Wildfire Safety Group Forming
By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – A volunteer group addressing wildfire safety is being formed in the township, officials said. This group would be made up of a mix of volunteers and professionals, but members would not be paid for their service, nor would they receive benefits, Councilman Sam Fusaro said. The members would be working with the State Forest Fire Service “to make sure we’re doing everything we can to minimize the risk,” he said. A few of the villages are already Firewise Communities, he said. This is a designation that the area’s residents have been educated on how to be proactive to minimize the chances of wildfires and the losses that can occur. There have been several more recent forest fires in the surrounding areas, including one that started last year on the edge of Manchester and one starting in Beachwood in 2014, and Fusaro recalled a huge fire in 1995. This one reportedly needed hundreds of firefighters to combat as it burned more than 15,000 acres. Evacuations and emergency shelters were needed. “If the wind hadn’t changed direction, we probably would have lost half of Whiting.”

Council:
Continued From Page 1 left by Councilman Brendan Weiner, who moved out of town. They thanked the council members and township staff for their hard work. Mayor Kenneth Palmer said that there needs to be some reinvestment back into Manchester. Much of this is the township’s paving plan, and upgrades to the water and sewer system. “You can put them off for a little while, but they will catch up,” he said. He also said that he will be focused on bringing more into town: more grants, more state funding, and more businesses. Wallis also addressed Manchester’s role in what is going on with the rest of the state. With a new governor, he said he wants to continue pushing for school tax reform, although he doesn’t think Phil Murphy will be very receptive to it. Historically, Manchester receives fewer tax dollars per student than urban areas in northern New Jersey because of the school funding formula. Additionally, since Murphy had wanted legalization of marijuana, Wallis said he would consider a ban on sales throughout the township. Berkeley Township recently introduced an ordinance that does this. Locally, he said the township needs to seek as many grants as possible. The police department needs a few more officers, and a few more non-officer staff on the clerical side. A number of appointments were also made at the meeting: • Sam Fusaro to the Open Space Advisory Committee • James Vaccaro Sr. to the Planning Board • Maureen Kumitis as public agency compliance officer • Art Abline as emergency management co-
ordinator • Mark Pellecchia as deputy Office of Emergency Management coordinator • Joseph Faccone of Samuel Klein & Co. as auditor • Angela Koutsouris of Gilmore and Monahan as attorney • Jerry Dasti of Dasti, Murphy, Ulaky, Koutsouris and Connors for legal services in utilities • Armando Riccio as labor counsel • Michael McKenna of Hiering, Gannon, McKenna; Stephen Trimboli of Trimboli & Prusinowski; and Jerry Dasti as special labor counsel • Edward Purcell of DiFrancesco, Bateman, Kunzman, Davis, Lehrer and Flaum as special counsel for telecommunications • Jean Cipriani and Robin LaBue of Gilmore and Monahan as counsel on affordable housing matters • Community Grants, Planning & Housing as administrative agent in affordable housing matters • Christopher Walrath of Gluck/Walrath as bond counsel • Gregory McGuckin and Christopher Dasti of Dasti, Murphy, Ulaky, Koutsouris & Connors as municipal prosecutors Matthew Sage as public defender • Brian DiStefano and Brian Rumpf as conflict defenders • Robert Mullin of Maser Consulting as engineer • Alan Dittenhofer of Remington and Vernick Engineers for engineering services for water and sewer • Center State Engineering; Frank Little and Douglas Klee of Owen, Little and Associates; Patrick Jeffrey and Charles Rooney of T&M Associates as special project engineer Kim Whelan and Noreen White of Acacia Financial Group as financial advisors

Murphy:
Continued From Page 1 make a few comments before the swearing-in ceremony. “The real reason I’m here today is because I won 36 percent of the vote in Brick, and John [Ducey] won 65 percent, so I’m down here trying to figure out a few lessons and figure what the heck went on,” joked the energetic Murphy, who wore sneakers with his suit. “This is a community that I’ve really enjoyed coming to, and you all have been incredibly gracious having me here at every turn,” he said. Murphy gave a particular shout out to the veterans and to the members of law enforcement who attended the Organizational Meeting. He said he had two points he wanted to make in his comments. “Number one, we’re a lot stronger if we get there together, and it will last longer, and so notwithstanding that we’ve all got our great partisan passions, the fact of the matter is this is the time for the state to close ranks and work together,” said Murphy in his unscripted remarks. Murphy said smart governing supersedes partisan politics to best serve the constituents of New Jersey. “That’s another reason why I love coming here, because this is a community that really works well - where the partisan piece is checked at the door, folks come into this
chamber and they try to do the right things by their citizens,” said the Governor-Elect. The second point Murphy said he wanted to convey was, despite problems such as high property taxes, veterans who are not getting the care they need, “anti-immigrant stuff, all of the things you feel like we’ll never be able to deal with…we too infrequently step back to say this is a great state, this is a great country,” he said to applause. Murphy said that the US is still “The Beacon on the Hill,” and that New Jersey epitomizes America by being the most diverse state in the union. “My guess is, we’ll never be the low-cost, cheap place to be,” he said, “but it’s worth it because you get a lot back in New Jersey. You get great public schools, great public transportation, diversity, communities millennials want to live in, and a shore that’s second-to-none.” Murphy recalled a recent phone conversation he had with the governor of California when he said he wanted New Jersey to be the California of the east coast. “And someone said to me, ‘Murphy, you have to got to get more attitude, you should’ve said California, you’ll be lucky if you’re the New Jersey of the west coast,’” he said. He thanked Mayor Ducey and the governing body for the honor of swearing them into office. “God Bless you all and God Bless New Jersey,” said Murphy, who said he had to leave to attend another event.

year. First on this list is maintaining the fi scal stability of taxpayer money. According to Little, the county has been very successful at maintaining a fiscally sound budget for some time. “We up-fronted over $100 million for the clean-up costs of Superstorm Sandy,” back in 2012, he said. Due to the stability of the budget, said Little, the county was able to up front a large sum of money to go towards the clean-up effort after Sandy left the county ridden with massive debris and storm damage. The county was able to do this while saving the taxpayers millions of dollars. Taxpayers later applied for Federal Emergency Management Agency grants that would reimburse them for the repairs and clean-up done following the storm and then paid it back to the county, said Little. Also on the to-do list for 2018 are improvements to roads, infrastructure, and stormwater projects. Little said that the county will be spending anywhere between $30-40 million on these projects in order to maintain and improve the largest county road system in New Jersey. “We have 624 miles of roads…and 240 bridges that we maintain,” he said. Two factors that Little also emphasized as very important to the board this year are the large senior citizen and veteran communities in the county. “Ocean County has more senior citizens The General’s

fectively to enact programs and solve issues throughout the county. He said that, despite each freeholder working in their own individual department, they all make a great effort to come to agreements when working together because he believes it instills confidence in the people. “We try to speak as one untied voice,” he said. Little has been on the Board for 15 years, now taking the position of Director Freeholder. The longest serving member of the Board is Deputy Director Bartlett, serving for 39 years. Freeholder Joseph Vicari has been a member for 37 years and Freeholder John Kelly, 28 years. Freeholder Virginia Haines is the newest member having served for only 2 years.

[and veterans] than any other county in New Jersey,” said Little. With 140,000-160,000 senior citizens and 40,000-50,000 veterans, he noted that the county programs for these communities are designed specifically to help these large populations. Despite the unfortunate decrease in the veteran population as War II veterans pass away, according to Little, the focus on these two exceptionally large populations still remains strong for this year. Another significant focus of the board will be tourism. “The tourism industry generates about $4 billion and 60,00070,000 seasonal jobs,” said Little. Although the jobs are seasonal, Little noted that they teach kids looking for summer work how to develop a good work ethic and immerse themselves better into the professional world. The board plans to dedicate time to maintaining and supporting the tourism industry of Ocean County because it is such an integral part of the economy. Little is also very adamant about protecting the Joint Base McGuire - Dix Lakehurst. “The Joint Base is the largest employer in the state of New Jersey,” he said. “We are very active in working to protect that base from the ever-present issue of downsizing and consolidation.” Little believes the base is a key for national defense as well as technological advancements. Overall, for the New Year, Little said that the Board of Chosen Freeholders plans to continue working together ef-

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Kaepernick’s Kneel Is A Love Of Country In protest of police brutality and racism, Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the national anthem. It was an act of genuine patriotism, a genuine love of country. Too many people make the mistake of equating patriotism with nationalism. The genuine patriot measures the rules of government against the will (The Golden Rule) of the Creator. Where there is agreement, the rules or norms are followed. Where there is disagreement, the will of the Creator is followed.
On the other hand, the nationalist places all authority in the hands of the political state. “My country, right or wrong,” is the shout of the nationalist. The ultimate fallacy of this position was exposed at the Nuremberg trials when the German guard was asked, “Why did you kill all those people in the concentration camps ?” And the nationalist answer came back, “I was simply following orders.” Ray Kalainikas Manalapan

Flood Insurance Bill Doesn’t Hold Water I don’t understand how any self-respecting New Jersey representative could support this legislation. We deserve a National Flood Insurance Program that prioritizes families and policy holders over private insurance companies, is affordable, funds accurate flood maps, and helps us to be prepared for future storms. The legislation passed by the House does not fund flood maps. It says policy holders are “to exhaust all administrative options” before we file a claim in court. It rewards the same private, “Write Your Own” insurance companies who were paid by taxpayers while they underpaid my family and thousands of others by allowing them to offer their own competing private products. Why would Representatives MacArthur and Lance vote to weaken the NFIP and our protections? We thank the rest of our New Jersey representatives for saying no. Joe Mangino, Co-founder, New Jersey Organizing Project
Tax “Scam” Should Not Have Passed Congressman MacArthur says he worked to save NJ taxpayers and that is such a pathetic joke. He was the only representative from NJ to vote for this tax scam which will add over a trillion dollars to our deficit, 13 million people will lose insurance, and only the extremely wealthy will benefit. What he fought for was pointless. Even if his provisions for property tax survive it doesn’t help! He “fought” for a property tax deduction up to $10,000; with the other deductions being taken away that is useless. A single individual will have a standard deduction of $12,000 and would use that instead. Here is an example: A
Letters To The Editor person used to have $18,000 and it is actually a safer people voting in our elecin itemized deductions; now only has $6,000 property tax. Using the standard deduction of $12,000; this person has lost $6,000 in deductions and more than $8,000 for the two personal exemptions that are also gone. The plan Congressman MacArthur voted for also raises the lowest tax rate to 12%, so the very least he just cost this person is $1,680. But, this person should feel great that MacArthur’s taxes will be the one to actually decrease. The entire tax bill is a scam, but Rep. MacArthur’s act is a travesty. Gail Cohn Toms River, NJ
Treat Cannabis Like Coffee There are going to be a lot of so-called experts suggesting how New Jersey can regulate legal cannabis, but most of these lawyers don’t understand the law themselves. The correct answer is solely to remove the state-level penalties from the New Jersey 2C Criminal Code, without regulating. As long as cannabis remains a federally illegal substance, all state regulation is illegal (Michigan Canners & Freezers v. Agricultural Bd., 464 U.S. 548, 1984), all business licensing fees/pot specific taxes are considered money laundering under federal law (RICO), and any records of who is providing pot could be seized by the DEA for federal criminal prosecutions. Such record keeping as a condition of compliance violates the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination (Leary v. U.S., 395 U.S. 6, 1969). During the Obama years, many people would have laughed off these factual legal assertions. But with prohibitionist President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, these realities are not a joke. We shouldn’t worry about an age requirement, as teenagers can already get cannabis easier than anyone,

“Secret” Fire District Elections Believe it or not, Election Day is next month! T he “secret ” elect ion s often have more than a million dollars at stake, a nd t hey af fect you r property taxes. Voters in Brick, Jackson , L a kewo o d , Lit t le Eg g Ha r b or, Plu m st e d and Toms River should pay at tention. These Ocea n Cou nt y tow ns have f ire dist r icts that can raise money above and beyond the fund-raisi n g s ol i c i t a t i o n s t h e y s e nd you , a nd b e yond any money provided in municipal budgets. The d ist r ict s r aise most of their money by holding l it t le -k now n ele c t ion s on the third Saturday of Febr uary, probably at a firehouse near you. Most voters are unawa re of t he elect ion s because f i re dist r icts are not required to mail sample ballots. You have to go to a firehouse to get infor mation about your district’s budget, ballot questions for big-ticket pu r ch a s e s , a nd c a nd idates for f ire com missioners. No wonder these elections have the lowest vo t e r t u r n o u t s of t h e year! For example, Lakewood, with over 100,000 people, had a special fire elect ion i n December that att racted only 109 voters to approve $1.3 million in spending. The president of the New Jersey State Association of Fire Districts a d m it ted , “ T he Leg islat u r e h a s a lways h a d issues with not enough
tions, and people say it’s o n ly t h e f i r e m e n voting.” That’s why Assembly man Ronald Dancer ( R- O c e a n) s p o n s o r e d legislation, recently enacted into law, enabling (but not requiring) f ire dist r icts to move thei r elections to the Novembe r, a s wa s done w it h school boa rd elect ions years ago. That would save taxpayers the cost of Februar y elections and shine some su n lig ht on the f ire f iefdoms that have kept property owners in the dark. T h e n e w l aw a l s o encourages (but doesn’t require) districts to keep tax increases within the state’s 2% cap. Districts with November votes no longe r have t o of fe r a budget refe rendu m , a s long as increases don’t exceed the limit. We all recognize that firefighters, whether volu nteers or paid, do a great job that’s essential to the com mu nit y, and they do it bravely. It’s the commissioners who have to stop operati ng u nder t he r a d a r, br i ng their pseudo-public operations into the 21st century, allow transparency so t axpayers will have adequate information to vote, and let them vote d u r i n g t h e N ov e m b e r general election. It’s time to press your tow n’s f ire dist r icts to hold their an nual elections on the real Election D ay, n ot i f y t a x p aye r s who the candidates are for the paid commissioner jobs, and explain how they want to spend your money. Ask you r mayor and council to press them, too. Be su re to vote on Saturday, February 17th b e t we e n 2 a nd 9 p.m . at your local firehouse. Maybe next year it will be in November.

Expensive Snowstorm Blankets Area
By Chris Lundy and Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – The first big snowstorm hit the area, costing a lot of money and making dangerous driving conditions. The storm, with terms like “bombogenesis” and “bomb cyclone” attached to it, dumped tons of snow that, because of the high winds, have been hard to measure in inch count. Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato said parts of his town ended up with more than 18 inches of snow, which was the most of the region. This is in light of early predictions calling for between 4 and 8 inches. “We had crews and private contractors out starting at 6 a.m. Thursday to begin plowing streets. This was in addition to our regular sanitation and recycling pick-ups that needed to be done first,” he said. Amato noted that Berkeley is 42 square miles, with 271 miles of roads. In this are 300 courts, culs-de-sac and dead ends, which are more difficult to plow and require front end loaders. Given all that, it takes about 24-36 hours to get to all of the streets and move that much snow safely. It took about 100 pieces of equipment. “The streets were done by Friday and the Courts were completed on Saturday,” he said. “Some areas had large snow drifts, over 3 to 5 feet, thanks to the 45 mph winds. It was extremely challenging for our staff.” He thanked the town’s dedicated employees for all their hard work during the storm. He estimated that the total cost of the storm would be between $350,000 and $400,000. There is currently $500,000 allotted for snow in the 2018 budget. Toms River, similarly, has about 600 miles of streets, Mayor Thomas Kelaher said. Some of these are county and state roads, but ultimately, there is a large amount of roadway to clear off. There were about 260 pieces of equipment doing the work. The cost of the storm is yet to be calculated, but the township spent $600,000 on the last storm of this nature, so he said he is expecting similar numbers. Gov. Chris Christie called for a state of emergency, which meant that the only drivers on the road should be people responding to emergencies. That didn’t stop everybody. Police departments had to state repeatedly to stay home. “We are reiterating our previously issued no
driving alert,” issued a statement from Ralph Stocco of the Toms River Police Department. “As the storm intensifies, numerous motorists have not heeded the warnings sent out. Our police officers are risking their own safety to respond to vehicles stuck in the snow, spin outs off of the road, and minor crashes. The vast majority of these drivers are not essential employees.” Furthermore, when police asked why people were out in the snow, they were giving reasons that were not worth risking lives, such as buying items from a store or just wanting to see how bad it was. Police need to be available to handle medical emergencies, he said. “Tying up these officers unnecessarily could conceivably cost lives,” he said. “Please do not risk your health, our officers, or potential needless damage to your vehicle.” Barnegat Township saw a high volume of calls during the sizeable storm as cars became stuck in the snow and snow-covered sidewalks made it hazardous for kids to walk to school. About 90 percent of these trapped vehicles became stuck on county roads such as West Bay Avenue, Barnegat Boulevard, and Lighthouse Drive, according to Lt. Keith Germain of the Barnegat Police Department. Slippery snow-covered sidewalks and bus stops also created unsafe conditions for kids on their way to and from school. “Our officers provided traffic monitoring and traffic control, shoveled sidewalks in high-traffic areas, and even picked up and drove about 10 students to school in situations where the students would have otherwise been forced to walk down the middle of the street in traffic,” said Germain. According to the National Weather Service, Barnegat received about 8.5-10 inches of snow. The National Weather Service predicted a total accumulation of 12 to 16 inches. Due to the heavy snowfall, visibility was less than a quarter mile, which made driving extremely dangerous. Winds were predicted to be from 25-35 mph with gusts up to 55 mph. Schools closed on Thursday and Friday, and some even had a delayed opening on Monday. There was snowfall earlier in the season, but these were much less. Since they happened on the weekend, a lot of towns didn’t even need to plow those lesser storms.

Ocean County Offers Help To Seniors During Winter Weather
OCEAN COUNTY – As we remain in the grips of harsh winter weather, Ocean County wants to make certain that its senior population, in particular the frail and homebound, is prepared for the extreme cold. “While snowy weather and plunging temperatures have an effect on everyone, the elderly are often more susceptible to the dangers of winter,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as Chairman of Senior Services. “We cannot stop the winter weather from coming. But we can be prepared for it.” With about 170,000 seniors calling Ocean County home, Vicari urges any senior who is in need of assistance to contact the Ocean County Office of Senior Services at 732-9292091 to determine what kind of help may be available. For those seniors having trouble meeting their utility bills, Vicari urged seniors to contact the Office of Senior Services for information on the 2017/2018 Energy/Utility Discount Programs. For example, Universal Service Fund is a federally funded program to assist low-income households with their heating bills. Eligibility is based on household size and monthly income. Applications will be automatically sent to those who received a heating benefit last year. Lifeline is another program that offers assistance to persons who meet the PAAD eligibility requirements for 2017-2018. Lifeline benefits are provided for electricity and natural gas. “These are just two of the many programs available that can help provide assistance in paying utility bills,” said Vicari, who serves as chairman of Senior Services. If you are not a Home Energy Assistance/ Universal Service Fund recipient and would like to apply, call the Office of Senior Services at 732-929-2091 or 1-800-668-4899. If you are already a recipient and have any questions, please contact O.C.E.A.N., Inc. at 732-244-9041. Vicari urges residents to check in on their elderly neighbors, family members and friends. He also noted that seniors participating in the County’s nutrition program are checked

on daily when their meal is delivered. During inclement weather, additional meals are usually delivered before an impending storm so the senior will have food in the house should drivers be unable to get to them. “For instance, we anticipate additional meals to be delivered this week as the weather forecast includes possible snow,” he said. “The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders with Community Services Inc., our nutrition program provider work diligently in making sure seniors are taken care of during all kinds of weather.” Vicari cautioned seniors who venture out during harsh weather to be mindful of ice. According to the National Institutes for Health, more than 1.6 million older Americans go to the emergency room each year for fall-related injuries. One of the major causes of a fall is ice and black ice which can occur without warning. To lessen the chances of a fall, be cautious of footwear and make arrangements to have even a simple handrail installed to provide the necessary support to help maintain balance and keep you from falling. As we age, our sense of touch also declines. Arthritis, diabetes, poor circulation, and a multitude of other conditions can cause lack of feeling for older adults, especially in the extremities. Some people may not be as aware of the change in temperature as they need to be. To prevent hypothermia, keep your home’s thermostat set at 68 degrees or above, dress in layers of loose fitting clothing and keep your head covered when you are outdoors. A great deal of heat is lost when your head is exposed. As we age our skin becomes thinner and drier, thus more prone to tears. Certain medications can even affect the lining of your nose, creating an increased risk for nose bleeds. Keep the dangers of dryness low by using a humidifier to keep the air moist, drink plenty of water and eat foods high in water content like soups and vegetables, and moisturize your skin daily with creams or lotions. “There are some simple steps we can take to keep us safe as we weather the cold,” Vicari said. “And there also is help available through the Office of Senior Services.”

Customers Are Urged to Take Precautions During Current Winter Weather Conditions
NEW JERSEY – SUEZ is reminding its customers that this week’s freezing winter weather, coupled with the National Weather Service’s prediction for an upcoming powerful storm system for coastal sections of New Jersey, is potential for water lines in homes, businesses and underground infrastructures to crack. “Because of this unusually cold weather pattern, our crews have been fighting freezing temperatures, responding to outages, emergencies and repairing multiple water leaks around the clock in our service territory,” said Jim Mastrokalos, Director of Operations. “It is critical that our residents know that these bitter cold temperatures can cause major plumbing ruptures, and customers must take immediate steps now in preventing possible fractures in their homes and businesses,” he added. Mastrokalos added that although SUEZ crews are always ready and available in the event of emergencies throughout the service area, customers are responsible for plumbing on their own properties. SUEZ recommends that customers run a constant, thin stream of tap water from a location farthest from the water meter to safeguard lines. Opening kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to gradually allow warmer air to circulate around
plumbing is also helpful. Mastrokalos said that because water expands as it freezes, it potentially prevents water from flowing properly, resulting in cracks to water lines. He added that if residents notice water leaks on their premises or in streets they should immediately contact the company’s customer service toll-free number at 1-877-565-1456 or its social media sites. Household plumbing, water meters and pipes located on outside walls, basements or crawl spaces can also be affected, leading to costly repairs. To prevent pipes subject to cold or freezing from cracking or breaking, SUEZ advises to wrap them in commercial insulation or heat tape available at local hardware stores. If a vacation is being planned it is important to set the thermostat to at least a minimal heat setting in homes and businesses to help protect pipes during temperature drops and changeability. If residents are uncertain about their home pipelines or plumbing system’s endurance during the cold months or in the course of weather fluctuations, contacting a certified plumbing contractor can help safeguard homes and prevent unwelcome bursting pipes and water damage.

It’s More Than an Annoyance — It’s Misophonia
Chewing. Slurping. Sniffling. These everyday sounds can drive some of us crazy, and now we are one step closer to knowing why. Often misunderstood and misdiagnosed, misophonia is a soundprocessing disorder that many experience but don’t understand and don’t know what to do about. About Misophonia -Misophonia (which translates roughly to hatred of sound) refers to strong reactions to specific sounds that can include anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating, and obsessive-compulsive behavior. The offending sounds are ones that happen in everyday life, making avoidance difficult. Misophonics report anxiety, panic, and anger when exposed to trigger sounds. This compromises their ability to complete everyday tasks, be successful in the workplace, and engage in social interactions. Causes -A 2017 study published in the journal Current Biology discovered that in misophonics, the part of the brain that joins our senses with our emotions — the anterior insular cortex — is overly active, and it’s connected differently to areas involved in remembering experiences, according to Dr. Sukhbinder Kumar, the lead researcher from the Institute of Neuroscience at Newcastle University. He tells The New York Times, “We think that misophonia may be heavily connected to recalling past memories, because people with misophonia have had very bad experiences.” Onset can occur in early childhood, with sensitivities becoming serious and affecting everyday coping usually between ages 8 and 14. If untreated, it can last a lifetime. We do not know how many are affected, as it has only recently been diagnosed as a condition. Treatment- Researchers do not know why specific sounds trigger such a negative reaction; Sukhbinder hopes to identify the brain signature of the trigger sounds, which will help with finding treatment. For now, he hopes misophonics will find relief in knowing that what they experience is an actual disorder. Treatment has been most effective when based on a tinnitus-retraining therapy (TRT) model first introduced by Pawel J. Jastreboff, Ph.D., Sc.D., and Margaret M.
Jastreboff, Ph.D., who coined the term misophonia in 2003. TRT, a combination of sound therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, has proven effective in 83 percent of cases. In TRT, pleasant environmental sounds or music are introduced into the patient’s ear canal. The patient learns to create positive associations with sound and practice intentional rethinking of trigger sounds. Use of earplugs or music-streaming earbuds to block out offending noises is not recommended. This exacerbates the problem by increasing sensitivity to sound. It’s More Than an Annoyance — It’s Misophonia. Dr. Izzy & Staff are always available to answer questions about serious hearing care issues. Please call 732-818-3610 or visit gardenstatehearing.com.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Vitamin K2 Is A Powerful Prostate Cancer Fighter By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Couples have plans, but after the C word is dropped, those plans change to unite a couple in the medical process. After skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most widespread cancer among men, affecting one in seven every single year. Prostate cancer is also the third leading cause of cancer death, after lung and colorectal cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. The good news today is some significant strides are being made in the prevention of prostate cancer as well as the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. In fact, we have now learned that one remarkable nutrient can have wondrous cancer fighting and preventative properties for all kinds of cancers. You might have thought vitamin C or D3, but you’d be wrong. It’s actually vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 is proving to be a marvelous ally in the war on prostate cancer. In fact, K2 along with vitamin D3, work harmoniously together for a wide range of diseases. Higher levels of K2 and higher intake of K2 are associated with lower prostate cancer risk, and vitamin K2 deficiency status has been found in most men with aggressive prostate cancers. Researchers for the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) have also found that increasing one’s intake of vitamin K2 may lower the risk of getting prostate cancer dramatically by up to 35%. With a one in seven risk of developing prostate cancer within their lifetime, this is
an encouraging discovery! But because we’re talking about a vitamin, I’m sure you won’t see commercials about it. And K2 is not something you have to buy, it’s commonly found in foods that most of us already enjoy like salads, green vegetables, green superfoods, as well as some meat and cheese. There are also supplements that are sold without prescription, at health food stores, however I encourage you to ask your physician if these are right for you, as K2 can interfere with blood-thinning medications. For people on the healing process with cancer, their number one goal is to stop the spread of cancer to other organs and tissues, termed metastasis. When prostate cancer is caught early on, before it has spread to many other organs, the interventions are more useful. Vitamin K2 has also proven to have neuroprotective effects upon the brain, preventing Alzheimer’s and dementia, to shuttle calcium out of the arteries and to the bones, where it hardens and strengthens them, helps wounds and bones to heal faster, improves the skin, and now hear this, reverses wrinkles as well. Vitamin K2 is found in foods such as dairy products, meat, and dark leafy greens like salads, Swiss chard, spinach, and other greens. It is found in very high concentration in a popular Asian fermented soy dish called Natto. Other foods high in vitamin K2 include ground beef, liver, chicken as well we cheese, egg yolks and butter.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Title Insurance: Why Every Purchaser Needs It
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Michael J. Deem, Esq, of R.C. Shea and Associates
Many people ask their attorneys, “what is a title search and why do I need title insurance?” Next to having the appropriate funding to purchase your new home, ensuring that the home you intend to purchase has clean or clear title is essential. All mortgage companies require clear title. It is important to ensure that you have title insurance in the event a title issue arises after you have purchased the home. Title searchers review old deeds, mortgages and wills at the County Clerk’s office to trace the ownership history of the property. They look for any current or past mortgages, liens or judgments on the property that have not been discharged as well as whether there are any tax liens or unpaid municipal utility bills. The title searchers will also examine the chain of title to confirm that the seller’s ownership rights have not been affected and that the sellers are, in fact, selling you a home without any adverse possessory or equitable interests such as pending litigation or easements. These examples are endless, but the title company performing the search has the expertise to find all relevant concerns prior to the purchase. Once the title company completes its search it will issue an insurance policy after closing which will insure you and your lender should anyone at any time in the future come knocking on your door claiming an ownership or possessory interest in your property. Should this occur, the title company will step- in and provide you with a legal defense and assume the costs of any litigation. This coverage is similar to automobile insurance after you have become involved in an automobile collision. After an automobile collision, your automobile insurer will provide you with legal assistance and take corrective mea-
sures in the event you are sued. Fortunately, unlike automobile in- Michael J. Deem surance where you pay your premium annually, monthly or quarterly, your title insurance premium is paid only once at the time of closing and this one time premium will provide insurance coverage for as long as you own the home. It is also important to note that if you have a mortgage you need to obtain both a Lender’s and Owner’s policy. The Lender’s policy covers the mount of the mortgage that is due at the time any claim is made. An Owner’s policy covers your ownership interest, which is a relatively inexpensive addition to the policy premium. In New Jersey, title insurance is usually paid by the buyer. After closing the buyer’s attorney may need to perform additional legal tasks to complete the conditions of the title policy such as filing additional deeds and discharge of mortgages. The purchaser will receive the final title policy in the mail approximately 6-8 weeks after closing. While all of this may be overwhelming, we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Wills and Trusts, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate, Medicaid, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning, Powers of Attorney and much more.

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.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of january 13 - january 19
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Apply brainpower to business ideas or projects and employ the latest technology. Email and software can be valuable tools. You may lose ground if you are too competitive or aggressive in the week ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Every attraction does not constitute true love. A casual flirtation that seems quite fascinating now might repel you by the end of the week or cause some sort of disruption. Focus on work rather than your co-workers. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your mind spins with original ideas and you are happy to discuss them. You may be pushed to make a key decision but should wait until things settle down late in the week. Consider funding via a social media website. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Those in close connection may be focused on climbing the ladder of success as this week unfolds. Don’t distract partners by promising more than you can deliver or inadvertently waste someone’s precious time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Under some conditions in the week ahead you may be tempted to take unreasonable risks with your money and heart. Avoid taking drastic steps or letting your passions rule your head. Avoid confrontations and disputes. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Brilliant is as brilliant does. In the week to come you might be given a chance to show off your intelligence and high ideals. Avoid spending too much on entertainments or hobbies, just to compete with others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A good relationship can outlast a brief skirmish. Strive to create harmony rather than letting a minor clash of opinions put you and a loved one at odds. Displaying flirtatious ways can cause jealousy in the week to come. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t lecture to an empty auditorium. Something that strikes you as important and activates your enthusiasm could encourage you to drag out the soapbox. Your preaching might fall on deaf ears in the week ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sit still and hold on tight. Your financial boat might rock in the coming week, so don’t go overboard. Ingenious ideas or new technologies might seem feasible but could be too expensive to implement. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t scratch an itchy trigger finger. A valuable relationship might be turned topsy-turvy by an issue that will turn out to be a mere tempest in a teacup. Strive for cooperation, not aggravation, this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stick to what you know. You might have the urge to experiment with something new or try innovative methods just for fun. With investment issues in the week ahead, don’t test the waters, but get advice from partners. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Go ahead and make contact. The attractive person who is on your mind might be thinking about you as well. In the week ahead tighten your belt where spending is concerned and buy only things of solid value.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Fortify Yourself During Winter With This Easy Garlic Soup Recipe By Wolfgang Puck
We all know that there are four astronomical seasons in the year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. But, in our daily lives, we divide up the year into so many more seasons: the holidays just past, New Year’s resolutions have just begun; it’s back-to-school season, tax season, vacation season, and on and on. And many of those specialized seasons overlap each other. Right now, we’re in a real seasonal pileup, as resolutions and cold and flu season come right on top of winter. With that in mind, I’d like to share a simple recipe to help you deal with all the many demands this time of year may bring: my Cream of Garlic Soup. First, consider your resolutions. You may have sworn that you’ll save some money in 2018 by enjoying more home-cooked meals. This recipe will help you achieve that goal by producing delicious food from inexpensive ingredients - primarily garlic cloves and potatoes - in only about half an hour. The soup may also help you reach a weight-loss goal, because it’s a dish that satisfies the appetite by being sipped slowly, spoonful by spoonful. (And you can cut the fat and calories from the relatively small amount of cream, just 3 tablespoons per serving, by substituting buttermilk.) Cold and flu season brings its own stuffy, sniffling challenges. But garlic, an abundant ingredient in this recipe, has a long anecdotal history as a popular folk remedy for such illnesses. While medical researchers are still divided on whether or not garlic actually works to fight viruses and relieve congestion, some studies have found evidence that those who eat it regularly get ill less often and suffer less severe symptoms. And while I know the old joke about how someone who eats a lot of garlic can’t get close enough to other people to pass along germs, the garlic in this soup actually turns mild and sweet tasting thanks to blanching in boiling water as the first step in the recipe. Finally, there’s winter itself. To me, few foods chase away the chill of this season more effectively than a hot bowl of soup to start a meal. To help you get the most flavorful results, I’m also happy to share my simple recipe for super-quick rich chicken stock, which takes minutes to prepare and will help make store-bought stock or broth taste surprisingly close to homemade. Start with a good-quality product that’s lower in sodium. Simmer the stock while you’re prepping other ingredients for whatever recipe in which you’ll use it. In addition to the enhancements I list, you can also include leftover chicken bones, other vegetable trimmings or other mild fresh herbs. Here’s to a happy, thrifty, healthy, warming and flavorful bowlful in 2018! CREAM OF GARLIC SOUP Serves 6 For the soup: 2 cups (500 ml) peeled garlic cloves
1 large baking potato, about 3/4 pound (375 g), peeled and cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) cubes 2 cups (500 mL) super-quick rich chicken stock (recipe follows) or good-quality canned chicken or vegetable stock or broth Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 3/4 cup (185 mL) heavy cream Chopped chives (optional garnish) For the basil oil: 1/4 cup (60 mL) packed fresh basil leaves 1/4 cup (60 mL) packed fresh Italian parsley leaves 1 cup (250 mL) extra-virgin olive oil First, blanch the garlic: Put the garlic cloves in a medium saucepan and add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain well. Return the garlic cloves to the pan, add the potatoes and stock, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender enough to piece easily with a fork or sharp knife tip, about 20 minutes. Pour in the cream. Over medium heat, bring back to a gentle boil. Meanwhile, prepare the basil oil: Put the basil, parsley, and oil in a blender and blend until smoothly pureed. Pour through a fine-meshed strainer into a glass bowl; set aside. Rinse out the blender thoroughly. Working in batches if necessary to avoid overfilling, transfer the soup to the blender and blend until smoothly pureed, carefully following the manufacturer’s instruction to avoid spattering. Transfer the soup to a clean saucepan and gentle rewarm over low heat, adjusting the seasonings to taste. To serve, ladle the soup into heated bowls. Drizzle with a small spoonful of basil oil, refrigerating the remainder in an airtight container. You can also garnish with chopped chives, if you wish.
