Mayor: Pave Route 70 Now
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The good news is, Route 70 will get a long-past-due resurface and rehabilitation. The bad news is, the highway won’t get those things until 2019. But Manchester Mayor Kenneth Palmer wants residents to write letters to get that repaving date moved up. “The squeaky wheel gets the oil, so to speak,” Palmer told The Manchester Times. Two projects are slated for improving Route 70, although neither will widen the road. The one, on the western end of town between County Road 539 and Pemberton Township’s North Branch Road,

will see that stretch of highway repaved around 2018 to the tune of $16.5 million.
–Photo by Quinn Peacock Route 70 through Manchester to the Toms River border will not see much-needed improvements until early 2019, something Mayor Kenneth Palmer finds unacceptable. He’s urging residents to write to the DOT to demand that repaving be moved to a sooner date.
The second project, sponsored by the New Jersey Department of Transportation and considered a “study and development program,” would repave and rehab Route 70 in Pemberton, Manchester, Brick and Brielle. That project is slated for early 2019. Palmer wrote to the state DOT on September 1, saying that he has contacted the state on other occasions about Route 70’s poor conditions. “I receive many calls and complaints concerning the poor condition of Route 70 throughout Manchester.

Questions Raised About Drinking Water Safety
By Jennifer Peacock and Catherine Galioto MANCHESTER – He walks Manchester town hall with a cup in his hand. It’s not filled with electrolyte-infused designer water or Hawaiian volcanic water or even the water bottled in Maine. No, Manchester Public Works director Al Yodakis fills his cup from the municipal water fountains that dot town hall’s hallways. The town’s water is safe, officials said. Resident Hank Glen asked officials about a report circulating that the township’s water supply is tainted with Chromium-6, or hexavalent chromium, which the National Toxicology Program reports is carcinogenic when ingested. The report conducted by the Environmental Working Group out of Washington, D.C., with an office in Oakland, Calif., showed that Chromium-6 is in the drinking water for more than 200 million Americans in all 50 states. The Environmental Protection Agency ordered that local water utilities test for the compound, and from 2013 to 2015 more than 60,000 water samples were taken across the country. According to EWG, 75 percent of those samples
tested positive for Chromium-6. California, the place where Chromium-6 entered the national consciousness thanks to the Julia Roberts’ 2000 film Erin Brockovich, depicting the real-life battle of contamination in Hinkley, Calif., set the maximum acceptable level of the compound at 0.02 parts per billion. The EPA placed a limit of (Water - See Page 5)

County Sees Spike In Turnout For Mail-In And Primary Voting
By Catherine Galioto OCEA N COU N T Y – No doubt, a hot presidential contest that grips headlines has led to increased voter turnout, as seen in the June primaries and in the mail-in ballots so far,
officials said. Voter turnout saw a tremendous spike when comparing this presidential primary to the last one, 2012. And a look at absentee/ mail-in voting numbers so far (Voting - See Page 7)

0.1 milligrams per liter and up to 100 parts per billion for total chromium. EWG said one part per billion is about a drop of water in an Olympic-size swimming pool. “There’s only one state that has a limit [on Chromium-6], and they set their limit at 10 parts per billion,” councilman Craig Wallis said. “So we’re even lower than them. … We’re so far below [the federal regulations], I’m not even sure why it became an issue.” Manchester’s water supply was tested between August 19, 2014 and June 16, 2015. According to EWG, the township averaged 0.99 parts per billion of the compound, with water samples showing a range of 0.0 to 0.18. Those numbers exceed what California scientists deemed negligible Chromium-6 intake but are well below what the EPA considers safe. The environmental group said the figures were provided by Manchester Township, which has an eastern and western service area. Only Pine Lake Park tested at 0.0. “Others towns in Ocean County were listed. We’re number one,” Glen said. “What is the township doing to try to alleviate chromium from the water?” Yodakis said he was not familiar with the report or why it was prepared. “I can’ comment to the validity of the report. Our numbers in it were correct. As to why we have the highest levels in the county, I quite honestly don’t know that
The Manchester Times, October 22, 2016, Page 5 that’s true. Maybe we do,” Yodakis said. “I can tell you that our levels are way under any EPA or DEP requirements. Chromium-6, the maximum level, is 100 parts per billion, which is a very small amount. We are 0.2 parts per billion. …Our water is safe. It’s meets all federal and state standards.” Chromium-6 is classified as an “unregulated contaminant” under the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Act, meaning the Act lacks any health-based standards for the contaminants. Other unregulated contaminants being tested for include chlorate, cobalt, strontium and vanadium. According to the eastern service area’s 2015 report, Chromium-6 was found at 0.1 parts per billion, with an acceptable range of no trace to 0.3 parts per billion. The western service area’s 2015 report, as well as the Lacey Road Water System report, does not include any testing information for unregulated contaminants, though that area was likely not up for study under EPA guidelines. The reports state that all federal and state drinking water standards were met. Yodakis said the township continues to exam ways to clean contaminants from the water supply, but those options are very costly. “As for right now, the drinking water is safe. It meets all requirements,” he said. According to the Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry, “Electroplating, leather tanning, and textile industries release relatively large amounts of chromium in surface waters. Leaching from topsoil and rocks is the most important natural source of chromium entry into bodies of water.
Solid wastes from chromate-processing facilities, when disposed of improperly in landfills, can be sources of contamination for groundwater, where the chromium residence time might be several years.” Yodakis said Manchester gets water from both deep and shallow wells. The deeper wells come from the Raritan aquafer and the shallow from the Cohansey. The main producing wells are the deep wells. He said there are no traces of Chromium-6 in the Raritan, where the majority of the township’s water comes from. The shallow wells from the Cohansey do have traces, he said. He does not know why one has traces and the other doesn’t. In its independent report released September 21, EWG showed the Chromium-6 levels in water tests, allowing site visitors to search via ZIP Code for their water supply’s levels. Locally, the averages include: Barnegat Township Water and Sewer, 0.059 ppb; Beachwood, 0.07 ppb; Brick MUA, 0.009ppb; Jackson MUA, 0.042 ppb; Lacey MUA, 0.033 ppb. Manchester Township Water Utility, 0.099 ppb average; Manchester Township Western Service area, 0.071 ppb average. Stafford-Beach Haven West, 0.047 ppb; Ocean Twp. (Waretown) MUA, 0.083 ppb. Regional water service areas, such as Suez, include: Aqua NJ Eastern, 0.085 ppb; NJ American Water Coastal North, 0.048; United Water (now Suez) Toms River, 0.072 ppb.

this season show those ballots outpacing previous years, according to the county clerk’s office. Primary Turnout With 47 percent of registered Republicans and 51 percent of registered Democrats voting June 7 in their party’s presidential primaries, the increase is attributable in part to the open election ‑‑ that is, each party having a contested primary without an incumbent, said Ocean County Clerk Scott Colabella. However, Colabella said it is the national interest in this year’s election in particular that is helping to drive the county’s numbers, as well as voter turnout state-wide. “There was definitely a huge increase in voter turnout,” said the county clerk of the primary. “That’s compared to 2012, the last presidential primary.”

took a beating last winter, and intermittent patching has been unsatisfactory,” he said. “The result is many potholes and portions of the roadway in a severely deteriorating condition.” When asked when Route 70 was last paved, Palmer was unsure but jokingly said it was probably sometime in the 1800s. The General’s

As of that date, 19,736 Vote by Mail Ballots were issued by the clerk’s office. Colabella compared that with an early October date for 2012: “In comparison, at approximately the same date in early October 2012, the last Presidential Election year, our office had issued 14,943 Vote by Mail Ballots. As such, we have issued nearly 5,000 more Vote by Mail ballots than four years ago at this time,” he said. As they have in previous years, the November demand for clerk services will lead the Board of Elections to likely hold weekend hours the days before November 8, he said. “In conjunction with the Board of Elections we do plan on offering additional office hours for voters during the week before Election Day on weeknights, and during the day (Saturday/Sunday) on the weekend prior to the election. As soon as we have finalized plans for the additional hours we will notify the media through a release,” he said. Colabella said that in the 2012 election,
38,000 voted by mail. “Some of that was because it was right after Sandy,” said the county clerk, referencing how many residents were displaced because of the storm that year lead to record high mail-in ballots. “That year, Seaside Heights had a low turnout, because lot of residents were displaced, that has changed since things have gotten somewhat better.” However, he said the trend is toward more people voting by mail-in ballot instead of heading to the booth on election day. “More and more people are voting that way,” he said. “It did increase over the four year period.” All vote-by-mail applications sent through the mail must be received by November 1, but a voter can also stop in the clerk’s office in person by 3 p.m. November 7. For more information on vote-by-mail, visit the county clerk’s office at oceancountyclerk. com or the Board of Elections at 800-4525254.
“Manchester is home to the largest number of senior citizen communities in the state, and our residents are keenly aware of the hazards created by poor road conditions,” Palmer said. The response from the DOT, outlining the timeline of the projects, failed to quell the mayor’s concerns. “I cannot express the level of disbelief that Route 70 will not see any improvements until 2019. Quite frankly, the road is horrendous only made worse by each
winter’s creation of potholes. Aside from being extremely dangerous because it is only one lane through Manchester, the condition of the highway is deplorable,” Palmer said in a September 20 return letter to the DOT. “The ongoing patching and pothole repair fails to make the road passable to our senior community.” All residents in town use the highway, he said, adding that he is “puzzled” why the state is paving the western end of Route 70 in Manchester first, since the heaviest
traffic on Route 70 is at the Toms River border, not Pemberton’s. The mayor is asking residents to write letters to the DOT, demanding that Route 70’s improvements closer to the Toms River border be moved up. Residents can find a letter to sign at manchestertwp. com/wp-content/uploads/route70.pdf. The letter is addressed to Richard T. Hammer, acting commissioner of the DOT. Route 70 stretches nearly 60 miles from Brielle to Pennsauken.

Similar to this year, the presidential candidate for each party was already presumed going in to the primary in 2012. “At that point, both primaries were already pre-ordained,” said Colabella. “In 2012 Mitt Romney had already won enough delegates, as the case this year with Donald trump, while Kasich and Cruz still have their names on the ballot.” In the 2012 presidential primary, 24 percent of registered Republicans voted in the primary, compared to 47 percent this year. On the Democrat side, the 2012 primary turnout was 24 percent, but was 51 percent for this year’s primary. Mail-In Ballots The county clerk’s office is also busy issuing mail-in ballots, also called absentee or voteby-mail ballots, at a clip outpacing the last presidential race, Colabella said. As of October 4, the county clerk’s office has issued about 5,000 more mail-in ballots for this year’s General Election than for the 2012 one.

Featured Letter Voting Is Our Responsibility This is not a political challenge or attack, or trying to make a political point or statement! It is a fervent plea to all Americans and it’s spoken from the heart, to the hearts of each American. We, the people, are all very tired of all the political pettiness and annoyances and candidates attacking each other and the opposing party instead of telling us what we so desperately need to hear. How is anyone going to fix what is broken, instead of telling us it is not as broken as we know it is, in our country and all over the world. I think this speaks from and for the soul of America. Hopefully, we all watch the news on TV, read the papers all over the world, or use the Internet. Whatever our tool of information and learning, we all, also, hopefully know the history and backgrounds of all our political candidates, the detailed scandals of the past that cannot be denied, pushed under the rug or lied away with smiles and promises. We all know what we witness almost daily in our country and our world; it is not pretty, matter of fact it is a lot of hatred, violence, prejudice and just downright ugly and not the world we had hoped for our children and their children and the future, or the world most of us have grown up in. This is our collective heart. We wanted, want, and know we can do so much better. Our decision in November is a difficult one but a crucial one. But, we must all be able to look ourselves in the mirror that day and lay our heads on our pillows that night and feel in those hearts that we have made the best, most intelligent, informed decision of our lives. Our futures depend on it. We should all hope and pray that we have each tried our best to be a part of the solution not a part of the ongoing problem. We all need to use our right and privilege wisely, whether it be
to vote for our party’s candidate, the opposing party’s candidate or an independent voice of our own choosing. We must put our trust and faith in the voice we think, no, we feel will be the one who will lead our country to the full potential it was meant to be, to the greatness it should be, to be the beacon to the world as it has always been. Please don’t waste that right and privilege or feel it is a waste of time and not vote at all. That would be the biggest disservice to the country, the world and inevitably to yourself. You cannot put your head in the sand and think that if you don’t vote you can say, “Well, I didn’t vote, so you can’t blame me.” Yes, we can and we will. Be a part of your own history. We need to believe in ourselves again. To teach our children that all life matters and not that no lives matter as some of the world’s enemies believe. We must all work hard to stop the hatred and the violence and the bloodshed we see almost daily in our country and our world, putting fear and doubt in the hearts of us and our children. Not just leave it to our leaders, either. Please cast your ballot. Let your conscience be your guide. Let there be a smile in that mirror on that November day and let your head rest easily on your pillow that night. Please be grateful for that right and privilege and remember those who gave their all to ensure that right and privilege for all of us. It more than a right or a privilege–it is your responsibility. You owe it to those who sacrificed the ultimate to ensure you that privilege and you owe it to your country and yourself to be your own hero. God bless you, God bless us all and God bless and help America and the world and keep her safe, secure and sane. Our country, our world is counting on each and every American to do the right thing.

Letters To The Editor Is There Life Before Death? Did you know? There is even a World Day for Farmed Animals. It’s observed fittingly on October 2 (Gandhi’s birthday). It’s intended to memorialize the tens of billions of animals abused and killed for food around the world. My first instinct was to dismiss it. But, I wanted to understand the impact of my diet and my food dollars on others. Recent undercover investigations showed male baby chicks suffocated in plastic garbage bags or ground to death, laying hens crowded into small wire cages, injured pigs killed by slamming their heads against the concrete floor, and cows skinned and dismembered while still conscious. As theologians debate whether there is life after death, I wondered whether these animals have a life before death and why I should subsidize these barbaric practices. I wonder no more, as I have now embraced a plant-based diet - green and yellow veggies, legumes, fruits, nuts, and some grains. Occasionally, I indulge in nutbased cheese or ice cream. Although I was motivated
by compassion for animals, I have since learned that my diet is also great for my health and for the health of our planet. Henry Traconi Toms River
Use Our Freedoms Each Election Day Apart and alone in the lobby of Manchester Town Hall is a ‘Chair of Honor’ flanked by the American and POW flags honoring our service men and women who never returned from the fields of combat. It stands there as a memento to their sacrifice. Every day, visitors to this facility see this empty chair and are reminded of the 91,000 missing service men and women since WWI— all MIA’s. They voted for our freedom to vote with their lives. We, the survivors, should feel compelled to use that freedom every election day by casting our vote. In the voting booth, with just a flick of your finger you have fulfilled an obligation that was given to all of us by their spilt blood. Ballots, not bullets, determine who leads our Country, State, City or Town. Our vote counts as much as the President’s, the multi-billionaires’ or those living in

Troglodytic Misogyny Donald Trump unleashes a litany of loutish comments about women and then lightly dismisses them as mere “locker room” banter. When I was a younger man I was active in several sports: football, basketball, and baseball. Consequently I spent a good deal of time in many different locker rooms. I do not recall ever hearing language that even approached Trump’s for sheer crudity and troglodytic misogyny. Real men do not talk that way Michael J Doherty Berkeley
Yet Another Article In yet another article about Mr. Trump’s behavior prior to his becoming a candidate for the presidency, it is nauseating to me; however, no more so than Mrs. Clinton’s husband who was impeached for a particular intern. This intern whom I shall not name was not the only other woman in the former president’s life. According to people in Arkansas, Mr. Clinton while serving in public office there, began his philandering and before the public’s eye, he walked with his wife and daughter out of our White House - I remember that day vividly. So if Mr. Trump is truly
repentant about past dallies, shouldn’t we base our vote on what he can do for the country now. This is not to say I will or will not vote for Mr. Trump but isn’t this episode in his life like calling the kettle black while the pot is just as black. Ah yes, please let us all think about the future and which candidate would recommend a fair Supreme Court justice and more. I look at the choices and for me, it’s not a pretty picture either way but I’m also tired of the Clintons who’ve been in Washington what seems like forever so I believe I’ll go with one of the other non-famous parties. I do think Mr. Trump would put the right people in the right places but I, like many of you, am just sick and tired of this election... time will tell. Bette Kooreman Whiting
What Can 23 Cents Buy? On the state Legislature’s 23-cent gas tax increase along with a host of tax cuts, the increase in the gas tax revenue should enable a number of positive things to happen in New Jersey, but only if state leaders commit to the following: Manage the Transportation Trust Fund Responsibly. Past management practices of the fund have allowed excessive borrowing and borrowing for short-term improvements. This has had the unfortunate result that all of the revenue going into the fund is now being used to pay debt service on projects that have already happened, leaving no funds for future projects. The Legislat u re and executive branch must resist the urge to approve a f lurry of new-capacity projects funded by new debt, and instead ensure that a majority of the new funding go toward a pay-as-you-go system for maintenance and repairs.

Transit. Transit-oriented development is one of the biggest economic drivers in the state. Companies across the country are increasingly interested in locating near transit stations and New Jersey is well positioned to take advantage of this trend. In addition, thousands of riders use NJ Transit every day and demand is increasing, which means less wear and tear on our roads and reduced traff ic congestion. The state must increase the capital funding that goes to transit projects, including figuring out how to pay our share of the cross-Hudson rail tunnel. Fund Transit Operations Per manently. The state contributes approximately $300 million per year from the general fund toward NJ
Transit operations, since Transportation Trust Fund money cannot be used for this purpose. Given the large tax cuts that are part of the gas tax compromise legislation, it is unclear where the state will make spending cuts to offset the reduced revenue. The state must ensure that NJ Transit operating dollars are preserved in the annual budget and identify a dedicated funding source for ongoing operations. Target Road Funds for Biggest Benefit. Aside from transit projects, the state needs very few new-capacity infrastructure projects. The backlog of maintenance and repair projects should be the state’s singular priority. In order to prioritize these projects further, the state should
look at supporting projects that will enjoy the highest per-capita use. The state must re-commit to a “fix-itfirst” approach and incorporate per-capita use when making difficult decisions. Does New Jersey need a gas tax? Yes. Is the current size of the gas tax increase appropriate? It’s a good star t. Will this gas tax create a truly sustainable Transportation Trust Fund? We don’t know. We need to know how this money is going to be spent, that the tax cuts won’t have unintended consequences and that the financial structure of the trust fund will be sustainable, so that the state’s residents and businesses aren’t asked for another increase in a few years to pay down the state’s credit-card balance.

Trick or Treat 2016 Scheduled
MANCHESTER – Trick or Treat this year is scheduled for October 31 from noon to 9 p.m. in Manchester Township. While Halloween is one of the most enjoyable times of the year for children of all ages, it also presents dangers if proper precautions are not taken. The following tips should help keep the occasion safe and fun for everyone: Plan costumes that are bright and reflective. Make sure that shoes fit properly, costumes are short enough to prevent tripping, entanglement and contact with an open flame and do not obstruct vision. Children 12 and younger should be accompanied by an adult. Plan your route and share it with family members. Carry a flashlight so you can be seen by
others. If possible, stay in groups and walk on sidewalks. If no sidewalk is available, use the farthest edge of the roadway. Look both ways before crossing the street and try to cross only at corners. Do not hide or cross between parked cars. Only Trick or Treat in well known neighborhoods and at homes that have a porch light on. Never enter a strange car or home to accept a treat. Be cautious of animals and strangers. Never eat unwrapped foods items or open beverages. Have an adult inspect your treats before eating them. Notify law enforcement immediately of any sign of suspicious or illegal activity.

Pinelands Month NEW JERSEY – October is Pinelands Month. In 1996, the Pinelands Preservation Alliance asked Governor Christie Todd Whitman to declare the month of October as Pinelands Month. This designation was a call to action to every member of the Pinelands community – residents, business owners, and organizations – to
celebrate this incredible place. October is an especially picturesque time of year – cranberries are being harvested, the leaves are changing, and the air cools down making exploring the Pine Barrens even more enjoyable.

–Photo courtesy Manchester Township Police Department Manchester Township Police Department Lt. Vincent Manco was presented with a $500 donation to the Manchester Township Police K-9 Unit by the Leisure Knoll Harmonics musical group. MANCHESTER – On October 5, Lt. Vincent Manco was presented with a $500 donation to the Manchester Township Police K-9 Unit by the Leisure Knoll Harmonics musical group. After approximately 25 years of performances throughout Manchester Township’s senior communities and nursing homes, the Harmonics have made the decision to disband. With some funds leftover from their years of running the group, the Harmonics membership decided it would be fitting to make a monetary donation to the Manchester Township Police K-9 Unit. This generous donation from the Leisure Knoll Harmonics will be put to good use to help ensure the continued success of the Manchester Township Police K-9 Unit. The funds will be used to purchase K-9 unit-related equipment as well as to pay for training for both the dogs and their handlers. “We’re grateful to the members of the Harmonics: Ruth Wittich, Joyce Walker, Valerie Marchinetti, and Karen Czerna, for keeping our K-9 Unit in mind as they made plans to
give back to their community. The public support our K-9 Unit continues to be impressive and appreciated,” said Lt. Manco, who has overseen the Unit since its re-establishment in 2014. Donations like these help to offset the cost for care, maintenance, and training for the K-9 Unit and reduce the usage of township funds. The Manchester Township Police K-9 Unit greatly appreciates the community’s continued support of the re-established Police K-9 program. Donations are handled through the Manchester Township Police Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides funding for youth and community outreach programs, police charities, investment in advanced education and training, and funding for specialized equipment and technology in order to help our police officers better perform their duties. To donate, please log onto the Manchester Township Police Website at manchesterpolicenj.com and click on the “Police Foundation” tab.

–Photo courtesy Goddard School of Route 70 Toms River TOMS RIVER – On October 11, Sergeant Steven Austin from the Toms River Police Department came out for Rescue Heroes month at The Goddard School. The children loved it and had some great questions for Sgt. Austin. They were excited to see all of the police gear and its use. At the end of the presentation the children were able to go outside and sit on the motorcycle. The students love when Sergeant Austin takes time from his busy schedule to visit the school. They look forward to having him come back next year.

Are You Tired Of Hearing? People with perfectly normal hearing are able to hear and understand much of the sound around them automatically. They do not have to get help from lip reading. They do not have to concentrate. They do not have to stop what they are doing. They just hear. Someone with a hearing loss does not have the luxury of automatic hearing. If you have a hearing loss, you have to pay close attention, use lip reading when you can and concentrate. Hearing and understanding do not happen automatically. Hearing takes attention and energy and you just can’t do it 12 or 14 hours a day. Hearing aids allow you to hear better and that is great. But it may be just as important that hearing aids allow you to hear with less effort and energy. They allow you to be more relaxed as you communicate with the people around you. Of course, you cannot listen carefully full-time and there will be times when you do not hear as well as other times. You may not hear as well if you are
tired, under stress or you are thinking about something else. That is why we suggest that anyone speaking to you gets your attention before speaking. On the other hand, if you are ready and if you are paying attention, you can hear better than you really want to. You just can not do it full time. Actually, many people with hearing loss are able to hear and communicate surprisingly well in spite of hearing only 50 or 60 percent of the speech sounds. But, we live in a very demanding hearing world and sometimes anything less than 80 to 90 percent is just not good enough. If someone tells you, “Okay, I will see you on the 15th,” and you hear “Okay, I will see you on the 16th,” it was not enough to hear most of the message. So the next time someone says “you can hear me when you really want to,” you can correct them: “No, you mean I can hear you when I really work at it.” Remember, if have hearing loss, hearing takes attention and energy. You can do it 12 to 14 hours a day.
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.
County: Always Best To Be Prepared During Hurricane Season TOMS RIVER – County government departments and agencies are always keeping an eye on the weather and are prepared for whatever Mother Nature may have in store. Hurricane season concludes at the end of November and in recent weeks, named storms have been developing in the Atlantic and marching up the coast. Preparations for serious weather events include creating or updating a disaster supply kit. The kit should include a gallon of drinking water a day for each person and a battery-powered radio, which could become the sole source of information during an emergency. In the event of a hurricane, the National Weather Service can usually provide up to five days of advanced warning, however being
prepared could save a life. Residents should stay alert for and follow all directions that are broadcasted. Many local radio stations provide information on Ocean County. In the event of an evacuation, like that which occurred during both Hurricane Irene in 2011 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012, it is recommended that essential items be brought along including prescription drugs and any special dietary foods. If transportation is a problem, plan with neighbors beforehand to ensure assistance will be available. If needed, evacuation assistance can be obtained from the local municipal office of Emergency Management or the Ocean County Office of Emergency Management.

Headaches Connected To Low Thyroid
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I like saying ‘I told you so’ because it means you got my help years ahead of everyone else. And in this case, it’s about headaches and migraines, and how this condition is tied to hypothyroidism and thyroid hormone insufficiencies. Because headaches and thyroid disease is not life-threatening, there isn’t a lot of focus or research on it, but either condition can leave you disabled, impair relationships and reduce your ability to work or play with your children. Six years after I first told you this, we have a new and very large study that was printed in the September 2016 issue of a highly respected publication, The Journal of Head and Face Pain. I’ll nutshell it for you here. Researchers followed over 8,000 people for 20 years. They tracked vital statistics such as frequency of headaches and migraines as well as biomarkers of thyroid disease. What they found is exactly what I told you in two of my books, Thyroid Healthy, and also Headache Free…that is people with migraines, clusters and tension headaches almost always have hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is when your body fails to produce adequate amounts of thyroid hormone, or perhaps it produces it, but your cells can’t take it in and put it to use. Symptoms of low thyroid include anxiety, mood swings, weight gain or inability to lose weight, dry skin, hair loss, poor eyebrow and eyelash growth,
irregular menstrual cycles and the feeling of always being cold. Your hair may be thinner than it used to be, and you’re clean out of energy. Maybe you look pale, sleep fitfully or not at all, or you eat like a bird and still gain weight. If you have these symptoms, you might have low thyroid hormone levels regardless of what your lab tests say. If you take a medication for cholesterol, for example a statin, those drugs may raise your risk for hypothyroidism, so then after a few months of taking a statin your cholesterol numbers look good, but you feel tired, weak, and heavier. I told you about that little problem 7 years ago. Anyway, researchers from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine did a great job monitoring these folks, and what they’ve noticed could help you. People with pre-existing headaches have a 21 percent higher risk of having hypothyroidism, if you have migraines, your risk for thyroid disease is about 41 percent greater than the norm. If you have headaches or migraines, your thyroid levels need to be checked properly. The labs I want you to take and a better set of reference ranges (because the ones on your lab report are old), can be emailed to you if you sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com. If you live in chronic pain or despair I really want to assure you that there is help out there, it’s often something simple, and regardless of your headache, there are solutions. Please don’t give up.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
I Know About This School Dear Joel, I have a son who has learning and behavior issues. It has been suggested to me that he attend a therapeutic school. I have been doing my research and am terrified by the price per year. There is no way that I can afford even a year of that education. Additionally what I am finding out is that many of these schools are located on the West Coast. Any suggestions? Answer: Every child in New Jersey is entitled to an education. There are therapeutic schools throughout the entire country. Some of the schools can cost $100,000 including room and board. Virtually no one can afford those high dollar amounts. You must start with the guidance counselor at school. Ask if the principal can be present at the meeting
as well. Do not b e s u rprised if you are met with resistance. The school districts do not like to shell out any extra monies for any student. You may have to meet with the school board in your district. Depending upon where you live, it can be just a battle to a full blown war. If it gets to be very difficult, there are attorneys who specialize in getting students extra funding for their special needs. If you need further help please do not hesitate to write me.

Why Do I Need A Power Of Attorney?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C Shea, of R. C. Shea and Associates
In the past you may have made an appointment with your attorney to prepare a Last Will and Testament and Living Will, however, you may not realize the importance and convenience of a Power of Attorney. A Power of Attorney can be crucial during a time of disability. Additionally, a Power of Attorney can be useful if you are on vacation and unable to perform simple everyday decisions. A Power of Attorney can be useful for people of all ages. A Power of Attorney enables you to identify a trusted family member or close friend as Attorney-in-Fact. The power of the Attorney-in-Fact is determined by the type of Power of Attorney that you execute. A Durable Power of Attorney grants another person the ability to act on your behalf, regardless of illness. The scope of the Durable Power of Attorney can be very broad encompassing all financial, banking and personal decisions. For example, this Power of Attorney allows the Attorney-in-Fact to pay bills, borrow money, complete tax, medical and other forms for you. In addition, you may name an Alternate Attorney-in-Fact, if your first choice is unable or unavailable to act on your behalf. In contrast, a Limited Power of Attorney is very narrow in scope. This would limit the Attorney-in-Fact’s authority to act on
your behalf only if you become disabled. While this document is executed prior to the onset of a disability, it can only be used if and when, but not before you become disabled. In order for the Limited Power of Attorney to become effective, you may need a physician’s written report to confirm you are disabled and unable to manage your personal and financial affairs. You may need a Power of Attorney if you are out-of-state or country on vacation, and require someone to act on your behalf. For instance, you may appoint a family member, close friend or your attorney as Attorney-in-Fact to complete a real estate closing. In this case the Power of Attorney would specifically outline the purpose, time period and extent of the Attorney-in-Fact’s authority. This power would be only for the purpose of closing or selling and expire after the closing is complete. In addition, the specific property would be identified in the Power of Attorney, therefore, limiting the closing power to only the specific property. Whether you are traveling away from home, planning for the future or have a loved one with disabilities, a Power of Attorney can be the best way to ensure the appropriate decisions and duties are carried out for you or your loved ones.

Lectures To Explore Christian Genocide In The Middle East, Kristallnacht
TOMS RIVER – The Center for Holocaust, Genocide, & Human Rights Education at Ocean County College will sponsor Two Lectures: Christian Genocide in the Middle East in October and Kristallnacht Remembered in November on OCC’s Main Campus, College Drive. These events are free and open to the public. Christian Genocide in the Middle East lecture will be on October 27 at 12:30 p.m. in the Lecture Hall, Technology Building. Light refreshments will be served. The presentation will be led by StandWithUs (Philadelphia Branch) Executive Director Joseph Puder and Associate Director Ferne Hassan. In 2016, Christians in the Middle East face the worst persecution and execution in over a thousand years. The mainstream media ignores it. As defined by the Geneva Convention, genocide refers to violent crimes and human rights abuses committed against groups with the intent to destroy the existence of the group. In countries including Syria, Iraq, and Libya, ISIS is committing genocide against Christians and other non-Muslim minorities; actions which John Kerry called “shocking human rights abuses.” Rapes, torture, kidnappings, forced marriages, bombings, and the destruction of religious property and monuments are accelerating at an alarming pace. Israel and, for now, Lebanon, are the only countries where human rights are respected and where Christians are free to practice their religion and are safe from persecution. StandWithUs is an international, non-prof-
it Israel education organization, which believes that education is the road to peace. Kristallnacht Remembered lecture will be on November 10 at 12:30 p.m. in the Lecture Hall, Gateway Building. Light refreshments served. The presentation will be by Lawrence Glaser, Executive Director of the NJ Commission on Holocaust Education. Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass) is considered by many as the beginning of the Holocaust in Europe. It occurred across Germany and Austria on November 9 and 10, 1938. Ninety-one Jews were killed, many others severely beaten. Thirty-thousand Jewish men were sent to concentration camps though most were released after a few weeks. Two hundred sixty-seven synagogues were desecrated and destroyed, windows of Jewish businesses were smashed, and thousands of Holy Jewish texts were burned. Although fully aware of the Nazi campaign against Jews from newspaper reports, the world exhibited no meaningful concern. It came to stand for the final shattering of Jewish existence in Germany. In the aftermath of Kristallnacht, the regime worked to assure that Jews could no longer survive in their country. The event is sponsored by the Ocean County College Center for Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Education; Kean University Holocaust Resource Center; and New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education. For more information, contact Dr. Ali Botein-Furrevig, Associate Professor of English & Literature, and Director of the Center for Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Education, at 732-255-0400, ext. 2368, or abotein-furrevig@ocean.edu.
Safety Comes First This Halloween
OCEAN COUNTY – County officials said that before trick-or-treating, parents should check the Megan’s Law website to learn about any potential sex offenders that may live in their neighborhood, or neighborhoods where their children may be going door to door for candy. The database lists up-to-date information on all convicted sex offenders who are residents of the Garden State. Towns, counties, zip codes and even individual streets can be easily reviewed. More advanced checks allow users to input the names of convicted sex offenders or check only newer records. The database can be accessed through a link on the Ocean County Government Homepage at co.ocean.nj.us. The page can also be reached directly at njsp.org/sexoffender-registry/index.shtml.
To keep children safe, an adult should accompany young children when going door to door. Trick-or-treat only on well-lit streets in the child’s neighborhood or in an area they are familiar with. Only approach a house that has outside lights on. Never walk on the shoulder of the road. Use sidewalks or walk on the grass. Trick-or-treaters should carry f lashlights. Parents should carefully check all candy before children eat their treats. Parents should teach children to walk and not run as they go from house to house. According to federal statistics, children are four times more likely to be struck by an automobile on Halloween than on any other night of the year.

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 hormonal imbalances cause significant 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, exercise, 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 such thing. Like anything worth having
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
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 hormone
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 ofOctober 22-October 28 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can be a night owl or an early bird but you can’t be both. In the week ahead you may be a busy beaver and tempted to work so hard that you exhaust your inner resources. Be sure to plan ahead to get adequate rest. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Social events and business meetings might become indistinguishable from one another in the week ahead. Your instincts are on target for love and money, but it might not help you buy items that require taste and discrimination. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Back pedal when you arrive at a crossroads. Delay signing agreements until all the facts are in and be sure to get all promises in writing in the week to come. It isn’t honorable to take an unfair advantage even if you can. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can be shrewd in business as this week unfolds. Rub your pennies together until they squeak. Although you can charm others with your brilliant oratory it might be difficult to make a romantic proposal. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Keep an ear to the ground. You could end up spinning your wheels if you try to initiate something important at work unless you listen carefully to someone’s advice. Find lasting pleasure from a job well done this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make long term security a priority. In the week ahead your instincts about financial matters are better than usual. You can make your workplace or office more comfortable and eco-friendly, as well as more productive.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your generous gestures and tolerant attitude might put you in the leadership seat on the job. As this week unfolds you may find a solution for a health problem through a diet change or develop a sense of contentment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the week ahead you might find that friendliness is next to godliness. Add a teaspoon of sympathy to a cup of knowledge and mix generously with common sense to solve a problem. You may receive helpful advice. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Slow down when you encounter the speed bumps of life. In the week ahead you may be fast and furious when money making is the subject. At the same time unexpected bills and expenses can slow you down. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Where there is smoke there is fire. You may get a whiff of an opportunity or ideas that lead to forming successful concepts. Make presentations and showcase your ideas in the best possible light in the week ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Avoid reacting emotionally to matters that require a cool head and logic. Use someone as a go-between for crucial negotiations. Sound advice from a professional or a friend can improve financial conditions this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Attend to matters that need inspiration or a creative touch as this week unfolds. This may be a good week to launch a new health regimen or begin a diet. With very little effort you can mend some very essential fences.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen
Game Day Grub, Revamped By Wolfgang Puck GENERAL TSO’S CHICKEN WINGS Serves 4 to 8 For the chicken wings: 24 chicken wing drumettes 1 bunch scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced, dark green parts reserved 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon grated ginger 1/4 cup (60 mL) peanut oil Pinch crushed red pepper flakes, optional Kosher salt For the spicy-sweet chili-garlic sauce: 1/4 cup (60 mL) peanut oil 2 or 3 Thai-style dried chili pods, broken into pieces 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) sugar 2 cups (500 mL) unseasoned rice vinegar 1/4 cup (60 mL) soy sauce 1/4 cup (60 mL) sambal oelek (Indonesian chili paste) 1 tablespoon grated ginger 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil For frying and serving: Peanut oil, for deep frying 1/2 cup (125 mL) cornstarch, plus extra as needed 1/2 cup (125 mL) cold water, plus extra as needed Cilantro leaves, for garnish Scallions cut on a bias, for garnish
Starting at the narrower end of each drumette, carefully cut through the skin and meat all the way around to the bone. With your fingers, push the skin and meat down to the opposite end to form a plump lollipop shape. Put the prepped wings in a mixing bowl. Add the white and some of the green parts of the green onions, along with the garlic, ginger, peanut oil, pepper flakes (if you like) and salt. Toss well. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or up to overnight. For the sauce, heat a wok or large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the peanut oil. When the oil shimmers, add the chiles and cook until they darken, about 1 minute. Stir in the sugar, vinegar, garlic, soy sauce, sambal and ginger. Boil until reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the sesame oil. Set aside 1 cup (250 mL), refrigerating the rest for another use. Too cook the wings in an automatic deep-fryer, heat several inches of peanut oil to 350 F (175 C); or heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 375 F (190 C) on a deep-frying thermometer. Meanwhile, stir together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Lightly dredge the wings in the slurry, then carefully place in the oil, taking care not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes; then drain on paper towels. In a wok or saute pan, bring the 1 cup (250 mL) of sauce to a boil and turn off the heat. Toss or turn the wings in the sauce. Using tongs, arrange the chicken wings on a platter. Spoon the sauce left in the pan over them. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and sliced scallion greens. Serve immediately.
