PARCC Results A “Baseline” For District By Jennifer Peacock

MANCHESTER – While most Manchester Township elementary and middle school students met or exceeded the state’s expectations its first round, high schoolers in the district lagged behind both the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) and state language and math expectations. The assessments were graded on a 1 to 5 scale, with 1 being “did not yet meet expectations” and 5 being “exceeded expectations.” For example, 41 percent of high school juniors across the state met or exceeded the state’s English goals, while only 19 percent of Manchester juniors who took the test did. In Algebra II, the highest level math the PARCC tested, 24 percent of state students met or exceeded the state’s goals, while again, only 8 percent of Manchester students met the expectations. None exceeded it. “We promised parents an honest (PARCC - See Page 7)

The township hopes the 2016 Manchester Day grows on the activities of last year, above. By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Residents had a blast last year and can expect even more fun at the 2016 Manchester Day celebration, taking place noon June 25, with

a rain date of June 26, at Harry Wright Lake. “Last year was an incredible event, it reminded me of when I was younger going to Manchester Day. It was a lot of fun,”

Mayor Kenneth Palmer said. “I hope we don’t have a rain out like we did last year, which effected attendance a little bit but we still had a great turnout and we’re looking forward to

Tourism Numbers Show Peak Year

By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – County officials looked back to 2015 to predict an even stronger tourist season ahead. Saying tourism is the county’s number one industry, freeholders reported it counted for $4.6 billion of the local economy last year. That’s up from $4.3 billion in 2014. Those dollars are driven by attractions such as the oceanfront beaches, boardwalks and their attractions for day trippers and vacationers, but also in the Pinelands with Six Flags Great Adventure and the growing agri-tourism economy.

“There is no question that tourism is the number one industry in Ocean County,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari in a prepared statement. “These numbers prove that tourism is not only strong, but is growing.” Vicari’s comments followed a report from the state Division of Travel and Tourism on the statewide tourism figures from 2015, that said “good summer weather and the fading memory of Sandy helped” the year’s numbers grow. Statewide, tourism demand grew 3.3 percent in 2015, (Tourism - See Page 5)

Decision On Energy Agreement Between Ocean County Towns Expected Soon

By Daniel Nee Officials in Stafford, Lacey and Manchester townships will likely reach a decision soon on whether to enter into an energy aggregation agreement that would use collective purchasing power to lower utility rates for residents. Known as energy aggregation, the towns would place energy generation rates out to bid and award the lowest price for a one or two year period. Customers’ electric bills would still come from their traditional power company, but the Basic Generation (Agreement - See Page 7)

Joining Randolph in the outfield are Zach Coppola, who stole 19 bases with Williamsport last year after being drafted in the 13th round from South Dakota State, Jose Pujols, Damek Tomscha, who hit .282 with nine home runs as a BlueClaw last year, and Jiandido Tromp, who hit nine home runs, all in the second half, as the BlueClaws last year. The five player infield includes Josh Tobias, a 10th round pick from the University of Florida who hit .321 (third best in the NY-Penn League) with 12 stolen bases in Williamsport last year. He’s joined by Grenny Cumana, Brendon Hayden, who hit .291 in Williamsport after being taken in the 16th round from Virginia Tech, Jan Hernandez, and Emmanuel Marrero.

since February making plans for this year’s celebration. The Manchester Times caught up with Lynch, who was just wrapping up a very successful Easter Egg hunt. “We reach out to our vendors in January, that’s when they start building their schedules. So the planning starts well in advance,” Lynch said. “I’m hoping to beat last year’s record.” Vendors help make the fireworks and entertainment. Last year the department raised about $20,000 last year, a number she hopes to exceed for 2016. “[The vendors] help out tremendously. We look forward to that, as it relieves the taxpayers of money, It’s a great event with very little cost to the residents.,” Lynch said. “I’m a very competitive person, so I always like to beat my prior year, so I’m hoping to do

reaching $43.4 billion. The state uses figures such as its receipt of taxes on hotel beds, as well as the collection of tolls, employment reports, sales tax and more, to gauge its findings for the annual report. In 2015, Ocean County tourism generated $451.4 million in state and local tax revenue, and more than 37,000 tourism-related jobs were created here. That means Ocean County now accounts for more than 10 percent of all tourism dollars

The Manchester Times, April 9, 2016, Page 5 that again this year. Last year was the most money they ever raised for Manchester Day, probably about double what was ever raised.” Residents can look forward to the same great games and rides, but Lynch wants to make the activities more interactive too. “Overall I had nothing but positive feedback from everyone that was there. Everyone had a great time, it was a fun family event, lots for all ages to do, both young and old. There was so much different entertainment, contests and game that everyone can do,” Lynch said. “The residents like more of the interactive stuff, they enjoyed getting involved more. I think karaoke would be fun.” This is Lynch’s second time planning Manchester Day. Council Vice President Samuel Fusaro shared the interesting history of the day. A small group of volunteers put together the first celebration, which he said took place

June 5, 1993. “The main purpose for creating Manchester Day was to hold an event that’s sole purpose was to celebrate the town and its residents. Our goal was to put together a program that would have something for every age group and interest so. The first Manchester Day actually had separate morning and afternoon programs with the morning activities starting at Town Hall with a parade. The afternoon events were held at Harry Wright Lake Park,” Fusaro told The Manchester Times. The activities showed the varied community organizations coming together. “There were a lot of other things going on as well, the little league had set up a batting cage which the kids and some adults enjoyed, the Fire companies were providing rides around the park (this was before insurance regulations prohibited this) there were face painters, people making balloon animals

and probably over 50 vendors (food, crafts, non -profit info, etc.). The early June day was rather chilly (might have made it to 60 but barely) which kept most people out of the water. There was a good steady stream of people somewhat around 3,000 to 4,000 throughout the day which ended with an extended fireworks display,” he said. Because of those chilly early June days, the Day was moved to the Saturday before July 4. The morning programs were dropped and the entire event was held at Harry Wright Lake. The celebration morphed into an Independence Weekend Celebration, with the initial meaning of the day lost. Manchester Day was brought back for the town’s 150th anniversary by Palmer.

generated in the state, making it the third top county for tourism, behind Cape May and Atlantic counties. Monmouth County’s tourism economy is half of Ocean’s, at $2.4 billion, according to the state report. “We’ve seen a five percent increase in tourism dollars in only one year,” said Vicari, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Business Development and Tourism. “We fully expect to see this number grow with each passing season.” He predicted the figure could grow to $5 billion in the coming years. Both the state report and county officials

said 2015 was a peak year. The previous peak year was 2012, before Superstorm Sandy devastated the area. The growth, both said, is due in part of rebuilding efforts, as attractions in many areas are now open for subsequent seasons after closure or reconstruction from Sandy in the summer of 2013. In some areas, such as Seaside Heights, a number of attractions are still absent, while the Surflight Theater on Long Beach Island recently declared bankruptcy. Still, most beaches are open with boardwalks rebuilt, and that plus the season’s lower gas prices and strong weather helped bring more

visitors to Ocean County, spending more and staying longer than the previous peak season. “For more than 100 years tourists have been coming to Ocean County. People around the state and in New York and Philadelphia know the good things we have to offer,” said Freeholder Jack Kelly, who is also director of Law and Public Safety. “Our Tourism Department has done a great job reaching out to other parts of the country and to Canada in an effort to attract new visitors.” The complete state report can be found at state.nj.us/state/pdf/2015-nj-economicimpact.pdf.

Service provided by the power company would be replaced by whichever company wins the bid. By law, the rate of the winning bidder would have to be lower than the electric company’s rate. “It’s a very rigorous process, it’s time-consuming, but it has a lot of protections built in,” said Bob Chilton of Gabel Associates, a consulting firm working with the three towns on the energy plan. The idea of entering into an aggregation agreement is about three years old, officials said. Each municipality involved has already passed ordinances allowing

assessment regarding their children’s readiness to succeed in school and to graduate ready to meet the challenges of college or a career,” Education Commissioner David C. Hespe said back in October. “PARCC delivers on that promise. For the first time in more than 30 years, we have a test that is designed to actually improve instruction in our schools….This first year’s results show there is still much work to be done in ensuring all of our students are fully prepared for the 21st century demands of college and career.”

The Manchester Times, April 9, 2016, Page 7 the program to be put into place, but bids were never sought due to a downturn in the energy market that made the business case for entering into an agreement weak. Now, the market has changed, Chilton told Lacey Township committee members at a recent meeting. “After the winter of 2014 with the first polar vortex, the energy market completely changed. There was at least a year where we didn’t have successful bids,” he said. “The market has improved again in the last six months or so with energy prices coming back down.” Savings over the traditional electric utility rates for generation is now above 10 percent, Chilton said, the minimum amount of savings he would recommend must be

achieved before an aggregation program would be worth enacting. If the program is enacted, residents would be able to keep their budget billing option under the new provider, and those who receive government assistance with their energy bills would continue to receive those benefits. Any resident would be able to opt out if they wish, and residents with solar panels would not be included in the program unless they specifically requested to participate, as aggregation is often not beneficial to those customers, Chilton said. Stafford Township would act as the lead agency and seek the bids. Lacey and Manchester would pass resolutions allowing Stafford to award the bid on their behalf.

Lacey officials have already voted to allow Stafford to move forward. “The more accounts that we have, the better our chances are of getting a better number,” said Lacey Township Administrator Veronica Laureigh. Laureigh said Barnegat Township was approached about participating in the plan but did not show an interest in doing so. Chilton said he is planning on meeting with officials from Stafford and Manchester about going forward in the coming weeks. “The market’s good and it may not stay that way forever,” said Chilton. “We’re at that point where we have to collectively decide if we want to move forward with this and do the bid.”

Manchester’s Director of Curriculum Diane Pedroza said this year’s results were a baseline that could not be compared to other test scores. The results will “identify strengths and gaps that exist in curriculum and instruction.” Unlike Jackson Township administrators, who blamed disproportionate opt-out rates for their skewed numbers, Manchester administrators did not mention opt-out rates as affecting results when giving their presentation to the Board of Education. The New Jersey School Board Association published a piece by attorney Nicholas F. Savio in its November/December 2015 issue of School Leader, where he outlined

the state statutes which allow students to “opt-out” of school activities such as sex education class, dissecting animals, or refusing vaccinations on religious grounds. He argued that refusing to take state assessments is not legal. “Outside of the limited situations outlined, students must sit for and participate in all other modes of instruction, including testing. There is no provision in statute, code, or case law in New Jersey that allows students to opt-out from the state testing,” Savio wrote. It is a stand that Superintendent David Trethaway supports. On his district blog from last February, he stated there is no

“opt-out” of taking standardized tests. Even so, Hespe sent out a memo to districts back in September urging them to adopt procedures for dealing with students who refuse to take the test. PARCC results are one of several assessments students at Manchester can use toward their graduation requirements. Other tests include the SATs and ACT. However, groups like Save Our Schools NJ are urging parents to refuse the test on behalf of their children, and have templates for letters parents can send to the district superintendents and building principals. The 2016 PARCC assessments begin this month.

Featured Letter All Deserve Access To Healthy Food

According to a recent repor t by The Food Tr u s t , t h e He a lt hy Corner Store Initiative has helped to improve healthy food access in lower-income communities throughout New Jersey. The Food Tr ust, the New Jersey Par t nership for Healthy Kids and the American Heart Association convened a statewide task force to examine and address the needs of communities which lack access to nutritious foods. For many New Jerseyans, access to healthy, fresh foods is simply not an option. Without ready access to a supermarket, many residents shop at corner stores w h i c h of t e n s t o c k low-nut r it ive food s high in sugar and fat. A poor diet, including t hose h ig h i n sat urated fats, trans fat, sodium, sweets and sugar-sweetened bev-

erages, can increase risk for heart disease and stroke according to the American Heart Association. T he New Jersey Healthy Corner Store Initiative, along with support from legislation called the Healthy Food Retailer Act (A1877, S-1129), could make a positive health and economic impact in the Garden State. Not only do these initiatives improve access to healthy foods but they also help generate tax revenue and create jobs. Don’t all New Jerseyans deserve access to healthy, fresh food? You can help improve the health and quality of life for New Jersey residents by encouraging your legislator to support these important bills. Carol Gill, MD President, NJ American Heart Association

Company Needs To Patrol For Dead Street Lights I appreciate the interest and focus of the let ter from Bob Martino (The Ti mes, Ma rch 5, 2016, “Get What You Pay For”) regarding the cost to taxpayers for street lights in Berkeley Township and the steps to take in reporting a non-functional one. There are at least 12 non-working street lights along Route 9, North and S o u t h , f r o m B e r kele y Pla z a (Shop -R it e) a nd Rite-Aid to Wells Mills Road in Waretown. I drive this route every Saturday evening to and from Alber t Hall in Waretown. A lt h o u g h m o s t of t h e non-working lights I see are in Lacey and Ocean Tow n sh ips, it be nef it s the safety of all residents of Ocean County if there we r e a mo r e ef f ic ie nt method in place to deal with non-lit street lamps than that suggested by Bob Martino. Unless one lives in a residential neighborhood, it is difficult to identify one along the highway. During daylight hours it is impossible to determine a non-working light. During daylight hours and after sundown, it is dangerous to stop along the shoulder of the road to read a pole number. I suggest that a JCP&L c o m p a n y wo r ke r o r a county/state road maintenance worker periodically patrol Route 9 in the county portion of the

Letters To The Editor roa d af ter su ndow n to identif y a fault y light. A suitable vehicle with blinking emergency lights is safer on the shoulder of the highway than that of an ordinary citizen in his personal vehicle. Of course, if one can safely identify a non-working light in Berkeley Township then follow Bob Martin’s instructions given in his letter. He suggests that you call JCP&L at 888-544-4877 with the location and pole number. Camille Fanning Pine Beach

Re: “Origin of Morals” In response to the recent letter, “Origin of Morals.” Those who claim the Bible as the source of morality, have obviously never read it from beginning to end. No one in their right mind would consider the people of biblical times as role models for morality. Nur t ure a child f rom birth with love, respect and care, and you’ll likely create a well adjusted member of society, who will treat others with the same respect and care. It is only common sense to strive at creating a better world to live in. Isn’t that what morality is all about? Making the world a better place for us and all those who come after us. Reason, logic and critical thinking is the origin of morality. Ludy Morris Jackson

Today’s Voters W h at i s w r ong w it h vot e r s t od ay t hat t hey will blindly follow any char ismatic Pied P ip e r, no m at t e r wh at they say? We have had a l m o s t e ig h t ye a r s of this type of leadership. Have Americans been so dumbed down that they will believe any political con artist? I can understand the anger and frustration with politics, but t h e vo t e r s t h e m s elve s helped create this mess! Yo u h a ve p e o pl e w h o vote only for what’s-in it-for-me; and those who a re loyal on ly to t hei r pa r t y, no mat ter what. What about being loyal to what’s right and good for the whole countr y! We have one popular ca nd id at e who je opa rdized the security of the nation, then lied about it; another is a socialist that wants to give ever yone free ever ything–but the problem with socialism is you quick ly r u n out of other people’s money. Then you have the magician that is going to f ix whatever ails America, but no specif ic plan on how he is going to pull the rabbit out of the hat. And the list goes on. We all want a strong, loy a l , s el f- s a c r i f ic i n g leader. But we as Americans need to look in the mir ror. You cannot lift others to a level higher than the one on which you st and, and actions speak louder than words. Having inf luence is not about elevating yourself, but about lifting others. The sad part is our children are going to inherit this mess. My advice is, don’t check your brain at

Address Gender Wage Gap AARP supports a bill (S9 9 2) a w a i t i n g G ov. Chris Christie’s signature that would tremendously help women facing employment discrimination in pay and benefits. This bi- pa r t is a n leg islat ion should be made law to address continuing and persistent gender-based wage discrimination. In 2014, female f ulltime workers made only 79 cents for every dollar earned by men, a gender wage gap of 21 percent. The gender gap is worse for minority women. In 2012 the median annual earnings of Hispanic women were $28,424, just 54 percent of the median annual earnings of white men. Unless we act now, most women currently working will be long retired before equal pay for men and women is a common practice. According to projections from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, we’ll have to wait until 2058 – 42 years from now – before the gap in paychecks between men and women employed in the same occupations is expected to close. Women’s earnings are ever more impor tant to their families. More than 40 percent of children under 18 live in households where the mother is the sole breadwinner. Gov. Christie: Do the r ig ht t h i ng for women and their families. Please sign S992. Brian McGuire Princeton

bills that reflect conservative principles. Wolfe and McGuckin were named “Taxpayer Defenders” by Americans for Prosperity (AFP) for their pro-taxpayer votes on dozens of critical bills in the New Jersey Assembly. The

American Conser vative Union Foundation also recognized the 10th Legislative District lawmakers for their work in supporting bills that ref lect conservative principles. “It’s extremely difficult for families to make ends meet

because New Jersey has become so unaffordable,” said Wolfe. “For years, our taxpayers have been used as piggy banks. Greg and I understand the negative effect this has had on our residents and economy. Our priority has always been to

reduce the cost and size of government and we will continue those efforts.” “We are committed to opposing measures that drive up the cost of government and burden taxpayers with higher tax bills,” said McGuckin. “We have made it

our priority to defend the principles of ‘life, liberty and property’ as well as protect their pockets. We are honored to be recognized for our efforts by these two organizations who continually advocate for the taxpayer.”

From The Desk Of Freeholder Gerry P. Little Free Document Shredding Program Begins In April

OCEA N COU NTY – Ocean County residents can take advantage of securely disposing personal papers and documents through the county’s free Residential Document Shredding program beginning in April. “In 2015, a total of 94 tons or 188,000 pounds of documents were collected and shredded during our collection dates,” said Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management The program will be held in 18 different locations throughout Ocean County. “Ocean County is a large county and we make every effort to make this program easily accessible to all our citizens,” Little said. “With so much focus on identity theft this program helps to keep personal and important information out of the hands

of people who may use it for the wrong reasons.” “This program was first started in 2008 and has grown in popularity with our residents,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, who also serves as director of Law and Public Safety. “This Board of Freeholders is pleased to provide this service which, in addition to the environmental benefit, is an extra layer of security for our citizens.” The work is being performed by Autoshred of Toms River. Residents are not required to register for this free program and can bring six boxes or bags each day. The program is for all paper documents and paper forms. Paperclips and staples do not have to be removed. Little noted the shredding unit features an automatic feeding and dumping sys-

tem, which eliminates the need for human contact with a resident’s documents. Events will run their complete scheduled time or until the truck is full. The truck capacity is 8,000 pounds. The following is a list of dates, times and locations for the Residential Document Shredding Program: April 23, Manchester Township Public Works Yard, 1360 Route 70, Manchester Township, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 4, Little Egg Harbor Township Community Center, 319 West Calabreeze Way, Little Egg Harbor Township, 9 to 11 a.m. May 14, Plumsted Township, Lakeview Drive just south of Oakford Lake Park, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 4, Ocean Township Municipal Complex, 50 Railroad Avenue, Waretown, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Township Participates In National Library Week

By Catherine Galioto MANCHESTER – The mayor and council proclaimed April 10 to 16 this year as “National Library Week.” The proclamation, issued at its March 28 meeting, encourages all residents to visit the Ocean County Library this week to “take advantage of the wonderful library resources available at your library,” according to the proclamation.

Libraries provide “equitable access to information for all library users” and are going beyond “their traditional roles…providing more opportunities for community engagement and deliver new services that connect closely with patrons’ needs.” Manchester isn’t alone in announcing its appreciation of libraries for National Library Week, as many other local towns issued similar proclamations at their government meetings.

Schools’ Bandwidth Grows As More Devices Added

By Catherine Galioto MANCHESTER – The number of wireless devices the school district uses for curriculum and operations continues to grow, particularly as more classrooms use laptops for each student, officials said. Manchester Township School District’s Technology Coordinator Chip Conover discussed these points with the board in a technology report at its February meeting. The technology budget has remained constant, he said, and gave a break-down of the volume of devices in current use: 2,800 Chromebook laptops, 300 iPads/Kindles tablets, 900 desktop computers, interactive projectors in almost every instructional space in the district, document cameras 65 laptops and over 400 printers. The district has an enrollment of about 3,000, according to its website. The district uses a service known as E-Rate which generates approximately 60 percent of the costs submitted under the new guidelines, which is about $90,000, Conover said. The bandwidth needed to run all these devices has grown year over year. Conover

said bandwidth was expanded this past year to accommodate all the new devices. The school district went from 400mb to 600mb coming into the main hub and from 10mb to 500mb out to the schools. At the February meeting, Conover said the server replacement, upgrades to wireless access points and equipment replacement for older Chromebooks and Projectors will need to be considered. Chromebooks are the laptop of choice of the district, which have a warranty of three years. Board Member Mary Walter asked if three years is the typical life of a Chromebook. Conover said 3 to 5 years of use is typical, depending on the device. The devices can still be used but they are no longer supported and are outside their warranties. Board Member Jacqueline Paolillo asked why the district choose Chromebooks over Apple devices, and Conover replied the Chromebooks were more compatible with testing such as PARCC, and this brand is often cheaper than an Apple product. “The price point of the Chromebooks allowed us to put more devices in students hands,” he said.

My Hearing Aid Stopped Working Again If your hearing aid is not working, check the following items: 1. Battery ‑ Put a brand new battery in the hearing aid. Be sure the battery is the right size and is inserted correctly. If you have trouble closing the battery door, the battery is in backwards. Don’t save batteries once they have been used, as they tend to get mixed up with the new ones. 2. Battery Door ‑ Be sure the battery door is closed completely (snapped shut) when the hearing aid is being used. 3. Wax ‑ Wax is the most common cause of hearing aid breakdown. Look at the canal end of the hearing aid and see if there is wax in the small portholes. You will need to use a bright light (i.e., flashlight) to see into the sound tube. If the tube is clogged with wax, use the little wire tool provided with the hearing aid or a soft toothbrush and briskly brush the wax out of the hearing aid (hold the hearing aid downwards so the wax will flow toward the floor). 4. Correct Positioning – Be sure that the hearing aid is positioned in the ear correctly and pushed firmly, but not forcefully, down into the ear canal. Looking in the mirror is sometimes helpful to make

sure your hearing aid is not sticking out of your ear. Sometimes a hearing aid hurts the ear and people try to avoid the problem by pulling the aid out of the ear a little. Don’t do this. If the aid hurts, you should contact your audiologist and set up an appointment immediately. Be sure the hearing aid is in the correct ear. Most hearing aids have a red marking for the right ear and blue marking for the left ear. 5. Tubing – If the hearing aid is a behindthe-ear type, check to be sure the tubing is not twisted, cracked or plugged. Hold it up to the light and look for drops of moisture in the tubing. If the tubing does not look normal, contact your audiologist immediately so the tubing can be replaced. 6. Whistling – If the hearing aid whistles, make sure the hearing aid is inserted correctly. Be sure the volume is not turned up too high. Finally, make sure your ears are not clogged with wax. 7. Booklets – Read the instruction booklets that came with your hearing aid. They are very helpful in troubleshooting any problems that you may be having with your hearing instruments.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

Here’s To Your Health Dear Pharmacist

Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

7 Simple Ways To Detox By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Do you just basically accept that you have a lot of gas, cramps or belly bloating? Some of you just find yourself analyzing what you ate, or cutting some food out of your diet, naming it as the “offender” even if it’s not. Do you just assume you need a new medication to make yourself feel better? That’s so crazy, don’t layer a drug on top of your problem! I recommend you do a gentle detox of your system rather than keep doing what you’re doing, eating what you’re eating and then adding all sorts of synthetic chemicals in an effort to improve digestion: Laxatives, antacids, anti-gas pills, lactose pills, diarrhea aids or acid blockers. Some of you take several of these in a single day! So what is the best way to detox? I’m not asking you to drink nothing but water or soup every day, although you could try that for a few days, it’s termed a “fast” and there are many variations of a fast. You can be proactive and take action without taking drugs just to eat comfortably. The question is what is the underlying problem for you? You’ll need testing. Is it an infection like SIBO, or H. pylori? Is it low acid or high? Is it a food sensitivity? Certain symptoms show you that you have too many toxins that keep you on overload. Keep in mind that your brain is your second gut, and since there is a biochemical highway connecting them, signs of toxins in your gut show up in your the brain. So for example, you may have migraines or headaches, word

finding problems, irritability, mood swings and anxiety. But remember it’s in your gut, and in your bloodstream. If it’s backing up there, it’s backing up in your brain too, hence all the head-related problems. Consider the following choices and have a candid conversation with a holistic-minded practitioner. Don’t just run for more laxatives. This is what I would do to reduce debris in my system: 1. I’d eliminate concentrated dairy (butter, yogurt, cheese). 2. I would begin a greens superfood blend (wheat grass, chlorella, etc) because these bind toxins and metals from your gut, these are sold everywhere. If you have concerns about your thyroid condition, look for “goitrogen-free” blend, otherwise, any green superfood will work. 3. If you have serious brain issues, I would ask the doctor for a prescription binder like cholestyramine or colestipol, these are cholesterol-reducing medications. 4. I would eliminate fast foods, or those containing artificial dyes, corn syrup and MSG. 5. Chia seed oil, Salmon oil or Hemp oil, choose one and take daily. 6. Drink more, especially hot lemon water, and herbal teas like rooibos and tulsi. 7. Take a good probiotic as a dietary supplement. Consider digestive enzymes with every meal. I would take both if it were me.

Dear Joel

Murat Karatepe, M.D. FACC

By Joel Markel

Board Certified in Cardiology, Nuclear Cardiology & Echocardiography

Another Day Older And Deeper In Debt

Dear Readers As I began to write this week’s column, my assistant brought me today’s letters and I want to address this readers concerns. A woman is heartbroken over an older son (in his 50s) who is not capable of managing money. A sibling had been put in charge, and, after what sounded like much grief, refused to do it any longer. She is in her 80s and I’m sure she is concerned about the future, perhaps when she passes. I receive many similar letters, but hers touched me in a certain way. Answer: When there is someone who is incapable of managing their own affairs there are many alternatives. In this case it sounded as if this son was irresponsible with money. Mishandling money often comes with illness. People who are bipolar can have episodes of selling the farm in exchange for luxuries etc. They are not in a healthy state of mind and are delusional about outcomes and consequences. The same goes for people with addiction issues. In this Dear Joel letter, it sounded to me as

if she at one time managed her son’s money and then delegated it to another son. They both had enough and will not do it any longer. For all of you who may have similar issues, there are guardians that can be trusted to take on this role. You can start with an elder law attorney or trust and estate lawyer. Banks have departments that for a fee will manage finances for those who are not capable. Certain people that we meet at Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing services cannot trust their children and turn these responsibilities over to an attorney or bank or financial planner. You can also start with social workers which are in abundance here in New Jersey. If there is not enough money to pay for a money manager, there is certainly enough to have a consultation with any of the above. Start somewhere and move in a different direction. Doing the same thing over and over again will accomplish nothing. Best of luck. 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.

A significant percentage of the motor vehicles that travel though ou r com mu nit y are either u ninsured or underinsured. To protect against the harms and losses caused by uninsured or underinsured motorists, automobile insurance companies are obligated by law to provide u ninsu red motorist (UM) coverage to those motorists who purchase Standard policies. Although underinsured motor ist ( U I M) coverage is not mandatory, typically they are sold hand-in-hand with UM endorsements and are found in virtually all Standard automobile insurance policies in New Jersey. As the name suggests, UM/UIM coverage is that element of an insured’s own policy of insurance under which he or his family may be compensated for injuries and losses suffered at the hands of an uninsured or underinsured motorist. This coverage also applies when you are injured as a passenger in someone else’s vehicle. UM/UIM insurance is very in-

expensive yet very important. It is designed to protect you and your family. For instance, you are sitting at a red light minding your business when all of the sudden a drunk runs a red light, crashes into your vehicle and causes you to spend the next week in the hospital with multiple permanent, internal injuries. Your only source of compensation for pain, suffering and unpaid medical bills may come from your UM/UIM insurance policy if the drunk was uninsured or underinsured. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. And although the failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment, many people deliberately do not carry insurance or do not realize that their insurance policy has expired or been cancelled. Never rely upon a stranger to protect you and your family. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is your responsibility. Call the attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

The Manchester Times, April 9, 2016, Page 31 For the week of April 9 - April 15

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast By Jeraldine Saunders ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Look on the bright side. Finding humor in even the direst situations can help improve your mood as well as the moods of those around you. Try something new and exciting this week with a special someone to get a fresh perspective. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Go your own way. Make your own plans and set your own agendas to accomplish what’s best for you in the week ahead. You’ll find that being among close friends or loved ones will give you the most satisfaction. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t beat around the bush. Remember that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Solve problems this week by meeting them head on. A social function could be enjoyable even if you are hesitant to attend. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Enthusiasm can be contagious. Showing support for someone else’s project can help them get the ball rolling quickly. Taking a more optimistic approach in the week ahead can help you overcome life’s little obstacles. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): All work and no play can be monotonous. Take some time to enjoy the spoils of your labors in the week ahead. Treat yourself to a pretty bauble or treat someone else to a pleasant excursion. Put important decisions in perspective. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t press the issue. If someone chooses to withhold information, it’s probable that they have a good reason. Concentrate on finding enjoyable ways to pass the time when you aren’t indulging in heavy thinking

in the week ahead. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Catch spring fever. Make the most of each day this week by getting out in the sun. Tackle some gardening, go to a ball game, or just take a stroll in the park. Any activity that allows you to get some fresh air and stretch your legs will do the trick. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be hospitable. Put out a big spread for friends and visitors to show that you truly are the host with the most. Being generous and sympathetic to the problems of others is likely to win you respect and admiration in the week ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Great minds think alike. Sharing your ideas with close friends and confidants can yield perspectives and insights as the week unfolds. Be decisive when faced with tough choices and avoid over thinking issues. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t worry, be happy. Avoid fretting over events that are beyond your control as the week goes by. You are powerless to influence the outcome. Maintain a positive attitude that everything will turn out for the best. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Change can be for the better. A new diet can improve your health, a new perspective can improve your psyche, or a new routine can improve your productivity. Listen to the advice of knowledgeable peers this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Dare to be different. Don’t be shy when it comes to meeting new people or experiencing new things this week. You’ll be far more satisfied by straying off the beaten path and searching for unique adventures. (c) 2016 TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.
