By Jennifer Peacock What’s 60 feet tall and can help build a house? A sand castle. At least that’s what world-renowned sculp-tor Ed Jarrett and Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity hope (NOHFH). Jarrett and representatives from NOHFH joined with Laurita Winery’s Ray Shea and Randy Johnson to break ground on the “world’s tallest sand castle” at Laurita West (Laurita Inn) April 20. The money raised will go to build a single mom and her two children a home on a donated lot in Toms River. The project has been dubbed “Hands v. Machines.” Although Guinness World Re-

cords has opened up the category to both hand and machine sculpting, Jarrett plans to build his newest creation using all the hands he can get. He is a four-time world record holder for tallest sand castle. “My reputation has always been based on ‘by hand,’ and Guinness World Records after [Hurricane] Sandy changed the rules to allow machines. I’ve been doing this for 12 years,” Jarrett said. “I hold four world records by hand. So we’re going back to the hand, and we actually picked up with Habitat for Humanity and we’re going to be building sand castles, building homes, and building hope. We hope to raise a lot of money for Habitat.”

Volunteers are asked to donate $20.16 to work for the day, or donate $1 a bucket. Jarrett plans to work 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily until the work in completed. Jarrett has 1,800 yards of “sharp sand” from Kenvil, a sand that hardens when mixed with water. The sand is the remains of the Sandy Castle in Point Pleasant and Castle Laurita, a project from last year. Though the tent covering the building site at Laurita West is 60 feet tall, the height to beat is 45 ft 10.25 inches, the record reached last October in Miami, Fla.

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – “No knock” is not a technical term. If you are on your property, and you are on the no-knock registry in Jackson, you may not be approached by solicitors. “It is for the entire property. It doesn’t require you to be in a structure,” municipal attorney Jean Cipriani told a resident at Jackson Council’s April 12 meeting. While the township cannot regulate mail or phone calls, its ordinance provides that persons may not leave fliers on the property either. Solicitors are provided a list by the clerk’s office of every residence on the registry. If they don’t have a list, they are in violation of the town’s solicitation code, Council President Robert Nixon said. Residents should contact Jackson

Residents “Scared” In Spite

Of Stronger No-Knock

Policies

By Catherine Galioto and Jennifer Peacock

JACKSON – Though no longer walking its halls, Bud McCormick is by name at least gracing Jackson Memorial High School’s streets. The Jackson School Board recently agreed to rename an access road as “Bud’s Way,” in honor of the retired, longtime band director. McCormick, who retired in January, saw a massive celebration of current students, staff and alumni turn out for a surprise going-away party with approximately 900 attendees and letters of congratulation from alumni all over the country.

Jackson Memorial

Road Renamed “Bud’s Way”

By Catherine Galioto JACKSON – Several stretches of local roads underwent repairs starting this week, the township announced. Some are county roads projects but others are local drainage work. The list includes: Repairs to North New Prospect Road, between Andover Road and Harfield Drive. The roadwork required a detour through the

Jackson Roads Undergo RepairsHarfield development during 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. approximately. This is a county road department project. Milling and paving to South Stump Tavern Road, another county project. The project was slated to last the entire week, resulting in road closure between 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. through April 29. Drainage work on Henry Street, Lombardi Street and Cozy Lane, will create some in-

convenience for the projects, after April 25. The township posted the roads update on its website recently. The county work was part of a contract for the first road of overlay work this year, awarded back in February. In Jackson, that contract was for 1.15 miles of North New Prospect Road, from Farmingdale Road to Bennetts Mills Road;

as well. The biggest challenge, Director Suzan Fichtner said, is getting the funding for the projects. They hope to raise more than $100,000 for this new home. “We’ve recognized that our success comes from partnerships, collaboration, business-es, people that have a heart for their neigh-bors. It’s easy to just walk with blinders on and be consumed in your own life, but if you stop and really take the time to look around and listen, you’re going to hear that there’s so many people that really need our help,” Fichtner said. “It’s our responsibility as people in our communities to just rec-ognize that housing changes peoples’ lives significantly.” The group works with schools, religious

organizations and businesses for volunteers and donations. For this home the group is building this year, Toms River Township donated the land. “This is bigger than any of us here,” she continued. “I can honestly tell you that the mother and her two children that will be living in this home from this fundraiser, her life will be forever changed.” The mother works two jobs and goes to school. For Shea, he’s delighted that a talented artist like Jarrett has not only teamed up with NOHFH, but is using his creative talents at Laurita. “We just want to put New Egypt and Ocean County on the map this way,” Shea said. For more information on volunteer reg-istration and scheduling, call and leave a voicemail with NOHFH at 732-228-7962 ext. 108.

Soon after, the board of education made a motion “in recognition and appreciation of his many years of enthusiasm, dedication and leadership,” to approve the naming of the high school’s rear access road as “Bud’s Way.” A sign bearing his name was gifted from the Jackson Band Alumni Group. “Under his leadership and during his 32-year career in the Jackson School District, the instrumental music program and the nationally recognized Jaguar Marching Band have been a source of remarkable pride to the district” reads the board’s motion in making the change. McCormick oversaw the band program as its director, with students throughout the years

performed in presidential inaugural parades, the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena, in France for the 50th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy, in the Hula Bowl in Hawaii and at the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade. But there were also accolades for the band in marching band competitions, too. In 2013, Bud was inducted into the National High School Band Director’s Hall of Fame in Columbus Georgia, as well as recognized by the New Jersey Music Educators Association for “distinguished leadership and service.” He has been nominated for “Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers” eight times, and recognized as a VIP leader in education by the Conn/Selmer Corporation of Indiana.

Police for solicitation violations. Evergreen Court resident Elenor Hannum addressed Council with concerns that res-idents feel helpless and forced to sell. She said nothing is being done and residents feel they have no recourse. “We’ve talked about this every meeting for the last year. This town has done a number of things to try to encourage residents to stick together,” Nixon said. “We have given a number of different tools to them to make sure that they can protect their property and quality of life. We certainly talked about some more things about code enforcement and quality of life is not only enforced, but that we have ways to enforce it. “I wish I could talk to everybody in this town, because I give everybody that I talk to the same message: we are a very wonderful, welcoming community. We all stick together, we all follow the same laws. Things are great. We understand that in every community, maybe that doesn’t happen as we would wish. But people just have to have belief that if they don’t want to sell, nobody should push them out of their homes,” he said. Hannum said the voice of the government is not reaching the people, and many of them turn to her and lament they don’t know what to do. Nixon said she should send them his way. Thus far, Nixon said,

anyone Hannum has passed along hasn’t contacted him. According to township clerk Ann Ma-rie Eden, as of April 21, a total of 1,221 households were on the no-knock registry. There are 17,874 residential households in Jackson. “There is nothing more important in this town than our quality of life and ensuring that nobody feels pushed out of their prop-erty or feels intimidated out of their homes,” Nixon said. He added that the governing body has listened to ideas presented to them by res-idents, and will continue to do everything within legal constraints to maintain resi-dents’ quality of life. People are afraid, Cipriani said, and they are looking to the government to fix the problem. The issue is complex and any lack of satisfaction on residents’ parts is not because Council lacks concern or interest, she said. “These are not easy issues, and anybody who suggests that these are simple … is not aware,” Cipriani said. “So I know that it is frustrating, but it is something that is being focused on every da.” Residents can now download and mail or submit via online their application for the no-knock registry. A $1 fee is assessed for decals that must be mailed. Residents can visit jacksontwpnj.net and under “featured news” find the button to the online no-knock registry.

OCEAN COUNTY – Spring’s beautiful dry weather may be a welcome relief after a long cold and wet winter, but there’s a growing danger in the county’s woodlands. The Ocean County Sheriff’s Depart-ment has forwarded to the public a fire warning issued by the National Weather Service and asked residents to be extra cautious outdoors. “Please do not use the land as an ash-tray,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, who is also the county’s director of Law and Public Safety. “Be cautious while smoking and do not throw ciga-rette butts out of car windows.” Kelly said a little “extra vigilance” can prevent forest and brush fires. Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, liaison to the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs, said many new cars no longer come equipped with ashtrays, so smokers are more likely to toss butts out of the window. “If you must smoke, please buy an ashtray or special container for your

Fire Danger Remains Highcar,” he said. “Even a single cigarette can cause a devastating fire and put both residents and emergency responders at risk.” If a fire does ignite, a recent county improvement project will make it easier for firefighters to battle the blaze. The new crosswinds runway at the Robert J. Miller Airpark in Berkeley Township has allowed the state Forest Fire Service to once again station air-craft at the airport. Prior to the runway’s completion in 2014, the Forest Fire Service had re-located its aircraft because of safety concerns of using only a single runway, despite weather and wind conditions. The new second runway allows take-offs and landings no matter which di-rection the wind is blowing. Vicari credited Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr. for leading the successful fight for the second runway. “We made these improvements for the safety of not only Ocean County but for all of Southern New Jersey,” Vicari said.

Opinion & Commentary Letters To The EditorFeatured Letter

It is hard to believe that 46 years have passed since the first Earth Day, April 22, 1970. That event marked the beginning of the modern environmental movement. It also was the launch of what has to be the most successf ul g rass-roots movement in history. Nev-er before, and never since, has one day so galvanized the public and moved gov-ernments at every level, to action. Earth Day also marks the 46th anniversary of the establishment of the New Jersey Department of Envi-ronmental Protection. Cre-ated by Governor William T. Cahill, New Jersey was just the third state in the country to form a depart-ment whose sole mission was to protect, restore, and preserve the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land on which we live. In the nearly f ive de-cades since, under both Republican and Democratic leadership, New Jersey has made enormous progress in undoing the environmental injuries of our state’s past and creating an environ-ment in which our state and our people can thrive. And we have done so while also preserving the prosperity of our state. There are some who think the success of New Jersey’s environmental protection efforts is best measured by how much money we have collected in f ines, how many new regulations we have written, and how

Constitutional conserva-tives who support Ted Cruz for the U.S. Presidency may be making a big mistake that will blow up in their faces. Based on the text and original meaning of the words “natural born” in the U.S. Constitution, Senator Cruz cannot constitution-ally be elected as the U.S. President. “Natural born,” according to the “Law of Nations” by Emer de Vattel, means that you are born on the land of the United States of America. Senator Cruz was born in Canada of an American citizen and therefore is only a citizen, but not “natural born.” Benjamin Franklin, a constitutional convention delegate, in a letter written during the U.S. Constitu-tional Convention indicat-ed that Vattel’s “Law of Nations” was used as the manual for legal terminol-ogy at the convention. This constitutional require-ment is included in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution: “No person except a natural born citizen shall be eligible to the office of President.” This “natural born” restriction was and is intended to pro-tect our nation from foreign

Opening Day should be a time of celebration for baseball fans everywhere, but Comcast continues to deny close to a million of its subscribers access to New York Yankees telecasts on the YES Network.

Autism continues to be a growing problem in Ocean County, the State of New Jersey and the entire nation. A report just issued by the Center for Dis-ease Control found t ha t New Je r sey’s autism rate in chil-dren has jumped 12 percent. Autism now impacts one in every 41 children born in the state. To cal l at tent ion to autism, I recent-ly asked our county employees and fellow elected off icials to wear blue as part of the nationwide “Au-tism Speaks: Light It Up Blue” campaign. But simply calling at-tention to the problem is not enough. I join with our Con-gressional delegation in calling for more and better screenings of young children as well as early inter-vention for those chil-

many employees we have on DEP’s payroll. I do not agree. I believe the best way to measure our progress is by looking at the condition of our air, our water, our land, and our wildlife. These are the best measures of our progress - and across the board, they prove that New Jersey’s environment is in much better shape than it was 46 years ago, and that the health of our environment continues to improve from one Earth Day anniversary to the next. Today, New Jersey has some of the lowest carbon dioxide emissions in the country. Air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, and particulate matter are at their lowest levels in decades. Emis-sions from our own power plants are lower in New Jersey than they are in 45 other states. The acidity of rainfall in New Jersey has almost returned to natural levels and ground level ozone has also declined considerably. New Jersey’s water is significantly cleaner than it was 46 years ago. Nine-ty-eight percent of our community water systems are in compliance with all chemical and radiological standards and we continue to identify and regulate contaminants of emerging concern to ensure public health. New Jersey’s coast-al waters have rebound-ed from the damage done to them in decades past. Last summer, New Jersey’s beaches were open 99.9 percent of the time. And far

more of our lakes, rivers, and streams are fishable and swimmable than they were in 1970. Our state’s land and nat-ural and historic resources are also better protected than ever before. Today, more than 1.5 million acres of New Jersey’s land is permanently protected as open space or farmland. That’s fully 33 percent of our state’s total land area and growing. We have also cleaned up tens of thou-sands of contaminated sites and are now cleaning up such sites at a faster pace than ever before. In the past six years alone, more than 13,000 contaminated sites have been cleaned up and returned to beneficial use. The effect of these suc-cesses is ref lected in the health of New Jersey’s wild-life. Forty-six years ago such birds as wood ducks, falcons, ospreys and egrets were in a steep decline. To-day, all of these birds, and many others, have rebound-ed and their populations are growing. In 1970, about the only place you could see a Bald Eagle in New Jersey was on the back of a quarter or a dollar bill. Today, New Jersey is home to nearly 150 nest-ing pairs of Bald Eagles, scattered across the entire state, and that number is growing every year. And where once animals such as black bears, coyotes, and red foxes were only rarely, if ever, seen in New Jersey, today they are as familiar as squirrels in most parts of our state. Of course, even with all this progress our work is not yet done, and it never will be completed. But on this Earth Day, we have much to be proud of in New Jer-sey. The progress we have made - and the commitment we share to continue that progress - ensures that we are leaving our state’s en-vironment in much better shape than we found it. And that’s worth celebrating.Commissioner Bob MartinNJ Dept. of Environmental Protection

NEW JERSEY – In an effort to further protect children from convicted pedophiles, Assemblyman Ron Dancer has introduced legislation to prohibit sex offenders from holding a positon or participating in a church youth group min-

OCEAN COU NTY – With the start of the busy summer travel and Prom season looming, Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato announced the continuation of the annual countywide DWI check-point program. The program consists of staging numerous check-points throughout Ocean County. The program’s design creates a force mul-tiplier by regionalizing and supplementing local DWI enforcement. The program will also conduct DWI enforcement patrols throughout the county. In making his announce-ment, Prosecutor Coronato reminded drivers that an extra measure of caution and not operating under the influence can prevent tragedy.

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Voca-tional-Technical Schools and county Tourism Direc-tor Dana Lancellotti will be honored by the Mon-mouth-Ocean Development Council on May 5. “I’m very pleased that the MODC recognizes the great work we are doing in Ocean County,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who is liaison to both the Vo-Tech schools and the Department of Business Development and Tourism. Vicari said Ocean County Vo-Tech offers dozens of programs for both high-school and adult students in six facilities scattered

Dancer Bill Extends Megan’s Law Protection istry. “Church youth groups are popular and provide teens with a fun environment where they have the oppor-tunity to socialize, make friends and grow in their faith. Such groups should be a safe haven for youngsters,

not magnets for individuals to prey on the vulnerable,” said Dancer. “The court’s most recent narrow defini-tion puts children at risk. My legislation will protect our children that participate in church ministry youth programs from becoming

the next potential victim of a sex offender.” The bill (A3603) closes a loophole in current law that led a state appellate court to decide that a youth ministry associated with a church is not a youth serving organi-zation as defined under Me-

gan’s Law, which prohibits convicted sex offenders from participating, in a paid or volunteer capacity, in a youth service organization. Under current law, only a sports team, league, athletic asso-ciation, corporation, associ-ation or group that provides

recreational, educational, cultural, social or charitable activities is considered a youth service organization.

Development Council To Honor Tourism Department & Vo-Techsaround the county and at the Ocean County Fire and First Aid Training Academy in Waretown. Under the leadership of Superintendent William P. Hoey Jr., the schools train students for occupations ranging from traditional construction and automo-tive trades to culinary arts, fashion design, health care, computer science, audio-vi-sual skills and environmen-tal science. The exclusive Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Scienc-es is a highly competitive academy that admits the best applicants from the county’s high schools.

Both MATES and the Performing Arts Acade-my have been recognized as National Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence by the US Department of Ed-ucation. “We are very proud of the outstanding opportunities offered by our Vo-Tech Schools,” said Vicari, him-self a lifelong educator. “To compete globally, our students need the best ed-ucation available and our Vocational and Technical Schools are among the best in the nation.” Vicari also had high praise for Lancellotti, who over-sees the county’s role in the largest and economically

important local industry – tourism. “It’s no secret that Ocean County remains a top tourist destination and under Lan-cellotti’s guidance we’ve seen more visitors than ever flock to our beaches, bay and local attractions,” he said. Tourism within Ocean County now generates an astounding $4.6 billion to-wards the local economy, ranking third in the state behind only Cape May and Atlantic counties. Since taking the reins of the newly christened Department of Business Development and Tourism in 2013, Lancellotti has

worked closely with local chambers of commerce and business leaders to promote the county both in the Unit-ed States and Canada. “We are also looking for new markets and new ways to highlight all we have to offer in Ocean County,” Lancellotti said. “We are very fortunate to have not only 44 miles of white san-dy ocean beaches, but also acres of pristine parks and woodlands and first-rate at-tractions such as Six Flags, the Lakewood BlueClaws, the Tuckerton Seaport and so many more.” On the business devel-opment side, Lancellotti has worked closely with

local leaders to protect and promote Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, which as the second largest employer in the state and pumps more than $6.9 bil-lion dollars into the local economy. The MODC is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life and business envi-ronment in Monmouth and Ocean Counties. MODC’s members include hundreds of influential business, com-munity and government leaders. The MODC will pres-ent the annual Silver Gull awards at a special banquet in Farmingdale. Visit modc.com for more information.

DWI Checkpoint Program Continues Prosecutor Coronato stat-ed, “The tremendous added volume of summer shore traffic and all our area High Schools hosting Senior Proms calls for increased vigilance by law enforce-ment, and that will be the focus over the coming months to keep motorists safe. We ask that drivers do their part by driving responsibly and making smart choices behind the wheel every day of the year.” While inattentive and ag-gressive drivers are always targets of law enforce-ments’ regular patrols, the purpose of these efforts is to detect, educate, deter, arrest and vigorously pros-ecute impaired drivers. The program targets those under the influence of al-cohol, but in response to

Ocean County’s drug cri-sis, also utilizes an addi-tion of two Drug Recogni-tion Experts at each check point to detect those under the influence of narcotics. The county also oversees a county wide call out system for DRE’s to re-spond and assist agencies in conducting evaluations of subjects suspected to be operating a motor vehicle under the inf luence of narcotics. Each year impaired driv-ers are responsible for about a third of the deaths occurring on Ocean Coun-ty roadways. Last year, Ocean County had 38 fa-talities on its roadways. Though the county has moved from second high-est in the state for fatalities from a year ago, to now ranking fifth out of the 21

counties, there is no cause for celebration. Even one fatality is too many. The checkpoint program, which is funded in part by the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the New Jersey Division of

Highway Traffic Safety, will be conducted by local police agencies in con-junction with detectives from the Prosecutor’s Of-fice and Sheriff’s Depart-ment K-9 Unit focusing on both intoxicated and

drug impaired dr ivers. The program is coordinat-ed by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Vehicular Homicide Unit under the direction of Supervising Assistant Prosecutor Mi-chael Weatherstone.

By Catherine Galioto LAKEWOOD – The BlueClaws had a ban-ner week, announcing it had broken its record for the most fans in its opening weekend, and that it had reached an agreement with town-ship officials to keep the team in Lakewood for another 40 years. The home opening weekend began April 14, and in the next days at home, 28,847 fans had turned out to FirstEnergy Park. That made it the largest crowds for the first four home games of the season in the 16-year history of the team. The last record was 27,481 fans over the first four games of 2010. “We’re thrilled to open the season with the great atmosphere we’ve had all weekend at the ballpark,” said BlueClaws General Man-ager Chris Tafrow. “The crowds have been great, the weather has been amazing, and can’t wait for more all summer long.” The team said that in its run at FirstEnergy Park, 6.4 million fans have come through the turnstiles to the stadium, which has 6,588

fixed seats, 16 luxury suites, two party decks and a grass picnic area. The Sunday April 16 game, part of the Kids Eat Free promotional day, drew more than 9,100 attendees, one of 13 times in BlueClaws history to have more than 9,000 attendees. Helping the crowds along was a $1 ticket promotion and good weather. A day after the BlueClaws opened at home against Greensboro, the club announced it had reached an agreement with Lakewood Township to extend their lease through 2055. “This is a banner day for the BlueClaws and we are thrilled to be able to stay at FirstEner-gy Park for the foreseeable future,” said team president Joe Finley, in a statement. “The BlueClaws and the Township of Lakewood have had a tremendous relationship over the last 15 years and we look forward to many more great years of BlueClaws baseball in Lakewood.” The BlueClaws, a minor league affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies, debuted in 2001.

JACKSON – The Joker Season Pass Preview and Grand Opening is coming soon. Six Flags Great Adventure will offer season pass holders and active members a special preview to its newest coaster before it opens to the public later in May. The purple and green 4D, free-fly coaster will make its home on the lakefront. Riders will sit in wing seats outside the track to be lifted straight up a 12-story, 90-degree hill. Riders flip head-over-heels at least six times along the seemingly weightless jour-ney. Thrillseekers will experience leaps and dives along a horizontal plane, along with unexpected drops as they tumble from one level to the next. The Joker is included with theme park admission, season pass or active membership. A virtual ride video and con-struction updates are available on the web at sixflags.com/greatadventure and clicking on The Joker link from the home page.

Get an up-close look at 1,200 animals from six con-tinents while riding in style on special Safari Off-Road vehicles. This tour takes place on Mondays in May when the theme park is closed so that bus groups can be escorted close to the loading platform to limit walking. A stop at Camp Aventura half-way through the tour gives groups the chance to stretch, feed a giraffe, see some smaller animals and shop for souvenirs. May 3, 4, 10, 11, 17 and 18: Academic Ad-ventures: Safari Off-Road Education – Six Flags takes students grades K through 6 on a journey in learning with 1,200 animals from six continents through the 350-acre wildlife preserve lead by experienced tour guides. This program is limited to 400 students per day, and tickets are $22.99, plus tax per person. This event must be booked in advance and takes place on exclusive education days when the safari is only open for schools/educational groups – theme park is closed to general public. May 12: Business and Marketing Education Day – For years, Six Flags has invited high school and middle school students to learn about business by bringing them inside the marketing of a theme park. Professionals from different industries are invited to speak to students about all levels of marketing. Each year, Six Flags creates a new challenge that asks students to design a business plan for ev-erything from a new concert or sporting event to marketing non-profits. Participating students compete for theme park tickets. May 14: Cheerfest – Cheerleading and cross-over dance teams can reach for the stars as they compete for trophies and prizes at the 26th An-

The 45-acre water park is one of America’s largest, and features a million-gallon wave pool, one of the coun-try’s longest “lazy rivers,” a two-story family water playground and more than 25 high-speed thrill slides. The park’s signature water slides include the six-slide Big Wave Racer, the giant Tornado and venomous King Cobra. In 2016, Hurricane Harbor will welcome the addition of the all-new Caribbean Cove water play area for families. The water playground will include 55 interactive features including water jets, spray nozzles and a dumping bucket. May 26: Six Flags Great Adventure will begin daily operation May 26.

JACKSON – Fire Official Frank McDonnell of the Jackson Bureau of Fire Safety No. 3 has some tips on handling hazardous household ma-terials during spring cleanup after a long winter. Propane tanks: never store extra fuel under or near your grill; when changing propane tanks, check the hoses and fittings for leaks and breaks; when your grill is not in use, ensure that the propane is turned off and the fire is out and store propane outside the home in a cool dry place with no risk of ignition. Home improvement flammable liquids: never store rags contaminated with flammable solvents such as wood stain, paint stripper and paint remover in a pile, lay them flat to dry or put them in an airtight metal container outside of your home; make sure that all flammable liquids are stored away from ignition sources such as pilot lights, water heaters, electrical appliances and open flames and leave products in their original containers with the contents clearly identified on the label, never store haz-ardous products in food or beverage containers.

Hazardous Household Products Guidelines Gasoline: always keep in mind that gasoline vapors are explosive; never use gasoline around an open flame, while smoking or while creating any kind of spark; store gasoline in approved containers only; do not store or use gasoline in enclosed areas or near pilot lights; never store gasoline in the house, use a detached garage or a shed; do not try to extinguish a gasoline fire with water, water will only spread the fire and do not use gasoline for washing automotive parts, fumes can ignite from an ignition source nearby. Finally, having working smoke alarms in-stalled on every level of your home dramatical-ly increases your chances of survival. Smoke alarm batteries need to be tested every month and changed with new ones at least once a year. Also, replace smoke alarm every ten years, or as the manufacturer guidelines recommend. Con-tact Fire Official Frank McDonnell to receive your free smoke detector at 732-928-1666, ext. 14 or by email [email protected].

FREEHOLD – The Jewish Heritage Mu-seum of Monmouth County, (JHMOMC), 310 Mounts Corner Drive, will show the premier of “Gellman American Dream,” a documentary about the Gellman family created by New Jersey filmmaker Gary Gellman, on May 15, at 3 p.m. The recently produced documentary fea-tures the Gellman family, who has lived

Jewish Heritage Museum To Present Documentary in New Jersey for 110 years. As Jewish immigrant farmers during the first half of the 20th century, they settled in Western Monmouth County and built a business supplying vegetables to the Garden State region. According to Gary Gellman, who is a grandson, four generations of his family are still alive. His oldest living aunt, age

97, is the only one of nine children still alive and a life-long resident of Monmouth County; she hopes to attend the premier of the film. Karin Levy Gellen, Boca Raton, FL, is co-author of “Yesterday,” a Gellman family historical book. Gellen will also be present among other guests. After the premier of the film, Gellman will

explain how families can create their own family history documentary. He will detail the entire process, provide guidance about the creation process and describe how he collected all of the materials necessary to put together the documentary of his fam-ily, from old family movies to newspaper articles. “We recorded interviews with family members in their 80s and 90s, incorpo-rated old film reels, photographs, media publications and created a 30-minute piece that documents our family history,” said Gary Gellman. “Our Jewish history came alive as we produced this documentary and uncovered our fascinating past.” It is remarkable what Jewish farmers needed to do to survive. Gary Gellman, founder of Gellman Im-ages, has been featured nationally more than 500 times in newspapers, magazines and on radio, over the last twenty-seven years. This includes appearing nationally on CBS’s “The Early Show,” ABC’s “Good Morning Las Vegas,” CBS’s “Early Show Indianapolis,” Fox’s “Good Day Phila-delphia,” Action News’ “Early Edition,” NBC’s “10” and News 12’s “Daytime Edition” to discuss the multi-media in-dustry. He has been a featured speaker at conventions in Las Vegas, Philadelphia and Atlantic City. Gellman completed his broadcasting and journalism studies at The College of New Jersey. Reservations for the screening and talk are recommended. Admission is $8 for Mu-seum members and $10 for non-members. For more information or to make a non-re-fundable paid reservation, call the Museum at 732-252-6990 or visit jhmomc.org.

Hearing Health Snap Shot Did you know that your hearing health has a direct effect on your overall health? Some causes can be natural and others would surprise you. It is important to take an empowered, proactive approach to hearing health during every stage of your life. I would sincerely suggest that you read this column several times and share this information with your friends and family.

Risk Factors Hearing loss is about twice as common in people with diabetes compared to those without the disease. Adults with pre-diabetes, whose blood glucose is higher than normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis, have a 30 percent higher rate of hearing loss com-pared to those with normal blood sugar. Current smokers are 1.69 times more likely, or have a 70 percent higher risk to have hearing loss than nonsmokers. Studies have shown that a healthy car-diovascular system has a positive effect on hearing. Conversely, inadequate blood flow and trauma to the blood vessels of the inner ear can contribute to hearing loss.

Hearing Loss In America 1. One in three people over the age of 60 have hearing loss. 2. One in six Baby Boomers (49-68) have hearing loss. 3. One in 14 Generation Xers (37-48) already have hearing loss. 4. One in five teenagers have some type of hearing loss. 5. Hearing aids can reduce the effects

of hearing loss by 50 percentEffects of Hearing Loss

on a Patient’s Life Memory and Hearing Loss: Adults with hearing loss are more likely to develop problems thinking and remembering than adults with normal hearing. Degraded hearing may force the brain to devote too much of its energy to processing sound. Adults with hearing loss develop a significant impairment in their cogni-tive abilities 3.2 years sooner than those with normal hearing. Those with hearing loss experience a 30-40 percent greater decline in thinking abilities compared to their counterparts without hearing loss. Dementia and Hearing Loss: Seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. Adults with moderate hearing loss are 3 times more likely to develop dementia and those with severe hearing loss are 5 times more likely to develop dementia. Mental Health and Hearing Loss: Hearing loss results in social isolation. Adults with untreated hearing loss tend to withdraw from engaging with family and friends. Adults, 50 and older, with untreated hearing loss are more likely to report depression, anxiety, anger and frustration, emotional instability and paranoia, and are less likely to par-ticipate in social activities than those who wear hearing aids. The degree of depression and other emotional or men-tal health issues also increases with the severity of the hearing loss.

10 Tips To Outsmart Allergies

Every spring, some of you voluntarily harm your brain with antihistamines that make you feel like a zombie, or hungover with brain fog. These “first generation” antihistamines make you tired all day too. Allergy symptoms occur because your body releases histamine and leukotriene (and other pro-inflammatory compounds), which lead to runny nose and watery eyes, swelling, con-gestion, a scratchy throat and sneezing. Your goal would be to control those two cytokines and balance immune function. Go to a physician and pay a lot to be told to “avoid triggers” or “move” or “stop eating 40 foods.” Grumble all the way home because you know it’s not possible in your situation. So here’s my top ten list to help you: 1. Vitamin C – It’s a powerful antioxidant that prevents histamine from being made, rather than blocking it’s action at the cell’s doorway like a drug (antihistamine). It also reduces inflammation and helps with im-mune function. 2. Stinging Nettle – This herb is time tested, people who take it occasionally feel a mild diuretic effect. Compounds within the herb include carotenes, vitamin K and quercetin. Dosage varies, you can drink tea or take supplements. 3. Essential Oil of Eucalyptus – Used in steam inhalations or diffused in an aromatiz-er. Eucalyptus opens up your sinuses and air passageways, improving airflow. It contains “citronellal,” which has pain-relieving ben-efits and anti-inflammatory effects making it useful for upper respiratory infections. 4. Salt – Natural, unrefined salt (not table salt) actually has natural antihistamine effects. If you’re having a sneezing fit, or

hay fever attack, put a tiny amount of un-refined salt on the tip of your tongue. Let it absorb, you don’t have to swallow it. Rinse the excess. Another variation of using salt is to drink a little salt-laced water during your attack. Use saline in your Neti pots daily. 5. Bromelain – This pineapple-derived enzyme is sold as a supplement. It reduces swelling as well as mucus production, so it’s particularly helpful for sinus infection. It may thin mucus making it easier for you to breathe. 6. Avoid histamine-forming foods, thus reducing the burden of histamine inside your body. These foods include sausage, smoked meats, chocolate, alcohol, aged cheese, dried foods, fermented foods and nuts. 7. Visit a salt cave – These are amazing, I’ve been inside one in Santa Barbara. They are popping up as the new “spa treatment” across North America. Sitting in a Himalayan salt cave, inhaling ionized air infuses your body with valuable minerals. The particles of sodium chloride may improve allergies and kill fungus. 8. Butterbur – I wrote about this in my Headache Free book. Butterbur acts like the pharmaceutical drug called Singulair, and it inhibits the production of leukotrienes, which trigger swelling in your nasal passages. 9. Propolis – An animal study showed some interesting results. Propolis significantly inhibited histamine release from mast cells. 10. Chlorella – This supplement is a type of algae grown in fresh water often suggested for reducing radiation treatment side effects, stimulating the immune system and increas-ing white blood cell counts. For allergies, chlorella can reduce histamine, and improve interleukin 12 and interferon.

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

Pet SoundsDear Joel, My Dad recently passed away and my Mom is now living alone after 55 years of marriage. Mother is in good health, however she has some very bad days and has nonstop fits of crying. After a while, I don’t know what to say to her. Here is my ques-tion. My sister feels that buying her a dog is a good idea. I have mixed feelings about it. Being that you work with widows and widowers, I thought that you may have some experience.Answer: First of all thank you for writing. I indeed do have a lot of experience working with people who have lost spouses. It’s important to keep in mind that there are many young people who lose spouses and it’s not restricted to people 70 and above. Unfortunately illness does not un-derstand age I will get to the dog part, but first want to address a few things that I hear in your letter. You say that Dad passed away recently but don’t give me an exact amount of time. The rea-son that I say this is that mourning, sadness following a death, are very good healing tools. These are expect-ed after a major loss. If however your mother is having “crying fits” after a year or so, I am a concerned. Lengthy

mourning is not healthy and she may need some help, whether it be reli-gious or psychological. Now to the dog part of your ques-tion. Not knowing her and not be-ing able to ask you more questions makes it difficult to answer. I do not recommend a puppy for people her age. It may be too physically challenging and could be damaging psychologically if she feels like she isn’t doing a good job. Has she had dogs before? If not, there is no way of knowing if she has any interest in having an animal around. My list goes and on. While I person-ally believe that it would be a good idea, this is an example of when I wouldn’t surprise her with an ani-mal. Have a discussion with her and see if she even likes the idea. The last thing she needs is a dog being delivered to her home and then asking for the dog to be removed a week later.

influences and from divided international loyalties. A letter from John Jay to George Washington, the presiding officer of the constitutional convention, sent during the deliberations of the convention urged Washington to persuade the convention to require the president to be a “natural born” citizen to avoid divided loyalties. A person born in another country, argued Jay, might not be totally loyal to the U.S.A. He added that it is dangerous for the commander in chief to have divided loyalties. John Jay later became the first chief justice of the United States. So far every time that a reference has been made in a U.S. Supreme Court decision to “natural born” the words are recognized as being born on the land of the United States of America. The 1795 citizenship law written by James Madison, known as the “father of the constitution,” clearly indicated that citizens born off the land of the U.S.A., such as Cruz, are not “natural born.” Madison wanted to make sure that statutory law on this issue did not conflict with the U.S. Constitution. That is why he had the U.S. Congress adopt a compre-hensive citizenship law that did just that. When I was in public school I was repeat-edly and consistently taught that you must be born within the borders of the U.S.A. to be the president. I was taught the same meaning of “natural born” as an under-gradauate student and later when I earned my Master of Arts degree in politics from

Letters:Continued From Page 7

New York University, I was taught the same. That is what I taught my high school students for 42 years as a U.S. History teacher during our unit on the constitution. In 2008, an aide to Hillary Clinton claimed that presidential candidate Barack Obama could not be elected president be-cause Obama was born in Kenya and there-fore was not “natural born.” The Obama campaign, recognizing that being born in Kenya would bar him from being elected president, produced a birth certificate in-dicating that Obama was born in Hawaii. The point is that as late as the last two presidential elections it was recognized that you had to be born in the U.S.A. to be elected president. Hillary Clinton can challenge Cruz’s right to be elected president even as late as the approach of the meeting of the electoral college after the November elections. The constitutional conservatives on the U.S. Supreme Court most likely would rule that Cruz is ineligible to be U.S. President and the leftists could vote the very same way in order to get a president who would appoint more liberal justices. If such a Clinton challenge is upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, constitutional conservatives who are supporting Cruz would regret their votes for Cruz. Cruz would render a great service to their cause by acknowledging that he is ineligible to be elected president and then become the best choice to be the next conservative judge on the U.S. Supreme Court.Jim FulcomerSeaside Park

OCEAN COUNTY – “As the weather gets warmer, the days get longer, more people enjoy being outside. We know that as the weather improves, it will not take long for the mosquito season to officially arrive,” said Ocean Coun-ty Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) public health co-ordinator said, “Right now is the time to get outside and look around your property for any standing water where any type of mosquito can breed. Pres-ently, many are focused on Zika Virus. The people in New Jersey who have developed this had visited one of the affected countries by Zika. The OCHD is in constant communication with the New Jersey Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding this issue, and most cer tainly will keep the public updated. In addition, there are other mosquito-borne illnesses that we focus on, such as West Nile Virus.” Regenye added, “This means we need to take every possible step that we can to avoid mosquito bites. There are so many places on one’s property that standing water can exist even something as small as a bottle cap. An important part of mosquito control around your home is making sure that mosquitoes don’t have a place to lay their eggs. Take advantage

Mosquito Control Tipsof the upcoming warm weather as we move toward summer to: Get rid of standing water in rain gut-ters, old tires, buckets, plastic covers, toys or any other container where mos-quitoes can breed. Empty and change the water in bird baths, fountains, wading pools, rain bar-rels and potted plant trays at least once a week to eliminate potential mosquito habitats. Drain temporary pools of water or fill with dirt. Make sure windows, doors and door screens are “bug tight,” and there are no holes in the screens. Keep swimming pool water treated and circulating. Replace outdoor lights with yellow “bug” lights, which tend to attract fewer mosquitoes than ordinary lights. The yellow lights are not repellents, however. Use the following tips to help protect against exposure to mosquitoes: Use EPA-registered insect repellents when necessary and follow label direc-tions and precautions closely. Do not use on babies under two months. Do not apply on a child’s hands, eyes, mouth or irritated skin. Tuck shirts into pants and pants into socks to cover gaps in clothing where mosquitoes can get to skin. Use mosquito netting over baby car-riages and stroller. Visit the OCHD website at ochd.org.

NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial will hold a Remembrance Day Ceremony on May 7 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., 1 Memorial Lane, Holmdel, Exit 116 off the Garden State Parkway. Marie Liston, the sister of a WWII Navy Seaman who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor, will accept a medal on her brother’s behalf. Neil Lucey was just 18 years-old when he joined the United States Navy. He reported for duty March 12, 1940. Just 19 months later he would lose his life at Pearl Harbor, two days after his 20th birthday. His body is one of 1,177 en-tombed in the USS Arizona. Now, 75 years later, Neil’s sister will accept a medal on his behalf during a Remembrance Day ceremony at the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Foundation on May 7. Marie Lucey Liston is 101 and lives in Brick, NJ. She was born in 1914 in New York City and is the oldest of five children. Her mother died in childbirth in 1924 and the siblings were sent to live with relatives in Perth Amboy. Their father, Timothy Lucey, worked for the railroad and would visit when he could.

– Photo courtesy New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial FoundationNeil “Buddy” Lucey was killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Sister Of WWII Soldier To Receive Medal During Ceremony The death of Neil, who was nicknamed “Buddy,” was hard on the family. The first communication from the US Navy came on December 20, 1941, and in-formed the family that Neil was missing in action while the search for survivors at Pearl Harbor continued. The official death notice came on Jan-uary 30, 1942 when it was determined that Neil had been one of those lost on the USS Arizona on December 7, 1941 after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. He was awarded a Purple Heart post-humously for his valiant service as a Seaman First Class with the Navy. Neil was the first person killed in ac-tion from Perth Amboy in WWII. The city dedicated a park in his name and the park was renovated and rededicated in 2000. Gordon Pingicer is on the board of the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memori-al Foundation, and is Marie’s son-in-law. “This medal means so much to the family,” Pingicer said. “Just the recog-nition that New Jersey gives to people who served is very significant.” Remembrance Day was created by leg-islation in 1991 as a day in New Jersey to honor those who served in the military during the Vietnam War from 1959 to 1975. More than 200,000 New Jersey residents served in the armed forces during that time. Visit njvvmf.org for more information.

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.

In order to qualify for the Home Borrowers 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 Borrow-ers Service Customer Application. You must submit a basic Medical Verifica-tion Form stating that you cannot physically visit the library.

The Interaction Between Workers’ Compensation And A State Disability Pension

As you may be aware, if you are injured while working, as a result of an occupational exposure, or a specific traumatic event, you are statutorily permitted to file for workers’ compensation benefits. In addition, if you are in a position that you are involved in the State pension system, you may be entitled to an accidental or ordinary disability pension. Generally, if you are involved in a traumatic event at work that ultimately deems you unable to perform your duties any longer, you may be entitled to an accidental disability pension. There is no minimal time of employment to be eligible for this pension. The jurisdiction as to whether you are disabled from your job duties as a result of the traumatic event rests with the Division of Pensions. However, the accidental disability pension may entitle you to in excess of 70 percent of your wages and family health benefits. However, if you are approved for an acciden-tal disability pension, there is a direct dollar for dollar offset for any workers’ compensation benefits you receive. This is to say, you may still file for workers’ compensation benefits, and may be entitled to benefits pursuant to same, but your pension benefits will be re-duced by any recovery made. This, in fact, does not decrease your financial benefits, but merely may change from whom the money is received. However, the law is different when a person involved in the State pension system is ap-proved for an ordinary disability pension and that person also has an injury with permanent

residuals in the course of his or her employ-ment. In most cases, in order to be considered for an ordinary disability pension, you will have had to be in the State pension system for 10 years. This also may only provide a pension benefit of approximately 43 percent of your salary. As in the accidental disability pension, the decision as to whether you are disabled from your job duties rests with the Division of Pensions. In New Jersey, there is a long standing public policy against double recoveries for the same injuries. In New Jersey, an injured employee may receive an ordinary disability pension and workers’ compensation benefits. However, the workers’ compensation benefits may be subject to a dollar for dollar offset for pension benefits. However, an ordinary disability pension is generally not the result of one traumatic event that deems the worker unable to perform his or her duties, but generally is the result of nu-merous and varied disabilities that may or may not be work related, or related to the workers’ compensation injury. As such, there only exists an offset for those injuries incorporated in the approval of the disability pension and are specifically involved in the claim for workers’ compensation. In converse, the disabilities unrelated to workers’ compensation then are not included in the calculation of the offset. As you can see, your choice as to whether to pursue workers’ compensation benefits when eligible for either disability pension is a diffi-cult and law sensitive decision that should be reviewed with an attorney in depth.

OCEAN COUNTY – The Island Sing-ers Community Chorus will perform its Spring Concert, “What A Water-Ful World” at four different venues in Ocean County beginning on June 4.

Island Singers Schedule Spring Concerts


ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you break enough rules eventually that rule is replaced. Until then you must yield to the pressure to conform and stick to what you know best. Seek the sound advice of friends or partners in the week ahead.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Good manners make the man. Your interest in a variety of unusual subjects can earn you the friendship or admiration of less adventurous souls. Be content to stick to the conventional route in the upcoming week.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A tendency to wallow in self-indulgence could put you in the doghouse as this week unfolds and cause others to criticize. Bypass social exchanges and keep your nose to the grindstone until the atmosphere shifts.CANCER (June 21-July 22): False starts may occur when too many people wave a checkered flag. This isn’t a good week to give in to romantic notions or to let mixed signals deter you from your goals. Creative activities provide suitable outlets.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Ambition may not be your aim this week. True friendship and mutual appreciation is gender neutral. You may meet someone who has your best interests at heart but physical attraction isn’t part of the equation.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When the oil-can is within reach it is easier to tend to squeaky wheels. Focus on fixing problems within the home and family in the week to come. Use wisdom and generosity to handle intense inter-personal situations.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): People can be

nourished by your energy without draining it. Once stirred by your example someone could go to great lengths to imitate your unconven-tional methods this week. Prevent a friend from burning bridges.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your partners may throw caution to the winds in the week to come. Be a good friend and act as a restraining influence. Getting wrapped up in complicated schemes to protect your future security could drain resources.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be late if you procrastinate. In the week to come you could lose out on opportunities because you take too much time to prepare for public appear-ances or meetings. Be proud of your plethora of experience.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Getting ahead requires persistence and relentless am-bition. In the week to come you may feel less under pressure and can relax to enjoy the fruits of your labors. Your social life may revolve around the home.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Traditional values will keep you afloat when new ideas flood in. Your friends and partners may stray from the herd and tempt you to discard conventions. A sur-prising message might brighten the week ahead.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you don’t stand for something you might fall for anything. It is easy to echo the opinions of your friends just so you appear to fit in. Make a statement this week by concentrating on achieving real-istic goals.

Wolfgang Puck’s kitchen

By Wolfgang Puck I’d like to share a recipe that makes the most of the offerings you’d find in your local farmers’ market: an egg white omelet with farmers’ market vegeta-bles. It features an assortment of produce: asparagus, baby spinach, mushrooms, tomato, avocado, watercress , and a touch of fresh serrano chile pep-per. But you could substitute whatever other vegetables that you might prefer. Egg white omelets have be-come very popular in recent years among people who want to cut down on fat but still get lots of healthy protein. If you want a touch of f lavor and golden color without too much additional fat, substitute an egg yolk for one of the whites called for in the ingredients list. I generally like to cook one omelet at a time, though you could also prepare a larger om-elet in a larger pan for two, three or four people, cutting it into individual portions after cook-ing. Either way, you’ll find that the recipe takes just minutes to prepare. I cook most of the vegetables quickly in a l it tle olive oil, drain off excess liquid (a must if you’re including spinach), and then mix them in with the eggs before cooking the omelet. The remaining vegetables, un-cooked, become garnishes and a simple salad to accompany the eggs. The combination satisfies greatly, whether you serve the omelet for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner and at any time of year!

EGG WHITE OMELET WITH FARMERS’ MAR-

KET VEGETABLES Serves 1

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil3 large cultivated mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced1 spear asparagus, trimmed, cut diagonally into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick

2 ounces baby spinach leaves (about 2 cups packed), plus 1 ounce for serving1/2 to 1 tablespoon ser rano chile, chopped, seeded and de-veined5 large cage-free egg whites 2 tablespoons f reshly grated Parmesan cheese Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) tomato, diced and seeded Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a heavy medium nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms and asparagus and saute, stir ring constantly, for about 2 minutes. Add 2 ounces of spinach and the serrano chile; saute brief ly, just until the spin-ach wilts. Transfer to a sieve set over a bowl. Press to release excess liquid. Pour the egg whites, Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste into another container or bowl. With an immersion blender or a wire whisk, blend the whites until smooth and frothy. Stir in the drained sauteed vegetables. Over high heat, add 1 to 2 ta-blespoons more oil to the skil-let. Add the egg white mixture. Shake the pan back and forth, stir r ing with the back of the fork to scramble lightly, about 1 minute. Spread half of the to-matoes across the center. Cook until the egg whites are opaque and gently set, about 1 minute longer. With the fork, fold the near edge of the omelet in towards the center and over the filling. Fold the far edge in over the center. Slide or push the omelet toward the far end of the skillet. Grip the handle f rom underneath. With your f ree hand, hold a plate almost vertically near the skillet. Tilt the skillet and move the plate underneath to roll the omelet onto the plate. Arrange the remaining spinach and tomato around the omelet, garnish with parsley and sea-son with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

OCEAN COUNTY – Jersey Central Power and Light is cont inu ing it s 2016 tree trimming program to help maintain proper clearances around electrical equipment and help prevent tree-related damage. The work is part of JCP&L’s approximately $28 million t ree t r im ming prog ram schedu led for this year along some 3,400 miles of JCP&L lines across its 13-county service area in northern and central New Jersey. “Tree trimming played an important role in the greatly enhanced service reliability our customers experienced over the past two years,” said Antho-ny Hurley, JCP&L vice president of Operations. “In 2015, we saw an 11 percent decrease in tree-related outag-es compared to the previous year. It’s important that we continue implement-ing tree trimming practices that help reduce the frequency and duration of power outages.” JCP&L’s tree trimming program is conducted by certif ied forestry con-tractors under the company’s direction. As part of the notif ication process, JCP&L works with municipalities to inform them of vegetation management schedules. In addition, customers liv-ing in areas along company rights-of-way are notif ied prior to work being performed. To further decrease tree-re-

lated outages, JCP&L’s foresters also are working to educate residents who live near company equipment about the importance of properly maintaining the trees on their own property. During April, forestry contractors are doing tree work in Ocean Coun-ty including: Borough of Bay Head, Boroug h of Beachwood , Berkeley Township, Brick Township, Borough of Island Heights, Jackson Township, Lacey Township, Lakehurst Township, La kewood Tow n sh ip, Ma nches t e r Township, Borough of Point Pleasant, Plumsted Township, Township of Toms River and Borough of South Toms River. JCP&L’s tree program includes in-specting vegetation near the lines to ensure trees are pruned in a manner that helps preserve the health of the tree, while also maintaining safety near electric facilities. Trees that present a danger or are diseased may also be removed. JCP&L, a FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) subsidiary, serves 1.1 million New Jersey customers in the counties of Burlington, Essex, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren.
