Berkeley Supports Grandfathering In Elevation Requirements
Polar Plunge’s Charitable Dip In The Ocean
–Photo by Daniel Nee SEASIDE HEIGHTS – An estimated 6,000 plungers – and 25,000 onlookers – came out for the annual Polar Bear Plunge in Seaside Heights, raising more than $1.6 million for the cause. Organizers said it was the most successful plunge yet, (Ocean - See Page 5)

(At left) In this FEMA photo from 2013, of Bayville, the federal agency points out the difference in damage between a raised home and one that was not. By Catherine Galioto BERKELEY – Amid a looming deadline for new elevation requirements under the National Flood Insurance Program, the township council is pushing for homes already elevated under the last requirements instead be grandfathered in. The impact would be in Coastal A Zones, and newly changed requirements on elevating homes that are in the zone as part of the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps. The changes mean a homeowner who planned to raise their home one elevation may have to return to the drawing board and make another plan for a new elevation. The grace period ends March 21.
Berkeley, which saw severe damage along its mainland bayfront and barrier island sections, has about 400 homes in the new Coastal A zone. The township council passed a resolution in support of grandfathering “to protect the homeowners whose homes were built to elevations acceptable at the time of construction or reconstruction,” said Mayor Carmen Amato. Echoing a previous resolution the council passed calling for a rollback of the new elevation guidelines, Amato said this new resolution hopes to address how some residents rebuilt at one elevation, and new elevations (Elevation - See Page 4)

As Scams Proliferate, Mayor Not Immune To Hoax Calls
By Catherine Galioto BERKELEY – If you are receiving a lot of strange phone calls attempting to scam you out of your money, you are not alone. The mayor is receiving them, too. Four calls at least, so far. Mayor Carmen Amato spent time in his mayor’s comments at the Febr uary 22 council meet i ng to explain some of the scams going around. He said he received four calls at home in a short amount of time, from callers claiming to be from the IRS, demanding an immediate payment. “On the fourth call, they say: that’s it if you don’t pay this we are immediately dispatching the police to your house to arrest you,” (Scams - See Page 4)
Free Events Focus On Women’s History
OCEAN COUNTY – March is Women’s History Month and the Ocean County Library will recognize the achievements of women and their struggle for equality through a variety of special programs at its branches. The programs will vary from historical re-enactments to films for adults to programs designed for a younger audience.

would mean neighborhoods rebuilt at various heights. Plus, Amato said most funding deadlines have passed to help residents rebuild, while homeowners without substantial damage or whose property is a second home have even fewer funding options. Grandfathering them in would be a solution to those problems of compliance. “The only way to correct this injustice is to insert a grandfathering provision into the National Flood Insurance laws to permit those homes not substantially damaged to be deemed in compliance provided they are appropriately constructed or reconstructed to standards at that time,” Amato said. “This is very important, we have a lot of homes that fall into this category.” The resolution passed unanimously. Council President John Bacchione said he’s had conversations with U.S. Rep Tom MacArthur, whose district includes Berkeley, about the unfairness of the provisions. Bacchione also said that while those who have substantial damage to their homes have rightfully been first in line to receive aid to rebuild, the time has come to address how those who have that less-than-51-percent damage level could receive relief. “I think this resolution covers that,” Bacchione said. “There are people waiting in the wings. The people who had serious damage to their homes are out there in the forefront rebuilding their homes and rightfully so getting funding from the federal government, but I think the people waiting in the wings need to get some help now.” Demolition Questions Besides the topic of home elevation, the mayor and council addressed a question on demolition of homes that sit vacant with Sandy damage. A resident said that he’s seen township code enforcement around Butler Boulevard, a bayfront area of the mainland hard hit by Superstorm Sandy. The code enforcement officer was recently there, checking up on homes that have yet to
move forward on repairs, he said. Amato said the township is in the process of making of list of homes with such damage. The end result could be that the township demolishes the homes, but it is a lengthy process. “We do have a list. There were a couple state programs that were out there, the PPDR, which is the private property debris removal and then there was another program that came out as part of the last round of sandy funding. Originally 140 homes were submitted, 71 were reviewed by the program, which was whittled down to I think two homes, were finally moving in that process,” Amato said. Amato and Councilman Jim Byrnes have met with the township professionals to develop its own demolition plan. “What we’ll do is: we have some money leftover in the special emergency Sandy appropriation that we did, and we’ll use that money to tear down the structures and then what we’ll do is file a lien against the property so we would get the money back,” said the mayor. The original list of 140 structures is now being revisited to see if there are any updates or if the property owner demolished on their own, Amato said. “It’s been more than three years, and it’s been a horrible situation for a lot of Sandy victims but now it’s getting to a point where the township has to act because these other programs weren’t helpful enough to the individual homeowners, so it’s now our time to do that,” Amato said. Township Administrator John Camera agreed, and said “We’ve really got to move ahead and create a list.” The issue is a quality of life one for the impacted neighborhoods, Amato said. “We are going to move pretty quick because it has been three years and it is starting to effect the quality of life of the other neighbors that are around there. It’s an unfortunate situation but with three years after the fact the township has to step up,” said the mayor. “We’ve been looking at dilapidated buildings for three years now.” Other towns such as Brick have a lengthy process to demolish vacant homes, including a hearing on each property after completing a long list of legal provisions.

Amato said during the meeting, from his seat next to Police Chief Karin DiMichele. Though the incident elicited some laughter from attendees, Amato said it really shows the proliferation of scams and that residents need to protect themselves. “There is a level of sophistication, with them using technology to appear on caller IDs to be from Washington, D.C. and the IRS,” Amato said. The mayor said he routed the information to the police, and that DiMichele’s staff would likely be creating brochures and other notices about the different scams. One of the older scams he keeps hearing about is the “Help from Grandma” scam, where a caller posing as a grandchild calls
up the resident saying they are in immediate distress and need a wire transfer of money, say for bail or other emergency. Scammers can convince residents to give up thousands of dollars with these hoaxes, and the culprits are hard to prosecute. New scams keep popping up, but around tax time, this time each year, residents may see an increase in these types of scams, said the mayor. There’s ones demanding tax payments, ones demanding immediate payment from “overdue bills,” others charging you to access unclaimed property or the deed to your home. In each case, residents should be wary. The most important thing: do not give any money over the phone. “Once you give them money, you will not get it back,” DiMichele said. “It is gone. There’s nothing we can do.”

Editorial Celebrate New Jersey’s History February is honored as Black History Month, and March for Women’s History Month. Our wonderful local community groups, schools and libraries have set up a great variety of events geared around the history of both these groups, respective to the months. If you haven’t checked those events out, there is still time to do so. But also take a moment and learn about the current and past individuals right from our communities who are a part of that rich, diverse history. The libraries and historical societies in our neighborhoods can help you learn more about the men and women who make up our towns’ past, and who deserve recognition for their efforts. Here are just two stories: The first black fire chief in Ocean County was Garland Griffin, who served as chief of Manitou Park Fire and Rescue Squad from 1959 to 1976. According to the fire company’s history, the plans to have a firehouse on 3rd Avenue and 4th Street in Manitou Park came shortly after its founding on paper in 1959. By 1960, Manitou, with an all black membership of 32, went house to house in a fund drive to purchase block to lay the foundation. Building materials and the work of its members came together to build the firehouse, and over the next two years the squad compiled its first firefighting equipment
and vehicles. According to the squad history: at first, certain fire companies in the area and township officials did not want to recognize the fire company, and gradually the squad volunteers became frustrated and began to quit. Seven firefighters remained in 1967, when the suggestion came that Manitou should disband and sell the firehouse to the township to store road department equipment. But Chief Griffin instead launched a recruitment campaign that paid no mind to the racial divide. “A man doesn’t care what color a fireman is when his house is burning” was the slogan Griffin used to recruit new members. He was right; and membership grew. For Women’s History Month, Ocean County has a proud distinction. In 1915, the state had a referendum question on the ballot, the first vote on womens’ suffrage, asking voters if women should have the right to vote in New Jersey. Every single county in New Jersey voted no – except Ocean County, where more voters said yes. Obviously, the vote failed that day. But, five years later an amendment to the U.S. Constitution was adopted by New Jersey and the other states that would give women the right to vote in the United States. For more stories such as these, consider visiting the Ocean County Historical Society, or the resources available at state. nj.us/nj/about/history.

Letters To The Editor Grave Concerns Over Area Pipeline For the past year, hundreds of citizens from Bordentown to Upper Freehold have spent countless hours and sleepless nights organizing, attending town meetings, writing letters to the NJ BPU, FERC, and the local and Federal legislative delegates that serve this portion of New Jersey. Why? Because of the very grave concerns that NJNG’s so-called “Southern Reliability Link” (SRL) has raised, its route to course over twolane county roads within 100 feet of residents’ front doors, churches, schools, town halls and emergency response garages, past historic areas dating to the Revolutionary period, past three cemeteries, in township roadways that traverse in front of NJ Preserved Farmlands where U-pick operations are located, and last but not least, invades a section of the NJ Pinelands that is overlain by the Joint Base – McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. Additionally, there are over 15 crossings of streams, most of which are tributaries of the Crosswicks Creek which drains to the Delaware River, and potential impacts to mature trees and threatened and endangered species of turtle and fowl. This gas transmission pipeline would have its terminus in Manchester in Ocean County. Its stated purpose as presented in the petition before the NJ BPU was to enhance resiliency, and reliability of the gas supply should there be another event such as superstorm San-
dy, or disruption in the current Texas Eastern supply system. Manchester, Lakehurst Borough, and Plumsted have all been curiously silent during this whole time period and I have to wonder if anyone in Ocean County understands the concerns that we in western Monmouth and Burlington County have regarding this unnecessary infrastructure. As a former 20 year resident of Ocean County, I understand the public relations campaign that NJNG puts out for public consumption. But I am not so naïve as to think that NJNG just wants to enhance reliability of the gas supply. They really want to enhance the reliability of their income stream through system growth and by placing this infrastructure cost on its ratepayers – and make us Burlington and western Monmouth County residents suffer the consequences should anything go wrong either before, during, or after its construction. Will you join us by raising your voices loudly against the NJ BPU’s recent approval of this project? This is not a “done deal.” There are permits required and there is also an interstate pipeline extension and new compressor station (also problematic), to be operated by Williams/ Transco, which are needed to service the SRL in order for anything to become viable. It should also be noted that this is tied to PennEast’s project which is being challenged by 70 municipalities along its route all the way to Hopewell Township.

Bombs of Hate
Imagine that as you sleepily go out to retrieve your morning newspaper you find a small bag on your lawn. Curious, you pick it up and find that it is a weighted bag with a leaflet. “Harmless trash,” you may think. Trash it is, but harmless it is not. It is a small “bomb of hate” meant to frighten you with its message against minorities. More of these hate notes are now appearing in Monmouth County and throughout the state. The perpetrators seek to frighten their targets and to recruit more members for their groups. We on the Monmouth County Human Relations Commission deplore this hate literat u re and the spreading of its vile message. Even though it may not be illegal, it can be dangerous in its purpose of inciting crimes against minority citizens and immigrants. Silence encourages the tormentors. If you are a recipient, report the incident to your local police department. A littering complaint is also a possibility. If you see someone dropping these bags or in a similar activity, try to get a license number or as much description as possible of the car and occupants. Our goal is to alleviate the current tensions and conflicts in our communities. Hate groups are attempting to inf lame relations with racial minorities, religious minorities, immigrants and between the police and the community. The Monmouth County Human Relations Commission is available through our Speakers’ Bureau: 732-2914257; website monmouthcountyhrc.org, and bias problem hot line: 732-303 -7666. We a sk members of all community
groups, both minority and majority, to speak out with us. Do not be silent on these issues. We must defuse these “bombs of hate.” John P. Delaney, Carolyn Schwebel, Monmouth County Human Relations Commission
Meat Industry ‑ 9, Consumers ‑ 0 The “Dietary Guidelines for Americans” released recently by U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services mark the ninth time in a row that the meat industry has successfully suppressed scientific findings recommending reduced meat consumption. The reduction was recommended by the government-appointed Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee in a 571-page report based on review of thousands of studies. Reduced meat consumption was first recommended in 1977 by the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs in “Dietary Goals for the United States,” a precursor to the Dietary Guidelines. The meat industry forced the Committee to destroy all copies of the report and to remove the offending recommendation from a new edition. That wanton government sell-out to the meat industry has replayed itself with every new edition of the Dietary Guidelines since then. “Dietary Guidelines for Americans” shape school lunches and other government food support programs and underlie public health campaigns to lower rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Fortunately, American consumers are not easily duped. Sales of plant-based meats, cheeses, milks and ice creams have skyrocketed, and every grocery store provides seemingly countless choices of fruits and vegetables. Henry Traconi Toms River

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary FromYour Local, County, State & Federal Officials
What’s Happening In Berkeley Township - By Berkeley Mayor Carmen F. Amato, Jr.
Protecting Your Own Home Against Burglaries
BERKELEY – Chief Karin DiMichele and I would like to remind residents that there are several ways that you can help yourselves possibly prevent becoming a victim of a burglary, and several ways you can assist the police if you witness something that may be a burglary or simply see a suspicious incident. First things first – every resident should assess their property and attempt to “harden the target.” What this means is to walk your perimeter and look at areas that make you vulnerable. Do you have a landscaping rock securing the tarp on your air conditioner? Is your ladder secured on the side of your residence with easy access? How
about your shrubbery? Is it trimmed and well kept in a manner that would not offer cover for someone trying to hide? Is your property illuminated at night? Do you have motion–activated lights? Once your assessments on the perimeter are complete, move to the inside of your residence and do the same thing room by room. Again, look at this through the eyes of a burglar. If you own a firearm, is it locked and stored in a safe location? Where do you store your valuable jewelry? Do you have easy access to large amounts of cash which can be found? Do you have photographs of your valuable property? We strongly recommend that you do
take photographs to help the police for recovery efforts in the unlikely event you are a victim of a burglary. What can you do to help if you realize you have become a victim of a burglary? First and foremost exit your house and go to a safe location, whether it be your vehicle or a neighbor’s house, make sure you’re safe and then immediately contact the police. Do not touch any thing in your house; the police officer who arrives at the scene will assist you in determining your loss at the proper time. You should supply the officer with the most accurate information that you have to help assist in the investigation. You can also assist
the police by reporting suspicious cars and people who you may observe in and around your neighborhood. Make no mistake – every reported burglary happens by either person(s) arriving in a vehicle or on foot. Most arrested burglars will tell you they were seen by many residents. If you see someone suspicious, never confront them – leave that to the police. What you can do is become a great witness. Try to get a very good description of their physical characteristics, the clothes they are wearing, what they are carrying and direction of travel. If they are in a vehicle, supply as much information as you can about it: license plate, number of doors, color, number of
occupants, any identifying stickers or permits on the windows. You can never provide too many details. Lastly, please don’t become confused with who to call and when to call. If you think you are observing a crime in progress call 911 immediately. During an emergency every second counts. We have encountered some confusion with our tip line. Please let this be a reminder that our tip line 732-341-1132, ext. 611 is only for matters that do not require an immediate police response. Some examples for using the tip line are suspicious vehicles coming and going to a residence. You suspect some ty pe of illegal activity and just
want to let us know. If you wish to remain anonymous, you may do so.

State Legislators Say Small Businesses And Seniors To Be Hit Hard by Minimum Wage Increase NEW JERSEY – Imposing more state mandates will have a chilling effect on New Jersey’s economy, said the 9th Legislative District delegation. Connors, Rumpf and Gove noted that plans by Democrats to nearly double the minimum wage to $15/hour would result in price increases that hurt fixed-income seniors. The statement from Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove comes in reaction to the recent announce-
ment of a joint state-federal effort by New Jersey elected officials to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. The delegation questioned how the state could be considering nearly doubling the minimum wage, which could very well drive up the cost of goods, when seniors recently learned they won’t be receiving a cost-of-living increase in their social security checks this year. Outlining their consistent stance on the minimum wage issue, Connors, Rumpf and Gove issued the following joint statement:
“Pure and simple, raising the minimum wage will discourage small businesses from operating and opening in the state. Imposing this state-mandate on businesses couldn’t come at a worse time as towns are working hard to bring in desperately needed ratables to control property taxes for local residents. “Lost in the debate is the likely harsh impact on middle class small business owners and seniors. On the surface, raising the minimum wage seems compassionate. In reality, it disparately impacts small businesses as opposed

to large corporations that have greater financial resources and mobility. “Moreover, seniors can’t afford any potential price increases in the costs of goods resulting from a minimum wage increase. Seniors won’t be receiving a cost-of-living increase in their Social Security checks meaning they’ll have less disposable income. A trip to the local department store becomes more expen-
sive precisely when they can least afford it. “Raising the minimum wage can prove to be a zero-sum gain. Left with no other choice, small businesses will cut employees’ hours to compensate for the additional payroll costs. “From experience, we’re skeptical about any tax incentive attached to a minimum wage increase for small businesses. Tax incentives can be
easily removed through State Budget language, even as the minimum wage increase stays in effect. “Taxpayers and workers would be better served if the state adopted a more longterm strategy to strengthen New Jersey’s economy as opposed to running off businesses and driving up the costs of goods for consumers including for those who can least afford it.”

SAVE YOUR VISION
By 2020, an estimated 43 million Americans will be at risk for significant vision loss or blindness from age-related eye diseases such as cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. This number represents an increase of more than 50 percent over the current number of Americans with these vision-robbing diseases and conditions. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that adults with no signs or risk factors for eye disease undergo a baseline eye-disease screening at age 40, which is the time when early signs of disease and changes in vision may begin to occur. Individuals with risks of, or symptoms for, eye disease are advised to schedule eye exams even earlier. A baseline evaluation determines future screenings. When was the last time you had a comprehensive eye examination? At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., we offer a wide range of eye care services to you and your family. We are educated, trained, and licensed to provide total care of the eyes. Please call 732-349-5622 to schedule an appointment.

CRHS Congratulates Seniors Of The Month
–Photo courtesy of the Central Regional School District Maniyah Goodwine and Luis Torres pose with their school’s golden eagle. BAYVILLE – Maniyah Goodwine and Luis Torres were recognized as January’s Seniors of Month. Maniyah Goodwine took advantage of the School Choice program. As a result, CRHS welcomed an outstanding leader in and out of the classroom. She was recognized as the Student of the Marking Period for Spanish, Financial Literacy, Statistics and Historical Readings. Her high GPA and ongoing contributions in and out of school earned her an induction into the National Honor Society last year. She was also invited and participated in the selective Jersey Girls State. Goodwine brought an exceptional work-ethic in all pursuits. She served as the Public Relations Officer of the National Honor Society this year. As Vice President of Student Congress, Goodwine helped successfully organize talent shows, dances and Spirit Week. She was the lead basket manager for the past three years. She volunteered at the Ocean Medical Center in Brick where she assisted with elderly and children’s dietary needs. Although undecided at this point in time, Goodwine has been accepted and has a choice of eight universities for next year:
Fairleigh Dickinson, William Paterson, La Salle, Temple, Saint John’s, Iona, Maine and Old Dominion. His kind nature made Luis Torres one of the most respected student leaders to walk the halls of Central Regional. Behind his infectious smile, Luis is very driven to succeed and overcome all challenges. He achieved High Honor Roll while enrolled in rigorous AP and Honor Level courses. He earned the highest GPA for Physics and Pre-Calculus Honors. As a result, he was inducted into both the Math and Science Honor Societies. Luis Torres participated in numerous activities beyond the classroom. He played football as an underclassman. He ran winter and spring track last year, and he wrestled this year. He was recognized for the Scholar Athlete Award every season of play. Luis was a member of the Key Club and served as a Student Ambassador. Somewhere he found time to work at the Heritage Family Restaurant since last summer. As of now, Luis intends to pursue a degree in Accounting at Pace University in New York. He will certainly be missed by everyone at CRHS, but a welcome addition to any campus.

Five Medical Factors That Could Lead To Hearing Loss
While hearing loss is most commonly caused by prolonged exposure to loud noises – also referred to as sensorineural hearing loss – a number of medical conditions can lead to hearing impairment as well. Fortunately, some of these medical conditions are reversible, allowing hearing to become fully restored. Current research is finding strong associations between hearing loss and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, smoking, obesity and dementia. But many lesser-known conditions can impact your hearing health in potentially serious ways. Here are a few of them: 1. Blood Conditions: Poor blood flow is typically the result of circulatory system troubles and can restrict the flow of oxygen to the inner ear. Conditions affecting blood flow include sickle-cell anemia, diabetes and heart conditions. Things like high blood pressure, hypercoagulability and polycythemia can also cause blood related hearing loss. 2. Infections: Meningitis, a bacterial or fungal infection of the brain and spinal cord, can cause sudden hearing loss. Hearing loss is also a side effect of treatment of tuberculosis – though it is possible that the medication used in treatment is what causes the impairment. Both hearing loss and tinnitus are common side effects of Lyme disease (carried by ticks), as well as some STDs, like syphilis. 3. Disease: Ménière’s disease, a disorder of the fluids in the inner ear, is one of the most common causes of hearing loss. Its root is unknown, and the disease typically affects only one ear in individuals between
ages 20 and 50. Other issues known to affect hearing include hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid), kidney disease medications, Paget’s disease and autoimmune inner ear disease, which results in sudden onset hearing loss and must be treated as a medical emergency. 4. Hereditary Conditions: Hearing loss may run in your family. Some serious genetic disorders, such as Waardenburg syndrome, cause the head and internal organs to develop differently, which may result in hearing loss that is difficult to correct through treatment or surgery. Other conditions, like otosclerosis, affect the bones in the middle ear that conduct sound to the cochlea; some of these conditions are correctable with surgery. 5. Tumors and Cancer: Cancers of the head, neck or ear areas can affect the inner ear, but cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, are also notorious for causing hearing loss. Some recent research out of the U.K. suggests that aspirin can help prevent permanent hearing loss as a side effect of the cancer drug cisplatin, but further research is necessary. Acoustic neuromas and tumors that grow on the auditory nerve can cause hearing loss or tinnitus, and they may put pressure on the brain, leading to other conditions. Both are usually benign and can be removed surgically. Free Hearing Screening – Do you have a friend or family member who has complained of an inability to hear things as clearly as they once did? We’ll screen their hearing free of charge. Your referrals mean a healthier local community and healthier communities benefit everyone.

FREE SCREENING for Detection of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA)
As many as 2.7 million Americans are estimated to have an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, but only about half of them have been diagnosed. Approximately 15,000 people die from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms in the United States each year. Many patients are not aware of the presence of an AAA. It is more prevalent in patients with history of smoking and family histories of abdominal aortic aneurysms and hypertension. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms usually do not produce any symptoms until the aneurysm is ready to rupture. It is therefore important that persons over the age of 65, with family history of AAA and/or history of smoking, should be screened to detect the presence of an aneurysm. If the aneurysm is found and happens to be less than 5 centimeters, the patient should be followed periodically as an outpatient with ultrasound to check for any significant increase in the size of the aneurysm. If the aneurysm turns out to be greater than 5 centimeters, the patient should consider repair of the aneurysm and discuss treatment options with a Vascular surgeon.

Brace Yourself: Your Thyroid Lab Test Is Probably All Wrong By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
The current medical system isn’t on your side. Some physicians don’t stay current with the literature, or if they do, they are reading drug-funded studies. Some docs actually still believe what they were taught 30 years ago in medical school. How does that help you? When a physician uses knowledge from an outdated toolbox, you pay the price. Case in point, I received this email from someone, name withheld: “Suzy, I’ve had all the tests for thyroid but they all come back fine, yet for years I’ve been losing hair on top of my head, and I have no leg or pubic hair, the driest skin and dry eyes. So on and so on and now my bladder is overactive. Do you think I have a thyroid problem?” So does this person have thyroid disease? Probably, although, we’d need lab tests to confirm. If you go to 100 doctors and ask them to test your thyroid, about 98 of them will use the standard “TSH” test and if it’s normal, they will tell you that you do not have thyroid disease, like my anonymous reader above. They will treat you for everything but thyroid! The TSH test is old and outdated and if you base your life on the results of this test, you’ll never get well. You’ll be prescribed 10 different drugs to smack down all the symptoms of thyroid disease, rather than ever treating the thyroid disease itself. Imagine the arcade game Whac-A-Mole! If your physician uses only the TSH
test and it is normal, you may be told you have fibromyalgia and be given analgesics for the muscle pain and you’ll be diagnosed with either depression or anxiety and be prescribed either Zoloft or Xanax (or both). You’ll also be sent to the pharmacy for Rogaine for the hair loss and Detrol LA for the overactive bladder. Good luck getting well. All this expense and misery, because your TSH came back normal. A TSH can be normal and it’s still very possible that you have some degree of hypothyroidism, or you are genuinely “thyroid sick” as I refer to it in my book, “Thyroid Healthy” available at my website and Amazon. Maybe instead of 10 drugs you need one drug as in thyroid medicine or maybe natural thyroid dietary supplementation, or a combination. A good doctor will know. Forget about the TSH test, it’s just okay. It’s part of a bigger scenario. The most important tests are the following: Total T3, Total T4, Free T3, Free T4, TPO and TG Antibodies, Reverse T3 and Ferritin. I’m out of space here, but I have suggested “normals” that are much different from those on your lab tests. If you go to my website suzycohen.com and sign up for my newsletter, I’ll give you a free ebook, plus I will email you a longer version of this article that includes the tests and the normal reference ranges so you can compare your lab numbers to my recommended values.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Obviously Not A Golfer Dear Joel, I moved from Queens, New York into an over-55 development in Monroe Township. Although my husband always enjoyed golf, it has now become an obsession of his. I sometimes feel as if I would have been better off staying in New York. I am bored and lonely while he is out enjoying himself. I sometimes feel as if I would have been better off staying in New York. Answer: In as much as it would be nice for your husband to be spending more time with you, he doesn’t have any obligation to do so. Many people would be very happy that their spouses have found pleasure in their retirement years. My suggestion to you is to find some-
thing that you enjoy. Many women in the over-55 developments play golf. I am certain that there is a school in the vicinity and you too can be swinging a club and enjoying the links. You gain nothing by blaming him for your boredom. Try something new and if that isn’t enjoyable try something different. You too deserve happiness in life. Our blaming others for our unhappiness gets us nowhere. Questions for Joel? Write to preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com.

Tax Appeal Procedures By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
The deadline for filing tax appeals in most towns expires on April 1. Many people who file tax appeals do so without knowing the process that follows the filing of the appeal. This article provides a brief overview of the tax appeal process to give taxpayers an idea of what to expect. Because most tax appeals are filed with the County Tax Board, this article is limited to the local Tax Board process. The Tax Appeal Hearing: Once an appeal is filed, the County Tax Board will schedule a hearing. Tax appeal hearings are generally held within three to four months after the filing date. If the appeal has been filed by commercial entity, such as a corporation or limited liability company, the taxpayer must be represented by an attorney at the hearing. Even if the appeal was filed by individual, we strongly recommend that all taxpayers retain a New Jersey attorney experienced in tax appeals to pursue the hearing because there are certain procedural requirements that must be satisfied. In all hearings, the town will be represented by the municipal attorney. We also recommend that all taxpayers obtain an appraisal report prepared by a certified real estate appraiser so as to justify the basis for the appeal. Remember that the town’s assessment is presumed to be accurate and the burden is on the taxpayer to prove otherwise. The only real way to meet this burden is to have an appraisal by a certified appraiser. If you intend to
rely on expert testimony from a real estate appraiser, you must supply a copy of the appraisal report to each County Tax Board member and the municipal assessor at least seven days before the scheduled hearing date. The Board will not consider your evidence and rule in the town’s favor if you fail to do so. The appraiser who prepares the report must also be available at the hearing to testify and be cross-examined. The Tax Board’s Decision. New Jersey law states that the Tax Board must hear and render a judgment on all appeals within three months of the last day for filing appeals, unless an extension is granted by the Director of the Division of Taxation. Judgments are issued shortly thereafter. If you are dissatisfied with the judgment of the Tax Board, you may appeal to the State Tax Court. You have 45 days from the date your judgment was mailed to file an appeal with the Tax Court. However, an appeal to the Tax Court is time consuming and likely expensive. Further, if you did not produce the appropriate proofs at the County level, you may be prevented from producing them at the Tax Court. The tax appeal process can be complicated and the failure of the taxpayer to understand and follow the process can lead to an adverse Tax Board judgment. Therefore, it is important to consult with an experienced New Jersey tax attorney. The law office of R.C. Shea and Associates has been representing taxpayers in Ocean County for over 30 years.

BlueClaws, Townsquare Media Extend Broadcast Agreement
LAKEWOOD – BlueClaws games will return to the Shore Sports Network again in 2016, according to the club and Townsquare Media. The agreement extends a partnership that began in 2003, the team’s second season. This year marks the 14th straight year the BlueClaws will be heard on Townsquare Media stations. All 140 games will once again be heard on News Talk Radio WOBM AM 1160 and 1310 as well as streamed on ShoreSportsNetwork.com and the
WOBM-AM mobile application. “We’re very pleased to extend our partnership with Townsquare Media and the Shore Sports Network,” said BlueClaws General Manager Chris Tafrow. “Townsquare Media has long been a tremendous partner of the BlueClaws and we are excited to carry that relationship another year.” “We put such an emphasis on our local, Jersey Shore community, and the BlueClaws are obviously an extension of that,” said Kevin Williams,
Townsquare Media’s Shore Sports Network director. “They’re a big part of our programming and we’re thrilled to extend our partnership.” Greg Giombarrese returns as the “Voice of the BlueClaws” and will once again broadcast all 140 BlueClaws games. Tony Graham will again join the broadcast team during home games. Each broadcast begins with the BlueClaws Beat Pre-Game Show, 15 minutes prior to first pitch, and concludes with a 15-minute post-game show.
The 2016 season opens at Lexington on April 7 and opens the home schedule with a game on April 14 against Greensboro. The BlueClaws are the Jersey Shore’s top stop for affordable, family entertainment. They have led the South Atlantic League in attendance in all 15 years of existence. 2016 BlueClaws ticket packages and group outings are currently on sale by calling 732-901-7000 option 3 or online at BlueClaws.com.

The Berkeley Times, February 27, 2016, Page 23 For the week of Febuary 27- March 4
Omarr’s Astrological Forecast By Jeraldine Saunders ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Get that heart rate up. Find ways to release pent up energy and clear your mind for the upcoming week ahead. Make sure to leave your schedule flexible as romantic interludes could suddenly pop up without warning. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Have it your way. You are able to use your charms and wiles to get nearly anyone to fall into line. Put your social acumen to good use by reconciling differences, asking for favors or making new acquaintances this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Find your support group. You’ll find that those who care about you the most will provide the enthusiasm you need to get your ideas off of the ground. A significant other may make the rest of the world seem to stand still later in the week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Stick to your convictions this week. Don’t back down when it comes to letting others know where you stand on specific issues. Avoid getting too deep into conversations involving subjects of which you have little or no knowledge. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Family comes first. Schedule time to pay attention to loved ones as work may take up too much of your time this week. If someone approaches you for advice, be helpful and enthusiastic as criticism could be poisonous. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t compromise your values. In the heat of the moment, you may feel compelled to say or do something that goes against everything that you’ve been taught. Steer clear of confrontations in the week to come. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Bury the
hatchet. There’s no point in allowing ill feelings to fester. You can improve everyone’s mood by taking steps towards reconciliation. Matters of romance and relationships may take precedent as the week progresses. SCORPIO (Oct. 23- Nov. 21): Nothing stands in the way of progress. No matter if you take baby steps or giant leaps forward you get closer to achieving your goal. Don’t shrug off a commitment or promise this week just because you don’t think it’s important. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22- Dec. 21): Play it cool. Don’t allow someone to get under your skin this week as this may be precisely the reaction they were looking for. Find constructive outlets to blow off steam such as sports or tackling chores around the house. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 19): May the force be with you. Just have a little faith that the universe is working with you and not against you, and everything will turn out for the best this week. Someone may be willing to help more than you anticipated. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb. 18): A well-tended garden blooms best. Don’t expect projects to become rousing successes unless you have provided the proper care and attention to making them work. Romantic prospects are likely to improve in the week ahead. PISCES (Feb. 19- Mar. 20): The means don’t always justify the ends. Giving simply to help out those in need is a wonderful thing, while giving to receive kudos is not quite as admirable. Ethical questions may seem irrelevant but could impact the future.

Wolfgang Puc
Cuban Sandwich Proves That A Panini By Any Other Name Tastes Just As Delicious By Wolfgang Puck
As a chef with restaurants on three continents and the good fortune to travel and eat my way around the world, I am always fascinated to see how so many dishes that may at first seem unique to a particular cuisine actually have close cousins in other countries. Fried chicken, for example, is undeniably all-American; yet, I grew up eating wonderful skillet-fried chicken in Austria, and chunks of crispy chicken are popular bar snacks in Japan. Then there’s my grandmother’s pot ato -and- cheese-st uffed du mp lings, remarkably similar to Italian ravioli and Chinese pot stickers. Now consider the sandwich. It may owe its name to the English nobleman who, because he couldn’t be bothered to tear himself away from the gambling table, asked his meat to be served between two slices of bread. But that doesn’t fully explain why so many countries today claim sandwiches all their own. Take the panini, Italy’s own signature pressed sandwich. Yes, people across Europe and North America have enthusiastically taken to it, coming up with all sorts of variations involving different breads, cheeses and other fillings and seasonings. Still, other countries have their own griddled sandwiches. There’s America’s lunchtime classic, grilled cheese, for example. One of my favorite panini cousins, though, is the Cuban sandwich, which originated about a cent ur y ago among Cuban im mig rants in southern Florida. It’s one of the most generous grilled sandwiches I have encountered, featuring cheese and a generous assortment of cured and cooked meats, plus pickles and mustard, cooked not between two slices of bread but inside a length of long, slender French bread. Better still, the sandwich is weighted down to press it as thinly as possible, to produce a wonderfully crusty, crunchy exterior that complements the hot, rich filling bound together with melted cheese. This is no ordinary panini. Yet, as special as it sounds, a Cuban sandwich is still incredibly quick and easy to make at home. You can use any assortment of fillings you want, including roast pork or other leftover meat. Just be sure to include yellow ballpark-style mustard and sliced dill
pickles to achieve just the right tangy f lavor. The other key is to not just to cook the sandwich inside a panini grill, but also to weigh down the grill with a brick or heavy cans (placing them carefully for even pressure and so they don’t slide off ). You’ll be amazed by the difference these few little secrets make to the results. And I predict that, once you try it, you’ll make Cuban Sandwiches a regular part of your own home cooking repertoire. CUBAN SANDWICH Serves 1 1 length French or sourdough baguette, cut to fit your panini grill 3 to 4 tablespoons mayonnaise 3 to 4 tablespoons yellow mustard 2 to 3 thin slices Swiss cheese 4 to 6 thin slices smoked or cured ham 4 to 6 slices salami 6 thin lengthwise slices dill pickle 3 or 4 slices roast pork, or other meat of your choice 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened Preheat an electric panini press or a hinged electric counter top double-sided grill. With a serrated bread knife, cut the length of baguette horizontally in half. Evenly spread both cut surfaces of the bread with mayonnaise, then mustard. Arrange the bread halves coated side up on a work surface. Layer the bottom half of the bread with the Swiss cheese. Then, in even layers, arrange the roast pork, salami, ham and pickle slices. Press the top piece of the baguette onto the filling, compacting the sandwich evenly. Brush the top of the bread with butter. Place the sandwich in the preheated panini grill. Weigh down the top of the panini grill with a brick wrapped in foil or with two large cans of tomatoes or other canned goods, placing them for even weight distribution and to avoid them possibly slipping off. Cook the sandwich until the filling is heated through, the cheese is melted and the bread is well browned and very crusty, about 5 minutes. If you want to cut the sandwich in half, use a serrated knife and a sawing motion to avoid squeezing out the filling. Serve immediately.
