New Lacey Super: I Want To ‘Change Perceptions’ Of District

By Daniel Nee LACEY – The new school superintendent says a little bit of good news can go a long way toward “changing perspectives” in the community when it comes to the school district.

Crag Wigley, who said he spent the first several weeks of school getting to know students, teachers and fellow administrators, believes the power of social media is key to getting out a positive message about what is happening in the district, even introducing a suggested Twitter and Facebook hashtag that can be used to promote the school system to the world.

“We want to promote all that is good in our schools,” Wigley said at his first school board meeting of the 2016-17 school year. “I’m sick and tired of the label that’s placed on public education, and the naysayers in social media and skewed news. We can use our free speech to emphasize the larger good.”

Without going into detail about any particular incidents, Wigley said positive news on the Lacey district often goes unreported in both social media and the press – a trend he hopes to fix by becoming the latest local community to actively promote a hashtag – a categorization system in social media – that students and other community members can use to tag good news items.

Wigley said students, teachers and administrators were asked to tag such items #LaceyPOP – standing for Lacey Points of Pride – when they come across a newsworthy, positive item.

A check of the hashtag on Twitter showed usage of the new phrase is catching on. A visit to Monmouth University by Lacey High School girls field (Lacey - See Page 6)

Election:

Continued From Page 1

As an independent, he says he does not have any ulterior motives or any favors promised to anyone.

He sees overspending, poor financial management of budgets, and a low ratable base as the biggest problems facing the township.

“I hope to provide a common sense approach to spending and budgets that are currently bankrupting the financial stability of our town,” he said. “Secondly, I hope to create an open forum where residents’ ideas and concer ns are addressed in a responsible manner rather than the current political smoke and mirror approach.”

A lber t Bi l le, an i ncumbent Re publican, has been on the Township Committee for six years. Two of those years has been as deputy mayor. He has also been on the zoning board and the planning board. He is the committee’s liaison to the chamber of commerce, recreation committee, and the Barnegat Food Pantry. He is a retired postmaster from various towns in northern New Jersey, most recently in Bayonne.

Bille says the biggest issues facing Ba r negat a re safet y, mai nt ai n i ng a stable budget in the face of lost aid, and bringing in additional ratables. He wants to continue projects that have already been started, such as completion of upgrades to Project Playground, and

The Southern Ocean Times, October 22, 2016, Page 5 “continue an even balance between our adult communities and family communities.”

A r ma ndo Q u i roz , a D emo cr at , is a teacher, who has taught at Barnegat High School, as well as in the Monmouth Regional School District, and has taught English overseas. He has served on the Barnegat Board of Education and the Barnegat Economic Development Committee. He has been involved in the National Education Association and the Pinelands Preservation Alliance.

Taxes are the most important issue.

The taxes increased 9.7 percent last year, or $2.1 million, he said. “Do the services – especially those cut during our opponents’ tenure – justify more than two million dollars?” Part of the solution is to cut full time worker’s health benef its for par t time politicians, the committee members.

In addition to a third party, objective audit, Quiroz said he wants to create an ethics committee to oversee that the best hiring and spending practices are taking place.

He said he wants to make sure people stay in Bar negat – both to live here and to play. He does not want families to travel to other towns to make use of their parks. And, he does not want working class families to be taxed out of town.

One-Year Term Alfonso Cirulli, an incumbent Re-

publican, retired in 2014 as an assistant principal in a high school. He has had 35 years in education. He has been on the Township Committee for nine years. Two of those years were served as mayor, and four as deputy mayor.

His original term was from 2004 to 2012. He is now finishing off a oneyear unexpired term. Before serving on the committee, he was on the planning and zoning boards for 17 years.

His main concerns are “stabilizing taxes while improving services, maximizing our ratable base and improving recreation facilities for all our residents,” he said. “Barnegat is a great town with great people. We will do everything possible to make it better.”

C r a i g K l e i n f i e l d , a D e mo c r at , retired as a sales manager at HOP Industries, where he was part of a senior negotiating team for raw materials, as well as working on budgets and dayto-day management of the sales team.

He is also a volunteer for Habitat with Humanit y, the Sier ra Club, and the American Legion. His main concerns are taxes, lack of transparency, and lack of suitable recreation.

He said that taxes have increased 400 percent since he moved here 38 years ago. The township should be getting more tax income from the residential developments, but they have not, because of a Payment In Lieu Of Taxes program that some newer rental properties enjoy. He also wants to do away

with health benef its for com m it tee members. He also questioned the salary of the police chief and business administrator, looking to make cuts in all of these aspects. He wants to do away with “sweetheart” deals to administrators and developers.

Kleinfield wants to have more meetings per month, since it has been cut back to one. An audit needs to be done in town to make sure that the governing body is adhering to the best practices of government.

In regards to recreation, the parks have to be maintained, and equipment replaced. Too many parents are saying that they take their children to parks in other towns. Adult communities need recreation as well. Some of this can be done at current parks, and some of it can be done at the recreation center or the Pinewood Estates empty firehouse.

hockey team, the high school marching band performing at Apple Fest, and a delivery of pretzels to students by PTA moms and Lacey police officers were some of the items highlighted.

“Ninety-nine percent of the positive news is never shared, never revealed and never appreciated,” said Wigley. “It’s really easy to criticize, but it’s really, really hard to say when things are good, sometimes. I do get a little worn from the negative commentary.”

agreed.

Committeeman Albert Bille said that the township has been making a list of everything that has to be fixed.

Committeeman Frank Caputo said that this has been an ongoing issue. Fixing the parks is only a temporary solution. Security cameras need to be installed to find out who is vandalizing.

Lacey, like many other districts, has dealt with its share of controversy and negative news over the past several years, from contentious political battles over spending and taxation, to the county-wide heroin addiction crisis. But while those items are often front-and-center on blogs, social media platforms and the press, Wigley said, so should positive news.

“I will continually push the positive message,” said Wigley. “We need to start to celebrate what’s good and turn the tide a little bit. We’re better than what we’re hearing from the press.”

At the same board meeting where Wigley promoted his positivity initiative, Assistant Superintendent Vanessa Clark said the district was receiving high marks from the state for its anti-bullying program.

According to Clark, out of 78 possible points in a statewide system rating compliance with the state’s anti-bullying law, Lacey High School received a score of 75. The middle school scored 73, the Mill Pond Lanoka Harbor schools scored 75, Forked River school scored 72 and Cedar Creek school scored 77.

“Our scores look really good,” said Clark, and are based on a self-assessment that calculates both compliance with anti-bullying laws as well as voluntary programs a particular school promotes in order to address the issue of bullying.

“Here in Lacey, our scores have consistently been well above average,” said Clark. “That can be attributed to the fact that we are striving to improve our HIB programs, our approaches and our initiatives to make sure they continue to be targeted and meaningful. It’s something we’ve always taken very seriously.”

Verizon, Other Contracts The Township Committee hesitated on a 50-year easement agreement for Verizon. The agreement would allow Verizon to continue providing services in town.

However, the governing body saw the 50-year contract as something they could leverage to get Verizon to give them better service. They wanted Fios, a more reliable Verizon product.

So, they declined to grant the 50-year contract.

Instead, they will determine a shorter time

period.

Mark Boccheri, Verizon’s Director of External Affairs, appeared at the meeting. He explained that the state only required Verizon to bring Fios to the 60 most densely populated municipalities in New Jersey, and 10 in the south to spread it out. “Our original intent was to place it statewide, but legislation got involved,” he said.

The township’s attorney, Congressman Christopher Connors, said it was legal to hold off on the agreement but eventually the township will

need some kind of agreement in place. “If you don’t have Verizon, you don’t have anything,” The Township Committee also authorized two significant projects. A Musco Light Structure Green System for the football field at Lower Shore Road was purchased through a cooperative pricing discount program in the amount of $174,398. The committee also awarded a contract to Mathis Construction Company for sewer rehabilitation in the amount of $194,754.60.

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. Vote!

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.

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.

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.

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 Legislature and executive branch must resist the urge to approve a flurry 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.

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/sex-offender-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 flashlights.

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.

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 traffic 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 Permanently. 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

NEW JERSEY – The U.S. Small Business Administration is reminding small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small aquaculture businesses and most private nonprofit organizations in New Jersey of the deadline to submit disaster loan applications for damages caused by the severe winter snow storm on January 22 through 24, 2016.

“Businesses that suffered economic losses as a result of the disaster and want to apply for low-interest loans from the SBA are urged to do so before

the November 22 deadline,” said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA Field Operations Center East.

Low-interest disaster loans are available in the following counties: Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester and Ocean in New Jersey.

Working capital disaster loans up to $2 million are available at 4 percent for small businesses, and 2.625 percent for private nonprof it organizations with terms up to 30 years. The loans are

Does New Jersey need a gas tax? Yes. Is the current size of the gas tax increase appropriate? It’s a good start. 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.

County Sees Spike In Turnout For Mail-In And Primary Voting

By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – 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 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.”

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.

601 Rt. 72 East • Manahawkin 609-549-3146

“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 vote-by-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.

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 Elec-

tions 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 infor mation on vote-bymail, visit the county clerk’s office at oceancountyclerk.com or the Board of Elections at 800-452-5254.

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

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

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.

Here’s To Your Health Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

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.

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.

Fund Your Business Program TOMS RIVER – Small Business Administration’s Lender Relations & Economic Development Specialist, Sheryl Paynter, will be at the Toms River library branch 7 p.m. on October 27.

She will provide people who are in business or thinking of starting a business with

information on business loans and technical assistance programs offered by the SBA. This program is free and open to the public but registration is required. Register in person, by telephone at 732-349-6200 or 609-971-0514, or online at theoceancountylibrary.org.

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 be sur prised 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.

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 At tor ney grants another person the ability to act on your behalf, regardless of illness. The scope of the Durable Power of At tor ney can be ver y 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 author it y to act on you r 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.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

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.

“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.

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.

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.
