–Photo courtesy Ocean County Freeholder John Bartlett speaks at the re-opening of Berkeley Island County Park in May. By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – It’s not just naming a park after a politician, it’s naming it after a politician who helped create the park, as well as countless acres of other parks and open space in the county. Berkeley Island County Park will be renamed
the John C. Bartlett Jr. County Park at Berkeley Island, county officials said. It sits on a 25-acre peninsula that juts into Barnegat Bay and Cedar Creek. It’s located at 399 Brennan Concourse in Berkeley. Built in 1982, back when Bartlett was new
to being a Freeholder, it was starting to show its age. And that was before Superstorm Sandy hit it. The park was devastated. More than five years and $8 million later, the county reopened the park in May. Bartlett was on hand to re-open the park, simi-
lar to how he was there when it opened. “In many ways, it’s been my baby,” he said at the time. He was seen playing on the playground ropes and dodging through the water park to avoid getting wet. (Park - See Page 5)
By Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD – It’s fitting that the legacy of a beloved art teacher would be told in photographs and future art. Lynne Tagliaferro, who taught art at Beachwood Elementary School, passed away recently from cancer. The Beachwood Parent Teacher Organization made the somber announcement. “Mrs. Tagliaferro was a revered member of our Beachwood family. Her talent, grace, and compassionate soul reached many children and her passing leaves a void for (Art - See Page 4)
Parade For Wounded Warriors
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – A bit of rain and some crisp autumn air wasn’t about to dampen the 11th Annual Wounded Warrior parade. Each year the event salutes disabled veterans as well as veterans in general who assemble at the township’s Justice Complex in Jackson as they prepare for their ride over to the Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol Club on South Stump Tavern Road. Al Dolce, the chairman of the Wounded Warrior program at the Central Rifle and Pistol Club spoke about the day’s activities while at the club follow-
ing the parade. The wounded warriors received a free hunting knife, a barbeque lunch or one of the 150 sandwiches provided by Wegman’s, along with dessert. Dolce spoke of the need for volunteers to assist the membership of his organization in helping with projects like a veterans fishing trip held each spring. The Warriors were escorted by township police, members of the community’s volunteer fire companies, and first aid squads, motorcycle clubs as (Warriors - See Page 4)

during the program left “a lasting memory for these heroes.” Sen. Sam Thompson was present for the event this year and he said he was glad to see the event go forward. “I served in the Korean War and my family has a military tradition. It is wonderful to see what is happening here today.” “Mayor Reina put this together when he first came into office and I commend him for that. It is important that we as people show honor for those who paid the ultimate price and those who were injured while in service,” Jackson Councilman Scott Martin said. Councilman Barry Calogero commented that “a rainy day is nothing compared to what the men and women who have served have gone through. I’m here to support them in the rain and see they get the honor they deserve.” Those seeking further information about the annual parade and the Wounded Warrior program in Jackson can contact Mayor Reina’s office at 732-928-1200 ext.1211. Those interested can also e-mail Dolce at njgunfun@gmail.com.

and that staff would be available to talk to students who were having a hard time. They also asked people to post pictures on Facebook of her. Several parents did post pictures of her with their children and their children’s artwork. Other people shared their memories. A few people posting were former students. They were now teaching or in an art school.

It was warmer last year but that’s okay.” Members of the Fallen Saints and Rolling Thunder motorcycle clubs were also present for the event doing escort duties. Also present were members of the Marine Corps League including “US Marine of the year” Anthon DiSiena, a 93-year-old World War II veteran. “Weather never matters. There is no comparison to those sacrifices made by the those who served. We have between 20-25 wounded warrior veterans here today. It is great to see other veterans and police officers who served in the military come out to provide support for this. It is our way of saying thank you to them all,” Mayor Michael Reina said.

Continued From Page 1 The new park sports a splash park, fishing pier, picnic area, living shoreline, a pavilion, and of course, its amazing view. “This park, amongst all of our county parks, is one of the most near and dear to John,” said Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little in a statement. “This park is representative of all of the effort and Freeholder Bartlett’s staunch commitment to providing residents and visitors with the very best park facilities and open space. There is no more fitting way to honor our colleague and our friend.”
The Berkeley Times, October 20, 2018, Page 5 Two months ago, Bartlett announced he was not running for re-election due to health reasons. He will have served 39 years as a freeholder. During his tenure, he has been a vocal proponent of preserving natural resources, and overseen the park system grow to 27 different sites, including golf courses, dog parks, and other facilities. Freeholder Virginia E. Haines noted that Freeholder Bartlett is a man of his word. “He wanted this park to be redeveloped and he wanted it to better and stronger than it was before,” Haines said. “He made certain all of that happened and now it will stand as a testimonial to his hard work and dedication to Ocean County.”

Potential Medical Weed Dispensary Causes Backlash From Brick Residents
By Kimberly Bosco BRICK – Will a medical marijuana dispensary soon take root in Brick? It’s a possibility. The Brick Township Zoning Board of Adjustment held a special hearing for such a proposal on October 10 and scores of residents showed up to say their piece about the controversial site. The evening stretched on for more than three hours; it was a markedly contentious hearing that was delayed for further discussion until Nov. 19. No official action was taken. The board heard testimonies for the proposal of the Jersey Shore Therapeutic Health Center by 385 Adamston, LLC for Use Variance and Preliminary and Final Site Plan Approval. The facility would be located on 385 Adamston Road in the township, also known as Block 195, Lot 11.01. What exists on the property now is an old bank building, a little over 2,800 square feet, and a parking lot. The project aims to construct a dispensary and cultivation center on the property. Attorney for the project, John Paul Doyle, opened the hearing by discussing the apparent need for the site in Brick as well as
some of its parameters. “It [medical marijuana] is appropriate for society, it has unique qualities,” he said. “But to be clear, my client does not seek with this application…to have permission for the retail sale of recreational marijuana.” Citing New Jersey’s 2010 Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act (CUMMA), Doyle expressed that the need for an alternate treatment center (ATC) is present for those patients located in the Ocean/ Monmouth County area. The law allowed for the establishment of 6 ATCs in the state; 2 north, 2 central, and 2 south. With this application, Doyle stated that it would place another ATC in a location much more accessible to patients from Ocean and Monmouth counties. The existing ATCs are: • Compassionate Care Foundation, Egg Harbor Township • Greenleaf Compassion Center, Montclair • Garden State Dispensary, Woodbridge • Breakwater Alternative Treatment Center, Cranbury • Harmony Dispensary, Secaucus • Curaleaf NJ Inc., Bellmawr (Weed - See Page 22)

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Who Really Benefits From Increase In Minimum Wage? Just read another politician, the Gover nor and Craig McLoughlin thinks it is great to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. They want to give everyone a livable wage. However, they are not saying that when wages go up, so do prices. This raise in salaries is almost 100 percent. That fast food h a mbu rge r you wa nt may now cost you seven or eight dollars plus a drink and fries. Have you seen this cost of living increase in your social security, pension checks or veterans’ benefits? The second part of this is, what kind of raise that must be given to workers who make $20 an hour after years of service to balance this $15 governmental raise? Are we now going to pay them $38 dollars an hour for the same work? Realistic businesses will always pass the cost on to the consumer with smaller size or lower grade products. We have some people in entry level positions that have very few skills and no intention on improving themselves. Entry level means entering the work force for the first time and you need to improve your skills in order to get a higher wage. Entry level positions were for students to put a few dollars in their pockets while in school. Not to support yourself in life So, if this comes to
p a s s , you r e c e ive a raise, prices go up dramatically and you are in the same boat as you were before. But wait there is a bright side to this! The incomes tax goes up. Let’s say the tax is 25 percent on a dolla r. So, you are taxed 25 cents on every dollar you earn. Now at two dollars you are taxed 50 cents on your hourly wage. For example, if you ear n $315 a week after taxes you take home approximately $236.25. The government gets $78.75. Now, at $15 an hour for the same 35 - h o u r wo r k we e k you ea r n $525 af t e r taxes you take home is $393.75. The gover n ment s sha re now is $131.25. WOW the government has almost doubled thei r (you r) money. More money for their family members, political donors who they employ and their pet projects. Entry level is entry level, not career sust ai n i ng. T hat comes with the development of skills and education. Businesses will pay the price to lure better employees. Please don’t be fooled by the bleeding hearts saving they are going to get you more money. They are not; they are look ing for votes and are going to get themselves more money. Captain R.M. Silva Toms River

Letters To The Editor Trump’s Behavior Will Live In Infamy President Trump is to be given credit for a number of international, national and economic achievements. It appears that strong leadership is valued and perhaps more capable of progress than those who take a more timid approach. Hopefully, none of these accomplishments will unravel as time passes, as feared by many analysts. For now, however, there is reason to be pleased, by most if not all people. However, in addition to administrative ability there must also be respect, civility and dignity. America has weathered many wars, economic declines, international strife as well as internal disharmony but through it all those who served as presidents, regardless of political party, met the challenges with conduct that inspired rather degraded and we came through them stronger and prouder. Sadly, when history is written, President Trump will be remembered more for his conduct than achievements. At a time when bigotry is rampant, crimes in many cities are on the rise and bullying has become a crisis, our president has emboldened those who represent the worst in conduct, hate and cruelty. Perhaps the president recognized that more Americans than we would like to believe are not the kind, folksy people often depicted in the media or who we thought were
our lovely, decent neighbors. Letters To The Editorvote for Bob Hugin to unseat Trump Inspires If Trump can energize people to almost riotous laughter and applause when he degrades women, immigrants (forgetting we are all descendants of immigrants), the handicapped, a captured war hero, those who disagree with him or fail to compliment him and cannot even bring himself to denounce white supremacists in order to maintain and grow his political base, those who are decent Americans are in big trouble. Dictators who brought war, death and destruction to millions also rallied crowds by similar inflammatory rhetoric and conduct. What hope can we have for our children and grandchildren who repeatedly witness the president of the United States and American citizens, not illegals who fled persecution and hunger, behave in this despicable and frightening manner? As we sing “God Bless America” hopefully we will once again become the decent and inspirational America we once were. Those who recognize the dangers c-15onfronting us must work to halt our rapid decline into hate and indignity mindful of the great film, “It’s A Wonderful Life” where a decent man who lost hope was able to see what life would be like when people like him would be replaced by those similar to those we see and hear at Trump’s political rallies.

Economic Growth After the end of the Great Recession of 2008, President Obama led us through the worst recovery period in modern American economic history. Leading with disastrous policy such as his signature failure, the Affordable Care Act, the economy never had a chance. Even though the Federal Reserve jumped in and saved his bacon by propping up the economy with endless quantitative easing measures, and unheard of zero percent interest rates throughout his two terms, we were stuck in a quagmire of what I call the era of resignation toward lackluster growth. With the election of President Trump, things changed overnight. Something no one seems to want to talk about suddenly came on the scene. It’s called consumer confidence, and it travels through the country across all political spectrums. Obamanites want to take credit for laying the groundwork for this success but the fact is the confidence wasn’t there then and it won’t be there should we return to more failed democratic policy that can no longer be propped up. Despite what anyone may think of the president personally, it is plain to see that his initiative has inspired economic growth. Anti-Trumpers would snuff out this economic growth just to be rid of their hated foe. America cannot continue its leadership role for western civilization unless we remain economically on top. Right now Trump is staring down China in a trade war where the victor will reign supreme. This November’s midterm elections represent a referendum on the Trump agenda, and an opportunity to show the world Americans are serious about that role. This November 6, in the 3rd district, vote for Tom MacArthur. Even more importantly, in the 2nd district, vote for an ardent Trump supporter, the liberty-loving Seth Grossman. Statewide,
the corrupt Robert Menendez. Lastly vote no on the bond issue as it contains a clause that could raise your property tax bill. Every vote counts, the choice is ours: continue the consumer era of the present administration or return to the lackluster days of the resignation era. Your economic viability may come down to your individual vote. James M. Spickard Little Egg Harbor
Smith’s Healthcare Voting Record Risks Lives Healthcare is important to my family. Last year my brother received treatment through the Affordable Care Act that saved his life. Congressman Chris Smith voted against the ACA when it passed in 2010. Over the next 6 years, he voted multiple times to restrict or repeal many of the provisions, but the legislation failed. If Smith had been successful, my brother’s story might be very different. In July 2017, when the ACA was in danger of being repealed, Smith repeatedly refused to hold an open meeting to hear our concerns. We resorted to letters, phone calls, and rallies outside his office. Only after this outpouring from voters did Smith agree to vote against the repeal. How will he vote the next time? I don’t know. How will he vote on proposed changes to Medicare and Social Security? I don’t know. Smith’s track record does not inspire me with confidence. I want someone I can trust to represent my family. I want Josh Welle. Over the last few months he has held multiple open town hall meetings. He has listened to voters on many issues. He understands the importance of healthcare. On November 6, I am voting to protect my family. I am voting for Josh Welle. Rosemary Wright Ocean Grove

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Hiring Convicted Official Violates Public Trust CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove
TRENTON – Calling it a clear betrayal of the public trust, Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assembly woma n Di A n ne C. Gove questioned how
the Murphy Administration could rationalize, legally and morally, hiring a cor r uption- convicted ex-public off icial for a $70,000-a-year job with the New Jersey Department
of Education. The 9th District Delegation’s comments were in response to the controversy sur rounding the state’s hiring of former Passaic councilman Marcellus Jackson who pled guilty to bribery charges in 2007. Amid a recent fi restorm of criticism, the individual has since resigned from his state position. Con nors, Ru mpf and Gove issued the following statement:
“State law already disqualifies a convicted public official from any public office. How, then, was this individual hired, let alone deter mined to be more qualified than persons who haven’t been convicted of betraying their oath of office and the public trust? “Governor Murphy contends that the hiring was about second cha nces. What about denying a qualified person, who’s never broken the law, their chance
at an employment opportunity? Aside from the legal questions, there is also the issue of the alarming precedent that would be set for the hiring of government employees. “Poorly-conceived, politically-driven social policies, including sanctuary cities, continue to erode the rule of law to the detriment of law-abiding citizens while demonstrating how extreme government has become. Taxes appear to be
the only laws the state has any interest in enforcing with intent. “Adhering to the rule of law means protecting the people from being victimized by public corruption- not excusing it. To that end, we are proudly joining with our respected legislative colleague Assemblywoman Holly Schepisi who has introduced legislation to reinforce and clarify that convicted public officials are barred from public office.”
Two New Laws Will Help Disaster Victims Get Aid From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur WASHINGTON, D.C. Two of Congressman Tom MacArthur’s top priorities since his first day in office were signed into law by the president. These provisions protect and support victims of natural disasters like Superstorm Sandy, fix FEMA’s recoupment process, and allow natural disaster victims to have more access
to aid that help families and small businesses rebuild. The very fi rst bill Congressman MacArthur (R-3rd) introduced as a Member of Congress was the Disaster Assistance Fairness and Accountability Act of 2015. The bill protects disaster victims from recoupments by the Federal Emergency Management Agency if
disaster aid was awarded based on an accurately completed application, even if FEMA later questions the basis of the grant. After fighting to get this protection for Sandy victims for more than three years, MacArthur was able to get his provision attached to an unrelated law (the Sports Medicine Licensure Clarity Act). The measure will apply to any disaster declared by the president on or after January 1, 2012, which includes Sandy victims. “Superstorm Sandy devastated South Jersey lives, homes, and businesses. Today, many are still deal-

ing with the aftermath and impact of ineffective and unfair federal government policies. Since day one in Congress, it has been my goal to make FEMA more accountable and work better for South Jersey residents. The federal government has made it difficult for some in our community to recover from Sandy because of the actions of a few bad actors,” said Congressman MacArthur. “Without this change in the law, FEMA could continue to change their mind on grants and make disaster victims pay back previously awarded disaster assistance, sometimes years after the award. This happened to many of my constituents after Sandy and I’m grateful that
I’m in the position to stop it once and for all. I worked in the insurance industry for 30 years and in the private sector, insurers can’t just take their money back from families. The federal government should be held to this standard, too. This protection bars FEMA from recouping funds except in cases of fraud or abuse. It rights a wrong that has been in place for far too long.” A second policy championed by MacArthur will change current law that prohibits Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster loan recipients from being eligible for FEMA disaster assistance grants. This allows the president to waive the duplication of benefits during a federally
declared disaster, allowing disaster victims to have access to both loans and ot her for ms of feder al aid. Now, South Jersey residents will have greater access to federal aid for years to come. “The federal government should make it easier, not harder for those who have just gone through a natural disaster. When homes and businesses are destroyed, the last thi ng families should have to worry about is whether taking an SBA loan will disqualify them for FEMA grants that become available later on. We must ensure that Americans have access to federal assistance during times of disaster,” added Congressman MacArthur.

Local Players Lead College Football
By Chris Christopher One of the top defensive players on the Wake Forest University football team is Ja’Sir Taylor, the former Brick Township High School standout. The sophomore defensive back made three solo tackles and added two assists in a 56-24 win over Rice University in the regular season opener for both teams. In a 23-17 overtime conquest of Tulane University, Taylor made five assisted stops, one solo tackle and broke up one pass. Taylor contributed to the Demon Deacons’ 51-20 win over Towson University, making three solo tackles and breaking up one pass. Taylor made one solo tackle for three yards lost and added one assist in a 41-34 loss to Boston College. He made one solo stop in a 56-27 setback to the University of Notre Dame, then ranked eighth in the nation by the Associated Press. Another tough defender: Bryce Watts, who starred at Toms River North, led Virginia Tech in pass breakups with five through his fi rst four games of the season. The sophomore defensive back added 12 total tackles, all solos. He made six solo tackles for the Hokies, then ranked 20th by the AP, in a 24-3 win over No. 19 Florida State University in the regular season opener for both clubs. In a 49-35 loss to Old Dominion University, Watts registered six solo tackles and broke up two passes. Watts turned back three passes in a 31-14 loss to No. 22 Duke University. Fields productive: Former Monsignor Donovan (now Donovan Catholic) player Joey Fields, a junior wide receiver, caught eight passes for 96 yards and one touchdown through his fi rst four games of the season for Central Connecticut State University. One catch was good for 40 yards. Nobody gets past Nobile: Delaware Valley University freshman Mike Nobile, a defensive lineman from Brick Memorial, led the Aggies in total tackles with 39 through his fi rst five games of the season. He was second on the team in solo stops with 19, and fi rst in assists with 20. He made 15 1/2 tackles for 72 yards lost, 3 1/2 sacks for 26 yards lost and forced three fumbles. Teammate Anthony Nobile, who also played for Brick Memorial, added 20 total tackles, including 11 solos, through his fi rst five games of the season as a defensive lineman. He made six tackles for 20 yards lost, one sack for three yards lost, broke up two passes and added two quarterback hits. Another solid player for the Aggies is junior linebacker Billy Walsh, who also played for Brick Memorial. Walsh made nine solo tackles and added 11 assists through his fi rst five games of the season. He notched 4 1/2 tackles for 10 yards lost. Delaware Valley freshman defensive back Blaine Netterman, another former
Brick Memorial player, performed with the poise of a veteran through his fi rst five outings of the season, putting 16 solo tackles and three assists into the books. He made one tackle for nine yards lost, one sack for nine yards lost, forced one fumble and broke up one fumble. Dan Finelli, a junior defensive lineman from Brick Township, added two assists through three games. Junior quarterback Anthony Fontana (Brick Memorial) rushed for 33 yards on five carries through his fi rst three games of the season for the Aggies. Cathey a solid rusher: Former Brick Memorial player Matt Cathey, a senior running back, rushed for 114 yards and one touchdown on 34 carries through his first four games of the season for McDaniel College. Teammate Matt Schleifer, a junior wide receiver from Brick Township, caught five passes for 74 yards and one touchdown through his first three games of the season. He added six kickoff returns for 106 yard and two punt returns for eight yards. McDaniel sophomore linebacker Pete Laquaglia, a former Toms River North player, made one solo tackle and added one assist through his fi rst five games of 2018. A McDaniel sophomore offensive lineman is Joe Hynes, who played for Point Pleasant Boro. Short bursts: Junior defensive lineman Brandon Burdge (Toms River East) made three solo tackles and added eight assists and one quarterback hit for the Montclair State University Red Hawks through his fi rst four games of the campaign. The Red Hawks’ Jalen Glenn, a freshman running back from Manchester Township, rushed for 14 yards on six carries through his fi rst four games of the 2018 season. Former Jackson Memorial player Zack Tetro, a senior defensive back at The College of New Jersey, made three solo stops and added two assists through his fi rst three games of the season.

WHAT IS AN EYE STROKE?
“Eye strokes” (“retinal infarctions”) are usually caused by a blood clot that blocks a blood vessel that provides oxygen and nutrients to the optic nerve. Symptoms include sudden, painless vision loss in one eye, the severity of which depends on the extent and location of the occlusion(s) and loss of blood flow. An eye stroke may cause blurry vision or loss of peripheral vision, and/or may cast a gray hue over the entire field of vision. Just as strokes occur in other parts of the body and cause damage and cell death, eye strokes may lead to damage of the retina, optic nerve, and other eye structures due to blood deprivation. Symptoms of an eye stroke warrant emergency room attention. Anyone can have an eye stroke, but certain factors make it more likely. For example, you’re more likely to have an eye stroke as you get older, and it’s also more common among men than women. At our office you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622.

Neighborhood Watch Holds First Meeting
BERKELEY – On September 24, Holiday City Carefree had its 1st Neighborhood Watch meeting this year. Over 200 residents attended. Guest speakers were Mayor Carmen Amato, Berkeley Township Chief of Police Karin DiMichele, BTPD Detective Lieutenant Peter La Rocca, and Councilwoman Sophia Gingrich. Neighborhood Watch Chairperson Joseph R. Palmerson has revitalized the program with great enthusiasm and has taken a pro-active approach that has motivated the residents of HC Carefree to be involved. Informational packets, literature, and pamphlets were provided by our guests anf Palmerson along with a Power Point Presentation given by Det. Lt. La Rocca. Palmerson has many innovative ideas that he believes will make HC Carefree a safer and more secure community – a model for all other communities to follow.
Dental Problems Today... Healthy Teeth Tomorrow!
Palmerson is in the process of forming a “Neighborhood Watch Committee”; designating “Neighborhood Watch Block Captains”; and considering implementing “Citizen Patrols”. He is also having “Neighborhood Watch” signs strategically placed throughout the community and gives monthly tips in the Carefree Gazette, the association’s monthly magazine. Palmerson would like to form a coalition with the Presidents and Neighborhood Watch designees throughout the five Holiday City and four Silver Ridge communities to share information. He intends on providing articles and information to our local papers, such as, the Berkeley Times and the Community Connection for publication. These are just some of the ideas and initiatives that he is bringing to our community. Palmerson feels that next to one’s health, the safety and security of our residents is the most important priority of our residents. He encourages residents to come out to their monthly Neighborhood Watch meetings stating that, “We must be vigilant and relentless in our pursuit to make our community even safer and more secure than what it already is. We must make it hard for these predators to prey on our residents; not easy… [Residents should] make that call if they see something or someone that is suspicious.” It looks like we have a “New Sheriff” in town; someone that can make a difference.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
How To Increase The Longevity Of Your Hearing Aid
Statistically, hearing-impaired patients replace their hearing aids about every four years. Additionally, during that four-year period, your hearing aid may have to go back to the manufacturer for repair at least three to five times ... Why? The most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is wax build up in the receiver port. Those metal picks that your dispenser provides you with (for cleaning purposes) are problematic. In my opinion, you should clean your hearing aid with a soft toothbrush while holding the receiver port of your hearing aid down towards the floor (so the wax will not fall back into your hearing aid). The second most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is moisture build up, which can cause your hearing aid to work intermittently. In this case, a dry aid kit is very useful in removing moisture from your hearing instrument (particularly during the more humid summer months). A third reason for hearing aid malfunction is that most patients do not receive
routine follow-up services. In my own practice, patients return to the office at either three-month or six-month intervals for cleaning and adjustment of their instruments. Just like your car needs an oil change every 3,000 miles, your hearing aid needs to be checked at least twice a year by your hearing health-care professional. In summary, if you follow these steps, you will increase the life of your hearing aid: 1. Clean your hearing aid every day with a soft toothbrush. 2. Open the battery door at night to prolong the life of your battery. 3. Ask your hearing health-care professional for a dry aid kit to alleviate moisture build up in your hearing aid. 4. Schedule routine follow-up visits with your hearing health-care professional at least two or three times per year. 5. Routinely have your ears cleaned or checked by either your family physician or ear, nose and throat doctor.
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!

Three DIY Essential Oils To Help You Relax And Sleep By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
One of the most powerful attributes of essential oils is that they contain powerful compounds with constituents in them that promote relaxation. It’s fun to experiment with oils because they work! Doctors from around the world have used oils to relax patients prior to surgery, ease depression and anxiety, and impact GABA receptors, which calm us down. Fragrances instead of pills, it’s a novel idea, right?! In one fascinating study, researchers learned that sniffing Jasmine essential oil may be as effective as commonly prescribed barbiturates or benzodiazepines when it comes to inducing calm and sleepiness. Essential oils do not pose serious adverse health risks or side effects such as daytime drowsiness, morning hangovers or tolerance withdrawal. Also, unlike OTC sleep aids, they don’t induce anticholinergic side effects such as constipation, blurry vision and dry mouth. The easiest way to get essential oils into your blood stream within seconds is to inhale them. Pour a few drops onto the palms of your hands, rub together and inhale deeply. Do this 3 to 5 times then rub your palms onto your neck, or the bottoms of your feet. My favorite way to use essential oils at night is in a diffuser. You can add a few different oils to the diffuser and enjoy better sleep. Here are a few ideas to get you started: 1. Lavender Dreams - If there’s one, num-
ber one proven oil to relax the body and mind, ease melancholy, and enhance sleep, it’s lavender. Combine lavender essential oils with any number of other oils for great sleep. For example, you could mix it with vetiver, frankincense or calendula. My favorite is 3 drops lavender combined with 3 drops sandalwood (equal mix) plus 1 drop of bergamot, all in my little diffuser by the bed. I nicknamed it lavender dreams, lol. 2. Sleep Like a Baby Blend - Another blend for enhanced sleep and relaxation is below. Depending on the size of your diffuser, you may want to use fewer drops, but either way, keep the ratio the same: • 4 drops clary sage essential oil • 4 drops ylang-ylang essential oil • 4 drops of Roman chamomile • 2 drops wild orange (or bergamot) Clary sage, ylang-ylang, and Roman chamomile are wonder ingredients for promoting relaxation, curbing anxiety, and clary sage is especially effective for helping women balance hormones, including fat-storing cortisol, which leads to belly fat. 3. The Knock Out Blend - For when sleep seems the farthest thing from your mind, and you’ve been in front of that computer all day, with all that circadian-disrupting blue light pouring into your eyeballs, this is the blend I really recommend. Combine 3 drops each of frankincense, bergamot, and sandalwood essential oils. Instead of filling your home with synthetic perfumes that have hundreds of strange artificial chemicals, try natural essential oils.

Weed:
Continued From Page 5 According to Ann Davis, owner of the property at 385 Adamston Road and former medical marijuana patient, the nearest dispensary to Ocean and Monmouth county residents is in Woodbridge, nearly an hour drive. She attested to the difficulty of accessibility, as a former patient at the Woodbridge center who lives in Ocean County. Doyle and Davis marked the significance of establishing the dispensary in Brick, noting that Ocean County is the second largest population of medical marijuana card holders in New Jersey; and Monmouth County, the third. Ocean County holds 10 percent of the 31,000 card holders in the state, stated Davis. What many residents expressed concern over during the hearing had to do with safety, security, and accessibility of the drug to those who may not need it medically. Brick resident William Truex lives 150 feet from the proposed ATC with his two young children of 5 and 6 years. “This is a byway for young children,” he said, noting that the proximity of marijuana farming near a residential area with children is worrisome. Echoing this concern was Brick resident Diana Diaz, who lives 200 feet from the proposed site. Diaz questioned the legitimacy of the site’s location “smack dab in
the middle of a residential zone.” “It is not exclusively residential,” replied Davis. Doyle also noted that the location is zoned R1, which allows for various uses including industrial, single family, and agricultural. Lavallette resident Brick Denzel, who owns property in Brick, questioned the extent of the township’s control over use of the drug outside the bounds of the dispensary. “When I was walking in here [to the township building], I saw two individuals smoking pot outside,” he said. He asked how the township plans to regulate the use of marijuana when it seemingly happens on its own front doorstep. Davis addressed various concerns of this kind during a PowerPoint presentation that laid out an overview of what the ATC will do and how it will function. In order to become a registered patient, you must: • Have a legitimate physician registered with the Medical Marijuana Program • Be a NJ resident • Be diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition by a NJ registered MMP physician • Only designate one ATC In other words, Davis explained that patients must meet a strict set of requirements prior to using a dispensary, which they are then held to. In addition to this, security
will be tight. “I can tell you, from what I’ve learned, there will be no more secure, regulated, policed building in this township other than maybe this very building [town hall] and the police department, than this building that we propose before you,” said Doyle. Davis’ presentation stated that there will be a multi-layered security program; armed with an in-house security team, 24 hour third-party security with uniformed guards every day, 24-hour surveillance cameras, a non-climbable fence, and magna lock doors. The bank building on the property is already outfitted with a vault, cameras, and a well-lit parking lot that would serve as the patient services center for the dispensary. Since the hearing was ending for the night, the site’s security witness, David Nase, was unable to testify further security information. Despite the potential “demand” for an ATC locally, there was an outcry from a majority of the residents at the meeting against the idea. The crowd got rowdy, clapping for those at the microphone who shared their similar mindset and shouting at those others who did not. Zoning Board Chairman Harvey Langer consistently interrupted public comment and testimony to demand respect for fellow residents and the applicants. Residents Max Flores and Roberto
Flecha suggested using alternate site for the dispensary, such as the Pathmark, for fear of it being too close to children in the community. Some sat quietly in the audience, donning “I support medical marijuana in Brick” stickers on their shirts. One supporter of the proposed dispensary is Elizabeth Ivins. Ivins said she has eight herniated discs in her back and it was only when she started treating herself with medical marijuana 21 months ago that she felt alive again. “Going into a dispensary is safer than going into the Wawa…those people are your mother, my sister, with cancer, MS, they can’t move,” said Ivins about those who utilize dispensaries. She is also an educator about the topic at Patients n’ Mind with her daughter Jennifer. “We have to educate ourselves…This is not reefer madness, this is medicine,” she said. Although a lot of ground was covered, the hearing was postponed to be completed on November 19. The applicant has yet to present three more witnesses on the proposal as well as provide time for public comment. Those who wish to join the conversation can attend the next Board of Adjustment meeting on Nov. 19, 7 p.m., at the Brick Township Municipal Building.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of OCT 20 - OCT 26
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): The good old days may not have been all that great. Touching base with a long-lost friend may soon remind you why you fell out of touch. The surest way to get others to pitch in is to be enthusiastic this week. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): A watched pot never boils. Be patient and find constructive ways to keep yourself occupied rather than feverishly awaiting important results. A family problem may consume more time than necessary this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Leave well enough alone this week. It may be better to allow a situation to go unresolved rather than to force a poorly conceived solution. You may find that is easier to get cooperation later in the week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Turn the other cheek. Don’t take a loved one’s bad mood personally as the root of their troubles likely has nothing to do with you. Matters of the heart may be stuck in neutral as this week unfolds. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Make no assumptions. Unexpected events or someone changing their mind at the last second could throw your plans out of whack in the week ahead. Be sure to act like a professional when handling business matters. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t take anything for granted. Someone may not react to a situation as you expect so be sure to discuss your intentions before acting. Unnecessary suspicions may cause friction in the week ahead.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Take things seriously. Making light of a bad situation to ease tensions may rub certain people the wrong way, so proceed with caution. The coming week may provide fertile ground for finances. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t spread yourself too thin. Others may try to “guilt” you into taking on tasks that will make their lives easier but only bring you added headaches. Keep your own bases covered ahead of all else. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Good ideas are worthless if they merely stay in your head. Even if nothing comes of it, keep a written log of your thoughts for future reference. This week you may get a chance to be the leader. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Clean up the clutter. Keeping something around “for old time’s sake” may simply be using up space that would be better occupied by something else. Your judgment may be better later in the week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t overestimate your abilities. While you may think that you are being charming, someone else may find it annoying. Attempts to make a good impression may fail unless you are totally honest this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): If it hasn’t worked for you in the past, stop doing it. Making changes to your approach in the week ahead could make things easier for you in the long run. Have a little faith that things will work out for the best.

Shake Up Your Autumn Brunch By Wolfgang Puck SHAKSHOUKA WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND BELL PEPPERS Serves 6 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 medium-sized yellow onion, halved and cut crosswise into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick 1 green bell pepper, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and cut crosswise into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick 1 red bell pepper, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and cut crosswise into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 4 cups (1 L) cherry tomatoes, stemmed and cut into quarters 1 3/4 cups (435 mL) good-quality canned or bottled tomato-basil sauce Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 6 large eggs 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro or Italian parsley leaves In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer and flows freely when the pan is tilted. Carefully swirl the oil around
the pan to coat the bottom. Add the garlic and onion; saute, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until they turn fragrant, about 1 minute.. Add the bell peppers; saute, stirring continuously, until they brighten in color slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes and the cherry tomatoes; saute until they begin to give up their juices, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Stir in the tomato sauce, season lightly to taste with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook until the mixture has formed a thick but still slightly fluid sauce, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary, with a little more salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium With the back of a large serving spoon, spread the sauce evenly in the pan and then make 6 evenly spaced indentations in the sauce around the perimeter of the pan. One at a time, carefully break an egg into each indentation. Lightly sprinkle the eggs with a little salt and pepper. Cover the pan and cook until the egg whites are fully set and the yolks are done to your liking, about 10 minutes for yolks that are still slightly runny. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley. Present the dish in the pan on a heatproof trivet on the dining table, scooping portions of sauce and egg together onto individual serving plates.
