55+ Enforcement To Change
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The ordinance that will enforce senior housing was altered and re-introduced at the most recent meeting. The mayor and council members have previously stated that the goal of the ordinance is to create a local law that gives more teeth to the enforcement of 55 and older communities. This is a hot topic in these senior communities, as everyone seems to have a story about an underage person living in one of them. The residents fear real estate f lippers and renters that would lower their quality of life. Also, they fear that if too many younger people move in, they might lose their protected status as a senior community. However, they also want people to be able to buy a senior home for their parents. The Township Council introduced an

Local American Lithuanian Group Rallies To Support Ukraine By Stephanie Faughnan TOMS RIVER – More than a dozen members of the Central New Jersey Chapter of American Lithuanian Community gathered at the Ocean County Administration building on Saturday to show solidarity with Ukraine. Loreta Garettson, a Manahawkin resident, joined the gathering with her husband, mother and two young daughters. She explained why she and other Lithuanian immigrants felt such passion about supporting Ukraine from attacks. “We know Russian aggression,” said Garettson. “We were occupied for fifty years (Support - See Page 5)

Seniors:
Continued From Page 1 ordinance during their January meeting that would change the definition of a “Planned Residential Retirement Community.” Mayor Carmen Amato summed up the ordinance, saying that it would codify what the homeowners’ bylaws already have. The old version was set aside in favor of a new version during their February meeting. Business Administrator John Camera explained that the new version would keep all the parts about 55+. The main difference is that it adds language giving deference to homeowner association bylaws. Each community has slightly different bylaws. Instead of creating a township code that overrules them, the council is looking to create a township code that supports them, he said. “The homeowners associations wanted home rule as well,” he said. The meeting was standing room only. The parking lot was so full that at one point the police chief had to announce that anyone parked on the helipad outside town hall needs to move their car. A majority of the residents at the meeting were seniors, and seemed to support the ordinance. Some had questions about how this would impact their specific situation. “The ordinance will not change any of the bylaws of the homeowner association
in which you live,” township attorney Lauren Staiger said. The change was introduced as an ordinance during the council’s February meeting. Ordinances get a second reading, where the public can comment, at another meeting. In this case, it will be on March 29. The first version of the ordinance states that “permanent residents of communities which mandate that in accordance
with (federal Housing and Urban Development laws) only persons fifty-five (55) years of age and older, along with either their respective spouse or domestic partner, shall purchase a lot or living unit” to assure that the senior community does not have its age-restricted status revoked. Another section of the ordinance covers the maintenance of property owned by the association, such as private roadways and recreational areas, basically keeping that
under control of the senior community’s own board. It also states that this would not be altered or revoked without a resolution from the Berkeley Township Council. If a resolution were to be drafted, the person proposing the change would have to provide notice to all owners of property in the senior community. Furthermore, any new senior developments in the town would have to follow all of the above rules.
It was standing room only at a Township Council meeting where this ordinance was discussed.

Continued From Page 1 during and after World War II. Our generation represents the third wave of immigration from Lithuania to the United States. We were still born in occupied Lithuania and lived as a part of the USSR.” Belarus sits between Lithuania on its northern border and Ukraine on its southern border. According to international news reports, the Lithuanian president signed a decree calling for a state of emergency until at least March 10th. Garettson said that she and others from her native country are fearful that the Russians will further their attacks into Lithuania. “We know some of our people who are willing to go to fight under the Ukrainian flag,” Garretson said. A tearful Loreta Balcaitiene of Jackson made the conflict closer to home as she shared conversations with family members hidden in the basement of their residence. Although Balcaitiene immigrated to the United States from Lithuania 21 years ago, her mother had family from Ukraine. Several of her cousins still live there. “My family is in Bojarka, which is 20 km (12.4 miles) from Kiev,” shared Balcaitiene. “There are seven of them sitting together in total darkness, who range in age from almost 12 to 78.” Balcaitiene said she was able to speak with her family members by Skype and described the sound of bombs blasting in the background during their conversation.
The Berkeley Times, March 5, 2022, Page 5 According to Balcaitiene, authorities have set a 7 p.m. curfew for everyone to be inside. Nonetheless, most people resist going outside even during the daytime. The streets are eerily silent without the sounds of normal vehicular traffic. One of Balcaitiene’s male cousins is 44 years old, who works as an engineer. The government has ordered all Ukrainian men between the ages of 18 to 60 to stay to defend their country. “My cousin’s wife has refused to leave him behind,” Balcaitiene said. “She said they all need to stay together. They try to tell me not to worry, but that’s not possible.” The direness of the situation includes empty food stores and barriers set up at minor checkpoints. During each of the three separate conversations Balcaitiene had with her relatives, she became startled by the loud sound of bombs in the background. “A Russian girlfriend of mine called me to apologize and was crying,” shared Balcaitiene. “I reassured her that she didn’t do anything. Not all the Russian people are behind this.” Kostas Mastakas, another Lithuanian immigrant who lives in Jackson, joined the rally to bring attention to the need for the world to support Ukraine. He termed Russia’s invasion as an old conflict with all of the old Soviet Union republics and expressed his mistrust of the country’s leadership. “We don’t trust Putin or his regime,” said Mastakas. “He’s not going to stop, and we would like all the people in the
world to know he’s not going to stop with just Ukraine. Putin is a dictator with no control and an anarchist.” Mea nwh ile, Ga ret t son supplied the names of t wo ver if ied sites for those who want to ma ke donat ions

Continued From Page 1 aligns with the organization’s new motto of ‘comeback is stronger than the setback.’ Members of the Brick Knights of Columbus enjoyed their foray into the water and even wore matching bathrobes to help them get into the mood before the plunge. The group’s spokesman Joseph Brown said, “our team total was eight and included our Grand Knight Tom Tahaney, Joseph Brown, Chris Donley, Alex Hahn, Matt Napolitano, Andrew Quinn, Brian Jennings, and Sharron Jennings. We’re hoping to include more members next year.” “We decided to make the plunge only three weeks ago but in those short weeks we raised just over $4,000 which exceeded our original goal of $500. We were new to the scene and didn’t know what to set as our goal,” Brown said, Brown added, “our members and families have taken us above and beyond. I would like to acknowledge a future member of ours, Payton Bower, an 8-year-old who told his grandparents that he wanted to donate to the plunge on our behalf. That is the kind of future members we can hope for. His father is currently away from his family serving the U.S. Army and the club couldn’t be more proud of the young man that he had raised.” Nicole Greco of Wayne was excited as she cheered on those heading toward the beach, from the balcony of a town house on Ocean Avenue. “My friends have been coming here for nine years and they finally
convinced me to come and plunge. A member of a friend’s family has a disability and is in the Special Olympics.” “I decided why not? The veterinary emergency group I work for as a veterinary nurse was able to donate. I’m going head under water and plunging as a member of Tenth
Avenue Freeze Out. They’ll be 10 of us. I’m excited and this is a great cause,” she added. One person who didn’t freeze but had past plunge experience was Joe Sarnoski, a retired police captain from Lyndhurst who has been supporting the Special Olympics since 1996. This year he once again donned
the white furred costume and full head mask of the event’s mascot, and cheered people on as a polar bear. “I was a plunger first and when I started helping the Special Olympics, my wife made me a polar bear outfit. I’ve been the mascot since 1999,” Sarnoski added.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Booker Bill Will Support Families Of Public Safety Officers WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) joined Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and John Cornyn (RTX) to introduce a bill that would support the families of officers who struggle with their mental health or who are lost to trauma-linked suicides. These families are struggling to receive the benefits they deserve because federal law currently limits the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits (PSOB) program to only cover physical injuries - completely excluding any support for mental health concerns. The Public Safety Officer Support Act would create an avenue for officers to seek disability benefits for PTSD by directing the PSOB to designate work-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and acute stress disorder as a line of duty injury for eligible officers as well as those who are permanently disabled as a result of attempted suicide. It would also allow families of officers who die by trauma-linked suicide to apply for death benefits by directing the PSOB to presume that suicides are a result of job duties in certain traumatic circumstances where there is evidence that PTSD or acute stress
disorder would be the cause of the injury. The Public Safety Officer Support Act has been endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police, the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, National Association of Police Organizations, Sergeants Benevolent Association, National Sheriffs Association, Blue H.EL.P, the National Border Patrol Council, United States Capitol Police Labor Committee, and American Psychological Association. The PSOB provides financial support to the families of firefighters, police officers, chaplains, and emergency medical technicians who die in the line of duty or who have been permanently disabled as a result of a physical injury, including physical ailments that result from the stress of the job such as heart attacks. While the U.S. military already recognizes suicides by servicemembers as deaths in the line of the duty, the PSOB does not. “Law enforcement officers are on the frontlines of major crises – from responding to mass shootings and domestic violence incidents, to protecting the United States Capitol during a violent insurrection,” said Sen. Booker. “These distressing experiences can
have long-term impacts with many officers suffering from PTSD and others tragically taking their own lives. To support officers who have made the greatest sacrifice in the line of duty or face life-long trauma, I am proud to join a bipartisan, bicameral effort to ensure that the Public Safety Officer Benefit program provides financial benefits to officers who have developed mental health issues, and in the worst instances, died by suicide.” “As a profession, we do a good job at protecting our officers’ physical safety by providing them with tools like anti-ballistic body armor, but far too often we have failed to recognize or address the tremendous mental stress our officers endure as a consequence of their service,” Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) President Patrick Yoes said. “Law enforcement and other public safety officers face a 25.6 times higher risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or acute stress disorder than those in other professions. We believe that law enforcement suicides are underreported, but to the best of our knowledge, 169 officers took their own lives in 2021. “Your legislation provides that officers in
crisis who take their own lives or attempt to do so will be considered as service-connected and, in some cases, the officer or their surviving family will be eligible for PSOB death or disability benefits. It is time to recognize that long-term exposure to mental stress and traumatic events over the course of service can inflict ‘invisible injuries’ on the men and women in law enforcement. The fact is that severe PTSD is just as disabling as a physical injury and an officer who suffers from this or a similar disorder that may result in suicide is just as service-connected as any other line-of-duty death,” he said. “As suicide continues to outpace all other line of duty deaths, except COVID, this historic legislation marks a turning point in the culture of first responders,” said Karen Solomon, Co-Founder and Chief Financial Officer at Blue Help. “The ability to recognize those who suffer mental injuries as a result of their job will open doors to families left behind and to first responders currently suffering. We will no longer treat them or their service as less deserving of honor and recognition.”
Senator Menendez Pushes IRS To Work Through Its Backlog WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee that oversees the Internal Revenue Service, was joined by U.S. Rep. Donald Payne, Jr., Rutgers Law Tax Clinic representatives, tax professionals and taxpayers, as he reiterated his calls for the agency to take immediate actions to get back to basics, reduce its massive backlog, and improve customer service during the 2022 tax filing season. “Since last June, I have been sounding the alarm on the customer service issues, processing delays, and anticipated challenges at the IRS given the significant outstanding backlog of tax returns. I have sent six oversight letters to the IRS urging them to get back to the basics of opening the mail, processing returns, and answering phone calls,” said Sen. Menendez. “No entity, public or private, touches more Americans than the IRS. That’s why we must have an IRS that works.” Even before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the IRS has struggled with funding and personnel issues for over a decade. Between 2010 and 2019, the agency’s budget declined by $2.9 billion or 20.4 percent. This, combined with a reduction in nearly one-fourth of its workforce, created a “perfect storm” leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.
Following the onset of the pandemic, the IRS closed all of its processing facilities for almost three months and delayed the close of the 2020 filing season, leading to a backlog of 13.1 million unprocessed tax returns at the end of 2020, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO). According to the National Taxpayer Advocate, as of January 28, 2022, the IRS has 23.7 million items to process manually, including 17.9 million unprocessed returns and 5.8 million pieces of mail. “My office has received hundreds of calls in the last year and a half on IRS-related matters – in fact, it is the single greatest issue that we are hearing about and it is time for the IRS to make changes,” added Sen. Menendez. “Navigating the complex tax system is a challenge in the best of times. Low-income individuals often have additional obstacles due to limited education or language barriers. Our goal is to help these individuals, who are lost in the system, achieve a result in a tax dispute,” said Sandy Freund, Clinical Professor of Law, Charles Davenport Clinical Scholar at Rutgers Law School and Director of the Tax Clinic. “However, lately, all of us in the tax community face the additional hurdle of dealing with the IRS, a bureaucracy now laden with extreme delays in case processing. Cases
are taking years to resolve and supporting documents sent in by taxpayers are not being processed at all. These delays are incredibly costly to taxpayers, as refunds are being seized yearly, while cases are pending.” Sen. Menendez has long been sounding the alarm about customer service performance and the agency’s massive processing backlogs. Last week, Sen. Menendez and Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.-07) led a bicameral effort with 45 colleagues urging the IRS to take immediate actions to reduce its massive backlog and improve its customer service during the 2022 tax filing season. Shortly after sending out letter, the IRS announced it would be putting together a second surge team to help address the massive backlogs and continue to improve customer service. Sens. Menendez and Cortez Masto led another letter calling on the IRS to halt
its planned closure of the Austin tax processing center, given how it would impact ITIN applicants and recipients. Shortly after sending the letter, the IRS announced it would not close the Austin facility. In January, Sen. Menendez led 210 colleagues in a bipartisan and bicameral call for the IRS to provide penalty relief for taxpayers. This spurred the agency to address some of the most painful issues facing taxpayers by temporarily halting some, but not all of the penalty notifications. Sen. Menendez also urged IRS Commissioner Rettig last year to keep phone lines open while addressing the unprecedented backlog of unprocessed returns and to take concrete steps that will allow them to return back to basics such as answering phones, providing quality online and in-person services, and processing returns in a timely manner.

Christian suggested a donation for the orphanage. Torsiello agreed, and also put out feelers to raise $1,400. This was enough to buy nearly 3,000 pounds of food that was split among three orphanages. The children have meager needs, subsisting almost entirely on a rice gruel called congee. They also ventured to the rural village of Mushaki. Torsiello said this is
The Berkeley Times, March 5, 2022, Page 9 a farming and herding village high in the hills, but also within territory that is home to some of the 120 rebel groups in the country. “Part of my time in Mushaki was spent visiting a local school - school being used in the most basic sense. Missing walls, a lack of school supplies, and far less seating than students are just some of the challenges facing the school. The scene goes from disappointing to heartbreaking when you factor in the dirty clothes and bare feet of the children attending this school. Then and there I decided to try and make a positive impact,” he said. “After discussions with Christian and engineers back in Africa, we have drawn
up plans to build a cinderblock school with six classrooms, two offices, and four toilets,” he said. Such a building would be cost prohibitive in the states. But since supplies and labor are cheaper there, the school would cost a little more than $8,300 to build. Torsiello is hoping to raise $10,000 to cover any unforeseen costs. Any money not spent on the actual
Jewish Chamber of Commerce is offering a free program, the Morris Katz President Collection, available through virtual and print media that can be used to meet these educational goals. These paintings can serve as a gateway to classroom lessons, whether they focus on a specific president in terms of American history, a conversation about art, or one from the perspective of a Holocaust survivor and patriot who began a new life as an artist. Duvi Honig, CEO and founder of the Orthodox Jewish Chamber (OJC), said, “At a time filled with so much hate, anger, and antisemitism, education brings unity and love. That is why this art presentation is so important.” This Chamber has created the Morris Katz Foundation so that anyone can visit the virtual Morris Katz President Collection at MorrisKatz.org to educate themselves and others. Educators with additional inquires can submit a request for more information at: nj.gov/ education/broadcasts/2022/feb/02/ResourcesAvailableforSchools-MorrisKatz-ThePresidentialCollection.pdf.

New Jersey Responds To Hate With Art LAKEWOOD – In an effort to combat rising anti-Semitism in New Jersey and across the United States, the State of New Jersey is releasing the Morris Katz Presidential Art Collection as part of its educational curriculum in high school and universities to promote tolerance and acceptance of Jews. Under Governor Phil Murphy’s leadership, New Jersey already set itself apart in the fight against anti-Semitism, becoming the first U.S. state to rise to the challenge of Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism while simultaneously promoting appreciation of the U.S. and increasing students’ patriotism. Art is a universal language, and the historic Presidential Art Collection is especially poignant as it incorporates a unique perspective – that of a highly accomplished Holocaust survivor – on the most patriotic form of art possible. The New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education, an arm of the New Jersey Department of Education, has made resources available for schools to meet the requirements for Holocaust Education. To help in that endeavor, the Orthodox
building will go toward school supplies.

Around The Jersey Shore More Than Just A Walk In The Park At Cattus Island
nursing and
rehabilitation center
By Stephanie Faughnan TOMS RIVER – Three generations of one family were among hundreds of visitors to Cattus Island County Park last Saturday to enjoy a day outdoors. Kathy Driggs and her mom, Karen Morgan, sat at the picnic tables outside the park’s environmental center for a few moments. Four-month-old Liam Driggs was basically along for the ride – in a wellequipped stroller. Temperatures in Toms River rose to a high of 60°F, an anomaly for February weather in any part of New Jersey. Kathy said she decided to take advantage of the nice day and the park’s proximity to her home. “I like the trails here and like that it’s easy to wheel a stroller on them,” Kathy shared. “I also enjoy the Nature Center and think it will be great for Liam when he gets to be a little bit older.” “During the spring and summer, there are a lot of butterflies that come in the Butterfly Garden,” con-
tinued Kathy. “They also attract honeybees in there.” The area where the family of three rested a bit also included a display marked “Indian Oak of Toms River” with details on how to determine the age of a tree. Visitors to the Cattus Island County Park Cooper Environmental Center also had the chance to meet one of the live exhibits from outside its regular enclosure. A park worker named Victoria held a black and white spotted pine snake, which seemed content to wrap around her arm. “He is about six feet long and much taller than I am,” Victoria said. “He’s going to get pretty girthy. So, he’s not only the longest snake, but he’s also the chunkiest snake in New Jersey.” Rows of tanks and terrariums contain other living creatures native to the area. Not only were there more snakes, but also turtles, fish, and crabs.Another exhibit displays the seashells found along the Jersey shore beaches. A tour inside the Cooper Environmental Center also includes an amazing assortment of other area wildlife preserved by the art of taxidermy. For example, a groundhog sits on the counter at the front entrance and no longer has to worry about the significance of his shadow. Birds of prey and songbirds hang throughout the Center, while the eyes of deer look alive from inside one of the cases. Children and adults climb a few steps to look where an osprey stands guards over eggs in its nest. Perhaps one of the most incredible visions within the Cooper Environmental Center serves as a reminder of survival of the fittest. Creators positioned a large hawk with a squirrel dangling between its claws. Nature’s reality appears caught in still motion. Another county worker comes into the Center to inform Victoria the parking lot has reached capacity at 3 pm. Victoria’s already counted off more than 250 people who visited the Center by that time. No doubt it’s not the usual onslaught of guests during the month of February. In the meantime, Victoria’s count doesn’t include the many people walking outside on the wooden planks that resemble boardwalks. They will undoubtedly come across birds attracted to the numerous feeders set up in the park. As another plus, the water tower across the bay at Seaside Park serves to pinpoint Cattus Island on the mental map. Children take advantage of the playground on one side of the park. As they race down slides and pump on swings, another group has decided it’s a fine day for a picnic. Yes, it’s a February day, soon to be followed on Sunday with flurries in Toms River. One thing is for sure about the weather in recent history. There’s nothing predictable about it. According to the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation, Cattus Island Park covers 530 acres of land and contains seven miles of trails. The Cooper Environmental Center itself opens from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. during the week. On weekdays, it doesn’t open until 10 a.m. The first hour of the Center’s operation allows seniors and vulnerable population members to visit independently. Ocean County acquired the park in 1973, using county funds and money from Green Acres, a state program. The park earned its name from John V. A. Cattus, the last owner of the property.

4 Reasons To Choose Rechargeable Hearing Aids
Better hearing should be as easy, accessible, and carefree as possible. So, if you haven’t experienced rechargeable hearing devices, here are four reasons to give them a try: 1. Convenience. No more frequent battery changes. Just store your devices in their charger overnight, and enjoy all-day hearing power when you wake up. In general, Lithium ion batteries should last at least 14-20 hours. 2. Streaming. Using Bluetooth and streaming audio can drain regular hearing aid batteries more quickly, but a simple recharge puts you back in business. Typically, 1 hr. of charge will give you 8 hours of use. 3. Safety. With the rechargeable battery sealed inside your device, there’s no worry about disposable hearing aid
batteries getting into kids’ or pets’ hands, paws, or mouths. 4. Sustainabilit y. Rechargeables may go through a battery every 1-3 years —give or take — compared to 100-200 or so disposable zinc air batteries with traditional devices. Much less waste! In addition, since the rechargeable battery is sealed inside your device, it is less susceptible to moisture and sweating which increases its reliability. Call us for a closer look at rechargeable technology today. Dr. Izzy & his Staff are here to answer most of your hearing health questions. We can be reached at 732818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) or visit us 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!

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
5 Natural ACE Inhibitors For Heart Health By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. The topic of blood pressure has become very important now because heart attacks, strokes, myocarditis, hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions are on the rise. One of the most effective and popular categories of medication to help support these diseases are called ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for Angiotensin-converting enzyme. The ACE receptor is where the spike protein (from coronavirus itself, or the vaccines) bind to, and enter the cell. ACE receptors sit on cells in the nose, mouth and lungs which explains the potential respiratory distress with the virus. The ACE receptors are all over the body and in super high concentrations in the heart tissue. The enzyme is partially responsible for maintaining blood pressure. The ACE inhibitor medications are a blockbuster category including these popular agents: Lisinopril, enalapril, captopril and ramipril. There are natural herbal extracts that act like ACE inhibitors but they’re not as strong as the medications. If you see something below, please ask your doctor if it’s right for you. Start low and go slow with any new food supplement and always garner your physician’s blessings. Here are 5 strong natural ACE inhibitors, in alphabetical order: 1. Garlic - Garlic is a delicious spice that you can cook with. Garlic is a natural ACE inhibitor. It helps to dilate arteries and supports the health of your heart, blood vessels and immune system. 2. Grape Seed Extract - The delicious grapes and their skins show ACE inhibition and you can also find dietary supplements
of grape seed extract. It helps with cytokine balance too. Grapes are so easy to incorporate into your diet. In a study evaluating the benefits, grape seed extract significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure over 6 weeks. 3. Lion’s Mane mushroom - This is a mushroom you can eat and sauté, plus it’s found in high-quality memory dietary (nootropic) supplement formulas. Most people know it is useful for the brain, but did you know it has mild ACE inhibition activity? Taking a comprehensive medicinal mushroom blend could help support your entire cardiovascular system. 4. Pomegranate Juice - We’ve known for about 20 years that pomegranate juice is an ACE inhibitor. Drinking it is easy and delicious, however don’t combine it with warfarin (Coumadin) or other anti-hypertensives 5. Royal Jelly - Worker honeybees produce a white-colored secretion that is used to nurture their Queen bee, and you can find this in dietary supplements of “royal jelly” at health food stores. Obviously, do not take this if you’re allergic to bees. Caution. - While life-threatening occurrences of hyperkalemia (high potassium) are extremely rare, I still want you to be aware that ACE inhibitor drugs cause your body will retain potassium. So, you should minimize or avoid eating too much of potassium-rich foods. For example, spinach, tomato sauce, bananas and others. Salt substitutes are often made of potassium so those should be avoided as well if you take ACE inhibitors.

HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY! TIME FOR AN EYE EXAM.
Medical care seems to change dramatically once we reach our 40s. Suddenly there are a lot more tests required, and doctor visits change from quick check-ins to long conversations. With all the changes in your primary care, you may not know that there are changes needed in your eyecare as well. A comprehensive eye exam around the age of 40 can create a baseline to use as comparison as you age for diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration. Sun damage is also likely to begin to appear in our eyes in our 40s. This is also the time when the need for reading glasses shows itself, as age begins to cause changes in our eyes’ lenses. When it comes to scheduling preventive health appointments, eye exams are often overlooked. A comprehensive eye exam with our office involves a series of tests designed to evaluate your vision and check for eye disease. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, please call SIGHTMD NEW JERSEY SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES at 732-349-5622 to schedule an appointment. We offer evening hours most nights of the week. P.S. Eye exams can reveal other, non-eye related health issues including certain cancers, hypertension, diabetes, and auto-immune diseases.

R.C. Shea & Assoc. Around The Jersey Shore
Inside The Law Consider A Caregiver Agreement
Marc S. Galella Esq.
By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates A Caregiver Agreement is a written contract entered into between a person needing care and a person providing care. Usually, the Caregiver Agreement is between an adult child and a parent, a relative or a friend. Through the use of a Caregiver Agreement, the disabled or elderly person can transfer money to family members as compensation rather than as a gift. A properly prepared Agreement specifically lists what services the child is to provide to the parent and at what price. The Agreement must be in writing and entered into before the compensated services are rendered. Since the caregiver child is getting “paid” they must report the income for tax purposes. In some cases, the parent may be able to deduct the payments as a medical expense. The advantages of having a Caregiver Agreement include establishing clear caregiver compensation, providing a practical housing arrangement and assisting a Medicaid plan. Family members overwhelmingly provide the care for elderly and disabled loved ones at home. Although it’s a labor of love, taking care of ailing loved ones also has a market value, meaning that caretakers can be paid as a way to protect assets. It’s only fair that the child who is caring for the parent should be paid for the services. When a caregiver’s compensation is memorialized in a legal document, allegations by other siblings are minimized because the contract spells out the details. Further, to protect family relationships, it’s recommended that all family members
agree with the Arrangement even if they are not parties to the agreement. By having a Caregiver Agreement, the parent may be able to avoid a nursing facility by providing for the parent to be able to remain in the parent’s home or the home of the caregiver instead of a nursing facility. A Caregiver Agreement can also be part of a Medicaid plan. As long as the Agreement is correctly drafted, and both parties abide by its terms, funds payable to the caregiver under the Agreement will accelerate Medicaid eligibility. Since payments are made for the services rendered, they should not be treated as gifts. This will thwart Medicaid penalties as a result of giving money directly to the caregiver child. Since caregiver agreements transfer money over a period of time, they are better entered into sooner rather than later. The child should consider the following points if the child feels uncomfortable about taking money to care for the parent: • A third-party caregiver would get paid for caring and giving room and board to the parent; • If the parent were to apply for Medicaid, money that the child could have been paid for legitimately caring for their parent will instead be paid to the nursing home as part of a Medicaid spend down. • A proper Caregiver Agreement can be a valuable elder-law planning tool in the right circumstances. Contact our office to see if a Caregiver Agreement makes sense for you.

What Causes Bad Breath And How Can You Can Treat It?
TOMS RIVER – For the past few years, many people have had the opportunity to hide a sour mouth behind a face covering. However, since masks continue to come off in specific instances it may be time to start thinking about the importance of oral hygiene again. “Halitosis is nothing more than a term for bad breath,” said Daniel Regenye, Ocean Cou nt y Health Coordi nator/ Health Officer. “About 20 percent of the population suffers from halitosis and bad breath can be a symptom of everything from poor oral hygiene and diet to more serious health issues.” Many possible causes of bad breath include: Food. The breakdown of food particles in and around your teeth can increase bacteria and cause a foul odor. Eating certain foods, such as onions, garlic and spices, also can cause bad breath. After you digest these foods, they enter your bloodstream, are carried to your lungs and affect your breath. Tobacco products. Smoking causes its own unpleasant mouth odor. Smokers and oral tobacco users are also more likely to have gum disease, another source of bad breath. Poor dental hygiene. If you don’t brush and f loss daily, food particles remain in you r mouth, causing bad breath. A colorless, stick y f ilm of bacter ia (plaque) for ms on your teeth. If not brushed away, plaque can irritate your gums and eventually form plaque-filled pockets between your teeth and gums (periodontitis). Dry mouth. Saliva helps cleanse your mouth, removing particles that cause bad odors. Dry mouth naturally occurs du r i ng sle e p, le a d i ng t o “mor n i ng breath,” and it worsens if you sleep with your mouth open. Medications. Some medications can indirectly produce bad breath by contributing to dry mouth. Infections in your mouth. Bad breath can be caused by surgical wounds after oral surgery, such as tooth removal, or as a result of tooth decay, gum disease or mouth sores. Other mouth, nose and throat conditions. Bad breath can occasionally stem from small stones that form in the tonsils and are covered with bacteria that produce odor. Infections or chronic inf lammation in the nose, sinuses or throat, which can contribute to postnasal drip, also can cause bad breath. Other causes. Diseases, such as some cancers, and conditions such as metabolic disorders, can cause a distinctive breath odor as a result of chemicals they produce.
The following is a list of a few tips on how to get rid of bad breath: Brush and f loss more: Floss af ter every meal if possible. The less food debris you have, the less chance of bad breath. Switch to an electric toothbrush: Electric brushes do a more thorough job of cleaning the mouth. Consider a tongue scraper: This tool is specifically designed to scrape out all the junk that accumulates in the back of you r mouth. It’s helpf ul if your halitosis is a long-term problem and not something that just pops up occasionally. Use the right mouthwash: Stick to a nt i s e pt ic or a nt i b a c t e r ia l mout h washes, which inhibit the growth of halitosis-causing bacteria. Use them after every meal if possible. Eat crunchy vegetables and fruits: Snacking on carrots, celery and apples in between meals – anything that requires a lot of chewing and isn’t sticky – is a great way to clear out debris from the mouth when you don’t have a chance to brush. Skip smelly foods: If you’re serious about getting better breath, it’s time to lay off the allium family, which includes onions and garlic. Though you may miss the taste of the food, if you’re that concerned about bad breath, you’re better off choosing less-smelly foods. Pop in a piece of chewing gum: Gum helps spark production of saliva, which clears out halitosis-causing bacteria. Make sure it’s sugar-free gum, though, or you will f ind your-self battling a whole different dental problem: tooth decay. Drop the dairy products: Dairy can also be bad news for mouths, as bacteria thrive on the proteins in milk and cheese. See your dentist regularly: Plaque can build up if you don’t have regular cleanings, leading to halitosis. “In some instances halitosis can be a temporary concern and easily remedied,” explained Joyce Jackson, OCHD Dental Health Services Coordinator. However, in other cases it’s important to learn the reason behind a serious case of bad breath and the best way to go about correcting the condition. If you are concerned there may be a potential underlying health issue leading to your halitosis visit your dentist or health care provider.” Learn more regarding OCHD Dental Health Education programs available for st udents and seniors by visiting ochd.org.

Around The Jersey Shore Sheriff’s Officer Passes Away From COVID-19
Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
How To Avoid Confrontations On Delicate Subjects Dear Joel, The nation seems to be so divided. I even find it hard to talk to some family members and friends. What are your suggestions for keeping things cool? Answer: It does seem hard to talk these days, but peaceful conversation starts with you. Present yourself as an open-minded person who’s willing to listen and maybe your friends will follow suit. You are in control of your reactions and even if you want to scream, “You’re
wrong” sometimes it’s best to take a deep breath, or simply ask to change the subject to avoid any confrontations. Thanks for writing, Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on 91.9 WBNJ FM from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. weekdays on preferredradio.com.

Ocean Mental Health Services Helps The Homeless
OCEAN COUNTY – Recently OceanMHS was given the opportunity to talk a bit about their PATH Program. Homelessness is a serious issue in the U.S. Depression, untreated mental illness, and post-traumatic stress disorder, are
major causes of homelessness. With PATH services, OceanMHS’s staff can reach out to people who are homeless and have a mental illness. They then help them to link to resources within the community, mental health
treatment and adequate housing. They teach people how to register for all of these services, so that even when their involvement with PATH services comes to an end, they have learned how to access the resources and programs
they may need to prevent future homelessness and continue to improve their quality of life. For more information about OceanMHS, or how to volunteer, call 732-3495550 or visit OceanMHS.org.

BlueClaws Welcomes New Manager, Coaching Line-Up By Alyssa Riccardi JERSEY SHORE – Four-year major league development coach with the San Diego Padres Keith Werman has been named the 15th manager of the Jersey Shore BlueClaws. As the season is set to open on April 8, Werman will lead the BlueClaws in their second year as the Phillies High-A affiliate. Joining Werman this year will be pitching coach Brad Bergesen, hitting coach Ari Adut, bench coach Pat Listach, athletic trainer Steve Torregrossa, and strength & conditioning coach Vanessa Escanilla. Werman was a coach for AAA El Paso in 2017 and previously spent three years with the Hokkido Nippon-Ham Fighters in Japan as international operations coordinator. He played at the University of Virginia, where he helped the Cavaliers reach the Collège World Series in both 2009 and 2011. “It’s really exciting. There are a lot of great people within the organization and I’m really looking forward to having a chance to manage some young men and work with a great coaching staff and go out there and compete,” Werman said. Bergesen returns where he previously served as the pitching coach in 2018. Last year, he was the pitching coach for AA Reading after two years with High-A Clearwater. Bergesen pitched in the major leagues for four years with the Orioles (2009-11) and Diamondbacks (2012). Last year, Adut was as a hitting coach in the Florida Complex League. It was his first
in the Phillies system after he spent 2020 as a hitting coach for the Yankees Dominican Summer League team and five years as an assistant coach at Los Angeles Valley College in California. After spending two seasons managing Aceros de Monclava in the Mexican League, Listach joins the Phillies for the first time. He won the American League Rookie of the Year Award in 1992 with the Brewers and played parts of six major league seasons with the Brewers and Astros. In addition, he spent four seasons managing AAA Tacoma in the Mariners system while also coaching in the Cubs, Dodgers, and Nationals organizations. Torregrossa spent last season with AAA Lehigh Valley as assistant athletic trainer and joins the BlueClaws for the first time in 2022. He spent 2020 with High-A Clearwater and 2018-19 with short-season Williamsport. Escanilla becomes the first female member of the BlueClaws coaching staff. Her first two years were spent with the Gulf Coast/ Florida Complex League Phillies after joining the organization in 2019. Returning to the Florida Complex League is manager Chris Adamson and BlueClaws hitting coach Rafael DeLima. Last year’s pitching coach Matt Hockenberry will be the pitching coach in AA Reading. Marty Malloy, 2017-2018 manager, will manage Low-A Clearwater while Shawn Williams, 2015-16 manager, will once again manage AA Reading.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE “Let’s Talk” With Dr. Jani By Michael Vandenberg “ T h e e r a of p ate r n a l i s tic medicine where I’m the doctor, you’re the patient, and you’re going to do this bec ause I say so is long gone,” Dr. Samir Jani said to me recently. “That’s just not the way I was trained.” When it comes to your health, shouldn’t you be in the driver’s seat? That’s certainly the guiding philosophy passed down by Garden State Medic al Center ’s founder, Dr. Dharam Mann, and it’s what makes Dr. Jani the perfect f it here. He wants to use his expertise and impart his knowledge to help you make an informed decision about your pain management. And there’s no question that Dr. Jani has plenty of information to share because he checks all the boxes when it comes to education. At age 17 he was already accepted into a higher education program that included a guaranteed spot in medical school. He kept a high GPA while taking his courses at an accelerated rate that allowed him to finish a year early. Then he jumped right into residencies and a fellowship focusing on pain, anesthesiology, and internal medicine, culminating in his current specialty of Interventional Pain Management. He finished his fellowship and began practicing in 2016, making his way to GSMC the following year. Dr. Jani pointed to a variety of reasons as to why he decided to make the switch to GSMC. For one thing, it fosters a seamless team environment. “The support and infrastructure of the practice is huge,” like the large network of staff on hand, to the electronic rec ord keeping. With those tasks already being taken care of, Dr. Jani is able to put his entire focus on alleviating your pain. After all, it’s crucial to maintain a sense of urgency when it comes to pain management because people are running out of options by the time they come to him.
Most of Dr. Jani’s patients are those who have seen countless doctors and had lots of tests but have never been able to find a diagnosis and fix the underlying cause. “My ankle hurts,” Dr. Jani said as a general example. “I’ve seen ten podiatr ists, I’ve had six ankle surgeries, and no one’s fixed it.” But even though it may never be fixed, “there are things we can do to at least help you get rid of the pain”. Thankfully, Dr. Jani is not the type of doctor who just throws pills at the problem; he has a ver y strict interpretation of the related safety regulations. Not that he doesn’t use medications at all, but it’s only a tiny part of what he can do. “We’re highly interventional,” said Dr. Jani. He can target the pain with various injections, or hide the pain using electricity to target different stimulators in the nervous system. By implanting pain pumps, the medication is delivered directly to your spine, creating a much stronger effect. It all depends on the severity and longevity of the pain. These steps may seem elaborate, but rest assured Dr. Jani is conservative in his relief suggestions. “I always tell patients that if I don’t have to do something, I don’t want to do it. So if I can make it go away with a two minute injection, that’s what I’m going to do,” he said. If that doesn’t work, then Dr. Jani will happily go over additional minimally invasive options with you. He might even just recommend physical therapy if that’s what the patient prefers. After all, he has the tools and knowledge, but you also

THIS HOMEMADE CARAMEL POPCORN IS PERFECT FOR A COZY MOVIE NIGHT AT HOME By America’s Test Kitchen
Did you know that popcorn comes in different shapes? There are two main kinds: butterfly (also called snowflake) and mushroom. Most of the popcorn you get at the movies or buy as kernels in the supermarket is the butterfly shape, which pops up light and fluffy with lots of “wings” sticking out. Caramel popcorn, however, is often made w ith mushroom popcor n, which has a rounder shape (like a mushroom with a cap) and a more sturdy texture. Both popcorn shapes work for this recipe, but if you find mushroom popcorn in a specialty store or online, give it a try in caramel popcorn!
CARAMEL POPCORN Makes 7 1/2 cups
7 cups popped plain popcorn 5 tablespoons unsalted butter 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar 1/4 cup dark corn syrup 1/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 cup salted peanuts (optional) 1. Adjust oven rack to the middle position and heat oven to 250 degrees. Spray inside bottom and sides of a 13-by-9-inch metal baking pan with vegetable oil spray.
Place popcorn in baking pan. 2. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. 3. Carefully add vanilla and baking soda (mixture will bubble and foam). Add peanuts (if using) and stir to combine. 4. Carefully scrape caramel mixture onto popcorn in baking pan. Use a rubber spatula to gently stir until popcorn is evenly coated. Spread popcorn into an even layer. 5. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Use a rubber spatula to carefully stir popcorn, scraping up caramel from the bottom of the pan. Spread popcorn back into an even layer. 6. Return the baking pan to the oven and bake until popcorn is a deep golden brown, about 40 minutes, repeating stirring halfway through baking. 7. Remove baking pan from oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Carefully stir popcorn one last time. Let caramel popcorn cool completely in the pan, about 30 minutes. Break popcorn apart with your hands and ser ve. (Caramel popcorn can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to five days.)
