When It Comes To Drugs, Students Told Berkeley To Save Community News!
#NotEvenOnce
Money When Borrowing
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The township’s bond rating improved, which means it stands to save money when borrowing for projects, officials said. All municipalities have bond ratings set by independent companies. Berkeley uses a company called Standard and Poor’s. This compa ny i mproved Berkeley’s rating from an A+ to an AA-, which is one step up the ladder. “Think of it as having a very good credit score, in the 700s, or close to 800,” said Fred Ebenau, the township’s chief fi nancial officer. He said the score puts the town on par with Fortune 500 companies. What this translates into is having a lower interest rate when

(Right) Joe Solack, a recovery coach, shares stories of his addiction to Central Regional High School students.

Talking to people and getting to know your feelings are ways to keep addiction from getting a hold
money is borrowed, he explained. Not only can the town borrow at a lower rate, but if an opportunity arises that a lower rate is available on money it already owes, it can pursue the lower rate. “Wall Street bond markets would want to lend money to us because they k now we’ll pay them back,” he said. The bond rating looks at a number of factors, including the tax rate, how much surplus is in the town’s coffers, and the total value of all real estate in town, he said. It had been a few years since Standard & Poor’s (S&P) had rated the township, he said. That last time, the township improved two steps from A- to A+. He expects that S&P (Money - See Page 5)

Central Middle School To Offer Local Politicians Against Offshore Drilling “Premium Lunch”
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Local politicians expressed their opposition to a draft plan to open almost all of the U.S. outer continental shelf to oil and gas exploration and drilling. Secretary of the In-
terior Ryan Zinke announced a Draft Proposed Program that initially included 47 potential lease sales to energy companies in 25 of the 26 planning areas – 19 sales off the coast of Alaska, 7 in the Pacific Region, 12 in the

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The Central Regional Middle School will be offering a “premium lunch,” officials said at a recent Board of Education meeting. The normal lunch is $3, and the premium would be $3.50, Superintendent Triantafillos Parlapanides said. The difference is that the premium lunch would get name brand deli cuts with their package of a sandwich and chips, he said.

Continued From Page 1 he had to go through rehab before he was successful and if it was hard to get sober. #NotEvenOnce is a hashtag-friendly mission which started by Manchester Police and has spread to other towns to address the drug problem in a new way in schools. It involves police bringing real information about how the drugs are affecting young people today. There are a series of classes, and then recovered addicts come and talk to the students directly. Police Chief Karin DiMichele said that the program has been well received by the students, and her officers have embraced the program. Mayor Carmen Amato has been supportive of the department starting this.
The program consists of three classes for seniors, Berkeley Patrolman Scott Selby said. However, there is talk of providing it to younger high school kids. “It’s not a 17- and 18-year-old problem, it’s a 14- and 15-year-old problem,” he said. The program covers a lot of areas, including the cycle of addiction that’s been prevalent in Ocean County: prescription painkillers leading to heroin and fentanyl. A $30 pill on the streets is more expensive than a $5 bag of heroin, so people slip into the harder stuff, he said. Some are just getting hooked from taking pills at a party. They show a YouTube video of an addict going through withdrawal to try to get rid of the idea that quitting is easy, he said. The problem might not be visible to everyone, but it’s there. In Berkeley, there were 18 over-

dose deaths in 2016, Selby said. There were 14 in 2017. First responders are now armed with Narcan, the lifesaving chemical nasal spray that temporarily blocks the effects of opioids. Berkeley estimates that they’ve had more than 30 Narcan reversals last year. Central is a regional school district, accepting students from four other towns in addition to Berkeley: Ocean Gate, Island Heights, Seaside Heights and Seaside Park. The above figures are just for Berkeley, and don’t take into account the other four towns. “It’s eye-opening, to say the least,” he said. Some of the students get emotional in class, as it inevitably hits home. Someone always knows someone else who is struggling with addiction, or who overdosed, he said. Platt, the peer recovery specialist, sat on a desk and told the students he was one of those people who has a gene for addiction. “I was the first one to a party and the last one to leave,” he said. A sports injury caused him to get some prescription painkillers, and he became hooked. It jeopardized everything, including his job with the Seaside Heights police. “I didn’t want to feel,” he said. He used drugs and alcohol to numb everything. It caused his divorce and made family relationships difficult. “I wasn’t feeling emotions at all.” He urged students to recognize their feelings and talk about them. This isn’t the time to be macho. If people are in touch with their emotions, they realize why they behave in self-destructive ways. “Outside of the drugs and alcohol, we have ourselves,” he told a silent room. “You can be in a room with 1,000 people and
still feel alone,” he said. “They need to talk to somebody.” Joe Solack, a recovery coach, was the next person to talk to the students. “I’m Joe and I’m definitely an addict,” he said. “I remember when I was in your seats. I thought it was such a big joke. I’ll never be like that.” Solack described what he was like in high school: Playing sports, living in a big house with a fairly established name, dating the most popular girl in school. No one thought he was going to be the person doing drugs. The people you expect to become addicts wind up doing all right and the people you expect to do well wind up on the street corner. “Drug addiction is not a homeless guy in a dumpster,” he said. Flash forward to trying to hold down a job as a mechanic while being an addict, coming to work high, and winding up pinned between dump truck parts. He said he is lucky to be sober now. Others he knew were not so lucky. “Two weekends ago, I buried a friend of mine,” he said. He had been through rehab a few times. Platt had even arrested him once. He compared it to getting a tune-up before going back out and starting again. His mother told him “I don’t want to go into your room to wake you up and you don’t wake up.” That still wasn’t enough to get clean. Then, there was a moment of clarity where he realized the next stop was either a seizure from withdrawal, being institutionalized, or death. He called Platt and asked for help. “There is a way out. There is hope,” he said.

Drilling:
Continued From Page 1 opposed to any offshore drilling of any kind off the coast of New Jersey,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the county’s Division of Tourism and Business Development. “Drilling for oil and natural gas off our coastline would pose more problems than it would remedy.” The Freeholders are expected to pass a resolution opposing offshore drilling at the board’s Jan. 17 meeting. It would be one of many resolutions that they have passed in opposition to drilling over the years. Such drilling would seriously impact the county’s tourism industry, which brought $4.68 billion into the local economy in 2016, Vicari said. “(Tourism) generates jobs, supports businesses and provides tax revenue, all of which could be endangered should offshore drilling be permitted,” Vicari said. “It doesn’t matter who proposes offshore drilling, it’s not good for New Jersey. It’s not a partisan issue.” Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ) said that New Jersey and other states with serious concerns about drilling should be exempt the same way Florida is. “Florida is not ‘unique’ in this situation,” said Smith, who has historically been against offshore drilling here. “New Jersey—along with other coastal states— has serious concerns about the potential consequences of offshore drilling and exploration for its $8 billion commercial and recreational fishing industry and its beach tourism, which contributes significantly to its over $40 billion tourism industry.” Since Zinke said a discussion with Florida Governor Rick Scott prompted him to leave Florida out of consideration for oil and gas, Smith said he hoped Zinke would heed similar calls from New Jersey. Zinke said in a statement recently: “President Trump has directed me to rebuild our offshore oil and gas program in a manner that supports our national energy policy and also takes into consideration the local and state voice. I support the governor’s position that Florida is unique and its coasts are heavily reliant on tourism as an economic driver. As a result of discussion
Money:
Continued From Page 1 will revisit this rating again soon. He said the next time, the township will likely get at least the next step up, which would be AA. The state pension system is affecting the town’s rating. The state does not bill the township the full amount that the town owes. S&P docks municipalities that don’t pay the full amount. Ebenau said he doesn’t know of any municipality that pays more than what the state asks. Mayor Carmen Amato said in a press re-
The Berkeley Times, January 27, 2018, Page 5 with Governor [Scott] and his leadership, I am removing Florida from consideration for any new oil and gas platforms.” Smith said he sent a letter of opposition to Zinke signed by all members of the New Jersey Congressional Delegation. “Economically, this proposal will impact 1.4 million jobs and over $95 billion in gross domestic product that rely on healthy Atlantic Ocean ecosystems,” the letter stated. “We urge you to reconsider opening our coast to oil and gas exploration and development. Asserting our energy independence and protecting our environment do not have to be mutually exclusive, and we must accomplish this in a way that does not compromise our coastal waters and beaches that drive our economy.” Even a minor oil spill could wash ashore and ruin native habitats and tourism, he said. The seismic testing can be disruptive and even fatal to marine wildlife. “All states and localities opposed to this drilling proposal should be heard and those with compelling reasons, like New Jersey, should receive waivers, if we’re really about respecting local concerns in our national energy policy,” Smith said. Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-3rd) sent out a message to the media that he spoke with Zinke about the plan and expressed his opposition. “I have been, and remain opposed to oil drilling off the New Jersey coast because of the potential threat to the environment and the Jersey Shore’s tourism and fishing industries,” MacArthur said. “Secretary Zinke has been a trusted friend and colleague - we served together on both the House Natural Resources and Armed Services Committees - and he assured me of continued communication and transparency surrounding the Department of the Interior’s Draft Proposed Plan. The Secretary also reiterated his promise that stakeholders, including elected officials, local businesses, and fishing industry-related groups would be consulted on this issue. I appreciate Secretary Zinke’s friendship and the time he took to discuss this with me. I genuinely believe that we can work together to protect our environment and our shore economy from the dangers posed by drilling for oil off New Jersey’s coast.”
lease that this move rewards the township’s “strong budgetary performance, flexibility and very strong liquidity.” The increases in the bond rating is impressive given how the township had lost so many ratables to Superstorm Sandy, he said. “Once again we are extremely pleased that S&P has recognized the extreme effort we have made to be financially responsive to our taxpayers despite these difficult economic times,” Amato said. He thanked the administration and Councilman John Bacchione, who chairs the finance committee, for their efforts.

By Kimberly Bosco STAFFORD – Police are urging parents to monitor their children’s online activity after charging a Bayville man with the sexual assault of a 12-year old girl in Stafford Township. Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato and Stafford Township Police Chief Thomas Dellane announced that 19-year old Joseph Barden of Bayville has been arrested on charges of Aggravated Sexual Assault, Sexual Assault, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child. T he investigation into the mat ter began on Jan. 19 when reports were made to the Stafford Township police that the 12-year old girl was assaulted. The investigation found that Barden and the girl had a correspondence via cell phone and Facebook over the course of a few weeks, where they would chat and exchange photos. Barden then visited the girl’s home in Stafford, climbed th rough her wi ndow, and allegedly sexually assaulted her on Jan. 19. T he ar rest was made by St afford Township Police Det.

Vehicle Thefts in Berkeley, Police Remind Residents To Lock Cars
By Kimberly Bosco BERKELEY – Police are investigating recent vehicle thefts that occurred on Jan. 13 near Ocean Gate, officials said. Police responded to reports of vehicle entries around Narragansett Ave. and Long Branch Ave. where victims reported that someone stole personal items and money from their cars overnight. Despite the stolen items, none of the vehicles were damaged and they were all unlocked.
“Residents are reminded to always lock their vehicle doors as these are frequent targets of oppor t unity for would be thieves,” Police Chief Karin T. DiMichele said. “Valuables should always be kept in a safe and secure place other than a vehicle.” If you have any further information about the thefts, contact the Berkeley Township Police Department TIP line at 732-341-1132, ext. 611.
Large Natural Gas Leak Causes Evacuation And Road Closures
INWARD-LOOKING EYES
About one percent to two percent of the U.S. population has a condition known as “esotropia” in which one or both eyes turn inward. “Infantile esotropia,” which occurs within the first year of life, is usually treated with surgery, eyeglasses, or Botox injections before a child is two years of age. Treatment is often very successful, with relatively few children experiencing visual problems as they grow up. “Acquired esotropia,” which develops later in life, may result from medical conditions including diabetes or other eye problems such as untreated farsightedness. Double vision is the primary symptom among those with this condition, which may be treated with prescription eyeglasses and vision therapy. In some cases, surgery may be required. Prematurity, a family history, and various neurological and genetic disorders increase the risk of eye misalignment. Some systemic disorders like hyperthyroidism and diabetes can cause ocular misalignment. To schedule an eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

By Kimberly Bosco BERKELEY – A large natural gas leak caused the evacuation of several homes and the closure of nearby roads on Jan. 11. Patrolman Jerry Bacon and Patrolman Michael Connell of the Berkeley Township Police Department responded to the area of Richard Road and Morris Blvd after there was a report of a sizable natural gas leak. When they arrived on the scene, they noted that a valve malfunctioned, which was the cause of the large leak.
The New Jersey Natural Gas Company (NJNG) and the Bayville Fire Department responded immediately to remedy the leak. During this time, several homes in the area were evacuated and nearby roads were closed as a safety precaution. NJNG solved the issue in little time, securing the valve and gas flow. Residents returned to their homes and the roads have reopened, but the gas company continues to work on the valve. No injuries were reported during this incident.

Connors, Rumpf & Gove Outraged By Christie Veto Of Superstorm Sandy Clawback Bill CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove
NEW JERSEY – As representatives of a legislative district that’s among those hardest hit by Superstorm Sandy, Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove conveyed outrage and empathy for affected Sandy victims in response to Governor Christie’s refusal to sign the Superstorm Sandy clawback bill. The intent of the legislative policy i nitiative (A- 4784/S-3149), which passed both houses of the Legislature, was to address circumstances in which Superstorm Sandy victims are
required to refund overpayments, known as “clawbacks,” in Sandy assistance aid. Each member of the 9th District delegation joined as cosponsors on the bill that was introduced by Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (D-15). The members of the 9th District delegation issued the following statement regarding Governor’s Christie’s pocket veto of the Sandy clawback bill: “For those Sandy victims who’ve had too many sleepless nights contending with an endless bureaucratic nightmare, we worked together with the New Jersey
Organizing Project to advance this legislation with the intent of providing the necessary assistance, including mediation, to help resolve clawback cases. “It became readily apparent that corrective action was required in the face of what many viewed as the unacceptable practices of a callous bureaucratic process that wasn’t offering alternatives – just ultimatums – to those with legitimate grievances and hardships. “As representatives of a legislative district in which thousands were displaced by the catastrophic damage, we are outraged that Governor Christie pocket vetoed the clawback bill and failed to extend this needed lifeline to affected Sandy victims. “Making this situation all the more egregious is the very fact that amendments to the bill offered by the Christie Administration through

Olsen This aerial view during an Army search and rescue mission shows damage from Superstorm Sandy to the New Jersey coast, Oct. 30, 2012. the New Jersey Department of Community and Urban Affairs were adopted by the Legislature in an act of good faith by legislators advocating on behalf of Sandy victims. “Throughout the legislative process, our delegation
relied heavily on the invaluable input and expertise of the New Jersey Organizing Project which has worked tirelessly to assist Sandy victims trying to stave off financial ruin and get back in their homes. “Moving forward, we are
prepared to work with the New Jersey Organizing Project, our legislative colleagues and the new administration to assist Sandy victims, including clawback cases, so these individuals can move on with their lives.”
MacArthur Reveals Bipartisan Heroin Task Force Releases Legislative Agenda for 2018 From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur WASHINGTON, DC – The Bipartisan Heroin Task Force led by Representatives Tom MacArthur (RNJ), Annie Kuster (D-NH), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and Donald Norcross (DNJ) released its legislative agenda for 2018. The agenda includes commonsense, bipartisan legislation to address the opioid epidemic by supporting prevention, treatment, recovery, and law enforcement efforts. The bills included in the agenda include Jessie’s Law, the STOP OD Act, the Addiction Recovery Through
Family Health Accounts Act, Addiction Treatment Access Improvement Act, Road to Recovery Act, the INTERDICT Act, TREAT Act, the Synthetic Drug Awareness Act, the CRIB Act, and the VA Prescription Data Accountability Act, Veterans Treatment Court Improvement Act, Improve Addiction Education Act, Opioid Addiction Prevention Act, Every Prescription Conveyed Securely Act, MONITOR Act, and Addiction Recovery for Rural Communities Act. “As we begin the New
Year, the Bipartisan Task Force remains even more committed to fighting the opioid epidemic that has ravaged so many communities and families across the country,” said Congressman Tom MacArthur, co-chair of the Task Force. “Our agenda represents the important balance of showing compassion for those suffering with substance abuse, while stopping the flow of drugs into our neighborhoods. It’s a crucial step in this fight. Since its creation, the Bipartisan Task Force has grown to 100 members and has been able to successfully advocate against drastic cuts to the Office of National Drug Control Policy, and, shape and advance CARA and the 21st Century Cures Act through Congress. We will continue to build on
these accomplishments and stand together in our fight against substance abuse.” “The opioid epidemic has had a serious impact on communities and families throughout New Hampshire, but no cor ner of the country has been untouched,” said Congresswoman Kuster, the founder and co-chair of the Task Force. “The Bipartisan Heroin Task Force represents 100 Members of Congress, both Republicans and Democrats, who are standing together to take real action to stem the tide of this crisis. Our Task Force has successfully pushed for action in Congress to address the opioid epidemic. The agenda we’re outlining today comprises bipartisan, commonsense solutions that will improve prevention,
expand access to treatment and recovery services, and bolster support for law enforcement. I look forward to working with my colleagues to advance these proposals.” “In 2016, more than 42,000 Americans died from an opioid overdose, including dozens right here in our community,” said Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, vice-chair of the Task Force. “It’s clear this epidemic is destroying lives and costing our nation precious resources. While our Task Force has taken great strides in increasing awareness of, and providing legislative solutions to, opioid addiction, there is still work to be done. Fighting back against this epidemic requires the clear, bipartisan approach outlined in this agenda; one that responds to the re-
al-world concerns expressed by local lawmakers, community leaders and healthcare professionals across the country who endeavor to tackle this crisis each day.” “The Bipartisan Heroin Task Force continues to stand together offering commonsense legislative solutions to curb the opioid epidemic because one preventable death is too many,” said Congressman Donald Norcross, vice-chair of the Task Force. “In New Jersey, deaths from heroin and fentanyl overdoses more than tripled in the last five years. That’s tragic and unacceptable. We must invest time, effort and money to save lives. Every delay means we’ll lose another child, grandchild, friend or neighbor to the disease of addiction.”

From June 7-10, 2018, the internationally recognized LIFF will be bringing together filmmakers, industry professionals, and avid film fans to enjoy the modern storytelling of cinema in the relaxing beach environment of LBI. You can now submit films through Film Freeway. The accepted genres are: Animation, Documentary, Experimental, Feature, Multimedia, Music Video, Narrative Fiction, New Media / Web, Screenplay, Short, Television, and Virtual Reality. The LIFF screenings will include Question and Answer sessions. Industry breakfast events and filmmaker attendance at the film screenings helps to encourage networking as well. One of the goals of the festival is for filmmakers to engage in a dialogue with their audience while enjoying the scenic beach areas and all that the island has to offer. The LIFF has also announced that submissions are open for the “Write by the Beach” program. This program is a writers’ retreat for
female screenwriters and filmmakers. This program offers selected screenwriters the opportunity to spend a week in a beach house prior to the 2018 Festival to foster their creativity on whatever project they are currently working. Use the scenery and atmosphere of the beach to help your creativity flow with this program! Eligible female writers must have at least one credit as primary screenwriter on a produced short or feature film. Priority will be given to those writers currently working on feature-length screenplays in the selection process. Additional information may be required, such as writing samples, film or equivalent writing credits and a brief synopsis of your current writing project. To submit films to the LIFF, you can enter them through Filmfreeway.com or Withoutabox.com by Feb. 23. There is an early bird special discount for early submissions sent in by Jan. 26.

New Law Regulates Deed Procurement And Solicitation
TOMS RIVER – Ocean County Clerk Scott M. Colabella said a newly signed state law will help residents from being overcharged for certified copies of deeds by private vendors. “This bill was endorsed by the Constitutional Officers Association of New Jersey and we are very pleased to see it signed into law,” said Colabella. “This will help many of our residents who have been taken advantage of by vendors charging high prices for a certified copy of deed that can easily be obtained at County Clerk offices for far less.” The new law stipulates that when deed solicitors advertise their services, they are also to include the address and telephone number of the appropriate County Clerk’s office through which the recipient could obtain a copy of the deed directly. In addition, the bill prohibits deed procurement companies from creating a false impression in a solicitation for deed procurement services that the recipient is legally required to use the services in order to obtain a copy of a deed. Colabella said the new stipulations will help reduce the number of private vendors charging high prices for deeds. “We have been closely working with the Ocean County Department of Consumer Af-
fairs in trying to stop this practice,” Colabella said. “And while it was not illegal, these types of businesses were marking up the prices anywhere from $80 to $89. “The markup was far higher than the average $10 that is charged for a certified copy of a deed at my office, which is usually about five pages,” he said. Colabella also noted that most deeds can be viewed online for free by accessing the County Clerk’s website at clerk.co.ocean.nj.us. In Ocean County, this kind of solicitation can be costly especially for the many seniors that live here, Colabella said. “Our seniors can be vulnerable to these types of solicitations,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the Office of Senior Services and the Department of Consumer Affairs. “This should certainly help our seniors.” The bill stipulates that a violation of its provisions is punishable under the consumer fraud act. An unlawful practice is punishable by a monetary penalty of not more than $10,000 for the first offense and not more than $20,000 for any subsequent offense. Anyone interested in obtaining a deed can contact the Ocean County Clerk’s Office at 732-929-2018.

Six Flags Great Adventure Seeks To Fill 4,000 Positions For The New Season
COLD INDUCED FOOT INJURIES
Dr. Evan Kelner
As we are all aware of, our part of the country has been engulfed in an unusual pattern of below freezing temperatures recently. These cold temperatures pose a number or health and safety risks. One of these problems are cold induced injuries to the feet. Pernio, otherwise known as chillblains, is the most common of these problems. Pernio is characterized by an inflammation of the skin with itchy or painful red lesions or blisters, usually under the toes. Damp or humid conditions can make the problem worse. With proper treatment, the condition resolves in 2-4 weeks. A more serious type of cold induced foot injury is frostbite. Unlike pernio, frostbite can lead to tissue death. Frostbite can range of swelling, redness, blister formation, and pain to gangrene. It is important with any cold induced injury to avoid cold temperatures and keep the feet dry. It is also advisable to cease smoking. One should also avoid extreme hot conditions such as soaking the feet in hot water. The use of topical steroids can help the itching. In some severe cases, vasodilators could be used. Use of warm heating pads on the abdomen may also help by redirecting blood from the central core to the extremities. If you must go out in freezing cold weather, wear warm non-restrictive socks and boots. Keep the feet dry and limit your exposure to the cold as much as possible.

A growing body of research shows mindfulness–based strategies can reduce the stress that often accompanies tinnitus, and they may even increase your emotional well-being. The St ress of Tin nit us - Many who experience tinnitus — a ringing, buzzing, or whistling with no apparent sound source — f ind it insignif icant. But for others, it’s downright debilitating and brings on headaches, anxiety, or even depression. Someone with a stressful tinnit us response doesn’t simply hear a sou nd — they also exper ience tension, worry, and fear. One theory for this: The amygdala, a fear-determining region in your brain, misinterprets the tinnitus as a potential threat, keeping the body and mind in a state of constant vigilance. The Benef its of Mindf ulness Mindfulness techniques can reduce your tinnitus stress response. Dr. Jon K abat-Zi n n , develop e r of a mindfulness based stress-reduction program used in hospitals across the U.S., describes mindfulness as “paying at tention in a par ticular way: on pu r pose, i n t he present mome nt , a nd nonjudg me nt al ly.” Mindfulness is a skill you can develop over time. Mindfulness-based strategies work on two levels. Consciously, mindfulness loosens the
grip of anxiety and fear caused by your tinnitus, so you no longer spend emotional energy trying to avoid it. On an unconscious level, mindfulness retrains your amygdala to see tinnitus as simply a sound, not a threat, so the fear and anxiety don’t get kick-started in the first place. Options Abound - Popular ways to learn mindfulness techniques are: • University programs • Mindfulness-based stress-reduction programs • Cognitive behavioral therapy • Websites or smartphone apps Power in Numbers - There is no cure for tinnitus, but there are ways to minimize its effects, such as: • Sound therapy. A tone or pleasant sound masks your tinnitus. • Habituation. Sounds matching your tinnitus are played back to you – often at levels you can’t hear – to inhibit your tinnitus. • Hearing aids. Often, tinnitus is connected to hearing loss, so hearing aids can provide relief. Plus, many hearing aids now offer masking or habituation as well. Combining mindfulness techniques with these other methods increases your ability to tackle tinnit us. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to Dr. Izzy & Staff at 732-818-3610 or visit gardenstatehearing.com

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Breast Implants May Be Linked To Lymphoma
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Hundreds of thousands of women voluntarily opt for breast augmentation surgery. There are many reasons for that, and certainly women perceive the size and shape of their breasts to be a vital component of their femininity. Whether it’s for breast cancer reconstruction, or because you seek the “perfect” body, the addition of something foreign into your body will impact your immune system. For sure, our country is a little obsessed with bust size. I wonder if most women would opt for it, if they knew they were risking perfect health, and possibly risking their life? I’m referring to women who do this for cosmetic purposes only. Many women who have undergone breast augmentation suffer in vague ways and get sick. They may not even relate their new problems to their breast implants, or they might deny it. For example, suddenly you feel fatigued, or get migraines or get frequent infections, depression, memory loss, joint pain, panic attacks, personality changes, Reynaud’s disease (fingers turning white), cognitive problems, brain fog, autoimmune disorders and new allergies. These may be symptoms that correlate with breast implant illness. These new symptoms will get ‘treated’ with a handful of prescriptions. Within a few years, you’re heavily medicated. Very few physicians will link your “breast implant illness” to the root of your current symptoms. The health problems that you suffer with could very well resolve themselves if you remove the implants. I know you don’t want
to hear this, but if something I just said “clicked” for you, and maybe you cried, it may be because I just figured out the problem you’ve had for years now. I’ve seen this exact situation with two friends from Florida, both had implants for more than 20 years, and when both ladies surgically removed them, their health improved dramatically within a year! If you’d like more details, I have them. I’ll send you a more comprehensive version of this article if you sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com. New research from the Netherlands was just published in this month’s JAMA Oncology and it was very disheartening. Women with breast implants have a higher risk of developing a rare type of non-Hodgkins lymphoma. It’s called ALCL, which stands for Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. This is not breast cancer; it’s an immune system cancer. The Netherland study found out that women with ALCL were about 421 times more likely to have breast implants than women with other lymphomas in their breast. If you’re deciding whether or not to get implants, my advice is: don’t. It’s not because of the Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma risk, it’s more about the fact that your body isn’t equipped to deal with two foreign sacs in it, and at some point, the oxidative stress and immune dysfunction that results will never be worth it. If you could see your life in a crystal ball 20 years from now, see it with implants and see it without them. That may sway your decision.

Inside The Law Injured At Work?! Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Michael J. Deem, Esq, of R.C. Shea and Associates
You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization. Further, it is important to note another
critical benefit of the Michael J. Deem Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. 732-505-1212.

According to a police press release, the TV was carried out of the store without being paid for. Police reached out to the public via social media and news sources to help identify the men. The initial posting stated that one of the men was wanted in relation to thefts of televisions from several stores. This led to the arrest of Jason Mayer, 35, of Lakehurst, and Clifton Wells III, 36, of Bayville. They were both charged with theft and are awaiting a future court date.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of january 27 - february 2
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Plan to exercise poise. A significant other might surprise you with a touch of the exotic or a friend may present a sudden change of plans. In the week ahead work behind the scenes to enhance your reputation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Drift along with the crowd as a sightseer. The urge to be outrageous and shocking will fade as you get back into regular routines. As this week unfolds you may want to be pampered but practical at the same time. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Practice makes perfect. Put extra effort into fulfilling existing obligations in the week to come. Pass up invitations to community events so that there is more time to tend to family based goals and activities. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The road to pennilessness is paved with good intentions. Follow through on financial commitments and don’t waste your resources by overpaying for luxury items. You can be creative without being extravagant. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Push the envelope not the paperwork. You may prefer to be an entrepreneur rather than a traditionalist. If you show you know “what’s what” others will quickly develop confidence in your abilities in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Play by the rules. Problems that appear may reflect a lack of foresight in the past. Take pains to make corrections immediately so that you won’t be held accountable in the future. Focus on joint financial security.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Achieving goals should be at the top of your list in the week ahead. You are sometimes so challenged by unexpected expenses and financial outlays that you forget the real reason you have so much overhead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Going overboard by showering someone with presents might do your heart good, but won’t do much for your wallet. In the week to come you must try to be sensible when dealing with business and financial affairs. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may brim with ideas, but someone may dampen your ardor by asking detailed questions. Your creative urges could be bogged down when you must deal with practical considerations in the week ahead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Focus on following advice obtained from partners and elders in the week ahead. Any small impulsive changes you make now could affect your finances or your relationships in an unexpected manner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Too much of a good thing can be good for you. Money may slip through your fingers in generous amounts, but for some reason the expenditures will prove to be for a good cause. Pamper a partner this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Produce the product. You could be riding high on a wave of popularity this week, but people may be unwilling to take your promises at face value. Concentrate on important projects while energy levels are high.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Sunday Brunch Day: Cap OffYourWinter WeekendsWith Comforting SourdoughWaffles By Wolfgang Puck
So many people think of sourdough as an all-American - or at least North American - phenomenon. Credit that to the fact that sourdough starters (wild yeast cultures regularly fed and nurtured to keep available for leavening bread) were mainstays not only of pioneering life but also among the miners who made sourdough the reliable daily bread in San Francisco during the 1849 California Gold Rush era; plus, other miners came to be known as “sourdoughs” during the Klondike Gold Rush in Canada during the late 1890s. In reality, though, sourdough is much older and more global. For many centuries, all yeast-leavened bread was sourdough, stretching back to ancient Egypt and up to the widespread development of commercial yeasts in the early 20th century. Today, sourdough cultures are still nurtured in many traditional homes, and it’s finding new enthusiasts among artisanal bakers and home bread makers alike. When I first visited San Francisco many years ago, I was amused when I was asked if I ever had anything like their beloved sourdough bread. Of course I had, having grown up in Austria eating rustic sourdough. I love baking with sourdough starters myself and usually offer some form of sourdough bread in my restaurants. So today, I would love to offer you a taste of sourdough to enjoy in your own kitchen. But I’ll keep it simple with a recipe that provides the pleasures of real, tangy sourdough flavor without need for the mixing, kneading and rising traditional loaves require. How is that possible? My sourdough waffles make it easy. Waffles, like pancakes made from similar batters, are in fact a simple form of bread known as a quick bread, primarily leavened by the carbon dioxide gas released instantly when baking powder - one of the recipe’s dry ingredients - comes in contact with the batter’s liquid. But the recipe I share here gets extra lightness and flavor from a simply made sourdough starter. Once your waffle batter is ready, use whatever regular or Belgian-style waffle iron you have, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Cook them until deep golden-brown, and - straight to your kitchen - you’ll experience your own Gold Rush! SOUR DOUGH WAFFLES WITH FRUIT SYRUP Makes 5 8-inch (20-cm) waffles
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) sourdough starter for waffles (recipe follows) 1/2 cup (125 mL) nonfat milk 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted 1 large egg 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt Nonstick cooking spray Fruit Syrup (recipe follows) In a large mixing bowl, combine the starter, milk, melted butter, and egg. Stir well. In a smaller bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add these dry ingredients to the starter mixture, and stir until well combined. Leave, covered, at warm room temperature until bubbles begin to form, about 30 minutes. Heat a waffle iron and coat lightly but evenly with nonstick spray. Using a 4-ounce (125 mL) ladle, pour batter evenly into the waffle iron and cook until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately with a drizzle of fruit syrup. S OU R D OUG H STA RT E R F O R WAFFLES Makes about 4 cups (1 L) 3 cups (750 mL) all-purpose flour 2 cups (500 mL) nonfat milk 1 cup (250 mL) plain yogurt with live cultures 1 small potato, peeled and finely grated In a medium bowl, stir together all the ingredients until thoroughly combined. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and leave at warm room temperature until the batter begins to bubble and develops a somewhat pleasant sour smell, about 24 hours. Transfer the starter to a covered container, and store in the refrigerator for at least three days before using. FRUIT SYRUP Makes about 1 1/3 cups (335 mL) 1 cup (250 mL) pure maple syrup 1/3 cup (85 mL) small blueberries, sliced strawberries or other fresh fruit 2 teaspoons grated orange zest Put the syrup, fruit and orange zest in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the syrup and fruit are warm, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve immediately.
