Jackson Day Serves as 175th Birthday Celebration Page 6.

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON - Members of the Board of Education had hoped to approve the appointment of a new member to fill a vacant position on the Board during its Sept. 18 meeting but that appointment was postponed.

“Originally we felt we could name that person tonight,” Superintendent Stephen Genco said. Board members interviewed several applicants prior to the evening’s meeting but one who had expressed interest could not make it.

“We will wait until we can interview that person,” Genco said. The Board is expected to announce a replacement during its Oct. 16 meeting. The Board is seeking a replacement for Vicki Grasso who resigned

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON - This year’s Jackson Day served as more than a large showcase of entertainment, food, children’s games and awareness of the community’s various organizations, it also served as a place of celebration for its 175th birthday.

More than a thousand people turned out between 11 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on Sept 28 to the vast fields of the John F. Johnson Memorial Park for the event which experienced perfect weather.

More than 100 vendors were featured and the day’s fun included a touch a truck area, children’s games and an inf latable bounce attraction, horse drawn carriage rides, a beer

and wine tent, a craft fair and f lea market plus a car show. Three musical groups, Radio Nashville, Amish Outlaws and Mello Kings provided entertainment throughout the day.

The members of the award-winning Jackson Memorial High School Band performed the Star-Spangled Banner.

Tim McCue and his 4-year-old daughter Isabella traveled from Bayville for the event.

They didn’t wait for the 11 a.m. start of the event to enjoy an ice cream cone for what would be a warm day.

“I love the activities and the vibe here. We come every year,” McCue said.

George and Josephine Corbiscello were sitting beside each other but

representing two different organizations.

Both, however, have a mutual interest in the township’s history and are advocates for the Township’s Historical Commission which is seeking to restore the township’s old Prospertown School house.

“The schoolhouse is falling apart,” said Josephine Corbiscello, a member of the community’s historic commission. She recalled the structure’s transfer off Six Flags Great Adventure property decades ago.

“It was going to be torn down but thankfully it was moved.

Great Adventure gave the school to the town with the understanding it would be preserved and cared for. It was

built in 1830,” Josephine Corbiscello said.

The school was moved to the municipal center and is financed by donations. During its recent past it was discovered that a water pipe had burst and the basement was under water resulting in mold growth.

She manned a table filled with historic photographs and artifacts from Jackson’s past.

Her husband George is a member of the Jackson Rotary Club.

“It will cost $20,000 to clear out just the mold,” George Corbiscello said. The couple is hopeful that through grants and volunteer work, the historic site can be restored.

Forum Seeks Solution To Opioid Epidemic

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER - A panel of five experts addressed the crisis of opioid addiction using the township as a lens for a much broader state-wide and national problem.

The event was the third in a series of meetings called “Knock Out Opioid Abuse Town Hall” that featured local experts who discussed the issue and solutions through their own experiences and perspectives.

The Sept. 25 forum held at the Toms River branch of the Ocean County Library, included Township Mayor Thomas Kelaher, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer, Hope Sheds Light Volunteer Coordinator Heather Price, Holy Cross Lutheran Church Pastor Rev. Susan S. Jones, and Toms River resident and Hope Sheds Light Co-Founder Beverly Prima.

Clerk and historian David T. Miller, Sr. states on the township’s website that in 1844, and in honor of ex-President Andrew Jackson, Jackson Township was incorporated by the state legislature as a new municipality in Monmouth County by taking portions of Freehold, Upper Freehold and Dover Township. Initially the new Jackson encompassed 170 square miles and included Plumsted Township.

Although it has dwindled during the years, as other municipalities were created by the Legislature, to 100.4 square miles, it remains the largest municipality in Ocean County and the third largest in the state. Agriculture was the main industry of Jackson Township’s population prior to 1955.

Members of the Cornerstone Presbyterian Church were sharing their own history at Jackson Day. Their table featured several photo albums filled with photographs of their renovation work that made their dream of having a permanent church location a reality. Their historic church is located at 569 Harmony Road.

Allyson Moyer, the church’s youth advisor said that the church enjoyed its grand opening on Harmony Road in November of 2018 and that they held their services at the Christa McAuliffe Middle School on Hope Chapel Road prior to that. She said the parish has roots back to the Harmony Methodist Church and renovation work began in 2012 after 17 years of worship services held in township schools.

PDFNJ Executive Director Angelo Valente said prior to the meeting that “we’re seeing progress in that there is greater awareness of this epidemic and residents are being very proactive about the presence of opioid addiction which

“We have a bell from 1886 which we ring each Sunday and we were given a stainedglass window that was perfectly preserved.

The building was built in 1865. Our history is amazing,” Moyer said.

Council Vice President Barry Calogero joined councilmen Kenneth J. Bressi, Alex Sauickie III and Andrew Kern for the opening ceremonies, each sporting their black polo shirts featuring the 175th celebration logo.

“The spirit of Jackson is alive and well today and we have a lot of people here enjoying our special day,” Calogero said.

“This is another wonderful event in a long list of fall events in the township. It is great to be a part of the 175th celebration year,” Sauickie said.

“It is a good event and it shows the unity we have here and there is more to that then people realize,” Bressi added.

Joining the councilmen on stage were 12th District Assemblymen Ronald S. Dancer and Robert D. Clifton. Township Business Administrator Terence Wall welcomed everyone to the day’s many activities. “On behalf of Mayor Michael Reina, welcome to the 175th anniversary of Jackson Township.”

The township’s Republican and Democrat clubs were out in force reminding residents about the November general election. There is no municipal election this year. Members of the township GOP club had a life-sized cardboard cutout of President Donald Trump that people could be photographed beside while members of the Democratic Club gave out pamphlets explaining the U.S. Constitution. was not the case five years ago.

“We still need to break down the stigma that still exists. There are no easy answers for solving the opioid epidemic, but together we can make a difference in this important fight,” Valente added.

Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, through its philanthropic arm, The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey, is collaborating with PDFNJ on a new twoyear Knock Out Opioid Abuse initiative to address the opioid epidemic through community outreach, prescriber education, parent education and a statewide awareness campaign.

Development Meeting Fallout Board member Gus Acevedo said during the board member comment period that he was distressed by commentary that linked his name to a controversial subject in the township. Acevedo, two members of the township’s Zoning Board of Adjustment and one member of the township Planning Board attended an Aug. 15 meeting of a group called Citizens United to Protect our Neighborhoods (CUPON).

Resident Elenor Hannum, who organized the CUPON meeting, described CUPON as an advocacy group, focusing on development issues. It was the first meeting.

The local group is the 13th chapter of a larger group that formed in Rockland, New York several years ago.

Dr. Sheldon Hofstein, who served on the Zoning Board of Adjustment for 11 years resigned on Aug. 26 while fellow member Joseph Sullivan resigned on Aug. 23, the same date that Planning Board member Richard Egan resigned from his board.

All three had attended that meeting.

During a Sept. 10 Jackson Council meeting Hofstein, Sullivan and Egan publicly stated they had been asked by members of the council to resign. The reasoning for that request was based on the presumption that their attendance at

The Jackson Times, October 5, 2019, Page 5 the CUPON meeting presented a potential conflict of interest: in their respective board roles, they would be called upon to vote on applications involving development projects.

As the township is currently battling several lawsuits involving development project denials of the Orthodox Jewish community, the subject of development in the township has become a contentious issue.

Acevedo, who spoke at the CUPON meeting, was secretly recorded during the meeting as was Hofstein, Sullivan and Egan. Their comments were included in several blog posts in The Lakewood Scoop.

One post recorded Acevedo saying, “the more obstructive you are to them, the more delays they have, the more expenditures they have and the less easy it becomes for them.” He also advised any residents who spoke at public meetings to make sure that what they say, which would be documented, was factual and ethical.

Marc H. Zitomer of the law f ir m Schenck, Price, Smith and King, Florham Park represents the school district and stated on Sept. 4 that “Mr. Acevedo attended the meeting in question in his capacity as a private citizen of Jackson and not as a representative of the Board of Education. Therefore, we do not see this as Board of Education matter.”

Acevedo denied making any disparaging remarks about any religious group and during the Sept. 18 School Board meeting

said he resented any inference that he was anti-Semitic.

“I do not like my name tied to anything negative and will not allow my name to be dragged down,” Acevedo said.

Smooth Start To School Year In other board business, Vice Board President Sharon Dey said “we had a terrific start to the new school year and I feel it will get progressively better.”

The Transportation Department is currently without a director. John T. Griffiths is set to take over in that role in a few months. Griffiths currently heads the Edison Township School District Transportation Department.

“Tammy Dalton, our acting director of transportation, did very well with our opening,” Genco said.

Genco reported that there was no news on the district’s joint lawsuit with other school districts against the state, calling for restored state aid funding.

“The numbers were skewed to begin with, as the appraisals used to base it on were from 2009. It is not an accurate approach and we are trying to get them (the state) to recognize that,” Genco said.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F eatured L etter Mourning Trees Lost To A Closed Store I’m really bummed at the soon-to-be closing of Whiting’s Walgreens. It’s not that I care about the store itself but I think of those two huge, stately, lovely pine trees which “had” to come down to clear the path for the store. They took decades to grow and now they’re gone forever, all because of a chain’s ar rogant miscalculation that they could prosper right across the street from a firmly established CVS, and in an area where residents have many, many varied options for pharmacies.

I’m no “tree hugger,” mind you. I’m not one who would’ve chained myself to the trees while r e cit i ng “ Wo o d m a n , Spare That Tree” and listening to “King of Trees”

by Cat Stevens, had I known in advance that the trees were coming down!

What I am is a Bible-believing Christian who believes God has given man dominion over the earth but we MUST be good stewards of our resources that He has loaned to us.

I was sad when the trees came down a few years

ago but now that Walgreens is going, my sadness has turned to anger.

“Thanks,” Walgreens... those amazing trees were already on the corner of Healthy and Happy before you came along! And this is coming from someone who is politically conservative and a capitalist who had his own business up north for 35 years.

And now that you’re going, Walgreens, I have a question for you. Can you put those trees back?

(Not the midget ones you planted, but “those” trees you took down.)

I didn’t think so!

“Walls Of Green” You loveliest Walls of Green along came a chain, saw no beauty...nothing serene They decided the Walls must fall And now they are moving on and now, you’re forever gone...

Letters To The Editor Trump Is Exactly Who Media Says He Is

In response to Carole A. Weidmuller of Manchester (“Silent Majority Should Stand Up Vs. Media Bias,” Sept. 14, 2019) I must totally disagree with her false narrative. First and foremost in your first paragraph, you make statements that Leftists and the Media show contempt and hatred for Trump.

You also state that we continue to espouse the same talking points which you say are belligerent, nasty, slanderous, bigoted etc etc.

So let me educate you just a little. First of all let’s start from the beginning when he was running for president.

He told Billy Bush when you’re famous you can do anything you want. You can grab women by the p***y.

Very Presidential don’t you think? On more than one occasion he has cursed on stage in front of children.

He also has caused the people who back him to behave in violence. This is not fake news. There is plenty of news footage to verify.

Another thing I must point out to you is your lack of saying anything that backs up your whining. You say this media station spews this or this other media says that. But nowhere in your entire letter do you state one fact.

Now let’s get to draining the swamp. Trump has done nothing. Unless you want to call giving the most wealthiest people tax breaks while giving the middle-class squat. Farmers are hurting tremendously due to his tariffs and another fact (I know you just love facts) we the people will be paying for the tariffs.

Trump also wants to cut Social Security and Medicare. Gee, what a great President, that is if you’re filthy rich.

As far as President Obama.

How quick you forget the mess George W. Bush left this country and the fantastic job Obama did getting our economy back on track.

Letters To The Editor Most of the kudos Trump these very important con-

Where’s The Tax Plan?

got at the beginning of his Presidency was only due to the work done by Obama.

Now things are falling apart. Because of Trump for the first time the deficit will surpass $1 trillion.

Trump has proven without a doubt his hatred for immigrants especially those of Hispanic background.

His ties to Russia and Putin will eventually be found out. Now the AG’s of New York are subpoenaing his tax records for the last 8 years. Something the con artist had promised to do years ago.

Lastly, don’t look at FoxNewless, CNN, MSNBC, or anything related to Sinclair.

Do real research and I guarantee you that you will find Trump to be the dirty con artist he truly is.

cerns and they are finally being addressed. Mayor Amato stepped up to the plate recently as Aqua NJ announced their latest proposed rate increase. Mayor Amato testified before the Rate Counsel and made the case in strong opposition to this increase to protect Berkeley residents.

I’m returning the favor today by declaring my support for Mayor Amato and the Berkeley Township Council.

I urge all Berkeley Township voters to cast their vote this year for Mayor Carmen Amato and his team!

Michael Sachs Jackson

I am a long time resident of Brick Township and I have known John Catalano for many years. I feel that everyone should know the John that I know.

John is one of the most intelligent and considerate people I know. He is someone who always goes out of his way to help others. He owns a small business in Brick and his dedication and involvement in the Bobby Buecker Memorial Foundation and the Brick Kiwanis shows that he is a man of service and integrity who truly wants the best for Ocean County and New Jersey. His great mind for business has led him to making smart decisions and success.

I am so happy that John is running for the 10th Legislative Assembly seat along with Assemblyman Greg McGuckin, who already has a proven track record. We need representatives like John and Greg in Trenton representing our principles and needs.

I hope you will go to the polls on Tuesday, November 5th and vote for Greg McGuckin and John Catalano for Assembly. They are absolutely the right choice!

Monmouth County Freeholders need board members with fresh perspectives. That is why I am voting for Moira Nelson and Michael Penna.

Penna is a dedicated educator who works with special needs and “at risk” children, while Nelson, a small business owner, is a leader in substance abuse prevention and both Penna and Nelson are committed to increasing social service funding. For example, they support expanding substance abuse programs, particularly those aiming to reduce the opioid crisis, such as harm reduction approaches.

Penna and Nelson are concerned about the environment and advocate long-term, regional environmental planning, including flood mitigation and storm water management.

They also will address the issue that Monmouth County’s landfill is nearing capacity and will implement long-term “green” waste management solutions to this problem.

As Monmouth County citizens, both are keenly aware of how expensive County taxes are. As Freeholder Board members they will push for an operational audit of each county department and cut the fat.

I hope you will join me and vote for Nelson and Penna.

Amato Looks Out For Residents You see and hear so many stories about big businesses raising rates and fees on the general public with little or no regard on public impact or overall quality. These kinds of stories aren’t just for the national or regional news, but it is one for local headlines - in the case of Aqua NJ and Berkeley Township.

Aqua Water was looking to increase its rate by almost 19% (18.7 to be exact).

For years, I have attended public meetings where the discussion was about the poor water quality the town was experiencing. It was found that there was a high concentration of iron present in the water supply.

Many residents were very concerned over this issue.

I am happy to say my town officials were just as concerned with these water issues. Mayor Carmen Amato and the entire Berkeley Council spent years applying pressure on the water company to address

Catalano Is Good For Brick

This letter was written to Wayne Lewis, who announced his candidacy for New Jersey Assembly in the 9th District.

I read your letter announcing your candidacy for the NJ Assembly. Just one thing was missing. Nowhere in your letter did you state what is most important to the citizens of New Jersey: Your plans to lower taxes!

If you really want to end the “mass exodus” the lowering citizens tax burden would be the place to start.

Continued From Page 4 going to one community in the county and drilling down on what is happening there, what the services available are and what needs to be added or expanded upon.

It impacts everyone, the people we work with and socialize with. This is a disease and there is suffering.

“There are two main goals, prevention which means educating the public as to what an opioid is, and the other part is treatment and recovery and that is crucial.

We try to connect them with services on the local level. We work with agencies of government, the medical community and groups like Hope Sheds Light,” Valente said.

Last year, Ocean County’s 217 drug overdose deaths - most of which involved some form of opioid - ranked fourth among New Jersey’s 21 counties, according the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General.

Law enforcement officers administered the overdose antidote, naloxone, 811 times that same year.

Mayor Kelaher said “it is very frustrating as a mayor and former Ocean County Prosecutor to see this. We work with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force and our police department formed a unit of its own.”

Kelaher noted that the township has seen 30 opioid deaths so far this year.

“The total was 40 last year and we have 144 cases where Narcan was used. We do everything we can to stop it but we can’t do it alone.”

“The numbers are down and we are working hard. Events like this raise community awareness,” Billhimer said.

“Partnerships like this are key. You can’t arrest your way out of this. We reach out to groups like Hope Sheds Light which is fantastic.”

“I didn’t want to admit I was an addict.

It was while I was in treatment that I received word that the state was going to take my daughter. That is the last time I used. I want my children to understand it is alright to ask for help,” Price said.

“The only reason I’m an expert is that I’ve lived this. I lost my parents to addiction. We don’t always recognize how we can participate in this. I’m a fighter not a hider. It is import to show everyone that they are important simply because they exist,” Jones said concerning resources for addiction recovery.

Prima shared the painful loss of her son which led to her and her husband forming Hope Sheds Light. “My son grew up in Toms River and he was smart, athletic, kind and quiet before this disease came into his life. During his senior year we saw changes of irritability, sleepless nights and his grades started to slip. I thought no, this is not my son. I took away his phone and saw numerous texts and it was apparent he had problems.

“I found out after going to recovery meetings that I was not alone as a parent of an addict. I found that I was addicted to my son and my husband and I needed to learn that you don’t have to do this alone.

That there is help,” Prima said.

Since January, there have been 181 opioid overdoses in Toms River, 20 of which were fatal, according to recent data from the New Jersey Army National Guard (NJARNG) Counterdrug Task Force.

“We each play a role in the solution, and today was the first step,” said Valente. “It is only together, through unified efforts, that we can effectively approach and develop ways to resolve this public health crisis.”

By Kimberly Bosco BRICK – In honor of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, healthcare professionals at Atlantic Medical Imaging (AMI) and the AMI Foundation are hosting free mammograms and special events.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., a kickoff ceremony will be held at 9 a.m., and the walk begins at 10 a.m. at both locations.

“These events represent a ‘best of both worlds’ opportunity for women,” said Dr. Peggy Avagliano, head of women’s imaging at AMI. “They promise to be a fun and enjoyable night out, while at the same time empowering women to take charge of their body and their health.”

Officials: Keep An Eye On Your Child’s Vision Health

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – New school year, new backpack, new clothes…new glasses? Ocean County Health Department officials are reminding parents to keep an eye on their children’s eye heath as we begin another school year.

According to the Ocean County Health Department, over one in four students in the US suffer from undiagnosed vision problems.

Vison problems in schools can affect academic performance when a child can’t properly see the blackboard, computer screen or book they’re reading. Studies show that approximately 80 percent of what a child learns in school is information through visual presentation, so healthy vision is imperative when it comes to concentration and engaging in lessons.

“The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) wants to remind parents about the importance of children’s eye health as we start to gear up for another school year,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “Early detection of vision problems can make all the difference for a child in the classroom.”

Good news is that it is now state law mandates young students 6 and under, entering public schools or Head Start Programs, must receive a comprehensive eye exam. A comprehensive

exam can provide a more definitive assessment and appropriate treatment so children can start their learning journey with adequate vision skills.

According to the American Optometric Association, a child’s vision can change frequently during the course of the school year. Parents should keep an eye out for the following symptoms: • Headaches from eye strain • Short attention span • Excessive blinking or eye rubbing • Poor hand-eye coordination • Difficulty remembering what was read • Covering one eye • Holding materials close to the face.

“The goal is to educate parents about the critical relationship between vision and learning,” said Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator. “Students should not have to struggle getting through their studies due to a lack of undetected vision issues. As parents we look for so many health concerns but we can’t forget how important eye sight is to their academic success.”

Officials: Teen Suicide A Big Issue In Ocean County

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – While it may be hard to hear, it is important to be aware of: suicide has become the third leading cause of death among children and young adults aged 10-24.

While vape pens and underage drinking are the usual cause for concern, parents and guardians should also keep a close eye on teenagers for other risk factors.

According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), 14 young people between the ages of 10 and 24 committed suicide from 2013 to 2015 in Ocean County. During the same two year period, there was a whopping 283 cases for the entire state.

“Sadly, society is putting more and more pressure on our young people today. Peer pressure, bullying, social media, drugs and alcohol are just some of the social challenges young people are trying to navigate,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little.

According to the same AFSP study, from 2013 to 2015, Ocean County had 1 of the 3 highest rates in the state for suicide attempts and self-inflicted injuries among 10 to 24 year olds.

“It’s become another public health issue with too many sad endings,” said Daniel E. Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator. “However, research has shown suicide deaths can be preventable. The key is promoting the work of suicide prevention and mental health awareness.

Increased collaboration with state, local and community partners is essential for success.”

Prevention efforts begin with educating pediatricians, primary health care providers, school personnel and families on how to recognize the warning signs of suicide and what action to take when intent is disclosed.

Business Programs Coming to Jackson Library

JACKSON – The Jackson Branch of the Ocean County Library will host several business-related programs this fall presented in partnership with SCORE of Ocean County.

“Website Design Tips for Your Business” 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23.

Internet marketing specialist Maureen Rushalski reviews design techniques and tips to improve your website.

“How to Launch a Successful Small Business” 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4.

Glenn Harris will discuss skills needed prior to launching your business. It will also cover financial, marketing, and business plans.

The branch is located at 2 Jackson Drive.

Registration is required for these free programs. To register, call the branch at 732-928-4400 or visit theoceancoutnylibrary.org/events.

“Help is available. Young people need to be encouraged to speak with a trusted adult or call a suicide prevention hotline if they feel overwhelmed, depressed or are having suicidal thoughts, said Kimberly Reilly, OCHD Chief of Administrative Services. “Parents that are concerned their child may be suffering from depression or suicidal tendencies need to

act quick - do not wait, seek professional help right away.”

Symptoms of depression or suicidal tendencies may be hard to detect. Officials note that challenges like divorce, remarriage, relationship problems and social media can be major factors.

“Earlier detection means earlier treatment,” Regenye added. “That’s why it is

so important for parents, loved ones and educators to keep an eye out for the signs of depression or any other mental health concerns.”

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

Audiologist Making House Calls

In the old days, many Doctors made house calls to patients when the word “specialist” did not exist. It is extremely rare to see this in the 21st Century, however, there are several select companies that do offer this service such as Visiting Nurses Association (VNA) and/or similar groups. Concierge services are now being offered by certain physician groups whereby you pay an “upfront” fee and you have a more direct channel to the Doctor when you need them. Concierge services clearly exist with Primary Care Physician’s, Internal Medicine, Podiatry, Optometry, Dental, and Veterinary practices. These practices are trying to provide an “exceptional service package” and you pay extra for these services.

Garden State Hearing & Balance Center (GSHBC) realizes the importance of extending their hearing care services outside of our three office locations (Toms River, Manahawkin, & Whiting). For example, there are hundreds of residents living in continuing care facilities such as Crestwood Manor, Harrogate, The Pines at Whiting and many others who cannot get out to see their doctors. Many of these facilities bring the healthcare professional to the resident. GSHBC provides these services to many of these facilities, and trust me, the residents are so grateful! Granted, many residents are independent enough to hire transportation to

see their doctors, however, it can become quite expensive to do so. Thus, these continuing care facilities make an effort as part as their value proposition to offer as many on-site healthcare services as possible to their residents.

Equally important…there are many folks that are non-ambulatory and find it extremely difficult to leave their home. Many of them are wheel chair bound, on 24/7 oxygen due to COPD and/or have significant health issues.

Hearing loss is very prevalent in this type of population and these folks need our help as well. GSHBC has never advertised or promoted this service, even though we have been making “house calls” for over 25 years. In my opinion, there is an increasing need for hearing care services to these specific individuals because our population is living longer and longer. We believe that everyone’s quality of life can be enhanced with improved hearing. We also know that untreated hearing loss in these populations increase the risk of cognitive decline, memory loss, and social isolation.

If you know of someone who is suffering from hearing loss and does not have the transportation means to see us, we will be happy to come to their home or place of residence. For additional information, please feel to speak to Dr. Izzy Kirsh at 732-818-3610 or email to: ikirsh@gardenstatehearing.com.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting (expanded hours!), and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Why Some Antidepressants Work And Some Don’t

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. First let me say I am not a fan of medicating normal, regular sadness that we encounter in our life, such as the melancholy associated with losing a job, or when someone unfriends you, or for hormonal cycles. There are people who are truly depressed and suppressing the urge to harm themselves. We need to be loving and gentle with them, and if they need medicine, then so be it.

Medication treatment should be based upon the neurotransmitters that are imbalanced. Doctors tend to throw a dart in the dark by prescribing popular drugs without actually measuring metabolites of neurotransmitters (for example Homovanillate or 5-HIAA) which provide a glimpse behind the curtain.

So let’s get to it, what do you think is better, an SNRI or an SSRI? Or an MOA inhibitor? The answer is unclear. One category of meds will work great for you, and be an epic fail for your friend.

Why is that?

Because Zoloft (sertraline) works by making serotonin linger longer, and that’s great if you have reduced serotonin activity. But what if that’s not your problem? What if you’re depressed because you have low DHEA, a youth hormone that declines after 40. What if it’s low testosterone or estrogen. And what if your levels of serotonin are fine, but you have super low levels of norepinephrine or dopamine? In the latter case, Zoloft would not work, and might be harmful, whereas Wellbutrin (bupropion) would be great!

Some of you could benefit from a med that raises serotonin, dopamine AND

norepinephrine. Remeron (mirtazapine) works in this regard. There are so many possibilities, so do not lose hope!

Someone else reading this needs lifting of serotonin and norepinephrine but NOT the dopamine. Effexor (venlafaxine) is an SNRI that does exactly that!

What I’m trying to say is that each of you respond to the medication that restores activity of the particular neurotransmitter YOU are deficient in. Not everyone with depression is deficient in one specific thing.

I have readers today that are in bad shape and feeling isolated and hopeless. I want to help you. Keep doing a little more ‘trial and error’ with medications (and other therapies outside the pill). There are tests you can take today to measure metabolites.

I have a more comprehensive version of this article which you can receive via email if you sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com.

In closing, I couldn’t possibly know what’s right for everyone because neurotransmitter levels are like fingerprints in people. Sometimes depression is caused by folate or B12 deficiency, or thyroid illness.

Sometimes it’s from very high inflammatory compounds, or from a biotoxin like mold. This may surprise you but sometimes it’s medication-induced, like from The Pill.

If you feel like you’re at your wits end and you’ve tried everything and it’s just time to go (and stop being a burden to others) then you need to STOP thinking that immediately because it simply isn’t so. You haven’t tried everything. There are people who love you and need you. The National Suicide Prevention Line is 800-273-8255 or text HELLO to 741741.

Show Your Support For Our Wounded Warriors In 12th Annual Event

By Kimberly Bosco JACKSON – Celebrate the 12th Annual Wounded Warrior event, hosted by the Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol Club, on October 12 at 9:30 a.m.

Ever since he took office in 2008, Mayor Michael Reina has made it a priority to host the Annual Wounded Warrior parade/ escort each year.

The event will begin at 9 a.m. at the Justice Complex in Jackson. Escorted by Jackson Township Police, Fire, and First Aid, the warriors will make the ride over to the Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol Club on Stump Tavern Road at 9:30 a.m.

Those who wish to participate – residents, organizations, clubs, and volunteers – can line up from the Justice Complex on West Veterans Highway to the Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol Club as a sign of support and to honor our Heroes.

“The freedoms we enjoy as Americans have been purchased and maintained at a high price throughout our history. We owe a great debt to those who have served in defense of our nation. For many, their sacrifice has ended in permanent injury.

It has been a true honor to ride alongside these heroes each year as we escort them.

Showing your support will only take a few minutes out of your day but will provide a lasting memory for these heroes,” stated Mayor Reina.

Spectators can safely park their cars along the roads, wave flags or hold banners, and show their support as the parade passes by.

Any agency, club or group wishing to take part and show their support should contact Mayor Reina’s office at 732-9281200 ext.1211. All Wounded Warriors and Veterans who are interested in attending should email Al Dolce at njgunfun@ gmail.com.

Inside The Law Consumer Rights And Data Breach

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

Michael J. Deem

Protecting Yourself From Identify Theft

The recent data breach by Equifax meant that sensitive personal information for 145 million Americans was potentially exposed, including Social Security numbers, birthdates, addresses and, in some instances, driver’s license numbers. This incident has left many consumers wondering how they can protect themselves from identify theft.

Monitor your Account Check your financial account transactions regularly. Opt-in for alerts that screen for questionable transactions and opt-in for multifactor authentication. Look for charges that you don’t recognize, even if they were for small amounts. Sometimes scoundrels test the waters with small charges. Be aware of communications claiming to be from credit reporting agency or financial institution.

Review Credit Reports By law, all consumers are entitled to a free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion). You can request a free credit report from annualcreditreport.com, by phone or mail. Any site other than annualcreditreport.com is not part of the legally mandated free annual credit report program. Make sure you spell the

annualcreditreport.com domain name correctly and avoid look-alike scam sites.

Place a Freeze A credit freeze prevents new creditors from accessing your credit file and others from opening accounts in your name. A freeze could stop identity thieves because most (but not all) businesses will not open credit accounts without checking your credit report. A credit freeze does not prevent identity thieves from taking-over your existing account.

Set a fraud alert!

A fraud alert requires creditors who check your credit report to take steps to verify your identity before opening a new account, issuing additional card or increasing your credit limit on an existing account. A fraud alert is free. You can place an initial alert on your account for 90 days if you have not been a victim of identity theft.

The litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C. Shea & Associates handle most consumer fraud claims on a contingency basis. A contingency means if there is no recovery, there is no fee. Call us for a free consultation: 732-505-1212.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of OCt 5 - OCt 11

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the week ahead, you might feel a sense of relief as a loan is paid off or you get a financial pop of some kind. Hold off on purchases for the next few days, as you may get a better deal later in the week.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Focus on learning new things as this week unfolds. You may be able to change situations that restrict your freedoms. You and a companion can maintain harmony by giving each other the benefit of the doubt.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may not have the tools or experience to put a project into motion this week, but you have the imagination to visualize the possibilities. Write down your ideas and file them away until the time is right.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You might be surprised to learn that someone unexpected is willing to support you as this week unfolds.

There may be a minor household squabble, but a calm, reasonable discussion will sort it out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Put your money in the bank rather than buying lottery tickets or taking any financial risks. You might have high hopes in the week ahead, but must remind yourself to stay grounded in what is real right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your boundless enthusiasm to follow your dreams is matched by the grit and determination to follow through. A partner might think you are wasting your time, but keep plugging away this week and you may accomplish something.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may think

that being possessive shows that you care, but letting go shows that you trust. Give your partner or lover the space to roam free and make new friends in the week to come. Focus on showing your loyalty.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Change the way you speak to yourself. In the week ahead you may make mental or emotional breakthroughs. You might benefit from someone’s enlightening and unique perspective. Keep any jealousy in check.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you are not where you want to be in life, the week ahead may offer opportunities to change that.

Avoid increasing your debt during the next few days, when you might take on more than you can handle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the week to come, it will be wise to address your priorities first and organize your possessions and thoughts to make your days run smoothly. If you’re prepared, you can handle almost anything.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Romance will take a turn for the better later in the week. During the next few days, you may have good luck if you focus on developing your social network. Be cautious about how you handle your cash.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Expect the best and prepare for the worst, but don’t let your imagination run away with you. Worrying about something before it happens is wasted energy. Go confidently ahead knowing you can handle what comes.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen

Try A Different Shape This Season

By Wolfgang Puck

fold the top half over to enclose the filling. Pinch firmly all along the edges of the half-circle to seal in the filling securely.

VEGETABLE CALZONES Makes 4 Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough (recipe follows), separated into 4 equal balls, or good-quality store-bought pizza dough 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra as needed and for brushing 2 cups (500 ml) sliced fresh shiitake mushroom caps 1 cup (250 ml) thinly sliced slender Asian eggplant rounds Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 cups (500 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese, about 1/2 pound (250 g) 2 cups (500 ml) shredded Fontina cheese, about 1/2 pound (250 g) 4 cups (1 l) packed prewashed and dried baby spinach leaves, stems removed 8 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese Make Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough in advance (see instructions below).

Place a pizza stone or baking tiles on the middle rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).

Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large nonstick sauté pan and 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium nonstick sauté pan, both over medium-high heat.Add the shiitake mushroom slices to the large pan and the eggplant slices to the medium pan and lightly season both vegetables with salt and pepper; sauté, stirring frequently, until both vegetables are tender, 7 to 10 minutes, adding a little more oil if needed. Transfer the vegetables to 2 plates and spread them out to cool.

On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out each ball of dough into an 8-inch (20-cm) circle. Leaving about a 1-inch (2.5-cm) margin on the edge, divide the mozzarella evenly over half of each circle; then add the Fontina, spinach, mushrooms, and eggplant, finishing with the Parmesan. Moisten the edge of each dough circle with water and

Slide a flour-dusted baker’s peel, pizza peel, or rimless baking sheet under a calzone and transfer it to the oven, carefully sliding it onto the pizza stone or tiles. Add as many more calzones as will fit comfortably. Bake until the dough is nicely browned, about 12 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven to a serving platter and brush the tops with olive oil. Serve immediately, carefully cutting each in half if you’ve only had room to bake 2, distributing the halves while you bake the other two calzones in the same way.

WOLFGANG’S PIZZA DOUGH Makes 4 balls, each 6 ounces (185 g) 1 package active dry yeast 1 teaspoon honey 1 cup (250 ml) warm water, 105°F to 115°F (40°C to 46°C) 3 cups (750 ml) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup (60 ml) warm water.

In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the oil, yeast mixture, and remaining water; process until a ball forms. Turn out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand until smooth and firm, about 3 minutes. Cover with a clean, damp towel and let rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours.

Divide into 4 equal balls. Work each by pulling down the sides and tucking under. Repeat four or five times. On a smooth, unfloured surface, roll under your palm until smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. The balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days; or frozen for up to 3 months, to be thawed in the refrigerator overnight before use.
