TWO JACKSON PARISHES MAY MERGE
–Photos by Shawn Smith The Diocese of Trenton is discussing whether to merge the smaller St. Monica’s parish (left) with St. Aloysius. By Shawn Smith JACKSON – A plan to merge two parishes in Jackson has patrons of the smaller of the two churches expressing concerns, saying it will negatively impact them financially and create a void in the community. St. Monica’s held a town hall meeting in front of about 150 people on August
Inside This Week’s Edition
9 to address the Faith in Our Future initiative. The program calls for the possible merger of St. Monica’s parish with St. Aloysius parish, possibly creating a 7,000 family congregation. Along with the church clergy, Msgr. Leonard F. Troiano of the Diocese in Trenton was present to discuss the details
of the initiative. The meeting, led by Troiano, the chair of planning for the Diocese, explained the plan to the town hall, saying that it was still in its preliminary stages and the extent of the details were still being worked out. Despite pushback from the church, the Diocese current recommendation of Cohort 23 (St. Monica’s, St. Aloysius – both in Jackson) is to merge the two parishes no later than July 2018. As a secondary site, St. Monica’s would be evaluated every two years depending on finances and usage. The Diocese of Trenton declined to comment on matters still in the preliminary stages. At the meeting, Deacons Mike Principato and Christian Knoebel addressed the crowd with the concerns they have that they felt they shared with the church. These included a loss of identity for St. Monica’s, taking on the financial burden of the current upgrade at St. Aloysius and the increased distance that may determine if a person goes to mass. “Jackson is a big place,” Knoebel said. “It’s 100 square miles. It’s one of the largest townships in New Jersey and I’m very, very concerned that it will be difficult for some people to go across town to go to mass.” Along with the distance, Knoebel also spoke of St. Monica’s taking on the current financial burden of St. Aloysius. Despite having (Merge - See Page 4)
State Won’t Investigate Jackson Blockbusting Report
By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – The State has said it won’t i nvestigate alleged blockbusti ng i n Jackson due to technical issues, Council President Robert Nixon updated a packed house at the August 9 Jackson Township Council meeting. “For the time being, the State has deferred an investigation on technical grounds based on their interpretation of the State discrimination law. Our lawyers have been in touch with the federal authorities and their discussions will be continuing,” Nixon said. The State’s Office of the Attorney General outlines the intent of the antidiscrimination law: “makes it unlawful to subject people to differential treatment based on race, creed, color, national origin, nationality, ancestry, age, sex (including pregnancy), familial status, marital status, domestic partnership or civil union status, affectional or sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, atypical hereditary cellular or blood trait, genetic information, liability for military service, and mental or physical disability, (Blockbusting - See Page 5)

By Jennifer Peacock The Jackson Township government recently honored its local police force and departments throughout the nation by passing a resolution recognizing efforts of all police. “There has been a very ugly attack on our law enforcement community over the last several months. That attack has led to everything from threats of assassination to outright assassination. This Council, this Mayor, this administration, I think everybody here in this room, believes that
With the
our law enforcement officers are the first line of defense to make sure that all of us can come into a room like this, speak our minds, worship who we want, vote for who we want, speak what we want,” Council President Robert Nixon said. “When we start to devalue the men and women in uniform, who ensure those freedoms, we weaken ourselves as a society.” Nixon, on behalf of Mayor Michael Reina and Council, read into the record (Police - See Page 4)

no say on the decision of the upgrades, St. Monica’s would have to split the costs. “Personally, I think the new architecture of the new building up there is beautiful,” Knoebel said. “But it was an expensive endeavor and there is quite a bit of money still owed on that building. If we merge, some of us, to some degree, will be taking on the financial responsibility of that burden.” Knoebel explained the current finances of St. Monica’s, saying the church is “in the black and financially in sound condition,” and the merger could set the church back. “I understand that the size of our group would be sort of a drop in the bucket over there at St. Al’s [sic] and might get lost in a lot of different ways: socially, possibly spiritually, definitely financially.” A representative of St. Aloysius referred comment to Very Reverend John Bambrick, who is away on vacation. One of the biggest concerns that made the church consider merging the two parishes is the lack of priests, not just in Ocean County, but all over the world, according to Principato. There are more priests retiring than there are being hired into the church. The mass populations are also being affected by changes in population, as well as affluent growth. Principato said the church can look at the history of St. Monica’s, but should also look at how the church stands now. Under the guidance of Father Alex Enriquez, the church has become more active now than it was a year ago, unlike most other churches that are
seeing a decline. “We need to allow the powers that be to know that St. Monica in Jackson goes against the grain,” Principato said. “We are the exception. We are growing. We are more active now than we were last year. We give more now than we did last year.” He said the church can affect the decision and the upcoming changes by becoming more active within the church and by giving more to the church. “We need to do our very best to show whoever it is that needs to be shown that St. Monica can make it on its own,” Principato said. “We can affect this process.” Troiano allowed time for comments and concerns, as well as answering any questions that may have come up. He felt pushback from the church when someone asked him for the address of Bishop David O’Connell, so they could send him their concerns. “It tends to be frowned upon to send letters directly to the Bishop,” one member of the clergy said. “If we do this letter thing, bring them to the core group, and they will pass them to the planning commission.” One resident said that was not good enough, and she wanted her letter to go directly to the Bishop. “I want the Bishop to know how I feel. I have a voice,” the resident said. While stressing the plan to merge the two churches was still in its preliminary stage, Troiano said the implementation of the merger could begin as soon as July 2017. Any decisions of the planning commission would then go to the Bishop, who will make his final decision on the matter in January of next year.

a resolution supporting the “Blue Initiative,” asking residents and businesses to display a blue light during August or fly an American flag that’s black with a blue ribbon across it to show support to fallen and serving police officers. “Jackson Township is looking to stand united with all law enforcement agencies throughout the nation during this time of mourning, and wish to remember those who have given their lives in service to the profession,” he read. The resolution also included references to other first responders, public safety officers, and military personnel who have died in the line of duty. According to the Officer Down Memorial Page, 73 officers lost their lives this year thus far. Thirty-four of those were killed by gunfire. July saw 19 deaths; Texas has lost the most officers this year, losing 14. Last year, 131 officers died, 39 from gunfire. New Jersey lost Trooper Sean E. Cullen March 8. He was struck and killed by a vehicle while assisting another motorist on Route 295 South in Deptford Township. “God bless our police,” Councilman Scott Martin said during Council comments. “They
do a thankless job and very dangerous job. They never know when they go to work each day if they’re going to return home. They do it for us. They do it for a higher calling to protect us. We thank God every day that they’re there.” Jackson PBA President Joseph Candido spoke during public comment to thank the township and residents for supporting the police during this time. “I’d like to thank the Mayor and Council for the resolution. I’d also like to thank the public since the Dallas shootings and Baton Rouge, there’s been such an outpouring of support, food that was brought to the station on a continuous basis, I can’t thank the public enough for that,” Candido said. Council Vice President Kenneth Bressi said veterans secured freedoms that police and other first responders enforce. He pointed residents to a group called Vets4Cops that supports local law enforcement. They can be found on Facebook. Five officers were killed in Dallas July 7 by an active shooter at a Black Lives Matter protest in downtown. Three officers in Baton Rouge, La. were ambushed and killed by gunfire 10 days later. Officers in Kansas City, Kan., San Diego, Tennessee and Arkansas were gunned down since then.

perceived disability, and AIDS and HIV status. The LAD prohibits unlawful discrimination in employment, housing, places of public accommodation, credit and business contracts. Not all of the foregoing prohibited bases for discrimination are protected in all of these areas of activity. For example, familial status is only protected with respect to housing…” “They made the determination that the subject area is not one within the current view their jurisdiction,” municipal attorney Jean Cipriani said. The township filed complaints with the U.S. Department of Justice and the state Division of Civil Rights after viewing online videos from a November 2015 Agudah Convention at Crowne Plaza in Stamford, Conn. Three rabbi speakers presented talks titled “Growing Pains: Responding to challenges of the explosive expansion of our communities.” Two presenters spoke mostly in English mixed with Yiddish but a third was asked to give his talk about the “Jersey City Initiative” in Yiddish. “Our presentation to them is not based on whether we properly translated a few words from a speech,” Nixon said. “There are a lot more facts to share and if you have specific details of harassment or discrimination I urge you to please put it in writing to us ASAP.” In the November talks, one rabbi, Shmuel Lefkowitz, said Chareidi families should be a “little bit of shtickle pioneer in order to go into areas that…to keep expanding the envelope within Brooklyn, within Lakewood, and the
The Jackson Times, August 20, 2016, Page 5 other areas.” He told the Jewish newspaper Hamodia that his comments were misrepresented, saying a shtickle pioneer is one who is a “small pioneer and is adverse to risk.” Young families priced out of Lakewood have been urged to settle in surrounding townships: Toms River, Brick, Jackson, and Howell. Both Lefkowitz and Rabbi Avi Schnall, Agudah’s New Jersey director, told Hamodia that there is no blockbusting happening. “The Department of Justice has not rejected our complaint in the way the State has. That Department of course has different laws and has traditionally been one of the departments that investigates allegations of blockbusting,” Cipriani said. According to FairHousingRights.org, blockbusting, also known as “panic selling,” is “a discriminatory practice characterized by using tactics to induce a person to sell their home by persuading them that the entry of persons of a particular race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin or disability into their neighborhoods will negatively affect the community and decrease the value of their homes.” Blockbusting is illegal under Title 24, Housing and Urban Development. “It shall be unlawful, for profit, to induce or attempt to induce a person to sell or rent a dwelling by representations regarding the entry or prospective entry into the neighborhood of a person or persons of a particular race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or national origin or with a handicap.” The law clarifies that a profit doesn’t have to be made, only intended. The code also prohibits: “Encouraging, for profit, any person to sell or rent a dwelling
through assertions that the entry or prospective entry of persons of a particular race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or national origin, or with handicaps, can or will result in undesirable consequences for the project, neighborhood or community, such as a lowering of property values, an increase in criminal or antisocial behavior, or a decline in the quality of schools or other services or facilities.”
The practice also violates the Fair Housing Act. The Department of Justice often does file lawsuits based on referrals it receives from HUD. Nixon told residents that because the federal investigation is ongoing, he and Jackson Township Council can offer only general comments about alleged blockbusting and investigation.

Featured Letter Respect Those In Uniform, And Each Other Have you had enough murders in this country? I take that to be a Yes! We’re all sick and tired of bad behavior wherever it may be found, people hating each other and now killing each other for no good reason at all except they want to. What is that anyway? Two men who were black were murdered by policemen in two different states. The reason is yet to be explained or understood by the public. Then, we had the massacre in Dallas committed by a black man who apparently hated white people especially those in a uniform. When I was being raised by my parents, I was taught
to respect my neighbors and especially those in uniform. Whatever happened to that kind of respect – one for another? Are we all doomed because we’ve done this to ourselves, and more importantly can we recover from our own doing? With an upcoming election, do we really believe that either candidate can solve this internal problem when, in fact, they themselves, may be a part of the problem. May God help us. And God please, though we don’t deserve it, please bless America. Bette Kooreman Whiting

Letters To The Editor Don’t Vote For Trump I have refrained from posting my contempt for Donald Trump, because who cares what I think anyway. However, for my own satisfaction I am going to express my disgust with his disrespect of Gold Star Parents Mr. and Mrs. Khan whose son, Captain Kahn, died in Iraq protecting our country in 2004. This is personal for me because as Mayor of Toms River in 2004 through 2007, on many occasions, I was called to our National Guard Armory and other events to send off our troops to war, many of whom I knew personally, e.g. my son’s football coach. I’ve seen firsthand the families saying goodbye to their Mom or Dad, not know if they were coming back. As mayor, the best I could do was be there for them on behalf of our community and show support, prayers and encouragement. I am offended by Trump’s latest callous disregard for our military, but to disparage the parents of a fallen soldier is over the line. While I was mayor, on two occasions I accompanied our Chief of Police to the home of a fallen Toms River Marine. I felt helpless, but they were so grateful that we cared. It was the least we could do. Our town has planted trees and dedicated memorials to these fallen soldiers, but it doesn’t bring them back. I can’t imagine the pain these families suffer every single day of their lives. Trump insinuated that Mrs. Khan didn’t speak because she probably wasn’t allowed to. What was he thinking when he made such a state-
ment? The problem is he can’t take a punch; he must fight back regardless of what was said. This is his worst character flaw – of many – and I can tell you from experience that if you are going into public office, you have to be able to take a punch and move on. His disrespect of Mr. and Mrs. Kahn is unforgivable and this one time that I will ask you to please do not cast a vote for him in November. Paul C. Brush Toms River
As for me, as to the existence of a “soul” I think a 19th century humanist put it best: “I neither assert nor deny. I simply admit I don’t know. On that subject I am without evidence. There may be spirits, but I have never met one, nor do I know anybody who has.” Borden Applegate Jackson
While attending a funeral recently, the reverend talked about the immortality of the soul, which got me thinking. What do we really know – not just think or believe or imagine, but actually know about a soul? I haven’t the slightest idea how a soul looks, what shape it is, whether it walks or flies. Where does it reside in the body? How tall is it? Does it eat or sleep, wear socks – does it have a pulse? Is the soul implanted or activated at conception or does it enter the body at birth? If the dead person used a cane, wore glasses or dentures, will his soul? The clergy tell us the soul cannot be seen, heard, touched, smelled or tasted. Nor does it have magnetic, electrical, gravitation, or any other measurable properties. I think it would trouble anybody to find a better definition of nothing! That describes a vacuum – that is to say, it describes the absence of everything. The fact that I cannot conceive of a thing does not necessarily prove that a thing does not exist; however, I cannot prove unicorns don’t exist either.
Consider the things that make New Jersey a magnet for businesses and employers: A highly educated workforce, easy access to the financial and technology centers in New York, an outstanding education system and desirable lifestyle - and outstanding transportation infrastructure. We have the largest statewide transit system in the country, able to connect people to jobs both in New Jersey and beyond. Our road network has made the business of moving freight a major contributor to our economic growth, and allows goods shipped to our ports to reach almost half the U.S. population within a day. Yes, economic development incentives and tax breaks are appealing to employers, and those incentives have become a part of any state’s economic-development strategy. But incentives most often make the difference when the playing field is otherwise level, and when all the necessary durable assets, including transportation infrastructure, are in place. And right now in New Jersey, investments in our transportation infrastructure are at real risk. All the incentives and tax breaks in the world cannot overcome the inability of a business to rely on a durable asset that is key to its success. Transportation infrastructure lasts a long time, and is an important economic signal. When the state makes a commitment to invest in its transportation network, it is in effect promising businesses and residents that the system will be there into the future to serve them. This commitment spurs additional investment raise a bridge so the nearby port can welcome larger

ships, and new warehouses spring up. Build a light-rail line and businesses build or expand locations near it. (In fact, these additional investments sometimes get made before the transportation projects themselves are finalized.) Make transit access and travel easier, and nearby property values go up. But right now New Jersey appears unwilling to keep its promise of sustained investment in its transportation network. Our failure to break the current impasse over funding the Transportation Trust Fund - a financial repository established expressly to ensure that our transportation infrastructure can be kept up to date - is beginning to send a clear signal to the business community that it will no longer be able to rely on a key piece of New Jersey’s economic infrastructure. Businesses that may be evaluating their relocation or expansion options right now must be looking askance at New Jersey. When employers make long-term expansion or relocation decisions, they give significant weight to the extent and condition of the nearby transportation network. Our inability to promise that they’ll be able to rely on our roads and rails is putting New Jersey’s continued economic growth at real risk. The suspension of many important road and transit projects will have immediate economic effects. But at a more strategic level, the impasse over funding the Transportation Trust Fund presents a very real threat to New Jersey’s long-term economic-growth. Every business that decides to look elsewhere because it can’t rely on New Jersey’s transportation network represents lost opportunity. And perhaps even more important, every day this impasse continues serves to erode the trust the business community has in the state as a desirable place to locate or do business. If Governor Christie is as business-friendly as he says he is, he will take immediate steps to end this stalemate. The negative effects of not doing so will hurt us for years into the future.

Christie Announces Improved Statewide PARCC Results
NEW JERSEY – Governor Chris Christie recently announced positive gains in the preliminary statewide Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) assessment results in mathematics and English language arts for the 2015 to 16 school year. Overall, a higher percentage of students met or exceeded expectations – indicating they are on pace to be college and career ready – in nearly all subjects and grade levels. These scores also represent an emerging trend across all socioeconomic groups of a shrinking percentage of students failing to meet expectations or partially meeting expectations. “We are encouraged by the positive gains made by our students on the PARCC assessment,” said Governor Christie. “New Jersey’s ed-

ucational system is one of the best in the nation, and we are committed to keep pushing for improvements that will continue student success. We pursued the higher-quality assessment because we knew our students were well-positioned to meet the challenge, and these results further validate that approach.” This is the second year that the PARCC assessment has been administered in New Jersey, and it is the earliest that results from a New Jersey statewide assessment have been released after the close of the testing window. PARCC asks students to demonstrate their understanding of the State’s academic standards and apply their knowledge and skills by utilizing critical thinking, analytical writing and problem solving. PARCC is designed to provide teachers
and school administrators with usable information that can help improve classroom instruction. In addition to improved student results, more students participated in each of the PARCC tests than the year before, signaling that parents and educators understand the value of the assessments in providing information that can improve their schools and inform parents. “Thanks to the tremendous job done by school administrators and teachers, these results are exactly what we would expect,” said Education Commissioner David C. Hespe. “The Department will continue to collaborate with districts to support their efforts in using PARCC as one tool in preparing students for a successful future.” Based on feedback from educators, a number of im-
provements were made in the second-year PARCC administration. Overall, the PARCC tests were 90 minutes shorter, there were fewer testing sessions and two testing windows were reduced to just one testing window. These modifications benefited students and teachers by reducing the amount of time spent on the statewide assessment. Similar to last year, PARCC data is expected to be released in different phases, but this year it will be released months earlier. Districts already received their own preliminary data in June, and are expected to receive final data and individual score reports in mid-August. Parents should be receiving their individual student score reports from their districts around the start of the school year. It is also anticipated that PARCC
tools for educators will start being available by September – almost six months earlier than last year. “Receiving the PARCC data and resources this early will allow school leaders to create an educational system that utilizes the PARCC data to improve their schools, such as aligning their curricula and using professional development opportunities for teachers,” said Education Commissioner David C. Hespe. The department will be working with organizations, such as the New Jersey Principals and Supervisors Association, on professional development programs that will inform educators on how to use the PARCC results and tools to improve classroom instruction. This is in addition to the department’s numerous training and outreach programs aimed at educating

sey are up 160 percent since 2010, with more than 1,200 overdose-related deaths last year alone. In 2015, more than 28,000 New Jerseyans sought treatment for heroin or opioid abuse, significantly outpacing previous year’s figures. The heroin death rate
in five counties – Camden, Ocean, Cape May, Union and Middlesex – significantly exceeds the number of treatment beds available per 100,000 people. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 78 Americans
die every day from an opioid overdose, and heroin-related deaths more than tripled from 2010 to 2014 with approximately three out of four new heroin users report first abusing prescription opioids. Veterans are twice as likely to die from an accidental opi-
Chris Christie teachers and administrators on how PARCC data can benefit student learning in ways that New Jersey’s previous assessments never could. Over the last year, numerous educators and researchers, including the National Network of State Teachers of the Year, have reviewed PARCC and have validated it as an assessment that is more grade-level appropriate than prior state tests. They have also concluded that PARCC is clearly an effective assessment in determining whether students have an understanding of the standards and are on the pathway to being college and career ready.

Local Student Receives First Financial Foundation Scholarship
NEW EGYPT – The First Financial Federal Credit Union Foundation recently awarded a $500 scholarship to Lauren Harper of New Egypt, a senior who recently graduated from the Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science. She will be attending the University of New Hampshire this fall as a Biomedical Sciences major with a Mathematics minor. In order to qualify for this year’s scholarship, high school seniors attending school in Monmouth or Ocean Counties were given the option to submit a written essay or create a 60 second video clip. The students must also be attending an accredited two or four year college or university in the fall. Four winners were selected to receive a $500 First Financial Foundation Erma Dorrer Literary Scholarship. This year’s essay topic: you and a friend decide that you would like to start building credit. Discuss with your friend what good credit is, ways to start building credit, how your credit union can help and the benefits earned by having good credit. The year’s video topic: create a 60-sec-
ond video that covers the importance of financial literacy. Harper submitted a film clip, which discussed how financial literacy, especially as part of the American Dream, can make a profound impact on one’s financial life from the beginning of adulthood all the way to retirement. In her video she states, “Personal financial literacy requires long term goals and vision. It requires a person to plan for the future and have the discipline to use their financial literacy skills every day. Financial literacy skills span from knowing how much money to save for your first car to choosing the best insurance policy for yourself.” “We are thrilled to be able to aid these admirable and bright young students in their journey of success and education,” said First Financial President and CEO, Issa Stephan. “Our credit union puts a high priority on education. After all, that’s how First Financial began 80 years ago – with a group of schoolteachers in Asbury Park.”

JACKSON – At Six Flags Great Adventure, riders will use Samsung Gear VR powered by Oculus headsets to battle demonic creatures in Rage of the Gargoyles, a fully-integrated Virtual Reality (VR) coaster experience. This immersive adventure will debut on Skull Mountain, the park’s indoor, in-thedark coaster, available exclusively to season pass holders, active members, haunted maze pass purchasers and owners of the Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy Note7, during Fright Fest beginning September 24. “Six Flags is the leader in innovation, taking North America by storm with the introduction of the very first VR coaster experiences. Here at Great Adventure, this revolutionary VR technology will transform our classic, fan favorite into a cutting-edge thrill,” said John Fitzgerald, park president. “Rage of the Gargoyles amps up the fear factor to a level only Fright Fest can deliver.” Rage of the Gargoyles VR will feature fully-integrated VR utilizing Samsung Gear VR headsets to provide a multi-dimensional experience; high-definition imagery and sto-
rytelling synced with 1,377 feet of plunging, twisting coaster track; interactive gaming throughout the entire experience by shooting at flying demons and head-movement targeting allows riders to instantly lock on a moving target. Riders will become fighter jet pilots battling against terrorizing, blood-thirsty gargoyles. Surrounded by 360-degrees of sheer chaos, it is up to the riders to save humanity. Diving and swerving through devastated city streets, this epic conflict reaches a fever pitch as the pilot must attack the vicious master gargoyle – and the surprise ending will leave riders speechless. Skull Mountain, now celebrating its 20th anniversary, will close mid-August for its VR makeover. When it debuts during Fright Fest September 24, season pass holders, active members, haunted maze pass purchasers and owners of the Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy Note7 gain exclusive access to this experience weekends and select days through November 13.

When Your Sense Of Balance Falters Vertigo, dizziness and imbalance will affect 90 million Americans some time during their lifetime. Homosapiens is a Latin expression meaning “the wise human” or “the clever human,” an assigned name due in part to man’s ability to walk upright, an amazing act that we have been pulling off for thousands of years. That is because balance and equilibrium help us stay erect when standing, know where we are in relation to gravity and help us walk, run and move without falling. Despite this, many of us still lose our sense of balance and fall. In fact, dizziness and loss of balance is the second most common complaint heard in doctors’ offices and fear of falling is the number one complaint of individuals in their later years. Balance or one’s sense of equilibrium is a complex process controlled by vestibular organs contained in the inner ear. The functioning of the vestibular system depends on information from many systems including hearing, vision and muscle feedback. If you suffer from dizziness, vertigo or motion sickness, you could have an equilibrium disorder. Rapid head movements, turning too quickly or walking or riding can make the condition worse. A loss of sure footedness is another sign that your normal sense of balance is out of order. If those
descriptions fit you, do not panic. Diagnosis and treatment have become more effective over the last 10 years. For example, with proper diagnosis and therapeutic exercises (known as balance retraining), many older adults can return to a more active lifestyle. Garden State Hearing and Balance Center, an exclusive member of Audigy Group, is proud to partner with the American Institute of Balance (AIB), one of the country’s largest multi-specialty centers for the evaluation of dizziness and balance disorders. The group works closely with the AIB for the certification of professionals, development of clinical protocols and continuing education. Physicians, audiologists, therapists, clinics and hospitals use the institute’s evaluation protocols on therapy programs worldwide. Balance-related falls are responsible for nearly 50 percent of accidental deaths in the elderly and cause over 300,000 hip fractures a year for those over 65 years of age. If you or a loved one is suffering from dizziness, the first step is to differentially diagnose your condition by consulting with an audiologist or otolaryngologist. Specific testing may include audiological evaluation, tympanometry, VNG, Computerized Dynamic Posturography and Electocochleography. Garden State Hearing and Balance has been providing these services for over 20 years.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.
Agricultural Center Offers Free Tick Identi�ication OCEAN COUNTY – Anyone can bring in a tick to the Ocean County Agricultural Center on Whitesville Road in a closed container/ bag for a free identification. In the summer months, they identify over 900 ticks. The three most common ticks in Ocean County are: Black-legged ticks (deer ticks), lone star ticks and American dog ticks. The nymph and adult stages of these ticks are capable of transmitting disease. Ticks cannot pass on disease if they have been attached and feeding for less than 10 hours for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from an American dog tick, 24 hours for Ehrlichiosis from a lone star tick and 36-48 hours for Lyme Disease
from a black-legged tick. Ticks do not f ly or jump, but wait in grassy-weedy areas of parks, backyards, heavily tree lined or forested areas for a host to brush by. When visiting these areas consider covering up with a long sleeve shirt and long pants. Use repellents containing DEET to avoid becoming a host. On August 30, Rutgers Cooperative Extension is hosting a lecture about ticks, Lyme Disease is Really Ticking Me Off, with Tom Barnes from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Agricultural Center at 1623 Whitesville Road. This lecture is free and open to the public. Call 732-349-1246 to register. Visit ocean.njaes.rutgers.edu for more information.

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
The Drug That Causes Gambling By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I was in Las Vegas recently and spent four nights there. I stayed at The Palazzo and checked out the hotels Paris, The Venetian, MGM Grand, Aria, Caesars Palace and probably two others that I walked by. With that many hotels, guess how much I spent on gambling? Five dollars. No kidding. It just doesn’t interest me. I look at big green trash cans and think, “Those were the original slot machines, before casinos figured out they could get more money out of us if they put fancy noises and lights on them.” All kidding aside, gambling is no joke, it’s a hobby for some and an illness for others. And interestingly, we know that some drugs can enhance that gambling state of mind. A few months ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned physicians about Abilify (aripiprazole) and how it could cause impulsive behavior. If you are one of my fans, you’ll know that I said this in 2006 when Abilify was released, and I also mentioned how it could cause rapid weight gain. Abilify is one of the world’s top prescribed drugs. It raked in $6.4 billion in 2013. It’s classified as an antipsychotic medication, but unfortunately physicians dispense it like it’s some kind of Tic Tac for every emotional and mental disorder a patient walks in with. The gambling problems have led to divorces. A quick Google search will reveal anxious lawyers who want to represent patients because they feel like the drug companies knew and kept it hush hush. One patient reportedly played the slots occasionally but never lost more than $50 and then he started Abilify. “After
I ploughed through my bank account, I obtained cash advances on my credit cards and soon maxed them out,” says the patient whose wife now wants a divorce. It’s not just gambling, people who take this drug may feel unnatural cravings to binge eat, have sex or go shopping. When people get these urges (and I mean in an unnatural, unhealthy way), it means that their dopamine level is off. It leads to fighting, infidelities, obesity, bankruptcy and divorce. Funny, I never noticed anything alarming in the TV commercials, everyone looked happy. In 2015, American doctors wrote 1.5 million prescriptions to treat not only schizophrenia, but also depression, bipolar disorder and autism-induced mood problems. We don’t really need studies to prove what Abilify and other drugs do because those drugs work on dopamine. When dopamine is raised excessively, it messes with the chemicals in the brain. Three studies concluded that discontinuation of Abilify could help patients get control of the pathological gambling. These can be easily found in “The British Medical Journal” from 2011, “JAMA” from 2014 and “Addictive Behaviors” from 2014. If you feel like you’ve been shopping excessively, binging on food or anything or experiencing unhealthy urges while taking Abilify, I recommend you speak to your doctor to either reduce your dosage, wean off altogether or try something natural to address brain chemistry and get it healthy again. Healing dopamine receptors takes time and while this side effect is unusual, I want you to know it can happen, because the FDA decided they only needed to warn doctors.

Dear Joel I am very troubled by what I am witnessing with my 17 year old daughter. She has that horrible thing that enlarges the holes in her ears. She has green hair and a ring through her nostrils. I don’t particularly like her friends and feel that she is just heading for trouble. Answer I will say to you what I would say to any mother of a 17 year old. At the age of 17, a young woman is filled with uncertainty. Being that you are writing to me in 2016, it is probably triple the unsettled feeling that many teenagers experience 30, 40, 50 years ago. There is however no way to generalize and please keep in mind that she is an individual. I have no magic for you. If it were my daughter I’d be concerned too. I have, however, made this observation. Although I am somewhat concerned by what she is doing to herself, there is nothing in your description of her that is alarming. You don’t speak of drugs, stealing or

anything else that many mothers are currently dealing with. In as much as seeing this through, and the green hair may be difficult, if I am correct, I’d like for you to hold onto the following comforting words: Try and visualize her with no piercings and natural hair. My hunch is that she will turn out to be that way. What I tell many parents that write to me is to make certain that their children are fully occupied. What I mean by that is making certain that she is devoting a lot of hours to school and homework. Additionally, she isn’t too young to be working alongside her school work. At 17 she is at your mercy of continuing to live at home. That is a big card to hold over a 17 year old head. Remember that you have that power, it is healthy for both of you.

Enforcement Detail Returns To Busy County Road
By Daniel Nee OCEAN COUNTY – A year after officials hailed an enforcement detail on a major, accident-prone county road as a success, law enforcement agencies announced they will refocus their efforts on the roadway. The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office will renew its detail along Route 539, which traverses the western portion of Ocean County, from Little Egg Harbor Township through Plumsted. “Last year’s initiative concluded with over 600 vehicle stops and zero fatalities for the 32 day effort,” said Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato. “The great news is that we have continued to see zero fatalities to date. We want to not only celebrate that success, but use the detail to educate drivers of the wonderful end result of driving responsibly.” The new detail will run through August 28, officials said. A summer detail is important, Coronato said, because the 38 mile-long roadway is a major back artery for vacationers heading to both of Ocean County’s barrier islands. Officials promised “vigilant and aggressive enforcement of all those motor vehicle moving and equipment violations that are major contributory causes to crashes,” an announcement from prosecutor’s office spokesman Al Della Fave said. The detail will target improper passing, excessive speed, driving while under the influence, aggressive driving, improper turning, failing to yield, inattentive driving,
disregarding of traffic signals, following too close and various commercial carrier violations such as overweight, equipment maintenance and brake pressure. Additionally as part of the enforcement efforts, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office personnel assigned to the detail will utilized unmarked police vehicles to report any aggressive and erratic driving to operating marked units. The detail comes as the county has sought to upgrade safety infrastructure on the twolane road, which is prone to single-vehicle crashes as well as multi-vehicle crashes, often traced to vehicles moving into the opposite lane to pass slower drivers. Infrastructure improvements already completed include rumble strips in the centerline of the roadway, raised pavement markers to improve night time visibility, reflective striping, a high-friction road resurfacing and LED signs that are motion-activated and alert drivers to sharp curves in the roadway. The detail was initiated last year after 11 fatal crashes occurred on the roadway within a year. That was in addition to numerous nonfatal accidents that were still deemed serious in nature. During last year’s effort, there were more than 600 motor vehicles stops conducted during the detail, and no fatalities reported.

DEGRAFF LAKEHURST FUNERAL HOME 119 UNION AVENUE, LAKEHURST
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
One of the most frequently asked questions in estate planning is “When should I change my Last Will and Testament?” There is no easy answer to this question. A Will does not get stale or need to be changed just because it is old. An old Will that still says what you want it to say may not need to be changed. So long as the persons named in the Will as beneficiaries are those you want, and those persons named as executors, guardians and trustees are still capable of acting, the Will is still valid. So when should you change your Will? You should change your Will whenever the Will does not say what you want the Will to say. As an example, one of the persons you named as a beneficiary under the Will has passed away or is no longer deserving of your inheritance, or the distribution scheme in your Will is no longer what you may want. Or when a person named as an executor, trustee or guardian under the Will is no longer capable of acting as such. I recommend that you read your Will once a year to make sure that it says what you still want it to say. You should also read your Will whenever there is a major event in your life, such as a birth, death, marriage, divorce, change in financial status or change in competency of any of the persons named in your Will. Does your Will still say what you want in light of that major event? Another reason why I sug-
gest you read your Will at least once a year is to make sure that you remember what you r Marc S. Galella Esq. Will says. I have seen a number of instances where a person tell me what they think their Wills says, only to read the Will and see that it is different than what they thought it said. If you find that your Will needs to be changed, what should you do? The first thing I recommend is to see an attorney. In many cases, an attorney has drafted a Will to be f lexible and to take into account that there may be changes in your life. Often the Will already anticipates the changes in your life and already has alternate provisions that address those events. In other cases, the Will needs to be changed and of course I always recommend that you retain an attorney to prepare a new Will for you. A Will is the most important legal document that most people will ever sign. Everyone should have a Will. But, as important as it is to have a Will, it is equally important that you have a Will that is up to date with what you want your Will to say. That is why I recommend that you review your Will to make sure it says what you want it to say. Read your Will today!

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Juvenate Medical Wellness & Rejuvenation
“Sunita Mann, MD Treats the Patient First... Not the Disease”
Sunita Mann, MD - Functional Medicine Specialist Functional Medicine is a fundamentally new way of thinking about health and disease and puts the power of being healthy back in the patient’s hands, in a partnership with their doctor. Dr. Sunita Mann has a favorite quote that embodies her philosophy of medicine: As Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” As a doctor that practices a relatively new field of medicine known as Functional Medicine, Dr. Mann places a heavy emphasis on eating healthy foods. This brand of medicine seeks to reveal the root cause of chronic health issues by looking at the patient’s entire body and their environment. “The key to this approach is to look beyond a group of symptoms and instead, treat the underlying cause of the condition. Many chronic diseases like Diabetes, Neurological disorders, Menopause and other hormonal imbalances cause significant problems for people and prevents them from living a healthy life. It can also result in a dependence on prescription drugs,” she says. However, there is much more
to healing than drugs. Functional Medicine is a fundamentally new way of thinking about health and disease. Conventional Medicine (which is what she was taught in Medical School) treats the signs and symptoms of disease, often individually. She adds, “We were taught to look at the body as systems rather than the whole being, in which so many health issues are interconnected.” How did you become involved in this area of medicine? Dr. Mann: I’ve found that many functional medicine doctors become involved in the field through their own health journey. The same is true for me. My Conventional Medicine training was in Diagnostic Radiology and Neuroradiology which gave me a great background in diagnosing medical problems. I practiced Radiology for 13 years until 2013 when I developed a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction to the contrast dye I routinely
used in my radiology procedures. As a result of the reaction, I was unable to walk more than 50 feet without feeling shortness of breath, had difficulty climbing steps, and was not able to drive. After many months of recovery, during which I realized I could not continue to practice in my chosen field of medicine, I knew it was time to take care of my health. That journey led me to uncover a whole new world of medicine, which combines the medical principles that are thousands of years old with the cutting edge technology of modern laboratory diagnosis. Because of my background, I needed to see the evidence of what was going on in my own body and from there, discover that health is a continuum: from optimal health, through problems such as weight gain, to high cholesterol, to high blood pressure and high blood sugar, to fatigue, all the way to disease. As I began a journey towards wellness, I realized that my newfound knowledge could help others dealing with illness. I then began my formal certification in Functional Medicine so I could offer these techniques to my patients. What is the main difference between Conventional medical care and Functional medicine? Dr. Mann: Conventional medicine is great at treating acute problems, such as pneumonia, heart attack, infections, and trauma. In fact, without this type of medicine I would not be alive today. After such a severe anaphylactic reaction, the only reason I am here is because of the amazing medical personnel who reacted so quickly to save my life. However, once a person is out of immediate health danger, conventional doctors are not trained to keep people in optimal health. A conventional doctor may counsel patients on eating a healthy diet and getting exercise but they lack the time and tools to help the patient with their specific health concerns. Functional medicine is Personalized Medicine and allows the doctor and patient to work together to look at the specific genetics, environment, laboratory findings and risk factors to formulate a specific plan to achieve the goal of optimal health. What are the benefits of this type of medicine? Dr. Mann: Personalized Functional Medicine treats the whole person rather than parts of the person. By looking at a combination of genetic predispositions, family history, and lifestyle factors (such as nutritional status, exercise, and stress levels) we use targeted
diagnostic tests to see what is going on inside the body. I can then provide an individualized plan to get a patient to optimal health. The goal is to locate and reverse physiological imbalances that may have been present for years before a person manifests disease, and in someone who already has a disease, to use those same tools to reverse the process. What is the most rewarding part about your profession? Dr. Mann:I love to help people who have been to many different conventional doctors looking for help, often bewildered by how they got to this point and then finally come to the realization that they can achieve optimal health. What is the most challenging? Dr. Mann: The field requires a real commitment from the patient to become my partner in getting healthy. There are those who hope for a “magic pill” to solve their chronic health problems and the simple truth is, there is no such thing. Like anything worth having
status, and the health of the gut. All of these factors can be tested for and if a person is found to have problems in any of these areas, they can be treated with a highly personalized plan to reverse these changes. Do you treat a lot of women with hormonal issues? Dr. Mann: Yes I see many patients with hormonal concerns who are afraid to take hormones because they’ve heard that it can increase the risk of cancers and other problems. I like to educate my patients about Bio-identical Hormones, which are very different from the commonly prescribed hormones, derived from horse urine that many women have used in the past. Bio identical hormones are a natural replacement for the hormones we all lose as we age and in fact, are crucial for good health. You could say that Dr. Mann practices what she preaches. After a long day at the office she draws on the relaxation techniques she
in life, optimal health takes commitment and true desire to change the habits that lead the patient down the path to illness. Another challenge is the cost of some of the testing. Unfortunately, many of the tests that assist in functional medicine diagnosis are not covered by insurance. The patient and I have to make a decision about which testing is the most critical to start with. I try to work within their cost constraints but as I explain to patients who have already seen so many other doctors, sometimes paying for the testing themselves makes all the difference in getting healthy. What are the most common issues you see in your profession? Dr. Mann: What I treat mirrors the common health concerns present in America today. Obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer – these are the main drivers of the common killers. Conventional medicine waits until the onset of these conditions to start treatment. Functional medicine uses testing to find the earliest signs that a patient is at risk for a specific disease. I look at the body’s response to certain foods or the presence of food sensitivities, level of inflammation in the body, the hormone
has learned over her years of being in the field. She adds, “One of the most powerful tools available to all of us is the practice of breathing techniques to actually change our physiology.” She uses yoga-breathing exercises in the morning to get ready for the day and ends her day with meditation to help her unwind. By practicing these techniques regularly she is able to reduce stress and directly reduce inflammation in her body, which she believes is the main cause of chronic disease. Dr. Mann grew up in Edison and after obtaining her undergraduate degree in Biology at Rutgers University; she went on to Medical School at UMDNJ-Rutgers. After an internship in Internal Medicine, she obtained a degree in Radiology from UMDNJ- University Hospital and then received advanced fellowship training in Neuroradiology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. She and her husband, who is also a physician have three children and reside in Marlboro. Her office is located at 100 State Route 36, Suite 2G, West Long Branch.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen ‘What’s In A Name?’ Whatever You Call It, This Dish Satisfies By Wolfgang Puck
Shakespeare penned the famous question that Ms. Capulet poses in “Romeo and Juliet.” And that question often applies to food as much as it does to romance. Just like other lovers of good cooking, I’ve found in my travels across America and around the world that very similar dishes can go by very different names in different places. Take the Denver omelet. Or is it the Western omelet? Depending on where you order it, the name may vary. The constants will almost always be some sort of ham, chopped onion and green bell pepper. And it seems that the closer a Western omelet gets to Colorado’s Mile High City, cheese seems to be added and the name changes to Denver omelet. But that’s not always true, and you’ll sometimes find fierce arguments between food lovers over what to put into it or call it. Paraphrasing the Bard, I would simply suggest that whichever name we use, it will taste just as delicious. The same goes with terms used for omelets themselves. Some people still like to use the French spelling, omelette. Cross the border from France to Spain, and cook the omelet flat like a thin pancake instead of folded. And it’s called a tortilla, the same term used in Mexico for their thin, round f latbreads made with flour or corn. Across the Ligurian Sea in Italy, a similar egg dish becomes a frittata. I certainly believe in respecting culinary traditions. Even more, however, I respect ingredients, always trying to select the best, freshest, seasonal, local, organic ones, cooking them in ways that respect their integrity. And as a chef who loves to be creative, I also enjoy coming up with fresh variations on classics. That’s how I came up with the smoked salmon pizza, still an in-demand favorite at Spago and my other restaurants. In a similar spirit, I would like to offer a new creation that I’ll call a Western or Denver frittata. It includes the onion and bell pepper you’d expect. But I use red instead of green pepper, replace the usual ham with pieces of bacon, add a little chopped chile pepper, plus pieces of scallion and cherry tomato, and include Parmesan instead of the Denver version’s customary cheddar or American cheese. As my own changes might suggest, you should feel free to swap out or add your own favorite ingredients. Finally, I cook the omelet flat, in the style of a frittata or tortilla, starting it
on the stovetop and finishing it under the broiler. The result makes a great main dish for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. And I’m sure that, whatever name you might choose to call it by, it’s a versatile dish you are sure to fall in love with. WESTERN OR DENVER FRITTATA Serves 2 to 4 2 thick slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch (6-mm) pieces 1/4 yellow onion, coarsely chopped 1/4 large red bell pepper, diced 1/4 poblano chile, diced 2 medium red potatoes, cooked and sliced, slices cut crosswise in half Freshly ground black pepper Kosher salt 5 large cage-free eggs 4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed 2 scallions, cut diagonally into thin slices 4 cherry tomatoes, quartered Fresh basil leaves, for garnish Preheat the broiler. Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick ovenproof skillet over high heat, saute the bacon until it starts to brown. Pour off excess fat. Add the onion, bell pepper and poblano, and saute until they start to soften slightly; then, add the potato. Continue cooking until the edges of the vegetables are golden brown. Season with pepper and a little salt. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the eggs, Parmesan, cream, and salt and pepper to taste. With a fork, beat until well blended. Drizzle the 1 tablespoon of olive oil around the bacon and vegetables. Pour in the eggs. Over medium heat, stir the eggs briskly with the back of a fork until they begin to set but are still very moist. Scatter the tomatoes and scallions evenly over the top. Place the pan under the preheated broiler. Cook another 1 to 3 minutes, until the eggs are set on top to your liking. Return the pan to medium heat, drizzle the edge and top of the frittata with a little more oil, and continue cooking until the bottom is fully set and golden brown. With the help of a spatula, if necessary, slide the omelet from the pan onto a large serving plate. Garnish with fresh basil leaves. To serve, cut in half or into wedges.
