By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – Every year, members of the local Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10061 present awards to students and teachers in the Manchester Township School District. This year was no exception, as they made their presentations at the most recent Board of Education meeting.

Student Awards The Patriot’s Pen essay contest uses history as inspiration. Children were asked to write a 300- to 400-word essay with the theme “America’s Gift To My Generation.”

The winners were Emma Stone, 8 th grade, John Krawchuk, 7 th grade, and Genesis Salquero, 6th grade. John and Genesis also moved up to be district representatives for Ocean County.

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – Does an antiquated name keep people from participating in the political process?

Some Trenton politicians believe so and want a change that they say aligns with 21st Century sensibilities.

Republican Senator and Whip Joe Pennacchio (R-26) sponsored bill S402 that will change “freeholder” to “county commissioner,” and “board of chosen freeholders” to “board of county commissioners.”

While the original language allowed counties to decide –Photo by Jennifer Peacock whether to change their names, a senate substitute – if passed – would require the name change. It’s a change Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr. wants to keep the (Freeholder - See Page 5) name “freeholder,” not change it to “commissioner.”

Victim:

Continued From Page 1 different location about 30 minutes later, but it was too late.

Corey’s father, Paul, wanted people to be able to call for help without fear of prosecution. He wanted those overdosing to have a chance to live and get help. Paul Ressler created The Overdose Prevention Agency Corporation in Hamilton.

His group, with others, worked tirelessly to get the Overdose Protection Act passed. The law, passed in 2013, protects callers reporting an overdose from arrest and prosecution.

TOPAC’s focus now is naloxone training, which is often the first step in saving the life of someone who has overdosed on an opioid.

Heidi Modjeski, TOPAC’s director of community outreach and training development, spoke on the signs of an opioid overdose and how to properly administer naloxone - the generic name for Narcan - at a recent training session at Ocean County College.

“Our goal is to train individuals how to use (naloxone), so we can help the people so they can get the help they need to get into recovery,” Modjeski said.

It’s important to first understand how opioids attack the body. The opioids bind to opioid receptors in cells throughout the body, especially those that affect sleeping and breathing.

Basically, the opioid tells the brain “You don’t have to breathe.” Those who have overdosed are nonresponsive to shouts or aggressive touch. Their lips and fingertips are blue, their breathing labored like a death rattle, their pupils a pinpoint. The heartbeat is faint.

The most important thing to do for someone is call 911. The caller must stress that the person isn’t breathing, that it’s a possible overdose.

While many users ingest a cocktail of drugs, naloxone will only reverse the overdose of opioids, which emergency workers say is positive. The naloxone tells the body it’s not high anymore, but only for about 30 minutes.

(And if it ends up they aren’t overdosing on an opioid, the naloxone will do no harm. It’s safe to use on pregnant women, too.)

“The person who is going to wake up from this, they could be extremely angry, there could be violence, they could be very groggy. They might not know where they are at,” Modjeski said. “And then the worst thing is, they might immediately want to get high again. They’ve likely not felt so sober in a long time.”

A person can relapse into an overdose once the naloxone wears off. It is okay to administer another dose, Modjeski said. They cannot overdose on naloxone. It’s important to keep the person breathing while waiting for emergency teams to arrive.

There are several ways to deliver naloxone, but the most popular are nasal sprays, which are now available over the counter at popular drug store chains, or auto injector, which does require a prescription. And while it may seem like common sense to store the drug in a glove compartment of a vehicle, naloxone does go bad and must be stored at room temperature, around 70 degrees.

So what should someone do if a friend or loved one appears to have overdosed on an opioid? You should first try to rouse them,

first by shouting their name, then rubbing your knuckles on their breastbone or nose tip. If the person remains unresponsive, call 911. Roll the person on their side and clear their mouth. Roll them on their back, arch their neck, pinch their nose, and give two big breaths of air into their mouth. Administer the Narcan, and give one big breath every five to seven seconds if necessary.

Most naloxone nasal sprays available are administered in one nostril. Auto injectors are administered in the upper thigh.

And Modjeski’s biggest piece of advice to those helping the overdose victim: don’t touch any bags laying around. A little boy in South Jersey died recently when he touched a bag containing fentanyl, which can be absorbed through the skin and is lethal in small doses.

The boy overdosed and died immediately.

Even healthcare workers double up on gloves when handling fentanyl. Wait for the –Photos by Jennifer Peacock (Top) Evzio is a name-brand naloxone auto injector that speaks the administering instructions when activated. The small window in its middle shows the drug, which should be clear. A milky liquid means the naloxone has expired and isn’t usable. (Right) The Narcan nasal spray is administered by placing the nozzle into one nostril.

It’s important to not pump or prime the spray before using, as it wastes the naloxone and then may not be a big enough dosage to revive someone who is overdosing.

that not only d istracts from what reallyails the state, bu t buckles to P C warriors who want to deny and d ismantle history, Ocean Countyofficials said.

“This is the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders. It has been since 1850,” freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr. said. “…It pains me to think the state senate has before it a bill which would change the name of all board of chosen freeholders in New Jersey to ‘board of commissioners.’ I don’t know of a nice way to say this, and I’m not going to try: I can’t think of a more stupid idea.”

What is a freeholder?

In modern parlance, a freeholder is an elected member to the board of chosen freeholders, the body that runs each of New Jersey’s 21 counties. The body can have between three and nine freeholders. The term is unique to New Jersey county government, and comes from the state’s 1776 constitution: “That all inhabitants of this Colony, of full age, who are worth fifty pounds proclamation money, clear estate in the same, and have resided within the county in which they claim a vote for twelve months immediately preceding the election, shall be entitled to vote for Representatives in Council and Assembly; and also for all other public officers, that shall be elected by the people of the county at large.”

The term describes a property-owning male free of debt, and not many people in New Jersey know what a freeholder is, Pennacchio said in a March 26 press release.

“Commissioner” is more recognizable and The General’s

–Photo by Jennifer Peacock Freeholder Gerry P. Little said Trenton has more pressing problems than changing “freeholder” to “commissioner.”

Haines agreed with her fellow freeholders’ assessments in an April 23 email to Jersey Shore Online.

“I am against changing the title of freeholder to commissioner. I feel Senator Pennacchio is changing history, the state has many other issues of more importance to handle, than changing the name of county officials,” Haines said. “…When I travel to other states and tell them I am a freeholder I explain it is the term which was given to individuals who run the government on a county level. I have never had anyone say anything negative about the term freeholder. Once I explain the term they just simply say ‘Oh, ok.’ We were the third state to become a state and New Jersey chose to keep the term which has been our history.”

like and wants to wipe out that history. You don’t throw away the past.

“It seems to me we are in a frenzy in this country right now to tear down statues, to tear down monuments, to tear down things that perhaps have pieces of them that might not be appropriate today, but were appropriate in their own term and time,” Bartlett said. He has served as freeholder for 38 years, the longest to date in the state. “But to suggest that the office of freeholder, that the term freeholder… is in some way sexist, or is in some way racist, is downright insulting.”

2017 saw a rash of statues and memorials removed of Confederate leaders, including Confederate General Robert E. Lee in several states.

Should the bill become law, all county letterheads, stationary, “all other writings,” and websites would have to show the name change on Jan. 1, 2019. Signs that would require “the expenditure of county funds” to change can be updated “upon the next update or replacement made in the ordinary course of business.”

“New Jersey has a lot of problems. We have a pension system that they say is bankrupt. Our state has had 11 or 12 bond rating declines.

Education funding is a mess…Our higher education, they’re underfunding that, they don’t fund vocational schools. Our roads and bridges around the state are falling apart, except here in our county system and other county systems,” Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said. “The state is wasting time on doing something which is totally superfluous, will not address the real issues. It refocuses attention from the real issues on something that’s irrelevant.”

inoffensive term.

Currently, Virginia Haines is the only female freeholder serving on the county’s five-member board. In Monmouth County, Deputy Director Lillian G. Burry is the only female on its five-member board. Burlington County also has five members, two of whom are women and one, Kate Gibbs, is director.

In Atlantic County, its nine-member board has four women.

“New Jersey stands alone while other states have changed the position of freeholder to a commissioner, modernizes the position,” said Pennacchio. “When you have a title, which refers to men ‘free and clear,’ you ultimately discourage individuals from participating in critical local government positions.”

But Ocean County itself already had 12 commissions, “all of which have commissioners,” Bartlett said. There are more than 100 commissioners in the county. Some municipalities in Ocean County - Long Beach Township and Beach Haven, for example - have a commissioner form of government. And Freeholder Ginny Haines was commissioner of the New Jersey State Lottery. The governor’s cabinet are commissioners.

“The term is one of the most overused terms in American governance today,” Bartlett added. “…The state is rife with commissions and commissioners.

“At least if you’re going to come up with a new name, come up with something that makes some sense,” Bartlett said.

New Jersey, being one of the 13 original colonies, should be proud of its colonial heritage, Bartlett said. The state legislature is saying there are parts of the state’s history it doesn’t

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Celebrate National Volunteer Month All Year Long As National Volunteer Month comes to a close, it is important that we continue to celebrate the work of local volunteers and promote the importance of volunteer service in our communities throughout the year.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth & Middlesex Counties is a volunteer-driven organization with over 700 mentors dedicating themselves as role models to children in our program. Our volunteer mentors, also known as “Bigs,” encourage children to thrive and succeed in their everyday lives by providing individualized attention and guidance that every child needs.

BBBSMMC would not be where it is today without our volunteers and I thank them for their commitment.

BBBSMMC provides 1-to-1 mentoring for youth ages 6-18, also known as “Littles” in the program, through our Community, School, and Beyond School Walls Programs. By placing children in a quality mentoring relationship, we provide them with the tools they need to be competent, confident, and caring members of their community.

Each time we pair a child with a Big Brother or Big Sister, a new relationship is formed that will be built on trust and a new friendship will blossom into a future

of unlimited potential.

Currently, we have over 60 children who are waiting to be matched with their own Big Brother or Big Sister. In as little as 4-6 hours per month, you can mentor a child and empower them to become a strong young adult capable of reaching their life’s goals. Our Littles often continue on to become leaders in their own right, elevating other individuals around them.

While the BBBS mentorship program does not last forever, the relationship you foster with your Little can last a lifetime. Giving these children good role models teaches them to explore beyond their comfort zone while knowing that there will always be someone there to support them.

National Volunteer Month does not have to be limited to April alone. You can live the ideals and values that this month carries by becoming a Big for BBBSMMC. Being a mentor is an enriching experience that touches many lives beyond your own. Give your time and apply to be a Big by at bbbsmmc.org/apply-now.

The life you change just might be your own.

Letters To The Editor Wage Gap Must Be Closed Something needs to be done about i ncome i nequality. It is not right that CEOs walk away with incomes 300 times higher than the average worker.

Yes, some CEOs work hard. Three hundred times harder than the average employee though? That’s doubtf ul. T he g rowi ng wage gap is dist urbing and truly a human rights violation.

I urge Tom MacArthur to introduce legislation to combat income inequality.

Women and men should be paid equal wages. Minor it ie s shou ld not be further marginalized and disadvantaged. The United States is the wealthiest nation on earth, yet the top 1 percent has received the vast majority of wages increased due to productivity.

Tech nolog y is not to blame. Humans are. The system is set up so that those i n power st ay i n power. Wages have been stagnant for four decades now. Minimum wage used to be able to sustain a single individual, now it is impossible to live off of minimum wage. No one should work for t y plus hours a week and live in poverty.

The Art Of The Deal In North Korea When Donald Trump took office, he mentioned from the beginning that it would be great if the potential nuclear threat from North Korea can be “dealt with.”

Most everyone including all political types, historians, news junkies, and me felt it was a 1,000 to one longshot that President Trump can be successful.

It has been historically impossible to make a deal that sticks with North Ko-

Letters The Editor rea. It was thoughtTo they throughout my lifetime. my medical bills continue talk and delay and talk and delay, etc.

President Trump, our new posit ive th i n k i ng, deal making, optimist has been making friends with worldwide powers, looking at leverage among all the countries, and looking for a chance to approach North Korea and open a line of communication.

In the meantime, he kept increasing the sanctions on North Korea in many areas.

A deal to have North Korea stop trying to be a nuclear power will be hard to make, and will have to include a lot of specifics about “inspection” to document North Korea’s activities.

It does seem that President Trump’s hard work is paying off a little bit, and North Korea and President Trump will soon chat about “denuclearization,” whatever that means.

I think the odds of making a deal have been lowered from 1000 to one to 15 to one. Let us stand behind President Trump and hope he can keep lowering the odds, with the sanctions doing their job, and many countries helping by exerting international pressure for the fi rst time.

Save Pre-existing Conditions In Health Care As with most people, I have serious concerns about my Congressman Tom MacArthur as it relates to health care. Especially because as the author of the “MacArthur Amendment” he worked to weaken provisions in the Affordable Care Act for people with pre-existing conditions. That’s because of Marfan Syndrome, a pre-existing condition I have had since birth that has required constant care

I am only alive today because of the exceptional care I’ve been given to address a myriad of related problems as a result of this condition, most notably, due to the effect on my heart.

Recently, I attended a vigil at my Congressman’s office. That’s because it was Tax Day - and we are being asked to pay the price for the huge permanent tax breaks that Congress enacted to aid corporations and wealthy campaign donors while they shor tchange our future. Representative MacArthur was the only New Jersey Congressman to support the tax legislation. It will increase the budget deficit, which results in cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and other important priorities. Congress is already proposing cuts to food assistance, Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.

In 2010, I had my first life-saving open heart surgery that, at 46, left me unable to work and began a 10-year odyssey of trying to regain my health and some semblance of the life I had prior. Not seven months later, the prosthetic valve replacement thrombosed and yet again, because of an accurate and quick diagnosis at Jersey Shore followed by emergency open heart surgery at N Y Presby ter ian by some of the best physicians and surgeons in the field, I survived.

While I was fortunate to be taken care of under my husband’s insurance he has through work, I was unable to return to work on my own and filed for disability.

One of the greatest benefits of this was receiving Medicare coverage which has been a godsend over the last seven - eight years as

to mount with additional related (and non-related) surgeries and treatments.

Since my second open heart surgery, I have been hospitalized nine different times, including two eye surgeries, a hysterectomy, breast cancer, wound care, and on dialysis for acute kidney failure. This does not include any of the supportive or follow-up care I’ve required as a result - visiting nurses, physical therapy - or medications which we pay out of pocket.

Medicare has provided the gap that has helped us make it through by picking up where my husband’s coverage ends. It has literally saved us thousands of dollars in co-pays and extending benefits when we have exhausted what we are entitled to through his plan.

This has been especially important as the premium he pays for coverage rises exponentially every year, our share being close to $600 a month out of pocket, getting us to a point where we really wonder if it can be considered “employee sponsored health insurance” anymore.

It’s too expensive to be sick or infi rm in America, yet we have the greatest access to healthcare technology and innovation the world has ever k now n.

I’m alive today because of it and Medicare over the last seven years has made it possible for me to have access to it. Instead of making cuts to programs we depend on, we should make sure the rich and corporations pay their fair share of taxes so we can look out for one each other when disaster strikes, because it can strike any of us, at any time.

STOP Offshore Oil And Gas Act Effectively Halts Drilling From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith P OI N T PL E A SA N T BEACH – Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th), dean of the New Jersey Congressional delegation, delivered excer pts of the following remarks at Point Pleasant Beach at the sign-

ing of the STOP Offshore Oil and Gas Act by New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy: “Special thanks to Governor Murphy for his invitation to join him as he signs this extraordinarily important legislation to ban

oil and gas exploration, development and production in State waters - that is to say, within three nautical miles from our coastline.

“By prohibiti ng ‘any pipeline or other infrastructure that transports oil or natural gas from production facilities located in federal waters or other coastal state waters in the Atlantic Ocean through New Jersey State waters, and any land-based support facilities…’ the STOP Offshore Oil and Gas Act

makes drilling now or into the future nearly impossible.

“Why is all of this important? Opening the waters off the coast of New Jersey to oil and gas exploration, development and production poses catastrophic risks to our 127mile shoreline, tourism, marine habitat, plant life and fishing.

“Seldom has any issue united the people of New Jersey, the congressional delegation, the State Leg-

islature and local public officials as our opposition to offshore oil and gas drilling.

“The biggest takeaways from a meeting a group of us had with Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke on Febr uar y 27th was that the dearth of oil or gas reserves off our coast and the lack of existing shoreline infrastructure including pipelines meant we weren’t likely to be on the fi nal list.

But ‘likely’ doesn’t mean we’re in the clear. Signifi-

cantly, as of today, any shoreline infrastructure designed to enable oil or gas development is comprehensively prohibited by state law.

“Let’s not forget that the last three presidents - Bush, Obama and now Trump - have all initially proposed offshore drilling off our coast.

“The legislation the governor just signed is our best insurance policy to ensure that doesn’t happen now –or ever.”

Tackling Opioid Addiction Starts With How You Treat Pain Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez

Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker

PATERSON, N.J. – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez, a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee that sets national health policy, joined Sen. Cory Booker and Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. at St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Paterson to discuss bipartisan, bicameral legislation the lawmakers introduced to help boost hospitals’ resources in the fight against opioid addiction.

“The ALTO program here at St. Joe’s is at the forefront of innovative thinking and new approaches to treating pain - to fighting opioid addiction,” said Sen. Menendez. “This creative thinking and willingness to approach health care delivery in new ways is critical to moving our health care system forward, tackling the scourge

of addiction, and saving lives. We want to see every hospital and provider across New Jersey and across this nation follow St. Joe’s lead, and our bill provides the necessary federal resources to help make it possible.”

The Alternatives to Opioids (ALTO) in the Emergency Depar t ment Act would establish a national demonstration program, based on the successful program implemented at St. Joseph’s Medical Center in 2016, to test alternative pain management protocols to limit the use of opioids in hospital emergency departments nationwide.

Language from the bill is included in a legislative package scheduled for committee markup in the Senate.

Sens. Menendez and Book-

er and Rep. Pascrell were joined by health professionals, advocates, and individuals impacted by the opioid epidemic at a news conference outside the emergency department.

The lawmakers convened a statewide summit in 2016 at St. Joe’s - which had just launched its ALTO program - to explore solutions to the heroin and opioid addiction epidemic gripping New Jersey and the nation. In just two years since implementing ALTO, St. Joe’s has successfully reduced opioid prescriptions in their emergency room by 82%.

Recently, Sen. Menendez toured a recovery center in Elizabeth, where he met with experts and individuals in recovery, and announced a budget agreement he suppor ted that provided an additional $6 billion to fund the national fight against the opioid crisis. The senator is also an original cosponsor of the Combating the Opioid Epidemic Act, which would authorize $45 billion over ten years for opioid abuse treatment, prevention, detection, and surveillance programs.

Sen. Menendez cosponsored the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA), signed into law in 2016, which pro-

vides resources to states to expand disposal sites for unwanted prescription drugs and to develop better monitoring systems for prescription drug use, makes naloxone more widely available to law enforcement agencies and other first responders to help prevent overdoses and save lives, creates an evidence-based opioid and heroin treatment and intervention program, and sets national treatment standards.

The senator has successfully pushed back Republican efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and the Medicaid expansion, which gives thousands of New Jerseyans access to vital mental health and substance abuse services.

ONLY On-Premises Plant in Manchester!

Sen. Menendez visited a community health center in Newark, where he met recovering addicts who credited Medicaid with saving their lives.

Last May, Sen. Menendez helped lead a group of 28 senators in calling for increased federal funding to help combat the opioid and illicit drug abuse epidemic.

Sen. Menendez pressed U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell during a Senate Finance Committee hearing in February 2016 to expand access to medication assisted treatment options, which led HHS a month later to move to double the current patient limit for qualified physicians who prescribe buprenorphine to

treat opioid use disorders.

Sens. Menendez and Booker hosted a 2016 forum on the opioid epidemic with the U.S. Surgeon General, local doctors, treatment providers, and advocates.

They partnered with local law enforcement to promote National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day and encouraged New Jerseyans to discard all unwanted narcotic pain killers and other prescription drugs at participating local police stations and county prosecutor’s offices. Sen. Menendez held another strategy session in the fall of 2015 to discuss drug treatment options and programs, access to medications, and explore ways the federal government can help.

Micromedia Publications Marks 23 Years

By Jason Allentoff LAKEHURST – What do you get when you take a former copy machine salesman, partner him up with a graphic designer and arm them both with a vision to give something of great importance to the local community? You get Micromedia Publications of course, which on April 18, marked 23 years in business.

The year was 1995 when Stewart Swann combined strengths with his niece Robyn Weber (now Friedrich) to create The Manchester Times. The operation began in the basement of Swann’s house in Pine Lake Park.

“I was looking for a midlife change.

Robyn approached me at a holiday party.

She had the skills with layout and I had always been in sales. I had always written as an avocation, so I thought it would be a good marriage of talents,” Swann said. “I also recognized there was a void to be filled with regard to good local newspapers.”

The first edition was envisioned as being guided by core American ideals - community, leadership, honesty and intellectual

OCEAN COUNTY – He’s rude, he’s crude. He’s got no friends. He’s just baaaad. Can he change? Children will fi nd out in April and May, as the OCL Puppet Players present Jory John’s “The Bad Seed” at 19 Ocean County Library Branches.

freedom. Also, it was important to remain fair and balanced to both sides of the political aisle - something that still holds true to this day.

Swann would sell advertising, write news stories and keep the books while Friedrich would aid in sales and put together the entire paper from cover to cover with graphics and layout.

Eventually, the paper became a hit, they moved to Downtown Lakehurst and were able to bring on a staff. Laura Hoban was hired as the distribution manager and is still with the company to this day.

Success came for the company. A year after The Manchester Times was launched, Micromedia created The Berkeley Times. More staff joined the company.

Micromedia Publications, Inc., had found its niche and everyone was looking for the papers.

Then, as now, Swann tried to focus on what could be accomplished rather than what would hold his company back. He did so by adopting his sales philosophies to the unique world of newspaper publishing.

“My philosophy in sales has always been that people buy things for their own reasons, not your reasons. It doesn’t matter if it’s copiers

or advertising or widgets,” Swann said. “You give people value for their dollars, which is what I believe we do.”

If your hearing aid is not working, check the following items: 1. Battery - Put a brand new battery in the hearing aid. Be sure the battery is the right size and is inserted correctly. If you have trouble closing the batter y door, the batter y is in backwards. Don’t save batteries once they have been used, as they tend to get mixed up with the new ones.

2. Battery Door - Be sure the battery door is closed completely (snapped shut) when the hearing aid is being used.

3. Wax - Wax is the most common cause of hearing aid breakdown. Look at the canal end of the hearing aid and see if there is wax in the small portholes. You will need to use a bright light (i.e., f lashlight) to see into the sound tube. If the tube is clogged with wax, use the little wire tool provided with the hearing aid or a soft toothbrush and briskly brush the wax out of the hearing aid (hold the hearing aid downwards so the wax will f low toward the f loor).

4. Correct Positioning – Be sure that the hearing aid is positioned in the ear correctly and pushed firmly, but not forcefully, down into the ear canal.

Looking in the mirror is sometimes

helpful to make sure your hearing aid is not sticking out of your ear.

Sometimes a hearing aid hurts the ear and people try to avoid the problem by pulling the aid out of the ear a little. Don’t do this. If the aid hurts, you should contact your audiologist and set up an appointment immediately.

Be sure the hearing aid is in the correct ear. Most hearing aids have a red marking for the right ear and blue marking for the left ear.

5. Tubing – If the hearing aid is a behind-the-ear type, check to be sure the tubing is not twisted, cracked or plugged. Hold it up to the light and look for drops of moisture in the tubing. If the tubing does not look normal, contact your audiologist immediately so the tubing can be replaced.

6. Whistling – If the hearing aid whistles, make sure the hearing aid is inserted correctly. Be sure the volume is not turned up too high. Finally, make sure your ears are not clogged with wax.

7. Booklets – Read the instruction booklets that came with your hearing aid. They are very helpful in troubleshooting any problems that you may be having with your hearing instruments.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Marijuana Coming To A Pharmacy Near You

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. As a pharmacist for almost 30 years, I have to tell you I never thought I’d live to see the day when an advisory committee to the FDA unanimously voted to approve a pot-related drug, known as Epidiolex.

It is making a lot of people scratch their heads in wonder, for many reasons: 1. Does this mean pot is legal? No 2. Will this drug be sold at stores without a prescription? No 3. Is it going to make people high. No The FDA’s move to prescriptionize a cannabis-related drug is stunning to most, but to me. It’s really no surprise considering the pressure they’ve been under these past few years. You see, parents of children with seizures have become activists, and have been all over regulatory agencies, such as the FDA to change the laws.

Why? Because conventional medicine like benzodiazepines, phenytoin, valproate, gabapentin and/or carbamazepine weren’t always clinically successful.

Children were becoming seriously injured or disabled from seizure-related accidents. Many died in their mother’s or father’s arms. Families were going bankrupt. Somewhere along the way, word got out that an extract called CBD (cannabidiol) from the cannabis sativa plant (ie pot) could stop the seizures and make some of these kids go from catatonic, to normal with one special cookie!

Epidiolex is causing a lot of consumer confusion, as well as heartache in Colorado, which is the state I live in.

By the way, you make your own form of cannabis every single day, and this

naturally-produced compound binds to the cannabis receptor in the same exact way as if you had smoked a joint! You have “pot” receptors all over your body.

Colorado-based dispensaries have been in business for decades, and we are experiencing a population explosion in my state, primarily because we have what I call a “Pot Rush” going on, which is akin to the Gold Rush in the 1850’s, except now the commodity is weed, not gold.

Epidiolex is pure CBD. There’s no psychoactive THC in it. This drug will require a prescription. The problem here is that dispensaries in Colorado can’t sell FDA approved drugs, like Epidiolex, and likewise, pharmacies in Colorado can’t sell cannabis-containing products!

Parents in every state (except Colorado) will soon be able to go to the pharmacy to get the drug, once it is approved and on the pharmacy shelf. You will need a prescription. FYI, cannabis-related products can and do help with dozens of conditions, especially symptoms of insomnia, pain, autism, high anxiety, inflammatory (cancer) and autoimmune disorders. I have a longer version of this article that I can send to you if you sign up for my newsletter, at my website, suzycohen.com.

In summary, Epidiolex is different from medical marijuana, mainly because it does not contain any THC whatsoever, and also because it is FDA approved, and standardized. It is the most potent form of CBD currently available, and it can’t be sold by dispensaries. Once it hits the U.S. market, it will only be available at pharmacies nationwide, with the exception of pharmacies in Colorado.

NJ Medicinal Marijuana Program Now Accessible On Mobile Platforms

By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Department of Health recently announced that you can now access the NJ Medical Marijuana Program on mobile platforms, where you can perform tasks such as register, upload documents and make payments from your

phone or tablet.

“Continuing our focus on improving the consumer experience in the Medicinal Marijuana Program, for the first time since the program’s inception, the website is now mobile friendly,” said New Jersey Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal. “With

the rise in smartphone and tablet usage, providing mobile access to the Medicinal Marijuana program is a great first step.”

In addition, the Department is also investing $50,000 into a public awareness campaign, which aims to inform physicians and patients of expanded medical conditions.

The public awareness campaign will consist of social media, a radio PSA by the Health Commissioner and online advertising.

Not to mention, the Department plans to produce a webinar this spring, where the Commissioner can teach lectures for medical students, residents and other physicians throughout NJ. Commissioner Elnahal submitted a report of the NJ Medical Marijuana Program that contained over 20 reforms to the program, of which mobile access was one. With this report, the program has now added five new medical conditions – including anxiety, migraines, Tourette’s syndrome, chronic pain related to musculoskeletal disorders, and chronic visceral pain –, reduced patient and caregiver fees, allowed dispensaries to submit waivers to add satellite locations, proposed changes in law that would increase the monthly product limit for patients, and allow those in hospice care to have an unlimited supply.

The Alternative Treatment Centers have submitted three satellite waiver requests so far.

Some of the changes to the program include: • Lowered biennial patient registration fee, from $200 to $100 • Veterans and seniors were added to list of those who qualify for the $20 discounted registration fee.

• Program was elevated to a Division level • New Assistant commissioner is Jeff Brown.

Currently, 19,216 patients, 577 physicians, and 870 caregivers participate in the program.

For more information on program reforms, visit nj.gov/health/medicalmarijuana/documents/EO6Report_Final.pdf. Consumers, physicians, and business owners with questions about the report can email inquiries to MMPquestions@doh.nj.gov.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Title Insurance: Why Every Purchaser Needs It

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Dina Vicari, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Many people ask their attorneys, “what is a title search and why do I need title insurance?” Next to having the appropriate funding to purchase your new home, ensuring that the home you intend to purchase has clean or clear title is essential. All mortgage companies require clear title. It is important to ensure that you have title insurance in the event a title issue arises after you have purchased the home.

Title searchers review old deeds, mortgages and wills at the County Clerk’s office to trace the ownership history of the property. They look for any current or past mortgages, liens or judgments on the property that have not been discharged as well as whether there are any tax liens or unpaid municipal utility bills. The title searchers will also examine the chain of title to confirm that the seller’s ownership rights have not been affected and that the sellers are, in fact, selling you a home without any adverse possessory or equitable interests such as pending litigation or easements. These examples are endless, but the title company performing the search has the expertise to find all relevant concerns prior to the purchase.

Once the title company completes its search it will issue an insurance policy after closing which will insure you and your lender should anyone at any time in the future come knocking on your door claiming an ownership or possessory interest in your property. Should this occur, the title company will step- in and provide you with a legal defense and assume the costs of any litigation. This coverage is similar to automobile insurance after you have become involved in an automobile collision. After an automobile collision, your automobile insurer will provide you with legal assistance and take corrective mea-

sures in the event you are sued. Fortunately, unlike automobile in- Dina M. Vicari Esq. surance where you pay your premium annually, monthly or quarterly, your title insurance premium is paid only once at the time of closing and this one time premium will provide insurance coverage for as long as you own the home.

It is also important to note that if you have a mortgage you need to obtain both a Lender’s and Owner’s policy. The Lender’s policy covers the mount of the mortgage that is due at the time any claim is made.

An Owner’s policy covers your ownership interest, which is a relatively inexpensive addition to the policy premium. In New Jersey, title insurance is usually paid by the buyer. After closing the buyer’s attorney may need to perform additional legal tasks to complete the conditions of the title policy such as filing additional deeds and discharge of mortgages. The purchaser will receive the final title policy in the mail approximately 6-8 weeks after closing.

While all of this may be overwhelming, we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the 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 Wills and Trusts, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate, Medicaid, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning, Powers of Attorney and much more.

Holidays At My House

Dear Joel, Every Memorial Day weekend our families get together for a weekend bash. My sister Julie is always the host, but this year I want to do it. Two years ago my husband and I bought a lovely lake house. I want the family to enjoy a big cook out, games, music and even some fireworks at the lake. How can I persuade everyone to come to my house and try something new without setting off the fireworks early?

ANSWER: First of all, what a great tradition! So many families never make time for each other. She seems like she really likes being a host, but does she know you really want to open your home to the family? Has she been to your home? Ask

again and if she resists, invite as many people as you can for a non-holiday gathering and let them see how much fun a new setting can be. Post the pictures and videos of all the fun.

Maybe you can start a new tradition, a family get together on a random weekend in the summer. That way you’ll have even more good times together.

“There’s something magical that happens when we’re on stage together,” Cornish

said. “We’re going to celebrate these songs for as long as the fans allow us to and give the fans a chance to see us perform live.”

Also joining Cavaliere and Cornish on the tour will be Carmine Appice, hall of fame drummer who has worked with Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, Rod Stewart, Beck Bogert & Appice, Ozzy Osbourne and Pink Floyd, to name a few.

“I grew up watching The Rascals on Ed Sullivan, I’m a huge fan,” Appice said.

“These songs are the soundtrack to so many peoples’ lives. I’m looking forward to sharing the music with life-long Rascals fans, and to new generations of fans.”

Come out to the RWJBarnabas Health Arena on July 21 for this legendary reunion!

The Manchester Times, April 28, 2018, Page 23 The Commonwealth Boulevard property is 50x100, being sold for $20,000, and also located in Pine Lake Park. Both lots are adjacent to other vacant lots.

“We do not advertise to sell property unless we receive a request from a person or company to purchase a particular parcel of township-owned land,” Markulic said.

“We cannot just sell it to them. We must have an auction. All adjacent landowners are notified of the auction and can bid

on the property along with the initial requestor.”

The township will ensure the property isn’t needed for drainage, utilities, parks, or any other township needs, Markulic said. “…[It] benefits the town to sell property we have no use for as it generates more ratables and promotes growth,” she added. “It also cleans up these vacant lots that many times become dumping areas.”

Resident Hank Glenn questioned the long-

term benefit of putting the land back on the tax rolls, as more homes mean more need for services, including school enrollment.

But Council President Craig Wallis said Glenn was making assumptions about who is moving into any home built on those lots. Even if a family has children, those children eventually graduate and the families who stay - and many do - pay property taxes though they no longer use the school system.

According to a release from the district, Whelan was also accompanied by Dan Rastall, Senior Vice President; Robert Dupree, Chaplain; and Tr ustees Ray Gibson, Frank Stack, and Martin Fuller.

Top Honors For Preferred Home Health Care

By Fran Kirschner EATONTOWN – Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing Ser vices-Acelleron ranked among the top 25 as one of the 2018 Best Workplaces in Health Care and Biopharma in Fortune magazine’s Great Place to Work.

Jonathan Herman, COO of Preferred, said, “This amazing accomplishment, in which we bested much bigger, larger, and national companies, including the Mayo Clinic and the American Heart Association, is a testament to the core culture that we’ve cultivated and the company we continue to build.”

Ranking was based on employees’ assessments of the pride they take in their jobs, the camaraderie they experience with coworkers, and the trust they feel toward Preferred’s leaders.

Among other comments, employees at Preferred said, “I’m proud to tell others I work here; People celebrate events around here; Management trusts people to do a good job without watching over their shoulders; I feel good about the ways we contribute to the community; Management is honest and ethical in its business practices.”

Preferred offers several employee-centric programs. Preferred One Wish allows every employee to submit one wish they would like to see fulfilled in the upcoming

As part of the program Preferred Honor Roll, at the end of every quarter each division manager gets to nominate one of their employees who went above and beyond for the preceding three months.

That employee receives a $150 gift card as a reward.

Other employee benefit programs include a free car seat of their choosing for every internal employee, male or female, who is expecting a child. All internal female employees are entitled to 12 weeks of fully paid maternity leave at their annualized salary rate. All male employees are entitled to two weeks of fully paid paternity leave at their annualized salary rate.

Preferred also offers partial or full tuition reimbursement to internal employees. Employees and their office colleagues are treated to lunch on their birthday; alternatively, they could choose to make a donation to a local food bank.

Preferred is always looking for candidates who have contributed to society in meaningful ways, including putting more back into their communities than they take out. For example, Preferred looks for employees who have volunteered at local charities, nonprofits, or other community-based organizations.

Joel Markel, president and CEO of Preferred, said, “We look for employees who embody the core of what Preferred represents, which is giving back to others. We’re proud of how our Preferred employees work together to improve the health of people we serve, and how they support each other.”

Retirement Of Debt Celebration

Summer Completion

SPRING SAVINGS

MANCHESTER – On May 6, 2018, Redeemer Lutheran Church of Manchester will have a day of celebration and praise upon the retirement of the debt on their church property. Thanks to a congregational donation as part of a bequest, the church was able to accelerate the pay down of the debt. These funds may now be directed toward other ministry programs.

The festivities will include a combined celebration worship service at 10 a.m. led by the Reverend Daniel Berteau, the current pastor of Redeemer. Former pastors are scheduled to attend including Reverend Ronald Meyr, one of the founding Pastors of Redeemer.

Immediately following the service there will be a family day picnic complete with a free fellowship meal and games/activities for kids of all ages. Come and join us for a fun-filled day of praise and thanks giving.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Fish Tale: There’s More Than One Way To Make ‘Fish And Chips’

By Wolfgang Puck Some dishes are so iconic that, the moment you hear the name, you think of one recipe alone.

Imagine, for example, chicken pot pie, blueberry pancakes, beef stew, clam chowder, or chocolate chip cookies. Sure, there can be all sorts of different recipes for them and ways to prepare them; and some could be much better than others. But it takes a major creative leap to remake such familiar foods in dramatically different ways.

As an example of that kind of leap, I’d like to share a recipe that, if you had to describe it, could reasonably be described as “fish and chips.”

Fresh fish fillets? Check! Crispy, golden-brown potatoes? Check again! Delicious sauce? That’s three for three!

But classic fish and chips has one main drawback: It’s deep-fried. Not only do many people not want to cook at home with large quantities of hot oil, but they’re also trying to eat fewer high-fat, deep-fried foods. In addition, fish and chips, delicious though it is, is undeniably casual - hardly something you’d want to serve for a more formal meal. With that in mind, my version rethinks not only how the dish is cooked but also how its main ingredients are combined and served.

The preparation begins by thinly slicing so-called new potatoes, the freshly dug-up springtime crop of small “baby” potatoes. They’re then lightly tossed with clarified butter and partially baked.

(You can buy clarified butter, also known in India as ghee, in well-stocked supermarkets; or make it by melting unsalted butter in a heavy pan over low heat, cooking it until it stops bubbling and the liquid butter is clear, about 30 minutes; and then carefully pouring off the clear, “clarified” liquid into a clean container, discarding the solids.)

For the fish, I prefer fillets of mild-tasting, flaky red snapper. If you can’t find it, though, you could substitute other lean white fish such as tilapia, halibut, grouper or rockfish. After arranging the fillets on a baking sheet, I completely cover them with the potato slices, which I overlap to resemble oversized fish scales. Then I quickly roast the fish in the oven and finish browning the potato crust under the broiler.

Just like fish and chips has its tartar sauce, my recipe also includes a sauce that complements each bite of seafood and potato. I saute red onion and then cook it with red wine, port and balsamic vinegar to form a flavorful reduction that I puree and enrich with a bit of cream and butter. Served as a base for each roasted fillet, it adds a final touch of elegance to a beautiful main dish that, when you get right down to it, is really still just fish and chips.

ROASTED RED SNAPPER FILLETS WITH NEW POTATO CRUST AND RED ONION SAUCE Serves 3 to 6 For the new potato crust: 3/4 pound (375 g) small new potatoes, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter About 1/3 cup (85 mL) clarified unsalted butter Kosher salt

Freshly ground white pepper For the red onion sauce: 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) coarsely chopped red onion, about 1/2 pound (250 g) 2 cups (500 mL) dry red wine 1/4 cup (60 mL) port 1/4 cup (60 mL) balsamic vinegar 1/2 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves 1/2 cup (125 ml) good-quality canned or frozen fish stock 1/4 cup (60 mL) heavy cream 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature For the red snapper fillets: 6 red snapper fillets, each 1/2-inch (12-mm) thick and 3 to 4 ounces (90 to 125 g) Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Chopped fresh thyme leaves Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C).

Meanwhile, prepare the potatoes: With a mandoline or a very sharp knife, cut the potatoes into very thin rounds as thin as potato chips. Arrange on a baking sheet in one layer and pour enough of the clarified butter over them to coat both sides, reserving a little for brushing the fish fillets. Season with salt and pepper, and bake until tender but not yet browning, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Next, prepare the sauce. In a 10-inch (25-cm) skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add the onion, and saute until glossy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the red wine, port and balsamic vinegar; season with pepper and thyme. Boil until reduced by about half.

Stir in the fish stock, and continue boiling, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken.

Carefully puree in a blender, in batches if necessary, following manufacturer’s instructions to avoid splattering. Return to the skillet. You should have about 1 1/2 cups (375 mL). Stir in the cream, and cook 1 minute longer. Strain into a clean pan and whisk in the butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper and keep warm.

Raise the oven temperature to 500 F (260 C).

Brush the fish fillets with some of the reserved clarified butter, and season with salt, pepper and a touch of thyme. Brush a baking sheet with olive oil, and place the fillets on it, evenly spaced apart. Arrange the potato slices, one overlapping the other, on each fillet, covering the fillets to resemble scales on a fish. Bake in the hot oven for 4 minutes. Move the baking sheet under the broiler and turn on the broiler; watching carefully to avoid burning, broil until the potatoes turn golden and crispy, around 3 minutes longer.

Spoon some sauce in the center of each heated serving plate. Using a wide spatula, place one or two fillets on top of the sauce on each plate.

Garnish with pinches of thyme, and serve immediately, passing extra sauce on the side.
