporated in the approval of the disability pension and are specifically involved in the claim for workers’ compensation. In converse, the disabilities unrelated to workers’ compensation then are not included in the calculation of the offset. As you can see, your choice as to whether to pursue workers’ compensation benefits when eligible for either disability pension is a diffi-cult and law sensitive decision that should be reviewed with an attorney in depth.

change in 20 years, but this increase doubles the potential compensation. As to whether any commissioners are re-ceiving health benefits, only a member who was appointed before state law changed in 2010 could be grandfathered into still hav-ing them, Staiger said. Township Business Administrator John Camera said no board members for either authority are using their health benefits. Camera said the monthly public meetings that these authorities hold do not fully represent the scope of work a commissioner could face. “Like most boards, what I’ve seen is that they do more than there may be in a monthly meeting,” he said. “They seem to put in more time than just one meeting a month. These boards are in control of a lot of business, and operate efficiently.” Camera said both authorities haven’t in-creased their utility rates in some time, and carry surpluses, giving a portion of that to the township, which in turn lowers the municipal tax rate. “They certainly earn that,” he said of their benefits. As to why a school board or other board does not provide compensation, Camera answered that statute often controls which ap-pointments can come with compensation and

minimum of one hour a day of activity for a week. Clara B. Worth school’s entire fourth grade class, 125 students, participated. The cafeteria also offers fresh fruits and vegetables with school lunch, with creative menus such as wraps and bowls like a but-ternut lettuce wraps. “The Jets Play 60 “Eat Right, Move More” program reinforces schools’ efforts to teach children to make healthy choices, whether it is eating more fruits and vegetables or getting more exercise,” said Rose Tricar-io, NJDA Division of Food and Nutrition

which cannot, leaving it out of the township’s hands. Wheeler-Shaw said it still smacks of unnec-essary spending, and that money is residents’. “Do the right thing by the ratepayers,” she said. “The optics look bad when no other boards are getting paid for their services. This is excessive, extreme and unearned.” Ultimately, the council voted unanimously to adopt the ordinance. Wheeler-Shaw asked if the matter could be left up to voters, not the council, by having a referendum. To do so, 10 percent of registered voters in Berkeley would have to sign a petition to have the vote recalled, and then the matter could be made as a ballot question as a refer-endum for the public to vote on. “With a referendum provision, I’m pretty con-fident the voters would be in favor of capping this,” Wheeler-Shaw said. Compensation for local utility authorities was a political issue elsewhere, such as in Toms River, where the Toms River Municipal Util-ities Authority commissioners are also paid. The seven commissioners there each receive an annual $2,000 stipend, and some who are grandfathered in were budgeted to receive health benefits, according to the 2015 budget statement. According to the TRMUA’s 2015 budget, the estimated other compensation, in-cluding “health benefits, pension, etc.,” ranged from $1,000 to $31,766 for the members listed.

Director, in a statement. “We congratulate Clara B. Worth School for providing an environment that provides children with access to nutritious foods and opportunities to be more active.” The $5,000 grant will go toward improving school food service and physical education programs. The monetary award is made possible by the Jets and the American Dairy Association North East. Clara B. Worth was the division champs, but the state champion was Carlstadt Public School in Carstadt, who will receive a $15,000 grant. Attending as part of the visit was also Mayor Carmen Amato and Freeholder Joseph Vicari.

the constitution. In 2008, an aide to Hillary Clinton claimed that presidential candidate Barack Obama could not be elected president because Obama was born in Kenya and therefore was not “natural born.” The Obama campaign, rec-ognizing that being born in Kenya would bar him from being elected president, produced a birth certificate indicating that Obama was born in Hawaii. The point is that as late as the last two presidential elections it was rec-ognized that you had to be born in the U.S.A. to be elected president. Hillary Clinton can challenge Cruz’s right to be elected president even as late as the approach of the meeting of the electoral college after the November elections. The constitutional conservatives on the U.S. Supreme Court most likely would rule that Cruz is ineligible to be U.S. President and the leftists could vote the very same way in order to get a president who would appoint more liberal justices.

Opening Day should be a time of celebration for baseball fans everywhere, but Comcast continues to deny close to a million of its subscribers access to New York Yankees telecasts on the YES Network. Comcast should restore YES to its lineup and honor the deal to which it agreed last season so that YES’ Yankees telecasts, among the most popular sports programming in the U.S., are available to all Comcast viewers in the Tri-State area.Eric HandlerYES Network Spokesperson

If such a Clinton challenge is upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, constitutional conserva-tives who are supporting Cruz would regret their votes for Cruz. Cruz would render a great service to their cause by acknowledging that he is ineligible to be elected president and then become the best choice to be the next con-servative judge on the U.S. Supreme Court.Jim FulcomerSeaside Park

FREEHOLD – The Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County, (JHMOMC), 310 Mounts Corner Drive, will show the premier of “Gell-man American Dream,” a documentary about the Gellman family created by New Jersey filmmaker Gary Gellman, on May 15, at 3 p.m. The recently produced documentary features the Gellman family, who has lived in New Jersey for 110 years. As Jewish immigrant farmers during the first half of the 20th century, they settled in Western Monmouth County and built a business supplying vegetables to the Garden State region. According to Gary Gellman, who is a grand-son, four generations of his family are still alive. His oldest living aunt, age 97, is the only one of nine children still alive and a life-long resident of Monmouth County; she hopes to attend the premier of the film. Karin Levy Gellen, Boca Raton, FL, is co-au-thor of “Yesterday,” a Gellman family historical book. Gellen will also be present among other guests. After the premier of the film, Gellman will explain how families can create their own family history documentary. He will detail the entire process, provide guidance about the creation process and describe how he collected all of the materials necessary to put together the doc-umentary of his family, from old family movies to newspaper articles. “We recorded interviews with family members in their 80s and 90s, incorporated old film reels, photographs, media publications and created

a 30-minute piece that documents our family history,” said Gary Gellman. “Our Jewish history came alive as we produced this docu-mentary and uncovered our fascinating past.” It is remarkable what Jewish farmers needed to do to survive. Gary Gellman, founder of Gellman Images, has been featured nationally more than 500 times in newspapers, magazines and on radio, over the last twenty-seven years. This includes ap-pearing nationally on CBS’s “The Early Show,” ABC’s “Good Morning Las Vegas,” CBS’s “Early Show Indianapolis,” Fox’s “Good Day Philadelphia,” Action News’ “Early Edition,” NBC’s “10” and News 12’s “Daytime Edition” to discuss the multi-media industry. He has been a featured speaker at conventions in Las Vegas, Philadelphia and Atlantic City. Gellman com-pleted his broadcasting and journalism studies at The College of New Jersey. Reservations for the screening and talk are recommended. Admission is $8 for Museum members and $10 for non-members. For more information or to make a non-refundable paid reservation, call the Museum at 732-252-6990 or visit jhmomc.org. The Jewish Heritage Mu-seum is located in the Mounts Corner Shopping Center, at 310 Mounts Corner Drive. It is on the second floor of the historic Levi Solomon Barn. The JHMOMC is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and is handicapped accessible. For more information or to speak with Gary Gellman, call 732-431-8273 or email [email protected].

Business Profile

The hardest thing in life is to mourn the loss of a loved one. It’s some-thing we all must do. Each step after a family member has passed may seem like an eternity. During these moments a family needs to know which way to turn. Carmona-Bolen Home for Funerals has been helping families with their next step since 1950. Their webpage says “Let our family serve your family” and it’s a mes-sage they emphasize in their business. Since the beginning, Carmona-Bo-len was founded with the belief of creating a per-sonal family atmosphere and ensuring that this is reflected in their service to the customers. Larry Bolen and his wife Joyce

purchased the funeral home in 1980. In 2006, Larry passed away but the business is still re-mains family owned and operated. Carmona-Bolen is pres-ently run by Joyce Bolen, along with Michael De-Fonzo, funeral director and manager of both the Toms River and Whit-ing locations. The rest of the Carmona-Bolen staff consists of Joyce’s niece Cherie Robertson who works in the office, funeral directors Jason Campagna and Sarah Hansen, office workers Patrick Piccoli and John Deem, along with a few other funeral assistants. Owner Joyce Bolen has always emphasized that Carmona-Bolen is a family business where

people can receive that personal attention during their time of need. “My aunt has always wanted people to feel that it is our family helping their family,” says niece Che-rie Robertson. Both Toms River and Whiting locations offer the same services. In-side the funeral home, clients are greeted with an aviary which houses small f inches, a large f ish tank, and a kids’ room for children. The Toms River location has a renovated area known as “The Angel Room” which has an airbrushed ceiling painted by man-ager Michael DeFonzo. The viewing rooms are designed for comfort ac-cording to funeral direc-tor Sarah Hansen. She

states that instead of a traditional viewing room with the chairs lined up in rows, Carmona-Bo-len’s rooms are centered around the loved one, allowing for a more inti-mate atmosphere during the viewing. Carmona-Bolen and their staff offer step-by-step solutions for griev-ing families. Any special details associated with the death of a loved one can be arranged at either facility. Several different forms of services from traditional funerals, to cremations and memo-rial services are offered at Carmona-Bolen de-pending upon the needs of their clients. Carmo-na-Bolen also encourag-es pre-planning to lessen the burden financially

Carmona-Bolen: Family Owned And Operated

and emotionally for their loved ones. “We offer services for different religions and we can do different types of funerals,” explained Cherie Robertson. She also stated that a major-ity of people see their buildings and assume that only traditional ser-vices are offered, but Carmona-Bolen can of-fer services for any need. Items like flowers, monu-ments and obituaries and even community links are located on their website as well as other topics not often thought of. A section of the website is dedicated to answering frequently asked ques-tions, in addition to links to surrounding amenities near the funeral home. Carmona-Bolen wants

the public to know that when a client walks into their funeral home they are welcomed with a warm feeling. “There is comfort in knowing the same people have worked here for years. It is a family- like feeling, said Cherie Robertson. “Every time you come here you’ll see the same faces” said funeral direc-tor Sarah Hansen. For more information about Carmona-Bolen or their services you can contact manager Michael DeFonzo or the Carmona-Bolen staff at 732-349-1922 for the Toms River location or call 732-350-0003 for the Whit ing location.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you break enough rules eventually that rule is replaced. Until then you must yield to the pressure to conform and stick to what you know best. Seek the sound advice of friends or partners in the week ahead.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Good manners make the man. Your interest in a variety of unusual subjects can earn you the friendship or admiration of less adventurous souls. Be content to stick to the conventional route in the upcoming week.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A tendency to wallow in self-indulgence could put you in the doghouse as this week unfolds and cause others to criticize. Bypass social exchanges and keep your nose to the grindstone until the atmosphere shifts.CANCER (June 21-July 22): False starts may occur when too many people wave a checkered flag. This isn’t a good week to give in to romantic notions or to let mixed signals deter you from your goals. Creative activities provide suitable outlets.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Ambition may not be your aim this week. True friendship and mutual appreciation is gender neutral. You may meet someone who has your best interests at heart but physical attraction isn’t part of the equation.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When the oil-can is within reach it is easier to tend to squeaky wheels. Focus on fixing problems within the home and family in the week to come. Use wisdom and generosity to handle intense inter-personal situations.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): People can be

nourished by your energy without draining it. Once stirred by your example someone could go to great lengths to imitate your unconven-tional methods this week. Prevent a friend from burning bridges.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your partners may throw caution to the winds in the week to come. Be a good friend and act as a restraining influence. Getting wrapped up in complicated schemes to protect your future security could drain resources.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be late if you procrastinate. In the week to come you could lose out on opportunities because you take too much time to prepare for public appear-ances or meetings. Be proud of your plethora of experience.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Getting ahead requires persistence and relentless am-bition. In the week to come you may feel less under pressure and can relax to enjoy the fruits of your labors. Your social life may revolve around the home.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Traditional values will keep you afloat when new ideas flood in. Your friends and partners may stray from the herd and tempt you to discard conventions. A sur-prising message might brighten the week ahead.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you don’t stand for something you might fall for anything. It is easy to echo the opinions of your friends just so you appear to fit in. Make a statement this week by concentrating on achieving real-istic goals.

By Wolfgang Puck I’d like to share a recipe that makes the most of the offerings you’d find in your local farmers’ market: an egg white omelet with farmers’ market vegeta-bles. It features an assortment of produce: asparagus, baby spinach, mushrooms, tomato, avocado, watercress , and a touch of fresh serrano chile pep-per. But you could substitute whatever other vegetables that you might prefer. Egg white omelets have be-come very popular in recent years among people who want to cut down on fat but still get lots of healthy protein. If you want a touch of f lavor and golden color without too much additional fat, substitute an egg yolk for one of the whites called for in the ingredients list. I generally like to cook one omelet at a time, though you could also prepare a larger om-elet in a larger pan for two, three or four people, cutting it into individual portions after cook-ing. Either way, you’ll find that the recipe takes just minutes to prepare. I cook most of the vegetables quickly in a l it tle olive oil, drain off excess liquid (a must if you’re including spinach), and then mix them in with the eggs before cooking the omelet. The remaining vegetables, un-cooked, become garnishes and a simple salad to accompany the eggs. The combination satisfies greatly, whether you serve the omelet for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner and at any time of year!

EGG WHITE OMELET WITH FARMERS’ MAR-

KET VEGETABLES Serves 1

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil3 large cultivated mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced1 spear asparagus, trimmed, cut diagonally into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick

2 ounces baby spinach leaves (about 2 cups packed), plus 1 ounce for serving1/2 to 1 tablespoon ser rano chile, chopped, seeded and de-veined5 large cage-free egg whites 2 tablespoons f reshly grated Parmesan cheese Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) tomato, diced and seeded Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a heavy medium nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms and asparagus and saute, stir ring constantly, for about 2 minutes. Add 2 ounces of spinach and the serrano chile; saute brief ly, just until the spin-ach wilts. Transfer to a sieve set over a bowl. Press to release excess liquid. Pour the egg whites, Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste into another container or bowl. With an immersion blender or a wire whisk, blend the whites until smooth and frothy. Stir in the drained sauteed vegetables. Over high heat, add 1 to 2 ta-blespoons more oil to the skil-let. Add the egg white mixture. Shake the pan back and forth, stir r ing with the back of the fork to scramble lightly, about 1 minute. Spread half of the to-matoes across the center. Cook until the egg whites are opaque and gently set, about 1 minute longer. With the fork, fold the near edge of the omelet in towards the center and over the filling. Fold the far edge in over the center. Slide or push the omelet toward the far end of the skillet. Grip the handle f rom underneath. With your f ree hand, hold a plate almost vertically near the skillet. Tilt the skillet and move the plate underneath to roll the omelet onto the plate. Arrange the remaining spinach and tomato around the omelet, garnish with parsley and sea-son with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
