those problems with services such as a food bank, charitable restaurant and social services in one place. Bon Jovi, who opened his first Soul Kitchen restaurant concept in Red Bank, spoke at the grand opening of BEAT, which stands for Bringing Everyone All Together.

The rock star explained its a place where families and individuals can access food, job training and resources to help end the cyclical causes of hunger in Ocean County. His charity, Soul Kitchen, served its 50,000th meal this year at its Red Bank

By Catherine Galioto TOMS RIVER The map of the town-ship such as where certain businesses and homes would be permitted, or the size of lots and roads is being reviewed in the scheduled Master Plan Update, a process which last took place 10 years ago. A meeting to gather public input on the Master Plan will take place 6 p.m. May 18 in town hall. Since the last Master Plan Update, res-idents and officials have seen the impact of Superstorm Sandys devastation and rebuilding, but also more growth of the northern part of the township. Some of the largest parcels of undeveloped land are in the North Dover and Pleasant Plains portions of Toms River, but at the last township council meeting, Council President Brian Kubiel said the building department was reporting record numbers of permits, with a majority coming from those northern portions. Also at that council meeting, the town-ships purchase of land off Route 9 in North Dover for preservation as open space, instead of allowing it to be developed, was discussed with residents who had questions

Public Meeting On Toms Rivers Master Plan

By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY A bike ride to Washington D.C. from New Jersey, fo-cusing on police officers who have died in the line of duty, included participants from many towns in Ocean County and honored those locally as well. The primary purpose of the Police Unity Tour is to raise awareness of law enforce-ment officers who have died in the line of duty. The secondary purpose is to raise funds for the National Law Enforcement Of-ficers Memorial and Museum. The ride

But the Ocean County Sheriffs Department announced at 11:34 a.m. May 9 that a wanted man who escaped from state pris-on has been apprehended, after a nearly weeklong search.

restaurant, where patrons can pay $10 for a meal or give volunteer hours instead. Bon Jovi said that with the size of the Silverton location being a larger physical space than its Monmouth County counterpart, Soul Kitchen Toms River would be on track to create an even bigger impact in Ocean County. The BEAT Center will house the restau-rant, staffed by volunteers and those working in job training in the hospitality industry, but also welcomes those who cannot afford a meal to instead contribute volunteer hours. Our mission has always been to effect positive change with the issues of hunger and homelessness, Bon Jovi said. Weve received many thanks along the way, but it is us, who must give thanks to you, our neighbors who have helped us to identify how to best create a place that not only provides a healthy meal, but creates a community. That mission of community, and partnered

resources, is the main component of the BEAT Center, organizers said. In addition to the second Soul Kitchen restaurant, the BEAT Center also houses The Peoples Pantry and an Ocean County office of the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. One of the organizers and donor, Philanthropist David Tepper, said the BEAT Center will also help clients with related services, such as social programs, tax preparation and other advice. The Peoples Pantry opened in the hours following Superstorm Sandy to address emergency needs for food and offers an experience where clients can take carts around the pantry to pick out food. Though its moved around in several locations around Toms River, organizers said the last move is into the BEAT Center, as a more permanent place. Pat Donaghue, executive director of the Peoples Pantry, said her organization helps about 100 families a day. These are my neighbors, they are your neighbors, Donaghue said. They are blue-collar, they are home owners, they are hard-working, contributing members of societyThats

the point I want to make. They might not be the people you think would end up needing a food pantry. They are you and me. Donaghue said that though Sandy is nearly four years behind the community, the financial impact remains, here and nationwide. She quoted recent studies and polls that showed it only takes a $200 shortfall to start a family rolling toward great financial pressure, as evidenced in the widespread foreclosures in Ocean County. Helping those families is a main component of the BEAT Center, she said. Congressman Tom MacArthur donated to the FoodBank and dined at the Red Bank Soul Kitchen before stepping into public office, but in his role as an elected official, learned more about the need that operations such as the BEAT Center would provide. What I was struck by is the word digni-ty. When you fall on hard times, it can be hard for people to ask. But sitting there at the Soul Kitchen, you have no idea if the person sitting next to you or serving you is someone in need, and there is a dignity in that. Its a beautiful place, the meals are

well done, and there is a dignity in that and thats what we have to do, MacArthur said. We have to meet a need, we have to do it effectively, and we have to do it with dignity. Carlos M. Rodriguez, executive director of the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, said the BEAT Center will be the Ocean County hub of their operations, which has a main office and distribution site in Neptune. David Offenberg, chair-man of the food bank, said Ocean County has overtaken Monmouth County slightly, now having more of a demand for services than Monmouth. Rodriguez said that before the economic downturn in 2008, the foodbank was dis-tributing about 1 million pounds of food, but the recession and then devastation from Superstorm Sandy hit the area, that number has grown to 4 million pounds. He said that with the BEAT Center, the support system is in place to not just feed the long lines, but to shorten them. The B.E.A.T. Center is now open to the public. It is located at 1769 Hooper Ave. For more information, visit thebeatcenter.org.

in development in those Toms River neighborhoods, but also as a result of neighboring Lakewoods population growth, and how plans to provide safe-ty upgrades to Route 9, could also be factored into the Master Plan Update, officials said. Toms River also has a series of neigh-

borhood plans made recently as a result of the state Department of Community Affairs help in post-Sandy planning assistance. The Post-Sandy Planning Grant Pro-gram enables the township to integrate hazard mitigation planning into the land use planning of the community, but also

lead to development of neighborhood plans for Ortley Beach and the barrier island, the waterfront mainland and downtown parking. Public input is encouraged. The Master Plan Update meeting is in the L. Manuel Hirshblond Room, Toms River Munic-ipal Complex, 33 Washington Street.


But first they had to get there. The bicycling participants were met with community support at several turns, whether local officials held cer-emonies honoring them or local police provided escorts or other support. In Toms River on May 9, the Ocean County Freeholders held a Police Unity Tour ceremony, which honored among others Tina Rambo, a detective in the Ocean County Prosecutors Office, who was driving on Route 70 in 2011 when an oncoming car veered in front of her car and the two hit head-on. Riding in honor of Cpl. Scott R. Thompson were members of the Manchester Township Po-lice Department. Manchester held a ceremony of its own May 9. Each year, a group of Officers from the Manchester Township Police Department has completed the Unity Tour in honor of Ptl. Robert Tobias, who was struck by a passing motorist and killed while conducting a traffic

the Forked River rest stop on the Garden State Parkway in Lacey, in a search au-thorities said continued into the morning of May 9. A tip from a driver who noticed someone in the woods led police to apprehend Buckel without incident, said Lacey Police Chief David Paprota. A Lacey detective discovered the suspect near northbound mile marker 76.5 and held him at gun point. Lacey Detective Keith Pearce was assigned to a fixed surveillance position at the Forked River Rest Area of the Garden State Parkway in the event the escapee, Arthur Buckel, was either hiding in the area or might possibly return to the area, said the police chief. While Detective Pearce was at the post with K-9 Officer Daniel Rotundo from the New Jersey Department of Corrections, a passing motorist reported possibly seeing a person in the woods along the northbound lane on the east side of the roadway at MM 76.5 in Lacey Township. Detective Keith Pearce responded immediately to the loca-tion near the rest stop and held the subject at gun point. With the assistance of the New Jersey Department of Corrections Officer, escapee Arthur Buckel was taken into cus-tody without resistance, said Paprota. The chief commended the multiple-agency efforts after the first tip came in late May 8. The members of the Lacey Township are very proud of Detective Pearce and all of our personnel involved in the operation since 11 p.m. last night. Our focus was on main-

taining strategic positions throughout this event to ensure the safety of our residents, said Paprota. Previously, the hunt was centered around Barnegat for Buckel, with store cameras at a CVS showing him walking in to buy gum. Buckel escaped from the Bayside Prison Unit at Ancora Psychiatric Hospital near Hammonton and Winslow Township, some-time on May 3. The 38-year old man was admitted to Bay-side on November 20, 2015, and was serving a three-year prison term for aggravated assault, drug possession and burglary but was less than a month away from being con-sidered for parole at the time of his escape. Earlier that morning, Paprota, in a post on the police department Facebook page, advised that Arthur Buckel had reportedly indicated a desire to turn himself in and had been making arrangements through family and the NJSP involving the rest area on the GSP but walked off prior of the arrival of the NJSP personnel. Further details surrounding his apprehen-sion were not yet available. A weeklong search temporarily had schools on lock down, though police said there was no immediate danger as police went door-to-door in Barnegat as part of the search May 4 and 5. May 9, Central Regional Schools an-nounced there was a restriction on students going outside and teachers from holding class outdoors. Buckel was turned over to state police at the scene and transported to New Jersey State Prison, Trenton.

stop along Route 70 in 1975. In addition to Ptl. Tobias, whose family was in attendance, this years ride honors Cpl. Thompson, who passed away on April 10, 2015, while exercising in the police headquarters gym. His wife, Mrs. Tracy Thompson, was presented with the Unity Tour Gold Rose during the riders stop in Manchester Township.We remember the sacrifices, we care for those left behind, and we never forget that it is a priv-ilege to be in this Blue fraternity, because there is no other one like it. It is an honor to be a part of this Unity Tour to ride for those who died, said Chief Lisa Parker, who along with Mayor Kenneth Palmer and Rev. James Davis, offered remarks in remembrance of Cpl. Thompson and all of those law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice for their communities. The widows and widowers of those police officers who have died did not just attend the ceremonies, but some also make the long bike ride, such as group of police widowers from Palo Alto, CA, and Pittsburgh, PA who are fifth-year riders.

Do You Suffer From Numbness or Tingling Down the Arms or Legs?

THIS SOLUTION COULD GIVE YOU YOUR LIFE BACK!

NOT FOR EVERYONE. WHILE THIS TECHNOLOGY IS CERTAINLY NOT FOR EVERYONE AND MAY NOT BE HELPFUL FOR YOUR TYPE OF PROBLEM, THERE IS ALSO A TREMENDOUS POSSIBILITY THAT IT IS A LIFE-SAVING SOLUTION YOU HAVE BEEN HOPING AND PRAYING FOR.

YOURE NOT ALONE!Most numbness/tingling sufferers have no idea what to do when they experience these symptoms.

Although there are many causes of numbness/tingling one of the main reasons is damage to the joints, ligaments, and discs in the neck or low back. Damage may have occurred as a result of an injury or could have developed slowly over time.

In addition to pain, damaged spinal joints and discs (cushions between the bones) will place pressure on the nerves that go down the arms, hand, fingers, and even the upper back. This pressure is the cause of numbness/tingling. When left untreated, pain and weakness in the muscles may be the eventual result.

When the problem is in the neck or lower back, using over-the-counter, and even prescribed drugs to fix the cause of the problem is not the answer for many. And if medication fails, surgery might be considered the only other alternative. The doctors of Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation want to let you know that there is a another way. Come see what has given our patients pain and numbness relief. Their state-of-theart facilities are located in Red Bank and Wall Township, NJ.

WHAT DO WE OFFER THE NUMBNESS ANDTINGLING SUFFERER?

Some arm and leg conditions that we see can be helped by FDA cleared medical technology known as non-surgical spinal decompression. By decompressing the spine, disc spaces can increase and relieve pressure on pinched or irritated nerves offering substantial relief.

In our office we have seen patients get relief from:

Herniated and/or Bulging Discs Sciatica Peripheral Neuropathy Degenerative Disc Disease CarpalTunnel Syndrome

THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN THE MOST SERIOUS CASES EVEN WHEN NOTHING ELSE WORKED.

EVEN AFTER FAILED SURGERY!In conjunction with spinal decompression we utilize the latest in cold laser and low-light therapy to assist in pain and numbness/tingling relief. These painless, non-invasive FDA cleared medical technologies stimulate the nat-ural healing powers inside cells of injured discs, muscles and nerves.Since offering these technologies we have seen amazing results for back, leg, arm pain and numbness/tingling sufferers. Heres what some of them have said:

It Has Worked 100%.I was having a problem with numbness and tingling in my left hand and had a MRI. The results required an operation, but luckily my girlfriend read the newspaper and read an ad about Monmouth Pain, so I called the office, made an appointment and went to see him and the result I became a patient and I was lucky his treatments worked 100%. Thanks to Monmouth Pain and staff I am now able to use my left hand 100%. Sincere thanks.

I Feel These Treatments Gave Me My Life Back.

I was suffering with back and leg pain for three years and thought my life was over.The only comfort I got was taking pain pills but when they wore off the pain returned. My family found Monmouth Pain and they were very pleased with what they read about it. I feel he gave me my life back. The treatment is painless and I felt the difference.

Ellen E. - Retired Nurse

I Can Guarantee You Will Not Be Disappointed.

For over 10 years, Ive had severe debilitating back pain, and saw numerous doctors, trying different treatments, and finally I was told the end result would be surgery, which I didnt want to have. As time went by my pain levels increased to an unbearable state. I couldnt walk, sit, stand, bend, sleep or even think and I thought for sure I would soon be using a caneor possibly a wheelchair. The thought traumatized me mentally and began to get depressed. A friend noticed how much pain I was constantly in and recommended Monmouth Pain. They were unable to manage my pain. From the very first week of Monmouth Pains state of the art therapy techniques, my life began to change. The severe sciatica which plagued me for so many years began to lessen and lessen. The herniated disc in my lower back began to allow me movement, and it brought the biggest smile back to my face. His treatments are virtually pain free, comfortable, and totally relaxing. I would recommend anyone with severe, debilitating pain, who feels there is no hope or has given up on their previous doctors to come in, see for yourself and receive the blessing of having your life back. I can guarantee you will NOT be disappointed.

I Can Now Get My Sleep And Function At My Job And Enjoy The Things I Like To Do And Feel Great.

I had great results since Ive been having treatments at your office. I was waking up at 4am with pain and numbness in my right hand. I dont wake up at 4am with pain anymore. I can now get my sleep and function at my job and enjoy things I like to do and feel great. I want to thank Monmouth Pain and his great staff. I recommended my friends to see what Monmouth Pain can do for them.

My Wrist Hurt So Much After Working On My Computer At Work!

I am so grateful that I came to the office. When I first came I was suffering from pain in my neck that traveled down my shoulder, into my arm and hand. My wrist would hurt so much after working on the computer at work. My hand and fingers were even beginning to tingle. It was not only affecting my work but it began to compro-mise my personal life as well. Sleeping was very uncomfortable too. I am now feeling a lot better. The pain has subsided a lot. I am so glad that I became a patient here.

Raul D. - Computer Engineer

It Is Such A Great Relief That I Can Sleep At Night.

I saw the article in the newspaper and said, why not give it a try either it will or will not work. I was diagnosed with neuropathy in my feet. I was told there was nothing that could be done just medication I was trying to live with it. It is such a relief that I can sleep at night. There were times I could not fall asleep for days. I felt relief by the second week. I am looking forward to working again and not having any pain to stop me. Monmouth Pain and the staff are wonderful, very friendly, and put you at ease. I would recommend others to go to his office.The treatments really do work.Thanks.

OFFICE CLOSED: Saturday and Sunday

If you look at the Middle East, the countries there were poor desert countries. Local fighting had gone on between the different tribes since the beginning of time. Central governments had very little power. Fighting among all became a way of life. Then came oil and every-thing changed. The West-ern powers and Germany were after the oil at any cost. Then the U.S. joined in the battle for oil. Overnight the poor desert countries became multi-billionaires. They had the oil but didnt know how to get it out of the ground, so they needed the help of Europe and the U.S. The Middle East reached wealth beyond their wildest dreams. In the midst of this, the local tribes kept on fighting with each other. The U.S. and Eu-rope pumped machines and manpower with knowledge into the area. Everybody was happy, for all were making money. Now, at present, the entire Middle East is a war keg ready to blow. To make things worse, the U.S. with Presi-dent Obama has wrecked the area. The U.S. made a deal with Iran to bring a phony peace at any cost. We stepped on everyones toes and forgot who our friends were. We are no longer trusted by all. This deal was supposed to bring peace with Iran; we gave away the candy store with no guarantees. Iran will get our money and our trust that they will stop their atomic program; in return,

Although the FairTax - H.R.25/ S.155 in congress - is a national consump-tion tax on new goods and services and government spending, and will elim-inate all federal taxes on income and investment, it also features a rebate in advance (prebate) based on family size. Having the highest cor-porate income tax rate has resulted in Americans losing jobs as U.S. com-panies have relocated to tax-fr iendlier countr ies (inversions), because the corporate income tax is a reverse tariff on our businesses. The FairTax ends the triple taxation of American multinational firms, i.e., profits being taxed (1) abroad, (2) when dollars come home, and (3) when corporations pay dividends. Trade with foreign coun-tries will boom under the FairTax as American made products leave our shores without embedded corpo-rate income and payroll taxes, thusly, allowing U.S. goods to compete equal-ly with foreign products. American companies will return home as will the jobs lost; and foreign companies will see the U.S. as a tax haven, and build their next job-creating plant here. With an estimated 10 percent embedded taxes removed by the FairTax, the prices of American made products will rise about 17 percent, whereas the cost of foreign goods sold here will rise about 30 percent. Made in America will ap-pear on many more labels. The rise in prices will have no effect on our pur-chasing power as there will be no deductions of federal income and payroll taxes from our paychecks and pensions and social security benefits will be indexed due to inf lated prices. All families will receive the prebate, which untaxes citizen families on their spending up to

The Puzzle In The Middle East

the U.S. got nothing. We sold out Israel, our friends to the Middle East. Now we have the Saudis, who are supposed to be our closest friends in the area, who knew the deal the U.S. signed is phony, and they are going their own way. We have Iran and the Saudis preparing for war. Iran has a new friend, Russia, who is looking to expand in the area. Both the Saudis and Iran are looking to take over Yemen, which is now fighting a civil war; Syria, that has become a puppet of both Iran and Russia; Iraq, which we made a mess of and now is looking toward Russia for help; Turkey, which wants to bring down the government of Syria; Jordan, which is not sure which way to turn and Afghanistan at war with itself. It doesnt seem possi-ble, but the U.S. has lost the trust of Israel. In other words, we have made a total mess of the Middle East in the past seven years. President Obama will soon leave office and brought the Middle East to the brink of war. Is this possible that this has happened, brought about by one man? You no longer can tell the good guys from the bad. The President thinks he has saved the Mid-dle East. He has no idea that he has helped to sink the ship and no one trust the U.S. Then to bring everything to a head, the Saudis execute 47 Iranians, including one cleric. What has the U.S. done in the area and what will come next?Herb Greenberg, Jr.Brick

the poverty level, while millennials and low and middle income earners can purchase FairTax-free used automobiles, buy homes on resale, save more, or invest their additional cash. The FairTax will tax gov-ernments on all levels for their purchases of new items and the salaries/wages of their employees so that pri-vate companies can com-pete with governmental agencies on a level playing field in areas such as gar-bage collection and utilities i.e. ,water, gas, electric. Otherwise, a town council could float a bond or impose a tax to fund a purchase or project, whereas, a private enterprise would unfairly bear the cost of raising equal revenues to provide a similar service for the town. Government enterprises such as the Postal Service and Amtrak will not pay the FairTax on their purchases or employee salaries since customers will pay the sales tax when they mail a pack-age or buy a train ticket. By seeing the cost of the federal government on every retail sales receipt, citizens can hold elected officials accountable for the priorities that they choose. For example, to fight crime, terrorism, illegal drugs, and illegal immigration, the IRS employs approximately three times as many people as the FBI, the Drug En-forcement Agency, and the Border Patrol. The FairTax will eliminate the IRS as we know it. Its time to end the notion that our paychecks, pen-sions, and social security benefits belong first to the federal government and then, af ter income and payroll taxes are withheld, to us. Our sons and daugh-ters and our grandchildren should inherit our total es-tates. The FairTax will end these taxes along with the capital gains, alternative minimum, and gift taxes.

NEW JERSEY Con-gressman Tom MacArthur recently announced that his office has unveiled FEMA whistleblowers directly in-volved with Hurricane San-dy flood insurance claims.

National Police Weekspecial recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others. National Police Week is a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring Americas law enforcement community. This week 500 police offi-cers rode their bicycles into downtown Toms River for a stop during the annual Po-lice Unity Tour. The Police

Unity Tour (PUT) started in 1997 in New Jersey when the work partner of a fallen officer started a memorial bicycle ride to honor his partner and all fallen law enforcement officers. This week, nearly 2,000 law enforcement officers from around the country will ride from New Jersey to Washington, DC to pay tribute to officers who have died in the line of duty and raise money for the National

Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. On average, 150 law en-forcement officers are killed in the line of duty annually. Those numbers do not in-clude the devastation left in the hearts of spouses, children, parents, and the community the off icers served to protect. This week lets bring public awareness of Police Officers who have died in the line of duty and honor their sacrifices.

Twenty police officers from Toms River are mak-ing the journey. Toms River Police Chief Mitch Little will escort our police offi-cers on motorcycle. The Po-lice Unity Tour made a stop in Ocean County earlier this week en route to the Capitol. The officers plan to arrive in Washington, DC on Sunday for Peace Officers Memorial Day. If you happen to see the Police Unity Tour ride by,

give them a wave. It will show that you respect the work and sacrifice that our hard working law enforce-ment officers do every day to keep you and your family safe. It will honor those offi-cers who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

MacArthur Reveals FEMA Whistleblowers

Congressman Tom MacArthur

From The Desk Of Congressman Tom MacArthur:

Photo courtesy Congressman Tom MacArthurs OfficeCongressman Tom MacArthur announced that his office has unveiled FEMA whis-tleblowers directly involved with Hurricane Sandy flood insurance claims.

due to corrupt and fraud-ulent practices. Following the release of this interview, Congressman MacArthur called on FEMA Adminis-trator W. Craig Fugate to re-sign and for the federal gov-ernment to launch a formal investigation into these al-legations. The report of that investigation was recently released and concluded that FEMA lacked the internal controls necessary to man-age and mitigate NFIPs funds, placing them at risk for fraud, waste, abuse or mismanagement. Follow-ing the release of this re-port, additional documents

and signed affidavits from former FEMA employees have been brought to light, with one such affidavit stat-ing the reason for leaving FEMA was the elaborate process designed to justify minimal payments to pol-icyholders irrespective of the actual merits of their claims. Today my off ice has unvei led FEMA whis -tleblowers that were di-rectly involved with flood insurance claims following the devastation of Hurri-cane Sandy. Their brave move to come forward exposes a systemic effort

by FEMA to wrongfully deny the claims of Sandy victims. This provides our office the catalyst needed to demand a thorough and independent investigation

into this matter. FEMA has failed to provide the appropriate oversight and controls necessary to as-sist the most vulnerable victims. My constituents

have been wronged, and they deserve justice. The federal government cannot and should not be immune to the consequences of their actions.

OCEAN COUNTY With the start of the busy summer travel and prom season looming, Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato announced the continuation of the annual countywide DWI check-point program. The program consists of staging numerous check-points throughout Ocean County. The programs design creates a force mul-tiplier by regionalizing and supplementing local DWI enforcement. The

DWI Checkpoint Program Continuesprogram will also conduct DWI enforcement patrols throughout the county. In making his announcement, Prosecutor Coronato re-minded drivers that an extra measure of caution and not operating under the influ-ence can prevent tragedy. Prosecutor Coronato stat-ed, The tremendous added volume of summer shore traffic and all our area High Schools hosting Senior Proms calls for increased vigilance by law enforce-ment, and that will be the

focus over the coming months to keep motorists safe. We ask that drivers do their part by driving responsibly and making smart choices behind the wheel every day of the year. While inattentive and aggressive drivers are al-ways targets of law enforce-ments regular patrols, the purpose of these efforts is to detect, educate, deter, arrest and vigorously pros-ecute impaired drivers. The program targets those under

the inf luence of alcohol, but in response to Ocean Countys drug crisis, also utilizes an addition of two Drug Recognition Experts at each check point to detect those under the influence of narcotics. The county also oversees a county wide call out system for DREs to respond and assist agencies in conducting evaluations of subjects suspected to be operating a motor vehicle under the influence of nar-cotics. Each year impaired drivers

are responsible for about a third of the deaths oc-curring on Ocean County roadways. Last year, Ocean County had 38 fatalities on its roadways. Though the county has moved from sec-ond highest in the state for fatalities from a year ago, to now ranking fifth out of the 21 counties, there is no cause for celebration. Even one fatality is too many. The checkpoint program, which is funded in part by the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders and

the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safe-ty, will be conducted by local police agencies in conjunction with detec-tives from the Prosecutors Office and Sheriffs De-partment K-9 Unit focusing on both intoxicated and drug impaired drivers. The program is coordinated by the Ocean County Prose-cutors Vehicular Homicide Unit under the direction of Supervising Assistant Prosecutor Michael Weath-erstone.

NEW JERSEY Sustainable Jersey recently announced the three townships and five school districts that will receive an Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) Fellow to provide on-site technical assistance with advanced sustainable energy projects. This technical assistance pro-gram has been made possible through funding provided by New Jersey Natural Gas. We are proud to partner with Sustainable Jer-sey and work together toward a common good, connecting communities with the resources they need to make wise energy choices, said Anne-Marie Peracchio, director of Conserva-tion and Clean Energy Policy for New Jersey Natural Gas. This unique opportunity helps the host township and school districts bridge the gap between available resources and en-ergy-efficiency initiatives. We hope they will leverage insights gained from the process into guidance that will enhance Sustainable Jersey and Sustainable Jersey for Schools action items for other communities to follow. Through the EDF Climate Corps fellowship program, Sustainable Jersey is pairing three specially trained fellows, typically MBA or similar graduates, with three townships and

five school districts to provide expertise and support for evaluation, planning and imple-mentation of projects that will help improve the energy performance of their respective buildings. The EDF Fellows will begin work with township and school district staff in June. The three townships and five school districts that were awarded an EDF Fellow submitted an application that was reviewed by Sustain-able Jersey. Supporting communities with technical expertise to do sustainable energy projects is an important step toward our goal of a sustainable New Jersey, said Sustainable Jersey Co-Director Donna Drewes. This as-sistance will result in lower energy costs and a reduced carbon footprint for each district and its schools. Municipalities and School Districts Awarded an EDF Fellow include: Monmouth County, Howell Township and Howell Township Board of Education; Morris County, Boonton Township, Boonton Township Board of Edu-cation-Rockaway Valley School and Mine Hill Board of Education and Ocean County, Brick Township Board of Education, Manchester Township and Toms River Township.

TOMS RIVER -- The second annual Toms River Police Youth Camp will be held July 11 to 15 from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. those days, and is free to a limit-ed number of residents in grades 6, 7 or 8 currently. Each registrant must fill out an application, available on the police website, before the May 15 deadline, to be considered.

Some of the other activities include exposure to the motorcycle unit, EMS ambulance, SWAT team, fire suppression

vehicles and an obstacle course as well as a field trip to the Ortley Beach Lifeguard station. While the camp is free, each participant must provide their own lunch, drinks and appropriate clothing for the week, such as shorts and white tee shirt. Besides the application, the selection process is based on teacher recommendations and an essay the applicant writes. For more information on the camp, email [email protected]. Phone inquiries will not be returned.

TOMS RIVER The Toms River High School South boys and girls lacrosse teams were treated to the sight of seeing their head coaches being drenched by buckets of ice water on April 23. The reason? A challenge between the teams, for who could collect the most canned food items between April 13 and 23. The challenge resulted in a tie between the teams. The combined efforts allowed for a deliv-ery of over 600 nonperishable food items to the local charity Your Grandmothers Cupboard. Your Grandmothers Cupboard provides free food, clothing, toiletries and other necessities of life for storm and accident victims, the homeless, the hungry, seniors, children and those with special needs. The original idea was sparked by soph-omore girls lacrosse player Jen Toal and her family. Toal brought the idea to one of the captains Nina Shirey, and the two approached their Head Coach Tara Murray about it. Murray decided the team could double its efforts if they got the boys team on board. Murray and Boys Coach Sean Hirtes decided to make a competition out of it. The incentive would be for the team that collected the most canned food items could have their captains dump a bucket of ice water on the losing coach.

Lacrosse Teams Make Food Drive Into A Fun Challenge

The boys and girls campaigned for a week in school and even got their opponents involved. The Indians would like to thank Toms River East, Brick Township and Brick Memorial programs for helping their cause. On April 23, the tally was neck and neck with each team nearing the 300 mark. Do-nations were still coming in before the start of the girls game versus Brick Township. Both coaches were so proud of their players efforts that they both decided to take the hit of the ice water. After the Toms River South girls team defeated Brick Township 16-8, several varsity players packed up the donations for the delivery and volunteered their time to help sort and stock the donations. It was awesome to see the competitive-ness between the boys and girls team in school to see who could collect and raise the most, Coach Murray said. I am glad that players from both our boys and girls team got to see the big picture and give back to our community. This is something that helps people right in our own backyard. I want to really thank our faculty, students, alumni, players and even our opponents who donated to our cause! I hope this is something we can definitely continue to do in the future.

TOMS RIVER Mayor Thomas Kelaher, Police Chief Mitchell Little and the entire Council recently awarded scholarships for seven local high school students. On April 26 at a public council meeting, the officials handed out the awards to the graduating seniors in amounts ranging from $500 to $1,500 each. Many of the students participated in the Toms River Schools TEAM program, which stands for Together Everyone Achieves More. It is a school sponsored civic and service organization.

The race is coordinated by former Toms River Police Lieutenant James Ever-ett for the benefit of the Toms River Police Foundation. The foundation was set up to aid police offi-

OCEAN COUNTY Ocean County Free-holder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liai-son to the Ocean County Board of Health, said, Osteoporosis and the broken bones it can cause are not part of normal aging. There is a lot you can do to protect your bones throughout your life. Youre never too young or too old to improve the health of your bones. Osteoporosis prevention should begin in childhood. But it shouldnt stop there. Whatever your age, the habits you adopt now can affect your bone health for the rest of your life. Now is the time to take action as we recognize May as National Osteoporosis Month. There are two types of exercises that are important for building and maintaining bone density: weight-bearing and mus-cle-strengthening exercises. Learn about each type of exercise and how to incor-porate both into exercise routines. The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) offers these five tips to Break Free from Osteoporosis:

May Is National Osteoporosis Month

1. Get to know the risk factors: Many factors play a role in a persons risk for os-teoporosis, including age, gender, lifestyle, medical history, family history and whether they take any medication or have medical conditions that can lead to bone loss. 2. Get active: Doing regular weight-bear-ing and muscle-strengthening exercise is one of the best ways to protect oneself against osteoporosis and broken bones. 3. Eat Your Way to Healthy Bones: Calci-um, vitamin D, lean protein, fruits, vege-tables and healthy fats are the key to eating for healthy bones. 4. Ask a healthcare provider when to get a bone density test: The painless, ten min-ute test will help predict someones risk of breaking a bone. 5. Dont smoke and dont drink too much alcohol: No more than two drinks a day is best for bone health.

What Should You Expect From Hearing Aids?

If your hearing loss has pro-gressed to the degree that you need hearing aids, a critical factor in their success is your understand-ing and acceptance of realistic expectations of their capabilities. Hearing instruments, regardless of brand or type of technology, can never replace normal hearing in all listening situations. Expecting results that cannot be achieved will only lead to frus-tration and dissatisfaction. If you know what to expect, youll be free to enjoy the improvements that hearing aids can make in your life. Here are some guidelines that should help you formulate a real-istic set of expectations. With properly fitted hearing aids, you should be able to hear many normal sounds that you may not otherwise be able to hear clearly, such as the voice of your client or the words of a loved one. You may also begin to hear sounds you have forgotten were part of your world, such as the hum of a motor on your refrigerator or the buzz of your f lorescent lights. In quiet circumstances, many hearing aid users can achieve a performance level equal to normal

hearing. But as the difficulty of the listening task increases, the gap between a person with normal hearing and a person with hearing loss widens. Hearing aids will not restore your hearing to normal. Science has not been able to match the human hearing mechanism. Youll need time to get used to your new hearing aids to learn how to achieve maximum perfor-mance from them. Patience and persistence is the key to successful hearing aid use. Hearing aids will not filter out background noise, despite some advertising claims. Some hearing aids have circuitry that will avoid boosting the volume of some types of background noise, but this can also remove some of the speech you want to hear. This is usually a benefit, however, providing a more comfortable listening experience and better sound quality in some types of noisy situations. Hearing aids should allow you to understand speech more clearly, with less effort, in a variety of listening situations. Hearing aids should keep others from noticing your hearing loss.

8 Reasons To Avoid Stearate In Your Supplements

Some of you watch your gluten intake, while others avoid artificial colors and sweeteners. Some of you read supplement labels, and others dont. Today, I want to tell you about magnesium stearate. Magnesium stearate or Mag stearate for short is a chemical used by most nutritional supplement companies, and its an additive. It acts like a lube to run machines faster, so as to increase production and therefore profits. This substance consists of magne-sium and stearate, which is a saturated fat. Think of it like bubble wrap around the ingredients of your supplement. It doesnt function as a vitamin or mineral, and more importantly, it doesnt give you magnesium like the name implies. Your body requires biochemical work to pop the bubble wrap and split the molecule apart into its backbone of magnesium and stearic acid. Once split, you get a negli-gible amount of magnesium, perhaps a couple of milligrams. So mag stearate is not a source of magnesium for your body, dont be fooled by the name. Therapeutic doses of magnesium fall into the 200 - 800 mg range. If you read the labels of your supplements and see magnesium stearate, you should know: 1. Its not a source of magnesium for your body, dont be fooled by the name. 2. Its a mechanical lubricant intended to grease machines for faster production. 3. It has no nutritional value. 4. Its an additive. 5. Its sometimes sourced from Genetically

Engineered hydrogenated oils. 6. It may affect the release time of active ingredients and slow it down. 7. It may reduce bioavailability of active in-gredients, certainly makes it unpredictable. 8. Its sort of like grease, it affects the digestive tract in sensitive folks. The sales people at the local store are often very intelligent, but they dont always agree with me about mag stearate. Remember, its in almost every supplement made, and concealed with aliases like stearic acid or vegetable stearate and others. Most sales clerks will tell you its present in the supplement to give you magnesium, but as youve learned, this is not true. The one and only purpose for its use is to aid in the manufacturing process. This is not a toxic ingredient as far as Im concerned, Im just saying that its not good for you as it does not add any nutritional value and it may hinder absorption of the ingredients. No one can agree on this. In 2011, a World Health Organization report found cross-contaminants such as bisphenol A (BPA) and Irganox 1010, which is used in plastics, in a few batches of mag stearate. Even though this happened once, and never again, you deserve to know. I certainly dont mean to alarm you or have you throw out every single supplement in your cupboard, but theres nothing wrong with upgrading your formulas one by one. High quality supplement makers run their machines slower so they dont need this lubricant. In the supplement world, you get what you pay for.

The most labor intensive part of your quest to close on your new home will be providing your banker or lender with all of the financial records and information they require. Equal-ly, during a refinance of your existing home, many of the same financial records will be required. In either of these situations, the process is started by the application process, and moves through the underwriting process until the loan is clear to close. During this time period, which may span from 30 days to several months depending on the complexity of the loan program, there are several things to remember as to not hinder a smooth closing. First, as an applicant, you never want to open new credit cards, switch credit card balances to new credit cards or make large purchases on existing credit cards. Remem-ber: although you may transfer a balance, it takes several weeks for that old line of credit to show on your credit as closed out. Also, even the smallest of purchases on a new card may open up a much larger available line of credit. All of these actions can disrupt your income-to-debt ratio which can be a major obstacle in getting to that clear to close po-sition. This helpful hint applies to both new home purchasers and existing home owners looking to refinance. Second, in a situation where you may be refinancing your existing home, make sure all home improvements that may be ongoing are complete prior to appraisal. One of the steps of any loan is to have a formal appraisal completed. That appraisal can only take into

consideration working bathrooms, kitchens, etc. So, if your home is having the second bathroom renovated, the appraiser may be required to come back for a follow-up ap-praisal when that work is completed. Avoid this delay and make sure you properly plan the timing of your refinancing and home improvement projects, especially if your refinance is going to provide the extra mon-ey to accomplish those home improvement projects. Third, it is important to make sure you are prepared for closing and have enough money saved up to bring to the closing table. Many times a lender or bank will advise that their loan covers closing costs, however, this may mean that only the bank costs are covered. In just about all loans there are third-party costs such as payments to insurance companies, surveyors, title companies, home owner as-sociations, tax office, municipal utilities and many more. It is important to communicate with your banker or lender and review your mortgage documents that outline closing costs that you will be responsible for. The above items may be overwhelming, and we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full-service law firm representing and ad-vising clients in the areas of estate planning, estate litigation, personal injury, general litigation, real estate law, Medicaid law, med-ical malpractice, workers compensation, land use and planning law, wills, trusts, and powers of attorney and much more.
