–Photo by Jennifer PeacockLAKEHURST – A rite of spring again found local children scurrying about to find prize eggs. The Easter Egg Hunt came to Lakehurst on March 19. Families brought their young children to take part in the fun, as the Easter Bunny helped draw smiles from attendees.

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Residents will soon have relief from most unwanted knocks on their doors. Come April, residents will be able to sign up for the newly created no-knock registry, which will keep away solicitors away. The registry is open to all residents in town, including those living in gated senior communities. Residents will be able to fill out a form and submit that to the clerk’s office. The office will issue a decal which must be visibly placed on the resident’s property; the decals are made to be placed on the inside of a glass window or panel, but the ordinance does not require that it be placed there. There is a $1 processing fee for that decal to be mailed; the decal is free for those who pick it up at from the lerk’s office. That fee is subject to change. The form will be available in the clerk’s of-fice and on the township website. The online form may be printed and mailed or scanned

Easter Eggs Aplenty

By Jennifer Peacock It’s budget season, and while both Man-chester and Lakehurst school districts have introduced their 2016-17 budgets, both a waiting for mandated county approval before commenting on specifics. The Lakehurst school district will hold its public hearing on the budget at 7 p.m. April 26 at its elementary school. Lakehurst schools Business Administra-tor Barry Parliman told The Manchester Times that the tentative total budget will be $9,236,341. The total taxes to be raised are $1,233,466. The Manchester Board of Education ap-proved its tentative budget at its March 16

Grasshoppers at 6:35 p.m. at FirstEnergy Park. “I am super excited,” said Tafrow, a 1999 graduate of Toms River High School East

regular meeting. That Board must adopt a “doctrine of necessity” to approve its budget since many of the Board members have relatives directly impacted by the budget. On that meeting’s agenda, the budget items were listed as: General Fund Rev-enue, $51,232,018; Special Revenue Fund Revenues, $1,068,052; Debt Service Fund Revenues, $3,412,581; General Fund Tax Levy, $42,772,366; and Debt Service Fund Tax Levy, $2,820,179. Manchester schools Business Admin-istrator Craig Lorentzen said the Board tentatively will hold a public hearing on the budget at its May 4 meeting. The Board meets at Ridgeway Elementary at 7:30 p.m.

Raiders’ band. “Just the other day, when we began setting up the park, we had a good feeling. All of our planning is starting to happen.” There will be improvements at FirstEnergy Park in the team’s 16th season, all in the South Atlantic League. “We have made a nice invest-

a big rock climbing wall-trampoline combination. We will do a lot of social media interaction with our fans on our video board. Fans will be able to tweet pictures of themselves. They will receive a tweet saying, ‘Watch for your pictures,’ and in the next two minutes the tweets will be on the board.” Fans can take in some new food options too. “In terms of food, we will have some crazy pork roll options,” he said. “We are working on what they will be. They will be big and exciting and we will start marketing them shortly.” There will also be a Batman versus Su-perman Night when Lakewood and West Virginia’s players will be dressed as characters. On the schedule is a Pirates and Princess Party for children. Circle May 22 on your calendar. “We will have a big debut of something to happen,” Tafrow said. “You can read into that what you will. It will be with us for good.” Be on the lookout for porkroll, cheese and egg bobble heads and bobble heads of the Republican and Democratic pres-idential candidates. The South Pacific Dancers will perform in July as part of Hawaiian Luau Day. “There will be post game entertainment with fire throwing objects, an Hawaiian band and a pig roast,” Tafrow said.

tertainment for spectators of all ages. “We want people to have a good time and enjoy a winning team in a family friendly environment,” Tafrow said. “We want the first timers to come back. There are people who have never been here before. We want people to come out and wonder, ‘What’s happening at FirstEn-ergy Park?’ Our ownership group (the American Baseball company) lets us do what we want. There is always creativity here and the freedom to create is the fun part of it.” Tafrow said nearly seven million fans have streamed through the turnstiles for regular-season home games. “We have a chance at hitting seven million by the end of this year,” he said. “We are successful because we have kept things fresh. We have creative market-ing, new programs, new things. We can’t control what happens on the field. Our job is to have people come to the park. “You don’t have to watch the games. You can walk the concourse, try the food, enjoy the Kids Zone and have fun on Thirsty Thursday, our most popular event. You can enjoy yourself for three or four hours.” Tafrow said the game day staff consists of nearly 270 persons. “We have food and beverage people, ushers, ticket takers, parking lot workers, merchandise and security people,” he said. “That is a pretty big staff. They are the first people our fans interact with. Some of the workers have been here since we started. Our fans see the same faces

when the gates open and it’s definitely warming.” Most recently the team’s senior vice president of business operations, Ta-frow is in charge of all aspects of the BlueClaws’ business operation, includ-ing ticket packages and group outings, cor porate par tnerships, market ing, stadium operations, food and beverage and special events. He is also responsible for continuing, forging and expanding business relationships within the Jersey Shore community.

Tafrow, a graduate of Seton Hall Uni-versity where he majored in f inance, worked in food and beverage, corporate sales and marketing with the BlueClaws before becoming their general manager. He resides in Hazlet with his wife, Christine, and daughter, Skye. “We are not brain surgeons or doctors,” he said, “but I think what we do is very important for families and communities. You see the fruits of your labor come to light. I worked a short stint in corporate for six months to see what the real world is like and I worked a nine to five job. Here I am working a lot of hours, but I really enjoy it. I hope everyone is that fortunate.”

and e-mailed to the clerk’s office. “The ordinance is pret ty t ight. It still allows for charitable and political contact,” Mayor Kenneth Palmer said. “The town needs it because people, when they go home, want to be able to relax and not have constant people at their door. It really helps for the public good.” Only those who need permits to can-vas—itinerant salespersons, peddlers, and vendors—must abide by the no-knock registry. Political and religious groups are not covered by the no-knock registry and will not be due to First Amendment issues, municipal attorney Angela Koutsouris said. “This is a quality-of-life issue,” Coun-cil President James Vaccaro Sr. said. “We want to improve the quality of life in Manchester, and the no-knock ordinance addresses this….We went to other surrounding communities to see what they enacted and we refined ours to address Manchester problems and

also strengthen ours compared to their ordinances.” Residents complaining of sales-people inter r upt ing eve-ning dinners approached Council last September asking that the town adopt a no -k nock r eg i s t r y. Un l i ke some neighboring tow ns , t he com-p l a i n t s c o m i n g f rom Manchester were about sales-people and not real estate agents looking to purchase homes. Toms River, Jackson, and Brick have enacted ordinances that strengthen their solicitation codes as well. Although the ordinances apply to salespersons in general, cries from residents about unwanted real estate solicitations prompted the changes in those towns. Lakehurst adopted its no-knock reg-istry in September. There, complaints centered on aggressive solar panel

salespeople. As of press time, 71 resi-dents have signed up for the no-knock

registry there, borough clerk Ber-nadette Dugan said.

“They park in my drive-way at dinner t ime. I

p ol i t e ly t e l l t he m I’m not interested. But then they send someone different a week later,” res-ident Daniel Gil-ber t told Council last September. He

d id not p rov ide a name of the company,

but said there are sever-al companies that send out

salespeople frequently. Those wishing to go door-to-door must obtain a permit from the clerk’s office after gaining approval to solicit. A ven-dor can face a $1,000 fine and up to 90 days community service for violating the no-knock ordinance. Each violation is considered a separate offense. The clerk’s office e-mail address is [email protected].

LAKEWOOD – Before the BlueClaws leave for a season-opening road trip, fans can see the team for the first time on April 4 when the BlueClaws meet Brookdale Community College in an exhibition game at FirstEnergy Park. Admission to the exhibition game is free and seating is general admission. Gates will open at 6 p.m. and first pitch is at 6:35 p.m. Concession stands will be open. “We’re very excited to be able to open the ballpark and have our fans see the team be-fore they head out for a week on the road,” said BlueClaws General Manager Chris Tafrow. “It should be a great night for our players and fans alike as we get ready for Opening Day on April 14.” Shawn Williams, who managed the BlueClaws last year, returns to manage the team again this season. The BlueClaws Opening Day roster will be announced at a later date. Brookdale has won 33 Garden State Athletic Conference championships, 13 Region XIX titles, four Northeast District titles, and made 13 appearances in the NJCAA World Series. John “The Count” Montefusco and Denny Walling are two of the former Brookdale baseball players that went on to play in the big leagues. Opening day at FirstEnergy Park on April 14 is presented by Jenkinson’s Boardwalk and is a Thirsty Thursday with dollar beer and soda plus 50-cent wings. April 15, 16, and 17 comprise Asbury Park Press Dollar Weekend, with $1 tickets at those three games. Tickets for the 2016 are available by calling 732-901-7000 option 3 or online at BlueClaws.com.

Letters To The EditorEditorial

My wife and I are ex-tremely disappointed in Comcast. First, they closed the handy little office in our hometown, and now they have dropped the “YES” Network from their rotation of channels. “YES” is the home of the New York Yan-kees. We are Yankee fans, and with baseball season coming upon us we’d like to continue to see our team. After all, in the 2 and 1/2 years since we’ve moved here from North Jersey, we have always been able to have that channel avail-able. It is one of the few we watch. This might be bearable if their operators didn’t come up with ridiculous excuses when I call to complain. The best I’ve heard was “We’re protecting you from YES, they are trying to raise your rates.” Mean-while, they (Comcast) have just raised our rates despite the fact that we no longer get one of our favorite channels. There should be a reduction to our bill if a favorite channel is taken away; not an increase. And “protection” like this I can live without. From the very start of our time down here, Comcast has been problematic for us (compared to the relatively trouble-free time we had with them up north.) And, from what I gather, we are not alone in our dissatis-faction. I hope this can be resolved before Opening Day! Be-

After another winter of se-vere snowstorms and floods, I look forward to March 20, first day of spring, balmy weather and blooming flow-ers. Hundreds of communities welcome spring with an ob-servance of Great American Meatout, asking neighbors to explore a healthy, com-passionate diet of vegeta-bles, fruits, legumes, and grains. Indeed, 56 percent of re-spondents to a GlobalMeat-News poll said that they were or are reducing meat intake. U.S. per capita red meat consumpt ion has dropped by more than 16 percent since 1999. Mainstream publications like Parade, Better Homes and Gardens, and Eating Well are touting vegan rec-ipes. Even the f inancial investment community is betting on plant-based meat start-ups, like Beyond Meat or Impossible Foods, while warning clients about the upcoming “death of meat.” The reasons are ample. Last year, the World Health Organization found can-cer to be associated with consumption of processed meats. The Dietary Guide-lines Advisory Committee recommended reduced meat consumption. The media keeps exposing atrocities

Gov. Chris Christie’s De-partment of Environmen-tal Protection is shame-fully refusing to promise public hearings and a pub-lic comment period for their Liberty State Park commercial izat ion and privatization plans. Their development proposals re-port and press statements have only pledged what will inevitably be a rigged, invitation-only stakehold-er process. The governor should tot a l ly abandon these plans which would se-verely harm Liberty State Park’s public access, but if he doesn’t , the DEP must provide a full public participation process for our treasured park behind Lady Liberty. DEP Commissioner Bob Martin has ignored letters and resolutions calling for this essential process from the Friends of Lib-er ty State Park, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, Senators Sandra Cunning-ham, Stephen Sweeney, Loretta Weinberg, Assem-blypeople Raj Mukherji, Angela McK night and Nick Chiaravalloti and the Jersey City Council and the Hudson County Board

What a difference four years make. At that time, Mitt Romney ate up Don-ald Trump’s endorsement. However, now is a differ-ent time. I’ve decided that either the regular Republicans do not want Mr. Trump elected at any price or they don’t want Mr. Trump, an outsider to politics, to win! Could that really be the reason – who knows? I do think that if people play nice with politicians, they may win; but a big mouth politician, not so much. Time will tell. Is Mr. Tr ump a “big mouth?” You bet he is, but being a person who loves America and an outsider may be just what America needs. God help us one and all as we vote with our hearts.Bette KooremanWhiting

Each year when stan-dardized test scores hit the papers, the cries of outraged parents are sure to follow. That pattern has been con-sistent. Parents’ concerns about how school districts handle education are war-ranted, too. But the role of school officials is but one key to the education puzzle. Parents must look at their own role in their child’s education. Childrens’ education does not exist in a vacuum with-in the school. All parents would do well to remem-ber that. While fair and strong criticism of teachers, schools and administrations is often warranted and de-sirable, parents must also consider their own part in broadening their child’s knowledge. Take a moment, look at your home and ask yourself a few questions. Do you read to your child on a regular ba-sis? Do you encourage your child to read? What was the last book you bought for your child? Does the tele-vision take up more of your child’s time than reading or homework, and if so, why? How often do you look over

Parents Also Responsible For Education

your child’s homework to see what they are studying? These are not just im-portant questions, they are essential. Getting your children involved in ballet and soccer and baseball is wonderful and enriching, but without the right an-swers to the above, those activities are just a part of what children need. Several school districts offer resources for parents who may feel ill equipped in helping their child be the best students they can. Jackson School District, for example, has free “Parents University” events, each session helping parents on a particular topic, such as encouraging reading. Visit any school district’s website, and you’ll find a Parents section. We firmly believe in teacher accountability and testing, streamlined ad-ministrations and a focus on the three R’s. But a good education does not begin and end with teachers. Par-ents who do not play a role in their child’s education should be the last to speak up when test scores do not meet expectations.

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders has recognized March as American Red Cross Month honoring all those who work and volunteer in the community during disasters, assisting veterans, by donating blood, taking life-saving courses or providing financial donations to support the mission of the Red Cross which is to prevent and alleviate hu-man suffering in the face of emergencies. Pictured is Freeholder Virginia E. “Ginny” Haines (left) presenting the Freeholder proclamation to Kathleen Dotoli, American Red Cross board member.

OCEAN COU NTY – A new websi t e , a r e -v ised events calendar, expanded distribution of information, aggressive marketing and the con-tinuation of promotional g r a nt s a re a l l pa r t of Ocean County’s effor ts to draw more tourists to the region. “Ocean Count y now accounts for more than 10 percent of all tourism dollars generated in the st ate and in 2015 that equaled $4.6 bi l l ion ,” said Ocean County Free-holder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the Division of Business Development and Tour-

ism. “We have to keep the momentum going and we are taking steps to make sure everyone knows just how great a place Ocean County is for a vacation.” Vicari and Dana Lancel-lotti, director of Business Development and Tour-ism, recent ly out l ined the county’s increased efforts to draw more peo-ple and ultimately more tourism dollars here. The Ocean County Di-vision of Business De-velopment and Tourism continues to launch new adver t ising in it iat ives using mult i-media, de-mographically-targeted, carefully designed cam-

paigns in Pennsylvania, Maine, New York, Del-awa re , Ma r yla nd a nd Washington, D.C. as well as targeted markets in Canada. “It’s important we max-imize our marketing dol-la r s i n order to reach the greatest number of people th rough a host of multi-media outlets,” Vicari said. “We already know Ocean County is a great place to visit. We have to make sure that message i s ge t t i ng to everyone else. With new technologies our market-ing efforts are reaching thousands of potent ial visitors.”

Lancellot ti said tour-ism mater ials are now p r ov id e d t o m i l i t a r y base com mu n it ie s i n -cluding the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and Naval Weapons Sta-tion Earl in Colts Neck. “ We wa nt t o t a rge t more gover n ment and mil itar y t ravelers who are anxious to explore new destinations within a short drive from their base,” she said. Also, OceanCount y-Tourism.com, the coun-ty’s tourism website, is undergoing some changes and will have a new re-freshed look soon. T he websi t e , wh ich reached 189,000 visitors in 2015, also will have a revised events calendar, which will be combined with the Ocean County Cult u ral and Her it age events calendar. “The new site will be easier to navigate and provide useful informa-tion at your fingertips,” Vicar i said. “We want potential visitors to know all that the county has to offer and we want to make sure that informa-tion is easy to find.” Tourism also has a so-cial media page used to promote events through-out the week in venues

a c r o s s t he c ou n t y. A weekly events newsletter also is emailed directly to 3,500 people, shared on Facebook and linked to the website. “We also work in part-nership with other tour-i sm lea de r s i n Ocea n Cou nt y,” Vica r i s a id . “Getting the word out is key to a successful tour-ism season. The members of our Tourism Advisory Council do a great job to promote Ocean County.” T h e O c e a n C ou n t y Tourism Matching Grant P romot ion a l p rog r a m also continues providing matching funds to towns a nd non-prof i t s t o be used to promote events and tou r ism prog rams held throughout the year. “This program has been supported by the Board of Freeholders for more than 20 years,” Vicar i said. “This assists in our efforts to let people know that a lot of great events and programs are waiting for them when they visit Ocean County.” Vicari said the county’s ef for t s a re helpi ng to attract more vacationers than ever before.“More and more visitors continue to be attracted to our 44 miles of white sandy beaches, the Bar-

negat Bay, the Pinelands and other dest inat ions such as Six Flags and our boardwalks,” Vicari said. “For our residents, this means a st ronger local economy, employ ment opportunities and a more stable tax base.” Ocean County ranks t h i rd i n t he s t a t e fo r tour ism dollars behind Atlantic and Cape May counties. In 2015, Ocean County tourism generat-ed $451.4 million in state and local tax revenue. Additionally, more than 37,000 tour ism-related jobs were created in the county. “All of us on the Board of Freeholders are proud of the g reat at t r ibutes Oce a n Cou nt y ha s t o offer,” said Freeholder Di rec tor Joh n P. Kel-ly. “County government also provides many vis-itor friendly areas from our parks to ou r open space to a great library system that provides nu-merous leisure activity programs. With so much to offer, I am not sure why people would travel anywhere else.”

MANCHESTER – Manchester Township has established a “Safe Exchange Zone” at the Municipal Complex where residents can complete online purchase transactions and make child custodial exchanges. The “Safe Exchange Zone” was created as a means of addressing safety concerns brought about by patrons involved with online pur-chases from websites such as Craigslist, eBay, Facebook and classified ads, as well as to provide a safe location for families with visitation rights to make custodial exchanges. This “Safe Exchange Zone,” which is located in the main visitor parking lot on the northeast side of the Manchester Township Municipal Complex on Colonial Drive, is well-lit and under continuous video surveillance. The designated exchange area consists of two clearly marked parking spaces adjacent to town hall, where buyers, sellers and families can meet and make exchanges. The marked area is under 24-hour video surveillance, which is recorded by state-of-the-art high definition security cameras. While the “Safe Exchange Zone” provides a safe area for buyers and sellers to meet, it is important to remember that people you meet online are strangers and can pose dangers. Not every buyer or seller you meet online is someone who is true with their intent. When making arrangements to complete online transactions face-to-face, residents are reminded: to complete all transactions during daylight hours, if possible, bring a cell phone in case of emergency, notify friends or family about the details of the

exchange beforehand, never invite strangers to their home or agree to meet at a stranger’s home and reconsider any transaction with an individual who refuses to meet at a “Safe Exchange Zone.” Township and/or police department employ-ees may not be asked to act as witnesses, or be a part of these transactions in any capacity.

WHITING – The following events are from Crestwood Village IV Bocce Club: On April 23, the Crestwood Village IV Boc-ce Club will host its Super Pancake Breakfast.

TOMS RIVER – If you whiten your teeth between now and June 30, you will be help-ing families whose children have cancer or children who need cleft palate surgery. Each year Toms River dentist Dr. Ron Rotem par-ticipates in the Smiles for Life Campaign by donating 100 percent of his time whitening teeth. Last year, Rotem donated $1,800 from the Smiles for Life Campaign to Ocean of Love, a nonprofit organization that aids families whose children have cancer, and The Smile Train, which provides surgery for children who need cleft palate surgery. Through the national Smiles for Life Campaign, Rotem has donated more than $55,000 during the past 12 years to charities. Rotem, a member of the national Crown

Local Dentist Donates His Fees To Smiles For Life

Council, says, “If you are planning to pro-fessionally whiten your teeth, why not take this opportunity to help a child.” To contribute to the 2016 Smiles for Life Campaign, call Rotem Dental Care to reserve a date for whitening 732–341–8500. Dr. Rotem will donate 100 percent of the cost of materials and his time for the whitening, which will directly benefit Ocean of Love and The Smile Train. Since 1998, The Smiles for Life Foundation, the charitable arm of the Crown Council, has raised more than $30 million for children’s charities across North America because members of Crown Council dental practices have agreed to donate the cost of professional tooth whitening during the Smiles for Life campaign.

JOINT BASE – The Joint Base has teamed up with national, state and local Chambers of Commerce to host a two-day Veterans’ Career Summit on April 7 and 8. The sum-mit will focus on matching up transitioning military members, recent veterans and their family members with potential private-sector employers. The summit will complement the base’s Transition Assistance program, managed by the Military and Family Support Center. TAP is a national program that helps service members and their families, transition from the military to civilian life with information, guidance and

assistance. Col. Charles Kelm, 87th Mission Support Group commander, said he hopes to see around 1,000 attendees meet up with 200 or more local and national companies. “We are hoping to have employers attend that are able to offer jobs on the spot, not just an in-terview or follow-up appointment,” Kelm said. “Our measurement of success is the number of jobs taken away by transitioning service mem-bers. (Joint Base) Lewis-McChord had 212 at theirs, we’re trying to match that or beat it.” For more information, contact the JB MDL Public Affairs Office at 609-754-2104.

OCEAN COUNTY – The U.S. Environmen-tal Protection Agency has awarded a grant of $184,548 to Ocean County College to fund wetlands monitoring work by the Barnegat Bay Partnership and the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary. This grant was one of three awards to agencies in New Jersey to better protect the state’s wetlands. “Wetlands play a critical role in alleviating harmful effects of climate change, protecting against flooding and storm surges,” said EPA Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck. “These grants will help strengthen shorelines and the health of wetlands, protecting water quality and fish and wildlife habitats.” The EPA grant will be used to develop mon-itoring procedures to assess the condition and progress of tidal marsh restoration sites. The

EPA Grant To Fund Barnegat Bay Wetlands Monitoring

project will build on the wetland monitoring work that the BBP has already been doing in collaboration with the Partnership for the Del-aware Estuary. The BBP and PDE will evaluate restoration progress in the context of the ongoing long-term intensive monitoring and watershed-wide rapid assessment monitoring being conducted in tidal marshes in the Barnegat and Delaware estuaries. “Superstorm Sandy had a devastating impact on many of the Barnegat Bay’s wetlands,” said Dr. Stan Hales, BBP director. “The storm caused extensive loss from the edges and interiors of marshes. The storm damage also included com-plex changes to the marsh surface. It’s important to understand these changes and monitor the effectiveness of wetlands restoration projects.”

MANCHESTER – The Manchester Township Alliance will sponsor the fifth annual Penguin Plunge. This event helps raise money for the prom and graduation for the students of the Manchester Township Regional Day School. This is a school for special children with special needs. One hundred percent of the profits of this event will go to the Regional Day School students. Come brave the icy waters of the Whiting Lake, Lake Road, for a wonderful cause on April 9 at 1 p.m. There is an age minimum of 12 years old. Each

minor must be accompanied by an adult 18 years or older. A maximum of three minors may register per one adult. A plunge is considered entering the water up to your waist. To register or make a tax deductible donation, contact: Linda McCarthy at 732-928-1500 or [email protected] or Manchester Alliance Coordinator Tracy Sloan at 732-657-7892 or [email protected]. Manchester PAL will be serving hot chocolate and coffee for the event.

LAKEHURST – The Borough of Lake-hurst has contracted with Emergency Communications Network to l icense its CodeRED high-speed notification solution. The CodeRED system provides Lakehurst officials the ability to quickly deliver messages to targeted areas or the entire Borough of Lakehurst. Such systems are only as good as the telephone number database supporting them. “If your phone number is not in the database, you will not be called.” One of the reasons the CodeRED system was selected is it gives individuals and businesses the ability to add their own phone numbers directly into the system’s database, an extremely important feature. No one should automatically assume his or her phone number is included. All individuals and businesses are encouraged to enroll. Required information includes first and last name, street address (physical address, no P.O. boxes), city, state, zip

Enroll In Lakehurst CodeRED code, and primary phone number, addition-al phone numbers can be entered as well. All businesses should register, as well as all individuals who have unlisted phone numbers, who have changed their phone number or address within the past year, and those who use a cellular phone or VoIP phone as their primary number. CodeRED allows geographically based delivery, which means street addresses are required to ensure emergency notification calls are received by the proper individuals in a given situation. The system works for cell phones too, but need to have an asso-ciated street address to provide relevant messages. CodeRED gives those who want to be included an easy and secure method for inputting information. The data collected will only be used for emergency notifica-tion purposes. To fill out the form for CodeRED, visit the borough website at lakehurstnj.org.

Alzheimer’s And Hearing Loss: Early Detection May Alleviate Symptoms According to a study attributed to the Alz-heimer’s Association, in conjunction with the Better Hearing Institute (BHI), strong evidence suggests that hearing impairment contributes to the progression of mental impairment in older adults. What is Alzheimer’s? Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive and fatal brain disease that affects behavior, cognition and memory loss in over 26 million people worldwide. Alzheimer’s is typically diagnosed in in-dividuals age 65 and older. The number of those affected is expected to rapidly increase as our nation’s aging population explodes over the next 30 years. When hearing loss or impairment goes undetected, it can in-terrupt the brain’s understanding of spoken language and sounds. When someone is ex-periencing both Alzheimer’s and hearing loss symptoms, their ability to understand can sharply decrease. If their hearing issues were diagnosed and treated earlier, the means of successfully managing the disease increase. The BHI’s research has discovered that people with Alzheimer’s who regularly wear hearing devices in combination with a consistently practiced aural retraining therapy program are able to diminish the wide range of Alzheimer’s symptoms. If you are concerned that you or a loved one might

be experiencing the early warning signs of Alzheimer’s, it is recommended that you maintain your regular hearing evaluations. Working with your hearing health care professional to detect these warning signs as early as possible is a critical first step in confirming an accurate diagnosis and creat-ing an effective long-term plan of treatment for Alzheimer’s and hearing loss.

Ten Signs To Watch Out For The Alzheimer’s Early Detection Alliance (AEDA) campaign, “Know The Ten Signs: Early Detection Matters,” is working to identify the early signs of Alzheimer’s. Ac-cording to the AEDA, the 10 signs to watch for include:1. Memory changes that disrupt daily life.2. Challenges in planning or solving prob-lems.3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks.4. Confusion with time or place.5. Trouble understanding visual images and special relationship.6. New problems with words in speaking or writing.7. Misplacing things and losing ability to retrace steps.8. Decreased or poor judgment.9. Withdrawal from work or social activities.10. Changes in mood or personality.

NEW JERSEY – Just as you would shovel your walkway to help prevent visitors from slipping after a snow storm, it’s important to take precautions when it comes to the storage of medications in your home. To help avoid accidental injury or the possibility of abuse, pharmacists at Barn-abas Health Retail Pharmacy at Mon-mouth Medical Center in Long Branch offer these suggestions for ensuring prescription and over-the-counter med-ications are stored properly and safely. Store medications in a cool, dry place, not in the bathroom, which can often be warm and humid. Always keep medications out of the reach of children and pets. Avoid taking medicine in front of chil-dren; they may sometimes mimic adults. Consider locking medications, such as narcotics, in a drawer or cabinet. It may be helpful to take your pills over a counter or table. If anything accidentally

drops, it will be easier to find than if it lands on the floor where it can be picked up by a pet or child. Keep all medications in their original containers. In addition to helping to avoid confusion, the amber colored-bottled helps protect pills from the light. Don’t leave medications out, even those you take every day. If there is ever any doubt that an adult or child has taken the wrong medication or something that wasn’t prescribed to him/her, contact Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222. For more information about proper drug storage, consider talking to your local pharmacist. Pharmacists at Barnabas Health Retail Pharmacy at Monmouth Medical Center are available, to answer any questions you may have. Call them at 732-923-6111 or stop by the pharmacy located in the Main Lobby. The pharmacy is open Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.How Statins Cause Diabetes

When you are told you have high cholesterol, you assume it comes from eating too much fat, right? After all, cholesterol is a lipid of “fat” and that seems like normal reasoning. If you think high cholesterol is due to a high-fat diet, you’re wrong. Very little fat from foods become cholesterol. What makes high cholesterol, is consumption of sugar and carbohydrates, soda, can-dy, cake, potato chips, bread, pasta and other carbohydrates. So to make this clear, high cholesterol and triglyceride almost always occur as a consequence of eating too many sweets, not butter or eggs, okay? If your body turns excess sugar into cholesterol, and statins reduce the cholesterol formation, then where does all the sugar go when you take a statin drug? It’s a good question, and I need to give you an answer so you can get well. If you tell your liver to “knock it off and stop making cholesterol” then it’s going to push all the sugar (glucose) back out of the liver and into your blood stream rather than turn it into cholesterol. It’s just going to lock the door and tell the sugar, “Get out!” When the doc finds excess sugar in your blood, you’re told you have “di-abetes.” Then you start driving in the fast lane of a multi-billion dollar busi-ness, one complete with shots, drugs and scary complications (amputations, blindness). If we personally met and you told me you had diabetes, I won’t even take a breath before I ask, “Are you by chance taking a statin?” Please make sure you have diabetes, the real disorder, and not a man-made

disease in-duced by a medication you ne e d -ed for high cholesterol. This is basic health 101, guys. The treatment plan differs dramatically if you have diabetes versus drug-induced hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Statins block endogenous production of cholesterol, meaning your internal production, the cholesterol that you make, not eat. You see, many of you still think statins block the fat (cho-lesterol) you get when you eat a bacon cheeseburger. That’s not true. Statins don’t reduce cholesterol from exog-enous (external) sources, that bacon cheeseburger is going straight to your arteries even if you take a statin. So is the cherry croissant you eat for dessert. The statins offset the cholesterol you make, not eat. You can’t negate a greasy snack with one tiny pill. Because statins block your own en-dogenous cholesterol production in the liver, they force your liver to ‘spit out’ the glucose that comes from eating sugary, starchy foods. Normally, your liver would turn that PB & J sandwich into cholesterol, but instead, the glucose gets pushed back into your bloodstream. In your relentless quest to lower choles-terol, you may be giving yourself diabe-tes. I recommend reducing cholesterol with diet and exercise and healthy EFAs (essential fatty acids like fish oil, chia seed oil, etc). Can you lower cholesterol without a statin? “Surprise, surprise, surprise” like Gomer Pyle used to say… of course you can! And avoiding statins is way better for your blood sugar levels.

MANCHESTER – The Ocean County Library Manchester branch will present a special lecture on the dangers of syn-thetic marijuana. The free event is 6:30 to 8 p.m. on April 7 at the library, 21 Colonial Drive. Teens and adults are encouraged to attend. Synthetic marijuana has been commonly thought of as a cheap version of natural cannabis. The event hopes to unmask it for what it really is—a chemical spray of unknown strength, often accompanied by severe side effects. Professionally packaged and found in stores or on the Internet, synthetic mar-ijuana, bath salts and other “designer

drugs” have grabbed recent headlines due to the unpredictable, dangerous behaviors and fatalities resulting from use of these illegal synthetic drugs. In an effort to educate teens, parents, professionals and educators retired Lt. Joe Pangaro has created a seminar that will explore the different types of designer drugs, including synthetic marijuana, bath salts and other analogues. Participants will be trained in the recog-nition of the signs and symptoms of their use, as well as the dangers associated with these drugs. Continuing Education credits are avail-able for educators and professionals who attend this program.

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County residents can take advantage of securely disposing personal papers and docu-ments through the county’s free Resi-dential Document Shredding program beginning in April. “In 2015, a total of 94 tons or 188,000 pounds of documents were collected and shredded during our collection dates,” said Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management The program will be held in 18 differ-ent locations throughout Ocean County with the first date and location being 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., April 2 at the Southern Ocean County Recycling Center, 379 Haywood Road, Stafford Township. “Ocean County is a large county and we make every effort to make this program easily accessible to all our citizens,” Little said. “With so much focus on identity theft this program helps to keep personal and important information out of the hands of people who may use it for the wrong reasons.” “This program was first started in 2008 and has grown in popularity with our residents,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, who also serves as director of Law and Public Safety. “This Board of Freeholders is pleased to provide this service which, in addition to the environmental benefit, is an extra layer of security for our citizens.” The work is being performed by Au-toshred of Toms River. Residents are not required to register for this free program and can bring six boxes or bags each day. The program is for all paper documents and paper forms. Paperclips and staples do not have to be removed. Little noted the shredding unit features an automatic feeding and dumping system, which eliminates the need for human contact with a resident’s docu-ments. Events will run their complete scheduled time or until the truck is full. The truck capacity is 8,000 pounds.

Applying For Social Security Disability Benefits

When a person becomes totally dis-abled, he or she may be eligible for So-cial Security Disability Benefits, should this disability occur prior to eligibility for Social Security Retirement Benefits. One should keep in mind when working with Social Security, you can choose a representative to actually work for you. The Social Security Administration with work with your representative, such as an attorney, providing the appropriate form is executed and submitted. Should you become totally disabled, you should apply for Social Security Disability Benefits immediately. Those benefits will not begin until the sixth full month of your disability. It should be further noted that there is a one month waiting period for benefits. This waiting period begins with the first full month that Social Security determines you to be totally disabled. Applications can be made by tele-phone, or via the Internet. If an ap-plication is made over the phone, an appointment for same should be made with a representative of Social Security in advance. When applying for benefits, one should keep in mind that it does take longer to process disability claims than to pro-

cess general retirement claims. This is greatly due to the time it takes to gather, review and assess the nature of your disability and whether you are able to work in any capacity. An attorney can be helpful in sub-mitting your application for benefits. Working on your behalf, an attorney can be assigned as your representative. All correspondence will then flow through your attorney’s office. This will enable the attorney to facilitate the process by gathering the necessary medical evi-dence, as well as financial information that is reviewed by the administration. Should you initially be denied bene-fits, the attorney can be most helpful in appealing said decision. Furthermore, attorneys who specialize in Social Secu-rity Disability Benefits applications will be able to assist you in filing in the most expeditious manner. Then, in the event of a necessary appeal, your attorney will have a file containing organized evidence to help facilitate your appeal. Should you have any questions regard-ing this information or filing for Social Security Disability Benefits, you can contact the attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates and an attorney will be glad to assist you.

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566. “Home health care with feeling. Joel Markel is President of Preferred Home Health Care and Nurs-ing services inc. serving all of New Jersey in adult, senior and pediatric home health care.”

Dear Readers, We have all had our days where anger seems to take over. We lash out at the ones we love and feel guilty afterward. They don’t happen too often, here’s hoping, and we usually apologize and forgive (the alternative is to hold a grudge, and feel sad and depressed). It is important to recognize that if this is persistent it could be a disorder of some kind. That being said, there are foods that can actually help us in staying calm. I loved this and wanted to share: Kiwis - Kiwis are filled with Vitamin C and actually contain more Vitamin C per fruit than oranges. (Who’d have known?) Pumpkin Seeds - Thought that they were only popular during the Hallow-een season? Think again, pumpkin seeds are eaten by Americans all year through. They are filled with Magne-sium. They also reduce the effects of anxiety, a known killer to our health. Leafy Vegetables - Another goody loaded with magnesium. Americans enjoy eating iceberg lettuce but there are so many more leafy vegetables now avai lable that a re loaded in healthy stuff. Finally, chamomile tea is almost as

good as a kiss good n ig ht . It is a great and hea lthy way to end the day (it is related to the daisy family) and a nightly cupful can reduce the day’s stress. And for my male readers, I am not sure of the nutr it ional benef its to women, but Brazil nuts have a repu-tation of raising the libido. Now that sounds simple. You can find them in better supermarkets throughout the entire year. They are available without the shell. I especially enjoyed sharing this in-formation in that it is an inexpensive way of reducing stress and anxiety .It is important to remember that if aller-gies or medications are of concern, please consult your doctor. Wishing you a great week with less stress.Joel

NEW JERSEY – New Jersey Blood Ser-vices, a division of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply of all blood types, but especially O-negative – the “universal” blood, which can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives need to be sched-uled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several blood types is running below the desired target level. “It’s simple: hospital patient demand for blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,” said NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are always reasons, but we have to overcome that for the sake of hospital patients who need us.” “This is one of the toughest times of the year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for our dedicated supporters to roll up their sleeves to make sure we’re able to provide our hospital partners with whatever they need to take care of their patients.” Blood products have a short shelf life – from five to 42 days, so constant re-plenishment is necessary. Each and every day there are patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and

plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood products can’t be manufactured. They can only come from volunteer blood donors who take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor center. To donate blood or for information on how to organize a blood drive, call 800-933-2566 or visit nybloodcenter.org. If you cannot donate but still wish to par-ticipate in bringing crucial blood products to patients in need, ask someone to donate for you, or consider volunteering at a local blood drive. Any company, community organization, place of worship or individual may host a blood drive. NYBC also offers special community service scholarships for stu-dents who organize community blood drives during summer months. Blood do-nors receive free mini-medical exams on site including information about their tem-perature, blood pressure and hematocrit level. Eligible donors include those people at least age 16 (with parental permission or consent), who weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, are in good health and meet all Food and Drug Administration and NY or NJ State Department of Health donor criteria. People over 75 may donate with a doctor’s note.

Aspiring chefs and home cooks alike ask my advice about how they can get better in the kitchen. It may surprise you to know that one of my main tips is one word: simplify. When people start out with big hopes in the kitchen, they often put too much into one recipe. I made that mistake myself early on. But if you start with good ingredients and cook them with intelligence and care, you often don’t have to do too much to make amazing food. Take the recipe for a classic beef bolognese, which I have made for my family. Once upon a time, I used almost twice as many ingredients as you see here. I finely chopped up vegetables, which I sauteed separately before stirring them into the sauce with the bundle of fresh herbs known as a bouquet garni. I added red wine, plus homemade stock, for even more dimensions of flavor, and then I simmered the sauce for hours to reduce it to a thick consistency. Most home cooks today don’t have that kind of time or patience. They want to be able to feed their family dishes that don’t take several hours. So, I’ve simplified my bolognese rec-ipe considerably. This version even includes quick-and-easy ways that my wife, Gelila, also uses when she makes the sauce for our two young sons and me. Let me share a few suggestions here to help you get the best results: 1. Buy coarsely ground beef (or a mixture of beef and pork), which will add a more robust consistency to the sauce. Ask the butcher to grind it for you if it’s not available in the case; this is often referred to as a “chili grind,” because it’s used for making chili con carne. 2. A few sprigs of fresh herbs sim-mered in the sauce toward the end of cooking will add wonderful flavor, as will a splash of cream and touches of red pepper flakes and sugar, which heighten the tomato flavor. 3. The best canned tomatoes, I find, are the San Marzano variety from Italy. They are widely available in well-stocked markets. Serve a sauce like this with more ro-bust pasta shapes - such as penne, big bowties, or shells - that will stand up to its hearty nature, and make sure the

pasta is cooked al dente (tender but still slightly chewy). Then just close your eyes and enjoy how magically, and simply, you feel transported to Italy.

HEARTY BEEF BOLOGNESE Makes about 5 cups (1.25 L),

4 to 6 servings 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 large yellow onion, chopped2 tablespoons chopped garlic 1 pound (500 g) coarsely ground beef Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 to 3 tablespoons tomato paste 3 cups (750 mL) canned whole toma-toes, preferably San Marzano variety1 cup (250 mL) water 2 small sprigs fresh rosemary 2 small sprigs fresh oregano 1/2 cup (125 mL) heavy cream Pinch crushed red pepper flakes 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, optional Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute, stirring frequently, until the onions just begin to turn a deep golden brown color, about 10 minutes. Add the beef and saute for 3 minutes, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until all the moisture given up by the meat has evaporated and the meat has lost all its pink color and starts to cara-melize and turn brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir well to combine it with the meat, sautéing until the tomato paste darkens in color slightly, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes and 1 cup water. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, breaking up the toma-toes with the wooden spoon. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat low, and simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the rosemary and oregano sprigs, and stir in the cream. Season to taste with the red pepper flakes, if you’d like a little spiciness, and more black pepper. To heighten the tomato flavor, stir in the sugar, if desired. Continue simmering, stirring occa-sionally, until the sauce is very thick, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Serve with your pasta of choice, or transfer to covered containers and refrigerate for up to three days before use.
