Budget Maintains School Services

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The average homeowner will see a $56 increase in their school taxes this year. The Manchester Board of Education approved its proposed $55.71 million budget at a special May 4 meeting. The budget maintains all staff, programs, and services while adding a new elementary school vice principal, new high school courses, and Chrome books among other items. This is all accomplished, Superintendent David Trethaway said, while still staying $179 per student below the state average on per-pupil spending, $14,557 to the state’s $14,736 according to final 2014-15 statistics. That gap may widen for this year, with Manchester spending $201 less per pupil than the state average, $15,095 compared with $15,296. “It’s a challenge, but we were able to maintain our staff, which was great. We were still able to upgrade our technology and our facilities. I think for that part I’m very happy with where we are right now,” Trethaway said. “Considering some of the other things going on in other districts, I’m –Photo by Kristy Butler-Henry U.S. Army Sgt.

K-9 Body Armor Donation Honors Resident

By Catherine Galioto MANCHESTER – Police dogs need police vests, too. The latest member of the K-9 unit in Manchester to receive one is K-9 Lynk, whose body armor arrived recently thanks to donations. K-9 Lynk received the bullet and stab protective vest thanks to a charitable donation from the non-profit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc., which was sponsored for Lynk by Joanne Wright of Manchester. The vest is also embroidered with the sentiment “In loving memory of Wayne T. Wright - Be safe.”

Joanne Wright’s contribution to the police department did not end there, as she also made a monetary donation in support of the Manchester Township Police K-9 Unit. Chief Lisa Parker accepted the donation from Joanne Wright at police headquarters in the presence of Manchester Business Administrator, Donna Markulic, K-9 Unit supervisor, Lt. Vincent Manco, K-9 Handler, Ptl. Steven Wendruff and his K-9 partner, Lynk. “We, the members of the Manchester Township Police Department express our sincere gratitude to both Joanne Wright and (Body Armor - See Page 4)

the Vested Interest in K9s Organization for their generosity and support of our K-9 Unit,” Manchester Township Police Chief Lisa parker said in a prepared statement. Through Vested Interest in K9s, the donation to provide a vest is $1,050, though the vests themselves are valued at up to $2,234 with a five-year warranty. The body armor weighs 4 to 5 pounds on average and is made in the U.S. Since its inception in 2009, Vested Interest in K9s provided over 1,800 protective vests, in 49 states.

arrived in Manchester May 5. It was a nerve-wracking week for Kristy, who knew Harrington arrived back in the states April 26, to Baltimore from Kuwait, to Texas from Baltimore. He left some bags with friends in Baltimore to lighten his load. “Knowing he’s here in the states eased my heart, but the anxiety of not knowing exactly when I was going to be able to see him, awaiting his arrival settled in heavy. I didn’t find out my husband was flying in to LaGuardia airport on Wednesday May 4 until Tuesday May 3 in the afternoon,” Kristy told The Manchester Times. “We had decided I would pick him up at the airport, stay at his mother’s, and the following day surprise the kids in school. Since we had already talked about me going to Maryland to get his bags a few days earlier, I told the kids he needed me to get them now and they had to stay at a friend’s house since they had school.” As they drove home across Route 70, a curious sight appeared. “As far as the being escorted by the police department, I left that as a total surprise for my husband, insisting we needed to be at the high school at 10 a.m., when really we needed to be at the border. As we were approaching I could see the lights from a distance. I looked at my husband and said ‘Oh, see the lights, I wonder what’s going on, can you see?’” Kristy said. “He continued to look at his phone as he glanced up and said, ‘No.’ I chuckled and said, ‘They are

He thought I was joking until I was asked to pull to the side and two officers came by and thanked him for his service then told me to follow the cruiser in front of me. In total disbelief, with a smile from ear to ear, he was in total surprise. I was too, as I did not expect it to be as grand as it was.” Kristy continued: “Sgt. Hemhauser only approached me one week prior asking if it was okay and only had a day’s notice. We also discussed how it would be nice to do this for all who are returning home in our town to honor them, but currently there is not a roster for notification.” He arrived home that morning in style with Kristy, accompanied by a police escort from Route 70 in town to his residence in Summit Park. But the morning’s visit wasn’t over yet. Led by Chief Lisa Parker, a group of uni-

formed officers lined up in the classrooms of the Henry’s three children—Amaris Butler, a sophomore; Loghan, a fourth grader; and Aaron, a Kindergartener—before Kristy entered into the classrooms to record the happy reunions. Harrington entered the classrooms after, with the two youngest children exclaiming “Daddy” and running into Harrington’s arms. With each surprise and family reunion came applause from classmates, police and school staff. Amaris played it a bit cooler, but only at first. All the children gave their father warm, long hugs. The recordings capture an emotional Kristy as well, off camera but laughing and choking up. “Amaris told me she thought someone in her class was in trouble. She said she didn’t realize it was Daddy until she saw me,” Kristy said. “Loghan was ready to listen

to what the ‘presentation’ was going to be about with all the students’ backs turned to the door, facing Chief, he walked in saying, ‘Where’s Loghan!’” “And for Aaron, they said a very special person is here and they want to know who recognizes him. Aaron with his hand stretched high quietly in disbelief said, ‘Daddy,’ got up and ran to him,” Kristy said. Harrington was deployed for nine months in Iraq, working with the Iraqi army in its logistical efforts to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). He serves with the U.S. Army’s 77th Sustainment Brigade stationed out of Fort Dix. A press release issued by Parker’s office detailed Kristy’s own battle on the home front. Last fall, a neighbor’s house was shot at multiple times on different days. Kristy, fearful for herself and the children (Homecoming - See Page 7)

and with Harrington not home, moved the children from their bedrooms to a floor behind concrete walls. The Manchester Times reported back in December that Nathan Avenue in Summit Park was the site of two related shootings, the first on October 15, and the second a week later, October 23. The first time, 12 rounds were fired on a property on Nathan Avenue. Five more rounds were fired Oc-

really happy that we were able to maintain staff and maintain facilities and actually improve our technology.” Much of the budget is out of the administration and Board’s hands, with the state mandating pension and health care costs, and the contract determining staffs’ salaries. But the district looks for savings where it can, Business Administrator Craig Lorentzen said, saving nearly $5 million through cooperative agreements with the township, other school districts, and energy and other cost-saving programs. The district also relies upon donations from the PTA,

The Manchester Times, May 14, 2016, Page 7 tober 23. The tenants in that house had left shortly thereafter. She started a neighborhood watch soon after, with the help of Det. Sgt. Chris Hemhauser. The department credited the Watch with helping lead to the arrests of “numerous individuals.” Though things have quieted down in Summit Park, the neighborhood watch continues. “The community watch is going strong. We are surrounded by great neighbors throughout the neighborhood, who still are supportive in making this community

a safe, fun place to live and raise kids,” Kristy said. “It is apparent that bravery and commitment to service runs strong in this family”, said Parker. A video of the reunions posted by the Manchester Township Police has been watched nearly 69,000 times since it was posted. And Harrington changed his Facebook profile picture to update his look. “It’s good to be home, to catch up on stuff that I missed, after living in a trailer for eight months,” Harrington told The Man-

chester Times. His top two things to do now that he’s home: fly his flight simulator and be around the kids. Kristy has more plans. “Go in a vacation long enough to relax, play, have fun with the kids and live in a bubble with each other as if nothing else in the world mattered, meaning no rush to get back, but life goes on and there are always things to do. House, school, work, animals, yard…It almost feels like everything is the same but we just need to adjust to sharing responsibilities again. Which takes time.”

Educational Foundation, “Donors Choose,” and fundraisers to help defray costs. “We’re satisfied with [the budget]. Any time you put a budget together where you maintain your staff and programs, that’s a good thing. We’re still focusing on technology. It’s a good budget,” Lorentzen said. The district stayed under its state-mandated 2-percent cap without taking any exceptions. “There are districts around us that are having a tough time, and luckily we’re in a position where we’re not quite there yet. It could be coming, but this year, we’re good.” The district, although receiving $50,000 more from the state than usual, is still $1 million short of its 2009-10 state aid. More than 80 percent of the school budget

is raised through local taxes. State aid accounts for 10 percent and federal aid 2 percent of the total budget, although the district expects to see that federal aid decrease 15 percent soon. Board President Donald Webster said as long at the state funding formula remains as it is, Manchester will not ever see its “fair share” of state aid. The township is considered a “wealthy” district based on enrollment numbers, population, and income. “We do what we can for our students, parents, and community. We’re fighting an uphill battle as we talked about the whole state aid deal, and it doesn’t look like that’s going to change any time soon,” Webster said. “And now it looks like we’re going

to be battling with the Feds. Apparently that new law that replaced ‘No Child Left Behind,’ buried in there is less money as they roll out those new mandates in the law.” It’s now the Every Student Succeeds Act, signed into law by President Barack Obama in December 2015. The average home in Manchester costs $157,000. The tax increase is $33 per $100,000 of assessed home value. “The impact on the taxpayers is okay. You don’t want to ever see taxes increase, so we do everything we can to keep that as low as possible,” Lorentzen said. The vote to approve was unanimous. BOE members Mary Walter and Christopher Nolan were absent.

Fortunately, we can change that because 80 percent of cardiac and stroke events may be prevented with education and action. As survivors of heart disease and stroke, we want women across the state to be more aware of their heart health. That’s why we’re uniting on May 20 at the 14th Annual American Heart Association Garden State Go Red For Women Luncheon. This day will raise critical funds and awareness for the nation’s top killers. The American Heart Association Go Red For Women movement, nationally sponsored by Macy’s, inspires

women to make lifestyle changes, mobilize communities and shape policies to save lives. United, we are working to improve the health of all women. In the past decade, more than 670,000 women’s lives have been saved and cardiovascular disease death in women has decreased by more than 30 percent. We Go Red to help create a culture of health for women and their families. Why? Life is why. Let’s unite to prevent heart disease and stroke. It’s time to put our hearts into it and Go Red For Women.

Letters To The Editor The Puzzle In The Middle East If you look at the Middle East, the countries there were poor desert countries. Local fighting had gone on between the different tribes since the beginning of time. Central governments had very little power. Fighting among all became a way of life. Then came “oil” and everything changed. The Western powers and Germany were after the oil at any cost. Then the U.S. joined in the battle for oil. Overnight the poor desert countries became multi-billionaires. They had the oil but didn’t know how to get it out of the ground, so they needed the help of Europe and the U.S. The Middle East reached wealth beyond their wildest dreams. In the midst of this, the local tribes kept on fighting with each other. The U.S. and Europe pumped machines and manpower with knowledge into the area. Everybody was happy, for all were making money. Now, at present, the entire Middle East is a war keg ready to blow. To make things worse, the U.S. with President Obama has wrecked the area. The U.S. made a deal with Iran to bring a phony peace at any cost. We stepped on everyone’s toes and forgot who our friends were. We are no longer trusted by all. This deal was supposed to bring peace with Iran; we gave away the candy store with no guarantees. Iran will get our money and our trust that they will stop their atomic program; in return,

the U.S. got nothing. We sold out Israel, our friends to the Middle East. Now we have the Saudis, who are supposed to be our closest friends in the area, who knew the deal the U.S. signed is phony, and they are going their own way. We have Iran and the Saudis preparing for war. Iran has a new friend, Russia, who is looking to expand in the area. Both the Saudis and Iran are looking to take over Yemen, which is now fighting a civil war; Syria, that has become a puppet of both Iran and Russia; Iraq, which we made a mess of and now is looking toward Russia for help; Turkey, which wants to bring down the government of Syria; Jordan, which is not sure which way to turn and Afghanistan at war with itself. It doesn’t seem possible, but the U.S. has lost the trust of Israel. In other words, we have made a total mess of the Middle East in the past seven years. President Obama will soon leave office and brought the Middle East to the brink of war. Is this possible that this has happened, brought about by one man? You no longer can tell the good guys from the bad. The President thinks he has saved the Middle East. He has no idea that he has helped to sink the ship and no one trust the U.S. Then to bring everything to a head, the Saudis execute 47 Iranians, including one cleric. What has the U.S. done in the area and what will come next? Herb Greenberg, Jr. Brick

Positive Effect Of FairTax Although the FairTax ‑ H.R.25/ S.155 in congress ‑ is a national consumption tax on new goods and services and government spending, and will eliminate all federal taxes on income and investment, it also features a “rebate in advance” (prebate) based on family size. Having the highest corporate income tax rate has resulted in Americans losing jobs as U.S. companies have relocated to tax-friendlier countries (inversions), because the corporate income tax is a “reverse tariff ” on our businesses. The FairTax ends the triple taxation of American multinational firms, i.e., profits being taxed – (1) abroad, (2) when dollars come home, and (3) when corporations pay dividends. Trade with foreign countries will boom under the FairTax as American made products leave our shores without embedded corporate income and payroll taxes, thusly, allowing U.S. goods to compete equally with foreign products. American companies will return home as will the jobs lost; and foreign companies will see the U.S. as a tax haven, and build their next job-creating plant here. With an estimated 10 percent embedded taxes removed by the FairTax, the prices of American made products will rise about 17 percent, whereas the cost of foreign goods sold here will rise about 30 percent. “Made in America” will appear on many more labels. The rise in prices will have no effect on our “purchasing power” as there will be no deductions of federal income and payroll taxes from our paychecks and pensions and social security benefits will be indexed due to inf lated prices. All families will receive the prebate, which untaxes citizen families on their spending up to

the poverty level, while millennials and low and middle income earners can purchase FairTax-free used automobiles, buy homes on resale, save more, or invest their additional cash. The FairTax will tax governments on all levels for their purchases of new items and the salaries/wages of their employees so that private companies can compete with governmental agencies on a “level playing field” in areas such as garbage collection and utilities – i.e. ,water, gas, electric. Otherwise, a town council could float a bond or impose a tax to fund a purchase or project, whereas, a private enterprise would unfairly bear the cost of raising equal revenues to provide a similar service for the town. Government enterprises such as the Postal Service and Amtrak will not pay the FairTax on their purchases or employee salaries since customers will pay the sales tax when they mail a package or buy a train ticket. By seeing the cost of the federal gover n ment on every retail sales receipt, citizens can hold elected officials accountable for the priorities that they choose. For example, to fight crime, terrorism, illegal drugs, and illegal immigration, the IRS employs approximately three times as many people as the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Border Patrol. The FairTax will eliminate the IRS as we know it. It’s time to end the notion that our paychecks, pensions, and social security benefits belong first to the federal government and then, af ter income and payroll taxes are withheld, to us. Our sons and daughters and our grandchildren should inherit our total estates. The FairTax will end these taxes along with the capital gains, alternative minimum, and gift taxes.

Senator Jim Holzapfel • Assemblyman Gregory McGuckin Assemblyman David Wolfe 10th Legislative District - Serving Manchester

Legislators Oppose JCP&L Proposed Rate Increase

NEW JERSEY – The recent proposal for a Jersey Central Power and Light rate hike has raised the concerns of the 10th District legislators who oppose this increase to its customers. Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Dave Wolfe and Greg McGuckin expressed their concerns over the crippling effects this increase will have on their

OCEAN COUNTY – The results of an energy audit undertaken by Ocean County through a program administered by the state Board of Public Utilities were unveiled recently at meeting of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders. “This audit is the result of an exhaustive examination of the first group of several buildings maintained by Ocean County,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Buildings and Grounds. “As it reaches its final stages, I look forward to sharing the results of the audit, which I believe will help with our energy needs into the future.” The audit looked at six facilities including the Ocean County Courthouse, the Ocean County Administration Building, the Ocean

constituents, particularly senior citizens. “Many of the constituents in our district, primarily senior citizens, who live on fixed incomes will feel the devastating effects of this proposed rate hike,” said Holzapfel. “This will create another unnecessary financial burden for those struggling to make ends meet.”

According to JCP&L, which has over a million customers in New Jersey, the rate increase would raise $142 million to maintain and build service reliability and customer service improvements. But this rate increase will raise a customers’ bill at an average of $5.58 or six percent each month. If approved, the new rates would take effect on

January 31. “This increase would charge customers six percent more for the same usage thus taking away and drastically limiting the customer’s ability to control the cost of their bill. Service reliability and customer service improvements have not been JCP&L’s priority for the last decade especially in our district. We fail to see

how a rate hike at this time would improve these areas,” continued McGuckin. This is the second proposed rate increase by a utility company in less than two months. New Jersey Natural Gas announced their plans to increase customer gas bills by 24 percent for necessary infrastructure improvements including a gas pipeline.

Ocean County Unveils Energy Plan

County Jail, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, the Ocean County Justice Complex and the parking garage all located in downtown Toms River. “These facilities total 1,022,775 square feet,” Vicari said. “They produce an annual energy bill of $2.3 million. “The audit will show how the county can reduce that bill and save money based on recommendations,” he said. Once the audit was approved by the BPU’s Office of Clean Energy, the county was next to receive the report containing recommended cost effective “self-funding” energy efficiency measures and facility upgrades that are designed to reduce operating expenses, save energy and reduce emissions. “The improvements may include upgrades to the lighting

systems, automated controls for lighting, upgrades to existing heating and air conditioning systems and some building improvements,” Vicari said. “This audit is another step in the county’s ongoing efforts to conserve energy and to reap the benefits of renewable energy savings.” “The BPU’s Clean Energy program promotes increased energy efficiency and the use of clean, renewable sources of energy,” said Michael Fiure, director of Management and Budget. “We began this process in late 2014 to participate in the Local Government Energy Audit to identify cost-justified efficiency measures.” Vicari noted 100 percent of the cost of the audit was paid for by a grant from the Office of Clean Energy. “This is an important step at

looking at our energy needs and how to reduce those costs,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, director of Law and Public Safety. “The buildings that were reviewed are those that have heavy use by the public with most being centers for government services.” Over the course of about three months, representatives from Concord Engineering visited each county location noted in the audit and did a complete review of the building. “They looked at electric and

natural gas usage, building architectural and engineering drawings, lighting systems, heating and air conditioning equipment and controls, roofs, windows, doorways, occupancy schedules and maintenance practices,” Vicari said. Vicari said the county will review all measures presented for each facility along with funding opportunities made available by the New Jersey Clean Energy program. “We expect that incentives may be available for some or all of the recommended

upgrades,” Fiure said. Vicari noted the county maintains about 135 buildings that house government services and programs. “We are always looking for ways to reduce our energy costs,” he said. “Some audit recommendations like upgrading lighting could be done quickly and provide a cost savings. Others may be done over time. All of the projects must provide energy savings and energy conservation measures to be considered for implementation.”

–Photo courtesy Maureen DeSanto Maureen DeSanto-Scott’s eighth grade math class shows off its new Boogie Boards thanks to donations through the DonorsChoose website. LAKEHURST – Community involvement in local schools is key to student success. At Lakehurst Elementary School, teachers have been benefiting from community involvement through an online donor program called “Donors Choose,” which allows anyone to donate to a teacher’s classroom through an online non-profit set up specifically to help students and teachers have access to the supplies they need. At Lakehurst Elementary School, four teachers have benefited so far this year from this program. One in particular, Maureen DeSanto-Scott, received a class set of “Boogie Boards,” low-tech devices that allow students to write or do math problems and then erase and start again. This product made DeSanto-Scott extremely happy because it supports her “Go Green” philosophy in school. “The process to submit the project request was easy, and my project was funded by donors within a few days,” DeSanto-Scott said. “A mix of anonymous donors with others who support my teaching brought my project to life very quickly. When the box of boards arrived at school a week later, the students were amazed that people they didn’t know cared so much to help us in our learning. It’s such a great program.” Other teachers at the school have also ben-

efited through the program. Scott received two iPads to help younger learning-disabled children better express themselves and learn in the classroom, Kotch received an iPad and class set of novels for her classes to read, LaMonica was able to procure computer games and coding apps for her technology classes to use and a video camera and green-screen were funded so the students in Barneman’s Spanish class could get creative as they learned a new language. “The best part of the process is that anyone can go onto the site and fund any projects that are listed – whether in their own school district or not. I’ve funded projects that other teachers across the country are doing that I believe are important in education. It’s a great way to help your own community. Donations as little as five dollars are sometimes matched by corporate sponsors, so the projects have a chance of being funded very quickly.” DeSanto-Scott plans on submitting other projects in the future, as do other teachers at Lakehurst Elementary School. “I hope everyone checks into the site to see what great projects are going on, and feels great satisfaction when they help them to become a reality.” To help fund projects in your area, visit donorschoose.org.

LAKEHURST – All three preschool classes at Lakehurst Elementary School celebrated Community Helpers Month by inviting in public servants from the local community for safety presentations. Lakehurst Police Officer and School Resource Officer Roberta Brooks brought in the school’s crossing guards to explain who they are, what they do, and how they help protect the students and their families. Officer Brooks explained that the police are students’ friends, they keep the community safe, and they are always willing to help out. The crossing guards, led by Jennifer Laymon, provided important safety instructions about crossing the road and watching out for cars. The preschoolers were fully engaged in this interactive and creative lesson presented by the crossing guards, who volunteered their time and the materials used. The preschoolers walked away knowing how to “Stop, Look, and Listen.”

Here’s To Your Health Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

What Should You Expect From Hearing Aids?

If your hearing loss has progressed to the degree that you need hearing aids, a critical factor in their success is your understanding and acceptance of realistic expectations of their capabilities. Hearing instruments, regardless of brand or type of technology, can never replace normal hearing in all listening situations. Expecting results that cannot be achieved will only lead to frustration and dissatisfaction. If you know what to expect, you’ll be free to enjoy the improvements that hearing aids can make in your life. Here are some guidelines that should help you formulate a realistic set of expectations. With properly fitted hearing aids, you should be able to hear many normal sounds that you may not otherwise be able to hear clearly, such as the voice of your client or the words of a loved one. You may also begin to hear sounds you have forgotten were part of your world, such as the hum of a motor on your refrigerator or the buzz of your florescent lights. In quiet circumstances, many hearing

aid users can achieve a performance level equal to normal hearing. But as the difficulty of the listening task increases, the gap between a person with normal hearing and a person with hearing loss widens. Hearing aids will not restore your hearing to normal. Science has not been able to match the human hearing mechanism. You’ll need time to get used to your new hearing aids to learn how to achieve maximum performance from them. Patience and persistence is the key to successful hearing aid use. Hearing aids will not filter out background noise, despite some advertising claims. Some hearing aids have circuitry that will avoid boosting the volume of some types of background noise, but this can also remove some of the speech you want to hear. This is usually a benefit, however, providing a more comfortable listening experience and better sound quality in some types of noisy situations. Hearing aids should allow you to understand speech more clearly, with less effort, in a variety of listening situations. Hearing aids should keep others from noticing your hearing loss.

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.

8 Reasons To Avoid Stearate In Your Supplements By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Some of you watch you r gluten intake, while others avoid artificial colors and sweeteners. Some of you read supplement labels, and others don’t. Today, I want to tell you about “magnesium stearate.” Magnesium stearate or “Mag stearate” for short is a chemical used by most nutritional supplement companies, and it’s an additive. It acts like a lube to run machines faster, so as to increase production and therefore profits. This substance consists of magnesium and stearate, which is a saturated fat. Think of it like bubble wrap around the ingredients of your supplement. It doesn’t function as a vitamin or mineral, and more impor tantly, it doesn’t give you “magnesium” like the name implies. Your body requires biochemical ‘work’ to pop the ‘bubble wrap’ and split the molecule apart into its backbone of magnesium and stearic acid. Once split, you get a negligible amount of magnesium, perhaps a couple of milligrams. So mag stearate is not a source of magnesium for your body, don’t be fooled by the name. Therapeutic doses of magnesium fall into the 200 - 800 mg range. If you read the labels of your supplements and see mag nesiu m stearate, you should know: 1. It’s not a source of magnesium for your body, don’t be fooled by the name. 2. It’s a mechanical lubricant intended to grease machines for faster production. 3. It has no nutritional value. 4. It’s an additive.

5. It’s sometimes sourced from Genetically Engineered hydrogenated oils. 6. It may affect the release time of active ingredients and slow it down. 7. It may reduce bioavailability of active ingredients, certainly makes it unpredictable. 8. It’s sort of like “grease,” it affects the digestive tract in sensitive folks. The sales people at the local store are often very intelligent, but they don’t always agree with me about mag stearate. Remember, it’s in almost every supplement made, and concealed with aliases like “stearic acid” or “vegetable stearate” and others. Most sales clerks will tell you it’s present in the supplement to give you “magnesium,” but as you’ve learned, this is not true. The one and only purpose for its use is to aid in the manufacturing process. This is not a toxic ingredient as far as I’m concerned, I’m just saying that it’s not good for you as it does not add any nutritional value and it may hinder absorption of the ingredients. No one can agree on this. In 2011, a World Health Organization report found cross-contaminants such as bisphenol A (BPA) and Irganox 1010, which is used in plastics, in a few batches of mag stearate. Even though this happened once, and never again, you deserve to know. I certainly don’t mean to alarm you or have you throw out every single supplement in your cupboard, but there’s nothing wrong with upgrading your formulas one by one. High quality supplement makers run their machines slower so they don’t need this lubricant. In the supplement world, you get what you pay for.

Manchester Receives Sustainable Jersey Award

NEW JERSEY – Sustainable Jersey recently announced the three townships and five school districts that will receive an Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) Fellow to provide on-site tech nical assistance with advanced sustainable energy projects. This technical assistance program has been made possible through funding provided by New Jersey

Natural Gas. “We are proud to partner with Sustainable Jersey and work together toward a common good, connecting communities with the resources they need to make wise energy choices,” said Anne-Marie Peracchio, director of Conservation and Clean Energy Policy for New Jersey Natural Gas. “This unique opportuni-

ty helps the host township and school districts bridge the gap between available resources and energy-efficiency initiatives. We hope they will leverage insights gained from the process into guidance that will enhance Sustainable Jersey and Sustainable Jersey for Schools action items for other communities to follow.”

Through the EDF Climate Corps fellowship program, Sustainable Jersey is pairing three specially trained fellows, typically MBA or similar graduates, with three townships and five school districts to provide expertise and support for evaluation, planning and implementation of projects that will help improve the energy performance of their respective buildings. The EDF Fellows will begin work with township and school district staff in June. The three townships and five school districts that were awarded an EDF Fellow submitted an application that was reviewed by Sustainable Jersey. “Supporting communities with technical expertise to do sustainable energy projects is an important step toward our goal of a sustainable New Jersey,” said Sustainable Jersey Co-Director Donna Drewes. “This assistance will result in lower energy costs and a reduced carbon footprint for each district and its schools.” Municipalities and School Districts Awarded an EDF Fellow include: Monmouth County, Howell Township and Howell Township Board of Education; Mor r is Cou nt y, Boonton Tow nship, Boonton Township Board of Education-Rockaway Valley School and Mine Hill Board of Education and Ocean County, Brick Township Board of Education, Manchester Township and Toms River Township.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Don’t You Know We Got That Money In The Bank

Dear Joel My husband won’t allow for me to make bank deposits using my smart phone. He says it isn’t safe. He is very phobic about passwords, stealing of identities, etc. Is it safe to deposit checks with a smart phone? Answer Although I am not a techie, I have many friends who are (lucky for me). I called them about your question. Most couldn’t answer it, claiming that is very specific technology. What I got out of this assignment is that using a smart phone as a bank teller is indeed safe. The problem is that it sometimes takes a few shots before it is accepted. I’m told that placing the check on a dark background will help. Most banks have

dollar limits per week or per month. That is done for the bank’s safety. Write “cell deposit” across the check after the check has been accepted, so that it can’t be re-deposited. What I suggest for you is letting your husband do the banking the way he wants to. People like him usually can’t be reassured enough to change. Don’t sweat the small stuff, and although this may be annoying, it is small stuff. 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.

By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – It was a search that sent helicopters with spotlights into the night sky and locked down local schools. But the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department announced at 11:34 a.m. May 9 that a wanted man who escaped from state prison has been apprehended, after a nearly weeklong search. Arthur Buckel was spotted late May 8 at the Forked River rest stop on the Garden State Parkway in Lacey, in a search authorities said continued into the morning of May 9. A tip from a driver who noticed someone in the woods led police to apprehend Buckel without incident, said Lacey Police Chief David Paprota. A Lacey detective

PRISON ESCAPEE APPREHENDED discovered the suspect near northbound mile marker 76.5 and held him at gun point. Lacey Detective Keith Pearce was assigned to a fixed surveillance position at the Forked River Rest Area of the Garden State Parkway in the event the escapee, Arthur Buckel, was either hiding in the area or might possibly return to the area, said the police chief. “While Detective Pearce was at the post with K-9 Officer Daniel Rotundo from the New Jersey Department of Corrections, a passing motorist reported possibly seeing a person in the woods along the northbound lane on the east side of the roadway at MM 76.5 in Lacey Township. Detective Keith Pearce responded immediately to the location near the rest stop and held the

subject at gun point. With the assistance of the New Jersey Department of Corrections Officer, escapee Arthur Buckel was taken into custody without resistance,” said Paprota. The chief commended the multiple-agency efforts after the first tip came in late May 8. “The members of the Lacey Township are very proud of Detective Pearce and all of our personnel involved in the operation since 11 p.m. last night. Our focus was on maintaining strategic positions throughout this event to ensure the safety of our residents,” said Paprota. Previously, the hunt was centered around Barnegat for Buckel, with store cameras at a CVS showing him walking in to buy gum. Buckel escaped from the Bayside Prison Unit at Ancora Psychiatric Hospital near Hammonton and Winslow Township, sometime on May 3. The 38-year old man was admitted to Bayside on November 20, 2015, and was serving a three-year prison term for aggravated assault, drug possession and burglary but was less than a month away from being considered for parole at the time of his escape. Earlier that morning, Paprota, in a post on the police department Facebook page, “advised that Arthur Buckel had reportedly indicated a desire to turn himself in and had been making arrangements through family and the NJSP involving the rest area on the

Arthur Buckel GSP but walked off prior of the arrival of the NJSP personnel.” Further details surrounding his apprehension were not yet available. A weeklong search temporarily had schools on lock down, though police said there was no immediate danger as police went door-to-door in Barnegat as part of the search May 4 and 5. May 9, Central Regional Schools announced there was a restriction on students going outside and teachers from holding class outdoors. Buckel was turned over to state police at the scene and transported to New Jersey State Prison, Trenton.

Understanding Bursitis – How Can Physical Therapy Help You? By Lori Hueberger, DPT, Barnegat Physical Therapist ANATOMY AND FUNCTION OF A BURSA Bursae are fluid filled sacs that aid in joint motion. There are over 150 bursae in the human body. Bursae are filled with synovial fluid (a lubricant) and they secrete this fluid to counter joint friction with movement. It functions to provide a cushion between bones and muscles and their tendons, allowing pain free movement. Without a bursa, the tendons would grind over the bones with each movement. When bursitis occurs, it is the inflammation of the bursa sac causing irritation and making movements painful and difficult. Bursitis occurs most often later in life, majority of individuals being over 40 years of age. You can see signs of bursitis if the affected joint feels achy or stiff, if it hurts more when you press on it or move it or looks swollen or red.

shoulder usually caused by repetitive throwing or overhead reaching. This is the most common of all the types. Prepatellar and pes anserine bursitis affect the knee joint and can be irritated with kneeling or stairs. Trochanteric affects the hip joint and can be caused by sudden increased amount of walking or jogging. This type may cause pain with lying on the affected side. Olecranon bursitis affects the elbow, also known as student elbow and can often result in swelling.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Conservative treatment is usually used first for the treatment of bursitis. This involves rest, ice and taking a pain reliever or anti-inflammatory medicines. If the bursitis is caused by injection, a prescribed antibiotic by a physician can be used. A corticosteroid injection can be used to decrease inflammation. Surgery may also be done to drain the bursa or remove it all together, which is a more rare option. Physical therapy is a highly affective and a less invasive option.

PHYSICAL THERAPY AND BURSITIS Physical therapist are educated and trained to help treat all types of bursitis. During the physical therapy evaluation, your therapist will take measurements to see what musculoskeletal deficits are present and design a personalized exercise program. The program will be targeted to your specific needs and will aim to improve several areas.

HOW BURSITIS IS DIAGNOSED Bursitis is often diagnosed through ruling out other pathologies and gathering a detailed medical history and physical exam. Imaging can be useful to diagnose bursitis; while X-RAY can rule out other pathologies, it cannot positively establish presence of bursitis. Ultrasound or MRI can be used to confirm the diagnosis.

COMMON CAUSES Bursitis can occur for a number of different reasons. Repetitive motions, muscle weakness, poor coordination, improper posture, direct trauma, surgery, calcium deposits, infection or autoimmune disorders can all directly cause bursitis and result in pain and irritation with joint movement.

TYPES OF BURSITIS Subacromial, prepatellar, trochanteric, olecranon and pes anserine are all common areas where bursitis can occur. Subacromial bursitis presents with pain around the

Increase Strength. Bursitis if often the result of weak musculature. Weak muscles can lead to injuries or coordination problems. By building up strength in the muscles, joints will move more efficiently and with improved mechanics, leading to decreased rubbing on the bursa and decreased irritation. Along with strength, power and endurance should be addressed since bursitis is often linked to overuse. Exercises may include free weights, therabands or weight bearing activities. Improve Range of Motion. Physical therapy will help restore normal motion in the affected joint. Overtime from bursitis, joint motion may decrease due to pain or soft tissue changes. Your physical therapist may address this with passive range of motion exercises and then progress to active and stretching. Since any pressure on an inflamed bursa can increase pain, it is imperative to stretch any soft tissue structures that are tight or shortened to decrease pain. Post-Surgical Care. Although surgery is not a common intervention used for bursitis, if it is performed then physical therapy can aid in your recovery. Your

physical therapist will create a personalized program to help you regain strength and range of motion in the most pain free and time efficient manner possible. Reduce Pain and Swelling. Modalities can be used to address the swelling in the joint. Therapeutic agents such as icing and electrical stimulation can be good way to modulate pain and decrease swelling. This in turn will allow for the underlying pathologies to be treated. Relative rest can also alleviate pain. Your therapist can instruct you in activity modification and altering movement patterns to decrease the stress placed on the joint. Reoccurrence Prevention. Once your bursitis is treated, your physical therapist will have provided you with a home exercise program. Bursitis can be a re-occurring ailment and your home program will help prevent this. By keeping up with the exercises, you will maintain your strength and flexibility. By making simple modifications you can reduce your risk for bursitis and decrease severity of flare ups. Your physical therapist will instruct you in proper lifting techniques, maintaining proper posture and educate you in the importance of stretching and warming up prior to strenuous exercise. At each one of All-Care Physical Therapy Center locations, our staff is knowledgeable and qualified to help you with bursitis. We will create an individualized exercise program to cater to your specific needs. Call for an appointment today!

Define the difference between what you really want and what you actually need. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A positive outlook will help you overcome obstacles in the upcoming week. Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are correct. Follow the lead of loved ones for the best results. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): New beginnings are necessary. This week you can start new projects and endeavors that will revolutionize your future. You’ll be surprised with the ease with which you achieve your business objectives. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep on plugging away. In the week ahead evidence will become apparent that your efforts to attain financial security are not in vain. A friend in deed may come through for you in the pinch. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Clean the slate and start afresh. Tackle business affairs in the week ahead and you’ll be rewarded for your industry. This is a good day to be among friends who enjoy your company. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t let sentimentality override common sense this week. You may give away precious funds that are needed elsewhere. Be generous because you feel it in your heart, not because you feel obligated.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): See the light. Gather advice this week and put it to good use. Don’t ignore friends and colleagues who give you an objective opinion about a financial matter before you take an irrevocable step. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Call the shots.

Expand horizons through creative activities and gathering knowledge. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t drop out of the race until you cross the finish line. In the week ahead your good intentions will mean nothing if you don’t faithfully follow and see a job through to the end. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do one thing well or many things poorly. Don’t let time or emotions become scattered in too many different directions in the week ahead. Focus on what is important and aim at a goal.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Fresh Fare: Omelet Recipe Features Farmers’ Market Veggies

By Wolfgang Puck

For the pancakes: 2 1/4 cups (560 mL) whole-grain pastry f lour or whole-grain cake f lour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 cup granulated sugar Pinch kosher salt 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Pinch freshly grated nutmeg 2 large cage-free eggs 1/4 cup (60 mL) sour cream 1 cup (250 mL) buttermilk 3/4 to 1 cup (185 to 250 mL) whole milk 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) fresh blueberries Confectioners’ sugar, to serve For the compote: 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) pure maple syrup 3 cups fresh blueberries In a large mixing bowl, sift the f lour. Add the baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Add the ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir with a wire whisk until thoroughly blended. In another mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until thoroughly blended. Add the sour cream, buttermilk and just over 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the milk; whisk until blended. Whisk in 4 table-

spoons of the melted butter. Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Thin the batter, if necessary, by stirring in enough extra milk for a thick, creamy consistency. Heat an electric nonstick griddle to 325 F (160 C) or heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drizzle a little of the remaining melted butter onto the griddle or skillet. Transfer the batter to a large glass measuring cup. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, form pancakes by pouring from the cup onto the griddle or skillet, using about 1 cup (250 mL) for extra-large pancakes or 1/3 to 1/2 cup (85 to 125 mL) for smaller ones. Sprinkle blueberries evenly over the pancakes. Cook until bubbles appear and pop on the surface and the undersides are deep brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with a little butter and f lip the pancakes with a spatula, then cook until browned, another 2 to 3 minutes. As soon as you start cooking the pancakes, make the compote. Combine the syrup and blueberries in a saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries are heated through and begin to color the syrup, 5 to 7 minutes. Keep warm. Arrange pancakes overlapping on individual plates. Spoon the compote over and around them. If desired, sift confectioners’ sugar over the pancakes. Serve immediately.
