Wounded Warriors Remembered In Jackson

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON - A bit of rain and some crisp autumn air wasn’t about to dampen the 11th Annual Wounded Warrior parade.

Al Dolce, the chairman of the Wounded Warrior program at the Central Rifle and Pistol Club spoke about the day’s activities while at the club following the parade. The wounded warriors received a free hunting knife, a barbeque lunch

Six Vie For Council Seats

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – With election day looming ever closer, voters will be reviewing the backgrounds and positions of six council candidates during this year’s municipal election.

Two four-year terms are in consideration and each candidate voiced their concerns, plans and backgrounds for holding this office.

Running with incumbent Republican Mayor Michael Reina under the campaign slogan of “Experienced Leadership Moving Jackson Forward” are Andrew Kern and Alex Saucikie.

by Wegman’s, along with dessert.

Dolce spoke of the need for volunteers to assist the membership of his organization in helping with projects like a veterans fishing trip held each spring.

The Warriors were escorted by township police, members of the community’s volunteer fire companies, and first aid squads, motorcycle clubs as well as resident volunteers.

“Odin” who serves as the Sgt.-AtArms of the motorcycle club Leathernecks Nation, said that most of his organization are from Ocean County.

“We have six members here today. It was warmer last year but that’s okay.”

Members of the Fallen Saints and Rolling Thunder motorcycle clubs were also present for the event doing escort duties.

Also present were members of the Marine Corps League including “US Marine of the year” Anthon DiSiena, a 93-year-old World War II veteran.

Continued From Page 1 Running with challenger Tracie Yostpille as part of the “Save Jackson” ticket are candidates Brandon Rose and Paul Sarti.

Republican incumbent Councilman Scott Martin, who previously ran with Reina as part of his party’s ticket, is running separately this time on the “Jackson First” campaign.

Another council contender is Denise Garner whose slogan is “The Independent Voice For The People.”

Kern said he was motivated to run for council because “I want to keep Jackson a family-oriented town, maintaining the culture that I grew up in and chose to raise my children. I have spent my entire life contributing my time and efforts to help people from coaching sports for over 10 years to volunteering on boards, committees and commissions.”

“As a lifelong resident of Jackson, I believe that my business and life experience combined with my knowledge of state local land use laws can provide a substantial benefit to all Jackson residents,” Kern added.

Kern is the managing principal of an energy management firm that helps schools, health systems and commercial businesses reduce their utility expenses. He grew up on the west side of Jackson and has lived on the east side of the township with his wife and children for the past 17 years. This is his first foray into elected office since college.

“I have served as a member of the Jackson Township Planning Board since 2013 where I am currently the Vice-Chairman.

“In my career, I have helped schools, businesses, hospitals and government entities save millions of dollars in utility expenses using strategies to optimize proceeds from federal, state and utility incentive programs, scripting (request for proposal) documents and contract negotiation. I spent many years as part of a management team responsible for 325 employees and a $62 million per year P&L,” Kern said.

Kern spoke about what he feels is the most pressing issue that Jackson Township is currently facing saying that “as a life-long resident of Jackson I have watched the town grow in spurts over the years. Currently, there is an increasing burden from the state government and courts that could change our town. I will work hard to ensure our council continues to make the sound, defensible resolutions and ordinances that we will need to keep Jackson a family-oriented town that we are all proud to call home and will benefit all residents of Jackson Township for years to come.”

Kern added that “my goals are to preserve Jackson’s family-oriented culture by keeping taxes stable, attracting clean commercial businesses and continue improving infrastructure throughout the town.”

Sauickie currently serves as president and chief operating officer of a Jersey City based software company. “I’m also a small business owner, and own Liberty Tax Service businesses in Long Branch and the Bronx.

I’m a lifelong resident of Jackson, growing up in Brookwood 4, and having attended Rosenauer Elementary (originally when

it was still called the Brookwood School), Goetz Middle School, and am a proud member of the Class of ’89 from Jackson Memorial High School.”

This also marks Sauickie’s first foray into politics. He said his work history will help him to address issues in Jackson. “In my most current role, for example, I was able to identify over $8 million dollars in recurring annual cost savings for the company. I think that sense of fiscal responsibility and results is critical for this role. In addition, as a small business owner I’m proud of the businesses that I’ve built from scratch, and which during tax season employ as many as 1,100 people.”

“I think by far the most pressing issue is Trenton governor- and legislature-mandated policies thrust upon the township. That alone plays a major role in what I’m hearing from residents are the most concerning issues, including overdevelopment or COAH (Council On Affordable Housing), which is a Trenton legislative policy forced upon us by the NJ Supreme Court, and most recently the governor, who after the 2018 township school budget was done, took back from Jackson $1.3 million in 2018, and an incredible $17.3 million by 2024 from our schools,” Sauickie said.

“As an adult I could have lived anywhere however I wanted to raise my family in the same town in which I was raised,” he said. “I have a history of volunteering. I spent seven years as a board member of the Kimball Medical Center Foundation (now Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus), two years leading it as its chairman. I founded a 501(c)(3) foundation in memory of my daughter that raised several thousands of dollars to benefit children. I currently volunteer on the town’s Zoning Board of Adjustment, where I have a record of fighting to uphold our zoning laws and ensure smart commercial growth that doesn’t negatively impact our residential areas and our residents.”

Garner said she has been a resident of Jackson for the past 23 years.

“I live in the Van Hiseville section off Cedar Swamp Road. I was attracted to this area because of its rural beauty and affordability.”

The candidate said “I have degree in natural science/computer science and geographic information systems (GIS). I started out my career as computer systems analyst, but with my continued service as an environmental commissioner, my focus has shifted to GIS and environmental science.

My education and credentials have enabled me to consult for large utility and telecommunication companies as well as the State Department of Environmental Protection.”

Garner ran for council four years ago, “and garnered over 5,000 votes. I served 14 years on the Environmental Commission, an appointed volunteer position, as a civic duty for the people of Jackson.”

She added that “as I was raising my family with my husband of 35 years. I taught CCD for seven years, coached Little League baseball, basketball and soccer. I was also a Jackson Memorial High School band mom for 10 years.”

Continued From Page 4 Garner said that during her years of serving on the Environmental Commission “I have attended countless Planning, Zoning and Township Council meetings. In doing so, this has given me the experience to understand all aspects of how our township functions, especially working with township officials and private citizens to strike a fair balance between party politics and people.”

Garner feels the most pressing issue that Jackson Township is facing are taxes. “Taxes are a huge issue for many residents. Many are concerned about over development and additional taxes. Residents have commented to me that they moved to Jackson Township because of characteristics and natural beauty. I believe the people’s concerns are not being heard, party politics, pay to play and double dipping will ultimately destroy our township.”

Garner added that “I believe in effective government representing the people not the special interests. Proper planning, shared resources and accountability of the government will keep taxes stable.”

Martin said “I enjoy serving the people of Jackson. Being in a position to effect policy and improve the lives of our constituents is a responsibility which I take very seriously. I also enjoy working with the many non-profit and sports groups we have in town.”

The candidate said he felt his best accomplishment while in office was “establishing fiscal discipline while rebuilding our police

The Jackson Times, October 20, 2018, Page 5 force. Before taking office, spending was increasing at an alarming rate and our debt had increased by 7.1 million. Now we live within our means and we’ve reduced debt by 13 million dollars over the last 10 years and we were recently named the 29th safest town in New Jersey.”

The candidate would not comment on his running separate from the Republican slate this election.

Regarding the township’s most pressing issue, he said “we need to enforce our zoning and code ordinances, but most of all we need to hold violators accountable and make penalties for repeat offenders tougher. We need to craft an ordinance to hold anyone who purchases a single-family home as an investment property accountable if they are renting out their home improperly and they aren’t monitoring their renters for illegal activity or having inappropriate amount of people living in the home.”

Martin said that as a fi nancial advisor “I’m able to analyze the budget to locate savings and keep spending increases to a bare minimum which in return will minimize tax increases.

“While serving as an elected official it’s important to remember your elected to serve the people you represent and not your party or your own political ambitions. I’m very proud to say I’ve always been able to work with any elected official regardless of party and speak with any constituent group whatever their concern may be. If re-elected I’ll continue to put the people of Jackson fi rst,” he concluded.

Sarti said he was running for a council seat because “I felt it was time to stop complaining and to do something about the problems in Jackson. Over-development and increasing taxes are threatening our quality of life and Jackson needs new leadership and a new direction.

“I work for the State of NJ with the Division of Pensions. I am the Supervisor of Retired Health Benefits for state, some local, and some board of education employees. I moved to Jackson with my parents in 1988. I got married in October of 1991 and we move to Lavallette for a few years and then moved back to Jackson for good in 1996.”

While never having run for office before, the candidate said “my wife and I have been active volunteers in Jackson for over 20 years because we care about our community and making it better. I have experience working with multi-million dollar budgets through my job and I am looking forward cutting the budget, especially the overpriced legal services that have cost Jackson taxpayers millions.”

Sarti said he feels the most pressing issue facing the township is over-development. “(The current administration) approved 4,960 family housing units in Jackson that are due to be built by 2025. Nearly all of these units are high-density apartments and townhouses and 50 percent of the approved low-income units allow for 3, 4, 5, and 6-bedroom units.

Our infrastructure cannot handle this mass influx of new residents and as a councilman, I will do everything in my power to stop this

reckless plan.”

Rose said his primary motivation in running “is to stop the over-development in Jackson.

We need to elect new people that oppose this development.

“I am a law enforcement professional with over 21 years of experience. I moved to Jackson in 2010. This is my first time running for an elected office,” Rose said.

“Real life experiences that will help me in the role of council member include things like being part of a law enforcement union that has negotiated multi-million dollar labor contracts with the State of New Jersey. My designation as a Certified Public Manager and graduate of the NJ Chiefs of Police West Point Command and Leadership program have also provided me invaluable tools in how to manage people and resources while achieving results,” Rose said.

Like his council running mate, Rose feels “over-development of open space in Jackson is the most pressing issue. It’s not just what I think either. It’s what concerns the residents of Jackson. I talk to people who have lived in Jackson for over 40 years and those who have just recently moved here. We don’t want to be put in a situation where the infrastructure (roads, water, sewer, schools) can’t support the population.”

Rose added that “nearly all of the 4,960 family units approved…are high-density apartments and townhouses at between 6 and 12 units per acre. We need to keep lot sizes to previously adopted minimum standards of no more than one home per acre.”

“I truly enjoy meeting and talking to the people that live in Jackson as I campaign for elected office,” Rose said.

Continued From Page 1 served. We have between 20-25 wounded warrior veterans here today. It is great to see other veterans and police officers who served in the military come out to provide support for this. It is our way of saying thank you to them all,” Mayor Michael Reina said.

Reina noted that those who showed support during the program left “a lasting memory for these heroes.”

Sen. Sam Thompson was present for the event this year and he said he was glad to see the event go forward. “I served in the Korean War and my family has a military tradition. It is wonderful to see what is happening here today.”

“Mayor Reina put this together when he first came into office and I commend him for that. It is important that we as people show honor for those who paid the ultimate price and those who were injured while in service,” Jackson Councilman Scott Martin said.

Councilman Barry Calogero commented that “a rainy day is nothing compared to what the men and women who have served have gone through. I’m here to support them in the rain and see they get the honor they deserve.”

Those seeking further information about the annual parade and the Wounded Warrior program in Jackson can contact Mayor Reina’s office at 732-928-1200 ext.1211.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY

F EATURED L ETTER Who Really Benefits From Increase In Minimum Wage?

Just read another politician, the Gover nor and Craig McLoughlin thinks it is great to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. They want to give everyone a livable wage. However, they are not saying that when wages go up, so do prices. This raise in salaries is almost 100 percent. That fast food h a mbu rge r you wa nt may now cost you seven or eight dollars plus a drink and fries. Have you seen this cost of living increase in your social security, pension checks or veterans’ benefits?

The second part of this is, what kind of raise that must be given to workers who make $20 an hour after years of service to balance this $15 governmental raise?

Are we now going to pay them $38 dollars an hour for the same work? Realistic businesses will always pass the cost on to the consumer with smaller size or lower grade products.

We have some people in entry level positions that have very few skills and no intention on improving themselves. Entry level means entering the work force for the first time and you need to improve your skills in order to get a higher wage. Entry level positions were for students to put a few dollars in their pockets while in school. Not to support yourself in life So, if this comes to

p a s s , you r e c e ive a raise, prices go up dramatically and you are in the same boat as you were before. But wait there is a bright side to this! The incomes tax goes up. Let’s say the tax is 25 percent on a dolla r. So, you are taxed 25 cents on every dollar you earn.

Now at two dollars you are taxed 50 cents on your hourly wage. For example, if you ear n $315 a week after taxes you take home approximately $236.25.

The government gets $78.75. Now, at $15 an hour for the same 35 - h o u r wo r k we e k you ea r n $525 af t e r taxes you take home is $393.75. The gover n ment s sha re now is $131.25. WOW the government has almost doubled thei r (you r) money. More money for their family members, political donors who they employ and their pet projects.

Entry level is entry level, not career sust ai n i ng. T hat comes with the development of skills and education.

Businesses will pay the price to lure better employees. Please don’t be fooled by the bleeding hearts saving they are going to get you more money. They are not; they are look ing for votes and are going to get themselves more money.

Letters To The Editor Trump’s Behavior Will Live In Infamy President Trump is to be given credit for a number of international, national and economic achievements. It appears that strong leadership is valued and perhaps more capable of progress than those who take a more timid approach. Hopefully, none of these accomplishments will unravel as time passes, as feared by many analysts. For now, however, there is reason to be pleased, by most if not all people. However, in addition to administrative ability there must also be respect, civility and dignity. America has weathered many wars, economic declines, international strife as well as internal disharmony but through it all those who served as presidents, regardless of political party, met the challenges with conduct that inspired rather degraded and we came through them stronger and prouder.

Sadly, when history is written, President Trump will be remembered more for his conduct than achievements.

At a time when bigotry is rampant, crimes in many cities are on the rise and bullying has become a crisis, our president has emboldened those who represent the worst in conduct, hate and cruelty.

Perhaps the president recognized that more Americans than we would like to believe are not the kind, folksy people often depicted in the media or who we thought were

our lovely, decent neighbors.

Letters To The Editorvote for Bob Hugin to unseat Trump Inspires If Trump can energize people to almost riotous laughter and applause when he degrades women, immigrants (forgetting we are all descendants of immigrants), the handicapped, a captured war hero, those who disagree with him or fail to compliment him and cannot even bring himself to denounce white supremacists in order to maintain and grow his political base, those who are decent Americans are in big trouble. Dictators who brought war, death and destruction to millions also rallied crowds by similar inflammatory rhetoric and conduct. What hope can we have for our children and grandchildren who repeatedly witness the president of the United States and American citizens, not illegals who fled persecution and hunger, behave in this despicable and frightening manner?

As we sing “God Bless America” hopefully we will once again become the decent and inspirational America we once were. Those who recognize the dangers c-15onfronting us must work to halt our rapid decline into hate and indignity mindful of the great film, “It’s A Wonderful Life” where a decent man who lost hope was able to see what life would be like when people like him would be replaced by those similar to those we see and hear at Trump’s political rallies.

Economic Growth After the end of the Great Recession of 2008, President Obama led us through the worst recovery period in modern American economic history. Leading with disastrous policy such as his signature failure, the Affordable Care Act, the economy never had a chance. Even though the Federal Reserve jumped in and saved his bacon by propping up the economy with endless quantitative easing measures, and unheard of zero percent interest rates throughout his two terms, we were stuck in a quagmire of what I call the era of resignation toward lackluster growth.

With the election of President Trump, things changed overnight. Something no one seems to want to talk about suddenly came on the scene.

It’s called consumer confidence, and it travels through the country across all political spectrums. Obamanites want to take credit for laying the groundwork for this success but the fact is the confidence wasn’t there then and it won’t be there should we return to more failed democratic policy that can no longer be propped up. Despite what anyone may think of the president personally, it is plain to see that his initiative has inspired economic growth.

Anti-Trumpers would snuff out this economic growth just to be rid of their hated foe.

America cannot continue its leadership role for western civilization unless we remain economically on top.

Right now Trump is staring down China in a trade war where the victor will reign supreme. This November’s midterm elections represent a referendum on the Trump agenda, and an opportunity to show the world Americans are serious about that role.

This November 6, in the 3rd district, vote for Tom MacArthur. Even more importantly, in the 2nd district, vote for an ardent Trump supporter, the liberty-loving Seth Grossman. Statewide,

the corrupt Robert Menendez. Lastly vote no on the bond issue as it contains a clause that could raise your property tax bill.

Every vote counts, the choice is ours: continue the consumer era of the present administration or return to the lackluster days of the resignation era. Your economic viability may come down to your individual vote.

James M. Spickard Little Egg Harbor

Smith’s Healthcare Voting Record Risks Lives Healthcare is important to my family. Last year my brother received treatment through the Affordable Care Act that saved his life. Congressman Chris Smith voted against the ACA when it passed in 2010. Over the next 6 years, he voted multiple times to restrict or repeal many of the provisions, but the legislation failed. If Smith had been successful, my brother’s story might be very different.

In July 2017, when the ACA was in danger of being repealed, Smith repeatedly refused to hold an open meeting to hear our concerns. We resorted to letters, phone calls, and rallies outside his office. Only after this outpouring from voters did Smith agree to vote against the repeal. How will he vote the next time? I don’t know.

How will he vote on proposed changes to Medicare and Social Security? I don’t know.

Smith’s track record does not inspire me with confidence.

I want someone I can trust to represent my family. I want Josh Welle. Over the last few months he has held multiple open town hall meetings.

He has listened to voters on many issues. He understands the importance of healthcare.

On November 6, I am voting to protect my family. I am voting for Josh Welle.

Capitol Comments Assemblyman Ronald Dancer 12th Legislative District, Serving Jackson

TRENTON - Drivers who have their license suspended for non-moving violations could drive to work with a restricted license under a bill (A4480) introduced by Assemblyman Ron Dancer (R-12th).

The special license applies only when a driver’s license is suspended for violations that do not earn points, including parking tickets and equipment violations, and would be limited to specific hours for travel between

From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. - The 2.8 percent Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) increase for seniors is better than last year, but still not reflective of the real costof-living increases seniors face, said Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th), who is pushing for legislation to establish a more accurate cost-of-living adjust-

ment mechanism for seniors.

“While a 2.8 percent increase is an improvement upon the previous benefits, the reality is that it still does not meet the needs of today’s seniors,” Smith said. “We must ensure that the benefits they earned are an up-to-date reflection of their daily needs, and this will require a new and more

New License Would Allow People To Drive Who Lost License Over Fines home and work or school.

A person whose license was suspended for driving while intoxicated with drugs or alcohol is not eligible.

“Licenses should be suspended for failing to drive safely, not for non-moving violations resulting in fines or surcharges that a driver can’t afford to pay,” said

Dancer. “This will not give the keys back to dangerous drivers who are hazards on the roadways.”

Municipal courts will determine if a driver qualifies for restricted privileges after considering the driver’s financial hardship without a license.

“We want people to work

and pay their bills, but it doesn’t make sense to suspend licenses for these kinds of violations that take away the paycheck needed to pay the debt. A suspended license, especially for non-moving violations, can interfere with work and continue a cycle of desperation and hopelessness,” said

Dancer. “When you can’t afford to pay, it is more important than ever for workers to get to their jobs and earn paychecks.”

Dancer’s legislation is based on a recommendation of the NJ Supreme Court Committee Report on Municipal Operations, Fines, and Fees, issued August 2018.

Social Security Increase Welcome, But Not Enough accurate measurement of their cost-of-living.

“Social Security is a sacred trust, and we must honor this trust by strengthening this program to ensure that the benefits meet the needs of those who rely on them for their livelihood,” Smith said.

Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA) are currently tied to the Consumer Price Index. Smith has supported the creation of new measurements to more accurately reflect the costs of

goods and services that today’s seniors face, such as healthcare spending.

Smith has cosponsored the CPI for Seniors Act (HR 2016), a bipartisan bill requiring the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to develop and publish a new monthly index, the Consumer Price Index for Seniors, that measures changes in consumer spending more typical for Americans age 62 and older.

“We need to base future Cost-of-Living Adjustments

(COLA) on items that seniors spend their money on, such as medical procedures, medication, and Medicare premiums. These are the cost-of-living expenses that most strongly influence a senior’s household budget,” Smith said. “I will continue fight for a revised COLA formula that gives more accurate weight to the types of expenses seniors endure - so that the annual COLA keeps pace with expenses more typical of seniors’ cost-of-

living.”

More than 67 million Americans will see the 2.8 percent benefit increase for Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, the Social Security Administration announced, and the increased payments will take place beginning Dec. 31, 2018. The adjustment was due to an increase in the Consumer Price Index from the third quarter of 2017 through the third quarter of 2018.

State Opposes IRS Rules About Tax Credits For Charitable Giving

TRENTON - Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal led a coalition of Attorneys General calling on the Trump Administration to rescind its “arbitrary” plan to impose new tax rules that undermine efforts by states like New Jersey to promote charitable giving and provide relief to their local taxpayers.

In a letter sent to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Charles P. Rettig, Attorney General Grewal submitted comments opposing the planned new tax rules as “contrary to law” and “misguided as a matter of policy.”

The Trump Administration enacted a tax overhaul in December 2017 that placed, for the first time, a $10,000 cap on the federal deduction for state and local taxes

(SALT). On May 4, Governor Phil Murphy responded by signing S1893/A3499 into law. The new law allows state residents to make charitable contributions to their local governments and to receive partial tax credits of up to 90 percent when they do so.

The IRS has now announced its intent to change its longstanding policy of treating such charitable contributions as deductible. Instead, the agency plans to require taxpayers to subtract the value of any tax credits they receive from their charitable contribution deductions. The new requirement is unprecedented in the 101-year history of the charitable deduction.

“The IRS’s about-face represents bad law and bad public policy,” said Attorney General Grewal. “The IRS

should have stood by its longstanding view that tax credit programs like New Jersey’s are lawful. Instead, the IRS’s new rules harm the many individuals, charities, and governments that have come to depend on existing state charitable programs.

I’m proud to lead a coalition of Attorneys General opposing the proposed rules as dangerous and illegal, and I promise to challenge the IRS in court if it goes through with its plans.”

Attorney General Grewal’s letter notes that the majority of states have programs that offer tax credits to individuals who make charitable contributions to qualifying institutions. More than 100 programs exist in 33 states, the letter explains, which incentivize individuals to

donate to causes ranging from natural resource preservation and domestic violence shelters to financial aid for higher education. The IRS’s plan would undermine all these programs.

The letter explains that the proposed rules would be unlawful in multiple ways.

For one, the IRS has previously treated contributions made pursuant to these programs as deductible under the Internal Revenue Code. “Had Congress wished to revise the Code so as to reverse this long-standing precedent,” Attorney General Grewal’s letter explains, “it would have done so in clear terms.

It has not done so, including in the most recent federal tax overhaul.… It is not within the IRS’s rulemaking power to usurp Congressional

authority and overrule a tax law principle that has been unquestioned for more than 100 years.”

Further, the letter adds, “the IRS’s proposal would prejudice states and localities relative to foreign governments.

Indeed, while a taxpayer would be required to subtract the value of SALT credits from a charitable deduction, the receipt of a foreign tax benefit would leave the same charitable deduction unchanged.”

And finally, the IRS proposal - together with a “clarification” the IRS issued for business taxpayers on September 5 - would favor corporations over people “because corporations could still deduct charitable contributions that trigger SALT credits while individuals could not.”

For all of these reasons, the letter criticizes the proposed IRS rules as “an exercise in law-making rather than statutory interpretation.”

The letter also argues that the proposed new rules are troubling as a matter of policy as well. Because programs like New Jersey’s “do not provide dollar-for-dollar tax credits and therefore yield a net increase in state and local revenues,” the IRS’s efforts to undermine these programs end up “depriving state and local governments of the revenue necessary to sustain vital public services.”

“The IRS should abandon its proposed rules,” Attorney General Grewal argues in the letter, “and restore its previous practice of allowing full deductions for charitable contributions that trigger SALT credits.”

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

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

How To Increase The Longevity Of Your Hearing Aid Statistically, hearing-impaired patients replace their hearing aids about every four years. Additionally, during that four-year period, your hearing aid may have to go back to the manufacturer for repair at least three to five times ... Why? The most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is wax build up in the receiver port. Those metal picks that your dispenser provides you with (for cleaning purposes) are problematic. In my opinion, you should clean your hearing aid with a soft toothbrush while holding the receiver port of your hearing aid down towards the floor (so the wax will not fall back into your hearing aid).

The second most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is moisture build up, which can cause your hearing aid to work intermittently. In this case, a dry aid kit is very useful in removing moisture from your hearing instrument (particularly during the more humid summer months).

A third reason for hearing aid malfunction is that most patients do not receive

routine follow-up services. In my own practice, patients return to the office at either three-month or six-month intervals for cleaning and adjustment of their instruments. Just like your car needs an oil change every 3,000 miles, your hearing aid needs to be checked at least twice a year by your hearing health-care professional.

In summary, if you follow these steps, you will increase the life of your hearing aid: 1. Clean your hearing aid every day with a soft toothbrush.

2. Open the battery door at night to prolong the life of your battery.

3. Ask your hearing health-care professional for a dry aid kit to alleviate moisture build up in your hearing aid.

4. Schedule routine follow-up visits with your hearing health-care professional at least two or three times per year.

5. Routinely have your ears cleaned or checked by either your family physician or ear, nose and throat doctor.

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!

Three DIY Essential Oils To Help You Relax And Sleep

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

One of the most powerful attributes of essential oils is that they contain powerful compounds with constituents in them that promote relaxation. It’s fun to experiment with oils because they work! Doctors from around the world have used oils to relax patients prior to surgery, ease depression and anxiety, and impact GABA receptors, which calm us down. Fragrances instead of pills, it’s a novel idea, right?!

In one fascinating study, researchers learned that sniffing Jasmine essential oil may be as effective as commonly prescribed barbiturates or benzodiazepines when it comes to inducing calm and sleepiness.

Essential oils do not pose serious adverse health risks or side effects such as daytime drowsiness, morning hangovers or tolerance withdrawal. Also, unlike OTC sleep aids, they don’t induce anticholinergic side effects such as constipation, blurry vision and dry mouth.

The easiest way to get essential oils into your blood stream within seconds is to inhale them. Pour a few drops onto the palms of your hands, rub together and inhale deeply. Do this 3 to 5 times then rub your palms onto your neck, or the bottoms of your feet.

My favorite way to use essential oils at night is in a diffuser. You can add a few different oils to the diffuser and enjoy better sleep. Here are a few ideas to get you started: 1. Lavender Dreams - If there’s one, num-

ber one proven oil to relax the body and mind, ease melancholy, and enhance sleep, it’s lavender. Combine lavender essential oils with any number of other oils for great sleep. For example, you could mix it with vetiver, frankincense or calendula. My favorite is 3 drops lavender combined with 3 drops sandalwood (equal mix) plus 1 drop of bergamot, all in my little diffuser by the bed. I nicknamed it lavender dreams, lol.

2. Sleep Like a Baby Blend - Another blend for enhanced sleep and relaxation is below. Depending on the size of your diffuser, you may want to use fewer drops, but either way, keep the ratio the same: • 4 drops clary sage essential oil • 4 drops ylang-ylang essential oil • 4 drops of Roman chamomile • 2 drops wild orange (or bergamot) Clary sage, ylang-ylang, and Roman chamomile are wonder ingredients for promoting relaxation, curbing anxiety, and clary sage is especially effective for helping women balance hormones, including fat-storing cortisol, which leads to belly fat.

3. The Knock Out Blend - For when sleep seems the farthest thing from your mind, and you’ve been in front of that computer all day, with all that circadian-disrupting blue light pouring into your eyeballs, this is the blend I really recommend. Combine 3 drops each of frankincense, bergamot, and sandalwood essential oils.

Instead of filling your home with synthetic perfumes that have hundreds of strange artificial chemicals, try natural essential oils.

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 measures in the event

Robert C. Shea Esq.

you are sued. Fortunately, unlike automobile insurance where Dina M. Vicari Esq. 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.

Residents Urged To Report Insurance Fraud

By Jennifer Peacock TRENTON – It’s a crime that costs taxpayers billions of dollars annually. The government wants New Jerseyans to help put a stop to it.

Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal and the Office of the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor (OIFP) Insurance Fraud Awareness

have launched an advertising campaign urging residents to report insurance fraud.

That OIFP has a new web page that makes reporting fraud easier.

The announcement coincides with Insurance Fraud Awareness Month.

Billboards and busses showcase the campaign’s slogan: “Insurance Fraud. Report

It. End It.” The three-month campaign will include spots on social networks, radio, television, and college and professional sporting events.

“Insurance fraud isn’t a victimless crime.

Honest taxpayers are paying the price through higher insurance premiums and increased costs for goods and services,”

Grewal said. “Our ad campaign encourages New Jerseyans to fight back and warns insurance cheats of the consequences.”

There are about $80 billion fraudulent insurance claims filed annually in the United States, the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud reports.

The fraud affects everyone, from the insurance companies to policyholders, consumers and businesses.

“To mark the start of Insurance Fraud Awareness month, we’re calling on the public to protect their own fi nancial interests by reporting fraud, and we’re making it easier than ever for them to do it,” acting Insurance Fraud Prosecutor Tracy M. Thompson said. “We have also unveiled an updated and more user-friendly online reporting form on our webpage at NJInsuranceFraud.org. By simplifying the reporting process we hope to encourage more consumers to join our fight to end insurance fraud.”

Information on what is insurance fraud and how to spot it is provided on the website. Identifying elder abuse committed against Medicaid recipients, or facilities receiving Medicaid funding, is also on the site.

Thompson will be giving interviews about the fraud issue throughout the month.

Anonymous tips about insurance cheating can be made to 877-55-FRAUD or njinsurancefraud.org.

Informants whose information leads to an arrest, prosecution and conviction for insurance fraud are permitted a reward under state regulations.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of OCT 20 - OCT 26

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): The good old days may not have been all that great. Touching base with a long-lost friend may soon remind you why you fell out of touch. The surest way to get others to pitch in is to be enthusiastic this week.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): A watched pot never boils. Be patient and find constructive ways to keep yourself occupied rather than feverishly awaiting important results. A family problem may consume more time than necessary this week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Leave well enough alone this week. It may be better to allow a situation to go unresolved rather than to force a poorly conceived solution. You may find that is easier to get cooperation later in the week.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Turn the other cheek. Don’t take a loved one’s bad mood personally as the root of their troubles likely has nothing to do with you. Matters of the heart may be stuck in neutral as this week unfolds.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Make no assumptions. Unexpected events or someone changing their mind at the last second could throw your plans out of whack in the week ahead. Be sure to act like a professional when handling business matters.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t take anything for granted. Someone may not react to a situation as you expect so be sure to discuss your intentions before acting. Unnecessary suspicions may cause friction in the week ahead.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Take things seriously. Making light of a bad situation to ease tensions may rub certain people the wrong way, so proceed with caution. The coming week may provide fertile ground for finances.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t spread yourself too thin. Others may try to “guilt” you into taking on tasks that will make their lives easier but only bring you added headaches.

Keep your own bases covered ahead of all else.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Good ideas are worthless if they merely stay in your head. Even if nothing comes of it, keep a written log of your thoughts for future reference. This week you may get a chance to be the leader.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Clean up the clutter. Keeping something around “for old time’s sake” may simply be using up space that would be better occupied by something else.

Your judgment may be better later in the week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t overestimate your abilities. While you may think that you are being charming, someone else may find it annoying. Attempts to make a good impression may fail unless you are totally honest this week.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): If it hasn’t worked for you in the past, stop doing it.

Making changes to your approach in the week ahead could make things easier for you in the long run. Have a little faith that things will work out for the best.

Shake Up Your Autumn Brunch

By Wolfgang Puck SHAKSHOUKA WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND BELL PEPPERS Serves 6 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 medium-sized yellow onion, halved and cut crosswise into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick 1 green bell pepper, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and cut crosswise into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick 1 red bell pepper, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and cut crosswise into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 4 cups (1 L) cherry tomatoes, stemmed and cut into quarters 1 3/4 cups (435 mL) good-quality canned or bottled tomato-basil sauce Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 6 large eggs 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro or Italian parsley leaves In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer and flows freely when the pan is tilted. Carefully swirl the oil around

the pan to coat the bottom. Add the garlic and onion; saute, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until they turn fragrant, about 1 minute..

Add the bell peppers; saute, stirring continuously, until they brighten in color slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes and the cherry tomatoes; saute until they begin to give up their juices, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Stir in the tomato sauce, season lightly to taste with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook until the mixture has formed a thick but still slightly fluid sauce, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary, with a little more salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium With the back of a large serving spoon, spread the sauce evenly in the pan and then make 6 evenly spaced indentations in the sauce around the perimeter of the pan. One at a time, carefully break an egg into each indentation. Lightly sprinkle the eggs with a little salt and pepper.

Cover the pan and cook until the egg whites are fully set and the yolks are done to your liking, about 10 minutes for yolks that are still slightly runny.

Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley. Present the dish in the pan on a heatproof trivet on the dining table, scooping portions of sauce and egg together onto individual serving plates.
