Local Chefs Share Plentiful Plates With The Hungry
By Stephanie Faughnan TOMS RIVER – The founder of a local non-profit that feeds the hungry smiled a bit as she described what led her to a change in careers later in life. Toni Connizzo Cieplensky, the CFC of Plentiful Plates of Ocean County, once ran medical offices. Her most recent gig in the field was in a plastic surgeon’s office. Many of the patients appeared to have unlimited resources for tummy tucks
Bathroom Vandals Ordered DoorDash
By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – Borough officials lamented the gall of youthful vandals who damaged the bathrooms at Horicon Lake and ordered food at the site shortly afterwards. “We had more vandalism at our bathrooms. It was rather substantial damage,” Councilman James Davis said. Mayor Harry Robbins noted that this time, the vandals were caught on camera as the newly installed video cameras at the lake caught images of those responsible. Those images made the rounds of local social media and

and all types of lifts to make themselves more glamorous. However, Cieplensky developed a love for the food industry that began long before she ever started classes as a medical assistant and moved to a management role. Cieplensky left a job as a restaurant server to change fields when she needed an extra salary that would help with her children’s college tuition. As Cieplensky thought back to her child-
hood days, she easily recalled the aroma and taste of home-cooked meals while she was surrounded by family members at weekly dinners. Grandma Assunta would often find room at the table for the occasional stray who would otherwise dine alone. Anyone growing up in an Italian home knows that pasta goes a long way when it comes to divvying up plates. Cieplensky admitted she didn’t know if (Chefs - See Page 9)
the suspects were found and identified. Several were juveniles. “They busted in the door knobs. They were hanging out there probably overnight and they actually had DoorDash deliver to the bathroom. They were looking for some place warm. The garbage cans were full with sandwich wrappers, stuff like that, empty alcohol bottles. They made themselves at home,” the mayor added. “There was one adult and there were minors. The police know exactly who they are. The police went to corral them up. (Vandals - See Page 10)
Manchester Democrats Host Republican Mayor By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – At one time, according to the Ocean County Democratic Organization, the township had the largest Democratic Club in the county. Now, Manchester Democrats are reforming and during their first meeting, they invited their Republican mayor as guest. “I restarted the Manchester Township Democratic Club this past summer,” Merrill Lindeman-Aptsiauri said. “I began by hosting meetings at my home this past summer. Our guest speakers were candidates who were running for office in New Jersey.” She added, “I quickly realized that I connected well with one of the early members, Kathy Frisch. Since then, she has been a wonderful partner in helping get this club off the ground during a pandemic.” (Mayor - See Page 4)

Goodbye:
Continued From Page 1 leader. Trethaway addressed students and community members prior to his departure saying, “I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all of the support you have shown me over these 14 years.” He said his last day “was indeed a special day as I was overwhelmed with the ‘clap out’ from the staff and students in all six buildings. It meant a lot to me to be given the opportunity to say farewell to the entire staff and all of the students throughout the district.” The superintendent added, “the banners, the notes and signs from the students and

Continued From Page 1 Aptsiauri said Frisch “worked with the Ocean County Democratic Organization in the past, first for the Obama campaign in 2008. She also managed several other local campaigns and supervised their Toms River campaign office.” She noted that Barbara Estok, another early member, “brings a lot to the table, with her past in politics in Middlesex County where she was the aide to a Freeholder and a Committeewoman in that County. I owned a small business in Somerset County for 20 years. My background is as a people person. I became more interested in politics in 2015 when Trump came into the picture.” The group’s live meetings quickly outgrew the social distancing requirements of the pandemic, so they moved to the Lakehurst Community Center where they hope to return soon. Mayor’s Update Their January meeting was virtual and their special guest speaker was Mayor Robert Hudak who provided an overview on the status of the township. Hudak responded to a variety of questions ranging from cell phone tower placement, new developments, land preservation and bringing new businesses into the community. “As you know 2021 was a really crazy year. We had a lot of changes in the township. A new mayor obviously, new police chief, new

the smiling faces were all something special. I can’t thank the staff and the students enough for putting this together and participating in a special day and it is something I will never forget.” Trethaway noted the changes made during his tenure. “Our district has gone through so many challenges, especially over the last few years, but I am proud of how the staff, the students and the parents have responded in coping with these situations.” “Manchester has always been a community where we make sacrifices and help out those in need and also do everything for our students and your children. Any district where the community and school district come together for Kevin’s Kids, Helping Hands for Hunger and other activities is a
very caring community,” Trethaway added. “Whether it was moving the Middle School out for several months due to a mold situation, housing the Lakehurst students and staff to help with a similar situation or now dealing with COVID, our parents, students and staff have done what is necessary to succeed. It probably is fitting that on my last day there is one more challenge and that is that the district is closed due to snow,” he said. Trethaway noted that, “it is said that you do not know the quality of a staff or a community until you see how they react in a difficult situation. If that is the case, then the Manchester School District and the Manchester community has proven what a special place it is. You should all
be proud of what we have accomplished as a school district and I can assure you that the Manchester School District is respected throughout Ocean County.” “It has been an honor and privilege to have served as the Superintendent of the Manchester Township School District these last 14 years and I can’t thank you enough for your support of the district. I know Manchester will continue to grow and continue to address any challenges that come up. I also know that Mr. (John) Berenato, the new superintendent will have your support and will move this district forward,” Trethaway added. He concluded saying, “Thank you again, good luck, and take care.”
council member, new business administrator so there has been a lot going on recently,” Mayor Hudak said. “I want to assure everyone the state of the township is we’re doing well. We are moving forward with a lot of initiatives and trying to continue the progress we’ve already been engaged to.” He noted the Whiting cell phone tower saying, “that is a project that has been going on for quite some time. COVID has unfortunately delayed some of the delivery of equipment but I am happy to report that we were told by Verizon that by March, they will install the equipment on the tower. We’ve also been contacted by AT&T and they are looking to locate their equipment on the tower as well and the hope is they will be installing theirs by the end of 2022.” The mayor also said the restoration project at the Bowker field in Whiting had also been completed and included basketball and tennis courts and upgrades to the baseball field there. He noted the staff engineer won an award for the design work for that project. “The Manchester water tower has also been completed and the goal is that we will no longer have water restrictions in the eastern service area this summer as we have had for many, many years,” Mayor Hudak added. “We also implemented day time fire service last year and our volunteer firefighters were looking for additional support for equipment they needed and we were able to clear out some bonds to get them the gear they needed. We were able to get them the funding by canceling bonds on projects that
were already completed.” Regarding work at a former township landfill, the mayor said, “this was closed for about 30 years, it is not the recycling center. It is the older portion of it.” He said work on a solar array on that portion of the landfill is the next step and the facility needs to be capped “as we’ve been requested to do for the past 30 years by the DEP (Department of Environmental Protection).” Mayor Hudak added, “that is coming to a head at this point and hopefully, by the end of 2022, the solar array will be erected and we will be able to move forward with that project.” He also spoke about the Surf & Stream property “that we - together with the county - we have been able to purchase that property for open space purposes. This would stop over 245 units from being built on that site. I am very excited about this project. Open space is near and dear to my heart.” In talking about the newly formed Manchester Economic Redevelopment Advisory Committee, he said the group’s goal was to “really look at opportunities in Whiting where we can utilize some of our existing resources and bring in some new businesses. I’ve had some discussions with Aldi, Lydl and some of these other retailers about coming into Whiting. “I know at the Whiting Commons Shopping Center there will be an application that will be coming in to bring restaurants to the area. I also talked with a developer about a possible car wash,” the mayor added. He touched on other subjects such as work on addressing flooding issues in Pineland Park and utilizing grant money that was available.
get involved and help them, so we will work with organizations like STEPS and others and the County has really been taking a lead on this to help out.” While Manchester’s form of government is non-partisan in the manner of its elections, it was noted that partisan politics still exists. Also noted was the fierce campaign that took place last fall between two factions of the Republican party and which may well take place again when Hudak runs for a full term in office. The mayor was asked by another member how he would lead the township in a non-partisan way “given he gives broad support to Republicans?” “A lot of the issues that face us aren’t Republican or Democrat. They are common sense issues. I am a registered Republican. I wasn’t elected simply as the Republican mayor of Manchester which is why I am here today. I’m mayor of Manchester I represent and work for all the residents not just some. I always look out for the best interests of the town. It isn’t about the best interests of a political party,” Hudak said.
Questions For The Mayor Club member Pam Fisch asked the mayor about the Surf & Stream Campground. “I’m a housing advocate and I know as in other campgrounds that the campgrounds there, many people live all year round. I realize a lot of the housing there is sub-standard. Nonetheless, where are those folks going to go who are being displaced?” Mayor Hudak responded, “they are not supposed to be living there. They really are living there illegally. There has been a lot of back and forth with violations over the years with the owner. They would have been displaced but at least this way we can
Manchester Democrats Moving Forward Aptsiauri told The Manchester Times, “We have not as of yet held elections within our club. It will have to wait until we can have a couple of meetings in person again. Our main mission is to get the Democrats of Manchester Township active in local politics and to get them out to vote in every election.” “We have a guest speaker at the start of each meeting. Afterwards we discuss ways to accomplish our mission, and discuss current events. Anyone who is interested in joining our club should email us at ManchesterTownshipDemocrats@gmail.com. I also ask them to join our FaceBook page, called Manchester Township Democrats,” Aptsiauri added. The club’s next meeting will be held on February 26, at 10:30 a.m. most likely via Zoom according to Aptsiauri. “We will be discussing, with Marta Harrison and possibly (Ocean County Democrats Party boss) Wyatt Earp the filling of the County Committee positions for Manchester Township. Each of the 40 voting districts in Manchester has two representatives. The deadline for filing is April 4,” Aptsiauri said.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Legislators Want More Transparency In School Aid Calculations
TRENTON – Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Greg McGuckin and John Catalano (all R-10th) said the Murphy administration should stop trying to hide how State funding to school districts is calculated after a ruling by a Superior Court judge. “School districts like Brick and Toms River shouldn’t have to sue the Murphy administration to get a straight answer about why tens of millions of dollars of State aid were cut from their budgets,” said Holzapfel. “The administration kept trying to deflect blame to the school funding formula, but they refused to let anyone see the actual formula or the data they used to determine aid calculations.” Since the beginning of the Murphy ad-
ministration, annual State aid to Toms River Schools has been cut from $66,975,394 to $49,724,966. Similarly, funding for Brick Schools was slashed by almost 20% this year, with a total reduction of 37.9% during Murphy’s first term. Brick, Toms River, and several other school districts that experienced similar cuts under the Murphy administration banded together to file a lawsuit to force the NJDOE to release the algorithm and data used to calculate State aid to districts. In January of 2021, a judge ordered the NJDOE to turn over the information so school districts could independently review the aid calculations. After the districts determined the NJDOE
didn’t turn over all of the information as was required under the ruling, they filed a new lawsuit that was resolved with another court order requiring the release of coding language used to perform funding calculations. “The NJDOE distributes more than $9 billion a year in education aid to school districts annually, but they don’t want anyone to have the ability to verify that they’re splitting the money fairly,” said McGuckin. “Since school aid reductions are directly tied to property tax increases and cuts in teachers and programs, people have a legitimate interest in knowing their district is getting what it deserves.” To address the issue permanently, Holzapfel, McGuckin, and Catalano sponsor legislation that would require the NJDOE
to release all of the data and the software program used to calculate school aid. The bill, first introduced in 2020, was reintroduced in the new two-year legislative session that began this month as S-122. “School districts wouldn’t have to waste taxpayer dollars on lawyers and lawsuits to achieve transparency in school funding if the Murphy administration wasn’t so secretive about everything,” added Catalano. “Since Governor Murphy refuses to be open and honest with taxpayers, our legislation is necessary to shed some light on the dark inner workings of his administration. We’re calling for legislative hearings to get this done before another dollar is wasted on litigation that should be unnecessary.”
Murphy-Oliver Administration Announces New Program For Struggling Homeowners
TRENTON – Governor Philip D. Murphy and Lt. Governor Sheila Y. Oliver announced the upcoming launch of the Emergency Rescue Mortgage Assistance Program (ERMA), administered by the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (NJHMFA). This program will provide up to $35,000 in assistance to cover mortgage arrearages, delinquent property taxes, and other housing cost delinquencies for eligible homeowners negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. New Jersey’s program utilizes $325.9 million of federal Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) money, and is expected to
help thousands of families get back on their feet, stabilizing New Jersey’s most at-risk communities. Foreclosures don’t just hurt the family experiencing them. They negatively impact the surrounding properties in their neighborhood and hurt their larger community. This assistance offers struggling families a lifeline, and can make other loss mitigation options, such as refinancing, viable. “We are pleased to announce this new program that will alleviate COVID-19 related housing insecurity for thousands of New Jersey families,” said Governor Murphy. “ERMA is a powerful addition to
our portfolio of measures to prevent foreclosures and help New Jersey homeowners stay in their homes.” ERMA will also provide free housing counseling services to help New Jersey homeowners apply for this program, guide them through all available options, and even work with their loan servicers to achieve the best outcome available for their family. These counselors will also ensure that the process is accessible to those without access to internet or those having difficulties navigating the process. “Working families have faced unprecedented burdens over the last two years. If
you are struggling to pay your mortgage or other homeowner-associated obligations, the ERMA program can help you get back on your feet,” said Lt. Governor Oliver, who serves as Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs and Chair of the NJHMFA board. “We encourage all eligible homeowners to apply for assistance. If you are unsure if you’re eligible, you should call 855-647-7700 to be put in touch with a housing counselor who can help guide you through the process and understand your options.” In December, New Jersey’s ERMA (Government - See Page 21)

Chefs:
Continued From Page 1 her grandmother invited family outsiders to join them because they needed to see a friendly face – or because they were just out and out hungry. The bottom line is that ten-year-old Cieplensky recognized the value of acts of kindness. She now views it as a legacy she plans to pass on until the end of her life. And Cieplensky still marvels at people who have disposable income for what she views as superficial attempts to make their outsides take on different appearances. “The fact that people are spending thousands of dollars to look beautiful, while others are starving,” Cieplensky shared. “It just doesn’t work in my mind.” In Cieplensky’s opinion, nothing could be worse than the rumblings of stomachs from those suffering from food insecurity. It’s what led the now 68-year-old senior to sign up for culinary school. After her daughters finished college, Cieplensky began work as a server in a Toms River restaurant franchise. She made some friends and also decided to volunteer at JBJ Soul Kitchen, a non-profit Community Restaurant run by the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation. There, Cieplensky met people who shared a common attitude towards life. “I just did food prep in the back,” Cieplensky said. “When one of the chefs suggested I go to culinary school, I initially panicked. I hadn’t taken a test in 30 years and didn’t think I could make it through the program.” Obviously, the former medical assistant was mistaken. She earned her credentials as a chef and also took on volunteer work at Fulfill, the Foodbank of Monmouth and Ocean counties. Cieplensky already knew she had no interest in working in a restaurant. Instead, her aspirations targeted something entirely different. The kindness of her new friends reminded Cieplensky of how she grew up as a child
in the Bronx. So, when a colleague named Josh invited Cieplensky to join him in a goodwill project in Lakewood, Cieplensky was all in. Although she hadn’t shared her goals, Cieplensky planned to use her chef training to feed the homeless. “Josh and I began feeding displaced folks all over Lakewood in 2017/2018,” shared Cieplensky. “This included the people from Tent City. In December 2017, we took it a step further and donated scarves, hats, gloves, and coats to the Big Brothers & Sisters of Ocean County for their Annual Holiday Party.” At the onset, Cieplensky and her small crew prepared meals from their homes. Most of the money for the project came from personal funds. She remembered her prior experience in her children’s PTO and engaged in traditional fundraising efforts like bake sales to raise extra cash to find more money to feed the hungry. The organization formally came together as Plentiful Plates. They determined they’d outgrown the cooking from their own homes. During the pandemic, the non-profit became a major area provider of meals, including feeding those who never ever dreamed they would experience food insecurity. From January 2020 to recent months, Plentiful Plates doled out over 18,000 dishes. Meanwhile, the containers of food all display a variety of culinary deliciousness. Plentiful Plates ladens its meals with a protein, starch and vegetable. The end products easily resemble take-out dinners from local gourmet eateries. And, as the group expands further, partnerships with other organizations continue to grow. On Thursdays, those in need can pick up free meals and groceries from Potter’s Pantry in Bayville. Plentiful Plate’s expansion in the community includes food distribution and relationships with Point in Time, Holy Cross Lutheran Church, Toms River Housing and Homeless Coalition and Helping
Hands Pantry of Ocean County College. All things considered, Plentiful Plates experienced its own frustration with a sense of homelessness. Cieplensky credits someone else who changed careers later in life as coming to the organization’s rescue. “We needed a real kitchen to work together that would be up to code,” explained Cieplensky. “Pastor Sue Jones of Holy Cross Lutheran Church provided us with the space we needed.” In another life, Jones worked as engineer for a major pharmaceutical company. She joked that God had a sense of humor in directing her to join the seminary. Jones said her childhood contributed to her desire to choose a different path. “I lost both my parents to alcoholism and had that whole dysfunctional home roller coaster ride,” Jones said. “I almost lost a younger brother to it, but he figured it out and he’s been clean and sober for fifteen years.” “I know the realities of some people’s lives,” continued Jones. “And I know that you can’t fix people, but you can offer people opportunities and you can meet their immediate needs. As Christians, that’s what we’re called to do.” Jones said that she was opposed to reinventing the wheel and immediately recognized that the people from Plentiful Pates already knew how to do the things her congregation wanted to do. The partnership just made sense. “I’m a problem solver by nature,” summed up Jones. “Partnering with these folks has just been a blessing.” While feeding the hungry deals with one part of what Jones knows is an issue, she admitted she had ulterior motives as well. As a strong voice in the Toms River Housing Resource Center on Route 37, Jones wants homelessness addressed beyond the opportunities Code Blue offers when temperatures become frigid. The Holy Cross Church pastor said that
while she’s not looking to become just a feeding ministry, she’s happy she can meet the basic needs of people who are hungry. Chefs from Plentiful Plates work out of the church to make meals on Wednesdays. The Center opens on Mondays and Thursdays for those who stop in looking for food. Church members volunteer their time as well. Meanwhile, Cieplensky’s not the only one donating her time to come up with plentiful plates. Among the others, is a chef who knows firsthand what it means to be homeless. Bonnie Hipple-Williams went to culinary school and also whips up delicious meals to feed the less fortunate. A former colleague of Cieplensky in the restaurant industry decided to offer her talents in another way. Cassie Simon set up the organization’s website and keeps it up to date. She also pitches in as far as labeling containers in the distribution process. “I honestly think we couldn’t do this all without what I think of as our “Fabulous Five,” said Cieplensky. “Keith McCassrey volunteers as an executive chef, using skills he learned while serving in the United States Army. Michelle Lucas is another helper who made sure to get her food handler’s license to take on any task she can.” As it turns out, Plentiful Plates continues to attract attention. The organization provided meals to families placed in Seaside hotels last year. The manager from one contacted the non-profit once again for help. Cieplensky and her army of volunteers have already started the bombardment of food and other resources to the residents in need. While Cieplensky credits donations for the ability to step in, Plentiful Plates continues to coordinate the necessary assistance. “We consider ourselves part of a ministry,” Cieplensky said. “It’s all about helping others.” For more information about Plentiful Plates, visit plentifulplates.org.

I’m grateful as it is certainly better than the crummy porta johns that we previously had to utilize. Thank god we have the cameras up there,”
Ordinance Work In other council news, Councilwoman Patricia Hodges said “the ordinance committee has met several times. We are now working on the land use section.” She added that while work on codifying the borough’s ordinances is continuing, “we are still waiting for them (the firm handling that service) to address ordinances that we
know need to be addressed and need to be revised. The work is progressing. I think the land use section may not be as onerous as we thought it might be.” She noted that the borough’s finance committee would be meeting shortly and would be reviewing areas that would lead to the development of this year’s budget.

ny. They provided an extensive amount of information about fire coverage from last year. They gave me a nice breakdown and there was 70 responses that they were called for - 38% being related to incident responses, 20% being mutual aid responses out of town. Less than 10% were actual fires in our community,” Councilman Robert McCarthy said. He also reported that radios and new extrication equipment were received by the department. Some of the goals for 2022 is the upgrade of some of the extrication equipment and recruitment of members.” He said during the meeting an issue that extends beyond the borough and is a county issue was discussed. “It is taking up to six alarms and six different departments to attain 16 to 24 responders to work an actual structural fire. This is a problem across the entire county.” “It ranges from fire to first aid as well,” McCarthy added. “We are working together to try and find a way to build our membership.” McCarthy said he would soon be meeting with the borough’s first aid captain, “to speak to him about the state of the First Aid Company.” Lakehurst Centennial Mayor Robbins said that two meetings were held for the borough’s delayed centennial celebration committee. The centennial was to be held two years ago but due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions it had to be cancelled. “Funding will determine whether the celebration will be either oneor two-day event.” He invited those interested to come out to the next Centennial planning meeting which will be 6 p.m. on February 16 at the Lakehurst Community Center building. “We are planning for this celebration to be very special. We encourage people to come out and join us at the planning meetings.”

Manchester Eagle Scout Honored
–Photo courtesy Manchester Schools Manchester Eagle Scout Sean Becker was recognized during a recent Township Board of Education meeting for his work in replacing a handicapped ramp at the Lakehurst Historical Society Museum. By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – A township Eagle Scout was recently recognized during a Township Board of Education meeting. Sean Becker, a senior at Manchester Township High School, spoke to members of the Board during the January 19, BOE meeting about how he earned his Eagle Scout rank for organizing and coordinating an important project at the Lakehurst Historical Society Museum. Becker, a member of Boy Scout Troop 441, said that his project involved replacing a handicapped ramp at the Old St. John’s Church Museum in Lakehurst and cleaning up the cemetery surrounding the church. The Scout said that part of the reason he chose
the museum is because his grandmother used to volunteer there. During the morning of the ramp’s dedication at the museum, Becker also helped organize a flag retirement ceremony. During the ramp’s ribbon cutting ceremony, Becker was honored by Lakehurst Mayor Harry Robbins and the President of the Lakehurst Historical Society George Oglesby who presented him with a pin from the LHS as a thank you for a job well done. Superintendent David Trethaway congratulated Becker, remarking on the amount of work involved in planning and executing the project. “Building that ramp to be handicapped accessible and being able to satisfy those requirements is quite an accomplishment,” Trethaway said.

Emergency Coordinator Retires After 44 Years Of Service
MANCHESTER – Congratulations to Emergency Management Coordinator Arthur Abline on his well-deserved retirement, following 44 years of dedicated service to Manchester Township! Since beginning his career in Manchester Township as a Dispatcher in 1977, Coordinator Abline has dedicated himself to this town, ensuring the safety of the residents and fi rst responders. Arthur was celebrated with a luncheon, and later received parting mementos including a plaque from PBA 246 during his fi nal muster. As Chief Robert Dolan noted, Coordinator Abline leaves big shoes to fill, as his institutional knowledge and experience are unmatched. “Thank you, Art, for your service, dedication, and friendship,” said Chief Robert Dolan. “You will be missed.” He has been involved with every FEMA declared disaster since 1984, including Hurricane Irene and the major flooding that ensued. He served as Incident Commander for the Reade Manufacturing explosion and fi re in 2000; the explosion and fi re at The Pines at Whiting in 2005, and the forest fire in the Wynnewood development in 1995. Coordinator Abline is always working behind the scenes to better our township. His persistence and hard work over an 18-month process led to the award of a $500,000 grant to install a generator at the Municipal Complex. He has also played an instrumental role in managing COVID-related grant funding
2021-22 School Calendar Revised
MANCHESTER – Several changes to the Manchester Township School District calendar were approved by the Board of Education at their January 19 meeting. The following changes were made: The last day of school was moved from June 21 to June 23 due to the emergency closings that occurred on January 3 and 7. This date is subject to further changes if there are more emergency closings before then. Parents with graduating students are advised that graduation is held on the last day of school and is also subject to change. If there are numerous additional snow days, scheduled holidays may be also be used as make-up days. All marking period, progress report and report card dates were also moved one day ahead to reflect the emergency closings. The district website calendar has been updated with the new dates. See the revised 2021-22 School Calendar list at: docs.google.com/document/d/1UMF9-XEH7n-o4CTcB-ntzjc6H P6nY21dGPtq9dcGqOw/edit.

and ensuring the township receives reimbursement for those pandemic expenses. “It has been a pleasure working with the past and present employees of the Township and I will forever cherish the relationships and friendship I have made over the years,” Coordinator Abline said. To cap off an extraordinary career, Coordinator Abline was awarded this past October with the New Jersey Emergency Preparedness Association (NJEPA) “Emergency Manager of the Year” for 2020. On behalf of the entire Manchester Township Police Department, employees past and present, thank you, Art, for everything. We wish you all the best for a happy and healthy retirement!

Gardening For Hearing
Nothing says springtime like seedlings and fresh compost for a bountiful new season in the garden. Planning your homegrown fruits and vegetables? Consider these yard-to-table superstars to help support healthy hearing. Blueberries. Who can resist a batch of berries just waiting to jump into a smoothie, pie, or stack of pancakes? Songbirds love to snack on them, too. And blueberries offer vitamin C, which, combined with magnesium and vitamins A and E, may help thwart noise-induced hearing loss. Kale. The always-reliable kale’s versatility — use it solo or in soups, salads, lasagna, and more — is matched by its hardiness. This timeless leafy green includes folate, which may help reduce risk of hearing loss in older men when taken at higher levels. * Pumpkins. Direct-sow this favorite no earlier than late May for summer or fall harvesting. Freshly collected pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc, which supports the immune system and — in an oral-medication form — might help improve tinnitus. ** Tomatoes. The tomato, a garden staple, has earned its place as a fruit to cultivate. It’s rich in a wealth of nutrients
including potassium, an important mineral for regulating blood and tissue fluid levels — including in the inner ear, which plays an important role in hearing and balance. Dr. Izzy & his Staff are here to answer most of your hearing health questions.

Thyroid Myths And Facts
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Unexplained fatigue, hair that is falling out quickly, feeling cold and the concern that you’re losing your mind! These are pretty hallmark symptoms of thyroid illness which goes undiagnosed due to poor standards for testing. The tiredness, hair loss, thermal dysregulation and brain fog are very common but not exclusive to this condition. It’s true this a topic that may not interest a person until the doctor says you have a “thyroid problem.” So today I wanted to show you that it’s not necessary to wait until the diagnosis is upon you. It’s possible that you can notice the hallmark symptoms yourself, and get help before it becomes too serious. To do that, I’d like to take 5 minutes and make sure you can separate the myths from facts. Myth: You need physician to find out if you have thyroid illness. Fact: No, you can self-order blood tests today and ask for a Thyroid Profile. This is the basic test to take. You may do that test, along with other specialized blood test such as TPO antibodies. You do need a physician for proper treatment and help. This is not something you can self treat. Myth: A natural approach using a diet can manage hypothyroidism, or hyperthyroidism. Fact: No, this alone will not cure anyone. Low (or high thyroid hormone) production requires natural or conventional medication, or a little bit of both! The two common meds used for this include natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) or levothyroxine. You will need to a physician to get a
prescription for medication, and to receive proper treatment. Myth: Thyroid disease does not affect fertility. Fact: False, thyroid problems make it harder to become pregnant, and the risk for miscarriage is higher. Myth: You can’t eat cauliflower, broccoli or Brussels sprouts if you have thyroid disease because it can enhance goiter formation. Fact: No. It’s the raw consumption that has a small potentially negative impact, but you’d have to eat a lot! If you cook your vegetables, you can eat them with no problem and they are very healthy. Myth: If you’ve been taking a medication and it has stopped working, that means you are getting worse. Fact: False, if you are taking a medication and you no longer respond, you may need a different dosage, or adrenal support. The thyroid gland and the adrenal glands work together. You may need natural herbal adaptogens to improve adrenal fatigue. Once adrenals are balanced, your thyroid medication will begin to work like magic! If you have been stressed for a very long time, you may benefit more from a desiccated thyroid pill than levothyroxine which is T4. The T4 doesn’t convert very well to active thyroid hormone. I hosted a worldwide Thyroid Summit and interviewed many doctors and experts on thyroid disease. I offer a flash drive with all of those interviews as well as a book on the topic called Thyroid Healthy. For more information, visit my website or Amazon.

Inside The Law The Bulk Sales Act As It Applies To The Sale Of Real Estate
Marc S. Galella Esq.
By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates Anyone selling real estate in New Jersey needs to be aware of the terms of the Bulk Sales Act. The purpose behind the Bulk Sales Act is to protect a purchaser from any taxes owed by the seller to the State of New Jersey. The failure to follow the Bulk Sales procedures could result in the State assessing any tax liability of the seller against the purchaser. For the purposes of the Bulk Sale Act, the only real estate that is exempt from the Bulk Sales filing requirement is a simple dwelling house, which is a oneor two-family residential building, or condominium, if the seller is an individual, estate or trust. Almost all other real estate transactions are required to file pursuant to the Bulk Sales Act. The filing procedure for the Bulk Sales Act is relatively straightforward. At least 10 business days prior to the closing of title, the purchaser or their attorney must file a form with the State referred to as a C-9600 Bulk Sales Notice. The form contains information about the transaction including the seller’s name and tax ID number as well as the purchaser’s name and tax ID number. The terms of the sale must be disclosed by way of a copy of the real estate contract attached to the form.
Once the State receives that form, it will then review its records to determine whether the seller owes any taxes to the State, including any taxes that may result from the specific sale. The State will then send what is referred to as a Bulk Sales escrow letter to the buyer’s attorney. The Bulk Sales escrow letter will direct how much money must be escrowed from the seller at closing pending a determination by the State as to the actual taxes owed. The next step is for the seller or their accountant to submit to the State a form known as a TTD (Transfer Tax Declaration) form in which the seller discloses the taxes that may be due to the State as a result of the transaction. In some cases, the Bulk Sales notice and the TTD form can be submitted simultaneously so that the State can make a determination as to amount of taxes owed. Once the State determines the taxes owed, it will send a second letter directing the buyer’s attorney to release a specific amount of money from the escrow held at closing. Upon the State receives that money it will then send a third letter to the buyer’s attorney authorizing the release of the remaining escrow to the seller.
Our clients’ success is our greatest reward. 732-505-1212 • RCSHEA.COM
Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
The Never-Ending Winter Blues
Dear Joel, I can’t take much more of the winter. It just seems so gloomy, and I hate worrying about the snow and cold weather. Any suggestions? Answer: They call it the winter blues for a reason, but winter can be a blessing. It is a great time to focus and plan out your year. It’s also a great time to catch up on reading and organizing. Take some time to restock your pantry, collect old clothes for
donation and re-watch some old movies. You will learn to love winter. Thanks for writing, Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, PC: Treating Everything Below The Knee
By Michael Vandenberg Dr. Scott Amoss, DPM, CWS is a lot more than a “foot doctor,” as people often mistake podiatrists for. In reality, “we provide comprehensive lower extremity care,” he said. So yes, if your foot hurts, Dr. Amoss will be happy to help. However, that barely scratches the surface of all the conditions he sees and the treatments he provides. Dr. Amoss (pronounced like “famous Amoss”) grew up in nearby Ocean Township and has been connected to the Jersey Shore community and greater New Jersey area his entire life. Originally, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Rutgers and spent a few years in the chemical industry. However, that feeling of wanting to make a difference in people’s lives that drives all physicians caught hold of Dr. Amoss. He liked podiatry in particular because of its ability to help people really quickly. “You can immediately have a positive impact on someone’s life. They come in pain, and can leave virtually pain free.” Scott Amoss became Doctor Scott Amoss when he graduated fourth in his class with numerous honors from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. He then completed a two year residency focusing on orthopedic, vascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, in
addition to training in internal and emergency medicine, dermatology, and radiology. After that, Dr. Amoss knew it was time to go out on his own, so he opened Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists in Whiting. 17 years later, the practice is going strong and recently opened a new location in Toms River to be closer to Community Medical Center, where he’s a surgeon on staff. Critically, this new foothold also allows him, as a specialist in diabetic foot care, to help the growing diabetic community in the area. While expanding served a logistically necessary purpose, Advanced Foot & Ankle has never lost its personal touch. You’ll never just be passed off to whichever doctor is on the clock that day, because Dr. Amoss is proud to be a solo practitioner. “The patients see me and only me,” he said. “It’s good continuity of care.” His tight-knit support staff of seven ensures that you get the streamlined care you deserve. That’s crucial in the field of Podiatry because, after all, things can get serious when it comes to Diabetes and foot complications. Luckily, Dr. Amoss is an Amputation Prevention Specialist as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Less serious conditions like hammertoes, ingrown nails, bunions, and athlete’s foot can be treated in the office,
