By Chris Lundy, Jennifer Peacock, and Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – Security has always been on the minds of school officials, and with every school shooting, the need for it is underscored more and more. A year after 17 people were killed at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, local superintendents say that there have been added security personnel and investments to make the buildings better defended.

Lakehurst Calls Manchester For Tech Support
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Lakehurst Borough and Manchester Township continue to seek ways to share services or enter into interlocal agreements and save taxpayers money. The two municipalities have reached one such agreement. They’ve entered into a one-year contract in which Lakehurst will pay Manchester for
information technology services, a cost savings for the borough. Lakehurst had been using Coastal Solutions for its IT services. According to vendor reports provided by the borough, it spent $19,858.22 for those services in 2018 and $25,273.67 in 2017. “The Borough needs IT services for networking

By Jennifer Peacock LAKEHURST – The problem not only displaced students and staff for months, but destroyed property as well—especially books. Lakehurst Elementary School students spent their first four months of this school year dispersed throughout the borough and Manchester Township schools as their school was remediated for mold. While a GoFundMe page was established back in September to raise money to help replace items and cover some clean-up costs, a Joint Base Maguire-Dix-Lakehurst parent, whose children attend the school, reached out to another organization for help. Operation Paperback was started in 1999 when CMS Rick Honeywell was deployed to Kuwait for a four-month stint. There was no recreation of any kind, so Honeywell’s wife Chrissy sent a huge care package of candy, games and books. Her father, Dan Bowers, pulled (Library - See Page 5)

Security:
Continued From Page 1 There will also be a security vestibule in every school, he said. Anyone who comes into the building will have to conduct business with a receptionist behind glass. Any packages would be left there. The only time an adult would be in the building would be for something scheduled, like a parent-teacher meeting. At the end of last summer, the township expanded the number of Class III special officers from four to 19. This allowed them to have one armed officer in each of the town’s 14 public schools, one at the Donovan Catholic campus, and four substitutes. Since Donovan Catholic/Saint Joseph is a private school, they were paying the officer’s salary. They were placed there not only for security, but to get to know the kids and be able to address any issues before they grow, Police Chief Mitch Little had said at the time. Class IIIs are recently retired officers who have the training, but not the higher salary or benefits, allowing them to be a more affordable option.
Additionally, there are safety officers employed by the district, Healy said. “At any time, our buildings have at least one gun in it. Sometimes two. Sometimes three. It sounds harsh but it’s a reality,” he said. “Parents want to know ‘If someone comes in to hurt our kids, will there be someone there who can stop them with lethal force?’” He complimented the officers on all their training, particularly the active shooter drills that were conducted. The key is deterrence. “If someone wants to rob your house, they’re going to go to the house that doesn’t have two dogs,” he said. Jackson Township Six elementary, two middle and two high schools comprise the Jackson Township School District. Nearly 9,000 public school students are educated - and protected - in this 100.6-square-mile municipality. “We talk about security constantly - every day in our schools and at the administrative level, at every board meeting and during every budget discussion,’’ Superintendent of Schools Stephen Genco said. “We know that in order to keep up, we need to keep
investing in the people, training and infrastructure that will create the safest schools we can.’’ The district is in its final phase of a multiyear project to install security vestibules in its schools. The doors are locked at all times, and visitors must be buzzed in. Visitors are more easily screened, and are forbidden to enter the building during students’ arrival and dismissal. Only those with verifiable appointments or business in the school can enter. Security cameras dot the inside and outside of all district buildings, and are accessible to Jackson Township Police. Not only does the district have an agreement with the police to regularly patrol the school parking lots, but police hold off-hours training exercises to prepare for school-based emergencies. “Although there are many protocols and measures in place we recognize that continued focus on safety and security is crucial,’’ Genco said. “We work with law enforcement to identify any and all options that will strengthen our school security and provide a physically and emotionally safe environment for all children to learn.”
Students and staff practice drills monthly as well. They are trained in ALICE - Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate - the most used civilian active shooter response training in the country. Voters also approved a measure this past November that approved a $411,611 tax levy increase to hire six additional security guards to join the School Resource Officers at the high schools (and who do visit the other eight schools) and other trained security personnel. “The addition of these six security guards was always part of our broader security plan, but I think it’s fair to say the tragedy in Parkland accelerated those plans,’’ Genco said. “We knew we needed this personnel to provide optimum security coverage for all 10 schools, so we pushed forward, asked for voter approval, and it was successful.’’ Manchester Township Manchester Township Schools educate a little more than 2,800 students in its three elementary schools, middle and high school, in addition to the Regional Day School in Jackson. The district receives about 150 high school students from Lakehurst Borough, who go to school at Lakehurst Elementary School, a K-8 institution and separate from the Manchester district. Manchester School’s Superintendent David Trethaway said constructing security features into schools is a process that can’t be done all at once. Like Jackson Township, Manchester schools have gradually added security vestibules to each school. The change was a jolt at first, especially for parents who were used to breezing in to see the principal or visit a child’s classroom. But in this post-Columbine, and now post-Parkland world, they do understand. “Every time there is crisis, you think, ‘That can never happen here.’ You have to be prepared,” Trethaway said. “…But you have to find a balance. You don’t want [the schools] to be a prison. We make sure the students are safe, but that this is still school.” In addition to security vestibules, the high school does have a School Resource Officer. Each school practices a different security drill - bomb scare, active shooter, fire, lockdown, among others - each month, and teachers and staff are ALICE trained. Southern Regional Not only have schools been steadily bolstering their security measures in just the last year since Parkland, but some schools, such as the Southern Regional School District, have been doing so for much longer. Superintendent of Southern Regional schools Craig Henry provided Jersey Shore Online with data on a five-year financial trend for operational security funding, going back to 2014: • 2014-15: $199,197 • 2015-16: $209,000 • 2016-17: $245,000 • 2017-18: $252,000 • 2018-19: $296,000 This data shows a clear increase each year in the amount of money spent on security during the school year from 2014 (Security - See Page 16)

Continued From Page 1 paperbacks from his collection to send over, and encouraged others to do the same. Soon, Rick Honeywell’s squadron had 500 books and needed to build shelves. Today, the bookshelves in the Lakehurst Elementary School and many of its classrooms are empty. Mold claimed most of them. Lakehurst Superintendent Loren Fuhring said back in August that the mold remediation crew put it to her this way: treat this situation as if it were a fire. Everything is lost. So while Operation Paperback mostly focuses on getting books into the hands of soldiers overseas, Chrissy Honeywell believed the school, which does serve military families in the area, should receive the Operation’s help. “The school needs children’s books from PreK up through Junior High. They are asking for new/like new/[very] gently used books. They do [not] want musty books from someone’s basement — they are trying to avoid any future problems with mold after the experience they’ve been through,” Chrissy Honeywell wrote in an email to The Manchester Times.
The response, to say the least, has been overwhelming. She didn’t have an exact number of books collected thus far, but said books are being mailed directly the parent who reached out to her, and also dropped off at the Community Center in the borough, where the parent retrieves them and takes them back to base, where volunteers have been sorting them. “I have been blown away by the response,” Chrissy Honeywell added. Those who would like to donate can write to Chrissy Honeywell at chrissy@operationpaperback.org. She will put them in touch with the contact for this book drive. Since its beginning, Operation Paperback has sent more than 3 million books to deployed troops. “In general, people of all ages/walks of life are part of Operation Paperback. Our volunteers range from school kids/scout groups/church groups all the way up through businesses and working adults to retired folks. Many of our volunteers are ex-military or have family members in the military. But the one thing they all have in common is a love of reading. Every one of our volunteers can’t imagine a life without books!” Chrissy Honeywell wrote.
Tech:
Continued From Page 1 problems, desktop support, maintaining our anti-virus software, overseeing nightly back-up, assisting with the purchase of computer supplies and equipment, and telephone system support and repairs,” Lakehurst Borough Clerk Maryanne Capasso told The Manchester Times. The borough will spend $13,500 for the one-year contract with Manchester. “They came to us and asked us if we’d assist,” Manchester Township Business Administrator Donna Markulic said. “We’ll be allowing two of our employees that currently work here no more than 10 to 15 hours a month to go over there and perform services.”
Manchester’s IT services are in-house, with three employees. They will likely receive a small stipend for doing the extra work in Lakehurst, Markulic said. The township continues to explore shared services agreements with other municipalities. Markulic said because Manchester is often the larger township in these agreements, they often take on the larger share of responsibilities, but any amount of money coming into the town is a benefit to taxpayers. Manchester Township also performs building inspections for Lakehurst. Markulic said Manchester received $34,322 for 2018, which is average. The interlocal agreement was signed in February 2015 and inspections started that June. That agreement runs through December 2019.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F eatured L etter Murphy Should Listen To People Who Have Seen Addiction This letter was addressed to Governor Ph il Mu r p h y, a n d shared with this newspaper. I am the retired Chief of Police of the West Long Branch Police Department. In April of 2013, my son overdosed on heroin and was revived by the employment of Narcan and CPR. It was then I made a commitment to do whatever I could to diminish the stigma associated with addiction. Gover nor Ch r istie heard me speak at the press conference for the Narcan roll-out in Ocean County and appointed me to his Addiction Task Force. Working with Governor Christie and former Governor Jim McGreevey, I spoke at many gatherings throughout the State about addiction and stigma in particular. I remain very active in the addiction awareness community and cur rently ser ve on a steering committee for an addiction task force in Long Branch. Governor Christie and
I didn’t agree on many issues. We did however agree on how important it is to come together on the issue of addiction. You and I have a similar situation. I don’t agree with many of the initiatives that are the cornerstones of your administration, but I still feel it’s extremely important for people to put their differences aside when it comes to the life and death issue of addiction. I’m not a sk i ng to necessarily ser ve on whatever your administration is assembling to address addiction. However, I am imploring you to make use of someone with whom you could work to continue addressing the stigma of addiction. I attended a steering c o m m it t e e m e e t i ng with members of the public and there was a resounding expression of the absolute need to do exactly that.
Project Allowing Natural Dune Growth The Pinelands Preservation Alliance (PPA) has long been the champion of the 1.1 million acre Pinelands National Reser ve stretching across New Jersey, protecting it and advocating for it since 1989. Thanks to a grant provided by National Fish and Wildlife, PPA has been able to extend our environmental stewardship from beyond the forest to the coasts. In an effort to improve beach habitat management and resiliency, PPA has par t nered with Rar itan Valley Community College (RVCC) to strengthen the dune system along our shores. Dunes play a vital role in alleviating storm damage and provide habitat to many animals and plants. Many New Jersey towns recognize the importance of dunes and use beach replenishments to construct them. However, fills and replenishments are costly, and studies show that artificial dunes typically contain a lower volume of sand and limit more visibility than dunes that form naturally.
Letters To The PPA and RVCC’s project When questioned on this the Less Editor Town promotes better back beach management to facilitate the growth of natural dunes by installing Plant Protection Strips. The best part about these strips is they only require the installation of posts and signs along the back ends of beaches, protecting that area from raking and motor vehicles, which prevent plants that collect sediment from establishing. When left alone these strips show a substantial increase in sand accumulation, leading to the development of incipient dunes and promoting continued growth of vegetation. The project has shown promising results on public lands like Island Beach State Park and our team is inviting coastal communities to join us and bring this work to their beaches at no cost. Several municipalities have already agreed to take part, and with our teamwork New Jersey will be one step closer to building stronger and more resilient shorelines. Pinelands Preservation Alliance Southampton Township
Meetings: Less Transparency Transparency is the hallmark of democracy, open government and accountability. Most New Jersey municipalities are committed to this concept. While the Open Public Meetings Act, otherwise known as the Sunshine law, does not establish a required number of meetings that a municipality must schedule it is clear that the intent of this law is to ensure that business is discussed and acted upon in a public transparent manor at a scheduled meeting. It appears that the Township of Little Egg Harbor has a different concept of transparency when they reduced the number of scheduled meetings for 2019. The Little Egg’s web site stated that “the Committee formally meets on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month.” In 2018 the township scheduled 19 meetings, five short of what was called for, and by doing so required four special meetings. The 2019 schedule calls for 16 meetings, three less than the prior year and eight less then what the web site originally called for.

mayor stated that the reason was financial, and the web site would be changed. It now reads “The Township Committee formally meets on the second and fourth Thursdays during the months of January thru April, and the second Thursday during the months of May thru December.” Eliminating public meetings does not enhance transparency. Simply put: no meetings means no transparency, less meetings means less transparency. This is not a new concept. Art Mooney Little Egg Harbor
It’s Our Choice To Eschew Violence “Change or you will perish!” The reality of that admonition arrived full force with the dropping of the first atom bomb. If we do not eliminate violence in the human condition, the human condition on this planet is headed for extinction. The good news is that we can eliminate violence in the human condition. The solution to eliminating violence is found in The Golden Rule (Treat every human being as you would want to be treated) and its motivation (The law of equal return in the context of many lifetimes in the human condition). People understand The Golden Rule, but the motivation for it is kept hidden by those who want to rule over their fellow human beings. The simple solution for overcoming this obstacle is for every household on the planet to boldly display the three words The Golden Rule somewhere on the front of their property or house. With growing numbers of people doing this the motivation to live The Golden Rule will be exposed to all and violence will come to be regarded as a form of insanity. Sincerely, Ray Kalainikas

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Minimum Wage Increase Would Hurt Seasonal And Small Businesses Most CAPITOL COMMENTS 10th Legislative District Assemblyman Greg McGuckin Assemblyman Dave Wolfe
TR ENTON – Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Dave Wolfe and Greg McGuckin (all R-10th) sounded off on the passage of S-15/A-15 which would increase the minimum wage over time to $15 an hour. The Jersey shore legislators are vehemently opposed to the increase, stating it will hurt seasonal and small
businesses the most. “This bill is yet another attempt by Governor Murphy to force residents and business owners out of state,” said Senator Holzapfel. “Small businesses are the backbone of the Jersey shore and this wage increase will send ripple effects throughout our shore economy. Everyone, from
the business owner on the boardwalk, to the tourist at the beach, will pay for this wage hike. The only option left for our hardworking business owners is either to raise prices, cut workers or close up shop entirely.” The legislation defines seasonal businesses as those that make the most of their revenue du r ing cer tain months of the year, such as the summer, placing these businesses on a different wage increase schedule. If the legislation is signed into law as expected, beginning January 1, 2020, seasonal businesses need to pay their employees at least $10.30
an hour, and then increase that wage each year until it reaches $15 an hour in 2026. “Restaurants, bars, boardwalks and amusement parks on the Jersey shore will be the hardest hit,” added Assemblyman Wolfe. “Even with the delayed increase, the mom and pop shops on the boardwalk will have to pay a competitive wage to attract young workers, who will undoubtedly choose to find higher-paying jobs at a supermarket or coffee shop chain instead. This is devastating to small businesses no matter how you slice it.” The District 10 lawmakers also noted that the legisla-
tion sets artificially low limits of those who qualify as a “small business,” and fails to acknowledge in full the many seasonal industries across the state that will be hurt by new wage mandates they cannot afford. The tourism industry supports hundreds of thousands of jobs in New Jersey and generates billions of dollars in state and local tax revenue. It is a vital source of income for the state and its residents. “Last year, Governor Murphy took the egregious step of forcing short-term beach rentals to cope with a “shore tax.” Now he’s taking a di-
rect shot at small business owners, who will not be able to afford to their pay employees unless they increase their prices. Vacationing with your family to the Jersey Shore used to be an affordable getaway, until now,” said Assemblyman McGuckin. “This is not the way to keep or attract business owners, tourists, or new residents to our state. It’s a death sentence for our economy and our business climate as a whole. Regardless, on behalf of the taxpayers we serve, we will continue to fight to get the Jersey shore and the rest of the Garden State back on track.”
128-Year-Old Medal Of Honor Returns To Local Hero’s Family From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith FREEHOLD – Over 150 years after Private Thomas T. Fallon’s heroic actions in the Civil War, and 128 years after his being awarded the Medal of Honor for his valor, Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) presented Fallon’s great nephew - a Monmouth County resident - with the distinguished medal, returning it to the family. “Private Thomas T. Fallon received this Medal of Honor for his courage and heroism in battle and I am proud to have worked to help return this award to his descendants, as they are the rightful keepers,” Smith said. “Today we once again honor this man - and Freehold resident - who showed the highest qualities of valor while serving his country in uniform.” Smith presented Glenn Cashion - who researched
and determined that he was the great nephew of Private Fallon - with Fallon’s Medal of Honor. Smith had petitioned the Army for several months, successfully persuading them to release the medal after they first denied Cashion’s request. Present at the award ceremony were Freehold Borough Mayor Nolan Higgins, Muriel Smith of the Monmouth County Historical Commission, and Freeholder Lillian Burry. “This distinguished honor belongs to Mr. Cashion and his entire family,” Smith said. “They deserve to treasure the memory of their ancestor who won such great renown.” “Thanks to Muriel Smith and the Monmouth County Historical Commission for their diligent research on Fallon’s record in the Civil War and for tracking down
the location of his Medal of Honor; thanks also to the Monmouth County Board of Freeholders and the governing body and historians of both Monmouth County and the Borough of Freehold for their support in this matter,” Smith said. Born in County Galway, Ireland, in 1837, Thomas T. Fallon emigrated to the U.S. in 1859 and entered service in the U.S. Army at Freehold during the Civil War. Private Fallon served in Company K of the 37th New York Infantry, then in the 4th U.S. Artillery Regiment, and after that as a sergeant in the 35th NJ Infantry until July, 1865. He received the Medal of Honor in 1891 for his heroic actions at the Battles of Williamsburg (May 5, 1862), Fair Oaks (May 30-31, 1862) and Big Shanty (June 14-15, 1864). However, after Fallon’s death in 1916, the medal was returned to the U.S. government and eventually displayed at Dickenson College before being returned to the Defense Department and stored at Fort Knox.
Glenn Cashion of the Monmouth County Historical Commission determined through a genealogy survey that he was the great nephew of Private Fallon, and that since Fallon had no children at the time of his death, he was the surviving next-of-kin. Cashion sought to obtain Fallon’s Medal of Honor for the family’s keeping. He reached out to Rep. Smith’s office, who requested that the medal be returned to Mr. Cashion as it had already been presented to Private
Fallon and that the family simply wished to be determined the rightful owners. Through phone and mail correspondence Rep. Smith reached out several times to the Army over two months to explain the matter, and the Army agreed to return the medal to the family. The Medal of Honor was created in 1861, and is the highest award for valor in action against an enemy force which can be bestowed upon a member of the U.S. Armed Forces. There were 1522 Medals of
Honor awarded during the Civil War, and 3505 total Medal of Honor awards given, according to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. “As this very room shows, Monmouth County is rich in history and home to many who have served this nation in battle,” Smith said at the award presentation in the Nathaniel Scudder Hall at the Freehold Council Chamber, named after a doctor in Freehold who was killed while fighting for the American Revolution.

Around The Jersey Shore New Scam Threatens Jail For Missing Jury Duty
By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Residents are being warned to ignore calls threatening warrants or jail time for allegedly missing jury duty. Scammers are using sophisticated technology to pose as Ocean County Sheriff’s officers, and now as court mediators. It’s likely the same group posing as both, officials said. Hang up. “The problem is such that these scam artists have developed a relatively sophisticated set-up where our residents are fooled by the telephone numbers they are seeing and are frightened into paying the scammers,” Sheriff Michael Mastronardy said. These scammers appear to be calling from the sheriff’s department, and also provide a call back number that is convincing, but fake. They are asking for members of each household and providing accurate birth dates, adding to their seeming legitimacy. Mastronardy himself called the number, and when the scammer realized it was the sheriff he was speaking with, bragged
that they’d scammed about $250,000 from unsuspecting victims. There’s no way to confirm that number, officials said. “We will do all we can to stop this and to inform the public about this,” the sheriff said. Residents can call the county to confirm if they’ve been summoned for jury duty at 732-506-5060. No one from the county will ever call demanding money for supposedly missing jury duty. If anything, the sheriff said, that person will get another notice in the mail. Court officials said the irony of this scam is that it is rare for potential jurists not to respond to jury duty in Ocean County. Jurors with scheduling conflicts can work with the Superior Court to serve another time. “The best advice we can give people is to call the courts if you get this kind of a call,” Mastronardy said. “We don’t want our residents to be fooled and believe they will get a warrant for their arrest if they don’t pay a fine.”

Around The Jersey Shore OCC Offers Pet Therapy & Certification Course
TOMS RIVER — Ocean County College’s Department of Continuing & Professional Education, in partnership with Caregiver Canines and Compassionate Canine Training LLC, is once again offering Pet Therapy Preparation & Certification. This hands-on training course is for friendly dogs and their owners. Since 2017, 38 dogs have been trained through the program. Pet therapy visits enrich lives, encourage personal connections, and provide the dogs with an opportunity to use interactive skills that help keep them mentally and physically fit. In addition to the connection between dog and the client, the handlers often form relationships with the people they visit. Pet Therapy Preparation & Certification consists of four training classes to prepare both owner and pet to be tested, and hopefully certified, as a Therapy Dog Team on week five. The class helps touch up basic obedience cues
and coaches partners to work as a team in the therapy visit environment. (NOTE: Dogs do not need to be perfectly obedient, but should enjoy new people and have a basis in cues.) This certification allows you and your dog to volunteer with Caregiver Canines® and perform home visits in the local senior community, as well as independently visit any hospital, assisted living facility, school, or business that allows pet therapy visitations. Two classes are open for registration this spring: Saturdays, February 23 to March 16, 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Evaluations are to be scheduled for the following week: Saturday, March 23. To register, call the OCC Department of Continuing & Professional Education at 732-2550409 or visit ocean.edu/programs-and-courses/register-pay-here/.

Security:
Continued From Page 4 to now. Henry noted that these figures do not include infrastructure spending that would incorporate security measures such as “automated external doors, new internal doors, surveillance and communication technology and professional development.” While the largest increase in funding happening between the 2017-2018 school year and the 2018-2019 school year, this was actually not a result of the tragedy at Parkland. “The $44,000 increase in this year’s budget was actually planned for prior to the Parkland tragedy as we assemble that portion of the budget in November/December” of the year before, said Henry. However, the focus on security continues to trend upward. Henry said that members of the administration “meet on a regular basis with our security personnel and the local law enforcement liaisons to Southern to review our current practices, risk assessments, emergency response readiness and to also share pertinent information about current events in the community that are relevant to school security.” Prior to the start of the 2018-2019 school year, the Southern Regional School District approved the hiring of four Class III officers; three for the high school and one for the middle school. After two of the district’s security guards retired, they also approved the hiring of four part-time security guards to patrol

Central Regional Superintendent Triantafillos Parlapanides said that his district’s schools have been increasing security regularly, and thanked the Board of Education, Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato, and Chief Karin DiMichele for their support. They already had an officer in each school, and have added another at the high school, he said. These are regular officers, not Class IIIs. He wanted officers to be younger, and closer to the age of the students. Some of the improvements are to the physical building, like the new public address system and cameras. There are shades over the windows. A film has been put over all the glass to make them shatter proof. They’re not bulletproof, but they slow down an attacker. Someone would have to break the window to get inside, giving students and staff time to escape and the officer time to respond. He said he is looking into ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) training for the district. According to the company that does the training, ALICE provides a more “proactive” response to an attack than just lockdown. One thing that’s good about the online generation is that they put their whole lives on social media, he said. Fellow students know that if they see any red flags, that they should tell an authority figure. “You can never be secure enough. Unfortunately, it takes a tragedy to bring awareness,” he said.

You’ll Get A Charge Out Of This
Most hearing aid batteries are of the zinc-air type, which means they use air from outside the battery to react with the main chemical (zinc) inside the battery to generate energy. Zinc-air batteries are not activated until the tab is removed from the top of the cell, allowing air to travel inside the battery. Once the tab has been removed, the battery begins to work (but sometimes it can take a couple of minutes to do so). If the tab is replaced, the battery life will not be prolonged. Zinc-air batteries have an impressive shelf life of up to three years when stored in a cool, dry place. Do not store your batteries in your refrigerator since moisture can affect zinc-air batteries. Hearing aid batteries are categorized by the size and color-code used on the
packaging. Both size and color-code are standardized within the hearing aid industry. The five sizes and color codes are as follows: 5, Red; 10, Yellow; 13, Orange; 312, Brown; 675, Blue. The size of a battery is an indication of its stored capacity and, ultimately, its service life. The smaller the battery, the shorter its battery life. Because many consumers prefer small hearing instruments, batteries must also be small and are limited in providing the long use-period that is common to many other battery-powered products on the market. In general, batteries last from five days up to five weeks, with the smaller batteries having limited battery life. When buying hearing aid batteries, make sure they have a “freshness date.”
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!
Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Family Vacation Dear Joel, 2019 is barely underway but our family of six is deep into talking about a favorite topic – the family vacation. The vote is in and we’re split down the middle. Half of the family is craving lazy days on the beach and the other half are snow bunnies looking forward to skiing, skating and snowball fights. What shall we do? Answer : My prescription -- take two vacations and call me in the morning. How you do it is really up to your clan. Some families are comfortable going their separate ways, but if you prefer togetherness, maybe this year your family could take two shorter vacations. Everyone will get to have the time of their lives, in the season
that suits them best and you’ll have two getaways to look forward too. There are some locations like Utah that offer both the mountains and lakefront destinations within a short drive of each other, but I think two vacations is a lot more fun. The most important thing is not to stress about it; the whole reason you’re taking a vacation is to relax and enjoy each other. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

7 Supplements That Should Be Taken With Food
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. There is much confusion about when to take herbal supplements, vitamins and medications. Do you take them on an empty stomach or with food? No matter what you take, you should be drinking a full glass of water to make sure the pill doesn’t linger in your esophagus and cause irritation. When a dietary supplement, enzyme or medication states the directive to “take with food” it usually means to take while you’re eating, or a few minutes beforehand. But since you have food in your gastrointestinal tract for a little while, it would be fine to take the item right after you eat. There’s no right or wrong. Take the Following Supplements With Food Ashwagandha - This popular adaptogen should be thought of a little bit like ‘food’ because it is an herb. All herbs should be taken with a snack or a meal in order to amplify the benefits and reduce nausea. Multivitamins or Pre-natal Vitamins - There are so many constituents in these supplements, that it’s best to take them with food in order to minimize stomach upset and nausea. CoQ10 - Some people take this powerful antioxidant for cellular energy production to support their heart, pancreas, liver and brain. CoQ10 (ubiquinone) should be taken with food, or a fatty meal to speed absorption. Selenium - This is taken for thyroid inflammation, bone health, prostate support and immune support. It’s ideally taken with food. Magnesium - Some people take magnesium for depression, regularity, reduction of leg cramps and blood pressure support. Like most minerals, taking magnesium with a
snack can minimize diarrhea and stomach discomfort. Vitamin D - You can take this without regard to meals, according to the newest research, however most of the older scientific literature say to take it with food since it’s fat-soluble. Fish Oil - Some people take fish oil to help with cholesterol, triglycerides, depression and blood joint health. Taking fish oil supplements (EPA, DHA or both) with food or fatty meals is ideal because it boosts the absorption. Take the Following Medications With Food Antacids - These help with heartburn or reflux. They should always be taken with food so that it can neutralize the acid that is secreted while you’re eating. Amoxicillin - The most popular antibiotic, especially for children. I recommend it be given to toddlers and teens with food in order to reduce indigestion, nausea and vomiting. Corticosteroids - These are used for pain, allergic reactions, rashes and overactive immune systems. These should always be taken with food or milk. Some examples include prednisone, hydrocortisone and dexamethasone. Aspirin -and Ibuprofen - Ideally these are taken with food. Metformin - Taken for diabetes, this medication is best taken around meal time in order to reduce blood sugar levels after eating. Enzyme supplements or medications - Some people can’t digest food normally, so they take enzyme supplements which break down the starch, fat and protein in a meal. Take these with meals. If a medication (ie Creon) is required to restore pancreatic function, it needs to be taken with meals.

Eagle Ridge Neighbors Given Month To Build Case
By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – It’s at least a temporary victory for residents of the Fairways at Lake Ridge adult community. Attorneys for those homeowners, the developers of the Eagle Ridge Golf Course, and Lakewood Township’s Planning Board made their cases before Superior Court Assignment Judge Marlene Lynch
Ford on a recent afternoon, mere hours before the application for the development of the golf course was to be heard before the planning board. Ford granted an interim restraint for 30 days, allowing the board to reschedule the development hearing for a March meeting. An application to build more than 1,000
housing units on the golf course was to be presented to the board by Parke at Lakewood, an affiliate of GDMS Holdings LLC. They are represented by Paul H. Schneider of Giordano, Halleran & Ciesla in Red Bank. Lakewood Planning Board attorney John J. Jackson had argued against the restraint, saying no one knows how the
board would move forward on the application. It is “improper for the court to step in” before the board has even heard the application or sworn testimony. The homeowners’ association is represented by Michele Donato, who is away for the month of February. In her stead for the court appearance was attorney Ronald L. Lueddeke. “There is a substantial impact on the plaintiffs if they are not permitted to participate in a meaningful way tonight,” Ford said. “…I’m inclined at this point to restrain the hearing for a shortened period of time so it’s not an impact upon the applicant, but secondly to allow the homeowners to, who obviously have an interest in this, to have the opportunity to have a meaningful record developed to affirm their position.” Historic Courtroom 1 at the county justice complex was not packed as anticipated. Less than 20 members of the public attended, most from the Fairways community. The homeowners had filed suit against GDMS Holdings, Lakewood Township and its planning board over the proposed development. In attendance was “the mouth” as one homeowner called him, Frederick Robison and his wife, Patricia, Fairways residents who have been vocal against the Parke at Lakewood. They were viciously attacked in their home back in August and spent months in the hospital and rehabilitation. “Rob,” as he is known, erupted into frequent coughs and spoke slowly and deliberately. Patricia seemed upbeat but said she tires easily. “I think Judge Ford always considers both sides carefully and thoroughly, tends to argue with the attorneys for both sides. I think that month adjournment will provide us the opportunity to flesh out the arguments related to the merits of the entire case,” Rob Robison said. Despite the attack, they plan to continue their fight. “The reality is, the community deserves support. The community deserves to have an individual with my background and experience,” said Rob Robison, who was a city manager and municipal planner.

Inside The Law The Bulk Sales Act As It Applies To The Sale Of Real Estate
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Anyone selling real estate in New Jersey needs to be aware of the terms of the Bulk Sales Act. The purpose behind the Bulk Sales Act is to protect a purchaser from any taxes owed by the seller to the State of New Jersey. The failure to follow the Bulk Sales procedures could result in the State assessing any tax liability of the seller against the purchaser. For the purposes of the Bulk Sale Act, the only real estate that is exempt from the Bulk Sales filing requirement is a simple dwelling house, which is a one or two family residential building, or condominium, if the seller is an individual, estate or trust. Almost all other real estate transactions are required to file pursuant to the Bulk Sales Act. The filing procedure for the Bulk Sales Act is relatively straightforward. At least 10 business days prior to the closing of title, the purchaser or their attorney must file a form with the State referred to as a C-9600 Bulk Sales Notice. The form contains information about the transaction including the seller’s name and tax ID number as well as the purchaser’s name and tax ID number. The terms of the sale must be disclosed by way of a copy of the real estate contract attached to the form. Once the State receives that form, it
will then review its Marc S. Galella Esq. records to determine whether the seller owes any taxes to the State, including any taxes that may result from the specific sale. The State will then send what is referred to as a Bulk Sales escrow letter to the buyer’s attorney. The Bulk Sales escrow letter will direct how much money must be escrowed from the seller at closing pending a determination by the State as to the actual taxes owed. The next step is for the seller or their accountant to submit to the State a form known as a TTD (Transfer Tax Declaration) form in which the seller discloses the taxes that may be due to the State as a result of the transaction. In some cases the Bulk Sales notice and the TTD form can be submitted simultaneously so that the State can make a determination as to amount of taxes owed. Once the State determines the taxes owed, it will send a second letter directing the buyer’s attorney to release a specific amount of money from the escrow held at closing. Upon the State receives that money it will then send a third letter to the buyer’s attorney authorizing the release of the remaining escrow to the seller.

Understanding Trigger Finger
H
By: Jessica Abraham, OT, CHT
as one of your fingers ever become stuck in a bent position, becoming painful and difficult to straighten after holding your cup of coffee? Or, does your finger click when you are holding a knife and fork. If so, then you may be experiencing trigger finger. Stenosing tenosynovitis, commonly known as trigger finger, is a condition where the lining of the flexor tendon becomes thick or swollen. The increased thickness and swelling compresses the tendon preventing it from gliding smoothly. This can cause the tendon to click or get stuck and lock. Prolonged irritation through repetitive use of the hand may cause scarring and the formation of nodules. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2% to 3% of the population will experience trigger finger in their lifetime, but increases to 10% in the diabetic population. Women are six times more likely than men to develop trigger finger and the average age of onset is 50 or older. Evidence suggests that the ring finger is the most commonly affected finger followed by the thumb, but all of the digits can be affected. Let’s review the basic anatomy of trigger finger. Each finger has tendons that run on the palm side of the finger that are responsible for flexing or bending the finger. These tendons are surrounded by a protective sheath and run through a system of pulleys that help to keep the tendon in place. In most cases, the most common location for trigger finger is at the base of the finger on the palm side of the hand at the large knuckle called the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP). This is the area of the A1 pulley and it is prone to irritation due to the high levels of force applied during gripping. You can think of the A1 pulley as the eye of a sewing
needle and the flexor tendon in its sheath as a piece of thread. When the tendon sheath becomes swollen and irritated it would be like trying to thread twine through the sewing needle; it would become stuck. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS - Stiffness in your finger - Tenderness and/or a nodule at the base of the finger - Locking of your finger in a bent position and then it will pop straight or need to be straightened using your other hand. - Popping or clicking when you move your finger CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS The exact cause of trigger finger is not known. There are several factors that could contribute to trigger finger including some of the following. - Repetitive use of the hand. - Prolonged use of hand held tools. - Local trauma to the hand/finger. - Degenerative forces and stress to the hand. Research has shown that individuals with diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and DeQuervain’s tendonitis are at higher risk for developing trigger finger. TREATMENT OPTIONS There are several treatment options for trigger finger ranging from conservative techniques, including occupational or physical therapy, to surgical intervention. Some of the treatment options include: - Splinting the involved finger to help decrease friction at the A1 pulley and decrease inflammation. The finger splint is typically worn during times of activity during the day and can be used at night time as well. An occupational therapist would be able to fabricate a custom trigger finger splint. - Activity modification, including rest, to reduce
irritation to the involved finger while maintaining the ability to participate in your daily activities. - Corticosteroid injection. - Surgical release of the trigger finger. Surgery is typically indicated when conservative treatments are unsuccessful and has proven to alleviate trigger finger symptoms. Trigger Finger can have a significant impact on the use of your hand and your daily routine. Recognizing and addressing symptoms early is a key factor in treating trigger finger. At All Care Physical Therapy, our Hand Therapist specializes in the treatment of trigger finger and other hand disorders. Contact your physician if you are experiencing these symptoms and ask if an Occupational Therapist at All Care can help.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE A Reason To Smile When was the last time you visited a dentist? If you are like most adults, the last time you went to the dentist was when that recurring toothache became so unbearable you had no choice but to go in for a visit. Millions of Americans have fear or anxiety when it comes to visiting the dentist, and this is a fact that the dentists at Lakehurst Dental, Dr. Brian Klohn and Associates, keep in mind when treating their patients. At Lakehurst Dental, located in Lakehurst at 19 Union Ave., care is personalized and comfortable, giving even the most petrified patients a reason to smile. In his 26 years of dental experience, Dr. Klohn has always strived to bring patients the best dental care and the latest procedures and technology. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in the top 10 of his class in 1991, after which he began his residency at Monmouth Medical Center. In 1992, he began working for Dr. Kantor at the current downtown Lakehurst lo-
Dr. Brian Klohn cation, becoming a partner in 1996 and then sole proprietor in 1999 when Dr. Kantor retired. Dr. Klohn has remodeled the entire building, and the result is an office with a clean and relaxing ambiance. As you sit in the waiting room, you might watch the flat screen TV or take a gander through a binder that is filled with information on oral health and dental procedures. Despite the coziness and charm of the waiting room, however, you won’t find yourself there for too long. A s D r. K l o h n says, “ We don’t over book, so you’re not waiting
The atmosphere at Lakehurst Dental is relaxed and cozy.
Lakehurst Dental, located at 19 Union Ave, brings comfort to the dental experience.
in the waiting room because that automatically raises your anxiety level.” At Lakehurst Dental, you’ll find a unique breed of doctor that perhaps you have yet to encounter; dentists who are genuinely sympathetic and considerate of the fact that you’re not exactly thrilled about your impending root canal. It is this understanding of patient concerns and a valiant effort to, as their Web site, lakehurstdentist.com says, “bring comfort to your dental experience” that sets Lakehurst Dental apart from its competitors. Unlike some dental clinics, where patients might idle a preposterously long time in the waiting room, see a dif ferent doctor on each visit and feel rushed during the appointment, Lakehurst Dental is a private practice that gives patients a more personal experience. Patients see the same doctor on each visit, a routine that facilitates a trusting doctor/patient relationship and helps to alleviate any nervousness. Patients can rest assured that their dentist is familiar with their dental history, because the same dentist has been treating them all along. As a full-ser vice dental facility, Lakehurst Dental takes their commitment to their patients a step further by offering a multitude of services and minimizing the chance of sending patients out for certain procedures. All your dental needs can be met at Lakehurst Dental, in a calm atmosphere, with a familiar dentist with whom you are comfortable. Dr. Klohn explains that, “We block enough time out for our patients so we can explain what they need and really make sure they understand what they’re getting and what they’re paying for and why.” Dr. Klohn wants his patients to be relaxed, educated and healthy. Education is a priority, not just for patients at Lakehurst Dental, but also
for himself. Dr. Klohn is a member of the Advanced Dental Seminar Team through which they participate in ongoing education to stay up to date on the latest technologies in the dental industry. He also lectures on dentistry at Monmouth Medical Center. Dr. Klohn’s commitment to education has enabled him to keep current with advancements in the field and offer his patients the best that the science of dentistry has to offer. Lakehurst Dental offers dental implant restorations, dentures, porcelain veneers, cosmetic dentistry, root canal therapy and oral surgery. They practice stringent infection control procedures and their sterilization procedures meet CDC guidelines. Lakehurst Dent al also makes dental care more affordable by accepting credit cards, offering a no-interest payment plan and participating with the Delta Dental Premier Plan of NJ. Although new techniques and procedures are always being introduced, the age-old basics still apply when it comes to taking care of those pearly whites. You should brush at least twice a day and floss daily. And whether you’re 3 or 103, it’s paramount that you visit Dr. Klohn at least once every six months to avoid problems caused by neglect. You might think that going to the dentist is a tedious and agonizing chore, but after an appointment with Dr. Klohn, your opinion might change. To experience the personalized approach and the emphasis on comfort that Lakehurst Dental provides, you can call the office at 732-657-7400 to schedule an appointment. The office is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Beware, however, that an appointment at Lakehurst Dental might cause some side-effects - like a smile, and a newfound enjoyment in a visit to the dentist!

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of FEB 16 - FEB 22 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fleeting emotions don’t matter in the greater scheme of things. Loved ones might seem capricious off and on during the week to come. Your ability to communicate, however, will highlight your essential harmony. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Playing hard to get isn’t the only way to win someone’s heart. Change tactics if tried and true methods simply quit working in the week ahead. Acting like a friend instead of a lover just might do the trick. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Logic and love make strange bedfellows. You may find it easy to be straightforward about facts and figures in the upcoming week but may find it more difficult to express your deepest emotions. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cupid’s arrows usually hit the target, but your archery skills may not be as skilled. You may aim for something that is unrealistic in the week ahead. Trusted advisors can give you the benefit of their objectivity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your friendliness will open doors for you in the week ahead, whether you are with a special companion or in a crowd. Simple mathematics proves that you can’t operate in the red and must be sure to get in the black. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your good intentions must be obvious. That will make the difference when someone must decide whether to take you seriously this week. You can entertain others with unusual tidbits of interesting information
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you pick a rose you must respect the thorns. In the week to come your heart might yearn for romance but you are frequently reminded that love is often accompanied by duty. Don’t read too much into a flirtation. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may turn into a lean, mean money making machine as this week unfolds. However, any tendency toward meanness is softened by a spirit of sympathy and cooperation whether you are at work or at play. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Play fair on the playing field of life. Although making some money or winning is the true goal, it doesn’t hurt to be a good sport. As this week unfolds you may learn something important from friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you are busy dreaming of success you can’t be busy doing your job. If you can stick to a commitment you can achieve notice in the workplace. A partner or family member might distract you in the week ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Embrace every opportunity to make new friends in the upcoming week. You can meet people who will enrich your life and wouldn’t dream of stepping on your toes. Money will grow if you don’t spend it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Cut throat business tactics aren’t for you. You will win in the week ahead by using gentle persuasion. Someone whose talents complement yours will help you find a way to have your cake and eat it, too.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Enjoy A Fresh Vegetable Salad In The Middle Of Winter
By Wolfgang Puck
If you walk through the produce section of any good-sized supermarket almost anywhere today, you may find it hard to figure out what time of year it is. Modern shipping methods, mass-scale cold storage techniques, and greenhouse agriculture all make it possible to find many different varieties of seemingly fresh vegetables and fruits almost year-round. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you should consume anything at any time of year. To enjoy most growing things at their finest, it makes sense to eat produce grown locally and at their peak of season. So what can and should you cook? You could start by selecting items that actually, naturally taste good right now. Do a quick bit of searching online and you’ll find endless hits offering lists of vegetables and fruits in season during winter: Some include members of the cabbage family, including Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli and kale; hardshelled winter squashes; and a wide variety of citrus fruits. Another approach is to pick up fresh produce that doesn’t rely as much on the seasons to make it to market in good quality. Potatoes and sweet potatoes, for example, store so well that they’re really year-round vegetables. Fresh cultivated mushrooms are also available in markets all year, and I’d defy anyone to find a difference in the way they taste from one time of year to another. And green beans, though a summer crop, seem to me to make it to market and taste good whenever you find them. With that last point in mind, I’d like to share one of my favorite vegetable salad combinations that doesn’t rely on the time of year to deliver the best, brightest, freshest flavor: my green bean and mushroom salad. Look for the smallest green beans you can find, with a good, bright green color. If only larger ones are available, be sure to trim and string them well and cut them into bite-size lengths of 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm). I always blanch them, first boiling them and then immediately plunging them into ice water, to preserve their bright, fresh color and flavor. As for the mushrooms, select those that look firm and white. Once you cut them up, as described in the recipe, toss them with some lemon juice to preserve their color; mushrooms oxidize quickly. When the vegetables have been prepped, all that’s left to do is toss them with a dressing of your choice. Here, I like to use one thickened in a blender with a couple of tablespoons of toasted walnuts, which add a rich, earthy flavor and texture to a robust yet refined salad that perfectly bridges winter and spring.
GREEN BEAN AND MUSHROOM SALAD WITH TOASTED WALNUT DRESSING Serves 6 1 pound (500 g) small green beans 1 pound (500 g) large, white cultivated mushrooms Juice of 1 lemon 2 tablespoons walnuts shelled walnuts 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) light vegetable oil such as almond oil 1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon leaves or chives Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C). Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Remove both ends of each green bean, snapping them towards the seams and pulling to remove any strings. Fill a mixing bowl with ice cubes and water and place it near the sink. When the water is boiling, add the green beans. Cook until they are al dente, tender but still slightly crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain them in the sink and immediately plunge the green beans into the ice water until chilled. Drain well on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. With a damp paper towel, wipe the mushrooms clean. Use a small, sharp knife to trim off their stem ends. Cut the mushrooms into slices the width of the green beans; then, stack the slices and cut into strips about the size of the green beans. Put the mushrooms in a mixing bowl and toss gently with the lemon juice until coated to prevent discoloration. Spread the walnuts in a small pan lined with foil or parchment paper. Toast them in the oven until they deepen slightly in color and smell aromatic, checking to make sure they don’t burn, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Put the walnuts in a blender or food processor with the mustard, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Pulse until the walnuts are finely chopped; then, with the machine running, drizzle in the oil until a smooth, creamy dressing forms. Put the green beans and mushrooms in a mixing bowl. Add enough of the dressing to coat them evenly, tossing the vegetables thoroughly but gently; refrigerate any remaining dressing in a covered container for another use. To serve, arrange the green bean and mushroom mixture on a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with fresh tarragon or chives, and serve immediately.
