By Daniel Nee MANAHAWKIN – State highway officials have opened up the newly con-structed bridge over Manahawkin Bay to traffic, marking the first time vehicles have traversed two spans carrying Route 72 between Stafford Township and Long Beach Island. The shift means eastbound traffic is pro-ceeding over the new bridge while west-bound traffic is still flowing in one lane over the original bridge. At presstime, the state Department of Transportation said it expects to move all traffic to the new bridge within the following week, with two lanes running in each direction as crews work to restore traffic patterns to their summer alignment. This shift will permit work to the ex-isting bridge, which will ultimately be closed to traffic. Summer traffic patterns are expected to be fully restored by mid-May, the state agency said.

By Daniel Nee LACEY – The Oyster Creek Generating Station will shut down in November 2019, officials with the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission said in a recently released report. While the year of the negotiated closure of the Lacey Township plant was announced in 2010, the exact date of the shutdown has been the subject of much speculation, in-cluding questions as to whether the deadline could be met. Though licensed federally to operate through 2029, the plant’s owner, Exelon Corporation, agreed to shut down 10 years early to avoid a protracted battle with the state Department of Environmental Pro-tection, which was pushing for expensive cooling towers to be installed at the site. Neil Sheehan, spokesman for the NRC, said in an e-mail that Exelon is expected to file a request with the agency in June that will detail its decommissioning plan. The license amendment, which will cover emergency procedures post-shutdown, will confirm the decommissioning date as November 30, 2019, Sheehan said. Minutes from an April 1 meeting between Exelon and NRC representatives was pro-vided to The Southern Ocean Times. During

demolition of abandoned prop-erties last year after the state government created a law al-lowing municipal governments to fund such measures after a recommendation by officials and an affirmative vote by the municipal council. To date, however, no such demo-litions have taken place in Beach Haven, which led one resident to speak out on the issue at a recent

borough council meeting. Mary Ann Hovan, a Dock Road resident, said her neigh-borhood is home to a number of abandoned properties that have affected her quality of life. Some have buildings that are still standing while others have been demolished without any grading work having been completed, leading to flooding

The lane shifts are part of a $350 million project to construct the new bridge, improve traffic f low between the island and the mainland, and restore wetlands along the causeway route to their natural state while

creating a park. Because the original span across the bay is considered structurally deficient and functionally obsolete, officials say, will

What’s 60 feet tall and can help build a house? A sand castle.

At least that’s what world-renowned sculptor Ed Jarrett and Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity hope (NOHFH). Jarrett and representatives from NOHFH joined with Laurita Winery’s Ray Shea and Randy Johnson to break ground on the “world’s tallest sand castle” at Laurita West (Laurita Inn) April 20. The money raised will go to build a single mom and her two children a home on a donated lot in Toms River. The project has been dubbed “Hands v. Ma-chines.” Although Guinness World Records has opened up the category to both hand and machine sculpting, Jarrett plans to build his newest creation using all the hands he can get. He is a four-time world record holder for tallest sand castle. “My reputation has always been based on ‘by hand,’ and Guinness World Records after [Hurricane] Sandy changed the rules to allow machines. I’ve been doing this for 12 years,” Jarrett said. “I hold four world records by hand. So we’re going back to the hand, and we actually picked up with Habitat for Humanity and we’re going to be building sand castles, building homes, and building hope. We hope to raise a lot of money for Habitat.” Volunteers are asked to donate $20.16 to work for the day, or donate $1 a bucket. Jarrett plans to work 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily until the work in completed. Jarrett has 1,800 yards of “sharp sand” from Kenvil, a sand that hardens when mixed with

water. The sand is the remains of the Sandy Castle in Point Pleasant and Castle Laurita, a project from last year. Though the tent covering the building site at Laurita West is 60 feet tall, the height to beat is 45 ft 10.25 inches, the record reached last October in Miami, Fla. NOHFH builds one home per year and performs repairs for low income families as well. The biggest challenge, dDirector Suzan Fichtner said, is getting the funding for the projects. They hope to raise more than $100,000 for this new home. “We’ve recognized that our success comes from partnerships, collaboration, businesses, people that have a heart for their neighbors.

It’s easy to just walk with blinders on and be consumed in your own life, but if you stop and really take the time to look around and listen, you’re going to hear that there’s so many people that really need our help,” Fichtner said. “It’s our responsibility as people in our communities to just recognize that housing changes peoples’ lives significantly.” The group works with schools, religious orga-nizations and businesses for volunteers and do-nations. For this home the group is building this year, Toms River Township donated the land. “This is bigger than any of us here,” she continued. “I can honestly tell you that the mother and her two children that will be living in this home from this fundraiser, her life will

be forever changed.” The mother works two jobs and goes to school. For Shea, he’s delighted that a talented artist like Jarrett has not only teamed up with NOHFH, but is using his creative talents at Laurita. “We just want to put New Egypt and Ocean County on the map this way,” Shea said. For more information on volunteer registra-tion and scheduling, call and leave a voicemail with NOHFH at 732-228-7962 ext. 108.

be closed to traffic for rehabilitation. The rehabilitation project will bring the bridge up to modern standards for traffic flow and add at least 50 years to the expected life of the span. Upon completion of the rehabil-

the meeting, Exelon was told to coordinate post-shutdown emergency procedure with state and local agencies and to change its emergency plans to reflect requirements that affect permanently defueled nuclear plants.

during rainstorms. “When it rains, there is water there for days,” said Hovan, expressing concern over the Zika virus that has spread across the country, and is spread by way of mosqui-toes. “All winter, I had no see’ums in my house. The second they rake something up, everything comes flying out of there.” Then, she said, there is a proliferation of Styrofoam and similar materials that is built up in the yard behind her home. Hovan said she frequently cleans the materials up. “I’m trespassing, but I can’t live like this

anymore,” she told council members. “I can’t understand how this can be al-lowed, going into our fourth year since Sandy,” Hovan continued. “Nothing has been done. I feel sorry for this person, but I’m worried about my property.” “There are people, believe it or not, who are still waiting to build,” said Mayor Nan-cy Taggart-Davis, adding that numerous borough residents have been the victim of unscrupulous contractors, which has lengthened the storm recovery process. Still, Taggart-Davis said, the borough should be working on formulating its abandoned properties list and beginning to consider demolitions under the state law.

Previously, she said, it was very difficult for a town to demolish a property.“ It was a template for us, and it was very difficult for us until the state adopted this [law], for us to do anything for abandoned properties as long as the people paid their taxes,” Taggart-Davis said. Ultimately, Borough Manager Richard S. Crane, after being asked by Council-man Donald Kakstis, said he would begin drawing up new, quarterly reports to track the progress on abandoned properties in the community and formulate a genuine action plan. “I don’t like reports for the sake of reports, but I’d like to see a quarterly report so we

can really make this happen and address it,” said Kakstis.

Smoking Ban In other news, the borough council has introduced a ban outdoor smoking, includ-ing on beaches. The ordinance, Taggart-Davis said, would prohibit smoking on all borough property, including parks and the beachfront. “This is something that [Gov.] Christie did veto at the state level, so we felt that we wanted to pass it,” Taggart-Davis said. With Beach Haven’s passage of the smok-ing ban, Surf City will remain the only town on Long Beach Island to continue to permit smoking on the ocean beach.

Even after decommissioning, Exelon will be required to keep numerous federal emergency protocols in place, the NRC said. A full “permanently defueled emergency plan” will be implemented between 12 and 16 months after the shutdown, at which point the zirconium fire potential is “neg-ligibly small,” the report said.

This December, Exelon will submit a full report to the NRC detailing the shutdown and emergency procedures that will be put in place, addressing numerous items, including the zirconium fire risk, spent fuel pools that will continue to exist at the site as well as seismic risks. Oyster Creek is the nation’s oldest operat-

ing nuclear power plant, and also a signifi-cant provider of both jobs and tax revenue in southern Ocean County. Lacey officials have been attempting to lure new occupants to the site in anticipa-tion of the closure, and have said there is some interest in the site being turned into a natural gas plant.

itation work, it will serve as the bridge for westbound traffic. The new bridge, the DOT said in a state-ment, is 2,400 feet long with a vertical clearance of 55 feet for vessels below. Ultimately, it will function as the bridge for eastbound traffic once the project is completed.

While officials have warned that con-struction may impact travel times on busy summer weekend, the new sequence is designed to preserve the current two travel lanes in each direction during the mid-May to mid-September tourist season during daytime hours and weekends. The contractor is allowed single-lane

closures overnight and during the off-sea-son, but one lane will always be main-tained in each direction, officials said The entire project, including improve-ments to Marsha Drive in Manahawkin and the entrance and egress from the bridge in Ship Bottom, will be completed in 2020.

Opinion & Commentary 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 orig-inal meaning of the words “natural born” in the U.S. Constitution, Senator Cruz cannot constitutionally 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 Amer-ica. Senator Cruz was born in Canada of an American citizen and therefore is only a citizen, but not “natural born.” Benjamin Franklin, a con-stitutional convention del-egate, in a letter written during the U.S. Constitu-tional Convention indicated that Vattel’s “Law of Na-tions” was used as the man-ual for legal terminology at the convention. This constitutional require-ment is included in Article

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

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” restriction was and is intended to pro-tect our nation from foreign influences and from divided international loyalties. A let-ter from John Jay to George Washington, the presiding officer of the constitutional convention, sent during the deliberations of the con-vention urged Washington to persuade the convention to require the president to be a “natural born” citizen to avoid divided 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 com-mander 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 under-gradauate 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 the constitution.

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

NEW JERSEY – Con-gressman Tom MacArthur

CongressmanTom MacArthur

From The Desk Of Congressman Tom MacArthur: MacArthur Calls For Aegis Ashore Site

To Protect East Coast recently called on the House Armed Services Committee to explore putting an East Coast Aegis Ashore mis-sile defense system in the National Defense Authori-zation Act of 2017. Current missile defense

interceptor sites exist in California and Alaska, but lack one on the East Coast of the United States. The prospect of an Aegis Ashore site offers an affordable way to protect large population centers like New York City,

Philadelphia, Boston and Washington, DC from bal-listic missile attacks. “As the Representative of a significant number of people who lost loved ones during the 9/11 attacks, I take se-curing the East Coast very

seriously, especially when Iran conducts a new missile test nearly every week,” said Congressman MacArthur. “Terrorists have shown in the past that they view cities like New York, Washington and Boston as targets and

will not hesitate to attack. Any increase in protection for these cities is certainly warranted and this study will present an alterna-tive option and a proactive approach to our national security agenda.”

OCEAN COUNTY – Calling it “ludicrous” and “unconscionable,” Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari is asking a state panel to deny a 24 percent increase to New Jersey Natural Gas rates. Vicari, who is chairman of the Ocean County Depart-ment of Consumer Affairs, penned a letter to the state Board of Public Utilities President Richard Mroz ask-

Freeholders Oppose NJ Natural Gas 24 Percent Rate Increaseing that the BPU reject the utility’s request. “Such an unheard of in-crease would have a devastat-ing impact on our residents, especially senior citizens living on fixed incomes,” Vicari said. “How are seniors expected to pay an extra $22 per month, or more than $260 per year?” The increase would be even more of a burden on seniors because the federal govern-

ment did not grant a cost-of-living increase to Social Security recipients this year. “Our seniors saw only a 1.7 percent Social Security cost of living increase in 2015 and none at all in 2016,” said Vicari, who is also chairman of the Ocean County Office of Senior Services. Additionally, older adults un-able to pay the increase might resort to drastic measures in an effort to save money.

“I am afraid many seniors may jeopardize their health by keeping their heat at low or even dangerous levels during the coldest winter months in an effort to save money,” he said. “Natural gas is not a privilege, it’s a necessity for living, cooking and bathing.” Vicari said many local busi-nesses and homeowners are also still recovering from the devastating impact of Super Storm Sandy.

He called the proposed rate increase “an unwarranted burden for those property owners still struggling to get back on their feet” following the storm. “I strongly encourage the BPU to reject this unconscio-nable rate increase,” Vicari said in the letter to Mroz. Vicari said the proposed rates are even more abhorrent following published reports that some gas company ex-

ecutives saw their salaries jump by $1 million in only one year. The salaries of the gas com-pany’s top executives have nearly doubled since 2011, including a 40 percent raise between 2014 and 2015. “Instead of raising rates on the backs of its customers, maybe the gas company should first rein in the high increases it pays its execu-tives,” Vicari said.

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Board of Cho-sen Freeholders is getting ready to return more than $271,000 to county municipalities in recycling revenues. “Recycling in Ocean County continues to provide a host of environmental and econom-ic benefits,” said Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management. “Under the Recycling Revenue Sharing program we are able to return a portion of the proceeds from recycled materials back to our municipalities. For the period of July 1 to Dec. 31, 2015, the amount to be distributed is $271,003. “Since we began this pro-gram in 1995, we have re-turned more than $15 million to our towns,” he said. Under the Ocean County Recycling Revenue Sharing program, municipalities are provided a portion of the recycling revenues based on the amount recycled and the market price of the material.

During the second half of 2015, Ocean County collect-ed 42,016 tons of recyclables from its municipalities. The payout for the period was $6.45 per ton. “Recycling comes with a host of benefits,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly. “One of the greatest benefits is keeping the material out of the landfill and preserving the space there. “As a result of these recycling efforts, municipalities collec-tively saved almost $3 million in the second half of 2015 by not dumping those materials in the landfill where they would have to pay a tipping fee,” Kelly said. The amount returned to the towns, under the Recycling Revenue Sharing program is based on the amount of recyclables collected and brought to the county and the price per commodity in the current market. “These prices change all the time,” Little said. “And even though we have seen a decline in the average price of each commodity we recycle, we

are still able to return money to our towns.” For instance, corrugated cardboard is down $16 per ton to $120 per ton, old news-papers are down $7 per ton to $84 and some plastics have decreased by as much as $125 per ton in comparison to the same period in 2014. Little said towns can use the money as needed, although many invest it back into the recycling program. The towns and the amounts they are scheduled to receive are: Barnegat Township, $9,251; Barnegat Light, $1,141; Bay Head, $834; Beach Haven, $3,556; Beachwood, $3,126; Berkeley Township, $15,302; Brick Township, $33,539; Ea-gleswood Township, $810; Harvey Cedars, $1,059; Island Heights, $834; Jackson Town-ship, $16,784; Lacey Township, $12,093; Lakehurst, $942 and Lakewood Township, $43,700.

Doctors recently took what they hope will be the first step in using embryonic stem cells to prevent blindness caused by “age-related macular degeneration,” the leading cause of vision loss among people aged 50 years and older. Of the two forms of AMD, “wet” and “dry,” the dry form is far more common (90% of cases) and less aggressive and severe than the wet form, which is usually caused by abnormal blood vessels that leak fluid or blood in the center of the retina (the macula). By transplanting stem cells among diseased cells at the back of the eye, physicians hope to prevent sudden severe vision loss from wet age-related macular degeneration, as the stem cells replace the diseased cells.

At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., we are always ready to assist you with your vision needs and answer any questions concerning your eye health. We believe everyone should have a professional eye examination on a regular basis to protect the priceless miracle of sight. Please call 732-349-5622 to schedule an appointment; we are currently accepting new patients.

P.S. Wet macular degeneration almost always begins as dry macular degeneration.

Opening Day should be a time of celebra-tion for baseball fans everywhere, but Com-cast 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 program-ming in the U.S., are available to all Com-cast viewers in the Tri-State area.Eric HandlerYES Network Spokesperson

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 cam-paign, recognizing 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 recognized 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. If such a Clinton challenge is upheld by

Letters:Continued From Page 6

Restore YES to Comcast

the U.S. Supreme Court, constitutional conservatives 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 conservative judge on the U.S. Supreme Court.Jim FulcomerSeaside Park

LONG BEACH ISLAND – The Lighthouse International Film Festival has announced The LIFF Kick Off Party will be held on May 7 at 7 p.m. at Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences, 120 Long Beach Blvd. Loveladies. Discover what’s screening at the 2016 Lighthouse International Film Festival, held June 9 to 12, when the film lineup will be unveiled by Executive Director Eric John-son. The LIFF Kick-Off Party is the time to catch the previews. The party will include hors d’oeuvres, libations and a silent auction. Items included are: stand-up paddle board lessons, original LBI art by local artists, gift cards for fine dining, gift baskets from local businesses, throw pillows from a local design store, professional beach photo shoots, art classes and more. No waiting in line if you buy tickets online. There will be limited tickets available at the door. The Kick Off Party will feature the screen-ing of two award winning short films, “Harry Grows Up” and “Fool’s Day.” The film-mak-ers will be available for questions following the screenings. “Harry Grows Up” is short romantic comedy, lasting 12 minutes. New York is a tough place to find love. Especially for an 18-month-old living on his own. The end is not easy to predict, nor are the well edited

scenes that follow one another, so the viewer is pleasantly surprised at every turn. The use of black and white, instead of color, gives the film a timeless appeal. Complete with a sweet-sounding musical score, this romantic comedy is a gem. This film is a winner of 20 awards including: L.A. Comedy Shorts Fest, Best of New York, New York International Shorts Fest, Best Short Film, Charleston International Film Festival. “Fool’s Day” is a short comedy drama, lasting 19 minutes. “Fool’s Day” is a dark comedy about a fourth grade class that pulls an innocent, April Fool’s prank on their teacher, which accidentally kills her. Pan-icked and convinced they will go to prison, the blood splattered classmates try to cover up the murder and dispose of the body before their D.A.R.E. officer shows up for his week-ly lesson. Winner of the Best Short Film, Seattle International Film Festival Golden Space Needle Award, Vail Film Festival and Best Narrative Short in Tribeca. Tickets for this event are $25. Tickets can be purchased at: Things A Drift (Ship Bot-tom), South End ‘N Surf and Paddle (Beach Haven), Mary Allen Realty ( Ship Bottom) or online at lighthousefilmfestival.org. Proceeds of this event will go to the Light-house International Film Festival, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

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-diabetes, whose blood glucose is higher than normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis, have a 30 per-cent 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 cardiovascular 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. De-graded hearing may force the brain to devote too much of its energy to pro-cessing sound. Adults with hearing loss develop a significant 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.

OCEAN COUNTY – Forever In Our Hearts is an Ocean County support group to help those whose life has been touched by a suicide to start and continue on a path toward healing. Losing someone to suicide is one of life’s cruelest tragedies. Forever In Our Hearts was founded to help those who find them-selves in that forsaken place. Forever In Our Hearts is a public self-help support group built on a base of volunteers that conduct monthly meetings to offer support to those who are left behind. The co-founder, Walter Donovan said, “We are interdenominational by our leadership, yet nondenominational by our doctrine. We

welcome all who want the comfort, support and healing that the meetings can give, re-gardless of religious belief or lack thereof. This is not to say that we are not spiritual. We are a faith based organization because we believe that faith is our strongest healing medicine.” Meetings are held at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 130 Cable Ave, Beachwood on the second Saturday of each month at 1 p.m. The first meeting will be held on May 14. Visit the groups Facebook page for more information including updates to meeting times. Call 732-269-3236 if you have any ques-tions about the meetings.

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 un-refined 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 reducing 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 ques-tion. 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 un-derstand 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 rea-son that I say this is that mourning, sadness following a death, are very good healing tools. These are expect-ed after a major loss. If however your mother is having “crying fits” after a year or so, I am a concerned. Lengthy

mourning is not healthy and she may need some help, whether it be reli-gious or psychological. Now to the dog part of your ques-tion. Not knowing her and not be-ing able to ask you more questions makes it difficult 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 person-ally believe that it would be a good idea, this is an example of when I wouldn’t surprise her with an ani-mal. 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 accidental 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 reduced 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 approved for an ordinary disability pension and that per-son also has an injury with permanent residuals

in the course of his or her employment. 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 gen-erally not the result of one traumatic event that deems the worker unable to perform his or her duties, but generally is the result of numerous and varied disabilities that may or may not be work related, or related to the workers’ compen-sation 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’ compensa-tion. 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.

FREEHOLD – The Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County, 310 Mounts Corner Drive, will show the premier of “Gellman American Dream,” a documentary about the Gellman family created by New Jersey film-maker 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-author 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 documentary of his family, from old family movies to newspaper articles. “We recorded interviews with family mem-bers 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 documentary and uncovered our fascinating past.” It is remarkable what Jewish farmers needed to do to survive. Gary Gellman, founder of Gellman Imag-es, has been featured nationally more than 500 times in newspapers, magazines and on radio, over the last twenty-seven years. This includes appearing 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 completed his broad-casting 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 Museum 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].

A stop at Camp Aventura half-way through the tour gives groups the chance to stretch, feed a giraffe, see some smaller animals and shop for souvenirs. May 3, 4, 10, 11, 17 and 18: Academic Adventures: Safari Off-Road Education – Six Flags takes students grades K through 6 on a journey in learning with 1,200 animals from six continents through the 350-acre wildlife preserve lead by experienced tour guides.

This event must be booked in advance and takes place on exclusive education days when the safari is only open for schools/educational groups – theme park is closed to general public. May 12: Business and Marketing Education Day – For years, Six Flags has invited high school and middle school students to learn about business by bringing them inside the marketing of a theme park. Professionals from different industries are invited to speak to students about all levels of marketing. Each year, Six Flags creates a new challenge that asks students to design a business plan for everything from a new concert or sporting event to marketing non-profits. Participating students compete for theme park tickets.

May 14: Cheerfest – Cheerleading and cross-over dance teams can reach for the stars as they compete for trophies and prizes at the 26th Annual Cheerleading and Dance Championship.

Performances start at noon inside Showcase Theater in the Mov-ietown section of the park. All participants will receive a Dancefest ribbon to take home as a souvenir of their day.

May 21: Six Flags Great Adventure will celebrate summer with the 2016 season opening of Six Flags Hurricane Harbor.

The park’s signature water slides include the six-slide Big Wave Racer, the giant Tornado and venomous King Cobra. In 2016, Hurricane Harbor will welcome the addition of the all-new Carib-bean Cove water play area for families. The water playground will include 55 interactive features including water jets, spray nozzles and a dumping bucket. May 26: Six Flags Great Adventure will begin daily operation May 26.

Wolfgang Puck’s kitchen

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.

Fresh Fare: Omelet Recipe Features Farmers’ Market Veggies

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. You 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.
