Two Seek Manchester Council Seat
Two Republicans Vie For Mayor
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – While the township is deemed a non-partisan community when it comes to their form of government, voters will choose between two Republicans in the contentious mayoral
race on November 2. Both candidates have running mates seeking council seats. Mayor Robert Hudak has Michele Zolezi who was appointed to the council filling his vacant spot in July. Robert Arace is running with Joseph
Hankins who has a long association in the township as a member of the fire company. The township had some dramatic changes during the early summer with Mayor Ken Palmer resigning in June to take a New Jer-
sey Superior Court judgeship. The remainder of his term was taken over by Cou ncil man Rob ert Hudak just days later. Hudak is the Assistant Planner in Toms River. (Mayor - See Page 4)
Columbus Day Parade Marks 30th Year
By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – It may have taken an extra week to get the weather right, but the Ocean County Columbus Day Parade marked its 30th year. The postponement from October 10 was due to the forecast of a downpour of rain that would have left spectators and marchers more than a little soggy. Holding off a week added to the anticipation for the viewers. The Kaufman family was ready for their first parade from an ideal viewing point, on the deck of their (Parade - See Page 8)

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Two candidates are seeking one open seat on the Township Council in November. Incumbent Councilwoman Michele Zolezi, who was appointed to the governing body in July, is facing challenger Joe Hankins. Hankins said, “I am 60 years old and 53 of those years I’ve spent as a Manchester resident. I am a retired Manchester Police Officer of 25 years and currently the Vice President of the New Jersey State Fireman’s Association. I am looking forward to the opportunity to serve our residents as their councilman because I believe Manchester deserves a team that will listen to their needs and work hard to improve the quality of life in our town. “We are in need of economic development but it must be done responsibly,” he said. “We need to preserve Manchester’s rural characteristics and prevent over development while giving life to our local economy to keep property taxes low for our residents and providing amenities they want to see in our town.” Hankins said “we’re blessed to live in a town that is a hidden gem in Ocean County. Our strengths lie in having a quiet, rural atmosphere where you can both raise a family or enjoy your golden years in retirement.” He added that “residents deserve more outreach from their local elected officials. They (Council Seat - See Page 5)
Vandalism Repair Could Cost Thousands
By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – Fixing vandalism at Horicon Lake and buying video cameras to deter more could cost the borough about $20,000, officials said. Cameras were called for as a security measure after damage was done to the new bathrooms. The small metal cube-like building housed two bathroom facilities. The bathrooms were added a few months prior to this year’s summer season.
The vandalism’s repair cost is still unknown as a piece of sheet metal to replace a wall area has not arrived yet, according to Councilman Gary Lowe. He did estimate that the repair cost could come to $4,500. The cameras to prevent are expected to cost below the $17,000 target mark. “Our hope is that the cameras…are available and we can get them soon,” Mayor Harry Robbins said. Lowe also noted that the cherry trees that will replace trees removed on streets in the

borough due to the prior ones either dying or causing damage to sidewalks, will cost around $365 each. Lowe noted that “we will be checking for underground utilities before these trees are planted.” Mayor Robbins said “we need a head count for the trees and Dr. (Kenneth) Sloan had offered to help us out with the cost of the trees.” Lowe also provided an update on the borough public works department’s troubled backhoe. The backhoe will be having its engine replaced. “It is at a point where it is
losing too much oil so we are taking it out of service before we do a rebuild but it is not something we can work around.” Officials noted the resignation of Public Works Laborer John Wisniewski during the latest Lakehurst Council meeting. Councilman Brian DiMeo provided an update on the phone system replacement which began with the installation Borough Hall and Public Works. “They are only being used for internal use right (Vandalism - See Page 22)

Hudak is being challenged by Robert Arace who is also a Republican. Arace said, “my wife, Deanna, and I moved to Manchester in 2018 to start our family here after getting married. I am 28 years old and I graduated from Monmouth University with a degree in finance. Professionally, I am a Principal Consultant in a tech consulting company, and I specialize in Marketing and Analytics, working with mid-size to large companies to enhance their business strategy and demand generation.” He added that he was an entrepreneur and businessman “who started a small tech firm to help small, local businesses survive and grow during the COVID-19 pandemic. My job as a Principal Consultant is centered on problem solving. A business comes to me with a problem and it’s my job to find creative solutions to fixing the issue at hand. As mayor, I would look at our Township budget and Master Plan to identify problems and work to find solutions to fixing them.” “Manchester is a great place to live, raise a family, and retire to. We need to make sure we elect people who will protect the integrity of our town and improve the quality of life for our residents. Its time Manchester had a team that was willing to work hard for them and Joe and I are ready to roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty,” Arace said. Hudak said, “my wife Ellen and I, along with our three school-age children, Michael, Andrew, and Christina have lived in
Budget Concerning the challenge of maintaining the township’s taxes and monitoring proper fiscal spending and planning in the township, Arace said, “as a newly elected mayor, I would conduct an audit of each department for cost savings and from there, initiate a two-year, 5-year, and 20-year build-out assessment of the town. I would evaluate all township infrastructure for improvements and establish an economic development plan to improve amenities in the town while keeping taxes stable.” Arace said he would “aggressively advocate for Manchester to obtain grant funding from county, state, and federal entities to help keep our spending and taxes low.” Hudak noted that Manchester’s budget is “just shy of $40 million-dollar municipal budget, along with $12.4 million dollar water and sewer budget, securing grants, managing a staff of over 270, negotiating with public worker unions, and overseeing the many aspects of municipal government. My experience in land use provides me with a deep understanding of what needs to be done to preserve the quality of life in our town.” Hudak added that “moving forward, I will continue to work with the Council and ensure that all positions are filled by qualified individuals that not only have the education, but the experience to tackle the many issues that face Manchester Township including stabilizing taxes, controlled spending and finding ways to expand services.” Regarding the tax base Hudak said, “upon taking office, my first move was to work
with our chief financial officer to review an inherited budget from my predecessors’ administration so that I understood what expenses were budgeted for this year. After this meeting I imposed a temporary discretionary spending freeze and ordered a top to bottom review of each department’s budget. I am a firm believer in zero based budgeting which means that each department is required to justify every expense.” Hudak said he hired a business administrator who shares this same philosophy and “has over seven years of experience in that role with other municipalities providing a solid background in municipal budget and finance.” Changes In Leadership Due to individuals retiring or taking on new roles outside of government or taking on new roles within government, Manchester found itself with new leadership, a new police chief, a new business administrator and a new council member. When asked how he felt this transition has progressed since June and how, as mayor he would look at some of the future hires/ transitioning given pending retirements, Arace said, “the uncertainty of change is one of the primary concerns that Joe and I have heard from our residents as we have gone door to door to listen to our community. Our police department has transitioned from one great Chief, Lisa Parker, to another, Chief Bob Dolan; Chief Dolan has and will continue to serve his community well. Luckily this transition occurred under

the Pine Lake Park section of Manchester since 2007. Additionally, my mother also recently moved into Leisure Village West. I am 44 years old and by profession, I am a licensed land use planner and have served in various municipalities throughout the state.” “Having worked in both state and local government for over twenty years and in various parts of the state, the most important asset that will assist me in serving as mayor is my professional experience. Unlike my opponent, I have experience with preparing municipal budgets,” Hudak said. Hudak said he was running for mayor because “I want to continue to use my background and experience in government land use for the betterment of Manchester Township. I am a firm believer in public service and that it is important to continually give back to the community. Unlike my opponent, I have worked in government and understand how to get things done.” Hudak concluded saying he had the insight “that permitted me to build a strong team so that my administration could hit the ground running and I also have a strong understanding of municipal budgets and will not need on the job training like my opponent. We are managing a municipal budget just shy of $40 million and a $12.4 million water and sewer budget and now is not the time to bring in an inexperienced team. The biggest difference is I have that experience and my opponent does not. Manchester has a lot of issues that need to be addressed and I have proven that I am ready and able to deal with them.”

want to know what’s going on at town hall and know their representatives are tuned in to what the community’s needs are. In my first year in office, I will address the communication gap and make sure our residents are heard at town hall. In addition, I will work with the governing body to attract new businesses and bolster our local economy.” Concerning development in the township Hankins said, “Manchester needs a team who has the courage to think outside the box. Before we let another dollar store break ground, we need to fill the empty store fronts in Whiting – which my running mate and I have already begun to address by talking with the owners of those plazas and determining ways we as elected officials can help them.” “I’ve served and protected our community for decades and that experience has built within me the skillset of a leader. As a detective of the Manchester Police Department and the Fire Chief of the Manchester Volunteer Fire Company, I’ve had to make life-saving decisions in difficult situations. My background has prepared me to serve as a member of council by giving me the ability to make the tough choices necessary for the good of the community. Zolezi, 49, said, “I have been a life-long resident of Manchester, as my family moved here in 1978. I grew up swimming in our lakes, enjoying our parks, attending our schools, and representing Manchester with excellence. I truly believe that there is no better place to raise a family. With my two
The Manchester Times, October 23, 2021, Page 5 children, we have been involved in the community through clubs, sports, ceremonies, and a host of wonderful events over the years. “By profession, I am a manager and environmental executive with a background in environmental consulting, land use, and business operations. I’ve risen to the top of organizations and businesses alike during my 25 years in the sector. Continuing to serve as councilwoman is the perfect forum to utilize my experience, knowledge, talents, and love for Manchester Township,” she added. Zolezi said she feels the most pressing issue is taxes. “Keeping our taxes low while staving off overdevelopment is critical to maintaining Manchester Township’s affordability and character. I plan to accomplish this by working with our Economic Development Task Force to ensure smart economic growth. I will never stop finding ways to keep our taxes low while ensuring our open spaces are protected.” “I have been serving on the Town Council since July. Prior to the council, I served on the Township Planning Board for nearly a decade and as Board Chairwoman since 2017. I have been a member of the Open Space Committee, Master Plan Committee, and Plan Endorsement Citizens Advisory Committee. I would like to continue serving on these committees to preserve our natural resources, enhance our existing open spaces and parks, and plan for growth, while preserving the character of the town. In addition, I would like to work with our Economic Development Task Force to foster opportunities and ensure smart economic growth,” the candidate said.
On the subject of bringing in new desirable businesses to the township she said, “we must maintain our quality of life in Manchester by limiting development. One of the best ways of preventing overdevelopment is by purchasing open space and large parcels for preservation. Our purchase of 25 acres along Ridgeway Road last year is just one example of our commitment, and the town is currently looking at additional options.” Zolezi added that “we must also spur economic interest in town by attracting small businesses that create jobs and establish ratables, which equates to keeping our taxes low. Attracting businesses to Whiting and both of our commercial corridors along Route 37 and Route 70 is vital. Potential improvement projects will result in new commercial businesses opening in Manchester.

Additionally, implementing our Economic Development Task Force will help foster opportunities and ensure SMART economic growth. “For years I have been working with our community, neighbors, business owners, and our municipal government, which allows for a seamless transition to the duties of councilwoman. Professionally, I have comprehensive experience in all aspects of corporate and environmental affairs, regulatory compliance, business management, operations, budgets, contracts, and personnel,” she said. “I work collaboratively with employees, committee members, colleagues, and regulators to accomplish goals in the best interest of all parties involved, and I will continue to utilize these attributes for the betterment of Manchester.”

Jonathan and Jennifer Kaufman put up their Italian flag banner and their daughter, son-in-law and grandson who just returned from pumpkin picking arrived to watch it with them. Shelby, the dog, just enjoyed the attention of many people being around.
“This helped us get into the spirit of the day,” Jennifer said as she draped the Italian flag banner over the front deck with the help of her husband. The couple moved in only a few months ago. Nearby Paulina and Cory Duryea of Brick were camped out, sitting on the cement monument in front of the Seaside Heights Borough Hall. “We enjoyed the Italian Festival last week and came back to enjoy the parade,” Paulina said. “I used to love the
big celebrations they would hold at a church in Long Branch. We’ve come here since we moved to Brick in 1998.” Her favorite part of the parade was the bagpipers and dancers. She knew that unlike years past, the Parade Committee could not provide a visiting folkloric group of entertainers from Italy. This year that became impossible due to the COVID-19 pandemic conditions. While that part of the tradition could not be

included this year, members of the Rancho Folclorico Danca na Eira based in Newark brought their own traditional dance style to the event. They perform traditional Portuguese folklore dance and have been a part of the parade in the past. They celebrated with members of the Ocean County Parade Committee following the parade at the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church parish hall building on Grant Avenue. Parade Committee Chairman Mike Blandina was pleased with this year’s parade noting that the weather is out of everyone’s hands. “We got a good turnout, more than I expected we’d get for a week later but we did it.” Gerand LaPenna joined many of his fellow Lacey Italian-American Club members at the parish hall as they made the arrangements for the after-parade meal that took place at the parish hall. “We’ve been doing this for several years. A lot of activity happens here in this building during the parade and the Italian Heritage weekend.” Cruising by in a classic purple Mustang were members of the Central Jersey Italian American Club of Jackson. Brick Unico, another Italian-American organization, sponsored a band. Other participants included the Union Church of Seaside Park, local Cub Scouts and the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps Squadron based in Lakehurst. Forty members of Falun Dafa came out to march in the parade for the first time dressed in bright yellow caps, shirts and jackets. The organization traveled from New York to provide some Chinese culture to the event. Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is a spiritual practice that millions of people have made a part of their lives. It is rooted in Buddhist tradition and consists of self-improvement through the study of teachings and gentle exercises and meditation. Group coordinator Bridget Lee said her organization formed in 1992. “China is a communist country; we have no freedom. We want to share the truthful compassionate quality of our society.” She added, “we are very happy to be here. Some are playing the traditional Chinese drum and 20 are doing the exercise to share with the American people. During these COVID-19 times we want to see more strong health and hope.” Just like Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, this year’s parade concluded with a float featuring Santa Claus and his sleigh featuring reindeer and some smiling elves.

The 11th District hopeful also connects these issues to a rising number of not just physical health issues, but mental health issues as well. “People are hurting and need help,” says Faison. “Government is supposed to be a place that represents everyone in the community...and no one gets left behind.” Faison is campaigning to raise citizen expectations for government leading to a more equitable, fair, and higher quality of life for all people. “It is time for real, meaningful change to come to Asbury Park and other communities like it,” Faison declares. “Hope needs to turn into action and the results leading to a better life for all families in the community...we can achieve this if we empower our entire community.” T he Ca mpaig n ca n be reached at faison4nj@ gmail.com for any comment on this story.

Letters To The Editor Amato Team Cares About Seniors Berkeley Township has a clear choice this November when it comes to the upcoming election. The Berkeley Republicans, or the Amato Team, has worked very hard to ensure the quality of life for all Berkeley Township residents, including seniors. In normal times, Mayor Amato and the Township Council have worked alongside senior communities to battle ridiculous utility rate hikes, acquire grant funding to improve roadways, and to keep recreational opportunities open for us. The Berkeley Township government cares about keeping parks that are within our senior communities safe and clean. Even during the pandemic there were improving signs present, the town government stood with us in trying to contact state officials to help re-open our community centers and clubhouses within our communities. This shows the commitment
and level of understanding the town government has when it comes to preserving our active quality of life. With all of this being said, I encourage all voters – but especially senior voters – to cast their ballot for the Republican Council members in Column A. Please re-elect Council members Byrnes, Guadagno, Signorile, and Gingrich this year. Joe Palmerson Berkeley

Gentrification In Asbury Park Leaves Locals Behind
On the surface, the concept of gentrification seems like a wonderful process that begins pumping money into a poor community in the hopes of driving new population and business growth. You might start seeing some newer homes on some blocks, a handful of new stores, etc. District 11 Assembly Candidate Dominique Faison is speaking out on how the gentrification process is actually hurting Asbury Park residents. “Gentrification is centered on wealth, not people,” Faison points out. “This process has changed the town emotionally and financially as working families have no choice but to leave because they can’t afford to live in the town anymore.” Faison’s position on this issue stems from the observation that the local community at-large is not a part of the process. The Green Party candidate cites that many members of the community feel as if their
freedoms are being sold to the highest bidder, while they have absolutely no say in the process. “The working poor need to be heard...the homeless need to be heard,” Faison declares. “If the ‘powers that be’ want to make the community more profitable, they should be focused on the hard-working families who are already here and build local wealth.” Faison points out the profits of the gentrification process goes to things that go against the community. “There’s no adequate help for the homeless,” says Faison, who is calling on public officials to make good on promises made over the years. “I’m tired of how we are placated by politicians who simply author/propose bills that go nowhere in the legislature,” says Faison. “It’s time for real change and follow through on programs that will actually help people.” Faison believes the issues of homelessness, working poor families not having a chance to get ahead, struggling school environment, and crime are all connected and impact one another. “The lack of social and economic mobility for working poor families has an effect on the community’s children and young adolescents,” comments Faison. “Instead of a school-tocollege or a school-to-vocation pipeline...we see a school-to-prison pipeline.” Faison also points out that gentrification only fuels more housing discrimination and homelessness within a community that is already struggling to

He’s advocated for voting rights legislation and asked Cong ress to take action, but he’s failed to do one ver y obvious thing that would change this fight: unequivocally support ending the filibuster. The Jim Crow filibuster is the thing standing in the way of passing once in a generation legislation like the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. If Biden actually wants the Senate to pass those bills, he needs to use his inf luence as president to get the Senate to abolish the filibuster. Anything less is a failure to meet this crisis.

Smith’s Remarks For The Alzheimer’s Association 2021 Walk To End Alzheimer’s
Editor’s note: This speech was given by Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th) before the 2021 Walk To End Alzheimer’s. He gave a special thanks to Christine Hopkins who has and continues to serve so effectively as the Alzheimer’s Association ambassador throughout the years and for her leadership in today’s 2021 Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Twenty-three years ago, I along with Congressman Ed Markey created the Congressional Alzheimer’s Caucus. Today, our bipartisan Caucus is 150 members strong. Together we fight to enhance awareness, support patients and caregivers, and robustly fund promising research. After years of failed legislative efforts to boost research funding, the big breakthrough came in 2011, when we passed the Alzheimer’s Association inspired National Alzheimer’s Project Act (NAPA) - a law I coauthored. NAPA created a new, frequently updated and expanded national strategy with the goal of finding a cure, or a disease-modifying therapy by 2025. NAPA also created an advisory committee for a whole-of-government response to the Alzheimer’s crisis. The impact has been profound. Alzheimer’s research funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was $600 million in 2015.
We’ve quintupled - that is, increased NIH research funding five-fold - to $3.1 billion for this year. Like you, I am hopeful that breakthroughs will come. This summer - for the first time since 2003 - the FDA approved a new drug Aduhelm for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. As you know, the Alzheimer’s Association said that “as the first drug that slows progression of the disease, this is the beginning of a completely new future for Alzheimer’s treatments.” Of course more trials will follow, but the Alzheimer’s Association’s chief science officer Maria Carrillo explained: “History has shown us that approvals of the first drug in a new category invigorates the field, increases investments in new treatments and encourages greater innovation.” Finally, in Congress, I’ve co-authored new initiatives including The Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support Act to provide training and other support services to those who care for their parents, spouses, siblings and friends who are living today with Alzheimer’s disease. Despite the heartbreak and pain and agony, please be encouraged. Your amazing work and tenacious advocacy inspires, mobilizes, and gives hope and strength to persevere.

By Alyssa Riccardi MANCHESTER – While stopping for a cup of coffee during their midnight shift, a pair of police officers had a “strange” experience like never before! Officers Gainey and Tarabokijia from the Manchester Township Police Department had the chance to meet Ocean County native Gaten Matarazzo who plays Dustin in Netflix’s Stranger Things at the township Wawa. “Don’t worry, no Demogorgons were observed in the area,” Manchester PD joked in a Facebook post. Although Matarazzo was born in Connecticut, he was raised in Little Egg Harbor Township and went to Pinelands Regional High School in Tuckerton. Growing up, he was heavily involved in performing arts, especially singing. In 2011, he won third place with his vocal solo entitled “Ben” at Starpower Talent Competition Nationals in Uncasville, Connecticut. Last summer, Matarazzo took up a part-

Social-Emotional Learning And Respect At MTES
MANCHESTER – Since the school year began MTES has been celebrating respect in a big way. Through our Week of Respect Spirit Days, morning messages, and classroom discussions, they have been focused on how to show respect for yourself, for others, for our families, for our environment, and for our school. Social-emotional learning is very important to us at MTES. They were so happy to have Sarah Stevenson back with us at the end of September, helping us practice mindfulness. Mindfulness helps us express and manage our emotions, helps us focus in the classroom, and allows us to be better friends to each other. Through movement and music, Ms. Stevenson helped us practice our breathing strategies and learn new ways to stay calm. MTES was also thrilled to welcome

Methodist Church Needs Diaper Donations
WHITING – The Whiting United Methodist Church located at 55 Lacey Road is asking friends and neighbors in the community to donate children’s diapers for Christmas this year. They are so very grateful for your generosity in years past in their mission to supply underwear, socks, hats and children’s pjs for the area needy. This year due to the very serious need for diapers, they are asking for your help. They will be taking donations of children’s diapers to The Maker’s Place that is a diaper bank and Hope Center sponsored by United Methodists of Greater New Jersey. The Maker’s Place was launched in 2018 with a broad vision: to become a resource center that connects neighbors with neighbors in diverse and inclusive community, by responding to the gifts and aspirations of people living in poverty.
Originally intended to collect 10,000 diapers for a community birthday party for one-year-olds, the Maker’s Place collected 100,000 diapers during their first collection drive. With so many diapers left over, they launched what is now their “Diaper Depot,” a diaper distribution program that gives away thousands of free diapers each month to families who struggle to provide enough diapers for their children. They will begin collecting now through December 17. Donations can be dropped off at the church office Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. If you have any questions, call the church at 732-350-6878 during office hours.

Marc Cardone and Chris Kobza stopped by to present this beautiful and historic stained-glass art of the police patch to Chief Dolan and Sergeant Vidovich. From 1960 to 1993, Marc’s father, Retired Deputy Chief Edward Lawler, proudly served with the Manchester Township Police Department. In the mid-1980s,
Deputy Chief Lawler’s wife, Carol Lawler, designed and created this stained-glass rendition of our patch, which was proudly displayed at the police department until his retirement. When this was found 30 years later in the Lawler’s attic, the family immediately knew that it should “return home” to the Manchester Township Police Department. The stained-glass police patch will be displayed in the training room, along with the many other historic memorabilia.

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
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

Improper Thyroid Testing Leads To Years Of Misery
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Thyroid disease is occurring at epidemic rates yet many physicians still do not know how to properly evaluate a patient for a thyroid or adrenal condition. Most of the time, you have to take control of your own health care decisions and lab evaluations in order to get well. That’s what I had to do many years ago, so it surprises me that today there is still resistance to many simple lab tests that could uncover the problem. My book, Thyroid Healthy, gives you the simple education you need to empower yourself with information so you can get well. As an example, for the last 45 years, doctors have been taught to evaluate a patient for a thyroid problem by ordering a thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) blood test. Unfortunately, this is not the best way to determine if you have a low thyroid. This test, while very cheap has many limitations which is why getting FREE and TOTAL values for T4 and T3 is useful, along with a panel that assesses thyroid antibodies. Furthermore, the basal body temperature test should be part of your thyroid workup. Just checking your thyroid levels or your TSH is not enough. The adrenal glands are connected chemically speaking, and if your adrenal glands are over-producing cortisol you will not feel well, and no amount of thyroid medication will solve it. Knowing your cortisol levels are important because cortisol can raise Thyroid
Binding Globulin (TBG) which then causes you to have reduced free thyroid hormone available to your cells. In other words, stress which raises cortisol will ultimately lead to hypothyroidism. Cortisol changes according to your circadian rhythm and should be measured with a four-point urine test such as DUTCH or another equivalent. Adequate testing for this condition has barely budged in decades and as a result, you may be suffering needlessly. One more test that I suggest is for iron, specifically the “ferritin” test which is a good place to start. The reason I recommend drawing a ferritin level at the time of your “Complete Thyroid Panel” is because hypothyroidism often causes people to have a low body temperature. That’s why they always say they’re cold, even when the ambient room temperature is comfortable. The situation causes fewer red blood cells to be manufactured by bone marrow (which is temperature sensitive). So if your body temp is low and so are your ferritin levels, it builds the case for hypothyroidism. It’s all about putting the puzzle pieces together. The normal reference range varies from lab to lab, but it should be somewhere around 70 to 90 ng/ml. There are ways to raise your iron without having to take supplements which can be very hard on the stomach. If you’d like to read the longer version of this article, sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com, and I will email it to you next week.

Mayor:
Continued From Page 4 Mayor Palmer’s administration; there was never doubt that Mayor Palmer would leave our police department in good hands before his departure. Ultimately, our residents will finalize this transition and choose the direction they’d like to see the township take well into our future.” “As Mayor, I would request a report
indicating potential personnel retirement dates within each department. From here, I would create a transparent recruitment plan. As positions become available, they will be posted publicly to accept resumes to hire the most qualified individual for the position,” Arace said. Concerning Manchester’s current transition of leadership within the administration Hudak said, “once being unanimously appointed mayor by the Township Council
at the end of June, I had to put together a new team since I did not have a business administrator, a human resources director, and a secretary. I quickly assembled a team of respected experts with experience in municipal government that have proved to be assets to the township.” “My past positions with the state and other local governments assisted me with understanding the exact type of people I wanted in these positions,” Hudak said.
Fire Department Regarding the addition of the full timepaid fire department working with the volunteer fire companies, Arace noted that “our First Responders are important to Joe and I, and the community they serve. I respect our firemen, both paid and volunteer, however, the way the decision came about could have been handled differently.” “Our volunteer fire companies, who have served Manchester for decades, did not have a seat at the table when Town Hall was considering a paid fire service. I feel that it was a disservice to our volunteers to not include them in the discussions surrounding this issue,” Arace added. Concerning the addition of the full timepaid fire department working with the volunteer fire companies Hudak said it was his view that the “paid fire department is designed to supplement the efforts of our volunteer departments. I am committed to providing additional funding to our volunteer departments and ensuring that they receive the tools they need to protect our community. Unfortunately, volunteerism is on the decline and the average age of our volunteers is increasing each year. “The Township is required by law to provide fire service. Our paid department supplements our volunteers when most are working in the daytime Monday through Friday. I am looking to include a maintenance line item in our 2022 budget to assist our volunteers in maintaining our equipment and protecting these vital assets,” Hudak added.
Vandalism:
Continued From Page 1 now. The phone lines haven’t been transferred over yet but that is coming. They will be doing the police department phones and by October 26 the inbound phone lines from AT&T will come in with the new provider of the phones.” Councilwoman Patricia Hodges said the “ordinance committee has been working quite diligently. We took a little detour this week. The policy procedures need to be updated and approved by the middle of November. There are personnel issues we need to address. We went through the entire manual and we have seen where we needed to recommend making changes.” “We will have that manual hopefully for approval on the next agenda in November. We’ve been working on the ordinances too. We’re going to keep that going it is an ongoing process but it is necessary and we’ll get through it. It won’t be fast but it will be thorough,” she added.
Correction In the October 16 story “Historical Societies Share Stories Of The Past,” one of the participants was misidentified. The member of the Brick Historical Society in attendance was Ed Mangold, not Gene Donatiello. We regret the error.

Inside The Law UBER- Lyft Transportation Network Companies
Michael J. Deem, Esq.
Are You Adequately Insured During A Ride Share?
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates Over the last few years, Transportation Network Companies such as Uber and Lyft have become the go-to livery service rather than the common taxi driver. Many people use these companies on a daily or weekly basis. But what happens when you are involved in a collision while a passenger in a Lyft or Uber rideshare vehicle? Are you covered? Recently, the New Jersey Legislature defined the scope of mandatory insurance coverage for the transportation network companies and their drivers (such as Uber or Lyft). While an occupant of a prearranged ride, the transportation network company and or the driver shall maintain the following insurance coverage for your benefit: (1) primary automobile liability insurance in the amount of at least $1,500,000 for death, bodily injury, and property damage; and (2 uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage in an amount of at least $1,500,000. This insurance coverage, which is to be maintained by the transportation network company (Uber / Lyft), shall not be dependent upon your automobile insurer first denying a claim, nor shall your automobile insurance policy be required to first deny a claim. This means that the insurance provided by the Transportation Network Companies such as Uber and Lyft is primary. However, the Transportation Network Companies are not required to provide medical coverage in the event you are injured while an occupant of the rideshare vehicle. Moreover, because Uber and Lyft are a form a livery service, the ride share vehicle is not covered under your automobile Personal Injury Protection (PIP) medical expense insurance coverage. Consequently, unless
you have access to health insurance, you will be uninsured for your medical expenses although, if you happen to fall into the uninsured status, you are not without recourse. An uninsured passenger may recover his/ her medical expenses from the party who caused the collision. This is a departure from the previous concept of the personal injury protection laws which prohibited recovery of medical expenses from the atfault driver. Finally, the Limitation on Lawsuit Option which ordinarily restricts an injured motorists’ right to sue for personal injuries, shall not be asserted by a transportation network company or a transportation network company driver in defense to any action for damages arising from a prearranged ride, nor shall it be asserted against any party not receiving personal injury protection benefits in any action for damages arising from a prearranged. This means that your personal injury lawsuit will not be burdened with the requirement that you prove that the collision caused an objectively verifiable permanent injury. Rather, any disability related to the collision will suffice, which is a much simpler burden of proof. Ridesharing has become much easier and transparent with the advancement of technology. So it’s about time the Legislature has acted to protect the interests of the consumer by mandating insurance coverage and removing the obstacles of a lawsuit in the event of an injury while riding in a livery vehicle.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE RWJBarnabas Health Exceeds 10,000 Monoclonal Antibody Therapy Doses
WEST ORANGE – RWJBarnabas Health, the most comprehensive academic health care system in New Jersey, has been at the nation’s forefront in offering monoclonal antibody therapy to patients with COVID-19. This treatment utilizes laboratory-made proteins to bolster the immune system’s ability to fight off the virus. To date, RWJBarnabas Health’s 11 acute care hospitals have administered over 10,400 doses of the infusion treatment with a 96% success rate. Nearly 98% of patients treated with the therapy are able to recover at home. “As therapies and criteria for treatment have changed over time, RWJBarnabas Health’s program has expanded,” said John F. Bonamo, MD, MS, FACOG, FACPE, Executive Vice President, Chief Medical and Quality Officer, RWJBarnabas Health. “We continue to administer the therapy through an infusion to patients who test positive for COVID-19, as well as to those who have had a significant exposure to COVID 19 and are at high risk for progression to severe illness. After the one-hour treatment and a one-hour observation period, patients are sent home with monitoring devices and followed via telehealth, which limits the possibility that they may spread the virus within the hospital.” Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the treatment consists of man-made proteins coded from COVID-19 survivors’ genetic material that mimic the
body’s ability to fight off infection. Designed for those at high risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19, monoclonal antibodies strengthen recipients’ immune systems and ultimately hasten recovery while alleviating symptoms and keeping infected individuals out of the hospital. To be candidates for treatment, patients must meet certain criteria, test positive for coronavirus, present within 10 days of symptom onset and not be sick enough to require oxygen or hospitalization. “As we continue administering the vaccine to individuals across New Jersey, it’s crucial that we’re also building and expanding treatment options at our facilities,” said Indu Lew, Pharm D, Executive Vice President and Chief Pharmacy Officer, RWJBarnabas Health. “For our high-risk patients who test positive and for those that meet the criteria for prophylaxis, we need a safe and effective way to intervene before the virus becomes a potentially devastating health emergency for these individuals. This treatment is a tool, and it’s become a vital weapon in our fight against COVID-19.” Administered through an IV, which generally takes about an hour, patients receive the treatment in one of the system’s Emergency Departments, are then observed for an hour, and recover at home with continued observation via virtual check-ins and telehealth (RWJBarnabas - See Page 32)

appointments with hospital physicians. “Our treatment decisions throughout the pandemic have been driven by two priorities,” said Christopher Freer, DO, FACEP, Senior Vice President for Emergency and Hospitalist Medicine of RWJBarnabas Health. “One, improve outcomes for the patients already in our care and two, preserve resources as much as possible for the next person coming through our doors. Monoclonal antibody therapy accomplishes both.” To determine eligibility and treatment plans, it is suggested that patients contact their physician before coming to the Emergency Department for treatment.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Social Security Announces 5.9 Percent Benefit Increase For 2022
NEW JERSEY – Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for approximately 70 million Americans will increase 5.9 percent in 2022, the Social Security Administration announced today. The 5.9 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) will begin with benefits payable to more than 64 million Social Security beneficiaries in January 2022. Increased payments to approximately 8 million SSI beneficiaries will begin on December 30, 2021. (Note: some people receive both Social Security and SSI benefits). The Social Security Act ties the annual COLA to the increase in the Consumer Price Index as determined by the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some other adjustments that take effect in January of each year are based on the increase in average wages. Based on that increase, the maximum amount of earnings subject to the Social Security tax (taxable maximum) will increase to $147,000 from $142,800.
Social Security and SSI beneficiaries are normally notified by mail starting in early December about their new benefit amount. Most people who receive Social Security payments will be able to view their COLA notice online through their personal my Social Security account. People may create or access their my Social Security account online at socialsecurity. gov/myaccount. Information about Medicare changes for 2022, when announced, will be available at medicare.gov. For Social Security beneficiaries receiving Medicare, Social Security will not be able to compute their new benefit amount until after the Medicare premium amounts for 2022 are announced. Final 2022 benefit amounts will be communicated to beneficiaries in December through the mailed COLA notice and my Social Security’s Message Center. The Social Security Act provides for how the COLA is calculated. To read more, please visit socialsecurity.gov/cola.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of OCT 23 - OCT 29
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Every choice can move you closer to or farther away from your goals. An unusual or interesting purchase might worth your time but avoid making decisions or changes to investments until the second half of the week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Breaking up is hard to do. You could be attracted to someone or something that is simply wrong for you. In the upcoming week you may be faced with a tricky relationship situation in which you must tread carefully. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Put any tantalizing possibility on the back burner until the second half of the week. If you pursue a business or romantic relationship right now a power struggle could ensue. Gather more information and wait for better timing. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Uphold your boundaries if a loved one is headstrong or insistent on having their own way. Put important plans into motion in the second half of the week when it might be easier to obtain cooperation from others. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you have extra time spend it with a loved one who shares your love of adventure. Visit places you have never seen before. Avoid power struggles on the job and do not make any commitments in the first half of the week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Put on your thinking cap. In the week to come you may have many demands on your cash, but smart thinking can prevent negative cash flow. Something new might attract you but may not
prove to be of lasting value. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may not be shy about displaying your skills in the week to come. Community activities may prove satisfying where your enthusiasm is probably contagious. Avoid antagonizing loved ones just when diplomacy is needed the most. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Breaking a few rules may or may not fly. In the week ahead some people may refuse to go along with the group and disrupt your plans. Honor your promises and contracts even if it cramps your style. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may enjoy some lighthearted fun and treats in the upcoming week. There should be no reason to ignore an invitation or social occasion, even if your closest companions may be riveted on work and accomplishment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your superpowers are on point now but be mindful how you display them. If you throw your weight around too much this week it might annoy a few people and cause you to miss out on something important. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t volunteer to take on new debts or commitments in the week ahead but do not try to evade a family responsibility. Your willingness to be a team player and enthusiastic approach can be a source of comfort to others. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): At some point during the day today you might have a chance to take a time out for quiet reflection. Discussions may revolve around emotional issues of little importance. Avoid major cash outlays this week.
