By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Residents of the Oak Knoll section of town are tired of the birds, noise, and odors coming from the Ocean County Landfill, and they want the landfill owners, government, or both, to do something about it.

–Photos by Jennifer Peacock and Manchester TimesLandfill president Lawrence Hesse addresses residents’ concerns about landfill operations. Oak Knoll residents said the landfill, which has a gate on Route 70, is causing more birds, smell and noise than usual lately.

Residents Raise Stink About Landfill

After receiving an e-mail from an angry resident early in May, Mayor Kenneth Palmer reached out to Lawrence Hesse, president of the Ocean County Landfill Corp. Hesse and his team was at the May 9 meeting to assure resi-dents they took their concerns and

complaints seriously. “I’m here tonight because we heard there were some complaints from the neighbors. We hear you,” Hesse told the skeptical residents. “I have to say, it’s important that we hear from you. …We do every-

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Residents will see a slight municipal tax increase this year. The average homeowner, whose home is valued at $157,700, will see an increase of $6.93 in their municipal taxes, paying a total of $1,031.20. School and county taxes are separate. Administrators decided against taking any excep-tions, keeping the budget within the tax levy cap. Township administrators decided to dip into the township’s surplus to balance it this year, still leaving the town with $2.7 million surplus.

Residents To Pay About $7 More In Annual Taxes

Even with that amount, adminis-trators made the decision to in-crease the tax levy $130,000 rather than use more surplus money. One resident openly complained at the Council’s May 9 meeting, asking why taxes were being raised at all with that amount of surplus. Administrators said they are looking to the future. “It’s an austere budget, it’s a con-servative budget. It does address the township needs at a minimal increase to our taxpayers. It’s very important. We are planning for the future,” Council President

MANCHESTER – Riding in honor of Cpl. Scott R. Thomp-son, members of the Man-chester Township Police De-partment commenced a four day Police Unity Tour bicycle journey to the National Law Enforcement Memor ial in Washington, D.C. following a heartfelt ceremony at the

Municipal Complex recently. Each year, a group of Officers from the Manchester Township Police Department has com-pleted the Unity Tour in honor of Ptl. Robert Tobias, who was struck by a passing motorist and killed while conducting a traffic stop along Route 70

OCEAN COUNTY – The hol-iday was once known as “Dec-oration Day,” a day dedicated to honoring the war dead of WWI, to decorate the graves. Now known as Memorial Day, the national hol-iday is a day of patriotism, spent with ceremonies and parades remembering those servicemen and women who died in conflicts throughout the ages.

MEMORIAL DAY EVENTS TO INCLUDE PARADES, CEREMONIES

This year, many well-attended Memorial Day weekend events return with veterans groups, local officials and more taking the time to remember all who died in service to their country. Here are some of the events. For a complete calendar visit micromediapubs.com.

May 27 Manahawkin – Southern Re-

gional High School will hold its Field of Flags ceremony, with a flag representing each service per-son who died in Iraq and Afghan-istan. As of presstime, the flags numbered 6,848.

thing we can to be a good neighbor. We want to be proactive. If [landfill employ-ees] go through [your neighborhood] and it’s fine but you’re there, and if you notice there is a problem we want you to call us.” Hesse said the landfill employs falconers to scare away the colonies of seagulls scavenging for food, and odor neutraliz-ing agents are used to combat the stench that comes from rotting garbage. The landfill operates using “cells,” a section of the acreage used to dump waste until filled to state-regulated capacity. Once that cell is filled, it’s permanently capped. The cell in use now, cell 8, is close to the Oak Knoll neighborhood, where residents complained that the trees and berms are doing little to protect them from the noise, odor, and birds. Landfill officials expect cell 8 to be capped by the end of this year, if not sooner. Resident Robert Space said the landfill work is now operating right behind his house. He complained about the bird droppings, noise, and blamed the heavy machinery for damage to his property, saying the rumbling has contributed to cracks in his home’s molding. “It’s a mess. The bottom line is, they are in middle of residential area. They are too close,” Space said, saying they operating within 100 yards of his house. “The first seven years, I didn’t have a problem, didn’t even know they were

there. In 2000, there were problems. If you voce a concern, they will come out and work with you to alleviate the con-cern. But the problems keep coming back. We need help.” Most of the residents who voiced com-plaints to Hesse and Council did acknowl-edge that the landfill workers were very responsive to trying to fix problems. But residents said they are tired of making the calls, and don’t want to have to shoulder any of the responsibility to fix problems caused by the landfill’s presence. Some went so far as saying the landfill should move. That’s not a realistic request, Palmer said, but keeping on the landfill to correct those complaints is a top priority. “Obviously we are concerned that things get done. It’s a quality of life issue, and we are going to expect and ask to resolve issues that can be resolved,” Palmer said. “It’s not falling on deaf ears.” Hesse suggested that a landfill/resident committee be created to address the is-sues impacting residents. While several members of the public balked at that idea, saying they don’t have time, by the end of the meeting it was unclear whether that idea would move forward. The Ocean Count Landfill is located on Routes 70 and 571 in Manchester. The township receives about $1 million annually from the landfill as its host community; the actual amount received in 2015 was $873,163.19. Officials expect the facility to operate into the 2030s before filling to capacity.

James Vaccaro told The Manchester Times. “Our Chief Financial Officer, Diane Lapp, doesn’t want to dip into our surplus too much more. She’s looking to protect the town’s future. She’s a very ‘safe harbor’ type of person, and I respect that. I hear what the gentleman was saying about $130,000, but that’s really not the aim of our budget. Our budget is addressing our long-term needs and keeping Manchester affordable.” What are those long-term needs? “We have capital projects now. We’re funding those projects now so we don’t have to go out and bond them. We have a lot of paving to do, in stages. We have a lot of equipment needs. We just bought two new leaf vacuums that will go around to each community. Our emergency apparatus has to be updated and replaced. We just bought one ladder truck now which is quite expen-sive -- $1.5 million—and we have some pumpers that now need to be replaced. So this budget, the capital budget, addresses all these needs and the proper funding is in place to do so.” Lapp said while she may not see this hap-pen during her tenure, she wants to see the municipal debt go down to zero, and “pay as they go along” for capital improvement projects. This year’s budget includes about $400,000 in such improvements. “We were able to take some of that surplus money and use it toward capital improve-ments this year, and looking to pay as you

go,” Lapp said. “It’s conservative, and frankly, I’d like to see us put more money aside. My ultimate goal is to have limited debt, or no debt.” This is Mayor Kenneth Palmer’s second budget, and he too is looking to future needs. “The budget accomplished our first step in long-range planning for the township with regards to our capital needs, such as paving, fire trucks, and our large needs. Certainly we wanted to keep the budget flat, it did go up a tiny bit, but we think in the years to come this will pay off in the end,” Palmer said. The total municipal operating budget for 2016 is $33,124,794.63; the amount to be raised by taxation is $21,246,283.15.The tax rate increased .0015 cents to .6539 per $100,000 of assessed valuation.

pay off in the end.” – Manchester Mayor

The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission is at it again, digging into the motorists’ pockets! The latest move is to send certain vehicles to private inspection owners. Pro-jected cost to these vehicle owners is $40, $50, $60 and up. Why? The supposed answer: long waiting lines at current in-spection stations. The ques-tion of who caused this: was it the DMV shutting down stations across the state? Will the DMV reimburse the drivers? For the short-minded N.J. driver that can’t remember, the annual auto registration fees were increased to cover inspection costs. If the N.J. drivers don’t rebel against this move, we will all be next to feel the across-the-board increase! The solution is simple – fire the DMV, do away with state inspections and only operate license renewals/registrations and driver testing facilities.William McPhailToms River

President Obama has done a great job at many things. Let’s start with the most obvious. Congressional Budget Office predicts upwards of a final total of $20 tril-lion of debt when Obama leaves office. That is more debt run up by Obama then every President before him combined. More Social Welfare pro-

With the 47th annual observance of Earth Day recently, this is a great time to explore more effective ways of slowing climate change and conserving Earth’s natural resources for future generations. A 2010 UN report charged animal agriculture with 19 percent of man-made greenhouse gases – more than all transport – and rec-ommended a global shift to a vegan diet. A subsequent World Watch study placed that contribution closer to 50 percent. Meat and dairy production also dumps more water pollutants than all other human activities combined. It is the driving force in global deforesta-tion and wildlife habitat destruction. Last fall, England’s pres-tigious Chatham House declared that reducing meat consumption is cr it ical to achieving global cli-mate goals. A report from Oxford University found that global adoption of a vegan diet would reduce greenhouse emissions by two thirds. The 2015 U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advi-sory Committee has rec-ommended reduced meat

I recently saw Ocean County Freeholder Jack Kelly. I didn’t see Jack in person, but in a trailer for a Hollywood movie. The movie was called “Freeheld,” and it was about Jack Kelly and other Republican Ocean County Freeholders who opposed giving survivor’s bene-fits to the lesbian partner of dying Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Police Lieutenant Laurel Hester. The drunken antics of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” provided a much more pos-itive portrayal of Ocean County than the homopho-bic behavior of Freeholder Jack Kelly, now memorial-ized in “Freeheld.” Jack Kelly is a true em-barrassment and entirely unfit to serve on the New Jersey State Parole that must review the cases of LGBT inmates, as well as grapple with the effects of bias cr imes in their decisions. Governor Chris Chris-tie must not be thinking st raight in consider ing Kelly. Maybe Jack Kelly could find a new career as a bathroom monitor in North Carolina?Eric HafnerToms River

gram recipients, more legal citizens not paying taxes to fund these programs. The Obamacare mess that has provided more people with the taxpayers’ dollars in the name of universal healthcare. The healthcare provided is a complete sham that is being glorified by the skewed numbers from this administration. The liberal progressive left wing has control of the ur-ban sections in this nation. How is that working out? Violence and murders, pov-erty and welfare, homeless, broken families and decay. That about sums up the urban areas in this nation. President Obama is nothing more than a winner in the “Worst President Contest.” Who would have thought even President Carter would be looked at historically as better then Obama. We have had eight years of government intrusion in our lives. President Obama found more time to play golf and vacation like no other president before. President Obama concerned himself with the personal lives of others more than any other president before. While do-ing so, the more important issues like foreign policy and border security and the economy have greatly suffered. Statistics do not lie. They don’t see sides when prop-erly kept. And finally, yes, we are worse off when it comes to division with-in this nation then before Obama took office. That is truly the fault of the liberal progressive left wanting to

make the personal lives of the citizens a political issue. Government is not the an-swer to all problems. In fact government maybe the root of the problems. We need less government control and more true freedom to be self-reliant as a people. Let’s hope we can clear the Obama mess up in the next administration.Chris ConfortiLakewood

consumption and an en-vironmentally sustainable diet. Just as we replace fossil fuels by wind, solar, and other sustainable energy sources, we must replace animal foods with the more sustainable vegetables, fruits, and grains. Being mindful of this can help us make better choices at the supermarket.Hal TubbsToms River

Third-party energy sup-pliers for private homes, energy aggregation and subsidies for companies producing solar panels are all part of programs pro-moted by the NJ Board of Public Utilities. According to the BPU these steps will ultimately result in lower costs and cleaner air. However the NJ BPU is at the same time approving networks of pipe-line that will increase the supply of natural gas. Nat-ural gas, like coal and crude oil is a fossil fuel that is becoming more costly both financially and environmen-tally. The NJ rate payer will pay the cost of building the pipelines despite protests by many and questions regard-ing the eventual market and who will benefit from this expansion. The BPU has not yet pro-duced a comprehensive plan that identifies the research on which they base their approval and promotion of these activities. The NJ Board of Public Utilities began promoting the use of third-party energy suppliers by municipalities to enable these companies to have a larger market. To reach this goal, elected officials from several mu-

nicipalities need to work together to provide more people and replace the in-dividual approach by the third party energy company. Private individuals, but not the township itself, will automatically be enrolled, with provisions to opt out. By forcing individuals to opt out and promoting the theory of saving money may well produce a passive acceptance on the part of many. Local officials will engage consultants who will determine and select the best supplier. JCP&L will continue to be the conduit to get power to each home; that will not change. The fees for all this will be embedded in the monthly bill from JCP&L and these fees will exist forever. As supplier’s costs increase, so will the fees associated with this plan. It is difficult to understand how all of this can be carried out without some involvement of paid pubic employees but that is not factored in. After the introductory savings to get this started, the additional layers of fees will eventual-ly cost more than if we left this on a private basis. So why is this being done?Elaine BaumeisterManchester

OCEAN COUNTY – The Pinelands are under as-sault by crowds of illegal ATV and quad riders who are tearing up the pris-tine woods, leaving behind mounds of trash and endan-gering first responders who sometimes have to travel to remote areas to treat injuries. Unfortunately, social me-dia has attracted many more riders into areas of the Pine-lands that had previously only been known to small groups of locals. Now, with word spreading

NEW JERSEY – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker applauded the Environmental Protec-tion Agency for allocating $70.41 million to help fi-nance upgrades to New Jersey’s wastewater and drinking water systems that are essential to protecting public health and the en-vironment. The funding comes amid growing con-cern over the presence of high levels of lead discov-ered in the drinking water in several New Jersey public school districts. “I am pleased that the EPA has made this critical in-vestment to help New Jersey communities address their aging water infrastructure

$70.41M To Fund Upgrades To New Jersey’s Water Systemsand make the improvements necessary to protect the public’s health and wellbe-ing,” said Sen. Menendez. “We must give our states and cities the tools they need to fix, upgrade and replace these failing wa-ter systems that threaten the health of our families, our environment and our economy. I will continue to fight for federal resources to ensure our water systems are safe and reliable.” “We already know that dangerous levels of lead are threatening the health and safety of children across our nation. Now is the time to take action,” said Sen. Booker. “As our nation’s infrastructure continues

to crumble, these federal funds couldn’t come at a better time. I was proud to fight for infrastructure funding like this through the federal appropriations process to help finance crit-ical water infrastructure upgrades that will create jobs, spur economic growth and most importantly, pro-tect the health and well-be-ing of our communities in New Jersey and across the nation.” The EPA is allotting $54.59 million from the Clean Wa-ter State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and $15.81 mil-lion from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) programs, both to be administered by the

New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). CWSRF provides low-interest loans to lo-cal governments for water quality protection proj-ects to make improvements to wastewater treatment systems, control pollution from rain water runoff, and protect sensitive water bodies and estuaries. DWS-RF provides low-interest loans to local governments to finance improvements to drinking water systems, with a particular focus on providing funds to small and low-income commu-nities. “Clean drinking water and proper wastewater treat-ment are fundamental to

protecting people’s health, but aging water infrastruc-ture needs to be upgraded and repaired,” said EPA Regional Administrator Ju-dith A. Enck. “This federal funding will help New Jer-sey communities upgrade their drinking water and sewage treatment systems, both of which are imper-ative for healthy commu-nities.” The EPA has awarded $2.4 billion to New Jersey through these programs since 1989. Both are funded annually. In March, Sens. Menen-dez and Booker joined a bipartisan group of senators to press for at least $1.394 billion in funding for the

CWSRF and $863.2 million funding for the DWSRF in FY2017 in a letter to the Chair and Ranking Member of the Senate Interior Ap-propriations Subcommit-tee, Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Tom Udall (D-N.M). Sen. Menendez has also introduced the Sustainable Water Infrastructure Invest-ment Act, cosponsored by Sen. Booker, which would leverage private financing for large-scale water in-frastructure projects like replacing lead pipes. The bill has been included as a key provision in the federal lead and clean water pack-age introduced last month by Senate Democrats.

on Facebook and high-reso-lution satellite images avail-able on every phone, riders from around the state and the Northeast are coming here, and in many cases completely disregarding our laws regarding all-terrain vehicles. Additionally, police have found that many of these vehicles are unregistered and uninsured. Local police and the media have reported that large groups of riders arrive with trailers full of dirt bikes, quads and other ATVs.

These riders are at risk of serious injury and can be difficult to find and treat in the vast expanse of pine forests. The motorized vehicles on Pinelands trails can also pose a forest fire danger to the surrounding woodlands. Police departments from Lacey, Barnegat and Ware-town have already begun a campaign targeting off-road riders on both private prop-erty and conservation tracts. Working together with municipalities, the State Po-lice and the Department of

Environmental Protection, we can control this growing problem. One suggestion might be the immediate confisca-tion of motorized off-road vehicles found on private property and restricted pub-lic land. Confiscation would send a strong message that peo-ple can’t simply travel to Ocean County and have a good time without obeying the law. Last summer also saw a problem with large parties in some sections of the

Pinelands Are Being Assaulted By Illegal ATV RidersPinelands, with partygoers leaving behind huge piles of trash. In one location, we esti-mated that more than 300 young people had gathered one weekend. Having fun is one thing, but large uncont rol led crowds like this threaten the environment and make it difficult for police and other first responders to respond to an emergency at such an event. We are very fortunate that 60 percent of all the land in Ocean County is preserved

open space, unavailable for building. By following the rules and working together, we can ensure that this valuable open space is protected and available for both us, and future generations, to safely enjoy.

OCEAN COUNTY – With the start of the busy summer travel and prom season loom-ing, Ocean County Prose-cutor Joseph D. Coronato announced the continuation of the annual countywide DWI checkpoint program. The program consists of staging numerous check-points throughout Ocean County. The program’s de-sign creates a force multi-plier by regionalizing and supplementing local DWI enforcement. The program

DWI Checkpoint Program Continueswill also conduct DWI en-forcement patrols throughout the county. In making his announcement, Prosecutor Coronato reminded drivers that an extra measure of cau-tion and not operating under the influence can prevent tragedy. Prosecutor Coronato stated, “The tremendous added vol-ume of summer shore traffic and all our area High Schools hosting Senior Proms calls for increased vigilance by law enforcement, and that

will be the focus over the coming months to keep motorists safe. We ask that drivers do their part by driv-ing responsibly and making smart choices behind the wheel every day of the year.” While inattentive and ag-gressive drivers are always targets of law enforcements’ regular patrols, the purpose of these efforts is to detect, educate, deter, arrest and vig-orously prosecute impaired drivers. The program targets those under the influence of

alcohol, but in response to Ocean County’s drug crisis, also utilizes an addition of two Drug Recognition Ex-perts at each check point to detect those under the influ-ence of narcotics. The county also oversees a county wide call out system for DRE’s to respond and assist agencies in conducting evaluations of subjects suspected to be op-erating a motor vehicle under the influence of narcotics. Each year impaired drivers are responsible for about a

third of the deaths occurring on Ocean County roadways. Last year, Ocean County had 38 fatalities on its road-ways. Though the county has moved from second highest in the state for fatalities from a year ago, to now ranking fifth out of the 21 counties, there is no cause for cele-bration. 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 Safety, will be conducted by local police agencies in conjunc-tion with detectives from the Prosecutor’s Office and Sheriff’s Department K-9 Unit focusing on both in-toxicated and drug impaired drivers. The program is coordinated by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Vehic-ular Homicide Unit under the direction of Supervising Assistant Prosecutor Mi-chael Weatherstone.

MANCHESTER – Manchester Township Middle School teacher Maura Simister pre-sented a paper about STEM education and motivation at the IEEE Integrated STEM Conference held at Princeton University. Si-mister’s paper was titled “Motivating Students through Providing a Middle School STEM Rotation Class.” Simister was instrumental in developing her school’s STEM rotation program and in obtaining an OceanFirst Model Classroom grant to fund a fully equipped STEM classroom. “Today, STEM is taught, perceived and practiced in many different ways. There is a need to design embedded curriculum that represents all of the disciplines of STEM,” read the abstract describing her paper. “A classroom’s social climate, the students’ own expectations of their performance and the value that the student places on his education are the main issues that deter motivation in students...In this paper, I will share how the results of a climate survey can empower me to regulate my learning activities and styles to provide my students with a STEM envi-ronment that is favorable to engagement and motivation.” The IEEE Integrated STEM Conference is known for presenting cutting-edge research and experiences with integrated approaches to the study of science, math and technology.

By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – The star power of Jon Bon Jovi and the people-power of vol-unteer efforts came together again to help with hunger and food insecurity issues of local residents. The ribbon-cutting on the BEAT Center, in Silverton, hopes to address 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 it’s 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 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

–Photo courtesy Toms River Twp.Local officials and the charity’s organizers cut the ribbon on the BEAT Center in Toms River, which houses the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Kitchen restaurant, the People’s Pantry and more.

BON JOVI HELPS OPEN CHARITY IN OCEAN COUNTYand homelessness,” Bon Jovi said. “We’ve 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 People’s 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 People’s 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 it’s 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 People’s 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 society…That’s 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 finan-cial 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. It’s a beautiful place, the meals are well done, and there is a dignity in that and that’s what we have to do,” MacArthur

What Does Your Insurance Company Offer For Your Hearing?

Understanding your insurance benefits can be confusing and time consuming. What’s more, many insurance companies and benefit programs reduce or eliminate your choices the moment they’ve activated your referral to a hearing care provider – a provider that they often select for you. In some circumstances, Medicare does offer limited coverage for the cost of hearing aids, but only if the hearing loss is relat-ed to an injury or a disease. Audiologic (hearing) testing are typically covered by Medicare, but only if the exam is recom-mended by your doctor. This means you must have a written “script” requesting the necessity for the hearing care services. Do you have a hearing aid benefit? Do you fully understand it? Do you understand what your insurance policy’s “discount program” really means, and what services are or aren’t covered? You deserve to retain control over your hearing health care- in your choice of provider, your hearing technology, and your program of follow-up care. There are some insurance programs that want you to fax a copy of your hearing test to them. Then, they will pick out a hearing aid for you (based

on a very limited selection) and send the hearing instrument to you via mail. Who is qualified to program your hearing aid? Who will instruct you on the proper care and maintenance of the hearing aid? Who will do routine follow-up care? If you have a hearing benefit as part of your insurance plan, we recommend that you - contact us BEFORE you contact your insurance company! Our experts can help you take full advantage of your hearing insurance benefits to help you hear your best. Garden State Hearing & Balance Center will be happy to assist you in de-termining your benefit and will directly bill you insurance company for payment. We participate with most insurance carriers and benefit programs. We are committed to working directly with you and your insurance company to determine how you are covered, and to make sure that you are getting the most out of your current benefits. Dr. Izzy is always here to provide answers to important hearing care issues. He has offices in Toms River, Manahawkin, and Whiting, and can be reached at 732-818-3610 or visit gardenstatehearing.com.

Cooking Oils Are Not All Good For You

Do you whip up delicious meals without measuring a single thing? The oil you use in your kitchen can make or break your dish. Did you know that some oils are harmful? Did you know that f r ied chicken or French fries often use “hydrogenated” oils, which increase your risk of diabetes, heart attack, obesity and cancer? Some “partially hydrogenated” oils are even de-rived from soybean oil, discussed below. What’s in your kitchen? Good oils that are high in Monounsat-urated fats: Olive oil – Excellent source of antiox-idants, polyphenols and essential fatty acids. It supports cardiovascular health and blood pressure. Coconut oil – I’m referring to the un-heated, unref ined, virgin coconut oil, which is healthy raw, or baked; don’t use super high heat. Please avoid “hydroge-nated coconut oil,” this is man-made and contains trans fats. Almond – A source of natural vitamin E, it has even less saturated fat than olive oil. Almond contains monounsaturated fat (like olive oil). Almond oil goes rancid easily, so store it in a dark cabinet. Good oils that are High in Omega 3 fatty acids: Hemp – This unrefined oil has a good amount of Gamma Linolenic acid (GLA), which is considered a healthy omega 6 that may relieve PMS and skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Flax – A fragile oil that shouldn’t be heated. It’s good to make salad dress-ings with. Refrigerate the oil. Too much may be goit rogenic (suppress iodine absorption) so avoid consuming high

dose supplements for extended periods of time. A little oil on your salad should be fine though. Tea seed – This is one of my favorite oils because you can use it at high tempera-tures, the f lavor is mild and it contains antioxidants like vitamin E. It has both omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Do not confuse tea seed oil with the essential oil of “tea tree,” which cannot be ingested. Bad oils that are high in Saturated fats or Trans Fats: Canola or Rapeseed – Some of you think this is a “healthy” oil because it’s very low in saturated fat and like olive oil, it’s high in monounsaturated fat. However, hexane is used as a chemical solvent to extract canola oil from the seeds, and pesticides are sometimes used. Bleaching too. It’s used for baking or stir-fry. Margarine – This is a man-made chemi-cal, do I need to say anything else? Bad oils that are high in Omega 6, which can increase inf lammation: Corn – It’s hard to f ind a non GMO version of this, unless it specifically says “organic” and plus, it may be bleached. Corn oil increases “oxidized” or bad cholesterol. Cooks (not me) recommend it for high heat. Soybean – This is another oil that’s heav-ily refined and often genetically modified (GMO). Soy plants are somewhat toxic to humans, you didn’t know? Soybean oil, milk and tofu contain a lectin called PHG, short for phytohemagglutinin. PHG may interfere with digestion, affect memory and make your blood cells stick together (like clot). People use soybean oil for stir-fry because of the high smoke point. Read your supplement bottles, soybean oil is used in many dietary supplements.

OCEAN COUNTY – Local officials are warning the abundance of rain could lead to standing water, and the potential for mos-quitos. “It’s taken awhile, but thank goodness the sun finally came out. With the amount of rain we had the past few weeks, even with the sun shining, it is going to take quite a while to dry up all of the water left behind,” said Ocean

Time To Get Rid Of Standing WaterCounty Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “Now is the time to get outside, look around and get rid of any standing water,” Little added. Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health (OCHD) public health coordinator, said, “With concerns of Zika, we have the opportunity right now to be proactive and do something

to protect ourselves and our property against mosquitoes. We are still steps ahead of Zika, which we really don’t know if it will or will not affect us. Public Health always hopes for the best, but will take as many steps as possible to prepare for the worst, such as if Zika could be transmitted here in New Jersey. Now is the time to clean up water from your property. Make sure you clear water out of your gutters

and check all of your outside furniture for pockets of water. Check all of your screens for any holes and look to see if there are any gaps where your door closes that could allow mosquitoes to come inside the house.” Regenye added, “The Health Department is in constant touch with the New Jersey Depart-ment of Health and continues to participate in conference calls with the State and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Our website at ochd.org is linked directly with the CDC for updates on Zika and there is also updated information on how to protect your-self and your property from mosquitoes and updated information on mosquito repellents, which are certainly recommended for people being outside. We also need to remember that there are other mosquito-borne illnesses that are still in our environment, such as West Nile Virus. We cannot stress enough to protect yourselves and your property from mosquitoes.” Continue to visit the Ocean County Health Department’s website at ochd.org or fol-low the Health Department on Twitter@OCpublichealth.

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.

OCEAN COUNTY – Do you love to read, but have physical limitations that prevent you from getting to the library?

LONG BEACH ISLAND – Local artist and coloring book illustrator Bill Clanton has created “Colorful Coast: Long Beach Island Edition,” a coloring book for grown-ups that in-corporates some images and themes from the Long Beach Island region. At its core, “Colorful Coast” cap-tures the excitement of a day at the beach and puts it on the pages to be colored. Color fun mosaics and man-dalas as well as sketched art, abstract nautical images and underwater sea life. Bill Clanton found inspiration from great landmarks like the Bar-negat Light House, local wildlife, the shoreline and more. “Colorful Coast: Long Beach Island Edition” can be found online through billclantonbooks.com, Amazon and locally at five LBI shops and bou-tiques. In Beach Haven at Beached in Bay Village, Ship Bottom at the Beach Barn, in Surf City at the Good Life Boutique, Surf City at Bookworm and in Barnegat Light at East Coast Consignment.

Educating Our CommunityOn Nursing Home Abuse

People put their elderly parent or grandparent in a nursing home so that they can be safely taken care of, so that someone can properly look after them in their old age. No one expects that these nursing home residents should get anything less than the proper care and respect that they deserve, but with the horrifying r ise in nursing care abuse, this is not always the case. According to the National Center on Elder Abuse in the United States, more than 30 percent of a l l nu r sing homes i n America indulge in some form of resident abuse. Statistics show that nearly 50 per-cent of all nursing homes are short staffed. The staff people who do work in these facilities are under-paid, overworked and all too often overburdened, which in turn leads to elder neglect and abuse. Even more alarming is the pre-diction that the problem will only worsen in the near future. More than 91 percent of nursing homes lack adequate staff to properly care for pa-tients. A Health and Human Services Department report found patients in understaffed nursing homes were more likely to suffer from a variety of problems, such as bed sores, mal-nutrition, weight loss, dehydration, pneumonia and serious blood born infections. It’s a serious concern that will only increase with time, given that the population of people aged 85

or older is expected to double to 8.9 million by the year 2030. Signs of abuse and neglect may be (but are not limited to) evidence such as patterns of bruising, unex-plained injuries, frequent infections, bedsores, questionable hygiene, ap-pearance of malnutrition, emotional distress and unsanitary living condi-tions. Document any such evidence you obser ve, and br ing it to the attention of your attorney. Neglect can be just as harmful in the long run as abuse, leading to additional health problems and possibly death. Nursing home abuse isn’t l imited to physical abuse; there can also be emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse, where an elder is demeaned or humiliated in other ways. Many elder s need lessly suf fe r from nursing home abuse in which they are manipulated, humiliated or physically harmed by the very people entrusted with providing them with loving and tender care. Instances of physical, sexual and verbal abuse have taken place at the very nursing homes where elders a re act ual ly supposed to be well taken care of; unfortunately, cases of nursing home abuse in America and also in New Jersey are rising rather than falling. If you think a loved one is the victim of Nursing Home Abuse call the tr ial at torneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a f ree consultation to discuss their r ights.

OCEAN COUNTY – Operators have restored the Oyster Creek Generating Station to full power, following a planned maintenance outage designed to en-hance system reliability and efficiency in advance of the peak summer season. During the outage, technicians re-paired and tested several pumps and seals that control water f low and per-formed maintenance on a control rod

in 1975. In addit ion to Ptl. Tobias, whose family was in attendance, this year’s 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 for-get that it is a privilege 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 ul-timate sacrifice for their communities. The approximately 600 riders from Chapter 10 of the Unity Tour began their r ide in Hamilton Township, making several ceremonial stops as they made their way to Manchester Township at about 5:30 p.m. The Manchester and Ridgeway Fi re Companies proudly displayed the American Flag at the Municipal Complex entrance as riders entered the driveway.

After breaking for the night, Unity Tour riders will continued their journey, arriving at the National Law Enforce-ment Officers Memorial on May 12. The 26th Annual Candlelight Vigil honoring fallen law enforcement officers at the Memorial was held at the National Mall on May 13. Founded in 1997, the Police Unity Tour, whose motto is, “We Ride for Those Who Died,” has raised awareness and millions of dollars in funding for the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial and Museum. Manchester Township Police Off icers have been participating for the past 11 years. They ride in honor of all fallen officers, but especially Ptl. Robert Tobias and Cpl. Scott R. Thompson. The riders representing the Manches-ter Township Police Department this year are Sgt. Michael Leming, Dsg. Christopher Hemhauser, Cpl. Douglas Higgins, Ptl. Michael Anderson, Ptl. Michael Lynch, Ptl. Shawn Cavalcante, Ptl. Thomas Chant, Ptl. Brian Collins, Ptl. Arthur Cronk, Ptl. Anthony Iliadis, and Ptl. Kyle Rickvalsky. They will be joined by Mrs. Thompson and John Tobias, a Point Pleasant Beach Borough Patrolman who is the brother of Ptl. Robert Tobias.

Many of these ac-tivities could not be performed while the unit was generat ing elect r icity. “The community relies on Oyster Creek’s electricity, particularly during the peak summer months,” said Site Vice President Garey L. Stathes. “The work completed during this outage will help us operate at peak efficiency while meeting that demand.”

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566. “Home health care with feeling. Joel Markel is President of Preferred Home Health Care and Nurs-ing services inc. serving all of New Jersey in adult, senior and pediatric home health care.”

Dear Joel, I am fuming. My boyfriend and I needed a car for quite some time now. I agreed to save up and pay for half. He called me to tell me that he had the “per-fect car.” He described it, and I agreed to buy it on the phone. What he failed to tell me is that it was a stick shift. I don’t know how to drive a standard transmission, and now have this car that only he can drive!Answer Well, it does sound as if your boyfriend is a manipulative type. That being said, you did allow for this to happen by let-ting him “take the wheel” and not going to see the car. Two choices as I see it. If

it’s still pos-sible to get a refund, do it. If not, learning to drive a stick will take you about a day or two. Many driving schools have an instructor that works with standard transmissions. It takes some effort but is actually worth knowing. Should you ever travel inter-nationally, you can rent a car virtually anywhere in the world. Gas prices are up, and you’ll save some gallons over the year. Be safe.Questions for Joel?

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean Health Ini-tiatives (OHI), a federally qualified health center with locations in Ocean County, has been named an eligible provider in The Veterans Choice program. The Vet-erans Choice program provides eligible veterans with the option to receive non-VA health care services from approved community health care providers, such as OHI, in their communities.

Some qualifying situations for veterans include waiting more than 30 days for VA medical care, or having to travel 40 miles or more to a VA medical facility, among

others. Veterans can call 866-606-8198 to find out if they qualify or visit va.gov/opa/choiceact and schedule an appoint-ment at OHI. Those veterans who do qualify should use their Veterans Choice Card, which will allow them to request OHI as their commu-nity-based primary health care provider. The Ocean County Veterans Service Bu-reau, located on the first floor of the Ocean County One-Stop Center, 1027 Hooper Ave., Toms River, can provide additional assistance to veterans about obtaining and using their Veterans Choice Card. For more information about OHI, contact Kimberly Tozzi, community relations coordinator, at 732-719-9016.

Professional Profile

By Joyce Blay Toms River radiation oncology specialist Dr. Bryan Eggert is not running for public office, but that hasn’t stopped him from advocating for his patients’ rights to government services. “I fight for my patients to get what they de-serve,” he tells a visitor to his office. “I advocate for treatment and medi-cal coverage.”

Dr. Eggert is an affiliate physician of Garden State Medical Center, a unique multi-special-ty, out-patient medical facility serving the tri-state area. He also fights for the health and well-being of patients engaged in a personal battle with an implacable foe - cancer. For this staunch med-ical warrior, there is no retreat and no quarter given. “The general outlook for a cancer diagnosis is quite ominous,” Dr. Eggert says. “I think people need to under-stand and overcome that psychological bar-rier. A diagnosis of can-cer is no longer the end of the world.” Many of Dr. Eggert’s patients are diagnosed with breast cancer. The Westfield, NJ native views their lives and their self-esteem his personal responsibility to rescue. “Isn’t empathy a doc-tor’s personal responsi-bility?” he asks rhetor-ically. “I provide emo-tional support, empathy, counseling. A patient diagnosed with cancer that comes here for ra-diological treatment will get all those soft things

from me.” In addition to his pro-fessional responsibil-ities, Dr. Eggert also may arrange for deliv-ery of social services, such as Meals On Wheels, or service calls from the Visiting Nurse Association. “I’d like to think I pick up on little things in order to treat the whole person,” he says. Accomplishing those

little things is no small task. Ac-cording to Dr. Eggert,

they involve making nu-merous calls and filing the proper paperwork with the correct govern-ment agency. “A lot of government bureaucrats will say, ‘Let the daughter take care of it’,” Dr. Eggert says. “But a lot of times, that’s overwhelming for family members.” But not for Dr. Eggert and his staff. The Renaissance phy-sician prepared for a distinguished academic career by combining a rigorous medical ed-ucation with a broad interest in liberal arts. Dr. Eggert is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of George Washing-ton University in Wash-ington, D.C., where he majored in Chemistry, but also excelled in Phi-losophy and English. In 1983, Dr. Eggert re-ceived his medical de-gree from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO. “That was a very in-tensive program,” he says of his medical ed-ucation. Dr. Eggert completed his medical internship and residency at Baylor University College of Medicine. He also com-

pleted a residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine’s Depart-ment of Radiation On-cology, where he held the esteemed position of Chief Resident. Following a career path that took him far from his New Jersey roots, Dr. Eggert has come full circle and re-turned to the state of his birth to open an office in Toms River. He couldn’t be happier. “I’ve been all over the country and the general quality of this area is excellent,” Dr. Eggert maintains. “The job was here and I liked the area. It worked out quite well.” Five days a week, Dr. Eggert wages a nev-er-ending public battle to cut through govern-ment red tape. He also wages a never-end-ing personal battle to stay on top of an ev-er-changing specialty of medicine.

The office, located at 512 Lakehurst Road, Toms River, NJ 08755, is open Monday-Friday, from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. The office is closed on Saturday and Sunday.

“This field is evolving so quickly because it’s so highly technological-ly oriented,” Dr. Eggert says. That hasn’t deterred the stalwart physician from continuing to fight the good fight on behalf of his patients, to whom he offers this advice following a diagnosis of cancer. “Take a deep breath,” Dr. Eggert says. “We always fear the worst if we don’t know more about it.” When asked what he would tell New Jersey Governor Chris Christie if he had the ear of the state’s top bureaucrat, Dr. Eggert laughs. “What wouldn’t I tell him?” Dr. Eggert says in response. For further information, visit the Garden State Medical Center Web site at gsmedicalcenter.org. To schedule an appointment with Dr.

Eggert, call Garden State Radiation Oncol-ogy at 732-440-1808. The office, located at 512 Lakehurst Road,

Toms River, NJ 08755, is open Monday-Friday, from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. The office is closed on Sat-urday and Sunday.

Wolfgang Puck’s kitchen

By Wolfgang Puck When people hear the term “con-venience food,” all too often their minds turn to something you prob-ably shouldn’t be eat ing but have to because of limited time. It could be frozen or canned food; or may-be something picked up f rom the prepared foods section of your su-permarket, like a whole rotisser ie chicken or some sor t of soup that has been kept hot for hours in a big vat. Or maybe it’s take-out burgers or other fast food. But I define convenience food in a different way. It’s simply a recipe that begins with just a few readily available store-bought ingredients, including fresh produce. Then, the dish is put together in minutes with a minimum of fuss and few utensils. Finally, my ideal convenience food is cooked from start to f inish in the same pan from which you serve it. Do you find such a description too diff icult to imagine? Then allow me to present one of my favorite easy recipes - Baked Cod Fillets with a Parmesan-Panko Crust - and explain how it meets all those requirements for convenience. First, the recipe calls for only a handful of common ingredients you’ll actually need to shop for, plus a few staples you will very likely already have in your pantry or refrigerator. The coarse, Japanese-style bread-crumbs called panko are now com-monly found among other packaged breadcrumbs in well-stocked markets or in the Asian foods section. And you can substitute for the codf ish any other mild-f lavored, thick f ish f illets that you like and find readily available. Next, by my conservative estimate, you’ll probably need 10 to 15 minutes to assemble the dish, during which you’ll also be preheating your oven to its hottest temperature. And that assembly all takes place in an ov-enproof nonreactive skillet that you can even carry straight from the oven to your dining table, taking care, of course, to protect your hands with oven gloves or pads and your table with good heatproof trivets. Consider the fact that the entire prep and cooking of the dish also allows the perfect amount of time to cook steamed rice or another grain dish, begun just before you start getting the f ish ready. That will provide the ideal accompaniment to soak up all the delicious sauce that forms around the f illets during cooking. I know many people who, once

they’ve cooked and tasted this dish for the f irst time, put the recipe into their regular rotation, making it not only for family meals but also for ca-sual dinner parties. Now, that’s what I call convenient. BAKED COD FILLETS WITH A

PARMESAN-PANKO CRUST Serves 2 to 4

1 cup (250 mL) freshly grated Par-mesan cheese, about 3 ounces (185 g)1 cup (250 mL) panko or other coarse dry breadcrumbs1/3 cup (85 mL) mixed chopped fresh herbs such as Italian parsley, chives, tar ragon, thyme and chervil, plus extra for garnish1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pep-per f lakes Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter 4 skinless cod f illets, each 4 to 6 ounces (125 to 185 g) and at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick1/4 red onion, chopped1/2 cup (125 mL) dry white wine 1 lemon, cut in half, plus extra slices for garnish Place an oven rack in the highest position. Preheat the oven to 500 F (260 C). On a small baking sheet, stir together the Parmesan, panko, 1/3 cup (85 mL) of the herbs, red pepper f lakes, salt and pepper to taste. Melt 6 tablespoons of the but ter in a heavy ovenproof nonreact ive skillet large enough to hold the cod. Season the cod with salt and pepper. Dip 1 side of a f illet into the butter, then press into the crumbs. Return it crumb side up to the skillet. Repeat the process with the remain-ing cod and crumb mixture. Spoon melted butter over the crumbs and dot with the remaining unmelted butter. Scat ter the onion around the f ish. Pour the wine in between the f ish f illets, taking care not to disturb the crumbs. Squeeze in a lemon half. Set the skillet over high heat and bring the wine to a simmer. Put the skillet in the oven. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the f ish is cooked through, about 10 minutes. To test for doneness, use a dull skewer: Inser ted into the thickest par t of a f illet, it should meet no resistance. Squeeze the remaining lemon half over and around the f ish. Place the skillet over high heat to br ing the juices back to a simmer. Garnish with lemon slices and the rest of the fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
