Mayoral Race Reveals Stark Contrast In Candidates’ Positions

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – The township’s two mayoral candidates provide a stark contrast in views on where Jackson has been heading in relation to development, tax ratables and its future.

Incumbent Republican Mayor Michael Reina, who has served in that role for about a decade, is seeking re-election and is facing challenger Tracie Yostpille.

Reina is running under the campaign tag line of “Experienced Leadership Moving Jackson Forward.” Running with Reina are GOP council candidates Andrew Kern and Alexander

Sauickie, III. Yostpille is running as part of the “Save Jackson” ticket feeling that the township’s development and other areas of government need some important changes. Running on the same slogan are council candidates Brandon Rose and Paul Sarti.

Reina strongly maintains that the township “has been going in a positive direction for quite some time now…

Public safety and the residents’ quality of life are the most important goals and in my opinion, extremely critical to the townships health.

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – It was a cold, sunny afternoon, but spirits were not chilled by the persistent winds at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Ocean County Vocational Technical School Performing Arts Academy, held outside of the Jay & Linda Grunin Center on Oct. 18.

“I can’t believe that it was just a year ago that we were gathered here as a community to announce the construction of a new, state-of-the-art performance academy right here on the Ocean County College Campus, “ mused Jay Grunin, co-founder and co-chair of The Jay & Linda Grunin Foundation, (OCC - See Page 2)

Voters To Decide Whether School Hires Security Officers

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON - Board of Education members held a special forum to discuss a question being put on the Nov. 6 ballot – whether the district should hire six more security guards to provide additional protection the district’s schools.

The forum was held at the Jackson Memorial High School Fine Arts Center and drew around 30 residents.

Only three people came to the podium to ask questions or make a statement about the ballot question. If approved, the district would then have a total of 19 security staff. The district currently has two police resource officers, the cost of which is shared between the school district and township.

School Superintendent Stephen Genco said previously that due to the number of schools the district has “the number of students and staff for whom we are responsible, we need to (Voters- See Page 4)

Jackson Council Speaks Out Against Establishing Sanctuary Cities

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Council members and a few council candidates voiced their opposition to the idea of designating sanctuary states and cities in relation to the enforcement of law toward illegal immigrants in the country.

Sanctuary sites are cities and counties (and in some instances, states) that have policies in place that limit cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Council members unanimously

approved a resolution that opposed New Jersey from becoming a sanctuary state and resolving that Jackson would never become a sanctuary city.

The resolution took aim at Governor Phil Murphy and members of the state legislature who have voiced support of the idea of the state becoming a sanctuary state.

The resolution includes, “a sanctuary state means the State of New Jersey would welcome illegal (Sanctuary - See Page 2)

OCC: Continued From Page 1 and one of the ceremony’s VIP guests. “Here we are today, with construction well underway.”

Bulldozers and construction vehicles were actively working behind the scenes on the beginning stages of the new building during the afternoon ceremony.

The new OCVTS Performing Arts Academy will be a 50,000-square-foot building intended to “provide a rigorous education for creatively gifted high school students, (offering) majors in theater, vocal, dance, and audio engineering,” according to their press release. The construction of the building is already underway, and is expected to be completed by December 2019.

Dr. Jon Larson, OCC President, kicked off the ceremony by stating that arts education “aids students in developing skills needed in the workplace,” such as flexibility, development, and communication.

Something special about this innovative

Sanctuary:

Continued From Page 1 undocumented immigrants.”

“The Township Council of the Township of Jackson opposes New Jersey becoming a sanctuary state as New Jersey has some of the highest property taxes in the nation and (Gov. Murphy) and the New Jersey Legislature should be more concerned with reducing spending and property tax reduction for the legal residents and taxpayers of the State of New Jersey.”

Three council candidates present in the audience also applauded the resolution.

new building: it will provide students with credits for college. In collaboration with OCC, OCVTS’s early college program will allow high school students to graduate with a high school diploma and an associate’s degree from OCC at the same time. Students will be exiting high school already halfway to a bachelor’s degree, all for a fraction of the tuition cost of a university degree.

“This is a good deal for everybody,” said Larson to rousing applause from the crowd and present performing arts students.

The PAA is a four-year public high school, currently located at the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. When the announcement of the new academy was made last year, it came as welcome news. The current location is distant and difficult to get to and from. This new facility would put students right on OCC’s campus; it is being built in a section of Parking Lot 2, just in front of the Jay & Linda Grunin Center.

Not only will performing arts students get the advantage of a new, centrally located building,

but OCC students as well, according to Larson.

The facility will also be used for classes at night.

Ocean County Freeholder Joseph Vicari, also liaison to OCC, spoke of the potential for opportunity with the new building during the ceremony. “The young ladies and gentleman that are here today have tremendous opportunities that didn’t exist [before],” he said.

Although the PAA started out as a small group of students, it has grown to approximately 203 students today. OCVTS officials expect this number to grow greatly once the new academy is complete.

“In my 37 years as a county freeholder, this is one day that I will always remember because we’re making the future,” Vicari added.

The Performing Arts Academy is a federally recognized Blue Ribbon school, according to OCVTS superintendent William Hoey; and relocating the students to a state-of-the-art building will give it even more potential.

Although the idea has been floating around for some time to build the new facility, it fi-

nally came to fruition when The Jay & Linda Grunin Foundation made a multi-million dollar donation to the cause, said Hoey. The project will be funded by the state for $10.6 million, Ocean County and the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation will each contribute $8 million, and OCC will provide $2 million.

“PAA students will have access to the college gym, library, several classrooms, the student center, and most importantly, the theaters,” said Hoey, noting that OCC students will also have access to the new facility for night classes, “making it an excellent use of taxpayer dollars.”

Not only will PAA students be studying in a state-of-the-art facility, but they will also receive a great education that will encourage them to develop their own unique needs of expression, “capturing the passions and emotions, and allowing them to explore new ideas, subject matter, and cultures,” said Grunin.

Grunin stated that the PAA project aligns with the “three pillars” of the Grunin Foundation: arts, education, and healthcare.

Republicans Alex Sauickie and Andrew Kern, along with independent Denise Garner, each spoke in support of the resolution.

“The state is taking $2.3 million out of our school system. I find this ridiculous,” Sauickie said.

“This is not about the Dreamers,” Kern said.

He noted that the governor’s plan to create a legal fund for illegal immigrants would cost the state money. “This is about people who have committed crimes but would be let back into the population.”

Garner said “I am in support of this. This would be very bad for all of us. We must protect Jackson.”

Councilman Barry Calogero said he had several strong reasons to oppose the creation of sanctuary states/cities.

He noted that it would condone a crime of illegal immigration, would be an unfair cost to taxpayers and would promote crime.

“It would breed disrespect for the law and tell law enforcement to look away and turn their back on the law. What kind of message does that send?”

Calogero said.

Councilman Scott Martin also addressed the $2.1 million legal fund by Gov. Murphy for the defense of illegal aliens. “That is your money that is going for illegal immigrants.

“If you want to immigrate here do so through a legal process. We have rules of law that everyone should follow. The governor also has plans to issue them driver’s licenses. This is unacceptable.

Gov. Murphy is taking a swipe at us,” he said.

Council President Kenneth Bressi spoke about his daughter having been struck by a vehicle operated by an illegal immigrant. “I will never forget the call we received on Feb. 17, 2001. My daughter (Kristen Bressi-Russo) was run down by an illegal immigrant who was supposed to have been deported. There is no reason to put people at risk like my daughter. She was lucky to survive.”

Voters:

Continued From Page 1 do more. We need these additional officers to give us better coverage of all of our buildings.”

The district has been working with the Jackson Police Department and has added security upgrades. Genco noted during the forum that district is working within a 2 percent budget cap and that the new school security staff positions, which include health benefits, amounts to $411,611. Because school districts in the state must operate within a 2 percent cap on the tax levy, this kind of expense cannot be accomplished within that cap, which is why Jackson voters are being asked to make a decision on the hiring through a special ballot question.

The district currently utilizes security cameras, a locked door buzzer system, school resource officers, armed and unarmed security guards and is in the final phase of installing security vestibules in all buildings.

“As good as our security measures are, it’s not enough,’’ Genco said during the forum.

“We want to provide another layer of security to make our schools as safe as we can for our students and staff. This is a work in progress.”

If approved, some of the six security guards to be added would be carrying concealed weapons. “We don’t want this known to the district as to who is carrying and who is not,” Genco said.

According to the school district, a home assessed at the township average of $327,046, would see an increase their school tax by about $10 per year. If approved, this question would increase the school tax rate by $0.0031 - which is less than one-third of one penny on the tax rate.

“We believe these positions are necessary, but at the end of the day on Nov. 6 it will be up to the voters of Jackson to decide,’’ Genco said previously.

Board members noted that if the ballot question is approved it would result in a permanent increase to the district’s tax levy. This means that voters will not be asked to approve it each year - it will be part of the budget moving forward and the funds approved must be used to fund these positions only.

Police Chief Matthew Kunz previously stated that the township’s police department works closely with the district and shares the same goal of safe and secure schools.

Kunz said that the police department trains its officers on critical incident response and offers the same advanced crisis response training to

all district security team members. “No matter how swift a police department response to a critical incident may be, on-site personnel such as the district security staff will always be the first line of defense, and we support making them the most prepared and best trained they can be,” Kunz said last month.

One resident recommended that the district host a special night to introduce the officers to parents and staff. Another resident questioned the need for the new officers to be hired on a full time basis to which Genco replied was necessary to do to have the officers familiar with the buildings and habits of the schools’ operation.

Genco also answered a question regarding whether those hired would only be from Jackson. “We have two state police officers and we’d have them not only from Jackson.”

The superintendent also stressed that only this question, of the security staff hiring, is a Jackson School District question. “I don’t want people to be confused by the second question that voters will see on the ballot.”

The other question is a state question that will appear on the ballot on Nov. 6 and which will ask voters whether to approve $500 million in new debt for school security, county colleges, vocational schools and water infrastructure.

The constitution requires that new debts obtain voter approval. That means $350 million would be used to fund grants to county vocational school districts and school security projects.

If approved, $50 million would go to county college projects and $100 million would go to support water infrastructure projects across New Jersey’s more than 600 school districts.

Gov. Phil Murphy and the state Legislature approved the bipartisan measure to get the question on the ballot, but not without considerable debate over the amount the bonds should be.

Board members said that those who have questions about the ballot question should visit the Jackson School District website and visit the Jackson Day booth. Residents can also e-mail the district via e-mail at jsd@jacksonsd.org or call the communications office at 732-833-4618.

Board members who are not board candidates will also man a table at Jackson Day on Oct. 27 to explain the purpose of the ballot question and details of its funding.

Board members running for re-election this year include Board President Scott Sergent, Vice Board President Vicki Grasso, and Board member John Barnetsky. Former Board member Gus Acevedo is also running. Three seats are up for grabs with three-year-terms.

Last week, I lost Alice, the love of my life for 35 years, following a four and a half year battle against ovarian cancer with truly inspiring grace and courage.

But beyond all the things we shared together during these years, when we married, as her gift to me I became part of her wonderful and caring family, which sustains me and offers me encouragement now during this difficult time. It is during times like this that we come to realize what a blessing it is to have such people in your life, something which we can easily forget in the course of our day-to-day lives. It is this blessing that I cherish with all my heart, and something of which I will never lose sight.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER A Plea To Voters Across The Aisle An earlier career with its frequent task of reconciliation between opponents, or a married couple in crisis, taught me the crucial need for empathy in all human relationships. I admit I’ve not always been totally consistent in providing this gift of empathy, but I do try quite diligently.

Allow me to give empathy for others some breathing room and a small voice. Although a registered democrat, I’ve occasionally crossed the aisle by voting for a republican, when I considered him or her the better candidate.

In that earlier long-past career, I had fervently believed the vast majority of human beings are people of good will who generally act in good faith. I’d like to believe that again, particularly with regard to my fellow Americans. True, these presumptions of good faith and of good will are very difficult to perceive in these times.

The political zeitgeist feels more like the Civil War-continued!

Nonetheless, citizens of good will and of good faith should come to the realization that the current President is leading the nation into the darkness of autocratic r ule. The Republican majorities in Congress have closed ran ks to

protect, praise and put tot al power i nto t he hands of this one man, who displays ment al aberrations in making compulsive decisions generally aligned with the enhancement of his ego, and not for the good of the hu man beings whom he ought to be leading towards a more perfect union.

If you clear away the smoke and mirrors of polit ical propagand a machines, my sisters a nd brot her s, you’re likely to acknowledge the absolute necessity of checks and balances in national government.

Congress is supposed to be a branch of government equal to the Executive and to the Judicial, not a subsidiary of the Oval Office.

I’m asking voting citizens who happen to be registered Republicans to abandon automatic support for their party this time, and to vote for the good of the nation a nd for t he com mon good.

Because, lacking check s a nd bala nces within Congress and between our three branches of government, we’re inadvertently clearing the road to autocratic rule and the revocation of our Constitution.

Histor y at tests it’s happened before!

I Found An Answer In Stafford Township My heart and my head both ache from the divisiveness and ugliness I am seeing around me. What happened to working together for the greater good?

Well, I am glad to report that I found a small glimmer of hope right here in Stafford Township. Joe Mangino is running for mayor.

According to Joe, this election is not about Democrat or Republican. It’s about doing what’s right for St afford Tow nship.

Building community and getting residents involved is a top priority. A few other priorities include stabilizing our property taxes, cleaning up abandoned properties in town and preparing for extreme weather. I already see Joe everywhere in town supporting Stafford events.

As mayor, he plans to be visible and available to all residents, so he can learn about our ideas and concerns.

Joe and his team have my vote and I invite you to learn more about him and the “Focus On Stafford” team by going to their webpage and Facebook page before going to the polls. And… VOTE. Barbara Reynolds Manahawkin

Anti-Kavanaugh Protesters As someone who has attended the March for Life in Washington for many years, I am shocked at the protests that took place at the Judge Brett Kavanaugh vote. Every year in January thousands upon thousands of people from as far away as Washington State march peacefully from the Washington Monument to the Supreme Court in support of unborn babies. At the March for Life, I’ve never seen the kind of aggression that was exhibited (at the Kavanaugh vote).

People who believe in the sanctity of life from conception to natural death have been frustrated in our efforts to protect the lives of the innocent babies who are murdered in the womb since 1973, but we would never behave like the unhinged lunatics I heard disrupt the vote.

The left will apparently stop at nothing to throw tantrums and cause disruptions when they don’t get their way. I question the mental stability of these folks and fear that this behavior will become the norm for people who don’t agree with decisions they don’t like. Free speech only applies to them all others should have no voice.

The rule of law and innocent until proven guilty only applies to them. It is a shame what has happened in this country, and I fear we’re on the brink of anarchy.

Marion Gillespie Brick

Smith Silent On Human Rights Violations When my mother came here from Co. Kerry just before the start of the Great Depres-

she was really 16. Her brother jumped ship and slipped across the border from Canada into New York where he married a Native American woman. Both my mother and her brother became citizens but they would be deported if they tried this in today’s United States of America.

They came to escape political oppression and to build a better life. Just one generation later, their descendants hold advanced degrees in physics, and are doctors, college professors, air line pilots, teachers, artists and even a Hollywood movie star. However, our family’s story is not unique, (except maybe for the Hollywood movie star).

As a first generation American and a bilingual clinical social worker, I am writing to raise my voice for so many current New Jersey residents who I know and who have come here to work, just like my mother and her brother.

They are not criminals and they are not gang members; rather, they are hard-working heads of families who deserve equal protection under the Constitution, the law of our land.

MY current congressman has been silent about the 58,010 non-criminal immigrants who have been detained by the president in his first fourteen months in office. Moreover, even though my Congressman sits on the Committee for Global Human Rights, he has said nothing about the 13,000 children who have been separated from their families and are still being held in detention centers.

We need an involved representative, someone to take the reins that remain slack in the hands of the current legislators who have failed to provide these residents with a path to citizenship. That I why I will make my voice heard on November 6th and vote for Josh Welle who will be a voice for those hitherto voiceless residents of our great State of New Jersey.

TRENTON - Assemblyman Ron Dancer recently introduced legislation to save towns money by increasing the fee collected for a public defender and the daily credit earned by people who are jailed for

unpaid court fees.

“Property taxpayers end up paying the bill for local courts, and they deserve the most efficient and responsible operations possible,” said Dancer (R-12th).

Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez

WASHI NGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J), a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee, was joined

by Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Senate Finance Committee member Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) in sending a letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin demanding his for-

mal, written recusal from any matters before the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) related to Sears Holding Company. Recently, Sears filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection following the closure of hundreds of stores and layoffs of thousands of employees in the last several years.

Secretary Mnuchin was

Bills Would Ease Burden That Taxpayers Pay To Support Courts, Jails expenses for municipal courts statewide.”

Dancer’s bill (A4435) boosts the maximum fee courts can charge for applying for a public defender to $250 from $200, and makes it easier to qualify for a fee waiver.

Towns are required to provide public defenders and absorb the cost. A mu-

nicipal court can waive the fee if a defendant shows it represents an unreasonable burden.

“This is the fi rst fee increase in more than 20 years and will better help pay for an attorney,” Dancer said.

“The bill lowers the standard of evidence to qualify for a waiver to ensure legal representation for those

who most need public defenders.”

Dancer also sponsored legislation (A4437) to increase the minimum daily credit earned by people imprisoned for unpaid court-imposed fees or motor vehicle fines from $50 to $90 to more accurately reflect the cost to house a county prisoner. The change was rec-

ommended in the report of a Supreme Court committee on municipal court operations released last summer.

“Taxpayers are on the hook when drivers are held because they can’t afford to pay fines,” said Dancer. “Increasing the credit satisfies the debt obligation sooner, reduces jail sentences, and saves public money.”

Secretary Mnuchin Should Recuse From Sears Bankruptcy previously a Director at Sears and owned valuable interests in Sears stock. He also held interests in Seritage - a company that owns Sears’ property - and ESL Partners, a hedge fund that has a controlling stake in Sears.

Furthermore, his college roommate and close friend, Eddie Lampert, is the former Chief Executive Officer and current Chairman of the Board of Sears. These ties create an unavoidable and clear conflict of interest

between Secretary Mnuchin and Sears. The Senators’ letter follows up on questions that Sen. Menendez pressed Secretary Mnuchin during this nomination hearing.

“During your confirmation hearing in January 2017, you committed to recusing yourself from any proceedings before the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) regarding Sears as it relates to your position as a member of the Board of the PBGC,” wrote the Sena-

tors. “Given your statement before the Finance Committee, we are concerned that anything short of full recusal will present a significant conflict of interest and risk bias in any PBGC decisions and actions taken pursuant to Sears defined benefit plans.”

The Senators continued: “As Secretary of the Treasury, you are a member of the PBGC’s Board of Directors. This places you in a position of influence

over decision-making at the PBGC related to the possible termination of Sears’ defined benefit pension plans during any bankruptcy proceedings.”

The Senators also asked for financial information on Secretary Mnuchin’s holdings from last year.

Secretary Mnuchin’s 2017 financial disclosure - which was submitted earlier this year to the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) - has not yet been certified by OGE.

Continued From Page 1 “Commercial growth is next as it affects the financial well-being of the township and as everyone knows has been another long time goal of mine. Since the first ever Business Economic Development Summit that I had introduced in 2011, Jackson has been making strides in attracting clean commercial ratables,” Reina said.

Reina added that shortly after the summit the township was approached by a television network producer to be featured in a nationwide TV show hosted by Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw. “The name of the show was Today in America and it highlights the 10 best places to live, work and play in America. Since that show aired nationally we have been inundated with requests from commercial developers and investors looking to place their venues and opportunities here in Jackson.”

“From casinos and hotels to sports and entertainment centers, we have met developers with very creative ideas. With that being said I am extremely proud and thrilled to say that we finally have reached the point where we can say that it is happening,” Reina said.

Reina said the township has not one but two hotels slated to be built on the Rt. 537 corridor.

Next to it will be one of the largest if not the largest sports and entertainment complexes in the north east. State of the art sports fields, indoor and out, dining, shopping and entertainment are all part of the few hundred-acre complex that has started.

“What this means to Jackson and its residents is jobs, which means increased revenue, which means tax dollars, which means the beginning of moving some of the tax burden off the shoulders of the residents and move it to the commercial side of the scale,” Reina said.

Reina clarified that, “a mayor doesn’t have the legal authority to approve a shed in your yard, let alone a housing development. The law does not provide for mayoral approval of residential or commercial applications - those applications fall under the jurisdiction of the respective Planning or Zoning Board. However, under the Faulkner Act which governs Jackson, the mayor is the only one allowed to sign off on court ordered agreements and settlements - one such example would be COAH (the Counsel On Affordable Housing). My opponents have circulated a fraudulent document intended to create fear on every level imaginable.”

Yostpille said that she was “very concerned about the future of Jackson. I do not agree with Mayor Reina’s housing plan to build 4,960 high density family units by 2025. Our schools, our infrastructure, and our tax base will be burdened by this high-density housing.” She noted that in March of this year, the Township Council had approved a zoning change that authorized a development with 1,100 new homes, including 220 affordable housing units for families, on a site on Perrineville Road. Before the affordable housing plan, the development was age-restricted.

“These massive high-density developments will transform Jackson into a city. We have to take action now to immediately stop this overdevelopment,” Yospille said. “Smart growth for Jackson would be ratables that would not burden our schools. I lived in Lakewood for a time. I saw a thriving diverse community in the 1980s.

Lakewood development now is not smart. I can certainly see why Jackson would develop but we

The Jackson Times, October 27, 2018, Page 9 want it to develop in the right way.”

The candidate said while she has never held an elected office “I was inspired to run because I didn’t have to be backed by a party. I am a registered Democrat but I am not looking for Democrat backing but support from Democrats and Republicans. I can bring my leadership skills to bring the right people in with the right contacts to work together in a non-partisan way,” Yostpille said. “I was also motivated to run by the non-partisan aspect of the election because

this high-density housing issue affects all Jackson residents no matter if you are affiliated with a party or not.”

Yostpille is a 7th grade social studies teacher for the Freehold Township School District. “This is my 31st year of teaching. I have lived in Jackson for 30 years. My husband, his father and my three sister-in-laws have lived in Jackson for 57 years. My mom and stepdad and my step brother and his family live in Jackson. So do my nieces and nephews. I even have two grandnephews at

Holman School,” the candidate said.

“As President of the Freehold Township Education Association, I represent 557 members and have been negotiating contracts for over 20 years. I served on Governor’s Christie’s Education Task force from 2014-16 and I am a member of the MCEA Legislative Action Team. As mayor, I can use this experience working with Republicans and Democrats in state government to fight for the local issues in Jackson,” Yostpille said.

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

Hearing Health Snap Shot

Did you know that your hearing health has a direct effect on your overall health?

Some causes can be natural and others would surprise you. It is important to take an empowered, proactive approach to hearing health during every stage of your life. I would sincerely suggest that you read this column several times and share this information with your friends and family.

Risk Factors Hearing loss is about twice as common in people with diabetes compared to those without the disease. Adults with pre-diabetes, whose blood glucose is higher than normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis, have a 30 percent higher rate of hearing loss compared to those with normal blood sugar. Current smokers are 1.69 times more likely, or have a 70 percent higher risk to have hearing loss than nonsmokers. Studies have shown that a healthy cardiovascular system has a positive effect on hearing.

Conversely, inadequate blood flow and trauma to the blood vessels of the inner ear can contribute to hearing loss.

Hearing Loss In America 1. One in three people over the age of 60 have hearing loss.

2. One in six Baby Boomers (49-68) have hearing loss.

3. One in 14 Generation Xers (37-48) already have hearing loss.

4. One in five teenagers have some type of hearing loss.

5. Hearing aids can reduce the effects of hearing loss by 50 percent

Effects of Hearing Loss on a Patient’s Life Memory and Hearing Loss: Adults with hearing loss are more likely to develop problems thinking and remembering than adults with normal hearing. Degraded hearing may force the brain to devote too much of its energy to processing sound. Adults with hearing loss develop a significant impairment in their cognitive abilities 3.2 years sooner than those with normal hearing. Those with hearing loss experience a 30-40 percent greater decline in thinking abilities compared to their counterparts without hearing loss.

Dementia and Hearing Loss: Seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing.

Adults with moderate hearing loss are 3 times more likely to develop dementia and those with severe hearing loss are 5 times more likely to develop dementia.

Mental Health and Hearing Loss: Hearing loss results in social isolation.

Adults with untreated hearing loss tend to withdraw from engaging with family and friends. Adults, 50 and older, with untreated hearing loss are more likely to report depression, anxiety, anger and frustration, emotional instability and paranoia, and are less likely to participate in social activities than those who wear hearing aids. The degree of depression and other emotional or mental health issues also increases with the severity of the hearing loss.

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!

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

6 Surprising Benefits Of Dandelion Weeds

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Dandelion greens might be considered a weed, but this potent plant contains an impressive arsenal of nutritious compounds that you may want to your diet. I’m referring to dandelions as in Taraxacum officinale.

This notoriously bitter weed is packed with protein, minerals, and more vitamin C than spinach. The entire plant is actually edible, though I’ve never eaten the whole thing, just the leaves. Some people literally harvest the yellow flowers before they open and fry them up in a pan with garlic, butter and other seasonings.

Dandelion is very easy to harvest, remember it’s kind of like a weed, it grows everywhere! And interestingly, this inexpensive plant is also sold at health food stores, especially in the produce section where it’s usually near the collard greens and kale. Here are 7 reasons to take dandelion: Aids the digestive system: The plant is a mild diuretic, making you urinate more than normal. It can improve the functioning of the pancreas, stomach, kidneys, and spleen without depleting your body’s potassium stores. Diuretics are known to reduce blood pressure. With dandelions, the two compounds that work in this capacity are chicoric and chlorogenic acid.

Good source of antioxidants: You can thank the dandelion’s bitter taste for its antioxidant properties which clean your blood. If you can get used to more bitter foods (and less sugary ones), then your detox pathways that operate in your liver will thank you with better health.

Can Aid Weight Loss: Though the facts are still forthcoming, there is evidence today

that consuming dandelions can support weight loss by improving your fat-burning rate and metabolism, and simultaneously reducing fat absorption. It’s due to the presence of chlorogenic acid- a compound also found in coffee.

Helps Fight Inflammation: Could eating flowers help you with arthritis? Probably not, but its fun to think that way. I like herbal remedies that reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNF alpha.

Dandelion does this very thing, helping you reduce risk for heart attack, cancer and diabetes.

Can help control blood sugar: Two biologically active phytochemicals in dandelions (specifically, the chicoric and chlorogenic acid) show evidence of controlling blood sugar by regulating your pancreas’s insulin production.

Useful as a skin treatment: Applying a leaf and flower extract immediately before or after intense sun exposure seems to reduce overall skin damage. Dandelion-containing creams or poultices reduce skin irritation and may help with acne.

Fresh dandelion greens can be used in fresh salads, sandwiches, smoothies, and teas. If they’re too bitter, make a fifty-fifty mix of dandelions with a subtler green like spinach or Swiss chard.

You could make a tea, or buy a commercially prepared teabag. You could also sauté the dandelion greens with some sweet fruits like pineapple. While dandelions are considered a safe plant for most people, there are a few reported incidences of adverse reactions. People with ragweed allergies are sensitive to dandelions, so please avoid if that’s the case.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Drone Rules What Are The Rules When Flying Drones For Fun?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Michael J. Deem, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates Fly for Fun under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft!

You don’t need permission from the FAA to fly your UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, but you must always fly safely. You may elect to register your UAS to help in the recovery of lost equipment, but this is not required.

The FAA has adopted the following UAS Safety Guidelines: •Fly at or below 400 feet •Be aware of airspace requirements and restrictions •Stay away from surrounding obstacles •Keep your UAS within sight •Never fly near other aircraft, especially near airports •Never fly over groups of people •Never fly over stadiums or sports events •Never fly near emergency response efforts such as fires •Never fly under the influence of drugs or alcohol Flying under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft.

The Special Rule for Model Aircraft (P.L. 112-95, Section 336) provides the definition and operating rules for flying a model aircraft. Model aircraft operators that comply with all of these operational requirements during flight do not have to register their UAS with the FAA. Model aircraft operators must follow these rules to fly under this Rule: •the aircraft is flown strictly for hobby or recreational use (once you start earning money from the use of the drone you have removed yourself from this exception); •the aircraft is operated in accordance with a community-based set of safety guidelines and within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization; •the aircraft is limited to not more than 55 pounds unless otherwise certified through a design, construction, inspection, flight test, and operational safety program administered

by a community-based Michael J. Deem organization; •the aircraft is operated in a manner that does not interfere with and gives way to any manned aircraft; and •when flown within 5 miles of an airport, the operator of the aircraft provides the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower (when an air traffic facility is located at the airport) with prior notice of the operation (model aircraft operators flying from a permanent location within 5 miles of an airport should establish a mutually-agreed upon operating procedure with the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower [when an air traffic facility is located at the airport]) A model aircraft is defined as an unmanned aircraft that is capable of sustained flight in the atmosphere, flown within visual line of sight of the person operating the aircraft and flown for hobby or recreational purposes.

UAS Registration.

If you do not operate exclusively under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, you must: Register your UAS if it weighs more than 0.55 pounds and less than 55 pounds Label your UAS (PDF) with your registration number and Read and understand all safety guidelines Registration costs $5 and is valid for 3 years. If you are flying under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft and you wish to register voluntarily, you should register as a “modeler.” If you are flying under part 107, Section 333, part 91, a public COA, or for non-recreational purposes in general, you should register as a “non-modeler.”

In order to register, you must be: 13 years of age or older (if the owner is less than 13 years of age, a person 13 years of age or older must register the small unmanned aircraft) A U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Nurturing Oils & Immune Support For The Autumn Season

By Grace Orosz, RN-BC, CCAP Integrative Registered Nurse, Certified Clinical Aromatherapist Honestly, I cannot really say which season I prefer the most. I do know that it’s NOT Winter! With autumn just around the bend, I look forward to my yearly drive up to the Catskills to see all the fall colors and go apple picking.

I am hoping that nature will bring some vibrant reds, golds and rusts to paint the landscape for autumn! Especially after the rainy summer we have had.

There is a welcome crispness to the air, freshness on the skin and a deep connection to nature while taking a hike through the woods. Plan to take a walk in the woods. “Just be” there and fully soak in and experience your surroundings. It will surely lift your spirits, clear your mind and enhance your immune system.

One of my fondest memories is the October of 2013, when my dear mother and I took a fall Foliage Cruise up the New England Coast to Halifax. It was really unplanned, a very spontaneous adventure. I rented a lightweight wheelchair, as she couldn’t walk long distances anymore and she tired easily. She didn’t like that chair, but was grateful that we had it anyway. We enjoyed all the fall festivities at each stop along the way.

Indulging in many seasonal goodies like pumpkin and cinnamon treats, gingersnaps and hot apple cider. Who knew that would be our last trip together. I am forever grateful for the gift of that special time with her. My mom and I always baked, and that time of year I fondly remember the warming spicy smells that filled our home. It is amazing to me how a simple scent can change our moods and emotions in about 1/50 of a second.

My spirit is filled with gratitude when a scent recalls those wonderful memories.

Aromatherapy is truly magical!

My other memory of the fall growing up was a yearly case of bronchitis or upper respirator y infection. Like clockwork, at the end of September through mid-October my immune system crashed. The temperature shift of the fall season permits different groups of v i r uses, i nclud i ng i n f luen za , to f lourish. We need some extra immune suppor t to st ay healthy du r ing this season. Many essential oils can help to keep you and your home environment healthy and happy.

Since I regularly diffuse essential oils in my home, I would like share with you some of the nurturing scents that warm and comfort my spirit during the fall season, these also provide great immune support. Thankfully, I am happy to report that I rarely get sick this time of year.

You will need an ultrasonic cool mist diffuser. Preferably, with an automatic shut off. Add water to the “fill line” on your particular diffuser. Generally they hold 100ml – 300ml.

Cinnamon Bark (Cinnamomum verum): supports immune activity and provides powerful protection against viral infections and contagious diseases. (Do not apply on the skin.) You need only one drop of this oil in any blend you create or it could be overpowering.

Wild Orange (Capparis mitchellii): Citrus in an incredibly uplifting and purifying scent. This can ward off any cold symptoms and support your immune system, especially with the change to cooler temperatures.

Frankincense (Boswellia cartieri): is a strong immune stimulant and antibacterial. Traditionally, it has been used to treat respiratory conditions like asthma and bronchitis. It also helps to warm and alleviate nervous tension.

Rosemar y (Rosmarinus off icinalis): Rosemary (chemotype 1,8- cineole) is highly recommended for any respiratory ailments. It also promotes clarity of mind and invigorates the spirit.

Ravensara (Ravensara aromatic): This has excellent antiviral properties, particularly for inf luenza. A must have for the f lu season.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale): This is ver y war m and strengthening to the immune system. It is recommended for coughs and sore throats. The essential oil is NOT to be taken internally. For a ginger tea, use the whole ginger root.

Atlas Cedarwood (Cedr us atlantica): This has an intense warm, woody scent.

Known for positive effects on respiratory system. It relieves chest congestion and serves as an expectorant. It can be comforting emotionally and promote calmness and a deeper sleep.

Add 2-4 drops of any of these oils to the water in your diffuser. You can blend whatever combination brings you that warmth and comfort.

Be mindful of what your body, mind and spirit needs this autumn season.

Social Security Recipients To See COLA Increase

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – While a 2.8 percent increase in Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for Ocean County seniors relying on Social Security is a positive step, it is not enough, according to Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari.

Out of the almost 173,000 seniors living in Ocean County, there were 126,255 seniors aged 65 and older in Ocean County receiving Social Security as of December 2017. Studies show that the average Social Security benefit provides an elderly person living alone in Ocean County only 54 to 76 percent of the amount needed to cover basic expenses.

According to Vicari, a higher COLA would better serve the vast senior population in the county.

“While this Cost of Living Adjustment is better than past years when there had been no increase, our seniors would be better served by a higher COLA,” said Vicari, who is Chairman of Senior Services in Ocean County. “With one of the highest percentages of seniors in the country, it is my priority to make sure Social Security is maintained and preserved. It’s also important our seniors receive an ample benefit from a program most have paid into all of their working days.”

Ocean County seniors can also receive as-

sistance from the county’s Office of Senior Services. For example, the senior nutrition program provides 1,100 meals a day to seniors including the home delivered meal program, said Vicari.

“Ocean County continues to appropriate funds for senior services that help keep our seniors independent,” he added. “The Board of Freeholders made sure there is no waiting list for this very important program.

It’s imperative that all levels of government assist in providing our aging populations with programs and services that will make their lives better and keep them out of nursing homes and hospitals.”

More than 67 million Americans will see

a 2.8 percent increase in 2019, according to Social Security, Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. The Social Security Act ties the annual COLA to the increase in the Consumer Price Index as determined by the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“Social Security plays a key financial role in the lives of our seniors…Yet statistics show our seniors are hardly, if at all, getting by on it should it be their main income source,” Vicari said.

Balance and Physical Therapy

B

By: Jennifer Vadas, DPT, Jackson Facility Manager

alance plays a key role in the vast majority of typical activities we perform throughout our day. Whether it is reaching for a dish, standing while talking to a neighbor, or swinging a golf club; the importance of maintaining the highest functional level of balance cannot be understated.

Balance tends to decline as we age; which puts older adults at an increased risk for falls, and subsequent injury. However, difficulties with varying levels of balance can affect people at all ages. Impairments in balance can often be a secondary effect of many other conditions, including stroke, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and neuropathy; just to name a few.

There are multiple systems of the body that impact balance; they include the visual, somatosensory, vestibular, and musculoskeletal systems. The visual system plays a role in balance by allowing you to see any obstacles in your path, and react accordingly. The brain also receives visual signals to help perceive how the body is oriented in regards to its surroundings. The somatosensory system includes tactile sensation (touch), and proprioception (positional awareness).

Tactile sensation in our feet allows us to feel them on the ground below us. This allows us to be aware of any changes in the surface we are walking on. Our proprioceptive system allows us to understand the position of our joints, this is particularly important in our ankles in order to be aware of any postural sway and react accordingly to correct balance.

The vestibular system is located in the inner ear; it functions in balance by detecting movements of the head. This allows for clear vision with motion, and maintaining upright positioning. The musculoskeletal system involves our muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments. It is important to maintain good flexibility and strength in our muscles; as they help to stabilize in balance tasks.

If muscles are overly tight, they will be unable

to allow for motion required to move correctly, or to compensate if you are losing your balance.

Maintaining good muscular strength is important throughout the body. Our postural muscles (i.e. those in the shoulder, back, and abdominals) help to sustain optimal positioning for good balance.

Lower extremity strength, from the hips down to the ankles, is important to preserve stability in both static (standing still) and dynamic (moving) tasks. Should one of these systems become compromised, it is important that the remaining function at the highest possible level to overcome that deficit.

Physical therapy can be utilized to rehabilitate areas that have been weakened or injured and to increase the functional level of the others. For example, in a patient with visual impairments, physical therapy can be utilized to improve the function of the vestibular system; as well as increase muscular strength and flexibility. Physical therapy allows you to challenge your balance and perform activities that are difficult, while in a safe setting with professionals who can properly cue you for methods to better perform these activities. Your therapist will perform a comprehensive examination to determine where your particular deficits lie, and will then establish a program focusing on your individual needs. Programs tend to encompass all areas that impact balance; including stretching muscles that are overly tight, strengthening those that are weak, using varied surfaces/directions of movement, performing tasks with eyes closed, and decreasing base of support. There is also a focus on incorporating functional tasks into therapy treatments. A common complaint we hear from people who are coming to therapy for balance is they find they have increased difficulty maintaining their balance while walking in crowds, or in grocery stores when trying to look for objects. Therapy will mimic these scenarios by providing patient

with perturbations (similar to being jostled in a crowd), and teaching appropriate reaction strategies.

Another common exercise is having a patient walk while both nodding and turning their heads, similar to what we do in a grocery store to look for the box of cereal we want while still moving down the aisle. These are just a few examples of the many activities a patient may perform in therapy as part of a balance training program.

It is extremely important to feel safe and confident with functional mobility to uphold a high quality of life. Having feelings of limitations in balance will decrease the possibility of this. Fortunately, there are treatment options available to improve balance and mobility, to uphold your personal lifestyle goals.

–Photo by Bob Vosseller One of the many people who marched in last year’s parade.

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – This will be the 80th – yes, 80th - Halloween parade in Toms River.

It’s the second largest in the world, and it will be on Oct. 31, unless it has to be postponed until Nov. 1. It starts at 7 p.m.

Spectators should line up south of Highland Parkway. The parade will flow south on Route 9, make a left onto Washington Street, and end at Hooper Avenue.

If you want to put your chair out on the side of the road, do so only on Oct. 31.

They must be secured so the wind doesn’t blow them into the street.

Parking is available at the county garage on Hooper Avenue or in the Toms River library’s garage. You can also park along any side street, but you must not block any driveways or fire hydrants. The parade streets will be closed down at 5:30 p.m.

“From what the weather looks like, dress warmly,” said Carl Weingroff, chairman of the parade committee for Toms River Fire Company No. 1, which

runs it.

All marching bands in Toms River are expected to attend, as well as the high schools in Manchester and Central Regional. The Shamrock & Thistle band is also attending, he said.

Judges will award first and second places in a variety of categories, such as scout organization, and age brackets.

Last year, the youngest person in the parade was six months old, and the oldest was 98, he said. So, it truly is for all ages.

If you can’t make it there, the parade will be streaming live on the Toms River School’s Channel 21’s Facebook channel.

Afterward, the parade will be broadcast on television.

If you want to be in the parade, registration is only on the day of the parade. Starting at 8 a.m., you can come down to the firehouse at 26 Robbins St. For more information, especially about if you intend to be in it, visit trfc1.org/ halloween.html.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of OCT 27 - NOV 2

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let distractions develop into a debate. Focus your attention on your own important projects in the week ahead despite interruptions and attention-seeking companions. Enjoy being a team leader, not just a player.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be as flexible as a pretzel but use a light hand with the salt. An idea that seems worthwhile may seem impractical by the end of the week. Take time to re-evaluate your situation and adapt long-term objectives as necessary.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can never stand in the same river twice. The more you try to stop progress the more likely it will rush past you this week. Focus your efforts on reaching tangible, realistic goals rather than floating away on flights of fancy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):Apositive attitude uplifts relationships. While romantic moments may not be perfect, you’ll be in far too good of a mood in the week to come to notice the imperfections. Write down impressive ideas, lest they be lost forever.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Test the waters one toe at a time. Experiment only if it is expedient.

Find common ground with others as you share new and exciting experiences in the week ahead. Take good advice to heart as it may provide the answers you need.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are in your comfort zone when you think outside the box and approach problems from an unorthodox perspective.

There’s no obstacle you can’t conquer if you simply think the problem though or share your ideas with others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A rolling stone gathers no moss. Keep the moss away by pursuing unique and creative activities this week. You may be able to turn an imaginative idea into a profitable enterprise if you can avoid being waylaid by interruptions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Putting out minimum effort will yield huge rewards. Take advantage of any inside information you hear about by acting on it right away. You can get ahead this week by simply keeping your eyes and ears open for valuable information.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take advantage of times when life is good, and people are kind.

Family members appreciate your wisdom and may come to you for advice this week. Your insights may encourage others to take the most appropriate steps.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Make sure everyone gets their fair share in the week to come.

Remain equitable when dividing the spoils and you’ll keep everyone happy. A new study or interest can prompt you to change your long-term goals.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The week ahead may offer you many opportunities to mend fences and engage in heartfelt apologies. Rethink how you’re dealing with personal or financial situation as that could offer a clue as how to set things right.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The more the merrier is your motto. A close friend or loved one may require your support to see their plans through.

Offer your services to the well-deserving in the week ahead and tag along for the ride whenever possible.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Keep Summer Memories Alive With An Ice Cream Version Of An Old Soda Shop Favorite

By Wolfgang Puck WHITE CHOCOLATE MALTED MILK ICE CREAM Makes about 1 1/2 quarts (1.5 L) 2 cups (500 mL) whole milk 2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream 8 large egg yolks 10 ounces (300 g) good-quality white chocolate, broken or cut into small chunks 1/2 cup (125 mL) malted milk powder Combine the milk and cream in a large, heavy saucepan. Place the pan over medium-high heat and, as soon as the liquid comes to a boil, remove the pan from the heat.

Put the egg yolks in a large stainless-steel mixing bowl and stir them briskly with a wire whisk until smooth. While whisking the yolks continuously and briskly, slowly and carefully pour in the hot milk-cream mixture. Once all the milk and cream have been incorporated, return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally

and making sure that the whisk makes contact with the bottom and sides of the pan, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.

Put the white chocolate in a microwave-proof bowl. Cover the bowl with a paper towel, put it in the microwave, and cook for 30 seconds.

Remove the bowl, and stir the mixture. Repeat the process one to three times more, just until the chocolate is smoothly melted.

Whisk the melted chocolate into the hot ice cream mixture. Pour 1 cup (250 mL) of the liquid into a heatproof measuring cup, sprinkle in the malted milk powder, and stir until it is completely dissolved. Return the malted mixture to the saucepan, and stir well.

Pour the mixture through a fi ne-meshed strainer into a large heatproof mixing bowl.

Set the bowl inside a larger bowl containing ice and water and chill it, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is completely cooled.

Transfer the mixture to an ice cream machine, and freeze it following the manufacturer’s directions.
