By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – A bike ride to Wash-ington D.C. from New Jersey, focusing on police officers who have died in the line of duty, included participants from many towns in Ocean County and honored those locally as well. The primary purpose of the Police Unity Tour is to raise awareness of law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. The secondary purpose is to raise funds for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and Museum. The ride will con-clude in Washington D.C. at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial where

Washington D.C.

By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – The star power of Jon Bon Jovi and the people-power of volunteer efforts came together again to help with hunger and food insecurity issues of local residents. The ribbon-cutting on the BEAT Center, in Silverton, hopes to address those problems with services such as a food bank, charitable restaurant and social services in one place. Bon Jovi, who opened his f irst Soul Kitchen restaurant concept in Red Bank, spoke at the grand opening of BEAT, which stands for Bringing Ev-eryone All Together.

food, job training and resources to help end the cyclical causes of hunger in Ocean County. His charity, Soul Kitchen, served its 50,000th meal this year at its Red Bank restaurant, where patrons can pay $10 for a meal or give volunteer hours in-stead. Bon Jovi said that with the size of the Silverton location being a larger physical space than it s Monmouth County counterpart, Soul Kitchen Toms River would be on track to create an even bigger impact in Ocean County. The BEAT Center will house the restau-rant, staffed by volunteers and those working in job training in the hospitality industry, but also welcomes those who cannot afford a meal to instead contrib-ute volunteer hours. “Our mission has always been to effect positive change with the issues of hun-ger and homelessness,” Bon Jovi said. “We’ve received many thanks along the way, but it is us, who must give thanks to you, our neighbors who have helped us to identify how to best create a place that not only provides a healthy meal, but creates a community.” That mission of community, and part-nered resources, is the main component of the BEAT Center, organizers said. In addition to the second Soul Kitchen restaurant, the BEAT Center also houses The People’s Pantry and an Ocean Coun-ty office of the FoodBank of Monmouth

and Ocean Counties. One of the orga-nizers and donor, Philanthropist David Tepper, said the BEAT Center will also help clients with related services, such as social programs, tax preparation and other advice. The People’s Pantry opened in the hours following Superstorm Sandy to address emergency needs for food and offers an experience where clients can take carts around the pantry to pick out food. Though it’s moved around in several locations around Toms River, organiz-ers said the last move is into the BEAT Center, as a more permanent place. Pat Donaghue, executive director of the People’s Pantry, said her organi-zation helps about 100 families a day. “These are my neighbors, they are your neighbors,” Donaghue said. “They are blue-collar, they are home owners, they are hard-working, contributing members of society…That’s the point I want to make. They might not be the people you think would end up needing a food pantry. They are you and me.” Donaghue said that though Sandy is nearly four years behind the community, the financial impact remains, here and nationwide. She quoted recent studies and polls that showed it only takes a $200 shortfall to start a family rolling toward great financial pressure, as evi-denced in the widespread foreclosures in Ocean County. Helping those families is a main component of the BEAT Center, she said. Congressman Tom MacArthur donated to

the FoodBank and dined at the Red Bank Soul Kitch-en before stepping into public office, but in his role as an elected off i-cial, learned more about the need that operations such as the BEAT Center would provide. “ W h at I wa s st ruck by is the word ‘d ig n i t y.’ When you fall on hard times, it can be hard for people to ask. But sitting there at the Soul Kitchen, you have no idea if the per-son sit t ing next to you or serving you is someone in need, and there is a dignity in that. It’s a beautiful place, the meals are well done, and there is a dignity in that and that’s what we have to do,” MacArthur said. “We have to meet a need, we have to do it effectively, and we have to do it with dignity.” Carlos M. Rodriguez, executive direc-tor of the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, said the BEAT Center will be the Ocean County hub of their operations, which has a main office and distribution site in Neptune. David Of-fenberg, chairman of the food bank, said

–Photo by Catherine GaliotoJon Bon Jovi describes the mission of the BEAT center.

Ocean County has overtaken Monmouth County slightly, now having more of a demand for services than Monmouth. Rodriguez said that before the economic downturn in 2008, the foodbank was dis-tributing about 1 million pounds of food, but the recession and then devastation from Superstorm Sandy hit the area, that number has grown to 4 million pounds. He said that with the BEAT Center, the support system is in place to “not just feed the long lines, but to shorten them.” For more information, visit thebeatcenter.org.

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.

Positive Effect Of FairTax Our mothers, daughters,

sisters and friends are at risk. Heart disease and stroke cause one in three deaths among women each year—more than all cancers combined. Fortunately, we can change that because 80 percent of cardiac and stroke events may be prevented with education and action. As survivors of heart disease and stroke, we want women across the state to be more aware of their heart health. That’s why we’re uniting on May 20 at the 14th Annual American Heart Association Garden State Go Red For Women Luncheon. This day will raise critical funds and awareness for the nation’s top killers. The American Heart Asso-ciation Go Red For Women movement, nationally spon-sored by Macy’s, inspires

Go Red For Womenwomen to make lifestyle changes, mobilize communi-ties and shape policies to save lives. United, we are working to improve the health of all women. In the past decade, more than 670,000 women’s lives have been saved and car-diovascular disease death in women has decreased by more than 30 percent. We Go Red to help create a culture of health for women and their families. Why? Life is why.Let’s unite to prevent heart disease and stroke. It’s time to put our hearts into it and Go Red For Women.

MacArthur Receives Legislative Leader AwardHumane Society for ded-ication to animal welfare legislation and advocacy. Congressman MacArthur recently joined a bipartisan group of colleagues to sup-port animal welfare through certain provisions that would protect pets and their owners during natural disasters like Superstorm Sandy, provide additional support for an-imal fighting enforcement and offer increased protec-tion for farm animals used

in agricultural research. Additionally, Congressman MacArthur has cosponsored the “Humane Cosmetics Act,” to phase out cosmetic animal testing and the sale of cosmetics tested on animals. “Debbie and I are active supporters of the Humane Society and our family has had many pets that are

very important to us,” said Congressman MacArthur. “Animal protection issues bridge partisan divides and give us the opportunity to work together to uphold core humane values shared by the overwhelming majority of Americans. Thank you to the Humane Society for this recognition.”

OCEAN COUNTY – The results of an energy au-dit undertaken by Ocean County through a program administered by the state Board of Public Utilities were unveiled recently at meeting of the Ocean Coun-ty Board of Chosen Free-holders. “This audit is the result of an exhaustive examination of the first group of several buildings maintained by Ocean County,” said Free-holder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Buildings and Grounds. “As it reaches its final stag-es, I look forward to sharing the results of the audit, which I believe will help with our energy needs into

Ocean County Unveils Energy Planthe future.” The audit looked at six fa-cilities including the Ocean County Courthouse, the Ocean County Adminis-tration Building, the Ocean County Jail, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, the Ocean County Justice Complex and the parking garage all located in down-town Toms River. “These facilities total 1,022,775 square feet,” Vi-cari said. “They produce an annual energy bill of $2.3 million.“The audit will show how the county can reduce that bill and save money based on recommendations,” he said. Once the audit was ap-proved by the BPU’s Of-fice of Clean Energy, the

county was next to receive the report containing rec-ommended cost effective “self-funding” energy effi-ciency measures and facility upgrades that are designed to reduce operating expens-es, save energy and reduce emissions. “The improvements may include upgrades to the lighting systems, automat-ed controls for lighting, upgrades to existing heat-ing and air conditioning systems and some building improvements,” Vicari said. “This audit is another step in the county’s ongoing efforts to conserve energy and to reap the benefits of renewable energy savings.” “The BPU’s Clean En-ergy program promotes

increased energy efficiency and the use of clean, renew-able sources of energy,” said Michael Fiure, director of Management and Budget. “We began this process in late 2014 to participate in the Local Government Energy Audit to identi-fy cost-justified efficiency measures.” Vicari noted 100 percent of the cost of the audit was paid for by a grant from the Office of Clean Energy. “This is an important step at looking at our energy needs and how to reduce those costs,” said Freehold-er Director John P. Kelly, director of Law and Public Safety. “The buildings that were reviewed are those that have heavy use by the public

with most being centers for government services.” Over the course of about three months, representa-tives from Concord Engi-neering visited each county location noted in the audit and did a complete review of the building. “They looked at elec-tric and natural gas us-age, building architectural and engineering drawings, lighting systems, heating and air conditioning equip-ment and controls, roofs, windows, doorways, occu-pancy schedules and main-tenance practices,” Vicari said.Vicari said the county will review all measures pre-sented for each facility along with funding op-

portunities made available by the New Jersey Clean Energy program. “We expect that incentives may be available for some or all of the recommended upgrades,” Fiure said. Vicari noted the county maintains about 135 build-ings that house government services and programs.“We are always looking for ways to reduce our energy costs,” he said. “Some au-dit recommendations like upgrading lighting could be done quickly and provide a cost savings. Others may be done over time. All of the projects must provide energy savings and energy conservation measures to be considered for imple-mentation.”

OCEAN COU NTY – Calling it “ludicrous” and “unconscionable,” Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari is asking a state panel to deny a 24 percent increase to New Jersey Natural Gas rates. Vicari, who is chairman of the Ocean County De-par tment of Consumer Affairs, penned a letter to the state Board of Public Utilities President Richard Mroz asking that the BPU reject the utility’s request. “Such an unheard of increase would have a

devastat ing impact on our residents, especially senior citizens living on f ixed incomes,” Vicar i said. “How are seniors expected to pay an extra $22 per month, or more than $260 per year?” The increase would be even more of a burden on seniors because the federal government did not grant a cost-of-living increase to Social Security recipients this year. “Our seniors saw only a 1.7 percent Social Security cost of living increase in

2015 and none at all in 2016,” said Vicari, who is also chairman of the Ocean County Office of Senior Services. Additionally, older adults unable to pay the increase might resor t to drast ic measures in an effort to save money. “I am afraid many se-niors may jeopardize their health by keeping their heat at low or even dan-gerous levels during the coldest winter months in an effort to save money,” he said. “Natural gas is not

a privilege, it’s a necessity for living, cooking and bathing.” Vicari said many local businesses and homeown-ers are also still recovering from the devastating im-pact of Super Storm Sandy. He called the proposed rate increase “an unwar-ranted burden for those p rope r t y ow ner s s t i l l struggling to get back on

their feet” following the storm. “I strongly encourage the BPU to reject this uncon-scionable rate increase,” Vicari said in the letter to Mroz. Vicari said the proposed rates are even more abhor-rent following published reports that some gas com-pany executives saw their salaries jump by $1 million

in only one year. The salaries of the gas company’s top executives have nearly doubled since 2011, including a 40 per-cent raise between 2014 and 2015. “Instead of raising rates on the backs of its custom-ers, maybe the gas compa-ny should first rein in the high increases it pays its executives,” Vicari said.

BAYVILLE – The Bayville Volunteer First Aid Squad was busy in April. The squad con-tinued to be available to the citizens of Berke-ley Township, as well as Lacey Township, Forked River and Ocean Gate residents. Due to the shortage of volunteers, Berkeley EMS Squad 55 will be responding to emergency calls on Sunday night, Wednesday during the day and Saturday during the day and night until the squad can increase its membership from 22 active members to 30 active members. The Berkeley EMS consists of EMTs like the Bayville First Aid Squad, but they are paid by the township. They perform the same duties and have the same training as the Bayville Vol-unteer First Aid Squad members. The Berkeley EMS squad only answered 23 of the 164 calls received this month. Of the 141 calls answered by the volunteer Bayville First Aid Squad, they included: six calls due to abdominal pain; nine car-diac emergencies; nice patients who were involved with motor vehicle accidents; three overdose patients; six patients who were bleeding and required first aid: nine

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 bartenders. The players will pose for pictures and sign au-tographs 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 As-sociation 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 Tus-

can 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 calling 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-profit organization of the Lakewood BlueClaws and supports over 40 Community Partner organiza-tions and hundreds of non-profit organizations and fundraising events each year.

OCEAN COUNTY – Caregiver Canines is a unique program of Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey (CVCJ) that brings together those who share a mutual love of dogs and people. All the canines in the program are cer-tified therapy dogs, which are then matched, along with their handler, to visit with one of the organization’s senior citizens in their homes. These meetings are generally once a week, and last about 45 minutes. Wonderful bonds of love are formed between the dog, the handler and especially the person they are visiting. There is no charge for the services provided by CVCJ and Caregiver Canines. The organization is especially in need of therapy dogs to visit the elderly in the Toms River and Brick areas. To join Caregiver Canines and learn more about the program, call Danielle at 732-505-2273 ext. 202 , email [email protected] or visit facebook.com/caregivercanines.

Escapee:Continued From Page 1

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 some-one in the woods led police to apprehend Buckel without 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 Lac-ey Township. Detective Keith Pearce responded immediately to the location near the rest stop and held the subject at gun point. With the assistance of the New Jersey Department of Corrections Off icer, escapee Arthur Buckel was taken into custody without resistance,” said Paprota. The chief commended the mult i-ple-agency efforts after the first tip came in late May 8. “The members of the Lac-ey 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 residents,” 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, sometime on May 3. The 38-year old man was admitted to Bayside 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 considered 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 reported-ly 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 appre-hension 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 stu-dents 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.

the walls are inscribed with the names of fallen officers, where the memorial service was held later in the week. But first they had to get there. The bicy-cling participants were met with commu-nity support at several turns, whether local officials held ceremonies honoring them or local police provided escorts or other support. In Toms River on May 9, the Ocean County Freeholders held a Police Unity Tour cer-emony, which honored among others Tina Rambo, a detective in the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, who was driving on Route 70 in 2011 when an oncoming car veered in front of her car and the two hit head-on. Riding in honor of Cpl. Scott R. Thompson were members of the Manchester Township Police Department. Manchester held a ceremony of its own May 9. Each year, a group of Officers from the Manchester Township Police Department has completed the Unity Tour in honor of Ptl. Robert Tobias, who was struck by a passing motorist and killed while conducting a traffic stop along Route 70 in 1975. In addition to Ptl. Tobias, whose family was in attendance, this year’s ride honors Cpl. Thompson, who passed away on April 10, 2015, while exercising in the police headquarters gym. His

wife, Mrs. Tracy Thompson, was presented with the Unity Tour Gold Rose during the riders’ stop in Manchester Township. “We remember the sacrifices, we care for those left behind, and we never forget that it is a privilege to be in this Blue fraternity, because there is no other one like it. It is an honor to be a part of this Unity Tour to ride for those who died,” said Chief Lisa Parker, who along with Mayor Kenneth Palmer and Rev. James Davis, offered re-marks in remembrance of Cpl. Thompson and all of those law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice for their communities. The widows and widowers of those police officers who have died did not just attend the ceremonies, but some also make the long bike ride, such as group of police widowers from Palo Alto, CA, and Pittsburgh, PA who are fifth-year riders.

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 real-istic 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 dissatisfaction. 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 expectations. 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 difficulty 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 maximum 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 un-derstand speech more clearly, with less effort, in a variety of listening situations. Hearing aids should keep others from noticing your hearing loss.

FREE SCREENING for Detection of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA)

As many as 2.7 million Americans are estimated to have an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, but only about half of them have been diagnosed. Approximately 15,000 people die from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms in the United States each year. Many patients are not aware of the presence of an AAA. It is more prevalent in patients with history of smoking and family histories of abdominal aortic aneurysms

and hypertension. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms usually do not produce any symptoms until the aneurysm is ready to rupture. It is therefore important that persons over the age of 65, with family history

of AAA and/or history of smoking, should be screened to detect the presence of an aneurysm.If the aneurysm is found and happens to be less than 5 centimeters, the patient should be followed periodically as an outpatient with ultrasound to check for any significant increase in the size of the

aneurysm. If the aneurysm turns out to be greater than 5 centimeters, the patient should consider repair of the aneurysm and discuss treatment options with a Vascular surgeon.

Please call the office at 732-244-4448 to schedule your free screening.

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.

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.

OCEAN COUNTY – More than 750 prom dresses were distributed free of charge to young adults during this year’s Ocean County Library prom dress program. The Prom Dress Giveaway program, now in its seventh year, achieved record-breaking numbers in terms of attendance and dresses according to library staff. The distribution was held at the library’s Little Egg Harbor, Lakewood, Barnegat, and Toms River branches. Hundreds of dresses were col-lected from all over the library system during the winter. “The Young Adult Services team, along with staff members from the four branches and

groups of hard-working teen volunteers, collect-ed, sorted, tagged, and arranged dresses for each giveaway,” said Senior Librarian Nancy Marino. The library’s facilities team transported the dresses and set up dressing rooms at each branch. “All the hard work and effort was worth it,” said Emily Mazzoni of Young Adult Ser-vices. “Almost 600 people attended the event. Over 750 dresses were given away, which is an increase of 50 dresses from last year.” Mazzoni said many teens who left with dresses expressed how they might not have otherwise been able to attend their proms. She said the mother of one recipient called the library “the Santa Claus of prom dresses.”

OCEAN COUNTY – The Garden State Phil-harmonic’s community chorus will host its 13th annual Choral Pops Dinner and Gift Auction on June 16 at 6 p.m. at the TR Hotel ballroom. At the event, the GSP Chorus will perform popular selections from Broadway musicals, drawing from “Wicked,” “Grease,” “South Pacific,” “Avenue Q” and others. Guests will be able to compete for prizes including theater tickets to the Algonquin Arts Theater and the Jay and Linda Grunin Center, a hotel stay at the TR Hotel in Toms River, custom family portraits by Kramer Portraits and more. Additional prize donations and event sponsors are needed. E-mail [email protected] or download commitment forms from GardenStatePhilharmonic.org. All donations and ad commitments due by May 19. To attend, purchase tickets online at Garden-StatePhilharmonic.org or call 732-255-0460. Tickets are $45 per person or a flat $425 for a table of 10. Business dress is encouraged. The prize auction and guest seating will begin at 5:30 p.m. The proceeds from the 13th annual Choral Pops Dinner and Gift Auction support the Garden State Philharmonic Symphony Society.

“The Choral Pops event is currently the GSP’s largest fund and friend-raising event each season. Raising financial support for arts and cultural programs continues to be a challenge in this region. The efforts of the GSP Chorus help to offset the fact that the GSP, to date, does not have any major benefactor. A short list of loyal grants and a growing list of individual donors who give a few dollars each year have allowed the GSP to reach its diamond year. Simply put, it takes a lot of effort by a lot of people to keep the music alive,” said Thomas Stephens, managing director. “The efforts of the GSP Chorus should be applauded and the members always deliver a not-to-be-missed event experience.” The GSP has served the Jersey Shore com-munities since 1955, growing from an entirely volunteer orchestra to a professional cultural organization offering resident and outreach programs. The GSP Chorus, added in 1984, and the hosts of the annual Choral Pops Dinner and Gift Auction, allows the GSP to present repertoire not offered by orchestras elsewhere, and also gives community Chorus members the opportunity to work side-by-side with professional musicians. New members are welcome annually.

OCEAN COUNTY – “As the weather gets warmer, the days get longer, more people enjoy being outside. We know that as the weather improves, it will not take long for the mosquito season to officially arrive,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Di-rector Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) public health coor-dinator said, “Right now is the time to get outside and look around your property for any standing water where any type of mosquito can breed. Presently, many are focused on Zika Virus. The people in New Jersey who have developed this had visit-ed one of the affected countries by Zika. The OCHD is in constant communication with the New Jersey Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding this issue, and most certainly will keep the public updated. In addition, there are other mosquito-borne illnesses that we focus on, such as West Nile Virus.” Regenye added, “This means we need to take every possible step that we can to avoid mosquito bites. There are so many places on one’s property that standing wa-ter can exist even something as small as a bottle cap. An important part of mosquito control around your home is making sure that mosquitoes don’t have a place to lay their eggs. Take advantage of the upcom-

Membership is open to anyone in career transition, including unemployed, underem-

ing warm weather as we move towards summer to: Get rid of standing water in rain gutters, old tires, buckets, plastic covers, toys or any other container where mosquitoes can breed. Empty and change the water in bird baths, fountains, wading pools, rain barrels and potted plant trays at least once a week to eliminate potential mosquito habitats. Drain temporary pools of water or fill with dirt. Make sure windows, doors and door screens are “bug tight,” and there are no holes in the screens. Keep swimming pool water treated and circulating. Replace outdoor lights with yellow “bug” lights, which tend to attract fewer mosqui-toes than ordinary lights. The yellow lights are not repellents, however. Use the following tips to help protect against exposure to mosquitoes: Use EPA-Registered insect repellents when necessary and follow label directions and precautions closely. Do not use on ba-bies under two months. Do not apply on a child’s hands, eyes, mouth or irritated skin. Tuck shirts into pants and pants into socks to cover gaps in clothing where mosquitoes can get to skin. Use mosquito netting over baby carriages and stroller. Visit the OCHD website at ochd.org.

OCEAN COUNTY – May is recognized as Better Hearing and Speech Month, said Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health De-partment public health coordinator. “In a recent survey by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, it found more than half of the parents surveyed have concerns about the potential negative impact of technology use affecting the ability of young children to communicate,” Regenye said. “Even with the advances in technology, it is essential that children have sufficient opportunities to develop their vocabulary and communication skills by listening, talking, reading and interacting with their parents and others, for which there is no substitute.” “Two-year old children are working hard to

Limiting Technology For Very Young Childrenwalk, run, speak and play,” said Ocean Coun-ty Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “But did you know that more than two-thirds of two-year-olds are also using tablets, more than half play with a parent or sibling’s smart phone and one in four are using some form of technology at the dinner table?” Other findings are: Twenty-four percent of two-year-olds use technology at the dinner table, which is a time for interaction that fosters strong communica-tion development. It is also a time for family sharing and bonding. By age six, 44 percent of children would rather play a game on a technology device than read a book or be read to.

By age eight, a majority of children would prefer to use technology when spending time with a family member or friend. More than half the parents’ surveyed say they use technology to keep children ages zero to three entertained, nearly 50 percent of parents of children who are eight-years-old report they often rely on technology to prevent behavior problems and tantrums. There is no substitute – technological or oth-erwise – to developing vocabulary and com-munication skills through real conversations. Listening, talking, reading and interacting with parents and others is the best and only way children can build a sound foundation for a lifetime of communication. Even while driving, short or long distances, parents may

want to use the time to converse with their child. It is important to take advantage of every chance to build strong communication skills. Some other tips to for parents: listen and respond to your child; talk using lots of different words, read and play with your child; talk with your child in the language you are most comfortable using; know it is good to teach your child to speak a second language; talk about what you are doing and what your child is doing; use longer sentences as your child gets older and encourage your child to put words together and have your child play with other children.

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

degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Exercise Science from James Madison University in 2010. Lori then attended Seton Hall University where she there received a Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2015. While at Seton Hall Lori and three of her classmates conducted extensive research on gait patterns and deviations, developing on study entitled ‘The Effect of Asymmetry in Upper and Lower Extremity Interactions on Braking, Propulsive and Vertical Impulses in Healthy Adults’. This study was accepted to and presented in the National Combined Sections Meeting in 2015.

Lori has had clinical rotations in areas of outpatient orthopedic, acute rehabilitation and subacute skilled nursing facility. She has worked with and treated a wide range of diagnoses and patient populations including amputations, cerebral vascular accidents, Parkinsons, cerebral palsy, joint replacements, traumatic brain injuries, arthritis and post-surgical.

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!

Dr. Haque has had vascular surgery fel-lowship at Downstate Medical Center also in Brooklyn. He is board certified in general surgery, as well as general vascular surgery. The doctor has limit-ed himself to the practice of wide range diseases involving the carotid arteries, prevention of stroke, abdominal aortic aneurysm, and arterial as well as ve-nous diseases of the lower extremities. He deals with complex vascular limb threatening problems involving limb salvage by minimally invasive and open vascular procedures. Dr. Haque spends quality time with his patients, treating them with utmost respect and compassion. In doing this: the doctor knows that when the patients are leav-ing his office they are fully aware and better educated of their conditions, and are extremely satisfied with the care rendered to them in a professional and compassionate manner. Dr. Haque’s experience of expertise are carotid artery problems, which can be a source of stroke in some patients. Surgery is not required in every patient with carotid artery disease, although they do require close follow-up and may need intervention upon becoming symptomatic. When the narrowing (otherwise known as stenosis) reaches greater than 80 percent, depending on the patient’s health, surgery may be recommended to prevent the future of stroke.

FREE SCREENING for Detection of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA)

As many as 2.7 million Americans are estimated to have an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, but only about half of them have been diagnosed. Approximately 15,000 people die from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms in the United States each year. Many patients are not aware of the presence of an AAA. It is more prevalent in patients with history of smoking and family histories of abdominal aortic aneurysms

and hypertension. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms usually do not produce any symptoms until the aneurysm is ready to rupture. It is therefore important that persons over the age of 65, with family history

of AAA and/or history of smoking, should be screened to detect the presence of an aneurysm.If the aneurysm is found and happens to be less than 5 centimeters, the patient should be followed periodically as an outpatient with ultrasound to check for any significant increase in the size of the

aneurysm. If the aneurysm turns out to be greater than 5 centimeters, the patient should consider repair of the aneurysm and discuss treatment options with a Vascular surgeon.

Please call the office at 732-244-4448 to schedule your free screening.

ischemic attack (TIA) or mini stroke include sudden loss of vision in one eye, speech related problems, or sudden weakness of the arms or leg. Dr. Haque has long experience in managing problems of abdominal aortic aneurysms, f irst with open repair and now with endovascular in-tervention also known as a minimally invasive procedure. Minimally inva-sive repair of the aneurysm has truly revolutionized the treatment of the abdominal aortic aneurysm. In most cases, the patient is admitted on the day of surgery. After the procedure, patients are usually eating the same day and a great majority of patients go home the next day. Dr. Haque carries special interest in the salvage of the lower extremities for patients at risk of toe, foot, or leg loss. Patients can be at risk for loss of limbs due to the complications of diabetes or PAD, causing non-healing wounds of the foot in which holds the potential to progress to gangrene. All such patients are thoroughly evaluated first with noninvasive studies including an arterial Doppler, ultrasound, MRI or CT scan. Based upon the findings, a treatment plan is developed to suit the individual need of the patient. Coronary artery disease is the hard-ening of the artery involving the other parts of the human body. The doctor makes sure that patients are evaluated for the presence or absence of any un-derlying coronary artery disease prior to any vascular surgery interventions for a very safe outcome. The treatment option for these problems include bal-loon angioplasty, atherectomy (cutting out calcium plaques to create a chan-nel in a blocked artery) and stenting if appropriate; otherwise open repair

may be necessary or a better option. Most vascular problems are caused by risk factors of smoking, diabetes, hy-pertension, high choles-terol and family history. Dr. Haque will talk to patients about risk factors, and emphasizes the impor-tance of lifestyle changes. These lifestyle changes include but are not limited to: eating less, low-calorie low-fat diets, exercise, and medications in that order to avoid the compli-cations from atheroscle-rosis or hardening of the arteries which can cause a stroke, heart attack or loss of limb. The doctor keeps himself abreast of new developments in the field of vascular surgery by attending seminars, lectures and learning new technologies to perform the complicated vascular procedures for a better outcome. Dr. Shahid Haque is past president of Ocean County Medical Society and member of the Medical Society of New Jersey. He is also fellow of the American College of Surgeons.

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.
