–Photo by Bob Vosseller Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari speaks with students of the newly opened Performing Arts Academy located within Ocean County College. By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – They arrived by bus and car and entered with excitement for their first day of class in the brand new Ocean Cou nt y Vocational Technical School Pe r for m i ng Arts Academy building. It wasn’t just the stu-
dents that were excited about the state-of-theart facility but administrators, staff, OCVTS Board of Education members and elected officials. The building is on the campus of Ocean County College in Toms River. It provides a showcase for those seeking
careers in several areas of the performing arts. It also provides college credits and a modern, safe environment that Freeholder Director Joseph Vicari proudly said equals anything available in the northern part of the state. “I’ve been in education as a teacher, princi-
pal and superintendent for 40 years and this is remarkable. It is state of the art and students will feel inspired to be attending class here,” Vicari said. Vicari couldn’t wait for the students to arrive or staff and administrators to provide (OCVTS - See Page 4)
Schools Demand Reasons For Aid Cuts
By Chris Lundy BRICK – A coalition of school districts are asking the state to explain why they are getting less aid. The districts are impacted by S-2, which changed how much “adjustment aid” schools receive from the state. Districts that were considered more wealthy, with declining enroll-
ment, received less aid. Districts have said that they are the victim of funding formulas that are outdated or full of mistakes. Individual districts and reporters have attempted to get an explanation of how this funding was doled out. The state said that the information was “proprietary” and not open to the public.

DISCOUNTS OFFERED
Several local boards of education passed resolutions stating they’ll join in the OPRA (Open Public Records Act) request. Part of Brick’s resolution reads “the State arbitrarily determines how much State Aid to allocate to each school district, without regard to district need or ability to pay…and such dispa-
rate treatment is neither “equal” nor “equitable” and is without a rational basis; and whe rea s, t he St at e should be transparent in how it calculates and allocates State Aid to each school district.” In the event the request is denied, the board may join in litigation against the “State of New Jersey, Department of Educa-
tion and the Commissioner of Education to obtain data and records from the State of New Jersey and its various Departments as to how the State calculates and allocates State Aid to each school district.” Districts have already jointly recruited the Weiner Law Group to represent them in this (School - See Page 10)

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The new members of the governing body were sworn in, and said that they already started working on town issues. At the township’s re-organization meeting, the politicians who won the November election were sworn in: Mayor Maurice Hill and Councilmen Kevin Geoghegan, Joshua Kopp, and Matthew Lotano. They thanked their supporters, family, and friends for believing in them. They also said that their work in helping the community started before they were sworn in. As Kopp said, they spent the last eight months listening to people and the needs of Toms River. Lotano described how they’ve been invited to sit in on some meetings to get more information about the issues that Toms River is facing. And they are facing a lot, Hill said in his first public address as mayor. The residents are feeling the impact of a change in state funding that is cutting more than $90 million in aid to the school district, he said. (Future - See Page 8)
Politician Faced 3 Different Protests
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER - New Jersey Senate President Stephen Sweeney got a loud reception when he arrived at The Grove Restaurant in the Howard Johnson’s motel on the morning of January 7. It was not, however, the kind of reception he may have appreciated. Sweeney came to the township as the scheduled guest of the Ocean County Mayors Association. Three groups of protesters came out to voice their frustration over the issues of school funding cuts, a vaccinations bill and the continuation of a bear hunt in the state. Sweeney’s appearance was noted on the association’s website. The association invites all 33 municipalities in Ocean County and regularly meets at The Grove restaurant on 955 Hooper Ave. Protestors began lining up in front of the (Protests - See Page 10)

OCVTS:
Continued From Page 1 a tour. He decided to explore the hallways, classrooms, bathrooms, elevator and even furnace room to get a first look at the new building. The facility’s creation was sparked by the need to relocate from Hanger 1 at Joint Base Lakehurst, which due to security reasons made the civilian school facility difficult to access. The project has a 20-year bond for $27 million. Vicari said that 40% of the cost of the new facility was provided by the state while the county’s portion was $8 million. Another $8 million was provided by the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation. “It was a wonderful partnership between Ocean County College as we had the land here, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders and many more partnerships,” Vicari said. “Everything from the dressing rooms, the chemistry labs to the white boards used in the classrooms are all modern. The acoustics of the recording studios are unbelievable,” Vicari said. He noted that the design also ensured security and fire safety standards. According to OCVTS Superintendent Karen Homiek, who served as principal of the academy for 14 years prior to becoming superintendent, 279 students currently attend classes in the facility in a 9-12th grade program. The students are from various
communities across Ocean County and must go through an application, testing and audition process. “The building is 57,000 square feet and three stories high. We are very excited about its opening today. Former OCVTS Superintendent William Hoey helped set this into motion. He got the wheels in motion for this and we finished up. Our staff is totally dedicated and they were anxious to start working here today,” Homiek said. Hoey passed away last year. Homiek said the academy, which is one of three full-time academies initiated by the OCVTS District, is a fairly young program which started in September 2001 at the Hangar 1 site. “Since that time, we have grown by leaps and bounds, both academically and culturally, raising the level of expectations and challenging our students to a high degree of success. Our administration and instructors nurture an intimate setting which provides opportunities to develop these exceptional relationships. Families are encouraged to participate and become an integral part of the decision-making processes on topics affecting their children’s education. Mutual respect, fairness and cooperation pervade all aspects of our school,” Homiek said. “In the past 15 years the Performing Arts Academy has been nominated and recognized numerous times for our students’ and instructors’ talents, professionalism and performances by prestigious groups such as: Montclair State University (Theatre Night
Awards), Ocean Arts (organization that celebrates high school theatre), Paper Mill Playhouse (Rising Stars) and Two River Theatre (Metro Scholar program),” she said. “In August 2012, we were acknowledged by New Jersey Monthly Magazine as a top vocational high school. The following September we received a plaque from Inside New Jersey for being a ‘NJ Top Performing High School.’ In addition, Jerseycan recognized us as “Top 10 School,” Homiek said. OCVTS Board President Nina Anuario said the new building opened earlier than anticipated. “We were expecting the building to be finished in May and that classes would start in September. This facility can also be used for other classes at night so it serves two purposes.” Anuario credited the hard work of OCVTS Director of Facilities Edward Crawford for making the day’s opening a reality. Crawford was busy looking over the building during the morning. Homiek said while most high school programs require a 120-credit requirement to graduate, “we have a minimum 162 credits.” “Students will save on the cost of 15 to 30 college credits which adds up,” Vicari added. “This is STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) and it provides an education that is competitive with other schools. When I was living in Jersey City, they didn’t have schools like this.” Nineteen buses transport students from around the 33 municipalities of Ocean County to the facility. Vicari noted that the
new operation did not require any additional cost in so far as its location at the college. “These students are excited to be here. This is a landmark day for OCVTS,” Academy Principal Christine Santasieri said. “We have a staff of 35 to 40 people and 279 students. It has been a long time coming but it received a lot of dedication and hard work went into making this all happen.” Vicari said the programs of the new facility provides an equal opportunity for students and recognizes them as an individual. Juniors Ethan Wackes of Toms River South High School and Steve Riccobono of Toms River North were getting used to their new surroundings. Both are seeking careers in audio engineering. “This is very cool,” Wackes said looking around the hallway and at the classrooms. “The four-year programs here include audio engineering, vocals, dance and acting.” “I’m interested in going into music production,” Riccobono said. “I’d like to go into studio recording,” Wackes said. School Counselor Sandy Stout was excited about starting her first day at the facility not only for its ultra-modern look but it also meant a shorter commute for the Toms River resident. “The students are so excited today and they are in awe of this building.” Vicari pondered the future of other county education projects noting that the county owns land behind the college campus. “We have five sites we could build on and four more buildings that could be built.

KNEE PAIN? Grinding, popping, difficulty walking or going up and down the stairs, bone-on-bone pain… Does any of this sound familiar?
There’s no one single answer to all knee pain, especially when every person is different. The truth is, it is impossible to know what kind of treatment would be effective until your case is examined.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Other Means Of Transportation
Dear Joel, It has become painfully obvious that my 89-year-old widowed father should not be driving. Although he has not had an accident, he is exhibiting all the signs of someone who should not be behind the wheel, and my siblings and I feel it is just a matter of time. We have broached the subject individually and as a group on more than one occasion, but he immediately becomes defensive and angry, and the conversation ends. We are worried not only for his safety, but for the safety of others. Our goal is to have Dad voluntarily surrender his license, rather than have it taken away. Do you have any suggestions on how to handle this very delicate situation? Answer: Discussions about driving issues can be difficult and emotional and must be handled with sensitivity and thoughtfulness. It’s not a one-time conversation and should be had with someone who your father trusts, perhaps the family doctor or a
friend who has recently made the decision. Like most of us, driving represents freedom and independence and your father may fear that he will lose both once he surrenders his license. Showing him the many transportation options that are now available may allay some of those feelings. As a matter of fact, he may feel freer without the responsibility and expense of owning and driving a car. Most important is his safety. Expressing concern for him (“I’m concerned for your safety while driving”) rather than pointing out his shortcomings (‘You’re not a safe driver”) may go a long way toward his acceptance of the situation. “Thanks for writing” Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

They are still petitioning the federal government to bring a Veterans Administration clinic to an area off Hooper Avenue. The town will continue to partner with the county in preserving open space, he said. A recent purchase of a horse farm will lead to a private-public partnership that would create an equestrian center. Hill also promised some new policies, such as a Meet the Mayor, customer service center on the township’s website, an Employee of the Quarter, and spreading good news about the township via social media.
It had been a particularly difficult election, and several of the elected officials made mention of the challenges. There was a three-way competition just for the primary, before Hill and company faced off against Democrats in November. Hill narrowly won over Jonathan Petro, with a margin of less than 300 votes. Hill had been a councilman for 12 years when he decided to run for mayor. He led the Republican slate that included Lotano, a principal in the commercial Lotano Development Corporation; Kopp, a veteran and director of Kopp Electric Company; and former Councilman Geoghegan, a retired Toms River Police Officer and member of EMS and fire departments. In related news, Councilwoman Maria Maruca was chosen as council president for the year, and Geoghegan was chosen to be vice president.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL When A Politician Switches Sides There is a certain political public relations g roup t h at h a s b e e n email i ng me con sistently for a few years. The contents of their emails have been the same ever si nce Jeff Van Drew got elected into off ice as the 2 nd District member of the U.S. Assembly. Every week, they ripped on Van Drew. They called him weak. They questioned his votes. They brought up how low his war chest is, and how he didn’t have a lot of funds for re-election. T hat is, u nt il ver y recently. Van Drew switched from Democrat to Republican and suddenly t h is publ ic relat ion s group has changed its tune. According to them, Van Drew is no longer weak. He no longer has questionable votes. His campaign is strong.
Now, the emails are attacking his Democrat challengers. I’m just using this as an example. Republicans attack Democrats no matter who they are, and Democrats attack Republicans no matter who they are. It’s all part of the game. The sad thing is that it’s just a game to them. While regular folks are wo r r i e d a b o u t t h e i r bank account, the only numbers Democrat and Republican organizations care about is how ma ny of t hem a re i n office.

Letters To The Editor 2020: A Year for Positive Action The other day I had the pleasure of listening to John Lennon’s song “Imagine” on the radio. As 2019 rapidly comes to an end, Lennon’s song made me think about the issues that need to be addressed without delay in the coming new year. So here is a list of ten things, not necessarily in order of importance, for all of us to think about. 1. Racism/Discrimination - All lives matter. Tolerance and understanding must be the rule. Everyone must be guaranteed the right to live in peace regardless of race, religion, or political beliefs. 2. Gun Violence - The slaughter of innocent lives must come to an end. Our government must do whatever it takes to prevent gun violence in schools, shopping malls, etc. 3. Drugs - The poison that is destroying the youth of America. Like a cancer that is eroding the very fabric of our society, illegal drug use must be eliminated. 4. Medical - End all forms of cancer and life threatening diseases. Provide more care for our senior citizens. If you think this is unrealistic or unattainable, just think of someone that has lost a loved one. I’m sure they will not agree. 5. Education - The youth of America is our future. Greater resources must be provided in order to provide our children with the means to succeed. 6. Economic Opportunity - Equal pay for equal work. End economic discrimination against women, persons of color, and religion. 7. Family Unit - Restore the importance of family values, and the need for parents to work together with children towards a common goal. 8. Veterans - Honor those that have bravely served our country. Provide our veterans with the necessary medical care they rightfully deserve. 9.Homeless/Poverty - A
Letters To The Editor national disgrace. Enough said. 10. Environment - There will be no future unless we save the planet now. Our grandchildren will suffer the consequences of our lack of commitment if we do nothing. Please accept my apologies if I have inadvertently forgotten a worthy cause. I can only hope that 2020 is a year of affirmative action. And never forget, we live in the greatest country on Earth. Lou DeCaro Barnegat
Hate Leads to Hyperbole and Hypocrisy It amazes me how seemingly intelligent people can be so blinded by hate they no longer allow truth and reason to guide their understanding of the times we live in. I am speaking specifically of a recent letter to the editor of this fine publication. After reading the letter titled “The Unquestioning Cult Of Trump” (Dec. 21, 2019), I could not let the writer’s misinformation go unchallenged. The letter opens with a definition of what a cult is which I have no quarrel with, then lists several examples of some of the most despicable examples of evil leaders such as Hitler, Stalin and Mao just to name a few. The writer goes on to add President Trump to the list along with those who support him. Typical of those who I suggest suffer from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). Under the leadership of those three dictators millions of innocent lives were lost due to their cruel policies. That is a very sad fact that should never be forgotten. President Trump has been in office for 3 years and in that time has not put forth any decree, law or executive order to perpetuate the mass murder of innocents. Contrary to what the writer would
have you believe, President Trump has tried, and still is trying, to stop the only example of mass killing of innocents in the United States of America namely, abortion. The fact is his detractors are pushing for not just abortion of babies in the womb but also the killing of those already born as in the state of New York and attempted in Virginia*. The day after Trump’s inauguration thousands of demonstrators across the land gleefully proclaimed their support for the “Cult of Abortion.” Unfortunately the writer left that group off his list. The writer states President Trump is an operative of Putin, his so-called mentor, when we all know through the Mueller report that is false. Space here does not allow elaboration in more detail. The writer claims Trump is weakening NATO when the truth is NATO is stronger now than ever before. Trump challenged the member nations to do what they promised and fully meet their funding obligations. NATO has more financial resources now than at any other time. That is strength not weakness. He also goes on to say Trump is “faking” a new conspiracy that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 election, when the truth is they both did as well as our own FBI, DOJ, and CIA. That inconvenient truth is just now coming to light. On the domestic side the writer claims Trump killed the Affordable Care Act without replacement. That is incorrect. The Affordable Care Act is being torn apart by the courts that are now able to rule on its constitutionality. The courts find it wanting. It was the Obama “cult” that rammed that horrible legislation down our throats without one bipartisan vote to support it. The writer claims Trump is a dictator but fails to mention that President Obama used his phone and pen to do what our elected represen-
tatives would not do. That sounds like a dictator to me but the writer has no issue with it. After proclaiming at least 23 times he did not have the constitutional authority to prevent the deportation of so called “dreamers,” Obama went ahead anyway and declared they could not be deported and thus we have DACA. While I sympathize with those who were brought here illegally as children, the answer is not to throw away our Constitution to protect them but to have bipartisan legislation in place to eliminate the problem just like Obama promised but failed to do when he had the ability to do so in his first two years. The writer proclaims Trump performed a “symbolic lynching” on Obama by pulling out of the Paris Accords and Iran Nuclear deal. It is despicable for him to use such a loaded phrase to describe what Trump did in the interest of the rule of law and fairness to our Constitution. Those “deals” should have been brought before the U.S. Senate for ratification since we are in fact a government of the people not the few appointed individuals acting on behalf of a leader who thinks he knows better than the rest of us. The writer made other dubious points in his diatribe but I do not think it worthy to go on. I am saddened by the sentiment of his letter and the fact there are others who parrot the same rot and call it fact. I now understand full well why the term “fake news” is part of our lexicon in these conf licted days. In closing I will leave us with the wisdom of the late Rodney King when he said, “Can’t we all just get along?” Now is the time to stop the hate, hyperbole and hypocrisy.

Protests:
Continued From Page 1 restaurant/hotel around 7:30 a.m. with signs, bull horns and plenty of loud voices to chant their discontent about a state bill that would remove religious exemptions for vaccinations for school children. Others called for restoration of school funds cut by the S-2 state school funding formula which parent groups and officials have criticized for not being transparent. The “Sweeney Showdown” as it was billed on a Facebook event was designed to “show him that we are not going away! We will not consent!” The event was led by the group New Jersey for Medical Freedom. The vaccinations bill, S-2173/A-3818, was passed by the state Assembly last month but failed in the Senate a week after the protest. Among the vaccine bill protesters were protesters who are opposing state aid cuts to local schools. The cuts to so-called adjustment aid were put in place by S-2, the law promoted by Sweeney going back to 2017. Ocean County school districts in Toms River, Brick, Jackson, and Lacey school and Monmouth County’s Freehold Regional High School district were each hit hard with state aid cuts as a result of the passage of S-2 in 2018. Sweeney previously insisted the school districts that are losing adjustment aid - nearly 200 districts statewide - are not paying their fair share of property taxes to support their schools. The senate president maintains that his assertion is based in part on wealth calculations made by the state Department of Education through a formula that the state has so far refused to release to anyone, despite multiple Open Public Records Act requests from members of the public, the media and school districts. Toms River resident Daniel Nemcek was among the 50 or so protestors who came out during the morning protest. For him it wasn’t just about the idea of mandatory vaccines but “it is part of the constitution in the United States. It’s like owning guns.
School:
Continued From Page 1 matter. James Edwards, the business administrator for the Brick district, said that they have asked for this information before and were turned down. A resident in the audience at a recent Board of Education meeting asked if Trenton would answer their request. Edwards said they “should” provide the information but he is expecting resistance. Hopefully, there is power in numbers and with dozens of other districts, Trenton might not be able to turn it down, he said. Brick has already seen cuts, such as the closing of the Herbertsville Elementary School to turn it into a grant-funded preschool program. In Toms River schools (which include South Toms River, Beachwood and Pine Beach),
If you don’t want to own guns don’t buy one but you can’t tell someone they can’t own them.” “For them to remove the religious exemption is wrong and some people do get sick from vaccinations. I am 50/50 on whether they are beneficial. I’ve had the mumps, rubella and other diseases. It is not all black and white there are shades of gray between,” Nemcek said. Rose Kaiser and Rachel Remelgado were two of the many Toms River parents who came out with signs and strong voices regarding their issue of school funding restoration. “My daughter is a cheerleader and a member of a club and due to these cuts both of these programs will be cut,” Kaiser said. “Because of S-2 he (Sweeney) has put our district in an unthinkable position and as a parent I am outraged. They are stealing from our kids and to remove sports and extracurricular programs that are needed for kids so that they can be more well rounded students and be more competitive in college,” Remelgado said. Remelgado also called for the state to be more transparent as to how the S-2 funding formula was arrived at. “They are taking away our rights. I am really hoping a more logical approach will be seen. Pencils have erasers because everyone makes mistakes. I hope he sees that a mistake has been made here.” “He can fix this,” Kaiser added. Another Toms River resident, Susan Kearney came out with friends and members of the Animal League of New Jersey to greet Sweeney with their “Save NJ Bears. com” signs calling for the end of a bear hunt in the state. “He is big in the hunting caucus and he blocks a lot of animal bills,” Kaiser said. The two groups appeared to take turns on chants of “Just Vote No” concerning the vaccination legislation and “Fund Our Schools” regarding the S-2 formula. Sweeney appeared to have entered the restaurant from the back avoiding the protestors who were in front of the parking lot of the entrance.
S-2 will cut more than $90 million in state aid over the next six years to Toms River, including $2.8 million in the 2019-2020 budget. Cuts have already started. The 2019-2020 school district budget includes cuts of 77 positions. Toms River school district’s business administrator William Doering said that their Board of Education will be passing a similar resolution as Brick. Additionally, Freehold Regional will also be part of this OPRA request, said Rebecca Policastro, communications and district project coordinator. Freehold’s aid is dropping from $51 million in 2017 to $21 million at the end of the several-year cycle. According to the district, this will impact students in severe ways: class sizes, which are already high, will increase; maintenance and repairs will be put off; and extracurricular activities and transportation will be impacted.

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Health Department is reminding everyone that it’s not too late to get your flu vaccine. With flu activity on the rise, officials expect higher levels than normal at this point in the flu season. “The Ocean County Health Department can’t stress enough how important getting a flu shot can be to you and your family, friends, school mates and co-workers. Remember, the flu vaccine not only protects you from getting ill, but it can also protect all the people you come in contact with,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “The more people vaccinated means the fewer people getting sick and spreading the bug.” According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), there have been at least 6.4 million flu illnesses and 2,900 deaths during the current flu season. Health care providers are urged to explain to patients that the flu vaccine does save lives and is the best protection against getting the flu and its potentially
serious complications. “While it’s imperative for individuals with chronic diseases, children, pregnant women, and older adults to get vaccinated, others shouldn’t hope to “sneak by” this flu season without getting sick,” said Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator. “Don’t risk it – protect yourself and others by getting the vaccine as soon as possible.” Flu viruses are spread through respiratory droplets that are expelled when someone who is sick coughs, sneezes or talks. Another form of transmission may happen when someone touches a contaminated surface or object. “Simple hand washing is extremely effective when it comes to reducing the spread of the influenza virus. Wash your hands with soap and water or hand sanitizer as often as possible,” Regenye added. Symptoms of flu usually last only a few days and may include: fever, cough, sore throat, headaches, chills, muscle aches and fatigue. If you do get sick you should stay home until your better.

Fulfill “Shines Light on Hunger” with LED Light Bulbs Campaign
By Kimberly Bosco NEPTUNE – Fulfill, formerly The FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, will be distributing 52,080 LED light bulbs to people in need as part of its “Shine Light on Hunger” campaign. “Shine Light on Hunger” is part of the Community Based LED Program with New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program (NJCEP). “Fulfill is more than a food bank. In addition to feeding our struggling neighbors, we offer comprehensive resources for them under one roof to help them move from financial difficulty to economic well-being. Providing these LED light bulbs is part of that effort. These LED light bulbs will help our neighbors make ends meet while serving as an educational tool about how to reduce costly electric bills long term. Most importantly, our ‘Shine Light on Hunger’ campaign also works to raise awareness about the compli-
cated issue of hunger,” said Fulfill CEO and President Kim Guadagno, former Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey. This imitative was funded through New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program. The energy efficient Energy Star certified light bulbs last approximately 15,000 hours, use up to 90% less energy, and last at least 15 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs, saving an estimated $55 in electricity costs over their lifetime, according to NJCEP In total, 26,040 two packs of soft white 60W LED light bulbs will be distributed to households in need in Monmouth and Ocean Counties, along with educational handouts about energy efficiency. “Shine Light on Hunger” will also be the theme of Fulfill’s gala this year to be held on March 27, 2020 at The Sheraton in Eatontown. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available at fulfillgala2020.givesmart.com.

No Lump Doesn’t Mean No Breast Cancer “I don’t have a lump, so there’s no way I can have breast cancer.” This statement reflects a misconception, unfortunately. While a lump is the most common tell-tale symptom of breast cancer, the absence of a lump doesn’t mean that breast cancer can’t be present. There are other methods to detect breast cancer, aside from feeling a lump, and screening is the key. Advances in mammography and ultrasound, are allowing radiologists to detect a larger number of non-palpable masses in the breast. Nonpalpable means the mass cannot be felt. With cancer, non-palpable growths are too small to be felt, but they can be detected on ultrasound, mammography or an MRI. Non-palpable masses may be cancerous or benign. A tissue sampling, called a core needle biopsy, will be necessary to rule out cancerous cells. Like non-palpable masses, calcifications, or calcium deposits, cannot be felt, but can detected in the breast tissue with a mammography. Breast calcifications appear as white spot or specks on a mammography and are common especially after menopause. However, certain patterns of microcalcifications, such as tight clusters or calcifications that differ in size, shape, and density may indicate early breast cancer.

What is a “Mom & Pop” Business? A small, independent, family owned, controlled and operated business.
Your doctor will order a secondary, or diagnostic mammography, with additional magnification views to get a closer look at the calcifications. If the micro-calcifications are still of concern, your doctor may recommend a core needle biopsy, or if wide spread, an excisional biopsy. In the absence of a palpable lump, screening mammography, ultrasound and MRI techniques have dramatically increased the number of breast cancers detected. As a result many cases of breast cancer are being caught at earlier stages, which results in improved survival rates. The single best thing you can do is to maintain your regularly scheduled screening mammographies, and then follow your doctor’s advice if more diagnostic tests are warranted. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that just because you don’t feel a lump, there’s no way you can have breast cancer.
It has a small amount of business volume. It is not franchised.
“Open for business in a single location.” So if your “Mom or Pop” need the services of rehabilitation and nursing services, it just makes sense to go to a “Mom & Pop.”

staying within your budget constraints,” said Freeholder Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. ‘You’ll be surprised just how much more there is to learn from these free educational programs whether you’re shopping for a family or just yourself.” The program will not only help you shop smart, but registered dieticians will stimulate your taste buds by cooking up a few delicious menu ideas to demonstrate just how tasty these healthy dishes can be and so easy to prepare. “We want people to understand that eating healthy doesn’t have to be expensive. Additionally, healthy meals don’t have to be tasteless and really can be delicious without having to spend a lot of time in the kitchen preparing,” said Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator. “It’s not easy for diabetics, they have many challenges when trying to come up with smart choices and still enjoy what they are eating.” For more information, visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org.

Does My Insurance Have A Hearing Aid Benefit?
It can be quite confusing figuring out whether your insurance carries a hearing aid benefit. What we do know is MEDICARE does not pay for hearing aids and MEDICAID does. However, many secondary insurances have a hearing aid benefit if you’re willing to spend hours of your time on the phone speaking with a live representative to give you that information. To save you time, this is what I know: First, a large majority of CIGNA plans have a hearing aid benefit. This benefit is administered by a 3rd party administrator called Amplifon. You are required to register through Amplifon’s portal such that the Audiologists staff can assess your benefits information and print it out. Second, many of the AETNA plans have a hearing aid benefit either through a 3rd party such as Amplifon or a flat monetary benefit that is paid to the Audiologist. This benefit can range from $500 to $750 in most cases. Third, those of you that have Federal BC/BS typically have a $1250 hearing aid benefit per ear. In addition, those
Federal employees can also choose to go through a 3rd party administrator such as TruHearing. Fourth, many of the Ford and/or General Motors retirees have a hearing aid benefit administered through 3rd parties such as American Hearing Benefits (AHB) or AudioNet. Other 3d party administrators include HEAR USA, EPIC, and Your Hearing Network. The best advice that I can give you is to provide your Audiologist with your insurance information so that they can verify your benefits. In the vast majority of these plans, you will save a significant amount of money taking advantage of your 3rd party benefit. The pitfalls of these plans include the following: • Most of these plans do not offer long 0 percent interest plans • The Audiologist is limited to specific manufacturers for the hearing aid selected. In many cases, this may not be the best hearing instrument for the patient’s lifestyle and listening needs • The Audiologist can charge for their time after the fi rst year of services

8 Ways To Improve Energy By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I bet some of you who deal with chronic fatigue are feeling very misunderstood by others. Maybe you have a fear of not being believed or being perceived negatively. I have compassion for you. Fatigue is not something someone can see like a broken ankle, it’s something that they have to take your word for it. If you’re coming into the New Year 2020 with fatigue, I have help for you today. It is simply not possible to make a resolution to beat fatigue if you don’t know what the underlying cause is! But what you can do is try energy-boosting mito-loving supplements and support GI health which can help you produce energy. Sometimes just ending a tedious job or leaving a challenging relationship can fill your cup with new reserves of energy. I want to be careful that I don’t medicalize fatigue because we live in a weird day and age where every symptom gets you a drug! Since I’m a registered pharmacist and crazy about natural medicine, I’d like to move away from the psychological perspective now, and offer you some treatment options. There are many new things today, but one of them I do not recommend is a fecal microbiota transplant. Not kidding here! Do not get talked into this procedure for chronic fatigue. Fecal microbiota is the medical term for a procedure in which ‘stool’ from a healthy person (the donor) is placed into another person’s intestine in the hopes that the donor’s microbiota (ie probiotics) will flourish and help re-establish yours. I mention it because I’m into new research, and I came across a study that showed a fecal transplant could
improve symptoms of fatigue in people with IBS. But it’s a head scratcher to me because I would have suggested taking supplements of B vitamins and probiotics (and dietary restrictions) before doing the stool transplant! I have a very comprehensive version of this article which I can email to you, if you sign up for the newsletter at suzycohen.com. I will now list some of the most important energy hacks and hormone considerations that may help you: • CoQ10 - Important for muscle contractions • Thyroid - Low levels of thyroid hormone cause mental and physical fatigue • TMG - It’s a methyl donor that spawns other energy-producing nutrients • Hormones - Reduced estrogen can cause fatigue • Iron - Iron deficiency anemia can make you tired and dizzy • Creatine - Creatine leads to more ATP and supports muscle health • Greens - Certain superfoods and super fruits can improve mental clarity and physical stamina • Zinc - New research suggests that zinc enhances cellular energy reserves. In short, the best way to reclaim energy if you have digestive issues is to start with your digestion because a lot of mitochondria reside in the gut. Emerging research shows there is cross-talk between your gut and your muscles! Supplements such as those above may be extraordinarily helpful and should be carefully considered with the help of a qualified practitioner. I have a longer version of this article at suzycohen.com.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Toms River To Hold Free Rabies Clinic
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER - The Toms River Animal Facility will be holding a free rabies clinic from 10 a.m. to noon on January 18, at 235 Oak Ave. near Police headquarters. Written proof of a prior rabies vaccination shot is required to make the new shot good for three years. There will be no adjustments made to rabies shot certificates once the clinic is over. Township residents may also purchase dog and cat licenses at the clinic. Payment by check or cash only. All dogs and cats must be in a carrier or on a leash. Dog owners are reminded that all dogs over seven months of age must be licensed each year, per State law. In Toms River, dog licenses must be renewed each year in January. To purchase a dog license, the owner must present a current rabies shot certificate with an expiration date after November 1, 2020. If the shot expires before November 1, 2020, the dog cannot be licensed. The cost is $15 for a spayed/neutered dog and $20 if not spayed or neutered. If applicable, residents are also reminded to show proof the animal is spayed or neutered. A late fee of $5 plus the cost of license begins in February and increases to $10 plus the cost of the license in March. Late Fees are set by ordinance and cannot be waived. All pet licenses can be renewed in person or by mail at the Toms River Health Department, 33 Washington St. Those wishing to purchase by mail, the address is Toms River Dog Licensing P.O.
Box 728, Toms River NJ 08754 Requests must Include: - Check for exact amount, payable to “Toms River Twp.” Rabies shot certificate expiring after November 1, 2020 - Proof of spaying/neutering signed by a licensed Vet (if applicable) - Self-addressed, stamped, business-size envelope. For those coming in person be prepared to wait in long lines, due to high volume, during January, February and March. The hours are 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Toms River Municipal Building, 33 Washington St. Payment must be in cash and in the exact amount or check payable to “Toms River Twp.” Only. (no debit or credit cards) For additional information or questions, call 732- 341-1000 extension 8408. The benefits of a dog licensure and placing the license on the dog’s collar has many benefits for the dog owner, as well as for the citizens, including the following benefits: • Licensed dogs are vaccinated against rabies and those with current license tags on their collars are considered generally protected from the disease. • A licensed dog that wanders off the owner’s property or gets lost can be traced and quickly returned to its owner by animal control officers. • Dog licensing is mandatory in all New Jersey municipalities and the licensing fee is much less than the fines and penalties for having unlicensed dogs. • License fees support animal control, animal sheltering and rabies control activities within the municipality.

By Kimberly Bosco GALLOWAY – During the holiday season, Atlantic Medical Imaging (AMI) made sure to give back to the communities it serves by “Adopting A Family.” AMI recently partnered with the Center For Family Services, Cape May County Special Services School District and Contact of Ocean & Monmouth Counties to “adopt” 14 families from Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, Ocean and Monmouth Counties. “We believe we have a responsibility to give back to the communities we serve and make a positive impact on people’s lives apart from just our clinical expertise,” said Dr. David Levi, President and CEO of AMI. The Adopt a Family program assigned
each AMI office with a family in that area. Each of the families provided a gift wish list and AMI physicians and staff purchased the items requested.

Olden was charged following a three month long investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force and Lakewood Police Department Street Crimes Unit. On August 6, 2019, law enforcement conducted a motor vehicle stop of Olden’s vehicle recovering a substantial amount of heroin as well as a handgun. A search of a Lakewood residence also yielded additional significant amounts of heroin. Olden pled guilty to these charges before Judge Gizinski on October 21, 2019.

Dancer Urges Legislature to Consider Bill Allowing Armed Personnel at Places of Worship
TRENTON – In the wake of the church shooting in Texas and recent anti-Semitic attacks in New Jersey and New York, Assemblyman Ron Dancer urged the legislature to consider his bill (A1695) allowing places of worship to select one person to carry a handgun during religious services for the purpose of security. “The recent attacks against people for their religious beliefs and at their place of worship are grim reminders that no one is safe from evil and we need to do what we can to protect ourselves,” said Dancer (R-Ocean). “The armed hero at the West Freeway Church of Christ in Texas shot a killer in the sanctuary and prevented
countless more casualties. We know we are not immune to such shootings here, which is why I think we should allow churches, mosques, or synagogues to have an armed security person on site to protect the defenseless attendees.” The person selected may be required to participate in a fi rearms training course with certified instructors, and can serve as a volunteer or be paid for their services. The bill does not prohibit places of worship from hiring an armed security officer or allowing a law enforcement officer or other person entitled to carry a fi rearm at all times in this state from serving as the person selected for the security program.

Crisis Hotline Volunteers needed for CONTACT of Ocean & Monmouth Counties’ training beginning Thursday, January 23, 2020, once a week for 12 weeks from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Training will be held at The Chelsea in Brick. CONTACT is a 24-hour
crisis intervention hotline that also provides information & referral to community resources. All calls are free, confidential and anonymous. Training is free. Call 732240-6104 for additional information and registration.

Registration Open for the 2020 Rutgers Environmental Stewards Program
If you have a passion for the environment, a desire to learn and volunteer in your community, then this program is for you Since 2005, hundreds of volunteers have made the commitment to protecting New Jersey’s environment by participating in the Rutgers Environmental Stewards Program. Offered by Rutgers Cooperative Extension, the program introduces volunteers to the science underlying key environmental issues in the Garden State so they can tackle problems and offer solutions in their own communities. In January and February 2020, participants can enroll in a program in one of five New Jersey counties: Atlantic, Mercer, Union, Passaic and Somerset.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jan 18 - jan 24 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Making excuses won’t cut it as this week rolls by. Some people will remain immune to your charm. Make sure you get to work on time and get checks in the mail to pay the bills before they are due. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Sit on your hands to prevent yourself from acting when you shouldn’t in the week to come. Just because the internet gurus tell everyone it’s time to take steps or make changes doesn’t mean that it will end well for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Fantasies might be frivolous but can fuel some ideas. You may enjoy activities that allow you to escape reality or get away from the usual grind. Take notes when you find something worth remembering in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your carefree attitude or social forays could aggravate those who take issues more seriously. Beginning something of importance this week could be the equivalent of pushing a boulder uphill in the middle of a snowstorm. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The part of you that says “I want to control everything” is on steroids. Take a few deep breaths before you take charge of something that isn’t part of your job description. Attend to your own responsibilities in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Attention to detail is desirable in the week ahead. Although it’s unlikely that starting a new business or creative project will be successful now, you can polish, edit and refine existing works. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): No amount
of pixie dust can hide the hard facts. You could pretend there isn’t an elephant in the room that everyone else notices. Avoid making crucial decisions in the upcoming week that could impact your family. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Use criticism as a fulcrum to maneuver past obstacles. Someone could point out small errors or problems that need your attention as the week unfolds. Once problems are dealt with there will be less resistance to your ideas. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Reflect on ways to achieve material stability as this week goes by. If you work hard, you can achieve your objectives in a slow and relentless spiral. Your wallet might feel thinner than usual, so remain thrifty. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may feel driven to act on strong urges and passionate desires, but examine these feelings carefully. You think you know what’s right or what you want, but when this week is over, you may think differently. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might be appalled when people say or do unacceptable things and then display a lack of remorse. Remain quiet and avoid stirring up controversy in the coming week. Put your skills to work in a positive way. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You might be happiest if you can escape from the dog-eatdog business world and find a quiet, peaceful retreat. This isn’t a good week to make major purchases or decisions, but it can be a good time to gather ideas.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen This Delicious Dish Is Simple Enough For Family Meal,Yet Elegant For Special Dinner Party By Wolfgang Puck PORK MEDALLIONS ON APPLE COMPOTE WITH BLACK PEPPER CIDER SAUCE Serves 4 For the black pepper cider sauce: 1 cup (250 mL) good-quality canned chicken stock or broth, plus a little extra if needed 2 tablespoons apple cider jelly or apple jelly 1/2 cup (125 mL) heavy cream 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 tablespoon crushed black peppercorns, plus extra to taste For the apple compote: 2 pounds (1 kg) large pippin or Granny Smith apples 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 2 teaspoons apple cider jelly or apple jelly 1/4 cup (60 mL) dry white wine 1/2 cup (125 mL) heavy cream Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Pinch freshly grated nutmeg For the pork medallions: 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) pork loin, cut into 8 equal medallions 1 to 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Finely chopped fresh Italian parsley, for garnish First, prepare the sauce: In a 10-inch (25-cm) skillet, combine the stock or broth and the jelly. Over medium-high heat, simmer briskly until the liquid reduces to 1/2 cup (125 mL), stirring frequently to take care that the sugar in the jelly doesn’t burn along the side of the pan. Pour in the cream and simmer briefly, just until the sauce thickens. Whisk in the butter and crushed peppercorns to taste. Cover and keep warm. For the compote, peel, core, and quarter the apples, then cut into thin slices. In a 12-inch (30-cm) skillet, melt the butter over high heat. Add the apples, saute briefly, and then reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft. Add the jelly and wine and stir until the jelly melts. Add the cream and stir until the apples are evenly coated. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a hint of nutmeg. Keep warm. To prepare the medallions, first lightly dust them all over with the flour and season to taste with salt and pepper. Over medium-high heat, heat 1 or 2 heavy skillets with enough cooking surface to hold the medallions in a single layer without crowding. Add 1 tablespoon each of oil and butter to each skillet, and swirl to coat the cooking surface. Add the pork medallions and saute until golden-brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. To serve, mound the compote on 4 heated plates. Arrange two medallions on top of the compote on each plate. Spoon a little sauce over and around the medallions. Garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
