By Chris Christopher JACKSON – There is no more need for his coach’s whistle. There are no more lesson plans. Jackson Memorial Coach and History Teacher Corey Lavin, a former Jaguars’ quarterback, has entered the business world. The Jackson Township Board of Education accepted Lavin’s resignation as a history teacher, head boys bowling coach and assistant football and baseball coach at its recent meeting. Lavin, who was Jackson Me-morial High School’s starting quarterback in 2006 when it won the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group III title and went 12-0 un-der then-coach Mike Smith, has become a sales representative with Piscataway-based Cintas. “We sell uniforms, facility sup-plies, a multitude of different things,” he said. Lavin and his fiancee, Molly Dahl are engaged to be married in April. She is employed by the Wall Street Journal in sales on its conference team. “A lot of the reason I took the job has to do with my family,” he said. “My fiancée works and

By Jennifer Peacock Jackson Township sent a strong message to any would-be outside patrol forces: stay out. Council unanimously passed a resolution that “restricts cooperation” of the town-ship’s police department with any neigh-borhood watch group outside the town-ship’s jurisdiction. The resolution came in response to complaints about Lakewood’s Civilian Safety Watch (LCSW) crossing into Jackson. A May 5 post on the Jackson Police Facebook page, signed by Chief Matthew Kunz, seemed to indicate that if the LCSW was called into Jackson by a resident, they would respond. “The LCSW group will provide assistance for any person or group upon request.

Now known as Memorial Day, the national holiday is a day of patriotism, spent with ceremo-nies and parades remembering those servicemen and women who died in conflicts through-out the ages.

competitive mentality. You can go out and work as hard as you choose to and I think that is something I really excel at.” Lavin, 27, said it was difficult to leave the Jaguars behind. “It was a tough decision to make,” said Lavin, who resigned a tenured teaching po-sition. “Obviously, it was one of the toughest decisions of my life. On the other hand, it was fairly easy in terms of doing what was right for my family. My fiancée and I sat down and talked about it and talked it through. I did what I had to do.” These days, Lavin finds himself wearing a suit. “I don’t mind it,” he said. “I enjoy it. It is fun. I enjoy getting dressed up each day. It is not tough.” Lavin keeps busy. “I am out and about,” he said. “I talk to new people each day. I build relationships and have fun. The company is phenomenal. The corpo-ration in my opinion is the best corporation to work for. It all goes back to doing things the right way. They do things the right way.” Lavin was the Jaguars’ offensive coordinator when they won Central Jersey Group IV last fall and in 2014. He also competed in baseball and wrestling for the Jaguars. “I think I owe everything to playing sports,” he said. “There were the coaches I worked with hand in hand like Frank Malta (head baseball coach). He is second to none in terms of doing things the right way. There was Walt Krystopik (head football coach). He is a very,

very good friend of mine and he has endless amounts of knowledge. At Jackson Memorial, we always prided ourselves on doing things the right way. We had so much success as we did things the right way. “We hold our student-athletes to a high stan-dard of doing things the right way. There was J.M. Gold (assistant baseball coach). There was Scott Goodale (head wrestling coach). These people created a hunger and a work ethic in me that was second to none. They taught me dedication and motivation and having a passion for what you do.” Lavin graduated from King’s College where he received a history degree, minored in ge-ography and came away with certification in secondary education and special education. Lavin, who was hampered by injuries as a freshman with the Monarchs, enjoyed produc-tive seasons as a sophomore, junior and senior. As a sophomore, he completed 17 of 45 passes for 200 yards and one touchdown. He rushed for 87 yards and one touchdown on 27 carries. As a junior, he connected on 131 of 262 passes for 1,675 yards and 18 touchdowns. He tossed 14 interceptions and compiled a 115.69 passing efficiency rating. He rushed for 520 yards and five touchdowns on 97 carries. He averaged 219.5 total offensive yards per outing. Lavin won All-Middle Atlantic Conference second-team honors as a senior, completing 185 of 370 passes for 2,160 yards and 14 touchdowns. He threw 12 interceptions and had a 105.04 passing efficiency rating. He rushed for 59 yards and two touchdowns on 94 carries. He averaged 221.9 total offensive yards per game. Lavin spent the winter of 2015-16 coaching

the Jaguars’ boys bowling team to a Shore Conference divisional title. The Jaguars’ top scorers were juniors Steve Gold and Steve Nicholsen and senior Anthony Srnka. “I had never bowled a day in my life,” Lavin said. “Mike Smith was working in the athletics department as the new athletics coordinator at Jackson Memorial and we always had a great relationship. He said, ‘We don’t have a boys bowling coach.’ I said, ‘I am not going to let these high school kids go through an entire season without having a coach. I don’t know much about bowling, but I know how to coach, motivate kids and do things the right way.’ “We were fortunate to make a run during the football season to the finals. The football and bowling seasons overlapped. I have to give a lot of credit to Brian Tart, our girls bowling coach. He was in his first year as their coach and he helped out with the boys team. We were there to work hard and bowl and that is what the boys did.” Lavin said he misses coaching. “I think I miss coaching the kids,” he said. “One of the greatest things was when I saw things click for the kids at such a young age. They look up to you as a mentor. Once they buy into what you are selling ... That is what you miss. I would say I miss it a little bit for sure. Do I regret my decision? Absolutely not. But I do miss it at times. I miss the bonding with the coaching staffs and dealing with some of the best guys in the business. “It was always a positive experience at Jackson Memorial. I hope everyone I came in contact with feels the same way. They were supportive of me. We always said, ‘Once a Jag-uar, always a Jaguar.’ I kind of believe that.”

OCEAN COUNTY – Operators have restored the Oyster Creek Generating Sta-tion 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 repaired and tested several pumps and seals that con-trol water flow and performed maintenance on a control rod drive mechanism. Many of these activities could not be performed while the unit was generating electricity. “The community relies on Oyster Creek’s electricity, particularly during the peak sum-mer 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.”

OCEAN COUNTY – Local officials are warn-ing the abundance of rain could lead to standing water, and the potential for mosquitos. “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 County 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.

Time To Get Rid Of Standing Water 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 Department of Health and continues to participate in confer-ence calls with the State and the Centers for Dis-ease 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 yourself and your property from mosquitoes and updated information on mosquito repellents, which are certainly recom-mended 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 follow the Health Department on Twitter@OCpublichealth.

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

Fire The DMV 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. Sena-tors Bob Menendez and Cory Booker applauded the Envi-ronmental Protection Agency for allocating $70.41 million to help finance upgrades to New Jersey’s wastewater and drinking water systems that are essential to protecting public health and the envi-ronment. The funding comes amid growing concern over the presence of high levels of lead discovered in the drink-ing water in several New Jersey public school districts. “I am pleased that the EPA has made this critical invest-ment to help New Jersey communities address their aging water infrastructure

Freeholder Forum - By Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari

Pinelands Are Being Assaulted By Illegal ATV Riderson 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 property 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, 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.

From The Desk Of Senator Bob Menendezand make the improvements necessary to protect the pub-lic’s health and wellbeing,” said Sen. Menendez. “We must give our states and cities the tools they need to fix, upgrade and replace these failing water systems that threaten the health of our families, our environ-ment 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 infra-structure funding like this through the federal appropri-ations process to help finance critical water infrastructure upgrades that will create jobs, spur economic growth and most importantly, protect the health and well-being of our communities in New Jersey and across the nation.” The EPA is allotting $54.59 million from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWS-RF) and $15.81 million from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) programs, both to be admin-

istered by the New Jersey De-partment of Environmental Protection (DEP). CWSRF provides low-interest loans to local governments for water quality protection projects to make improvements to wastewater treatment sys-tems, control pollution from rain water runoff, and protect sensitive water bodies and estuaries. DWSRF provides low-interest loans to local governments to finance im-provements to drinking water systems, with a particular focus on providing funds to small and low-income com-munities. “Clean drinking water and proper wastewater treatment

are fundamental to protecting people’s health, but aging wa-ter infrastructure needs to be upgraded and repaired,” said EPA Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck. “This federal funding will help New Jersey communities upgrade their drinking water and sewage treatment systems, both of which are imperative for healthy communities.” The EPA has awarded $2.4 billion to New Jersey through these programs since 1989. Both are funded annually. In March, Sens. Menendez and Booker joined a biparti-san 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 Sen-ate Interior Appropriations Subcommittee, 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 infrastruc-ture projects like replacing lead pipes. The bill has been included as a key provision in the federal lead and clean water package introduced last month by Senate Democrats.

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 incorporates some images and themes from the Long Beach Island region. At its core, “Colorful Coast” captures the excitement of a day at the beach and puts it on the pages to be colored. Color fun mosaics and mandalas as well as sketched art, abstract nautical images and underwater sea life. Bill Clanton found inspiration from great land-marks like the Barnegat Light House, local wildlife, the shoreline and more. “Colorful Coast: Long Beach Island Edi-tion” can be found online through billclan-tonbooks.com, Amazon and locally at five LBI shops and boutiques. 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. Creator and illustrator Clanton said, “It is so awesome when an artist can be presented with such amazing inspiration in their own backyard.” Bill Clanton, a Jersey Shore native, has lived in the LBI region for the past 37 years. All of Clanton’s books can be found at billclantonbooks.com.

assistance may include well-being checks for family or friends, or checking on homes when the residents are away. The Lakewood Police Department does inter-act with them in certain circumstances, akin to the support that CERT teams pro-vide via the Office of Emergency Manage-ment. Members of the LCSW are trained to make observations and report them to the police department, not to take law enforcement action,” the post said. Kunz said the LCSW does not “patrol” Jackson, and an investigation into “alleged traffic stops, patrols of the township and the use of red or blue lights and or sirens,” has yielded no indications of wrongdoing. However, township off icials have claimed to see LCSW vehicles in town. While that group and other Lakewood of-ficials have gone on the record saying the LCSW stays within Lakewood’s borders, a Toms River resident provided footage of a LCSW vehicle driving down his North Dover neighborhood on Owen Court with its amber lights turned on in April this year. APP.com reporter Shannon Mullen reported that Lakewood Police Chief Rob-ert Lawson, who spoke with LCSW about the video, said the driver didn’t realize he was in North Dover. Councilman Barry Calogero read into the record his letter to Kunz, which re-ceived a round of applause when finished. Calogero’s letter, along with correspon-dence available on social media outlets

Watch:Continued From Page 1

from Council President Robert Nixon and Mayor Michael Reina, demand the end of outside “help” patrolling Jackson streets. Calogero read a letter he penned to Kunz outlining his and residents’ frustrations. “Chief, I have received numerous calls from irate, concerned, frustrated, and quite honestly, fed up residents as it relat-ed to the continued presence of the LCSW patrolling Jackson borders and can be described as intentional impersonation of police officers,” Calogero said. “So with a strong, functional police force, that in my opinion is second to none in the state, why do we allow this outside organization to patrol and intimidate Jackson residents with marked cars, deliberately intended to bring attention to themselves? I can attest that I’ve seen them racing down County Line with my own eyes. I strongly request immediate action be taken to have this process stopped in its tracks. While all are welcome to live freely in Jackson and enjoy our township, we do not need an outside township patrolling our streets of Jackson.” He concluded: “We have a great police department. They’ve proven their ability. They’re second to none. We don’t need help from outside townships.” Nixon, who also a penned a letter that made the social media rounds, spoke on the patrols and addressing public safety. “Public safety is the most important obligation of any government. Anything that remotely calls into question that ob-ligation has to be immediately addressed. Much has been said about sightings by

outside community groups ‘patrolling’ town. The mayor and I, others on Council, many of you, have seen it with our own eyes. I think we made ourselves very clear over the last two weeks about what we believe the policy of this township should be as it relates to that,” Nixon said. While neighborhood watches have their place, Nixon said they cannot replace trained emergency workers. The resolu-tion states that any neighborhood watch organized in Jackson will not use any ve-hicle, identification, or uniform, and may only receive training from federal, state, county or local law enforcement agencies. “It’s simply too dangerous and too prone to abuse to allow untrained civilians to act in place of police, fire, or an EMT. I expect no problem whatsoever in getting the cooperation of our police depart-ment…in enforcing this resolution. Our administration, thanks to the mayor, will ensure that its implementation is taken seriously for the benefit of this commu-nity,” Nixon said. While residents should call 9-1-1 for emergencies, the resolution doesn’t state how violations of it should be handled. That information was not available by press time. “Some will say we’re overreacting, that anybody has the right to call anybody they want to come and handle a problem for them. But I have to say that’s why we have9-1-1. Our emergency personnel are qualified, they are trained, they are experienced. They can handle it. None of us should take the law into our own

hands, I think we all know that. And our police officers have to be free to enforce the laws they’re trained to do. The fire-fighters have to be able to get to a scene to address emergencies quickly, and our EMTs have to be able to get to a person who’s in physical distress,” Nixon said. The LCSW describes itself as a 24-hour-a day volunteer organization “to help keep the streets of Lakewood safe.” Persons can call the 24-hour hotline to report “fears and suspicions,” and volunteers will be dispatched to the scene and ar-rive within minutes, then taking it upon themselves to determine professional help is needed. The volunteer application for LCSW asks for the name of the congregation or church attended, and the name of the respective rabbi or pastor. The group responded to complaints about their presence outside Lakewood in an April 28 Facebook post. “While the LCSW’s operations are, for the most part, limited to Lakewood, we have on occasion been asked to patrol in other cities and towns throughout New Jersey. However, we never enter munic-ipalities without first coordinating with the local authorities. Recently, the LCSW received requests for patrols from numer-ous residents of the Rte. 70 area near the Lakewood-Toms River border. During his zone patrol, one of our members drove his marked vehicle down one block on North Apple St. in Toms River. We apologize if his presence on the street distressed anyone in any way.”

OCEAN COUNTY – Do you love to read, but have physical limitations that prevent you from getting to the library? The Ocean County Library provides delivery of library materials free of charge to Ocean County residents living independently who are unable to visit a physical library location. After contacting the Home Borrowers Co-ordinator, the library will assign a trained volunteer to deliver items to your home. The Home Borrowers Service customer must be able to establish a mutually con-venient time with the volunteer to deliver and pick up materials, approximately every three weeks. In order to qualify for the Home Borrow-ers Service, the following criteria must be met: You must be a resident of Ocean County, who does not have family members or friends to assist them with their library needs. You must submit a completed Home Borrowers Service Customer Application. You must submit a basic Medical Ver-ification Form stating that you cannot physically visit the library. You must cooperate with the volunteer to arrange a mutually convenient time for drop off and pick up of library materials. You must return all materials on time, with the assistance from the assigned volunteer. Last year, the Home Borrower Volunteers delivered more than 19,000 library items to the Ocean County Home Borrower customers. If you would like to volunteer with the Ocean County Library to deliver materials to homebound residents, contact Home Borrowers Services at 732-349-6200, ext. 5530. A background check, paid for by the library, is required.

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 deter-mining 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.

JACKSON – A fatal one-car crash that took the life of Manchester resident, Richard T. Ulis, 59, the driver of the vehicle, is under investigation and the police are asking for the public’s assistance, seeking any witnesses to the incident. The Jackson Police Department is currently investigating the crash which occurred May 11 on Cassville Road (Route 571) at approx-imately 5 a.m. Officers and emergency personnel responded to a serious motor vehicle crash on Cassville Road in the area north of the Freehold Road intersection. The crash involved one vehicle, which had only one occupant. Preliminary investigation shows that the vehicle was traveling north on Cassville Road, when for unknown reasons it crossed the center line into the southbound lane, and continued off the southbound side of the roadway where the vehicle struck a tree. Cassville and Jackson Mills Fire Companies, Quality First Aid, and Monoc Paramedics responded to the scene. The crash is under investigation by Officers Joseph Candido, Trevor Crowley and Ed Travisano of the Jackson Township Police Dept. Traffic Safety Bureau, overseen by Sgt. George Vidalis of the Traffic Bureau. Also on scene were detectives from the Ocean County Prosecutors F.A.S.T. Any witnesses to the crash are asked to contact the Jackson Police Department at 732-928-1111.

Police Seeking Tips In Fatal Crash

hearings; landlords must have a physical address and not just a PO Box to reach them; out-of-county owners must name a local representative who can be served with notices about the property. Residents have approached Council with complaints and called in violations about not only dilapidated properties around town

owned by LLCs, but about work being done on homes after business hours that violate enforcement code. Council President Robert Nixon said Jack-son’s new ordinance will exceed the mini-mum standards that New Jersey mandates. “It’s going to allow us to hold accountable and track absentee landlords, especially limited liability companies that buy and rent property in Jackson. It’s going to en-sure Code Enforcement and the building

department have oversight to prevent illegal uses of homes that are to be rented. While I think it’s great that people look at Jackson as a place to invest, we have to be resolved that that investment doesn’t impede on the quality of life of our residents or all of our investments in our homes, which is, as you know, probably the biggest purchase we’ll make in our entire lives,” Nixon said. The ordinance allows for the township to contact, have hearings, and seek reparations

against landlords that fail to maintain their properties. All single- and double-unit rentals must be registered with the town each year by January 31. Registration is $100 per year per unit. Late filers are subject to fines. Each rental unit must be inspected upon a change of occupancy or tenancy. The registrant must provide a physical address where they can be reached. While post office boxes are not prohibited from being used, they “alone are insufficient,” the proposed language states. If the owner lives outside Ocean County, he must provide the township with the infor-mation of a person in the county authorized to “accept notices from a tenant and to issue receipts therefor and to accept service of process on behalf of the owner of record.” The ordinance stipulates also that the name, address, telephone number and e-mail address of any managing agents and mortgage holders must be provided. The number of bedrooms and square foot-age, number of occupants or tenants in the unit, whether the tenant was screened must also be shared with the township. The registrant must also provide the town-ship with copies of the deed, lease, property management agreement, mortgage informa-tion, notices regarding the Security Deposit Act and a certificate of good standing from the NJ Department of Treasury, if the owner must be registered with the state. Copies of this information will be on file at the township and a copy given to the tenants. These records will not be available to the public.

Educating Our CommunityOn Nursing Home Abuse

People put their elderly parent or grand-parent 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 rise 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 all nursing homes in America indulge in some form of resident abuse. Statistics show that nearly 50 percent of all nursing homes are short staffed. The staff people who do work in these facilities are underpaid, overworked and all too often overburdened, which in turn leads to elder neglect and abuse. Even more alarming is the prediction that the problem will only worsen in the near future. More than 91 percent of nursing homes lack adequate staff to properly care for patients. A Health and Human Services Department report found patients in un-derstaffed nursing homes were more likely to suffer from a variety of problems, such as bed sores, malnutrition, 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, unexplained injuries, frequent infections, bedsores, questionable hygiene, appearance of malnutrition, emotional distress and unsanitary living conditions. Document any such evidence you observe, and bring it to the attention of your attor-ney. Neglect can be just as harmful in the long run as abuse, leading to additional health problems and possibly death. Nurs-ing home abuse isn’t limited to physical abuse; there can also be emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse, where an elder is demeaned or humiliated in other ways. Many elders needlessly suffer 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 are actually supposed to be well taken care of; unfor-tunately, 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 trial attor-neys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free consultation to discuss their rights.

FARMINGDALE – The Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore raised more than $175,000 during its Annual Women of Distinction and Community Partners Gala recently at Eagle Oaks Country Club. The annual event honors the personal and professional achievements of outstanding local individ-uals and organizations. During the black-tie affair, sponsored by Investors Bank, the Girl Scouts honored a group of individuals. This year’s Women of Distinction included Lillian Burry, Monmouth County Freeholder; Valerie Montecalvo, Bayshore Recycling; Maria Tanzola, UBS; Betty White, civic volun-

Girl Scouts Honors Distinguished Community Leadersteer and Bertha Williams-Pullen, Neptune Township School District. As its Community Partner, the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore honored The Faith and James Knight Foundation. The Junior Woman of Distinction was Kathy Ann Drake, a Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore Girl Board Representative. And this year, for the first time, the council

honored a “Man Enough to be a Girl Scout” Member of the Year. The inaugural honoree was Jim DeAngelis, Lakewood BlueClaws. All honorees are from Monmouth and Ocean counties. They are dedicated to bettering the community and they embody the leadership qualities represented by the Girl Scout organization. Each honoree is a valuable role model to girls as they become

women of courage, confidence and char-acter, who make the world a better place. Each honoree is now on the distinguished list of community leaders and activities honored by the Girl Scouts through this annual event over the past 32 years. For more information about the Girl Scouts and upcoming events visit girlscoutsjs.org/specialevents.

OCEAN COUNTY – More than 750 prom dresses were distributed free of charge to young adults during this year’s Ocean County Library prom dress program. The Prom Dress Giveaway program, now in its seventh year, achieved record-breaking numbers in terms of attendance and dresses according to library staff. The distribution was held at the library’s Little Egg Harbor, Lakewood, Barnegat, and Toms River branches. Hundreds of dresses were col-lected from all over the library system during the winter. “The Young Adult Services team, along with staff members from the four branches and groups of hard-working teen volunteers, collect-ed, sorted, tagged, and arranged dresses for each giveaway,” said Senior Librarian Nancy Marino. The library’s facilities team transported the dresses and set up dressing rooms at each branch. “All the hard work and effort was worth it,” said Emily Mazzoni of Young Adult Ser-vices. “Almost 600 people attended the event. Over 750 dresses were given away, which is an increase of 50 dresses from last year.” Mazzoni said many teens who left with dresses expressed how they might not have otherwise been able to attend their proms. She said the mother of one recipient called the library “the Santa Claus of prom dresses.”

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 Initiatives (OHI), a federally qualified health center with locations in Ocean County, has been named an el-igible provider in The Veterans Choice program. The Veterans 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. Using this program will not have any impact on existing VA health care or any other VA benefit. 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 appointment at OHI. Those veterans who do qualify should use their Veterans Choice Card, which will allow them to request OHI as their community-based primary health care provider. The Ocean County Veterans Service Bureau, located on the first floor of the Ocean County One-Stop Center, 1027 Hooper Ave., Toms River, can provide additional assis-tance to veterans about obtaining and using their Veterans Choice Card. For more information about OHI, contact Kim-berly 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.
