By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – The nearly four hours of testimony at the Planning Board’s January 11 meeting went until almost midnight amid reprimands, interruptions and yielded time caps, as residents concerned about Great Adventure’s proposed solar array facility off Reed Road again came out awaiting their chance to be heard. After hearing both the applicant’s testimo-ny, and the environmental groups’ experts opposed to it, residents may finally have a chance to speak at the Planning Board’s February 1 meeting. The attorney representing various environ-mental groups, Michele Donato, questioned three more of her witnesses who blasted Great Adventure’s experts’ reports, calling them contradictory to one another and filled with erroneous information.

Both Ocean and Monmouth Counties have seen an increase in whooping cough (pertussis) this year. In the United States, we see

between 10,000 and 50,000 cases a year. Since 2010, about 10 to 20 babies die from whooping cough each year.

IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR PREGNANT WOMEN TO GET THEIR TDAP VACCINATION DURING THEIR THIRD TRIMESTER DURING EVERY PREGNANCY

TO PASS ON PROTECTIVE ANTIBODIES TO THE BABY.

Any adult, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, siblings, caregivers, ANYBODY coming near the baby, should be vaccinated one time against whooping cough PRIOR (at least two weeks) before visiting the baby to help protect the baby from whooping cough. Most babies

get whooping cough from someone in the household who may not know they have whooping cough.

ANY OTHER VACCINES NEEDED? PREGNANT WOMEN, AND ANYBODY WHO WILL BE NEAR THE BABY NEEDS TO BE VACCINATED AGAINST THE FLU. BABIES

CANNOT RECEIVE THEIR FLU SHOT UNTIL 6 MONTHS OF AGE.

The Ocean County Health Department offers Tdap to anyone over the age of 19, including pregnant women (with a note from their medical care provider) and holds clinics at the Ocean County Health Department main site at 175 Sunset Avenue, Toms River. The clinics are held the first and third

Tuesday of each month from 1-4PM and no appointment is needed.

Both Yoskin and attorney Raymond Shea have maintained that Great Adventure won’t install solar canopies in its main park-ing lots. They said GA would not only lose

parking spaces—the lot is filled to capacity during its peak season—but the ability to host numerous events in the lots. GA has agreed to construct some solar arrays in its employee parking lot, and clear approximately 70 rather than 90-plus acres on its property along Reed Road. The solar facility will generate about 98 percent of GA’s energy needs, Matthew Kamine of KDC Solar told The Jackson Times. Residents along that road and neighboring communities have formed the Jackson Cit-

izens Coalition to distribute information via web presence to fight the solar facility construction. About a dozen persons raised hands when Board chairman Robert Hudak asked who planned to comment on the application after Donato and her team were done with their witnesses. Most of them will be back February 1, the fifth meeting they will sit through to get their voices heard. The attorney filling in for Greg McGuckin told residents to only offer new testimo-

ny—if an issue has been raised, it’s on the record and does not need to be stated again. Residents must be prepared to have at last four hard copies of anything they want to enter into evidence, understanding that the evidence may not be admitted. He meant no offense, he said, but the testimony of experts is weightier than their layman’s testimony. Testimony will resume at 7:30 p.m. Feb-ruary 1 at the Jackson Municipal Building, 95 W.

develop their socialization skills, and will enhance their chances of being suc-cessfully introduced to their own species at the safari when they are a bit older,” Keiffer said. The cats play, eat and snuggle together, and are also learning to find their voices and personalities. According to Keiffer, the lion cub is much more relaxed, while

the tiger cub is far more dominant and vocal. Siberian tigers are on the endangered species list, and tigers rank as the world’s largest living cats. Approximately 3,200 are estimated to live in the wild. The new cub is the fifth Siberian tiger at the safari. African lions are the second largest living cat in the world, number less than 19,000

in the wild and are now being protected under the endangered species act, said safari Director and Chief Veterinarian Bill Rives. Several healthy African lion cubs have been born in the Six Flags sa-fari during the last few years, and the new cub is the 20th lion at the safari.

System. The annual stipend for the free-holder seat is $30,000. If a second vacancy is created by Kelly’s resignation, only a quorum will remain on the freeholder board. The county committee meeting only an-nounces it seeks to fill the Lacey vacancy.

All party members are welcome to attend, but only existing county committee mem-bers are eligible to vote. There will be no voting by proxy if you cannot attend. The process is similar to the annual nominat ing convent ion held by the county council. GOP County Chairman

George Gilmore called the meeting, which by law must be held within 35 days of a vacancy. County committee members should RSVP before January 25 by emailing [email protected] or call-ing GOP headquarters at 732-244-5400.

Do you have something you want everyone to know? Is there an issue that needs to be addressed? Write a letter to The

Jackson Times and make yourself heard.

We all need to be con-cerned about the quality of nursing home care. Just about everyone has a loved one who eventually will need nursing home care, or will need it themselves. And the record indicates that care in New Jersey nursing homes can bene-fit from greater oversight. For example, an AARP survey shows that New Jersey ranks 49 out of 50 states in preventing bed-sores in nursing homes. Governor Christie is consid-ering whether to sign a bill raising minimum staffing requirements for certified nursing assistants in New Jersey nursing homes. AARP urges our gover-nor to sign this bill so that we and our loved ones are protected from inadequate levels of care. As the data on preventing bedsores show, inadequate care can cause real suffering to nursing home residents.Dave MollenAARP New Jersey State President

Bill Could Improve Nursing

Home Care

My name is Joseph Rudy Rullo, and I want to be the next governor of New Jersey. I am a Republican from Ocean County, and entrepreneur who has never held elected office. Many know me as one of the hard-est working Republicans in the area, and I am the right

person to remedy the woes that are plaguing the state of New Jersey. I haven’t been a rank-and-file, good old boy network Republican and have actu-ally come out against cor-ruption like with the Toms River superintendent Mi-chael Ritacco scandal. We are number one in property taxes, in people leaving the state. We are number one cost for road projects and bridges, and we are one of the most corrupt political systems in the country. How can New Jersey fail and keep the broken system for so many years? Fixing these issues for the future of New Jersey is one reason I decided to run for office. I got involved because it really upsets me that a lot of my friends and family, business associates and classmates from school are leaving New Jersey because they have lost their quality of life. People can’t afford to live in New Jersey. What needs to be fixed in this state is the amount needlessly spent on school administrations. The num-ber of super intendents needs to be reduced dras-tically. Instead of having one superintendent per school district, we need to cut the number to one per county. By consolidating superintendents, we can save $50 million per year. We can buy books, we can have more teachers, we can lower property taxes. I would work to also elimi-nate municipal tax assessors the same. Another import-ant thing to eliminate is

high-salary patronage jobs like Port Authority’s David Wildstein as an example. In addition, I will reform pen-sions, reform the Veterans Affairs healthcare system in the state, eliminate state income taxes on pensions for seniors and all veterans in New Jersey, and support Senator Mike Doherty’s fair school funding formula. I have the issues right. The politicians that are running against me aren’t going to be able to support the issues because either they’re in or because of conf licts like contributors to their cam-paign. My proposed cuts and reforms for New Jersey will be my first priority to fix our broken system. Joseph Rudy RulloOcean County

Regarding the Zadroga Health and Compensation Act, this is not the funding bill I would have written. Far from it. But it represents the compromises it takes to avert another government shutdown and keep the government working for the American people. I’m very pleased that our 9/11 first responders will finally have the peace of mind they deserve now that we permanently extended our Zadroga Health and Compensation Act. There is also critical funding in this budget agreement to help ensure our first respond-ers are properly equipped, staffed and ready to answer the call when emergencies strike. The final package impor-tantly includes many of my priorities to support middle class and working families, grow our economy, create jobs and invest in our infra-structure, communities and businesses. It will put real money back in the pockets of transit riders in the face of rising fares, give a lifeline to struggling homeowners strapped with debt and en-sure women have access to quality health services. It also provides tax certainty

for middle class families and makes permanent im-provements to the earned income and child tax credits that together help lift work-ing families out of poverty. While I have championed many of the provisions in-cluded in this budget– and offered common sense ways to ensure they are paid for– I do not believe they had to come at the price of permanently repealing the oil export ban. And just as we are pushing the SEC to move forward with my rule requiring public companies to disclose their political spending to shareholders, Republicans have allowed dark-money to fu r ther threaten our democracy. We must fix this. At the end of the day, I consider a budget to be a reflection of our values, and I’m going to continue to fight to build upon the great successes in this agreement, and against any efforts that are harmful to New Jersey, our nation and our future.Bob MenendezU.S. Senator

I am writing in response to Manchester’s Township Councilman, Mr. Charles Frattini’s letter, which ap-peared in the Times on December 19, 2015. In his letter, he seems hell-bent on linking the terror attacks in the West with strikes in Israel, and the need for us to buddy up with them. He like so many other people seems to want us to adapt a strategy which undoubtedly will mean that we will be mired down in endless war. Rarely if ever does the sim-ple question get asked: Why are these people so enraged? Is there any reason? Like most people, politicians in particular, Mr. Frattini ignores the despair, and the root causes of the anger that is so prevalent in much of the Middle East. The implication is clear: We are innocent and they are not; hence we must give Israel

Nearly 50 years after the U.S.S. Pueblo was blatantly attacked and seized by North Ko-rea, this storied Unit-ed States Navy vessel remains in the hands of one of the most oppressive regimes on the planet. Following the unpro-voked deadly attack in international waters on January 23, 1968 that left a crew mem-ber dead, the ship was towed to North Korea and its 82 surviving sailors imprisoned and tortured for nearly a year. While the Pueblo r e m a i n s a n a c t ive commissioned war-ship in the Navy, the proud vessel is fa r from friendly waters. The Pueblo serves as

a tourist attraction in the North Korean cap-ital. It’s time for that to change. It’s t ime to br ing the Pueblo home. In honor of her crew, I’m again calling on all of our Congressio-nal representatives to pledge that they will make every effort to return the U.S.S. Pueb-lo to the United States. This humiliation has gone on long enough. Washington needs to remind North Korea that the Pueblo has not been forgotten.

Dancer Bill Allows Marriages, Civil Unions Via Electronics For Military Personnel

Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer

Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer Capitol Comments 12th Legislative District, Serving Jackson

NEW JERSEY – Taking a “walk down the aisle” could be replaced by a webcam wedding for military person-nel serving overseas under

legislation Assemblyman Ron Dancer sponsors. The bill (A-4822) allows per-sons serving in the military overseas to be married or

enter into a civil union by video conference or other electronic means. “The uncertainty surround-ing a deployment can be very

stressful for both partners. Ensuring that an intended spouse or life partner has access to a soldier’s ben-efits will give them both peace of mind,” said Danc-er, R-Ocean, Burlington, Middlesex and Monmouth. “During WWII, many cou-ples married just before deployment for that very reason. The men going off to war wanted to make sure their loved ones would be taken care of if they didn’t return. “Today many couples have weddings or civil unions planned and then the mil-itary calls and you have to

leave. Your duty comes first as far as the government is concerned,” he continued. “This legislation allows both partners to fully participate and have the ceremony re-corded for the rest of their lives.” Current law allows proxy marriages for members of the U.S. armed forces and National Guard who are sta-tioned overseas and serving in a conflict or war. It per-mits couples to marry if the overseas partner signs over power of attorney, allowing another individual to stand in for him or her. Dancer’s bill applies to both

the marriage license appli-cation process as well as the officiating of the marriage itself. The measure enhances existing proxy marriages for members of the U.S. armed forces and National Guard who are stationed overseas and serving in a conflict or war. It authorizes soldiers to participate in the license application process and ceremony by telephone, video conference, Skype or other internet services by webcam.

NEW JERSEY – Legis-lation authored by Sen-ator Rober t Singer and Senate President Steve Sweeney that would up-grade current law to bet-te r protect those with developmental disabil-i t ie s f rom b e i ng v ic -t imized by the acts of others that are dangerous a nd potent ia l ly dea d-ly was signed into law by Gover nor Ch r is t ie. The bill, S-2940/A-4531, bet ter def ines reckless endangerment laws and i nc rea se s pu n i sh ment and penalties for putting others at r isk, with the st rongest penalt ies for those whose victims have cognitive impairments. “Today’s bill signing is a major step forward i n s t reng then i ng New Jersey laws to better pro-tect those with develop-mental disabilities from being taken advantage of or being coerced into

Capitol Comments Senator Robert W. Singer • Senate President Steve Sweeney30th Legislative District, Serving Jackson & Howell

Bill To Protect Developmentally Disabled From Dangerous Acts Signed Into Law

doi ng somet h i ng t ha t could harm themselves,” said Singer. “What hap-pened to Parker Drake was deeply troubling and could have ended tragi-cally. I commend Parker and his mother for having the courage to stand up and tell his story. These added protections should send a clear message that this type of bullying and dangerous acts against those with developmen-tal disabilities won’t be tolerated in New Jersey and that those who do so will be held account-able.” “This bill will update cu r r e n t l aw t o b e t t e r protect those with de-velopmental disabilities f rom being vict imized by thoughtless and even malicious acts of cruel-ty,” said Senator Swee-ney. “These are poten-tially dangerous actions against those with vul-

nerabilities that can’t be tolerated or ignored. This should send a message that wi l l help prevent act s of cr uel ind if fer-ence.” The need for the new law was h ighl ighted by an incident in Manasquan, where a 19-year-old au-tistic man with diabetes was coerced into jump-ing into the frigid waters of the Atlantic Ocean in February in exchange for $20 and two packs of cig-arettes. The two men who enticed the victim video-taped the encounter and posted it to social media. T he v ic t i m s u r v ive d , but h is insul in device froze and he was put at risk of hypothermia and drowning. Current law is limited in its ability to prosecute t hose who k now i ng ly endanger others or target them because of a mental disability. Senator Singer

a nd Se n a t o r Swe e ney rewrote the current en-dangerment statutes into one generalized law that includes g radat ions in punishment based on the injury to the victim or the status of the victim. Under the bill, it would be a crime of the fourth degree to recklessly en-gage in conduct that cre-ates a “substantial r isk of bodi ly inju r y” to a person with a develop-mental disability, pun-ishable by a prison term up to 18 months or a f ine up to $10,000, or both; a crime of the third degree if the conduct creates a “substantial risk of seri-ous bodily injury,” with pot ent ia l p r i son t e r m of th ree to f ive years, a f ine up to $15,000, or both, and a second de-gree crime if it creates a “subs t a nt ia l r i sk of death,” subject to a term of five to ten years, a fine

up to $150,000, or both. Se n a t o r Si nge r a nd Senator Sweeney worked on the legislat ion with a number of advocacy groups, including Autism New Jersey, Disabil ity Rights New Jersey, NJ ARC and the New Jersey Council of Developmen-tal Disabilities. “Autism New Jersey is grateful for Senator Sing-er and Senator Sweeney’s leadership, compassion and desire for justice. If their legislation is enact-ed, it would criminalize activity that creates sub-stantial risk for individ-uals with developmental d isabi l it ies and assess g reater legal penalt ies for such ac t ion ,” sa id Dr. Suzanne Buchanan, Execut ive Di rec tor of Autism New Jersey. “In-d iv iduals with aut ism wou ld h ave new p ro -tect ions under the law and make New Jersey a

safer place for everyone, especially our most vul-nerable citizens.” The bill defines “devel-opmental disability” as a severe, chronic disability attributable to a mental or physical impairment that is manifest before age 22, is likely to continue in-definitely, results in the need for continued care and results in substantial functional limitations in three or more of the fol-lowing areas: self-care, receptive and expressive language, learning, mo-bility, self-direction and capaci t y for i ndepen-dent living or economic self-sufficiency. The bill also establishes new cr iminal of fenses whe n t he v ic t i m s a re not developmentally dis-abled, with less severe penalties. For more information, please visit senatenj.com.

OCEAN COUNTY – Work to replace an aging culvert on Cranberry Canners Road in Plumsted Township is expected to be done this spring. “This project will replace an antiquated five-foot diameter corrugated metal pipe which crosses under Cranberry Canners Road,” said Freeholder John P. Kelly, liaison to the Ocean County Engineering Department. “The project will result in better drainage in the area and a strength-ened roadway.” Cranberry Canners Road crosses over Jumping Brook in Plumsted Township. Kelly noted that as is the case with many of the older corrugated drainage pipes, they need replacement to keep or improve the water carrying capacity as well as providing stronger pipes and maintain structural integrity. As part of this project, the proposed replacement will be a 66-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe. “This replacement will add extra capacity as well as the added strength of concrete

to the new pipe,” Kelly said. He added that since a fair portion of the pipes located under the County roadways are aging metal pipe, the County has an ongoing program to replace any aging pipes. “This is all part of our continuing mainte-nance program for our roads,” Kelly said. “With more than 250 bridges and culverts throughout the county, it’s important to properly maintain them and in a timely manner. “All this work is part of the county’s effort to keep our roads and bridges safe for motorists and pedestrians,” he said. The work to replace the culvert is ex-pected to take several weeks to complete. The Ocean County Board of Chosen Free-holders was scheduled to award a contract for the project to the Yannuzzi Group, Inc., Kinnelon in the amount of $200,000 during its January 20 meeting at the Ocean County Administration Building, here. The Board discussed the project during its workshop meeting January 13.

Elbow Up For some folks, inserting your hearing aid into your ear can be a real struggle. Sometimes you twist and turn the hearing aid, which eventually creates a sore ear. Here are a few tricks you can ut i l ize to properly inser t your hearing instrument into your ear canal. First, for custom, non-behind-the-ear products, the “red” writing on the aid is for the right ear and the “blue” writing is for the left ear. Second, when you are inserting the aid, the “vent hole” is usually on the bottom of the aid facing outside.

Third, as you are trying to insert the instrument, make sure your elbow is “up” in line with your ear and push toward your nose. If your elbow is down, you may not insert the aid in the right direc-tion. Thus, the aid may “stick” out of your ear and constantly ring. Remember, if you are struggling with hearing aid insertion, keep your elbow up while inser t ing the aid. This will make life a lot simpler and alleviate potential ear soreness and feedback. Finally, make sure you keep in close contact with your hearing healthcare professional who is there for guidance.

Shocker – Your Blood Sugar Numbers Don’t Matter Much!

When you think of diabetes, either type 1 or 2, the possibility of complications af-fecting your eyes, heart and kidney come to mind. But you never really think of your lungs having problems as a result of blood sugar abnormalities. That’s unfortunately a little-known fact. Diabetes (diagnosed or not) spawns a ton of oxidative stress throughout your body. Lung tissue gets affected by poor blood sugar dys-regulation and all the free radicals killing the innocent cells just trying to ‘breathe,’ if you know what I mean. Lung tissue has an extensive network of blood vessels especially the tiniest ones called capillaries. Capillaries allow blood cells carrying oxygen to march through their vessel walls, but slowly, only cell at a time, kind of like soldiers marching one by one behind each other. Capillaries are the most fragile because they are so thin. Your lungs are also made up of large amounts of connective tissue. Capillaries get destroyed when excessive glucose molecules attach to them and cause stiffening, so then they can’t bend anymore due to the formation of AGE or “Advanced Glycation End” products. A lot of inflammatory cytokines form too. It’s the same case in your eyes, heart, kidneys and nerves; that’s why diabetic complica-tions occur. This leads to swelling and scar tissue, which builds up in the air-pockets and airways of your lung tissue. The capillary tissues fill up with inflammatory cells and fibrin. This process depletes your anti-oxidants like glutathione and SOD. More problems if you have a SNP that slows pro-duction of either of those! It gets harder to breathe, you’re tired and you develop short-ness of breath with little or no exertion. Forget about exercising now. To boot, your new sedentary state causes weight gain and that taxes your heart, increasing cardiovas-

cular compli-cations from diabetes. It c a n ap pa r-ently be addressed, if only partially. In a July 2015 study, researchers tested the lung health of type 2 diabetic rodents demonstrating that if they gave the crit-ters some chromium, zinc and leucine, the animals’ lung health improved, like, a lot! They tried the nutrients separately and in combination. In all scenarios, the antioxidant status improved and lung inf lammation reduced. In some cases it diminished entirely. Chromium, zinc and leucine didn’t just reduce blood sugar, they also protected those fragile capillaries and connective tissue from the cytokine storm, while improving antioxidant status. In other words, nutrients that reduce complications of diabetes are as important as those that reduce blood sugar. In November 2015, new research focused on type 1 diabetes and mineral status. Sci-entists measured blood levels of chromium, zinc and magnesium and they were reduced in all participants. In fact, the most poorly controlled diabetics seemed to have the worst deficiencies. The research confirms that chromium, zinc and magnesium may be useful for people seeking to reduce com-plications. So many of you are focused on the blood sugar number, and you only judge your success by the numbers shown on the glucose machine. But I’m warning you that it’s more important to focus on capillaries, connective tissue and inflammation chem-icals. We know certain herbs and minerals support healthy nerves, capillaries, eyes, kidneys and airways. This reduces compli-cations. If you’re taking a supplement but not seeing the numbers go down, it may still be working. You’d never even realize it if you’re just evaluating your progress with a blood glucose machine.

The Recovery Improve-ments for Small Entities (RISE) After Disaster Act of 2015, which became law on November 25, 2015, gives the SBA Administrator the authority to make disaster loans for Superstorm Sandy for a period of one year. The bill authoriz-es SBA to revise the disaster deadline for major President ial declarat ions for Superstorm Sandy in Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. “Many areas of Ocean County were devastated by the Superstorm that came to shore on October 29,” said Ocean County Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy, who serves as coordinator for the Office of Emergency Management. “And while many have rebuilt, there are still many that continue to struggle in their efforts to return home. “I am happy we can provide an envi-ronment where residents and business owners can come to meet with SBA

SBA Representatives Now Available For Local Consult

representatives,” he said. Businesses can benefit from SBA’s disaster loans for physical losses not covered by insurance, grants or other sources. Additionally, businesses that are still struggling and need working capital should apply for a SBA Econom-ic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL). These working capital loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts pay-able and other bills that could have been paid had Hurricane Sandy not occurred. Homeowners may be eligible to apply to repair or replace disaster-damaged real estate. Homeowners and renters may be eligible to apply to repair or replace d isaster damaged personal property. SBA disaster business and home loans are available for Hurricane Sandy survi-vors for disaster- related uncompensated losses whether they previously applied or never applied. Interest rates are as low as 4 percent for businesses, 3 percent for non-profit organizations and 1.688 per-cent for homeowners and renters with terms up to 30 years. Loan amounts and terms are set by the SBA and are based on each applicant’s financial condition. New Jersey businesses and residents affected by the storm can get one-on-one assistance from SBA customer service representatives. Applicants may also apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure website at disaster-loan.sba.gov/ela. Businesses and individuals may also obtain information and loan applications by calling the SBA’s Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 (800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard of hearing) or by emailing [email protected]. Loan applications can also be down-loaded at sba.gov/disaster. Completed applications should be returned to the centers or mailed to: U.S. Small Busi-ness Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

Taking That Ride To NowhereDear Readers, It never fails to amaze me how life lessons big and small keep coming at all of us. My guess is: mostly when we least expect them. Now, I would say that I am a pretty savvy guy when it comes to travel. I had the good fortune of having parents who had me travel-ing by air, way ahead of most of my friends. So, with all the miles that I had logged over a lifetime, I thought that I had learned every inch of the rope. This past trip proved me wrong. Leaving to visit my family in Florida for the holiday felt wonderful. I had well packed suitcases, my personal items and identification for flying all ready. The house sitter had come earli-er in the day so there was no last-min-ute crunch and panic. I confirmed my ride to Newark, went online to see that my flight was on time. In a few words: the perfect traveler. Even as I got to the airport, I double checked the car to make sure I had taken everything with me. All perfect and feeling very ready for a little R&R. I go to the gate and my plane was now departing 15 minutes behind schedule. Hey, I can live with that. In fact it was better news than every other flight leaving to Florida which had delays in excess of an hour. I was feeling quite pretty. Interestingly, the weather changed as I saw through the windows. It now started to pour as hard as rain can fall. “No biggie, at least it isn’t snow,” is what I said to myself. Still feeling pretty good, I see that my small delay was far better than others. Then in a blink of the eye, I see that my flight was cancelled. Now that’s a moment when you realize that

the pieces are moving fast ( o r m a y b e not). The gate agent told me not to panic because they are looking for a new aircraft and to sit tight, which I patiently did for about 2.5 hours. My name was called and she told me that there was good news. A new aircraft was found and would be leaving in about 12 hours. Most of my fellow passengers decided to “hang out.” But 12 hours in an airport to me is more than” hanging out” After all I live an hour or so from the airport. I decided to ask for my checked lug-gage back. Never did it occur to me that with the number of flights sud-denly being cancelled did the airport not have enough baggage handlers to go plane by plane. Additionally, find-ing my luggage, which was nonde-script among 300 other pieces? I was asked to describe them. It took hours to retrieve my nondescript suitcases. I realized that I would bite the bullet and start tying pink woolen flowers on every handle from now on. I think that you get the picture. Hanging out may have been the better of the two choices. When I do the math it almost came out to the same amount of time and was the cheaper of the two al-ternatives (saving taxi money, etc.). I think the moral of the story is that we can help a lot in life but have no control over the weather.

WHAT IS A MUSCLE SPASM?

A muscle spasm is an involuntary contraction of a muscle that can cause pain or

discomfort. A sustained muscle spasm can be known as a muscle cramp, which can be a mild nuisance or an incapacitating pain limiting your ability to prepare dinner, go grocery shopping or get a good night sleep. A spasm can be experienced in multiple areas of the body including your neck, shoulders, low back, hips, legs and many places in between.

WHAT CAUSES ME TO GET MUSCLE SPASMS?

There are many reasons why someone may develop muscle spasms including muscle fatigue, muscle weakness, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, medications, insufficient potassium and sodium levels, vitamin deficiencies, or circulatory or nervous system dysfunction. Also there are several external factors that play a role in someone developing muscle spasms including stress, improper body mechanics with lifting, poor posture with prolonged sitting and standing activities, or sometimes even a simple or repetitive movement can trigger a muscle spasm. Occasionally, living a more sedentary lifestyle can be a reason for such symptoms to occur as a result of prolonged sitting or lying with decreased daily activities.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF A MUSCLE SPASM?

Pain, muscle stiffness, discomfort, and temporary immobilization or range of motion limitations are a few examples of symptoms you may feel while experiencing a muscle spasm.

WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS OF MUSCLE SPASMS?

Certain factors may increase your risk of getting muscle spasms such as age, inadequate hydration before and during activity, and specific medical conditions. With age, people lose muscle mass which can cause muscles to become overstressed much easier

MICHELLE LESLIE, PTAMichelle began her prerequisites for the PTA program while

working as a PT technician in an out-patient facility where she pursued her interest in the field over an eight year span. She earned her Associate degree in applied science for Physical Therapist Assistant program in 2014 from Walters State Community College in Morristown, TN. Her clinical rotations included out patient, in patient, transitional care unit, orthopedics, skilled nursing, acute and sub acute care setting. She has been a member of the American Physical Therapist Association since 2012. Her passion for wanting to help people and make a difference in lives continues to grow daily.

Michelle’s proficient interests include but are not limited to orthopedics, SI dysfunctions, muscle energy techniques, joint mobilizations, disorder of lumbar spine, myofascial release and soft tissue mobilization.

Michelle has continued her education with participation in:

and can allow muscle spasms to prevail. Some athletes who participate in outdoor summer and winter events as well as indoor events can become fatigued and dehydrated

which can also assist with developing muscle spasms or muscle cramping. Certain medical conditions as well as pregnancy may play a role in initiating such discomfort in the experience of spasms or cramping.

HOW TO PREVENT MUSCLE SPASMS?Exercise, diet and daily stretching of your upper, middle

and lower body are ways to prevent muscle spasms. Staying active is very important and can help with muscle spasm prevention. Easy way to stay active include attending classes at your local gym or community, daily stretching, or going for walks in your neighborhood or the mall. It is important to remember to stay hydrated before and after exercise and to take breaks if needed.

HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP ME?After an initial evaluation is performed by a Physical

Therapist, a specialized program will be designed and developed just for you, to address your specific diagnosis and current symptoms. Depending on the location of your ailment, treatments could include strengthening, flexibility, range of motion exercises, and endurance training. Manual techniques consisting of passive range of motion, manual stretching, low-load prolonged stretching, manual resistive exercises and soft tissue mobilization may also be included to benefit and maximize your specialized program. Following each session each patient will be educated on a home exercise program to maintain progress made and prevent reoccurring symptoms. Simple modifications can also be made to your

at-home work station or household set up to prevent poor body mechanics and positioning with everyday activities.

A licensed physical therapist will be able to assist you by performing soft tissue mobilizations as another possibility of treatment. Soft tissue mobilization is a hands on technique in which muscles and associated connective tissue are mobilized and massaged to decrease tension and stretch muscle fascia. Soft tissue mobilization can decrease muscle tension, break up scar tissue and improve mobility. By performing this specific technique it allows your muscles to relax and restore pain free mobility.

Soft tissue mobilization can treat problems affecting the low back as well as upper and lower extremity pain such as tennis elbow, golfers elbow, biceps tendonitis, rotator cuff repair, total hip/knee replacements, plantar fasciitis and many other diagnosis.

At All-Care Physical Therapy Center, we are able to address these issues and develop an individualized treatment plan to alleviate symptoms and help you reach your goals.

overcrowded refugee camps, while his oppressors limited their calorie intake, embargoed even humanitarian assistance and continued to steal their land? What if they had to endure relentless air strikes while all 100 of our Senators voted to give our unalloyed support to Israel? Few politicians have the courage to go up against the wishes of the powerful lobbying group, AIPAC (American Is-raeli Public Affairs Committee), or their campaign benefactors in the military in-dustry because they know that would most likely mean political suicide. Fortunately though, courageous people throughout the world are speaking out against this genocide. And some of them have joined the BDS (Boycott, Divest and Sanction) campaign.

“You never know a man until you under-stand things from his point of view, until you climb into his skin and walk around in it”.... [Harper Lee] in [her] book “To Kill A Mockingbird.” I wonder if Mr. Frattini really thinks that we are in the Middle East to bring about peace, “Truth, Justice and The American Way” there, like Superman wanted to do here. The goals of encouraging a more just society are noble, but that is never the real reason for maintaining or expanding Em-pire. It wasn’t true during Colonialism, and it is not true with today’s Neocolo-nialism, or in our Imperial aspirations. Many people in Mr. Frattini’s genera-tion (mine too) still swallow the slant, of what passes for good journalism that they hear and see in the corporate owned,

mainstream news media, and then form their opinions. But that is far less the case with the younger generations, and the growing number of older people who have undergone an epiphany in realizing that, we have been manipulated. For starters, I urge Mr. Frattini to Google “The Empire’s Ship is Sinking,” and listen to Colonel Wilkerson give his 25-minute interview. He was a former Army Ranger, a National Security Advisor to the Reagan adminis-tration and assistant to Secretary of State Colin Powell. He had an awakening, albeit late in life; so too should Mr. Frattini. Kudos to Colonel Wilkerson, and every-one who seeks the truth, and who wants a more just and peaceful world.John ThorssinToms River

Tax Appeals Basics

The recent increase in property taxes in some Ocean County towns has prompted an increase in calls to our office re-questing more information on filing tax appeals. This article will address some of the most commonly asked questions about tax appeals. The most important thing to understand about tax appeals is what you can and cannot appeal. Under New Jersey law, you can only appeal that the assessment for your property is in excess of the prop-erty’s fair market value. The assessment is the municipality’s determination as to the value of your property, which is sent to each taxpayer around February 1 of each year in the form of a postcard showing the property’s address, tax block and lot and the assessment. It is equally important to know what you cannot appeal. You cannot appeal the following: (1) the amount of taxes which you have to pay; (2) whether you can afford to pay the taxes; (3) that another person is paying less taxes than you; and (4) that the assessment of another prop-erty is less than yours. Thus, the County Tax Board can only hear appeals that the property’s assessment is greater than its fair market value. The municipal tax assessment is enti-tled to a presumption that it is correct. It is up to the taxpayer to prove that the assessment is too high. To do this, the taxpayer must present evidence to the Tax Board as to the correct fair market value of the property. This evidence should be in the form of sales of comparable properties which occurred on or before

October 1 of the year prior to the filing of the appeal. Since most people do not know how to find such comparable sales, it is best to hire a State licensed or cer-tified real estate appraiser to prepare an appraisal showing the comparable sales. The appraisal must be filed with the Tax Board no later than one week prior to the tax appeal hearing date. The appraiser should also be at the hearing to present the appraisal. Taxpayers should be aware that the law gives the tax assessor a range of 15% in either direction, so that if true value as determined by the Tax Board is within the 15% range, the Tax Board may not change the assessment (the so-called “Chapter 123” test). The taxpayer should consult with the appraiser as to whether the comparable sales support a reduction in the assessment. In most cases, all tax appeals must be filed no later than April 1 of each year. However, in some cases the appeal dead-line may be later. It is best to check with the town as to the filing deadline. The filing deadline is strictly enforced and the failure to file by the deadline will result in the appeal being dismissed. Taxpayers seeking to file appeals should begin the process as soon as they receive the assess-ment card from the tax assessor. Because the laws and procedures regarding tax appeals are complicated, it is a good idea to retain the services of an attorney to assist you in filing and pursuing the appeal. R. C. Shea and Associates has a long history of obtaining reductions in tax assessments for our clients.

Just as New Year’s resolutions often inspire us to eat more healthily and exercise more often, so does January see many of us trying to live more economically. And one of the smartest ways to save money is to enjoy more meals cooked at home. Yet, it sometimes seems to me as if the home kitchen can feel like a foreign territory to a number of peo-ple. Many in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and even 50s didn’t learn to cook from their mothers and grandmothers as generations before did. That is one of the big reasons why I’m launching my new online, all-video cooking school, WolfgangPuckCookingSchool.com, this month. (You can check it out now with a free 14-day trial.) I want cooks everywhere to discover, with me as their personal guide, how easy it can be to prepare delicious, beautiful food in their own homes. You don’t have to start learning how to cook by attempting some sort of extravaganza for a big dinner party. Even everyday dishes can become a pleasure to prepare and eat once you know the right way to cook them. So let’s start with breakfast, and one of its most popular dishes: scrambled eggs. (You’ll find a recipe lesson at my video cooking school!) I’ve always thought that the best scrambled eggs are soft and creamy, with small curds that taste as moist and rich as thick custard. Yet, too many people know scrambled eggs only by the dry lumps they’re served in old-fashioned diners. As you’ll learn in the following recipe, however, luscious scrambled eggs are simple to make if you use the medium-low heat, so they don’t dry out before they’re done; moisten and enrich them with a little cream (or milk), and stir them almost constantly, scraping the pan, so they cook evenly. Perfectly cooked scrambled eggs can also become the basis for all sorts of variations. You can add ingredients to flavor them, such as the caramelized onions I cook in this recipe before add-ing the eggs, other sauteed vegetables, maybe some chopped ham or crumbled crispy bacon, or simply a sprinkling of grated cheese. Of course, you can also serve scram-bled eggs in more elaborate ways than just spooning them right onto a plate. I sometimes serve my eggs on top of some thinly sliced smoked salmon, or open-faced on toasted bagel halves.

(Or why not go all the way and put the smoked salmon on the toasted bagels before you pile on the eggs?) Gain some confidence in your own kitchen by starting with some scram-bled eggs for breakfast or brunch, and there’s no telling where it might lead. I wish you happy cooking throughout 2016! CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Serves 4 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or unsalted butter1 1/2 cups (375 mL) chopped yellow onionKosher salt Freshly ground black pepper10 large cage-free eggs 1/4 cup (60 mL) heavy cream 6 ounces (185 g) thinly sliced smoked salmon (optional)2 bagels, split and toasted (optional)4 sprigs fresh chervil or parsley, or chopped fresh chives (for garnish) Heat the olive oil or butter individ-ually, or a half-and-half mixture of oil and butter, in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot enough to foam freely, or the butter begins to foam, add the onion. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Saute, stir-ring frequently with a wooden spoon until the onion turns a deep golden brown, about 8 minutes. While the onion is cooking, break the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 tea-spoon pepper. With a fork or a whisk, beat until the egg mixture is thoroughly blended and slightly frothy. Once the onion is caramelized, reduce the heat under the skillet to medium-low. Pour in the egg mixture. As the eggs begin to set, use a rubber spatula to scrape them from the edges of the skillet toward the center, forming soft, creamy curds while letting the still-liquid egg mixture flow toward the edges. Remove the skillet from the heat and continue stirring and scraping the eggs until they are set to your liking. If you want them more done, return the pan to low heat and continue cooking and stirring. Serve the eggs immediately. If you like, spoon them on top of smoked salmon or on toasted bagel halves, or even on toasted bagels along with smoked salmon. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.

Back To Basics: A Lesson On Scrambled Eggs

For the week of January 23 - January 29

By Jeraldine Saunders

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You must play by the rules but you don’t need to make them. Remain obedient and deferential to those in charge. In the week ahead you will have ample opportunities to flaunt your unique skills and talents.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t take good luck for granted as this week begins. Follow up on agreements and send a formal thank you if a helpful friend grants a favor. If you must make a crucial decision, take time to sleep on it first.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Turn on the lights. You may be in the dark about a situa-tion or blind to the facts this week. Patiently researching the details will allow you to come to a successful solution. A relationship could prove disappointing.CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put on a brave front as this week unfolds. Keep fears and doubts hidden as others may see these as weakness. Make your points clear to avoid mis-understanding. Your industry and take charge attitude are assets.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Even non-turtles know that slow and steady wins the race. Stick to your routines at work in the week to come and eventually you will get to the finish line. Do not be stingy if asked to make a donation to a charity.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The sky is the limit. Your good judgment shines with the big things this week, but may slip a bit with the small things. In your rush to make material success realities don’t offer casual assurances to bystanders.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stick around your own home and make repairs, clean up, or get organized. There will be plenty of time in the week ahead to enjoy social events, entertain-ment or fun. Start the week off with a clean slate.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Adhere to the usual routines in the week ahead. Re-lationships may thrive due to a willingness to cooperate and someone may even bring you an opportunity. However, do not volunteer to take on new responsibilities.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take time for traditions and curtsey to conven-tions. You may be temporarily frustrated by what seems to be a lack of respect or appreci-ation. This discomfort will be washed away in the week to come.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Use your heart rather than your head. Logic may dictate a course of action but compassion and understanding will achieve the best result in the week to come. Be sympathetic and aware of the needs of others.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An in-discretion or exaggeration might place a barrier between you and a partner. Later this week you may have a chance to repair the damage. Your plans may include asking for help with a work related project.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make a breakthrough in the week ahead. A fresh dis-covery or insight can alter your motivations or empower you to do better. You are more popular than usual but shouldn’t give your heart away until too quickly.(c) 2015 TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.
