–Photo by Kimberly Bosco Students from the OCVTS Performing Arts Academy performed a dance and song to close the ceremony. By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – It was a cold, sunny afternoon, but spirits were not chilled by the persistent winds at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Ocean County Vocational Technical School Performing Arts Academy, held outside of the Jay & Linda Grunin Center on Oct. 18. “I can’t believe that it was just a year ago that we were
gathered here as a community to announce the construction of a new, state-of-the-art performance academy right here on the Ocean County College Campus, “ mused Jay Grunin, co-founder and co-chair of The Jay & Linda Grunin Foundation, and one of the ceremony’s VIP guests. “Here we are today, with construction well underway.” Bulldozers and construction
vehicles were actively working behind the scenes on the beginning stages of the new building during the afternoon ceremony. The new OCVTS Performing Arts Academy will be a 50,000-square-foot building intended to “provide a rigorous education for creatively gifted high school students, (offering) majors in theater, vocal, dance, (Arts - See Page 14)

Six Vie For Two Spots On Lacey School Board
By Kimberly Bosco LACEY – A group of impassioned residents have th row n themselves into the race for Lacey Township Board of Education this year, intending to “restore Lacey pride” or advocate for the taxpayer. Running against two i ncu mbent s, Boa rd President Robert Klaus III and board member David Silletti, are four residents that have made quite a name for themselves in recent months. New Candidates Regina Discenza said she is running on behalf of the taxpayer. A former board member herself from 20152017, Discenza claims perfect attendance at Lacey school board meetings for the past 48 months. A regular attendee at Lacey Township Committee meetings, Plan ning Board Meetings, Municipal Utility Authority meetings and Lacey School Board meetings, Discenza has proved a committedly involved resident over the past 15 years. She emphasized that being a member of the board is quite a demanding role. “Most people that do it take too much for granted,” she said. Discenza’s campaign slogan describes her as an “Experienced
STAY CONNECTED www.facebook.com/jshoreonline
Taxpayer Advocate.” One of her main goals, should she be elected, is to work against the recent state cuts to school funding. “State funding cuts must be stopped,” she said. Discenza is also big on heading straight to the source: the governor. At the Sept. 17 meeting, “I told the School Board to ask for a personal meeting with the [Governor]! Start at the top when there is a problem.” She explained that $583,000 has been cut from this year’s budget; one of many local school budgets to be severely slashed by Gov. Murphy’s aid changes. Discenza intends to go after this fervently, stating “I don’t take no for an answer easily.” While Discenza is branding herself as a “taxpayer advocate” she also emphasized that students always come first. “That is what is taught at NJSBA [New Jersey School Board Association]... Board Members must focus on students,” she added. Second after students is making sure there is a balance between expenses and raising taxes. Discenza leaves you with this message to consider on Election Day: “I will always be (Lacey - See Page 4)

Lacey:
Continued From Page 1 there for the students and YOU.” More information about Discenza and her campaign can be found at her Facebook page: facebook.com/DiscenzaforLaceySchoolBoard/. Running together are two Lacey residents that have been very vocal at recent school board meetings: Frank Horvath and Amanda Buron. These names made headlines, literally, back in March of 2018 when Jersey Shore Online reported about how residents lashed back against the school board’s decision to suspend two students over a controversial social media post. Horvath and Buron spoke out against the board’s actions at board meetings, demanding a line be drawn between school and parental discipline. One half of the pair is Frank Horvath, Lacey resident, parent, and owner of Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning. Horvath is a seasoned business owner and handyman, but he is now breaking out into the political realm for the first time. “I am a political outsider, and have never even ran for any office before,” Horvath told Jersey Shore Online. “The extent of any civic organization involvement was been limited to Rotary Membership and Chamber of Commerce membership in the past.” Although he doesn’t boast much experience in public office, he is a longtime Lacey resident with four children, all of whom came up through the Lacey school system. “I have concerns regarding what I see as a lack of independence and oversight of the school administration,” said Horvath. If elected to the board, he intends to make transparency between the school administration and the public a priority, as well as “support students and parent’s rights, and exercise fiscal responsibility.” Horvath’s running mate, Amanda Buron, is campaigning along these same principles. Buron is a Lacey resident and a Product Support Engineer for Zodiac Aerospace. Buron connects the duties of her job to those of a board member, stating: “my duties are to constantly troubleshoot and make design improvements.” Buron also claims experience in public office as a former treasurer, vice president, and president of the student chapter of the Society of Women Engineers at Trenton State College. “In support, neither my running mate Frank Horvath nor I have any connections that would cause conflict of interest or force us to abstain from voting on any matter brought to light,” she added. She was also formerly a Girl Scout leader, is a current certified volunteer for the NJ Sharing Network, and has taken part in various local fundraisers. Buron cited school funding as the biggest concern facing Lacey right now, stating that she and Horvath are “ready to take the fight to Trenton” to ensure that Lacey schools receive the required amount of state aid, as well as “vigorously oppose any new tax abatements issued to developments in the town.” A major facet of the Horvath/Buron campaign is transparency. Buron stated that she
and Horvath “would like to immediately implement a comprehensive transparency and accountability plan to bring the public into the decision making process.” The plan would make meetings more open and accessible, by either televising them or making changes to the meeting times so that more residents can take part, she said. “We will also seriously consider exploring better options for the provision of district legal services, such as an in-house counsel rather than appointed law firms in order to save the taxpayers money,” said Buron. Part of changes to legal services would also include a revision of the district’s OPRA compliance to maximize transparency with residents, Buron added. Believing that the current board is not doing enough to engage with residents, Buron and Horvath intend to change the way things are done to “make the board more responsive to their [the residents’] concerns.” For more information on Horvath and Buron’s campaign, visit their Facebook page at facebook .com/Elect-BuronHor vath-for-Lacey-Board-of-Education-1078658595630950/. The fourth non-incumbent running for a seat on the Board is Gregory Pancza. Pancza’s campaign slogan is “Safe Schools Now.” Pancza is a former candidate for Lacey Township Committee during the 2014 election. After numerous attempts, Pancza did not respond to questions. Incumbents These four individuals will be on the ballot alongside two who are currently on the school board: Robert Klaus III and David Silletti. Robert Klaus has spent the last three years on the Board of Education, most recently as president. Although he may only have three years’ experience in public office, Klaus has been a Lacey resident for over 40 years. Growing up here with his family, Klaus graduated from Lacey Township High School in 1989 and has spent time coaching various club sports such as youth baseball, tee ball, football and basketball. He is part owner of an IT company. “My role is business development as well as overall management,” he said. “I have been in the Professional Services industry since [1996].” Klaus cited safety and budget as the two main issues the board is facing. “We are hitting safety head-on by partnering close with the Lacey Police and the Township Committee. Together we were able to come to an agreement to augment our current security officers with three more Class III officers who patrol each school every day,” said Klaus. The administration has also been working on training staff and securing entrances to ensure safety on all levels, he added. In terms of budgetary needs, Klaus agrees that the district needs to advocate for more state funding. “We are working together with many other districts to appeal to the state to reinstate our full state aid,” he said. However, in the meantime, Klaus said the (Lacey - See Page 9)

DESKTOP Last week, I lost Alice, the love of my life for 35 years, following a four and a half year battle against ovarian cancer with truly inspiring grace and courage. But beyond all the things we shared together during these years, when we married, as her gift to me I became part of her wonderful and caring family, which sustains me and offers me encouragement now during this difficult time. It is during times like this that we come to realize what a blessing it is to have such people in your life, something which we can easily forget in the course of our day-to-day lives. It is this blessing that I cherish with all my heart, and something of which I will never lose sight.

Bill Would Provide Annual Compensation To Surviving Spouses Of Disabled Vets CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove
TRENTON – The Senate Militar y and Veterans’ Affairs Committee voted to approve legislation sponsored by Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Ru mpf a nd A sse mblywoman DiAnne C. Gove
which would require the $750 annual compensation to surviving spouses of certain blind or disabled veterans to be payable from the date of the veteran’s death. Members of the 9th District delegation serve on the Military and
Veterans’ Affairs Committees of both houses. Under the 9th District delegation’s legislation (S898), payments to a surviving spouse would be due from April 9, 1985, in the event the veteran’s death occurred prior to that date, or the date of the veteran’s death if the death occurred after April 9, 1985, regardless of the date of the surviving spouse’s application. Con nors, Ru mpf a nd Gove (All R-9 th) issued the following statement on the Committee’s release of
their veterans’ initiative: “Veterans’ services rem a i n a mo ng t he mo s t important issues to our constituency, a large segment of which are veterans themselves or have a veteran family member. This legislative proposal is the result of hardship cases we were informed of in which spouses didn’t become aware of the benefit until long after they became eligible. Given the extenuating circumstances, which includes their spouses’ ser vice to our
nation, these individuals should be entitled to the monetary compensation dating back to their eligibility date. “For those unfamiliar with the lifetime benefit, it is statutorily available to a veteran who was blinded or severely disabled as a result of service during any war, including specif ically World War II, Korean, or Vietnam. The need for correcting current State law becomes all the more necessary when considering that the VA’s
Bills Would Benefit Police, School Security From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur TRENTON – Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-3rd) introduced two bills and is working on another to help local schools, students, and law enforcement officials address community and school safety concerns. The bipartisan Mental Health and Public Safety Partnership Act establishes a national pilot program to place on-site social workers in qualified police departments around the country, mirroring the work being done in south Jersey. The Modern School Threat Reporting Act creates new grants for states to create a mobile application (app) that allows students and teachers to report threats to local law enforcement. This bill mirrors the state law in Florida championed by school safety advocate, Andrew Pollack, whose daughter Meadow was killed in Parkland. Mr. Pollack, founder of Americans for Children’s Lives and School Safety,
has endorsed both pieces of legislation and is collaborating with MacArthur on the third. “In many towns across the country, there is a gap between mental health and law enforcement services that needs to be filled. Fostering relationships between law enforcement officials and social workers will better serve our communities and enhance safety throughout our communities,” Congressman MacArthur said. “My home of Ocean County has already taken steps to address this need. The On P.O.I.N.T. program, which creates a partnership between Ocean Mental Health Services and the Stafford Township Police Department, has been successful in connecting local law enforcement officials with mental health professionals. Streamlining communication between these two entities will allow them to better serve communities and un-
derstand the deep-rooted causes of problems some families face at home or students face at school.” The On P.O.I.N.T. (Proactive Outreach In Needs and Treatment) program in Ocean County provides police officers and social workers in our community the opportunity to work together to better understand how to assist families dealing with mental health related issues. The program has proven results in helping those in our community with mental health issues. In response to the horrific shooting in Parkland, the state of Florida enacted a law creating a reporting app to allow people to anonymously report suspicious activity in schools and the community to law enforcement. MacArthur’s bill, The Modern School Threat Reporting Act, builds on these efforts and incentivizes states to create an app of their own, which has been an initiative championed by Andrew Pollack, whose daughter, Meadow, was lost on that tragic day in Parkland. The legislation requires that applications for the grant must include a plan to deter misuse of the app, including ways to
prevent students from using it to bully others. “After the tragedy in Florida, students and those in the greater Parkland community came forward about previous signs of mental instability and the intentions of the perpetrator. Creating an avenue to anonymously report threats to local law enforcement will promote community safety and may prevent another one of these horrific events from occurring,” said Congressman MacArthur. “These innovative and modern tools will help states with their specific needs and bolster ongoing efforts to secure schools and create an effective relationship between schools and law enforcement agencies.” “After my daughter was taken from me, I made it my mission to bring people together to do more to protect our schools. I stood at The White House, in front of the world, imploring our elected leaders to work to-
gether to fix it. There have been some steps taken to make our children safer, but we need to do more. I believe that Congressman Tom MacArthur’s legislation at the federal level will help,” said Andrew Pollack, founder of Americans for Children’s Lives and School Safety. “Accountability matters, which is why the Clery Act needs to be expanded to include secondary schools receiving federal funds. Here in Florida, our leaders took action and created a suspicious activity reporting app, which is now available to students across the state. Tom’s effort to encourage every state in the nation to create apps similar to Fortify Florida is something I have been pushing for and hope to see it pass immediately. We need to think outside the box and look to successful efforts at the local level, which is exactly what the Mental Health and
Office of Blind Rehabilitation Services estimates there are approximately 130,000 veterans in the United States who are legally blind, and more than a million veterans who have low vision that causes a loss of ability to perform necessary daily activities.” Assemblyman Rumpf and Assemblywoman Gove are sponsors of the companion version, A-697, which was referred to the Assembly Militar y and Veterans’ Affairs Committee upon reintroduction.
Public Safety Partnership Act does. By having social workers embedded in police departments, the gap between law enforcement and mental health professionals can be closed, allowing cops to be cops and social workers to address any mental health concerns that are identified.” MacArthur is also working closely with Andrew on new legislation that will expand the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, also known as the Clery Act, to high schools receiving federal funds. The Clery Act is a federal law that requires colleges and universities to maintain records of criminal activity on and around their campuses and make that information available to the community. It was named for Jeanne Clery, a 19-year-old Lehigh University student who was raped and murdered in her dorm in 1986.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER A Plea To Voters Across The Aisle An earlier career with its frequent task of reconciliation between opponents, or a married couple in crisis, taught me the crucial need for empathy in all human relationships. I admit I’ve not always been totally consistent in providing this gift of empathy, but I do try quite diligently. Allow me to give empathy for others some breathing room and a small voice. Although a registered democrat, I’ve occasionally crossed the aisle by voting for a republican, when I considered him or her the better candidate. In that earlier long-past career, I had fervently believed the vast majority of human beings are people of good will who generally act in good faith. I’d like to believe that again, particularly with regard to my fellow Americans. True, these presumptions of good faith and of good will are very difficult to perceive in these times. The political zeitgeist feels more like the Civil War-continued! Nonetheless, citizens of good will and of good faith should come to the realization that the current President is leading the nation into the darkness of autocratic r ule. The Republican majorities in Congress have closed ran ks to
protect, praise and put tot al power i nto t he hands of this one man, who displays ment al aberrations in making compulsive decisions generally aligned with the enhancement of his ego, and not for the good of the hu man beings whom he ought to be leading towards a more perfect union. If you clear away the smoke and mirrors of polit ical propagand a machines, my sisters a nd brot her s, you’re likely to acknowledge the absolute necessity of checks and balances in national government. Congress is supposed to be a branch of government equal to the Executive and to the Judicial, not a subsidiary of the Oval Office. I’m asking voting citizens who happen to be registered Republicans to abandon automatic support for their party this time, and to vote for the good of the nation a nd for t he com mon good. Because, lacking check s a nd bala nces within Congress and between our three branches of government, we’re inadvertently clearing the road to autocratic rule and the revocation of our Constitution. Histor y at tests it’s happened before! Nicholas Molinari Brick

I Found An Answer In Stafford Township My heart and my head both ache from the divisiveness and ugliness I am seeing around me. What happened to working together for the greater good? Well, I am glad to report that I found a small glimmer of hope right here in Stafford Township. Joe Mangino is running for mayor. According to Joe, this election is not about Democrat or Republican. It’s about doing what’s right for St afford Tow nship. Building community and getting residents involved is a top priority. A few other priorities include stabilizing our property taxes, cleaning up abandoned properties in town and preparing for extreme weather. I already see Joe everywhere in town supporting Stafford events. As mayor, he plans to be visible and available to all residents, so he can learn about our ideas and concerns. Joe and his team have my vote and I invite you to learn more about him and the “Focus On Stafford” team by going to their webpage and Facebook page before going to the polls. And… VOTE.

Anti-Kavanaugh Protesters As someone who has attended the March for Life in Washington for many years, I am shocked at the protests that took place at the Judge Brett Kavanaugh vote. Every year in January thousands upon thousands of people from as far away as Washington State march peacefully from the Washington Monument to the Supreme Court in support of unborn babies. At the March for Life, I’ve never seen the kind of aggression that was exhibited (at the Kavanaugh vote). People who believe in the sanctity of life from conception to natural death have been frustrated in our efforts to protect the lives of the innocent babies who are murdered in the womb since 1973, but we would never behave like the unhinged lunatics I heard disrupt the vote. The left will apparently stop at nothing to throw tantrums and cause disruptions when they don’t get their way. I question the mental stability of these folks and fear that this behavior will become the norm for people who don’t agree with decisions they don’t like. Free speech only applies to them all others should have no voice. The rule of law and innocent until proven guilty only applies to them. It is a shame what has happened in this country, and I fear we’re on the brink of anarchy. Marion Gillespie Brick
Smith Silent On Human Rights Violations When my mother came here from Co. Kerry just before the start of the Great Depres-
she was really 16. Her brother jumped ship and slipped across the border from Canada into New York where he married a Native American woman. Both my mother and her brother became citizens but they would be deported if they tried this in today’s United States of America. They came to escape political oppression and to build a better life. Just one generation later, their descendants hold advanced degrees in physics, and are doctors, college professors, air line pilots, teachers, artists and even a Hollywood movie star. However, our family’s story is not unique, (except maybe for the Hollywood movie star). As a first generation American and a bilingual clinical social worker, I am writing to raise my voice for so many current New Jersey residents who I know and who have come here to work, just like my mother and her brother. They are not criminals and they are not gang members; rather, they are hard-working heads of families who deserve equal protection under the Constitution, the law of our land. MY current congressman has been silent about the 58,010 non-criminal immigrants who have been detained by the president in his first fourteen months in office. Moreover, even though my Congressman sits on the Committee for Global Human Rights, he has said nothing about the 13,000 children who have been separated from their families and are still being held in detention centers. We need an involved representative, someone to take the reins that remain slack in the hands of the current legislators who have failed to provide these residents with a path to citizenship. That I why I will make my voice heard on November 6th and vote for Josh Welle who will be a voice for those hitherto voiceless residents of our great State of New Jersey.

Silletti is now coming up on the end of his term on the board, which has been his first experience in public office. Aside from this, Silletti is a member of the Lacey Republican Club and coach for the Lacey Township Basketball Association. “I am currently employed by the Township of Belleville as a captain in the Fire Department. I just started my 20th year and I love my job,” Silletti told Jersey Shore Online. “Before I joined the fi re service I was a small business owner.” With a growing involvement in the Lacey community, Silletti cites state funding and safety as priorities for the district, and even the county, as well.
Candidates:

“The fact that the NJ State government decreased our state aid by nearly $600,000 in 2018-2019 and will cut even more over the next few years is a major detriment to all the districts receiving cuts, especially after budgets were prepared with the previous state aid numbers,” he said. Silletti echoed Klaus’ statements about school safety, mentioning that the district has been working on increasing safety and security measures. In addition, he stated that maintaining drug and alcohol awareness and education as a focal point for students was key. “These concerns, along with raising test scores, college and career preparedness and providing a quality education for all of our students is something that I believe is of the utmost importance,” said Silletti. This year’s election is a highly contested one as these six candidates vie for two spots on the Board of Education. Each of the two elected officials will serve a 3-year term.

IRIS FRECKLES
Small dark spots resembling freckles that appear in the iris of the eye are called “iris ephelis.” They occur in approximately 60 percent of individuals and are caused by increased amounts of the pigment “melanin,” which is produced by cells called “melanocytes.” Iris ephelis neither affect vision nor develop into malignant melanoma. Their development, however, is linked to factors that include a lifetime number of sunburns, history of eye sunburns that cause blisters, sun-damaged skin, increasing age, and light-colored eyes. The spots have been found to be more common in the lower part of the iris that is farthest from the nose because that area is afforded less protection from the sun by shade cast from the nose or eyebrows. Your literal view of the world can change as you get older, especially if you develop one of the eye diseases associated with aging. That’s why the American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends a baseline eye exam in middle age and exams with increasing frequency as you get older. To schedule an eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. (732-349-5622). Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

P.S. “Iris nevi,” dark spots on the iris that are larger than iris freckles and grow larger with time, infiltrate the “stroma” (a layer of the iris) and are due to an increase in the number of melanocytes.

Arts:
Continued From Page 1 and audio engineering,” according to their press release. The construction of the building is already underway, and is expected to be completed by December 2019. Dr. Jon Larson, OCC President, kicked off the ceremony by stating that arts education “aids students in developing skills needed in the workplace,” such as flexibility, development, and communication. Something special about this innovative new building: it will provide students with credits for college. In collaboration with OCC, OCVTS’s early college program will allow high school students to graduate with a high school diploma and an associate’s degree from OCC at the same time. Students will be exiting high school already halfway to a bachelor’s degree, all for a fraction of the tuition cost of a university degree. “This is a good deal for everybody,” said Larson to rousing applause from the crowd and present performing arts students. The PAA is a four-year public high school, currently located at the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. When the announcement of the new academy was made last year, it came as welcome news. The current location is distant and difficult to get to and from. This new facility would put students right on OCC’s
campus; it is being built in a section of Parking Lot 2, just in front of the Jay & Linda Grunin Center. Not only will performing arts students get the advantage of a new, centrally located building, but OCC students as well, according to Larson. The facility will also be used for classes at night. Ocean County Freeholder Joseph Vicari, also liaison to OCC, spoke of the potential for opportunity with the new building during the ceremony. “The young ladies and gentleman that are here today have tremendous opportunities that didn’t exist [before],” he said. Although the PAA started out as a small group of students, it has grown to approximately 203 students today. OCVTS officials expect this number to grow greatly once the new academy is complete. “In my 37 years as a county freeholder, this is one day that I will always remember because we’re making the future,” Vicari added. The Performing Arts Academy is a federally recognized Blue Ribbon school, according to OCVTS superintendent William Hoey; and relocating the students to a state-of-the-art building will give it even more potential. Although the idea has been floating around for some time to build the new facility, it fi nally came to fruition when The Jay & Linda Grunin Foundation made a multi-million dollar donation to the cause,
–Photo by Kimberly Bosco Construction is underway on the new OCVTS Performing Arts Academy. said Hoey. The project will be funded by the state for $10.6 million, Ocean County and the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation will each contribute $8 million, and OCC will provide $2 million. “PAA students will have access to the college gym, library, several classrooms, the student center, and most importantly, the theaters,” said Hoey, noting that OCC students will also have access to the new facility for night classes, “making it an excellent use of taxpayer dollars.”
Not only will PAA students be studying in a state-of-the-art facility, but they will also receive a great education that will encourage them to develop their own unique needs of expression, “capturing the passions and emotions, and allowing them to explore new ideas, subject matter, and cultures,” said Grunin. Grunin stated that the PAA project aligns with the “three pillars” of the Grunin Foundation: arts, education, and healthcare.

Hearing Health Snap Shot
Did you know that your hearing health has a direct effect on your overall health? Some causes can be natural and others would surprise you. It is important to take an empowered, proactive approach to hearing health during every stage of your life. I would sincerely suggest that you read this column several times and share this information with your friends and family. Risk Factors Hearing loss is about twice as common in people with diabetes compared to those without the disease. Adults with pre-diabetes, whose blood glucose is higher than normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis, have a 30 percent higher rate of hearing loss compared to those with normal blood sugar. Current smokers are 1.69 times more likely, or have a 70 percent higher risk to have hearing loss than nonsmokers. Studies have shown that a healthy cardiovascular system has a positive effect on hearing. Conversely, inadequate blood flow and trauma to the blood vessels of the inner ear can contribute to hearing loss. Hearing Loss In America 1. One in three people over the age of 60 have hearing loss. 2. One in six Baby Boomers (49-68) have hearing loss. 3. One in 14 Generation Xers (37-48) already have hearing loss. 4. One in five teenagers have some type of hearing loss. 5. Hearing aids can reduce the effects of hearing loss by 50 percent
Effects of Hearing Loss on a Patient’s Life Memory and Hearing Loss: Adults with hearing loss are more likely to develop problems thinking and remembering than adults with normal hearing. Degraded hearing may force the brain to devote too much of its energy to processing sound. Adults with hearing loss develop a significant impairment in their cognitive abilities 3.2 years sooner than those with normal hearing. Those with hearing loss experience a 30-40 percent greater decline in thinking abilities compared to their counterparts without hearing loss. Dementia and Hearing Loss: Seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. Adults with moderate hearing loss are 3 times more likely to develop dementia and those with severe hearing loss are 5 times more likely to develop dementia. Mental Health and Hearing Loss: Hearing loss results in social isolation. Adults with untreated hearing loss tend to withdraw from engaging with family and friends. Adults, 50 and older, with untreated hearing loss are more likely to report depression, anxiety, anger and frustration, emotional instability and paranoia, and are less likely to participate in social activities than those who wear hearing aids. The degree of depression and other emotional or mental health issues also increases with the severity of the hearing loss.
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!

6 Surprising Benefits Of Dandelion Weeds
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Dandelion greens might be considered a weed, but this potent plant contains an impressive arsenal of nutritious compounds that you may want to your diet. I’m referring to dandelions as in Taraxacum officinale. This notoriously bitter weed is packed with protein, minerals, and more vitamin C than spinach. The entire plant is actually edible, though I’ve never eaten the whole thing, just the leaves. Some people literally harvest the yellow flowers before they open and fry them up in a pan with garlic, butter and other seasonings. Dandelion is very easy to harvest, remember it’s kind of like a weed, it grows everywhere! And interestingly, this inexpensive plant is also sold at health food stores, especially in the produce section where it’s usually near the collard greens and kale. Here are 7 reasons to take dandelion: Aids the digestive system: The plant is a mild diuretic, making you urinate more than normal. It can improve the functioning of the pancreas, stomach, kidneys, and spleen without depleting your body’s potassium stores. Diuretics are known to reduce blood pressure. With dandelions, the two compounds that work in this capacity are chicoric and chlorogenic acid. Good source of antioxidants: You can thank the dandelion’s bitter taste for its antioxidant properties which clean your blood. If you can get used to more bitter foods (and less sugary ones), then your detox pathways that operate in your liver will thank you with better health. Can Aid Weight Loss: Though the facts are still forthcoming, there is evidence today
that consuming dandelions can support weight loss by improving your fat-burning rate and metabolism, and simultaneously reducing fat absorption. It’s due to the presence of chlorogenic acid- a compound also found in coffee. Helps Fight Inflammation: Could eating flowers help you with arthritis? Probably not, but its fun to think that way. I like herbal remedies that reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNF alpha. Dandelion does this very thing, helping you reduce risk for heart attack, cancer and diabetes. Can help control blood sugar: Two biologically active phytochemicals in dandelions (specifically, the chicoric and chlorogenic acid) show evidence of controlling blood sugar by regulating your pancreas’s insulin production. Useful as a skin treatment: Applying a leaf and flower extract immediately before or after intense sun exposure seems to reduce overall skin damage. Dandelion-containing creams or poultices reduce skin irritation and may help with acne. Fresh dandelion greens can be used in fresh salads, sandwiches, smoothies, and teas. If they’re too bitter, make a fifty-fifty mix of dandelions with a subtler green like spinach or Swiss chard. You could make a tea, or buy a commercially prepared teabag. You could also sauté the dandelion greens with some sweet fruits like pineapple. While dandelions are considered a safe plant for most people, there are a few reported incidences of adverse reactions. People with ragweed allergies are sensitive to dandelions, so please avoid if that’s the case.

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – While a 2.8 percent increase in Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for Ocean County seniors relying on Social Security is a positive step, it is not enough, according to Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari. Out of the almost 173,000 seniors living in Ocean County, there were 126,255 seniors aged 65 and older in Ocean County receiving Social Security as of December 2017. Studies show that the average Social Security benefit provides an elderly person living alone in Ocean County only 54 to 76 percent of the amount needed to cover basic expenses. According to Vicari, a higher COLA would better serve the vast senior population in the county. “While this Cost of Living Adjustment is better than past years when there had been no increase, our seniors would be better served by a higher COLA,” said Vicari, who is Chairman of Senior Services in Ocean County. “With one of the highest percentages of seniors in the country, it is my priority to make sure Social Security is maintained and preserved. It’s also important our seniors receive an ample benefit from a program most have paid into all of their working days.” Ocean County seniors can also receive as-
sistance from the county’s Office of Senior Services. For example, the senior nutrition program provides 1,100 meals a day to seniors including the home delivered meal program, said Vicari. “Ocean County continues to appropriate funds for senior services that help keep our seniors independent,” he added. “The Board of Freeholders made sure there is no waiting list for this very important program. It’s imperative that all levels of government assist in providing our aging populations with programs and services that will make their lives better and keep them out of nursing homes and hospitals.” More than 67 million Americans will see a 2.8 percent increase in 2019, according to Social Security, Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. The Social Security Act ties the annual COLA to the increase in the Consumer Price Index as determined by the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. “Social Security plays a key financial role in the lives of our seniors…Yet statistics show our seniors are hardly, if at all, getting by on it should it be their main income source,” Vicari said. For information on Ocean County senior programs and services, contact the Ocean County Office of Senior Services at 732929-2091.

By Michael J. Deem, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates Fly for Fun under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft! You don’t need permission from the FAA to fly your UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, but you must always fly safely. You may elect to register your UAS to help in the recovery of lost equipment, but this is not required. The FAA has adopted the following UAS Safety Guidelines: •Fly at or below 400 feet •Be aware of airspace requirements and restrictions •Stay away from surrounding obstacles •Keep your UAS within sight •Never fly near other aircraft, especially near airports •Never fly over groups of people •Never fly over stadiums or sports events •Never fly near emergency response efforts such as fires •Never fly under the influence of drugs or alcohol Flying under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft. The Special Rule for Model Aircraft (P.L. 112-95, Section 336) provides the definition and operating rules for flying a model aircraft. Model aircraft operators that comply with all of these operational requirements during flight do not have to register their UAS with the FAA. Model aircraft operators must follow these rules to fly under this Rule: •the aircraft is flown strictly for hobby or recreational use (once you start earning money from the use of the drone you have removed yourself from this exception); •the aircraft is operated in accordance with a community-based set of safety guidelines and within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization; •the aircraft is limited to not more than 55 pounds unless otherwise certified through a design, construction, inspection, flight test, and operational safety program administered by a community-based orga-
nization; Michael J. Deem •the aircraft is operated in a manner that does not interfere with and gives way to any manned aircraft; and •when flown within 5 miles of an airport, the operator of the aircraft provides the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower (when an air traffic facility is located at the airport) with prior notice of the operation (model aircraft operators flying from a permanent location within 5 miles of an airport should establish a mutually-agreed upon operating procedure with the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower [when an air traffic facility is located at the airport]) A model aircraft is defined as an unmanned aircraft that is capable of sustained flight in the atmosphere, flown within visual line of sight of the person operating the aircraft and flown for hobby or recreational purposes. UAS Registration. If you do not operate exclusively under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, you must: • Register your UAS if it weighs more than 0.55 pounds and less than 55 pounds • Label your UAS (PDF) with your registration number and • Read and understand all safety guidelines Registration costs $5 and is valid for 3 years. If you are flying under the Special • Rule for Model Aircraft and you wish to register voluntarily, you should register as a “modeler.” If you are flying under part 107, Section 333, part 91, a public COA, or for non-recreational purposes in general, you should register as a “non-modeler.” In order to register, you must be: • 13 years of age or older (if the owner is less than 13 years of age, a person 13 years of age or older must register the small unmanned aircraft) • A U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.

Southern Middle School Trip To D.C.
MANAHAWKIN – Southern Regional Middle School 8th graders visited Washington, D.C. October 4-5, 2018. Over the course of the two days, students made stops at the Smithsonian American History, Natural History, and Air and Space Museums; in addition, they visited the National Gallery of Art. As an extension of their current studies, students also toured the Holocaust Museum. In the afternoon, the groups took pictures at the White House and visited a number of our country’s most famous monuments, including the Lincoln, Vietnam, Korean,
and Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorials. After a busy day of touring, the students checked in to their hotel and finished off the night with a buffet dinner and dance. The next day started with a visit to Arlington National Cemetery where the students observed the changing of the guard and participated in a wreath laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Afterwards, the group of almost 400 met at the Grant Memorial to have a group picture taken in front of the Capitol building. The trip was an unforgettable experience for all.

11th Annual Fall Furfest MANAHAWKIN – Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health, announced that excitement is brewing for the upcoming 11th Annual Fall Furfest to be held on October 27, at the Southern Ocean County Animal Facility from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Freeholder Director Little offers that “the Annual Furfest is an excellent opportunity for Ocean County residents to come out and enjoy a fun afternoon while also experiencing all our animal facility has to offer.” The Ocean County Health Department operates two animal facilities, the Northern Ocean County Animal Facility in Jackson at 615 Freemont Avenue and the Southern Ocean County Animal Facility in Manahawkin at 360 Haywood Road. According to Ocean County Public Health Coordinator Daniel E. Regenye, there were 1,379 adoptions of cats and dogs last year and nearly 1,026 this year to date.
“Pets which are found as strays, or which are surrendered to our shelters, are anxious and deserving to fi nd new forever homes…Events such as Furfest highlight not just the animals up for adoption but the tremendous work our shelter employees and volunteer organizations do in effort to fi nd homes for these wonderful pets,” stated Regenye. This year’s event will include many fun activities and surprises, capped off with an astounding parade of pets wearing their finest costumes which will be judged prior to the award of prizes. There will be a variety of categories, such as scariest, cutest, funniest, most original and best in show. In addition, there will also be giveaways, baskets and much more. All residents are encouraged to either participate or join as spectators for an event unlike any other. The parade begins at 1:30 p.m. We hope you can join us!

Balance and Physical Therapy
B
By: Jennifer Vadas, DPT, Jackson Facility Manager
alance plays a key role in the vast majority of typical activities we perform throughout our day. Whether it is reaching for a dish, standing while talking to a neighbor, or swinging a golf club; the importance of maintaining the highest functional level of balance cannot be understated. Balance tends to decline as we age; which puts older adults at an increased risk for falls, and subsequent injury. However, difficulties with varying levels of balance can affect people at all ages. Impairments in balance can often be a secondary effect of many other conditions, including stroke, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and neuropathy; just to name a few. There are multiple systems of the body that impact balance; they include the visual, somatosensory, vestibular, and musculoskeletal systems. The visual system plays a role in balance by allowing you to see any obstacles in your path, and react accordingly. The brain also receives visual signals to help perceive how the body is oriented in regards to its surroundings. The somatosensory system includes tactile sensation (touch), and proprioception (positional awareness). Tactile sensation in our feet allows us to feel them on the ground below us. This allows us to be aware of any changes in the surface we are walking on. Our proprioceptive system allows us to understand the position of our joints, this is particularly important in our ankles in order to be aware of any postural sway and react accordingly to correct balance. The vestibular system is located in the inner ear; it functions in balance by detecting movements of the head. This allows for clear vision with motion, and maintaining upright positioning. The musculoskeletal system involves our muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments. It is important to maintain good flexibility and strength in our muscles; as they help to stabilize in balance tasks. If muscles are overly tight, they will be unable
to allow for motion required to move correctly, or to compensate if you are losing your balance. Maintaining good muscular strength is important throughout the body. Our postural muscles (i.e. those in the shoulder, back, and abdominals) help to sustain optimal positioning for good balance. Lower extremity strength, from the hips down to the ankles, is important to preserve stability in both static (standing still) and dynamic (moving) tasks. Should one of these systems become compromised, it is important that the remaining function at the highest possible level to overcome that deficit. Physical therapy can be utilized to rehabilitate areas that have been weakened or injured and to increase the functional level of the others. For example, in a patient with visual impairments, physical therapy can be utilized to improve the function of the vestibular system; as well as increase muscular strength and flexibility. Physical therapy allows you to challenge your balance and perform activities that are difficult, while in a safe setting with professionals who can properly cue you for methods to better perform these activities. Your therapist will perform a comprehensive examination to determine where your particular deficits lie, and will then establish a program focusing on your individual needs. Programs tend to encompass all areas that impact balance; including stretching muscles that are overly tight, strengthening those that are weak, using varied surfaces/directions of movement, performing tasks with eyes closed, and decreasing base of support. There is also a focus on incorporating functional tasks into therapy treatments. A common complaint we hear from people who are coming to therapy for balance is they find they have increased difficulty maintaining their balance while walking in crowds, or in grocery stores when trying to look for objects. Therapy will mimic these scenarios by providing patient
with perturbations (similar to being jostled in a crowd), and teaching appropriate reaction strategies. Another common exercise is having a patient walk while both nodding and turning their heads, similar to what we do in a grocery store to look for the box of cereal we want while still moving down the aisle. These are just a few examples of the many activities a patient may perform in therapy as part of a balance training program. It is extremely important to feel safe and confident with functional mobility to uphold a high quality of life. Having feelings of limitations in balance will decrease the possibility of this. Fortunately, there are treatment options available to improve balance and mobility, to uphold your personal lifestyle goals. JENNIFER VADAS, DPT Jennifer graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Rider University in 2006. She continued at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ in Stratford; where she received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2009. Since graduating in 2009, Jen’s primary professional focus has been in the outpatient setting; though she also has experience in acute care and subacute rehabilitation. Jen’s areas of interest include geriatrics, non-operative and post-surgical rehab, and balance impairments. She has taken continuing education courses in vestibular rehabilitation. Jen strives to provide each patient with individualized care, focusing on their primary concerns and goals.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of OCT 27 - NOV 2
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let distractions develop into a debate. Focus your attention on your own important projects in the week ahead despite interruptions and attention-seeking companions. Enjoy being a team leader, not just a player. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be as flexible as a pretzel but use a light hand with the salt. An idea that seems worthwhile may seem impractical by the end of the week. Take time to re-evaluate your situation and adapt long-term objectives as necessary. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can never stand in the same river twice. The more you try to stop progress the more likely it will rush past you this week. Focus your efforts on reaching tangible, realistic goals rather than floating away on flights of fancy. CANCER (June 21-July 22):Apositive attitude uplifts relationships. While romantic moments may not be perfect, you’ll be in far too good of a mood in the week to come to notice the imperfections. Write down impressive ideas, lest they be lost forever. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Test the waters one toe at a time. Experiment only if it is expedient. Find common ground with others as you share new and exciting experiences in the week ahead. Take good advice to heart as it may provide the answers you need. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are in your comfort zone when you think outside the box and approach problems from an unorthodox perspective. There’s no obstacle you can’t conquer if you simply think the problem though or share your ideas with others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A rolling stone gathers no moss. Keep the moss away by pursuing unique and creative activities this week. You may be able to turn an imaginative idea into a profitable enterprise if you can avoid being waylaid by interruptions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Putting out minimum effort will yield huge rewards. Take advantage of any inside information you hear about by acting on it right away. You can get ahead this week by simply keeping your eyes and ears open for valuable information. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take advantage of times when life is good, and people are kind. Family members appreciate your wisdom and may come to you for advice this week. Your insights may encourage others to take the most appropriate steps. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Make sure everyone gets their fair share in the week to come. Remain equitable when dividing the spoils and you’ll keep everyone happy. A new study or interest can prompt you to change your long-term goals. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The week ahead may offer you many opportunities to mend fences and engage in heartfelt apologies. Rethink how you’re dealing with personal or financial situation as that could offer a clue as how to set things right. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The more the merrier is your motto. A close friend or loved one may require your support to see their plans through. Offer your services to the well-deserving in the week ahead and tag along for the ride whenever possible.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Keep Summer Memories Alive With An Ice Cream Version Of An Old Soda Shop Favorite By Wolfgang Puck
You’ve probably noticed that gourmet ice cream is more popular than ever. Small artisanal shops are springing up everywhere, serving frozen confections made in small batches with amazing combinations of flavors using the best quality ingredients. I love to see such creativity. It’s a reminder that there are always new things to explore in the world of good food, creative young minds eager to show what they can do, and food lovers who want to try everything. In fact, I’m amazed to see people lining up in front of these shops, even down the block and in ever-chillier autumn weather, waiting to try the latest flavors. My restaurant pastry chefs have always tried to come up with their own exciting flavors, and I’m happy to taste them. Some of my favorites are interesting new takes on the classics, like white chocolate malted milk ice cream. What I especially like about this recipe is how it translates an old soda fountain favorite, the malted milkshake, into something new and interesting. So why not translate the flavors of a malt you’d drink with a straw into an ice cream, as today’s enterprising small-batch shop owners might do? My recipe adds the twist of starting with white chocolate instead of dark or milk chocolate, so there’s no other distinctive flavor to compete with the wonderful malty taste. As you probably know, white chocolate results from removing the cocoa solids from dark chocolate, then blending the resulting ivory-colored cocoa butter with milk solids, sugar, milk fat and the emulsifier called lecithin, a substance found in egg yolks, soybeans and other foods. You can find it in the baking section of well-stocked supermarkets, as well as in specialty stores; make sure to select a high-quality product with a higher percentage of cocoa butter than the 20 percent minimum required by the FDA. I especially like European imports from chocolatiers like Callebaut or Valrhona. As for the malted milk powder, it’s right there in the supermarket baking section or with the cocoa powders. Then, all you need is any reliable home ice cream maker. Yes, some fancy models are expensive; but you can also now find good electric models in kitchen shops and online selling for well less than $100. If you love ice cream like I do, it’s worth the very small investment.
You’ll enjoy the satisfying, old-fashioned flavor of this ice cream just on its own. But it also makes a perfect canvas for getting more creative. Use it as a backdrop for fresh berries or other fruit. Add toasted nuts or sprinkles. Or get extra indulgent, and contrast the ivory-colored ice cream with a drizzle of your favorite homemade or bottled hot fudge. WHITE CHOCOLATE MALTED MILK ICE CREAM Makes about 1 1/2 quarts (1.5 L) 2 cups (500 mL) whole milk 2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream 8 large egg yolks 10 ounces (300 g) good-quality white chocolate, broken or cut into small chunks 1/2 cup (125 mL) malted milk powder Combine the milk and cream in a large, heavy saucepan. Place the pan over medium-high heat and, as soon as the liquid comes to a boil, remove the pan from the heat. Put the egg yolks in a large stainless-steel mixing bowl and stir them briskly with a wire whisk until smooth. While whisking the yolks continuously and briskly, slowly and carefully pour in the hot milk-cream mixture. Once all the milk and cream have been incorporated, return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally and making sure that the whisk makes contact with the bottom and sides of the pan, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Put the white chocolate in a microwave-proof bowl. Cover the bowl with a paper towel, put it in the microwave, and cook for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl, and stir the mixture. Repeat the process one to three times more, just until the chocolate is smoothly melted. Whisk the melted chocolate into the hot ice cream mixture. Pour 1 cup (250 mL) of the liquid into a heatproof measuring cup, sprinkle in the malted milk powder, and stir until it is completely dissolved. Return the malted mixture to the saucepan, and stir well. Pour the mixture through a fine-meshed strainer into a large heatproof mixing bowl. Set the bowl inside a larger bowl containing ice and water and chill it, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is completely cooled. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream machine, and freeze it following the manufacturer’s directions.
