Environmental Settlement Question Passes By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – A ballot question about funding clean-ups passed statewide. Question No. 2 was designed to dedicate environmental settlement funds to environmental cleanups. The question’s wording stated: “The moneys would have to be used to repair, restore, replace or preserve the State’s natural resources. The moneys may also be used to pay legal or other costs incurred by the State in pursuing its claims. Currently, these moneys may be used for any State purpose.” Ocean County voters supported this measure, 79,103 votes to 49,806. The vote passed statewide as well.
The Sierra Club sent a statement praising the passage of the ballot question. “This is a win for the environment and the people who want to make sure it’s protected,” said Jeff Tittel, Director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. “With the passage of Ballot Question No. 2, money that comes from environmental settlements will serve environmental purposes. It means we can clean-up and make our communities whole again after they’ve been devastated by toxic pollution. The money will go towards restoring wetlands, cleaning up streams, planting trees, rebuilding parks, protecting our drinking water, and other issues that arise after a community has been devastated by toxic contamination.”

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!

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.

The Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation has pledged $8 million. “We could not have made this happen without the generosity of the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation,” Bartlett said. “With the help of the foundation and the state, we can afford the $8 million from the freeholders for the construction of the building.” The 60,000-square-foot building is expected to open in 2019. It will be located on the campus of Ocean County College. One of the benefits of being at OCC is that the infrastructure is already there, Bartlett said. The site is already hooked up to utilities and the roads and parking are already there. Additionally, the county would not have to purchase property for the school. “At night time, the college can use the building as well,” he said. The Performing Arts Academy is currently renting space in Hangar 1 of the Joint Base-McGuire/Dix/Lakehurst. Its lease will be expiring soon. Additionally, with added security regulations, parents and staff have expressed that location is not as convenient as it once was. During the introduction of that bond ordinance, Suzanne Wyckoff, Jackson, thanked the Freeholders on behalf of the Parent Teacher Association for the Performing Arts Academy. “The school is amazing.

Two institutions that only exist on paper, the Ocean County College Board of School Estimate and the Ocean County Vocational Technical Schools Board of School Estimate, both passed resolutions outlining the funding sources and the responsibilities of the two institutions. The academy offers four majors: theater, vocal, dance and audio engineering. This is in addition to its academic curriculum. “The curriculum is rigorous and the students are expected to think critically and creatively,” OCVTS Superintendent William Hoey said in a press release. “This new academy will benefit both the high school and college students. We will be sharing the classroom space and can use the other amenities at the college.” OCC College President Dr. Jon Larson said in a press release that high school students will able to use the college’s library, student center and the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts. “Once they complete the academy curriculum, students will be awarded OCC’s associate degree and will be half way to a bachelor’s degree – all for a fraction of the tuition cost of a university degree,” Larson said.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
MacArthur’s Veterans Legislation Introduced In Senate From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman MacArthur applauded the introduction of The Fairness for Korean DMZ Veterans Act in the Senate by Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS). This legislation, which was originally introduced in the House by Congressman MacArthur, expands the time frame of eligibility for disability compensation for veterans who served at or near the Korean DMZ and are suffering from herbicide-related conditions. Currently, that time frame is between April 1, 1968
and Aug. 31, 1971. This legislation will change the eligibility date to Sept. 1, 1967 for these veterans, allowing them to receive the health care they have earned. The Fairness for Korean DMZ Veterans Act has gained bipartisan support from many Senators who serve on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, including Senators John Tester (DMT), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and Sherrod Brown (D-OH). The legislation has been supported by both the VFW and the American Legion.
The VFW estimates that hundreds of veterans would be helped by this change. “I’m grateful that Senator Moran is introducing The Fairness for Korean DMZ Veterans Act in the Senate,” said Congressman MacArthur. “As the son of a Korean War veteran and Representative of more than 50,000 veterans, I originally introduced this bill in the House because I believe we have a moral obligation to provide quality care for our veterans. This bill will ensure hundreds of veterans who served at the Korean DMZ that are suffering from Agent Orange and other herbicide-related conditions finally receive the care they deserve.” “Many veterans who served in the Korean DMZ during the Vietnam War are suffer-
ing from significant health conditions associated with exposure to toxic herbicides, and some of these veterans are still excluded from qualifying for the healthcare benefits they need,” said Senator Moran. “The Fairness for Korean DMZ Veterans Act would help more Korean DMZ veterans have access to critical healthcare benefits they have been previously denied. I am grateful to again work with Sen. Tester on this vital issue and encourage my colleagues to support this legislation so we can finally resolve this issue and Korean DMZ veterans can begin receiving the benefits they deserve.” “When service members deploy to harm’s way and are exposed to toxic chemicals, our country has a responsibility to meet their health
care needs,” said Senator Tester. “This bipartisan bill recognizes the sacrifice of Korean DMZ veterans and ensures they have access to the services they have earned.” “The VFW is proud to stand with Congressman MacArthur in support of veterans who served on the Korean DMZ prior to April of 1968 and now suffer from adverse health conditioned associated with exposure to Agent Orange,” said Ken Wiseman, Associate Director of National Legislative Service for the VFW. “Those veterans, from several Army units, supported our Korean allies and their service has caused health problems which must not be ignored. This legislation would properly recognize the earlier time period that
Agent Orange was used and, in turn, clear the hurdles that veterans have faced when securing their earned benefits from VA.” “The VFW has received an outpouring of evidence from our members proving that an earlier date is merited. We have seen where individual veterans have successfully argued for earned benefits with the support of detailed witness statements but only after a lengthy appeals process. Our national convention has passed resolutions in support of this change for several years. Changing the start date through legislation will fix this problem once and for all and Congressman MacArthur’s leadership on this issue helps Korean DMZ veterans received the recognition and benefits they deserve.”
Freeholders Call Upon Congress To Say No To Eliminating Federal Income Tax Deduction For State And Local Taxes
NEW JERSEY – The state and local tax deduction (SALT) has for more than a century been used by t axpayers i n Ocean County and throughout New Jersey as a deduction on fe de r al i ncome t a x returns. Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, along with his colleagues on the Board of Chosen Freeholders, doesn’t want that to change any time soon for the hundreds of thousands of county residents that use it. “This proposal which is being given serious consideration by Congress to eliminate this deduction is a serious mistake,” Vicari said. “This particular income tax deduction is used by almost everyone who itemizes their income t a xe s . T h i s d e d u c t io n prevents double taxation since state and local taxes are mandatory payments.” The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholder s
recently passed a resolution expressing “its strong opposition to any tax reform proposal that would eliminate the SALT deduction,” according to the resolution. “We are urging the U.S. Congress and our Congressional leaders to join us in publicly opposing any such proposal,” Vicari said. The Board joins a growing chorus of opposition to the proposal including the New Jersey Association of Counties, the National Association of Counties, the National League of Cities and the United States Conference of Mayors. According to these organizations, eliminating or cappi ng federal de ductibility for state and local property, sales and income taxes would represent double taxation on A mer ica n t axpayers, a principle strongly rejected throughout the rest of the tax code.
“This federal cost shift onto local gover nments would place extreme pressure on Ocean County’s budget including diminished revenue for essential local government investments, including public safety and public infrastructure,” according to the Freeholder resolution. “Increased federal taxation and reduced County ser vices will har m our local housing market, decrease home values and erode our local tax base.” Vicari noted that Ocean County and the state of New Jersey pays more than its fair share of taxes to the federal government with one of the worst returns. The average New Jersey taxpayer paid $18,367 in federal income taxes, behind only Connecticut, New York, and Massachuset ts. That’s $4,316 above the national average of $14,051, according to published reports.
In addition, in 2015, New Jerseyans received only 48 cents back for every dollar they pay in income tax, the fourth lowest rate
in the country, according to WalletHub, a personal finance resource website. “We cannot ignore the importance of this deduc-
tion,” Vicari said. “It has been of true value for more than 100 years. We need to make certain it is not eliminated.”

New Cell Phone Procedure
BERKELEY – Berkeley Township Elementary School announced a new user-friendly cell phone rule in its November 2017 newsletter. “We have shared this with the students on multiple occasions and want to make sure that we are all on the same page,” the newsletter said. When students bring their phones to school, they should be set off and kept in their book bags during the school day. When riding the
bus, the students may use their phones for games or music only. There should be no calling, texting, photographing, or videotaping on the bus. While using their phones for games and music they must also have an earbud in one ear, leaving the other ear open for messages or announcements. If this rule is not followed, the school plans to be ban the use of phones on any school property.

TREATING CHRONIC DRY EYE
“Dry eye” occurs when eyes don’t produce enough tears or do not make the right kind of tears. When treating this problem, it’s important to know that tears are composed of three layers. The “oily” layer on the outside of the tear film makes the tear surface smooth and keeps tears from drying up too quickly. The middle “watery” layer cleans the eye, while the “mucous” layer on the inside of the tear film helps spread the watery layer over the eye’s surface. Because over-the-counter “artificial” tears come in different formulations of oil, water, and mucus, they might not work in all cases. If so, prescription eye drops work by helping the eyes make more of their own tears. Nearly five million Americans age 50 and older have clinically significant dry eye syndrome, and dry eyes affect nearly twice as many women as men. Surprisingly, watery eyes also can be a symptom of dry eye syndrome. This is because dryness on the eye’s surface sometimes will over-stimulate production of the watery component of your tears as a protective mechanism.

5 Medical Factors That Could Lead To Hearing Loss
While hearing loss is most commonly caused by prolonged exposure to loud noises – also referred to as sensorineural hearing loss – a number of medical conditions can lead to hearing impairment as well. Fortunately, some of these medical conditions are reversible, allowing hearing to become fully restored. Current research is finding strong associations between hearing loss and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, smoking, obesity and dementia. But many lesser-known conditions can impact your hearing health in potentially serious ways. Here are a few of them: 1. Blood Conditions: Poor blood flow is typically the result of circulatory system troubles and can restrict the flow of oxygen to the inner ear. Conditions affecting blood flow include sickle-cell anemia, diabetes and heart conditions. Things like high blood pressure, hypercoagulability and polycythemia can also cause blood related hearing loss. 2. Infections: Meningitis, a bacterial or fungal infection of the brain and spinal cord, can cause sudden hearing loss. Hearing loss is also a side effect of treatment of tuberculosis – though it is possible that the medication used in treatment is what causes the impairment. Both hearing loss and tinnitus are common side effects of Lyme disease (carried by ticks), as well as some STDs, like syphilis. 3. Disease: Ménière’s disease, a disorder of the fluids in the inner ear, is one of the most common causes of hearing loss. Its root is unknown, and the disease typically affects only one ear in individuals between ages 20 and 50. Other
issues known to affect hearing include hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid), kidney disease medications, Paget’s disease and autoimmune inner ear disease, which results in sudden onset hearing loss and must be treated as a medical emergency. 4. Hereditary Conditions: Hearing loss may run in your family. Some serious genetic disorders, such as Waardenburg syndrome, cause the head and internal organs to develop differently, which may result in hearing loss that is difficult to correct through treatment or surgery. Other conditions, like otosclerosis, affect the bones in the middle ear that conduct sound to the cochlea; some of these conditions are correctable with surgery. 5. Tumors and Cancer: Cancers of the head, neck or ear areas can affect the inner ear, but cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, are also notorious for causing hearing loss. Some recent research out of the U.K. suggests that aspirin can help prevent permanent hearing loss as a side effect of the cancer drug cisplatin, but further research is necessary. Acoustic neuromas and tumors that grow on the auditory nerve can cause hearing loss or tinnitus, and they may put pressure on the brain, leading to other conditions. Both are usually benign and can be removed surgically. Free Hearing Screening – Do you have a friend or family member who has complained of an inability to hear things as clearly as they once did? We’ll screen their hearing free of charge. Your referrals mean a healthier local community and healthier communities benefit everyone.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
The Secret Nutrient That Helps Graves’ Disease By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Graves’ disease leads to high levels of thyroid hormone, termed “hyperthyroidism” which is the opposite of hypothyroidism, a condition that I usually write about. Graves’ disease takes its name after the doctor who described it for the first time in 1835, Dr. Robert J. Graves and it affects 10 million people worldwide. It causes your immune system to produce antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland to make more thyroid hormone than you need. Doctors then seek to surgically cut out or burn (radiate) your thyroid gland to stop the outpouring of thyroid hormone. After that, you will take thyroid medicine at standard doses. Emerging research shows that deficiency of vitamin D is associated with this condition. It’s exciting. In a study published in Endocrine Journal (2012), scientists examined vitamin D levels in 26 women who had Graves’ disease. This data was compared with vitamin D levels in 46 healthy (non-afflicted) women meaning they had normal thyroid function and no signs of Graves’ disease. The vitamin D levels in women with Graves’ disease were considerably lower than the healthy participants. There was another research study and the levels of vitamin D in 208 Graves’ disease patients were assessed. They noticed that women were way more vitamin D deficient than men (38 percent to 17 percent). It’s an interesting gender difference to keep in mind. There’s also an interesting seasonal variation in vitamin D levels. As you would expect, the “sunshine” vitamin D levels were higher in summertime and relatively lower during
winter. If low levels of vitamin D contribute, cause or exacerbate Graves’ disease, could improving your vitamin D levels regulate thyroid metabolism? In 2014, researchers published a case study in the Clinical Medicine Insight about a woman in her 40s whose symptoms improved after vitamin D supplementation. She had complained of heart palpitations for the prior three months and finally came in to see her doctor. Her physical exam revealed an enlarged thyroid gland consistent with Graves’ disease. Lab tests checking for antibodies confirmed that she had Graves’ disease. Additionally, she had lower than optimal vitamin D levels. The patient was given a vitamin D supplement and as you might expect, improvement was confirmed though lab testing. It’s not that we have thousands of people from a large-scale test, but in my humble opinion, we have enough data here to make the case that D can support healthy antibody levels not only in Hashimoto’s, but also Graves’ disease. Why? Because we know that vitamin D is an immune-modulator. We know that it supports Th1 and Th2 immune functioning. As a perk, it could improve mood in people who feel gloomy and tearful during the cold months. Ask your doctor if it’s right for you even though it’s over-the-counter. Keep in mind that too much vitamin D could jack up levels of magnesium and calcium and adversely affect your heart rhythm. Don’t overdo it, and write me if you note improvement. I’d love to hear from you.

DEP: Homes Will Come To Eagle Ridge Golf Course
By Chris Lundy TRENTON – Fewer homes will be built as a result of the Department of Environmental Protection intent to settle with the developer of the Eagle Ridge golf course property. The DEP published an “intent to settle,” and is still taking comment from the public. The new plan would allow 517 residential units and 517 basement apartments, for a total of 1,034 units. Of the above-ground units, there would be 43 single-family units and 237 duplex units included in that total. There would also be five community center buildings, a clubhouse with amenities, a 23,387 square foot retail building and another 44,677 square-foot retail buildings. As part of the deal, .343 acres of isolated freshwater wetlands would be filled in, and 41.07 acres of existing forest preservation areas will remain preserved. An additional 1.94 acres of forest will be placed on a conservation restriction as part of the deal. Comments about this settlement, or requests for copies of the plan, should be sent to: Coastal Bureau Manager, Bureau of Coastal Regulation, Division of Land Use Regulation, NJDEP, Mail Code 501-02A, PO Box 420, Trenton, NJ 08625-0420, or the office may be reached by telephone: (609) 633- 2289. Comments must be received by Nov. 30, 2017. The initial plan was for 936 senior housing residences and 936 basement apartments. The DEP listed a number of problems the application had. Some of them involved
the amount of utilities that the development would require. Some involved the amount of open space it would use up and the impact on specific species. The traffic impact study was also singled out by the DEP as not being accurate. The applicant, GDMS Holdings, LLC, had appealed the denial, which resulted in this settlement. Environmentalists see this as a loss. “The NJDEP has sold out Lakewood, Barnegat Bay, and the environment to the developers once again,” said Jeff Tittel, Director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. “This project would have tremendous environmental impacts on water quality and traffic patterns. The same issues that originally caused the DEP to reject these permits still persist at this site. They will be building a massive high-intensity sprawling development on top of environmentally-sensitive land. This project would be an environmental disaster because the residents would experience flooding and pollution run-off into the Barnegat Bay.” Tittel, in a press release, went on to describe a list of violations in the application, including: traffic, too much impervious coverage, impact on species, stormwater management, and other environmental regulations. “The DEP admitted that the first application was a failure,” he said. “The DEP has failed to do its job by approving this project that threatens the environment and communities of Lakewood.”

Inside The Law Injured At Work?! Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Christopher R. Shea Esq. Robert C. Shea, II Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you’ve suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization.
Further, it is import- Christopher R. Shea Esq. ant to note another critical benefit of the Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case.

–Photos by Chris Lundy Steve Fusco’s replica of the car from Knight Rider greeted people outside the Pine Belt Arena. Cosplayers (costumed players) were in a costume contest, and were often seen posing for pictures. By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Batman was born when Bruce Wayne’s parents met their end in Crime Alley. Spider-Man was created when Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider. And the Superhero Superfest had its origin this year at what organizers say will be an annual event. The Pine Belt Arena, which is on the grounds of Toms River High School North, hosted the show. It was made up of dozens of tables and vendors surrounding audience seating for several events throughout the day. There were also separate areas for activities such as a Jedi Academy or a Hogwarts class. The vendors sold comics, of course, but also figurines and quite a bit of games. There were a lot of local businesses, such as insurance companies or travel agencies. The workers staffi ng those tables frequently wore costumes or engaged the public in comic-inspired games. There was a healthy amount of people in costume, and random attendees would
fl ag a cosplayer down to get a picture taken with them. An Artist’s Alley, made up of people making their own art and comics, was pretty busy during the day. Bill Barbato, events coordinator for Press Communications, which ran the show, said the convention will be the “fi rst of many.” He estimated more than 800 people in attendance. “It’s a great showing for a fi rst time event.” Their goal was to create a family-friendly event for children and adults to pursue their passions, and celebrate art and creativity, he said. The show advertised appearances by Fear The Walking Dead’s Danay Garcia, and footballers Sean Landeta, Eric Dorsey, and Stephen Baker. Unfortunately, one of the guests was not able to make it. Rene Auberjonois, best known in Sci-Fi circles for his role on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, called the showrunners and apologized profusely for being too ill to make the trip.

Simon’s Soup Kitchen To Hold Thanksgiving Day Feast
SEASIDE HEIGHTS – A traditional dinner of turkey, stuffing, and all the fixings, along with plenty of pies, will greet guests to Simon’s Soup Kitchen’s annual Thanksgiving Day dinner. This special dinner will take place on Nov. 23 from 2 to 3 p.m. at the Parish Center of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church on Grant Avenue. “This is an opportunity for those who
regularly come to our soup kitchen, as well as anyone else who would like to join us, to enjoy the food and fellowship that are so much a part of Thanksgiving,” said John Salemi, Sr. Executive Director, Simon’s Soup Kitchen. This special feast will be prepared and served by a dedicated group of more than 25 volunteers who lend their time on Thanks-
giving and throughout the year. “For many who can’t afford to prepare a meal of their own, this is an opportunity to share a traditional dinner with others,” said Salemi. “Each year, those who join us express their gratitude for such a hearty feast prepared by our volunteers. For each of us, it is a reminder of the many things for which we can be thankful.”
This special holiday dinner will be in addition to the normal serving schedule of operating every Tuesday and Friday evening from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. from October through April. Everyone in need of a hot meal is welcome. For more information on Simon’s Soup Kitchen visit simonssoupkitchen.org or call 732-270-5941.

Study Reveals Low Awareness Of Lifesaving Screenings Among Those At Greatest Risk
NEW JERSEY – Lung cancer is the nation’s leading cause of cancer death. According to the American Lung Association, screening can save thousands of lives, yet less than 5 percent of the estimated 9 million Americans considered “high risk” have been screened. In recognition of Lung Cancer Awareness Month this November, the American Lung Association’s LUNG FORCE initiative, nationally presented by CVS Health, remains committed to raising awareness of lung cancer and the benefits of early detection through lung cancer screening. The organization released fi ndings from its fourth annual Lung Health Barometer, which revealed critically low awareness of the lifesaving potential of lung cancer screening. The Lung Health Barometer is a survey designed to better understand what Americans know about lung cancer and lung cancer screening. This year’s survey included 1,400 people, both women and men and high-risk current and former smokers. Among the high-risk population, the survey revealed: 84 percent of high-risk Americans are unfamiliar with the only recommended lung cancer screening method available – the low-dose CT scan. Despite it potentially saving their lives, 41 percent of high-risk current and former smokers are not planning on getting screened for lung cancer. The top reason those at high risk for lung cancer are not getting screened is because their doctor never recommended it. Among the general population, the survey revealed: Only 3 percent of women cite lung cancer as a top-of-mind health concern, when in fact, one woman in the U.S. is diagnosed with lung cancer every 5 minutes. 87 percent of the general population is not familiar with the low-dose CT scan, the only approved lung cancer screening aimed at early detection. The majority of the general population (62 percent) believe that not enough is being done to raise awareness of lung cancer. The low-dose CT scan has the ability to save lives, and to raise public awareness about the new availability of screening for those considered at high risk, the American Lung Association recently partnered with the Ad Council to launch “Saved By The Scan.” “Saved By The Scan” is the fi rst national public service advertising (PSA) campaign that educates Americans on the benefits of early detection through lung cancer screening and encourages
high-risk individuals to take an online lung cancer screening eligibility quiz at SavedByTheScan.org. The low-dose CT scan is the only lung cancer screening tool that reduces the risk of dying from lung cancer by detecting lung cancer in the early stages, before symptoms arise, when the disease is more curable. “The availability of lung cancer screening presents a powerful opportunity to save lives and turn the tide against lung cancer. To make this a reality, we must do more to ensure that those at high risk are aware of screening and that it can save their lives,” said American Lung Association National President and CEO Harold P. Wimmer. “The American Lung Association is committed to defeating lung cancer, and this effort to raise awareness about screening is driven through our partnership with the Ad Council on the ‘Saved By The Scan’ campaign throughout Lung Cancer Awareness Month and beyond.” There are an estimated 9 million Americans who qualify as “high risk” for developing lung cancer and should talk to their doctor about screening. A person is considered high risk if they are between 55–80 years old, have a 30 pack-year history of smoking (this means one pack a day for 30 years, two packs a day for 15 years, etc.), and are a current smoker or have quit within the last 15 years. The new availability of the low-dose CT scan at no cost from Medicare and most healthcare plans is a powerful opportunity to save lives, because the key to defeating lung cancer is early detection. In fact, if the disease is caught before it spreads, the likelihood of surviving five years improves from 11 to 55 percent. If only half of the Americans at high risk were screened, about 15,000 lives would be saved. “I am honored to be a part of the ‘Saved by the Scan’ campaign to raise awareness of the low-dose CT scan among current and former smokers. It was by chance that I learned about this lifesaving technology and I could not be more grateful,” said Frank Flahive, a LUNG FORCE advocate and lung cancer survivor. “I am living proof that as a former smoker you can go from scan to cancer survivor – that’s the benefit of early detection with the lowdose CT scan. I encourage others who meet the screening criteria to discuss the scan with their doctors because it certainly saved my life.” To learn more about lung cancer and its risk factors, high-risk individuals are encouraged to take a lung cancer screening eligibility quiz at SavedByTheScan.org.

Big Hearts Needed To Make Little Hats
NEW JERSEY – Calling all knitters and crocheters. The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association is looking to empower new moms to take their family’s health to heart. Join volunteers from across New Jersey to celebrate American Heart Month by knitting or crocheting red hats for babies born in February at participating hospitals. The Little Hats, Big Hearts initiative gives new moms a free kit that includes a beautiful, handmade red hat, along with health information including tips on raising a healthy family, ways mom can take care of herself, heart-healthy recipes and information on children’s heart health. In 2017, over 2,200 Little Hats, Big Hearts kits were provided to new moms in New Jersey as they began their parenthood journey. This year, the American Heart Association’s goal is to send out over 2,500 Little Hats, Big Hearts kits to moms across the Garden State. The kits will be delivered at many New Jersey hospitals during February, which is also American Heart Month. “Our goal is to empower moms and babies with the information they need to live a heart healthy life from day one,” said Eileen Cardile, Chair of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association South, Central New Jersey Board and Senior Consultant at Numerof
and Associates. “It is inspiring to see the Garden State celebrate American Heart Month as we come together to build a culture of health.” Little Hats, Big Hearts raises awareness of heart disease, the number one killer of Americans, and congenital heart defects, the most common type of birth defect in the country. The initiative provides support to families all over New Hersey to live a heart healthy life. If you are a knitter or crocheter, the American Heart Association is seeking donations of red baby hats in both newborn sizes, made of yarn that is red, cotton or acrylic, medium to heavy weight, and machine washable and dryable. All donations are requested by December 31 and can be sent to the American Heart Association | American Stroke Association New Jersey office, Attn: Community Health at 1 Union St. Suite 301, Robbinsville, NJ 08691. For yarn specifics, hat patterns, or more information, visit heart.org/LittleHatsBigHearts.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of november 18 - november 24
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): One isn’t necessarily the loneliest number. Having some time to yourself may provide some muchneeded space and allow you to clear your head. Keep your money in the piggy bank unless it is absolutely necessary to spend it. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Maintain an eye for detail. Even the smallest improvement can make a world of difference, whether it is straightening out a picture or making decorative decisions. Your calm and objective demeanor makes you the perfect mediator. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Leave well enough alone. Back off if someone doesn’t want to discuss an issue as continual prying could create friction. Don’t assume that others’ lack of motivation puts you in charge or you will quickly be proven wrong. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Set the bar low. If you keep expectations within reason you won’t run any risk of being disappointed by the results. Focus on finishing tasks and tying up loose ends but avoid trying to start anything new. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t bet on it. Conditions may change such that what may at first seem like a sure thing could turn into a bum steer. Turn your energies toward honoring commitments and responsibilities but don’t add anything new to your plate. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Even at a bargain price, a useless item is still useless. Don’t get so caught up in a sales pitch that you forget that the best way to save money is to not spend it. Keep spending at a minimum until later in the week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Let the chips fall where they may. Trying to manipulate a situation to your benefit could have dire consequences so allow events to unfold naturally. Romantic pursuits may not be particularly inspiring but patience will pay off. SCORPIO (Oct. 23- Nov. 21): There is a time and a place for everything. While your heart may yearn for romance you brain should be telling you there is much to be done. Prioritize tasks in order of importance and save flights of fancy for later in the week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22- Dec. 21): Keep your ears open. Listening to what somewhat else has to say could shed valuable light on a situation that may have been problematic for you. When shopping, your policy should be look but don’t touch. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 19): Make sure that the only toes that you’re standing on are your own. Offering criticism or unsolicited help to someone may breed more contempt than appreciation. You’ll get a lot more done if you work on your own. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb. 18): Don’t take it personally. Someone else’s rotten mood could be contagious if you allow them to get under your skin. You may find that you are far more productive when you tackle projects by yourself rather than in a group. PISCES (Feb. 19- Mar. 20): Be logical, not emotional. Sometimes, when you are faced with horrible choices, it may be better to make no decision at all rather than a poor one. Taking the road less-traveled may lead you to someplace exciting and new.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen It’s Not Too Soon To Start Talking Turkey For Thanksgiving
By Wolfgang Puck
After I moved to the United States in 1973, one of the many interesting American phrases I learned about was “to talk turkey.” I discovered it traced all the way back to colonial times, and most explanations suggest it was first spoken by a Native American after a settler he had gone hunting with tried, with some deceitful talking, to cheat him out of the larger of the two game birds they had bagged together. So, “talk turkey” generally means to get right to the point. And those words start taking on a very literal meaning now, with Thanksgiving just a couple of weeks away. I think it’s very important to talk about your Thanksgiving turkey as soon as possible for two key reasons. Knowing how you plan to cook the bird will help you plan all the other dishes you’ll be serving before, alongside, and after it. It also makes good sense to order your turkey as soon as possible to make sure you get a fresh one that’s the right size - count on around 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) per person, which will also give you some leftovers - as well as properly raised, grain-fed, humanely processed, and free of artificial ingredients such as preservatives or food coloring. As you’ll see from the following recipe, these days I generally like to cook a turkey fairly simply. Instead of brining it overnight, which for most people can be an inconvenient process, I take more basic measures to ensure tender, juicy results. I spread a quickly prepared butter, seasoned with fresh rosemary, under the skin covering the breast, which helps keep the leaner white meat from drying out during the long roasting process. I also place the turkey on top of a bed of aromatic vegetables, which helps the oven’s heat circulate evenly under the bird while it cooks while also flavoring the juices that collect in the roasting pan. And, following an initial 45 minutes of undisturbed roasting time, I baste the turkey every 20 minutes with the flavorful pan juices, helping to keep the meat moist while also promoting a deep golden-brown skin. Speaking of moisture, I think a little sauce served with the carved turkey is an ideal way to add extra juicy flavor to every single bite. One of my favorite sauces is based on the widely available bottled juice of pomegranates, a fruit in season right now whose deep ruby color and tangy, tart-sweet flavor is perfect for an autumn feast. I hope my recipe inspires lots of happy talk about the turkey around your Thanksgiving table this year. RO SEM A RY BU T T ER- BA ST E D WHOLE ROASTED TURKEY WITH POMEGRANATE SAUCE Serves 12 1 whole turkey, about 20 pounds (10 kg) 1/2 pound (250 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature 3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 large yellow onions, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) chunks 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) chunks 4 large celery stalks, trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks 4 cloves garlic, peeled 1 cup (250 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 2 to 4 cups (500 ml to 1 L) chicken stock or broth 1 cup (250 m L) bot tled unsweetened pomegranate juice 1 cup (250 mL) pomegranate seeds, removed from a whole fruit yourself, or purchased a ready extracted and packaged Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Remove the neck, giblets and liver from the turkey’s cavity. Rinse inside and out with cold running water and pat dry. In a small mixing bowl, mash together the butter, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste. At the neck opening of the bird, carefully insert your fingers to separate the turkey’s breast skin from the meat; spread the butter mixture in between. Rub the turkey inside and out with salt and pepper. Spread the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, giblets, neck and liver on the bottom of a roasting pan large enough to hold the turkey. Place the turkey on top. Rub the turkey with 1 cup of olive oil. Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven. Roast for 45 minutes, then begin basting every 20 minutes, adding chicken stock to the pan as needed to keep the vegetables from burning. Roast the turkey for between 15 minutes and 20 minutes per pound (500 g) until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh meat without touching bone registers at least 165 F (74 C) and no more than 180 F (82 C). Remove the pan from the oven, loosely cover the turkey with foil, and leave it in a warm place to rest until serving. Meanwhile, place the roasting pan over two burners on the stovetop. Add the pomegranate juice to the pan and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan deposits. Carefully pour the liquid through a wire-mesh strainer into a saucepan and, with a ladle, skim off excess fat from the surface. Simmer over medium-high heat until the sauce has thickened slightly; transfer to a sauceboat and keep warm. Transfer the turkey to a carving board. Using a sharp carving knife, cut off the legs and thighs, moving them to locate the joins and then carefully cut through the joints; cut off the meat in slices parallel to the bone. Starting along the high point of the breastbone, carefully cut downward following the ribs to completely cut off one side of the breast; then, place it on the cutting board and cut crosswise into thick slices. Transfer the slices to individual heated serving plates and garnish each serving with some sauce and a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds.
