voting machines and Dominion Voting Systems. The county is purchasing the new machines for upcoming elect ions. T he new voting machines are required due to a state mandate. The county currently uses the Sequoia Voting Systems
AVC Advantage Voting Machine which need to be replaced because they are fully electronic but don’t have a paper backup for each individual vote. Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation on March 30 that requires voting machines
which produce a voter-verifiable paper ballot, which allows for an election audit to do a 100% match with cast ballots. During a recent meeting of the Board of Commissioners, Philip Nufrio, a Democrat candidate for County (Election - See Page 5)

Former Councilman Frattini Dies At Age 92
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Former Councilman Charles L. Frattini died on August 28 leaving behind a legacy of public service. Frattini, 92, served on the Township Council from January 2013 until April 30, 2019, and was the previous president of the Leisure Village West Board of Trustees where he and his wife Mary lived. He was a US Marine Corps veteran and retired as a career photojournalist for the N.Y. Daily News. The former councilman is survived by his wife Mary of 68 years, four children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Flags will be flown at half-mast this week in his honor. He was born in Brooklyn, NY, on September 20, 1928 and grew up there. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1945. He took pride in being a Marine, serving in China during (Frattini - See Page 4)
School Board Wants Murphy To Drop Mask Order
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Like several other New Jersey school districts, the township school board wants to see Governor Phil Murphy reverse his stance on mandatory mask wearing in schools. “On behalf of our parents and students (we) respectfully ask that you rescind Executive Order 251 in time for the start of the 2021-22 school year,” School Board President James K. Pate said in his letter to the governor on behalf of the rest of the board. The letter adds that the Board wants to see the governor “allow each school district to make a determination on whether students, staff, and visitors should be required to wear (Mask - See Page 5)

Continued From Page 1 Operation Allies Refuge is an effort first announced in July to support relocations of those Afghans interested and eligible along with their immediate families who supported the U.S. Government. At the direction of the Department of State, due to privacy considerations, military installations in the United States hosting newly arrived Afghans are closed to the news media. The spokesman added, “the Department of State has the lead regarding the immigration processing of the Afghans at our stateside

Continued From Page 1 WWII. After his discharge, he attended Champlain College, majoring in journalism and then returned to Brooklyn where he met his future wife who shared his September 20 birthday. “My grandfather was one of a kind, a solid rock and the root of our family tree. He was the strongest man I know, never complaining about anything. Grandpa was knowledgeable in all things trivia. He loved teaching his great-grandchildren about the values in life from family and education to work and morals, as well all things in between,” Theresa Gibilsco said. She added that “he was quite opinionated and ruled with an iron fist, yet gentle in his love and care. His steadfast spirit will be missed tremendously and the thing that will be cherished and remembered most was his genuine and
military bases.” “In support of DOS, U.S. Northern Command is the lead combatant command for the efforts here in the United States and our respective Task Forces at these installations are providing to the Afghan evacuees temporary lodging and basic needs, transportation, and medical screening services, in a safe and secure environment,” the statement added. Governor Phil Murphy said that Afghan refugees would be cycled through Dulles Airport Virginia and later transported to the joint bases. “We’re honored to do our part.” The governor sent a letter to President Joe Biden requesting that refugees be sent to New Jersey.
The refugees will be provided essential support and will complete a special immigrant visa process. The Taliban takeover led to a quick exodus of people from Afghanistan after their government fell. Thousands of people were evacuated via Kabul airport since the beginning of the rescue effort on August 22. Those evacuated include a mix of western government staff, agency workers and Afghan residents who worked with western governments. This includes those who are perceived to be at risk due to the nature of their work such as translators, human rights activists and journalists. The United Kingdom and Germany have also
been involved with rescuing over a thousand evacuees. Turkey removed 550 people while France and Italy evacuated around 500 people. Other countries included Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Poland and Switzerland. According to the United Nations refugee agency, more than 550,000 Afghans have been internally displaced since January. Around 3 million people left since the start of the year and around 300,000 left their homes due to the security conditions in the last two weeks. The Taliban refused a request by U.S. officials to extend the August 30 deadline which would have allowed for more time for the exodus.
unfaltering love for my grandmother, Mary.” They were also married on September 20, completing the “perfect match.” He lived in Brooklyn, Staten Island, Damascus (PA), and in 1997 he and his wife moved to Leisure Village West in Manchester. Frattini was an award-winning photojournalist for the New York Daily News, where he worked for his entire career. One of his proudest achievements was presiding over and chairing the first Catholic-Jewish Dialogue Committee in the United States in the early 1960s, which because of its success, became a role model in ecumenism for the entire country. He was elected Trustee for Leisure Village West, serving several terms, and was an active volunteer holding leadership positions in several LVW clubs. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus. In 2012 and 2016, he successfully ran for Township Council and
served in that position until 2019. “Charles Frattini was a great Councilman, a gentleman, a friend, sincere, ethical, a real team player and he always had all the residents of Manchester Township in his heart and thoughts,” said Council President James Vaccaro, who was his running mate in 2012 and 2016. “He achieved his goals of helping keep Manchester Township a great and safe community for both the seniors and the young families to reside.” His greatest joys in life were his wife, his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. He had a very positive outlook in life and was described by family and friends as someone who would look on the bright side of things despite suffering from constant debilitating pain. Frattini will be fondly remembered by all who knew him which includes his wife and
four children: Marianne (Ed) Striedl, Ellen (Regina) Frattini, Frank (Teresa) Frattini, and Charles (Emily) Frattini, Jr.; his five grandchildren: Joseph, Theresa (Tony), Suzanne (Dallas), Charles III, and Marc; his seven great-grandchildren: Angela, Anthony, Andrew, Alexander, Adam, Elizabeth, and Ridge; his sister-in-law, Sister Theresa Baldini, M.M.; and his nieces and nephews. Charles was predeceased by his parents, Frank and Helen (Longabardi) Frattini; his sister, Maria Maddalena; and his sister-in-law, Connie Doyle-Jovais. His family would like to thank the staff of Grace Hospice and Rose Garden Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for their exceptional care. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in his memory to Sister Theresa Baldini, Maryknoll Sisters of St. Dominic, PO Box 311, Maryknoll, New York, 10545-0311.

Continued From Page 1 masks at school. The Board of Education understands that Executive Order 251 has the force and effect of law and our district will abide by the current mandate as required if not rescinded.” State and local medical professionals have called for the use of masks in school because people who are vaccinated can still be carriers of the virus. They might not even have symptoms and can still transmit COVID-19. According to the Centers for Disease Control, masks have been found to protect other people from any possible virus you might not know you have, in addition to protecting you from other people. “The Manchester Township Board of Education fully understands the need for

He also stated campaign finance reports showed Colabella and Block received $11,400 in combined campaign donations from Adam Perna and his company, Election Graphics. Nufrio said staff from the Ocean County Board of Elections recommended purchasing the voting machines from ES&S and on June 21, the Board of Elections Commis-
The Manchester Times, September 4, 2021, Page 5 students and staff to have a safe and healthy environment for learning. We take this responsibility seriously and have collaborated with stakeholders in the district to develop a safe reopening plan suitable for our community. We will continue to implement many of the safeguards that have been in place since the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year to maintain that safe environment,” Pate said in his letter. “However, many of our students and staff have experienced difficulties with mask wearing including loss of meaningful interactions between staff and students which had a negative effect on students, particularly in the elementary schools. Parents have also complained about health issues related to their child wearing a mask for extended periods of time. Last year, for a brief time when the mask mandate was relaxed due to
excessive heat, there was a positive effect on our students, staff and parents while having no significant change or increased transmission of COVID-19,” the letter adds. Pate also wrote that, “we are confident that the safety protocols that remained in place and the rising number of vaccinated individuals in the community allowed for transmission to continue to diminish, even after the mask mandate was relaxed. Our district worked cooperatively with the Ocean County Board of Health to provide a community site to offer the vaccine for our staff and the response was a significant increase in staff vaccinations.” The letter states that while the Manchester Board of Education fully understands “the responsibility you have as a governor and our district also has for maintaining a safe environment for everyone. Although out-
breaks in schools can occur, multiple studies have shown that transmission within school settings is typically lower than – or at least similar to – levels of community transmission, when prevention strategies are in place in schools. We will continue to monitor our district and community health issues and work with our county board of health and would not hesitate to take additional health measures to respond to any negative situation.” The Board’s letter concludes noting that as a result of Executive Order 251, local authority has been diminished; the local officials have less control over how best to serve their communities. Manchester joined several local school districts who have been sending these letters together as a show of solidarity, including Central Regional, Jackson, Lacey and Brick.
sioners voted to purchase the ES&S voting machines, based on the recommendation of their professional staff. He also said Perna represented Dominion at multiple meetings with the Board of Elections, including a May 4 session that was not open to the public. During that meeting the Dominion machines were demonstrated to Election Supervisors and IT staff. Nufrio accused the Board of pay to play, saying the contract was worth $10 million which could be awarded to Dominion Voting Systems at the August 18 County Commissioners meeting. His running mate,
Rita Kopacz, also attended that meeting. He added that while the Board of Elections voted to purchase the ES&S machines, the “commissioners have chosen to ignore their choice so that you can award the contract to Dominion. Why would you do this? Well, according to the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission, a representative of Dominion has contributed $96,800 to the campaigns of Commissioners (Joseph) Vicari, (Virginia) Haines, (Jack) Kelly, (Gerry) Little, and (Gary) Quinn.” Nufrio stated, “I have done some research on my own and have found no such contri-
butions from ES&S to the commissioners. It seems to me that you are planning to ignore the bi-partisan Board of Elections recommendations and choice of ES&S in order to purchase voting machines from Dominion, after you received $96,800. I find this to be a blatant conflict of interest.” The candidate called for the Board to “reconsider your decision and recuse yourself or else return the money you received in campaign contributions from Dominion. This is a question of ethical integrity and the integrity of our elections,” Nufrio added.

Election:
Continued From Page 5 He said that Perna and his company Election Graphics have donated in total, $134,200 to currently elected Ocean County officials and administrators, including Colabella ($6,800), Block ($4,600), County Surrogate Jeffrey Moran ($13,000), County Sheriff Michael Mastronardi ($13,000) and County Commissioners ($96,800 total) Joseph Vicari, Virginia Haines, Jack Kelly, Gerry Little, and Gary Quinn.” Nufrio also said that during a June 21Board of Elections public meeting, professional staff raised concerns about the Dominion voting machines including voter privacy, the reliability of the printers, and operational use. According to Nufrio, the Board of Elections staff noted that the ES&S machines were better than those of Dominion and easier for the voter to use. Staff also noted that the Dominion voting machine printers are typically used for a home office and the process of moving the machines in the back of a truck could result in system failures. Prior to each election, voting machines must be delivered from the county warehouse to every voting precinct in the County. Nufrio said despite the Board of Elections decision to purchase the ES&S voting machines, “Ocean County officials are now issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP), in an attempt to award the contract to Dominion, whose representatives have donated $134,200 to their campaign accounts.” County Administrator Carl Block told Jersey Shore Online.com he was present at the recent Board of Commissioners meeting where Nufrio read his statement. “There were two meetings where the Board discussed their recommendation about the e-poll books and voting machines. I noticed he didn’t know about the e-poll books at all. We are mandated to buy both for the entire general election to do early voting.” Block added, “we don’t have enough voting machines and the state is mandating early voting this year so we have to buy some additional machines. With that you can only buy voting machines that are certified by the state of New Jersey. Right now, I think there is four. It is a very limited audience and it is controlled by the state.” Nufrio took issue with the alleged omission of voting machines not being certified by the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), the federal agency responsible for certifying all election equipment. Block said that it was the state that certified the machines. “They certify yes or no. If they needed to be certified by the Feds that is a different issue. It is up to the state. Both Dominion and ES&S are certified by the state. We put out an RFP. The RFP can be answered by anyone who can meet it. I did not do the RFP, that was done by purchasing. I don’t know who is going to submit.” Block said firms that were selling the machines had to recently be certified as “they were all running to keep up with
The Manchester Times, September 4, 2021, Page 7 the State when they said they wanted to do early voting as a policy decision. Then they started talking about e-poll books, well we never had any. We needed the new voting machines because we needed to be compliant with the paper trail. They have been running to catch up with themselves.” He noted that many of the other 21 counties of New Jersey were in the same boat as Ocean because the state dictates how many early voting sites each county must have.
“No less than seven no more than 10 that they will pay for. If you want more that is okay but they won’t pay for it. Most of the state, like us, we’re going to buy the number of machines that the state will pay for.” Block said that Nufrio’s figure of $10 million was incorrect. “I don’t know where he got that number. As to the issue of the printer, there were five demonstrations.” “They use stock printers. The Dominion system was a print on demand system.
When you go in you put the e-poll book and give your name, town and voting district and they give you a card like a hotel key which is magnetic which changes information as each voter comes in and every voting machine in every early voting district has every town on it. Theoretically, you could vote anywhere. This is all a state design,” Block added. “In this case it prints a paper ballot (Election - See Page 17)

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E ditorial The Real World Is Not What You See On The News I’ve been hearing a common refrain lately, something along the lines of “things are going bad in this country.” It’s easy to get bogged down with the bad stuff – there’s certainly no shortage of it. But you have to t u r n of f t he screen and come up for air once in a while. We have a saying in the news business: “If it bleeds, it leads.” It means that tragedy is the biggest story. Unfortunately, that’s become a license for 24-hour news channels to broadcast constant doom. There’s a huge difference between what’s going on in the real world versus what you see on TV. Do this experiment for me: The next time you’re driving in your town, look around. Do you see any of the problems you hear about on the TV news? No. Of course you don’t. Keep that in mind. The next time some news anchor paints the world all doom and gloom, turn off the TV and go outside. This morning, I was in line at a pet supply store. There was a mom and her daughter in front of me. The daughter was holding a kitten like a baby, with his four paws up in the air. I told them he was very cute and they told me a story about him. They were staying at an AirBNB in Mexico when they fou nd him. T he daughter fell in love and
they somehow managed to bring him back. It was a wonderful story. And that’s what real life is – those little moments between people. You won’t see that on the nightly news. Your TV might provide a window to the world, but it’s a very small window (even if you have an 80inch screen). The news program has 60 minutes – minus commercials – to tell you multiple stories and you can bet your bottom dollar you’re not getting the whole story. And if you’re learning about the news through Facebook or something else, that’s an even smaller window. It’s because the screen is even smaller on your phone or tablet. (I’m using metaphors because I was an English major.) The news programs and Facebook pages are showing you half the story – their half. They want to tell you that the country is going down the drain and it’s someone’s fault. If you’re watching CNN, it’s the Republicans’ fault. If you’re watching Fox, it’s the Democrats’ fault. They are only showing the worst thing about the other side in order for you to vote a certain way. It’s a lie of omission. So you might as well not listen to any of the story and open the windows of your house to let the sun and fresh air in. Chris Lundy News Editor

Letters To The Editor We Need Flexible Addiction Treatment New Jersey is making critical progress in how it treats individuals struggling with substance use disorder. The recent passage of three bills to improve access to lifesaving medications mark an important change of approach toward greater compassion and care. The passage of these bills improves access to Naloxone and Buprenorphine, which will mean hope for overdose prevention and recovery. We are finally turning the page in our approach toward helping individuals to a path to wellness. Yet even as we make progress, we must continue to fight for real and lasting change. New Jersey needs Mobile MAT (Medication Assisted Treatment) to meet people where they are - in every part of our state. MAT improves retention in treatment, reduces use of other opioids, improves social outcomes, and lowers the risk of relapse and overdose. The addiction rehab system is not working. If it were, we would not have seen an increase in overdose deaths in New Jersey and across the country. The 100,000 people we’ve lost to preventable overdose in the United States last year would still be with us today. The overdose crisis affects too many families across New Jersey, including my own.
In 2005, my son had knee surgery and was prescribed OxyContin. OxyContin was the recommended drug for pain at that time. He soon became addicted and his life – and our family – was forever changed. By the time I realized that my smart, funny, loving and athletic son was addicted to OxyContin, his situation had deteriorated. To try and find help, my son saw several physicians, but none could offer him the help that he needed. He attended several detox facilities, only to leave and use again. He ultimately flipped his car, grew addicted to heroin and Xanax, and returned to a detox-based rehabilitation facility. What I’ve learned from my experience as a mother whose child struggles with addiction is that we must meet people where they are and ensure access to lifesaving tools and services. Saving lives from preventable overdose is my number one priority because those we lost do not have the opportunity to recover. Thankfully, Governor Murphy changed the laws to increase access to lifesaving medicines. But much more needs to be done to stop preventable overdose deaths for good. Addiction is not a straight line. The range of experiences vary considerably. We cannot assume that there is just one path to recovery. Many drug users are not able or ready to enter a program. These individuals
should not be ignored or forgotten. In order to save lives from preventable overdose, and expand access to treatments that actually work, we need to remove several unnecessary obstacles to MAT at the state and federal levels. Meeting people where they are via Mobile MAT Units is one way to help those with substance use disorder (SUD). This means investing in programs that meet patients in their own neighborhoods through mobile MAT vans for hard-hit communities, especially in rural south Jersey communities where access to healthcare is limited. It also means ensuring that people on Medicaid and those without insurance can access these lifesaving treatments. Currently, MAT is rarely used to help people with substance use disorder, even though it is considered the gold standard of care in addiction treatment. The reason: the unnecessary and complex barriers facing healthcare providers and patients. Faced with little choice, people like my son are forced to attempt to detox in other ways. Here in New Jersey, only about 22% of patients with SUD have MAT incorporated into their treatment plan. Please help us fight for these solutions.

Low Water Pressure The Barnegat Township government is so intent on adding more businesses and housing for more tax ratables they seem to forget one thing: water supply vs. demand. I live in Settler’s Landing not far from the water tower. I have a vegetable garden but I’m having trouble watering it because of the low water pressure. Since I get only a three-foot trickle spray, I went out and purchased a water pressure gauge. Both my back and front yard’s faucets read 38 psi. I checked a neighbor’s across the street and they have the same reading. I believe the pressure should be 50 to 50 psi. Do we need a higher water tower? Is the problem only in my neighborhood? Do we have to purchase a portable water pump to bring up the pressure? Maybe we need to get the BPU involved! I say fix the problem and stop the construction for more tax ratables! Donald G. Calvert.

Trust The Doctors I love how some people are telling these medical professionals that have been attending this pandemic from the start that they are the liars. It’s astounds me. Just say you don’t give a damn about anything or anyone. That’s what it sounds like when people say these nurses and doctors are lying about all of this. The cognitive dissonance is deadly. Get a vaccine for the love of God! Jack Blaydon Toms River

I have full trust and confidence in the Adjutant General to lead this task force in coordinating our response to the ongoing arrival of refugees to our state.” “The Task Force stands ready to support our mission partners,” said Adjutant General and DMAVA Commissioner Brigadier General Dr. Lisa J. Hou. “We recognize the sacrifice of our Afghan allies and American and NATO service members these past 20 years. We pledge every effort to alleviate the human tragedy unfolding in Afghanistan.” Adjutant General and DMAVACommissioner Hou is a veteran of the War in Afghanistan, where she served as a field surgeon and sole medical provider on an Afghanistan National Army base and was responsible for providing routine and advanced emergency medical care in the combat theater for more than 600 coalition soldiers, contractors, and foreign nationals.

The task force will be responsible for: “Developing a mechanism for identifying Afghan refugees who arrive in New Jersey and plan to remain for some period of time; “Managing internal efforts among Executive Branch departments and agencies to welcome and provide support to Afghan refugees and SIV holders as they arrive and/or resettle in New Jersey; “Coordinating communications with representatives of the federal government, including the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Defense, regarding the relocation of Afghan refugees; “Overseeing the provision of vital support and emergency healthcare services for those who need it upon arrival in New Jersey, including COVID-19 testing and vaccination as needed; “Creating an intake mechanism for organizations and individuals seeking to provide aid and support to Afghan refugees to contact the Task Force, evaluating and keeping track of such organizations and individuals, and connecting such organizations and individuals with those in need of assistance; and “Providing any other necessary supports to ensure the safe entry and relocation to New Jersey ofAfghan refugees.”

He was quickly transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune for treatment of his injuries and is reported to be in stable condition. After detectives identified Serrano-Robles as the shooter, they later located him at the Toms River Bus Station and he was taken into custody without incident. Serrano-Robles has been lodged in the Ocean County Jail since his apprehension. The charges referenced are merely accusations and the public are reminded that all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Around The Jersey Shore Murphy Mandates Vaccines For Teachers
─Screenshot by Alyssa Riccardi Gov. Phil Murphy shared statistics during his August 23 press conference. By Alyssa Riccardi NEW JERSEY – Gov. Phil Murphy announced that all New Jersey teachers will be required to either be vaccinated against COVID-19 or have to be tested regularly. Murphy made his announcement after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the Pfizer vaccine for those 16 and older. The executive order states that all pre-k through 12th grade school personnel are required to be fully vaccinated by October 18 or undergo regular testing at a minimum of once to twice a week. This applies to all public, private and parochial preschool programs and elementary and secondary schools, as well as charter and renaissance schools. The mandate also applies to all who are employed by a school, whether they work full time or part time. The Garden State is one of the first in the nation to execute this type of mandate, joining others states like California and Connecticut. “We have received multiple local reports
that point to an overwhelming majority of our educational and classroom leaders having already taken their personal responsibility to their families, students and colleagues seriously and gotten vaccinated. I thank them for continuing to be models for their communities,” Murphy said. “We’re continuing to do all we can to ensure a safe start to the school year. Strong masking and vaccination protocols, in tandem with other safety measures, are our best consolidated tool for keeping our schools open for fulltime, in-person instruction.” This executive order also includes all state employees - those at state agencies, authorities and public colleges and universities, are required to complete a full vaccination course or go through regular testing. Currently, about 11 million vaccine doses have been administered in New Jersey and approximately 5.5 million people who live, work, or study in New Jersey are now fully vaccinated. The decision comes at a time when school districts are trying to determine how to handle mask mandates as well.

It is not like we are buying anything that is sub-standard they all have to meet the requirements of the state.” “I ran for county clerk in 2008, 13 years ago. Did Perna make a donation to me? Probably. Adam Perna doesn’t work for Dominion. He is a printer. He prints the ballots. I’m assuming they went back 10 to 15 years and added up a total. I know I have not gotten a donation of any kind for any office. I became administrator in July 1, 2010 and do not hold any political office. I haven’t received any donations since that date,” Block added. The Commissioners voted 5-0 to approve the ordinance to fund the purchase of the machines. No member of the Board of Commissioners responded to Nufrio’s statements during the meeting. Nufrio and Kopacz are challenging incumbent Commissioner Gary Quinn and Barbara “Bobbi Jo” Crea who is seeking the vacated seat of fellow Republican Gerry P. Little.

The tests are used to help detect neuromuscular abnormalities as well as Peripheral Neuropathy disorders. When someone’s nerves become injured and/or damaged, either through accident, infection, or exposure to drugs they can develop neuropathic pain, or neuropathy.
Do you Suffer with Chronic Neuropathic Pain? It’s estimated that in the United States, more than 20 million people have some form of neuropathic pain. There are many reasons why Neuropathy can become dangerous, if left untreated… Each year in the United States there are about 86,000 diabetesrelated amputations. That is one of the most feared complications The neuropathic pain becomes more and severe as the of the disease. No one likes to think about that, but it’s a reality. nerve tissue becomes more and more inflamed. Neuropathy can cause people to fall more often.

How is Neuropathy Diagnosed? Neuropathic conditions are diagnosed through a neurological clinic examination utilizing medical technology known as nerve conduction velocity testing and Electromyography (EMG). These diagnostic tests measure muscle response and electrical activity in
Experiencing Neuropathy... People with neuropathy can experience different levels of pain, from tingling and numbness to debilitating burning and shooting pains. For some, neuropathic pain affects sleep, social activities, and even cause depression. Most commonly, pain occurs in the hands
and feet, but it can also affect other areas of the body. Diagnosing Neuropathy can sometimes be strange…where this condition can develop even when there is no obvious cause, and it may appear some time after the initial injury or infection. To compound the problem, this pain can be challenging to treat successfully, and it is associated with some serious compromise to one’s quality of life. How many treatments have you tried that left you hopeless? Healthcare professionals may offer a variety of treatments, including antidepressants, opioid pain relievers, and lifestyle changes, but neuropathic pain can often be resistant to treatment. To make matters even worse, these treatments can also come with unwanted side effects. For example, taking opioid pain relievers can cause nausea and constipation, and there is also the risk of these drugs becoming addictive. “AFTER 8 TREATMENTS MY IMPROVEMENT WAS 80%.”

What Does Hearing Loss Look Like Across the Age Spectrum?
Prescriptions delivered. Insurance handled. Pharmacy who cares. For FREE. 200 Lacey Road Whiting, NJ 08759 732-849-3141
More than 36 million American adults report that they have hearing loss. Although many people assume hearing loss only affects those around retirement age, about two-thirds of all cases of hearing loss occur in people under the age of 65. So how can hearing aids benefit the entire age spectrum, children, teens, the American workforce, and retirees? Let’s take a look at some rather revealing data regarding hearing loss and hearing aids. In children and teens: At least 1.8 million U.S. children have trouble hearing. Nearly 1.5 million are school age. Nine of every 10 children born deaf are born to parents who can hear normally. In-utero ear infections can lead to deafness. Three continuous months of ear infections can lead to deafness. Children exposed to secondhand smoke have twice the risk of hearing loss. One in five teens now suffers from at least a mild hearing loss due to excessive volume when using iPods and other listening devices. In the American workforce: About 26 million Americans between the prime employment ages of 20 and 69 have high-frequency hearing loss. One in four workers exposed to high levels of noise experience hearing loss later in life. Those with untreated hearing loss lose about $30,000 a year due to underemployment. Police, firefighters, factory workers, farmers,
construction workers, musicians, heavy-industry workers, the military and professional hunters are at the highest risk of experiencing hearing loss. In retirees: About 30 percent of adults ages 65 to 74 have hearing loss. About 47 percent of adults over the age of 75 have hearing loss. Hearing loss in retirees leads to more hospitalization and poorer health overall. Dementia, depression and brain shrinkage are all strongly correlated to untreated hearing loss, which is likely partially responsible for those diseases occurring. Diabetes and cardiovascular disease are also associated with untreated hearing loss. Fortunately, hearing aids are a huge benefit to 90 percent of those with hearing loss, regardless of age group or severity. For those with mild hearing loss, hearing aids greatly reduce or eliminate the risk of income loss, and people with hearing aids are nearly twice as likely to be employed as those with untreated hearing loss or those who simply don’t wear their hearing aids. If you want to make sure you’re getting all you can out of your current set, bring them in and we’ll take a look at how the technology is working for you. And if you decide there’s an upgrade option that you’d like to pursue, we’ll give you $500 toward any new set of AGX Hearing aids.

What To Do When Calcium Is High By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Your body is amazingly skilled at maintaining homeostasis. It’s kind of amazing how your body maintains tight control over calcium levels, especially the amount that is circulating in your blood at any given moment. For example, all of these methods are done involuntarily by your body to keep your serum calcium at a normal range, usually somewhere between 9 and 10, but it differs depending on your age. 1. Your intestines absorb calcium from foods that you eat. 2. Your bones give up, and take in calcium so there is a dynamic movement of calcium in and out of your skeleton. 3. Your kidneys reclaim calcium, or excrete it into your urine. When the blood levels drop below normal, your 4 tiny parathyroid glands immediately rescue levels by secreting parathyroid hormone (PTH) into your blood which tells your bones to release some into the blood, and do it NOW! People with elevated PTH levels are at higher risk for osteoporosis. PTH levels are measured by a simple blood test. If it’s high, I recommend you read Dr. Norman’s work at parathyroid.com. Physicians will evaluate vitamin D if the PTH is elevated, and if the D is low, they will tell you to supplement. This can be very harmful and is the wrong thing to do in most cases, because if the PTH is elevated, and your D is low, it’s low because your body’s trying to protect you from more calcium! A person’s calcium can be evaluated several ways. Usually a “serum” calcium is measured by a blood test which tells you how much calcium is bound to a protein. There is an “ionized calcium” blood test
which tells you what portion is free. If you have so much calcium that it’s spilling into your urine in high amounts which is called hypercalciuria. To fi nd out take a test called a “24-hour urine calcium test.” If your calcium is high, ask your physician about these ideas to see if they’re right for you: 1. Vitamin K2 - Vitamin K2 drives calcium out of the blood and puts it back into the bone. It reduces serum calcium. 2. Bisphosphonates - The category of bisphosphonate drugs (ie Fosamax) can be used for a short term to remove calcium from the blood and put it back into the bones. It will reduce serum calcium. 3. Ref lux drugs - Medications like famotidine (Pepcid) or omeprazole (Prilosec) can quickly reduce the absorption of many minerals and it can be quite potent. 4. Follow a low calcium diet - Meat and poultry, shrimp, seafood, green beans, eggs (and egg substitute), oatmeal, squash, nuts, rice, peas, Brussels sprouts, tangerines, kiwi and fruit juice. 5. Switch diuretics. If you are taking a thiazide diuretic like HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide), this will cause you to retain calcium. By taking a “loop” diuretic such as furosemide, you will reduce calcium levels. 6. Sometimes surgery for a parathyroid adenoma is necessar y, these are diagnosed by specif ic scans on the neck. Hyperparathyroidism is a common cause for elevated calciu m levels.

By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – RWJBarnabas Health is now offering a third COVID-19 dose for those who are immunocompromised. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that people whose immune systems are moderately to severely compromised should receive a

Inside The Law Why A Survey Is Essential For Successful Closing
24 HOURS A DAY
7 DAYS A WEEK
Marc S. Galella Esq.
LICENSED, BONDED, INSURED
PREFERREDCARES.COM
By: Marc S. Gallela, Esq. During the process of purchasing a home, many buyers are concerned with the bottom line and look for ways to cut costs. One of the first items they may choose to forego to save money is to opt out of ordering a survey. This article is intended to provide information which will assist the purchaser in making a well informed decision whether to obtain or forego a survey. Many purchasers are not aware of all the various important components that a survey can disclose. A survey is not just a simple drawing showing boundary lines and location of the dwelling, but it also delineates right of ways, easements, encroachments, and/or gaps between property lines. The survey can also confirm the location of a water way, an existing improvement and determine whether all the structures on the property you are looking to purchase are within the property boundary lines such as sheds, pools, retaining walls and fences. Perhaps the most important pieces of information a survey will provide are the property’s zoning classification, dimension and size, which will allow you to determine if the property conforms to the local lot size requirements. Once the survey is obtained your attorney will forward it to the title company, who will also research the information contained therein. If the survey accurately shows that there are no property line encroachments then the title company will not require any exceptions in its policy, which will allow the title company to provide coverage and defend against anyone who, in the future, challenges the accuracy of the property lines. If you do not have an accurate and current survey prior to closing then any disputes, whether it is with the seller, a neighbor or a governmental agency, as to the location of a fence, shed, or any larger structure such as a pool, deck or an addition will become yours to
resolve. These disputes can be costly and you possibly may be precluded from seeking recourse from the previous owner. The basic survey cost is around $650-800 and of course the cost may be more if the property is very large or has irregular shape. If you chose to have metal stakes installed at the corners then that may increase the cost of the survey. These markers are important for those homeowners who, after making the purchase, want to install a fence, pool, shed, or an addition to the dwelling. The purchase of a home or lot may be overwhelming but the attorneys at R.C. Shea and Associates can assist you through that process. The law firm of R.C.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
The Mask & Vaccine Police
Dear Joel, My husband and I are both vaccinated. I know we all should work to be safe but I don’t think it’s right for me to ask others if they are vaccinated. My husband asks everyone without a mask about their status. I think he should stop. What do you think? Answer: Asking people about their medical decisions is really on the edge of nosiness. As health care professionals, we do ask, but I agree that asking people their status is an invasive question. Tell him
to go back to the old, “how are you feeling” question and leave it at that. You’ll have a lot less confrontations. Thanks for writing, Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

18-Year-Old Sent To Juvenile Detention For Seaside Shooting
By Chris Lundy SEASIDE PARK – An 18-year-old Seaside Park man was given a four-year suspended sentence for a shooting that occurred during a robbery. Michael Jedziniak had previously entered guilty pleas to Armed Robbery and Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose, police said. He was 17 at the time of the crimes, on October 27, 2020.
Just before noon, a BMW pulled up to a Seaside Heights Police cruiser and told them one of the passengers in the car had been shot. The victim was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, treated for injuries, and released. Jedziniak had been identified as the perpetrator and was arrested without incident. He has been in the juvenile facility since then. The State was seeking a seven-year sentence,
but instead he will have an 18-month probation under the supervision of the Juvenile Intensive Supervision Program before his four years. During the probation, he must attend and successfully complete a residential program operated by the Juvenile system. After his first 18-month probation, and after his four years in a juvenile facility, he will then have another 18 months of probation supervised by the Ocean County Probation Department.
Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer acknowledged the efforts of Assistant Prosecutor Madeline Buczynski who handled the case on behalf of the State, as well as the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Regional SWAT Team, Seaside Park Police Department, Seaside Heights Police Department, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit, for the collaborative efforts in connection with this investigation and disposition.
Mental Health Association Offering Online Support Group
OCEAN COUNTY – A new, online support and discussion group for women in the workplace is being offered by a nonprofit organization, The Mental Health Association in New Jersey, which has an affiliate office in Ocean County. The focus is on women who have experienced emotional, physical, or sexual intimidation or abuse on the job. The group, called Life in Waves, is meeting online twice a month via the Zoom App. The meeting is founded and facilitated by women who have experienced these challenges. A mental health professional with lived experience as a survivor of trauma is an advisor to the facilitators. “Our area of South Jersey employs many women in occupations frequently associated with a higher risk for these experiences. Think about all the waitresses, housekeepers, massage therapists, lifeguards, nurses and the many women working in the service industry,” said Bern Trendler, a wellness program manager. “This group provides a safe space to provide support and have an open discussion about topics like gender roles and power balances.” Trendler said women who have faced these situations can experience negative health outcomes, including sleep disorders, depression, anxiety and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. Through the group, members share resources and strategies to improve their mental health. Life in Waves meets twice a month on the second and fourth Wednesday at 7 p.m. To receive a link for this meeting, call The Mental Health Association at 609-652-3800 or email lifeinwaves@mhanj.org.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE You’ll Never Be Left High And Dry As Long As Dr. Choxi is By Your Side By Michael Vandenberg “There’s always some kind of suppor t available,” for patients struggling with pain, Dr. Sarah Choxi told me in a recent discussion. If you, like many of Garden State Medical Center’s new patients, have been told by other doctors that nothing could be done to alleviate your suffering, it’s time to think again. When you combine the vast treatment options available at GSMC with Dr. Choxi and the rest of their pain management specialists (including founder Dr. Dharam Mann), that negativity simply doesn’t stand a chance. After all, her interest in helping people has driven her throughout her education and career. She decided to specialize in anesthesiology and interventional pain management because she saw how much those fields could change lives. “It was a way to help patients improve quality of life,” said Dr. Choxi. “It can be really difficult for people when they have pain to go through their normal day by day activities. So it was really impor tant to me as a medical student, later on as a resident, and now as an attending to be able to restore their function and have very independent lives.” People who have conditions that can’t be solved or are difficult to solve deserve the ability to be happy and painfree. Formerly at the Universit y of Chicago, Dr. Choxi was drawn to GSMC’s same focus, as well as the innovative tools it has to make it happen. “It’s a very multi-dimensional perspective on man-
aging pain,” she said. Their solutions include medication manage ment, injections, spinal cord stimulators, and countless others that have been proven safe and effective. Oftentimes a combination of techniques works best. “Patients aren’t cookie cutter. They’re very unique and individual. So I think you need to have a plan in place that caters to their specific needs.” Garden State Medical Center has always been on the cutting edge, so it’s only natural for them to have so much under their umbrella. If Dr. Choxi thinks you need to see a rheumatologist, don’t start looking at next month’s calendar; you can see one of her rheumatologist colleagues in-house in a matter of days. She’ll probably even share her notes with them on their stateof-the-art electronic database, which will also help you to stay informed about your own care. Being in-the-know about the options available to you is an important part of the culture at GSMC. Dr. Choxi remembers one patient in particular who was desperate for answers. She had heel surgery and, although When she saw the pa- granted. Recently she it had physically healed, tient, she told her, “No went to a flea market with she was still feeling a matter what, we’ll fig- her husband and could ton of pain. Unfortunately, ure this out together.” Dr. actually just walk around the surgeon had been Choxi gave her options: for a couple hours and enjoy herself. Previously, dismissive, telling her five to be exact. The patient decided anything longer than ten that there was no reason to go with minutes used to be una n i n j e c - bearable. “I’m finally able tion called to just enjoy the weather a s y m p a - outside,” the patient told thetic nerve her. “I’m so glad that you block, and could give me options j u s t l i k e and I know that I can t h a t s h e trust you.” Trust in a doctor gives for her to be feeling dis- achieved 90 percent recomfort. “She felt a little lief. It was a life-changing patients the courage to pushed around by him difference, giving her pursue the treatment and sort of just pushed the ability to experience they feel most comfortout the door,” Dr. Choxi basic joys again in ways able with. Luckily, after remembered her saying. lots of people take for Dr. Choxi gives you the
most effective and safest options, she’s happy let you make the ultimate choice. Unfamiliar with how some of these methods work? She’ll happily go over everything with you at length and answer any questions. In addition, GSMC has models in every room to help patients visualize what doctors are describing. There are even televisions in all the offices with videos that give patients a full rundown of procedures and illustrations on how they’re performed. It ’s all bec ause Dr. Choxi’s patients “know
that they ’re going to get the care they deserve”. To get started, call 1-888-376-2661 today to schedule an appointment, or feel free to visit gsmedicalcenter. org to learn more on the procedures Garden State Medical Center provides. Dr. Choxi currently practices at 780 Route 37 West, Suite 110 and 1314 Hooper Avenue, Building B, Suite 101 in Toms River; 1100 Route 70, Entrance A in Whiting; 1608 Route 88, Suite 102 in Brick; and 100 Route 36, Suite #1K in West Long Branch.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 4 - sept 10 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): This is a glass-half-empty kind of week. People may see the worst side of every suggestion and give you a thumbs-down on presentations. Things that grab your enthusiasm now may drain your energy by the end of the week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Avoid making crucial decisions about purchases or anything that affects your financial status as the week commences. What seems to be a practical solution or smart move could backfire and cause further problems. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Things may not go according to plan. In the upcoming week it will pay to remember that nothing is foolproof. Despite carefully assessing the situation, one unforeseen miscalculation can change everything. CANCER (June 21-July 22): There may be numerous demands on your time and patience, but you possess the wisdom to meet challenges with good grace. Extra demands on resources can force you to address the budget in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Pessimism may permeate your hope for progress. Don’t give in to negativity in the first half of the week, as the storm clouds that threaten will pass by quickly if you remain responsible, financially cautious and ethical. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may struggle to get your point across. These stars could make you labor for the right words describe your views. Throughout the week, tread carefully to avoid offending others or getting
involved in disputes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Carefully consider every step. A careless error could cause extra effort. In the week ahead, you may encounter misunderstandings or find it difficult to express your affection for loved ones. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It might not be possible to hold an entirely open dialog on family issues. As the week unfolds, you might be challenged to address problems within your home. Set aside time to listen with an open mind and open heart. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Look for important lessons in any criticism you receive. A loved one may not be willing to give you the benefit of the doubt in the week to come, so don’t push your luck. You’re likely to act on wishful thinking. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can balance the books better than most in the week ahead. You might excel at organization, but this doesn’t mean this is a good time to launch new enterprises. Get all your ducks in a row. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There is nothing to fear but fear itself. The more positive you are that things will turn out for the best, the more likely they will. You can find the right words to soften criticism if you find time for solitude and reflection. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You might bubble up with friendliness as the week begins. When you recognize that everyone is your brother, you’re more apt to act fairly. Avoid misunderstandings that could occur if you don’t stand firm.

THIS BRIGHT, BALANCED THAI GRILLED-BEEF SALAD WILL BE YOUR NEW FAVORITE SUMMER SALAD By America’s Test Kitchen
THAI GRILLED-BEEF SALAD Serves 4 to 6
1 teaspoon sweet paprika 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon white rice 3 tablespoons lime juice (2 limes) 2 tablespoons fish sauce 2 tablespoons water 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1 (1 1/2 pound) flank steak, trimmed Salt and white pepper, coarsely ground 4 shallots, sliced thin 1 1/2 cups fresh mint leaves, torn 1 1/2 cups fresh cilantro leaves 1 Thai chile, stemmed and sliced thin into rounds 1 seedless English cucumber, sliced 1/4-inch thick on bias
2. Whisk lime juice, fish sauce, water, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon toasted paprika mixture in a large bowl and set aside. 3A. For a charcoal grill: Open the bottom vent completely. Light a large chimney starter filled with charcoal briquettes (6 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour evenly over half of the grill. Set cooking grate in place, cover the grill and open the lid vent completely. Heat grill until hot, about 5 minutes. 3B. For a gas grill: Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat the grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Leave the primary burner on high and turn off other burner(s). 4. Clean and oil the cooking grate. Season steak with salt and white pepper. Place steak over the hot part of the grill and cook until it begins to char and beads of moisture appear on outer edges of the meat, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip steak and continue to cook on the second side until charred and the center registers 125 F, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes (or allow to cool to room temperature, about 1 hour). 5. Slice meat, against the grain, on bias into 1/4-inchthick slices. Transfer sliced steak to a bowl with fish sauce mixture. Add shallots, mint, cilantro, chile and half of the rice powder; toss to combine. Transfer to a platter lined with cucumber slices.
1. Heat paprika and cayenne in an 8-inch skillet over medium heat; cook, shaking the pan, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl. Return the now-empty skillet to medium-high heat, add rice, and toast, stirring frequently, until deep golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a second small bowl and cool for 5 minutes.
