Freeholders Reconvene For 2019, Remember Freeholder Bartlett

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – If you weren’t there before 3 p.m., you weren’t getting a seat. The meeting room in the Ocean County administration building was beyond packed for the county freeholder’s reorganization Jan. 2, and recognized by most as a bittersweet time. While the guests—which included senior Congressman Chris Smith and former Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, among others—celebrated the reelection of Gerry P. Little, welcomed newcomer Gary Quinn, and erupted in applause as Virginia Haines was named ﬁ rst woman freeholder director in 40 years, a somberness settled in when remembering that for

Mayor, Council Set Plans For New Year

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – A woman will take the helm of council for the first time ever in the township. Councilwoman Joan Brush was chosen to lead the f ive-member council for 2019. Long-time Councilman Samuel Fusaro will serve as her vice president. “I appreciate the help I get, the wonderf ul staff, and the depar tment heads. Ever yone is always offering their help,” Br ush said. “It’s nice to be around good people. I enjoy it and I want to thank everyone for the opportunity to be here.” Craig Wallis, James Vaccaro and Charles Frattini Sr. round out the 2019 council. (Council - See Page 5)

Toms River Officials Look To Replace Kmart By Jason Allentoff and Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – First it was Sears. Then it was Toys R’ Us. Now Kmart has announced they are closing its Toms River location. The Route 37 store, which has been in business for decades, is one of 80 locations that Sears Holdings needs to close as they deal with their ongoing bankruptcy proceedings. Since the announcement was done during the holid ay season, Toms River officials are starting the new

year looking for a replacement tenant for the property. It’s no secret that internet sales have seriously impacted brick and mortar retail shopping, business administrator Don Guardian said. Therefore, any business that replaces it will have to be something that you can’t get online. This is why gyms, yoga studios, ofﬁces and medical uses are more likely to move into empty properties. Years ago, when one large retail chain moved out, another would move (Kmart - See Page 5)

Everything’s great, and we’re going to have a great year. I always like to use sports metaphors when we’re talking, and John was not a sports fan. If I said something about football, he said, ‘Is that where you hit a home run?’ Now John knew the truth but he always liked to joke with me about sports,” Little said. “And so, we were all ready to go last year at this time. And then, our pastors and monsignor and rabbi…our “Head Coach,” if you will, had different plans for John, and our season didn’t go quite the way we would have liked it.

Freeholder John Kelly, who was chosen to be deputy freeholder director for 2019, will be the county’s new director of finance, a position held by Bartlett for years. “In losing John Bartlett, we all had to take new assignments. The new assignment I got was as chairman of budget and management, which I thought was pretty good. I like that. But you know what I’ve come to find out? I made a whole lot of new friends,” Kelly quipped. “Every department head now calls me Mr. Kelly. They didn’t even know who the hell I was just six months ago, now all know who I am, which is nice to see.” But the centerpiece of the day was the choosing of Haines as freeholder director. (See the Dec. 29 print editions of Micromedia Publications for the story.) She is only the second woman ever to hold the position, and the first in 40 years to do so. Her term as freeholder expires at the end of this year. “Thank you to my fellow freeholders for their confidence in me to be director in 2019.

ers considered as Bartlett’s replacement, and officially chosen as Little’s running mate Sept. 5, a mere two months before the November general election. He was sworn in with his family surrounding him. “This is the first time in 39 years that John Bartlett isn’t sitting up here,” Quinn said after being sworn in. “I have to tell you, it’s such an honor to take and fill John’s seat. I know when John first got sick, it was something that he and I had talked about, I got the nomination. And knowing that he was behind me, he was supporting me to take and move into his seat when he left, truly meant the world to me. And I told John I would do everything in my power to continue building on his legacy and bring my new ideas to the board.” Bartlett was called the architect of the county’s multimillion dollar budget, which in 2018 was $416.1 million. The county has maintained a AAA bond rating, even after Superstorm Sandy ravaged its coast back in 2012, something everyone who knew Bartlett said he was extremely proud of.

Continued From Page 1 Brush was one of 12 applicants interviewed to fill the vacant council seat left by Brendan Weiner, who stepped down back in February 2017 when he, his wife and toddler daughter moved to Lacey Township. Brush was sworn in March 27 that year, and served to the end of that unexpired term in 2018. She ran with then-Council president Wallis unopposed, and with incumbent Mayor Kenneth Palmer, were all sworn in at the township’s Jan. 2 reorganization meeting.

The Manchester Times, January 12, 2019, Page 5 After four of the fastest years of my life, we - which includes the Council, 200 dedicated employees and the administration - I believe, have done so.” Under his leadership and close working relationship with the council, Palmer said his administration has reduced the tax rate each year and built up its surplus to a 20-year high. He’s made $3 million worth of local road improvements, repaired and ref urbished the township’s water infrastructure, bolstered police staff, and saved taxpayer money by entering into shared services agreements with Lakehurst and Toms River. With the help of late-Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr., Palmer has started plans to bring a county park into town. Local fire departments have new trucks as well. Looking ahead, the township plans to construct a new water tower, continue township parks and paving rehab projects, and expand town hall to accommodate the township’s growing needs. He and Council also want to work to attract commercial ratables into town. Manchester Council meets 6 p.m. on Mondays at the municipal complex, 1 Colonial Drive.

According to an Associated Press report on MarketWatch, Eddie Lampert and his ESL Holdings hedge fund have made a bid to buy the rest of Sears for up to $4.6 billion in cash and stock in a move to stave off liquidation. However, it appears they will continue with plans to close stores that have fallen on hard times and are no longer proﬁtable. The Kmart in Stafford Township was closed down in September of 2017.

The Illinois-based company had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October, announcing the closure of unproﬁtable locations. More than 260 stores have already closed. At the present time, New Jersey has 11 Sears and 12 Kmart stores left in the ﬂeet. As of now, the Kmart of Toms River and the Sears Appliance and Hardware Store in the Howell Plaza Shopping Center will be closing. The Sears in the Freehold Raceway Mall appears to be safe, at least for now.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER Crestwood Exercise Room A Life Saver Surreal is the word that comes to mind whenever I think back to that night in late November of 2014. I vaguely remember angrily and incoherently screaming at my wife Marge, which was so out of character for me, that she dialed 911. Emergency techs asked me simple, routine questions like what was my name, address, names and birth dates of my children. I could not answer these questions and it was decided to get me to a hospital. By the time I arrived at the hospital, I was semi-comatose and was put in ICU where I remained for the better part of a week. To make a long and traumatic story short, I was released from the hospital some three weeks later, 40 pounds lighter and considerably weaker than when I arrived. I had suffered a severe case of bacterial and viral pneumonia and at one point my children were called into the hospital from their homes in Florida and Toms River as doctors did not think I would make it. With the grace of God I did make it but emerged weak and emaciated. I have always been an exercise enthusiast and after needed home therapy enabled me to walk and function albeit slowly and marginally, I decided to get back to working out. I put together a makeshift gym in the garage of my home with a small space heater for winter and a fan for summer workouts. I had a

few dumbbells and a work out bench but I longed for the full workout a professional gym would give me and to which I had grown accustomed to over the years. My neighbor, Mary Grunwald, past Crestwood 2 President, advised me that at Crestwood 2, a full service gym was being worked on and that in the near future I could expect it to be up and running. On March 6, 2017, that gym became a reality and I began attending regularly over at Harmony Hall. The gym is open 6 days per week from 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays, from 8:30 a.m. to 8:45 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and from 8:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. on Saturday. Not only has the gym gotten be back to my former self, but I have established lasting friendships with folks of like mind and spirit like Ed, Carol, Paul, Nick, Marlene, Marge, Lynn, Alice, Joanne and Gerry all of whom I work out with regularly. I am grateful for this important Crestwood 2 amenity and as my good friend and fellow gym attendee Ed Brennan likes to say, we attend “for the health of it.” I strongly urge all Crestwood 2 residents to get on over to our professionally equipped exercise room and check it out. Your health and vitality could very well depend on it. Joe Ferentino Manchester

employees were furloughed and were not getting paid due to a government shutdown. This is unacceptable. Locally, more than 700 IRS employees represented by (NTEU) will suffer pay cuts from these unpaid furlough days. Contrary to various membe r s of Cong re ss who caused this mess, these

employees are hard-working individuals who are dedicated to assisting taxpayers and collecting the revenue that funds all government programs. They are committed public servants. It is counterproductive to hamstring the agency that collects 93 percent of the revenue that keeps our country running. Any unpaid furlough day will be very difﬁcult for my members. Like many Americans, many of my members live paycheck to paycheck. Most of these employees earn far less than what can reasonably be considered a middle-class salary. This unwelcome pay cut will make it even more difﬁcult for workers to make ends meet. Being an IRS employee is a challenging job. These workers have signed on to serve the public and are dedicated to that mission. Forcing them to take unpaid days off is no way to attract and retain the best workers. In closing, I want to reinforce that the role of federal agencies and federal employees are far too important to be curtailed by another shutdown. Federal employees deserve better.

From the Assembly: Remember The Move Over Law You see it every day: a police ofﬁcer pulling over a driver on the side of the road; a maintenance crew setting up cones; an ambulance responding to the scene of a crash. How do you respond when you happen upon one of these sights? Do you continue driving in your lane, not giving it another thought? For far too many drivers, this is the case. These sights have become so commonplace in our daily commute that we don’t realize the dangers that these professionals face when drivers

Letters To The Editor cently advanced out of the speed by. But the harsh reality remains: when you don’t move over or slow down, lives are at stake. The Move Over Law is a simple and common sense means of reducing the dangers that police officers, emergency responders, and maintenance workers face while out on the job. When you see a professional working on the side of the road, slow down and move over. If you are unable to safely move over, then reduce your speed below the posted speed limit and drive carefully past the scene. This is a simple trafﬁc law that should be second nature to any driver passing an emergency response or maintenance vehicle on the side of the road. Unfortunately, far too many drivers are either unaware of this law or simply do not adhere to it. We became vocal supporters of the Move Over Law after meeting local advocate Donna Setaro. Ms. Setaro’s son, New Jersey State Trooper Marc Castellano, was struck and killed while standing on the shoulder of Route 195 in 2010. His tragic death inspired the Move Over Law and has spared countless innocent lives. Ms. Setaro has since brought her “Move over AwaReness Campaign,” or MARC, to thousands of people all over the state, and recently reached her personal goal of spreading her message to 100,000 people. Working with Ms. Setaro, we have made it our mission to increase awareness for this vital traffic law. Our police ofﬁcers, emergency responders, and maintenance workers deserve to feel safe when they are deployed on the side of the road. They should not have to worry about a distracted or speeding driver losing control of their vehicle. Recently, in an effort to increase awareness and encourage compliance, we worked to introduce a bill to revise the penalties associated with violations of New Jersey’s Move Over Law. The bill, which re-

Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee, would require two motor vehicle points to be assessed when a driver fails to abide by the Move Over Law. Currently, violators of the Move Over Law are subject to a fine between $100 and $500. We want to do everything we can to protect our state’s law enforcement officers. By penalizing individuals who violate the state’s Move Over Law with points, they will understand that this is not an issue we in New Jersey take lightly. We need to send a clear message to motorists about the importance of the law and serve as a better deterrent against distracted driving, which is the main cause of crashes in the state. So, as you take to the roads this holiday season, and face the inevitable traffic that comes along with the Christmas commute, please remember the Move Over Law. You may just save a life. Office of Senator Vin Gopal, and Assembly Members Eric Houghtaling and Joann Downey

Who To Call About Robocalls This letter is addressed to Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th) Congressman, I thank you for your form letter in response to my call about the persistent robocalls that your constituents receive each and every day. They start before 9 a.m., and peak about the dinner hour. Three today alone before noon, and the medical device offer was from a number that changes every time, so the electronic block on my phone is overloaded, and can’t keep up with their changed number. You spoke about the Anti-Spooﬁng Act of 2017 that was included in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018 (HR 1625). Well this isn’t a form letter, and I will copy several of the

papers in your district, and hope that they publish my response. As now “Dean, New Jersey Delegation,” who survived the purge of 2018 because of a very safe gerrymandered district, and the congressman’s forethought to support the Affordable Care Act (Obama Care), you should not have voted for the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018 (HR 1625), as it paid for the budget of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Their job is to enforce violations of the National Do Not Call Registry. My number, and probably most of your constituents, has long been listed on that directory, and we all get multiple calls every day. They do not deserve a budget as they do nothing to correct this problem What can constituents do in the time waiting to correct this problem? Simply call the local number for Congressman Smith, (732) 780-3035, and a nice young man or woman will take your name, and number. If you live, and vote, in the district your will get a nice form letter, and continued robocalls for a little while. If everyone calls after every robocall, or at least once a day for all calls received, the congressman’s phone will get totally jammed with junk calls, as do ours. I’m sure a few days of jammed phones will start the effort to correct the problem, especially if our friends in other districts start to call, and jam the phones in their congressional ofﬁces. It’s easy, set their number up on speed dial like, (732) 780-3035, and don’t forget to give the nice young man or woman who answers your address, so you get your form letter. Don’t worry Congressman Smith doesn’t pay postage, so it won’t cost the government much, and it will give the nice young people something else to do, as they are not busy setting up townhall meetings for the Congressman.

Task Force Would Improve Services For Caregivers

From The Desk Of Lieutenant Governor

Sheila Oliver T R EN TON – Act i ng Gove r nor Sheila Oliver signed legislation to establish the New Jersey Caregiver Task Force, which will evaluate support services that are available to caregivers. The Task Force will also recommend improvements and expansion of such services and is required to provide an initial report within a year of its organization. “Caregivers throughout our state work long hours for often little to no compensation, supporting the elderly and those with disabilities, including mental illnesses,” Acting Governor Sheila Oliver said. “I am proud to sign a bill creating the New Jersey Caregiver Taskforce, which will explore ways to improve con-

ditions and support these selﬂess individuals and the people they care for.” “Caregivers are vital to the quality of life for many New Jerseyans, especially individuals with disabilities and older adults, but caregiving is also difﬁcult work that can take its toll,” said Commissioner Carole Johnson, member of the New Jersey Caregiver Task Force. “Caregivers devote their lives to their loved ones, often missing work and missing out on wages, and this is going to become more of a concern in the c o m i ng ye a r s w it h a n ag i ng p opu lat ion. T he Mur phy Administration is com mit ted to sup por ti ng caregivers and improving programs that can help. I look forward to

working with the task force and supporting caregivers throughout our state.” The Task Force will consist of 11 members from public and private sectors. Three public members will be appointed by the Governor, including one person who is a caregiver for a person with a disability, one person who is a caregiver for a person with mental illness, and one person who is a caregiver for an elderly person. Prime sponsors of the bill include Senators Joseph Vitale and Linda Greenstein; Assembly members Pamela Lampitt, Gabriela Mosquera, and Valerie Vainieri Huttle. “This legislation will allow us to study and design the kind of relief and support needed by uncompensated relatives, friends or community members who take care of the elderly, disabled or mentally ill,” said Senator Vitale. “We need to formulate the right kind of support for caregivers now so that when the number of adults needing assistance with

daily activities doubles by 2020, we will be prepared to help.” “Caregiving can take serious emotional and physical tolls that often leads to consequences in the caregivers’ own lives, ranging from health issues to the loss of wages and health beneﬁts,” said Senator Greenstein. “Getting a better understanding of the needs of caregivers will allow us to provide assistance to them in areas of their lives where they need it the most.” “Caregivers face an untold number of challenges in today’s society,” said Assemblywoman Lampitt. “Many family caregivers are fulfilling these duties out of a sense of love and devotion, which can often make them feel anxious and overwhelmed. We must make sure we are doing all we can to provide them with the resources and support they need to ﬁll this critical role.” “Anyone who’s ever found

themselves in a caregiver role understands the toll it can take,” said Assemblywoman Mosquera. “Lack of sleep, privacy and the time to fulﬁll one’s own needs can increase the risk for depression and anxiety. I hope this task force will take to heart the real-life experiences of caregivers so we can create a greater support network statewide.”

“Studies show that the emotional and physical health of caregivers often suffers as a result of the stress and physical demands they encounter, particularly when it comes to caring for people with dementia or Alzheimer’s,” said Assemblywoman Vainieri Huttle. “This task force will take an honest look at how we ca n b et t e r a d d r e s s these needs.”

NEW JERSEY – With the winter season in full swing, its always a good idea to check on your household water pipes to prevent freezing. Aqua New Jersey is reminding residents to take these steps: • Have a supply of heat tape, pipe insulation, a portable space heater and a hair dryer on hand • Locate and visibly mark the home’s master water valve. In the event that a pipe does break, use this value to turn off water to the home. • Make sure the lids on outdoor meter pits are not broken or missing. • Shut off and drain any outside faucets including those for lawn sprinkling systems. Prevent drafts in unheated areas, such as crawl spaces or basements, by replacing broken glass or making other repairs. When temperatures drop below freezing, take the following precautions in those unheated areas: • Wrap pipes with insulation material or heat tape. Wrap indoor water meters with

a blanket. Proper and safe use of portable space heaters can also keep exposed pipes in drafty areas from freezing. • For interior plumbing located on an outside wall such as a kitchen sink, install heat tape to the pipes beneath the sink. If no small children are in the house, open cabinet doors beneath the sink to allow the warm air in the home to reach the pipes. • When temperatures remain near 10°F, customers may want to leave a very thin stream of water running continuously from at least one tap in their home—preferably the one farthest from the meter. The additional cost of the water is cheaper than the cost of repairing ruptured pipes. • If a customer can locate the frozen area of a pipe, open a spigot and use a handheld hair dryer (blow dryer) or heat tape to thaw the area. If this does not resolve the issue, contact a licensed plumber. “Each winter, we receive many calls from customers who are dealing with pipes that have frozen or ruptured due to extreme winter temperatures,” stated Aqua New Jersey President John Hildabrant. “Frozen pipes become a concern anytime the high temperature drops below freezing for a sustained period. We want to make sure our customers know how to keep their home’s water flowing during an Arctic blast, and also what to do if their pipes do freeze this winter.” For more information, visit AquaAmerica. com.

Manchester Urged To Recycle Correctly

By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – The recycling program in Manchester continues to be a success, Mayor Kenneth Palmer said, urging people to place in the recycling bins only what can be recycled. The following items are able to be placed in the bins: bottles, cans, cardboard, newspaper, junk mail, magazines, ofﬁce paper, and catalogs. Prohibited single stream items include: plastic bags, shredded paper, garden hoses, furniture, and air conditioners. Anything that doesn’t belong slows down the works, and makes everything more costly. For the ﬁrst time in three decades, the county has lost money through recycling. This is because the wrong materials cause staff to have to remove the items, and they can damage the machines. Additionally, plastic bags shouldn’t be put in the containers. It may come a time when the county would start turning away trucks with recycling in plastic bags. This would trickle down to the local level, causing township employees to leave these bags at the curb.

An Easy Fix An easy way to learn how to recycle is to download the “Recycle Coach” free app. “Recycle Coach makes it easy for our residents to learn how they can recycle

particular items and is a great way to ensure that everyone in Manchester Township is doing their part to keep single stream recycling a viable program for years to come,” said Manchester Township Public Works Director Al Yodakis. In order to download this app, follow these instructions: • Search for “Recycle Coach” in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store on your phone or the device of your choice. • Download and install the app. • Search for your home address. An interactive calendar will be displayed, showing pick-up dates and other important information regarding waste management. These same Recycle Coach features may also be accessed through a web browser at recyclecoach.com. On this website, you can: • Find out when to put out recyclables and solid waste for pickup • Ask questions about what is recyclable • Receive speciﬁc communication from their town or county • Read articles about becoming better recyclers • Stay informed of missed pick-ups or holiday collection schedules • Listen to educational podcasts • View a ‘What Goes Where’ database

Smoking Ban Starts On Beaches, Parks By Chris Lundy TRENTON - Environmentalists are breathing a sigh of relief as the smoking ban on beaches goes into effect this year. The prohibition also affects public parks, since smoking is a lead cause of forest ﬁres. “This new law will protect us from second hand smoke and our communities, clean water, and the environment,” said Jeff Tittel,

Director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. “Now we will no longer be turning our beaches into ashtrays.” Cigarettes are an environmental problem and safety problem, he explained. They can be eaten by animals, marine life or even children. Furthermore, the cigarettes leave behind nicotine and pesticides in plastic ﬁbers that will linger long after they are smoked.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

What Does Hearing Loss Look Like Across the Age Spectrum?

More than 36 million American adults report that they have hearing loss. Although many people assume hearing loss only affects those around retirement age, about two-thirds of all cases of hearing loss occur in people under the age of 65. So how can hearing aids beneﬁt the entire age spectrum, children, teens, the American workforce, and retirees? Let’s take a look at some rather revealing data regarding hearing loss and hearing aids. In children and teens: At least 1.8 million U.S. children have trouble hearing. Nearly 1.5 million are school age. Nine of every 10 children born deaf are born to parents who can hear normally. In-utero ear infections can lead to deafness. Three continuous months of ear infections can lead to deafness. Children exposed to secondhand smoke have twice the risk of hearing loss. One in ﬁve teens now suffers from at least a mild hearing loss due to excessive volume when using iPods and other listening devices. In the American workforce: About 26 million Americans between the prime employment ages of 20 and 69 have high-frequency hearing loss. One in four workers exposed to high levels of noise experience hearing loss later in life. Those with untreated hearing loss lose

about $30,000 a year due to underemployment. Police, fi refighters, factory workers, farmers, construction workers, musicians, heavy-industry workers, the military and professional hunters are at the highest risk of experiencing hearing loss. In retirees: About 30 percent of adults ages 65 to 74 have hearing loss. About 47 percent of adults over the age of 75 have hearing loss. Hearing loss in retirees leads to more hospitalization and poorer health overall. Dementia, depression and brain shrinkage are all strongly correlated to untreated hearing loss, which is likely partially responsible for those diseases occurring. Diabetes and cardiovascular disease are also associated with untreated hearing loss. Fortunately, hearing aids are a huge benefit to 90 percent of those with hearing loss, regardless of age group or severity. For those with mild hearing loss, hearing aids greatly reduce or eliminate the risk of income loss, and people with hearing aids are nearly twice as likely to be employed as those with untreated hearing loss or those who simply don’t wear their hearing aids. If you want to make sure you’re getting all you can out of your current set, bring them in and we’ll take a look at how the technology is working for you.

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 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

8 Fantastic Ways To Use Lemon Essential Oil

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Lemon essential oil is in my refrigerator or purse at all times. It is just great to have around the house for various uses. I sprinkle it in water for an uplifting lemon zing f lavor, and put a few drops on top of the wet clothes in my dryer to make the clothes fresh. If you have a test to study for, or a blog to write, you can simply diffuse it next to you and take note how it stimulates your brain to think faster and with more clarity. Lemon makes you more alert. What’s most fascinating is that there are studies proving how it can spur lymphatic drainage, which is very important if you have the f lu. Look at these four important findings next. 1. Alleviate nausea - In studies, lemon essential oil proved to effectively ease nausea, when inhaled. A 2014 double blind study revealed that when feeling nauseous, if pregnant women inhaled lemon essential oil, they immediately felt some relief from nausea. 2. Freshens Breath - Lemon essential oil, especially when combined with two other oils, tea tree oil and peppermint, was able to significantly reduce bad breath. You can put a drop onto your toothbrush or you can put it in salt water and gargle with it. 3. Promotes Weight Loss - A recent animal study found that when mice were supplied with polyphenols from lemon essential oil, they were able to drastically reduce abdominal fat, reduce elevated blood sugar, and reverse insulin resistance. Furthermore, a 2013 study found that lemon essential oil, when combined

with grapefruit increased fat-burning potential. 4. Fights Cancer - Scientists have only begun to unearth the many cancer-fighting powers of lemon and other citrus essential oils including grapefruit and orange oil. For example, A 2010 study found that lemon essential oil can stop cervical cancer cells from growing and induce apoptosis (cell death) in surrounding cells. The terpenes activate olfactory receptors which then trigger a signal to your immune system, to prompt the attack and destruction of certain cancer cells. It’s rather sophisticated, if you think about it, considering this effect comes from a lip-smacking fruit! Lemon essential oil is one of the most potent and most affordable essential oils on the market today. Certainly, if lemon is not your cup of tea (and yes you can put it into tea), then try another citrus-based oil such as wild orange, tangerine, clementine or grapefruit. Here are 8 fantastic ways to use lemon essential oil: 1. A drop in ice water or tea 2. In a spray bottle with water and/ or other oils to freshen the laundry in your dryer 3. In your cleanser, just add a few drops 4. A few drops in lotion to your abdomen 5. Sniff it straight out of the bottle 6. Diffuse it in your room 7. A few drops to your shower f loor, then get in 8. Soak your dirty dishes in hot sudsy water with a few drops of lemon oil

Inside The Law Why A Survey Is Essential For Successful Closing?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Dina M. Vicari, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

During the process of purchasing a home, many buyers are concerned with the bottom line and look for ways to cut costs. One of the first items they may choose to forego to save money is to opt out of ordering a survey. This article is intended to provide information which will assist the purchaser in making a well informed decision whether to obtain or forego a survey. Many purchasers are not aware of all the various important components that a survey can disclose. A survey is not just a simple drawing showing boundary lines and location of the dwelling, but it also delineates right of ways, easements, encroachments, and/or gaps between property lines. The survey can also confirm the location of a water way, an existing improvement and determine whether all the structures on the property you are looking to purchase are within the property boundary lines such as sheds, pools, retaining walls and fences. Perhaps the most important pieces of information a survey will provide are the property’s zoning classification, dimension and size, which will allow you to determine if the property conforms to the local lot size requirements. Once the survey is obtained your attorney will forward it to the title company, who will also research the information contained therein. If the survey accurately shows that there are no property line encroachments then the title company will not require any exceptions in its policy, which will allow the title company to provide coverage and defend against anyone who, in the future, challenges the accuracy of the property lines. If you do not have an accurate and current survey prior to clos-

ing then any disputes, whether it is with the seller, a neighbor or a Dina M. Vicari Esq. governmental agency, as to the location of a fence, shed, or any larger structure such as a pool, deck or an addition will become yours to resolve. These disputes can be costly and you possibly may be precluded from seeking recourse from the previous owner. The basic survey cost is around $650800 and of course the cost may be more if the property is very large or has irregular shape. If you chose to have metal stakes installed at the corners then that may increase the cost of the survey. These markers are important for those homeowners who, after making the purchase, want to install a fence, pool, shed, or an addition to the dwelling. The purchase of a home or lot may be overwhelming but the attorneys at R.C. Shea and Associates can assist you through that process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

Jersey Shore Resident To Appear On Wheel Of Fortune By Jennifer Peacock

BAYVILLE – Bayville resident Gina Maslen will appear on the 7:30 p.m. Jan. 15 episode of Wheel of Fortune. Maslen, a member of “the Wheel Club,” was chosen out of 70 applicants to appear on the show. She auditioned in Philadelphia in October when the show was looking for contestants from the area. “It has been on my bucket list to be on so when I saw they were coming to Philadelphia for try outs, I just had to apply,” Maslen said. She found out two weeks after her audition that she would be ﬂying out to Los Angeles to tape the show over a November weekend. She had to meet with a lawyer while out there, who explained the rules of what she could discuss before the show airs, which isn’t very much. Maslen is a receptionist at The Pines at Whiting, a senior living community. She said it was difﬁcult not being able to immediately share her experience with the residents there. “The hard part is keeping it all a secret from the residents at The Pines. My family and friends understand that I cannot discuss the outcome, but many of the residents will come up and ask me questions that I cannot answer due to legal reasons,” Maslen said. One resident even asked Maslen for an autograph. Maslen, like all Wheel of Fortune contestants, will get a picture of herself spinning the wheel. She’s not

–Photo courtesy Sony Pictures allowed to say if or what she won, or if she made it to the ﬁnal puzzle. “The wheel is over 2000 pounds and very heavy,” Maslen said. The Pines at Whiting plans to have a viewing party with her.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jan 12 - jan 18

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Pleasure comes before business. Social interactions might come more naturally than trying to make headway with work or career matters in the week to come. A close companion knows how to make you smile. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Keep it to yourself. Be friendly and courteous with those you encounter but avoid giving away too much personal information. Passion and conviction can rally others to join your cause in the week ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Stick with what works. This is not the week to test radical new ideas because if you rock the boat you may create headaches. Focus your attention on activities that inspire and bring enjoyment in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Do your own thing. You will be at your best when you think and act independently, so you may want to choose your own path in the week ahead. This could be an ideal time to make changes or upgrades. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Keep it simple. Overanalyzing a situation could make things more difﬁcult than they need to be. Stick with tried and true methods in the week ahead as you may ﬁnd the latest time saving technique to be confusing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Say it like you mean it. Being too subtle about your intentions may leave those around you confused about what you want. Get right to the point, without being contentious, and you’ll avoid unnecessary mistakes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Romance goes into full bloom. Favorable circumstances may help a relationship reach a whole new level of understanding. Your personal charm and magnetism make it easy to have your way this week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Logic falls to the wayside. You may find the going easier if you go with your gut instinct rather than trying to compute all the facts. Be sure to give a romantic partner all the time he or she deserves this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t beat a dead horse. Agree to disagree as constantly trying to change someone’s mind will just have you running in endless circles. Put the needs of family and friends above all else this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Seize the opportunity. Stay alert in the week ahead as you may have a chance to make the big move you desire. Buying a new outfit or trying a different hairstyle could provide some much-needed confidence. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The sky belongs to the stars. You’ll feel like a star this week as your popularity will put you in high demand in both business and romantic venues. If you have need of a favor, you’ll likely get it with ease. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Have it your way. Your personality and charm will have others eating out of the palm of your hand and make you the center of attention as the week unfolds. Meeting new people may be worth your while.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen This Gourmet Pasta Recipe Won’t Break The Bank By Wolfgang Puck SWEET POTATO RAVIOLI WITH HAZELNUT BROWN BUTTER SAUCE Serves 6 For the sweet potato ﬁlling: 1 1/4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks 2 ounces (60 g) fresh goat cheese 1 1/2 ounces (45 g) pine nuts, lightly toasted 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly grated Parmesan 1 teaspoon minced fresh sage leaves 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon honey 1 large egg, lightly beaten For the pasta dough and ravioli: 3 cups (750 mL) all-purpose ﬂour, plus extra for dusting 8 large egg yolks 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 2 to 3 tablespoons water 1 large egg, lightly beaten with 1 teaspoon water For the hazelnut brown butter and herb sauce: 1 cup (250 mL) hazelnuts 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces 2 1/4 cups good-quality canned chicken stock, heated 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano leaves 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan To serve: Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper Freshly grated Parmesan

For the sweet potato filling, in a medium saucepan, cover the sweet potatoes with cold water. Bring to a boil, and cook until fork-tender. Drain well. Press through a potato ricer into a medium bowl. Stir in the goat cheese, pine nuts, Parmesan, sage, rosemary, salt and honey. Cool to room temperature. Stir in the egg. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Meanwhile, make the pasta dough. Put the flour, yolks, salt, oil and 2 tablespoons water in a food processor. Process until the dough begins to hold together. Pinch the dough: If it feels too dry, continue to pulse and add up to 1 more tablespoon water until a moist ball forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth. Wrap loosely in plastic wrap, and leave at room temperature for 1 hour. Cut the dough into four portions and work with one at a time, keeping the rest covered. On a flour-dusted work surface, use a rolling pin to roll out a piece of dough into a strip 20 inches (50 cm) long and 4 inches (10 cm) wide. Brush with the egg-water mixture. Equally spaced lengthwise across the bottom half, spoon out 7 heaping tablespoons of filling. Fold the top half over to cover the filling, pushing the mounds toward the folded edge and pressing down around each to seal it in. With a 3-inch (7.5-cm) cookie cutter, cut out half-moon-shaped ravioli along the folded edge. Transfer the ravioli to a flour-dusted tray, and dust with more flour. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Gather, knead and roll out dough scraps, and make more ravioli with any remaining filling. Cover and refrigerate. For the sauce, toast the hazelnuts in a 350 F (175 C) oven until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Fold inside a clean towel and rub to remove as much skin as possible. Coarsely chop in a food processor, and set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Swirl the butter in the pan until it browns and smells nutty, watching carefully not to burn it. Add the stock, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until reduced by half. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook until al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and add to the sauce with the chopped hazelnuts and Parmesan. Simmer for 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Divide among six heated serving plates or pasta bowls, garnish with Parmesan, and serve immediately.
