First Snowfall Totals For 2017

By Catherine Galioto The January 7 snowstorm hit parts of the area with as much as 9 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service.

The NWS numbers show areas such as Lacey, Barnegat and

Stafford as having the highest inch count.

Statewide, the record went to Port Norris in Cumberland County, with 10 inches.

Ahead of the storm, local offices of emergency ma nagement for Ocean County and

towns such as Berkeley, Brick and Tuckerton all issued alerts, ranging from slick road conditions, to plowing notices, to asking residents to remove parked vehicles from side streets.

Check out the unofficial snow total. How

Labor Counsel Appointment Pulled From Agenda

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – The resolution to hire a former Christie-appointed Superior Court judge was pulled from the agenda during the January 3 reorganization meeting.

Melanie Donohue Appleby was to be appointed labor counsel by a resolution on that meeting’s agenda.

Clerk Ann Marie Eden told The Jackson Times in an email on January 5 that it was Mayor Michael Reina and his administration that requested it be pulled.

“I would like to let

the audience know that resolution 010R-17 has been removed f rom this evening’s agenda,” Jackson Township Clerk Ann Marie Eden said at the reorganization meeting, adding the resulotion would be addressed at a later date.

A resolution can be pulled for any number of reasons. However, it is unk nown what the exact reasons are in this case. Reina and his administration did not respond to multiple calls for comment as (Agenda - See Page 18)

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

FEATURED LETTER Bail Reform In New Jersey New Jersey’s new bail system has a multitude of unresolved issues. Described by one commentator as “massive,” there are serious questions as to whether its costs can be covered, much less achieve the savings originally promised. Moreover, there is doubt as to whether this creation from Governor Christie, backed by legislative approval, is actually a fairer system than the one it replaced.

On the issue of cost and savings, three separate bar associations are suing the state Supreme Court over fee increases intended in part to support bail reform.

In addition, the New Jersey Association of Counties recently filed an action with the Council on Local Mandates, alleging that the new bail reform law was, by definition, an unfunded mandate and should therefore be struck down.

Then came a report from the state’s attorney general indicating there was no way to know what bail reform would cost until some undetermined future point in time after it is implemented.

The attorney general was also unable to establish that there would be sufficient savings to cover costs to local and state governments.

In the meantime, a number of county officials have

made public statements suggesting it is unlikely that the savings will cover the costs.

Regarding fairness, the lynchpin of the reforms is a computerized risk-assessment that is supposedly fairer to defendants by attempting to predict behavior.

The race neutrality of such assessments has come under serious question. Also, these risk determinations are not based on the current system, which looks at what a defendant is accused of doing in that particular case and setting bail based on that along with supplementary factors. Rather, the computer completely erodes the presumption of innocence.

It is far worse than a conduct-based system because the risk instrument weights prior conduct that cannot be undone, such as the age of an individual when they were first arrested or if they have had any prior criminal convictions – or how many.

In addition, it has been pointed out that, in some cases, the time it takes to assess a defendant can restrain their liberty longer than would have been previously necessary. In the old system, a cash or surety bond could have been posted and the individual freed.

Require Dog Microchipping We’re pleased to note that our town of Jackson has earned a good reputation for being animal friendly in many ways, as witness the recent Jackson Council legislation controlling unlimited dog breeding. Jackson also provides a collection bin in the municipal building for donations to the facility on Freemont Avenue, a much-needed pet food pantry at the Public Works Building, required rabies shots and of course the annual dog licensing rule.

We u rge the Cou ncil to take another step toward benefiting animals, owners and taxpayers by re qu i r i ng st e r i l i z at ion and microchipping of all dogs as they are presented for licensing and rabies shots. Cat owners should also be e ncou r age d t o sterilize and microchip their felines at low rates, perhaps by having several annual Pet Fair Days.

T hose si mple r ules would shar ply decrease the volume of surrendered cats and dogs who a re unwanted and abandoned.

Cats and dogs who are sterilized live longer, are far healthier and cost their humans less in vet fees.

Ja ck son shou ld once again take the leadership role in Ocean County by mand ati ng such a pro gressive program.

It is this por tion of society, the vocal minority, which is un happy with everything that law enfo r c e m e nt d o e s . T h e y are the portion of society who complai n because the officer did not wipe his feet while searching their house for a burglar or a motorist who gives a disapproving look and a nasty comment after given a break by an officer for a traffic violation and still posts the interaction on social media.

An area of coastal wetlands located in the Holgate section of Long Beach Island that was impacted by flooding during Hurricane Sandy is under plans for preser vation. The DEP h a d fo r m e rly a l lowe d the change of a wetlands boundary in a section of Long Beach Island to permit development in this f lood prone area further putting people at risk. The Sierra Club opposed this proposal because it would further threaten surrounding residents during the next storm and develop over an environmentally sensitive area. Wetlands act an important part of flood protection and help reduce the flood hazard level. These wetlands also protect water quality, while recharging the aquifer and offer an important natural habitat.

We support the Trust for Public Land preserving the Holgate wetlands because it will help protect the area during future storm events and prevent flooding.

The plan to preserve coastal wetlands in Holgate is good for the environment and the community. By preserving this property, it will protect people and proper ty at risk during future storm surges. This is an environmentally sensitive area that is subject to flooding and helps serve as a buffer to absorb storm surges. As the population of coastal communities keeps growing, the potential for disaster will be greater, which is why we need to buy out flood prone properties and move development away from the water’s edge.

We need a comprehensive approach do deal with climate change to lessen the impacts on storms along our coast. Instead the administration is doing the opposite and promoting more development, which is

why preserving this property is important.”

Instead of learning the lessons from Hurricane Sandy, the proposal to develop this property was a disaster waiting to happen. The DEP clearly sold out the environment to developers by rubberstamping permits for this development. That is why it is important that this property is protected so the surrounding community does not experience as much flooding and damage.

The approval of permits to develop this property shows DEP has continued to deny climate change science and sea level rise, which is making more people vulnerable during the next storm. We need to preserve this property because the Christie Administration rather protect developer’s interest instead of protecting people and the environment along the shore.

Cannabis Dispensary Licenses A Sham New Jersey and New York’s medical cannabis systems aren’t working for patients, and the few licensed dispensaries only serve to inflate the prices paid by patients, as well as to incentivize the states to prevent home growing to preserve retail sales tax revenue.

The state governments and the dispensary investors are laughing all the way to the bank with their sham monopoly dispensary programs, where a few will profit and the sick masses will overpay.

Well-connected allies of Governor Chris Christie received these federally illegal licenses in New Jersey, which spells corruption in itself.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office should open an investigation into the awarding of dispensary licenses and other potential corruption tied to dispensaries to New Jersey and New York.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

From The Desk Of Congressman Chris Smith Smith Leads Mission To Genocide Survivors In Iraq

Congressman Chris Smith ER BIL, IR AQ – Just days before Christmas, Chris Smith (NJ-04) went to Iraq to witness firsthand the plight of Christians who escaped ISIS into the Erbil area of the Kurdistan region and the failure of the Obama Administration to help them.

Af ter meeti ng with Ch r ist ia n fam ilies a nd leaders, and officials from the U.S., other Organization for Security and Cooperation in Eu rope (O S C E ) p a r t i c i p a t i n g St at e s a nd t he Un it e d Nations, Smith said he returns to Washington to lead Congressional efforts to target more humanitarian aid to Christians and other religious minorities who have survived genocide. Smith also visited a camp for 6,000 internally displaced people, managed and supported by the Chaldean Catholic Archdiocese of Erbil.

“This Christmas season, the survival of Christians in Iraq, where they have lived for al most 2,0 0 0 years, is at stake,” said Smith, who chairs both the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe and the House panel on global human rights and international organizations. “Today I met with Christian families who survived the ISIS genocide and have been ignored for two years by the Obama Administration. I hope that Preside nt-Ele ct Tr u mp w il l act urgently to make sure his Administration helps these Christians with the funds Congress has approved for sur vivors of ISIS atrocities.”

The Sy riac Or thodox

A r chbi sho p of Mo s u l , Nicodemus Daoud Sharaf, who had to f lee ISIS and seek refuge in Erbil, told Sm it h , “ So of t e n conc e r n for C h r i s t ia n s i s minimized. I am so happy, because you are the first American who has come to just ask about the Christians. We pray that President Trump will help us. We are the last people t o s p e a k t h e A r a m a ic language. Without help, we are finished.”

Smith said, “I also saw how the Obama Administration has shortchanged organizations conducting cr iminal investigations and collecting, preserving and prepar ing evidence usable in criminal trials. Per petrators will dodge punishment unless there is specific evidence linking them to specific atrocity crimes. My Iraq and Syria Genocide Relief and Accountability Act legislation is a blueprint for how to assist Christians and other genocide survivors and hold perpetrators accountable. I will be working tirelessly to get this bill on the new President’s desk when we reconvene in Januar y,” added Smith.

Responding to reports that the UN Office on the Prevention of Genocide is considering excluding Christians from its findi ng s of ISIS ge no cid e victims and recommendations for prosecution, Sm it h sa id , “ Eve n t he Obama Ad mi nist ration determined that ISIS has been committing genocide against Christians.

It would be outrageous if the UN ignored the overwhelming evidence and turned its back on these people who have suffered so much.”

I n 20 02 , t he r e we r e as many as 1.4 million Christians in Iraq. After

years of sectarian conf lict, followed by the ISIS genocide that began in 2014, they have dropped to less than 250,000. Most of the Christians who survived ISIS f led to the Erbil area, which now hosts more than 70,000 internally d isplaced Ch r istians, almost a third of all Christians in Iraq. Iraqis have been eight percent of the refugees and migrants who arrived by sea in the OSCE region in 2016.

The Chaldean Catholic Archdiocese of Erbil has provided most of the assistance to these displaced Christians – and has also assisted Yezidis and Musli ms – i ncludi ng food, s h elt e r, m e d ic a l c a r e , trauma care, and preparations for the impending winter. Smith was invited to Erbil by Archbishop Bashar Warda, head of the Archdiocese. During their meeting, Archbisho p Wa r d a e m ph a si z e d that u nless the ancient Ch r istian com mu nities of Iraq received significant f inancial suppor t very soon, they may not survive.

At a September hearing of t he Com m ission on Secu r it y and Cooperation in Europe, chaired

by Sm it h a nd e nt it le d Atrocities in Iraq and Syria: Relief for Survivors and Accou nt abilit y for Per petrators, Steve Rasche, Legal Counsel and Director of IDP Resettlement Programs for the Archdiocese, testified and said, “Since August 2014, other than initial supplies of tents and t a r ps, the Christian community in Iraq has received nothing in aid from any US aid agencies or the UN.” He added, “There’s a m ist a ken belief t hat it doesn’t get cold in Iraq. It snows in Erbil in the wintertime. Even the people

that we’ve put in shelters, it gets incredibly cold for them at night, and so there are additional costs for heating oil and blankets.

That is a concern for us.

Our costs will go up.”

Since 2013, Smith has chaired nine congressional hearings on atrocities in Iraq and Syria, including one entitled The ISIS Ge nocide De cla r at ion: What Next? and another e nt it le d Fu l f i l l i ng t he Humanitarian Imperative: Assisting Victims of ISIS Violence. He is also the author of the bipartisan Iraq and Syria Genocide Relief and Accountability Act (H.R. 5961), co-sponsored by Rep. Anna Eshoo (CA-18), which includes key provisions directing the U.S. Administration to: Support entities that are effectively serving genocide survivors in-country, including faith-based entities; Assess and address the humanitarian vulnerabilities, needs, and triggers that might force survivors to f lee their homes; Identify warning signs of deadly violence against genocide sur vivors and other vulnerable religious and ethnic communities in Iraq or Syria; Support entities that are

conducting criminal investigation into perpetrators of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Iraq and Syria; Close gaps in U.S. law so that the American justice system can prosecute foreign perpetrators present in the U.S., as well as any Americans who commit such crimes; Encourage foreign countries to add identifying infor mation about suspected per petrators of such atrocity crimes in their security databases and security screening; And create a “Priority Two” (“P-2”) designation for persecuted religious and ethnic groups in Iraq or Syria.

This legislation is suppor ted by many groups including the Knights of Columbus, 21st Century Wilber force I n it iat ive, In Defense of Christians, Ya z i d i Hu m a n R ig h t s O r g a n i z a t io n I nt e r n a tional, Commission for International Justice and Accou nt abilit y, Center for Religious Freedom at the Hudson Institute, Religious Freedom Institute, Simon Wiesenthal Center, Open Doors and others.

The bill has also been endor sed by all of t he for me r U.S. A mba ssador s - at-L a rge for Wa r

Crimes: David Scheffer (1997-2001), Pierre-Richard Prosper (2001-2005), Clint Williamson (20062009) and Stephen Rapp (2009-2015).

Smith also authored the bipar tisan H. Con. Res 121, wh ich t h e Ho u s e passed over whelmingly and calls for the formation of an ad hoc tribunal for per pet rators of cr i mes a g a i n s t hu m a n it y a n d war crimes in the Syrian conf lict.

The President signed into law the bipartisan, historic Frank Wolf International Religious Freedom Act (H.R. 1150), which Smith authored and Eshoo co-sponsored. This law makes sweeping changes that will help ensure that the U.S. Administration and the State Department have the tools, training, and resources to anticipate, help prevent, and respond to genocide and other persecution against rel ig iou s com mu n it ie s like Christians in Iraq and elsewhere.

Smith continues to encourage leaders in other OSCE countries to provide more humanitarian assistance to Ch r istian genocide sur vivors and support criminal investigations into and prosecutions of perpetrators.

–Photo courtesy Bill Zukowsky and Murray Blasz Director Priscilla Baker and Master of Ceremonies Albert Vrancart led the vibrant chorus of the Four Seasons of Metedeconk Lakes, joining us for the fi rst time, sharing the spirit of Chanukah through their beautifully presented songs, with unique introductions.

JACKSON – On the sixth night of Hanukkah, hundreds of residents, of all generations, braving a light but warm winter rain, were greeted by Honey and Bob Greenberg in the lobby of town hall, and enjoyed kosher jelly donuts, chocolate gelt, beverages, and spinning dreidel.

The Festival of Chanukah is celebrated for eight days. It commemorates the rededication of the holy temple in Jerusalem, following the victory of a small band of Jewish Maccabees over their mighty oppressors. Only one pure vial of oil remained, miraculously burning for eight days, until it could be replenished. Hanukkah reminds us of the universal message of freedom from tyranny and the timeless belief that miracles are possible.

In the main meeting room, Helene Schlegel, Township Business Administrator, Sean Gertner, Township attorney for the Zoning Board, and members of the Board of Education Tom Colucci, Vicky Grasso, Scott Sargent, were introduced.

Rabbi Jan Rosenberg of Beth Zion Messianic Synagogue, Howell, and President of the Jackson Clergy Association was introduced again, with several of his congregants.

Linda Selznick, co-Chair, read a certificate of thankfulness, “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace… Where there is darkness, light”… written by Bat Shalom Hadassah, and presented to Mayor Michael Reina and the Township Council, in appreciation of their kind permission, and the unending assistance of the Department of Public Works with the Menorah Lighting.

Rabbi Emeritus Michael Klein and Annie Klein, of Congregation Ahavat Olam, Howell, New Jersey, shared “the true message of Hanukkah, the right for people to believe as they choose, without coercion or fear.”

The Very Reverend Father John Bambrick, pastor of St. Aloysius Roman Catholic Church, stated the need “…to be people of encounter, accompaniment, and dialogue and to walk with one another and our neighbors. May we reject the aimless paths of disagreement and closed-mindedness and work to build bridges of understanding, harmony and peace among people of all faiths.”

Chabad Rabbi Philip Lefkowtz, a newly welcomed resident of Westlake, accompanied by his grandson Eli, shared: “…there is a growing awareness in the US of the diversity of beliefs, however many people are not sure how to be inclusive of others. Today, it’s about using a time to be with friends and family to build understanding and awareness about others no matter what each

person believes. Real unity in diversity is the new America.”

New Jersey State Senator Sam Thompson and Assemblyman Robert Clifton joined us again, reading a beautifully expressed ceremonial Joint resolution to the President of Bat Shalom Hadassah, conveying the message of religious freedom in our beloved country.

Director Priscilla Baker and Master of Ceremonies Albert Vrancart led the vibrant chorus of the Four Seasons of Metedeconk Lakes, joining us for the first time, sharing the spirit of Hanukkah through their beautifully presented songs, with unique introductions.

Drew Staffenberg, newly appointed Executive Director of the Jewish Federation of Ocean County, stated that: “in lighting the Hanukkah Menorah, I hope that the lights of each candle will shine brightly for the entire year and challenge each of us to work together for peace and freedom for all.”

Ellen Keller, President of Bat Shalom Hadassah, addressed all gathered, proclaiming: “May all of our deeds continue to bring shared hope, light and healing to the many lives which we, in Bat Shalom Hadassah, are blessed to reach.”

With a clearing sunset, the guests assembled on the lawn to witness the Menorah lighting, officially conducted by Rabbi Yosef Carlebach, Official Chabad lighting founder, and Executive Director of the Chabad of South and Central New Jersey.

Representatives of Bat Shalom Hadassah, the Yiddish Clubs of Westlake, Winding Ways, Metedeconk and South Knolls, and Jewish community leaders were honored by lighting a ceremonial chimney candle, as Rabbi Yosef Carlebach chanted the blessing of the candles and proclaimed: “This ancient miracle has lifted all of us, throughout the ages, out of the world of darkness, to ever increasing light and holiness.”

Rabbi Schmuel and Musi Naparstek, Co-Directors of the newly established Chabad of Jackson, shared, with their two young daughters: “No matter how many candles are lit from one candle, the original candle does not lose any light.

Brightening up the lives of others with goodness and kindness will never take away from our own inner light; it will only enhance our lives”.

Cantor Emeritus Neil ben Isvy of Marlboro Jewish Center concluded the lighting of the candles of the Hanukkah Menorah by introducing and leading the singing of Maoz Tzur, (Rock of Ages), a beautiful song of thankfulnes for our redemption.

The donation was made through the nonprofit/charitable organization Ocean of Love. Ocean of Love is dedicated to helping Ocean County children with cancer and their families.

New Egypt High School Student Chosen For Next Level In Prestigious Scholarship Program NEW EGYPT – Ryan Devine, a student at New Egypt High School has been named a Semifinalist for the 2017 class of the Coca-Cola Scholars Program. With the 2016 class, the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation will have provided more than 5,700 Scholars nationwide with over $66 million in scholarships.

“As a premier scholarship provider, we recognize our role in helping young people achieve their college goals,” said Mark Davis, President of the Foundation. “The economy continues to affect many students’ ability to attend the college of their choice, so it is critical we continue to stay the course.

The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation received nearly 86,000 applications this year, and the semifinalists are truly some of the most accomplished students in the country.”

Devine ranks with approximately 1,900 high school seniors who are in the running for 150 college scholarships worth $20,000 each. Students are selected to advance to this next phase based on academic excellence, leadership and service demonstrated in school and community activities.

Family Owned & Operated

The class of 2017 Coca-Cola Scholars will mark the 29th consecutive year that the Foundation has awarded scholarships.

In addition to receiving college scholarships, those students selected as Coca-Cola Scholars will be welcomed into a vibrant and growing family of alumni that fosters lasting connections with its members.

The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, a joint effort of Coca-Cola Bottlers across America and The Coca-Cola Company, is one of the largest corporate-sponsored, achievement-based scholarship programs of its kind in the United States. The program recognizes a diverse group of extraordinary high school seniors who have demonstrated academic and civic excellence in their schools and communities.

The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation was created in 1986 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Coca-Cola and to establish a legacy for the education of tomorrow’s leaders through college scholarships.

The district is proud of Devine and all that he has accomplished at New Egypt High School.

Local Cancer Survivors Walk Runway At Fashion Show Fundraiser

LAKEWOOD – It was a night of fun, fashion and a few tears, as 17 cancer s u r v ivor s mo d ele d st yl i sh a p p a r el provided by Macy’s at Monmouth and marked their fight against cancer.

The Celebration of Life Fashion Show, held December 5 at the Shadowbrook

at Shrewsbury, honored all cancer survivors and raised funds for the Cancer Suppor t Community (CSC) at Monmouth Medical Center and Monmouth Medical Center, Southern Campus, RWJ Barnabas Health facilities.

CSC provides an array of free services

for patients and thei r family members, regardless of where one receives treatment. Offerings include lectures, support groups, exercise classes and children’s programs at the hospital’s main campus in Long Branch and its southern campus in Lakewood.

Bill Arnold, president and CEO of Mo n m o u t h Me d ic a l C e nt e r, n o t e d that it was Frank Vozos, M.D., FACS, Monmouth’s longtime former president and CEO, who took up the torch of the struggling Cancer Support Community in Eatontown back in 2014 and committed to fully incorporating its programs and services into the hospital at both its main campus in Long Branch and its southern campus in Lakewood. The Cancer Suppor t Communit y opened its doors at its new home on the Monmouth campus on February 1, 2015 in Long Branch and on March 1, 2015 in Lakewood.

“Monmouth’s Cancer Services team, led by Joan Hogan, immediately and enthusiastically embraced the program and began the work of rebuilding the community” he said. “This past year, t he Ca nce r Suppor t Com mu n it y at Monmouth Medical Center provided 600 free, professionally led workshops, lectures, support groups, exercise classes, and children’s programs in its Long Branch and Lakewood locations. These support programs and services are offered to all cancer patients and those affected by cancer free of charge and regardless of where they seek treatment.”

Some 250 guests attended the show, which raised more than $50,000 for CSC programs.

Adding further poignancy was a video appearance by Honoree Arthur Greenbaum, Esq., of Tinton Falls, who was recognized for his strong support of CSC. The 91-year-old cancer patient and longtime Monmouth Medical Center board member provided a pre-recorded address for the event.

During the touching video, the retired attorney recounted his successful battle against prostate cancer over more than two decades. Although recently diagnosed with acute leukemia, he spoke of feeling “lucky” for his long, happy life and beloved family.

“As part of the night’s celebration, we were fortunate to honor Arthur Greenbaum,” Arnold said. “He is a longtime Mon mouth Medical Center board member, a personal friend to many of us, an accomplished lawyer, a devoted family man and one of the champions of the Cancer Support Community at Monmouth Medical Center.”

Also recognized were event chair and CSC volunteer Ellie Breslow, the committee members, models and other community members who helped make the evening possible. Dr. Vozos, who now serves as Executive Vice President, RWJBarnabas Health and Chief Executive, Monmouth Medical Center, Southern Campus, was credited with fully incorporating CSC’s services into both hospital campuses over the past two years.

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

Smart Phone Connectivity Technology offers all of us the opportunity to do amazing things ever y day that would have been unimaginable even 10 years ago.

T h e a d ve n t a n d p o p u l a r i t y of smartphones, such as the iPhone, has made our lives more convenient to the world around us than it has ever been.

Our goal is to allow us an oppor t u n it y to con ne ct people to the world arou nd them i n ways they may have forgotten, or never k now n i n the f i rst place; usi ng the most advanced hearing technology available. Several hearing aid manufacturers including GN Resound and Starkey have developed hearing instr uments which are iPhone compatible. What do patients like the most about this interactive breakthrough in hearing technology?

Here’s what we’ve gathered:

The ability to stream phone calls, music, videos, FaceTime calls, and Siri from you cell phone straight to your hearing aids.

The ability to make subtle adjustments for environmental changes with the touch of a finger, and that your iPhone remembers those settings, so the next time you return to your favorite places, you won’t need to make the same adjustments.

The ability to use your iPhone as an additional microphone during conversations-place it on a table at a busy restaurant and connect with f r iends, family, and other loved ones more clearly.

The ability to use your iPhone as a detector to find lost or misplaced hearing aids…GPS. The convenience of all of these features in one handheld, easy-touse device that you already carry with you.

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.

JACKSON, NJ 732-367-7773

Bartley Healthcare is partnering with Cent rast ate Medical Center to host an educational seminar to inform the community on how to make lifestyle adjustments that can help participants to compensate for attention and memory loss. Join them to learn about how the memory works, why it changes, and what people can do to help remember the things that they forget.

Bartley is hosting the seminar at The Orchards at Bartley Assisted Living.

The Orchards Assisted Living is located at 100 N. County Line Road in Jackson.

The seminar will be in two parts. Part One will be on January 23 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., and Part Two will be at the same time on January 25. The presenter will be Marilyn Abrahamson from Centrastate Medical Center. Abrahamson is a speech-lang uage pathologist at

Centrastate Medical Center.

Thirteen percent of Americans, aged 60 and older, reported worsening memory loss or confusion in the previous year. One in eight seniors repor ted this memory loss. The lifestyle habits that participants will learn from this seminar will help them to delay the sy mptoms of age -related cog n it ive decline. Delaying these symptoms can serve to help people maintain independence for as long as possible, or even return to work, play, and the enjoyment of every day.

Seating is limited, so anyone interested in attending the “Memory Changes As We Age” educational seminar, call Centrastate Medical Center at 732-3080570, or visit centrastate.com, and click on Classes and Events. There will be refreshments served.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

New Medications To Help With Dry Eyes, Seizures And Hallucinations

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

What an incredible year for pharmaceuticals. In 2016, many new and useful medications got FDA approved. My articles are syndicated worldwide, but I’m only listing English drug names so please ask your local pharmacist to translate the medication name for your country.

Happy New Year everyone!

Love, Suzy Anthim (Obiltoxaximab), Rx, Injection The Anthrax drug! While no one intentionally inhales Anthrax, the reality is that bioterrorism exists and could very well occur. So the FDA approved this injectable drug to help people who have been exposed from infected animals, contaimated animal products or from an intentional release of anthrax spores from a terrorist attack.

Once infected, irreversible damage and death usually occur, and Anthim is used to neutralize the toxin produced by Bacillus Anracis (a.k.a. Anthrax).

Xiidra (Lifitegrast), Rx, eye drops I believe in using DHA and other healthy fatty acids and natural “tear” drops to relieve dry eyes, but if you want a medication, Xiidra is now available. It blocks a protein and essentially makes you tear up more. The most common side effects are eye irritation or blurred vision and weirdly, an unusual taste sensation (termed dysgeusia) even though the drops are going into your eyes.

Adlyxin (lixisenatide), Rx, Injection This is a once-daily shot for adults with Type 2 diabetes used along with diet and exercise. It’s in the same category as another GLP-1 agonists like Victoza, Byetta and others. These drugs slow the speed at which food is digested and leaves the stom-

ach, so you might say they are inducing a temporary gastroparesis which can lead to digestive problems. Consider my my book on diabetes for natural options, Diabetes Without Drugs, Rodale 2010.

Nuplazid (Pimavanserin), Rx, oral tablets No one with Parkinson’s ever expects their mind to be affected, but the brain is definitely impacted and may cause hallucinations, delusions, emotional problems, altered mental status and cognitive difficulties. Nuplazid is a drug that helps treat hallucinations and delusions specifically associated with Parkinson’s disease.

Syndros (dronabinol), Rx, oral This is a liquid formulation of the pharmaceutical (not naturally derived) cannabinoid compound called “dronabinol.”

This does not grow on Earth but it is the drug version of THC, which is one of the components of pot (marijuana). Everyone knows that pot gives you the munchies, and it’s no different with this drug version called dronabinol. It can help with people who have experienced weight loss due to AIDS/HIV or chemotherapy during cancer treatment.

Briviact (Brivaracetam), Rx, oral tablets This drug is taken by mouth (not injection) and it’s used to treat partial onset seizures in adolescents and adults. It doesn’t cure epilepsy, however the dr ugs has been shown to reduce frequency, which can be very helpful while the cause of seizures is being discovered. Side effects vary, but mostly fatigue, nausea and dizziness.

Seizures occur in about 5 million people in the United States, and of ten cause muscle spasms, strange internal sensations, abnormal thinking and even loss of consciousness.

Inside The Law We Can Assist You With Your Land Use Application Presentation Before The Board

AFFORDABLE YOGA IN HOWELL!

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates As the previous article relating to the land use application submission process, this article will review what is required to present at the hearing.

At the public hearing the applicant is required to make a detailed presentation to the Board and its professionals. That presentation depending on the complexities and relief requested may require plans, aerial photos, color renderings, any variety of reports calculations or studies, and/or architectural plans to be presented. These exhibits are prepared prior to the hearing usually by the expert who performed the study or drafted the plan. They are placed on display board and many times smaller individual packets can be made to hand out to the Board for easier review. These exhibits are marked by the Secretary for identification purposes on the record and moved into evidence.

It is required that any relief that the Applicant is requesting from the local design regulations or zoning ordinance, in the form of a design waiver or variance, requires expert testimony to be presented to the Board from a professional engineer, planner or architect. Therefore, at the beginning of the hearing each of the Applicant’s experts are sworn in and must place their credentials on the record and ask the Board to accept their testimony as an expert.

Then the Applicant’s attorney and each expert go through a series of specific and detailed questions in order for the proper proofs to be placed on the record that will substantiate the granting of each relief requested. These questions will vary from

the current location, zone and use of the property to the benefits that the new proposed development will provide to the surrounding area. The expert will also testify as to how the application comports with the local zoning ordinances, zoning plan and master plan, or that any deviation from the same will provide a benefit that outweighs any potential detriment. The Board members, Board professionals and members of the public will also be afforded the opportunity to ask the Applicant’s experts questions.

The hearing is open to the public and interested individual shave the right to listen and even participate in the hearing. An interested party may speak either in favor or against the application. If that interested party has a strong objection to the application they too may retain legal counsel, and experts to provide testimony to the Board to contradict the testimony of the Applicant’s experts. After all the testimony is completed and all comments are placed on the record the Board closes the public portion and begins the deliberation process.

As can be seen from the information above the presentation of a land use application before a Land Use Board requires understanding of the MLUL. The attorneys at the Law Office of R.C. Shea and Associates can assist to make this process stress free.

Look for future articles on the Land Use Process which will review the components of a resolution and the post approval compliance procedures. If you want to know more call or visit our firm at 732505-1212, located at 244 Main St. in Toms River, or email us at rshea@rcshea.com.

Agenda:

Continued From Page 1 of press time. It is also unknown, at this time, whether the resolution would appear at a future meeting or why Jim Holzapfel, labor counsel for many years, was not being re-appointed.

Municipal code states that such appointments are made by the mayor and adopted by council resolution. The township solicited this and other contracts, with proposals due by December 1, for a one-year term

for 2017. The Jackson Times also inquired whether Holzapfel submitted a proposal, and how many proposals were received, but did not receive a response as of January 10.

Appleby now has a private practice on Hadley Avenue in Toms River. She was a Superior Court judge in the family division, appointed by Gov. Chris Christie in 2011.

She had worked at Gilmore & Monahan, the law firm of Ocean County Republican chairman George Gilmore. She had also served on the Toms River Council.

Appleby, a judge at the time, was suspend-

ed without pay for one month in November 2014 when the NJ Supreme Court found her guilty of ethics violations for not reporting a conflict of interest.

According to the complaint filed by the Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct, Appleby used a lawyer for a personal child support matter. This lawyer, Frank A. Louis, had pending cases before her court.

Appleby did eventually add Louis to her conflicts list several months later.

Although Louis was aiding Appleby, he sent a letter to Appleby’s ex-husband on

another attorney’s letterhead. This attorney, Mark Biel, said he was unaware of this even though his office sent the letterhead to Louis. Appleby was aware of it, according to the complaint.

The resolution was the only one pulled from the reorganization meeting agenda, and council then approved its annual appointments for professionals and other officials.

Jackson Township council meets on January 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the municipal building, 95 W. Veterans Highway.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Break Up To Make Up That’s All We Do

Dear Joel, I am concerned about my 23-yearold son. He has been dating his girlfriend for over two years. She breaks up with him repeatedly. It sometimes feels that it happens every other month. I have told him that this girl is not right for him. I have to constantly explain to family and friends why she is at some holiday dinners and not at others.

If there is a family wedding, her absences are always noticed. I don’t want him hurt and am tired of how she treats him. He seems to always go back for more punishment. It makes me feel less of him and I don’t li ke feeli ng t hat way. Do you think it’s a good idea to speak with him?

Answer: I think that speaking to him is fine. After all, you are a concerned parent. That being said, I want to caution you about your communication style. If your plan is to say that his girlfriend is not right for him, she’s trouble, no good, etc.,

i n all li ke l i ho o d , you w i l l m a ke t h e s t o r y wo r s e fo r ever yone. He already knows that you disapprove of her. I can assure you of that. He already hears your voice in his head. W hat I would do is make suggestions of moving towards new experiences. Have him join a gym, do volunteer work, get a second job. In everything that I mentioned he will be meeting new faces, trying new things and most likely feel better about himself. His self esteem will clearly improve.

His girlfriend may find new respect for him as well. Your son is 23 and must make his own choices. If they are the wrong choices, I don’t know of anyone who has always done the right thing. I wish you and your family well.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of Januay 14-January 20.

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A neat desk indicates a disciplined mind, but some clutter might prove you are busy. Your work will benefit from orderliness and organization. Focus on establishing routines in the week to come.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Consider your words carefully in the week to come. Routine conversations may be taken the wrong way and drive a wedge between you and others. Put off crucial agreements, and meetings.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Flowers don’t bloom unless a little rain falls. The few frustrations you experience in the week ahead will be worth the result. Forge forward fearlessly but don’t spend money too freely.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Steer clear of mean memes and disruptive debates. You may easily meet up with people suffering from chip-on-shoulder syndrome in the week ahead. You may be challenged to exert your authority.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Remain alert to nuances. Even in the midst of difficulties you may derive valuable insights in the upcoming week. Even when jobs seem overwhelming you will learn something new.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It is best to be sincere and to the point this week.

Focus on making the best of uncertain situations without getting flustered. If work was always fun, you would pay to do it and not the reverse.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may feel like a social diva that amuses others in the week to come but it is possible that not everyone is impressed by your antics.

People are easily provoked but may hide their animosity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Brains and brawn create an unbeatable combination. Your financial ambitions can be realized in the week ahead if you persevere.

You can easily cope with heavy obligations.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): To get where you want to go you must do what you like the least. No one ever said that achieving your ambitions would be fun.

Focus on putting forth your best efforts in the week ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Quickly shifting conditions might shift your focus this week. Wait for better timing to enter into important agreements or make major investments. Family members may act unpredictably.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Snap decisions could be necessary this week, just don’t snap at those around you. Use tough-minded business tactics to fix problems. Don’t procrastinate about making a sincere apology.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Hide and seek. You may veil your innermost thoughts with some people, but your sensitivity may emerge under the right circumstances.

Avoid making drastic financial decisions this week.

This Year, Get Acquainted With A Grain From The Past

By Wolfgang Puck

I’ve made more than a few New Year’s resolutions in the past. And, like most people, I can probably count on one hand those I’ve successfully kept for more than a few weeks. But I’m happy to report that one I’ve managed to stick to has been to eat more healthfully - a goal with which so many of us struggle.

What I’ve learned is that the bigger any goal is, the harder it becomes to keep. Promise publicly that you’re going to revolutionize your daily diet overnight, or lose an enormous amount of weight quickly, and you increase the likelihood of failure. After all, with such lofty definitions of success, even one tiny slip-up can seem like disaster.

Set more reasonable goals, though, and you increase the chance that you can enjoy small victories that build your resolve almost every day. The result can be real, positive results.

Little changes in the way you eat can help you build a foundation for weight loss and more vital health. Decide to choose leaner cuts of meat, for example, or eat a low-fat vegetarian main dish once or more per week, or have fresh fruit for dessert, and you can gradually, successfully change your eating habits.

Even introducing a healthy new side dish can make a difference. Take, for example, my recipe for farro and root vegetable pilaf.

Farro, an ancient ancestor of wheat that you can find in the rice and grains section of many well-stocked supermarkets today, has a satisfying, earthy, nutty f lavor and a chewy texture that makes it a pleasure to eat. In the following recipe, it forms the foundation for an earthy, nutty, f lavorful side dish that is rich in fiber and other nutrients while being remarkably lean - with fewer than 25 percent of the calories coming from fat. Enjoy it in place of the usual buttered white rice or mashed potatoes you might usually ser ve, and you’re already on your way to a healthier diet.

The dish is remarkably f lexible, too. I often like to top it with grilled seafood, poultry or lean meat for a one-dish meal. You could add or substitute other hardy vegetables you like for those included in the pilaf here; and replace some or all of the water with vegetable stock or chicken stock to give the farro even more f lavor. Add different herbs or spices you prefer. And I like to use

leftovers, or an extra batch I cook at the same time, to serve cold as a salad, drizzling a low-fat dressing on top.

I hope you’ll feel inspired to make this healthy recipe one of your own. Who knows? It could become the start of a whole new healthy way of eating.

FARRO AND ROOT VEGETABLE PILAF Serves 4 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more if serving the pilaf cold 1 large organic carrot, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice 1 large organic celery stalk, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice 1 medium yellow onion, cut into 1/4inch (6-mm) dice 1 small fennel bulb, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice 1 garlic clove, finely chopped (optional) 1/2 pound (250 g) uncooked far ro, about 1 1/4 cups (310 mL) 2 quarts (2 L) water Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley, or julienned fresh basil leaves, or other leafy greens In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

When it is hot enough to swirl easily and shimmers slightly, add the diced carrot, celery, onion and fennel.

Saute until the vegetables are tender-crisp and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes, taking care to stir frequently and adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent the vegetables from scorching before they’re done. If you like, stir in the garlic just until fragrant.

Add the farro to the pan and stir until it is lightly toasted, darkening slightly in color and giving off a nutty fragrance, about 1 minute. Add the water, season lightly to taste with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to very low, cover the pan, and simmer gently until the farro is tender but still slightly chewy, about 25 minutes.

Pour the farro-and-vegetable mixture into a fine-meshed strainer to drain off any excess liquid. Return the pilaf to the pot, cover, and keep warm until serving time.

To serve, taste and adjust the seasonings, if necessary, with a little more salt and pepper. Transfer it to a heated bowl. Garnish with the fresh herbs or greens and serve immediately.
