New Contract For Police Chief, Public Works By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER - The Township Council approved a new, threeyear contract for Police Chief Lisa Parker and a contract for the Public Works employees at a recent meeting. Mayor Ken Palmer said that contracts with chiefs in other Ocean and Monmouth county towns of similar size were compared when setting the chief’s salary. “We were significantly under average,” he said. Palmer also noted that Manchester’s chief has a different set of responsibilities than other towns in that she also supervises the volunteer fire and first aid squads. Because of the income level of the majority of the town - who are seniors - the township can’t afford to have the department heads be among the highest paid in the area, he said. The first year of the contract is from Jan. 1, 2018, to Dec. 31, 2018, and the salary is $206,200. The second year sees an increase to $211,200, and the third year, ending on Dec. 31, 2020, is at $216,200. Palmer said her current salary is approximately $185,000. The contract also details 128 hours of sick time, what happens to the sick time at the end of the year, and how much is able to be paid out upon retirement (max 60 days). There are also 40 hours of personal time and 240 hours of vacation time. At the meeting where this contract was ratified, Palmer said that the police department is organized and professional, and that the contract is well deserved. (Contract - See Page 4)

Another student asked how long he works. He said goes into work around 7:15 a.m. and usually leaves around 6:00 p.m. “My job is fun. I am in charge of an organization with people in 23 countries.” After the school-wide assembly program, the general spoke separately to fifth graders and then fourth graders in the school media center.

in downtown Toms River, the Little Leaguer in the Ocean County Mall, the tourists on Route 37, or the statue that celebrates “Human Endeavor” in Toms River. Some of the monuments are very curious. For example, there’s a memorial to “Candor,” the first horse of Stanley Dancer. The “Alleged Geographical Center of Ocean County” is apparently on Evergreen Road in Plumsted. Island Heights’ former Wanamaker camp ground had a monument for the Battle of Verdun. There is a memorial for the blind in Toms River that is written in braille. And then there’s the torpedo in South Toms River. Lacey and Toms River seem to have the most monuments, said Ocean County Historical Society member Barbara Moreau. Brian Hanlon, the local sculptor, was responsible for quite a lot of them. Moreau personally thanked him for his help in this project. The juniors looked them up in the library, Moreau said, and then talked to people in towns to find more. The book itself is a monument, dedicated to Moreau’s late husband, William, for his help with the Juniors. Moreau related how excited the students get when they do research and learn something new. “I wanted children to be proud of their history,” she said. “They need to know about the past.” The book will be on display and on sale at the Ocean County Historical Society museum at 26 Hadley Ave. Youth and adults who are interested in helping the historical society can call them at 732-341-1880.

Continued From Page 1 Historical Society, who photographed and catalogued them all. They managed to find 157 monuments in Ocean County’s 33 municipalities. The result of this search is a book called “A Photo Journal Of Monuments And Memorials Of Ocean County, New Jersey.” The Junior members Faith Hennig, Sara Lee Da Ponte, Samantha Trembley, and Katlyin Rae were involved in the project. Historical Society members Grace Towery, Jane Loihle, and Frank Parks are also acknowledged. Heather Zbikowski, of Forked River, did a lot of the research and typed up the book. Her neighbor, Barbara Moreau, got her interested in history when she was 10. “It’s probably one of my favorite things to do in school,” she said. A sophomore in high school, she plans on studying neurology upon graduation. The group wanted a project to do over the summer, Zbikowski said, “and it turned into three years.” Part of this was people kept coming up with more monuments. For example, the new well commemorating Beachwood’s 100th birthday and the Protectors of Freedom monument in Bey Lea Park in Toms River were so new that they didn’t even get into this book. “People kept adding more and we had to keep adding pages and it kept getting bigger,” Zbikowski said. “We had a lot of questions about what we saw and why it was there,” she said, remarking about “how many things can relate back to where we are.”

Opinions & Commentary
F eatured L etter Thank You To Our Hospitals I recently had to spend time at three of the local hospitals with a loved one. I’m one of those people who sleep over, so I saw what goes on day and night. The three hospitals are part of the Hackensack group. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I take my hat off to you. Each place was full of professionalism and love and care. You can buy professionalism but you can’t buy love and care. In each facility the people knew their jobs from top to bottom, whether it was a doctor, technician,
nurse, aide, support group, and many others. I could not find any fault. I have never been so impressed with a group like this. The men of the cloth were right there to do their job and pray for my loved one. We are going to come through our trauma better people than when we went in, due to these hospitals. All I have to do is thank you one and all for a job well done. Herb Greenberg, Jr. Brick

Letters To The Editor Leaving a Lasting Legacy From time to time I’m asked what my greatest achievement as a freeholder has been. It’s not always an easy question to answer. I’m very proud of my efforts to redevelop Fort Monmouth, including my work to help provide services for our veterans. The Child Advocacy Center is also something in which I take great satisfaction. But when I think of my greatest single achievement, I have to say it is the legacy of the land we have preserved. While other efforts have helped important segments of our population, the preservation of open lands has provided a permanent foundation that future generations will be able to build upon. It is an asset that serves the entire county. Directly, it provides a habitat that protects biodiversity, provides a myriad of recreational opportunities, both active and passive, and adds value to the neighborhoods and communities in which it is located. The indirect benefits are even greater. Where it is farmland, it provides locally grown fresh food. Where it is conservation lands - from open fields to century forests - it cleans the air and cools the land. And all open land helps to manage stormwater, store drinking water and treat wastewater. People who never visit a farm or field or forest benefit from our protection of them, which makes open land the best investment we can make in the future of Monmouth County. All of this makes it particularly important now for everyone to pay close attention to the new Open Space Plan being developed by the Park System. Monmouth County has seen the development of thousands of acres of land that are lost to future preservation efforts. The land that is left is also increasingly sensitive in nature. This makes the challenges we face ahead even greater and more urgent. The careful planning and the wise allocation of resources that have been the hallmark of our previous efforts will be even more essential in the future. The land is the lasting legacy in which every Monmouth

Police Station Never Should Have Got This Bad I have read your front page article on the Barnegat Township Hall & Police Station in your December 23, 2017 edition of Southern Ocean Times. When I finished, I went back and read it twice more. Unfortunately, nothing in that sad story changed. The crux of this problem is that full time Municipal and Police Department employees didn’t do their jobs. The oversight personnel, the elected township officials, certainly didn’t perform their due diligence either. This is a cart before the horse matter. There have been tremendous changes in Barnegat Township that have taken place in fits and spurts over the 40+ years since I was a kid and our family docked our 18’ Emerson Farley-built garvey in Budge Ridgeway’s slips on Woodmansee Avenue on Double Creek. Little has been done with the Township’s infrastructure to deal with all of the new construction and all of the new people who have moved in to Southern Ocean County, a large number of whom have landed in Barnegat Township. Yet the Township Committee drafted, presented and apparently approved a $15 million bond issue when no one has come up with a determination of the actual needs, needs that will grow and need to be adjusted; a solution that is workable, well-designed, adjustable and efficient. And the township solicitor let them all do this? Why would they do that before the full planning and details of needs were developed? How did they know whatever it is that they propose would cost $15 million when it is obvious that no one there knows what they need, how the building that would fulfill those needs should
do all departments need to be housed together, what future expansions should be planned on buildings that should be designed for expansions, and for how much money. Barnegat Township has not finished growing, of that I am certain. But substantial longterm planning is in order before the Township should be selling municipal bonds and starting construction on anything. The Township and County should have a ton of information about the growth of Barnegat Township over the past 20 years or so. Can’t a professional take that information and interpolate that data into what they think the town will grow and change into over the next 20 years and tie that into what new or remodeled facilities are needed? It would also be a good idea to further interpolate the needs an additional 20 years into the future so that likely Township needs can be planned and any facilities built or remodeled would be done in a way that expansion would be reasonable from both efficiency and financial reasons over time. It seems that someone should be doing this before the taxpayers in Barnegat Township find themselves repaying bonds that were sold and the proceeds used to buy and construct things that end up doing the Township, and its citizens, little good. My business’s office has been in Moorestown, NJ since 1982 and the Town Hall there burned to the ground about 15 years ago. The Police Department was in that building along with all Township functions except for Water, Sewer and Public Works. At first, the town created what the police needed for the short term in the Public Works facility but the Town Manager and the Council were aware that it would be some time before a new Town Hall would be built so the Town leased office and flex space in a large office industrial park on the north side of town. The Council had discovered that the insurance on Town Hall was nowhere near the replacement cost. They recovered an insurance claim recovery of about $3,000,000 but, for years, the least expensive bid to rebuild Town Hall on the same footprint was $12,000,000.
the insurance broker should be addressed but nothing has been done. Why was that coverage not kept up to what would have been needed to replace that building? If nothing else, that should serve as a warning to our Ocean County town managers who might read this letter. Those managers should conduct an annual survey on replacement costs on all municipal properties and then confirm that the insurance policies on those properties provide the appropriate coverage. Tax rates went up after Moorestown built a new Town Hall that includes a new library (remember those?), since the insurance settlement did not provide anywhere near what Moorestown needed to rebuild Town Hall. The town finally built the new Town Hall, including the library, for about $14,000,000 but the Police Department like their leased space and stayed there since that space is cost effective and the size and floorplan can easily be adjusted. The Police no longer find that they need to be co-located in Town Hall. How about that? While all of this was going on, the Moorestown Township Municipal Court rented the Courtroom of the Borough of Maple Shade, a mile away, and that worked just fine. Moorestown’s Municipal Judge and Court Officials worked out of the leased space except for Court Nights. The point is that perhaps Barnegat has an opportunity at this time to save money by merging and/or sharing a lot of township functions with neighboring towns as a way to become far more cost effective and efficient for the taxpayers of the Township. In any case, they should be planning on handling as much growth in the next 20 years and they have had in the last 20. Lindsay Fuller Beach Haven

County Set To Provide Meals And More To Seniors TOMS R IVER – The Ocean Count y Board of Chosen Freeholder s is continuing its pledge t o it s ho m e b ou n d a nd v ul nerable sen iors to provide a nutritious meal daily as par t of its extensive senior nutrition program. “In the New Year, Ocean Cou nt y will provide a l mo s t 30 0,0 0 0 me a l s to seniors,” said Ocean Cou nt y Freeholder Director Joseph H.

Route 9, in Manahawkin, are completed. The project is scheduled to go out to bid on Jan. 3 and the County anticipates receiving bids at the end of January. Work is expected to begin in the spring. The work will include reconfiguring the inside of the building to provide 2,000 square feet of additional ser vice area for the count y’s senior nutrition program allowi ng for expanded meal preparation. Seniors in the county’s congregate nutrition program from Ocean Township south to Little Egg Harbor use the nutrition site at the Southern Service Center. The upgraded facility will include a renovated senior nutrition site that will hold over 200 people. The project includes better storage facilities, expanded administrative space for client services, and more refrigeration. T he proje c t a l so i n -
cludes lowering the ceiling of the facility and the installation of sprinklers – a major safety upgrade. The lowered ceiling will make acoustics better for older adults and at the same time creates storage space to accommodate shelf stable meals and paper goods. “The senior nut r ition program ser ves as a l i fel i ne for m a ny of our elderly residents living alone. It helps them maintain their independence and the volunteers and drivers help provide a daily wellness check for many seniors that can no longer get around on their own,” Vicari said. “Nutrition suppor t is a key ing redient to good health for older adults.” He noted that socialization, recreation, educational programs and health screenings will be offered at the nutrition site. T he shel f me a l s a r e d ist r ibut ed i n weat he r emergencies or extended holidays.
“We dist r ibuted over 10,000 of them last year alone,” Vicari said. “We make every effort to assure our seniors do not miss a meal – no matter the weather.” Jackie Rohan, Director of Senior Services, said the county’s plans will allow for the expansion of the county’s meal production capability in the south along with consolidating staff and resources to the one location. “At the same time, this project will create a more eff icient, cent ralized op e r at ion , w it h b et t e r op p or t u n it ie s for c o s t c ont rol a nd de c r e a se d wa s t e, a nd c r e at e o ne product ion locat ion to enhance communication for both staff and consumers,” she said.

mislead your readers. He’s a millionaire, and the president recently attended his fund-raiser in North Jersey, so MacArthur certainly can afford to pay for newspaper ads to present his propaganda. Please don’t insult the intelligence of your readers by aiding and abetting one candidate for the next 11 months at the expense of objective, factual journalism.

We print their press releases as a service to residents, so they can understand what’s on the minds of their elected officials.

NJ Natural Gas Reminds Customers To Prepare For Frigid Temperatures WALL – With the National Weather Service predicting subzero wind chills beginning Wednesday night and the potential for snow this weekend, New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) reminds customers to be prepared for the frigid temperatures by keeping the following tips in mind: • Make sure your furnace and water heater are properly ventilated and clear of obstructions. • Seal up seams and cracks around walls, windows, doors and fixtures to reduce drafts. • Be sure to have properly functioning smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors throughout your home. • Never use your stove or burners as an additional heat source. • Keep at least a 3-foot clearance in all directions from any portable heating devices to prevent ignition of nearby items such as drapes, paper or furniture. • Stay indoors. If you need to go outside, wear warm, loose-fitting clothing in several layers and always cover your head. Additionally, keep the following natural gas safety tips in mind: • If you smell natural gas, immediately leave the premises and call 800-GASLEA K (80 0 - 427-5325) f rom a safe location. Do not use a lighter, cellphone or land-
line, switch on/off appliances, lights or even a f lashlight on the premises where you smell natural gas, as they can create a spark. • Remove cigarettes or other smoking materials from the area, and then promptly extinguish them. • Since natural gas is colorless and has no scent, a strong odorant, which smells like rotten eggs, is added to help you detect possible leaks. However, some people may not be able to detect the odorant. A noise like hissing, whistling or roaring is another indication of a possible leak. • Do not attempt to turn off your natural gas service at the meter. The valve should be turned on or off by emergency utility personnel only. • Do not extinguish or re-ignite a pilot light on your appliances. In the event a pilot light goes out, call a qualified plu mber, cont ractor or NJ NG for a safety inspection. • Should water or snow get into your heating system and/or water heater, or if your natural gas meter is damaged, call NJNG’s 24-hour response line. NJNG customer service representatives are available to address customers’ needs during this time. For the latest information on NJNG service, follow us at Facebook.com/NewJerseyNaturalGas or at Twitter.com/NJNaturalGas.

–Photo by Bob Vosseller EJ Oksuz, 10, Toms River, left, joins Toms River High School East Art Club members Daniela Luna and Oakley Mastej in a display made by the club for the Big Brothers/ Big Sisters Holiday party held on Dec. 23 at the La Bove Grande in Lakehurst..
Holiday:
Continued From Page 14 & Moriarty, Owen Little & Assoociates, T&M Associates, Quality Medical, and JDM Planning Associates. “When you see the looks on the faces of the kids as they see Santa it brings tears to your eyes. Jerry Bove, the owner of La Bove Grande, donates the use of his banquet hall and all the food for the event. This wouldn’t be possible without all he does for us,” Martin said. Bove could not be present for this year’s event as he was involved with another holiday spirited effort at the same time. “I do it because the kids deserve to have a special Christmas celebration and some don’t have a chance to have that. I simply provide the food and a place to celebrate it and it is a wonderful thing. God has been good to me and I want to give something back,” Bove said. “This is a wonderful event,” Ralph Wolff, the board chairman of the Ocean County Big Brothers/Big Sisters said. The organization’s acting executive director Ida Cahill said that between 150200 children were expected to attend the day’s party. “Scott (Martin) and others help us offset the cost of the gifts from Santa and the cost of the DJ and other things associated with the party. We are still looking to grow as an agency as there is a big need for young people to be guided by an adult. We are looking for volunteers because Big Brothers/Big Sisters makes such a difference in their lives.” Cahill noted the county’s growing population. “We have many “littles” from Toms River and Lakewood and some in the Seaside Heights area and all over the county. That need is growing and with it will be the need of more “bigs” and
additional staff.” She credited the Ocean County Board of Realtors for helping with their agency wrapping the presents of the day and several 55 and older communities that collected toys from the lists that they were provided. “There is a list of things they want which include clothes and a wish list of toys. Our office has been filled with toys,” Cahill said. She said she has been working with Toms River Police Chief Mitch Little concerning a future pilot project that will involve department volunteers serving as Big Brothers/Big Sisters for young people. “It will reach the “littles” at an age where they will see the police as their friends and once we see what works, we hope to expand it beyond Toms River.” The Toms River High School East Art Club created a special holiday themed backdrop that children could pop their faces through for photos. They also made a special coloring book of holiday scenes that each child received. Oakley Mastej, a junior at the high school is the founder of the 20 member club. He said the club performed a similar service for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Halloween party. “This went well and has been a lot of fun.” He was joined by fellow junior and club member Daniela Luna. Both were pleased that the group’s artwork was being put to good use for others. Christine Oksuz and her 10-year-old son EJ of Toms River were enjoying the party. “This is a great event and Big Brothers/Big Sisters has been such a blessing to him and our family. He has a “big” named Zack and this is EJ’s second year in the program. We really love it and all the activities involved. He has gone to a Jets pre-season game and there are bowling nights,” Christine Oksuz said.

Eating More Fiber May Lower Risk Of First-Time Stroke
NEW JERSEY - Eating more fiber may decrease your risk of first-time stroke, according to new research in the American Heart and Stroke Association. Dietary fiber is the part of the plant that the body doesn’t absorb during digestion. Fiber can be soluble, which means it dissolves in water, or insoluble. Previous research has shown that dietary fiber may help reduce risk factors for stroke, including high blood pressure and levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) , or “bad” cholesterol. In the new study, researchers found that each seven-gram increase in total daily fiber intake was associated with a seven percent decrease in first-time stroke risk. One serving of whole wheat pasta plus two servings of fruits or vegetables provides about 7 grams of fiber, researchers said. “Greater intake of fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables and nuts are important for everyone, and especially for those with stroke risk factors like being overweight, smoking and having high blood pressure,” Diane Threapleton, M.Sc. and Ph.D. candidate at the University of Leeds’ School of Food Science and Nutrition in Leeds, United Kingdom. Researchers analyzed eight studies published between 1990-2012. Studies reported on all types of stroke, with four specifically examining the risk of ischemic stroke, which occurs when a clot blocks a blood vessel to the brain.
Three assessed hemorrhagic stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel bleeds into the brain or on its surface. Findings from the observational studies were combined, and accounted for other stroke risk factors like age and smoking. The results were based on total dietary fiber. Researchers did not find an association with soluble fiber and stroke risk, and lacked enough data on insoluble fiber to make any conclusions. The average daily fiber intake among U.S. adults is lower than the American Heart Association’s recommendation of at least 25 grams per day. Six to eight servings of grains and eight to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables can provide the recommended amount. “Most people do not get the recommended level of fiber, and increasing fiber may contribute to lower risk for strokes,” Threapleton said. “We must educate consumers on the continued importance of increasing fiber intake and help them learn how to increase fiber in their diet.” In the United States, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death, killing more than 137,000 people annually. Among survivors, the disease is a leading cause of disability. In addition to following a nutritious diet, the American Heart Association recommends being physically active and avoiding tobacco to help prevent stroke and other heart and blood vessel diseases.

Sierra Hull –February 3, 8 p.m., Main Stage, $25. Sierra Hull has been recognized from age 11 as a virtuoso mandolin-player, astonishing audiences and fellow-musicians alike. Her album Weighted Mind is a landmark achievement, not just in Hull’s career, but also in the world of folk-pop, bluegrass and acoustic music overall. With instrumentation comprised largely of mandolin, bass, and vocals, this is genre-transcending music at its best. Hull speaks eloquently, in her challenging and sensitive originals, her heartfelt vocals, and once again breaks new ground on the mandolin. The country and
bluegrass album earned Hull a 2016 Grammy Award® nomination for “Best Folk Album.” The HillBenders present The Who’s TOMMY: A Bluegrass Opry –April 13, 8 p.m., Main Stage, $35. Dinner Add-On Available: $25 Dinner in the Grunin Center Gallery from Prime 13. “Ever since I was a young boy I played the silver ball.” Maybe not your standard bluegrass lyric, but a line known by all the world from the biggest rock opera of all time, The Who’s Tommy. Forty-five years after its original release, this classic of classic rock is now fully realized as a full-length bluegrass tribute featuring Springfield, Missouri’s The HillBenders. Conceived and produced by SXSW co-founder and longtime musician/producer Louis Jay Meyers, this Bluegrass Opry brings a new perspective to Tommy, while paying total respect to its creators. This live performance is a full 75-minute show covering the original album from start to finish with audience participation.

Hearing And Vision: Teamwork In Action
Hearing and Vision: Q&A With so many hearing trends, developments, and research worth sharing and such great questions from our patients about hearing health, we feel it’s our obligation as the community’s only AudigyCertified™ practice to keep you informed about news you can use to make educated decisions about your hearing care. Let’s talk hearing and vision. Q: Both hearing and sight are important to me, but does one have any effect on the other? A: It’s no secret that hearing and vision play a huge part in connecting individuals to the people, places, and experiences that mean the most, but many may not realize how closely these senses collaborate. Hearing actually enhances the sense of sight, according to a UCLA study, newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/sound-andvision-work-hand-in-220261, with both working as a team to help people perceive and participate in the world around them. In the study, researchers exploring how senses can affect each other ran partici-
pants through a series of trials requiring them to correctly identify the phase in which dots moved horizontally together — versus randomly — on a screen. Though the trials involved various uses of sound — with audio traveling in the same direction as the dots, moving in the opposite direction, or remaining stationary — participants had the greatest success when the audio moved in the same direction as the horizontally traveling dots but stayed stationary amid the random movement. In other words, hearing the direction in which the dots were collectively traveling enhanced participants’ ability to see the direction of the movement. “This study shows that at least in regards to perception of moving objects, hearing and sight are deeply intertwined,” said senior study author and then-UCLA associate professor of psychology Ladan Shams in an online UCLA story. “Even when sound is completely irrelevant to the task, it still influences the way we see the world.” Yet another reason to keep your hearing — just like your vision — at its best!
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

Forget About New Year’s Resolutions, Do it Now! By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Do you know how many New Year’s resolutions people actually succeed at keeping? The answer is: practically none. I’ve never been a believer in resolutions. I think you should just do it now. What do you think the reason is that we do not keep our New Year’s resolutions? There are two reasons: the main one is our self-defeating stories, and the second is our habits that we’ve held for years. One of my favorite books on this topic is The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. Next, let’s look at some of what Isaiah Hankel has to say on the power of our “self-stories.” He’s just released a new book, The Science of Intelligent Achievement: How Smart People Focus, Create and Grow Their Way to Success (Capstone 2018). One of my favorite quotes from Mr. Hankel is: “In order to change your big story, you have to change the little stories.” You know which stories don’t you? Have you ever heard yourself say any of these things: I’ll never be thin because I’ve been overweight for 16 years now. It’s more important that I’m available for him now; I’ll concentrate on me later. I hate myself, I hate my body, and I’m so stupid. By telling yourself these negative stories, or even thinking them, you give yourself the freedom to abuse yourself, remain in toxic relationships, eat fattening food, and keep drinking or smoking.
Why should you bother, you always fail anyway don’t you? See what I mean? If you refuse to change those stories, then I suggest you not make any resolutions for 2018 because you’re destined for failure. Then, you will feel even more badly about yourself. But if you’re ready and willing to dispense with the negative thinking, and forgive your past failures, then let January 1 be your day for change! Two years ago, I decided I’d declutter my home a little bit more. I like things neat and organized. If you too want to organize your home, read “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo. We don’t actually overcome or break a bad habit. We merely replace it with another one. And amazingly enough, those new, healthy habits become ingrained in our behavior in about three weeks. So don’t give up too soon! Set reasonable goals for yourself though. Remember, nobody’s perfect, and if they are, they’ve been photo shopped! So this January 1, sit down and write a list of the negative thoughts that make up the mental chatter in your mind. Write all of them on paper or type and print your list. Vow to never say these words again and burn them. Literally, turn them to ash. Then create a vision board using pictures that you cut out of magazines to represent all the wonderful things you’d like to create in your life. Dreams can come true if you believe that they can. Cheers to a happy, healthy new year!

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 theAmerican Lung Association, screening can save thousands of lives, yet less than 5 percent of the estimated 9 millionAmericans considered “high risk” have been screened. In recognition of Lung Cancer Awareness Month this November, the American Lung Associa-
tion’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 findings 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-ofmind 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 theAd Council to launch “Saved By The Scan.” “Saved By The Scan” is the first 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 lowdose 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 low-dose 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.

Legislation Passed to Provide Overdose Patients with Recovery Information
By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – Legislation to provide mandatory information about substance abuse treatment programs to anyone who is being treated for a drug overdose has been passed by the Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee. The legislation requires that, whether it be a first-responder or a health care professional, medical professionals need to provide patients of overdose with this information before releasing them. The required information will help overdose patients find treatment programs and resources to aid them in solving their addiction and preventing further overdose. “Opioid abuse is an epidemic throughout New Jersey that we must continue to fight in every way we can. In the sobering moment when an individual overdoses and receives Narcan or another antidote to save their life, we must use it as an opportunity to provide them with information on how to recover and treat this deadly disease,” stated As-
semblyman McGuckin. If an individual is being treated by a first-responder and does not get admitted to a hospital or facility, it is the first-responders job to relay this information to the individual. If that person in fact does get admitted somewhere, the health care professionals of that establishment are required to inform the patient with this information following treatment but prior to discharge as well as document the event. The idea is to get these individuals equipped with the necessary information so that they know how to avoid further drug-use or drug problems effectively on their own. “Experiencing an event like an overdose may be a moment when addicts are looking for a lifeline,” added Assemblyman Wolfe. “Allowing health care providers and first responders the opportunity to provide life changing information on recovery programs may be the first step in tackling this devastating disease that has ruined so many lives.”

Dear Joel, I’m afraid I’ve accidentally caused a rift between my brother and myself. We’re both in our 70’s and my brother Harry doesn’t get around so good. He was rifling through a stack of papers and got so frustrated when he couldn’t find what he was looking for. So to help him out I tossed a large pile of old greeting cards from a desk drawer. I thought he would be happy with the space. He didn’t say a thing; the look on his face said it all. Joel, I swear he doesn’t remember most of senders. Half of the people passed away years ago. Am I not as important as those greeting cards? I was only trying to help, now he barely speaks to me. Can I fix this mess? ANSWER: Are you right? Yes. Is what you did right? No. The issue is not the cards, its trust and control. You had the best of intentions, but you did
not let him decide. He probably would have probably thrown out the same ones you did, but now he feels like, “who are you to decide?” If you want to fix things, fix yourself first. You have got to not decide what’s best for him…even if you’re right. You have to apologize sincerely, with NO explanations. Don’t say “isn’t is better?” or “see how much space?” Then when you get a task, do it like he wants it done. Trust is built back over time, but you’ll get there. 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

Inside The Law Time To Review Your Will
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Marc S. Galella, Esq, of R.C. Shea and Associates
The beginning of a New Year is a good time to review your estate planning documents. Let’s start with your Last Will and Testament. Have you reviewed it in the last year? If not, now is a good time. First, look at the persons who you have appointed as your executor, guardian and trustee. Are those persons still capable of acting in that capacity? Are they still willing to act? Is there any reason why you would not want them to act under your Will? Review the specific bequests and devises in your Will. This is the part of the Will where you leave specific items, real estate or money to specific persons. Are those persons still worthy of receiving those assets? Are there additional persons that you want add to your Will? Do you still own the items identified in your Will? Are there any other items that you want to leave to specific persons? Review the persons named in your Will who are receiving the remainder of your estate. Are those persons still deserving of your assets? If you are leaving your estate in different percentages to your beneficiaries, are those percentages still what you want? Are they any other persons who you want to add to your Will? Are any of the persons named in your Will incapacitated or receiving governmental benefits? Perhaps the assets left to those
persons are best left in a trust. Review your Power of Attorney. Are the persons you appointed Marc S. Galella Esq. in that document still capable of acting for you? Do they still want to act on your behalf? Are there other persons who you want to name to act for you? Is there any reason why a person that you named should no longer act for you? Do you have a Power of Attorney? Maybe you did not need one the last time you prepared a Will, but maybe you should consider preparing one now. Review your Living Will. Ask yourself the same questions as your Power of Attorney. Has there been any changes in your medical conditions that would change the medical directives in your current Living Will? If after reviewing your current estate planning documents you feel that they should be changed, now is the time to discuss your concerns with an estate planning attorney. The attorneys at R. C. Shea and Associates have over 100 combined years of preparing estate planning documents. Call us to schedule an appointment to review your documents with you.

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.

Police Warn Of IRS Phone Scams MANCHESTER – The Manchester Township Police Department recently became aware of an Internal Revenue Service phone scam that has been reportedly taking place throughout the United States. The way the scam works is that criminal entities contact residents via telephone claiming to be IRS employees or claiming to be working as agents on behalf of the IRS. During these phone calls, the scammers attempt to obtain money and or personal information from residents by attempting to frighten people with threats of law suits and or criminal arrests/ warrants. The police department wants to advise the public that the IRS does not contact people by phone. The IRS will send correspondence via certified mail with a green receipt card. Those that had their taxes prepared by an accountant or certified tax professional should contact them directly with any questions. There is no need for Manchester Township residents to notify the Manchester Police
Department about having received a phone call from a suspected scammer, unless the resident provided them with their personal information (social security number, date of birth, bank account information, etc.) and/or money. In these cases, a police report may be helpful in repairing an individual’s credit, and or obtaining a new SSN. Be advised that federal, state and local law enforcement agencies are aware of the above scam. Contact the IRS directly for questions or to report scams at 800-366-4484 or the following local offices: 732-660-0063 (Freehold Office) or at 609-989-0533 (Trenton Office). It is best to report scams to the IRS directly as they have their own law enforcement component to investigate these scam calls, which originate mostly out of the country. Reminder: do not answer any calls that have a phone number that is unfamiliar to you and never give any personal information over the phone.

Shop Manchester Tax Rebate Program
MANCHESTER – Shop Manchester is a partnership between Manchester Township and the local business community that gives residents the opportunity to earn rebates on their property taxes by shopping locally at participating businesses. The program is simple. Participating merchants offer a rebate to residents who are enrolled in the program. When residents shop or dine at those establishments and present their “Shop Manchester” card, the resident will pay the full amount and have the rebate applied to their property taxes. The resident will receive credit for all of their accumulated rebates on
their third quarter tax bill. To obtain a free “Shop Manchester” card, residents can contact the Manchester Township Purchasing Division at 732-657-8121, ext. 3500 Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cards will also be available to participating merchants. Merchants interested in participating should contact FinCredit, the program administrator, at 732-946-0919. For more information and a list of participating merchants, visit manchestertwp.com/ departments/department-of-administration/ purchasing/shop-manchester.

NEW JERSEY – New Jersey Blood Ser vices, a division of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply of all blood types, but especially O-negative – the “universal” blood which can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several blood types is running below the desired target level. “It’s simple: hospital patient demand for blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,” said NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are always reasons but we have to overcome that for the sake of hospital patients who need us.”
This is one of the toughest times of the year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for our dedicated supporters to roll up their sleeves to make sure we’re able to provide our hospital partners with whatever they need to take care of their patients.” Blood products have a short shelf life – from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day there are patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood products can’t be manufactured. They can only come from volunteer blood donors who take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor center. To donate blood or for information on how to organize a blood drive, call 800-933-2566 or visit nybloodcenter.org.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of january 6 - january 12
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): During the week ahead, you can develop a worthy New Year’s resolution that is built on an inspiring idea or fantasy. You will have ample energy to put your plans into motion, but must be methodical in the execution. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Enjoy the best of both worlds in the week to come. You can enjoy being spoiled and pamper a loved one, too. You may gain knowledge or discover information that gives you the upper hand in a delicate situation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You might possess loads of ambition but may hesitate to take necessary steps because you are afraid of making a mistake. In the week ahead don’t hesitate to give your best effort, as practice makes perfect. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The week to come could cause you to question whether you are being thrifty or miserly. You will know that money is well-spent if it makes someone happy. A new person might not be what he or she seems. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Finding ways to become more efficient and organized might be at the top of your “to do” list in the week ahead. Although you may be disappointed in someone, or something, you will learn a valuable lesson. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you’re feeling like you’re not doing what you’re supposed to be doing maybe it is time to organize your visions of success into a priority list. This week develop your ambitions and make some sensible resolutions.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Harness your energies and use them wisely in the week ahead. Follow through on an inspiring thought, whether it comes through a friend or mentor or from reading material, but keep a tight rein on your wallet. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An eagerness to take risks might be at odds with shrewd business tactics during the upcoming week. Focus your enthusiasm instead on making a good impression on the people you meet at social gatherings. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ringing out the old might have more significance for you than for others. Saturn is no longer in your sign, so you will find you have more freedom to plan for the year ahead as this first week of the year unfolds. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the week ahead change the word “me” into “we.” You might think that your wants and needs are the most important, but other people count just as much. Focus on ways to include your loved ones in your plans. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may enjoy a series of magical moments in the week ahead because you know how to make a great impression on others. Use your networking skills to make new contacts and widen your sphere of influence. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Get ready to go out on the town. This is the day to celebrate new beginnings with those in your social circle. You are in good standing with your loved ones and will be able to make new friends in the week ahead.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Bread Winner: A Winning Recipe To Help You Keep Two New Year’s Resolutions By Wolfgang Puck
Now that Christmas is over and the new year has begun, we all face an important challenge that only gets bigger and bigger by the moment: Sticking to our New Year’s resolutions. As important as those promises to ourselves may be, however, there is no real mystery over what we’ll resolve. In fact, I’ll bet you can easily guess the two most common goals. That’s right! In the coming year, a majority of people will want to eat more healthfully (or lose weight). And most of us will also want to manage our money more wisely and save more. Not surprisingly, few people keep up their resolve. Some surveys show that as many as 80 percent of resolutions are abandoned by February! So, how do you stick to yours? I think success comes from approaching goals realistically; making small, achievable changes in your daily life that eventually become habits and add up to bigger successes. And the best way I know to both eat smartly while saving money is to prepare nourishing food at home. The recipe I’d like to share is a perfect example of that approach. My whole wheat bread with dark chocolate and cherries is not only delicious but also low in fat (which contributes fewer than a third of its 188 calories per two-slice serving) and a decent source of dietary fiber (2.69 grams per serving). Not only that, but the chocolate and cherries are also excellent sources of the antioxidants health professionals say we should include in our diets to help safeguard us against illness. Better still: The bread is fun to make and a great activity for a cold or rainy weekend afternoon. And the delicious results will cost you far less than anything similar from an upscale bakery. The bread is also admirably versatile. I like to toast a slice and enjoy it with my morning coffee. You can soak slices in a mixture of beaten eggs, egg whites, and some reduced-fat milk, then pan-fry it with nonstick spray, to make amazing healthy French toast. I’ve even been known to eat some of this bread at the end of a meal! (Here’s a fun tip: Top a toasted slice with a scoop of low-fat frozen yogurt for a satisfying impromptu dessert.) The recipe also lends itself to many variations. If you want an even lower low-fat version, double the amount of cherries and leave out the chocolate chips. Or try substituting other dried fruit, individually or in combination, cutting up larger pieces into morsels about the size of cherries or raisins. Any approach you take, I think you’ll be more than happy with the results - and with the money you save. Here’s to a healthy and prosperous 2018! WHOLE WHEAT BREAD WITH DARK CHOCOLATE AND DRIED CHERRIES
Makes two 9-inch (22.5-cm) loaves For the sponge: 1 tablespoon active dry yeast 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) lukewarm water, 80 F (27 C) 1 tablespoon honey 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour 1 cup (250 mL) whole wheat flour For the dough: 3/4 cup (185 mL) all-purpose flour 3/4 cup (185 mL) whole wheat flour 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup (250 mL) semisweet chocolate chips 1 cup (250 mL) pitted dried cherries, rehydrated in warm water for 15 minutes, thoroughly drained Nonstick cooking spray First, prepare the sponge: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, stir together the yeast, water and honey until the yeast has dissolved. Stir in the all-purpose and whole wheat flours just until a soft, loose dough forms. Cover with a clean towel and set aside at warm room temperature for 20 minutes. Next, prepare the dough: Add the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, the salt and the olive oil to the sponge. Fit the stand mixer with the dough hook and attach the bowl containing the dough. Mix on the second-lowest speed for 1 minute. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Continue mixing on medium speed until the dough looks fairly well developed and elastic, 8 minutes longer. Add the chocolate chips and the rehydrated drained cherries to the mixer bowl. Continue mixing at medium speed until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes longer. Remove the bowl from the mixer, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Divide the dough into two equal pieces. On a lightly floured work surface and with clean hands, gently roll and shape each piece to make an even ball shape. Cover the balls with a damp kitchen towel and leave to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. Evenly spray two 9-inch (22.5-cm) loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray. With your hands, shape each ball of dough into a 9-inch (22.5-cm) loaf shape and transfer it to a prepared loaf pan. Cover the pans with a damp towel and leave at warm room temperature to rise until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C). With a sharp knife, lightly score three evenly spaced diagonal slashes across the top of each loaf. Put the loaves in the preheated oven and bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Carefully turn the loaves out of the pans onto a wire rack to cool. To serve, slice with a sharp serrated bread knife.
