Councilman: Map Out Manchester’s Park System
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – A father decided to take his toddler daughter and mother to one of the parks around town. They decided on the World War II Veterans Memorial Park. Dad knew there were swings, somewhere, and they meandered trying to locate them. They did finally make it to the swings, but Grandma was unsure she would make it all the back to the car. Councilman Brendan Weiner went home from the park visit and went to the township website to look up information on the parks. He read about the veterans memorial park, “Within the wooded area of the park is a maze of walking trails and a playground with pieces resembling WW2 military equipment.” No kidding, he thought. A map would have been great. Weiner said he loves the parks in town, but wants updates and upgrades made not only to the parks, but how they are advertised. “We have such a great park system but we need to work on promoting it better. Like for example, do you know we have a whole fitness trail and fitness stations out at Harry Wright Lake?” Weiner asked. “Many residents may not have any idea about this and that is what I want to work on continuing to get out the message why Manchester is (Park - See Page 16)
Telling Their Stories, Honoring Their Service
By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – With annual Veteran’s Day events giving residents pause to honor the men and women who have served in the armed forces in our nation’s history, the towns and organizations across the area have held ceremonies and special events for the national holiday. One major local event is still to come, with November 14’s parade in Toms River, down Main Street
to Washington Street, set to step off at 9:30 a.m. The parade was rescheduled from November 11 after officials earlier this year found many school bands had a conf lict with the teacher’s convention held that day. A post parade ceremony in front of Toms River Town Hall will feature speakers and honored guests, including a placing of the wreath on the Veteran’s monument. The Ocean County Veterans
Day Parade has three grand marshals, representing three different service branches– the Navy, Army and the Marine Corps. They are Navy veteran Leonard Mueller IV, Marine veteran Ken Hagemann and his wife, Army veteran Barbara Hagemann. Each have served and earned honors for their military service, and continue to be involved in veterans groups, advocating on (Service - See Page 7)

A�ditor: Keep Eye On ‘Un��nded’ Pension Costs
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – While the required annual municipal audit showed all things in order in Manchester Township, the state has calculated the township has an “unfunded pension liability” of $54 million. The calculation was part of the report from Auditor Andrew Zabiega, of the accounting firm Samuel Klein and Company. This is the fi rst year that these figures had to be disclosed by law, Manchester’s director of fi nance Diane Lapp said. Based on its own figures, the State has determined that Manchester’s responsibility, should it come calling, would be $54 million. What is an unfunded pension liability and why does it matter? According to an August 2014 article by Mark J. Magyar for NJ Spotlight, “An unfunded liability in a retirement system is the shortfall between projected future payment obligations to both current workers and retirees and the amount of funding set aside to pay those
obligations. This shortfall takes into account both money currently set aside in a separate retirement fund and projected investment earnings on that money.” He went on to report that “unfunded liabilities are costs that need to be covered by future taxpayers.” But Township officials are not worried about the state doing that. Plus, the township has a surplus available that could help get Manchester past state obligations. “Manchester Township absolutely budgets for and pays the required pension levels imposed by the state every year. The auditor was commenting that should the State choose to increase required pension levels, we should be ready,” Mayor Kenneth Palmer said. “However, the Auditor noted there is not any discussion that he was aware of doing so at the State level. Fortunately, we have been able to maintain a healthy surplus for the past couple of years in case of any emergencies or new state imposed obligations.”
The township has two employee pension systems: Public Employees’ Retirement System and the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System. The township paid $759,246 into PERS and $1,686,725 into PFRS last year. Manchester had a $32.2 million budget for 2015. “What the auditor is concerned with, down the road, we somehow have to fund this liability, so the state might say, ‘Okay, you have to pay 10 percent of that,’ or, ‘You have to pay that over 10 years,’” Lapp said. “But there’s nothing in the state legislature to even start that process. It’s just a concern, that now that it’s disclosed, what’s going to be the next step by the state.” So if the state isn’t interested in collecting these unfunded pension liabilities now, why calculate them and how are they calculated? That figure reflects the number of people in the pension system—how many are retired and how many will likely retire,
how long they expect to live through the actuaries, and what the township and employees paid into the system. Lost values in the pension system itself or what the state has not funded contributes to that “unfunded pension liability” figure. “To me, it’s not a big concern because, it is just a number, it’s not a liability to the town, it’s not a debt owed by the town as of yet,” Lapp said. “The residents don’t owe $54 million. That’s not the case.” In an October 2016 report, the American Legislative Exchange Council reported the United States has a $5.6 trillion unfunded pension liability problem. And Governor Chris Christie’s creation of his “New Jersey Pension and Health Benefit Study Commission” in 2014 called the unfunded liabilities a “problem” that is “dire and will only become much worse if meaningful steps are not taken quickly.” According to reports, the state’s unfunded pension liability grew to $43.8 billion last year.

behalf of veterans. This year, Ocean County towns have seen the dedication of new memorials, gardens and events to honor veterans. A special October event held by Congressman Tom MacArthur’s office gave recognition for local World War II veterans, with several veterans who told crowds their stories at the Toms River American Legion. And in the Ocean County Mall, Thomas Eckholt of Toms River was presented the New Jersey Distinguished Service Medal to for his father, Paul, a World War II who survived the attack on Pearl Harbor. The medal ceremony was held on October 25 in the center court of the mall. The ceremony marked the start of a two-day visit of the veterans outreach kiosk from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day, where veterans and their family members can learn more about benefits or entitlements that they could be eligible to receive. Veterans and their families can call 1-888-8NJ-VETS for assistance. In addition, the Toms River American Legion Post dedicated a memorial area, complete with engraved pavers from supporters, who had messages and names of veterans enscribed. The fundraiser of the pavers helped to build the monument, which included flags, biographies and service information of the local soldiers who died in combat that the post’s American Legion Riders escorted back home as part of their respective memorial services. Also in Toms River this year, officials
The Manchester Times, November 12, 2016, Page 7 and the Garden Club of Toms River held a dedication of a Blue Star Highway Memorial Marker on November 5 at Winding River Park. The ceremony included the presentation of colors, National Anthem, military tribute, and remarks from the state Department of Transportation, the Department of New Jersey Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion Post 129 and Marine Corps League, Detachment 796. According to the township: “The Blue Star Memorial Program honors all men and women that serve in the United States Armed Services. This program began with the planting of 8,000 Dogwood trees by the New Jersey Council of Garden Clubs in 1944 as a living memorial to veterans of World War II. The Blue Star became an icon during World War II. It was seen on service flags in the front windows of homes telling others that a family member was serving.” In Jackson, the Veterans Memorial Garden continues to grow, with the concrete slab where a larger scale marble construction awaits additional funding through donations and fundraisers, such as the recent AMVETs dinner. The site, its founders said, is one for all veterans, not just for annual Veteran’s Day ceremonies but to reflect or simply sit over coffee. Since 2007, the Jackson site has raised flag poles, monuments, benches, and irrigation system and pond, and pavers which persons can purchase and have engraved.

Sexual Assault Knows No Political Party
Bragging about groping and sexually assaulting someone is no laughing matter, regardless of one’s political affiliation. We’ve certainly seen headlines over the years highlighting such inappropriate behaviors from both Republican and Democrat officials, and many of us have heard similar things from individuals not in the public realm, and it is simply not acceptable. Bottom line, no one deserves to be sexually assaulted or raped, and these crimes can affect anyone. In fact, U.S. Department of Justice data indicates that as many as 1 in 5 women will have been raped in
their lifetimes, and 1 in 33 men will have been raped. The numbers of those experiencing sexual assault is even greater. Individuals who’ve experienced rape or sexual assault are at higher risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorders, depression and anxiety, and even suicide. We encourage anyone affected by sexual assault or rape to call our hotline at 888-264-RAPE as help is a phone call away. For more information about our services our website is 180nj.org.

Letters To The Editor You May Say That I’m A Dreamer I’ve just completed my Christmas wish list, albeit a little bit early this year. First, I’d like to see mandatory “term limits” for all elected officials. Secondly, that research scientists come up with an over-the-counter, nonprescription vaccine that would cure Hillary Clinton of an affliction she’s had all her adult life – that is her inability to tell the truth. To put her condition in more sophisticated terms – “liar, liar, pants on fire!” Next, I’d be willing to relinquish one of my Christmas presents in favor of a “bag of coal” being put under Donald Trump’s Christmas tree this year, for the way he has treated many women. Mr. Trump is a lot dumber than he is given credit for. Another nice holiday present would be for the clergy to tell the truth; that they know nothing about life after death, nothing about heavens or hells, nothing about the destiny of humankind and nothing about devils, gods or angels. I would have them convey to their congregations – think for yourself, and do the best you can to increase the sum of human happiness and well-being. One of the nicest holiday gifts I ever received (and still have), is a framed quote by Robert Ingersoll which reads: “Happiness is the only good; reason the only torch; justice the only worship; humanity the only religion; and love the
only priest. The place to be happy is here. The time to be happy is now. The way to be happy is to help make others so.” Borden Applegate Jackson
Yellow Lines Matter It is outrageous that some New Jersey communities such as Mahwah in Bergen County and Mantua Township in Gloucester, are painting a blue line in between the double yellow lines on the road, to indicate unwavering support for police, amidst so many mostly black citizens being murdered by police officers. These municipal governments risk confusing drivers with such an unknown marking, threatening road safety, and sending a negative message towards minority groups and others who have called for much needed reform in U.S. policing. As long as these lines are present, no one should face a traffic ticket for improper passing, because the lines are confusing and obscured with this town-sponsored vandalism that sends a chilling message to black drivers.

especially over “inequalities” in the percent of state aid given to different districts. Public education in New Jersey is funded chief ly through local property taxes and State aid, with a comparatively small amount of Federal funding. School property taxes are collected by taxing municipalities and then paid to the school districts in which students from those municipalities are enrolled. State aid is paid directly by the state to school districts according to the shortfall between what the state judges is required to provide a thorough and efficient education for each and every student within a district and the amount raised through local property taxes. The primary goal of state aid to public education is to provide equal opportunity to all students to a thorough and efficient education regardless of wealth or social status, taking into consideration their educational needs. The administration of state aid by the state is apportioned to school districts to a number of educational categories in accordance with district need as assessed by the state from data supplied by school districts. The most important comparative index of a tax base’s ability to support the cost of public education is the tax base dollars behind each public school student in a school district. Districts having a higher tax base dollar amount per student can more fully fund the school district at a given tax rate, all other things being equal, than those having a lower tax base dollar amount per student. Thus, school districts having a higher tax base dollar amount per student will require less and will receive proportionately less state aid to provide a thorough and efficient education to its students than those school districts having a lower tax base dollar amount per student. When viewed from this perspective, state aid
has been given equitably to make up the shortfall, even though the percentages of state aid differ. An inference drawn from this is that communities having atypically few public school students (senior communities) must expect to receive a lower percentage of state aid than other more representative communities. And owing to the regressive nature of property taxes, low income and seniors on relatively fixed incomes will be hit hardest. To address this problem, the state has instituted property tax rebates and property tax freezes to qualified seniors. Nevertheless, the issue of “fairness” has been raised once again, this time, by Governor Christie with his proposal to fund each student the same dollar amount in state aid. Assuming that he is not ignorant, he has challenged the authority of the state to determine what a thorough and efficient education means for all New Jersey students. You can judge for yourself how far he will get by doing that – especially now that his term of office is coming to a close and as he continues to turn his attention more and more to his future political aspirations. Local politicos, who are so inclined, will continue to pay lip service to the Christie proposal while secretly praying for him to move on. Frank V Effenberger Manchester

Wolfe Bills To Support Military Families, Recently Clear Assembly Panel

N E W J E R SE Y – A long-awaited U.S. Army Corps of Engineers beach and dune construction project that will protect homes, businesses and infrastructure in coastal northern Ocean County – one of the areas hit hardest by Superstorm Sandy – has gone out to bid, Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin announced during a news conference. The project will cover some 14 miles of coastline along the Barnegat Peninsula and will protect the communities of Bay Head, Berkeley, Brick, Lavallette, Mantoloking, Point Pleasant Beach, Seaside Heights, Seaside Park and Toms River. This is the last major stretch of beaches to go out to bid for construction to Army Corps standards, a major goal of the Christie Administration in the aftermath of Sandy. Work on the project, expected to cost about $150 million, is expected to begin by the spring. “This is a great day for these communities and for New Jersey,” Commissioner Martin said during a news conference in Lavallette. “This crucial project will protect lives and property from the kind of devastation much of this area experienced during Superstorm Sandy. The Christie Ad-
cense plate and provide free or reduced beach fee access for spouses and families of veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. “These plates represent the support all of our troops deserve. They will provide much-needed help to families struggling economically while a loved one is
stationed overseas,” said Wolfe. Proceeds from the plates will be distributed to the Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom Yellow Ribbon Grant program administered by the New Jersey National Guard Suppor t for Returning Combat Veterans
program. They will provide grants to families of New Jersey Army or Air National Guard ser vice members who have been mobilized for over 90 days and are experiencing financial hardship. Wolfe’s second measure provides free or reduced fee beach access to the spouses
and children, over the age of 12 years, of veterans. Currently, the program is available only to the families of active members of the New Jersey National Guard. “This is a small way to honor the men and women who served honorably and their families who sacrificed so much for our
Dune Rebuilding Project Finally Goes To Bid
ministration has remained steadfast in its commitment to building a full coastal protection system of engineered beaches that, in addition to providing protection, are essential to the identity and economy of the Jersey shore.” Commissioner Martin was joined at the news conference by Army Corps of Engineers’ Philadelphia District Commander Lt. Colonel Michael Bliss, as well as mayors and other local officials. “We are pleased to be in a position to advertise the contract and move forward on this vital project,” said Lt. Colonel Bliss. “Getting to this point required a great deal of hard work at multiple levels of government. Ultimately, this project will serve to reduce the risk of storm damages for communities that were among the hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy.” “As the mayor of a coastal community that lost more than $2 billion in ratables from Superstorm Sandy, I couldn’t be happier that this project is finally moving forward,” said Toms River Mayor Thomas F. Kelaher. “The U.S. Army Corps’ dune and beach replenishment program is critical to the protection of Toms River and its valuable resources from flooding from future tropical storms, hurricanes and nor’easters. Once completed, this project will not
only benefit Toms River residents, our homes and businesses, but all New Jersey residents.” In October 2012, the project area was hit especially hard by Sandy, with the ocean breaching the peninsula in Mantoloking and record storm surge causing significant damage to Brick, Lavallette. Mantoloking, Seaside Heights, Seaside Park and the Ortley Beach section of Toms River. Homes, businesses, piers, boardwalks and infrastructure – including State Route 35 – were destroyed or severely damaged. Engineered beaches are a key component of the Christie Administration’s overall plan to make New Jersey more resilient to major storms. Properly engineered beaches and dunes absorb the impact of storm surge, preventing damage to structures and infrastructure. A key part of the project is the construction of dunes and beaches along a fourmile stretch of sea wall in Mantoloking and Brick that the DEP teamed up with the New Jersey Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration to build as added protection for Route 35. This is the main artery and coastal evacuation route through a particularly vulnerable stretch of the peninsula that was severely damaged during Sandy.
This highway which was, since reconstructed to modern design standards, was the scene of a major breach at the Mantoloking Bridge during Sandy. The protective wall is comprised of steel sheet pilings driven deep into the sand that will serve as emergency backup protection, with the beach and dune system providing primary protection to the roadway. After the award of the bid, expected this fall, work will begin with beach and dune construction in southern Mantoloking, as well as all of Lavallette, Toms River, Seaside Heights and Seaside Park. Work in Bay Head, Berkeley, northern Mantoloking and Point Pleasant Beach will begin after necessary easements have been obtained. A total of 545 easements are needed for the project. An easement is a legal right of access to private or municipally owned property the Army Corps and DEP need to perform construction. Nearly 350 easements – or 64 percent – have been provided voluntarily. The state has obtained additional easements through condemnation proceedings under the Eminent Domain Act, and currently has 149 condemnation proceedings in litigation, with 83 involving Bay Head, 53 involving Point Pleasant Beach, nine involving Berkeley and four
involving Mantoloking. “We are grateful to the majority of property owners who stepped up and voluntarily provided their easements because they recognize that this is the right thing to do for their neighbors and their communities, not to mention for the protection of their own properties,” Commissioner Martin said. “We remain disappointed in those who still cannot see the bigger picture. We will use all necessary means to secure these easements, including our court-affirmed eminent domain authority.” Over the course of the project, some 11 million cubic yards of sand will be pumped from offshore to build dunes and beaches. For most of the project area, dunes will be built 22 feet above sea level. Beaches will be constructed from 100 feet to 300 feet wide and 8.5 feet above sea level. The project area will receive periodic replenishment projects over the course of 50 years to replace sand lost through normal erosion. The federal government will be paying for 65 percent of the project using money approved under the 2013 Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, which funds projects that Congress had previously authorized but had not been completed by the time Sandy hit in October 2012.

country and state,” said Wolfe. “It’s a way to show our support New Jersey supports our troops and this would give people a way to show that support beyond words.”
will pay for 35 percent of the project from the state’s Shore Protection Fund. In other parts of the state, a $57.6 million beach and dune project encompassing beaches at the southern end of Ocean City, the Strathmere section of Upper Township and Sea Isle City in Cape May County is complete. And a $38.2 million project to construct beaches and infrastructure in Loch Arbour, Allenhurst and Deal in Monmouth County also is finished. A second Mon mouth County beach fill project from Elberon to Deal is ongoing. A $140 million beach and dune construction project covering 12.7 miles of beach on Long Beach Island is expected to be completed before the end of the year. Work is also expected to begin this winter on a beach and dune project for Atlantic County’s Absecon Island, which went out to bid earlier this month. The project involves initial construction of engineered beaches for Longport and Margate and replenishment of beaches in Atlantic City and Ventnor. In addition, periodic replenishment for Cape May Point and Cape May City is expected to take place this winter. For the Army Corps bid solicitation, visit fbo.gov/.

Township, Police Of�icials Recognize Ridgeway Fire Company’s Grant Writing Success
MANCHESTER – Manchester Township and Police Department officials recognized the money-saving efforts of township Emergency responders, most notably the Ridgeway Volunteer Fire Company for its recent success in securing more than three quarters of a million dollars in federal grant funding. While attending a New Jersey League of Municipalities seminar on grant funding for disasters, Township Emergency Management Coordinator Arthur Abline learned that 87 percent of agencies that apply for FEMA’s Assistance for Firefighter Grant do not get awarded any money. Despite the dauntingly high percentage of rejected grant applications, the Ridgeway Fire Company has had two consecutive years in which they were awarded funding. The total monies awarded to them totaled more than $750,000, which included money used to purchase a new fire truck. “The officials at Ridgeway Fire Company, led by Chief Michael Trimarchi, should be proud of their efforts in securing crucial funding through the Assistance for Firefighter Grant program. Their decision to retain the services of a top-notch grant writing firm to assist them with the process has benefitted
both the residents of the Township and the emergency responders from Ridgeway Fire Company,” said Chief of Police and Director of Public Safety Lisa Parker. “I would like to congratulate the fire company and their grant writer for their professionalism in securing this important grant funding.” According to Abline, the first step in securing a grant under this program is the electronic scanning of the submission. During the scanning process, documents are strictly reviewed by a computer and any part of the grant paperwork that is not correctly filled out or is missing information results in an automatic rejection. After this strict and highly critical review, only 13 percent of all submitted grants get funded. As for fire trucks, less than 2 percent of all such grant requests are funded. “On behalf of Manchester Township, we are incredibly thankful for Ridgeway Fire Company’s dedicated service and initiative. Their efforts have saved the town almost $800,000 in the last two years,” said Mayor Kenneth Palmer. “We cannot thank them enough for their strong commitment to saving the tax payers of Manchester money.”

in town. Weiner elaborated on his plans to The Manchester Times. “I see a need for a committee to assist administration with guidance on some things we can do to improve our parks as we are always trying to make things better. We currently have in place an Open Space Committee and we can either modify this committee’s responsibilities or we can create a new committee to assist with ideas and ways to improve our parks and recreation,” Weiner said. “These things can include updating our signage to remove redundancies and eliminate some of the many signs we see, incorporating maps that outline our trails at Harry Wright Lake Park and WWII Memorial Park and updating/identifying the many attractions our parks have to offer. This committee can assist in bringing our idea of a dog park to fruition!” Mayor Kenneth Palmer is interested in Weiner’s ideas. “Brendan’s idea about the parks was a very good one. I welcome the idea and will explore it more,” he said.

Did you know that your hearing health has a direct effect on your overall health? Some causes can be natural and others would surprise you. It is important to take an empowered, proactive approach to hearing health during every stage of your life. I would sincerely suggest that you read this column several times and share this information with your friends and family. Risk Factors Hearing loss is about twice as common in people with diabetes compared to those without the disease. Adults with pre-diabetes, whose blood glucose is higher than normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis, have a 30 percent higher rate of hearing loss compared to those with normal blood sugar. Current smokers are 1.69 times more likely, or have a 70 percent higher risk to have hearing loss than nonsmokers. Studies have shown that a healthy cardiovascular system has a positive effect on hearing. Conversely, inadequate blood flow and trauma to the blood vessels of the inner ear can contribute to hearing loss. Hearing Loss In America 1. One in three people over the age of 60 have hearing loss. 2. One in six Baby Boomers (49-68) have hearing loss. 3. One in 14 Generation Xers (3748) already have hearing loss. 4. One in five teenagers have some type of hearing loss. 5. Hearing aids can reduce the effects of hearing loss by 50 percent
Effects of Hearing Loss on a Patient’s Life Memory and Hearing Loss: Adults with hearing loss are more likely to develop problems thinking and remembering than adults with normal hearing. Degraded hearing may force the brain to devote too much of its energy to processing sound. Adults with hearing loss develop a significant impairment in their cognitive abilities 3.2 years sooner than those with normal hearing. Those with hearing loss experience a 30-40 percent greater decline in thinking abilities compared to their counterparts without hearing loss. Dementia and Hearing Loss: Seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. Adults with moderate hearing loss are 3 times more likely to develop dementia and those with severe hearing loss are 5 times more likely to develop dementia. Mental Health and Hearing Loss: Hearing loss results in social isolation. Adults with untreated hearing loss tend to withdraw from engaging with family and friends. Adults, 50 and older, with untreated hearing loss are more likely to report depression, anxiety, anger and frustration, emotional instability and paranoia, and are less likely to participate in social activities than those who wear hearing aids. The degree of depression and other emotional or mental health issues also increases with the severity of the hearing loss.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

HERE’S TO YOUR HEALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Four Simple And Potentially Life-Saving Tips On Breast Cancer By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Few things are more painful to bear than a diagnosis of breast cancer and all that goes with it. I have three close friends who are breast cancer th rivers today, although my mother-in-law died from it because the suspicious spot on her scan did not receive follow up imaging and by the following year, it was too late. She died in 1996. I miss her but I get to love her son, my sweet Sam. We’ve learned so much since then. I will share the new research now. There is a more comprehensive version of my article with more tips at my website, suzycohen. com. Just sign up for my newsletter to receive your copy. 1. Bone loss t reat ment may need to be re-evaluated. According to a paper published in Medical Hypothesis (2010), a lt e r at io n s i n t he s e r u m c a lciu m t o magnesium ratio could lead to increased development of new as well as recurrent breast cancer (due to low magnesium levels relatively speaking). The paper states, “Most women with hor mone sensitive breast cancer are recommended to take aromatase inhibitors, which causes bone loss and thus are generally prescribed Calcium and vitamin D, but not Magnesium.” So when you take high amounts of calcium all by itself for osteoporosis, it may be better for you to add supportive minerals like magnesium and/or vitamin D. Talk to your doctor. 2. Natural folate from salads and greens are incredible for you. Eating folate-rich foods appears to reduce risk. This was determined when researchers evaluated the diets of 367,993 women recruited from
10 European countries. The researchers used data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study. Eating a diet that is rich in dietary folate may be associated with a lower risk of sex hormone receptor-negative breast cancer, at least in pre-menopausal women. 3. There are natural SERMs like Rhodiola. The SERMs short for Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators can block estrogen-mediated breast cancer growth and help to maintain bone density in postmenopausal women. You know the drugs as tamoxifen (Nolvadex) and raloxifene (Evista) and others. A paper in Phytomedicine 2016 found that Rhodiola rosea acts a bit like a SERM by binding to estrogen receptors, counteracting TNF alpha and protecting bone cells (osteoblasts) from hydrogen peroxide. You should discuss the risks to benefits with your physician but it seems that with SERM activity, natural Rhodiola might help mitigate or delay menopause-related discomfort and support breast health. 4. Eating rosemary is powerful. This herb contains natural compounds such as rosmarinic acid that are protective of our reproductive organs. Another spice called Spica prunellae (Xia Ku Cao in Chinese medicine) contains this rosmarinic acid. There are studies on rosmarinic acid that are important to breast cancer survivors, for example one that found how it can slow or inhibit bone metastasis from breast cancer. There are more tips at my site. For now, consider putting rosemary sprigs in everything you eat. It’s easy, simple and provides many other health benefits.

Georgian Court University Named To Community Service Honor Roll
LAKEWOOD – Georgian Court University has been named to the 2015 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. The program recognizes colleges and universities that support exemplary community service programs and raise the visibility of effective practices in campus community partnerships. Georgian Court was recognized in the general community service category, which highlights the qualitative impact that a university’s service programs have on the community. Honorees are chosen based on the scope and innovation of service projects as well as measurable community outcomes. The most current honor roll evaluates service completed during the 2013-2014 academic year. At GCU, students, faculty, and campus community members donated nearly 71,000 in service hours to worthy causes. “One of the most important hallmarks of the Georgian Court University community is service,” said Evelyn Saul Quinn, GCU’s vice president for mission integration. “As a Mercy institution, following in the footsteps of Catherine McAuley, the founder of the Sisters of Mercy, we are inspired by her legacy of meeting the needs of our time. The entire community is dedicated to contributing to a world in need, both locally and as global citizens.” Quinn and her colleagues have developed a system to track the hours of service com-
pleted by every individual and organization on campus. Clubs, organizations, and honor societies receive a spreadsheet to follow the service completed each month. Students, faculty, staff, and administrators are given spreadsheets to track individual community service. GCU’s involvement is broad and far-reaching. The campus is involved in dozens of volunteer efforts, including the following projects and charities: Campus Clothesline Project for domestic abuse awareness; Veterans Day Memorial Wall; Team IMPACT; Harbor House Youth Shelter; Christmas collection for the homeless; FACES 4 Autism; Make-a-Wish Foundation; Sleepout for the Homeless; Read Across America; and back-to-school drives for Catholic Charities. “At GCU, we also understand that as we provide service, it is each individual here that benefits in even larger ways as we reflect on being part of the change needed in our world,” said Quinn. The President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll Corporation is administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service in partnership with the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as well as the American Council on Education, Campus Compact, and the Interfaith Youth Core.

On October 14, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie approved legislation to amend the New Jersey Estate Tax. Prior to this amendment, New Jersey was one of only a handful of states to have an estate tax and the state with the lowest estate tax threshold of any state. Under the new legislation, the New Jersey Estate Tax threshold will be raised from the current $675,000.00 to $2,000,000.00 effective January 1, 2017. As of January 1, 2018, the New Jersey Estate Tax will be eliminated. The change is not retroactive so it will not affect the estates of persons who passed away in 2016. What impact will this have? For persons with g ross estates with a value of less than $675,000.00 or for persons who are leaving their entire estate to their spouses, this legislation will have no impact. For persons who have estates greater than $675,000.00 the change in the law will reduce and then eliminate their New Jersey Estate Taxes. If you had an estate greater than $675,0 0 0.0 0 a n d h a d p r e v iou sly prepared Wills or Trusts to reduce or eliminate the New Jersey Estate Taxes, you should have those documents reviewed by an estate planning attorney to determine if those documents need to be revised in light of the changes to the law. For example, many people used complicated “credit shelter” Wills to reduce or eliminate the possible Estate Tax consequences. In most cases, this kind of tax planning required the persons to separate their assets from the assets of their spouses.
This kind of planning could be cumbersome Marc S. Galella Esq. and complicated in maintaining separate assets. With the change in the law, it may not be necessary to keep such complicated documents or to maintain separate assets for each spouse. The ability to change the complicated type of Will to a simpler Will may be desirable. Remember that the change to the New Jersey Estate Tax law does not affect the Federal Estate Tax which applies to estates in excess of $5,400,000.00 for 2016. Nor does it affect the New Jersey Inheritance Tax law which taxes inheritances which are passing to persons other than spouses, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The State left the Inheritance Tax law in effect. If you have an estate in excess of $5,400,000.00 or are leaving assets to persons who are not your lineal descendants, you may still need to consider some form of death tax planning. If you have any questions as to how the change in the New Jersey Estate Tax law affects your estate, you should consult with an estate planning attorney who can review your current documents and advise you as to what changes, if any, are recommended. The attorneys of R. C. Shea and Associates have been advising the residents of Ocean and Monmouth Counties as to estate planning matters for over 90 combined years.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED
He Does Virtually Nothing
Dear Joel, I have a 23 year old son who still lives at home. My problem isn’t that I object to his living here. What concerns me is that he doesn’t work and contributes nothing toward the household. He barely has any friends and does virtually nothing. I need help!
Answer: I’m not sure that you need the help. I hear nothing in your letter that indicates that. Your son on the other hand does need guidance. While I don’t hear that he is doing anything wrong, there isn’t much right being done either. I think that you have to start by having him pay rent. I’m sure your question is where
will he get the money from. My answer to that is by giving him chores and assigning a dollar value to each chore. So for example if you think that he should be contributing $150 dollars a week, have mowing the lawn worth $30, raking leaves $20 and so on. He may find that working for someone else outside the home is more pleasant. You, however, have to start somewhere. Let me know how it works out. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

Mathis Bridge Closed Through Spring
OCEAN COUNTY – New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) officials reminded motorists the Mathis Bridge/ Route 37 eastbound is scheduled to be closed through the spring to continue a deck replacement project. Traffic will be shifted onto the Tunney Bridge/Route 37 westbound in Ocean County. No wide loads will be permitted on the eastbound lane of the Tunney Bridge while the Mathis Bridge is closed. Drivers must obtain a permit from the NJDOT, which will direct them to an acceptable alternate route. For more information about oversize loads visit the NJDOT trucking web page. While the Mathis Bridge is closed, two lanes of traffic westbound and one lane eastbound will be maintained on the Tunney Bridge, separated by a moveable barrier. Should there be a need for an evacuation, all three lanes may be made operational in the westerly direction. The Mathis bridge will reopen by May 15 before the busy summer vacation season. There will be no Mathis Bridge openings for marine traffic between December 1 and March 15. This upcoming construction cycle will allow the contractor to rehabilitate the bridge operator’s house, install the new “can-
dy cane” style warning gates, conduct minor electrical work and continue with bridge work from the center bascule to the west. The eastbound Mathis Bridge and westbound Tunney Bridges are a pair of bridges carrying Route 37 over Barnegat Bay between Toms River and Seaside Heights. The Mathis Bridge, a mile-long double leaf bascule moveable span bridge completed in 1950, is the older of the two and in need of repairs. The $74 million federally-funded project will replace the existing bridge deck on the Mathis Bridge, which is 66 years old, make safety improvements to the barrier and railings, and repair and replace mechanical and electrical components that operate the moveable lift span.

In the week ahead you can profit from your businesslike manner and by implementing shrewd business ideas. Pursue financial security and success. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): On a scale of one to ten you might feel like a 10. As this week unfolds you can take the bull by the horns and accomplish whatever you envision. It may be the right time to initiate a new business or moneymaking activity. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It is plain as the nose on your face. You will find what you look for. If you are looking for proof of someone’s commitment and loyalty it will be obvious. This is a good week to make presentations and hold heart-to-hearts.

Transform An Ordinary Bowl Of Soup Into An Extraordinary Meal By Wolfgang Puck
BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP WITH CHEDDAR CROSTINI Serves 8 BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 large organic leek, halved lengthwise, thoroughly rinsed, and chopped 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 7 cups (1.75 L) organic, low-sodium chicken stock or vegetable stock or broth 1 tablespoon honey Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 2 1/2 pounds (1.25 kg) broccoli, stems peeled and coarsely chopped, florets cut into smaller pieces 1/2 lemon 1 cup (250 mL) shredded cheddar cheese CHEDDAR CROSTINI: 1/2 loaf crusty French bread or Italian bread, cut into slices 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling 1/2 cup (125 mL) shredded cheddar cheese, plus extra for garnish Heat the olive oil and butter together in a large nonreactive pot over medium heat. Add the leek and garlic, reduce the heat to low, and saute, stirring frequently, until the vege-
tables are translucent and very tender but not browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the stock, honey, and salt and pepper to taste. Raise the heat to medium-high, bring to a simmer, and continue simmering for 5 minutes. Stir in the broccoli and squeeze in the juice of the lemon. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is barely tender and still bright green, 4 to 5 minutes. Working carefully in batches, use a blender or food processor to puree the soup; or puree directly in the pot with an immersion blender. If serving the soup hot immediately, shred or sprinkle 1 cup (250 mL) of the cheese into the blender/processor or pot, dividing it among the batches if using a blender/ processor. Pulse to combine the cheese with the hot puree. If you’re making the soup in advance or want to serve a cold broccoli soup, transfer the soup to a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl inside a larger bowl partially filled with ice and water. Stir until cooled down completely. Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving. If reheating, stir the cheddar into the soup over medium heat. While the soup cooks or reheats, preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). For the crostini, arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the oven to the broil setting. Shred or sprinkle 1/2 cup (125 mL) of cheese over the slices and broil until melted, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Ladle the hot soup into heated serving bowls and sprinkle or shred a little more cheese over its surface. Float a crostini on top, serving more on the side. You can also serve with a few more broccoli florets, if desired.
