Funding Drive To Save Manchester’s Oldest Building: Old Schoolhouse Now Church Site –Photos by Jennifer Peacock Whiting Bible Church through its many incarnations has served the community’s spiritual needs since the mid-1860s.

Ruth Whitfield, with her husband Don, compiled the history of Whiting Bible Church. Whitfield, a resident of Whiting for decades, started attending Whiting Bible Church as a child during her summers here, and eventually becoming Sunday School superintendent for 30 years.

By Jennifer Peacock WHITING – She closed her eyes and motioned her hands, pointing to this general store and post office and that hotel and the little brick church down the road. Her eyes opened. They’re just memories now, those buildings that populated a little corner named after Nathan C. Whiting.

Ruth Whitfield talked about another build-

ing, one where she attended Sunday School during her summer stays and later, when she and her husband moved to Keswick Grove, now known as Whiting, and was Sunday School Superintendent for about 30 years.

The Old Franklin School House was built in 1871 and still stands, today as part of Whiting Bible Church on Lacey Road.

It’s likely the oldest standing building in Manchester. And it needs the community’s help to stay standing.

The building is safe to occupy, Whiting Bible Church pastor David Rittinger said.

It was 89 degrees inside the building with only floor fans to circulate air the day Rittinger and Whitfield spoke to The Manchester Times. T he building was used (Schoolhouse - See Page 5)

Coyote Sightings Frequent, But Not Uncommon This Summer

By Courtney McCann OCEAN COUNTY – For fans of Looney Tunes, the coyote is an animal that calls the desert home and spends its time chasing extremely large and fast birds.

But as local residents are quickly becoming aware, coyotes are actually very common in New Jersey. This summer several Ocean and Monmouth County towns have reported coyote sightings, leading many to wonder if there has been a surge in the state’s coyote population.

In July a Manchester Township man received stitches after being bitten by an aggressive animal police believed may have been a coyote. The following month, Wall Township police sent an alert to residents confirming coyote sightings in the areas of Orchard Crest Boulevard and Paynters Road.

Last year, Berkeley Township and South Toms River issued alerts after residents encountered aggressive coyotes around South Toms River elementary school and in Holiday City neighborhoods.

These incidents have led other towns to issue alerts to residents and advise

them what to do in the event of a coyote sighting in their area.

But while the growing number of reports may seem unusual, Larry Hajna, spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) said it’s actually quite common to hear about coyote sightings in the Garden State.

“Coyotes are part of our landscape here in New Jersey,” Hajna said. “They’re found in virtually every type of environment we have in the state, including suburban and urban areas.”

As far as the number of sightings being reported this summer, Hajna said that while the DEP has not seen a significant surge in the coyote population, the number of coyotes has steadily increased from year to year, as they do not have natural predators in the area. And while they can be hunted, there is not a lot of interest in coyotes from the hunting community.

Coyotes also tend to travel in groups that move from one community another, Hajna said, which would explain why a number of coyotes seem to be popping up in the same region at once.

“And there’s also more awareness on the parts of the community and local

law enforcement,” said Hajna. “So more towns are reporting sightings and putting out information to residents.”

There is some benefit to having coyotes in the area, as they help to keep the rodent population under control by hunting and eating mice, rabbits and other small animals. But they can also present danger, in some rare cases attacking domestic pets or even small children.

According to Wall Township Police Public Information Officer Lieutenant Greg Carpino, the township has not had any more sightings since August. But police are continuing to raise the level of awareness about coyotes in their community.

“We are very proactive with public information, particularly information that pertains to the safety of our community,” Carpino said.

The DEP recommends that residents follow these guidelines to avoid confl icts with coyotes: Never feed a coyote. Deliberately feeding coyotes puts pets and other residents in the neighborhood at risk.

Feeding pet cats and/or feral (wild) cats outdoors can attract coyotes. The coyotes feed on the pet food and also prey upon

the cats.

Put garbage in tightly closed containers that cannot be tipped over.

Remove sources of water, especially in dry climates.

Bring pets in at night.

Put away bird feeders at night to avoid attracting rodents and other coyote prey.

Provide secure enclosures for rabbits, poultry, and other farm animals.

Pick up fallen fruit and cover compost piles.

Although extremely rare, coyotes have been known to attack humans. Parents should monitor their children, even in familiar surroundings, such as backyards.

Install motion-sensitive lighting around the house.

Clear brush and dense weeds from around dwellings - this reduces protective cover for coyotes and makes the area less attractive to rodents and rabbits.

Coyotes, as well as other predators, are attracted to areas where rodents are concentrated like woodpiles.

If coyotes are present, make sure they know they’re not welcome. Make loud noises, blast a canned air siren, throw rocks, or spray them with a garden hose.

Today, it’s primarily used for the church’s Sunday School and Youth ministries. The heat aside, the foundation has bowed, and along with some other minor projects, will cost about $100,000 to fi x.

The church is asking the community for donations.

A longtime resident, who is also a member of the church, suggested they reach out to the community to seek funds.

“With all the changes that have happened in the tow n, there are very few old pieces left,” Rittinger said. “So the idea came about from this gentleman, ‘How great that you, instead of tearing it down,

Whitfield, with her husband Don, researched Whiting and collected some history on the area.

According to their research, the school was bui lt in 1871; a sec ond room was added in 1909. During the Great Depression, a lunchroom was added to the rear of the building.

The church bought the building from the Manchester Board of Education in 1960 and ha s been used as a Sunday School building since.

Editorial Local Summer

Yes, during the summer, the beaches are crowded, boardwalks noisy, roads are congested and nightlife is wild. But the Jersey Shore has so much more to offer, and that’s especially true of that time of year referred to as Locals’ Summer, the weeks after Labor Day. The crowds may have thinned but the weather is just as nice. The waves are rolling and the sun is shining, although the pumpkin spice is back at the coffee shop – it’s a unique time of year at the Jersey Shore, and one that is ripe for enjoyment.

Whether a giant slice or a creamsicle twist, the classic summer choices can still be found (and often year-round) on the boardwalks, which this time of year are hosting a variety of free festivals celebrating the season: the Beach Plum Festival at Island Beach State Park, Seafood Fest in Point Pleasant Beach, down to the Columbus Day Festival in Seaside Heights come October.

The beach and the boards aren’t the only areas to enjoy: this is home to many parks and recreation areas offering a wide variety of

activities for the family.

Nature hikes, lighthouses, playgrounds, open spaces, camping, to name a few.

And don’t forget about the natural gem that is the Barnegat Bay and the countless opportunities for fun that it provides. Go seining, boating, fishing or crabbing, or of course, swimming. The possibilities are endless when it comes to recreation here.

If you travel to the western side of the county, you can see why New Jersey is known as The Garden State. Acres upon acres of farmland abound, growing everything from corn to tomatoes to strawberries and blueberries. So take the family for a drive to a U-pick farm and pick up some Jersey Fresh produce for supper. You will be supporting local farmers plus the kids will have a blast.

While the tourism economy is grateful to the visitors who make their way to the Jersey Shore each summer, there is so much more available to experience at the Jersey Shore than meets the visitor’s eye. Enjoy Local Summer now before the sun sets on this wonderful time of year.

Letters To The Editor Thank You For Your Service It is with a heavy heart that I would like to reflect on the tragic loss of the five brave police officers of the Dallas Police Department that went to work in the mor ning, knowing they were going to be in harm’s way when protecting protesters’ rights to assemble and their free speech under the First Amendment.

The officers would not have known they would not be coming home to their wives and children when they were assassinated by a ruthless gunman who acted with the intention of killing white police officers.

These officers had no chance against the type of assault weapon and armor-piercing rounds the gunman used; the ammunition went through their bulletproof vests. I think that these types of weapons should be banned for the protection of all people.

However, I do respect the Second Amendment under the Constit ution of the United States that gives citizens the right to bear arms.

After watching the graphic images of the shootings in Baton Rouge and St. Paul, I could see why people were outraged and I feel that all lives matter regardless if you are white, black, Hispanic, Asian or any other ethnic group.

We need a kinder and gentler world where people can have the expectation of going to work and not be in harm’s way. We are

all God’s children, and we need peace on earth and good will to all men and women.

In less than one month, three more officers lost their lives in Baton Rouge.

What Is An Aquifer Sometimes in the summer the heat index is in the triple digits. It is also the time when grass goes dormant.

However, there are so many people on the East Coast who defy this natural consequence of summer and water their yards every day, sometimes for a complete hour. The justif ication is that this is free water coming from a personal well and so they have the right to do this.

Meanwhile, in so many parts of the United States water is not free. In fact, it is almost nonexistent due to years of severe drought.

“So what?” some people say. “That doesn’t concern us.”

However, it wasn’t too long ago that part of New Jersey also suffered from a d rought and it could happen again.

Additionally, there are places in New Jersey that have dried up wells and some even have salt water in them.

Therefore, having a personal well does not guarantee it will always have

Back To School Food With the new school year starting, parents’ to-do lists are now filled with shopping for school clothes, school supplies and school food.

That’s right – school food!

In past years, our nation’s schools were used by the USDA as a dumping ground for surplus meat and dairy commodities. It is neither a surprise nor coincidence that one-third of our children have become overweight or obese. Such dietary mistakes at an early age become lifelong addictions, raising their risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

Then came President Obama’s Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 requiring double the servings of fruits and vegetables, more whole grains, less sodium and fat, and no meat for breakfast. The guidelines are supported by 86 percent of Americans.

Most U.S. school districts now offer vegetarian options. More than 120 schools including the entire school districts of Balti-

more, Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Oakland, Philadelphia and San Diego have implemented Meatless Monday. Some schools have dropped meat from their menu altogether.

As parents, we need to involve our own children and school cafeteria managers in promoting healthy, plant-based foods in our own schools.

Going online and searching for “vegetarian options in schools” provides lots of good resources.

Epipen Prices As a pharmacist for 58 years I have seen what has happened to drug prices since the begin ning of insu rance coverage for prescriptions. The price of Epipen has gone from hardly nothing when introduced to $615 for two pens.

Why? Because insurance will pay.

Because the public could not afford the about-$100 copays, they give you a coupon for the copay.

T he y k now for s u r e that if insurance did not pay they would be out of business.

This is happening with hundreds of medications.

The public couldn’t care less as long as someone else is paying: employers and higher premiums.

From The Desk Of The Mayor MANCHESTER – Manchester Township employees

–Photo Courtesy of Manchester Township Mayor Kenneth Palmer presents township employee Marisa Wilkins with a check for $125 to benefit Gastroparesis Patient Association for Cures and Treatments, Inc, a nonprofit organization that helps to educate patients and physicians about the disorder.

MANCHESTER — In recent weeks, the Manchester Township Police Department has received three reports of individuals who sent thousands of dollars in iTunes gift cards to callers claiming to have their grandchildren in police custody. By utilizing what’s known as the “Grandparent Scam,” the caller will tell the victim that their grandchild has been arrested, usually in another state, and they need help posting bail.

In the three recent cases reported in Manchester Township, the victims were told they could pay bail with iTunes gift cards, which is false. The victims purchased

- By Manchester Mayor Kenneth T. Palmer sis, a disorder paralyzing the stomach. This leads to food traveling slowly or not at all to the small intestines, the area where nutrients are absorbed into the body.

Mayor Kenneth Palmer issued a Proclamation recognizing August as Gastroparesis Month in Manchester Township, and thanked those who joined in the month-long educational and fundraising effort initiated by employee Marisa Wilkins, who is living with this disorder.

Also present were Council President James A. Vaccaro and Business Administrator Donna Markulic, among others. The awareness campaign raised $125 to benefit Gastroparesis Patient Association for Cures and Treatments, Inc, a nonprofit organization

that helps to educate patients and physicians about the disorder.

Gastroparesis can manifest suddenly and without any warning signs, as it did for our employee just two years ago. Currently, there is no cure, though some treatments can temporarily alleviate symptoms. Those living with Gastroparesis have difficulty drinking water, feel nauseated daily, experience terrible pain, and must ingest most foods and medications in liquid form. Unfortunately, this disorder can quickly take a toll on those affected.

Wilkins said: “On behalf of the Gastroparesis community and all who suffer with this condition, thank you Mayor Palmer for proclaiming August as Gastroparesis month

Residents Warned Of Grandparent Scam

the cards locally and relayed the iTunes card numbers over the phone. In an attempt to make their scam appear more legitimate, these callers knew personal information, including the names of the grandchild and other family members. This information could have been gathered through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

They may also let a grandparent speak to someone pretending to be their grandchild who pleads for help.

Other versions of the “Grandparent Scam” exist, such as calls claiming a grandchild needs money in an emergency situation, such as for travel or to fix a broken down car.

A scammer may also pose as an attorney representing a grandchild. In most cases, they will ask for gift cards or for a wire transfer of funds.

They will create a sense of urgency and may state that the situation must remain secret and not to involve other family members.

Never send money, gift cards, or provide any personal information without first verifying that your relative truly is in need of assistance.

Hang up, speak with other family and friends about the situation, and call the relative on a phone number you know to be theirs. If the caller claims to be a law enforcement officer, attorney, or

court personnel, confirm their office phone number through a trusted directory and call them back in order to verify the caller’s affiliation with said agency.

The New Jersey Office of the Attorney General offers the following additional information said that scammers typically ask the victim to send funds via a money order or other transfer service. Once money has been transferred and picked up by a recipient with a phony ID, it may be impossible to trace and retrieve.

Scammers often use marketing lists, with names and phone numbers or email addresses, to target victims.

Some scammers hack into

consumers’ email accounts, then send emergency emails to the consumers’ friends.

Scammers who call on the phone will typically try to prevent the victim from checking whether their story is true. They will insist, “Don’t tell mom,” or, “You must act immediately.”

If you receive an emergency call asking for money, always check with a family member to find out whether your loved one really needs help.

Take the time now to talk with your family about this and similar scams. Consider creating a code word or phrase–one only the family would know–in case it becomes necessary to make an

Mayor Kenneth T. Palmer in Manchester Township.

Without the support and recognition of elected officials like you, the Gastroparesis community’s daily battle with pain, nausea, and starvation would go unnoticed.

With this, we will continually strive to make aware the community and physicians of this condition and its detrimental outcome. Thank you again for joining us in this case.”

emergency call for help.

Make it a personal policy, and a family policy, never to wire money without being sure the story you’re being told is true.

There is no need for Manchester Township residents to notify the Manchester Police Department about having received a phone call from a suspected scammer unless the resident provided them with their personal information (Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Bank account info, etc.) and money.

In these cases, a police report may be helpful in repairing an individual’s credit, and or obtaining a new Social Security Number.

OMMUNITY NEWS Club News, Activities, Events & Announcements Fund Drive In Progress

WHITING – The Whiting Volunteer Fire Company No. 1 has started mailing annual fund drive letters to residents in its response area. This annual fundraiser is essential for our ability to remain 100 percent volunteer.

The fire company has been proudly serving Whiting and surrounding communities since 1937. The Whiting Volunteer Fire Company is an independent organization; therefore, it does not benefit from donations to the first aid squad, police department, or the other fire departments in Manchester.

Members spend countless hours responding to a variety of emergencies including but not limited to: structure fires, brush fires, motor vehicle accidents, searches, water/ ice rescues, landing zones. Members are on call 24/7, 365 days a year. In addition to responding to calls, members routinely

participate in training in order to hone and obtain skills.

The annual fund drive allows the company to continue operating. Without the generosity of residents, it would be impossible to operate.

Donations go toward equipment, training, apparatus maintenance/repairs, building maintenance, insurance and utility bills.

This fund drive letter is the only time the fire company specifically asks for a donation; therefore, do not believe what telemarketers may tell you in the future.

Donations can be sent to PO Box 93 Whiting, N.J., 08759.

Donations can also be dropped off at the firehouse, 120 Lacey Rd.. If dropping off a donation please place the envelope in the labeled mail slot on the Cherry Street side of the building.

investigating ghost activity, is very busy all year long. For 60 years they have been assisting individuals who are frightened or curious about a possible haunting in NJ, Delaware, Eastern Pennsylvania and New York City without charging for their services.

Dizziness is the third most common complaint to doctors, exceeded only by headaches and lower back pain.

The National Institute of Health and Johns Hopkins’s statistics indicate that dizziness is the number one complaint of patients over age 70. More importantly, dizziness and vertigo can affect people throughout a lifetime and this is clearly represented by the fact that dizziness is the third most commonly reported complaint to physicians.

Dizzy patients often report that they have made several visits to physicians and were told that nothing could be done or that they would simply have to learn to live with their dizziness complaint. If you are experiencing a sensation of vertigo or spinning or unsteadiness when you are walking, I suggest you do the following: Schedule an appointment with an audiologist to have your hearing thor-

oughly evaluated since your hearing and balance mechanisms are closely related.

Specialized testing should be performed to evaluate your inner ear mechanism. Tests may include ENG, electrocochleography and/or computerized dynamic posturography evaluation.

Specialized diagnostic testing can often pinpoint abnormalities in your vestibular system (inner ear), visual system and/or proprioceptive system (muscular skeletal). Quite often, vestibular rehabilitation or balance retraining therapy can either eliminate and/or significantly improve the complaint of dizziness and/or balance dysfunction.

If you or if you know of someone who is suffering from dizziness and/ or balance dysfunction, I suggest that you make an appointment for a thorough diagnostic evaluation.

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.

Antibiotics Can Cause Diabetes, Stomach Problems And Asthma

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

I saw the ugly effects of long-term antibiotics up close when we treated Sam’s bizarre symptoms that we thought were related Lyme disease, which come from tick bites. Lots of you are taking antibiotics now as well, and I want you to know that there’s so much more harm from these drugs than we ever thought possible.

Everyone is aware of the assault that your stomach takes from antibiotics. You might think cramps and diarrhea are bad enough, but at least those are transient problems.

Brand new animal research suggests these drugs trigger Type 1 diabetes, especially when toddlers take them. Keep in mind that back in 2015, a Denmark study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism correlated the use of antibiotics to type 2 diabetes in adults. From all of this, and other research, I think it’s safe to conclude that antibiotic usage increases risk for type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Antibiotics are doled out way too easily, and some of them can destroy your nerve fibers forever! If you’re a mom or dad, you don’t need me to tell you that some doctors are pretty quick to prescribe antibiotics for your kids who present with skin rashes, ear aches, sore throats or coughs. But between you and me (and about a million people reading my article today), they are just guessing! They don’t know for sure if the bug is a virus or bacteria!

The antibiotics won’t work if your infection is viral, yet the prescription is handed out almost immediately. I think pediatricians and

Lyme practitioners should rethink prescribing antibiotics in everyone who walks in the door, or at least consider shorter terms of usage.

I saw the overprescribing first-hand when my kids were young, that was 20 plus years ago. Then I saw it again with Sam when he was treated for Lyme. In the United States, statistics show that approximately half of all antibiotic prescriptions written have no therapeutic basis. I personally think this is a gross underestimate.

To hear that their use can trigger a life-long metabolic disorder that requires insulin shots is infuriating. Think of the economic impact on families, and the terrible loss of quality of life. Needle sticks… dietary restrictions, doctor visits forever more. Sadly, reducing diabetic complications becomes the goal, because a cure is difficult (although possible in some cases).

Antibiotics wipe out probiotics, and when your microbiome is lacking friendly bacteria, the hateful ones take over. Then your immune system is compromised. Changes in enzyme production and gene expression occur. This is what ultimately leads to the metabolic disaster, making you way more susceptible to diabetes and all the serious complications like heart disease, amputation, more infections and blindness.

I know some of you take them every day. I just want you to be empowered and make an informed decision with your own physician about antibiotics. Heavy usage may increase your risk of diabetes, allergies, asthma, colitis, Crohn’s and heart disease.

SUPERIOR

Inside The Law Estate Planning For Blended Families

Robert C. Shea Esq.

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

Some of the hardest Wills to draft are those for persons with “blended families.”

A blended family is a family where one or both spouses each have children from a prior marriage.

In a Will for a traditional family (one where the children are children of both spouses) most Wills will leave all assets to the surviving spouse and upon the death of the surviving spouse to their common children. However, using the same distribution scheme for a blended family may not always work. The issue arises when one of the spouses passes away and leaves all of their assets to the surviving spouse. What happens if the surviving spouse then changes their will to exclude the children of the predeceased spouse?

For example, Harry Husband, who has three children from a prior marriage, marries Wilma Wife, who has two children from a prior marriage. Harry and Wilma have Wills prepared which leave all of their assets to each other and then to the children in equal shares. Harry dies and all of his assets pass to Wilma. Wilma then decides to change her Will to leave all of the combined assets to her two children thus cutting out Harry’s three children from their father’s inheritance.

Upon Wilma’s death Harry’s children will not be happy to learn that they are inheriting nothing from their father.

What could Harry have done in such circumstances to have prevented this? First, Harry could have left some portion of his assets directly to his children upon his death. For example, he could have stated in his Will that 50 percent of his assets go directly to his children and the remaining 50

percent be left to Wilma.

In this way, his children would have inherited Marc S. Galella Esq. their share at the time Harry dies guaranteeing their inheritance. The problem with this method is that Wilma may not be able to continue to live receiving only 50 percent of Harry’s assets.

Another alternative would be that Harry could have left his assets in a trust created in his Will for Wilma’s support during her life and upon her death the remaining balance, if any, to Harry’s children. In this way, Harry could have provided for his wife during her life and his children would inherit any monies left over after Wilma dies. The drawback to this method is that it requires that a trust be established in the Will that creates a more complicated Will and administration after Harry dies.

Finally, Harry and Wilma could have prepared what is referred to as “mutual” or “contract” Wills. These are Wills that, once made, cannot be changed without the written consent of both parties. Thus, once Harry died, Wilma could not change her Will to disinherit Harry’s children, because Harry did not consent to that change. Even this method is not perfect because this may prevent Wilma from making a legitimate change to her Will after Harry dies.

Persons with blended families should talk to an estate planning attorney about how they wish to provide for both their children from a prior marriage and their current spouse in making a Will.

Freeholders: Be Prepared For Hurricane Season

OCEAN COUNTY – “Hopefully, we will never see the devastating effects of a storm like Sandy again, but even hurricanes that pack much less of a punch, can cause devastation very quickly,” stated Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “It is important that our residents know what to do before, during, and after a hurricane.”

Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Depa r t ment (OCH D) P ublic Health Coordinator, offered these basic preparedness tips: You and your family should know where to go and if you need to evacuate you should know your evacuation routes to take and have a plan for where you can stay.

Put together a disaster supply kit, including a f lashlight, batteries, cash, first-aid supplies, and copies of your critical information if you need to evacuate.

If you are not in an area that is advised to evacuate and you decide to stay in your home, plan for adequate supplies in case you lose power and water for several days and you are not able to leave due to f looding or blocked roads.

Make sure all family members have a

Support For New Jersey Heart And Stroke Patients

copy of your Family Emergency Communication Plan.

“In addition,” added Regenye, “it is important to prepare your home. There are several things your can do to eliminate or minimize damage from a hurricane, including the following: Before hurricane season or when you hear a hurricane may be coming, look around your property and if necessary, trim or remove damaged trees and limbs.

Secure loose rain gutters and downspouts and clear any clogged areas or debris to prevent water damage to your property.

Reduce property damage by retrofitting to secure and reinforce the roof, windows and doors, including the garage doors.

Purchase a portable generator or install a generator for use during power outages.

Remember to keep generators and other alternate power/heat sources outside, at least 20 feet away from windows and doors and protected f rom moist ure; and NEVER tr y to power the house wiring by plugging a generator into a wall outlet.

The Ocean County Health Department will continue to offer tips for hurricane season for residents at ochd.org.

NEW JERSEY – After a heart attack or stroke, following the doctor’s orders is important for physical recovery, but emotional support is just as important for cardiac and stroke survivors.

The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association offers an online Support Network to help heart and stroke patients, as well as their families and caregivers. Like a conventional support group, the Support Network connects patients who are going through similar journeys. The monitored Network also gives individuals access to experts via online chats and webinars, as well as personal insights from fellow survivors and caregivers.

It’s common for people to feel depressed, isolated and overwhelmed after having a heart attack or stroke. Remember, you are not alone. About 85.6 million Americans are living with some form of cardiovascular disease or the after-effects of stroke, and research suggests as many as 30–50 percent of stroke survivors develop depression in the

early or later phases post stroke.

“Emotional support is extremely important to recovering patients and caregivers,” said Stacy Quinn, a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) survivor and volunteer for the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association. “Feeling alone and becoming depressed are common after a heart attack or stroke. Interacting and connecting with others who have been through the same thing can help ease those feelings.”

The Support Network is a place to ask questions, find helpful information and tips, and share concerns or fears. Encouragement and inspiration can be found here, as well as the opportunity to offer your own words of wisdom and reassurance. The Network also provides information and materials for starting face-to-face community-based support groups and resources for healthier living.

To get involved and start the journey to emotional healing, visit heart.org/ SupportNetwork or StrokeAssocation.org/ SupportNetwork.

Another Day Older And Deeper In Debt

Dear Readers As I began to write this week’s column, my assistant brought me today’s letters and I want to address this readers concerns. A woman is heartbroken over an older son (in his 50s) who is not capable of managing money. A sibling had been put in charge, and, after what sounded like much grief, refused to do it any longer.

She is in her 80s and I’m sure she is concerned about the future, perhaps when she passes. I receive many similar letters, but hers touched me in a certain way.

Answer: When there is someone who is incapable of managing their own affairs there are many alternatives. In this case it sounded as if this son was irresponsible with money. Mishandling money often comes with illness. People who are bipolar can have episodes of selling the farm in exchange for luxuries etc.

They are not in a healthy state of mind and are delusional about outcomes and consequences. The same goes for people with addiction issues.

In this Dear Joel letter, it sounded to me as if she at one time managed her

son’s money and then delegated it to another son. They both had enough and will not do it any longer. For all of you who may have similar issues, there are guardians that can be trusted to take on this role. You can start with an elder law attorney or trust and estate lawyer. Banks have departments that for a fee will manage fi nances for those who are not capable. Certain people that we meet at Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing services cannot trust their children and turn these responsibilities over to an attorney or bank or fi nancial planner.

You can also start with social workers which are in abundance here in New Jersey. If there is not enough money to pay for a money manager, there is certainly enough to have a consultation with any of the above. Start somewhere and move in a different direction. Doing the same thing over and over again will accomplish nothing. Best of luck.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Advance Memory Research Institute of New Jersey

Providing Care And Spreading Awareness For Alzheimer’s Patients And Their Loved Ones

It is commonly accepted as fact that as we age, our memory starts to go … that becoming more forgetful is just a normal part of getting older. Science now tells us that this is not true, that increasing forgetfulness is not a fact of life but a symptom of a larger issue, a disorder, disease or injur y that should be diagnosed and treated when possible.

T he m o st c o mm o n diagnosis for someone experiencing markedly inc r e as in g fo r g et f ul ness as it progresses to dementia and begins to affect functionality, is Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s disease strikes at the core of what makes us human: our capacity to think, to love, and to remember.

The disease af fects over 40 million victims worldwide, and is one of the greatest medical mysteries of our time.

Effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease is limited and there is no cure.

Yet t h e r e i s h o p e.

Once a new medicine is developed, it must be clinically tested for 10 years before it can be offered to patients through prescr iption.

Patients par ticipating in clinical studies may see improvement in their symptoms through their treatment as they help to bring these new medicines to the market. Get ting involved in a clinical study early in the onset of experiencing memor y loss increases the likelihood that a patient will benefit from new treatments as they are developed.

Dr. Sharma also has a practice at Elite Medical Care in Freehold.

Beyond treatment, Dr. Sharma dedicates his time outside of office hours to properly educating the community on the long-term effects of Alzheimer’s disease, giving local presentations on a monthly basis to discuss the latest developments in memory research. Dr. Sharma finds that these presentations very helpful for people to gain further insight on memory loss problems they or their family members may be currently experiencing.

While studies indicate that one out of eight p e o p le over t he ag e of 65 are likely to be afflicted by early signs of memory loss or forg et f ulne s s, reac hing a c e r t ain ag e in li fe doesn’t necessarily im-

ply that you are more likely to have symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.

“What we know in science now is that getting forgetful is not the normal aging process.”

Sharma said, “It’s one of the symptoms which are telling that you have some underlying problem.”

Dr. Sharma meets at least one or two patients and family members per day to educate them on the effects and progression of memory loss to prepare them to take on this disease, and often to enroll them in a clinical study to explore new treatment options.

AMRINJ’s caring staff provides a unique and supportive environment that prioritizes comfort for their patients, according to Operations Manager, Anna Brocco.

When patients come for infusion treatments, they can sit and relax for an hour, enjoy a cup

of coffee and converse with other patients in a comfortable setting.

“We always greet with our patients with a smile, and say, ‘Hi, how are you?’” Brocco said. “The biggest thing that we get from patients who have actually c ompleted a study is that they want to come back because they miss coming here.”

By Wolfgang Puck

TORTILLA SOUP WITH SWEET CORN Serves 6 to 8 For the soup: 2 tablespoons corn oil 3 corn tortillas, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) squares 1/2 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped 4 or 5 large garlic cloves, peeled, trimmed and cut in half 1 small jalapeno chile, halved, stemmed, seeded and deveined 2 teaspoons ground coriander, plus more as needed 2 teaspoons ground cumin, plus more as needed 2 ears fresh sweet corn, husks and silks removed, kernels cut from the cobs, cobs reserved 2 large ripe tomatoes, about 1 pound (500 g) total, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped 3 tablespoons tomato paste 2 quarts (2 L) organic chicken broth or vegetable broth, heated Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Pinch crushed red pepper flakes 1/2 lime 1 tablespoon honey For the garnishes: 3 corn tortillas 1 large cooked chicken breast, skinned and boned 1 ripe Hass avocado 1/2 cup (125 mL) crumbled queso fresco or crumbled mild feta or shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 cup (125 mL) Mexican-style crema or sour cream

Small fresh cilantro sprigs 1 1/2 limes, cut into wedges In a pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the tortilla squares and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the onion, garlic and chile; saute until coated with oil, about 30 seconds. Stir in the coriander and cumin; saute until fragrant, 1 minute.

Stir in the corn kernels, tomatoes and tomato paste; saute briefly. Add the reserved cobs and the broth.

Bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer briskly until reduced by a third, at least 30 minutes.

When almost done, adjust the seasonings to taste with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and more coriander and cumin.

While the soup simmers, preheat the oven to 450 F (230 C). Cut the tortillas for the garnishes into thin strips and arrange on a small baking sheet. Bake until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.

At the same time, prepare the other garnishes. Dice the chicken. Halve and pit, then quarter and peel the avocado and cut crosswise into thin slices.

Back to the soup: Discard the corn cobs from the soup.

With an immersion blender, puree the soup coarsely in the pot. Or puree in batches in a blender or food processor, following manufacturer’s instructions to avoid spattering. Season to taste with more salt. Squeeze in the lime half and stir in the honey.

To serve, ladle the soup into shallow heated serving bowls. Garnish with the chicken, avocado, queso fresco, crema, cilantro sprigs and tortilla strips. Serve immediately, accompanied by lime wedges for squeezing into the soup to taste.
