─Photo By Bob Vosseller Manchester Township Police officials including Chief Lisa Parker join Lester Glenn Auto Group staff including Steve Regan who organized a special year-long fundraising campaign for the purchase of another K-9 Unit dog for the department for a $10,000 check presentation. By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Storm, a solid black, six-year-old German Shepherd is one of two members of the township’s K-9 Unit, and while he’s of ten on night duty, he served a bit of overtime recently during a special gathering that showcased his talents. The dog joined his
partner/handler Patrolman Marc Micciulla and fellow K-9 officer Patrolman Steve Wendruff, and his partner a sable colored German shepherd named Lynk, Police Chief Lisa Parker, Captain Todd Malland, and Lt. James Sharkey for the occasion of a $10,250 donation to the department. Around a year ago
Lester Glen n Auto Group salesman Steve Regan sought a community project. Originally from London, he had served as a judge for the American Kennel Club, and previously worked to reunite retired U.S. A r med Forces K-9s with their handlers. The Toms R iver was i nspi red to raise funds for the
Manchester Township K-9 Unit having heard that the department was seeking to add another dog to that unit. The cost of another dog - including the purchase, training, food and various equipment - is ap prox i m at ely $20,000, according to Micciulla. From January 1, 2019

Ocean County Challenges New Jersey On Senior Funding Reductions
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – If there’s one theme that can be seen lately, it’s that local officials have been questioning the state about cuts in funds. In addition to the Toms River and Brick school districts losing tens of
millions of dollars in aid over the course of several years, the county lost state funding for senior programs. Freeholder Joseph H . Vic a r i , w h o i s Chairman of the Office of Senior Services, sent a personal letter to Gov. Phil Murphy
urging him to restore “devastating” cuts to state-f u nded senior programs. According to the county, this is what is being lost: Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving (JACC) is a state-funded program that pro-
vides in-home services to local seniors to help keep them living independently in their community home as opposed to being placed in a nursing facility. According to Maria LaFace, Director of the Ocean County Office of Senior Services, for

those seniors who meet the income requirement, JACC provides a wide array of supports intended to delay or prevent placement in a nursing facility, including respite care, homemakers services, personal emergency (County - See Page 11)
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Mayor Kenneth T. Palmer issued a statement this week about the township’s preparation to implement a paid EMS service noting that with “volunteerism across the country dwindling in numbers its effects are being felt in Manchester like never before.” Palmer said, “on average, Manchester Township has 800 to 1,000 first aid calls per month. As previously discussed, due to the decline in membership, our volunteer First Aid Squads can no longer meet the high demand.” The mayor added that “unfortunately, (EMS - See Page 7)
GOP Leader Sentenced To Jail, Appeal Likely By Patricia A. Miller TRENTON – The former longtime head of the Ocean County Republican Party was sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison for fi nancial crimes he committed over the past few years. A pallid-looking George R. Gilmore apologized for his fi nancial misdeeds. Some of his family and friends sobbed during and after the court proceedings. Gilmore was not jailed on the morning of his sentencing hearing on Jan. 22. U.S. District Court Judge Anne E. Thompson gave him and Kevin H. Marino - his Chatham-based attorney - several weeks to fi le arguments on why an appeal should be granted. He will serve his sentence at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution. Gilmore will also have to serve three years of probation once his sentence runs out. Thompson also ordered that the one-time party head will have to receive mental health treatment. His attorney had declared this was part of a hoarding disorder. An expert on this (Sentence - See Page 8)

to December 31, 2019 Regan put aside money from the commission of his sales, supplemented by donations from Lester Glenn staff and customers toward that fund. He raised $5,000 which was matched by Lester Glenn’s owner Adam Kraushaar and management. Chuck Snider, representing PBA #105 of the New Jersey Department of Corrections, provided an additional $250 check during the January 15 presentation held at the Toms River Lester Glenn Chrysler, Jeep Dodge Ram, and Fiat store on Rt. 37 West. “We had a K-9 unit back in the day, around 22 years ago.

enforcement agencies can garner a designated amount from the value of confiscated vehicles and items from arrests through state police regulations. Chief Parker noted that the department is actually seeking to acquire two new K-9unit dogs. “That is our long-term goal but we are waiting until November to see what happens with the marijuana referendum question that will be on the ballot.” The chief explained that depending on how that vote goes to legalizing marijuana, it would impact the training of new K-9 officers as well as how Storm and Lynk’s duties will be performed. “We wouldn’t pursue this now as 50% of what our dogs’ work might not be the same. The unit has become a very important part of our department. They are not bred to be a family pet. We pay $6-$9,000 for the dogs and that does not include their training, our officers’ training, food, and lodging for them when our officers are on vacation,” Chief Parker said. She added that Green Leaf Resort provides a reduced rate when the dogs are boarded and that Dr. Lisa Schorr of Whiting Veterinary Clinic “helps us out greatly.” “We generally use them on side-to-side evenings but they sometimes are called in for some day shift work,” Chief Parker added. She noted that with the county, state and nation’s current opioid crisis the department has been working to bring drug use awareness to the school district. “We raised $5,000 matching what Steve raised. We are involved in supporting many community causes,” Lester Glenn Digital

Marketing Manager Matt Costanzo said. “If we can give something back that is what it is all about,” Regan said. During the presentation Regan noted the fundraiser, dubbed, “Raising Bucks for Pups” generated a lot of conversation and that he was amazed at the amount total that was now presented to the Manchester Police Department. Regan had pamphlets available for customers to learn about the collection and “he launched a Facebook fundraising page. Many of our employees chipped in as well. He is one of our top salesmen and he put together today’s presentation,” Costanzo added. “The continued support our K-9 Unit receives from our community is amazing, and we appreciate the many businesses, civic groups, and individuals that contribute to its success,” Chief Parker said. Prior to the check presentation Wendruff and Micciulla provided a demonstration to the audience of around 40 people assembled at the dealership showing what Storm could do, how the K-9 Unit vehicle works, what the dogs wear for protection and how the K-9 officers respond in specific situations. “We spend more times with our dogs then we do with our own families,” Wendruff said. Lynk and Storm come home with their partners at the end of the day. Generally, the dogs are able to serve the department for about a decade and – as long as there are no medical limitations - are provided either lighter service duties or retired which means adjusting them to “civilian” life which also requires training.

Wendruff said. Chief Parker added that the department noted an increase in responses involving narcotics around 2014 which sparked reforming of the K-9 Unit. Storm was the department’s fi rst fourlegged addition to the force since the unit’s reactivation. He came from the Netherlands and will soon be turning seven years old. Lynk joined the department soon after and is from Hungry. Both dogs were trained at Shelly’s School for Dogs/Green Leaf Pet Resort, Millstone Township. Micciulla said the dogs paid for themselves in the first year through the number of items confiscated. “We seized 40 cars, and money-wise the actual cash seized was in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.” Law

Continued From Page 1 in recent months, despite their best efforts, our volunteers’ coverage has been sporadic.” Palmer said that in January alone, there were 10 consecutive days with only a few calls answered by Manchester First Aid Squad and five consecutive days where they did not have a crew at all. “When a call for first aid is made, the call goes to the County dispatchers and the protocol is to dispatch our volunteer first aid squads first. If the volunteer squads are not able to respond, the County dispatchers are tasked to contact the back-up service provider, Quality Medical Transport. Obviously, the multiple calls delay the response time, which delays the patient’s arrival to the hospital,” Palmer said. Due to the significant decline in recent coverage, “the Manchester Township Council and I have taken immediate action and de-authorized the Manchester First Aid Squad from providing first aid services in Manchester Township. It was our hope to have a transition period when the Township’s paid EMS service was on-line.” Palmer added that unfortunately, the governing body could not wait. “We needed to take this action to ensure our residents on the east side of town are afforded the fastest and most efficient response times. This decision also alleviates Manchester First Aid from the
The Manchester Times, February 1, 2020, Page 7 obligation to provide coverage, as the majority of their members are from out of town and travel to Manchester.” The mayor explained that until the Township paid EMS service is operational, Quality Medical Transport will be the primary responding service and to ensure coverage. Police Chief Lisa Parker has entered into a mutual aid agreement with Toms River to provide back-up service. Whiting First Aid will continue to provide coverage on the west section of the township. In the event, they are not able to cover a call, Quality Medical Transport will cover the call according to the mayor. “Importantly, we anticipate the township’s paid EMS service to be operational by March 1,” the mayor said. “Manchester needs 24/7 coverage with multiple ambulances ready to respond with two certified EMT’s on the rigs, our residents deserve it,” Chief Parker said. The police chief recently held testing for the EMT positions with over 70 applicants. That testing consisted of a written portion, practical portion and physical portion. The highest scoring applicants advanced to the interview process which was completed, for the most part, last week. “We are now in the process of complet i ng ba ckg rou nd che ck s for potential hires. Once the background process is completed, our new hires will undergo a short training period on the Township’s required practices and
protocols. At that point, we will be ready to roll,” Parker said. “It is our intent to utilize the township-owned building, previously occupied by the Manchester First Aid Squad,” Palmer said. “Please note, this property has always been deed-restricted requiring the property to be used for township emergency services. Utilizing this building will save the taxpayers thousands of dollars in building costs and more importantly ensure a smooth transition for the new EMS service.” Volunteers have been encouraged to apply for the paid positions or continue volunteering as a Township Auxiliary EMT. “We recognize the value of volunteerism and we encourage those who

have the time and skill set to be a part of our team. This township operated EMS Division will eventually include paid firefighters who will also be dually-certified as EMTs,” the mayor added. Palmer said, “they will supplement the dayshift volunteers’ fi re calls along with answering fi rst aid calls for service.” “We will have a fully functional emergency response team with police, fi re and EMTs all working together for the betterment of the community,” Parker said. “As mayor, it is my goal and that of the Council and Chief of Police to provide the best 24/7 emergency service to our community, with the highest training standards, and become the model for the state of New Jersey,” Palmer said.

Sentence:
Continued From Page 1 was brought forward to testify, but the federal government did not want to hear this testimony in the case. Gilmore was to have a psychiatric evaluation. The results of that evaluation, or if it even took place, was unknown as of press time. Thompson did not fi ne Gilmore for any of his offenses, but said he would end up paying “about a million a year” in contract penalties. The Toms River resident had been previously indicted by a federal grand jury regarding his work as an attorney with his fi rm Gilmore & Monahan. This fi rm has since closed and his partner and employees were not charged. Gilmore’s law fi rm did work for a number of towns, which dissolved their contracts with him. He also had to step down from being chairman of the county Republicans. Frank Holman took his place in a vote held May 15. A press release from the U.S. Attorney’s office detailed the charges. As a partner and shareholder at Gilmore & Monahan, he was in control of the law fi rm’s fi nancials. For tax quarters ending March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the fi rm withheld tax payments from its employees’ checks, but Gilmore did not pay them in full to the IRS. Additionally, he applied for a Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA) to obtain refi nancing of a mortgage loan for $1.5 million with a “cash out” provision that provided Gilmore would obtain cash from the loan on Nov. 21, 2014. On Jan. 22, 2015, he updated the application, failing to disclose outstanding 2013 tax liabilities and personal loans he got from other people. He had received $572,000
from the cash out portion of the loan. The jury was not able to reach a decision on the charge of tax evasion for years 2013, 2014, and 2015, the court spokesman said. He was acquitted of two charges of fi ling false tax returns for calendar years 2013 and 2014. The two counts of failing to collect, account for, and pay over payroll taxes each carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison, and a $250,000 fi ne, or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense. The count of loan application fraud carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fi ne. Instead of paying taxes, he had been spending a great deal on home remodeling and lavish decorations, reportedly on such things as a mammoth tusk and a statue of George Washington. An Open Public Records Act request for the sentencing materials was not provided by the court by press time. A press release from the U.S. Attorney’s office said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Rachael Honig credited a number of people for this investigation, including: special agents of IRS-Criminal Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge John R. Tafur, special agents with U.S. Attorney’s Office under the direction of Supervisory Special Agent Thomas Mahoney, and special agents of the FBI Red Bank Resident Agency, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Gregory W. Ehrie in Newark. The government is represented by Deputy U.S. Attorney Matthew J. Skahill; Assistant U.S. Attorney Jihee G. Suh of the U.S. Attorney’s Office Special Prosecutions Division; and Trial Attorney Thomas F. Koelbl of the U.S. Department of Justice - Tax Division. - Chris Lundy contributed to this story.

Speaking Up For Seniors After Doctor Says 75 Is A “Prett y Good Age” To Die
Freeholder Forum by Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari It’s hard to turn on the television, pick up a newspaper or browse the internet without reading or hearing a ludicrous statement expounded by a so-called “expert.” Yet even by contemporary standards, it would be hard to find a more outrageous or meritless comment than one made by a former Obama White House health advisor. Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel made headlines recently when he declared that age 75 is a “pretty good age” to die. You read that right. A doctor, a medical professional sworn to preserve life has decided that come your 75th birthday you should wake up and realize, well, it’s time. That’s all she wrote. The statement would be comical if not for the harm such thinking can do to our senior citizens. To group all older adults into a single category and say that at 75, life is no longer worth living is not even worthy of debate. Emanuel goes on to say that by 75 it’s difficult to walk, fingers don’t work and all a man or woman can do is “sit around the den reading” or do “crossword puzzles.” Well Dr. Emanuel, I can personally introduce to you thousands of seniors, many well over 75 who do a heck of a lot more every day than crossword puzzles. Ocean County is home to more than 173,000 seniors, many of whom are active in their
communities. They are part of the social and economic engine that fuels our county. Look across our country and our globe and see what seniors are accomplishing. Our president and some of his leading Democratic opponents are in their sev-
enties. Paul McCartney came to America with the Beatles for the first time in 1964. Today, he still performs three-hour-long live concerts. I don’t see Mick Jagger sitting in his den doing crossword puzzles. While it is true that some of our seniors do suffer from chronic conditions that threaten their quality of life, the way to deal with these important issues is through caring and compassion, not cold-hearted statements that set expiration dates on human beings like they were gallons of 2 percent milk. As Chairman of Senior Services for Ocean County I work to ensure that all of our seniors live with dignity. Our Meals on Wheels program will deliver more than 300,000 nutritional meals to our older adults in 2020. We offer outreach programs, exercise and fitness classes, Medicare information, transportation, legal services, caregiver services, social and recreational activities, benefits counseling, mental health support and a host of other community-based initiatives. Today I’m waging a battle against Trenton and have personally contacted the Governor and key legislators who are threatening to cut funding to many of our senior programs. So Dr. Emanuel, if you are looking to throw in the towel when you hit 75 that’s your choice. But don’t look to the rest of us to join you.

BACK PAIN? We Have Your Back Pain Solution: 1 - Diagnose 2 - Fix the Problem Sciatica
Back Spasms
Back pain on its own is bad enough, but when nerves become compressed, they can create a condition called sciatica. Sciatic pain can travel as far down as the foot. Symptoms can range from a mild to sharp ache, excruciating pain, or a burning sensation. Some patients have described sciatica as feeling like a jolt or electric shock. Usually one side of the body is affected and is aggravated by prolonged sitting. Others have experienced numbness, tingling or muscle weakness in the affected areas such as the leg or foot.
Muscle spasms in the back may sound familiar to you – they can range from slight discomfort to immobilizing pain. They may be a result of an injury or strain on the muscles, or of more chronic conditions like arthritis or disc issues. With proper treatment, you can take control of your muscle spasms. There may be pressure on the spine that can be corrected with chiropractic care, or acupuncture may help relax the muscle spasms.
Sciatica may derive from a sudden movement that sends pain shooting from the back down the legs. Or it may be a more long-term issue that comes and goes, getting worse over time. Either way, it is imperative you seek professional medical help to fix the problem and prevent further, possibly irreversible, damage. Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation has a variety of skilled practitioners able to treat sciatica, addressing both the cause of the issue and relieving the pain itself through services like acupuncture, chiropractic, laser therapy, and more. To schedule your FREE consultation ($245 value) please call 732-345-1377.
Relief is just a call away – call Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation today at 732-345-1377 to claim your FREE initial consult ($245 value) to learn how we can help you find your solution.
Piriformis Syndrome
X-Ray Diagnosis
Spinal Stenosis Spinal Stenosis is an arthritic condition of the spine that may result in pain, tingling in the extremities, muscle weakness, and even difficulty walking. Recurring back pain is something that should and can be corrected, and at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation, we offer solutions that don’t involve surgery or medications. Our doctors combat the pain at the source, using a range of hands-on techniques, as well as cutting edge laser therapy and vibration therapy. Acupuncture has also been proven to provide relief. Any number of these modalities could make up the perfect formula for your custom treatment program – that’s what makes the Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation experience unique. To schedule your FREE consultation ($245 value) please call 732-345-1377.
Similar to sciatica, is a condition in which the piriformis muscle, located in the buttocks region, irritates the sciatic nerve. Symptoms are very similar to sciatica, and may also include aching or spasms in thepiriformis muscle and reduced range of motion in the hip joint. The skilled team of practitioners at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation is capable of providing relief from this syndrome and address it at the root of the problem.
We take x-rays in our facilities in order to provide a more complete and accurate diagnosis. This allows us to curate a treatment program based on the cause of the pain to truly address the problem, not just mask the pain.
CHECK OUT OUR PATIENT TESTIMONIALS “I’ve had back pain since 2000 and have had to use a cane to walk because of a few bulging discs. In the last year it’s gotten extremely painful, so I finally looked into Monmouth Pain & Rehab. I was previously told I would need surgery, but the doctors at Monmouth Pain assured me they could have me feeling a lot better. Within two weeks I no longer had to use my cane, and after a few months I am feeling at least 80% better. I would HIGHLY recommend Monmouth Pain to anyone who needs pain management.” –Google review by Jeff R Check out more 5 star reviews on Google, Yelp, and Facebook.
Herniated Disc Herniated discs occur when a spinal disc pushes through the spine, often times pressing on a nerve and resulting in pain, tingling, numbness or weakness in the legs or arms. Herniated discs can occur in the neck and lower back. If not treated, discs can continue to degenerate which may lead to permanent nerve damage.
TAKE ACTION NOW!
One of Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation’s most effective treatments for disc issues is non-surgical spinal decompression. The computerized decompression machine relaxes the spine, enabling the disc to slide back into its proper position, easing the pain on the nerve. We also offer chiropractic care to help prevent future herniated discs. If you’re interested in exploring spinal decompression or other treatment options, schedule your FREE consult ($245 value) today! Call 732-345-1377.

County:
Continued From Page 1 response systems, home delivered meals, transportation, adult day care, special medical equipment or supplies, caregiver training, home health aide services. In the state fiscal year 2019, Ocean County was awarded $1,067,970 for JACC services. In state fiscal year 2020, that total has decreased to $818,432. Visiting Home Care Service of Ocean County is expected to lose more. Home health aide services have been provided to Ocean County seniors for the last 40 years by Visiting Home Care Services using Title 20 funding through the state Division of Disability Services. This funding will end as of June 30, 2020, said Freeholder Joseph Vicari. “The provider stands to lose $460,000,” he said. On average Visiting Home Care Services (VHS) has been providing approximately 300 hours a week of home health aide services under Title 20 grant funds, which translates to about 15,600 hours of home care a year that will no longer be provided, or 50 clients a week will go without help, he added. Between cuts to JACC funding and the cuts in Title 20 funding to VHS, Ocean County has lost a total of $709,538 in state dollars used for senior services. Vicari said in his letter that Ocean County is home to more than 173,000 senior citizens. The amount of them who are older than 85 is growing as well. One of the goals of senior programs is to make sure that they can continue to age gracefully, remaining in their homes with assistance.

The Manchester Times, February 1, 2020, Page 11 “I strongly urge the State to reconsider these cuts and fully restore funding to these vital programs. At a time when funding to such important programs should be increased, substantial reductions like this will adversely impact the long-term welfare of our seniors and should be avoided at all costs,” he wrote in the letter. The Freeholders unanimously agreed to send this letter. Vicari said these cuts, along with a recent
insufficient hike in the Social Security cost of living increase, are taking an unfair financial toll on the county’s senior citizen population. “The state and federal governments cannot balance their budgets on the backs of our seniors,” he said. “It has to stop.” Tom Hester, Director of Communications for the New Jersey Department of Human Services responded to a reporter’s questions about the future of these programs and the
reasoning behind the cuts. “The Department has been working with Ocean County to ensure JACC programs are covered with other funds so that no one loses services,” he said. “The Department continues to work with Visiting HomeCare and funding for its programs will continue through the end of this fiscal year (June 30). The Department will also continue to monitor this transition in efforts to minimize any impacts.”

Visit The Lakehurst Historical Society
LAKEHURST – The Borough of Lakehurst Historical Society maintains a collection of historical artifacts, books, pictures, and documents which provide a record of a rich history and which help to educate those who wish to learn about a sometimes unknown part of local lore. Charred remnants of the dirigible Hindenburg, which crashed here in 1937, and items from the Navy’s rigid airship program are always popular items to see when one visits the Society’s Museum. The Museum is located at 300 Center Street, in the oldest Roman Catholic Church in Ocean County, Old St. John’s Church. The Church was built in 1874 by Irish Railroad workers. Old Church items are on display and are quite beautiful to see. An old cemetery surrounds the museum. The Museum opened in July, 1993 with nearly 1,000 people on hand. People from many states and several foreign countries have come to view the items on display. It
is managed by all volunteer workers. The Museum also contains an old jail cell, fi re department memorabilia, items and furnishings from the Pine Tree Inn, a 19th century music box, original paintings, and many other items relating to Lakehurst’s past as a winter resort, early industrial community, and as the “Airship Capital of the World”. A small research area and library are also available to help people begin their journey through local history. A beautiful Christmas display of old toys, as well as a number of seasonal and changing displays make the Museum a special place to return to several times a year. The Museum is open on Wednesdays and Sundays from noon until 3 p.m. Special tours and small groups can be accommodated with prior notice. For more information contact us at: Lakehurst Historical Society Museum, 300 Center Street, Lakehurst, New Jersey 08733 or 732-657-8864.

Reverend Patt y is Back!
WHITING – The Whiting United Methodist Church is happy to announce that Reverend Patty Wentworth will be hosting the Lenten Book Study this year. We will be reading “Entering the Passion of Jesus: A Beginner’s Guide to Holy Week” by Amy-Jill Levine. Miss Levine is a University professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies and Mary Jane Werthan Professor of Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt Divinity School and College of Arts and Science. Amy-Jill delves into the history and literature surrounding the last days of Jesus’ life. She sets the narrative in historical context and analyzes the risks and motives of the story’s characters. From Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem to his prayerful agony at
Gethsemane, Levine brings forward aspects and details that open doors for readers of the Bible. She shows how text raises ethical and spiritual questions for the reader and how we all face risk in our Christian experience. Study dates are on consecutive Tuesday’s beginning March 3, 2020 through April 7, 2020 at 1 p.m. at the church, 55 Lacey Road in Whiting. The book is on order and will be available soon.

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:
Size Color 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”. On the average, batteries should cost between 80 to 95 cents each. Batteries at Garden State Hearing and Balance Center cost $3.50 for a package of four batteries.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
5 Powerful Strategies For Men With Enlarged Prostate By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. The uncomfortable symptoms may occur at any age, and hormone imbalances can lead to prostate enlargement. The condition is abbreviated as BPH which stands for Benign Prostatic Enlargement. Unfortunately, we’re seeing BPH and prostatitis occur younger and younger like for men in their thirties! The associated problems with prostate dysfunction include frequent nighttime urination which can disrupt sleep, urgency, painful urination and lower pelvic or rectal pain. Testosterone or “T” is a hormone that both men and women make and it’s broken down by two different pathways. That’s the most important part, however the breakdown of testosterone is most important. A urine test can check for the metabolites and answer that question. It’s called the “Dutch Complete test” and you can ask your doctor about it, or visit my website to purchase it directly since I’m a provider. Testosterone or “T” is produced in both men and women and is considered the libido hormone. T either breaks down the 5-alpha reductase or the 5-beta reductase pathway. If it goes down the 5-alpha pathway, it turns into a potent androgen called DHT (short for dihydrotestosterone). So, you know, DHT is the type of testosterone that, in excess, is associated with male pattern baldness and BPH. In a woman, DHT is associated with PCOS, a painful condition of ovarian cysts. So, controlling the production of DHT is very important because you don’t want too much T breaking down the 5-alpha pathway. It’s androgenic. Right now, I’d like to share the 5 powerful strategies that
may help you. Ask your doctor what’s right for you: 1. Quercetin - Quercetin gives color to fruits and vegetables and supplements of this can help with prostate size and pain levels. 2. Pumpkin Seed Oil - You can buy this as a dietary supplement (softgel) or as an actual cold-pressed oil to use on salads and cook with. Eating pumpkin seeds are another way to garner the benefits. 3. Selenium - Taking about 100 to 200 mcg per day could be useful. 4. Vitamin D - About 2500 to 5000 IU per day might be of value. There is some research to show that vitamin D levels are important for prostate health, and that it can help shrink the prostate for some men. 5. Saw Palmetto based supplements There are a plethora of supplements available at health food stores that have saw palmetto in them, including NOW’s brand of Prostate Support or New Chapter’s blend of Prostate 5LX. These are multi-tasking formulas which you can review for yourself, or find one that feels right for you. Taking ibuprofen or applying a hot pack can help with mild pain. It goes without saying that if you have these types of prostate-related symptoms you should see a qualified professional for a complete workup. There are many other considerations that I can share with you in my longer version of this article. If you sign up for my newsletter, I will send it to you by email. For example, other considerations include levels of thyroid, thyroid antibodies, insulin, leptin, zinc, blood sugar and prolactin. A head injury can cause BPH by affecting pituitary hormones!

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Vacationing With Friends Dear Joel, Recently, longtime friends of ours asked my husband and me to join them on an all-inclusive 7-day Caribbean vacation this winter. We’ve known them for more than 10 years, have dined together countless times, attended theater and movies, and celebrated many birthdays and holidays together. We thoroughly enjoy their company, but after a few hours, we’re ready to say goodbye. We’d love to get away but are concerned about being somewhat of a ‘captive audience’. We can’t think of a graceful way to decline, and we certainly don’t want to hurt their feelings. Do you have any suggestions as to how to make this trip work? Answer: Traveling with friends, even good ones can be challenging. I would suggest discussing your individual vacation ‘styles’ beforehand, for example, who are the early risers, explorers, beach lovers, etc.
I would also make it clear upfront that although you are traveling together, you’re not joined at the hip and can go off separately without any hurt feelings. Make plans each day to have at least one or two meals together and book several activities and/or excursions during the trip. Keep in mind that it’s two couple’s vacations and each couple is entitled to enjoy it to the fullest. There may be some compromise here and there, but seven days in paradise goes by quickly, a friendship can last a lifetime. Joel Markel “Thanks for writing” Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Local Athletes Remember Kobe Bryant
By Chris Christopher JERSEY SHORE - How quickly things change. On Saturday night, Jan. 25, the National Basketball Association world celebrated when the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James moved into third place on the league’s career scoring list, passing retired Lakers’ scoring machine Kobe Bryant. On the morning of Jan. 26 came the stunning, tragic news that the beloved Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, and seven others were fatally injured in a helicopter crash outside of suburban Los Angeles. In the fi nal tweet of his life, Bryant, 41, congratulated James on his greatness. “Continue to move the game forward. Much respect my brother,” the tweet said. “Shocking … it reminds me of when JFK Jr. died in a plane crash … or even Princess Diana,” Michael Bateman, a member of Lakewood High School’s 1967 NJSIAA Group III state championship boys team and a Toms River attorney, said on Facebook. “Kobe once said, ‘If you love the game, the game will love
you.’ Greatness personified.” Retired Brick Memorial and Point Pleasant Beach boys coach Tom Pickering recalled how he and his family lived near Lower Merion High School, Pa., where Bryant starred before becoming an NBA player. Lower Merion is a suburb of Philadelphia where James passed Bryant in a loss to the 76ers. “Kobe played just down the street from where we lived,” Pickering said on Facebook. “RIP Kobe.” Bob Delaney, a retired NBA referee who has lived in Brick Township, said on Facebook, “Good man. God bless. An honor to know him. RIP Gianna and Kobe.” Micah McDonald, a former Toms River South athlete and a South Toms River resident, took to Facebook to pay a touching tribute to Bryant. “I am not a Lakers fan,” he said, “but being a sports fan like a lot of us are, you learn to respect and appreciate greatness. When you heard his name on ESPN, you stopped to look. Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest to ever play the game. He was more than a ballplayer. (Memorium - See Page 23)

HPV Vaccination Can Help Prevent Cancer NEPTUNE - Many viruses cause a host of symptoms and conditions, including colds and the flu. Most people are able to overcome viral infections in a couple days to a couple weeks but there are other viruses like human papillomavirus (HPV), a very common sexually transmitted disease, that can cause long-term health problems including cancer. “HPV is probably the most common sexually transmitted disease which a lot of people don’t know about,” Dr. Tracy Proverbs-Singh said. Singh, a gastrointestinal oncologist at Hackensack Meridian Health Hackensack University Medical Center. “It can remain latent in the body for a lifetime.” Most sexually active people have been exposed to HPV and many times it’s harmless and goes away on its own. The cancer most commonly associated with HPV is cervical cancer, but it can also lead to vulvar and vaginal, anal, penile and oral cancers. “Ninety percent of cervix cancers are found to have HPV in their DNA,” said Dr. Karim ElSahwi, attending gynecologic oncologist at Hackensack Meridian Health Jersey Shore University Medical Center. Gynecologists use a Pap test to screen for the presence of HPV in the cervix. They may find cervical cancer early, when it’s most easily treated, or even when it’s at a pre-cancerous stage. About 90 percent of anal cancer is also caused by HPV. You can get HPV by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the virus. Anyone who is sexually active can get HPV and develop symptoms years after having sex with someone who is infected. Using con-

doms every time during sexual intercourse can help reduce the risk. However, condoms are not as effective against HPV as they are against other STDs like chlamydia and HIV. HPV vaccination can provide protection against the most common types of HPV which cause cancer and genital warts. The vaccine is less effective once sexually active,
because people probably have come in contact with HPV already. For this reason, the vaccine is recommended for children age 11-12, giving them protection before being exposed to the viruses. “Getting the vaccine and preventing the infection decreases the risk of cancer dramatically, because over 90 percent of the strains that could cause cancer
are represented,” Dr. Proverbs-Singh said. Normally, people will not experience any symptoms of HPV infection until it has already caused a health problem. Consequently, it is important for people to have regular checkups with their physician to find abnormal changes in their health before it turns into something more serious.

Continued From Page 20 He was fi rst a son, a friend, a teammate, a husband and then a father. “My heart and prayers go out to his parents, his wife, his children, his family of friends and his millions of fans across the world,” he said. “My girlfriend isn’t a sports person, but his death has her crying her eyes out because she knows who he is and what he has meant to an entire generation of people. “The sports world and the world in general have lost a truly great person, sports legend and icon. R.I.P. Black Mamba.” Mike Jedziniak, a former South and University of North Carolina baseball standout who is now an attorney, said there is no comparison between Bryant and retired superstar Michael Jordan. “RIP Kobe,” Jedziniak said on Facebook. “M.J. never scored 81 in a game.” “One of the immortals,” Philip Petescia said on Facebook. “I saw his fi rst All-Star Game from the SI (Sports Illustrated) box at MSG (Madison Square Garden) on Feb. 8, 1998. We were so excited about M.J. and Shaq that it wasn’t until recently when I learned it was Kobe’s fi rst All-Star Game.” Brick Township resident Skip Pulcrano, utilizing Facebook, quoted Bryant as saying, “If you have the talent, practice like you have none.” Ira Thor, a Howell Township Board of Education member, expressed his shock on Facebook. “Stunned and saddened … disbelief,” he said. Former Ocean County College men’s basketball coach Andy Smith, an ex-Brick Memorial player, said on Facebook, “RIP Kobe Bryant #24.” Chris Smith of Seaside Heights also was stunned at the news. “It shook me up a bit,” he said on Facebook. “A basketball legend.”
Barnegat football coach Robbie Davis said on Facebook, “RIP Kobe!” Fan Brian Ewan said on Facebook, “What’s worse is his 13-year-old daughter was also killed.” Former Brick Township High School athlete Jay Groschel opined on Facebook, “What terrible news about KB. Everyone remembers at least one time when they shot a basketball by themselves or with friends and said, ‘Kobe!!’ on the release.” Brick Township resident Carol Frank Brown, an avid sports fan, said on Facebook, “Will continue to be a shining star. RIP GIANNA AND KOBE!” Her brother, Richard Frank, a retired art educator in the Brick Township School District, said on Facebook, “RIP Kobe.” Former Lakewood basketball player Wayne Jupiter said of the event on Facebook, “So sad.” The author of this article, Chris Christopher, eyed Bryant while covering sports for the Ocean County Observer in Toms River, occasionally writing about the exploits of the Julius Erving-led Phladelphia 76ers. Kobe was not much more than a toddler in their locker room. He had a front row seat for the NBA at a tender age as his father, Joe Bryant, was a team member. Kobe was a favorite among the club’s players as he was always smiling, always laughing and always having fun. At times, he teased his dad and his dad’s teammates. And now he’s gone. Amazing. Unbelievable. Interviewed on the Fox News Channel, Erving seized the moment as he often did while playing, stating, “When I heard of Kobe’s death, the fi rst thing I thought about was Joe and Pam as Kobe was their son.” Kobe’s life was a life well lived. Although his life ended at an early age, he was never cheated as he lived an action-packed life, his acrobatic play and infectious personality triggering numerous roars of approval from his fans–and even his non-fans. Rest in peace Kobe.

OCEAN COUNTY NJ ONLINE
Hilda Brown is the oldest resident at Tallwoods Care Center and one of the oldest citizens in the state of New Jersey. Hilda was born on January 20, 1911 in Newfoundland, Canada. Hilda is the only living member from her family of 10. Hilda’s mother passed away at a young age, leaving her to help raise her young siblings. In the mid 1940’s, Hilda moved to the United States and settled in Fort Lee. She worked as a waitress for more than 40 years, where she was loved and admired by all of her coworkers and clients alike. Hilda retired from her waitress job at the age of 70 and moved to Bayville, NJ. Hilda became an active member of the community and her church. She participated in all church functions, hosted church events and played the organ for church causes. She would knit scarfs, blankets and hats to be given out to needy members of the church and veterans. Hilda traveled the world with church missionaries taking her to places as far as Jerusalem, Egypt and Africa. At the age of 88, when most people are enjoying their retirement years, Hilda decided that she wanted to do more for the community. She joined a local senior resident center where she worked as a housekeeper and helped the residents wherever and whenever possible, although most of the residents were a lot younger than she was. In 2014, Hilda came to Tallwoods Care Center where she now currently resides. When asked “What is the single most important factor to your longevity?” Hilda answers with a smile “The key to a long life is to be happy, stay positive and keep yourself busy.” She added, “I drink a black coffee every morning and receive excellent care at Tallwoods Care Center.”

Summer In Winter: Enjoy The Warm Tastes And Colors Of Summer By Wolfgang Puck ROASTED CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH YELLOW AND RED BELL PEPPERS Serves 4 4 large boneless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise in half 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus extra as needed Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 1 yellow bell pepper 1 red bell pepper 2 bunches scallions 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar 4 tablespoons dry sherry 1/2 cup (125 mL) heavy cream 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature Preheat the broiler. Coat the chicken breast pieces with a little oil. Place 2 pieces, spaced apart, in a large, heavy-duty plastic bag. With a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy small saucepan, gently flatten the pieces to a thickness of 1/4 to 1/3 inch (6 to 8 mm). Repeat with the remaining pieces. Lightly season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the yellow and red bell peppers under the broiler and cook, turning, until their skins are completely charred. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Peel off the charred skins. Cut each pepper into 8 pieces and remove the stems, seeds and veins. Set aside. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and fill a bowl with ice cubes and water. Cut off the green parts of 8 scallions.
Immerse the 8 scallion greens in the boiling water for about 15 seconds, then remove them with tongs or a wire skimmer and transfer to the ice water. Drain and set aside. Place 1 scallion green and a piece each of the yellow and red bell peppers lengthwise on top of each flattened chicken piece. Starting at a narrow end, roll up to enclose the vegetables and securely tie each piece closed with 2 lengths of kitchen string. Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Heat a large, heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil. When the oil is hot enough to swirl easily, carefully turn the skillet to coat its bottom. Add the chicken breasts and cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook the chicken for 15 minutes longer. Remove from the oven, use tongs to transfer the chicken to a plate, and cover with foil to keep warm. Cut the remaining scallions in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining oil. When it is hot enough to swirl easily, add the scallions and saute, stirring continuously, for 1 minute. Add the vinegar and sherry, and cook until reduced in volume by about two-thirds, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cream and simmer, stirring, until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to very low and, a little at a time, add the butter, whisking continuously. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, spoon the sauce into the centers of four heated serving plates or a heated platter. Snip off the strings from the chicken breasts, cut each piece crosswise into 4 to 6 slices, and arrange them attractively on top of the sauce.
