By Daniel Nee HOLGATE – Are they wetlands, or aren’t they? That is the question that has plagued Holgate since Superstorm Sandy washed sand into an area previously thought to be unbuildable be-cause of its wetlands designation, potentially increasing its value exponentially. The plot of land is located between Beck and Starr avenues in the Holgate section of Long Beach Township. In order for its owners to be able to build there, the state would have to remove its wetlands designation, which bans building on the site. After a public comment period on the matter ended, state officials say they were granted ac-cess to an adjacent property by its owner, and determined that even less area still qualifies as wetlands compared to what officials have originally estimated. This new determination will prompt what is known as a “notice of substantial change” to be published, followed by a new public comment period and hearing

By Daniel Nee STAFFORD – Capt. Thomas Dellane has been named the new police chief for the Township. Mayor John Spodofora said recently that after a months-long search and several in-terviews, they decided to appoint Dellane to the post. He will replace Chief Joseph Giberson, who officially retires May 31. Dellane will take over the following day. “We’re sad to see [Giberson] go, but we’re very thankful to have had him for all the years we had him,” said Spodofora. Officials say the department will be in good hands under the leadership of Dellane, 49, who was one of the township’s most senior officers. Dellane holds an under-graduate degree in criminal justice as well as a law degree, and has also completed the FBI academy. “Under the guidance of Chief Giberson, the department was in very capable hands,” Dellane said.

By Daniel Nee STAFFORD – Township residents will be reaching further into their wallets this year, primarily due to a dispute between the township and state over Stafford’s contribu-tions to the state pension system. According to officials, $1.148 million of the $34.342 million tax levy for 2016 will go toward the pension assessment, which was originally ordered in 2010. The township, and its attorneys, filed an appeal in 2012 and never heard back from the state until this year’s budget process was underway, said Township Administrator James Moran. “We presented all our evidence and we never heard from them again,” said Moran. “We figured after four years, never having heard from them, that we must have in fact proved our case and that was the end of it.” The township, Moran said, will continue to fight the assessment, but taxpayers must pay it in the meantime. “Unfortunately, although we may very well

Pension Assessment Leads To Tax Hikeprevail in our quest, it has to be budgeted and it has to be paid to the state of New Jersey,” said Moran. If Stafford does prevail, the money would be transferred to a surplus account and used

to offset future property tax increases. With the assessment, taxes in Stafford will rise 2.5 cents per $100 of assessed real estate value this year, a hike of $100 for a

Prison Escapee ApprehendedBy Catherine Galioto

OCEAN COUNTY – It was a search that sent helicopters with spotlights into the night sky and locked down local schools. But the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department an-nounced at 11:34 a.m. May 9 that a wanted man who escaped from state prison has been apprehended, after a nearly weeklong search. Arthur Buckel was spotted late May 8 at the Forked River rest stop on the Garden State Parkway in Lacey, in a search authorities said continued into the morning of May 9. A tip from a driver who noticed someone in the

on the matter. The petition before the DEP was submitted by Mark Davies, a local developer, and land owners David Collins, Esther Collins, Kim Lambert and Michelle Forte. Though the former wetland area is small, its designation – or “undesignation,” as they case may be – has generated consid-erable controversy. Naturally, the owners of the properties in question favor the increase in the value of their land, but en-

woods led police to apprehend Buckel with-out incident, said Lacey Police Chief David Paprota. A Lacey detective discovered the suspect near northbound mile marker 76.5 and held him at gun point. Lacey Detective Keith Pearce was as-signed to a fixed surveillance position at the Forked River Rest Area of the Garden State Parkway in the event the escapee, Arthur Buckel, was either hiding in the area or might possibly return to the area, said the police chief. “While Detective Pearce was at the post with K-9 Officer Daniel Rotundo from the New Jersey Department of Corrections, a

passing motorist reported possibly seeing a person in the woods along the northbound lane on the east side of the roadway at MM 76.5 in Lacey Township. Detective Keith Pearce responded immediately to the loca-tion near the rest stop and held the subject at gun point. With the assistance of the New Jersey Department of Corrections Officer, escapee Arthur Buckel was taken into custody without resistance,” said Paprota. The chief commended the multiple-agency efforts after the first tip came in late May 8. “The members of the Lacey Township are very proud of Detective Pearce and all of our personnel involved in the operation since 11 p.m. last night. Our focus was on maintaining strategic positions throughout this event to ensure the safety of our resi-

dents,” said Paprota. Previously, the hunt was centered around Barnegat for Buckel, with store cameras at a CVS showing him walking in to buy gum. Buckel escaped from the Bayside Prison Unit at Ancora Psychiatric Hospital near Hammonton and Winslow Township, some-time on May 3. The 38-year old man was admitted to Bay-side on November 20, 2015, and was serving a three-year prison term for aggravated assault, drug possession and burglary but was less than a month away from being con-sidered for parole at the time of his escape. Earlier that morning, Paprota, in a post on the police department Facebook page, “advised that Arthur Buckel had reportedly indicated a desire to turn himself in and had

been making arrangements through family and the NJSP involving the rest area on the GSP but walked off prior of the arrival of the NJSP personnel.” Further details surrounding his apprehen-sion were not yet available. A weeklong search temporarily had schools on lock down, though police said there was no immediate danger as police went door-to-door in Barnegat as part of the search May 4 and 5. May 9, Central Regional Schools an-nounced there was a restriction on students going outside and teachers from holding class outdoors. Buckel was turned over to state police at the scene and transported to New Jersey State Prison, Trenton.

vironmentalists have argued that reducing the amount of land designated as wetlands is bad for the island, could lead to more flooding, and reduces the amount of local wildlife habitat. “The originally proposed coastal wetlands boundary line on this parcel would have resulted in 0.74 acres of non-mapped coastal wetlands being classified as coastal wet-lands,” the notice states. “As a result of this proposed revision to the coastal wetlands boundary … 0.31 acres less of this property will be mapped as coastal wetlands than originally proposed in April 2015.”

The remapping of the tract would ulti-mately, however, increase the amount of wetlands in the area by 0.43 acres since areas not currently designated as wetlands would be reclassified. An earlier report on the matter stated how the state came to their conclusions based on the definition of a wetland, and how the Holgate site no longer deserves the classification. “The definition of a coastal wetland … specifically references areas whose surface is at or below an elevation of one foot above local extreme high water,” a document from

the DEP states. “Based on the results of the Department’s overall investigation of the petitioners’ property, approximately 1.15 acres of mapped coastal wetlands which abut South Bay Avenue are no longer at or below an elevation of one foot above local extreme high water and, as a result, are no longer growing, or are capable of growing, the vegetative species” required under state laws for wetlands classification. The new public hearing on the plan will take place May 18 at 10 a.m. in the Long Beach Township municipal building on Long Beach Boulevard.

When he takes over the role as chief, Dellane said he will set a goal to increase community policing and have the depart-ment accredited by the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, which instills best practices and lowers the cost of township insurance coverage. “My immediate goal is to continue moving the department forward while increasing our presence in the community,” he said. “We have a great group of extremely dedicated officers who take great pride in serving our residents and visitors to Stafford Township, and I would like to continue moving the agency forward in that direction.” Dellane has worked for the department for 28 years, starting as a patrolman and moving up through the ranks.

In other news from Stafford Township, the governing body has approved the ac-quisition of five lots at the end of a Beach Haven West street. The lots, which border a lagoon at the end of Patrick Drive, are unbuildable and have been donated to the township, Spodofora said. “There is no cost to the township, and we are receiving this property as open space,” the mayor said. Considered a wetlands area, the lots will largely be preserved as-is, however resi-dents have recently requested the township act to prevent some of the deterioration of the area, which has sped up since Sandy. Spodofora said the township will look into the possibility of installing rip-rap, a rockpile that acts as a breakwater, to the end of the piece of land. “I know we can’t bulkhead it because DEP would never allow it,” Spodofora said.

average homeowner. Even with the increase, Spodofora said officials have kept tax increases to a mini-mum over the last several years. “From 2013 to today, it is only 1.1 cents higher,” he said. Overall, the township budget this year is $44,124,146, up from $43,197,232 in 2015. The $34,342,197 tax levy is up from $32,718,425 last year.

OFFICE CLOSED: Saturday and Sunday

If you look at the Middle East, the countries there were poor desert countries. Local fighting had gone on between the different tribes since the beginning of time. Central governments had very little power. Fighting among all became a way of life. Then came “oil” and every-thing changed. The West-ern powers and Germany were after the oil at any cost. Then the U.S. joined in the battle for oil. Overnight the poor desert countries became multi-billionaires. They had the oil but didn’t know how to get it out of the ground, so they needed the help of Europe and the U.S. The Middle East reached wealth beyond their wildest dreams. In the midst of this, the local tribes kept on fighting with each other. The U.S. and Eu-rope pumped machines and manpower with knowledge into the area. Everybody was happy, for all were making money. Now, at present, the entire Middle East is a war keg ready to blow. To make things worse, the U.S. with Presi-dent Obama has wrecked the area. The U.S. made a deal with Iran to bring a phony peace at any cost. We stepped on everyone’s toes and forgot who our friends were. We are no longer trusted by all. This deal was supposed to bring peace with Iran; we gave away the candy store with no guarantees. Iran will get our money and our trust that they will stop their atomic program; in return,

Although the FairTax - H.R.25/ S.155 in congress - is a national consump-tion tax on new goods and services and government spending, and will elim-inate all federal taxes on income and investment, it also features a “rebate in advance” (prebate) based on family size. Having the highest cor-porate income tax rate has resulted in Americans losing jobs as U.S. com-panies have relocated to tax-fr iendlier countr ies (inversions), because the corporate income tax is a “reverse tariff” on our businesses. The FairTax ends the triple taxation of American multinational firms, i.e., profits being taxed – (1) abroad, (2) when dollars come home, and (3) when corporations pay dividends. Trade with foreign coun-tries will boom under the FairTax as American made products leave our shores without embedded corpo-rate income and payroll taxes, thusly, allowing U.S. goods to compete equal-ly with foreign products. American companies will return home as will the jobs lost; and foreign companies will see the U.S. as a tax haven, and build their next job-creating plant here. With an estimated 10 percent embedded taxes removed by the FairTax, the prices of American made products will rise about 17 percent, whereas the cost of foreign goods sold here will rise about 30 percent. “Made in America” will ap-pear on many more labels. The rise in prices will have no effect on our “pur-chasing power” as there will be no deductions of federal income and payroll taxes from our paychecks and pensions and social security benefits will be indexed due to inf lated prices. All families will receive the prebate, which untaxes citizen families on their spending up to

The Puzzle In The Middle East

the U.S. got nothing. We sold out Israel, our friends to the Middle East. Now we have the Saudis, who are supposed to be our closest friends in the area, who knew the deal the U.S. signed is phony, and they are going their own way. We have Iran and the Saudis preparing for war. Iran has a new friend, Russia, who is looking to expand in the area. Both the Saudis and Iran are looking to take over Yemen, which is now fighting a civil war; Syria, that has become a puppet of both Iran and Russia; Iraq, which we made a mess of and now is looking toward Russia for help; Turkey, which wants to bring down the government of Syria; Jordan, which is not sure which way to turn and Afghanistan at war with itself. It doesn’t seem possi-ble, but the U.S. has lost the trust of Israel. In other words, we have made a total mess of the Middle East in the past seven years. President Obama will soon leave office and brought the Middle East to the brink of war. Is this possible that this has happened, brought about by one man? You no longer can tell the good guys from the bad. The President thinks he has saved the Mid-dle East. He has no idea that he has helped to sink the ship and no one trust the U.S. Then to bring everything to a head, the Saudis execute 47 Iranians, including one cleric. What has the U.S. done in the area and what will come next?Herb Greenberg, Jr.Brick

the poverty level, while millennials and low and middle income earners can purchase FairTax-free used automobiles, buy homes on resale, save more, or invest their additional cash. The FairTax will tax gov-ernments on all levels for their purchases of new items and the salaries/wages of their employees so that pri-vate companies can com-pete with governmental agencies on a “level playing field” in areas such as gar-bage collection and utilities – i.e. ,water, gas, electric. Otherwise, a town council could float a bond or impose a tax to fund a purchase or project, whereas, a private enterprise would unfairly bear the cost of raising equal revenues to provide a similar service for the town. Government enterprises such as the Postal Service and Amtrak will not pay the FairTax on their purchases or employee salaries since customers will pay the sales tax when they mail a pack-age or buy a train ticket. By seeing the cost of the federal government on every retail sales receipt, citizens can hold elected officials accountable for the priorities that they choose. For example, to fight crime, terrorism, illegal drugs, and illegal immigration, the IRS employs approximately three times as many people as the FBI, the Drug En-forcement Agency, and the Border Patrol. The FairTax will eliminate the IRS as we know it. It’s time to end the notion that our paychecks, pen-sions, and social security benefits belong first to the federal government and then, af ter income and payroll taxes are withheld, to us. Our sons and daugh-ters and our grandchildren should inherit our total es-tates. The FairTax will end these taxes along with the capital gains, alternative minimum, and gift taxes.

MacArthur Reveals FEMA Whistleblowers

OCEAN COUNTY – Spring’s beautiful dry weath-er may be a welcome relief after a long cold and wet winter, but there’s a grow-ing danger in the county’s woodlands. The Ocean County Sheriff’s Department has forwarded to the public a fire warn-ing issued by the National Weather Service and asked

Fire Danger Remains Highresidents to be extra cautious outdoors. “Please do not use the land as an ashtray,” said Freehold-er Director John P. Kelly, who is also the county’s director of Law and Public Safety. “Be cautious while smoking and do not throw cigarette butts out of car windows.” Kelly said a little “extra

vigilance” can prevent forest and brush fires. Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, liaison to the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs, said many new cars no longer come equipped with ashtrays, so smokers are more likely to toss butts out of the window. “If you must smoke, please buy an ashtray or special con-

tainer for your car,” he said. “Even a single cigarette can cause a devastating fire and put both residents and emer-gency responders at risk.” If a fire does ignite, a recent county improvement project will make it easier for fire-fighters to battle the blaze. The new crosswinds run-way at the Robert J. Miller Airpark in Berkeley Town-

ship has allowed the state Forest Fire Service to once again station aircraft at the airport. Prior to the runway’s com-pletion in 2014, the Forest Fire Service had relocated its aircraft because of safety concerns of using only a sin-gle runway, despite weather and wind conditions. The new second runway

allows takeoffs and landings no matter which direction the wind is blowing. Vicari credited Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr. for lead-ing the successful fight for the second runway. “We made these improve-ments for the safety of not only Ocean County but for all of Southern New Jersey,” Vicari said.

CongressmanTom MacArthur

From The Desk Of Congressman Tom MacArthur:

told viewers that thousands of Superstorm Sandy victims had been wrongfully denied insurance claims due to cor-rupt and fraudulent practices. Following the release of this interview, Congressman MacArthur called on FEMA Administrator W. Craig Fu-gate to resign and for the federal government to launch a formal investigation into these allegations. The report of that investigation was recently released and con-cluded that FEMA lacked the internal controls necessary to manage and mitigate NFIP’s

funds, placing them at risk for fraud, waste, abuse or mismanagement. Following the release of this report, additional documents and signed affidavits from for-mer FEMA employees have been brought to light, with one such affidavit stating the reason for leaving FEMA was the “elaborate process designed to justify minimal payments to policyholders irrespective of the actual merits of their claims.” “Today my office has un-veiled FEMA whistleblow-ers that were directly in-

volved with flood insurance claims following the devas-tation of Hurricane Sandy. Their brave move to come forward exposes a systemic effort by FEMA to wrong-fully deny the claims of San-dy victims. This provides our office the catalyst needed to demand a thorough and independent investigation into this matter. FEMA has failed to provide the appro-priate oversight and controls necessary to assist the most vulnerable victims. My con-stituents have been wronged, and they deserve justice. The

federal government cannot and should not be immune

to the consequences of their actions.”

OCEAN COUNTY – With the start of the busy summer travel and prom season looming, Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato announced the continuation of the annual countywide DWI check-point program. The program consists of staging numerous check-points throughout Ocean County. The program’s de-sign creates a force multi-plier by regionalizing and supplementing local DWI enforcement. The program will also conduct DWI en-forcement patrols through-out the county. In making his announcement, Prosecu-tor Coronato reminded driv-ers that an extra measure of caution and not operating under the inf luence can prevent tragedy.

Prosecutor Coronato stat-ed, “The tremendous added volume of summer shore traffic and all our area High Schools hosting Senior Proms calls for increased vigilance by law enforce-ment, and that will be the fo-cus over the coming months to keep motorists safe. We ask that drivers do their part by driving responsibly and making smart choices behind the wheel every day of the year.” While inattentive and ag-gressive drivers are always targets of law enforcements’ regular patrols, the purpose of these efforts is to de-tect, educate, deter, arrest and vigorously prosecute impaired drivers. The pro-gram targets those under the influence of alcohol, but in response to Ocean County’s

drug crisis, also utilizes an addition of two Drug Recog-nition Experts at each check point to detect those under the influence of narcotics. The county also oversees a county wide call out system for DRE’s to respond and assist agencies in conduct-ing evaluations of subjects suspected to be operating a motor vehicle under the influence of narcotics. Each year impaired drivers are responsible for about a third of the deaths oc-curring on Ocean County roadways. Last year, Ocean County had 38 fatalities on its roadways. Though the county has moved from sec-ond highest in the state for fatalities from a year ago, to now ranking fifth out of the 21 counties, there is no cause for celebration. Even

one fatality is too many. The checkpoint program, which is funded in part by the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety,

will be conducted by local police agencies in conjunc-tion with detectives from the Prosecutor’s Office and Sheriff’s Department K-9 Unit focusing on both in-toxicated and drug impaired

DWI Checkpoint Program Continuesdrivers. The program is coordinated by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Vehic-ular Homicide Unit under the direction of Supervising Assistant Prosecutor Mi-chael Weatherstone.

BARNEGAT – A new program, funded through a grant from the Barnegat Bay Part-nership, has been developed by Nature Pho-tographer and Author Bob Birdsall and Field Ecologist Terry O’Leary. Entitled “Streaming the Creeks and Rivers in the Barnegat Bay Watershed,” this program features stunning images as well as natural and cultural infor-mation for the 20 main streams that flow into the Barnegat Bay. Following the streams from their headwaters in the Pine Barrens to their mouth at the bay, Birdsall, O’Leary and a team of volunteers captured fascinating photographs and recorded the GPS locations of 175 waypoints along the streams. Experience a virtual trip down the streams to the bay with Birdsall and O’Leary at two free presentations offered this May. They will

DETACHED FROM REALITY

P.S. Retinal detachment symptoms include flashing lights; giant cell arteritis can cause fever and vision loss; central retinal artery occlusion causes painless, sudden vision loss; and acute angle-closure glaucoma causes severe pain and blurry vision.

www.oceancountyeye.com

While serious problems such as retinal detachment (separation of the retina from its connection at the back of the eye) can occur suddenly and require immediate care, most people are unaware of its symptoms. As a result, they may not get the treatment needed to stave off permanent vision impairment and even blindness. When researchers surveyed a relatively small sample of patients to test their knowledge about eye diseases, they found that very few were aware of the symptoms or treatment of retinal detachment, acute angle-closure glaucoma, giant cell arteritis, or central retinal artery occlusion. These four diseases can cause permanent vision loss if not treated quickly and appropriately. The diseases have the potential to alter lives. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., our philosophy is to provide cost-efficient eye care to all of our patients in a compassionate and friendly manner. We offer treatment in all areas of eye care, such as retinal detachment. We pride ourselves on our specialty training and keeping up to date on the changes in medical care.

LITTLE EGG HARBOR – Proclamations, party hats, birthday cake, music and magic were all part of the 20th anniversary cele-bration of the Little Egg Harbor branch of the Ocean County Library held on April 27. The anniversary began with NJ Ninth District Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf pre-senting a proclamation honoring the branch, located at 290 Mathistown Road, to Ocean County Library Director Susan Quinn and Branch Manager Kelly-Ann Pennel. “This library is a vital part of the com-munity. I come here very often myself,” Rumpf said. Ocean County Freeholder Joseph Vicari, who serves as liaison to the library for the Board of Freeholders, also presented a proc-lamation to Quinn and Pennel, on behalf of Ocean County. “We congratulate the Little Egg Harbor branch for 20 wonderful years of service to the community,” Vicari said. “It was a very special day for the Little Egg Harbor branch, and the staff was hon-ored to share it with our community. The day’s events highlighted the support of our Friends of the Library, who sponsored both the afternoon and evening music concerts and the refreshments, and the support of the community we serve,” Pennel said. “As we were celebrating all the lives we’ve touched over the past 20 years, we were continuing to touch and enrich the lives of

our community members,” Pennel added. No birthday party is complete without a cake and the staff of the branch served up slices of chocolate and vanilla cake following a concert by the Doo Wop oldies band, RB Express. The refreshments were sponsored by the Friends of the Little Egg Harbor Library who also sponsored the concert by RB Express and an evening concert by BJ and The Band. Children and their parents enjoyed a “Meet and Greet with Sparks” as part of the day’s fun. Sparks is the colorful dragon mascot of the Ocean County Library, who promotes reading throughout the 21 locations of the library system. Magician Chad Juros performed a family program that involved magic, music, jug-gling and comedy. Pennel said she was touched by a note she received after the celebration by one of the branch’s patrons. The patron wrote that “I want to thank you all for being a part of our community and caring about all the people in it. I so enjoyed Wednesday’s BJ and the Band concert. It was such fun to watch all the participants dance and clap and sing along. I came in the door at age 78 and left with the spring in my step of a 16-year-old. Thank you for bringing all the joy.” For information about future events at the Little Egg Harbor branch, call 609-294-1197 or visit theoceancountylibrary.org.

TUCKERTON – Work recently began at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge to repair the refuge’s freshwater impoundment system along Wildlife Drive following damage by 2012’s Hurricane Sandy. This project will help make the refuge more resilient to future storms and sea-level rise by adding a living shoreline and other stabilization features along Wildlife Drive, the most visited area of the refuge. Throughout construction there will be temporary, partial or complete closures of Wildlife Drive and adjoining trails. Currently the Drive and Songbird Trail are closed on weekdays until 4:30 p.m. and open normal hours on weekends. When open, the Drive will allow two-way traffic until the Turtle Cove observation tower. The refuge will post additional closure up-dates to its website and Facebook page as soon as they are known. Visitors can find out the most current information by calling the refuge’s visitor center at 609-652-1665.

Repairs Underway At Edwin B. Forsythe

Work is expected to last through August. “We recognize that this is an inconve-nience to visitors, but it’s a short-term sacri-fice for long-term gain,” said Marc Virgilio, wildlife biologist at the refuge. “This project will make our refuge more resilient to future storms like Hurricane Sandy.” Specific work on the Wildlife Drive Im-poundment System includes: Strengthening the Turtle Cove section of South Dike and the Dogleg section of North Dike with additional riprap (rock) armoring to protect against erosion. Both of these areas were significantly damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Creating a “living shoreline” that will help buffer against wave energy and pro-vide additional food resources and roost sites for thousands of waterbirds. The living shoreline will be built by covering the foundation of riprap with soil and planting it with native saltmarsh and up-land vegetation. Resurfacing six miles of the Wildlife Drive Impoundment Dike with crushed concrete to limit rainfall erosion and pro-vide better driving for visitors. It has been over three years since Hurri-cane Sandy made landfall in New Jersey, but its effects are still felt here at the refuge and across New Jersey. Hurricane Sandy significantly impacted the Wildlife Drive system, flooding the road and inundating the freshwater impoundments with salt water. This required emergency repairs to maintain its integrity and re-open the drive to visitors as quickly as possible. Since then, the staff has been hard at work planning and implementing projects to re-store the refuge and make it more resilient to future storms. The Wildlife Drive Impoundment System was constructed in the early 1950s to meet the habitat needs of migratory birds (e.g., waterfowl, shorebirds, and wading birds). The approximately 1,500 acre system consists primarily of Lily Lake, Doughty Creek, Northwest Pool, Southwest Pool and East Pool. The exterior impoundment dike, Wildlife Drive, receives over 100,000 visitors annually. The work at Edwin B. Forsythe NWR is funded by $30 million through the Hurri-cane Sandy Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013.

What Should You Expect From Hearing Aids?

If your hearing loss has progressed to the degree that you need hearing aids, a critical factor in their success is your understanding and acceptance of realistic expectations of their capabilities. Hearing instruments, regardless of brand or type of technology, can never replace normal hearing in all listening situations. Expecting results that cannot be achieved will only lead to frustration and dissatis-faction. If you know what to expect, you’ll be free to enjoy the improvements that hearing aids can make in your life. Here are some guidelines that should help you formulate a realistic set of ex-pectations. With properly fitted hearing aids, you should be able to hear many normal sounds that you may not otherwise be able to hear clearly, such as the voice of your client or the words of a loved one. You may also begin to hear sounds you have forgotten were part of your world, such as the hum of a motor on your refrigerator or the buzz of your florescent lights. In quiet circumstances, many hearing aid users can achieve a performance level

equal to normal hearing. But as the diffi-culty of the listening task increases, the gap between a person with normal hearing and a person with hearing loss widens. Hearing aids will not restore your hear-ing to normal. Science has not been able to match the human hearing mechanism. You’ll need time to get used to your new hearing aids to learn how to achieve max-imum performance from them. Patience and persistence is the key to successful hearing aid use. Hearing aids will not filter out back-ground noise, despite some advertising claims. Some hearing aids have circuitry that will avoid boosting the volume of some types of background noise, but this can also remove some of the speech you want to hear. This is usually a benefit, however, providing a more comfortable listening experience and better sound quality in some types of noisy situations. Hearing aids should allow you to under-stand speech more clearly, with less effort, in a variety of listening situations. Hearing aids should keep others from noticing your hearing loss.

8 Reasons To Avoid Stearate In Your Supplements

Some of you watch your gluten intake, while others avoid artificial colors and sweeteners. Some of you read supplement labels, and others don’t. Today, I want to tell you about “magnesium stearate.” Magnesium stearate or “Mag stearate” for short is a chemical used by most nutritional supplement companies, and it’s an additive. It acts like a lube to run machines faster, so as to increase production and therefore profits. This substance consists of magne-sium and stearate, which is a saturated fat. Think of it like bubble wrap around the ingredients of your supplement. It doesn’t function as a vitamin or mineral, and more importantly, it doesn’t give you “magnesium” like the name implies. Your body requires biochemical ‘work’ to pop the ‘bubble wrap’ and split the molecule apart into its backbone of magnesium and stearic acid. Once split, you get a negli-gible amount of magnesium, perhaps a couple of milligrams. So mag stearate is not a source of magnesium for your body, don’t be fooled by the name. Therapeutic doses of magnesium fall into the 200 - 800 mg range. If you read the labels of your supplements and see magnesium stearate, you should know: 1. It’s not a source of magnesium for your body, don’t be fooled by the name. 2. It’s a mechanical lubricant intended to grease machines for faster production. 3. It has no nutritional value. 4. It’s an additive. 5. It’s sometimes sourced from Genetically

Engineered hydrogenated oils. 6. It may affect the release time of active ingredients and slow it down. 7. It may reduce bioavailability of active in-gredients, certainly makes it unpredictable. 8. It’s sort of like “grease,” it affects the digestive tract in sensitive folks. The sales people at the local store are often very intelligent, but they don’t always agree with me about mag stearate. Remember, it’s in almost every supplement made, and concealed with aliases like “stearic acid” or “vegetable stearate” and others. Most sales clerks will tell you it’s present in the supplement to give you “magnesium,” but as you’ve learned, this is not true. The one and only purpose for its use is to aid in the manufacturing process. This is not a toxic ingredient as far as I’m concerned, I’m just saying that it’s not good for you as it does not add any nutritional value and it may hinder absorption of the ingredients. No one can agree on this. In 2011, a World Health Organization report found cross-contaminants such as bisphenol A (BPA) and Irganox 1010, which is used in plastics, in a few batches of mag stearate. Even though this happened once, and never again, you deserve to know. I certainly don’t mean to alarm you or have you throw out every single supplement in your cupboard, but there’s nothing wrong with upgrading your formulas one by one. High quality supplement makers run their machines slower so they don’t need this lubricant. In the supplement world, you get what you pay for.

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

Don’t You Know We Got That Money In The Bank

Dear Joel My husband won’t allow for me to make bank deposits using my smart phone. He says it isn’t safe. He is very phobic about passwords, stealing of identities, etc. Is it safe to deposit checks with a smart phone?Answer Although I am not a techie, I have many friends who are (lucky for me). I called them about your question. Most couldn’t answer it, claiming that is very specific technology. What I got out of this assign-ment is that using a smart phone as a bank teller is indeed safe. The problem is that it sometimes takes a few shots before it is accepted. I’m told that placing the check on a dark background will help. Most banks have

dollar limits per week or per month. That is done for the bank’s safety. Write “cell deposit” across the check after the check has been accepted, so that it can’t be re-deposited. What I suggest for you is letting your husband do the banking the way he wants to. People like him usually can’t be re-assured enough to change. Don’t sweat the small stuff, and although this may be annoying, it is small stuff.

LAKEWOOD – The BlueClaws will hold its 16th annual ALS Celebrity Waiter Event on May 25 from 6 to 8 p.m. The event will be held for the second time at Tuscan House in Toms River, and all proceeds from the event will benefit the ALS Association of Greater Philadelphia, the principal charity of the Phillies. The ALS Celebrity Waiter Event features all BlueClaws players serving as the waiters and BlueClaws coaches serving as the bartend-ers. The players will pose for pictures and sign autographs throughout the night while helping to raise money for a great cause. Twenty percent of all bills and 100 percent of all tips will be donated directly to the ALS Association of Greater Philadelphia. This event has raised over $150,000 for the ALS Association in its first 15 years of existence. “We’re excited to bring this event back to

Tuscan House this year after a great debut in 2015,” said Jim DeAngelis, BlueClaws vice president of Community Relations and executive director of BlueClaws Charities. “This has been our top community outreach event since its inception in 2001 and we’re looking forward to a great event again in 2016.” Reservations can be made by directly call-ing Tuscan House at 732-797-2570. There will also be a 50/50 and a silent auction, with merchandise from both the BlueClaws and Phillies available, again with all proceeds going directly to the ALS Association of Greater Philadelphia. BlueClaws Charities is the official non-prof-it organization of the Lakewood BlueClaws and supports over 40 Community Partner organizations and hundreds of non-profit or-ganizations and fundraising events each year.

The most labor intensive part of your quest to close on your new home will be providing your banker or lender with all of the financial records and information they require. Equally, during a refinance of your existing home, many of the same financial records will be required. In either of these situations, the process is started by the application process, and moves through the underwriting process until the loan is clear to close. During this time period, which may span from 30 days to several months depending on the complexity of the loan program, there are several things to remember as to not hinder a smooth closing. First, as an applicant, you never want to open new credit cards, switch credit card balances to new credit cards or make large purchases on existing credit cards. Remember: although you may transfer a balance, it takes several weeks for that old line of credit to show on your credit as closed out. Also, even the smallest of purchases on a new card may open up a much larger available line of credit. All of these actions can disrupt your income-to-debt ratio which can be a major obstacle in getting to that clear to close position. This helpful hint applies to both new home purchasers and exist-ing home owners looking to refinance. Second, in a situation where you may be refinancing your existing home, make sure all home improvements that may be ongoing are complete prior to appraisal. One of the steps of any loan is to have a formal appraisal completed. That appraisal can only take into con-

sideration working bathrooms, kitchens, etc. So, if your home is having the sec-ond bathroom renovated, the appraiser may be required to come back for a follow-up appraisal when that work is completed. Avoid this delay and make sure you properly plan the timing of your refinancing and home improvement projects, especially if your refinance is going to provide the extra money to accomplish those home improvement projects. Third, it is important to make sure you are prepared for closing and have enough money saved up to bring to the closing table. Many times a lender or bank will advise that their loan covers closing costs, however, this may mean that only the bank costs are covered. In just about all loans there are third-party costs such as payments to insurance companies, surveyors, title companies, home owner associations, tax office, municipal util-ities and many more. It is important to communicate with your banker or lender and review your mortgage documents that outline closing costs that you will be responsible for. The above items may be overwhelming, and we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Coun-sellors at Law, is a full-service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of estate planning, estate litigation, personal injury, general litigation, real estate law, Medicaid law, medical mal-practice, workers’ compensation, land use and planning law, wills, trusts, and powers of attorney and much more.

ANATOMY AND FUNCTION OF A BURSABursae are fluid filled sacs that aid in joint motion. There

are over 150 bursae in the human body. Bursae are filled with synovial fluid (a lubricant) and they secrete this fluid to counter joint friction with movement. It functions to provide a cushion between bones and muscles and their tendons, allowing pain free movement. Without a bursa, the tendons would grind over the bones with each movement. When bursitis occurs, it is the inflammation of the bursa sac causing irritation and making movements painful and difficult. Bursitis occurs most often later in life, majority of individuals being over 40 years of age. You can see signs of bursitis if the affected joint feels achy or stiff, if it hurts more when you press on it or move it or looks swollen or red.

HOW BURSITIS IS DIAGNOSEDBursitis is often diagnosed through ruling out other

pathologies and gathering a detailed medical history and physical exam. Imaging can be useful to diagnose bursitis; while X-RAY can rule out other pathologies, it cannot positively establish presence of bursitis. Ultrasound or MRI can be used to confirm the diagnosis.

COMMON CAUSESBursitis can occur for a number of different reasons.

Repetitive motions, muscle weakness, poor coordination, improper posture, direct trauma, surgery, calcium deposits, infection or autoimmune disorders can all directly cause bursitis and result in pain and irritation with joint movement.

TYPES OF BURSITIS Subacromial, prepatellar, trochanteric, olecranon and

pes anserine are all common areas where bursitis can occur. Subacromial bursitis presents with pain around the

shoulder usually caused by repetitive throwing or overhead reaching. This is the most common of all the types. Prepatellar and pes anserine bursitis affect the knee joint and can be irritated with kneeling or stairs. Trochanteric affects the hip joint and can be caused by sudden increased amount of walking or jogging. This type may cause pain with lying on the affected side. Olecranon bursitis affects the elbow, also known as student elbow and can often result in swelling.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Conservative treatment is usually used first for the treatment of bursitis. This involves rest, ice and taking a pain reliever or anti-inflammatory medicines. If the bursitis is caused by injection, a prescribed antibiotic by a physician can be used. A corticosteroid injection can be used to decrease inflammation. Surgery may also be done to drain the bursa or remove it all together, which is a more rare option. Physical therapy is a highly affective and a less invasive option.

PHYSICAL THERAPY AND BURSITIS

Physical therapist are educated and trained to help treat all types of bursitis. During the physical therapy evaluation, your therapist will take measurements to see what musculoskeletal deficits are present and design a personalized exercise program. The program will be targeted to your specific needs and will aim to improve several areas.

Increase Strength. Bursitis if often the result of weak musculature. Weak muscles can lead to injuries or coordination problems. By building up strength in the muscles, joints will move more efficiently and with improved mechanics, leading to decreased rubbing on the bursa and decreased irritation. Along with strength, power and endurance should be addressed since bursitis is often linked to overuse. Exercises may include free weights, therabands or weight bearing activities.

Improve Range of Motion. Physical therapy will help restore normal motion in the affected joint. Overtime from bursitis, joint motion may decrease due to pain or soft tissue changes. Your physical therapist may address this with passive range of motion exercises and then progress to active and stretching. Since any pressure on an inflamed bursa can increase pain, it is imperative to stretch any soft tissue structures that are tight or shortened to decrease pain.

Post-Surgical Care. Although surgery is not a common intervention used for bursitis, if it is performed then physical therapy can aid in your recovery. Your

physical therapist will create a personalized program to help you regain strength and range of motion in the most pain free and time efficient manner possible.

Reduce Pain and Swelling. Modalities can be used to address the swelling in the joint. Therapeutic agents such as icing and electrical stimulation can be good way to modulate pain and decrease swelling. This in turn will allow for the underlying pathologies to be treated. Relative rest can also alleviate pain. Your therapist can instruct you in activity modification and altering movement patterns to decrease the stress placed on the joint.

Reoccurrence Prevention. Once your bursitis is treated, your physical therapist will have provided you with a home exercise program. Bursitis can be a re-occurring ailment and your home program will help prevent this. By keeping up with the exercises, you will maintain your strength and flexibility. By making simple modifications you can reduce your risk for bursitis and decrease severity of flare ups. Your physical therapist will instruct you in proper lifting techniques, maintaining proper posture and educate you in the importance of stretching and warming up prior to strenuous exercise.

At each one of All-Care Physical Therapy Center locations, our staff is knowledgeable and qualified to help you with bursitis. We will create an individualized exercise program to cater to your specific needs. Call for an appointment today!

For the pancakes:2 1/4 cups (560 mL) whole-grain pastry flour or whole-grain cake flour1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 cup granulated sugar Pinch kosher salt 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Pinch freshly grated nutmeg 2 large cage-free eggs1/4 cup (60 mL) sour cream 1 cup (250 mL) buttermilk 3/4 to 1 cup (185 to 250 mL) whole milk 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted1 1/2 cups (375 mL) fresh blueberries Confectioners’ sugar, to serve For the compote:1 1/2 cups (375 mL) pure maple syrup 3 cups fresh blueberries In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour. Add the baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Add the ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir with a wire whisk until

thoroughly blended. In another mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until thor-oughly blended. Add the sour cream, buttermilk and just over 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the milk; whisk until blended. Whisk in 4 tablespoons of the melted butter. Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Thin the batter, if necessary, by stirring in enough extra milk for a thick, creamy consistency. Heat an electric nonstick griddle to 325 F (160 C) or heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drizzle a little of the remaining melted butter onto the griddle or skillet. Transfer the batter to a large glass measuring cup. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, form pancakes by pouring from the cup onto the griddle or skillet, using about 1 cup (250 mL) for extra-large pancakes or 1/3 to 1/2 cup (85 to 125 mL) for smaller ones. Sprinkle blueberries evenly over the pancakes. Cook until bubbles appear and pop on the surface and the undersides are deep brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with a little butter and flip the pancakes with a spat-ula, then cook until browned, another 2 to 3 minutes. As soon as you start cooking the pancakes, make the compote. Combine the syrup and blueberries in a saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries are heated through and begin to color the syrup, 5 to 7 minutes. Keep warm. Arrange pancakes overlapping on individual plates. Spoon the compote over and around them. If desired, sift confectioners’ sugar over the pancakes. Serve immediately.
