–Photos By Bob Vosseller Paul Hoffman raises his mug in approval at the 4th Annual Redeemer Lutheran Church in Manchester. By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER - Who says an Oktoberfest has to be held in October? Certainly not the parishioners of Redeemer Lutheran Church who saw their fourth annual event return in September. Actually, there is nothing unusual about an Oktoberfest being held this month, Reverend Dan Berteau, the senior pastor, said. In Germany, the season for these events begins on September 15 and runs into October. Here, the
event ran from 3 to 7 p.m. and was packed with attendees. There was plenty of food, beverages, entertainment, parking space and most of all fellowship to go around. Berteau noted that this event, which couldn’t be held last year due to the COVID-19 health crisis, was “a way to of giving back to our community by providing an opportunity to connect together and celebrate life with our neighbors.” “God has created people with the gift of joy and happiness so
we should enable one another to do just that, together as God’s family,” he added. He noted that it all began in 2017 with a very special anniversary. “It was the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther and the reformation so we wanted to do something special for that. We said let’s have an Oktoberfest and celebrate our German heritage. Every single year the Lord has blessed it to get to where we are today,” he said.
Seaside’s Growth Continues On Anniversary Of Boardwalk Fire
By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Eight years ago this month, a fire ravaged the boardwalk that was still in the throes of restoring its facilities from Superstorm Sandy. The fire occurred on September 12, 2013 and engulfed areas of the boardwalk including the Funtown Pier. It resulted in the destruction of 50 businesses on Seaside Park’s
portion of the boardwalk alone. It began with a report of a fire beneath two of the most famous historic boardwalk businesses in operation, Kohr’s Frozen Custard and Biscayne Candies. Firefighters had to cope with not only the fast-moving fire but the 30-40 mile per hour winds and tar roofing material. The flames quickly spread to other businesses,

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – During the most recent Township Council meeting, an ordinance was introduced that would require the Code Enforcement Officer to review any change in registration for abandoned properties. The aim of the ordinance is to keep accurate, up-to-date records of registered abandoned properties within Manchester. According to the ordinance, the registration requirements would include that the owner of any vacant and abandoned property file a registration statement for the property with the Code Enforcement Officer on forms provided by the township. Often, abandoned properties become eyesores, or at the very worst, hazardous as the property falls into disrepair. Empty houses attract vermin and unkempt yards breed insects. Sometimes, youth will break into these houses. The governing body approved several other ordinances on first reading authorizing the sale of property including 851 Route 539, 1723 Hegstrom Avenue and 1701 Hegstrom Avenue. Mayor Robert Hudak presented two proclamations during the night. The

Drainage In Pine Lake Park Being Addressed By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Residents and officials are concerned over flooding issues in the Pine Lake Park section of the township. The area’s poor drainage issues were brought up by Mayor Robert Hudak who said he knows first hand how bad it can be because he lives in that area.
The mayor said, “Manchester Township has recognized that we have significant f looding concerns in the Pine Lake Park section of town and we have set in motion actions in order to alleviate these issues. Back on November 16, 2020, while I was a member of the Township Council, (Drainage - See Page 22)

Seaside:
Continued From Page 1 well the Royal Sands Condominium complex at Sumner Avenue and Ocean Terrace. Those fires were extinguished quickly. A little after 6:30 p.m. Governor Chris Christie arrived at the scene of the six alarm fire which took more than 400 fi refighters from various counties in the state plus New Jersey Forest Fire Service and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey crews to combat. This included one of the state’s three high-powered water cannon systems from Union County. They had been paid for by Homeland Security funds in the event of an attack by terrorists. The fi re was declared under control and extinguished by 7:45 p.m. and there were no injuries reported but three police officers were injured after falling off a Seaside Park Emergency Management truck. The boardwalk fi re caused the closure of all roads into Seaside Heights and Seaside Park, including Route 35. The Mathis and Tunney Bridges were closed into the morning of September 13. The smell of smoke was detected as far as several communities in Monmouth County. Investigators deemed the giant blaze as accidental on September 17, 2013. The cause was linked to electrical wiring under the boardwalk and subfloor, and equipment
they say was impacted by floodwaters from Superstorm Sandy. It occurred due to an electrical malfunction underneath the two boardwalk businesses. Joseph D. Coronato, who was serving as Ocean County Prosecutor at the time, reported that wiring that existed in a portion of the boardwalk not rebuilt after Superstorm Sandy, had been damaged from sand and salt water. A month later, the governing bodies of Seaside Heights and Seaside Park hired Eagle Paving Corp. to demolish and clean up the sections affected by the inferno. That work took two months to complete and cost the two towns $4.7 million. With the charred remains of 68 businesses along four blocks cleared, it was now time to rebuild and recover. Governor Christie told business owners that $15 million would be provided to local businesses for reconstruction purposes. The damage to the boardwalk was estimated to be around $1.88 million. Reflecting on that dark period in the borough’s history, Seaside Heights Mayor Anthony Vaz recalled, “it was a very bad time in 2013. There is a redevelopment going on particularly in that area. Most of that fi re was in Seaside Park but it did affect us north of the boardwalk to Dupont Avenue.” The mayor said that rebuilding has been done recently. “That was all eight years ago but now with the redevelopment you
are seeing new structures you have the new Ocean Club restaurant up there. There are four new kiosks that were opened over the summer so development is there.” “Seaside Park did their own thing too. They have a beach club. They put in some new stores on Ocean Terrace and a couple of new restaurants. They’ve done quite a bit,” Mayor Vaz added. Having survived the devastation of Superstorm Sandy, the boardwalk fi re and the ongoing pandemic, the mayor said the summer of 2021 was better than last year. “It featured more outdoor dining. “We kept it this year because it was such a great thing to see. To have your meal, your glass of wine and you are watching people walk by and people like to do that.” Seaside Heights in particular is seeing a lot of changes beyond the boardwalk including the removal of a rusted metal eyesore that was to have been a restaurant nightclub “is completely gone now. The plans for that are heading to the Planning Board for a structure that will be condominiums, retail and parking.” The Bamboo Bar - a fixture of nightlife in the borough for decades, “is getting knocked down at the end of October,” the mayor added. That will also be replaced with condominiums, retail and parking. “Those are the two big ones we are seeing immediately. We met with the developers who bought the Bamboo building and they
are very excited about getting started.” Another Boulevard-based night club is Karma which has also closed and it is unknown at this time what will become of that facility. Borough officials have been looking to enhance the community’s image to be more of a family-oriented destination point. While the many nightclubs the borough once had have faded away, the borough is looking to see some fine dining on the Boulevard. “Our atmosphere is not nightclubs. We are restaurant driven that is our focus, restaurants fi rst. That doesn’t mean you can’t have alcohol and you can have dancing but the focus is you have a menu sit down and that provides a different kind of clientele,” Mayor Vaz added. The mayor said, “there’ll be music, there’ll be dancing, there’ll be drinking but the clientele changes when you have a restaurant. We’re seeing more families. It has been very positive this summer. The tourists and business owners were very happy with the season and the clientele we’re getting and the activities we are offering.” The Borough’s hosted a 9/11 ceremony, wine festival, car show and crawling pizza event plus the Hope Sheds Light walk recently. Other Fall events include the Italian Heritage weekend/Columbus Day Parade on the weekend of October 8-10 and a holiday program in December.

Oktoberfest: Continued From Page 1
He added, “as a church we looked for a way to reach out to the community and get to know folks and have a welcoming friendly place to come to and have fellowship together. There is nothing our community needs more than to get out and be together and just relax and celebrate together.” The pastor said he was pleasantly surprised to see so many come out for the day’s fun. He was expecting about 200 people but “we are way over 300, I’d say 400 probably. It is hard to say but every single chair we own in the church and every single table was brought out there.” A $5 admission ticket provided an abundance of food that included plenty of bratwurst, hot dogs, red cabbage, German potato salad and many other offerings. It wasn’t catered - it was provided by the church’s congregation. “Roast by roast, brat by brat in their homes and brought here and fi nished off in our kitchen,” Reverend Berteau said. He noted there was a lot happening behind the scenes “and we have a lot of great cooks here. We have about 30% of our church helping out and actively involved in making it happen.” Among them are Brenda Hunt and Peggy Anslinger who were the chief coordinators in the kitchen. “We have 214 hotdogs and 200-plus brats and our congregation members made some large pork shoulders and German-style
The Manchester Times, September 25, 2021, Page 5 pulled pork that is delicious,” Hunt said. This year’s event has a bittersweet side to it. Hunt gave a shout out to one particular parishioner, Richard Cope, who along with his wife Esther were big supporters of the Oktoberfest. “We lost Rich Monday to COVID. It is a sad thing for all of us. Richard and Esther did a lot of the shopping. He had been struggling for several weeks. We should call it the Richard Cope Oktoberfest from now on,” she said. Anslinger said she enjoys the German music that this year was a four-piece German polka band provided by the band Chris and Ronnie. “I had a little dream that it would be this big,” Sharon Gorawski said noting the public’s desire to do outdoor activities after being cooped up for months by the pandemic. “If we had known it was going to be so big we would definitely would have gotten a lot more (food).” There was Oktoberfest beer on tap and when it came to dessert, there were two styles of apple strudel. One attendee who provided some, is a bit of an expert. Paul Hoffman could be called the Strudelmeister of that sweet treat. Hoff man shared the secret of making great strudel. “Eighty years of experience,” he answered. He’s sold his strudel as part of a number of businesses over the years. “The real secret is the preparation of the puff pastry made from scratch.” Those seeking more information on the church’s services, bible study meetings, school and programs can call 732-657-2828 or visit redeemermanchester.org.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY e DitoRiAL Soon It Will Be The Spookiest Season Of All It’s getting dark out sooner. Pumpkin spice is being sprinkled on everything. Soon, those scary people will be coming door to door…I’m not talking about Trick or Treaters… Look out! Here come the politicians! The election is November 2, so that means all of October you’ll be seeing some truly scary sights. You’ve probably already started getting things in your mail. These won’t be tales of Dracula or Frankenstein. The politicians will be telling you about boogeymen closer to home. They’ll terrorize you with tales like “The Day The School System Failed Our Children,” and “Salem’s Lot Of New Homes Bringing 1,000 Cars To Clog Up Roads.” But everyone wants a happy ending to their horror stories. They want the final girl left alive to beat Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger and then the credits roll. The politicians will tell you that they are the hero of the horror story. Only they can f ight against the governor (but they are lying because no one can). Only they can save the children (oh, won’t someone think of the children?!). Only they can lower taxes (let’s see your plan up front, then, pal). Why is it that politicians like inspiring more fear than a Stephen King story?
Because fear works. Fear gets you out of your seat and into polling booths. Fear taps into your fight or flight response deep in your brain. It’s a primal response, honed by centuries of evolution – we fight against what we fear, or we flee from those who represent it. So be careful when you’re online, or looking through your mail, because politicians are sending you little tiny horror stories. Except, instead of a movie where you know it’s all make-believe, it’s very official looking and it makes it seem real. Now, to be fair, there are plenty of real problems. But these problems need thoughtful answers, and are often more difficult to solve than a simple slogan would have you believe. Remember when you were little, and your parents wouldn’t let you watch something scary close to bedtime? Well, that idea is still a pretty good one. Be careful what kind of content you are consuming online. Fear-mongering spreads like wildfire on Facebook, and it’s easy to get caught up in it. So the next time a politician asks “You wanna see something really scary?” tell them “really scary? No. I’ll take fun scary instead” and then go watch one of the “Halloween” movies.

Biden Should Push For Voting Laws Biden has a choice to make: Does he want to establish his legacy as a president who fought for voting rights, or not? In order to be remembered as a president who fought for voting rights, Biden must do more than ask the Senate to pass voting rights legislation. He knows as well as we do that bills like the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act won’t make it through the Senate unless we abolish the filibuster. Biden must publicly and unequivocally support abolishing the filibuster to clear the way for these crucial reforms. It’s time for Biden to be the leader he promised to be and call on the Senate to end the filibuster and protect our right to vote. We’re counting on him to do the right thing.

Nature Rules The World Is Nature the ultimate authority - as many scientists and naturalists, such as Neil DeGrasse Tyson and David Attenborough contend - or is man’s deities the supreme and final authority when it comes to the natural world? I have always believed that in Nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments – there are consequences. In other words, that men and women suffer and enjoy according to conditions. As one naturalist once put it: “…the sun shines without love and lightning strikes without hate, hitting both the pious and pervert alike.” That is to say, it’s just as apt to strike the good man as the bad man. Just as I believe that a ship loaded with pirates is just as likely to ride out the storm as one crowded with missionaries. “We know if we know anything,” as another naturalist opined: “Nature neither weeps nor rejoices. She produces man without purpose and obliterates him without regret. Poison and nutrition, pain and joy, life and death, smiles and tears are alike to her. She makes no distinction between the beneficial and the hurtful.” We know from just watching the Weather Channel, that both church and brothel fall alike before the deluge; know that earthquakes are just as liable to swallow virtue as to swallow vice; know that counting beads has not stopped the tornado; know that the rushing lava pauses not for bended knee – we know it. From my perspective, at least, the earth will continue to revolve on its axis, the sun will rise and set, the rain will fall, the seasons will change according to their accustomed time,
and Nature will pursue her course without the slightest reference to the wishes of mankind or his gods. Borden Applegate Jackson
Lakehurst Mayor Endorses Arace Team For Manchester Lakehurst Mayor Harry Robbins announced his endorsement of the Arace Team for Manchester. Robbins has served as Mayor of Lakehurst for nearly a decade, raised his family with his wife, Eileen, and has been a friend to the Manchester community. “Rob and Joe (Hankins) are down to earth, hard-working guys who care about Manchester and its residents,” said Robbins. “I know working alongside these two will continue a great relationship between our two towns, I have full confidence in them,” he added. Robbins is endorsing the Arace Team because they’ve demonstrated their dedication to the town and was impressed by Rob’s problem-solving approach as well as Joe’s background as a leader in the Manchester Police Department and as a volunteer fireman. “Joe and I are grateful for Mayor Robbins’s support, it’s so important that Manchester and Lakehurst work together considering our shared services and proximity” said mayoral candidate Rob Arace. Rob and Joe are honored to have Robbins’s support and look forward to working with the Lakehurst team in the coming months. Harry Robbins Lakehurst

Deadline For Service Academy Nomination Is October 8 From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith TRENTON - The deadline for students in the Fourth Congressional District to apply for a congressional nomination to attend a United States service academy - as a member of the class of 2026 - is Friday, October 8th, announced Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ).
“Throughout my tenure in Congress, I’ve had the honor and privilege of nominating more than 1,000 outstanding students for acceptance into one of our service academies,” said Rep. Smith, who has authored more than a dozen laws for those who have served in uniform. “These elite academies play a crucial role in educating and training young men and women who aspire to become our Nation’s next generation of uniformed leaders.” The service academies include the U.S.
Military Academy at West Point, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. All military academies - with the exception of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy - require a congressional nomination from applicants in order to be considered for admission. To be eligible for nomination by Congressman Smith, applicants must be U.S. citizens living in the Fourth Congressional District and submit a completed application packet before 4 p.m. on October 8th. Though many students apply in their senior year of high school, applicants may apply up to the age
of 22 - or 25 - for the Merchant Marine Academy. To download the Congressman’s 2021 Service Academy Nomination Guide and Application, please visit ChrisSmith.House. Gov and click on Service Academy Nominations under the Constituent Services tab. While a congressional nomination doesn’t guarantee admission to an academy, it is necessary in order to be offered an appointment from four of the five military service academies. For more information on competing for a nomination to one of the U.S. service academies, please call Congressman Smith’s Freehold District Office at 732-780-3035.

The petition circulated by Senate and Assembly Republicans on Sept. 1 would constitutionally require the governor to call a special session if signed by a majority of the members of each house of the Legislature. With all Republicans on board, the signatures of just seven Democrats in the Senate and 13 in the General Assembly are needed to provide the majority in each house to force Governor Murphy to call a special session of the Legislature pursuant to Article IV, Section I, paragraph 4 of the New Jersey Constitution. “Murphy’s new $250 million tax on Shore employers and small businesses across the state is poorly conceived and avoidable,” said McGuckin. “There are better options, and that’s why we need to bring the legislators back to
Trenton and solve the problem without crushing more businesses that are hanging on by a thread after Murphy’s extended COVID shutdown. The Governor is taking the easy way out, ignoring alternatives to restore unemployment without a huge tax increase. If a handful of the majority Democrats get their priorities straight, this can be rectified by a special session of the Legislature.” Since March, Republicans have been calling for Murphy to stabilize New Jersey’s UI Fund with a portion of the billions in federal pandemic relief funds that have been delivered to New Jersey, a solution since employed by dozens of other states. The Governor, however, has insisted on imposing an unnecessary payroll tax (Government - See Page 22)

Continued From Page 1 first was proclaiming September 18, 2021 as Usher Syndrome Awareness Day. Residents who are close to that cause accepted the proclamation from him during the session. The proclamation notes that more than 400,000 people are affected by this genetic disorder worldwide with approximately 20,000 to 50,000 living in the United States. At the present time, Usher syndrome is incurable and impacts three major senses in the body, vision, hearing and balance. Vision loss by those with this disease is caused by a progressive vision disorder known as retinitis pigmentosa. This causes the light-sensing cells in the retina to gradually deteriorate, starting in night blindness. This is followed by narrowing of the visual field, commonly known as tunnel vision. Children with Usher syndrome are born with or develop hearing loss and it is estimated that upward of 10% of people with congenital bilateral, sensorineural hearing loss have Usher syndrome. Balance is achieved and maintained through input from one’s eyes. The vestibular organs in the inner ear and the sensory systems of the body, such as the skin, muscles and joints dysfunction. There are three clinical types of Usher syndrome which are distinguished by the severity and age when signs and symptoms appear. There are at least 10 genetic types of the syndrome, as determined by the genes that are involved. They cannot be determined by clinical testing. DNA testing is the only reliable way of determining the true genetic type according to the proclamation. The second proclamation concerned National Prisoner of War - Missing In Action Recognition Day designated for September 17. Mayor Hudak gathered with several veterans for this presentation noting that on the third Friday in September, National POWMIA Day is recognized across the country. The proclamation read that throughout American history, members of the armed forces have made uncommon sacrifices as POWs, serving the nation under conditions of extreme hardship while remaining steadfast even when their treatment violated fundamental standards of morality and international codes of conduct. The proclamation noted that “1,584 Americans are still missing from the Vietnam
The Manchester Times, September 25, 2021, Page 11 War, 7,555 are unaccounted for from the Korean War, 126 from the Cold War, 72,404 from World War II and more from World War I, the Gulf Wars, the Iraq War, the War in Afghanistan and other conflicts.” Council Vice President Joan Brush ran the meeting in the absence of Council President Craig Wallis. Officials noted the loss of former Township Councilman Charles L. Frattini who died on August 28 at the age of 92. He served on council from January
2013 to April 30, 2019. Mayor Hudak replaced him on the council at that time and Township Clerk Sabina Martin noted that “he was a very accomplished U.S. Marine and an award-winning photo journalist.” “He made laughter in every meeting and he nicknamed me the Township Historian,” Councilman Sam Fusaro said. Land sales held earlier that evening included 202 Pine Street which did not receive
a bid. It had a $4,795 minimum bid. The other lots were purchased by the same resident and included 302 Central Avenue, 304 Central Avenue, and 316 Central Avenue. The minimum bids for each of those properties were $1,042 for the fi rst two Central Avenue properties and $9,486 for 316 Central Avenue. During the meeting the Council authorized the payment of bills in the amount of $5,797,385.67.

New Bathrooms At Lake Horicon Vandalized By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – Borough Officials are less than pleased that brand new bathroom facilities at Lake Horicon - which arrived before the summer - were recently vandalized. Council President Steven Oglesby said that at the current time there is no estimate of damage done but that a wall area was punctured during the September 6 incident. Lakehurst police responded at approximately 9:30 a.m. to Lake Horicon for a report of criminal mischief to the town-owned bathrooms. The damage appears to be done by a large object. A broken ball which was made of rock salt, that was found at the scene, was the possible culprit. Noting a familiar phrase, Oglesby said during a recent council meeting, “this is why we can’t have nice things,” in frustration to the vandalism. Anyone with information regarding the vandalism is urged to contact the Lakehurst Police Department at 732-657-7812 or De-

The new bathrooms were delivered to the borough earlier in the year and put into use for the first time this summer. The bathrooms are operable despite the damage, according to officials.

–Photo courtesy AristaCare MANCHESTER – AristaCare Health Services and Community Medical Center strengthened their bond while improving care in Ocean County. As part of AristaCare’s overall mission of providing unprecedented care, the company’s care centers in Ocean County generously donated 27 stethoscopes to each of the emergency medicine residents at CMC’s newly minted teaching hospital. AristaCare’s Manchester and Whiting centers both are no stranger to CMC, as both have flourished thanks in part to their partnership with the hospital ever the years. “Giving great care in our setting is dependent on having great partners that share our vision of continuously striving to reach higher goals,” said Robert Greenberger, Executive Director at AristaCare. Greenberger was a pioneer of AristaCare’s premiere care in Ocean County, working with the company since its inception decades ago. “It was our privilege to recognize CMC for its recent achievement of receiving an A score from the LeapFrog Foundation.” CMC was one of the top hospitals nation-
ally to receive this award, and in tandem becoming a teaching hospital. The new emergency medicine program, with 27 residents, is sure to assist the hospital to be at the forefront of medicine. As a result, AristaCare welcomed and presented each program resident with the primary tool of their trade – a stethoscope. “We express gratitude for the extremely generous gift of stethoscopes to our residents - they were so excited and grateful for them,” said Dr. Nicole Maguire, Program Director of the Emergency Medicine Residency Program at CMC. “As the director of this new program, it has been so inspirational to witness the excitement of Community Medical Center and its partners in welcoming our first class. Our residents are motivated and diligent in their journey to become the best physicians they possibly can and improve the patient care for our community,” she said. “We wish our long-time friends at the hospital much success in fulfilling our shared vision of bringing even better care to Ocean County,” Greenberger added.

5 Reasons To Visit Us This Winter
As the year winds down and we begin to look forward to the festivities and social reconnections that accompany the colder months, it’s time to consider paying us a visit! Here are five excellent reasons to make an appointment with your hearing specialist this winter season. 1 Ear Inspection: Cold weather can harden earwax, causing discomfort and muffled hearing. Otoscopic examination will reveal whether you need removal of wax (cerumen) or not. If so, we would refer you to an ENT and/or your primary care doctor so they can take of the issue. 2 Tinnitus That ringing, humming, or buzzing in your ear that no one else seems to hear isn’t all in your head — it may be tinnitus, which can be associated with hearing loss or another underlying health issue. We can help get to the bottom of why it’s happening and reduce its impact on your life. Studies have also shown that tinnitus can be more prominent during weather changes, so don’t hesitate to investigate. 3 Warranty Expiration Depending on when you purchased your hearing aids, your warranty may be expiring soon. We can help maximize and protect your investment by cleaning, checking, and performing selected repairs while the devices remain under warranty. 4 New Tech Once your devices are more than four years old, we recommend checking
whether they’re still meeting your needs. From Bluetooth to telehealth compatibility, we can offer the perfect option to customize your hearing experience and filter out the annoying background noise that comes with busy shopping centers and family gatherings. If you’re due for an upgrade, we can fit you with the latest model to keep you hearing everything you want and nothing you don’t. 5 Hearing Aid Tune-Ups & Extra Batteries Winter is a tough season for your hearing aids. Low temperatures affect the functionality of nearly all personal electronics and drain batteries quickly. Changes in temperature can create condensation, which can cause problems. Bring your aids in for a tune-up and inspection. We can ensure they are in great shape, as well as send you home with a dehumidifier to store them in and extra batteries. If you’re wearing rechargeable battery hearing aids, let us check the “health” of the battery before your warranty expires. Has it been a while since we last saw you? We miss you! Make the most of your winter festivities by scheduling an appointment with our caring team today. Call today to schedule your appointment. We can be reached at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/ Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) or visit our website at www.gardenstatehearing. com.

How To Manage Hypertension With Modern Treatments By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Being sedentary will raise your blood pressure. Researchers evaluated 28 older women with hypertension and made them exercise. They compared the results to 17 other women who maintained their normal (sedentary) lifestyle and did not exercise. They had them exercising routinely for nine months and their blood pressure numbers improved. Then they had them rest without any kind of training, and their markers all went to pot! Essentially, exercise helped to reduce both systolic and diastolic pressures, as well as resting heart rate but after sitting around, there were no longer any benefits. It’s not like we had to have a study to know this, but the topic of maintaining healthy blood pressure reminded me of another story I want to share with you today. A new acquaintance of mine mentioned he was taking atenolol pills for his blood pressure (and only that), and it concerned me because prescribers today should already know that the drug is not super useful for this purpose! There was a study a long time ago in the Lancet in 2004 which caused the drug to fall from grace. It didn’t appear to work much better than placebo so doctors started using other medications to manage hypertension. Regardless, there are 3,788,125 people still taking the medication in the U.S. and over 18 million prescriptions were written for it in 2019. Since it’s not too useful for high blood pressure, maybe you are taking it for an off-label indication such as
migraine or anxiety? The drug may also used to relieve chest pain (angina) and help with essential tremors. Some research indicates that if atenolol is used in combination with another medication for hypertension, then it’s beneficial. More modern treatments include ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors like enalapril, and even better, the ARB drugs such as candesartan. There is the category of Calcium Channel Blockers too, drugs such as amlodipine, or nifidepine and these are considered modern treatments. Doctors sometimes use diuretics to reduce fluid volume in the body and these work via your kidneys. There are many agents today, and your doctor selects the best drug for you based upon your specific medical problem, age, kidney/heart function and even your race. Atenolol (and also propranolol) belong to the larger category of beta blockers. These drugs may increase potassium levels and reduce CoQ10 levels. They may also reduce melatonin, your sleep hormone. If you would like to read my longer article on this, I can email it to you if you sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com. In the meantime, Make sure you are working with a qualified professional to make appropriate changes to your diet, lifestyle and medication regimen. Blood pressure elevations do not happen overnight, they are the symptom of another disease so please do not ignore the warning signs of headache, nose bleeds, fatigue and edema.

Drainage:
Continued From Page 1 we adopted Ordinance #20-036 appropriating funds in the amount of $701,000 in order to make corrective repairs to alleviate these drainage issues.” “In addition, if this project were to run over that amount, the Township has made plans to use additional funding sources to ensure this issue is fully addressed and completed.
Once this Ordinance was adopted, our Special Projects Engineer, Center State Engineering, was instructed to investigate and design several drainage fixes for the flooding issues we were facing,” the mayor said. Recently, Center State Engineering provided design plans and bid specs to install several drainage improvements at the intersection of 5th Avenue and Champlain Street; FourthAvenue between Beacon Street and Cumberland Boulevard; First Avenue to Southampton
Boulevard; and then down Second Avenue to Pemberton Street. The plans also include the intersection of Hannibal Street and Second Avenue, and lastly on Second Avenue between Morningside and Gladstone Street. Mayor Hudak said his office instructed the Department of Public Works along with Center State Engineering, to go out to bid in order to select a contractor to perform this work. The goal is to award the project at the
Township Council’s first meeting in October, on the twelfth. The mayor added that his administration will continue “to work with our professionals to address other drainage concerns in Pine Lake Park” He said, “If other areas of concern are found, we will develop additional plans to address these issues and work with the Township Council to secure funding in order to complete those additional projects.”
Government:
Continued From Page 10 increase on employers to maintain the solvency of the fund. The impact of the hike would be felt when employers file quarterly taxes by Oct. 30. Despite having billions in pandemic relief funds that could stabilize the UI Fund immediately, the unemployment fund’s deficit has more than tripled over the past month to $235 million, with borrowed funds accruing interest as of Sept. 6. “We have a better way to restore the fund but Murphy refuses to budge and the Democrat foot-dragging is blocking the path,” Catalano said. “If we can’t get both sides together to hammer out a bipartisan solution, the outcome will do even more damage to a state economy that has been put through the ringer by Murphy’s closing and arbitrary decisions. More workers will lose jobs and be forced into the unemployment system.” According to the nonpartisan Office of Legislative Services, only 2% of the $6.2 billion received by New Jersey in May from the federal government through the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act has been spent by the Murphy administration. “The state has the money in the bank. There’s no reason not to spend a fraction of it to bolster unemployment,” Holzapfel said. “It makes no sense to clobber employers again when federal funds intended for this kind of purpose are just collecting dust. Let’s put it to work and save jobs.” Other states, including Nevada and Ohio, repaid their federal unemployment loans in full prior to Sept. 6 using monies they received through ARP to avoid unnecessary interest charges. The Murphy administration has projected New Jersey’s UI Fund deficit will grow to more than $1 billion by the end of the fiscal year, and taxpayers will be stuck with the bill.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Is Your Automobile Adequately Insured?
Marc S. Galella Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. Michael J. Deem, Esq. In 1998, the State of New Jersey passed the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for you or your family’s medical expenses regardless of fault and less rights to recovery of monetary damages from reckless drivers who cause collisions. Protect yourself! Make sure you have purchased a Standard Policy and not a Basic policy. Make certain that you purchase your Standard Policy with no less than $250,000.000 in medical benefits. Most people who elect a lower amount of medical expense benefits, only to save literally a few dollars, find themselves unable to afford necessary medical treatment because they have already exhausted their medical coverage. Medical treatment is expensive and don’t let any automobile insurance company tell you otherwise. Think about it. If an automobile insurance company sells you $15,000.00 in medical expense benefits (as opposed to the standard $250,000.00) they may lose somewhere between $20.00 and $45.00 in premiums but they have just saved themselves from having to pay up to $250,000.00 in medical expense benefits god forbid you or a member of your family is/are injured in an automobile collision, regardless of fault. Also, make sure you have purchased
the “ No Li m it at ion on Lawsuit Option.” By electing the “No Limitation on Lawsuit Option” you are not limiting your right or your child’s right to receive monetary compensation in the event you or your child is/are injured in a motor vehicle collision. While the “No Limitation on Lawsuit Option” will slightly increase your premium than if you chose the “Limitation on Lawsuit Option” the limited premium increase is well worth the expense. When you are discussing pricing of your premium for the “No Limitation on Lawsuit Option” versus the “Limitation on Lawsuit Option” demand that the insurance company provide you with the actual dollar amount that your premium will increase if you purchase the “No Limitation on Lawsuit Option” over the “Limitation on Lawsuit Option.” Do not settle on the t y pical explanation f rom your insurance company that one option may increase your premium by 120% or 220%. This is very misleading. When you ask the insurance company what the actual dollar amount of a 220% premium increase amounts to you will probably be pleased to hear that it may only cost you $50.00 a month as it has for myself and my family. The 120% or 220% premium increase is not an increase on your overall premium. Rather it’s an increase of a line-item premium such as the premium associated with your medical expense benefits.

... ask Michelle Welcome to our Q & A Column. We will be here every month to answer your dementia related questions. Send your questions to Questions@care-one.com. Harmony Village at CareOne Jackson is here to assist you in your journey. Q: Dementia runs in my family. When should I talk to my parents about their wishes and getting legal paperwork taken care of? Cody G. A: Dear Cody G., The earlier, the better. Ideally, the conversations should be on-going, and their wishes should be expressed before an actual diagnosis. I believe end-oflife planning with or without a dementia diagnosis is important for everyone to consider. There are 5 legal documents that are highly recommended, a certified elder law attorney can assist you; Living Trust, Will, Advanced Directive, Durable Power of Attorney, and Financial Power of Attorney. Q: My grandpa has dementia, and it is getting worse. He drives. We are concerned about his safety and the safety of others. What is the best way to talk with him about not driving anymore? Amanda Z. A: Dear Amanda Z., In Early-stage dementia our judgement and reasoning abilities are already being affected. Talking with a family member about giving up their driving privileges might not be the best approach. They still believe that they are independent and ok to drive. I would suggest having an outside professional like a physician or elder law attorney recommend that they be retested at NJDMV by a Certified Rehabilitation Specialists.

AS THE LEADING RESOURCE FOR SENIOR VETERANS WE WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE APPROVAL PROCESS
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – She was just looking for some sea glass on the beach of Bay Head but what Susan Fimiani found was a chance in a lifetime. The Toms River resident had a rare double-rock star sighting of Freehold native Bruce Springsteen, who is often seen around Ocean and Monmouth counties, who was hanging out with midwestern music icon John Mellencamp. She told JerseyShoreOnline.com that she couldn’t believe her eyes at first when she spotted them both on Bridge Avenue. She said hi to them both and got a photo with them. “I had to be in Brick and after that I went to Point Pleasant to look for sea glass and I didn’t find any so I went to Bay Head. I didn’t end up finding any in Bay Head but you don’t know unless you go. I came off the beach and got in my car,” Fimiani said. She added, “I went down East Avenue and turned right onto Bridge Avenue and I see this guy talking to another guy and I say, oh my God that is Bruce Springsteen.”

“I pull over and I knew he’d been spotted otherwise I wouldn’t have recognized him because you have this picture in your head as to what these people look like, so when they don’t look like that anymore and none of us look like we did in our 20s,” the 51-year-old businesswoman said. She pulled over and The Boss is still talking to a third man on the street who it turns out she knew but that was a whole other story. “I pulled over toward the other guy who has a full head of gray hair and looks a little like Jon Bon Jovi but he’s not, and I say to him, “hey it must be really interesting to walk down the street with…holy crap you’re John Mellencamp,” she remarked. “It was really funny and he said, ‘yeah’ and at this point Bruce had walked over and I got out of the car and I talked with them a little bit. I told them I was a big fan and it was great to meet both of you and I can’t believe I’m meeting you on the side of a road in Bay Head and can I take a picture. We took the picture and they said thank (Springsteen - See Page 33)

Springsteen:
Continued From Page 32 you and that was pretty much it,” she said. Fimiani said, “I wish I had said could I comb my hair really quick (before the photo was taken) but I didn’t want to intrude.” She didn’t think to ask why the two singers happened to be together in Bay Head. “It is still mind boggling so I didn’t think to ask, ‘why are you guys hanging out?’ I heard a couple things; Bruce’s birthday was coming up and maybe they were there for that. Maybe they were collaborating. There was a rumor that they were going to possibly go on stage for the See Hear Now Festival. I don’t know.” It could be that Mellencamp was returning the favor to Springsteen having visited him in Indiana earlier this year to record mate-
The Manchester Times, September 25, 2021, Page 33 rial for an upcoming Mellencamp record. Both singers are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Fimiani has met celebrities before when she and her parents moved to Florida in 1988. “Living there I met a hand full of celebrities. I met Dom DeLuise, Bert Reynolds, Paul Newman but they were celebrities coming into the restaurant I worked in and Dom DeLuise at the movies. It was known that celebrities came in so you kind of knew it.” “When you live in New Jersey running into Bruce is almost a rite of passage. You have a really good chance of it happening but to meet him on the street with John Mellencamp that was absolutely crazy to me,” she added. Springsteen, who lives in Colts Neck, and Mellencamp, a native of Indiana, were walking toward the beach.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 25 - OCT 1
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Find common ground. You and a loved one may be at odds over how to spend money this week. The simplest solution is to respect each other’s views and find something that benefits you both. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Evidence of someone’s love and affection can brighten your day. The only way to get past roadblocks in the week ahead is to roll up your sleeves and show greater initiative on the job. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make a relationship more harmonious by being sincere and truthful. Share your wisdom with children or forgive someone who has crossed the line. Incorporate visionary ideas into your work in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Frank discussions with family and friends may offer useful insights into business relationships or your career direction. Listen carefully to sound advice as the week unfolds and focus on making profitable transactions. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Go with your first instinct when faced with tough financial decisions. You can most likely follow a partner’s advice without fear of making a mistake. Put your creativity to the test in the upcoming week by showing off your projects. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Actions will speak louder than words in the week ahead. Honor your promises and prove that you mean what you say. Loved ones will appreciate your companionship and your sincere compliments. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When you’re
smart and hardworking it can be easy to make money. Make an intense atmosphere brighter by being witty and positive. Avoid making big decisions or signing contracts at the end of the week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your business sense may be undone when you’re exposed to something unique in the week ahead. Don’t spend your cash on frivolous garbage or make impulse purchases that won’t pay off as an investment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Use brains, not brawn. To achieve your goals, figure out how to work better and smarter. In the week to come, think about what you can have and how to get it rather than obsessing about what you don’t have. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Being secretive or possessive may not sit well with loved ones. Allow them breathing room to do their own thing and share confidences in the week to come. Be generous if purchasing someone a gift. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Cooperation is the key to harmony. Without solid support, you’ll have a tough time getting the ball rolling in the week ahead. Point out the shared benefits someone will gain by being in your corner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Current cosmic energies signal a focus on partnerships and verbal exchanges. Rather than taking financial risks if your imagination gets out of hand in the week ahead, do some serious homework to clarify the situation.
