A Question Of State Aid
By Jennifer Peacock It’s not a million, but they’ll take it. The Manchester Township School District is still more than a million dollars shy of the state aid the district received five years ago, officials said. However, the district will receive a slight increase in aid for the 2016-17 budget year. The state released its numbers February 19, with 300 school districts seeing a less than 1 percent increase in the state aid received. Manchester will see $50,491 more than last year, which makes the proposed total aid of $5,561,621. Board of Education President Donald Webster was at the governor’s budget presentation in Trenton, and said he was cautiously optimistic about the state aid numbers. He spoke with The Manchester Times before Friday’s figure release. “We lost $2.3 million as soon as he [Governor Chris Christie] came – As Manchester plans to receive o n b o a r d , ” Webster said. a slight increase in aid toward “That’s when school budget, officials look at we laid off or years where aid shrunk – didn’t fill 20• $5.56 million in some positions, we had proposed state aid. no Fresh men • Up less than 1% sports, and all over last year sorts of other • $50,491 more in state aid stuff that we’ve • In 2010, Manchester lost gradually been able to get some $2.3 million in state aid. but not all of

We’re still a million dollars below where we were 5 years ago, and we were complaining at that time that state aid only made up 15 or 16 percent of our budget.” State aid makes up a smaller percentage of the school budget now, he said. “Most of it is funded by local taxpayers. Now we’re down (State Aid - See Page 4)
By Jennifer Peacock LA K EH U RST – T he Lakehurst Borough Council will have its second reading and possible final vote on an ordinance that will ban parking on Fays Lane, a lane perpendicular to Center Street and parallel to Union Avenue. Council President Steven O g le s by t old council and several meeting attendees February 18 that although it was representatives of the VFW Post 10061 on Union Avenue asked that something be done about parking, the Council was not making the move solely based on that request.
Although some parked cars may belong to visitors to local businesses, most of the parked vehicles along Fays Lane belong to residents of Villas at Center Crossing, a small development of three-story tow n homes. Each townhome has a single-car garage and shallow driveway, which appears to fit a mid-sized car but not the commercial pick-up trucks that lined Fays Lane. A single lane, Bove Lane, runs through the townhome complex and is owned by Center Development Company, LLC. The narrow lane can only accommodate vehicles (Council - See Page 4)
Free Events Focus On Women’s History
OCEA N COU NTY – March is Women’s History Month and the Ocean County Library will recognize the achievements of women and their struggle for equality through a variety of special programs at its branches.

of the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for Humanities produced by the American Historical Theatre.

Howe, a pro-suffragist, wrote her Anti-Suffrage monologue in 1912 – eight years before women won the right to vote. Her fictional speaker is a charming, guileless enthusiast who believes that her efforts as a “womanly
woman” will keep the home intact and save the nation from anarchy. Call for more info: 609-698-3331. March 7 at 6 p.m. at the Tucker ton branch: The film “Suffragette” will be screened at the Tuckerton branch, 380 Bay Ave. It features early feminist movement history and focuses on women who were forced underground as they fought for equality.

parked on one side of it, and may be difficult to navigate with larger vehicles. The VFW complained at a Council meeting last year that delivery trucks couldn’t navigate the tight space—its own back parking lot can accommodate approximately 10 vehicles, with a narrow stretch in the center in which trucks must back in and out—with vehicles parked on Fays. They asked that parking be restricted to certain hours of the day. The ordinance #16-02 would prohibit parking on both sides of the street, “From the intersection of Fays Lane and Center Street, extending 550 feet in the easterly direction to the end of the improved street.”

to around 10 percent (in state aid). So, if you think about it, the state income tax is the primary source to fund state aid back to school districts. So, in Manchester, for every dollar of our revenue that’s sent to Trenton in terms of income taxes, we only get about 10 cents back. The typical district gets something on the order of 30 cents.” He said that nearly 30 percent of the district’s students are eligible for Title 1 funding, and the district should be seeing 50 cents on that dollar. “Unfortunately the difference has to do with the whole calculation around wealth. The fact that we have so many seniors in these large, high density communities and we have very little else in the way of retail, commercial,” Webster said. “In Manchester,

for whatever reason the Town Fathers put all their eggs in that one basket, and now that’s coming back to bite us.” Pretty much as soon as one budget season is completed, it’s a short breather before the next budget needs to be planned for. District Business Administrator Craig Lorentzen said most state aid is earmarked for specific uses, such as transportation, security, and special education. He agreed with Webster that the aid only represents 10 percent of the district’s total revenue. The district’s 2015-16 operating budget was $50.2 million. The mayors of Manchester and Berkeley townships, Kenneth Palmer and Carmen Amato have worked toward getting more state aid for their schools. Manchester Councilman Craig Wallis has asked municipalities across the state to pass resolutions calling for equal school funding.

Lakehurst resident Dona Sinton, with her husband Mike, President and Fire Fighter with Lakehurst Fire Co. No. 1, Station 62, expressed concerns about a fire truck being able to navigate through those streets should residents be forced to crowd Bove Lane.

The ordinance will have its second reading and vote at the regular March 3 meeting, 7:30 p.m. at the Community Center, 207 Center St. The public will have a chance to comment before Council votes.

Editorial Celebrate New Jersey’s History February is honored as Black History Month, and March for Women’s History Month. Our wonderful local community groups, schools and libraries have set up a great variety of events geared around the history of both these groups, respective to the months. If you haven’t checked those events out, there is still time to do so. But also take a moment and learn about the current and past individuals right from our communities who are a part of that rich, diverse history. The libraries and historical societies in our neighborhoods can help you learn more about the men and women who make up our towns’ past, and who deserve recognition for their efforts. Here are just two stories: The first black fire chief in Ocean County was Garland Griffin, who served as chief of Manitou Park Fire and Rescue Squad from 1959 to 1976. According to the fire company’s history, the plans to have a firehouse on 3rd Avenue and 4th Street in Manitou Park came shortly after its founding on paper in 1959. By 1960, Manitou, with an all black membership of 32, went house to house in a fund drive to purchase block to lay the foundation. Building materials and the work of its members came together to build the firehouse, and over the next two years the squad compiled its first firefighting equipment and vehicles.
According to the squad history: at first, certain fire companies in the area and township officials did not want to recognize the fire company, and gradually the squad volunteers became frustrated and began to quit. Seven firefighters remained in 1967, when the suggestion came that Manitou should disband and sell the firehouse to the township to store road department equipment. But Chief Griffin instead launched a recruitment campaign that paid no mind to the racial divide. “A man doesn’t care what color a fireman is when his house is burning” was the slogan Griffin used to recruit new members. He was right; and membership grew. For Women’s History Month, Ocean County has a proud distinction. In 1915, the state had a referendum question on the ballot, the first vote on womens’ suffrage, asking voters if women should have the right to vote in New Jersey. Every single county in New Jersey voted no – except Ocean County, where more voters said yes. Obviously, the vote failed that day. But, five years later an amendment to the U.S. Constitution was adopted by New Jersey and the other states that would give women the right to vote in the United States. For more stories such as these, consider visiting the Ocean County Historical Society, or the resources available at state.nj.us/nj/ about/history.
Correction The Township of Manchester would like to clarify information detailed in the “‘Shop Manchester’ Tax Reward Program Advances” article in the Manchester Times on February 13, 2016. In the article the Mayor refers the “vendors” requirement to pay a $25 annual licensing fee to the Township. To clarify, the “vendor” would be the company used by the Township to manage the Tax Credit program. This in contrast to the “merchants” who are businesses found within the
Township that are participating in the tax credit program. The “merchants” will be required to pay a $10 monthly fee for participation. The benefits to the merchants will be: higher sales, increased local exposure, captive highly motivated audience, free advertising, free resources and will be part of a township sponsored program. Any merchants looking to participate should contact the Township of Manchester Purchasing Department at 732-657-8121 ext. 3500.
Letters To The Editor Grave Concerns Over Area Pipeline
For the past year, hundreds of citizens from Bordentown to Upper Freehold have spent countless hours and sleepless nights organizing, attending town meetings and writing letters to the NJ BPU, FERC and the local and Federal legislative delegates that serve this portion of New Jersey. Why? Because of the very grave concerns that NJNG’s so-called “Southern Reliability Link” (SRL) has raised, its route to course over two-lane county roads within 100 feet of residents’front doors, churches, schools, town halls and emergency response garages, past historic areas dating to the Revolutionary period, past three cemeteries, in township roadways that traverse in front of NJ Preserved Farmlands where U-pick operations are located, and last but not least, invades a section of the NJ Pinelands that is overlain by the Joint Base – McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. Additionally, there are over 15 crossings of streams, most of which are tributaries of the Crosswicks Creek which drains into the Delaware River, and potential impacts to mature trees and threatened and endangered species of turtle and fowl. This gas transmission pipeline would have its terminus in Manchester in Ocean County. Its stated purpose as presented in the petition before the NJ BPU was to enhance resiliency, and reliability of the gas supply should there be another event such as superstorm Sandy,
or disruption in the current Texas Eastern supply system. Manchester, Lakehurst Borough and Plumsted have all been curiously silent during this whole time period and I have to wonder if anyone in Ocean County understands the concerns that we in western Monmouth and Burlington County have regarding this unnecessary infrastructure. As a former 20 year resident of Ocean County, I understand the public relations campaign that NJNG puts out for public consumption. But I am not so naïve as to think that NJNG just wants to enhance reliability of the gas supply. They really want to enhance the reliability of their income stream through system growth and by placing this infrastructure cost on its ratepayers – and make us Burlington and western Monmouth County residents suffer the consequences should anything go wrong either before, during or after its construction. Will you join us by raising your voices loudly against the NJ BPU’s recent approval of this project? This is not a “done deal.” There are permits required and there is also an interstate pipeline extension and new compressor station (also problematic), to be operated by Williams/Transco, which are needed to service the SRL in order for anything to become viable. It should also be noted that this is tied to PennEast’s project which is being challenged by 70 municipalities along its route all the way to Hopewell Township.

Bombs of Hate Imagine that as you sleepily go out to retrieve your morning newspaper you find a small bag on your lawn. Curious, you pick it up and find that it is a weighted bag with a leaflet. “Harmless trash,” you may think. Trash it is, but harmless it is not. It is a small “bomb of hate” meant to frighten you with its message against minorities. More of these hate notes are now appearing in Monmouth County and throughout the state. The perpetrators seek to frighten their targets and to recruit more members for their groups. We on the Monmouth County Human Relations Commission deplore this hate literature and the spreading of its vile message. Even though it may not be illegal, it can be dangerous in its purpose of inciting crimes against minority citizens and immigrants. Silence encourages the tormentors. If you are a recipient, report the incident to your local police department. A littering complaint is also a possibility. If you see someone dropping these bags or in a similar activity, try to get a license number or as much description as possible of the car and occupants. Our goal is to alleviate the current tensions and conflicts in our communities. Hate groups are attempting to inflame relations with racial minorities, religious minorities, immigrants and between the police and the community. The Monmouth County Human Relations Commission is available through our Speakers’ Bureau: 732-291-4257; website monmouthcountyhrc.org, and bias problem hot line: 732-3037666. We ask members of all community groups, both minority and majority, to speak out with us.
Do not be silent on these issues. We must defuse these “bombs of hate.” John P. Delaney, Carolyn Schwebel, Monmouth County Human Relations Commission
Meat Industry ‑ 9, Consumers ‑ 0 The “Dietary Guidelines for Americans” released recently by U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services mark the ninth time in a row that the meat industry has successfully suppressed scientific findings recommending reduced meat consumption. The reduction was recommended by the government-appointed Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee in a 571-page report based on review of thousands of studies. Reduced meat consumption was first recommended in 1977 by the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs in “Dietary Goals for the United States,” a precursor to the Dietary Guidelines. The meat industry forced the committee to destroy all copies of the report and to remove the offending recommendation from a new edition. That wanton government sell-out to the meat industry has replayed itself with every new edition of the Dietary Guidelines since then. “Dietary Guidelines for Americans” shape school lunches and other government food support programs and underlie public health campaigns to lower rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Fortunately, American consumers are not easily duped. Sales of plant-based meats, cheeses, milks and ice creams have skyrocketed, and every grocery store provides seemingly countless choices of fruits and vegetables. Henry Traconi Toms River

10th Legislative District - Serving Manchester Senator Jim Holzapfel
Holzapfel Aims To Prevent Children’s Access To Loaded Firearms
NEW JERSEY – Senator Jim Holzapfel’s (R-10) legislation to increase penalties for leaving a loaded firearm within easy access of a minor resulting in injury or death was approved by the New Jersey Senate in a 32-0 vote. Sen. Jim Holzapfel’s legislation increases penalties for leaving a loaded firearm within easy access of a minor
resulting in injury or death. This bill was prompted by the tragic death of 6-year-old Brandon Holt, who was shot and killed by a 4-year-old friend with a gun that was left unsecured and accessible to the children in the house. “As a former prosecutor, gun owner and supporter of the Second Amendment, I find it unconscionable that
some gun owners could be so irresponsible,” said Holzapfel. “This legislation balances the rights of responsible gun owners with the public interest of reducing preventable deaths from planned and accidental shootings by children.” The bill, S-218, increases penalties for knowingly allowing a minor to gain access to loaded, unlocked firearms
at a legal gun owner’s premises. It also covers those who reasonably should know a minor could access their loaded, unlocked weapon. Under current law, if a minor accesses a loaded firearm due to the owner’s failure to follow proper safety precautions, such as storing the gun in a locked box or container or securing the trigger lock, that
person is guilty of a disorderly person’s offense. The proposed legislation upgrades the offense to a crime of the fourth degree if a violation results in bodily injury and a crime of the third degree if a violation results in serious bodily injury or death. “We have seen far too many senseless tragedies occur when kids have had easy
Senator Jim Holzapfel access to loaded, unlocked guns,” Holzapfel added. “Hopefully, the potential for increased fines and jail time imposed by this legislation will encourage people to secure their firearms at all times.”
From The Desk Of Congressman Chris Smith:
Congressman Chris Smith NEW JERSEY – A law to protect children in the U.S. and around the world from convicted pedophiles who travel in or out of the United States unbeknownst to law enforcement officials was signed into law recently, capping an eight-year effort to enact international notification legislation named for the late Megan Kanka, a seven-year-old from Hamilton, N.J. “This important legislation authorizes the creation of a comprehensive reciprocal notification system to significantly expand protections for children worldwide,” said U.S. Rep. Chris Smith who authored the new law commonly referred to as International Megan’s Law. “Now foreign governments will know when convicted pedophiles who are currently required to be on government sex-offender registries, are traveling to other countries. Now they can assess the potential danger and take reasonable precautions to protect children including denial of a visa or limiting travel,” Smith said.
In 1994, Megan Kanka was sexually assaulted and killed by a convicted, repeat sex offender living across the street and unknown to the residents in the neighborhood. Public outcry in response to the terrible crime and tireless work by Megan’s parents, Richard and Maureen Kanka, led to the New Jersey State Legislature passing the original Megan’s Law (NJSA 2C: 7-1 through 7-II) in 1994. The law required public notification of convicted sex offenders living in the community. Today all 50 states and all the territories have a Megan’s Law, an important tool in preventing more children from becoming victims. “As a result of the hard work by Megan’s loving parents, Maureen and Richard Kanka, and others, first New Jersey and then all 50 states passed Megan’s Laws to require public notification of convicted sex offenders living in the community,” said Smith (NJ04). “Information is power and the interest of protecting children remains at the core of the federal and original state Megan’s Laws and the enactment of today’s International Megan’s Law.” Richard Kanka said the bipartisan agreement notifying foreign law enforcement of traveling child predators is paramount for the safety of
Megan’s Law Goes International
all children. “The reason this legislation is so important is that it will provide law enforcement with the information needed to help prevent convicted sex offenders from moving secretly throughout this country and any other nation worldwide,” said Kanka. “Law-abiding citizens of this country did not create this problem. It was created by individuals who continue to terrorize our children and want to remain anonymous. When a sex offender has been convicted of violating a child, law enforcement and parents have a right to know where they are hiding. Revealing the secret status of convicted child predators is what Megan’s Law is all about. Removing the secrecy will prevent more children from becoming victims in the US and abroad by simply making the facts known.” Officially named The International Megan’s Law to Prevent Child Exploitation and Other Sexual Crimes Through Advance Notification of Traveling Sex Offender, H.R. 515, passed the House several times before being approved by Senate in December. The House unanimously passed the final bill on February 1 and sent it to the White House on February 4 with the President signing it February 8.
Smith first introduced the International Megan’s Law bill alongside the Kankas in 2008 in Megan’s Place, the small community park that bears Megan’s name, and has worked for passage ever since. The final version that moved out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in October was crafted in close partnership with Senator Richard Shelby (AL), who championed the innovative passport provisions, Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Bob Corker (TN) and Ranking Member Ben Cardin (MD), and Senator Barbara Mikulski (MD). Smith also acknowledged the strong support of Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (CA), who helped advance the final bill in the House, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce and Ranking Member Eliot Engel. “Child sex-trafficking and tourism are a serious problem,” Smith said. “With the enactment of this law and the bipartisan hard work of so many lawmakers and advocacy groups, children in the U.S. and around the world will now have greater protections from roving child predators.” The newly signed International Megan’s Law: Streamlines and coordinates the work of the Angel Watch Center with the Sex Offender
Targeting Center of the US Marshals Service so that the best information is getting to the right people in the shortest amount of time. Makes it a crime, for the first time, for a sex offender to travel abroad without giving 21 days advance notice so that law enforcement has adequate time to vet the traveler and warn the destination country, if needed. Mandates that the State Department, in consultation with the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice, establish, within 90 days, a program for issuing a passport provision on a traveling sex offender with an offense against a child and current duty to register, thereby preventing circumvention of the notification system by travelers who misreport which countries they will visit. Requires federal agencies to properly collect notification response data to understand which countries are working with the U.S. on preventing re-offense by child predators. Provides the authority for both the Angel Watch Center and the US Marshals Service to receive information from other countries about pedophiles intending to travel to the U.S. Clarifies the receipt and sharing within U.S. law enforcement of incoming notifica-
tions on known sex offenders traveling to the U.S. And also directs the Secretary of State, in coordination with the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security, to seek agreements and use technical assistance with other countries so that the United States is notified in advance of incoming foreign sex offenders. The new International Megan’s Law will work in conjunction with America’s landmark anti-human trafficking law, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 authored by Smith and the two other trafficking laws he wrote in 2003 and 2005. According to a 2010 report by the Government Accountability Office entitled “Current Situation Results in Thousands of Passports Issued to Registered Sex Offenders,” at least 4,500 U.S. passports were issued to registered sex offenders in fiscal year 2008. Typically a U.S. passport is valid for 10 years. The GAO emphasized that its numbers were probably understated due to the limitations of the data that it was able to access and analyze. Estimates from the International Labor Organization indicate that 1.8 million children are victims of commercial sexual exploitation around the world every year.

MANCHESTER – The Manchester branch Library has seven technology workshops for adults scheduled for March. “Spotlight on Windows 10.” March 1 at 2 p.m. Library staff will answer your questions and help you become comfortable using the features of this new operating system. You will need to bring your own laptop or tablet for this hands-on training. “Introduction to the Internet.” March 10 at 9:30 a.m. You will be taught how to access the Internet, search for a specific company or organization and look up a particular topic. As a prerequisite to this class, participants must be comfortable using a computer mouse. “Working with Images: Spruce up your Documents with Graphics.” March 14 at 9:30 a.m. Learn how to find photos and clipart using search sites like Google Images. Then find out how to save images and insert or copy and paste to place them into documents created in MS Word. Participants must have some proficiency with the Internet and creating basic documents in Word. “Create Your First Email Account.” March 18 at 9:30 a.m. This class is open to adults with little or no computer experience who do not already have an email address. After learning how to control the mouse and access the Internet, students will be guided to set up their email accounts with a free web-based service. You will then be instructed on tasks
that include how to write and send an email, check your mailbox for incoming messages and delete unwanted mail. Class size is limited to eight people. Instruction will take place using the library’s public computers. “Spotlight on Windows 10.” March 22 at 10 a.m. See description for same workshop being held on March 1.

Former Chief Master Sergeant Visits Base
JOINT BASE – Former Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Sam E. Parish visited Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst on February 4. As part of a two-day tour, Parish met with Airmen from JB MDL during a luncheon at Halverson Hall dining facility and hosted a joint base enlisted call. He also spent time touring the U.S. Air Force Expeditionary Center and was the key note speaker for the USAF EC’s annual awards banquet. During his time at the USAF EC, Parish spoke to students and instructors about changes the Air Force is facing and how Airmen today are asked to do significantly more than what was expected of them in the past. “The experiences that these young people have from their deployments and with their everyday life, it’s unmatched in the history of the Air Force,” Parish said. “You have an unbelievable opportunity, and that is to pro-

duce the chiefs of tomorrow who will surpass even those of today.” At the luncheon with JB MDL’s 5/6 Council, which was attended by selected staff and technical sergeants as well, Parish spoke of the importance of first line supervisors and the role they can play in shaping Airmen. “Enlisted Airmen are the heart and lungs of our great Air Force,” Parish said. “And without you, I guarantee the mission would never get done.” Parish reiterated that sentiment to the Air Force’s enlisted corps at the Annual Awards Banquet February 5, again highlighting how vital young Airmen are to the mission. “The Air Force mission is to fly, fight and win,” he said. “But we no longer have enlisted pilots, especially in the cock pit. Nevertheless, how many war planes have ever been launched without an enlisted crew chief or a young two, three or four striper to pull the chalks? Each of you play a tremendous role in the day-to-day operation of our Air Force and you do it with pride and in a most professional manner.” Parish was born in Marianna, FL, and joined the U.S. Air Force in December 1954. He graduated with the first Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy class at Gunter Air Force Station, AL, in 1973 and went on to serve in numerous leadership positions including the U.S. Air Forces in Europe enlisted advisor. In August of 1983, Parish was appointed as the eighth CMSAF and served in that position until his retirement in June of 1986.

–Photo courtesy Manchester Township Public Schools Ridgeway School Principal Nikki Mazur and students accept Makerspace grant materials from Tony Bruzaitis, who made the donation in memory of his parents through the Manchester Twp. Educational Foundation. MANCHESTER – Ridgeway Elementary School now has a brand new Makerspace thanks to a $350 mini-grant from the Manchester Township Educational Foundation. Tony Bruzaitis presented the donation made in memory of his parents, Ella and Anthony Bruzaitis. Makerspaces are creative, DIY spaces where people can gather to create, invent and learn, often with a focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). Bruzaitis, who attended Ridgeway School as a child, had the opportunity to try out some of the Makerspace materials with a few very enthusiastic students from the school’s GT (Gifted and Talented) program. The equipment included Lego building bricks, Lego Contraptions and Chain Reactions kits, a Qubits building kit, a Wheels and Axles engineering kit, a Makey Makey electronics kit and a Design Studio game. Ridgeway School Principal, Nikki Mazur, said that she is excited about the donation and
what it will mean to her students. “We are so grateful to the MTEF and the Bruzaitis family for helping us to create our own Makerspace,” she said. The Makerspace will be located in a corner of the school’s computer lab and will to be available to all classes, and possibly even after-school programs. Mazur said she hopes to have the teachers try out the equipment first to learn how to help guide their students. Bruzaitis’s father, Anthony Bruzaitis, was instrumental in the building of the original Ridgeway School, which was called Manchester Elementary School at the time. He was on the Board of Education and was also Mayor of Manchester in the late 50’s and early 60’s. At the same time, Ella Bruzaitis was highly involved in the PTA and Ridgeway Civic Club. Manchester Township Educational Foundation is a non-profit organization that supports the students of Manchester Township Public Schools with classroom grants, scholarships and more.

Five Medical Factors That Could Lead To Hearing Loss
While hearing loss is most commonly caused by prolonged exposure to loud noises – also referred to as sensorineural hearing loss – a number of medical conditions can lead to hearing impairment as well. Fortunately, some of these medical conditions are reversible, allowing hearing to become fully restored. Current research is finding strong associations between hearing loss and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, smoking, obesity and dementia. But many lesser-known conditions can impact your hearing health in potentially serious ways. Here are a few of them: 1. Blood Conditions: Poor blood flow is typically the result of circulatory system troubles and can restrict the flow of oxygen to the inner ear. Conditions affecting blood flow include sickle-cell anemia, diabetes and heart conditions. Things like high blood pressure, hypercoagulability and polycythemia can also cause blood related hearing loss. 2. Infections: Meningitis, a bacterial or fungal infection of the brain and spinal cord, can cause sudden hearing loss. Hearing loss is also a side effect of treatment of tuberculosis – though it is possible that the medication used in treatment is what causes the impairment. Both hearing loss and tinnitus are common side effects of Lyme disease (carried by ticks), as well as some STDs, like syphilis. 3. Disease: Ménière’s disease, a disorder of the fluids in the inner ear, is one of the most common causes of hearing loss. Its root is unknown, and the disease typically affects only one ear in individuals between
ages 20 and 50. Other issues known to affect hearing include hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid), kidney disease medications, Paget’s disease and autoimmune inner ear disease, which results in sudden onset hearing loss and must be treated as a medical emergency. 4. Hereditary Conditions: Hearing loss may run in your family. Some serious genetic disorders, such as Waardenburg syndrome, cause the head and internal organs to develop differently, which may result in hearing loss that is difficult to correct through treatment or surgery. Other conditions, like otosclerosis, affect the bones in the middle ear that conduct sound to the cochlea; some of these conditions are correctable with surgery. 5. Tumors and Cancer: Cancers of the head, neck or ear areas can affect the inner ear, but cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, are also notorious for causing hearing loss. Some recent research out of the U.K. suggests that aspirin can help prevent permanent hearing loss as a side effect of the cancer drug cisplatin, but further research is necessary. Acoustic neuromas and tumors that grow on the auditory nerve can cause hearing loss or tinnitus, and they may put pressure on the brain, leading to other conditions. Both are usually benign and can be removed surgically. Free Hearing Screening – Do you have a friend or family member who has complained of an inability to hear things as clearly as they once did?

Here’s To Your Health Dear Pharmacist

Brace Yourself: Your Thyroid Lab Test Is Probably All Wrong By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
The current medical system isn’t on your side. Some physicians don’t stay current with the literature, or if they do, they are reading drug-funded studies. Some docs actually still believe what they were taught 30 years ago in medical school. How does that help you? When a physician uses knowledge from an outdated toolbox, you pay the price. Case in point, I received this email from someone, name withheld: “Suzy, I’ve had all the tests for thyroid but they all come back fine, yet for years I’ve been losing hair on top of my head, and I have no leg or pubic hair, the driest skin and dry eyes. So on and so on and now my bladder is overactive. Do you think I have a thyroid problem?” So does this person have thyroid disease? Probably, although, we’d need lab tests to confirm. If you go to 100 doctors and ask them to test your thyroid, about 98 of them will use the standard “TSH” test and if it’s normal, they will tell you that you do not have thyroid disease, like my anonymous reader above. They will treat you for everything but thyroid! The TSH test is old and outdated and if you base your life on the results of this test, you’ll never get well. You’ll be prescribed 10 different drugs to smack down all the symptoms of thyroid disease, rather than ever treating the thyroid disease itself. Imagine the arcade game Whac-A-Mole! If your physician uses only the TSH
test and it is normal, you may be told you have fibromyalgia and be given analgesics for the muscle pain and you’ll be diagnosed with either depression or anxiety and be prescribed either Zoloft or Xanax (or both). You’ll also be sent to the pharmacy for Rogaine for the hair loss and Detrol LA for the overactive bladder. Good luck getting well. All this expense and misery, because your TSH came back normal. A TSH can be normal and it’s still very possible that you have some degree of hypothyroidism, or you are genuinely “thyroid sick” as I refer to it in my book, “Thyroid Healthy” available at my website and Amazon. Maybe instead of 10 drugs you need one drug as in thyroid medicine or maybe natural thyroid dietary supplementation, or a combination. A good doctor will know. Forget about the TSH test, it’s just okay. It’s part of a bigger scenario. The most important tests are the following: Total T3, Total T4, Free T3, Free T4, TPO and TG Antibodies, Reverse T3 and Ferritin. I’m out of space here, but I have suggested “normals” that are much different from those on your lab tests. If you go to my website suzycohen.com and sign up for my newsletter, I’ll give you a free ebook, plus I will email you a longer version of this article that includes the tests and the normal reference ranges so you can compare your lab numbers to my recommended values.

Book And Film Discussion: “Little Women”
MANCHESTER – On March 3, the Manchester branch Library’s monthly program, “From Page to Screen: A Book and Film Discussion” will take place, starting at 1 p.m. The group meets the first Thursday each month to discuss an assigned book and view a film adaptation of that title. The subject of March’s meeting is the
March sisters – Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy who grow up with their mother in somewhat reduced circumstances while their father is away fighting in the Civil War. They are a close family who inevitably have their squabbles and tragedies. But the bond holds even when, later, man friends start to become a part of the household.
The classic novel “Little Women” was written by Louisa May Alcott in 1868. The 1994 movie version that will be screened at the library on March 3 stars Susan Sarandon, Winona Ryder and Kirsten Dunst. It has a runtime of 115 minutes and is rated PG. The director is Gillian Armstrong. There is no registration for this free,

Tax Appeal Procedures
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
The deadline for filing tax appeals in most towns expires on April 1. Many people who file tax appeals do so without knowing the process that follows the filing of the appeal. This article provides a brief overview of the tax appeal process to give taxpayers an idea of what to expect. Because most tax appeals are filed with the County Tax Board, this article is limited to the local Tax Board process. The Tax Appeal Hearing: Once an appeal is filed, the County Tax Board will schedule a hearing. Tax appeal hearings are generally held within three to four months after the filing date. If the appeal has been filed by commercial entity, such as a corporation or limited liability company, the taxpayer must be represented by an attorney at the hearing. Even if the appeal was filed by individual, we strongly recommend that all taxpayers retain a New Jersey attorney experienced in tax appeals to pursue the hearing because there are certain procedural requirements that must be satisfied. In all hearings, the town will be represented by the municipal attorney. We also recommend that all taxpayers obtain an appraisal report prepared by a certified real estate appraiser so as to justify the basis for the appeal. Remember that the town’s assessment is presumed to be accurate and the burden is on the taxpayer to prove otherwise. The only real way to meet this burden is to have an appraisal by a certified appraiser. If you intend to
rely on expert testimony from a real estate appraiser, you must supply a copy of the appraisal report to each County Tax Board member and the municipal assessor at least seven days before the scheduled hearing date. The Board will not consider your evidence and rule in the town’s favor if you fail to do so. The appraiser who prepares the report must also be available at the hearing to testify and be cross-examined. The Tax Board’s Decision. New Jersey law states that the Tax Board must hear and render a judgment on all appeals within three months of the last day for filing appeals, unless an extension is granted by the Director of the Division of Taxation. Judgments are issued shortly thereafter. If you are dissatisfied with the judgment of the Tax Board, you may appeal to the State Tax Court. You have 45 days from the date your judgment was mailed to file an appeal with the Tax Court. However, an appeal to the Tax Court is time consuming and likely expensive. Further, if you did not produce the appropriate proofs at the County level, you may be prevented from producing them at the Tax Court. The tax appeal process can be complicated and the failure of the taxpayer to understand and follow the process can lead to an adverse Tax Board judgment. Therefore, it is important to consult with an experienced New Jersey tax attorney. The law office of R.C. Shea and Associates has been representing taxpayers in Ocean County for over 30 years.
The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

BlueClaws, Townsquare Media Extend Broadcast Agreement
LAKEWOOD – BlueClaws games will return to the Shore Sports Network again in 2016, according to the club and Townsquare Media. The agreement extends a partnership that began in 2003, the team’s second season. This year marks the 14th straight year the BlueClaws will be heard on Townsquare Media stations. All 140 games will once again be heard on News Talk Radio WOBM AM 1160 and 1310 as well as streamed on ShoreSportsNetwork. com and the WOBM-AM mobile application. “We’re very pleased to extend our partnership with Townsquare Media and the Shore Sports Network,” said BlueClaws General Manager Chris Tafrow. “Townsquare Media has long been a tremendous partner of the BlueClaws and we are excited to carry that relationship another year.” “We put such an emphasis on our local, Jersey Shore community, and the BlueClaws are obviously an extension of that,” said Kevin Williams, Townsquare Media’s Shore
Sports Network director. “They’re a big part of our programming and we’re thrilled to extend our partnership.” Greg Giombarrese returns as the “Voice of the BlueClaws” and will once again broadcast all 140 BlueClaws games. Tony Graham will again join the broadcast team during home games. Each broadcast begins with the BlueClaws Beat Pre-Game Show, 15 minutes prior to first pitch, and concludes with a 15-minute Post-Game Show. The 2016 season opens at Lexington on April 7 and opens the home schedule with a game on April 14 against Greensboro. The BlueClaws are the Jersey Shore’s top stop for affordable, family entertainment. They have led the South Atlantic League in attendance in all 15 years of existence. 2016 BlueClaws ticket packages and group outings are currently on sale by calling 732-901-7000 option 3 or online at BlueClaws.com.

Dear Joel
GOLD BUYERS, LLC
Obviously Not A Golfer Dear Joel, I moved from Queens, New York into an over-55 development in Monroe Township. Although my husband always enjoyed golf, it has now become an obsession of his. I sometimes feel as if I would have been better off staying in New York. I am bored and lonely while he is out enjoying himself. I sometimes feel as if I would have been better off staying in New York. Answer: In as much as it would be nice for your husband to be spending more time with you, he doesn’t have any obligation to do so. Many people would be very happy that their spouses have found pleasure in their retirement years. My suggestion to you is to find some-

thing that you enjoy. Many women in the over-55 developments play golf. I am certain that there is a school in the vicinity and you too can be swinging a club and enjoying the links. You gain nothing by blaming him for your boredom. Try something new and if that isn’t enjoyable try something different. You too deserve happiness in life. Our blaming others for our unhappiness gets us nowhere. Questions for Joel? Write to preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com.

tried to do is be leaders in our field,” Scalo says. For the past three decades, that has been the hallmark of the Bartley experience for residents and the staff that serve their healthcare needs. Bar tley Healthc are opened as a 120 -bed skilled nursing home in 1985, one year after breaking ground. Scalo says the facility’s first residents were in their seventies, but stayed into their eighties and late nineties. Bar tley Healthc are began expanding its’ range of services and facilities by opening a memory care unit and a post-acute rehabilitation unit where patients typically stay less than 30 days, then return to their homes. Today, Bartley Healthcare is a 234-bed facility offering a full range of skilled nursing services for orthopedic conditions and post-surgical joint replacements; cardiac and post-cardiac surgery recovery programs; enteral feeding; IV therapy, multiple trauma; pain management; respiratory; stroke; tracheostomy; and wound care. The campus facilities
Healthcare Provides Home Sweet Home For Adult Residents By Joyce Blay There’s no place like home, and for seniors at all stages of their adult lives, there’s no place like Bartley Healthcare Nursing, Rehabilitation and The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living. Conveniently located off County Line Road in Jackson, you’ll receive a friendly greeting and a welcoming smile from staff members or Bartley residents. One of them may be Emilia Harrison, who turned 93 years old on December 4, 2015, and has been a Bartley resident for over five years. “I don’t know where the time went,” she tells a visitor. Emilia enjoys soaking up the sunshine outdoors on a regular basis, but says that residents have a wide variety of activities from which to choose. “You do what you want to do,” she says. For thirty years, Bartley
Healthcare has provided that flexibility to seniors requiring a wide range of facility services, thanks to Chief Executive Officer Philip Scalo and his physician partners. “My partners had a very big practice in Jackson,” Scalo says. “We thought we could open a facility and do a very good job meeting residents’ needs.” With his financial and legal expertise, Scalo and his physician partners make a good team. Others think so, too. The Orchards at Bartley has rec eived nu merous awards for excellence from the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services in partnership with the Healthcare Asso ciation of New Jersey (HCANJ); the American Healthcare Association/ National Center for Assisted Living; and the Assisted Living Federation of America. “What we’ve always

The Manchester Times, February 27, 2016, Page 31 For the week of Febuary 27- March 4
Omarr’s Astrological Forecast By Jeraldine Saunders ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Get that heart rate up. Find ways to release pent up energy and clear your mind for the upcoming week ahead. Make sure to leave your schedule flexible as romantic interludes could suddenly pop up without warning. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Have it your way. You are able to use your charms and wiles to get nearly anyone to fall into line. Put your social acumen to good use by reconciling differences, asking for favors or making new acquaintances this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Find your support group. You’ll find that those who care about you the most will provide the enthusiasm you need to get your ideas off of the ground. A significant other may make the rest of the world seem to stand still later in the week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Stick to your convictions this week. Don’t back down when it comes to letting others know where you stand on specific issues. Avoid getting too deep into conversations involving subjects of which you have little or no knowledge. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Family comes first. Schedule time to pay attention to loved ones as work may take up too much of your time this week. If someone approaches you for advice, be helpful and enthusiastic as criticism could be poisonous. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t compromise your values. In the heat of the moment, you may feel compelled to say or do something that goes against everything that you’ve been taught. Steer clear of confrontations in the week to come. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Bury the
hatchet. There’s no point in allowing ill feelings to fester. You can improve everyone’s mood by taking steps towards reconciliation. Matters of romance and relationships may take precedent as the week progresses. SCORPIO (Oct. 23- Nov. 21): Nothing stands in the way of progress. No matter if you take baby steps or giant leaps forward you get closer to achieving your goal. Don’t shrug off a commitment or promise this week just because you don’t think it’s important. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22- Dec. 21): Play it cool. Don’t allow someone to get under your skin this week as this may be precisely the reaction they were looking for. Find constructive outlets to blow off steam such as sports or tackling chores around the house. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 19): May the force be with you. Just have a little faith that the universe is working with you and not against you, and everything will turn out for the best this week. Someone may be willing to help more than you anticipated. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb. 18): A well-tended garden blooms best. Don’t expect projects to become rousing successes unless you have provided the proper care and attention to making them work. Romantic prospects are likely to improve in the week ahead. PISCES (Feb. 19- Mar. 20): The means don’t always justify the ends. Giving simply to help out those in need is a wonderful thing, while giving to receive kudos is not quite as admirable. Ethical questions may seem irrelevant but could impact the future.

Cuban Sandwich Proves That A Panini By Any Other Name Tastes Just As Delicious By Wolfgang Puck
CUBAN SANDWICH Serves 1 1 length French or sourdough baguette, cut to fit your panini grill 3 to 4 tablespoons mayonnaise 3 to 4 tablespoons yellow mustard 2 to 3 thin slices Swiss cheese 4 to 6 thin slices smoked or cured ham 4 to 6 slices salami 6 thin lengthwise slices dill pickle 3 or 4 slices roast pork, or other meat of your choice 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened Preheat an electric panini press or a hinged electric countertop double-sided grill. With a serrated bread knife, cut the length of baguette horizontally in half. Evenly spread both cut surfaces of the bread with mayonnaise, then mustard. Arrange the bread halves coated side up on a work surface.
Layer the bottom half of the bread with the Swiss cheese. Then, in even layers, arrange the roast pork, salami, ham and pickle slices. Press the top piece of the baguette onto the f illing, compacting the sandwich evenly. Br ush the top of the bread with butter. Place the sandwich in the preheated panini grill. Weigh down the top of the panini grill with a brick wrapped in foil or with two large cans of tomatoes or other canned goods, placing them for even weight distribution and to avoid them possibly slipping off. Cook the sandwich until the filling is heated through, the cheese is melted and the bread is well browned and very crusty, about 5 minutes. If you want to cut the sandwich in half, use a serrated knife and a sawing motion to avoid squeezing out the filling. Serve immediately.
