Bridge Repair, Replacement Planned Near Airpark

WH E R E I S Z E B B ’S BRIDGE?

From Your Government Officials

By Judy Smestad-Nunn OCEAN COUNTY – On the evening of May 6, 1937, hundreds if not thousands of spectators gathered at the Naval Air Station in Lakehurst to watch the docking of the LZ-129 Hindenburg, an 803-foot-long airship that offered the most luxurious air travel the world had ever seen.

At the time, the railroad ran special excursion trains from Jersey City to watch the airships dock, said Kevin Pace, a trustee and the immediate past president of the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society.

“Lakehurst was the airship capital of the

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The Ocean County Freeholders have committed to replacing Zebb’s Bridge, which begs the question: Where is Zebb’s Bridge?

It is actually one of several bridges throughout the county that are so small, motorists probably drive over them (Bridge - See Page 5)

Lakewood BlueClaws Gear Up For 2017 Season

By Chris Lundy LAKEWOOD – Now in their 17th year, the Lakewood BlueClaws are growing, adding new teammates and new entertainment and food options for patrons, officials said.

The team, a minor league affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies, is headquartered out of First

Energy Park in Lakewood.

The opening game of the season kicked off on April 13. They were up against the Greensboro Grasshoppers, which are affiliated with the Miami Marlins.

Ultimately, the local team lost 2-0, but the crowd had a good time, the team spokesman said. The

fans really do get into the game here.

It was a good crowd, about 6,870 people. A few different factors went into making it the biggest opening night since 2009. The most important factor was the weather. As spring has finally been breaking through the winter weather, (BlueClaws - See Page 5)

Tourism:

Continued From Page 1 world, and watching an airship dock was a very big thing of interest, like in modern day when people would go to Cape Canaveral for a launch. There would be concessions stands set up, and huge crowds. It was a big event,” he said.

Many have seen the footage from that night, which was the first disaster captured on motion picture film: as it maneuvered, the Hindenburg’s forward and aft engines idled while the forward landing line was lowered and water ballast was dropped to lighten the craft.

The line descended toward members of the ground crew - sailors and civilians employed under the federal Works Progress Administration, who waited to connect it to mooring cables. There were 139 civilians being paid $1 an hour to help the Navy crews with the landing lines.

At 7:25 p.m. the Hindenburg caught fire and quickly became engulfed in flames. Eyewitnesses said that the tail section went down and the nose went up as the flames consumed the gas. Fire rushed out of the airship’s nose like a blowtorch. The airship burst into flames and

crashed to the ground within 70 seconds.

The engines were still idling as the front passengers and crew members were jumping from the Hindenburg, some 200-300 feet above the ground. Others simply fell through the burned airship.

The Hindenburg had room for 70 passengers, but it was only carrying 36 during the crash.

Of those, 13 died along with 22 of the 61 crew members, plus one person on the ground. Its commander, Captain Max Pruss, survived.

Director of Ocean County Business Development and Tourism Dana Lancellotti said that when she holds out-of-town promotional events, they promote the historical event and “people make a beeline for our table, and the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society brochure is very popular.”

“We feature the airship on our website, and we promote the anniversary as part of our tourism promotion,” Lancellotti said. “It’s an interesting part of our history and not your typical type of tourism event.”

That’s true, said Pace. There is still a lot of interest in the event, and while the public isn’t allowed to gather at the site because of security concerns at the air base, that’s not to say the tragedy has been forgotten.

An annual wreath-laying memorial ceremony is planned for May 6 for dignitaries, military personnel and others who had registered for the service.

A sold-out 80th Anniversary Memorial Dinner is planned for the Clarion Hotel in Toms River for May 5 when 220 attendees will hear two people who flew on the Hindenburg in past flights as featured speakers.

On April 30, a PowerPoint program presented by the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society, “Remembering The Hindenburg 80 Years Later” is planned for Jakes Branch County Park, along with the rededication of a 20-foot mural of the Hindenburg that had previously hung in the McDonald’s in Lakehurst. The artist, Cathleen Englesen, will be on hand to discuss the mural, which is permanently housed in the nature center there.

The Heritage Center Museum is located on the base and has an airship display spanning the years of 1921 to 1962, said Pace, who is the curator of the airship display. Approximately 4,500 visitors toured the museum last year.

Some tourists visit the museum and base because of the Hindenburg disaster, but many come to see the museum’s large display on Vietnam POWs, he said.

“We have a lot of Vietnam veterans passing through, and pilots, flight crews and others who were associated with Lakehurst and are taking a sentimental look back,” he said. “Some tell us stories. They bring and donate artifacts, and because of that we have a tremendous amount of model ships and aircraft.”

Tours are available of the base and the Heritage Center Museum by registering two weeks in advance at nlhs.com, and they are conducted on the second Saturday of the month in the winter and on the second and fourth Saturdays during the summer.

The Ocean County Historical Society in Toms River has a permanent Hindenburg display, including artifacts from the airship and more.

Airships, although not the Hindenburg, have graced the town of Lakehurst in various ways, helping to forge the town’s identity. An airship insignia appears on signs welcoming people to the borough of Lakehurst. It also appears on the sides of Lakehurst police cars, letterheads, and - before the paint wore off and cell phone antennas were installed - on the Lakehurst water tower.

Also, there used to be an Airship Tavern in Lakehurst. Airship Storage is still in business, and a Lakehurst motel still uses the image of an airship of their sign.

The only nod to the Hindenburg disaster were uniform patches once used by the Lakehurst volunteer fire department that showed the airship in flames since they responded to the fire 80 years ago, Pace said.

On the other side of the Atlantic, the airships are also a tourism destination.

“In Friedrichshafen, Germany there is a big tourist attraction. It’s major. That’s where airship tourism is. The Zeppelin Company is headquartered there and it’s still in existence.

It never closed,” Pace said.

Airship aficionados visit the Zeppelin Museum on the top floor of the Friedrichshafen Town Hall where they have built a replica of sections of the Hindenburg, including passenger compartments and the dining room. The museum also has some remains of the Hindenburg - the nose cone, a propeller, engine and pieces of scorched girders.

There were hundreds of dirigibles taking off and landing at Lakehurst, starting in 1923 with American Navy airships. The first passenger-carrying airship was the Graf Zeppelin, the Hindenburg’s sister ship, which landed in Lakehurst several times between 1928-1930.

Then there was a six year gap until the 10 landings of the Hindenburg in 1936. The 1937 disaster was the first passenger-carrying flight of that year, and a total of 18 were scheduled, Pace said.

“It’s a business that’s fading away. There are only one or two companies in the world that still make dirigibles,” Pace said. “Zeppelin is strictly a branding company. Zeppelins are only built by the Zeppelin company.”

The rigid frame airships were the pride of the German aircraft industry. Travel in Zeppelins had begun in 1928 and was trendy and expensive: a one-way ticket on the Hindenburg cost about the same as the average annual salary of a German at the time. The other regular Zeppelin route was between Frankfurt and Rio de Janeiro, which cost even more.

According to Airships Magazine, the Hindenburg cruised at about 80 miles per hour, much faster than ships at sea without the discomfort (Tourism - See Page 5)

Travel time between Lakehurst and the European terminal at Frankfurt-Am-Mein averaged 52 hours eastbound and 65 hours westbound, propelled by four 1,000 horsepower Daimler-Benz diesel engines.

The Hindenburg was gigantic, some 800 feet

Bridge:

Continued From Page 1 without realizing they are bridges. This particular one is on Route 530 near the Robert J. Miller Airpark. The waterway it spans is so narrow that drivers most likely don’t even see it. The only evidence that it is a bridge is that this section of the roadway has a guardrail.

At their April 5 meeting, the Freeholders passed a resolution adopting a grant application for the replacement of the bridge.

The actual replacement will not begin until 2018, but some work could not wait. In midApril, a county work crew was repairing the timber wall. Even though it will be replaced, the bridge needs to continue to be maintained in order for it to be safe until its replacement, county sources said.

“This is a heavily traveled road and we need to move forward with plans to replace this bridge due to its aging timber substructure,” Freeholder John Kelly said in a press release.

The county’s first steps in the replacement

The Berkeley Times, April 22, 2017, Page 5 long and 10 stories high with the swastikas of Hitler’s Germany painted on the tail fins.

Seven million cubic feet of highly flammable hydrogen was divided into 16 huge lifting cells above passengers’ heads that was used to lift the airship.

The airship was supposed to be the first of 40 to 50 Zeppelins to be built by 1947, but its destruction marked the end of “silver whales” in commercial aviation and was the symbolic finale of an era.

are to apply for state funding and hire a design consultant. Then, there is a permit process to go through. The project is part of a grant application and agreement with the New Jersey Department of Transportation requesting allocation for bridge replacement projects to help with the estimated $1 million cost.

The bridge’s 15-foot span will be replaced.

It’s a 30-foot wide roadway with no sidewalks. After the work is done, there will be a total width of 40 feet, including two 12-footwide lanes and two 8-foot-wide shoulders.

The current bridge has a lot of timber elements, which are now breaking down with age. The replacement will have more sturdy ingredients, such as concrete and steel.

The work will also include the reconstruction of immediate sections of the roadway leading to the bridge and upgrade of the guide rail.

A temporary traffic signal system will be installed to facilitate staged construction so that people can still drive through the area.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER The Burning Of Our Flag What is going on in our country? To protest is one thing, but to burn our f lag is a sin.

From 1776, men and women have given up their lives to protect the f lag. The f lag is a symbol of what makes our country great. I do believe in all our freedoms, but to disrespect the f lag is in a category of its own. To burn the f lag is a disrespect for our country.

The f lag is more than a piece of cloth with stars and stripes. It is almost the foundation of our nation. We have fought many wars to p r ot e c t ou r c ou nt r y and our f lag, and we will go on protecting the homeland and the f lag. W h at r ig ht do these people have to

destroy the f lag? Have they no love of country and the f lag? What is it they do respect?

These are the people who would never spill a drop of blood to protect what is so dear to us.

People have the right to protest within the l aw. Eve n t h o u g h it may be legal to bur n the f lag, it is wrong. It is a slap in the face to every American. Yes, we have our freedoms, but no one should abuse the rights we have been given.

I have great love for ou r cou nt r y a nd ou r f lag. Let us pass a law that forbids the burni ng of the f lag. It is our duty to protect our f lag.

Imagine All The People I’d like to share a simple solution for the unsettling over-development that is happening all over Brick Township and other parts of Ocean County. The concept is grassroots democracy: decisions are made by people who are affected by them.

Policy should be created, approved and implemented by the people it affects. For example if a developer proposes a Wawa on the corner near the busy, populated Lake Riviera neighborhood, it’s my belief that the people living in the neighborhood who will be affected by this development should decide whether or not to rezone the property and allow it. Why should unelected, well-connected, political appointments make this decision?

I don’t see any legitimate reason why local zoning decisions can’t be made on a grassroots level, democratically, by the people who will be affected most, not by political appointees with very little at stake.

Imagine if these decisions could be made by the people affected. Imagine.

Maybe this is an idealist, utopian vision of a society in which everyone has a say, a voice, and some power, but this is what Greens in NJ and across the US are fighting for. Maybe I’m a dreamer. I hope I’m not the only one.

Letters The religiousEditor needs of the tiative to best determine Volunteers’To the Kindness May Save Lives On Saturday, April 1, the American Red Cross in conjunction with the Whiting Fire Department and many volunteers came through Pine Ridge at Crestwood and replaced or provided smoke alarm batteries. If that wonderful act of kindness saves one mobile home from going up in smoke, it will have been a deed surely worth doing.

I am so appreciative of the youth that came to my door and realized I did not have a smoke alarm either in my bedroom or my second bedroom and the one next to my bedroom was dead so I was given three new smoke alarms in addition to replacing one battery in another area.

These are volunteers who go all over the state of New Jersey and enlist the local fire departments to assist them. Hats off to you all.

And, this is no April Fool’s joke!

children and the possibility of establishing a church in Cassville. Through his efforts, the Cassville fi re house was rented for the children once a week by Trenton-based nuns. The Eucharist was fi rst offered on November 3, 1952, in the Cassville fire house.

Around the same time, the area saw an influx of Hispanics, and the Claretian leaders from Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Perth Amboy established a mission. Masses were held in a chicken coop on a property located on West Veteran’s Highway.

On August 25, 1991, the parish was renamed St. Monica Mission. The diocese ended St. Monica’s status as a mission parish in October 2001 and restored the original name of the church making it a stand-alone parish within the diocese.

The mission of St. Monica located at 679 West Veteran’s Hwy, Route 528 is to teach the message of Christ and provide outreach for the needy in the par ish and com munit y.

Teaching the message of Ch r ist is accomplished by rea ch i ng out to al l within the com munit y: young and old, Catholic and non-Catholic through example and through the ef for t s of t he va r iou s parish organizations. St. Monica’s reaches out to meet the needs of the community spiritually, adult and children’s religious education, sacramental preparation, assistance to needy, bereavement counseling and ministering to homebou nd. Act iv it ies include food drives, holiday food baskets for needy families, AA and cooked meals for the sick. Jackson, the largest municipality in Ocean County is 100.6 square miles, a huge area and responsibility for one parish to support spiritually and servicing the needy.

Last year the Diocese of Trenton initiated the Faith in Our Future (FIOF) ini-

the future realities facing the Diocese and the Catholic Church. These issues include the decline in the number of Catholics, as well as the dwindling resources that will be available due to the number of priests that will reach retirement age in the next 8-10 years and fewer men who are pursuing priestly vocations. Additionally, fewer pa r ish ioners a re par ticipating in weekly Mass, the sacraments and collections are down. The preliminary recommendation of the Diocesan Planning Commission was for a merger of the two Catholic parishes in Jackson.

The FIOF core group of St. Monica’s held a town meeting to solicit the input of its parishioners to assist them in preparing a final response to the preliminary recommendation. The final response was submitted to the Diocese in October 2016 and in January the bishop announced all his decisions for the Diocese. As a result, St. Monica would remain unchanged and its status would be periodically reviewed going forward.

Part of this rationale is that St. Monica’s, under the guidance and direction of Fr. Alex Enriquez and Deacons Mike Principato, Christian K noebel, and Gene Moir, has been the exception. Since July 1, 2013, the Parish has been growing while maintaining fi nancial stability.

With the immediate future of St Monica clarified, the clergy, staff and parishioners are proactively developing a plan titled “St. Monica Vision 2020” focu si ng on t he longer-term development of goals and objectives that will be required to keep St. Monica’s a Jackson fi xture for years to come.

Ocean County Officials: We Are Not A Sanctuary County

TOMS RIVER – Noting that Ocean County works closely and cooperatively with the U.S. Immigration a nd C u stom s En force ment Division of Homeland Security, County officials again reiterated the County is not a “sanctuary county.”

“We are not a sanctuary cou nt y, nor has Ocean County ever had an interest in being a sanctuary county,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, Director of Law and Public Safety. “We have been actively working to correct the record and have Ocean County’s name removed from whatever lists are out there calling us a sanctuary county.

“ICE has taken steps to memorialize this in-

formation (March 31) by removing Ocean County’s name from its declined detainer outcome report list of sanctuary counties and cities,” Kelly added.

In an email sent to Ocean County Jail Warden Sandra Mueller on March 30, an ICE official wrote: “I want to thank you again for the continued cooperation between the Ocean County Department of Corrections and ICE… I have submitted your updated policy rega rdi ng I m m ig rat ion Detainers dated July 28, 2015 to the depar tment responsible for Declined Detainer Outcome Report and have explained that Ocean County works very closely and cooperatively with ICE.” Shortly after the email,

O c e a n C ou nt y’s n a me was no longer listed on the ICE declined detainer outcome report, ice.gov/ declined- detainer- outcome-report accurately reflecting its status.

“A top priority for Ocean County is to make certain our citizens and visitors are safe here,” said Ocean Cou nt y Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari.

“We work with Homeland Security and law enforcement i n a pa r t nersh ip.

Our current inmate policy makes certain individuals like gang members here illegally who pose a significant threat to public safety are kept off of our streets and are given over to the proper authorities.”

Ocean County’s 48 Hour Immigration Detainer Pol-

icy was crafted on July 28, 2015 by Jail Warden Mueller. This was done to cooperate with the intention of detainer requests by ICE under the Priority Enforcement Program (PEP).

This policy was jointly developed with ICE. Under the policy Ocean County would maintain custody, not to exceed 48 hours, of a removable alien who has been identified as an immigration enforcement pr ior it y u nder the Pr iority Enforcement Program and that probable cause existed that these individuals are removable aliens. Earlier detainment procedures were not this specific and had not been created in partnership with ICE which appears to have resulted in the county be-

ing viewed as a sanctuary county.

Kelly noted another example of Ocean County’s cooperation with ICE is the assignment of an ICE officer to the Ocean County Department of Corrections to review all new commitments for possible ICE enforcement action.

Kelly said that under the Priority Enforcement Program, the DHS is enabled to work with state and local law enforcement to take custody of individuals who pose a danger to public safety before those individuals are released into our communities.

“Our detainer procedures went through some changes until we got together with ICE and hashed out a policy acceptable to all of

us,” Kelly said.

Despite the revisions made by the County in coope r at ion w it h ICE , starting in the fall of 2015, t he C ou nt y b eg a n b e ing identified on certain web sites as a Sanctuary City, even though its 2015 inmate policy had been developed in conjunction with ICE. “Clearly we work cooperatively with ICE,” Kelly said. “We will continue to reach out to those agencies that list us incorrectly and also let them know we are not on the ICE declined detainer outcome report.”

Those agencies include the ACLU, the Center for Immigration Studies and the Immigrant Legal Resource Center and some media outlets.

From The Desk Of Congressman Tom MacArthur: Congressman MacArthur Calls On State Leaders To Pass Addiction Recovery Legislation Congressman Tom MacArthur NEW JERSEY – On April 11, Congressman MacArthur wrote a letter to Governor Christie and other leaders

in Trenton urging them to create a fair and well-crafted involuntary commitment process for those struggling with substance abuse.

“As a co-chair of the Congressional Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, I’m committed to working with my colleagues to find effective ways to treat

the addiction crisis across the country and in my home state,” said Congressman Tom MacArthur. “One important problem that needs to be addressed is the difficultly of treating people who are not capable of seeking or choosing the help they desperately need. Parents, like

Lisa and Bill Vandegrift, try everything to save their child’s life, but find that someone suffering from addiction often cannot choose to seek the help they need. I’m urging Governor Christie and our state government leaders to develop a careful and fair involuntary commitment process for those

struggling with substance abuse so they can get the help they need.”

Lisa Vandegrift of Pemberton Township said, “When I reached out to Congressman MacArthur he immediately sat down with my family and me to discuss our ideas to help those who are struggling with

addiction. Once my daughter Sabrina passed, I decided to turn my grief into an effort to help families avoid the pain of losing a child. This legislation will save lives the day it is signed and I stand with Congressman MacArthur in calling on our leaders in Trenton to get it done.”

BERKELEY – Philadelphia photographer Rachelle Lee Smith provided an overview of her photo essay book “Speaking Out: Queer Youth In Focus” during a March 30 program at the Berkeley Branch of the Ocean County Library.

Smith’s photographs have been on display at the branch’s meeting room, and through a PowerPoint presentation and discussion, she showcased her decade long project. “I wanted the subjects to tell their own story in their own way so they got the opportunity to pick out their own shots,” Smith said.

The book was shot with a film camera and the portraits were taken in front of a blank white background that acts as the blank canvas for the subjects to talk about themselves, their sexual orientation and gender identity issues. “I wanted it to help create empathy. I came out when I was a teenager and I didn’t really have any role models in the media, so I wanted to share the stories for others” Smith said.

“When I was in college my world widened and I met people with a variety of experiences.

I very vividly recall the moment that, in a way,

is the catalyst for this work when a friend called me hysterical because people were throwing bottles at her and screaming at her for being gay.

I wanted to do something positive but also show the negative as well, and everything in between.

At first I felt my voice was small, that it wasn’t strong but when I got behind my camera, it was like a superhero mask and I felt I could do things I otherwise couldn’t. Through photography I was able to get closer to people, invade their personal space but not in a creepy way and it allowed me to learn from others and know about other perspectives and, in turn, be more active politically.”

The photographer said that she does keep in touch with some of the people who were subjects for the book. “It is fun to reconnect and see how they have changed and how the attitude in the world has changed over the years since the photos were first taken.”

Smith’s book can be ordered by emailing SpeakingOut@rachelleleesmith.com or purchased at your local bookstore.

Food Error At McDonald’s Leads To Assault, Multiple Injuries

BERKELEY – On April 9 at 11:33 p.m., Berkeley Township Police Dispatch received a call from an employee at McDonald’s advising that two males were complaining about their food and then assaulted his manager. Ptl. Heffernan, Ptl. Kappock, Ptl. Wahl and Sgt. Allison Wray responded to the scene.

Upon arrival, the McDonald’s manager, a 19-year-old, advised that two males walked up to the drive through window after ordering their food and began to bang on the window, complaining that their order was incorrect. The manager said he asked the males if they could return the next day to be credited for the error, since the restaurant was now closed. At this point, one of the males threw his bag of food in his face and grabbed the manager, who said he was punched in the face while trying to close the drive through window and got his hand slammed in the

window and could not move it.

A second 21-year-old McDonalds employee advised that he ran out of the side door to the store near where the subjects were parked in order to confront them. When approaching one of the males, the subject pulled out a knife and a struggle ensued.

As a result, that employee sustained a wrist laceration.

Both subjects were transported to Community Medical Center for treatment. The McDonald’s manager sustained a possible broken wrist and the second employee received stitches.

Det. Michael Tier responded to process the scene and continue the investigation.

At this time, this investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Berkeley Township Tip Line at 732-3411132, ext. 611. Tips can be anonymous.

PUT DOWN YOUR READING GLASSES

If you’re tired of using reading glasses, there are two FDA-approved “corneal inlays” that can be implanted just below the surface of one eye. The Kamra inlay by Acufocus and the Raindrop Near Vision Inlay by ReVision work best for individuals with otherwise healthy eyes and good distance vision. The Kamra is a tiny plastic, permeable, opaque ring that is less than a quarter of the size of an ordinary contact lens. It improves near vision by blocking peripheral light rays while allowing central rays to pass through.

The Raindrop is an exceedingly thin, small, clear disc that is composed of hydrogel, which works by changing the shape of the cornea to focus light before it reaches the eye lens.

Regular eye exams are an invaluable tool in maintaining healthy eyes by detecting and preventing disease in both adults and children. Some diseases develop slowly without causing pain or vision loss. Early detection of any problems can reduce the risk of further harm and allow for a choice of treatment options. To schedule an appointment, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., at 732-349-5622.

Documentary Film Highlights The Hijab

JACKSON – In commemoration of the Islamic month of Ramadan, the Ocean County Library is pleased to present a documentary film titled “Under One Sky: Arab Women in North American Talk about the Hijab” on June 12 at 7 p.m.

Is the hijab—the veil associated with Muslim women—a symbol of oppression, an emblem of cultural identity, a combination of these two elements, or something else altogether? Arab women living in North America explain the ideologies behind the veil, as they tear away the labels imposed by both East and West.

The film is available through the Ocean County Library database Access Video on Demand and runtime is 44 minutes. After the film is a Q&A with Mariam Jalabi, Director, Syrian National Coalition, United Nations.

This program is sponsored by the Ocean County Library Cultural Awareness Team and will take place at the Ocean County Library Jackson Branch, 2 Jackson Drive.

This program is free and open to the public and registration is now open. Please register in-person, by phone at 732-928-4400 or online at theoceancountylibrary.org under Calendar of Events.

Vax-D Spinal Decompression Allows Back Pain to Heal…NATURALLY Many back pain conditions that we see can be helped by our state of the art Vax-D decompression table. Decompression relieves pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression achieves this by creating negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative intra-discal pressure. This creates essentially a vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc material back into the disc space and relieves pressure. This process of non-surgical decompression allows the body to heal itself naturally. Vax-D decompression tables have been successfully operating for over 15 years throughout the world and more than 3,000 patients a day receive this treatment in the U.S. alone. Vax-D is one of the FDAcleared technologies available at Northeast Spine and

“We are so confident that you will find healing and relief at our office, we will personally evaluate your condition and determine if we can help you. It’s that simple! We have opened our schedule to accept new patients, but due to demand, we are only extending this offer to the first 30 callers. Time slots fill quickly, so call today to secure your appointment.”

Alzheimer’s And Hearing Loss: Early Detection May Alleviate Symptoms

According to a study attributed to the Alzheimer’s Association (AA), in conjunction with the Better Hearing Institute (BHI), strong evidence suggests that hearing impairment contributes to the progression of mental impairment in older adults.

What is Alzheimer’s? Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive and fatal brain disease that affects behavior, cognition and memory loss in over 26 million people worldwide.

Alzheimer’s is typically diagnosed in individuals age 65 and older. The number of those affected is expected to rapidly increase as our nation’s aging population explodes over the next 30 years. When hearing loss or impairment goes undetected, it can interrupt the brain’s understanding of spoken language and sounds. When someone is experiencing both Alzheimer’s and hearing loss symptoms, their ability to understand can sharply decrease. If their hearing issues were diagnosed and treated earlier, the means of successfully managing the disease increase.

The BHI’s research has discovered that people with Alzheimer’s who regularly wear hearing devices in combination with a consistently practiced aural retraining therapy program are able to diminish the wide range of Alzheimer’s symptoms. If you are concerned that you or a loved one might

be experiencing the early warning signs of Alzheimer’s, it is recommended that you maintain your regular hearing evaluations.

Working with your hearing health care professional to detect these warning signs as early as possible is a critical first step in confirming an accurate diagnosis and creating an effective long-term plan of treatment for Alzheimer’s and hearing loss.

Ten Signs To Watch Out For The Alzheimer’s Early Detection Alliance (AEDA) campaign, “Know The Ten Signs: Early Detection Matters,” is working to identify the early signs of Alzheimer’s. According to the AEDA, the 10 signs to watch for include: 1. Memory changes that disrupt daily life 2. Challenges in planning or solving problems 3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks 4. Confusion with time or place 5. Trouble understanding visual images and spacial relationship 6. New problems with words in speaking or writing 7. Misplacing things and losing ability to retrace steps 8. Decreased or poor judgment 9. Withdrawal from work or social activities 10. Changes in mood or personality

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. Expanded Whiting Hours!

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

How People Die from Nerve Gas

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

When the news broke of the chemical attack on Syrian civilians and babies, we were all disturbed and shocked that a weapon of mass destruction was unleashed. Sarin is its name and it’s 26 times more potent than cyanide.

Being a curious sort, I looked it up to see what the mechanism of action was, as well as the antidote to Sarin. With radiation, research supports greens (dulse, chlorella, spirulina, etc.) or perhaps some iodine supplements. None of that works for Sarin though.

I did something I shouldn’t have. People who are empathetic should not be allowed to google images of such an attack! I can’t unsee the damage done by Sarin and other nerve agents. Ugh. This neurotoxin was outlawed in the 1990’s. It’s in the same Schedule 1 category like LSD, heroin, marijuana, GHB and Ecstasy. It doesn’t work like those, it’s just categorized with them.

Sarin blocks an enzyme in the human body called acetylcholinesterase (ACHE) that normally breaks down your memory neurotransmitter called “acetylcholine.” So some ACHE is good, as it supports learning and memory. In fact, memory supplements always put ingredients in their formula to gently block ACHE, so again, a bit more acetylcholine is fine. Too much will kill you.

Sarin shuts down ACHE completely, so acetylcholine levels skyrocket within minutes. This is the same mechanism of action that bug spray and malathion utilizes.

Most insecticides block ACHE, so Sarin is essentially just human insecticide. If you walk by it and inhale it, you wouldn’t even know because you can’t see it or smell

it. Death occurs within 5 or 10 minutes.

But how you wonder? When acetylcholine increases, your muscles cramp. Like most pesticide poisonings, SLUDGE occurs which stands for: Salivation, Lacrimation, Urination, Defecation, Gastrointestinal distress, then Emesis (vomiting). Twitching and jerking occurs, then the lungs cramp, paralyzing the airways. It’s death by chemical asphyxiation.

Hosing off the children with water reduces skin exposure slightly. I still see those images from the news of babies being hosed off and thrown into a truck. The watering down of people will certainly dilute the poison and possibly prolong life, but then you have to ask yourself, what kind of life will that person now lead? Neurological consequences cannot be healed.

A total recovery is possible if exposure is low, not a lethal dose., and mainly, if recognition occurs. Remember Sarin (and many nerve gases) are completely colorless and odorless, and you could walk right past someone who had a little on their clothes 30 minutes ago, and it will poison you.

Survival requires the antidote which is usually atropine (but sometimes pralidoxime).

These are drugs classified as “anticholinergics.” Atropine is a drug in the U.S. used to treat pesticide poisoning, tachycardia, overactive bladder and pupil dilation (yes, it comes as an eye drop). FYI, many herbs and over-the-counter medications have similar, but weaker anticholinergic properties. So now you’re better informed as you watch the news, and here’s hoping we never face that kind of brutality in our country. May those who perished rest in peace.

Fast Food, Free Coffee And Dawdling Seniors A Bad Mix

Dear Joel, There are some seniors out there who give seniors a bad name. I recently met some friends for breakfast at McDonald’s. I left after finishing my breakfast and coffee and found out that the group had stayed there till after 2 p.m.! That’s four hours of sitting around, drinking free refills of coffee. We seniors appreciate the courtesy that some places offer us, but there are some who abuse those privileges and make us seem like cheap pests. I’d like your opinion.

Shamed senior in Absecon Dear Shamed, Good for you! You’re right, no one should abuse the courtesies they’re offered. There are many places that are happy to offer special pricing and accommodations to seniors, but you can’t blame their patience for wearing thin.

There are lots of great alternatives to hanging around a restaurant all day.

LOCATED AT:

If the group doesn’t want to meet in a home, does your town have a senior center or community hall? Libraries have great meeting rooms and activities, even free movies on certain days.

It would also be nice if the ladies got together to do some volunteer work, like visiting other seniors, or making up goodie bags for soldiers. The group could also participate in gardening clubs, historic societies, or a whole slew of other hobby driven activities.

Why not suggest some?

You could also invite the ladies over to your home with a strict time limit of two hours. Maybe they’ll learn that less is more and that being retired doesn’t have to be a recipe for stagnation.

Lakehurst Historical Museum Keeps Hindenburg History Alive

By Jennifer Peacock LAKEHUST – The display occupies an area under the stained-glass window in memory of Thomas and Catherine Whalen and Family. It’s one lighted case beneath that window, a case that can’t be opened to examine the items inside, and table filled with books to the right of the case. There are photographs and newspaper clippings pinned to the walls and sitting on the windowsill. On the northern side of the building, there are newspaper clippings, some from papers that no longer exist. It’s a small part of the Lakehurst Historical Society’s museum, which occupies the Old St. John’s Church, itself Ocean County’s oldest Roman Catholic Church. But the Hindenburg remains a giant in the borough’s history.

“You go anywhere and mention that you’re from Lakehurst, so many people associate that with the Hindenburg,” historical society volunteer Aurora Semple said. But, she added, “The Hindenburg isn’t [the historical society’s] main concern. Lakehurst has been around since Revolutionary times.”

Semple and her fellow volunteers – on this Wednesday, Barbara Cummings and Bernadette Werthwein – said the museum would likely see a bump in visitors with the 80th anniversary of the Hindenburg tragedy approaching.

On May 3, 1937, the Hindenburg left Frankfurt, Germany, and made its threeday journey across the Atlantic to Lakehurst, carrying 36 passengers and 61 crew members. An advertisement discovered by

Cummings revealed the price for that transatlantic trip was $400, about $7,000 per ticket in today’s dollars.

Waiting for storms to clear from the area, the Hindenburg made its final approach to Lakehurst around 7 p.m. on May 6. Eyewitness accounts have always varied, but about 25 minutes after arriving, the dirigible – the largest ever built – burst into flames, crashing to the ground in less than a minute. Thirteen passengers, 22 crewmen, and one civilian ground crewman, Allen Hagaman, died.

The crash is well documented in photographs, on-location movies, and Chicago broadcaster Herbert Morrison’s now-legend a r y radio com ment a r y, which wasn’t broadcast live and is known for his desperate –Photos by Jennifer Peacock utterance, “oh, the humanity…”

Artifacts on display at the Lakehurst Historical Society.

Check Your Auto Insurance Policy For Verbal Threshold

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

Under New Jersey law, a person who simply fails to indicate their insurance preference is automatically assigned the Verbal Threshold limitation on lawsuits. This limitation severely affects an injured person’s abilit y to seek just compensation for injuries resulting from an auto accident. In fact, under the holding of Oswin v Shaw, a plaintiff who elects Verbal Threshold is required to demonst rate, without regard to medical expenses, that his injury fits within one of the recognized categories under the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act, or “AICRA” for short.

Under AICRA, the law states that, damages for non-economic losses must stem from bodily injury arising from the use, ownership, operation or maintenance of an automobile in New Jersey that results from one of the following: (1) death; (2) dismemberment; (3) significant disfigurement of scarring; (4) displacement fractures; (5) loss of a fetus; (6) a permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical probability.

Further, a person who elects Verbal Threshold must also satisfy the tort option provisions contained within New Jersey Statute 39:6A-8(a). This statute indicates that, by law, an in-

Robert C. Shea Esq.

Christopher R. Shea Esq.

ju red plaintiff must submit a physician’s cer tif ication. T his certification requires a doctor to state, b a s e d o n o bje c t ive clinical evidence and under penalty of perjury, that the injured plaintiff has sustained an injury that is included in one of the above six statutory categories.

As you can imagine, selection of the Verbal Threshold policy will vastly affect an injured person’s ability to recover for a wrongly sustained injury. Therefore, protect your rights and the rights of those covered under your policy by reviewing your policy today!

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of April22 - April 28

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21- Apr. 19): Grab the bull by the horns. Your strong leadership abilities and quick-thinking can help turn difficult situations into something resoundingly positive this week.

Your charisma and confidence will attract others to join your cause.

TAURUS (Apr. 20- May 20): If you rest, you could rust. Flex those muscles by keeping busy and active or you may find yourself with little energy to face the week ahead. Accept invitations to get out and about as lounging about the house will do you little good.

GEMINI (May 21- June 20): Avoid pouring it on too thick. Being overly complimentary or polite could backfire as recipients may doubt your sincerity. No one will question your intentions if you demonstrate them through actions rather than words.

CANCER (June 21- July 22): Choose the path of least resistance. There’s nothing to be gained by doing things the hard way so don’t hesitate to take short-cuts to get the job done. The simplest solutions are the ones that work best in the week to come.

LEO (July 23- Aug. 22): Take everything in moderation. It may be a case of doing too much or not enough. The happy medium will make things work as this week unfolds. Don’t press the issue with relationship matters as you may meet resistance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23- Sept. 22): Rise to the challenge. It may take a bit of extra effort to overcome an obstacle this week but the satisfaction you get from completing a task will make it all well worth it. Don’t back down if someone questions your integrity or principles.

LIBRA (Sept. 23- Oct. 22.): If you snooze, you lose. A wait and see approach will get you nowhere, the only way that you’ll make any progress this week is if you get out there and make things happen. Follow your instincts to make important decisions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23- Nov. 21): Play your pipes and others will follow. Those around you will be more than willing to let you take the lead no matter where you choose to take them. As you make progress this week, an old problem from the past may briefly resurface.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22- Dec. 21): Read between the lines. It may be difficult to understand a loved one’s intentions unless you delve beneath the front that they’re putting up. Be patient and talk things out without being overly pushy in the week ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 19): Get out and meet people. Strike up conversations with new acquaintances to pave the way for future friendships in the week to come. Listening to how a loved one talks with others may shed some insight into their character.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb. 18): You don’t have to give until it hurts. Efforts to please a loved one may have you stretching your budget rather thin, so keep things from getting out of hand this week. Remember that the best things in life are free.

PISCES (Feb. 19- Mar. 20): If you want to get anything done do it yourself. Your agenda only matters to you so don’t rely on others to share your enthusiasm as the week unfolds. Matters involving family and close friends provide a welcome distraction.

On The Hunt:Try Putting All Your Eggs In One (Souffle) Basket

By Wolfgang Puck

LOW-FAT CHOCOLATE SOUFFLÉS WITH ORANGE MARMALADE Serves 8

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature 2 tablespoons sugar 4 ounces (125 g) bittersweet chocolate, cut into small pieces, or bittersweet chocolate chips 2 large cage-free eggs, separated 2 tablespoons orange liqueur 5 large cage-free egg whites Juice of 1/2 lemon 1/2 cup (125 mL) fine-shred orange marmalade 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar, for dusting Preheat the oven to 425 F (220 C).

With the butter, coat eight 1/2-cup (125-mL) ramekins or souffle dishes. Lightly dust them with about 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Place them on a baking sheet and refrigerate until needed.

Melt the chocolate in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Remove from the heat and quickly stir in the egg yolks and liqueur.

In a clean bowl, beat the seven egg whites with a hand mixer on medium speed until they form soft peaks that droop slightly when you lift out the beaters. Beat in the lemon juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.

Continue to beat the egg whites until they are stiff, holding peaks that stand upright when the beaters are lifted out but are still very shiny. With a rubber spatula, gently fold one-quarter of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, and then gently fold that mixture back into the remaining beaten egg whites.

Use the spatula to distribute the souffle mixture evenly among the ramekins, handling it gently.

Run your thumb around the inside edge of each ramekin to help the souffles form “hats” as they rise. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the middles are still just a little soft.

While the souffles are baking, gently warm the marmalade in a small saucepan over low heat.

When the souffles are done, transfer each ramekin to a dessert plate. Spoon a little confectioners’ sugar into a fine-meshed sieve, hold it over each souffle, and tap its edge to dust with some sugar.

Spoon 1 tablespoon of the warm marmalade into the center of each souffle, gently breaking the top crust as you do so. Serve immediately.
