Heritage Development Faces Opposition At Public Hearing

By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – The State Department of Environmental Protection heard from residents about what they thought of Hovsons’ proposed development that could build 4,000 new homes, and many were not happy with the plan.

This is the latest chapter in a saga that began many years ago. At one point, in 2004, Hovsons, the Pinelands Commission, the DEP and Manchester agreed to a set tlement for 2,200 homes. This plan would have lead to the development of 995.4 acres, w it h 6,179.7 acres in the property to be preserved.

However, the developer made a not her application for 4,000 homes with recreation, a clubhouse, and 40,000 square feet of commer-

Since it is a new plan,

it has to go through the same steps as the last one. One of these steps is a DEP hearing.

A majority of the

speakers seemed not to like this plan. They were asked to sign in to give their public comments.

Surf & Stream Neighbor May Also Be Redeveloped

By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – Another plot of land on Ridgeway Road might be redeveloped as well: a former farm near the Surf & Stream Campground.

Recently, the Township Council approved the investigation of a redevelopment plan by the Planning Board for Surf & Stream.

The owner had decided to convert it into something else, possibly a mix of permanent residential and commercial.

A redevelopment plan becomes a contract between the town, the owner of the property, and any other relevant parties, if there are any. It allows the town more control over what can be placed there, as opposed to the owner making an application to the planning board.

However, there are state guidelines that determine whether a project can be a candidate for redevelopment. The Township Council had already sent Surf & Stream to the planning board to investigate this possibility. At the most recent meeting, they also sent a nearby property to the planning board to see if that property could be redeveloped as well.

Prosecutor Coronato:

Will He Stay Or Will He Go?

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – It’s the governor’s prerogative to appoint county prosecutors.

Can petitions to a Democrat governor sway him to reappoint a Republican appointee?

Ocean County officials hope so.

It’s not only the county freeholders who want prosecutor Joseph Coronato to keep his job, an appointment he’s had since 2013 under former Governor Chris Christie. The

county’s Police Chiefs Association and Association of School Board Administrators, and a county-wide initiative headed by police chaplain James Occhipinti, is asking Gov. Phil Murphy to let the prosecutor finish what he’s started.

“This really represents an extraordinary outpouring of support from law enforcement, community itself, and from community organizations, that (Prosecutor - See Page 5)

County Wants Marijuana To Stay Illegal

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – When it comes to recreational pot, the freeholders are going to side with the Feds, not the new governor.

The freeholders passed a resolution at their Feb. 7 meeting opposing any state law which might allow for the use and sale of recreational marijuana.

Berkeley Township and Point Pleasant Beach have proactively banned such sales, with other towns considering such bans.

Eight states—Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, Alaska, Nevada, Maine

and Massachusetts—and Washington, D.C. have legalized recreational marijuana. However, the Federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970 is still the law of the land, and bans the possession, use, purchase, sale or cultivation of cannabis for recreational use.

Freeholder Virginia Haines found it ironic that a government that has spent billions on anti-smoking campaigns over the decades, with a health-care system burdened by smoking-related illnesses (Marijuana - See Page 4)

Continued From Page 1 and deaths, would even consider legalizing recreational marijuana.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (drugabuse.gov) does report that marijuana has short- and long-term consequences, both physical and mental, especially with sustained use and high doses. Some problems, such as breathing issues and increased heart rate, mimic the effects of cigarette smoke.

Marijuana, along with alcohol and tobacco, are considered gateway drugs.

“Now the governor of the State of New Jersey wants to allow people to smoke marijuana. If this isn’t the complete opposite of what we’ve been talking about for 30-35 years, especially to young people not to smoke. My father died from smoking, so I know exactly what that disease can do to the lungs,” Haines said. “It’s just very ironic that all [Murphy] has cared about is the money it is going to bring in.”

The Economy Of Legalization The Medical Marijuana Program Directory (mmpdirectory.com) pointed to Colorado’s economic growth since legalizing pot in 2014. According to MMP, which has a page dedicated to five reasons why New Jersey should legalize marijuana, “the total revenue from taxes, licenses, and fees increased 77% from calendar year 2014 to 2015, going from $76,152,468 up to $135,100,465.”

Different reports say legalizing marijuana could add $1.3 billion to NJ’s economy, although Murphy has not said how that additional revenue would be spent.

The General’s

But not so fast, Freeholder John Bartlett Jr. said.

Besides questioning how law enforcement can determine an impaired state, he asked how Murphy thinks the state will see revenue.

“What makes even less sense is the proposition that the state may gain $300 million in tax revenues from taxing it. That’s preposterous. Do you know why,” Bartlett asked.

“Because this has to be a cash economy, because it is federally illegal. A business selling marijuana in New Jersey cannot deposit that money in a bank. So, if you can’t deposit it in a bank, you can’t write a check. And if it’s cash, it never sees the books.

“So how in the heck is the State going to collect tax revenues on a cash economy, which no one knows exactly what it is,” Bartlett said.

A New York Times Magazine feature from Jan. 4, 2018, “Where Pot Entrepreneurs Go When the Banks Just Say No,” showed how one Denver marijuana business owner solved this problem: Safe Harbor Private Banking, a division of Partner Colorado Credit Union in the Denver suburb of Arvada, provides checking accounts to marijuana businesses.

They are operating in clear violation of federal law, the article makes clear.

According to NYT Magazine writer Robb Mandelbaum, clients deposited $931 million in 2017, the most of any bank or credit union willing to defy federal law and provide accounts to marijuana businesses.

The article did not touch upon how revenues were or could be collected from such businesses.

How The Feds See Pot Marijuana is listed as a Schedule I drug, along with heroin, LSD, ecstasy, methaqualone and peyote. Despite petitions brought to the federal Drug Enforcement Administration to reclassify cannabis, in 2016 the Administration refused to move it from Schedule I. “A substance is placed in Schedule I if it has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and a high potential for abuse.

These criteria are set by statute,” Chuck Rosenberg, then DEA acting administrator, wrote in an Aug. 11, 2016 letter to Gov. Gina M. Raimondo of Rhode Island, Gov. Jay R. Inslee of Washington State, and Bryan A. Krumm, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner at Sage Neuroscience Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. “Schedule I includes some substances that are exceptionally dangerous and some that are less dangerous (including marijuana, which is less dangerous than some substances in other schedules). That strikes some people as odd, but the criteria for inclusion in Schedule I is not relative danger.”

Rosenberg further stated that legitimate or “meritorious” research into any benefits derived from cannabis has been supported by government agencies.

Freeholder Gerry Little noted that it is a Schedule 1 drug during his Feb. 7 comments, which were widely mocked by other media outlets, misinterpreting his statement that cocaine was less addictive than marijuana. Cocaine is a Schedule II substance.

“My Feb. 7 comment comparing cocaine (an FDA Schedule II Drug) as less addictive than marijuana (An FDA Schedule I Drug) was inaccurate,” Little said in a clarification to the media Feb. 9. “The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration (FDEA) define both Schedule I and Schedule II controlled substances as drugs that have a high potential for abuse and potential for psychological and/or physical dependence.

However, the FDA and the FDEA make no specific reference about the addiction potential between Schedule I and Schedule II controlled substances.

“My comment was unclear and I regret the confusion,” Little concluded.

Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy spoke on the campaign trail of legalizing recreational pot use. A bill sponsored by state senator Nicholas Scutari (D-22) would allow for the “taxing, controlling and legalizing marijuana like alcohol for adults.” The bill is currently in review for the 2018 session, but few politicians on either side of the state’s political aisle have expressed support for pot legalization.

For Medicinal Use No freeholder spoke against marijuana for medicinal use. Murphy signed an executive order Jan. 23 “directing the New Jersey Department of Health and the Board of Medical Examiners to review the state’s existing medical marijuana program. The goal of the review is to eliminate barriers to access for patients who suffer from illnesses that could be treated with medical marijuana,” press secretary Daniel Bryan wrote.

Prosecutor:

Continued From Page 1 reflect the prosecutor’s distinguished service to Ocean County,” Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said at the Feb. 7 freeholder meeting. “This board is requesting Gov. Murphy to consider Joe Coronato for reappointment as Ocean County Prosecutor.”

Coronato has a long career in law, stretching back 43 years. He’s served as the state’s deputy attorney general, assistant prosecutor in Atlantic County, and a private-practice attorney in Toms River. He was sworn in as Ocean County prosecutor March 22, 2013.

“It’s a privilege and honor to be the prosecutor. It’s really the best job,” Coronato said. “I’ve instituted programs—as hard as it is to believe five years have gone by as quickly as they have—and I’d like to finish out some of the programs I’ve instituted.

It’s not that easy to get them started, and it would be great to be reappointed and have another five years to finish out a lot of the work that I’ve done. So, the answer is if given the opportunity, I’d like to continue to serve, but that’s a little bit out of my hands.”

Although it’s been reported that his term ends in March—and it might—he will stay on until the governor appoints and senate approves either him or another candidate, however long that takes.

“He’s provided education to kids to avoid drugs…he’s done prosecutions and strict liability, the highest in the state in terms strict liability prosecutions. He’s tried to do whatever he can in terms of treatment,” prosecutor’s office public affairs director Al Della Fave said.

Strict liability can mean charging a dealer with the death of someone they

Heading toward Route 9 on Ridgeway/ Route 571 from Surf & Stream, the next property is the United Church of Christ, which would be unaffected. After that is the property that would also be considered for redevelopment. This property was historically a farm, although it is a single family home now, Councilman Sam Fusaro said.

This property is not owned by the same person who owns Surf & Stream. The properties are listed as Block 1, Lots 1, 3 and 4.

Crestwood Village Residents Club Soup Luncheon

WHITING – On March 14, the Residents Club will hold their annual Soup Luncheon from noon to 3 p.m. in Harmony Hall.

Ticket price is $6 and includes all the soup, salad, rolls, coffee, tea, soda/water and dessert you can eat until it’s all gone. Tickets will be on sale in the Harmony Hall Activity Room until March 9.

The Manchester Times, February 17, 2018, Page 5 sold drugs to.

The freeholders showed a united front (John Kelly was absent from the Feb. 7 meeting) in support for Coronato’s reappointment.

“When the governor changes, he changes everyone else, which is true. There’s no question about it,” Freeholder Joseph Vicari said. “Every several months I get a report from the medical examiner’s office, and every time I get it, I can’t believe what’s taking place in Ocean County.”

He said he came to Ocean County from North Jersey to escape the drug problems plaguing that area.

“Joe Coronato had done not only so much, and is respected by local law enforcement, he’s made a name for himself throughout the State of New Jersey,” Vicari said. “…Let’s put politics aside: who is the best person for the job?”

Freeholder John Bartlett Jr. called Coronato “passionate” and “proud” in his role as prosecutor. The county should have some say in who is prosecutor, he echoed Vicari, because the county does foot the office’s bills.

“We do pay the freight. Therefore, I think

it is altogether reasonable that we have a voice, and again, not only a voice because we’re paying for that office, our taxpayers, but that we are also responding to all of these organizations and groups which have asked and requested of the governor that this reappointment be made,” Bartlett added.

Freeholder Virginia Haines spoke last on her support of Coronato’s reappointment, focusing on his work to combat the opioid crisis destroying families across the state. “[Coronato] is recognized as the top prosecutor in the State of New Jersey,” Haines said. “There has been a reduction in the opioid deaths because of what he has done, and the one thing I think the governor needs to look at is to look at those statistics of what he has done. You have fellow prosecutors that call upon our prosecutor to go there and talk to them about what he has done, programs he has put in place to fight the opioid epidemic that is here.”

Ocean County saw 53 overdose deaths in 2012, the year before Coronato took office.

There were 112 reported overdose deaths the following year. During his tenure, such

deaths peaked in 2016 at 216, a number slashed to 163 in 2017. There have been seven reported overdose deaths thus far in 2018.

“Fentanyl became a factor in the end of 2015 into 2016. We believe that is why we saw the increase in the OD deaths for those two years,” Della Fave said. Nearly 70 percent of overdose deaths now involve fentanyl.

The same year overdose deaths peaked, OD reversals saw their highest numbers, with 502 reported. Ocean County was the first county in the state to equip its officers with Narcan, a nasal naloxone spray for emergency treatment of suspected opioid overdose.

In addition, Coronato’s office has many other firsts to combat opioid use: the emergency room overdose recovery program; Blue HART program, used by seven county police departments to assist drug users for recovery; pawn shop registry database, which tracks known users to stop them from selling goods to feed their habit; K-9s in school to assure Drug Free School Zones; and training for school nurses in how to use Narcan.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

E DITORIAL Murphy’s Law On Marijuana A new governor always brings in new changes. But none of them, it seems, has caused more discussion than Gov. Phil Murphy’s promise to legalize recreational marijuana.

Environmentalists focus on his commitment to the environment. Economists are scrutinizing his economic platform.

But everyone seems to have an opinion about his campaign promise to legalize.

Toms River, Berkeley, and Point Pleasant Beach have taken steps toward banning the use of recreational marijuana.

Officials in other towns, like Manchester, have mentioned it. South Toms

River would like to hear residents’ opinion before they make a decision.

Ban ning something that is already illegal is strange. I suppose we should be saying that the town “continues to outlaw” the use of recreational marijuana.

Even in a town where the drug is banned, the law’s language specif ically bans the recreational use, not the medicinal use.

All this will be nothing but talk if the state never legalizes it.

What are your thoughts on the matter? Make sure your politicians hear your voice.

Congress Should Repeal Limit On Therapy Strokes, surgeries, and trauma from falls or other injuries sometimes result in patients needing extensive care by physical, occupational or speech therapists.

Go Forth And Multiply This is in response to t he feat u red let ter i n T he Manchester Times on Feb. 3, 2018, about blaming the popes and church for over-populat ion i n t he world. T he Bible tells us about Abrah a m , t he fat he r of a l l religions. Abraham was promised that his descendants would number more than “the sands on the shore.” If God is comfortable with a multitude of peoples, then we have no right to obstruct His covenant, even today.

Statistics tell us that wo m e n h ave 2 .8 ch i l dren. The fraction is for women who cannot have children. Look around at your own family. What female has more than 2 or 3 children; it is only a very small percentage.

The author accuses the c h u r c h of a d vo c a t i n g i r responsible parenthood a nd cont r ibut i ng to poverty. Statistics also tell us that when people are freed from poverty, the birthrate drops signif icantly. The author’s accusations are preposterous.

Articles Needed I’m writing to urge this publ icat ion t o prov ide meaningful coverage of cli mate cha nge du r i ng the upcoming Congressional election i n NJ District 2. This election is impor tant because voters will choose a successor to our long-time Congressman Frank LoBiondo, who has chosen not to run.

Climate change is already impacti ng South Je r sey. A s a st at e, we have poured more than $1 billion and 120 million cubic yards of sand into beach replenishment projects alone. According to NOAA, high tides i n Atla nt ic Cit y re a ch more than a foot higher than they did last cent u r y. A t l e a s t 8 0 , 0 0 0 people and $47 billion of property value in South Jersey are at increased f lood risk due to climate c h a n g e .

Looking ahead, the impact to South Jersey will be even greater, as ocean levels are predicted to rise by another 3-6 feet by 2100.

There ARE bipartisan solutions to the climate crisis. But we need our elected off icials to act now, both to avoid worse climate problems and to make sure South Jersey h a s a r ole i n t h e n e w clean energy economy.

We need news organizations like The Southern O ce a n Time s a nd Je r seyShoreOnline.com to help cover this important

Mayor Kenneth T. Palmer Discusses Goals For 2018 From The Desk Of

The Mayor - By Manchester Mayor

Kenneth T. Palmer I hope this message fi nds each of you happy and healthy in the New Year.

With each turning of the calendar, I like to write dow n my goals for the coming year. This year, my goals for Manchester Township are to continue investing in and improving our aging infrastructure, finding ways to improve upon the services we provide our residents and explore ways to increase our tax base without imposing on our residents.

Infrastructure In each year, 2016 and 2017, the township saw approximately $1 million worth of street paving. The funds were from a combination of state DOT grants and from your local tax dollars. This coming year, we have been approved for additional state DOT grant monies to repave Green Acres Road in Holly Oaks.

We anticipate the paving to take place during the summer months. With your local tax dollars, we will pave several roads within the township in the worst condition. Consider ing

pavement lasts approximately 20-25 years, the plan is to systematically repave a portion of our roads each year to spread out the costs. We have started with the roads in the worst condition across town.

As most of you can see, the water tower refurbishing project is near completion.

The actual refurbishing and repainting to both the inside and outside of the tank is complete. When the weather allows, the contractor will complete the project by painting “Manchester Township” and the sunbeam emblem.

I would like to thank you for cooperating with the water restrictions while the tank was not operational.

Please note, refurbishing the water tower was the fi rst step in improving the east side of the township’s water system.

The next step is to develop and implement a plan to construct a second water tower. Our current ability to store water is limited to the current tower’s capacity of approximately one million gallons. During the summer months, when

the residents turn on their sprinklers, the one million gallons is quickly consumed. As such, the need for summertime watering restrictions will not be eliminated until we install a second water tower to increase our ability to store more water. In addition to planning for a new water tower, we will continue to rehabilitate our wells and pump stations on both sides of town.

In 2017, the Township Council and I were thrilled to complete the rehabilitation of the Sixth Avenue Park. Each time I ride by the park, I enjoy seeing kids of all ages playing basketball, having a tennis lesson or romping around the playground equipment.

While we cannot prevent all mischief, the security cameras were extremely useful in detecting the minor instances of vandalism that did occur. Our goal is to renovate and improve one park each year.

In 2018, we intend to refurbish Summit Park.

The plan is to install new playground equipment, resurface the basketball and tennis courts, put up new fencing and security cameras. Our hope is for the residents of Summit Park, families involved in LMSA and all other residents to be able to enjoy this park, as well. In 2019, we will set our sights on a park on the

Whiting side of town.

Services Each year, we try and find ways to improve the manner in which we provide services. This past fall season, Mother Nature threw us a curve ball with the abnormally warm temperatures.

As a result, the leaves on the trees did not fall when expected and our leaf vacuum service was affected. While our DPW employees did a great job in trying to double back to residences when the leaves did actually fall, we simply did not have enough time to get all the leaves before the first snow. Before the next fall, we will look to develop a plan to adjust our normal schedule and be able to advertise it better to you.

Another area I am always trying to improve is our means of conveying information. Recognizing not everyone can make the Township Council meetings, this calendar year I will continue to hold “Neighborhood Meetings” in each of our senior and non-senior communities. Last year, I conducted 25 meetings across town. I enjoy these meetings because I get to hear your concerns and inform our residents about what’s going on in town.

In 2017, we revamped the township webpage to make it more informative and user-friendly. We have also pushed out information on

NIXLE and Facebook, via Manchester Township’s page, Manchester Police’s page, Manchester Recreation’s page or the Mayor’s page. If you have not already signed up for any of these methods to receive information, please take a moment to do so.

Tax Base At 82 square miles, Manchester Township is a huge community. Despite our size, more than half of our land is environmentally protected by two regulatory agencies from ever being developed. As a result, finding locations to attract commercial development is a challenge.

One area that has potential for commercial development is along Route 37, from the Toms River border to the Lakehurst Circle.

This stretch of land is located within the jurisdiction of CAFRA, the state DEP’s regulatory authority. Per CAFRA’s regulations, in order for a developer to build on this stretch, the developer is only permitted to cover 30 percent of the property with an actual building and/ or parking lot and leave 70 percent of the proper ty uncovered. This regulation makes development in this stretch very burdensome and cost-prohibitive.

As a means to lessen the reg ulation, Manchester Township is seeking a Plan

Endorsement from CAFRA to designate this stretch a “Town Center.” Should the Plan Endorsement be accepted, the regulatory numbers are reversed. A developer can cover 70 percent of the property and leave 30 percent uncovered. The goal is to attract more commercial development as a way to broaden our tax base and relieve our residents of some tax obligations. To prepare the Plan Endorsement application and complete the review process with the State will likely take a year.

At a more local level, I intend to create The Mayor’s Business Advisory Committee this spring. The goal of the committee is to gather our local business owners and hear their suggestions about creating a more vibrant business environment in Manchester. My goal is to continue to grow and keep those businesses in town, and also attract new businesses. I have spoken with some business owners and received a good response.

If there is anyone in Manchester Township that would like to participate, please send me a letter of interest via email to KPalmer@ManchesterTwp.com or to my attention via regular mail to Manchester Town Hall, 1 Colonial Dr., Manchester, NJ 08759.

I am looking forward to a great 2018 and hope to speak with you soon.

2nd Annual Over/Under Handicap Doubles Tournament

TOMS RIVER – St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church of Whiting and Solar Source of Brick will host the second annual Over/Under Handicap Doubles Tournament on April 22, 2018 at 9:30 a.m. at Playdrome Lanes in Toms River.

A maximum of 36 doubles teams, consisting of one bowler over and one bowler under the age of 50 can compete. This is a USBC sanctioned event. Both bowlers must have an established average from one of the past two seasons or and established average from this season for 45 games as of April 1, 2018.

Participants will bowl a 5-game qualifying block with six teams advancing to a step-ladder format, one-game single elimination rolloff.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Walking Can Be A Real Balancing Act: Identifying And Managing Falls

Falls are prevalent, dangerous and costly. Every year, one-third to onehalf of the population age 65 and over experience falls. Falls are the leading cause of injury in older adults and the leading cause of death in those over age 85. Five percent of falls lead to a fracture. Falls can cause more than 200,000 hip fractures yearly. The cost of direct care for hip fracture patients alone is over $7 billion a year.

Are falls a normal part of aging? No. Current research indicates that elderly falls are different than their healthy, age-matched counterparts.

Can you predict who will fall and who won’t? No, not with certainty. But it is possible to identify many of the individual risk factors that contribute to falls. Contrary to popular belief, aging is not necessarily the culprit of imbalance, though it can be a factor. At any age, certain diseases, impairments or medications can adversely affect our ability to control our balance and lead to falls. The following are some

of those: Diseases and impairments which may contribute to falls include dizziness, head injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, diabetes, visual deficits and muscular injuries. Medications can also affect our ability to control our balance.

Blood pressure drugs, diuretics, anti-depressants, sedatives, tranquilizers and sleeping pills may contribute to your complaint of unsteadiness.

Can people who fall, or are at risk of falling, be helped? The good news is yes. Many risk factors are quite amenable to rehabilitative treatment.

The use of available sensory inputs can be enhanced, control of position and movement in space can be learned, limits of stability can be increased, ankle, hip and stepping strategies can be trained, range-of-motion, strength and endurance can be increased, etc. The risk factor that is reduced or eliminated reduces the risk for falls. Treatment plans should be based on individual problems identified by comprehensive evaluation.

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. Expanded Whiting Hours!

Cut Salt From Your Diet

NEW JERSEY – Prevention and treatment of high blood pressure can help lower your risk for heart disease and stroke, the number one and four killers of all Americans. The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association estimate that 33 percent of the U.S. adult population have high blood pressure, and nearly half (47 percent) of those with high blood pressure do not have it under control. One of the easiest ways to help prevent and manage high blood pressure is by reducing the amount of sodium that you consume each day.

The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association recommend consuming no more than 1,500 milligrams of sodium daily. On average, Americans consume about 3,400 milligrams of sodium per day–more than double the recommended amount.

The first step in lowering your sodium intake is to recognize the source of the salt. The majority of sodium found in American diets is linked back to processed and packaged foods. The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association have recognized six foods, called “The Salty Six,” that most people don’t realize are contributing to their

salt habit. The Salty Six are breads and rolls, cold cuts and cured meats, pizza, poultry, soups and sandwiches. The American Heart Association notes that by taking control of your diet, you can help prevent and manage high blood pressure, therefore lowering your risk for heart disease and stroke.

Excess sodium affects not only your heart health, but your physical appearance as well.

Consuming too much sodium can lead to bloating in your face and body. You can change your salty ways in just three weeks by following these simple steps: Week one: Look for lower sodium breads and cold cuts. Track your consumption of sodium and see how much you can shake from your diet.

Week two: Order pizza with less cheese and meats and add lots of veggies as toppings.

When eating chicken, aim for fresh boneless and skinless pieces instead of fried or canned.

Week three: Check labels on canned soup and grab the lower-sodium varieties. When making sandwiches, look for low-sodium cold cuts and condiments and add lots of fresh veggies.

Biotin And Probiotics Increase Thyroid Hormone

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

There was a medical conference held in San Diego California recently and a physician presented a case study about a woman who took a large amount of B vitamin called biotin. I’m sure you’ve heard of it, it’s the B vitamin that everyone takes to try to get thick hair and strong nails.

Anyway, the 55 year old woman’s level of thyroid hormone spiked so high she experienced thyrotoxicosis (extremely high levels of thyroid hormone), yet she had no history of Graves’ disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or thyroid disease of any sort.

The problem arose from the woman taking a high dose of biotin which she was using for multiple sclerosis (MS). Biotin is found naturally in meats, fish, beans, egg yolks and nuts. If you’re deficient, you might look older than you should, your cuts don’t heal as fast, your heart rhythm might be irregular, your hair might be falling out and you’re probably exhausted.

She was diagnosed with pseudohyperthyroidism because her thyroid levels went up, but she did not exhibit classic symptoms of elevated thyroid. She was on other medications as well. Her doctors stopped the high-dose biotin supplements for three days and retested her thyroid levels and they got closer to normal.

Could this be a coincidence? Doctors wondered that too, so they re-challenged her with high-dose biotin and sure enough, the TSH and Free T4 levels changed, but then normalized again (after stopping biotin).

Biotin would not increase utilization of thyroid hormone, or cellular entry. It would only crank up levels of T4 hormone (which is inactive), it would not increase levels of T3 (the active form), nor would it it drive the thyroid hormone into the cell, which explains why she had high levels in her blood, but did not have associated hyperthyroid symptoms, hence pseudohyperthyroidism, as opposed to hyperthyroidism. If this doesn’t make sense, refer to my book Thyroid Healthy: Lose Weight, Look Beautiful and Live the Life You Imagine.

One more reason biotin causes apparent ‘hyperthyroidism’ activity may be due to interference with lab assays. Regardless of how or why…physicians should be informed that it can happen so they can distinguish between this phenomenon versus a true endocrine thyroid disorder.

Patients should be aware as well. After all, you want to be diagnosed properly and not pinned with a disorder you don’t really have. You also don’t want your medication altered unnecessarily.

If you take a biotin supplement in high doses, stop it 3 to 5 days before you go in for your test so it doesn’t throw off your test results and make it look like you have high levels of thyroid (when you are clinically hypothyroid or normal). If you would like to read more details, I’ve written a more comprehensive version of this article, and it can be emailed to you after you sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

Hearing:

Continued From Page 1 The DEP was not making a decision at the hearing, just receiving input.

Marilyn Miller, from Toms River, was the first person called up to speak. She told the DEP how she had lost a friend in a collision on Route 70. The development would cause more traffic on this road.

“Route 70 is a killer,” she said. “This area does not need more vehicles on this road.

This is a mega city that is being proposed.”

While this was technically a DEP hearing about how the development would impact the wetlands on the site, residents sounded off about the impact to the school system, overtaxed hospitals, volunteer squads and the police department. They also questioned what kind of businesses would go into the 40,000 square feet of commercial, when there are empty storefronts already existing.

Leisure Village West resident Adele Shulman asked why the town had to go through more hearings.

“It’s the same property. The same contamination. Has it ever been cleaned up?”

The Manchester Times, February 17, 2018, Page 21 she asked.

Manchester will sometimes have water restrictions in summer months when the homes are drawing a lot of water. She wondered what 4,000 more homes would do to this situation.

“I’ve been an activist for 45 years, longer than some of you have been alive” resident Laurie Errington said. She compared it to the contamination wrought by Ciba-Geigy in Toms River. “If I have 10 years left, I will fight it for 10 years.”

Peggy Middaugh, of Manchester, said that these tributaries on the property feed the Barnegat Bay. Runoff from the impervious coverage of the development would pollute the already precarious bay.

Barbara Steele, former public affairs director for Ocean County, lives in Manchester and said people moved there to get away from it all. They don’t want a big development.

She also stated that the way these developments go, is that they ask for 4,000 units, and then settle for 3,000, which is still a win for them.

It was not clear if anyone from Hovsons was attending, but several environmental

groups were represented. Taylor McFarland of the Sierra Club had a prepared statement.

Willie deCamp Jr. and Britta Wenzel of Save Barnegat Bay also spoke. Members of the governing body were in attendance.

“Developments like this defi ne water quality. They defi ne whether it’s getting better or worse,” deCamp said. “Barnegat Bay’s dramatic decline has been because of developments like this.”

He said that Gov. Phil Murphy will hopefully set a different tone when it comes to development and saving open space than his predecessor.

DeCamp said that it is a democracy issue, showing how many people were opposed to it.

There was at least one person in atten-

dance that was for the development. Resident Glen Ward said he raised his family in Manchester, and would like his children to raise their own families in Manchester.

“They can’t buy in the senior communities,” he said. There needs to be a place for them to buy homes and continue to live in the town that they love.

“Fifty years ago, people would be here saying ‘don’t build Leisure Village,’” he said.

Comments Still Accepted The DEP is still accepting written comments by Feb. 23. They could be sent to Lindsey.Davis@dep.nj.gov or to NJDEP, Division of Land Use Regulation, P.O. Box 420, Code 501-02A, Trenton, NJ.

Inside The Law Why A Survey Is Essential For Successful Closing?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates During the process of purchasing a home, many buyers are concerned with the bottom line and look for ways to cut costs. One of the first items they may choose to forego to save money is to opt out of ordering a survey. This article is intended to provide information which will assist the purchaser in making a well informed decision whether to obtain or forego a survey.

Many purchasers are not aware of all the various important components that a survey can disclose. A survey is not just a simple drawing showing boundary lines and location of the dwelling, but it also delineates right of ways, easements, encroachments, and/or gaps between property lines. The survey can also confirm the location of a water way, an existing improvement and determine whether all the structures on the property you are looking to purchase are within the property boundary lines such as sheds, pools, retaining walls and fences. Perhaps the most important pieces of information a survey will provide are the property’s zoning classification, dimension and size, which will allow you to determine if the property conforms to the local lot size requirements.

Once the survey is obtained your attorney will forward it to the title company, who will also research the information contained therein. If the survey accurately shows that there are no property line encroachments then the title company will not require any exceptions in its policy, which will allow the title company to provide coverage and defend against anyone who, in the future, challenges the accuracy of the property lines. If you do

not have an accurate Marc S. Galella Esq. and current survey prior to closing then any disputes, whether it is with the seller, a neighbor or a governmental agency, as to the location of a fence, shed, or any larger structure such as a pool, deck or an addition will become yours to resolve. These disputes can be costly and you possibly may be precluded from seeking recourse from the previous owner.

The basic survey cost is around $650800 and of course the cost may be more if the property is very large or has irregular shape. If you chose to have metal stakes installed at the corners then that may increase the cost of the survey. These markers are important for those homeowners who, after making the purchase, want to install a fence, pool, shed, or an addition to the dwelling.

The purchase of a home or lot may be overwhelming but the attorneys at R.C. Shea and Associates can assist you through that process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Finding Love

Dear Joel, A client of mine told me she wants to try online dating. I kinda shrugged it off but I’m leery about the whole thing. What do you think about online dating? Don’t you think just putting the word out to your friends is a safer way to go?

ANSWER: I was personally introduced to my wife and have been lucky to have been married for my entire adult life. Times have changed though and the internet has made some good matches, but I would use it with caution. There are a lot of terrific people with busy lives looking online for their

par tners, so choose a reputable dating site and move slowly. Make sure the person shares your standards and integrity. Good luck to everyone looking for love, especially this Valentine season. Be sure to tell me how things work out.

Understanding Meniscal Tears: How Can Physical Therapy Help You? By: Kimberly Lotito, PTA, Manchester Location

ANATOMY AND FUNCTION OF THE MENISCUS: Within the knee, there are two C-shaped cartilage structures called the medial and the lateral meniscus, which lie on the top of the bone of the lower leg called the tibia. This cartilage provides many aspects of knee function such as cushioning, stability, shock absorption, load transmission, nutrition, lubrication and joint stress reduction. If the medial or lateral meniscus are torn, the knee would lose that support and protection, causing changes within the joint space and on the bony surfaces, eventually leading to possible knee osteoarthritis (OA).

HOW CAN A TEAR OCCUR? A tear in the medial or lateral meniscus can occur by either sudden trauma or gradual degeneration.

Traumatic meniscus injuries usually occur when the foot is planted on the ground while the knee is bent, rotated, and compressed all at once. This type of injury to the meniscus is more common to occur in a younger population. Degenerative tears tend to occur in individuals older than 40 years of age. If the cartilage has weakened or worn thin over time, the meniscus can be injured very easily. All it takes is an awkward twist of the knee by any type of insignificant activity such as squatting, getting out of a car or up from a chair, and results in pain, swelling and locking of the knee.

RISK FACTORS FOR DEGENERATIVE TEARS: • Age (> 60 years of age) • Gender (male) • Work-related kneeling, squatting and climbing stairs (> 30 flights)

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF MENISCAL TEARS: If you have a history of some sort of twisting injury, followed by pain, swelling, locking or catching, you

could possibly have a torn meniscus. You may also have pain along the joint line with forced hyperextension (straightening the knee fully) or maximum flexion (bending the knee fully). One of the main symptoms that would stand out as a possible meniscal tear involve locking and/ or catching. You may also experience increased pain with weight-bearing activities such as walking or standing, or experience your leg “giving way”, causing safety problems.

WHAT DO I DO IF I THINK I HAVE A MENISCAL TEAR? If you suspect you have a tear in the meniscus of your knee, it is encouraged to see your primary physician or an orthopaedic doctor. The doctor will then perform a manual test to see if there is a possible tear. One of the manual tests done is the McMurray test where the doctor will bend the knee, then straighten and rotate it, putting tension on the torn meniscus, and eliciting a clicking sound or sensation. To confirm the diagnosis, the doctor may request diagnostic testing, including an X-ray and/or MRI. Depending on the extent of the injury to the meniscus, as well as the location of the tear, recovery could include either surgery or a non-operative approach, which includes physical therapy. Types of surgeries involving the meniscus include total meniscectomy, partial meniscectomy, and meniscal repair or transplant. In the U.S., arthroscopic partial meniscectomy after meniscal tear is the most frequent orthopaedic surgical procedure.

HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP A MENISCAL TEAR? At your first visit, your physical therapist will perform an Initial Evaluation to determine an appropriate treatment plan, addressing your symptoms, to help you return to your prior level of function. At the beginning stages of your injury, you may experience swelling and pain, which your physical therapist can help ease with use of modalities, including ice, electric stimulation and ultrasound, as well as manual therapy techniques such as retrograde massage, passive range of motion and light stretching. After acute symptoms have subsided, the physical therapist will prescribe the appropriate therapeutic exercises to improve strength and endurance in isolated muscle groups, progressing you towards a safe return to performing functional activities, including driving, walking and stair negotiation, as well as recreational and work-related activities.

CAN I RECEIVE PHYSICAL THERAPY AFTER SURGERY?

The answer is Yes! If deemed appropriate for your recovery, your surgeon will recommend to start physical therapy along with protocol guidelines to follow as your knee heals week to week. Your physical therapist will guide you through the appropriate steps of each recovery phase, with the use of therapeutic exercise, modalities, manual therapy techniques and a home exercise program, including any precautions or specific care instructions after your surgery.

At All-Care Physical Therapy, we specialize in the treatment of meniscal tears and post-operative meniscal recovery. Our skilled physical therapist will develop an individualized treatment plan, specific to your injury, in order to make your recovery as comfortable and painfree as possible. To schedule an appointment at our Manchester facility, please call 732-657-7900.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of february 17 - february 23

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You might prefer to be a trail blazer and doer of daring deeds but in the week ahead you are more likely to earn disapproval for your efforts. Maintain a low profile and steer clear of disputes.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Speak calmly and clearly and then people will listen to what you say. During the week ahead you can improve your reputation and engender good will by encouraging teamwork.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t hide the truth or obscure the facts. Overcome obstacles and objections by holding honest discussions. Emphasize the mutual benefits rather than pointing out the weaknesses this week.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You might take pride in good heart-keeping rather than good housekeeping in the week ahead. Put your best efforts into mending fences and head off misunderstandings in advance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t fall prey to wishful thinking as this week unfolds.

Don’t ignore the people who support and appreciate you even if you think you can do better elsewhere. Be romantic, not gullible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your artistic and creative side might begin to bloom during the week ahead. Your job might entail some handicrafts or using your imagination.

Learn to do something that is inspiring.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Friends and co-workers can be a great resource for financial advice in the week ahead. Make purchases that require good taste in the next two days. Avoid disagreements later in the week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The upcoming week provides numerous opportunities to be creative or create lasting relationships. Make major purchases and sign agreements as early in the week as possible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Use every opportunity to clear the air and put relationships on track in the first part of the week. By the end of the week people may easily misunderstand your motives or intentions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be honest with yourself as well as others in the week to come. Don’t beat around the bush or cover up financial expenditures. Make key decisions as soon as possible or next week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sweet dreams are made of this. You may become more romantic and preoccupied by your inner fantasies as this week unfolds. Use your imagination when purchasing tasteful household decor.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Embrace what is offered. Someone could offer you an incentive to begin a new study, to join a team sports program or to travel early this week.

Every opportunity contains a hidden benefit.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen That’s Amore: Plan Ahead To Treat Your Sweetheart To The Sweet Taste Of Italy

By Wolfgang Puck CHOCOLATE TARTUFO Makes 5 to 10 servings 9 ounces (255 g) bittersweet chocolate 2 large egg yolks 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar 1/2 cup (125 mL) water 1 cup (250 mL) heavy cream 2 tablespoons Chambord or other raspberry liqueur, or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Raspberry compote (recipe follows) Cut 6 ounces (170 g) of the chocolate into small chunks. Put the chunks in a medium heatproof bowl and set over a pan of simmering water; when the chocolate is almost melted, remove the pan from the heat, stir the chocolate, and leave it to continue melting. Keep warm.

Over another bowl, grate the remaining chocolate. Set aside at cool room temperature.

In the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a wire whip or beaters, whip the egg yolks until thick. Alternatively, put the yolks in a large heatproof mixing bowl and beat them with a hand-held electric mixer.

Meanwhile, clip a candy thermometer to the side of a small saucepan, Put the sugar and water in the pan and, over high heat, bring the sugar and water to a boil, watching carefully, until the mixture reaches 230 F to 234 F (110 C to 112 C). Large, shiny bubbles will form and the syrup will thicken.

Instantly remove the syrup from the heat and, with the mixer running at the lowest speed, carefully pour the syrup into the yolks.

(Be careful to avoid pouring the syrup directly onto the beaters or the sides of the bowl.) Once all the syrup is poured, increase the speed to medium and continue beating until the mixture is cooled

and very thick. Scrape in the melted chocolate and beat until incorporated, forming a stiff mixture.

Still beating at medium to high speed, gradually pour in the cream until smoothly incorporated, stopping as needed to scrape down the sides of the bowl and under the beaters with a rubber spatula.

Beat in the Chambord or vanilla.

Pour the mixture into a medium bowl, cover, and freeze just until solid enough to shape, 3 to 4 hours. Line a tray with waxed paper.

To form the tartufos, use a pair of tablespoons, scooping up the mixture generously with one and shaping it with the other to create a smooth oval larger than an egg. Dip the spoons occasionally into warm water to make it easier to scoop.

As each oval is formed, roll it in the grated chocolate to coat completely; then, transfer to a freezer-proof tray lined with parchment paper or foil. (If the remaining mixture softens too much, return it to the freezer and then continue shaping when it’s firm enough.)

Loosely cover the tartufos and free until just before serving time.

To serve, spoon some raspberry compote atop individual chilled dessert plates and place two tartufos on each plate. Serve immediately.

RASPBERRY COMPOTE Makes about 2 cups (500 mL) 4 pints (2 L) fresh or frozen raspberries 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar Grated zest of 1 medium lemon In a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine the berries, sugar and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat until the berries exude their juices. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes.

Remove from the heat, let cool to room temperature, and refrigerate in an airtight nonreactive container until needed, up to one week.
