By Bob Vosseller LAKEWOOD – Knights, pirates, kings, queens, magicians, harp players and more came out to enjoy the 40 th Lakewood Renaissance Faire held by the township’s Lions Club.

The event was held in Pine Park which for that weekend was rechristened as the Village of Pine Park in the East Kingdom of the Barony of Carillion.

Officials Want Security Cameras At Lake Horicon

By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – The last Borough Council meeting was short but not too sweet as it noted the resignation of recreation leader Debby Pease as well as vandalism at the new bathrooms at Lake Horicon.

Councilman Brian DiMeo who serves as liaison to Youth Recreation said he was sorry to see Pease go. “We appreci-

Update Wanted On Afghan Refugees At Base

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Mayor Robert Hudak discussed the need to learn more about what the long ter m plans were at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst regarding refugees that are being housed there from Afghanistan.

During a recent council meeting the mayor responded to a question from resident Judy Noonan about that issue. The mayor said he hadn’t learned much so far from the military.

Refugees arrived last month at the Joint Base as part of Operation Allies Refuge. It is one of four military installations in the country

ate her support for the last year and a half but for personal reasons she has decided to move on.”

He said during the last monthly meeting of Youth and Recreation it was decided that due to potential inclement weather an event scheduled at Lake Horicon had to be cancelled.

Officials said the event, which was to be a cruise night event involving classic

cars would not be rescheduled.

Council President Steven Oglesby said that the public works committee met recently and was discussing two pressing matters, one being the replacement of the children’s playground climbing attraction. It may require a wooden ladder replacement as the climbing rock wall has a gash in it.

doing so. The evacuation includes Afghan residents who fled their country following the takeover of that nation’s government by Taliban forces.

“I reached out to the Joi nt Base. We are looking to have a meeting with them and get some sort of update from them. We got an e-mail from them and that was it. We really want to know what is happening and we’re really not getting a lot of information,” the mayor said. “We want to know what is happening in our community as well.”

Profane Political Flag Removed From Front Of Home

By Stephanie Faughnan LAKEHURST – Tenants renting a house on the corner of Route 70 and Orchard Street voluntarily removed a profanity-laced political flag from their residence last week.

According to Robert McGlyn, 44, his live-in girlfriend took down the flag after a visit from the local police department.

“The chief and another officer came to the house and asked me to remove the flag,” said McGlyn. “They didn’t order me to take it down.

My girlfriend just didn’t want any drama.”

McGlyn said he purchased the flag from (Political- See Page 16)

Along with the Lions Club the organization enjoyed the participation of the local level of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) and the Knights of Valour.

The weekend offered a variety of musical performances, jousting, archery, hatchet throwing, medieval fighting demonstrations and numerous vendors.

There’s been a lot of history in the 40 years that the faire’s been enchanting families, said Lions Club leader Don Alemany, who serves as the festival co-director. They’ve even had real weddings performed here.

One of the biggest draws is the Knights of Valour, he said. They are a professional jousting troop. Their owner, Shane Adams, had a TV series called “Full Metal Joust” on the History Channel. They have been here for 20 years.

During the first day of the festival weekend, Alemany said, “we had something extremely rare.” Both knights in the joust were dislodged off their horses during a bout.

Fellow Lions Club member Ashlynn K. Williams who is noted as The Tail Twister said that another attraction is “Ocean County’s best fire breather Needles and we’ve also had belly dancing.”

The members noted that after last year’s absence when the event was called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many participants and regular attendees were eager to return to enjoy the event that provides a glimpse into the medieval history.

However, a few vendors did not come this

decades ago as the club’s chief fundraiser and a major attraction in Ocean County each fall, Don Alemany said, “we had two Lion members and one SCA member and they got together and said we need to do some kind of fundraising and in October of 1981, the park became known as the village and the Barony of Carillion in the East Kingdom. It has grown to what it is today.”

He recalled that in 2001, “I was trying to get jousters from the Maryland Ren Faire and things fell apart. I get a call from this Canadian guy which is Shane Adams and they agreed to come here and 9/11 happens.”

“They were coming from Canada with a truckload of horses and steel blades and armor and everything else. I think the Lord had it planned because they followed a (Canadian) Mountie in a line of trucks to get into the United States. They had to go through some security clearances and they made it down here,” he added.

“We’ve had our ups and downs with the weather and now the pandemic. Last year with the event canceled we were asked to blend the Halloween contest in town with the Ren Faire in Pine Park. The club didn’t make a lot of money but the vendors did with all these kids coming in with their parents last October. For a time there, there was only three of us who ran this. The biggest thing is to see the people laugh and smile,” he said.

SCA members Pam Herbert of Waretown and Mary Jacobsen of Lacey were busy opening their organization tent on the second day of the event.

Jacobsen served as the autocrat for the event “which for our group basically means that I

am in charge of the event. I get the people who volunteer to do things. The local chapter president is known as the seneschal. “We probably have on average about 75 members show up. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to the study of medieval history and recreation from the fall of the Roman Empire to the death of Queen Elizabeth.”

Herbert reminded Jacobsen that the club “now goes beyond Europe.”

“Anything that goes beyond 1600 and happened on Earth, we’re good,” Jacobsen joked.

Cliff Woerner, whose stage name is Jack Morrowin, was the master of ceremonies and a magician who performed during the weekend. “This is year three that I am MCing the event. I started back in 2016 during their 35th anniversary and they wanted me to perform. I came in as an entry level performer and they also asked me to MC the event saying here you are an entertainer here is a microphone and freedom.”

“Now I come up with the schedule for the entertainment and I also talk to the vendors who are wonderful people,” Woerner added.

Among the items you could buy from vendors included dream catchers, decorative jewelry and dragon eggs.

When you got hungry, you could enjoy a hot dog or hamburger from the Men’s Club of Four Seasons at South Knolls in Jackson Township. The members there were selling 50/50 raffle tickets and also promoting their annual walk event to support Lyme Disease research. “We donate a lot to charities such to help those with Lyme Disease, diabetes and deaf and blind schools,” club president Vince Scatuccio said.

year. Williams added that while they couldn’t come for whatever reason, “they did make fantastic donations to the club which is always great.”

“We had a belly dancing group that opted not to come this year but we do have dancers and a harp performer and this year we have a Roman encampment with gladiators. We have grown over the years,” Alemany said.

Brice Alemany is the “King Lion” or grounds director who sets up where everything will be held each year. “It takes me a day and a half to get everything situated. We put out the promotional signs early. This year it was just me and my sister and my niece.

Our manpower has been a bit short.”

“We have 14 members on the books,” Williams said but some are inactive. A few others are living outside of the state.

Don Alemany said 100% of the proceeds goes back to the club’s mission of helping those with vision and hearing problems. “It goes to charitable organizations and one of our biggest is the Lehmann School which is associated with Ladacin Network. We sponsor a blind child at a summer camp.”

Other projects on the state and local level include scholarships for Lakewood High School seniors, PPE for fi rst responders, supporting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the Lions Eye Bank of NJ and Delaware Valley and the Katzenback School for the Deaf.

On the National level the Lakewood Lions support St. Jude’s Children’s Research foundation, the Childhood Leukemia Foundation and Shriners Hospital.

Continued From Page 1 “I’m afraid somebody’s going to get hurt,” Oglesby said. “We want to get it fixed before the winter. We are awaiting the status of what has become of that.”

An estimate on the cost to correct the problem is expected soon.

The other matter concerns the damage that the borough’s new bathroom facilities at the lake which recently was damaged by vandals. “This is why we can’t have nice things,” Oglesby said in disgust.

“We are now discussing adding security cameras out there,” the councilman added.

Information concerning that is continuing.

An estimate of the damage is not yet available.

Also discussed was whether the Department of Public Works has reached out to any tree companies for work within the borough.

Oglesby is a member of the borough’s first aid squad and he said, “they asked me about the push button combination lock on the front door and in the day time they can’t see the numbers on it because they are all faded out. They would like permission from the borough to change that lock.”

“They want to change it to a key fob lock at their expense unless the borough would like to pay for it but either way, they want to change it to a key fob,” Oglesby added.

He noted that because it is a building owned by the borough, they wanted to get some direction on the idea. “A number of years ago we looked at getting key fobs for buildings and at the time they were talking

The Manchester Times, October 2, 2021, Page 5 about getting fobs for the administrative offices, line officers offices and every outside door at the fire department but the cost was prohibitive.”

“We’re talking about the drive way,” Councilman James Davis asked.

“I’ve never used it so I don’t know,” Councilwoman Patricia Hodges said. She voted no to the change when the matter came up for a vote later in the meeting.

“At night it is fine because the numbers light up but during the day, you can’t see anything and for those of us who have been on the squad for a while, we know where the numbers are but we’ve had several members who don’t know where the numbers are and they can’t access the building,” Oglesby said.

“Each of our members have their own individual code,” he added. “I’ve gotten to the building at times and even after all these years, I think ‘what is that combination again?’ It just delays it a few seconds.”

“Still, it is a delay,” Councilman Brian DiMeo said.

Davis also agreed with the idea and said he’d like to see the squad cover the cost.

Oglesby abstained due to his being a member of the squad. DiMeo and Davis voted yes to allow for the change in building access.

Mayor Harry Robbins and Councilman Gary Lowe were absent from the session.

Resolutions approved during the evening included the payment of bills, the appointment of Tammy Duffy as Clerk 2 Permanent and approving Shariya S. Brown and Henry W. Seeger as members of the borough’s fire department.

“That was the point of our e-mail because we want to know what the long-term strategy is,” Hudak responded. “What are the affects that we are going to feel here. I don’t want to engage in inuendo but we want to know what is going on.”

The mayor said that as to the camp remaining only in the McGuire side of the Joint Base, “that could change at some point.

We don’t know. We don’t know what their plans are.”

The Taliban takeover led to a quick exodus of people from Afghanistan after their government fell. Thousands of people were evacuated via Kabul airport since the beginning of the rescue effort on August 22.

Those evacuated include a mix of western government staff, agency workers and Afghan residents who worked with western governments. This includes those who are

perceived to be at risk due to the nature of their work such as translators, human rights activists and journalists.

A representative from the base said back in August that the evacuees are being provided with temporary lodging, basic needs, transportation, and medical screening.

It’s not the first time refugees have been brought into the Joint Base. There were also displaced Lebanese and Kosovar brought there in recent years.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY f eAtuReD L etteR Don’t Force Towns To Build ‘Affordable Housing’ It is with a wealth of history within the Garden State that I have very strong opinions on “Affordable Housing” within the most densely populated State in the Union. History that affords perspective both in the demographics and political events that created the housing shortage. It’s no surprise a myopic judge once again issues a mandate in an area where economic and engineering experience are needed. Potable water is the number one concern in the Garden State, yet it receives NO PRESS. Infrastructure within the State left to deteriorate while highly educated and indebted people languish doing menial low pay jobs is evidence of the poor governmental husbandry of our political elites. These political hacks are happy to spend other peoples’ money in their re-election bids. It seems to be all the Garden State is producing nowadays, election sound bites.

Fact is that the cities need investment and rehabilitation and that is the smart way to provide the jobs that must be before any affordable housing. Fact is our political hacks play a shell game of re-distributing

the poor, who haven’t the income to afford housing and its upkeep, or to pay the taxes imposed on property owners passed through to renters. Developing already scarce land and spending on new civic projects to provide more water and sewage services without improving the income prospects of them imposed with the taxes to pay for them is ludicrous.

Before any town accepts State mandates, the State should provide all the funds the health, education, and well being of them it wishes to impose on already over taxed citizens.

I am aware my views are unpopular because there isn’t much graft or political bombastic glory in setting the record straight. However, before mandating housing NJ must first overhaul its educational funding for mula, redo the tax code so businesses that pay menial wages aren’t leaving taxpayers with the social costs like affordable housing, health education and welfare of thei r workers, and developers must compensate residents for the added burdens of civic improvements.

Letters To The Editor The Truth Behind Critical Race Theory The writer of a letter to the editor (Sept 18th 2021) is misinformed regarding the nature of Critical Race Theory. It does not assess blame or characterize all white people as oppressors. It is, very simply, an historical analysis that points out the enduring pervasiveness of racism in American society and institutions, a condition formed by centuries of racially based African slavery. Racism was enshrined in the US Constitution’s Three Fifths Clause, reflecting the existence of slavery from the earliest colonial period. Even after the abolition of slavery in 1864, enforced legal disabilities were imposed on people of African descent until relatively recently.

I’m old enough to have seen white only drinking fountains, rest rooms, and restaurants, and I remember vividly a bus trip to Florida when I was a teenager which halted in Virginia so that Black people could be required to sit in the back of the bus for the balance of the trip. Even here in NJ I remember seeing ‘apartments for rent’ columns in the state’s largest newspaper being divided, with a separate listing headed “Colored.” It was not that long ago, and this history and its enormous defining impact must be acknowledged and studied. It affects our society in a profound way, and has deeply affected our political and social structures.

We have made great strides

as a society while seeking racial justice, but much more needs to be done. Ignoring our history, whether out of malice or ignorance, retards our progress toward a more perfect democracy.

William Faulkner observed that “The past is never dead.

It’s not even past.” Critical Race Theory merely recognizes this reality.

John Marcinski Barnegat

Wake Up America In response to the letter on “the check his watch” in the 9/18/21 issue of Manchester Times, the author only criticizes all who complained about Biden’s behavior, instead of offering plausible excuses for looking at his watch three times, at the funeral of 13 American soldiers. There is one excuse which could expose Biden’s cognitive impairment, but he should have disciplined himself on the 3rd time to avoid looking at his watch.

The author compliments Biden on doing a good job.

It isn’t a good job to entice migrants to flood our border, some 15,000 in the last two weeks, and shove them under the bridge in Del Rio, Texas for cover. Does this qualify to the “Lady in the Harbor” asking for your huddled masses? Enticing ONE MILLION migrants to flood our Southern Border in six months is cruel and inhuman to these unsuspecting people. It is also cruel and inhuman to leave Americans behind enemy lines in Afghanistan with

no plan to rescue them. It is OK to support your party, but call them out on their er rors. You raised your kids by calling them out on wrong behavior, even though you loved them.

Wake up America!

Madam Pelosi just recently accused Republicans of being “anti-governance.”

Well, just like the electric media is guilty of abusing, mis-using and even bastardizing the spoken word, so too are the radical politicians in both parties guilty of abusing, mis-using and bastardizing your American tax dollars with obscene trillion-dollar spending bills. Are you aware 64 million in American tax dollars was recently given to the Taliban, with more to follow? Wake up America!

If putting a cognitively-impaired man in the White House is good, then there is one cry: “Oh, Houston, we have a problem,” to quote the Captain of Apollo 13, as his spacecraft was in crash mode. I repeat: Wake up America!

Now, look what’s happened: cars clogging every highway. It takes you half an hour to go one town over.

You can’t find any open space. When I was a kid, we used to play in the woods.

Where’s all the woods?

Now they want to build a 10-story tower downtown and put up hundreds of apartments near the mall.

Who’s paying for those kids to go to school? Oh yeah, you and me.

And then when people complain, they say “Oh, no, it’s not us! It’s the state’s fault!” Or they’ll say “But we have to build up downtown!”

My whole life, people have been complaining that there’s too much development. But then they keep voting in the same people!

It’s been said that the definition of crazy is to do the same thing over and over and expect different results.

The Republicans in charge are going to just keep letting their rich friends build whatever they want and we have to pay for it.

Marie Pellicaano Manchester

Brian Falken Toms River

Vote GOP If You Want More Development It’s amazing how the GOP keep building in Toms River. They’ve been in charge of the town council for decades (at least) and the planning board which has the fi nal say in what gets built.

One councilman is a builder – Lotano Properties.

They built that ridiculous apartment complex downtown right next to South so that there are more kids going to school and our school taxes will go up.

A past councilman, Wittmann, was co-owner of construction projects all over town.

TV News Doesn’t Show The Real World Editor’s note: This letter is in reference to an editorial about how television news doesn’t show you what’s really happening in the world.

Thank you thank you thank you for your great editorial of Sept. 4, 2021. I am so tired of the TV telling me who is good and bad. My family is divided and it is so painful. So I am taking your advice and I am coming up for air to smell the fresh air and flowers and the TV is off to all news.

his work on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and service on the House Armed Services Committee, as well as Operation Allies Welcome, and the work of Task Force-Liberty at JBMDL related to Afghan refugees and resettlement efforts.

“At the end of August, as the United States left Afghanistan, I called on America to honor the American handshake by helping those Afghan allies that have helped us over our 20 years in their country,” said Congressman Kim. “I’m proud that Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and New Jersey are doing our part and I look forward to highlighting the strategic significance of the Joint Base to our region and our country.”

During the town hall, Con-

gressman Kim was joined by Department of Homeland Security’s Tom Decker, the federal coordinator at JBMDL, as well as Col. Jon Brierton and Capt. Frank Ingargiola, JBMDL’s deputy commanders who discussed a variety of topics from Joint Base operations, to refugees and resettlement.

Questions raised by people in both Burlington and Ocean County during the town hall include topics on refugee resettlement and how they can help, vaccine access, climate

change, infrastructure, and Congressman Kim’s push to lower prescription drug prices – highlighted by his recent op-ed in the Washington Post.

Congressman Kim highlighted his work on the ongoing bipartisan NDAA FY 2022 bill including his Put Our Neighbors to Work Act that requires the Department of Defense (DoD) to give preference to contractors for military construction projects that will use workers from the same state, or a 60-mile radius from where

the work will occur.

The same bill also requires the DoD to post publicly online, construction contract opportunities and requires contract recipients to make information for any contracts exceeding $250,000 available to the public.

Congressman Kim also spoke about the value of JBMDL, he talked about the incredible bravery shown by the flight crew based at JBMDL that took off from Kabul with more than 800 people on it during the Afghan evacuation in August.

Congressman Wants Study On Conspiracy Theory That U.S. Created Lyme Disease From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. – The House of Representatives this week passed an amendment offered by Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) directing the federal govern-

ment’s “watchdog” agency to investigate the Department of Defense’s (DOD) possible weaponization of ticks and other insects with Lyme disease during its

consideration of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (H.R. 4350).

The investigation is based on suggestions that have been debunked by both the military and medical community and is seen as a conspiracy theory.

“In the spirit of transparency and accountability, my amendment directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to probe whether

the Department of Defense ever weaponized ticks with Lyme disease or any other dangerous pathogen,” said Rep. Smith, the founding co-chair of the House Lyme Disease Caucus.

“Americans deserve the truth,” Smith said.

“The millions of Americans suffering from Lyme disease have a right to know whether any of this is true, and if any old research documents could be applied

by current-day scientists to finding a better diagnostic or treatment - something that’s desperately needed,” said Smith, who has been advocating for Lyme patients and a more robust government response to the devastating disease since 1992.

Smith’s amendment requires the GAO to report findings to Congress of any DOD experiments on ticks or other insects for use as bi-

ological weapons from 1950 to 1977, including the experiment’s scope and whether any insects may have been “released outside of any laboratory by accident or experiment design.” Similar amendments authored by Smith passed the House in 2019 and 2020, but did not make it through the Senate.

The legislation comes in the wake of credible assertions made in numerous (Government - See Page 22)

By Alyssa Riccardi MANCHESTER – After losing control of a dump truck filled with tons of sand, the vehicle overturned sending the driver to the hospital, police said.

On September 22, officers from the Manchester Township Police Department responded to the area of Pasadena Road near the Ocean County/Burlington County border. The truck was on the driver’s side in the southbound lane with sand scattered throughout the roadway and shoulder.

The driver, 50-year-old Erick Castro-Perez, was travelling northbound on Pasadena Road and lost control of the truck, with the passenger side tires entered onto the dirt shoulder. This caused the truck to reenter the roadway, crossing the centerline into the southbound lane and overturning.

ARounD the JeRsey shoRe Child Care Center To Be Fully Vaccinated Before State Timeline

–Photo courtesy Goddard School Staff were recently vaccinated to get ready for the new school year.

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – With Gov. Phil Murphy requiring all child care center personnel to be fully vaccinated by November 1, at least one local facility planned for this ahead of schedule.

The Goddard School on Route 70 had a vaccine clinic on September 17 for those staff who weren’t already vaccinated. They got the fi rst dose of the Pfi zer vaccine.

They will be getting their second doses on October 8.

The school had mandated vaccinations for their staff before the governor issued Executive Order 264, which required that all child care center personnel must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by November

1 or else be subject to testing once or twice per week.

The executive order also stated that all employees, visitors, students, and children 2 and older must wear masks indoors, with limited exceptions.

“We know there are already many child care providers who are doing their utmost to protect the children in their care, their employees, and their communities – and we thank them,” said Governor Phil Murphy.

“This order ensures that everyone is abiding by the same strong standards to protect those who are not yet eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations, so that we can continue to offer safe, in-person learning environments for children of all ages.”

someone who set up a stand across the street from his Route 70 home. The banner bore the message “F**k Biden” and offered a similar directive to everyone who voted for the sitting president.

Those traveling on Route 70 could easily see the flag displayed from the front of McGlyn’s residence. One of the issues that surfaced during McGlyn’s conversation with local authorities was the concern that schoolchildren walk past the flags on their way to Lakehurst Elementary School.

A flag advocating for Trump in 2020 adorns the fence on the Orchard Street side of the home.

“The main reason I bought the (Biden) f lag was because of the dumb sh*t he did in Afghanistan,” said McGlyn. “The police were really gentlemen when they explained they got a couple of complaints about the flag.”

“I’m not even sure schoolchildren did see it,” McGlyn shared. “Words shouldn’t be offensive to anybody or their kids. I see it as an infringement of my rights.”

McGlyn saw no issues with children using or seeing profanity. His ten-year-old daughter lives with him in the house where the flag flew for a short time. He would have no problem with her using the “F” word if she accidentally fell and shouted it out, for example.

In a social media post, McGlyn reiterated his right to fly the flag and wanted to know who called the police to report him. He suggested that denying his right to do so was akin to living in a communist country.

When asked for commentary on the issue, Lakehurst residents presented a variety of views. Some agreed with McGlyn’s position, while others found the flag inappropriate.

“I do believe it is freedom of speech no matter where it is,” said Sean Carman. “..A

–Photo by Stephanie Faughnan Lakehurst resident Robert McGlyn stands in the front of his Rt 70 residence where he displayed the F**k Biden flag. display of profanity was fi ne, and his way of showing how feels about the puppet we have running this country into the ground and his sheep.”

Decades ago, George Carlin did a comedic bit on what he said were “The Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television.”

Not surprisingly, the “F” word made the list. While the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) continues to regulate what happens on the air, their jurisdiction obviously stops there.

A Roselle Park woman faced fi nes earlier this year when she refused to remove a sign similar to the one displayed on McGlyn’s lawn. The small Union County borough had an obscenity ordinance in place.

In late July, ACLU-NJ announced that a superior court judge dismissed the Roselle Park woman’s case. The civil liberties advocacy organization also issued a statement concerning their participation in the case.

“The First Amendment exists specifically to make sure people can express strong opinions on political issues - or any other matter - without fear of punishment by the government,” stated ACLU-NJ Executive (Political- See Page 32)

If you’ve been treated for hearing loss, you know the difference it can make in your quality of life. So how can you pay it forward if someone you care about has hearing issues? We’ve got four tips you can use.

RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS Hearing loss prevalence continues to climb, with the World Health Organization estimating it will affect 10% of the population by 2050.

But not everyone with hearing difficulties is ready to admit it. Knowing some of the signs of hearing loss — loud TV volumes, trouble talking on the phone, frequent requests to repeat words, increased social isolation — can be the start of a life-changing conversation.

SHARE YOUR STORY Research indicates hearing aid wearers, on average, waited over a decade after a hearing loss diagnosis before getting their hearing technology. That’s a lot of time potentially missing out on the sounds of life — not to mention the physical, mental, social, and even financial consequences tied to untreated hearing loss. Sharing your better-hearing journey may inspire your loved one to kick-start their own.

LEND AN EAR Seeking hearing help

may be a lot easier with the support of family and friends. If your loved one is thinking about taking the path to better hearing, it can make a big difference when you: • Offer emotional support, patience, and encouragement • Serve as a sounding board for their hearing-health goals • Help them take note of their most challenging listening situations FLEX YOUR SKILLS Whether streaming from audio devices, connecting to hearing loops, interfacing with smarthome technology, or tracking brain health, today’s modern hearing devices are chock-full of beneficial functions. We love helping patients get the most from their hearing aids, but imparting your own tips, tricks, and favorite apps goes a long way too. Share your discoveries with a fun “tutorial.”

Do your New Year’s goals include better hearing? Whether your loved one needs a hearing evaluation or it’s been a while since your own checkup, our caring team can help. So, don’t wait. Call today to schedule your appointment. We can be reached at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) or visit our website at www.gardenstatehearing.com

Alternatives For Smoking Cessation And Lung Health

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

If you use the medication called Chantix, you need to stop according to the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

This medication has just been officially recalled by Pfizer, in all lot numbers, sizes and dosages. It goes by the chemical name varenicline.

The medication was FDA-approved for the masses in May 2006 because studies proved it worked better at placebo to get people off tobacco. The studies showed that 3 months over 40 percent of people using Chantix were able to quit smoking. But that doesn’t matter anymore because the medication was found to be tainted with a cancer-causing chemical called nitrosamine. For clarity I want to be sure you know that Zyban, a different drug altogether is not impacted by this recall. It is also used for smoking cessation and may serve as an alternative for some of you.

Here is a link to the official ANNOUNCEMENT about Chantix.

Since 2006 when the FDA approved it, millions of men and women took Chantix (varenicline) tablets to help them with their nicotine addiction. The reasons vary for why a person would want to quit smoking but for sure, smoking leads to disease and disability, as well as faster signs of skin aging due to the free radical damage done to the skin.

Everyone knows that it can increase one’s risk for emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung cancer. So to have a medication that helps such as Chantix was something that everyone welcomed.

It is ironic that those who feared lung cancer induced by smoking - who took Chantix to stop - now have to face the fact that they were likely exposed to the cancer-causing nitrosamine found in the drug itself!

According to the FDA official statement from their website: “Long-term ingestion of N-nitroso-varenicline may be associated with a theoretical potential increased cancer risk in humans, but there is no immediate risk to patients taking this medication. The health benefits of stopping smoking outweigh the theoretical potential cancer risk from the nitrosamine impurity in varenicline.

Nitrosamines are common in water and foods, including cured and grilled meats, dairy products and vegetables. Everyone is exposed to some level of nitrosamines.

These impurities may increase the risk of cancer if people are exposed to them above acceptable levels over long periods of time.”

If you took Chantix, I would not think you are in any immediate danger, so try not to worry yourself, but do take action to improve your lifestyle and increase antioxidants in your body. It would be great if you could have basic blood work drawn to make sure you’re healthy and strong. If you smoke (or if you took Chantix) I highly recommend Vitamin C and Catalase as two antioxidants to fight oxidative damage in the body. These are very strong antioxidants that work all over to do good housekeeping on your cells.

books and articles that significant research was conducted at Fort Detrick, Plum Island and elsewhere by the DOD to turn ticks into bioweapons causing severe disability, disease and even death to potential enemies.

One book – “Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons” by Kris Newby - includes interviews with Dr.

Willy Burgdorfer, the researcher credited with discovering Lyme disease who also worked as a bioweapons specialist. Combined with access to Burgdorfer’s lab files, the interviews suggest that he and other bioweapons specialists stuffed ticks with dangerous pathogens.

“To stop the spread of these horrific tickborne diseases, we must first understand their origins and how they came to be so pervasive,” Smith said.

“If the investigation concludes our government’s bioweapons program did not contribute to the proliferation of Lyme, we turn the page. And if it did, hopefully this investigation and research will contribute to a cure,” he said.

A December 2020 report from the Department of Health and Human Services’ Tick-Borne Disease Working Group found that Lyme disease is the most common tickborne disease with an estimated 300,000

new cases diagnosed each year - a figure that many researchers believe is underreported and could be up to 476,000 new cases annually. The Working Group and its issuance of an annual report were both established by previous legislation authored

by Smith that became law in 2016 as part of the 21st Century Cures Act. Smith’s amendment now moves to the Senate for consideration as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.

OCC Foundation’s 20th Annual Golf Classic Set For October 12

TOMS RIVER – Enjoy a nice game of golf while raising funds for scholarships!

The Ocean County College Foundation’s 20th Annual Golf Classic will take place on October 12 at Pine Barrens Golf Club in Jackson.

This event is held every year to benefit the Foundation and their goal to make higher education more available to Ocean County residents through scholarships and awards.

Everyone is invited to participate in the event. You can register to golf, become a sponsor or contribute an item to the prize board by visiting ocea.edu. Registration and brunch will begin at 9:30 a.m. followed by a shotgun start at 11 a.m.

“Since 1965 the OCC Foundation has provided support for thousands of deserving students,” Michael B. York, Chair of the OCC Foundation Board, said. “In fact, with your help, our Foundation has awarded over $17.5 million in direct scholarship support to local students and contributions to the college’s programs. Without the support of our friends in the community, this would not have been possible.

“Please consider supporting the OCC Foundation’s mission. Every little bit helps!” York added. “Thank you in advance for making a difference that will impact our students’ lives for years to come.”

Inside The Law Title Insurance: Why Every Purchaser Needs It

Marc S. Galella Esq.

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

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

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

you with legal assistance and take corrective measures in the event you are sued.

Fortunately, unlike automobile insurance where you pay your premium annually, monthly or quarterly, your title insurance premium is paid only once at the time of closing and this one-time premium will provide insurance coverage for as long as you own the home.

It is also important to note that if you have a mortgage you need to obtain both a Lender’s and Owner’s policy.

The Lender’s policy covers the mount of the mortgage that is due at the time any claim is made. An Owner’s policy covers your ownership interest, which is a relatively inexpensive addition to the policy premium. In New Jersey, title insurance is usually paid by the buyer.

After closing the buyer’s attorney may need to perform additional legal tasks to complete the conditions of the title policy such as filing additional deeds and discharge of mortgages. The purchaser will receive the final title policy in the mail approximately 6-8 weeks after closing.

While all of this may be overwhelming, we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full-service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Wills and Trusts, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate, Medicaid, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning, Powers of Attorney and much more.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

What Happened To The Dress Code?

Dear Joel, I can’t believe how people dress! People used to go out shopping dressed very casually, but it seems like since the quarantine, things have only gotten worse. I see people going out in the most offensive outfits. Do you think things will ever return to civility?

Answer: It sure does seem that lazy/casual has become the new dress code. I can only hope that as more people start returning to in-person work and back to school, they will perk up their wardrobes as well.

I also think that some out f it s lack so much modesty. Everyone should forget the Zoom call screens where you only see your face and buy a full-length mirror.

Donate Your Used Cell Phones For This Worthy Cause

Asu Rustenli, M.D. FACC

OCEAN COUNTY – Nancy Seibert has been collecting for “Cell Phones for Soldiers” since 2006. She has combined forces with Bayville based “Support the Troops Project,” led by Lloyd Mullikin since 2004, who mails these cards and packages overseas to our troops in harm’s way.

Cell phones collected, in any condition, and are not reused but sent to a recycler. Cords and cases are not necessary. The profits are then sent to the organization headquarters in Massachusetts from which Nancy orders her free, true 60-minute calling cards. They are provided for those military who are unable to contact their families without incurring monumental expense during their deployment.

They also accept monetary donation for help defray the cost of mailing these boxes. Checks can be made out to the VFW Post 9503 with a notation in the memo “Support the Troops.”

Checks can be mailed to Lloyd Mullikin, 307 Allaire Ave., Bayville, NJ 08721 or call him at 732-269-1397. It would then be a tax-deductible donation.

To date, Nancy has collected over 23,000 cell phones and donated over 99,000 calling cards.

If you have the name of a military member serving overseas, feel free to contact with their, name/rank and APO/FPO address and they will be happy to donate cards to them. She can be

contacted at 732-606-6040.

The tests are used to help detect neuromuscular abnormalities as well as Peripheral Neuropathy disorders.

When someone’s nerves become injured and/or damaged, either through accident, infection, or exposure to drugs they can develop neuropathic pain, or neuropathy.

Do you Suffer with Chronic Neuropathic Pain?

It’s estimated that in the United States, more than 20 million people have some form of neuropathic pain. There are many reasons why Neuropathy can become dangerous, if left untreated…

Each year in the United States there are about 86,000 diabetesrelated amputations. That is one of the most feared complications The neuropathic pain becomes more and severe as the of the disease. No one likes to think about that, but it’s a reality. nerve tissue becomes more and more inflamed.

Neuropathy can cause people to fall more often. Falls are a large percentage of fatal home accidents and have been increasing over “AFTER THE FIRST DAY MY FEET WERE NO LONGER COLD.” the years. More than 86% of the victims of a fall are 65 old or older.

In the beginning I was skeptical of the treatments because I have Sometimes a fall can cause serious problems like a broken hip tried many things over the last nine years and nothing has worked. (which can be fatal).

I was thrilled that after the first day my feet were no longer cold. I People with Neuropathy can have problems walking.

How is Neuropathy Diagnosed?

Neuropathic conditions are diagnosed through a neurological clinic examination utilizing medical technology known as nerve conduction velocity testing and Electromyography (EMG). These diagnostic tests measure muscle response and electrical activity in

Experiencing Neuropathy...

People with neuropathy can experience different levels of pain, from tingling and numbness to debilitating burning and shooting pains. For some, neuropathic pain affects sleep, social activities, and even cause depression. Most commonly, pain occurs in the hands

and feet, but it can also affect other areas of the body. Diagnosing Neuropathy can sometimes be strange…where this condition can develop even when there is no obvious cause, and it may appear some time after the initial injury or infection. To compound the problem, this pain can be challenging to treat successfully, and it is associated with some serious compromise to one’s quality of life.

How many treatments have you tried that left you hopeless?

Healthcare professionals may offer a variety of treatments, including antidepressants, opioid pain relievers, and lifestyle changes, but neuropathic pain can often be resistant to treatment.

To make matters even worse, these treatments can also come with unwanted side effects. For example, taking opioid pain relievers can cause nausea and constipation, and there is also the risk of these drugs becoming addictive.

“AFTER 8 TREATMENTS MY IMPROVEMENT WAS 80%.”

The Neuropathy in my feet was becoming unbearable at night.

I have stenosis of the spine and arthritis. After 8 treatments my improvement was 80%. I sleep thru the night, my stronger, and I can walk up and down stairs with little or no problems. The staff is excellent. - Elizabeth H.

Director Amol Sinha. “Today’s decision confirms that our position was correct: Roselle Park had no grounds to issue fines for a political sign, and the town’s use of its obscenity ordinance infringed upon fundamental rights protected by the First Amendment. It was an uncomplicated case.”

Bobbi Johnson-Pratt has lived in Lakehurst since 1974. She worked as a school crossing guard at the intersection of Route 70 and Orchard Street for approximately four or five years. Johnson-Pratt said the sign was easily visible from a couple of directions and added an unnecessary distraction.

“Some people who call themselves Republicans like to say they stand for family values,” Johnson-Pratt said. They’d be screaming their heads off if someone displayed an ‘F’ Trump flag.”

“There is freedom of speech, and then, there is your moral compass towards others,” continued Johnson-Pratt. “It’s a shame there are Republicans out there trying to do the right thing and are being

run over by their own party.”

One of the issues is that what constitutes morality may well be in the ears or eyes of the beholder. Like McGlyn, not everyone seems to think children need to be sheltered from what some consider obscene speech.

“Most kids are already cursing while out in public with their friends anyway,” posted Matty St. Germain. “Most parents refuse to acknowledge it or believe their own precious angels are a part of it.”

As far as Scott Neuman is concerned, the whole thing comes down to a lack of class.

He provided his views on people who used the word to make a point.

“You can say it, but you get the same mentality agreeing with you,” Neuman wrote. “Loud and classless and clueless supporting a guy that lied to the voters (and still does to today with the big lie) 30,000 times in four years. At least Biden is trying and not living on the golf course.”

Lakehurst Police Chief Matthew Kline did not respond to a request for comments on this matter. The Lakehurst governing body is all-Republican.
