County’s Budget: Spending Up, Tax Rate Down By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – For the fourth year in a row, the county’s proposed tax rate will drop. The Board of Ocean County Chosen Freeholders introduced its $450,793,747 spending plan during their latest meeting. Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said, “We

are talking about a blueprint to operate Ocean County for the next year. The good news is we will not cut back on services and we will drop your tax rate.” The budget includes a proposed county property tax rate of 33.7 cents per $100 of an equalized value. Each of the county’s 33 municipali-

ties will experience that rate differently to allow for the tax burden to be equitably distributed. The state administers a formula to equalize its impact. The amount to be raised by taxation is $361,536,722. The total budget represents an increase of $18.8 million from last year. Freeholder Jack Kelly, the

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – A township resident has seen enough accidents in a section of the township over the years and travels through it enough times that he’s worried. He’s calling for a traﬃc light. “For years now Commonwealth Boulevard and Nor thampton Boulevard have been a problem intersection and for whatever reason the county and township have ignored this issue,” resident Shawn Galbreath said on his change.org petition. Galbreath would like to see this situation change. “They obviously know it’s an issue since rumble strips, f lashing lights and flashing stop signs are already installed. It’s time something is done before someone else is seriously hurt or dies.” The resident sees only one answer: “If a traffic light was installed

most of these accidents would stop!” As of press time, Galbreath has more than 1,501 supporters of his petition. Galbreath said the intersection has presented a safety issue since the 1950s. “I went to school in Manchester and back then it was a problem. It was a problem way before 20 years ago. I moved out of the area for a while but came back five years ago. There seems to be a bad accident there just about every week. “A friend of mine suggested that I speak up so I started the petition. I think things have gotten worse over the last six months. The township has said that the county is responsible and the county won’t do anything. We pay enough in taxes and I think something can be done,” Galbreath said. (Traﬃc - See Page 7)

Continued From Page 1 evening reception held in the gymnasium. “It really was a special night thanks to the staff, families, students, the PTA, Manchester Township Education Association, PRIDE committee for their support, and of course Dan Gutman,” Manchester Township Elementary School Media Specialist Laura Henry said. His appearance was part of its one book challenge where families were provided a free copy of Gutman’s book, “The Kid Who Ran for President.” The event took place days before President’s Day involved students in kindergarten thru 5th grade. “The kids really like him,” Henry said. The school’s principal, Linda Waldron echoed that remark as she looked out to the crowded auditorium watching as parents and students lined up to speak to the author and have their book signed. Others played games at the table manned by staff of the Manchester branch of the Ocean County Library. Their game included a spinning wheel that featured Gutman’s face pinned to the wheel where you could win a prize. “There was some amazing team work that put this all together. Our media specialist got our author,” Waldron said. Gutman was born in New York City, and soon moved to Newark. He graduated from Rutgers University with a degree in psychology in 1977 and started graduate

school in that field until moving to New York City in 1980 to start a writing career. The author was a magazine editor and columnist. While editor-in-chief of Stag, he became a fan of video games and launched a video-game magazine. “I started a magazine about video games and suddenly I was an expert in video games. I started writing about them and computers. All for grownups. It took me a long time to realize that writing for grownups was not my thing and that what I was good at was writing for kids,” Gutman said. Two of his books are about Judson Moon, who became President of the United States at the age of 12. His 1996 novel “The Kid Who Ran for President” was compared to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign by comedian John Oliver during an August 2016 segment of the show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. As a result, the book jumped in sales. Waldron said that “We picked a good book for the one book challenge. Copies of the book were given out to 550 families all of whom read together over the last month in preparation for this event. We buy the book as a gift in January which is a good month because it is the winter and it’s a good time for students to read. We promoted it around the school and on the morning announcement and broadcast news in the classroom.” “Dan read a chapter of a book that will be released next week,” Waldron said during the event. “He did several assemblies

and talked about the writing process and the kids were great. They asked a lot of good que st ion s,” Waldron said. Gutman agreed. “They asked some really interesting questions. This was a lot of fun. It was nice to sit around a table and have some individual conversations with the students.” St udents talked with him about their favorite book and characters. “They also asked me where I got my ideas from,” −Photo by Bob Vosseller Gutman added.

Continued From Page 1 Galbreath said he knows Mayor Kenneth Palmer is aware of the problem because he also lives in the Pine Lake Park section of the township near the intersection. “There are really three bad areas in the town when it comes to accidents, Broadway, First Avenue and this intersection. There have been plenty of times that I have taken that intersection and it is hard to see with the way the homes are situated. It is a hard intersection to turn on and many drivers are just moving too fast and I guess are trying to get home quicker,” Galbreath said. The resident has gotten a lot of support from those in his neighborhood who said commented on a Manchester Facebook page and got the conversation going about taking action on getting a traﬃc light at the busy intersection. “I’ve been told there has never been a traﬃc study done of that intersection. I don’t know if that is true,” Galbreath said.

The Manchester Times, February 29, 2020, Page 7 The resident said he’s thinking of going before the council at a future meeting with his petition. “I want to get more involved. I have a wife and a 14-month-old and Manchester is a good town. I just want to see it be a bit safer,” Galbreath said. Township Mayor Kenneth Palmer said he understands Galbreath’s frustration. He recapped the history of the problem intersection saying, “we have petitioned the county in the past, about four years ago and they felt the traffic ‘warrants’ did not justify a light at this intersection.” “That’s when the county installed the rumble strips and the flashing stop signs. We have recently petitioned the county again with updated traffic information and accident related information,” Palmer added. The mayor said the county is presently doing an additional traffic survey. “I am expecting their results within the next couple of weeks. Hopefully, the new data will support a light. If not, I may want to help (Galbreath) get some more signatures for that petition.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

E DITORIAL A Vacation From Social Media I recently took a week off to take my family to Disney and Universal. I lear ned that being without social media really is “the happiest place on earth.” Now, I did upload my pictures from the day to Facebook at night. And I did check in for a political update since the Iowa caucus was that week. But I didn’t l i nge r on Fa cebook or Twit ter, absently scroll i ng t h roug h a barrage of posts. You know what? It felt good! So good , i n fa ct , that I still haven’t resumed my social media habits. There were times I’d crash on the couch af ter a tough day and catch up to what my friends were doing on Facebook, or find something funny on Twitter (I follow mostly comedians and cartoonists, that way there’s always something funny to counter the bad news.) Usually, when that happens, though, suddenly half an hour has gone by and I’ve got nothing to show for it. In addition to it suck-

ing up free time, it consumes emotional energy. With social media, every single problem is right outside your door. Most of these problems are things you can’t do anything about (especially not while sitting on your couch). A lot of these problems won’t be a big deal in another day. Maybe not even another hour. The 24hour crisis factory will have chur ned something else out by then. Try this experiment: go without social media for a week. This doe sn’t cou nt st u f f you do for work. Just your personal pages. You’ll find that you’ll b e h ap pie r, mor e open-m i nded , more productive, and your neck won’t hurt from being hunched over a little phone. Instead of letting other people’s thoughts bounce around in your brain, take a “stay-cation” and stay in your own head for a while. Chris Lundy News Editor

Home Rule Leads To Corrupt Rule It is in the national news that a lot of cor r uption exists in New Jersey, with eight cases of small town cor r uption in different places in New Jersey making the headlines. Why would anyone be surprised? New Jersey has over 550 different towns, over 550 governing bodies that make decisions and pass laws, hundreds and hundreds of school boards, over 550 police forces that have highly paid police officers who make decisions, over 500 mu nicipal cou r ts, over 550 zoning boards and or planning boards that allow or disallow developments and grant permits, hund reds and hu nd reds of political parties on a local and count y level yada, yada, yada. Do you get it? There is a lot of opportunity for people with power to be motivated to do things, and sometimes the illegal things. There is much more opportunity with all these individual entities within New Jersey’s hu nd reds and hundreds of towns and school boards etc. There should have been consolidation many years ago, and still, New Jersey is good old “home rule.” With this amount of home rule, there will always be more opportunity for “corruption.” It is that simple, and should be no surprise to anyone.

Kate Gibbs Can Beat Andy Kim Kate Gibbs has my unwavering support for Congress in the 3rd Congressional District. She is a strong Republican woman with a successful track record of job creation in the private sector as a labor union leader and also as

Letters To young The Freeholder in Burlington peopleEditor and women by the fact that there was County. Kate has the endorsement of the Burlington County GOP, Assembly members Jean Stanfield and Ryan Peters as well as loads of other local Republican leaders. Kate is also on the National Republican Congressional Committee’s Young Guns List. Despite the groundswell of support that Kate Gibbs has received, another candidate named David Richter recently announced his intention to run against Gibbs. Unlike David Richter, Kate was born and raised in the 3rd Congressional Dist r ict. Un li ke David Richter, Kate doesn’t give up when the f ight gets tough. Here’s what happened: Richter was originally running in the 2nd Cong ressional Dist r ict against Van Drew but once party leaders decided not to support him, he packed up and moved to the 3rd District. Local Republican leaders were quick to condemn Richter’s latest district switch and came to Kate G ibbs’ defe n se. Sout h Toms River Republican Councilman Thomas Rolzhausen recently said “Kate Gibbs is the best candidate to beat A ndy K im. We as Republicans, need to get together and support one candidate and don’t run a primary. We need all Republicans to win. We need to save valuable money and use it to fight Democrats not fellow Republicans. United we stand divided we fall. Kate Gibbs for Congress!” Aside from being a great p e r son a nd ca nd id at e, Kate Gibbs can also raise the money needed to beat Andy Kim. She has proven that she can win in tough winnable elections. David R ichter t r y i ng to push Kate Gibbs out of the race is a terrible look for the Republican Par t y. At a t i me when t he Re pub lican Par ty needs more

to run for oﬃce it would be a disaster for the GOP if Gibbs was denied the nomination. David Richter is everything that is wrong with the Republican Party and Kate Gibbs is the kind of candidate we need as a party to be successful in future elections! Vote for Kate Gibbs on June 2, and Nov. 3. Dana McDonald Brick

Seniors Lose Money, Immigrants Don’t A recent article spoke of cuts to New Jersey senior programs of about $700,000+ (“County Challenges State On Senior Funding Loss,” Feb. 1). There are cuts to programs for New Jersey and USA venerable citizen seniors while New Jersey added $1M+ to the existing $1M+ for illegal aliens. When will Democrats learn the cost of the Democratic governors and Democratic presidential candidates existing and proposed programs come at direct cost to lower and middle classes and NOT the top 1-10% as they say. This is a perfect example. Joseph Cannatelli Barnegat

All Is Not Well In Iran “All is well,” proclaimed Donald Trump shortly after the assassination of Qassem Soleimani and Iran’s faint-hearted attempt to r e t a l i a t e by a t t a ck i ng American military bases. He was no doubt cheered

no American bloodshed. But were there really no casualties? Some 176 innocent people met violent deaths when their Ukrainian air plane was shot down by Iranian forces; another fi fty civilians were trampled to death during the mourning ceremonies in Tehran. All of these people would still be alive if it were not for a careless, purely political decision made by the churlish buffoon in the oval oﬃce. Michael J. Doherty Berkeley

Andy Kim Protects Health Care Unlike his predecessor representing the 3rd Congressional District, Congressman Andy Kim offers legislative updates and takes questions from all comers at monthly town hall meetings throughout the district-from the Delaware River to the Atlantic Ocean. Congressman Kim works methodically on legislation to improve health insurance coverage, things such as lower drug costs for seniors and protections for provisions that outlaw preexisting condition exclusions. While the Republican establishment is quietly and systematically dismantling the health insurance of thousands through regulator y changes and court challenges to benefit the industry, Andy Kim is squarely on the side of consumers.

Package Of Bills Promise State Ethics Reforms From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON – Building on his longt e r m c om m it me nt t o ch a ng i ng t he political culture in Trenton, Governor Phil Murphy unveiled a sweeping set of ethics proposals to strengthen restrictions on lobbying, enhance financial disclosure requirements, and increase transparency in the legislative process. The legislative package, which follows Governor Murphy’s call for action in his State of the State address in January, will have bipartisan sponsors in the Senate and the Assembly, including Senator Richard Codey, Senator Chris Brown, and Assemblyman Ryan Peters. “When I ran for Governor, I pledged that if elected, I would make ever y decision based on what is best for the people of New Jer sey, not Trenton insiders,” said Governor Murphy. “At a time when public cy nicism about gover n ment is all too com mon, we must restore the public’s confidence by making government more transparent and accountable than ever. For the first time in a decade, we are proposing comprehensive ethics reforms to ensure that elected officials are serving the

public interest, not the special interests.” Alongside bipar tisan partners in the Legislature, Governor Murphy announced a comprehensive legislative package outlining wide-ranging new ethics rules in New Jersey. The five bills contained in the package will address the following: • Lobbying Reform: The bill will target the shadow lobbying industry by requiring lobbying firms and companies that hire lobbyists to disclose when they hire a person or firm to provide professional services other than lobbying, a proposal that was introduced by Senate President Sweeney last session. This bill will also reduce the threshold for individuals to register as governmental affairs agents from 20 hours of lobbying activities per calendar year to one hour per calendar year. • Eliminating Legislative Exemption to OPRA: The bill will remove the very broad legislative exemption to OPRA that exempts all communications for the use of a legislative member in the course of their official duties. Eliminating this exemption ensures that the executive branch and legislative branch would operate under the same rules. • Aligning Gift and Outside Income Rules: Currently, legislators and legislative staff are permitted to accept (Reforms - See Page 11)

Continued From Page 10 gifts as long as they do not know or have reason to believe that the gif t is offered to them to inf luence the performance of their public duties or responsibilities. This bill would subject legislators and legislative staff to the same standard that currently governs executive branch employees, who are proh ibited f rom accept i ng any gif t related in any way to the employee’s public duties. Additionally, this bill will also prevent high-level legislative staff from receiving outside income unless they seek review and approval by the Joint Legislative Committee on Ethical Standards. Under current state law, designated senior staff members in the Governor’s Office cannot receive outside income unless they seek review and approval by the State Ethics Commission. Lastly, the bill will require legislators and all executive and legislative branch employees earning $100,000 or more per year to fill out the detailed financial disclosure form promulgated by the State Ethics Commission. • Extending the Cooling Off Period: New Jersey’s “cooling off ” per iod, which statutorily applies to the Governor, Cabinet, and legislators, is currently one year, meaning those officials must wait a full year after leaving their jobs before being able to register as lobbyists. The bill extends this cooling

The Manchester Times, February 29, 2020, Page 11 off period from one year to two years and applies it to all executive and legislative branch staff earning $100,000 or more per year as a matter of law. A number of states, including New York, Colorado, and Alabama, have two-year prohibitions, par tially based on the rationale that a two-year cooling off period ensures that a former official will not be lobbying during the same legislative session when they were in

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE The Goddard School Hosts Open House

TOMS RIVER – The Goddard School will be hosting an open house on March 14 from 9 to 11 a.m. The infant and first steps programs offer caring and supportive teachers fostering social-emotional development through nurturing relationships with the children while babies develop physical skills as they learn to move and manipulate toys. As young learners begin to walk and talk regularly, their curiosity drives them to explore. The toddler and get set classrooms foster children’s developing independence by helping them hone valuable skills, such as the abilities to collaborate and communicate. In the preschool classroom, children develop perseverance by engaging in learning activities and sticking with them until they solve the problem or complete the project. Young learners continue their journey of

exploration and discovery in our pre-kindergarten classroom. Teachers help them apply their developing literacy and math skills through purposeful, planned learning experiences. The F.L.EX. Learning Program (Fun Learning Experience) is grounded in research on how children learn best: children experience the deepest, most genuine learning when they are having fun. It’s designed to help build each child’s emotional, academic, social, creative and physical skills to provide a well-rounded experience. The accredited, play-based curriculum is enhanced with a wide range of enrichment programs such as manners, fitness & yoga, music appreciation, computer skills, science & math and foreign & sign language.

Budget:

Continued From Page 1 and it’s not an easy process,” he said. Kelly noted that the budget was made available for viewing on the county website. This year’s tax rate was reduced by a half a cent which marked the fourth consecutive year that the tax rate has gone down. “This ties in to an important pledge we made to our citizens following Superstorm Sandy in October of 2012. That storm resulted in a staggering loss of property values totaling more than $11 billion. This board promised then and now as we see the tax ratables grow we will continue to reduce the county tax rate,” he said. The ratable base is the total valuation of all county property. It’s all the buildings and all the land added together. It increases as buildings are developed. “This year our ratable tax rate stands at $107 billion which is $4 billion more than last year’s total of $103 billion. We anticipate that growth will continue in the future and we truly believe that next year for the first time, since 2009 we will completely replace all the loss of Hurricane Sandy and probably a little more. I can say with some confidence that the tax rate in Ocean County will continue to go down,” Kelly said. The budget was said to feature a “very healthy surplus while using $36.8 million this year we have left appropriate reser ves for f ut u re budgets,” Kelly added, saying a strong surplus is key in maintaining Ocean County’s AAA bond rating which allows the county to secure historically low interest rates on its debt service. This year the county will be saving $2 million in debt service due to the rating and refunding bonds. Kelly explained that refunding bonds is no different than refinancing a home mortgage at a better interest rate. “This

budget funds all of our core and essential programs that we provide to the over 600,000 people that call Ocean County home. Like all our budgets, we will continue to meet the required 2% state mandated spending cap.” Around $129 million has been put aside this year to finance 29 construction projects that are slated to be finished over the next three years. They include the building of a new Ocean County Board of Social Services complex in Toms River in the amount of $47.1 million, the replacement of the Colonial Drive South Bridge and North Bridge in Manchester at a price tag of $5 million and construction of T-shaped hangars at the Robert J. Miller Airpark in Berkeley Township at $3 million. Waretown will also see the $2 million renovation of Wells Mills Nature Center. The budget earmarks $74.3 million for law enforcement in the county, $25.5 million to maintain roads and bridges in the county and $20. 2 million to be used for social activities that will see $39.2 million expected to be added by the state and federal governments. Board members noted that $19.6 million would go the Ocean County Vocational Technical School district, $16 million for Ocean County College and $7 million for parks and recreation. As Ocean County has the largest senior population in the state, it was noted that $3.5 million would go toward senior ser vices, with an $4.2 million more expected from the state and federal governments. The board voted unanimously to approve the budget’s introduction. The Board’s March 18 meeting, which will include a public hearing and adoption of the budget, will start at 4 p.m. and will be held in the first-f loor meeting room of the Ocean County Administration Building at 101 Hooper Ave. Toms River.

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.

Cold Laser Therapy is a painless way to kick-start the healing process to reduce recovery time.

Reality Check

Hearing loss is the third most prevalent condition among elderly Americans, behind high blood pressure and arthritis. While most people undergo blood pressure testing and treat their sore joints, few elderly individuals undergo hearing tests. When people do acknowledge a hearing problem, they usually do so at their spouse’s insistence. Why? In most cases, hearing loss develops so gradually that many sufferers do not realize that they have a problem. More than 90 percent of hearing loss is sensorineural (no deaf ness), which t y pically results from damage to the hair cells of the cochlea. This type of hearing loss is characterized by an inability to hear high frequency sounds and can be greatly improved with the help of a hearing instrument. Hearing breaks down into two basic

parts – threshold, the ability to perceive how loud sound is (volume), and discrimination, an ability to perceive how high or low it is (pitch). Sound moves in waves (cycles), and Hertz describes the frequency of those cycles. The higher the frequency, the more cycles, the greater the number of Hertz, the higher the pitch. Age-related hearing loss most often starts with deficits in discrimination because the ear loses its ability to register high frequency sounds. As a result, sounds formed by some consonants and blended consonants, such as “F” and “SH” which are uttered at higher pitch than vowel sounds, tend to sound alike. This is an indication of hearing loss. Remember, many people with age-related hearing loss say they can hear just fine. They just do not understand what is being said.

Stay Safe By Identifying Hidden Food & Drug Allergies

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Adults can tell pretty easily if they react to a specific food but it may go unrecognized in kids. Symptoms associated with food allergies vary greatly from individual to individual. Most people know about skin rash, hives, itch or tingly sensation in the mouth and lip/tongue swelling. Also, abdominal cramps or swelling of the throat and/or vocal cords. Here are some other symptoms: • Flushed or hot skin • Diarrhea • Nausea (or vomiting) • Coughing, sneezing or wheezing • Dizziness • Fainting or Lightheadedness If you experience any of these symptoms, get help. Taking Benadryl isn’t the answer for everyone, some people need emergency medical care, an inhaler to help breath or an EpiPen, and/or a Medrol Dosepak (or steroid equivalent). Here are some common food allergens to look out for: Peanuts. Peanuts are highly allergenic to millions of people, so I’ve always thought it was in poor taste to serve them on planes. Southwest Airlines stopped doing on August 1, 2018. Good for them! There is peanut oil in the medication “Prometrium” and Depakene® (Valproic Acid, a drug used for seizures and nerve pain). Hidden sources of peanuts include marzipan, beer nuts, nougat and weirdly, artificial nuts! FYI, the first peanut antidote type of medication was just FDA approved (January 2020) and it is called Palforzia. Eggs. Obviously, you can avoid eggs for breakfast as well as quiche, but did you know you should also read labels and probably avoid many baked goodies, some canned soups, frosting, mayonnaise, marshmallows, meatloaf and cer-

tain brands of coffee drink foam and ice cream! The surgical sleep-inducing anesthetic called “propofol” contains egg proteins (as well as -based ingredients). Fish & Shellfish. This type of allergy usually causes breathing diﬃculties and can be very severe. Hidden sources of fish-based ingredients are found in Worcestershire sauce, Caesar dressing, surimi and caviar. As for shellfish, think of lobster, crab, prawns, shrimp and crawfish. You will need to avoid glucosamine as well, because this is derived from shellfish. Tropomycin is the most predominant compound in shellfish that people are allergic to, and may cause you to feel faint, lightheaded, dizzy or foggy. This may ruin your appetite for lobster and crab but just so you know, tropomycin is also common in cockroaches! Milk. Allergies to milk are due to the protein called “casein.” Milk alternatives on occasion have dairy-derived whey protein in them, which fools people into thinking their safe when they’re laden with milk-derived proteins. So, check your label on pea, oat, soy, almond, coconut or flax milk just to be 100% sure it doesn’t have any milk-derived allergens in it. You know the obvious ones to avoid like cow’s milk, ice cream, butter, cow’s milk-based cheese, sour cream, cream cheese and yogurt. But dairy hides in deli meats, gravy, baked goods and batter-fried foods. Some breathing medications/inhalers such as Advair Diskus, Flovent Diskus, Asmanex and Pulmicort contain lactose monohydrate which contains milk proteins like casein. So be aware of this if you’re treating a milk/dairy allergic reaction with an inhaler that contains trace amounts of it! For a more comprehensive list of food and drug allergens, read the longer version of this article at my website, suzycohen.com

Vetwork Lends A Helping Hand To Veterans By Wendy McClure LACEY − Originally started as the Ocean County POW/MIA Organization in 1984, Vetwork is helping veterans get on their feet. Their mission is to meet the immediate and long-term needs of lower income veterans. The main goal is to provide a continuum

of care to enable veterans to maintain and achieve self-suﬃciency. They offer, however, anything and everything they can to satisfy a need. Bernard Snyder is a retired Lacey Township Police detective and serves on the board for Vetwork. He explained the type of situations that he has witnessed through the

years. Offering rides to and from Veterans Administration hospitals is a big part of their services, but there is so much more. Snyder recalled a local woman who suffered a foot wound during her enlistment but never had it treated. She was set to pay for surgery that would repair her foot, asking Vetwork to help with other bills.

Counselors were able to help her file a claim that would cover the whole procedure. They also offer services for those suffering with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. If someone comes to them and needs immediate assistance, they will refer them to the clinic in Brick that specializes in such matters and likely give them a ride. Or they offer referrals to those who are searching for someone to talk to on a regular basis. They can offer help when someone may find themselves without a place to stay for the night. There is a food bank on site to meet immediate demand. They have back packs people can grab that will supply them with needed essentials like; towels, scarves, toothpaste and shampoo. These packs are donated by organizations like the VFW, the Moose or Elks lodge. They also offer to cover burial costs for those who have no family. They even have a bicycle for a homeless vet who requested it. Snyder proudly tells the story of meeting a man who had stopped by for some food during his trek that started in Connecticut. Asked if he needed anything at all, a bike was requested. After one was found and supplied, the man was so grateful he made a set of rosary beads out of parachute cord as a gift for the volunteer. He said his wife took the rosary to their church and people wanted to get their own set, but the man had already moved on. (Veterans - See Page 32)

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Neighbors Who Care… Too Much

Dear Joel, My husband and I have lived in our 55 and over community for the past ten years. Our neighbors who are in their upper 70’s have been our friends since we moved in, welcoming us from day one. In the past year, their health has declined as well as their mobility; they struggle with everyday tasks. My husband and I help as much as we can, providing transportation to doctors, supermarkets, etc. whenever possible. The couple has two grown children, but they both live out of state. We’ve spoken to both about relocating their parents to an assisted living facility, but we haven’t made much headway. In the meantime, we have become somewhat responsible for the couple, a responsibility that is slowly becoming a burden. We love them dearly, but we have our own family to care for. Do you have any suggestions on how to handle this delicate situation? Answer: First let me commend you and your husband for being good neighbors, good friends, and good humans. What you are doing is not easy. I suggest that you and your

husband speak frankly to your neighbors and express your concern for their well-being. Let them know that although you want to help as much as possible, you are not always available. Assure them that you and your husband will help them connect with senior service organizations who can provide information on transportation, meal service, and housing alternatives, as well as investigating what your 55 and over community offers. Your friends may not be completely truthful with their children, so it’s important for you to have direct conversations with them to keep them informed. Don’t hesitate to remind them that while you and your husband care for their parents, you cannot provide the level of care they require daily, and something must be done sooner rather than later. Thank you for writing. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM.

Snyder was sad that he wasn’t able to give the man the opportunity to make some money along the way. How To Help The big dilemma for Vetwork now is they have lost funding. They were able to use a grant in the past to pay employees and cover operating expenses, but they weren’t able to secure the funding this year. They have had to limit the number of hours of being available in person due to this shortage. They are more dependent on corporate sponsorships and donations in order to keep serving the needs of Ocean County veterans. Snyder

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Medical Center Introduces Technology For Diagnosing Heart Disease

LAKEWOOD – Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus is the first hospital in the region to offer HeartFlow® Fractional Flow Reserve Computed Tomography (FFR-CT), an advanced, noninvasive technology that enables physicians to determine whether a patient has heart disease. FFR-CT is very low risk and provides accurate information about conditions of the arteries. This new technology is beneficial for patients who may have heart disease and are experiencing symptoms of chest pain and shortness of breath. HeartFlow® technology with FFR-CT calculates how blood is flowing through the coronary arteries and helps physicians identify whether a patient has coronary ar-

tery disease before undergoing invasive and possibly unnecessary catheter-based testing. It can also assess whether a specific plaque in a coronary artery is restricting blood flow, helping physicians determine whether a patient would benefit from stents or bypass surgery. HeartFlow® FFR-CT provides an astonishingly sharp, three-dimensional digital image of blood vessels. “The ability to reduce invasive and potentially unnecessary coronary angiograms with a single comprehensive and noninvasive diagnostic test is an important advancement for patients,” says Frank J. Vozos, M.D., FACS, Executive Vice President, RWJBarnabas Health and Chief Executive at MMCSC. “I’m extremely proud that MMCSC is one of the first hospitals in the area to provide this technology to Monmouth and Ocean County residents.” “We can determine, vessel by vessel, both the extent of an artery’s narrowing and the impact that the narrowing has on blood flow to the heart,” explains Rajesh Mohan, MD, MBA, FACC, FSCAI, Chief Medical Oﬃcer who is also an interventional cardiologist. “This cutting-edge technology uses sophisticated software that combines blood flow with the anatomy of the heart to determine the significance of blockages, if any, with great accuracy and helps doctors determine what types of interventions, are necessary. Most importantly, the introduction of this new technology will combine human intelligence and artificial intelligence to help the vast majority of patients avoid unnecessary invasive testing,” says Dr. Mohan In addition to helping physicians’ direct patients to the most appropriate care, HeartFlow®FFR-CT technology also provides a better patient experience and reduces costs associated with unnecessary testing. For more information on HeartFlow®FFR-CT technology, visit r wjbh.org/ monmouthsouth.com

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of feb 29 - mar 6 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your warm, friendly overtures can delight some people but might cause others to think you are being insincere. You may receive compliments and publicity in the early part of the week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can rock in the role of the brilliant entrepreneur. Sweeten business deals by using smart strategies paired with a pleasant attitude as the week flies by. If you need to be tough on the outside, remain soft-hearted inside. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The calm voice of reason should overcome agitation. Loved ones could admire little things or seem overly sentimental.

Spring Ahead With Vegetarian Chili By Wolfgang Puck “Spring ahead! Fall back!” That’s the simple memory device we’ve all been taught to remember which way to reset our clocks when daylight saving time begins (on the second Sunday in March) or ends (on the first Sunday in November). The practice aims to give people an extra hour of sunlight after their working days during springtime and summer. I always think of daylight saving time’s arrival as a sign that the bounty of spring, beginning March 19, will soon be filling up the stalls in farmers’ markets. Yet, I’m also aware that we’re still in the middle of winter, and bitter cold spells and even snow can still suddenly come in early March - something I’ve been well aware of ever since my two oldest sons chose to pursue their university educations in Massachusetts and upstate New York. So at this time of year, I like to think about preparing dishes that still have the power to warm us up and comfort us if the weather turns chilly, yet still hold hints of the sunnier, warmer, longer days soon to come. And today I’d like to share that exact type of dish in my recipe for vegetarian three-bean and quinoa chili. Any bean stew such as this one is, of course, a perfect choice to cook when the weather is threatening outside. It calls for long, gentle stovetop simmering, which transforms the kitchen into a warming, welcoming place and fills the entire house with rich aromas. The chile peppers that season the stew add their own uniquely warm flavor to the mixture; though I quickly have to add that this recipe isn’t overly spicy, and you can certainly cut back on the chile quantities if you prefer milder results. The beans themselves are a perfect example of the kind of stick-to-your-ribs food that will keep you feeling warm and satisfied for hours. And the quinoa, an ancient Incan grain that has become widely available and popular in recent years, adds more sustenance, being higher in protein and dietary fiber than brown rice. But what about spring flavors? Look first to the fact that this is a vegetarian recipe, so it will very likely taste to you - and rest in your stomach - far lighter than traditional meaty versions of the dish. Lighter, brighter elements of the dish, including a generous amount of fresh lime juice and garnishes such as tomato salsa, sliced avocado, green onion and cilantro, also evoke warmer months. The result is a surprisingly fresh-tasting, healthy chili that is not only a perfect way to welcome spring but also an ideal dish to enjoy as you start thinking of getting into shape for swimsuit season, which is just months away. VEGETARIAN THREE-BEAN AND QUINOA CHILI Serves 8 to 10 1 pound (500 g) dried white beans 1 pound (500 g) dried black beans 1 pound (500 g) pinto beans

3 dried guajillo chiles 1/2 cup (125 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup (250 mL) finely diced yellow onion 2 tablespoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons ground cumin 2 tablespoons pure chile powder 1 cup (250 mL) tomato paste 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) canned crushed tomatoes 3 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more to taste 1 1/2 gallons (5.75 L) vegetable stock 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) quinoa 2 jalapeno chiles, halved, stemmed, seeded and deveined, and minced 1/2 cup (125 mL) fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup 3 ripe Hass avocados, halved, pitted, peeled and sliced, for garnish 1 cup (250 mL) sour cream, for garnish 1 cup (250 mL) chopped green onion, for garnish 1 cup (250 mL) chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish 1 cup (250 mL) prepared tomato salsa, for garnish 3/4 cup (185 mL) thinly sliced fresh jalapeno chiles, or pickled jalapenos, for garnish The night before you cook, pick through each batch of beans, removing any debris or misshapen beans. Rinse the beans put into separate large bowls, and add cold water to cover by at least 2 inches (5 cm). Leave to soak overnight, adding water as needed to keep the beans covered. The next day, put the guajillo chiles in a bowl, add enough hot water to cover, and leave to soak for 20 minutes. Drain. Carefully slit open the guajillos, and remove the seeds. Put the guajillos and a little soaking liquid in a blender, and puree to a paste. Transfer to a bowl, and set aside. Drain the beans, and set aside. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil and onion, and saute, stirring occasionally, until the onion turns translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and saute briefly until fragrant. Stir in the cumin and chile powder. Stir in the tomato paste, and saute, stirring until it darkens slightly, about 30 seconds. Add the drained soaked beans. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, with their juices, the guajillo puree, salt, and enough vegetable stock to submerge the beans completely. Cover the pot securely and cook, adjusting the heat to maintain a simmer, until the beans are cooked through and tender but still firm and whole, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in the quinoa, cover, and cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes, adding more stock if needed. Stir in the minced jalapenos, lime juice and maple syrup. Simmer, uncovered, over low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring often. Taste and, if needed, add a little more salt. Arrange the avocado, sour cream, green onion, cilantro, salsa and sliced fresh or pickled jalapenos in bowls to serve as garnishes. Ladle the chili into individual serving bowls, inviting guests to garnish their servings to taste.
