By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – Phone scammers are nothing new, but the individuals behind the line have taken a more personal tone recently, resorting to tactics that hit much closer to home.

Councilman Charles Frattini, Sr. took some time out of a recent council meeting to share a frightening call he received from a phone scammer who took things up a notch. The caller, who claimed to be an attorney, started out by telling him his granddaughter had been arrested for drunk driving after an accident.

“Of course this caught me really of guard because she’s in the Navy as a master chief and it’s not like her,” said Frattini.

The caller went on to say that his granddaughter didn’t want anyone to know and that she was very embarrassed, encouraging him not to tell anyone about the situation.

“She got on the phone, and by golly, it sounded

By Sara Grillo JOI NT BASE McGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST – In the wake of devastating flooding that has torn through Texas after Hurricane Harvey made landfall and forced more than 30,000 people to abandon their homes, a team of New Jersey National Guard airbor ne search-and-rescue experts left from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst on August 30 to aid in the ongoing

Outside Watering Curtailed During Water Tower Work recovery efforts.

The team, made up of two crews of Army National Guard UH-60 “Black Hawk” helicopters and four Air National Guard Tactical Air Control Party specialists, all volunteered for the mission, which could last up to 60 days.

“We’re hoping we can do some good down there,” said Air Guard Master Sgt. Chris Donohue. “It’s a rewarding mission to be able to help

people in America. People are used to seeing the military go overseas. Now people get to see their return on investment and all the good things the military can do here.”

Helicopter crews from the Army Guard’s 1-150th Assault Helicopter Battalion and the Air Guard’s 227th Air Support Operations Squadron often train together as part of New Jersey’s Task Force One Urban Search (Relief - See Page 5)

By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – Watering restrictions are being put in place for Manchester residents in the township’s Eastern Service Area due to mandatory repainting of the water tower on Route 37 near town hall. Officials said $1.5 million in bonds has already been appropriated to repair and repaint the tower, as its current coating suffers from severe deteriora-

tion and is clearly visible as rust.

T he mai ntenance work, which will take place this month, requires the entire water tank to be drained so both the inside and outside of the tank can be repainted. This means that water use needs to be reduced to maintain an uninterrupted supply of water and also preserve water in case of an emergency, such (Tower - See Page 4)

Page 4, The Manchester Times, September 9, 2017 “Instead of my being fished in, he was the fish being fished in,” he said, adding, “I think it behooves us all to be very careful of who we send money to.”

Two eerily similar incidents befell residents of nearby Holiday City Berkeley in early August, according to reports from Berkeley Police.

In the first incident, the victim received a call from a male who identified himself as Sgt. Jonathan Maneli. Sgt. Maneli told the victim his grandson had been arrested in the Dominican Republic for having drugs in his car and would remain in police custody unless he send bail in the amount of $836. The officer advised the victim to send the money to Cecelia E. Franco via Western Union, which he did immediately, as he was worried for his grandson. He tried

unsuccessfully to call his grandson after that, but eventually got in touch with his daughter-in-law, who told him his grandson was not in the Dominican Republic.

In a second incident, reported a day later, a male caller identified himself as the victim’s grandson and said he had gotten into a car accident while in the Dominican Republic on a sightseeing tour. When police there responded to the accident, the caller told his “grandmother” they found two pounds of heroin in the trunk, and he was arrested, brought to the American Embassy and in need of $865 bail in order to be released.

The caller then asked the victim to wire the money to his friend, Yorleny Beltre, and gave her a contact number for a police officer there in case she had any questions.

She wired the money through Western

Union, and then spoke with her family members only to find out that her grandson was not in the Dominican Republic and had never been arrested. During the conversation, the victim told Berkeley Police she did not detect any foreign accents from the caller.

The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs tracks phone fraud within the state and urges residents to “never send money under duress, especially when the person asking for the money tells you not to tell anyone you’re sending it.” The Division also advises that if you receive a call from a friend or relative in need, you should verify the story before sending any cash.

More information can be found at njconsumeraffairs.gov/FightingFraud/Pages/ phone-scams.aspx.

Tower:

Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. Restrictions begin on September 11 and will continue until further notice.

Watering in this case is any sprinkling, watering or irrigation of shrubbery, trees, lawns, grass, ground covers, plants, vines, gardens, vegetables, flowers or vegetation.

The restrictions apply to all residential

and commercial properties in Manchester located in the Water Utility’s Eastern Service Area, with the exception of public parks, public recreation areas and nurseries. No outside watering is permitted after September 11, with the exception of hanging plants and newly seeded or sodded lawn areas within a 30-day window. These areas must be marked with a sign visible from the street indicating that they are newly seeded with the date they were planted.

Residential and commercial properties being serviced by other water utility companies or that retrieve their water from private wells do not need to follow these restrictions.

These residents should put a small sign vis-

ible from the street on their front yard that says “private well” when watering outside.

Residents who violate these restrictions will be subject to fines.

In addition, residents are advised to follow these additional water conservation practices: • Use self-closing nozzles on hoses.

• Use a broom to sweep sidewalks or patios rather than a hose.

• Run washing machines and dishwashers only when full.

• Turn off faucets when not in use, such as while brushing teeth or washing dishes.

• Use soaker hoses or drip irrigation to water trees, gardens and flower beds.

Frattini said he’d heard of other phone scams going on where relatives are kidnapped, and the caller asks for ransom, and there’s someone in the background screaming “pay it!”

This caller wanted $3,000 for bail money in a wire transfer from his bank to a third party individual’s bank. But instead of obliging, he called his daughter, who confirmed that it was a scam and told him not to do anything.

Manchester Police were notified and started monitoring the calls. During one of the final calls, Frattini said he told the caller, “My daughter says let her stay in jail.”

Manchester’s Ms. New Jersey Senior America Honored

–Photo by Sara Grillo Council Vice President Craig Wallis, Council President Samuel Fusaro, Ms. New Jersey Senior America Carolyn M. Harden and Councilman James Vaccaro.

By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – The winner of this year’s Ms. New Jersey Senior America competition, Carolyn M. Harden of Manchester, was honored at a recent town council meeting with a proclamation from Mayor Kenneth Palmer.

Ms. Harden competed in the “Age of Elegance” pageant for women ages 60 years young and over with women from across New Jersey to win the crown. She is a

talented singer, performer, businesswoman and philanthropist who will go on to compete in the National Ms. Senior America competition at Resorts Casino in Atlantic City in October.

“It’s a privilege and an honor to represent the state of New Jersey and especially in this age of elegance, and I’m looking forward to my journey and I hope to make you proud in October for the Nationals,” she said.

Relief:

The mission is especially close to home for Army Guard Chief Warrant Officer 3 Quentin Hastings, an Oklahoma native, as many of his relatives live in Houston and the surrounding area. He has been in touch with a cousin who lives there through social media.

“Last I heard was that he was in an apartment building with 20 feet of water on their fi rst two floors,” Hastings said.

“We’re all eager to get down there and help out.”

Continued From Page 1 and Rescue. Members of that group have already been sent to aid in storm relief.

According to Brigadier General Michael L. Cunniff, the Adjunct General of the New Jersey National Guard, if civil authorities in Texas request additional manpower through the National Guard Bureau, New Jersey is prepared to send even more troops to help.

Politicians, Environmentalists Rally Against EPA Cuts

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – The Jersey Shore needs every single dollar of funding from the federal Environmental Protection Agency, and cuts proposed by the Trump administration have the potential of undoing years of environmental protections in the state, according to Congressman Frank Pallone (D–6th).

Pallone joined state and local elected officials, Barnegat Bay environmentalists and members of the public for a press conference at the Mantoloking Bridge County Park on Thursday morning to demand protection for EPA funding.

In September, the House of Representatives will vote on a budget that would cut 7 percent, or $.5 billion from the EPA, which would “devastate the agency,” Pallone said.

The New Jersey coastal community would be particularly vulnerable, he said.

“It’s not too late,” Pallone said. The cuts were connected to the idea that jobs and the environment can’t go together, “but that’s totally false.”

“When I was elected to Congress in 1988, the beaches up and down New Jersey were closed because of garbage, toxic waste and medical waste in the water, and the state lost millions of dollars in jobs,” he said.

Pallone said he wanted to address offshore drilling, which President Trump has moved to expand, and would include areas left out by President Obama, which include the Atlantic Coast and U.S. Arctic waters.

“They feel they should be able to drill anywhere,” Pallone said. “They’re big on fossil fuels, but we should be focusing on renewable energy, like wind and solar.”

“The cuts are an effort to dismantle the EPA, and that would manifest itself in so many ways,” he added.

Pallone said that Scott Pruitt, who Trump chose to run the EPA, does not consult with any of the agency’s employees.

“The EPA should be the most transparent department in government, because people have the right to know and to be empowered to learn and deal with pollution,” Pallone said. “The EPA has become a secret body, and that goes against the whole idea of environmental protection.”

Zach McCue, who represented Cory Booker, read a statement from the senator, who had a scheduling conflict.

“The Trump administration values ide-

ology and misinformation over protecting the environment,” he read.

Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, and his agenda is “taking our nation backwards.

We can’t sit idly by as the rest of the world addresses climate change. Enough is enough,” wrote Booker.

Brick Mayor John G. Ducey said cuts to the EPA budget would affect the health, safety and welfare of all residents.

Locally, EPA funds allow for the monitoring of the drinking water, the beaches, and the ground water that runs from the superfund site on Sally Ike Road.

“We have a superfund site because there was no monitoring and no care, because there wasn’t the knowledge. Now we have the knowledge, so the superfund site has been capped and redeveloped as a solar farm,” Ducey said.

Jeff Tittel, director of the NJ Sierra Club, said Trump has declared war on the environment with his budget cuts and it would have a disastrous effect in New Jersey.

Some of the programs that would be eliminated include pollution testing for coastal waters, the elimination of the National Estuaries Program, the elimination of climate, clean water and superfund programs, and more, he said.

“We are here today to say to President Trump, ‘hands off our environment.’ We’re here to stand up and say not anymore,” Tittel said. “No drilling off our coast. We want clean energy for a clean environment.

Don’t turn science into political science,” he said.

Mayor Bill Curtis of Bay Head agreed.

“Offshore drilling would destroy our beaches. One oil spill would affect all ecological factions in our ocean. Cut other areas, not areas that affect our environment,” he said.

Other attendees included Ed Potosnak, NJ League of Conservation Voters, Point Pleasant Beach Mayor Steve Reid; Lavallette Council President Anita Zalom; Brick Councilman Jim Fozman; Cindy Zipf and Dave Pringle, Clean Ocean Action; Britta Wenzel, Save Barnegat Bay; Tim Dillingham, American Littoral Society; Doug O’Malley, Environment NJ; Junior Romero, Food & Water Watch; Sandra Meola, NY/NJ Baykeeper; Trisha Sheehan, Moms Clean Air Force.

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

County Maintains Highest Possible AAA Bond Rating

OCEA N COU N T Y – Thanks to sound fi nancial practices, Ocean County has maintained its highest possible AAA bond rating with a stable outlook, according to Moody’s Investor Services and Fitch Ratings.

This is the third consecutive year Moody’s has rated the county AAA with a stable outlook addendum.

The county fi rst achieved an AAA rating in 2010.

“This is not the Board of Freeholders saying we are

OCEA N COU NT Y – Ocean County’s Vocational-Technical Schools have long prepared students for diverse careers ranging from marine engineering to culinary arts to plumbing, but Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari now wants to add a new facet to the educational programs.

“We are going to talk to local business leaders about the kinds of training they need for a new generation of workers,” Vicari said. “We will offer the kinds of specialized training both our students and businesses need to succeed in the 21st Century.”

Vicari envisions a system where students will be

doing a good job fi nancially,” said Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr. “This is one of the leading fi nancial and investment firms in the world saying we are doing a good job. Essentially, this is our fi nancial report card and I am happy to report we got straight A’s.”

Bartlett, who is liaison to the County Finance Department and the Department of Management and Budget, said maintaining the top bond rating has been a continuing goal of

the freeholders.

“Preserving this AAA r at i ng spea k s volu mes about the experience of this Board of Freeholders and is a testament to the entire county government, each department working to make certain this county remains financially stable and able to withstand any emergencies that may come its way,” Bar tlett said.

In issuing the repor t, Moody’s complimented the county for its “modest

debt burden, strong recovery from Hurricane Sandy and significant liquidity in outside trust funds.”

Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said the AAA rating is even more signif icant because the county was able to maintain the grade following the devastation and decrease in the tax base caused by Sandy.

“Our strong f inancial position allowed us to help our municipalities recover from the storm,” Vicari

said. “This is a testament to the strong fi nancial leadership shown by Freeholder Bartlett.”

The County will immediately see the benefit of Moody’s rating when it sells $36.15 million in general improvement bonds and $3 million in capital improvement bonds for Ocean County College.

Bartlett said that the county, like most government agencies, bonds larger capital improvement projects so the costs can be spread

Freeholder Vicari Announces Specialized Training For Modern Businesses

trained specifically for jobs that exist in Ocean County.

“While many of our graduates already find employment in Ocean County, our goal is to keep more of this talented workforce employed here within our borders,” Vicari said.

Healthcare for instance is one of the county’s largest and fastest-growing industries, he said.

“Our nursing programs provide graduates for local hospitals, doctors’ offices, nursing homes and other health care businesses throughout the county,” Vicari said. “Following this successful model, we hope other clean, high-tech

industries will be attracted to our homegrown talent.”

A lifelong educator, Vicari is also liaison to the Ocean County Workforce Investment Board and the Department of Business Development and Tourism.

With specialized training, not only will our graduates find local employment, but businesses will be encouraged to move and expand into Ocean County to take advantage of a highly skilled and talented workforce,” he said.

The Ocean County Vocational Technical School already offers career majors in over 40 areas for students going on to college or di-

rectly into the workforce.

Classes are offered at eight different facilities around the county.

The Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science (MATES) in Stafford Township provides some of the county’s topranked high school students specialized honors curriculum focused on marine and environmental science.

Culinary arts students

receive on-the-job training at Cuisine on the Green restaurant in Little Egg Harbor Township.

“We’re training our students so Ocean County will be able to compete in the ever-changing global economy,” Vicari said.

Last year Ocean County Vo-Tech graduated 77 certified apprentices in electricity work, plumbing, HVAC and machine trades. Each

out over a number of years.

“These projects are the bricks and mortar projects, they will be used for a very long time,” he said.

The bond rating provides a number of benefits that help the county save money when it comes to fi nancing capital projects, he said.

“This bond rating attracts a larger field of interested i nvestors and provides greater competition resulting in savings from lower interest costs paid on the bonds,” Bartlett said.

of those graduates is now working in their specialized field, Vicari said.

The Vo-Tech’s programs are geared not just to high school students, but adults as well.

“We have the facilities and programs to retrain adults who may be working in retail or other declining professions and are looking to improve their career outlook for the future,” Vicari said.

Ocean County Schedules Free Document Shredding Days

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders is offering residents opportunities to get rid of their residential documents in a secure and safe way.

“This program provides a great service to our residents by shredding personal documents and information that otherwise may wind up in regular trash,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the county’s award-winning recycling program. “With identity theft on the rise, this offers security to our residents and also keeps all of this paper out of the Ocean County Landfill. It’s a win, win.”

In 2016, a total of 102 tons or 204,000 pounds of documents were collected and shredded during the 18 collection dates.

The amount collected is up 16,000 pounds.

“Ocean County is a large county and we make every effort to make this program easily accessible to all our citizens,” said Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “This program has been embraced by all of our residents who want to rid their homes of personal papers without worrying about them falling into the hands of people who may use it for the wrong reasons.”

“This program was first started in 2008 and has grown in popularity,” Little said.

The work is being performed by Autoshred of Toms River.

Residents are not required to register for this free program and can bring six boxes or bags each day. The program is for all paper documents and paper forms. Paperclips and staples do not have to be removed.

Little noted the shredding unit features an automatic feeding and dumping system, eliminating the need for human contact with a resident’s documents. Events will run their complete scheduled time or until the truck

is full. The truck capacity is 8,000 pounds.

Little said that for residents who prefer to shred their documents at home, Ocean County offers drop-off boxes at both County recycling centers for shredded office papers.

Drop-off boxes can be accessed by Building 105 at the Ocean County Southern Recycling Center, 379 Haywood Road, Stafford Township or Building 68 at the Ocean County Northern Recycling Center at 601 New Hampshire Ave., Lakewood.

Little also suggested residents contact their municipal recycling centers to learn whether there is a local drop-off box for shredded office papers.

The following is a list of dates, times and locations for the Residential Document Shredding Program: September 16, Long Beach Township Recycling Center, 7910 Long Beach Blvd., 9 to 11 a.m.

MANCHESTER – The Manchester Township Police proudly presented a donation to the Ocean of Love charity last week from funds raised during the department’s 3rd Annual Elite Law Enforcement Fitness Challenge.

Detective David Fusaro and Patrolman Charles Gatnarek, organizers of the team-based challenge held at Harry Wright Lake in June, presented Ocean of Love staff Taylor Hearn and Tracy Ratz with a check for $2,600. The donation will aid the non-profit charitable organization in its mission to help Ocean County children with cancer and their families lead more normal lives. Ocean of Love helps to pay bills, gas, tolls, and other expenses for local families with a child dealing with cancer.

Over the three years of the Fitness Challenge, nearly $20,000 has been raised for the Ocean of Love Charity, as well as for the nonprofit Manchester Township Police Foundation and its

programs. All of the officers who participated were proud to work together and compete for these worthy causes.

“The Fitness Challenge is a grueling series of physical challenges that pushes athletes to their limits,” said Detective Fusaro. “Thank you to the many departments who participated in this year’s challenge. We’re looking forward to continuing to grow this fundraiser each year while supporting worthwhile local charities.”

To make a donation to Ocean of Love at any time, or to learn more about the organization and its four major fundraising events held throughout the year, please visit their website at oceanoflove.org.

MICHELE’S

GOLD BUYERS, LLC –Photos by Lorrie Toscano Local children perform in Into the Woods Jr., which was produced by the non-profit Ocean Children’s Theatre Co. WHITING – Sisters Juliet and Olivia Sereda spent this past weekend regaling the excitement of the past few weeks. They both just finished performing as cast members in Into the Woods Jr., produced by Ocean Children’s Theatre Co. (OCTC), a Whiting-based non-profit theatre company that provides arts education, enrichment and performance opportunities for area youth.

When asked about what these productions meant to her, Olivia said, “OCTC gives me the opportunity to live-out my passion for singing and acting, while being a part of a community of young artists.”

Her sister Juliet echoed Olivia’s sentiments, and her mother, Lindsay Sereda, added, “My daughter has Down Syndrome; working with OCTC has helped her to come-out of her shell. I see a great amount of growth in her self-esteem,

confidence, communication, and social skills.”

The teachers are so very pleased with this last production. Artistic Director Michael Grande said, “It’s such a rewarding experience to share our love of the performing arts with our students. We are so blessed to witness these students growing as performers and to sharing their gifts with the world.”

Ocean Children’s Theatre Co. has students from various parts of Ocean County, including Manchester Township, Toms River, Brick and New Egypt. Board President Lu-Ann Cirone is a strong advocate for a fully inclusive program.

OCTC is open to students of various levels of experience and to children with special needs. The next production is Annie Jr. and the show will take place on the weekend of December 8. For more information, please visit oceantheatreco.org or call 732-444-3275.

Does Hearing Really Effect My Golf Game?

Golf Digest conducted two tests that prove hearing’s link to the golf links: Depicted below are a summary of the results: From 150 Yards In: Ten golfers with handicaps between four and 16 hit 18 balls each to a green 150 yards away with and without earmuffs. Without earmuffs, the group hit the green 67 percent of the time. With earmuffs, the group hit the green only 53 percent of the time.

Judging Your Putts: Ten golfers with handicaps between two and 17 hit a variety of 48 putts with three identical putters, with and without earmuffs. Without earmuffs, golfers correctly guessed the putts’ outcome (long, short, just right)

59 percent of the time. With earmuffs, players guessed correctly only 40 percent of the time.

Arnold Palmer has been an active wearer of hearing aids for many years. Golf Digest interviewed Mr. Palmer about the benefits of wearing hearing aids when golfing. Mr. Palmer said, “Your eyes are key on the golf course but I can tell you that your ears are equally important to playing good golf.”

Thus, if you’re an avid golfer suffering from hearing loss, you may want to have your hearing tested to determine whether hearing aids can be beneficial to you, in particular, helping your golf game and lowering your handicap.

Bartley Healthcare To Offer Bereavement Support Group

JACKSON – Bartley Healthcare is partnering with Holisticare Hospice to host a Bereavement Support Group every other month. We are all affected by grief and loss at some point in our lives, and everyone grieves in his or her own way. There are many different forms of grief, but you may want to consider a support group, where everyone gives and takes, and you are not alone.

Many grieving people wonder if they would benefit from joining a support group.

Support groups offer a few gifts: they provide hope, they can help a griever find new empathy, new understandings, and renewed strengths, and they can reaffirm that one is not alone. Grief is experienced in so many different ways – physical, emotional, and spiritual, and one needs a place to recognize that these reactions are part of the journey of grief.

Anyone can attend this support group.

You may have anticipatory grief, you may be grieving the loss of a loved one, or you may be a caregiver for someone with Alzheimer’s or Dementia. This Bereavement Support Group has been created for anyone

who would like a listening ear, or would like to listen to others share their feelings and emotions.

The second Bereavement Support Group meeting will be hosted by Holisticare Hospice at Bartley Healthcare, at 175 Bartley Road in Jackson, on September 27 at 4 p.m. There will be light refreshments served. Seating is limited, so please RSVP to Lindsay, Marketing Coordinator, at 732-370-4700 x1368, or lconstantino@ bartleyhealthcare.com.

For over 31 years, Bartley Healthcare has provided quality individual focused memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and assisted living services for residents on its 25-acre campus in Jackson, NJ. Founded in 1985, Bartley Healthcare has long been recognized as an award winning, quality leader with the experience in memory care, skilled nursing, post-acute care, and assisted living.

Nootropic Supplements – Nature’s Smart Pill

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Last month I wrote an article entitled, Alzheimer’s is A Guessing Game.

Afterward, many of you emailed and shared your personal stories about this, and some were delightful, others heartbreaking.

I truly understand. It brings to the forefront of my mind a woman named Mary, who I met at a Florida nursing home in the 90’s.

I am going to tell you her story soon, so be sure to sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com.

Today’s column will focus on natural remedies that support brain health and memory.

Keep in mind that anything you want to try, please ask your physician if it’s right for you since I am not a doctor and besides, individual response varies. Now, for some intelligent brain-loving options, all available at health food stores nationwide (and possibly in your garden)!

Lion’s Mane This is a medicinal mushroom, not an animal-derived furry ingredient. It is classified as a nootrope. Have you ever heard of that word before?

Nootropics (“noah-trope-icks”) are defined as substances that can improve cognitive function. Nootropic substances, whether they are medications or supplements, simply contain supportive nutrients that will help you maintain optimal brain function.

Lion’s Mane is known botanically as Hericium erinaceus, and it possesses well-known regenerative effects. There’s an active ingredient in Lion’s Mane mushroom promotes the growth of nerve cells in the brain. When you grow new nerve cells, it’s helpful right?

Nootropes are the way of the world, and

even kids know about them because on the street, they are termed “smart pills.” Some college kids like nootropic supplements to help them get through finals and exams.

Bacopa Monnieri There is a gorgeous white flower that is a nootropic herb. It helps you maintain optimal brain function due to its strong, protective effect on one particular memory-compound called acetylcholine.

Bacopa blocks acetylcholinesterase (which breaks down acetylcholine), and remember now, that acetylcholine is a highly desired neurotransmitter!

Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) Gotu kola, commonly called pennywort, contains compounds that support neurotrophin secretion. Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor or BDNF is the most well-studied of the neurotrophins. It helps maintain brain integrity, and signals nerve cells to survive and differentiate. Gotu kola seems to help with mental fatigue.

I have a longer version of this article (plus big news) so to read that, go to my site and sign up for my newsletter. If your practitioner approves of these gentle remedies, you could certainly try them independently, or you can find multi-tasking formulas that contain these as well as other key nutrients and amino acids.

Just be careful because some nootropic supplements are dangerous, and in fact, some are not supposed to be on the market anymore. Buy from trusted brands and companies. It’s completely within your rights to ask for a company’s Certificate of Analysis for purity and heavy metal testing. If they don’t provide that document to you, run.

Freeholder Haines To Represent New Jersey Women Legislators

By Sara Grillo OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Freeholder and Toms River resident Virginia E. Haines is now the New Jersey State Director for the National Foundation for Women Legislators.

Haines was recently selected to lead the nation’s oldest non-partisan organization that addresses the needs of

elected women officials within all areas of government.

“It’s a privilege to serve as the 2017 New Jersey State Director for the National Foundation for Women Legislators,” said Haines, who has been an Ocean County Freeholder since January 2016. “I am so proud of the many accomplishments women have made and continue to make

at all levels of government.”

“I look forward to working with the members of this organization in order to advance the status of women in government and to come together to share views and experiences that will help create an ongoing dialogue that will make a difference for not just our respective constituents but nationally,” she said.

Haines is only the second woman in the history of Ocean County to serve on the Freeholder Board, the first being Hazel Gluck of Lakewood. Prior to becoming a Freeholder, she also served in the State Assembly, as New Jersey Lottery Director and on the Dover Township (Toms River) Committee.

As part of her new role, Haines, along with other elected women across the country, will travel to Minneapolis, Minnesota from November 14 to 18 for the National Foundation of Women Legislators’ (NFWL) 2017 Annual Conference to discuss effective solutions to some of the country’s most pressing issues.

“Fostering a non-partisan environment that encourages dialogue and the sharing of information and experiences, women leaders are able to build coalitions, share the concerns of their constituents, and identify out-of-the-box solutions to the most pressing issues facing their communities today,” Haines said.

“We are so proud Freeholder Haines has accepted a leadership position in our Foundation,” stated Minnesota State Senator Car rie Ruud, NFW L’s 2017 Chair. “NFWL’s theme for 2017 is leadership, and Haines exemplifies this theme.

She will play a key role in aiding elected women in New Jersey, as we continue to grow as an organization.”

Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari mirrored the sentiments of Sen. Ruud, saying that Freeholder Haines was a great choice for the role.

“She brings a great deal of knowledge and perspective to the table,” Vicari said.

“She is a hard worker and will be a true benefit to the NFWL.” Haines will carry the title of New Jersey State Director for the NFWL through the end of 2018.

National Foundation for Women Legislators supports elected women from all levels of governance. As a non-profit, non-partisan organization, NFWL does not take ideological positions on public policy issues, but instead serves as a forum for women legislators to be empowered through information and experience.

MERKEL CELL CARCINOMA

M

erkel cell carcinoma is also called neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. It tends to grow fast and to spread quickly to other parts of your body.

SYMPTOMS

The first sign of Merkel cell carcinoma is a fastgrowing, painless red, blue or purple nodule on your skin, most commonly seen on the face, scalp or neck.

WHEN TO SEE A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER

If you notice a mole, freckle or bump that is changing in size, shape or color, growing rapidly, or bleeding easily after minor trauma, such as washing your skin or shaving, make an appointment with your healthcare provider.

RISK FACTORS Factors that may increase risk of Merkel cell carcinoma include:

Beautiful Skin at Any Age Medical Dermatology (Pediatric & Adult): • Abnormal Moles Comprehensive Skin Cancer • Pre-cancer Growths • Skin Cancer Screenings Available - Call Today!

• Pimples • Scars • Viral & Fungal Infections • Itchy Flaky Scalp/Face • Eczema • Cracked Lips & Dry Skin • Itching, Sunburns & Blisters • Diaper Rash & Allergic Reactions • Rosacea • Skin Tags • Benign Growths...and and many others!

Renata Flaks, DNP 707 Main Street • Toms River 732-244-2666 www.qualityderm.com Open Monday - Friday

QUALITY DERMATOLOGY Accepting Most Insurance Plans Accepting New Patients Same Day Emergency Appointments

• Excessive exposure to sun or tanning beds.

• A weakened immune system including those with HIV infection, those taking drugs that suppress the immune response or those with chronic leukemia.

• History of other skin cancers such as basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma.

• Increasing age. This cancer is most common in people older than age 50, though it can occur at any age.

• Light skin color. Merkel cell carcinoma usually arises in people who have light-colored skin.

COMPLICATIONS

Even with treatment, Merkel cell carcinoma commonly spreads (metastasizes) beyond the skin. Merkel cell carcinoma tends to travel first to nearby lymph nodes. Later it may spread to your brain, bones, liver or lungs, where it can interfere with the functioning of these organs. Cancer that has metastasized is more dicult to treat and can be fatal.

Epilepsy Is On The Rise In New Jersey

NEW JERSEY – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that the number of adults and children living with active epilepsy is at an all-time high.

At least 3.4 million people in the United States live with seizures, including 470,000 children. The number of adults rose from 2.3 million in 2010 to 3 million in 2015 and the number of children with epilepsy rose from 450,000 in 2007 to 470,000 in 2015.

It is important to note that this report only accounts for individuals with active epilepsy, as the number of people with a history of epilepsy or seizures is much greater.

This report confirms that epilepsy has been under-reported and is not a rare condition.

Epilepsy presents substantial individual and societal barriers that vary in both severity and impact. Affecting people of all ages, races and ethnicities, with a significant burden on those with lower incomes, the increased prevalence of epilepsy in the United States calls for a national and localized public health response.

The Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey (EFNJ) will continue to fight every day to improve the lives of the 92,700 New Jersey residents including 12,000 children who are currently impacted by epilepsy and their

family caregivers.

EFNJ offers a variety of programs and services to individuals in New Jersey living with epilepsy and their families including; seizure recognition and first aid trainings on the medical, educational and social impact of epilepsy; Camp NOVA, a one week overnight summer camp for young people in an environment filled with fun experiences and memories that last a lifetime and Community Impact Boards that focus on expanding the quantity and quality of our services.

EFNJ also has a variety of fundraising and awareness building events such as Glow Walk Run! A Family Fun Walk, Costume Contest & Sanctioned 5K happening Saturday, October 28 at Liberty State Park in Jersey City.

The Family Resource Network (FRN) is a comprehensive, family-focused organization designed to meet the growing need for community-based programs and services to this rising population. FRN’s network agencies are: Autism Family Services of NJ, Caregivers of NJ, Epilepsy Foundation of NJ and the Family Support Center of NJ. Please visit familyresourcenetwork.org for more information or call 800-336-5843.

Parents Encouraged To Add Health Visits To Back-To-School Checklist

NEW JERSEY – With students heading back to school next month, the New Jersey Department of Health is encouraging parents and guardians to include school physicals, eye exams and vaccinations to the checklist in addition to the standard school supplies, books and backpacks to get a jump start on health requirements and classroom readiness. “ T he r e i s a c or r elat ion b e t we e n a ca de m ic a ch ieve me nt a nd ove r al l good health,” said New Jersey Health Commissioner Cathleen D. Bennett.

“Families should make sure children are up-to-date with health exams and immunizations when back-to-school season rolls around. Saying goodbye to summer fun is always difficult but planning ahead makes the transition easier and less stressful.”

As August is National Immunization Awareness Month, this annual observance is the perfect time to highlight the important role vaccines play throughout one’s lifespan to protect against serious and sometimes deadly diseases.

In combination with yearly physicals, both wellness and athletic (for students pla n n i ng to play spor t s du r i ng t he schoolyear), this dual defense enables students to put their best foot forward each day ultimately inf luencing higher school attendance and performance in the classroom.

Childhood vaccines protect against 14 serious diseases such diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, measles, mumps, rubella, Haemophilus inf luenzae type b (Hib), hepatitis B, varicella (chickenpox) and pneumococcal disease, thereby reducing the spread of disease to others in classrooms, child care centers and communities.

As children get older, they are more likely to get certain diseases like meningococcal disease and infections that can lead to human papillomavirus (HPV) cancers. Preteens can be protected long before their risk of infection increases by get t i ng recom mended vacci nes.

Additionally, some childhood vaccines

YOUR AD COULD BE HERE!

wear off over time, so booster shots are needed to help stay protected from serious diseases like tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. Talk to your healthcare provider routinely to assess vaccination needs. Infor mation about vaccines, recommended immunization schedules for all age groups and programs that provide vaccines at no cost to children of low-income families can be found at the CDC website at cdc.gov/vaccines/ index.html.

Wellness and spor ts physicals are equally essential for students heading back to school, especially for those who plan to participate in organized sports to determine disqualifying conditions and to ensure a safe playing environment.

The purpose of this pre-screening is to determine physical and medical limitations including cardiovascular, neurologic, visual, orthopedic, general medical and mental health to help identify those conditions that may predispose a student to injury or sudden death. For health forms, guidelines and resources, be sure to visit your child’s school and/ or township school district website.

When participating in physical activity, it is also important to be aware of the signs of a concussion. A concussion is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that can change the way the brain normally works. Each year, U.S. emergency departments treat an estimated 173,285 sports– and recreation-related traumatic brain injuries, or TBIs, including concussions, among children and teens, from birth to 19 years. Reported symptoms related to concussions include headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and blurry vision.

More information on concussions can be found at cdc.gov/headsup/basics/ concussion_ symptoms.html.

Inside The Law Identifying Nursing Home Abuse And Neglect

Nursing home abuse can take many forms. It can be intentional, visible, obvious or it can be more subtle – abuse through neglect and general lack of care on the part of nursing home staff. Abuse can be physical, emotional, financial or even sexual. Each of these takes a heavy toll on any person, but nursing home abuse and nursing home neglect can be especially hard on the elderly, some of the most vulnerable members of our society. Whatever form nursing home abuse takes, it is urgent that you and your loved one open a dialogue about this extraordinarily sensitive topic. Communication is necessary to end the abuse and let the healing begin.

The fi rst step in opening a dialogue is identifying suspected abuse. There are many signs of nursing home abuse that you can look for. The first sign you may notice is a change in behavior. The emotional effects that often accompany abuse can manifest as sluggishness or depression, a lack of enthusiasm for things your loved one once enjoyed or even a loss of interest in visits. The change in attitude can be significant and sudden, or it may be subtle and prolonged. The most important thing is to be observant and notice if the change is taking place on any level.

Of course, it is also possible that signs of abuse will be far more apparent.

Physical signs of nursing home abuse or nursing home neglect can take the form of bruises, sores, cuts, scars or any similar injuries. These may be from simple

accidents, but if there is anything suspicious about the injury, the Michael J. Deem Esq. problem should be addressed immediately.

Suspicious signs might include a reluctance to talk about how the injury occurred or claiming not to remember the cause. Even more obvious signs are bedsores which are a common sign of nursing home neglect. They are painful and, if infected, can be potentially lethal.

Statistics show that nearly 50 percent of all nursing homes are short staffed.

The staff people who do work in these facilities are underpaid, overworked and all too often overburdened, which in turn leads to elder neglect and abuse.

When abuse or neglect are identified or suspected, it is important to notify the authorities and contact a nursing home abuse lawyer to discuss your legal rights.

Document any such evidence you observe, and bring it to the attention of the local authorities and your attorney.

Neglect can be just as harmful in the long run as abuse, leading to additional health problems and possibly death. Nursing home abuse isn’t limited to physical abuse; there can also be emotional, verbal and psychological abuse, where an elder is demeaned or humiliated in other ways.

If you think a loved one is the victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, call the trial attorney’s at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free consultation to discuss their rights.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Travel Show Picks Seaside Pizzeria As A “Delicious Destination”

By Chris Lundy SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Maruca’s Tomato Pies will be an upcoming “delicious destination” on the Travel Channel.

A small film crew was stationed at the boardwalk restaurant for one day in August.

The show, Delicious Destinations, focuses on where to get the best and most interesting foods in various areas.

Joseph Maruca, the owner, said that the filming went perfectly. There was nice weather, a good reception from the crowd, and it went together very smoothly. He said he was more than happy to have been picked by the show.

“They reached out to us. They wanted to do a segment on iconic Jersey Shore food and we came up on their radar screen,” he said.

The production company arrived in the morning and was scheduled to be on site through mid-day, he said. They filmed some footage of the beach and boardwalk for flavor, and they also filmed inside the restaurant. They interviewed Maruca about the history of the business, and filmed staff making their signature cheese and tomato pie, among other items.

The staff at the restaurant did not yet know when the segment will air. A representative from the production company did not return attempts to contact them.

Seaside Heights business administrator Christopher Vaz said that the production company, Tremendous Entertainment, filed for a one day film permit.

He said that he did not expect to have any disruption to residents or tourists. “It’s a small crew. They didn’t have a need for security or to block off any public portion for the B roll.”

Most of the filming was inside the restaurant, he said. The B roll would be outside footage of the area.

Ocean County College To Offer Pet Therapy Certification

Winter Completion

FALL SAVINGS

Fall Delivery

TOMS RIVER – Ocean County College’s Department of Continuing & Professional Education, in partnership with Compassionate Canine Training, is offering Pet Therapy Preparation and Certification. The need for certified teams in Ocean County is far beyond the number of dogs being trained. This new hands-on training course is geared for dog/handler teams (owner/pet) and will help meet that need.

Pet therapy visits enrich lives, encourage personal connections, and also provide the dogs with an opportunity to use interactive skills that help keep them mentally and physically fit.

In Pet Therapy Preparation and Certification, you and your pet will receive hands-on training so you are both ready to be tested/ certified as a Therapy Dog Team and be able to go out and visit people in need. NOTE: Dogs do NOT need to be “perfect” but should like meeting new people and have a basis in obedience (sit, stay, come, down, and loose leash walking).

This certification allows you and your dog, as a Therapy Dog Team, to volunteer with Caregiver Canines® and perform home visits to the local senior community as well as hospitals, assisted living facilities, schools, and businesses that allow pet therapy visitations.

Classes meet on Saturdays, September 16 to October 7, from 9 to 10:30 a.m., plus the certification evaluation will be scheduled for Saturday, October 14.

To register, call the Ocean County College Department of Continuing & Professional Education at 732-255-0404 or visit ocean. edu/cpe.htm (type in keyword “Pet Therapy” or course title “Pet Therapy Preparation and Certification”).

Dog trainer Kelly M. Keeney is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and a Certified Behavior Adjustment Training Instructor (CBATI). She provides effective, fun, healthy, and positive YES-based training for pets and their family.

Caregiver Canines® is a local non-profit that provides joy and companionship to the elderly and homebound by bringing canine therapy teams directly to them in the comfort of their own homes.

Sheriff’s Department’s Horse Passes Away

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Sheriff’s Department had to say goodbye to one of their own, with the passing of Sambuca, the horse that accompanied them on many outings.

Sambuca, 20, could be seen at the Ocean County Fair, Berkeley Pride Day, the Polar Bear Plunge, or many other places where the sheriff’s department has a presence.

Sheriff’s Officer Brian Stockhoff, her owner, said that her appearances attracted children and families, helping to form a connection between the police and the public. She was a memorable figure at parades and other events.

In a more official capacity, she participated in a drill searching for a lost person, Stockhoff said. The Explorer Post, made up of local young cadets interested in a career in law enforcement, also spent some time with her.

“She was a rare horse,” he said of her being comfortable surrounded by 20-30 kids. “She loved it. She loved the attention.”

Her life was cut short, she could have lived another 10 years, by complications after a vet found lesions around the small intestines, he said.

“It was a shock to all of us,” he said. “I fed her that morning, and she was fine. She took a turn for the worst and she died the next morning.”

Her indoctrination into the Sheriff’s Office started as almost a joke. Newly minted Sheriff Michael Mastronardy was asking officers for new ideas in 2014, and Stockhoff offered the idea of a mounted unit.

“Where would we get a horse from?”

Mastronardy asked.

“I have one,” Stockhoff replied.

And from there, more and more ideas came where Sambuca could be used.

The family is looking to buying another horse, but they have to find one that meshes well with the family and the other horses, Stockhoff said.

“It’s been an amazing adventure so far and there will definitely be a number two,” he said.

Sambuca went on a lot of Ocean County Sheriff’s Department outings.

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may land in the limelight if you linger in public places. The week ahead is a good time for networking. If you are single your growing popularity could make it hard to pick and choose between possible hookups.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be more creative than you think. A romantic partner might inspire you to try something new. Wait a few days before spending your money on baubles and bling as your taste will improve as the week unfolds.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Awkward is as awkward does. As this week begins you may not be at your best in social situations or when dealing with relationship issues. Focus on reading everything you can about the latest techniques and methods.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A powerful relationship may grow and thrive as this week unfolds. A small difference of opinion may lead to hurt feelings. Sidestep squabbles over minor issues and focus on building strong and lasting relationships.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Consider every stumbling block as an opportunity to show off your problem-solving ingenuity. Present worries and fears will dissipate quickly as the week unfolds.

Focus on crucial financial matters late in the week.

and you see a way to make your dreams a reality.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Originality will trump the conventional approach. As this week moves forward you may be exposed to the latest technologies and cutting edge ideas. Make apologies and ask for factors in the middle of the week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It does not need to be midnight to unmask the masqueraders.

Flattery could be the sign of a spin doctor trying to influence your opinion. Think before you act and remain skeptical of appearances in the week ahead.

Focus on being diplomatic and tolerant in the week ahead. Wait until late in the week to make key decisions that affect your financial security.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might be a premise short of a valid argument. Someone will meet you halfway and compromise if you choose your timing. In the week to come learn all you can about everything that attracts your interest.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You might be made to feel helpless when faced by a confusing situation in the week ahead. Rather than let a misunderstanding upset a relationship you can turn on the charm and put your communication skills to work.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Chill Out: Celebrate The Last Blast Of Summer Eating Homemade Ice Cream

By Wolfgang Puck Even though autumn is three weeks away, most Americans think of Labor Day weekend as the end of summer. Family vacations are over, children are starting school, and grills are being readied for one more grand meal cooked outdoors.

There’s just one problem. Summer doesn’t seem ready to go. In many parts of the country, we’re only now entering the hottest time of year, regardless of what the calendar says or how much earlier the sun sets.

So, I’d like to offer you some tips for your Labor Day cookout.

1. Keep the food simple. Choose items that grill quickly, whether it’s sliced summer vegetables or relatively thin fillets of seafood, poultry or meat. Now is not the time to stand over a hot covered grill as you slow-cook and regularly baste a boneless pork shoulder.

2. Keep accompaniments equally simple - and cool. Classic coleslaw or a salad of sliced sun-ripened tomatoes with basil, for example, will help you feel refreshed throughout your meal.

3. Finally, finish with homemade ice cream.

No dessert expresses summer’s pleasures more effectively.

Making ice cream is surprisingly easy.

What takes the most time is preparing your ice cream mixture (basically a flavored, pourable custard), and that doesn’t take much more than a half hour of kitchen time.

Then comes what used to be the most challenging part of the process: hand-turning an old-fashioned ice cream freezer. Today, however, you can fi nd a good variety of reasonably priced electric machines that will do that work for you. If you love good ice cream but don’t have one of these appliances, I highly recommend that you get one.

You may even find them on sale, now that summer is almost over.

What kind of ice cream should you make?

Of course, the instruction booklet that comes with your machine will offer good basic recipes. But I suggest that you start getting more creative as soon as you feel comfortable. To inspire you, let me offer of my own favorite recipes for a uniquely American flavor that symbolically toasts our nation’s workers on Labor Day: Jack Daniel’s chocolate chocolate chip.

The smooth, mellow taste of Tennessee whiskey as exemplified by its most familiar brand, Jack Daniel’s, perfectly complements custardy homemade ice cream flavored and flecked with bittersweet chocolate. Considering the recent boom in artisanal spirits, I’m sure you’ll easily find other good options; or substitute your favorite Kentucky bourbon. (Feel free to make a “virgin” batch, if children will be joining the party. The results will still taste delicious.)

Note that it takes very little liquor to flavor

the ice cream: a 1/2-cup (125-mL) serving includes just 3/4 teaspoon. Still, I suggest that you eat (and drink) responsibly on this unofficial last weekend of summer!

JAC K DA N I E L’ S C H O C O L AT E CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM Makes 2 quarts (2 L) 1 vanilla bean, carefully split lengthwise with a small, sharp knife 2 cups (500 mL) milk 2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream 8 large cage-free egg yolks 3/4 cup (185 mL) sugar 1 cup (250 mL) bittersweet chocolate, cut into small pieces 1/4 cup (60 mL) Jack Daniel’s, or other Tennessee whiskey, or Kentucky bourbon, plus more as needed 1/2 cup (125 mL) melted bittersweet chocolate Put the vanilla bean in a large saucepan.

Add the milk and cream. Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat.

In a heatproof mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until foamy. While whisking constantly, pour half of the hot milk mixture into the sugar-yolk mixture.

Pour this mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon; take care not to let the mixture come to a boil, which will curdle this custard and make it unusable.

Pour the thickened custard through a finemeshed strainer into a large cold bowl. Immediately add the 1 cup (250 mL) of chocolate pieces to the hot custard and stir until they melt and the mixture is smooth. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until the mixture is chilled.

Stir the Jack Daniel’s into the chilled mixture, adding a little more to taste if you like.

Transfer the mixture to an ice-cream freezer and freeze following the manufacturer’s instructions.

While the ice cream is freezing, prepare the chocolate chips.

Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Heat a heavy baking sheet in the preheated oven.

Spread the melted chocolate over the bottom of the baking sheet in a thin, even layer. Let cool until the baking sheet is cool to the touch, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate is hard. With a sharp knife, score the chocolate into small 1/4-inch (6-mm) squares. Using a metal pastry scraper or a palette knife, scrape these chips from the baking sheet. Freeze until needed.

When the ice cream is ready, transfer it to a cold freezer-proof bowl. With a spatula or large, wide spoon, fold in the chocolate chips.

Store in the freezer until ready to serve.
