By Daniel Nee BEACH HAVEN – As borough officials deal with the aftermath and expenses of a January nor’easter, the borough is still closing out numerous projects related to Superstorm Sandy recovery, and expects to be reimbursed an additional $2.7 million. “There are still quite a few projects that have not been closed out,” said Borough Manager Richard S. Crane. “We have prob-ably about 14 projects now that are on the cusp of being closed out.” So far, Beach Haven has received $1.7 million in reimbursements from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and $1.33 million from its insurance carrier. The additional funding would go toward the numerous ongoing projects, including the administrative costs borne by the municipal government – primarily the money owed to Louis Berger Group, an engineering and consulting company that has managed the borough recovery efforts. While the additional reimbursements were welcomed by borough officials, the delay

Beach Haven Expects Additional $2.7M In Sandy Reimbursements

By Daniel Nee LACEY – The Nuclear Regulatory Com-mission has determined the Oyster Creek Generating Station was “operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives,” according to the federal government’s Annual Assessment Letter, which was released March 7. The letter also formally closed a “yellow finding” levied against the plant in 2015 over faulty electromagnetic release valves in the facility, a design issue, the NRC’s report said. The “yellow” finding is one of the most severe under the NRC’s color coding system which was introduced in 2000. The severity of findings of the system range from green to red. Yellow is the second- most-severe of the four color codes used, representing a “substantial safety significance,” according to the NRC. Beginning in 2014, the NRC found during inspections that two of five vales used to relieve pressure from reactor may not have

OCEAN COUNTY – Whether you are digging in the sand, poking between the grass or hunting with a flashlight, there’s Easter eggs to find. Here’s a calendar of some local Easter egg hunt events for the coming weeks, so grab your basket and get hunting.

portion of town. Altogether, the dump trucks dropped about 2,500 tons of sand. “You’d be surprised how little one dump load of sand goes,” Crane said. The loads of sand cost the borough about $35,000, a cost that will be reimbursed by

functioned correctly in an emergency sit-uation. The vales were quickly repaired, plant officials said. In addition to the valve issue, the NRC has closed a “white finding,” a less se-vere safety issue, that was also found in 2014. During an inspection in July 2014, the NRC found that a belt which runs an emergency backup diesel generator had been installed too tightly, resulting in a drive shaft being sliced in half. Those

Young in the competition. Despite the loss, Gianna had a message for her supporters on her Facebook page, posted just hours after her exit from the show. “So happy to say I made top ten! Although I did not make top eight, that’s okay! I am not sad at all I’m grateful and super ecstatic to have had this chance to be on such a legendary show so much fun singing in front of three amazing judges and singing with Demi Lovato today! What a crazy journey this has been. It takes a ton of No’s until you get that one yes and make all of your dreams come to life. I am only going up from here, no regrets and no looking back. I owe a huge thank you to American Idol within the amount of time I’ve been

on the show I can really tell how much I have grown,” Gianna wrote. “Vocally, stage prescience wise, and so many others ways. I learned to always stay optimistic and happy because if you are sad it won’t change the situation all I have to say is a ton of more music is coming your way.” Her schedule was jam packed the follow-ing day with appearances and interviews across Los Angeles. Hours after her Face-book post, she took to social media again, this time with a video, to thank her fans for sending their well wishes, but assuring them she’s okay. “A lot of you have been saying you’re sorry and you’re sad and stuff. Please don’t be sad. There’s nothing to be sad about,” she said. “I just wanted to thank you for always supporting me.” She said it was “insane” that she even made it into the top, especially being only

15 years old.Reports across social media the previous weak pegged her performance as “shaky,” as pointed out by judges Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr. While she was warned to stay away from comments on social media sites, Gianna said she does read them and has a message for her haters. “Many people have told me to not read comments, or tweets, etc. because they are not always going to be kind. I read them regardless and I know I shouldn’t say something but recently I’ve seen a lot of people saying ‘She shouldn’t be in the show,’ ‘Kick her off,’ ‘She can’t sing.’ I would just like to say in a very mature kind manner that I work extremely hard at what I do. I love singing and I am human, I will not always have amazing performances but that just shows you I am human,” she wrote.

The dream is very much alive, she said. “I am beyond blessed to even be at top ten in this competition but I intend on pushing myself harder and harder each week to make it farther. Your negative comments will make me work harder and the positive one make me love what I do. To those who say I don’t belong in this competition I will prove to you I do belong in this competition and I love what I do. I will show you how much this dream means to me and how badly I want to make it reality,” she said. Gianna, a student at Jackson Memorial High School, made it clear at her farewell pep rally in February that she plans to stay in L.A. to pursue a music career. This is Idol’s final season. The top 8 contestants the remain are Young, Dalton Rapattoni, La’Porsha Renae, Lee Jean, MacKenzie Bourg, Sonika Vaid, Trent Harmon and Tristan McIntosh.

problems were fixed during a scheduled maintenance period. Though the most serious findings were closed, the Oyster Creek facility will still be monitored for compliance with orders issued by the NRC after the Fukushima Daishi nuclear disaster in Japan in 2011. The assessment letter found that Oyster Creek had been issued two “traditional violations” in this area. One violation “involved the use of an analytical method to determine core operating limits without prior NRC approval,” the letter said, and the other was over incomplete reports on

“secondary containment integrity.” Going forward, the NRC will conduct an audit on the plant’s compliance with post-Fukushima orders, specifically, that the plant has a reliable means of remotely monitoring wide-range spent fuel pool levels in the event of an emergency, and that plant officials have developed strat-egies to maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities in an emergency situation. The plant is due to close in 2019 under an agreement forged between the adminis-tration of Gov. Chris Christie and Exelon,

the plant’s owner. The plant, the nation’s oldest, had been licensed through 2029, but was facing pressure by the state De-partment of Environmental Protection to install cooling towers to limit the amount of water drawn from Barnegat Bay. In addition to providing about 650 jobs, the plant also represents a significant por-tion of the totality of Lacey Township’s tax base. Officials have said the tax value of the plant is legislatively protected, since it will remain active for between 10 and 20 years after 2019 while it is dismantled.

My wife and I just visited the WWII Veterans Memo-rial Park in Whiting and I must say that who ever de-signed this memorial did an outstanding job in honoring those that served in WWII. I don’t how visitors no-ticed, but we did, there isn’t any memorial honoring the women who served in WWII. Over the years I have met a number of women who have served, and like the men, they had buddies that were killed and injured. Women played important roles during WWII, both at home and in uniform. Women worked in defense plants and volunteered for war related organizations. Nearly 350,000 women served in uniform. General Eisenhower felt he could not win the war without the aid of the women in uniform. Women served and died, some were captured and were POWs. More than 1,600 nurses were decorated for bravery. In the Pacific Theater, 565 WACs won combat decorations. We need to recognize the contribution that women played in WWII victory. We need a memorial at the park honoring all those women that served in WWII.Jerry DolanWhiting

The letter “What Is The President’s Legacy?” print-ed February 20, 2016 could not have been more wrong. The letter faults President Barack Obama with the divisiveness in Washing-ton. It was Senator Mitch McConnell who stated at the beginning of President Barack Obama’s term that he was going to make him a one term president. The current Republican Party is well documented with re-moving any member who is willing to compromise on legislation. The presumed successor to John Boehner, Eric Cantor, was probably the biggest example of that viewpoint. President Barack Obama came into office when the country was in chaos. The country was in the Great Recession, involved in two wars, millions of Ameri-cans had no healthcare and others were denied health-care due to preexisting conditions. The debt was at ten trillion dollars from a surplus eight years prior, and it was on a projection to continue into the future. Medicare was projected to be running a deficit by 2016. If President Barack Obama violated the Constitution as the writer states, all anyone has to do is sue to the Su-

This is in response to the February 13 letter regard-ing the origin of moral values. The writer alleges that morality is based upon human experience, and not from a belief in God and the Bible. However, he is correct that moral values “blossomed in the human heart…before the advent of Christ.” But the ques-tion arises, where did they originally “blossom” from? Why do we value the vir-tues of morality? Because they are part of God’s char-acter. If someone doesn’t believe in God, why do they believe in human rights? If you just feel that there should be human rights, then where do these non-physical feelings come from? Even evolutionists are at a loss to explain where the conscience and moral values came from. You can deny God all you want, but your conscience is always bearing witness, and there is no escape from what is real—the God who is real. Denial offers only a brief postponement of the inevitable. With our God-given morality, we judge (and punish) those who do not abide by the virtues of our Creator, as God will do as well to those who rebel against His rules. Opinions and belief don’t change reality, or make people “less moral”—they just make them account-able.Charles HenkeBrick

A History Lesson For Liberals

headlights. They just don’t comprehend danger. But, let’s try. The economic crisis was not caused by greedy bil-lionaires or Wall Street. It began with the government program in the Carter Ad-ministration and was su-per-charged in the Clinton Administration. President Carter admi-rably promoted the HUD program building homes for those who could not afford them. What he failed to realize was that many of the recipients of those homes would not be able to afford the homes’ maintenance and upkeep. Much of the tax money ended up being wasted as many homes fell into disrepair. Continuing with promot-ing the “American Dream” of home ownership, Pres-ident Clinton, in 1999, re-pealed a 1933 law that kept risky loans from being cou-pled with those considered sound. He then pressured banks to relax their lending requirements so that those who had been considered unqualified could be ap-proved for loans on homes the banks knew they could not afford to pay back. Clin-ton threatened the banks to make the loans or suffer government retaliation in the form of penalties. The banks complied. In or-der to save themselves from sure destruction, the banks coupled loans they previ-ously would not have ap-proved with those that were more secure, and sold these as investment packages all over the world. Eventually,

as the banks predicted, the bad loans went unpaid causing a worldwide crisis. President Bush foresaw the problem and tried to modify the government program several times, but was stymied by a Democrat Congress. So, when you hear that mind-numbing phrase “It’s Bush’s fault,” know that it is not; just as it is not the fault of greedy billionaires or Wall Street. The crisis was caused by short-sighted politicians that ignored the advice of professionals and thought themselves to be economic or military geniuses. Vote wisely.Joseph SemiraroBayville

MacArthur Protects Disaster Survivors, Holds FEMA Accountable

NEW JERSEY – Con-gressman Tom MacArthur announced that the three

year FEMA recoupment statute of limitations from his first bill, the Disaster Assistance Fairness and Accountability Act, has been included in the FEMA Disaster Assistance Reform Act of 2015, which passed the House on February 29.

MacArthur’s provision was designed to hold FEMA accountable and prevent them from trying to “re-coup” money from innocent taxpayers. The three year statute of limitations on recoupment was included in Congressman MacAr-

thur’s first bill, the Disaster Assistance Fairness and Accountability Act. After its introduction, MacArthur pushed the Transportation and Infrastructure Com-mittee to include the three year statute of limitations in the final FEMA reautho-

rization. This inclusion will prohibit FEMA from re-couping disaster assistance three calendar years after the payment was made. “This provision is a step in the right direction to protect natural disaster victims from recoupment years after their

claims have been received. I am extremely pleased our protections for homeowners and disaster victims have passed the U.S. House of Representatives, giving fam-ilies in New Jersey one less thing to worry about on the long road to recovery.”

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Household Hazardous Waste Collection program will make its first stop in Stafford Township on April 16. “This continues to be a very popular program with Ocean County residents,” said Free-holder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management. “I am happy we can offer it again this year. It provides benefits to not just our citizens, but also the environment.” Last year, the county col-

Household Hazardous Waste Collection Dates Setlected 271,842 pounds of household hazardous waste at a cost of $107,921. The program is funded in part by State Recycling Enhance-ment Act Tax Fund. “This free program, which got started in 1989, provides an avenue to get rid of items like paints, paint thinner and cleaners, properly and safely, keeping the material from entering our waterways and our preserved lands,” Little said. The program will run once a month from April to Oc-tober and is held at different

collection sites throughout the county. “We work to make certain this program is accessible to our residents,” Little said. “It is held in towns, both large and small, and citizens in any Ocean County town can attend any site.” The first dates, times and locations for the 2016 col-lection are: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., April 16 at the Stafford Township Public Works Ga-rage, 320 Haywood Road; 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., May 14, Manchester Township Public Works Garage, 1360 Route

70 and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., June 11, Toms River Township Public Works Garage, 1672 Church Road. While the program is free, registration is required. To register for the Man-chester collection site, call 732-367-0802; for the Toms River Township site, call 732-506-5047 and for Staf-ford Township, call 609-978-0913. Municipal recycling centers and the county’s recycling centers allow for drop off of a host of materials including used paint, motor oil and car

batteries. “Our residents should check with us or their local recy-cling center to determine what is accepted year-round eliminating the need to store them in their home,” Little said. Residents can drop off a maximum of 200 pounds of dry material and 20 gallons of liquid at the county’s household hazardous waste collection sites. No contain-ers over five gallons will be accepted. Materials accepted at the household hazardous waste

collection sites are: paints, thinners, boat paints, sol-vents, pool chemicals, pesti-cides and herbicides, aerosol cans, auto products, toilet and drain cleaners, silver polishes, oven cleaners, pho-tographic chemicals, rug and upholstery cleaners, polishes and bleaches, waste oil and used gasoline. Little noted that additional dates, times and locations will be announced in the near future. The information can be found on the county web-site at co.ocean.nj.us or by calling 800-55-RECYCLE.

NEW JERSEY – With the start of the Major League Baseball season only weeks away, two Ocean County Freeholders are calling on Comcast to settle its dispute with the YES Network in time for opening day. Comcast removed the YES Network from its channel lineup late last year after it failed to reach a pricing agreement with the cable channel that broadcasts most New York Yankees games. Freeholder Deputy Di-rector Gerry P. Little and Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who is Chairman of the Department of Consumer Affairs, penned a letter to state Board of Public Utili-ties President Richard Mroz encouraging the BPU to

Freeholders Intervene In Comcast, YES Network Disputeintervene and help settle the dispute. “As you are probably aware, Comcast and the YES Net-work remained gridlocked about the cost of providing the cable channel to cus-tomers in Ocean County and other regions of the state. Lost in this corporate strug-gle are the millions of base-ball fans who will not be able to tune into Yankees games when the season begins on April 4,” the freeholder said in the letter. Comcast officials have argued the cost of providing the channel is too high and that Yankees games are not popular enough with its cus-tomers to warrant the cost. The freeholders disagreed. “Too often Comcast com-

plains about costs and turns its back on its customers. We have heard nothing from Comcast about how the loss of the YES Network will impact its millions of customers, including senior citizens, who depend on the games for entertainment,” Little and Vicari said in the letter. “The cable company is always quick to raise rates or fees, but then plays the poor victim when the YES Network demands a bigger piece of the pie. We also note that since the YES Net-work was removed from the channel lineup last year, the cost reduction has not been passed down to customers.” Little and Vicari said that Comcast frequently tops the most disliked companies in

America list in large part because of its poor customer service. “I challenge Comcast offi-cials to come to Toms River, to Brick, to Berkeley, to Manchester and tell its cus-tomers that Yankees games are not popular,” Vicari said.

“This county, especially the northern half, is Yankees Country.” Little suggested the cable company may be out of touch with the needs of its Ocean County customers. “Comcast offers countless channels – some of them

in foreign languages - that might have limited appeal to many viewers and no way to fully customize what a cus-tomer purchases,” he said. “It’s past time for Comcast to listen to the rate payers and return the YES Network before Opening Day.”’

LACEY – Police Chief David Paprota released the following details about recent incidents of criminal mischief and theft. Distribution of Heroin – On February 26 at 2:31 a.m., Lacey Police received a call from the Wawa at Route 9 South and Taylor Lane in Forked River, reporting a drug transaction in the women’s bathroom. A description was provided of two suspects who walked south on Route 9 after the transaction and two others who drove away in a vehicle. The vehicle was located by Officer Scott Keefe who conducted a motor vehicle stop on Route 9 near Lakeside Drive South while Officer Christopher Meyler located the two subjects who were walking south along Route 9. A search at the subse-quent motor vehicle stop revealed a pill bottle containing approximately 40 Oxycodone pills without a prescription and a pill bottle with approximately 23 Xanax bars without prescription. As a result of the investigation, it was determined that the Heroin transaction took place in the Wawa bathroom immediately prior to the police interaction with all of the involved persons. Shoplifting – On February 29 at 5:35 p.m., Officers Jesse Dalziel and Charles May responded to Kohl’s, 304 Route 9 North in Forked River, for a report of shoplifting. The loss prevention employee reported that two female juveniles selected approximately 47 pieces of merchandise from the cosmetics and jewelry section of the store and brought them into the dressing room. When the juveniles exited the dressing room the merchandise was no longer visible. Upon checking the dressing room the loss prevention employee located empty merchandise packaging. The juveniles were stopped when they attempted to leave the store without paying for the concealed items. The juveniles were transported to Lacey Township Police Headquarters where they were processed and charged. The 16-year-old juvenile shoplifted 27 items valued at $813.64 and 15-year-old juvenile shoplifted 20 items

valued at $813.20. The juveniles were turned over to the custody of their parents.

Fire Safety For Those With Hearing Loss There are 11 million deaf or hard of hearing Americans who cannot rely on traditional sound-oriented smoke detectors and therefore are at a disadvantage. Decreased hearing can limit a person’s ability to take quick action and escape during a fire emergency. Those with hearing loss need to take extra precautions to protect themselves from the hazards of home fire. This includes being aware of the availability of flashing and/or vibrating smoke alarms and having an effective escape plan in place. Have the proper alerting system: Smoke detectors are not doing their job if you cannot hear them. Consider the following statistics: 20 percent of home fires occur between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., yet these fires account for more than half of all home fire deaths. Something to keep in mind: most smoke detectors pro-duce a relatively high frequency (3000 kHz) sound. Recent studies have revealed that this frequency is not particularly effective in wak-ing up children, heavy sleepers, those taking sleeping pills or other medication and those who have had too much to drink. In addition, high frequency alarms are almost completely ineffective in alerting people with high fre-quency hearing loss, accounting for about 90 percent of people with hearing loss and all deaf people. Install a flashing or vibrating smoke alarm on every level of your home. Test all

smoke alarms monthly and change the batteries at least once a year. People with hearing loss are at greater risk from night time fires because their hearing instruments are typically out of their ears when sleeping. Not all alerting devices meet every need but some do come close. The ideal device would not only sound an alarm but also flash a light and vibrate the bed. This would alert the three most important senses simultaneously. There are a great number of smoke detectors designed specifically for those with a hearing impairment. Light-tone HL bedside fire alarm and clock alerts you by sounding a loud low frequency and vibrating the bed. The combina-tion of the low frequency alarm sounding and the bed shaking wakes even heavy sleepers. Silent call makes great alerting systems that work with more than just smoke detectors. Plan your escape: An important tip is not to isolate yourself. Inform family members, the building manager or a neighbor of your fire safety plan and practice it with them. Contact your local fire department on a non-emergency phone number and explain your special needs. They can help with your escape plan, perform a home inspection and offer suggestions about smoke alarm placement. They can also keep your information on file. For more information about fire safety, visit usfa.fema.gov.

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

I Know About This SchoolDear Joel, I have a son who has learning and behavior issues. It has been suggested to me that he attend a therapeutic school. I have been doing my research and am terrified by the price per year. There is no way that I can afford even a year of that education. Additionally what I am finding out is that many of these schools are located on the West Coast. Any suggestions?Answer: Every child in New Jersey is entitled to an education. There are therapeutic schools throughout the entire country. Some of the schools can cost $100,000 including room and board.Virtually no one can afford those high dollar amounts. You must start with the guidance counselor at school. Ask if the principal can be present at the meeting as well. Do not be surprised if

you are met with resistance. The school districts do not like to shell out any extra monies for any student. You may have to meet with the school board in your district. Depending upon where you live, it can be just a battle to a full blown war. If it gets to be very difficult, there are attor-neys who specialize in getting students extra funding for their special needs. If you need further help please do not hesitate to write me.

Natural Alternatives To Antibiotics

Some of you take several antibiotics each and every day, while some of you avoid them like the plague. The pros of a traditional antibiotic is that you can keep your infection from achieving full-blown status, or as some experts suggest, you chase the bugs into biofilms where they can’t be killed but your symptoms go away. Organisms that go into biofilm are going into ‘submission’ for lack of a better word and they’ll do that sometimes in the presence of an antibiotic. Traditional antibiotics can cure pneumonia, or life-threatening infections from the deadly “kissing bug,” or hair ties. Yes hair ties. Google Audree Kopp, she almost died from sepsis from her hair tie. Point is, drugs are sometimes handy. But I’m not convinced of their safety for long-term or less serious infection. They change who you are. When you take an antibiotic, you destroy your gut flora, which has an impact on your personality. That’s why you need probiot-ics. Plus probiotics impact your digestion, your mood and ability to fight cancer and infection. A disadvantage of antibiotics is that you become resistant to them quickly. What will you do when they stop working? Think this out with me, penicillin is just penicillin. It’s easy for a germ to outsmart one ingredient. With something like garlic, there are at least 35 known active constituents making it super hard for a bug to get around and become a “superbug.” Capiche? I’m a pharmacist, trust me on this. My antibiot-ics are simple substances. Pathogenic organisms have been around the Earth for eons, and they are much smarter. They can outsmart the drugs because unlike herbs, pharmaceuticals don’t have hundreds of biologically active constitu-ents. Scientific research is never going to agree with me or other natural healers like the scantily dressed “medicine” man, licensed naturopaths/

chiropractors or even grand-mother s so don’t wait for an FDA stamp, but to me it’s almost like “Duh?!” Today’s article is to offer some herbal alter-natives in case you need to kill ‘something’ in you without killing yourself. Please discuss all changes to your health regimen with your doctor, since I am not one: Brazilian Propolis – With the help of bees, this popular tree resin packs a punch. It can be taken by mouth, or directly applied to wounds. It may help with colds, flu or sore throats. This is an all-around immunity aid, and a brand new study found that it could help with organisms found in dental biofilms (S. mutans) which contribute to cracked teeth. Cat’s Claw – A strong antimicrobial and antivi-ral which is often used in Lyme, and sometimes HIV as an adjunctive remedy. Anyone could use it for a general infection. It has some anti-cancer affect, and it reduces TNF alpha (an inflammato-ry cytokine). Useful for Crohn’s as well. Colloidal Silver – Everyone’s favorite, this may be useful for staph in the nose. Studies have shown that topical colloidal silver solution has effective antibiofilm activity against Staph-ylococcus aureus, and tons of other organisms. Oregano – It’s a strong anti-fungal and may be useful for Candida, as well as parasites. Some people dilute it with a little coconut oil and apply it to the skin (not on broken skin though), where there is signs of fungal infection. The carvacrol component of wild oregano oil has activity against MRSA and C. difficile. Teasel Root – May inhibit growth of Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme).

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Vocational Technical School’s major fundraiser, Chef’s Night Out, packed the Pine Belt Arena at Toms River High School North with stations to sample the wide array of high-end and family restaurants, bakeries, caterers, specialty food stores, breweries, al-cohol distributors and more. Attendees feasted on small portions of crab ravioli, ahi tuna bites, custom cupcakes, beef wellington and other signature offerings from the dozens of participating businesses, in a lively event that also was an annual competition to crown the people’s choice. Placing first was Chef Mike’s ABG from Seaside Park, top. For more photos from the event, visit micromediapubs.com.

the state Department of Environmental Protection. “Unfortunately, the tides have already eroded some of the sand,” said Crane. The beach replenishment project was suspended on Long Beach Island late last year after the federal government’s contractor, Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company, left New Jersey to complete other projects elsewhere on the eastern seaboard. Beach Haven Mayor Nancy Taggart-Da-vis said the project is set to restart in the borough by mid-March. Officials from the Army Corps confirmed that timeframe for the restart of dredging operations and

beach fill in what is known as Area 6, which runs from Beach Haven southward toward the Holgate section of Long Beach Township. The need for dump trucks to deliver sand is wholly related to the lack of replenish-ment, officials said. “If we had been fortunate enough to get the beach replenishment, as promised back in the early fall, we probably wouldn’t be talking about that now,” said Crane. Davis said when the dredging starts again in New Jersey, she is confident that portions of the project will include the dredging of Little Egg Inlet for sand, a proposition supported by local boaters who say the inlet has become too shoaled, making for a treacherous ride between the bay and the ocean.

MANAHAWKIN – Stockton University’s Manahawkin Instructional Site will host a program featuring a fictional re-enactment of events surrounding the Easter Rebellion in Ireland in 1916. Richard O’Meara, an adjunct instructor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Stockton University, and a retired trial attorney and Army officer, will play John Patrick Joy, a journalist in Dublin. In this account, Joy meets with leaders of the Irish Movement for Independence as they secure the General Post Office and challenge the British Em-

pire for their right to create an independent and free Irish state. O’Meara brings to the study of history a unique dedication to the idea that the past is an exciting place, which prepares students for the challenges of the future. Through the years, O’Meara has experienced war and peace in multiple locations including Vietnam, Panama and Iraq. Lunch will be provided at this free pubic event on March 21 at noon at the instruc-tional site, 712 E. Bay Ave. RSVP by calling 609-626-3883.

Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets

In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act to reduce the cost of automobile insur-ance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile ac-cidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry auto-mobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment. When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices: you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy. We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy. The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000 of property damage lia-bility coverage if someone makes a claim against you, and only provides $15,000 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Pol-icy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the ac-cident is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets. We recommend that you purchase a Stan-dard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide

compensation to you and your family if you are injured. The Standard Policy does provide medical expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the accident then you and your family are covered for your losses. When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” By choosing the “limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: death, dismemberment; significant scarring or disfigurement; displaced fractures; loss of fetus or a permanent injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Asso-ciates (732-505-1212) for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

By Jeraldine Saunders

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Cooperation is the operative word. Give in with good grace as this week unfolds. The ball is in the other person’s court at work. You must let the other person take the lead if you take a turn on the dance floor of love. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Negotiations stride forward with giant steps. If you are a real team player and make fairness a priority you can strike a deal that pleases all the people all the time. You may be inspired to adopt new goals this week.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Steer clear of power struggles in the early part of the week. Those in charge could be in the mood to throw some weight around and you don’t want to be in the way when it lands. Avoid starting new projects. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Learn to be wise. Read and study. Your week will unwind flawlessly if you put your trust in others and refuse to bow to outside pressures. Pay close attention to human moods and business will take care of itself.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Fill up your bank account the old fashioned way. Your wisdom about financial matters will keep you from falling into bad habits. In the week ahead a partner will prove to be entirely trustworthy and dispel your doubts. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have a decided advantage in the week ahead. Although a financial matter could cause concern, you will find creative solutions at your fingertips. Your ability to compromise will put you at the head of the pack.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Industry and initiative can pay off. Cash might not grow on trees but that doesn’t mean you can’t pick some up that

is right under your feet. Avoid confrontations early in the week when touchy feelings may be in play.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Investigate before you invest. Finances can end up on a roller coaster ride if you dip into the piggy bank early in the week. Be big hearted and overlook disapproval from partners as a turnaround is just around the corner.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the week ahead you may be bombarded by conflicting viewpoints. Wait until the dust settles to make a major decision. Just because one responsibility is erased doesn’t mean you should immediately take on another one.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Just be-cause you have the advantage of a better education or financial resources doesn’t mean you should take advantage of others. Tap into inner wisdom to protect you from making poor business decisions this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Minor moodiness may mar the beginning of the week. Be on your best behavior and don’t step on other people’s toes just to have your way. Passing squab-bles subside quickly but could block your attempts at financial gain. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Focus on love and affection rather than money in the week ahead. Your business judgment could be off kilter, but people will trust your ideas anyway. Do yourself a favor and don’t offer financial advice to any friends.(c) 2016 TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.

Top Secret! You Won’t Believe How Easy It Is To Make This Restaurant Favorite

By Wolfgang Puck CUT RESTAURANT BUTTER LET-TUCE AND BLUE CHEESE SALAD

Serves 4

HONEY-DIJON VINAIGRETTE:1 1/2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar 2 to 4 teaspoons honey 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oilKosher salt Freshly ground black pepper

SALAD:1 1/2 to 2 heads butter lettuce, separated, rinsed well and dried, 20 to 24 leaves total1 ripe Hass-style avocado4 ounces blue cheese, crumbledFresh dill, separated into small sprigsFresh chervil, separated into small sprigsFresh tar ragon, separated into individual leavesFresh chives, cut into 1- to 2-inch (2.5- to 5-cm) piecesOrganic celery, small leaves only, stalks reserved for another use20 cherry tomatoes, cut in half First, make the Honey-Dijon Vinaigrette. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chopped tarragon, vinegar, honey and mustard. Sea-

son to taste with salt and pepper. While whisking continuously, drizzle in the oil, continuing until a thick and creamy emul-sion forms. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside. Separate the butter lettuce leaves. Rinse them well under cold running water, and then pat them thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Select 20 to 24 leaves total, reserving the rest for another use. With a sharp, sturdy knife, cut the avoca-do in half lengthwise. Grasp the avocado between your hands and twist the halves in opposite directions to separate them. To remove the pit, use a tablespoon to scoop it out. With a large spoon, scoop out the f lesh whole from the skin of each half. Cut the f lesh of each half lengthwise in half again, then crosswise into thin slices. Put a one of the largest lettuce leaves on each serving plate, facing upward like a cup. Drizzle with a little vinaigrette. Add a few blue cheese crumbles, herbs and celery leaves. Top with another lettuce leaf, more dressing, some tomato slices and avocado pieces. Continue layering like this, balanc-ing the leaves so the stack stays upright, until all ingredients have been used, reserv-ing a few crumbles of cheese, tomato and avocado pieces, and fresh herbs to garnish each plate. Serve the salads immediately.
