Sixth Avenue Park Slated For Upgrades By Jennifer Peacock M A NCH EST ER – A major upgrade to a troublesome park will install new equipment at the Sixth Avenue Park in Pine Lake. The site is the second one the township announced recently will receive a fresh set of equipment. The Manchester Township Council approved the purchase of playground equipment for $100,981.39 that will be installed later this year at Sixth Avenue Park in Pine Lake. Earlier this month, the township announced a “playground for seniors” would be installed at Harry Wright Lake. The Sixth Avenue playground would include traditional equipment for children, such as slides and climbing activities. “The new playground will be a major upgrade from the existing facility. It will be a ‘safari’ theme with many

Enforcement Detail Returns To Busy County Road

By Daniel Nee OCEAN COUNTY – A year after officials hailed an enforcement detail on a major, accident-prone county road as a success, law enforcement agencies announced they will refocus their efforts on the roadway. The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office will renew its detail along Route 539, which traverses the western portion of Ocean County, from Little Egg Harbor Township through Plumsted. “Last year’s initiative concluded with over 600 vehicle stops and zero fatalities for the 32 day effort,” said Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato. “The great news is that we have continued to see zero fatalities to date. We want to not only celebrate that success, but use the detail to educate drivers of the wonderful end result of driving responsibly.” The new detail will run through August 28, officials said. A summer detail is important, Coronato said, because the 38 mile-long roadway is a major back artery for vacationers heading to both of Ocean (Road - See Page 4)

They saw the Beatles conquer America and America conquer the race to the moon. A senior citizen is someone who is 65 and older, according to the federal government, and persons worthy of recognition for their wisdom and accomplishments. August 21 is National Senior Citizen Day, proclaimed a yearly commem-

oration by President Ronald Regan back in 1988. “Throughout our history, older people have achieved much for our families, our communities, and our country. That remains true today, and gives us ample reason this year to reserve a special day in honor of the senior citizens who mean so much to our land,” Regan’s proclamation stated. “With improved health care and more years of productivity, older citizens are reinforcing their historical roles as leaders and as links with (Seniors - See Page 5)

different pieces of equipment for our children to enjoy,” Department of Public Works Director Al Yodakis told The Manchester Times. “We’re excited to provide this new playground for the community and hopefully more improvements to 6th Avenue Park in the near future.” The contract was awarded to a state contract licensed vendor, PlayPower LT. Farmington, Inc., through Boyce Associates. PlayPower is located in Huntersville, N.C., and Boyce Associates in Allentown, Penn. Yodakis said his department would install the equipment sometime in the fall.

need of help,” Palmer said. “I thought that Sixth Avenue Park was the one that really needed it the most, so we’re addressing that one fi rst this year. Thank you to the Council for the approval of the purchase of the playground equipment.” Palmer called this part of his Park Revitalization Plan, working with Council to upgrade or overhaul a park within the township each year. He has fond memories of Sixth Avenue Park, in the neighborhood he grew up in. He took to the township’s Facebook page to explain. “Growing up in Pine Lake Park, the Sixth Avenue Park was a mainstay for me and my friends. Whether it was basketball, baseball or football, we always seemed to be playing at the park. The park was within a short bike ride distance so when the street lights came on, I could get home in five minutes,” Palmer wrote. “Unfortunately, over the years, Sixth Avenue Park, like a

number of our parks in town, have been in decline for a myriad of reasons. One of my goals after being elected, was to develop a systematic plan to revitalize our parks.” The park upgrades will be paid for through the township’s Open Space Fund. The township’s open space and recreation plan element from 2003, part of the Master Plan, does state as one of the goals to “enhance the quality and variety of passive and active recreational opportunities for all age groups and abilities.” Each taxpayer pays one cent per $100 of their assessed value toward that Fund; this past year, that tax yielded $320,000. Although the town also receives grants, much of that money is going to pay for bonds used to purchase open space. Palmer has also asked that surveillance cameras be placed at the upgraded parks, and that police increase their patrols to those parks and playgrounds.

“I’m really excited about picking a park each year and trying to refurb it,” Palmer said August 8. “We’re talking about Summit Park next. That park sometimes gets forgotten. And then the year after that we’ll probably go out to Whiting and pick a park out there that needs it.” Manchester’s township parks are Tuskegee Airmen Park, POW-MIA Memorial Park, Pop Warner Football Complex, Pine Lake Park & Playground with Splashpad, Sixth Avenue Park, Grand Army Memorial Park, Manchester Township Soccer Complex, Bowker Field, Harry Wright Lake, and World War II Veterans Memorial Park. Pfizer and Wakefern Food Corporation recently gifted Manchester with a Senior Motion Wellness Center, a fancy say of saying playground for seniors. That will be located at Harry Wright Lake and be up and running late summer or early fall.

excessive speed, driving while under the influence, aggressive driving, improper turning, failing to yield, inattentive driving, disregarding of traffic signals, following too close and various commercial carrier violations such as overweight, equipment maintenance and brake pressure. Additionally as part of the enforcement efforts, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office personnel assigned to the detail will utilized unmarked police vehicles to report any aggressive and

erratic driving to operating marked units. The detail comes as the county has sought to upgrade safety infrastructure on the twolane road, which is prone to single-vehicle crashes as well as multi-vehicle crashes, often traced to vehicles moving into the opposite lane to pass slower drivers. Infrastructure improvements already completed include rumble strips in the centerline of the roadway, raised pavement markers to improve night time visibility, reflective

striping, a high-friction road resurfacing and LED signs that are motion-activated and alert drivers to sharp curves in the roadway. The detail was initiated last year after 11 fatal crashes occurred on the roadway within a year. That was in addition to numerous nonfatal accidents that were still deemed serious in nature. During last year’s effort, there were more than 600 motor vehicles stops conducted during the detail, and no fatalities reported.

our patrimony and sense of purpose as individuals and as a nation. Many older people are embarking on second careers, giving younger Americans a fine example of responsibility, resourcefulness, competence, and determination.” When she lived in Irvington, Leisure Village West resident Marie Lamberti and friends petitioned the state to recognize its own Senior Citizen Day, May 15 annually. “One of the ladies in our parish at the time felt that the senior citizens gave so many contributions of their life and thought we should have the day enacted, and I thought it’s a very hard thing to do, so she went out with her dream, and she and three other women got many, many petitions,” Lamberti said. “I had a start to go to the mayor in our town, who I was active with in the political process, and from there I saw our state senator and assemblymen and kept working on it.

The Manchester Times, August 20, 2016, Page 5 They helped get it through and I was quite happy about it.” According to the U.S. Census Bureau, President John F. Kennedy declared May 1963 as Senior Citizens Month. Every president since then has offered a proclamation, and in 1980 President Jimmy Carter changed its name to Older Americans Month. The Bureau’s latest statistics from 2014 say there are 46.2 million men and women age 65 and older in the United States. That number will reach 98.2 million by 2060. By 2033, senior citizens will outnumber those 18 years old and younger. In the meantime, Lamberti echoed Regan’s words about senior citizens. “They are to be commended for all the trials and tribulations they went through in their life. It seems that what they were going through must of their lifetime, there’s still a lot of strife for them today. What was their problems in the past still seem to be there in the present. They should be commended,” Lamberti said.

Featured Letter Respect Those In Uniform, And Each Other Have you had enough murders in this country? I take that to be a Yes! We’re all sick and tired of bad behavior wherever it may be found, people hating each other and now killing each other for no good reason at all except they want to. What is that anyway? Two men who were black were murdered by policemen in two different states. The reason is yet to be explained or understood by the public. Then, we had the massacre in Dallas committed by a black man who apparently hated white people especially those in a uniform. When I was being raised by my parents, I was taught

to respect my neighbors and especially those in uniform. Whatever happened to that kind of respect – one for another? Are we all doomed because we’ve done this to ourselves, and more importantly can we recover from our own doing? With an upcoming election, do we really believe that either candidate can solve this internal problem when, in fact, they themselves, may be a part of the problem. May God help us. And God please, though we don’t deserve it, please bless America. Bette Kooreman Whiting

Letters To The Editor Don’t Vote For Trump I have refrained from posting my contempt for Donald Trump, because who cares what I think anyway. However, for my own satisfaction I am going to express my disgust with his disrespect of Gold Star Parents Mr. and Mrs. Khan whose son, Captain Kahn, died in Iraq protecting our country in 2004. This is personal for me because as Mayor of Toms River in 2004 through 2007, on many occasions, I was called to our National Guard Armory and other events to send off our troops to war, many of whom I knew personally, e.g. my son’s football coach. I’ve seen firsthand the families saying goodbye to their Mom or Dad, not know if they were coming back. As mayor, the best I could do was be there for them on behalf of our community and show support, prayers and encouragement. I am offended by Trump’s latest callous disregard for our military, but to disparage the parents of a fallen soldier is over the line. While I was mayor, on two occasions I accompanied our Chief of Police to the home of a fallen Toms River Marine. I felt helpless, but they were so grateful that we cared. It was the least we could do. Our town has planted trees and dedicated memorials to these fallen soldiers, but it doesn’t bring them back. I can’t imagine the pain these families suffer every single day of their lives. Trump insinuated that Mrs. Khan didn’t speak because she probably wasn’t allowed to. What was he thinking when he made such a state-

ment? The problem is he can’t take a punch; he must fight back regardless of what was said. This is his worst character flaw – of many – and I can tell you from experience that if you are going into public office, you have to be able to take a punch and move on. His disrespect of Mr. and Mrs. Kahn is unforgivable and this one time that I will ask you to please do not cast a vote for him in November. Paul C. Brush Toms River

As for me, as to the existence of a “soul” I think a 19th century humanist put it best: “I neither assert nor deny. I simply admit I don’t know. On that subject I am without evidence. There may be spirits, but I have never met one, nor do I know anybody who has.” Borden Applegate Jackson

While attending a funeral recently, the reverend talked about the immortality of the soul, which got me thinking. What do we really know – not just think or believe or imagine, but actually know about a soul? I haven’t the slightest idea how a soul looks, what shape it is, whether it walks or flies. Where does it reside in the body? How tall is it? Does it eat or sleep, wear socks – does it have a pulse? Is the soul implanted or activated at conception or does it enter the body at birth? If the dead person used a cane, wore glasses or dentures, will his soul? The clergy tell us the soul cannot be seen, heard, touched, smelled or tasted. Nor does it have magnetic, electrical, gravitation, or any other measurable properties. I think it would trouble anybody to find a better definition of nothing! That describes a vacuum – that is to say, it describes the absence of everything. The fact that I cannot conceive of a thing does not necessarily prove that a thing does not exist; however, I cannot prove unicorns don’t exist either.

Consider the things that make New Jersey a magnet for businesses and employers: A highly educated workforce, easy access to the financial and technology centers in New York, an outstanding education system and desirable lifestyle - and outstanding transportation infrastructure. We have the largest statewide transit system in the country, able to connect people to jobs both in New Jersey and beyond. Our road network has made the business of moving freight a major contributor to our economic growth, and allows goods shipped to our ports to reach almost half the U.S. population within a day. Yes, economic development incentives and tax breaks are appealing to employers, and those incentives have become a part of any state’s economic-development strategy. But incentives most often make the difference when the playing field is otherwise level, and when all the necessary durable assets, including transportation infrastructure, are in place. And right now in New Jersey, investments in our transportation infrastructure are at real risk. All the incentives and tax breaks in the world cannot overcome the inability of a business to rely on a durable asset that is key to its success. Transportation infrastructure lasts a long time, and is an important economic signal. When the state makes a commitment to invest in its transportation network, it is in effect promising businesses and residents that the system will be there into the future to serve them. This commitment spurs additional investment raise a bridge so the nearby port can welcome larger

ships, and new warehouses spring up. Build a light-rail line and businesses build or expand locations near it. (In fact, these additional investments sometimes get made before the transportation projects themselves are finalized.) Make transit access and travel easier, and nearby property values go up. But right now New Jersey appears unwilling to keep its promise of sustained investment in its transportation network. Our failure to break the current impasse over funding the Transportation Trust Fund - a financial repository established expressly to ensure that our transportation infrastructure can be kept up to date - is beginning to send a clear signal to the business community that it will no longer be able to rely on a key piece of New Jersey’s economic infrastructure. Businesses that may be evaluating their relocation or expansion options right now must be looking askance at New Jersey. When employers make long-term expansion or relocation decisions, they give significant weight to the extent and condition of the nearby transportation network. Our inability to promise that they’ll be able to rely on our roads and rails is putting New Jersey’s continued economic growth at real risk. The suspension of many important road and transit projects will have immediate economic effects. But at a more strategic level, the impasse over funding the Transportation Trust Fund presents a very real threat to New Jersey’s long-term economic-growth. Every business that decides to look elsewhere because it can’t rely on New Jersey’s transportation network represents lost opportunity. And perhaps even more important, every day this impasse continues serves to erode the trust the business community has in the state as a desirable place to locate or do business. If Governor Christie is as business-friendly as he says he is, he will take immediate steps to end this stalemate. The negative effects of not doing so will hurt us for years into the future.

From The Desk Of The Governor - Governor Chris Christie

NEW JERSEY – Governor Chris Christie recently announced positive gains in the preliminary statewide Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) assessment results in mathematics and English language arts for the 2015 to 16 school year. Overall, a higher percentage of students met or exceeded expectations – indicating they are on pace to be college and career ready – in nearly all subjects and grade levels. These scores also represent an emerging trend across all socioeconomic groups of a shrinking percentage of students failing to meet expectations or partially meeting expectations. “We are encouraged by the positive gains made by our students on the PARCC assess-

ment,” said Governor Christie. “New Jersey’s educational system is one of the best in the nation, and we are committed to keep pushing for improvements that will continue student success. We pursued the higher-quality assessment because we knew our students were well-positioned to meet the challenge, and these results further validate that approach.” This is the second year that the PARCC assessment has been administered in New Jersey, and it is the earliest that results from a New Jersey statewide assessment have been released after the close of the testing window. PARCC asks students to demonstrate their understanding of the State’s academic standards and apply their knowledge and skills by utilizing critical thinking, analytical writing and problem solving. PARCC

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Clerk’s Office is offering an added layer of security when it comes to property protection. “The Ocean County Clerk’s Office Property Alert Service is a key step in protecting your property,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, who serves as director of law and public safety. “I want to commend our County Clerk Scott Colabella in implementing this new program, which provides a layer of protection against property and mortgage fraud.” The Property Alert Service is a free service that provides property owners with email alerts anytime that a document affecting a specific property is recorded by the Ocean County Clerk’s Office. “Scammers record fraudulent documents like fake deeds or record fake liens against property owners,” Colabella said. “In some instances, fraud on

real property is not discovered for years. “To address these concerns and protect one of the most important assets a person has, my office now offers this free service that immediately notifies residents by email whenever a document with their name is recorded in the County Clerk’s Office,” he said. Property owners can sign up for the free service by visiting oceancountyclerk.com and clicking on the “Property Alert” icon to access the Property Alert Service page. “It’s as simple as registering your name or business name and your email address and you will be automatically notified electronically if a document is recorded with your name,” Colabella said. Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines noted Colabella and the Ocean County Department of Information Technology collaborated on the project which resulted in

is designed to provide teachers and school administrators with usable information that can help improve classroom instruction. In addition to improved student results, more students participated in each of the PARCC tests than the year before, signaling that parents and educators understand the value of the assessments in providing information that can improve their schools and inform parents. “Thanks to the tremendous job done by school administrators and teachers, these results are exactly what we would expect,” said Education Commissioner David C. Hespe. “The Department will continue to collaborate with districts to support their efforts in using PARCC as one tool in preparing students for a successful future.”

Based on feedback from educators, a number of improvements were made in the second-year PARCC administration. Overall, the PARCC tests were 90 minutes shorter, there were fewer testing sessions and two testing windows were reduced to just one testing window. These modifications benefited students and teachers by reducing the amount of time spent on the statewide assessment. Similar to last year, PARCC data is expected to be released in different phases, but this year it will be released months earlier. Districts already received their own preliminary data in June, and were expected to receive final data and individual score reports in mid-August. Parents should be receiving their individual student score reports from their districts around the start

of the school year. It is also anticipated that PARCC tools for educators will start being available by September – almost six months earlier than last year. “Receiving the PARCC data and resources this early will allow school leaders to create an educational system that utilizes the PARCC data to improve their schools, such as aligning their curricula and using professional development opportunities for teachers,” said Education Commissioner Hespe. The department will be working with organizations, such as the New Jersey Principals and Supervisors Association, on professional development programs that will inform educators on how to use the PARCC results and tools to improve classroom instruction. This is in addition to the de-

County Clerk Implements Property Alert Service the launching of the Property Alert Service in Ocean County. “This is an important service that can be accessed by our homeowners and business owners,” said Haines, who serves as liaison to the Department of Information Technology. “Any tools that can help protect our residents from fraud and scammers are useful and benefit our property owners.” Thousands of documents are recorded annually at the County Clerk’s office. Of the 131,893 documents recorded in 2015, 24,492 were deeds and 22,778 were mortgages. “Based on the volume of deeds and mortgages recorded monthly, it’s not impossible for some items to be potentially fraudulent,” Colabella said. “This program will help property owners prevent potential scams from affecting them.” Kelly noted this program will also help seniors and their

caregivers in making certain there is no fraudulent activity taking place. “Ocean County is home to more than 160,000 senior citizens,” Kelly said. “This is yet another way the county can offer some protection against scammers.” Colabella noted that unfortunately identity theft is a grow-

ing consumer complaint and property fraud, which is a form of identity theft, is on the rise. “While this service can’t prevent fraud, it’s important to be notified early that someone may be trying to steal your property without your knowledge,” Colabella said. He added that the only time recordings can be refused is

partment’s numerous training and outreach programs aimed at educating teachers and administrators on how PARCC data can benefit student learning in ways that New Jersey’s previous assessments never could. Over the last year, numerous educators and researchers, including the National Network of State Teachers of the Year, have reviewed PARCC and have validated it as an assessment that is more grade-level appropriate than prior state tests. They have also concluded that PARCC is clearly an effective assessment in determining whether students have an understanding of the standards and are on the pathway to being college and career ready. For more infor mation about the new assessments, parents should visit state. nj.us/education/assessment.

when statutory guidelines are not met. “As long as a document meets statutory recording guidelines, New Jersey law requires the Clerk’s Office to record the document,” he said. “I am pleased we can offer this new program to help our constituents detect information that may be fraudulent.”

Led by School Resource Officer Christopher Cerullo, the youth cadets engaged in a variety of activities each day showing them different aspects of law enforcement. “This week, I saw a great group of cadets learn and demonstrate the principles of discipline, leadership, and dedication,” said Chief Lisa Parker. “I’m proud that they dedicated a week of their summer vacation to such a worthwhile program.” The youth cadets were taught the history of the Manchester Township Police Department, interacted with Ocean County Police Acad-

When Your Sense Of Balance Falters

Vertigo, dizziness and imbalance will affect 90 million Americans some time during their lifetime. Homosapiens is a Latin expression meaning “the wise human” or “the clever human,” an assigned name due in part to man’s ability to walk upright, an amazing act that we have been pulling off for thousands of years. That is because balance and equilibrium help us stay erect when standing, know where we are in relation to gravity and help us walk, run and move without falling. Despite this, many of us still lose our sense of balance and fall. In fact, dizziness and loss of balance is the second most common complaint heard in doctors’ offices and fear of falling is the number one complaint of individuals in their later years. Balance or one’s sense of equilibrium is a complex process controlled by vestibular organs contained in the inner ear. The functioning of the vestibular system depends on information from many systems including hearing, vision and muscle feedback. If you suffer from dizziness, vertigo or motion sickness, you could have an equilibrium disorder. Rapid head movements, turning too quickly or walking or riding can make the condition worse. A loss of sure footedness is another sign that your normal sense of balance is out of order. If those

descriptions fit you, do not panic. Diagnosis and treatment have become more effective over the last 10 years. For example, with proper diagnosis and therapeutic exercises (known as balance retraining), many older adults can return to a more active lifestyle. Garden State Hearing and Balance Center, an exclusive member of Audigy Group, is proud to partner with the American Institute of Balance (AIB), one of the country’s largest multi-specialty centers for the evaluation of dizziness and balance disorders. The group works closely with the AIB for the certification of professionals, development of clinical protocols and continuing education. Physicians, audiologists, therapists, clinics and hospitals use the institute’s evaluation protocols on therapy programs worldwide. Balance-related falls are responsible for nearly 50 percent of accidental deaths in the elderly and cause over 300,000 hip fractures a year for those over 65 years of age. If you or a loved one is suffering from dizziness, the first step is to differentially diagnose your condition by consulting with an audiologist or otolaryngologist. Specific testing may include audiological evaluation, tympanometry, VNG, Computerized Dynamic Posturography and Electocochleography. Garden State Hearing and Balance has been providing these services for over 20 years.

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.

Get Ready For Pretty In Pink/Handsome In Blue Day

OCEAN COUNTY – Although October is a few months away, planning has begun for this year’s Pretty in Pink Day which has been changed to Pretty in Pink/Handsome in Blue Day, which will be celebrated on October 19, recognizing both men and women who have had or are living with any type of cancer,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “This is the 14th year of Pretty in Pink and although we are still focusing on breast cancer, it is time for us to include and also focus on every type of cancer that affects both women and men. This day is a collaborative effort of the Ocean County Health Department, the Long Beach Island Health Department, the Ocean County Department of Human Services, the Ocean/ Monmouth Health Alliance, the Ocean County Advisory Commission on the Status of Women and the Ocean County Library,” he said. “By having all of these agencies partner together, we are being proactive in our efforts to promote good health and healthy habits for men and women,” said Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, who is liaison to the Ocean County Advisory

Commission on the Status of Women. “I am pleased to support these events and happy the Advisory Commission and all of our partners take such an active role in making certain our citizens have access to services and information that promote a healthier lifestyle.” Daniel Regenye, OCHD public health coordinator, said that this event grows year by year. He said every year we have participation from many of our schools, businesses and community organizations. Regenye said, “With the growth of Ocean County, we feel it is important to take this one day and focus on all of our residents who have been affected by any type of cancer. We like to feel that even if one person looks at our resources and makes an appointment for a necessary screening, we have made a difference….but we know that each year during Pretty in Pink, many women have picked up the phone and made an appointment for their mammography. Now we hope people will look at the other screenings available and take advantage.” Visit the Ocean County Health Department’s website at ochd.org.

Specialized Care for the Memory Impaired

The Drug That Causes Gambling By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

I was in Las Vegas recently and spent four nights there. I stayed at The Palazzo and checked out the hotels Paris, The Venetian, MGM Grand, Aria, Caesars Palace and probably two others that I walked by. With that many hotels, guess how much I spent on gambling? Five dollars. No kidding. It just doesn’t interest me. I look at big green trash cans and think, “Those were the original slot machines, before casinos figured out they could get more money out of us if they put fancy noises and lights on them.” All kidding aside, gambling is no joke, it’s a hobby for some and an illness for others. And interestingly, we know that some drugs can enhance that gambling state of mind. A few months ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned physicians about Abilify (aripiprazole) and how it could cause impulsive behavior. If you are one of my fans, you’ll know that I said this in 2006 when Abilify was released, and I also mentioned how it could cause rapid weight gain. Abilify is one of the world’s top prescribed drugs. It raked in $6.4 billion in 2013. It’s classified as an antipsychotic medication, but unfortunately physicians dispense it like it’s some kind of Tic Tac for every emotional and mental disorder a patient walks in with. The gambling problems have led to divorces. A quick google search will reveal anxious lawyers who want to represent patients because they feel like the drug companies knew and kept it hush hush. One patient reportedly played the slots occasionally but never lost more than 50 dollars, and then he started Abilify. “After I ploughed through my bank ac-

count, I obtained cash advances on my credit cards and soon maxed them out,” says the patient whose wife now wants a divorce. It’s not just gambling, people who take this drug may feel unnatural cravings to binge eat, have sex or go shopping. When people get these urges (and I mean in an unnatural, unhealthy way), it means that their dopamine level is off. It leads to fighting, infidelities, obesity, bankruptcy and divorce. Funny, I never noticed anything alarming in the TV commercials, everyone looked happy. In 2015, American doctors wrote 1.5 million prescriptions to treat not only schizophrenia, but also depression, bipolar disorder autism-induced mood problems. We don’t really need studies to prove what Abilify and other drugs do because those drugs work on dopamine. When dopamine is raised excessively, it messes with the chemicals in the brain. Three studies concluded that discontinuation of Abilify could help patients get control of the pathological gambling. These can be easily found in “The British Medical Journal” from 2011, “JAMA” from 2014 and “Addictive Behaviors” from 2014. If you feel like you’ve been shopping excessively, binging on food or anything or experiencing unhealthy urges while taking Abilify, I recommend you speak to your doctor to either reduce your dosage, wean off altogether or try something natural to address brain chemistry and get it healthy again. Healing dopamine receptors takes time and while this side effect is unusual, I want you to know it can happen, because the FDA decided they only needed to warn doctors.

A Healthy Start: Pregnancy & Vaccines

OCEAN COUNTY – “National Immunization Awareness Month is a reminder that we all need vaccines throughout our lives,” stated Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “This week focuses on vaccinations as an important component of a healthy pregnancy.” Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health

Department (OCHD) public health coordinator, said, “Vaccines during pregnancy not only protect you against certain diseases but can also help protect your baby during its first few months of life. The two vaccines that are routinely recommended by doctors during a pregnancy are Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough) and the flu shot.”

Regenye said, “Getting a flu shot is the best way to protect a pregnant woman from the flu and prevent serious flu-related problems, such as premature labor and delivery. Also, when you get the Tdap vaccine, during each pregnancy, you will pass some antibodies that will help protect your baby from pertussis. That is when babies are most vulnerable to the devastating complications associated

www.micromediapubs.com

with pertussis (whooping cough). We recommend anyone coming in contact with an infant be immunized against pertussis.

Inside The Law When Should I Change My Will?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

One of the most frequently asked questions in estate planning is “When should I change my Last Will and Testament?” There is no easy answer to this question. A Will does not get stale or need to be changed just because it is old. An old Will that still says what you want it to say may not need to be changed. So long as the persons named in the Will as benefi ciaries are those you want, and those persons named as executors, guardians and trustees are still capable of acting, the Will is still valid. So when should you change your Will? You should change your Will whenever the Will does not say what you want the Will to say. As an example, one of the persons you named as a beneficiary under the Will has passed away or is no longer deserving of your inheritance, or the distribution scheme in your Will is no longer what you may want. Or when a person named as an executor, trustee or guardian under the Will is no longer capable of acting as such. I recommend that you read your Will once a year to make sure that it says what you still want it to say. You should also read your Will whenever there is a major event in your life, such as a birth, death, marriage, divorce, change in fi nancial status or change in competency of any of the persons named in your Will. Does your Will still say what you want in light of that

major event? Another reason why I suggest you read your Will at Marc S. Galella Esq. least once a year is to make sure that you remember what your Will says. I have seen a number of instances where a person tell me what they think their Wills says, only to read the Will and see that it is different than what they thought it said. If you fi nd that your Will needs to be changed, what should you do? The fi rst thing I recommend is to see an attorney. In many cases, an attorney has drafted a Will to be flexible and to take into account that there may be changes in your life. Often the Will already anticipates the changes in your life and already has alternate provisions that address those events. In other cases, the Will needs to be changed and of course I always recommend that you retain an attorney to prepare a new Will for you. A Will is the most important legal document that most people will ever sign. Everyone should have a Will. But, as important as it is to have a Will, it is equally important that you have a Will that is up to date with what you want your Will to say. That is why I recommend that you review your Will to make sure it says what you want it to say. Read your Will today!

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

You Don’t Go Out Looking For A Job Dressed Like That? On A Weekday? Dear Joel I am very troubled by what I am witnessing with my 17 year old daughter. She has that horrible thing that enlarges the holes in her ears. She has green hair and a ring through her nostrils. I don’t particularly like her friends and feel that she is just heading for trouble. Answer I will say to you what I would say to any mother of a 17 year old. At the age of 17, a young woman is filled with uncertainty. Being that you are writing to me in 2016, it is probably triple the unsettled feeling that many teenagers experience 30, 40, 50 years ago. There is however no way to generalize and please keep in mind that she is an individual. I have no magic for you. If it were my daughter I’d be concerned too. I have, however, made this observation. Although I am somewhat concerned by what she is doing to herself, there is nothing in your description of her that is alarming. You don’t speak of drugs, stealing or anything else that many mothers are

currently dealing with. In as much as seeing this through, and the green hair may be difficult, if I am correct, I’d like for you to hold onto the following comforting words: Try and visualize her with no piercings and natural hair. My hunch is that she will turn out to be that way. What I tell many parents that write to me is to make certain that their children are fully occupied. What I mean by that is making certain that she is devoting a lot of hours to school and homework. Additionally, she isn’t too young to be working alongside her school work. At 17 she is at your mercy of continuing to live at home. That is a big card to hold over a 17 year old head. Remember that you have that power, it is healthy for both of you. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Juvenate Medical Wellness & Rejuvenation

“Sunita Mann, MD Treats the Patient First... Not the Disease”

Sunita Mann, MD - Functional Medicine Specialist Functional Medicine is a fundamentally new way of thinking about health and disease and puts the power of being healthy back in the patient’s hands, in a partnership with their doctor. Dr. Sunita Mann has a favorite quote that embodies her philosophy of medicine: As Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” As a doctor that practices a relatively new ﬁeld of medicine known as Functional Medicine, Dr. Mann places a heavy emphasis on eating healthy foods. This brand of medicine seeks to reveal the root cause of chronic health issues by looking at the patient’s entire body and their environment. “The key to this approach is to look beyond a group of symptoms and instead, treat the underlying cause of the condition. Many chronic diseases like Diabetes, Neurological disorders, Menopause and other hor monal imbalanc es c ause signiﬁ cant problems for people and prevents them from living a healthy life. It can also result in a dependence on prescription drugs,” she says. However, there

is much more to healing than drugs. Functional Medicine is a fundamentally new way of thinking about health and disease. Conventional Medicine (which is what she was taught in Medical School) treats the signs and symptoms of disease, often individually. She adds, “We were taught to look at the body as systems rather than the whole being, in which so many health issues are interconnected.” How did you become involved in this area of medicine? Dr. Mann: I’ve found that many functional medicine doctors become involved in the ﬁeld through their own health journey. The same is true for me. My Conventional Medicine training was in Diagnostic Radiology and Neuroradiology which gave me a great background in diagnosing medical problems. I practiced Radiology for 13 years until 2013 when I developed a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction to the contrast

dye I routinely used in my radiology procedures. As a result of the reaction, I was unable to walk more than 50 feet without feeling shortness of breath, had difficulty climbing steps, and was not able to drive. After many months of recovery, during which I realized I could not continue to practice in my chosen field of medicine, I knew it was time to take care of my health. That journey led me to uncover a whole new world of medicine, which combines the medical principles that are thousands of years old with the cutting edge technology of modern laboratory diagnosis. Because of my background, I needed to see the evidence of what was going on in my own body and from there, discover that health is a continuum: from optimal health, through problems such as weight gain, to high cholesterol, to high blood pressure and high blood sugar, to fatigue, all the way to disease. As I began a journey towards wellness, I realized that my newfound knowledge could help others dealing with illness. I then began my formal certification in Functional Medicine so I could offer these techniques to my patients. What is the main difference between Conventional medical care and Functional medicine? Dr. Mann: Conventional medicine is great at treating acute problems, such as pneumonia, heart attack, infections, and trauma. In fact, without this type of medicine I would not be alive today. After such a severe anaphylactic reaction, the only reason I am here is because of the amazing medical personnel who reacted so quickly to save my life. However, once a person is out of immediate health danger, conventional doctors are not trained to keep people in optimal health. A conventional doctor may counsel patients on eating a healthy diet and getting exercise but they lack the time and tools to help the patient with their specific health concerns. Functional medicine is Personalized Medicine and allows the doctor and patient to work together to look at the specific genetics, environment, laboratory findings and risk factors to formulate a specific plan to achieve the goal of optimal health. What are the benefits of this type of medicine? Dr. Mann: Personalized Functional Medicine treats the whole person rather than parts of the person. By looking at a combination of genetic predispositions, family history, and lifestyle factors (such as nutritional status, exer-

cise, and stress levels) we use targeted diagnostic tests to see what is going on inside the body. I can then provide an individualized plan to get a patient to optimal health. The goal is to locate and reverse physiological imbalances that may have been present for years before a person manifests disease, and in someone who already has a disease, to use those same tools to reverse the process. What is the most rewarding part about your profession? Dr. Mann:I love to help people who have been to many different conventional doctors looking for help, often bewildered by how they got to this point and then ﬁnally come to the realization that they can achieve optimal health. What is the most challenging? Dr. Mann: The ﬁeld requires a real commitment from the patient to become my partner in getting healthy. There are those who hope for a “magic pill” to solve their chronic health problems and the simple truth is, there is no

hormone status, and the health of the gut. All of these factors can be tested for and if a person is found to have problems in any of these areas, they can be treated with a highly personalized plan to reverse these changes. Do you treat a lot of women with hormonal issues? Dr. Mann: Yes I see many patients with hormonal concerns who are afraid to take hormones because they’ve heard that it can increase the risk of cancers and other problems. I like to educate my patients about Bio-identical Hormones, which are very different from the commonly prescribed hormones, derived from horse urine that many women have used in the past. Bio identical hormones are a natural replacement for the hormones we all lose as we age and in fact, are crucial for good health. You could say that Dr. Mann practices what she preaches. After a long day at the ofﬁce she draws on the relaxation techniques she

such thing. Like anything worth having in life, optimal health takes commitment and true desire to change the habits that lead the patient down the path to illness. Another challenge is the cost of some of the testing. Unfortunately, many of the tests that assist in functional medicine diagnosis are not covered by insurance. The patient and I have to make a decision about which testing is the most critical to start with. I try to work within their cost constraints but as I explain to patients who have already seen so many other doctors, sometimes paying for the testing themselves makes all the difference in getting healthy. What are the most common issues you see in your profession? Dr. Mann: What I treat mirrors the common health concerns present in America today. Obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer – these are the main drivers of the common killers. Conventional medicine waits until the onset of these conditions to start treatment. Functional medicine uses testing to find the earliest signs that a patient is at risk for a specific disease. I look at the body’s response to certain foods or the presence of food sensitivities, level of inflammation in the body, the

has learned over her years of being in the field. She adds, “One of the most powerful tools available to all of us is the practice of breathing techniques to actually change our physiology.” She uses yoga-breathing exercises in the morning to get ready for the day and ends her day with meditation to help her unwind. By practicing these techniques regularly she is able to reduce stress and directly reduce inflammation in her body, which she believes is the main cause of chronic disease. Dr. Mann grew up in Edison and after obtaining her undergraduate degree in Biology at Rutgers University; she went on to Medical School at UMDNJ-Rutgers. After an internship in Internal Medicine, she obtained a degree in Radiology from UMDNJ- University Hospital and then received advanced fellowship training in Neuroradiology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. She and her husband, who is also a physician have three children and reside in Marlboro. Her office is located at 100 State Route 36, Suite 2G, West Long Branch.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of aUGUST 20-aUGUST 26

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your energies may scatter like dandelion seeds in the wind. You may be enthused by risky adventures or preoccupied with new friends. Other people may be confused by your unpredictable actions in the week ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Enjoy free samples. People from exotic locations might share ideas or gifts. Co-workers might prefer a break from routines or a close companion could be unpredictable. You might find a new job early in the week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you are not thinking for yourself, then someone else is thinking for you. In the week to come refuse to let peer pressure affect your judgment. You could focus on family situations and well thought out plans for the future. CANCER (June 21-July 22): People may judge you by the way you handle and treat your possessions. You might even find it is time to replace the old with the new. In the week ahead pay attention to the advice and ideas of family members. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You will find the ways and means without a committee in the week ahead. Thinking outside the box could be your ticket to fame and fortune. You or something you do could receive a plethora of publicity or personal recognition. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There is more to you than meets the eye. Your thinking processes are fueled by a wide range of subjects and educational experiences. Avoid arguments and aggravations by focusing on the positive in the

week to come. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Be an original without fostering rebellion. Change and your reaction to change are what counts in the upcoming week. If you only react to what others say or think you won’t have the time to exercise your own free will. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you act on impulse make it worth your time. Get in touch with what is most popular on social media or find out what is in the gossip columns. Being in sync with the news will enhance your creativity this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Experience is a tough teacher because it gives you a lesson after you have already taken the test. Concentrate on engaging in a wide range of unique activities and enjoy some unusual experiences as this week unfolds. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Family feuds will be far and few between in the week ahead. Whenever you are free to pick and choose be sure to let original ideas have their head. A fascinating person could enter your life and rock your world. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aspire to achieving a higher purpose. Re-evaluate your priorities and enjoy greater popularity. Small financial sacrifices may be made to avoid disputes. Focus on the building your social and business connections this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may feel like a dart board in the week ahead. Someone’s pointed remarks may hit their target. Avoid unpleasant cross currents by being polite even if you sense belligerence lurking beneath a calm exterior.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen ‘What’s In A Name?’ Whatever You Call It, This Dish Satisfies By Wolfgang Puck

Shakespeare penned the famous question that Ms. Capulet poses in “Romeo and Juliet.” And that question often applies to food as much as it does to romance. Just like other lovers of good cooking, I’ve found in my travels across America and around the world that very similar dishes can go by very different names in different places. Take the Denver omelet. Or is it the Western omelet? Depending on where you order it, the name may vary. The constants will almost always be some sort of ham, chopped onion and green bell pepper. And it seems that the closer a Western omelet gets to Colorado’s Mile High City, cheese seems to be added and the name changes to Denver omelet. But that’s not always true, and you’ll sometimes find fierce arguments between food lovers over what to put into it or call it. Paraphrasing the Bard, I would simply suggest that whichever name we use, it will taste just as delicious. The same goes with terms used for omelets themselves. Some people still like to use the French spelling, omelette. Cross the border from France to Spain, and cook the omelet flat like a thin pancake instead of folded. And it’s called a tortilla, the same term used in Mexico for their thin, round f latbreads made with flour or corn. Across the Ligurian Sea in Italy, a similar egg dish becomes a frittata. I certainly believe in respecting culinary traditions. Even more, however, I respect ingredients, always trying to select the best, freshest, seasonal, local, organic ones, cooking them in ways that respect their integrity. And as a chef who loves to be creative, I also enjoy coming up with fresh variations on classics. That’s how I came up with the smoked salmon pizza, still an in-demand favorite at Spago and my other restaurants. In a similar spirit, I would like to offer a new creation that I’ll call a Western or Denver frittata. It includes the onion and bell pepper you’d expect. But I use red instead of green pepper, replace the usual ham with pieces of bacon, add a little chopped chile pepper, plus pieces of scallion and cherry tomato, and include Parmesan instead of the Denver version’s customary cheddar or American cheese. As my own changes might suggest, you should feel free to swap out or add your own favorite ingredients. Finally, I cook the omelet flat, in the style of a frittata or tortilla, starting it

on the stovetop and finishing it under the broiler. The result makes a great main dish for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. And I’m sure that, whatever name you might choose to call it by, it’s a versatile dish you are sure to fall in love with. WESTERN OR DENVER FRITTATA Serves 2 to 4 2 thick slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch (6-mm) pieces 1/4 yellow onion, coarsely chopped 1/4 large red bell pepper, diced 1/4 poblano chile, diced 2 medium red potatoes, cooked and sliced, slices cut crosswise in half Freshly ground black pepper Kosher salt 5 large cage-free eggs 4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed 2 scallions, cut diagonally into thin slices 4 cherry tomatoes, quartered Fresh basil leaves, for garnish Preheat the broiler. Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick ovenproof skillet over high heat, saute the bacon until it starts to brown. Pour off excess fat. Add the onion, bell pepper and poblano, and saute until they start to soften slightly; then, add the potato. Continue cooking until the edges of the vegetables are golden brown. Season with pepper and a little salt. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the eggs, Parmesan, cream, and salt and pepper to taste. With a fork, beat until well blended. Drizzle the 1 tablespoon of olive oil around the bacon and vegetables. Pour in the eggs. Over medium heat, stir the eggs briskly with the back of a fork until they begin to set but are still very moist. Scatter the tomatoes and scallions evenly over the top. Place the pan under the preheated broiler. Cook another 1 to 3 minutes, until the eggs are set on top to your liking. Return the pan to medium heat, drizzle the edge and top of the frittata with a little more oil, and continue cooking until the bottom is fully set and golden brown. With the help of a spatula, if necessary, slide the omelet from the pan onto a large serving plate. Garnish with fresh basil leaves. To serve, cut in half or into wedges.
