Manchester Wants To Know Who Is Soliciting
By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – The Township Council has changed its solicitation ordinance to get a better idea of who is canvassing neighborhoods. Solicitors will continue to be bound by the “no knock” ordinance. They will still have to be licensed. The major changes involve the information they need to provide in order to get that license. The ordinance states that when making an application, the applicant’s name, description, and address/headquarters must be used. If it is a company, then the company’s leaders must be named. Other information required is a brief statement about the business, vehicle description and license plate numbers. Applicants will be fingerprinted and a background check will be performed. The police chief has to sign off on the individual. The new ordinance lists a variety of offenses that would prevent someone from being given a license, including violent crimes and drugs. The license can be removed if there are a lot of residents with legitimate complaints about

No Jersey Shore COLLEGE CORNER Filming Permits Yet Georgian Court Tops Tournament
By Chris Lundy NEWARK - While the makers of the Jersey Shore show have announced a reunion show, the New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission has said that there have not been any permits filed with them yet. Steve Gorelick, executive director of the commission, said that there has been no formal permit or contact made by the producers of the Jersey Shore. They are not required by law to go through the state commission, however, they most likely will. They have done
so historically, he said. The commission assists production companies in finding locations, staff, and resources, as well as helping as a liaison to local authorities and the public, he explained. Film and television production can be very lucrative for the state, he said. Host towns benefit from extra business during a shoot and tourism after a show airs. In one year, New Jersey benefited to the tune of $140 million. “Ocean County has been par ticularly proactive” in (Filming - See Page 4)

Page 4, The Manchester Times, December 9, 2017 Recently, the producers of Jersey Shore attempted to have a reunion special filmed in Seaside Heights on Memorial Day weekend, he said. However, they were not forthcoming in specifically what they wanted to fi lm and where. They were asked to provide that information and they never did. The borough has altered their ordinance for fi lming, but not entirely because of Jersey Shore. There was also a reality
show that was advertising auditions at the Bamboo Bar in February. Auditions were scheduled without the borough officials being informed. It never got fi lmed. Now, there is a more formal process for production companies to go through that mirrors those in larger cities, he said. Things have changed in the days since a Jersey Shore cast member was found guilty of causing a public disturbance. The application process makes it clear
that if a fi lm studio is trying to fi lm between Memorial Day and Labor Day, they will probably not be approved, he said. Additionally, borough officials are to be made aware in writing of specific public areas that would be used for fi lming. “It’s a very strong ordinance. It gives the town authority over where and when fi lming can happen,” he said. Representatives from MTV did not return a request to comment by press time.
Soliciting:
mits can’t even be transferred between employees of the same company. There wasn’t an incident that triggered these specific changes, business administrator Donna Markulic said. The “no knock” ordinance was started years ago due to unwanted solicitors going door-to-door, and even managing to make it into the gated communities,
she said. These changes are the next steps in the process to protect residents. The ordinance allows the following people to continue to visit homes: • Nonprof it s whose money goes to charity • Public utilities that have their identification • Companies making visits or deliveries
that the resident ordered • Government canvassers When it comes to private streets, such as the ones in certain developments, the management has the choice of whether this ordinance applies. Even if a solicitor has a license from the town, they still need permission from the management of the community.
Lakes:
the water can’t move as frequently, it gets stagnant and heats up in the sun, forming conditions for bacteria to grow. “Pine Lake has been closed for years and we don’t want that to happen to Harry Wright,” she said. Harry Wright Lake is joined via underground pipes to another body of water at a lower elevation, she explained. There is a dam between them. When the lake needs to be drained, some of the boards forming the dam are removed, causing the lake to drain. The lake then refills naturally.
engaging the entertainment industry to work in the area, he said. The original show came to Seaside Heights in 2009, and had several spinoffs. Seaside Heights borough administrator Christopher Vaz said that the producers have not submitted an application.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL A Simpler Time In Politics With the recent death of Robert Laird, the former mayor of Berkeley, people recalled a simpler time when politics weren’t so cutthroat. The same was said when former Toms River mayor Roden Lightbody died. W hy w a s p ol it ic s s o much different then? Civic debate has eroded steadily over time. Keyboard warriors and the internet has accelerated this. A nd I doubt I’m making an ear th-shattering declaration if I said the 2016 presidential election was probably the most brutal yet. Politics on the national stage has trickled down into local politics. People see an R or a D after a name and assume that they are exactly the same as every other Republi-
can or Democrat. Whether you feel that Trump is the first president to finally say and d o wh at eve r yo ne i s th i n k i ng, or you feel that he spends too much time on Golf Cart One, Tweeting nonsense, you have to at least talk to the people who feel the other way. Talk, not shout. Af ter all, you can’t convi nce someone of your opinion if they are on the defensive. We have lost the ability to discuss issues based on fa c t s whe n eve r y Facebook post is carefully constructed to appeal to our emotions. Winning an argument has become more important than being factual. Chris Lundy News Editor

Letters To The Editor Great Support for Fallen Officer The Berkeley Township Police Department would like to thank everyone who was there for us as we mourned the death of our officer, Sgt. Alison Wray. Thank you for the outpouring of support from our local businesses that donated and fundraised for the family of Sgt. Wray. The local shop owners gave their time and business for her. This was amazing. Thank you to the local fire departments and first aid squads who arrived in droves to honor our fallen officer and flew the colors of our nation high above, in the ultimate show of respect for her. Thank you to our brothers and sisters in blue who were by our side, “watching our 6” by covering policing in Berkeley Township so our department, in its entirety, could pay their last respects to Sgt. Alison Wray. Thank you to the officers who stood shoulder to shoulder with us and shared in our pain and sadness. Thank you to the officers who stood silent and unwavering in the freezing cold and blustery wind to salute one of their own. We remind ourselves that they did this, not because they knew Sgt. Wray, but because they “are” her. That’s what the police profession is: noble and honorable. Everyone who puts on a uniform or wears a shield knows very well how life can change in a matter of seconds. This is the reality of our line of work.

Dinosaur Facts Debated I have read, with great interest, the story published on the “Bayville Dinosaur” which appeared in the October 28th edition of The Berkeley Times. Over the past two years, this widely renowned landmark has certainly received its fair share of press coverage, mostly due to neglect of its slowly deteriorating condition and the possibility of, somehow, getting it restored to its former grandeur. Also much press coverage dwelt on its past history; when was it brought here, who built it, where it came from, and so on. As a result of all this interest, a lot of new factual information has been learned relative to its past. Two of the most important finds were newspaper articles about the dinosaur discovered in the October 3, 1935 edition of The Red Bank Register and the May 17, 1949 edition of The Asbury Park Press. Based on these articles, as well as other sources (title searches, etc.), there is some information provided in that “Bayville dinosaur” story that begs clarification. 1) The Berkeley Times “Bayville Dinosaur” story states that it came from Howell. In the October 17, 1947 Asbury Park Press interview, Mr. Farrow told the APP reporter that the place he bought it from was in Freehold. 2) The source of The Berkeley Times story related,
World’...,” implying that it was used in some manner in the actual filming of the movie. It was not, as one can readily see if they watch the film. The 1935 article simply states that its former owner “...bought it from the moving picture “The Lost World.”” Why he did will never be known for certain. 3) There was no mention of Mr. Farrow paying $5 for the dinosaur, or any amount for that matter, in either the 1935 or 1949 newspaper articles. Some clarification from your source of information for this dollar amount would be appreciated. 4) The Berkeley Times source for the story states that a Mr. Fred Brzozowski bought the property the dinosaur is on from Mr. Farrow in 1961. A title search indicates that Mr. Brzozowski and his wife, Millicent, purchased the property on October 3, 1955, not from Mr. Farrow, but from Stanley and Jadwiga Kupa, who had bought that property from Mr. Farrow on December 18, 1950. Following the sale of the property to the Kupa’s, Mr. Farrow no longer owned the dinosaur. 5) The Berkley Times story also states that Mr. Brzozowski was the owner who added the lighted green eyes and red mouth. In The Red Bank Register interview of 1949, Mr. Farrow told the reporter he was the one who installed the green lights in the eyes and red light in the mouth. Each of the above noted five discrepancies: where the dinosaur came from; its role in the filming of “The Lost World” movie; the alleged amount Mr. Farrow paid for it; the date Mr. Brzozowski bought it and from whom; and who initially installed the lighted eyes and mouth. These are all a part of the dinosaur’s “pedigree.” It is important for factual information to be reported by the various decimators of newsworthy stories and events. Perhaps your source could clarify the information related in the October 28, 2017 Berkeley Times’ story on Bayville’s most important “claim-to-fame” and the story could be republished with the necessary corrections.

Jersey Central Power and Light donated $10,000 to Advancing Opportunities to help individuals with disabilities become more independent in a safe and nurturing environment. Advancing Opportunities is a non-profit organization and “one of the leading disability service providers in the state of New Jersey,” according to their website. With this donation from JCP&L, the two organizations worked together to create a home that will make living life easier, and more independent, for individuals with autism. “It is a crossover from the consumer to the home,” said Jack Mudge, CEO of Advancing Opportunities. Mudge said that the smart home transforms the way that staff has been helping those with disabilities become more independent by taking it from an individual consumer level, to a much larger scale. The g roup home is equipped with push-buttons that operate the doors from both inside and out and has voice activation in the form of a Google Home that helps individuals turn the television or the lights on or off from wherever they are. Accented with carpet on the lower half of the walls, the home protects itself from damage in the
event that a wheelchair or other device bumps into it. The inside of the house has no floor moldings so that the floor is perfectly flat; this helps people avoid tripping, falling, or not being able to ride over the moldings in a wheelchair. The back and front of the house are outfitted with wheelchair ramps that travel directly to the doors. The bathroom is also enhanced by a new kind of shower system that allows a staff member to set the temperature of the water, so one need only push a button to take a shower at the desired temperature. For extra safety, there are supportive handicap bars installed in the bathroom as well as an overhead lift installed throughout the hallways and bedrooms to help the residents get around without worry. Sensors in every door, window, and bed allow staff members to know when someone gets up or where they are going within the house. This feature is what helps Advancing Opportunities’ trained staff stay aware of the status of the disabled individuals in the house. As Mudge noted, it takes a highly trained staff to keep watch and take care of the individuals in the group home before they adapt to being more independent. The goal of the group home is to provide individuals with the opportunity to become more independent in a safe place, while also letting them control their
environment, according to Mudge. JCP&L helped host the open-house and vice president of external affairs, John Anderson, provided a few opening remarks before Advancing Opportunities personnel gave a short tour of the home. “We are thrilled to be partnering with Advancing Opportunities…It is very inspiring,” said Anderson. Anderson also noted that what was so special about the event was the feeling that Advancing Opportunities provides of turning a house into a home. Included in the $10,000 donation from JCP&L were holiday lights and decorations for the house, to provide a cheerful holiday atmosphere for those about to reside in this new home. “JCP&L did a beautiful job lighting the house,” said Mudge. Anderson mentioned that this would not be JCP&L’s last effort to work with Advancing Opportunities. “This is an ongoing collaborative effort,” said Anderson. JCP&L plans to collaborate with Advancing Opportunities on more group home projects in the future and Advancing Opportunities is going to be completing another smart group home in Lincoln Park, come next week. Part of the significance of this first ever smart group home is to be used as a test model for future endeavors, according to Mudge.

Ocean County Sheriff ’s Annual Toy Drive Returns
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Sheriff’s Department’s Annual Toy Drive is upon us once again. Just like in years past, the toy drive invites everyone come out for a good cause and be a part of the joy of giving, during the holiday season. This drive collects toys for boys and girls of all ages and distributes them to families in need during the holidays. Every child, no matter how old, loves to open up a brand new gift on Christmas morning. You can help make this a reality by dropping off new or unwrapped toys to any of the toy bin locations provided by County. The children in need will no doubt light up at the sight of your generous donation, when the toys are scheduled to be delivered on Dec. 16 and 17. Last year, the drive supplied toys to more than 900 children throughout the County, according to Sheriff Michael Mastronardy. This year, the Sheriff noted that the drive is especially in need of toys for children ages 10-15. “It’s gratifying that so many people in the
past have donated and helped. We are hoping to see the same response this year in helping our neighbors,” said Mastronardy. So fill up your sleigh and ride it over to any of the various drop-off locations all over Ocean County before Dec. 20! These toy drop-off locations include: Ocean County Clerk’s Office, Ocean County Courthouse, Ocean County One Stop Center, Ocean County Administration Building, Ocean County Southern Service Center, County Connection and the Ocean County Training Center. You can also drop toys off at any branch of the Ocean County Library that is closest to you. “The county staff is helping to make a difference this holiday season,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joe Vicari. “We are collectively asking the citizens to do what they can to help.” For those residents that might be in need of some assistance with toys this Christmas, don’t hesitate to register by filling out the Sheriff’s Toy Drive Application Form by Dec. 13. For more information, call 732-929-2161.

Driver Rescued From Burning Vehicle In County Rt. 530 Crash
By Kimberly Bosco MANCHESTER – Police continue to explore the causes of a fiery car accident on County Route 530. On the morning of Nov. 28, 37-year-old, Joshua Kenny of Whiting was driving westward on County Route 530 when he veered off the road, colliding with a street sign and a utility pole near America’s Keswick, according to police officials. Kenny’s car landed, overturned, on the shoulder of Country Route 530 after the collision before bursting into flames. When the Manchester Police Department arrived, they were successfully able to retrieve Kenny from his car while dousing some of the flames. Kenny has been taken to Jersey Shore Medical Center for treatment and was labeled in
serious condition. While police have already determined that Kenny was unrestrained during the incident, the cause of the crash is still under investigation by Sgt. Antonio Ellis of the Manchester Police Traffic Safety Section and Ptl. Brian Collins of the Manchester Police Patrol Bureau, according to police officials.

Holiday Crackdown On Impaired Driving
By Kimberly Bosco LAKEHURST – As a part of the annual “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign, Lakehurst Police will be cracking down on impaired driving during the month of December. From Dec. 8 to Jan. 1, law enforcement will be on the lookout more than ever for drivers impaired by drugs or alcohol in order to promote safe driving habits and keep other motorists and residents safe from the danger of impaired drivers. Saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints will be manned by law enforcement officials to test motorists on their level of sobriety. These checkpoints will help police take a more active and engaged role in tackling the pervasive issue of impaired driving. “During the last five years New Jersey has experienced nearly 40,000 alcohol in-
volved crashes resulting in more than 750 fatalities,” said Lakehurst Police Chief Eric Higgins. “This is a critical law enforcement program that can save lives during a time of the year when impaired driving traditionally increases by nearly 10 percent.” The campaign focuses on educating the public about the many dangers of impaired driving, while encouraging stricter law enforcement by officials, in order to drastically decrease the number of incidents caused by drunk driving throughout the year. Lakehurst Police has received a grant from the New Jersey Highway Traffic Safety to help them reach this goal by funding overtime patrols. Law enforcement officials recommend you take mass transit or a cab, have a designated driver, or stay the night if intoxicated.

MANCHESTER – Ridgeway Elementary School now has a stateof-the-art STEAM Lab, thanks to a $15,000 grant from the Manchester Township Educational Foundation. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math and the lab is outfitted with tools and equipment that will allow students to fully explore these subjects. At a recent open house event to introduce the lab to the public, students and visitors tested out robots, learning software, building blocks, electronics kits, and more. The lab is located in what was previously the school’s computer lab, which had been underutilized since the school purchased classroom Chromebooks several years ago. The static rows of desktop computer stations have been replaced by innovative workstations and equipment that enables students to get creative and demonstrate the scientific method through teamwork, problem solving and abstract thinking. Ridgeway technology teacher, Jamie Velazquez, and media specialist, Raquel Bachonski, wrote the grant proposal with teacher Crystal Policastro. They proposed a lab space that uses a multi-sensory approach to reach all learners and inspire even the most apprehensive students to grow and learn through exploration. “The environment is designed to foster innovation and creativity,” said Velazquez. “Our STEAM Lab is a space where our students can become risk-takers, scientists, and critical thinkers while solving real world problems.” The most popular items at the open house were the robots and the 3D Doodler station. Students used computer tablets to control several different robots, making them move around the room, play music on a xylophone, and dance. A cute, bright blue plastic robot named ‘Dash’ consists of three rolling spheres on the base and another sphere on top that represents its head, with a single large eye that lights up. It comes with several attachments, including the xylophone. The 3D Doodler pen looks similar to a hot glue gun. It dispenses colorful plastic that dries instantly and can be used to create 3D objects. Also popular were the electronics kits. Squishy Circuits uses wires connected through clay to complete circuits to power a fan, a whistle, a light and more. Makey-Makey uses objects such as a banana or even your body to conduct electricity and make connections that trigger actions on a computer program, for instance playing music. Other stations include Lego Mindstorm, a 3-D printer, puppet theater, blocks and blueprints, spiral art, pipe builders, and Makedo connectors for

The grant proposal stated that the lab would help the school meet changing New Jersey Student Learning Standards and Next Generation Science Standards that call for a more hands-on approach for authentic (real world) learning and an emphasis on college and career readiness. Velazquez and Bachonski said that teachers are eager to try out the lab and to learn about ways they can use it with their students. The students, of course, are even more excited to begin regular visits to the lab. Ridgeway Principal Nikki Mazur said she feels like it is a very exciting time at Ridgeway this year, with many new programs like the STEAM lab. “On behalf of our entire school community, I would like to thank the Manchester Township Educational Foundation for funding this extraordinary learning space for our students.” A video of the lab at work can be seen at youtu. be/Dn17Lr65x4o

Gun Privileges Should Cross State Lines As a professional Merchant Marine Officer living in New Jersey, I spend a good deal of time traveling. I may go throughout New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine, to name some of my favorites. I
have no issue driving through these states, but my rights are stifled when I do so. Congressman Smith can help put an end to that miscarriage of justice. Bringing a fi rearm from New Jersey (one of the most caustic states when it comes to gun rights) through New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts is a stressful situation. Though protected under federal law, people are unlawfully arrested when doing so. I have

four different CCW permits that allow me to carry in 36 states – just not in the state I live nor the majority of the states I visit. At any time, I could be subject to arrest if a peace officer wants to ignore federal law, which happens in New York and New Jersey quite often. When it comes to concealed carry, the natural inalienable right to self-defense, our rights do not dissipate once we step out of our home. The 2008 Supreme Court
case DC v. Heller plainly states that the 2nd Amendment stands for exactly what it says: that it is the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms. States like ours choose to ignore Heller and narrowly interpret it to mean we can only keep our fi rearm at home. Because of a patchwork of laws, people fall victim to costly court cases and unjust imprisonments because they don’t know to understand that freedoms die when you travel to states like New Jersey, Maryland, or New York. To cite the most notorious example, I suggest the case of Shaneen Allen; a woman who was arrested for believing that her Pennsylvania concealed carry license was valid in New Jersey. In short, a professional woman in the medical field traveling to Atlantic City was pulled over and informed the officer of her pistol. She thought she was doing the right thing, however, she thought wrong. Allen was arrested and thrown in jail. This woman was vetted through extensive background checks to receive her fi rearm and carry permit. Case after case in New Jersey involved unjust arrests and many of these people were only vindicated by gubernatorial pardons, as is true of Allen’s case. But people don’t have to suffer like Shaneen. HR 38, The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, will allow anyone with a valid concealed carry permit to carry their firearm while traveling to other states. And why shouldn’t they? They’ve proven to be safe, responsible gun owners in their home state and will be safe, responsible gun owners while traveling to other locations. More importantly, good people like Shaneen Allen will never fall victim to New Jersey’s laws if HR 38 becomes the law of the land. The 2015 murder of Carol Bowne is a testament to the fact unjust laws can have fatal consequences. Carol was stalked and harassed by her ex. In an attempt to protect herself, she fi led police reports, took out restraining orders, and applied for a gun permit. Under New Jersey law, the town has 30 days to issue such permits. Carol was stabbed to death 42 days later; her application still being processed. This is a total and complete travesty. We now have the opportunity to return rights to the 12,000 concealed carry permit holders of New Jersey who want to protect their families while away from home. Congressman Tom MacArthur had the fortitude to do what is right and co-sponsor HR 38. He is following his oath to protect the constitution. As a landowner in Ocean and Monmouth County and a voter in Monmouth County, I’m urging Representative Chris Smith to also do what is right and co-sponsor this bill. Congressman Smith, you swore an oath to protect the constitution and to serve the citizens of New Jersey. Do what is right and serve them well by supporting HR 38. Turn your back on the archaic ways of New Jersey and support the law-abiding constituents of your district. John J. Petrolino III US Merchant Marine Officer Howell

Walking down grocery store aisles or through the mall is upsetting? 4. Your feet just won’t go where you
want them to go? 5. A sense of unsteadiness? 6. A fear of falling or stumbling? 7. Looking at moving objects such as escalators or moving cars makes you queasy? 8. Difficulty keeping your balance? 9. A feeling like you are drifting or being pulled to one side when walking? 10. No one really understands how frustrating all this is? If you have answered “yes” to one or more of these questions, you should consider having a complete vestibular and equilibrium evaluation.

Heart-Healthy Holiday Tips
ROBINSVILLE – The holidays are a time for celebrating with family and friends, but often stress inhibits our abilities to enjoy the holiday season. From shopping to cooking to events, we are often packing our schedules while forgetting about our health. A 2016 report in the Journal of the American Heart Association noted that heart-related deaths spike during Christmas. While more research is needed to pinpoint the exact reason, researchers suggest that emotional stress, changes in diet and alcohol consumption, less staff at medical facilities and changes in physical environment (i.e. visiting relatives), could play a role in the spike in deaths. In order to protect your heart and enjoy more holidays with your loved ones, follow these tips to stay healthy and happy this season: Maintain healthy habits, such as eating healthy, balanced meals, moving more every day, and getting at least seven hours of sleep each night. Beware of party perils and try eating a
healthy snack before a party to avoid overindulging. Give yourself the gift of peace; if you start to feel overwhelmed, recharge by doing something that relaxes you. Make a plan for the New Year and challenge yourself with realistic, sustainable goals for a healthy, happy new year. While avoiding stress and making good choices can help prevent heart disease and stroke (the nation’s No. 1 and No. 5 killers) it’s still important to know what to do if you or a loved one experiences the signs and symptoms of heart attack, stroke or cardiac arrest. If you or a loved one experiences the warning signs of heart attack, stroke or cardiac arrest, call 9-1-1 immediately. For more healthy living tips, visit the new Healthy For Good website at healthyforgood. org. For more information about heart attack, stroke and cardiac arrest, visit heart.org/ warningsigns.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Measure Reverse T3 And Get Thyroid Healthy!
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I bet you know how hypothyroidism means reduced level of thyroid hormone. Active thyroid hormone is dubbed as “T3.” But you probably have not heard of reverse T3. Today I’m going to tell you why you should never ignore reverse T3 testing, even if your endocrinologist does. First the basics. The hormone called T3 gives you energy, it’s sometimes called the gas pedal in your body. Reverse T3 abbreviated as rT3, would then be the brakes. You sometimes want the brakes don’t you? Or else your body will speed down the highway and zoom out of control, so rT3 is required as part of the push-pull balancing system. So IMHO, not testing for rT3 levels is an oversight. If you’re rT3 dominant, you’re clinically hypothyroid, stressed, anxious, overweight, tired and cold! The scary part is that your TSH and your Free and/or Total T4 levels might be in perfect range. How would know you were rT3 dominant unless you were tested. I’m making a good case here aren’t I? Thyroid hormone regulation influences your weight and metabolism meaning how fast you burn off that Figgy Pudding. It is responsible for mitochondrial production of ATP, so ask yourself if you’re tired all the time. By the way, I have a much longer and comprehensive medical article that gives you much more information about rT3 and thyroid. This version includes ways on how to Lower rT3 naturally and get slim and gorgeous again. I’m happy to email it via
my newsletter if you sign up for that at my website suzycohen.com. In the meantime, do you have: 1. Low T3 If you have too little Free T3 relative to T4, you get hypothyroidism. Therefore, you experience weight gain, fatigue, joint and muscle pain, depression, and a tendency to feel cold . 2. High rT3 Too much reverse T3 and you get the same effects as hypothyroidism (low T3) because the high rT3 blocks the cell’s ability to bind active T3. If you have high levels of rT3, I suggest you do NOT use the T4 drugs (Levothyroxine is the generic), because it tends to break down into even more rT3 (as opposed to T3). As a result, some of you still feel awful and hypothyroid, even though you take your medicine, and never miss a dose. What if rT3 is high? What if your TSH is normal but you still feel terrible? I’ve covered this entirely in my book, Thyroid Healthy. I’ll nutshell it for you here by recommending that you talk to your physician about switching medications, and use with that contains T3. I think adaptogenic herbs can help, specifically ones that activate T4 to T3, for example ashwagandha. I’d consult the oracle Dr. Google (lol!) and learn as much as possible about this little gland. It’s good to bind heavy metals, another cause for elevated rT3. And finally, there are specific B vitamins and minerals, as well as vitamin D that help reduce rT3 and raise Free T3.

OCC Foundation Kicks Off Its Annual Scholarship Appeal
TOMS RIVER – People do remember dreaming about what they wanted to be when they grew up? Perhaps, they know how it feels to struggle to pay tuition bills.

for not only students but businesses and residents as well. “Becoming a collegiate student-athlete had been a goal of mine for many years. However, the balance between school, sports, and working two jobs, while serving as President of the Student Government, was becoming very stressful. The fi nancial aid provided by the Foundation
through its generous support has allowed me to fulfi l my dreams, focusing more on what is important to me at OCC,” explained Kyle Unger, OCC Student. For many Ocean County College students, they dream of a college education and career. They want to begin their journey, but fi nancially, it doesn’t seem like an option. But there is hope.

Ocean County Arts HS Students Showcased In Exhibit
LACEY – Amid all the excellent books libraries have to offer, eyes may need a rest and gravitate to artwork hung proudly in the building. This artwork, including paintings and drawings created by Ocean County Arts High School students, will be on display at the Lacey Branch of the Ocean County Library, 10 East Lacey Rd, for the month of December. The exhibit features work completed by gifted and talented students who participated in the Ocean County Arts High School. The program, now in its eighth year, offers advanced arts classes to students from public, private and home schools in Ocean County. Students, admitted to the program through audition, are released from their schools one afternoon each week during the spring semester to participate in the various courses that are taught by professional artists. Works from seven Ocean County students were selected for this year’s exhibit. These students are: Caitlin Bonifacio, Toms River HS North, Micaila D’Angelico, Lacey Township HS, Victoria Farulla, Toms River HS East, Hoyerel Hernandez, Lakewood HS, Justice Moich, Brick Twp. HS, Jennifer Romero-Flores, Lakewood HS, and Meghan Santiago, Jackson Liberty HS.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
How To Tell Grandma We Don’t Want Nathan
Dear Joel, My husband and I are expecting our first baby in March. We couldn’t be more excited or happy. We’ve been looking forward to parenthood and my mother-in-law is also looking forward to becoming a grandma. She is a delightful lady but she has all but insisted on naming our child. She keeps talking about little Nathan, buying beautiful clothes and toys for little Nathan, the problem is I don’t want to name my child Nathan. Nathan is a nice name but not the name we want. What can my husband and I do? ANSWER: Wow, she really leapfrogged over some of the small decisions and went straight to one of the big ones. My answer is no, she can’t name your child. You have to tell her that Nathan is a wonderful name, but not your choice. I wonder if the real reason she is suggesting a name is that
she se c retly fears that you and her son may forget about her once the baby is born. If she can give your child his name, she will extend some kind of influence over your new family. Assure her that she is so very important to you, now and once the baby is born. Thank her abundantly for her gifts and good wishes. Give her a job like maybe organizing the shower or helping you decorate the nursery. You may just find that she will worry more about those things than your baby’s name. Congratulations and good health and prosperity to your new family. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

Toms River Police Probe Car Burglaries
By Jason Allentoff TOMS RIVER – Do you lock your vehicle after parking it? No? Why not!? You should, especially in Toms River where police are issuing yet another common sense reminder. They are also asking the public’s help to identify a man seen on surveillance video burglarizing several cars. Toms River Police Spokesman Ralph Stocco said the unidentified suspect was seen entering the vehicles in the Tallymawr development back on November 13. In addition cars parked on Benjamin Street and Brentwood Avenue were also a target. Police believe the suspect was driving a light-colored Chevy Tahoe or a Yukon and the molding on the driver’s side was missing. In the surveillance images, the man was seen wearing a hooded sweatshirt, ripped jeans and light colored shoes. There was

Home Decor Craft Club Seeks New Members
WHITING – Home Decor and More is a craft club located in Crestwood Village V, 325 Schoolhouse Road, in the BC Room. Home Decor and More meets the first and third Monday and every Tuesday of the month from 1 to 4 p.m. Mondays and the third Tuesday are scrapbook days. If you
have pictures you want to put in an album, members can show you how to preserve them for future generations. On Tuesdays members work on general crafts, some that are easy and some that are more complicated. Many materials are supplied by the club. On the last Tuesday of each month, a short
meeting is held and then there is extra time to finish a project, make a card or just socialize. Membership is $5 a year and $1 each week. This helps to offset the cost of materials, cookies and coffee, which are provided every week. If you are new to the area, come and join
the club, which is open to everyone, and a friendly group of ladies looking to expand club membership. Projects for May include making a general card and scrapbooking. If you would like more information, call Maureen at 732-849-5092 or 973-626-3704 and please leave a message.

Inside The Law How To Work Towards A Successful Approval Of Your Land Use Application
Robert C. Shea Esq.
18 Butler Blvd • Bayville 732-237-2220
By Dina M. Vicari Esq, of R.C. Shea and Associates
If you are looking to rebuild after Superstorm Sandy, improve your home with an addition, second floor or just the installation of a swimming pool, deck or shed you now maybe be looking to maneuver through the land use application process before your local land use board to build, rebuild or elevate your home. This process is overwhelming, as there are very strict procedures and requirements that must be completed during the preparation of the application, during the hearing before the land use board and during the post approval time period. The first step of the process requires the completion of a land use application and submission of accompanying documents such as escrow agreements, plans, surveys and submission of checks. Of course the plans and surveys will need to be prepared by a certified surveyor or engineer but the land use application itself requires information that necessitates a certain level of expertise and knowledge of the Municipal Land Use Law. Also, known as the MLUL, the Municipal Land Use Law sets forth the procedures for proper filing of land use applications, and the standards that must be met in order to receive approval by the land use board. The application requires a listing of the type of relief you may require from local ordinances, which are called variances, and design regulations, which are called waivers. The applications will ask for information relating to use, setbacks, building coverage and height of structure. Moreover, the application will require the submission of application checks, which go to the municipality and escrow checks, which are paid to the Land Use Board professionals, such as the Board Attorney or Board Engineer,
to defer the cost of their Dina M. Vicari Esq. review of your application. These checks are directly computed on the type of application, the number of variances required, or lot size. Only when the Land Use Board Secretary has received the information referred to above will they determine if the application is complete, which may take up to 30-45 days. The next step in the application process, the Notice of Publication process, is the most important and if prepared with even the smallest of errors can void your approval. The Notice of Publication outlines what you propose to construct and the types of relief you may need to receive approval. This Notice must be sent certified return receipt and regular mail to property owners within 200 feet of your property, this list of owners must be received from the tax assessor as a certified list. The Notice must also be published in the local newspaper. These two types of Notice must be completed prior to 10 days prior to hearing and proof of the Notice must be sent to the Board secretary at least 3 days prior to your hearing. As can be seen from the information above the application process requires understanding of the MLUL. The attorneys at the Law Office of R.C. Shea and Associates can assist to make this process stress free. Look for future articles on the Land Use Process which will review the hearing process and post approval compliance procedures.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE A Reason To Smile When was the last time you visited a dentist? If you are like most adults, the last time you went to the dentist was when that recurring toothache became so unbearable you had no choice but to go in for a visit. Millions of Americans have fear or anxiety when it comes to visiting the dentist, and this is a fact that the dentists at Lakehurst Dental, Dr. Brian Klohn and Associates, keep in mind when treating their patients. At Lakehurst Dental, located in Lakehurst at 19 Union Ave., care is personalized and comfortable, giving even the most petrified patients a reason to smile. In his 26 years of dental experience, Dr. Klohn has always strived to bring patients the best dental care and the latest procedures and technology. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in the top 10 of his class in 1991, after which he began his residency at Monmouth Medical Center. In 1992, he began working for Dr. Kantor at the current downtown Lakehurst lo-
Dr. Brian Klohn cation, becoming a partner in 1996 and then sole proprietor in 1999 when Dr. Kantor retired. Dr. Klohn has remodeled the entire building, and the result is an office with a clean and relaxing ambiance. As you sit in the waiting room, you might watch the flat screen TV or take a gander through a binder that is filled with information on oral health and dental procedures. Despite the coziness and charm of the waiting room, however, you won’t find yourself there for too long. A s D r. K l o h n says, “ We don’t over book, so you’re not waiting
The atmosphere at Lakehurst Dental is relaxed and cozy.
Lakehurst Dental, located at 19 Union Ave, brings comfort to the dental experience.
in the waiting room because that automatically raises your anxiety level.” At Lakehurst Dental, you’ll find a unique breed of doctor that perhaps you have yet to encounter; dentists who are genuinely sympathetic and considerate of the fact that you’re not exactly thrilled about your impending root canal. It is this understanding of patient concerns and a valiant effort to, as their Web site, lakehurstdentist.com says, “bring comfort to your dental experience” that sets Lakehurst Dental apart from its competitors. Unlike some dental clinics, where patients might idle a preposterously long time in the waiting room, see a dif ferent doctor on each visit and feel rushed during the appointment, Lakehurst Dental is a private practice that gives patients a more personal experience. Patients see the same doctor on each visit, a routine that facilitates a trusting doctor/patient relationship and helps to alleviate any nervousness. Patients can rest assured that their dentist is familiar with their dental history, because the same dentist has been treating them all along. As a full-ser vice dental facility, Lakehurst Dental takes their commitment to their patients a step further by offering a multitude of services and minimizing the chance of sending patients out for certain procedures. All your dental needs can be met at Lakehurst Dental, in a calm atmosphere, with a familiar dentist with whom you are comfortable. Dr. Klohn explains that, “We block enough time out for our patients so we can explain what they need and really make sure they understand what they’re getting and what they’re paying for and why.” Dr. Klohn wants his patients to be relaxed, educated and healthy. Education is a priority, not just for patients at Lakehurst Dental, but also
for himself. Dr. Klohn is a member of the Advanced Dental Seminar Team through which they participate in ongoing education to stay up to date on the latest technologies in the dental industry. He also lectures on dentistry at Monmouth Medical Center. Dr. Klohn’s commitment to education has enabled him to keep current with advancements in the field and offer his patients the best that the science of dentistry has to offer. Lakehurst Dental offers dental implant restorations, dentures, porcelain veneers, cosmetic dentistry, root canal therapy and oral surgery. They practice stringent infection control procedures and their sterilization procedures meet CDC guidelines. Lakehurst Dent al also makes dental care more affordable by accepting credit cards, offering a no-interest payment plan and participating with the Delta Dental Premier Plan of NJ. Although new techniques and procedures are always being introduced, the age-old basics still apply when it comes to taking care of those pearly whites. You should brush at least twice a day and floss daily. And whether you’re 3 or 103, it’s paramount that you visit Dr. Klohn at least once every six months to avoid problems caused by neglect. You might think that going to the dentist is a tedious and agonizing chore, but after an appointment with Dr. Klohn, your opinion might change. To experience the personalized approach and the emphasis on comfort that Lakehurst Dental provides, you can call the office at 732-657-7400 to schedule an appointment. The office is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Beware, however, that an appointment at Lakehurst Dental might cause some side-effects - like a smile, and a newfound enjoyment in a visit to the dentist!

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of december 9 - december 15
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the coming week you are likely to be filled with warm feelings toward others. You may inadvertently step on some toes while seeking companionship. Heightened ambition could desensitize you to the word “no.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Guard against financial losses. The Full Moon may light up areas where you are spending money on numerous unnecessary fees, but it will add up. As this week unfolds find way to insure your financial security. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The Full Moon in your sign may make you more aware of relationship issues as this week unfolds. You may look on the dark side and be pessimistic when you should be sympathetic. Hold off on key decisions. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Tune your consciousness to the problems of the world. Solve environmental issues that are within reach; turn off a light or use a recycling bin. It may be difficult to attain your business goals in the early part of the week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Today’s Full Moon may reveal how much you rely upon the opinions of others. As the week unfolds you may realize there is more to life than duty and ambition. Your focus may shift to creative activities or homegrown pleasures. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be proud of what you have, without coveting what others may have. New friendships and acquaintances could create some discomfort in the week ahead if you spend too much time comparing possessions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may try to
mix business and pleasure in the upcoming week, but in some cases it may be like mixing oil and water. You may have the impulse to bring new acquaintances into your home or into your confidence. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This may be a great week to meet new friends or develop contacts who broaden your knowledge. You may feel compelled to pinch your pennies in the first half of the week when you should avoid making new investments. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): During the first half of the week you might not succeed no matter how much you try. Later in the week focus on making your surroundings a place of peace and contentment. Invite trusted friends to visit. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Steer a straight course no matter how tempting it is to take a detour. You maybe irked by companions who change their minds about business decisions at an awkward moment. Avoid arguments in the week ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may sometimes feel lost in a forest without a breadcrumb trail. Remember that the scariest fairy tales have a happy ending. Maintain a positive attitude and problems will resolve themselves during the week ahead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Open the windows and let in fresh air and sunshine. Avoid dark, gloomy places and people during the week to come. You may be challenged to deal with those who encourage you to dip into savings or change your investments.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Cookie Classics: Make-Ahead Holiday Cookies CombineTwo Favorites In One By Wolfgang Puck
All my life, I’ve loved sweet pastries of every kind; especially cookies. So with plenty of holiday parties ahead, I feel like I’m in pastry heaven. There’s the promise of wonderful cookies everywhere I turn. I learned as a boy that you can never start making holiday cookies too soon. Around late November, my mother and grandmother were already preparing them to have ready for guests who came visiting, as well as to wrap up in airtight tins as homemade gifts. The following recipe for chocolate-chunk oatmeal cookies traces its origins to the early days of my restaurant Spago in the 1980s. I think it was widely popular for the perfect way it combined two popular varieties into one robust, rich-tasting, satisfyingly chewy treat. And, happily, the cookies are surprisingly easy to make. Good results depend mostly on paying attention to a few small details. First, be sure to pick up a package of rolled oats labeled “quick-cooking,” which means they have been crushed into flat flake-like shapes and partially steamed, then dried. That ensures they’ll turn tender in the relatively brief baking time. I also like to buy good-quality bittersweet chocolate in whole bar form, rather than using chocolate chips. I very carefully cut up the chocolate myself on a cutting board into uneven small chunks, using a sharp knife. The variety of shapes adds to the homemade quality and makes every bite a small surprise. Nuts are another important element, and I prefer to use slightly sweeter pecans instead of the usual walnuts you find in both oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies. I also take care to toast the pecans before baking, so they’ll have a fuller flavor and crispier texture. Though each step is very particular, the dough is still very easy to mix, shape and bake. And one more feature suits this recipe even better to the holidays. You can mix the dough in advance, shape it into individual balls, place them on trays, cover well with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to one week before baking; or, the dough balls can be frozen for up to two months, to be thawed in the refrigerator for several hours before baking. That means, with a little advance planning, you can have cookies ready to bake and serve hot from the oven when guests drop by. My mother and grandmother would have approved! CHOCOLATE-CHUNK OATMEAL COOKIES Makes about 5 1/2 dozen About 5 ounces (150 g) shelled pecan halves or pieces 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces (250 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into small pieces 1 cup (250 mL) firmly packed dark brown sugar 1 cup (250 mL) granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 pound (500 g) bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped to the size of large chocolate chips 2 cups (500 mL) quick-cooking rolled oats
Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Spread the pecans on a baking tray and toast them in the oven until fragrant and slightly darkened in color, 10 to 12 minutes, turning them halfway through. Set aside to cool, then coarsely chop them by hand or by pulsing briefly in a food processor. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In the large bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle or beaters (or in a large mixing bowl using a hand-held electric mixer), soften the butter at medium speed. Add the brown and granulated sugars, and continue beating; once they’re fully incorporated, increase the speed to high and continue beating until the mixture looks fluffy, stopping as needed to scrape down the sides of the bowl and under the beaters with a rubber spatula. Reduce the speed to medium and, one at a time, add the eggs and then the vanilla, stopping as needed to scrape down the bowl and beaters. Reduce the speed to low and gradually pour in the flour mixture, stopping as soon as it is incorporated. Add the chocolate, oats, and pecans to the bowl. Stir with a sturdy wooden spoon until fully incorporated. Scrape the dough out of the bowl onto a large sheet of plastic wrap. Fold the wrap around the dough and refrigerate until firm, 2 to 3 hours. Position the rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Line 1 or 2 baking trays with parchment paper. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into mounds about the size of an unshelled walnut, weighing about 1 ounce (30g) each, rolling each mound into an even ball between the palms of your clean hands. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking trays about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Bake in the preheated oven until slightly firm to the touch, 13 to 15 minutes, reversing the trays back to front about halfway through for even baking. Transfer the trays to racks to cool. After a few minutes, remove the trays from the racks. Use a wide metal spatula to remove the cookies from the trays, transferring them back to the racks to cool completely. (If reusing a baking tray, allow a few minutes for it to cool slightly before placing a new batch of dough balls on it.)
