PARCC SCORES UP IN JACKSON

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – Jackson’s PARCC scores mostly saw a marked improvement over last year’s numbers. Schools Assistant Superintendent Dan Baginski gave a brief overview of the district’s Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers assessments during the Board of Education’s meeting on September 20. An in-depth presentation will be given on October 18. The scores were from the spring 2016 assessment. “Evaluating the results from PARCC testing can be a helpful tool in measuring your child’s success in school, and it is just one of the many ways our teachers [and] administrators can determine whether he or she is on track to being college- and career-ready New Jersey has had statew ide tests for decade s, and they have served as a small, but important part of assessing our students’ annual progress,” school superintendent Stephen Genco wrote to parents recently. “We are pleased that we are receiving these scores from the state much sooner than we have in the past. The faster turnaround gives educators a greater opportunity to use the results of these and other assessments and observations to tailor classroom instruction to support individual students.” Participation was up in the district from 2015’s test participation, Baginski said. For example, 96 percent of district high schoolers took the spring 2016 assessments, up from the lower 90 percent range last school year. Students across the grade levels and state “opted out” from taking PARCC last year. According to NJ.com, the state department of education did not count opt-outs, but instead recorded 130,000 non-tested students, which were either absent, had a medical emergency, or (Score - See Page 5)

Pet Ministries Bless Four-Legged Friends

By Lois Rogers The fifth annual Blessing of the Animals, Pet Fair and Pet Adoption Day unfolded on the wide green lawns behind St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, Herbertsville Road, Brick, with scores of critters and the “service humans” who gathered with them for recognition of their place in God’s creation. One-by-one and sometimes two-by-two, as in the case of a couple of pooches who rode a cart to receive their blessings from Pastor Alan Darby, the critters reflected the peaceable kingdom at its best. The sense of tranquility continued even after the pets – mainly dogs with a sprinkling of cats – received their blessings. Settling in

shady spots, the pets munched on treats and slurped from huge water bowls thoughtfully set out by members of the congregation’s Pet Ministry which sponsors and coordinates the community outreach event. Among four and two-footed friends relaxing after the blessing were Susan Keenan and Xena, her canine partner in rescue operations with a team based out of Wendell, North Carolina where she has taken many training classes. Keenan, Brick, is a retired Elizabeth police officer. This is the second year she and Xena, a stately, rescued Belgian Malinois, have come for the blessing on their rescue missions.

“other” issue. The State does not have a legal opt-out option, and this summer the state board of education adopted requirements that the class of 2021 must pass the 10th grade Algebra I and English PARCC exams to graduate. But according to a September 22 announcement by Save Our Schools New Jersey, saveourschoolsnj.org, Toms River became the 28th school district in the state to adopt a resolution against making PARCC a graduation requirement for that class and beyond. The grassroots, parent-led organization issued a statement on August 3 against the state board’s decision. “Despite unified opposition from parents, school board members, and teachers, the State Board of Education has chosen to endorse a graduation requirement so inappropriately difficult that it would fail 60 percent of New Jersey students,” that statement said.

The Jackson Times, October 1, 2016, Page 5 Jackson’s spring 2016 scores, according to Baginski, mostly exceeded the state averages. The number of students scoring in the one to two range—did not yet meet expectations and partially met expectations, respectively—dropped, while scores in the four (met expectations) and five (exceeded expectations) ranges “increased greatly,” he said. This year’s senior class, last year’s 11th-graders, did lag behind state averages, Baginski said. He said the administration will discuss that anomaly at the October meeting. Parents were able to access their children’s scores on the district’s Parent Portal, parents.jacksonsd.org. The district directed parents and guardians to two websites to better explain the tests and scores, UnderstandTheScore.org and state. nj.us/education. The Jackson Board of Education will hold its next meeting at 6:30 p.m. on October 18 in the JMHS Fine Arts Auditorium.

It’s a mission Keenan embraced because “so many people and families need help in finding loved ones,” she said. The majority of the searches undertaken by the team have been for the K9 Emergency Response Team in North Carolina, she said. “They are like family down there,” said Keenan who added that she loves the ongoing mission. “We come (here) to ask for God’s help,” as they venture forth in the quest to reunite people with their loved ones. Janine Siano, also Br ick, brought Buzz, her very polite beagle to his first blessing since she rescued him from an area shelter. “We were away on vacation and went out of our way to be here,” said Siano who spoke of how Buzz brought her out of a bout with anxiety and depression. “I wanted a dog to help me and I went to a shelter with thoughts of rescuing a shepherd,” she said as Buzz nuzzled her hand. “But Buzz picked me,” she added, describing how he approached her warmly and encouraged her to pet his head.” “He was a return to the shelter and he was the smallest dog there,” Siano said, noting that she quickly bonded with Buzz as did her husband. “This feels like a great event,” Siano said of the day. “It feels Godly.” Along with the blessings, it was a day that offered a lot of practical informa-

tion and entertainment. The church Pet Ministry rounded up more than 30 animal related vendors and 10 non-profit organizations focusing on rescue and adoption. There were demonstrations by professional dog trainers and K-9 demonstrations and canine massage therapists. A highlight of the visit for many children was the petting zoo set up by Legacy Ranch, Howell, where Pastor Darby conveyed blessings to, among others, a couple of skunks, Tom the turkey, a duck named AFLAC, an emu, a lama and a very fetching pig. There was a lot of traffic in and out of the rescue organizations including the trailer operated by the S.A.V.E. Rescue Shelter cur rently located on Fischer Blvd. in Toms River but soon to move into a new facility on Route 9, according to Michele Verga who called the day a good over all outreach to the community at large. And that is the intention of the ministry said Ivy Kirn, who helped found it. “Our mission is to support and honor God’s charge to us to honor the animals,” said Kirn. She added that the group steadfastly works make good on that pledge, not only with the Blessing and fair, but with initiatives throughout the year. A new initiative is to ask congregants to contribute to support a shelter every month. There are two shelters receiving support now, she said. “Our goal is to have a 12 month presence,” over time, she said.

Allaire To Field 1800’s Baseball Game

ALLAIRE – The great-granddaughter of one of the national pastime’s pioneers will be among the spectators when the Bog Iron Boys will host the Harrisburg (PA) Keystones at the Historic Village of Allaire on October 2. The teams will play baseball by the rules of

1864 – without fielding gloves. Doc Adams wanted it that way. Major League Baseball’s official historian calls Adams “the most significant figure in the early history of baseball.” Marjorie Adams of Connecticut, Doc’s descendant and an advocate for his election

to the Hall of Fame, will attend October 2’s game. Her great-grandfather invented the shortstop position and set bases 90 feet apart, the number of innings at nine and the number of players on a team at nine. The New York physician played with the Knickerbockers in Hoboken, the actual birthplace of baseball. Adams presided over the adoption of “The Laws of Base Ball.” His original document recently sold for more than $3 million. The October 2, noon game will be the last one at home for the Bog Iron Boys this year. After facing the Pennsylvania team, the Allaire team will –Photo courtesy Bog Iron Boys finish the season in A vintage baseball game between the Bog Iron Boys and the Keystones will come to Allaire on October 2.

the Chesapeake Nine on October 9. The Historic Village of Allaire, in Wall Township’s Allaire State Park, was an iron-making “company town” in the 1800s. Today it is a living history museum with guides in period clothing who take visitors through authentically restored buildings. Admission to the park will be free on Sunday. It is at 4262 Atlantic Avenue, Farmingdale. Spectators are urged to bring lawn chairs. The baseball team wears long-sleeved shirts and cravats (ties). Although the 1864 rules call for underhand pitches, they play a fastpaced game. Vintage sport re-enactors from other states consider the village hallowed ground. It was the spring training site for the 1898 Brooklyn major league team which later became the Dodgers. The Bog Iron Boys are seeking more volunteers to play with the team next season. Current players are from Monmouth, Ocean and other counties – some even from nearby states – and they range from teenagers to senior citizens.

Ocean Ride Recognized As Outstanding System Of The Year OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean Ride, Ocean County’s public transportation system, has been recognized as the 2016 Outstanding System of the Year by the New Jersey Council on Special Transportation (NJ COST) a statewide advocacy association formed in 1981 to provide information and support for community based transit services. Director David Fitzgerald noted that Ocean Ride is on the forefront of County transportation services in New Jersey. “Ocean Ride’s ability to serve older adults and individuals with disabilities by providing critical services in assisting residents seeking to remain independent is unmatched statewide,” Fitzgerald said. In 2015, Ocean Ride provided 313,167 trips. Ocean Ride is funded in part by a grant from NJ Transit under the Senior Citizen and Disabled Resident Transportation Assistance Program, which revenues are derived from casino revenues. In an effort to maximize its funding, Ocean County has made important upgrades to its transportation software system, including new on board tablets in the vehicles making it more efficient for drivers and more helpful for its ridership. In addition the department continues to monitor all service levels for efficiencies. The county’s contribution for the service accounts for roughly $2.9 million, which represents more than 53 percent of Ocean Ride’s total budget. Ocean Ride began in 1977 with four vehicles and four drivers. Ocean Ride system has expanded to include a transit fleet of 72 vehicles and 62 full-time and part-time drivers.

Featured Letter Be A Candle That Lights The Way The last line of the first parag raph of the St ar Bangled Banner, “O’er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave” should be the motivation for paying respect to our Flag. Some may question their freedom because of the actions of a few, but we are all bound by laws and judicial powers that prevail. Tr ue, we may have some rogue police, but should we turn our back on all those who do ser ve a nd protect, both military and civil, in all t y pes of st r ife? Isn’t it the braver y of ou r m i l it a r y t h at h a s kept ou r cou nt r y f ree from oppressors? Police departments throughout the nation are on call 24 hours a day. Police of any color are a welcome sight when the call for h el p i s s o u n d e d . L e t us not judge all by the mistakes, and prejudice, of a few. All society has some inequity in the way laws are enforced. Some see enforcement of laws as b ei ng t he fo ot of t yrants on their back, but i n many com mu n it ies

it is law en forcement that protects the most vulnerable. Should society blame all police for the transgressions of a few? Should we blame e nt i r e bl a ck c o m mu nities for the sins of a few? Or, should we all stand up and try to right perceived wrongs? The K n ig ht s of Colu mbu s have as their motto, “It is bet t e r t o l ig ht one ca nd le, t ha n to cu r se the darkness.” Let all of us be the “candle that lights the way,” by working within the system without denigrating the work done by those who do a difficult job, under trying conditions, both military and civil. Rather than stok ing the fires of discontent, b e c o m e a n a d vo c a t e for prioritizing family and civil values to all you may touch or reach. Blatantly showing disrespect for our nation’s symbols will not only tarnish your name, but also besmirch our nation’s icons. Charles L. Frattini Manchester Twp. Councilman

Letters To The Editor Shouldn’t Be Too Proud It’s taken me over a month to get past the shock of reading just part of your article entitled “Local Comic Back on America’s Got Talent” on the front of your August 13th issue. So, this comedian “dropped the f-bomb on stage,” representing Whiting, and a letter is written on behalf of the Mayor saying “we are thrilled,” and “we are proud,” and “we are behind you every step of the way,” to this individual? Your article goes on to have the Mayor encouraging our local comic just as he would “one of our graduating high school students off to tackle the world.” Having thought about this a lot, it makes me wonder if the Mayor would write a letter of praise to any high school student who dropped the f-bomb while giving a speech during his or her graduation, or while applying for a job? While happy to see someone local on national TV, I’m disappointed in the Mayor for giving his blessing to this behavior. As for “America’s Got Talent,” I never watched it before and I certainly don’t intend to start watching it when Whiting is represented in this way. Chet Jelinski Whiting

Refused To Serve Last night, I watched Donald Tr ump tell why he thought he should be Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.

As I watched, I could not help but contrast his military experience with my ow n. Don ny a nd I graduated high school in the same month. He spent that summer having a good time, getting his first deferment. I spent that summer, like thousands of others, in basic training. While Donny was enjoying his second semester of college, my brother in law was killed in Vietnam. I was in Georgia, learning to be an operating room assistant. When Donny received his second deferment, I was at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, helping to deal with the hundreds of casualties of the war our country was fighting. When Donny got his third deferment, I was overseas. When he got his fourth deferment, I was just out of the Army and looking for a job, and struggling with PTSD. Donny graduated college that year. With his degree, if he had accepted his fifth call to serve his country, would likely have been put in the Finance Corps, and would have served his entire term of service at Fort Benjamin Harris, signing checks. Donny, instead, wrangled a fifth deferment. So, my question is, should the Commander in Chief be a coward who thought he was too good to serve, even as a payroll clerk? A man who calls those who did serve, “losers,” a man whose military service is less than that of a WAC, – should this man, who re-

Support Hagler For Commissioner A lifelong resident of Long Beach Island, I am thrilled to learn that Danielle Hagler, a young woman who I’ve known for over 30 years, is now a candidate running for Commissioner of Long Beach Township. In the many years I’ve known Danielle, I have found her to be an intelligent, highly motivated, honest, ethical, successful, kind and allaround great person. Danielle has an abundance of experience in leadership and in years of bringing people together to improve their lives. She is a graduate of Southern Regional, Coastal Carolina University and holds a Master’s Degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Danielle’s success in all areas of employment (Hagler’s Marina, several positions in the Fulbright Commission) as well as her community involvement (Coastal Volunteers in Medicine), show that Danielle has the spirit and attitude that it takes to represent the residents of Long Beach Township both impartially and successfully. Knowing that she is one of very few women to run for the Board of Commissioners for Long Beach Township, I couldn’t be more hopeful or excited for my friends/ neighbors who live in the Township and who have the opportunity to elect Danielle. While we all are aware of the high concentration of women business owners/operators in the Township, having Danielle on the Board of commissioners will provide an impartial, yet highly experienced voice for the men and women of Long Beach Township. Danielle and her husband have a vested interest in keeping Long Beach Township a hometown commu-

nity, one in which to reside and raise their newborn daughter. Although I reside in Barnegat Light, I take an interest in what is happening in each of the towns of the Island as one aspect or another will surely impact me. It’s my belief that Danielle Hagler will serve the residents of Long Beach Township well, and that she is the type of person needed to lead the Township community in the right direction. I fully support Danielle and her team because they represent what our Island community needs most. Becky Tarditi Barnegat Light

Lenape Homeland We’ve all heard place names like Man hattan, Hoboken, Rumson, Navesink and Manasquan. What few know is that these are all Lenape words, the language of the native people of New Jersey, along with Delaware, and the NYC-Philly metro areas. But in the region, there isn’t a single federally recognized Lenape reservation. Looking deeper into the history reveals broken treaties, broken promises, genocide, and forced exile. Lenape survivors were forced under duress to Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. The maltreatment and murder of Lenape is the dirty secret of New Jersey history. One that most ignore entirely, or heavily whitewash. The Lenape were promised their own sovereign state in New Jersey for fighting the British during the American Revolution. The government lied. They proceeded to kick out the survivors from their land, with a mere $1,000 Spanish Dollar payment under duress. End this genocide, fraud, and apartheid. Give Lenapehoking back to the Lenape, stop the fraud of New Jersey, and tell Chris Christie the Governor isn’t wearing any clothes. Eric Hafner Toms River

Councilmen Condemn National Anthem Protesters

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – He called their behavior “outrageous.” Councilman Barry Calogero finished his comments at the September 13 Jackson Council meeting by condemning the actions of a Camden high school football team, “I want to comment on the outrageous behavior of the Camden High School Football team and coach, who disrespected the brave men and women who fought so hard and died so they can exercise their constitutional right of freedom of speech,” Calogero said. “I will invoke that same right…and publicly state that you are a disgrace to the State of New Jersey, and if you cannot respect such a patriotic symbol as our national anthem, I dare you to find another country that will be more tolerable of your disgusting and despicable behavior and then move there.” According to NBC10 in Philadelphia, The Woodrow Wilson Tigers, led by Coach Preston Brown, knelt during a recorded playing of The Star-Spangled Banner at their home game on September 10 against Highland High in Blackwood. Two Tigers did stand during the anthem. Brown spoke to NJ.com after his team’s 13-7 loss. “All my life I felt like I stood up for the national anthem as a formality,” Brown told NJ.com. “It never meant that much to me. I still love America. I have nothing against it, and I still love our military and all that they do but it was never a song that moved me. I always just closed my eyes and did it. He continued: “(Because) of recent events that happened the last couple years, things I experienced in college being an African-American student athlete in the south (at Tulane), I felt it was an appropriate time to do that.” According to United States Code Title 36, “Patriotic and National Observances, Ceremonies, And Organizations,” during the playing of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, “individuals in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that

position until the last note; members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute in the manner provided for individuals in uniform; and all other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, and men not in uniform, if applicable, should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart; and when the flag is not displayed, all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed.” More and more professional and student athletes are choosing to kneel during the national anthem, a move sparked by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick back in August. “These people protesting the flags and the national anthem, this is what we witnessed in the ‘60s. It’s just a repeat of history,” council vice president Kenneth Bressi, a Vietnam veteran, said. Speaking of war protesters, he said, “We were taught when we came home from overseas, maybe you don’t want to wear a uniform, but you have to let them do it, that’s what you were there for, they have the right to do that.” Bressi continued: “I think it’s despicable that they do that. These teams that are encouraging it and going along with the coaches are despicable… It’s a smack in the face to every veteran that ever served. I am grossly against it.” Council president Rob Nixon also spoke on the controversy. The NFL is “a professional organization, you know what the rules are when you sign the contract. But the NFL needs to be consistent. You can’t have it both ways,” Nixon said. “You can’t say one person’s freedom of speech is more important than another person’s freedom of speech, and you’re going to allow disrespectful behavior to go by the wayside but someone that’s trying to stand up for the people we lost on 9/11, you say you’re going to fine them for being out of uniform, that’s garbage.”

Ocean County Distributes Recycling Revenue To Towns

OCEAN COUNTY – While some markets are seeing a steady decline in the sale of recyclables, Ocean County continues to make every effort to return a portion of recycling revenues to its participating municipalities. “We are returning almost $100,000 to our municipalities for materials recycled during the first half of 2016,” said Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to

the county’s recycling program. Under the Ocean County Recycling Revenue Sharing Program, municipalities are provided a portion of the recycling revenues based on the amount recycled and the market price of the material. During the first half of 2016, Ocean County collected 37,883 tons of recyclables from its municipalities. The payout for the period

was $2.57 per ton. As a result of these recycling efforts, municipalities collectively saved $2.7 million in the fi rst half of 2016 by not dumping those materials in the landfill where they would have to pay a tipping fee, said the freeholders. Little noted that since Ocean County began the Recycling Revenue Sharing program in

1995, the County has returned more than $15 million to its municipalities. The amount returned to the towns, under the revenue sharing program is based on the amount of recyclables collected and brought to the County and the price per commodity in the current market. “These prices change all the time,” Little said. “And even though we have seen a decline in the average price of many of the commodities we recycle, we are still able to return money to our towns.” For instance, tin cans are down $34 per ton to $98 per ton, aluminum has seen a decline of $163 per ton and some plastics have decreased by as much as $140 per ton in comparison to the same period in 2015 when the payout per ton was $6.56. Little said towns can use the money as needed although many invest it back into the recycling program. The largest recycling revenue sharing checks will go to Lakewood, Toms River and Brick townships. “And, while these are the county’s largest municipalities, I applaud all of our towns, even the smallest, for their ongoing recycling efforts,” Little said. The towns and the amounts they are scheduled to receive are: Barnegat Township, $3,330; Barnegat Light, $220; Bay Head, $218; Beach Haven, $667; Beachwood, $1,193; Berkeley Township, $5,387; Brick Township, $12,068; Eagleswood Township, $312; Harvey Cedars, $181; Island Heights, $284; Jackson Township, $6,307; Lacey Township, $4,692; Lakehurst, $318 and Lakewood Township, $18,214. Also, Lavallette, $537; Little Egg Harbor Township, $3,701; Long Beach Township, $1,413; Manchester Township, $3,246; Mantoloking, $74; Ocean Township, $1,033; Ocean Gate, $246; Pine Beach, $295; Plumsted Township, $718; Point Pleasant Beach, $1,143; Point Pleasant Borough, $3,697; Seaside Heights, $652; Seaside Park, $494; Ship Bottom, $485; South Toms River, $395; Stafford Township, $7,331; Surf City, $498; Toms River Township, $17,206; and Tuckerton, $791.

Elbow Up For some folks, inserting your hearing aid into your ear can be a real struggle. Sometimes you twist and turn the hearing aid which eventually creates a sore ear. Here are a few tricks you can utilize to properly insert your hearing instrument into your ear canal. First, for custom, non-behind-the-ear products, the “red” writing on the aid is for the right ear and the “blue” writing is for the left ear. Second, when you are inserting the aid, the “vent hole” is usually on the bottom of the aid facing outside.

Third, as you are trying to insert the instrument, make sure your elbow is “up” in line with your ear and push toward your nose. If your elbow is down, you may not insert the aid in the right direction. Thus, the aid may “stick” out of your ear and constantly ring. Remember, if you are struggling with hearing aid insertion, keep your elbow up while inserting the aid. This will make life a lot simpler and alleviate potential ear soreness and feedback. Finally, make sure you keep in close contact with your hearing healthcare professional who is there for guidance.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His ofﬁces are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

This is How you Feed your Brain By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

The biggest fear that older people face is Alzheimer’s disease, where memory and cognition begin to fade. I recently reviewed a client’s list of medications and he was taking two drugs to preserve brain function, Aricept and Namenda. These drugs are useful to some degree, but I feel that there are foods, spices and herbs in your own kitchen that go a long way to preserve cognitive function, stabilize mood and lower levels of anxiety. I absolutely love spices that heal, so much so that I have a free ebook “Spices that Heal” which you can download right now at my website suzycohen. com. This ebook talks about spices that heal all kinds of conditions. Now, here is how you properly feed your brain: Put hemp seeds in your salad. Hulled hemp seeds put healthy fats into your body, and offset the bad fats typical of an American diet. Hemp seeds have practically no THC, the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. They have a perfect 3:1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids. Put a tablespoon (daily) on your salad, scrambled eggs or roasted vegetables. Sprinkle my recipe for Brainpower Season Salt. Mix together the following 6 seasonings in equal amounts and put into an empty salt shaker. Sprinkle as desired: Rosemary, powdered gotu kola (get from an apothecary), himalayan salt, onion powder, powdered garlic (not garlic salt) and powdered turmeric. Eat mushrooms. I’m not talking Portabellos, I’m referring to Lion’s Mane

which gives us the active ingredient of Hericium erinaceus. Lion’s Mane is sold as a dietary supplement, and known for its potent neuroregenerative powers. I buy the real mushrooms in the fresh produce section and butter sauté them with Brussels sprouts and garlic. Lion’s Mane is a neurotrophic so my pick for you if you have any kind of brain damage from anything (trauma, benzos, mold, etc). Drink Juice. We all think of antioxidants as a dietary supplement, like Vitamin C, for example. Citrus juice is a great source of natural vitamin C so a few ounces of orange juice would provide natural C which helps you make dopamine, serotonin and other neurotransmitters that a healthy brain requires. Eat Foliage. By foilage, I mean salads and greens to give you folate, the natural form of the synthetic vitamin “folic acid.” Leafy greens like kale, spinach, broccoli, Swiss chard and lettuce have a lot of folate. Greens also provide powerful antioxidants so eat something green every day. I recommend you cook cruciferous vegetables in order to reduce goitrogens. Obviously you don’t cook the lettuce. Say yes when they offer black pepper. The servers will often ask if you want black pepper on your salad at restaurants. Say yes next time because piperine, the primary component of black pepper slows the breakdown of serotoin and raises other feel-good endorphins. Studies are ongoing for black pepper’s role in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

What Is The Link Between Being Over-Weight and Joint Pain? By Joseph Moscogiuri, DPT, Forked River Location

any times patients come through the door at All-Care with complaints of pain and discomfort in their hips and knees and have prescriptions for osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis (OA) is deﬁned as degeneration of joint cartilage and bone, which in turn leads to pain and stiffness. OA can be due to many causes, but one cause that is often over looked is a patient’s weight. Many of our joints in our body, such as our hips and knees, act as weight bearing structures, and are designed to withstand normal stressors placed on them such as walking. However, research has shown that the stress placed on these weight bearing joints is increased with every extra pound you may weigh. Let’s take the knee for example, it has been shown that for every extra pound someone weighs, the stress on their knees is increased by about 4 pounds. So if something is just 10 pounds over-weight that increases the stress on the knees by about 40 extra pounds. For someone that is 100 pounds over-weight, the stress is increased to about

considered healthy, while a BMI of 25-29.9 is considered overweight, and a BMI of >30 is considered obese. You can refer to the chart provided to get an estimate of your current BMI.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

400 pounds! All that increased pressure can lead to rapid break down of the joint, thus causing pain and stiffness and restricting you from doing the things you love.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU’RE OVER-WEIGHT?

An easy way to check whether you are over-weight is to calculate your BMI. Your BMI stands for Body Mass Index, and is a quick screening tool which is a measure of body fat, based on your weight in relation to your height. Typically a BMI that is < 18.5 is underweight, BMI ranging from 18.5-24.9 is

One of the best ways to lose weight is through diet and exercise. It is recommended that you get at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per day, as well as cut back on dietary fats and total calories. However, it is difﬁcult to exercise when pain and stiffness within your joints may restrict you. Physical therapist can use a number of manual therapy and soft tissue techniques in conjunction with modalities such as ice, heat, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound to help alleviate joint point. Once pain has subsided, a physical therapist can instruct you on appropriate and safe physical exercises which help combat the effects of OA. Stop in today at one of our nearest All-Care facilities to see what our knowledgeable and well trained therapist can do for you, and experience the All-Care difference.

Robert C. Shea Esq.

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

Strictly speaking, a lessee–you–is not required to pay the rental company additional money to insure their rented vehicle in the event the lessee is involved in a collision. New Jersey requires that all rental agencies provide liability coverage for lessees in the sum of $15,000.00 per person for bodily injury or death, $30,000.00 for bodily injury or death of all persons in one accident and $5,000.00 for property damage arising out of the negligent maintenance, use or operation of the rental vehicle upon public highways. In New Jersey, every owner or registrant of a vehicle must maintain certain statutorily minimum coverage for bodily injury, death and property damage. A lessor, such as Avis or Enterprise, is the owner of the rental vehicle(s), therefore they are legally responsible for maintaining the statutorily minimum insurance on their vehicles. An insurer’s policy that attempts to exclude

you (the lessee) from coverage is not enforceable. A rental company cannot take away your statutory rights. Michael J. Deem Esq. In addition, your personal automobile insurance policy will act as excess insurance in the event you injure someone or damage their property as a result of the negligent maintenance, use or operation of the rental vehicle upon public highways. If you choose to pay the rental company extra money for their insurance then ask them what it is you are purchasing? If they are legally required to provide you with basic liability coverage are you then purchasing excess insurance? If so how much additional insurance are you purchasing?

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward. 732-505-1212 ● RCSHEA.COM

JACKSON– This year marks the Ninth Annual Wounded Warrior parade in support of the Annual Wounded Warrior event hosted by the Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol Club located on South Stump Tavern Road in Jackson. On October 8, starting at approximately 9a.m., these veterans will be assembling at the Justice Complex in Jackson, as they prepare for their ride over to the Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol Club. “One of the privileges of the Office of the Mayor is to recognize and honor outstanding citizens of our community,” said Mayor Mike Reina. “Every year I have the privilege of riding alongside some true heroes ‑‑ Wounded Veterans of the Iraq and

Wounded Warrior Parade Oct. 8

Afghanistan Wars, along with veterans from Vietnam, Korea, and WWII.” Reina said the parade features widespread community involvement. “The support from the community has been excellent and we look forward to this event each and every year,” said the mayor. All residents, organizations and clubs, including those from neighboring towns can line up from the Justice Complex on West Veterans Highway to the Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol Club as a sign of support and to honor heroes. “We owe a great debt to those who have served in defense of this nation. The freedoms we enjoy today as Americans have been purchased at a high price. For many,

their sacrifice ended in permanent injury, yet their spirit remains in the continued preservation of our freedoms and the promise of liberty. Showing your support will only take a few minutes out of your day but will provide a lasting memory for these heroes,” said Reina. The Warriors will be escorted to the Club range by the Jackson Township Police Department, Jackson Township Volunteer Fire Companies, Jackson Township First Aid squads, motorcycle groups, as well as many other grateful individuals volunteering to show support for these brave soldiers. Any other agencies that can spare their manpower and equipment are invited to join the procession as a further show of support. The

escort should leave the Justice Complex around 9:30 a.m. Mayor Reina, who is also a member of the Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol Club, is looking forward to spending time again this year alongside these courageous men and women. Spectators will be asked to safely park their cars along the roads, wave flags and show their support as the parade passes by. Any agency, club or group wishing to take part in this show of support should contact Mayor Reina’s office at 732-928-1200 ext.1211. All Wounded Warriors and Veterans from any War who are interested in attending should email Al Dolce at njgunfun@gmail. com.

National Childhood Obesity Month – A Major Public Health Problem

OCEAN COUNTY – “About 1 of every 5 children in the United States is obese or overweight and certain groups of children are more affected than others,” stated Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “We realize there is no simple solution; National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month provides an opportunity for learning about ways to prevent and address this serious health concern.” Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator, said, “Children who are overweight or obese as preschoolers are 5 times more

likely as normal-weight children to be overweight or obese as adults. This can lead to lifelong physical and mental health problems, including diabetes and increased risk of certain cancers.” Regenye continued, “Childhood obesity is influenced by many factors. For some children and families, factors include too much time spent in sedentary activities such as television viewing; a lack of bedtime routine leading to too little sleep; a lack of community places to get adequate physical activity; easy access to inexpensive, high calorie snacks and beverages; and/or a lack of access to affordable, healthier foods. An-

other issue obese children face is bullying and the stigma of being obese.” Some ways parents can help prevent obesity and support healthy growth in their children are: Make sure children get adequate sleep, follow recommendations on daily screen (TV, computers) time, and eat the right amount of calories. Parents can substitute higher nutrient, lower calorie foods such as fruit and vegetables in place of foods with higher-calorie ingredients, such as added sugars and solid fats. Parents can ensure access to water as a

no-calorie alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages. Parents can help children get the recommended amount of physical activity each day by encouraging them to participate in activities that are age-appropriate and enjoyable. There are a variety of age appropriate aerobic and muscle and bone strengthening activities that kids can do. The Ocean County Health Department offers programs on obesity, nutrition and physical activity for schools, parents and the community.

Professional Profile New Jersey Hematology Oncology Associates

By Robert Verderese 2016 marks the 20th anniversary of New Jersey Hematology Oncology Associates (NJHOA)—a premiere medical practice in Ocean County, specializing in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of blood diseases (hematology) and cancer (oncology). Founded in Brick, NJ by Dr. Amin in 1996, the practice quickly grew and was joined by Jayne Pavlak-Schenk, DO, in 2000. NJHOA opened an additional office in Toms River, NJ in 2005 and in 2011 Dr. Agrawal joined the practice. Providing a broad range of services including molecular tumor profiling, immunotherapy, clinical trials and heredity cancer screening, NJHOA offers cutting-edge cancer care with compassion for you and your loved-ones. At NJHOA, Dr. Apurv Agrawal places a great deal of importance on communication with his patients and their families: “I always take the time to educate my patients about their disease and I treat them with the highest degree of respect. I believe in delivering exceptional care without exception.” Dr. Agawal is a lifelong New Jersey resident. He was born in Hackensack, and grew up in Edison and Jackson. Board certified in Medical oncology, Internal Medicine, and Hospice and Palliative Care Medicine, Dr. Agawal has been voted as one of “America’s Top Oncologists” by Consumers’ Research Council of America in 2012, 2013, and 2014. In 2015 he was featured in NJ Monthly magazine and recognized as a “Jersey Choice Top Doc.”

apy mainly consists of boosting the immune system’s natural ability to detect and kill abnormal cells. “Immunotherapy is on the forefront of cancer treatment and gives patients who don’t respond to conventional therapy more options,” Dr. Agrawal asserts. Another important service provided at NJHOA is hereditary cancer screening. “The genes we are born with may contribute to our risk of developing certain types of cancer, including breast, ovarian, colorectal, and prostate cancer,” says Dr. Amin, founder of NJHOA, who is Board Certified in Medical Oncology, Hematology, and Internal Medicine. “If you have a family history of cancer, we can help you understand your risk for disease. We offer genetic counseling and testing, and can assist you in making informed medical decisions.” “We also offer the latest clinical trials,” adds Jayne Pavlak-Schenk, DO, who was born in Perth Amboy, New Jersey and grew up on the Gulf Coast and in New Jersey. Dr. Jayne PavThe Brick office is located at 1608 Route 88, Suite 250 and the phone lak-Schenk is number is 732-840-8880. Board Certified The goal of NJHOA to provide the most cutting-edge treatment for their patients cannot be overstated: “I am a proponent of molecular profiling in that it helps me choose a treatment regimen for my patients,” explains Dr. Agrawal. Molecular profiling is a method of testing that looks at each person’s cancer tumor and studies the genetic characteristics as well as any unique biomarkers. “This targeted approach helps us to develop individual, cancer-specific treatment plans for our patients,” continues Dr. Agrawal. The physicians at NJHOA are also champions of a cancer treatment called “Immunotherapy.” This is a type of treatment that uses the body’s own immune system to fight cancer. The ther-

Dr. Amin in Internal Medicine and Medical Oncology. A cancer clinical trial is a medical research study in which people participate as volunteers to test new and better methods of prevention, screening, diagnosis, or treatment of a disease. “Some cancer patients may fear that enrolling in a clinical trial means they might receive a placebo or that the treatment might have adverse effects, but the reality is that patients in clinical trials receive either the best cancer treatment currently known for their cancer, or new, and possibly more effective, therapy,” Jayne Pavlak-Schenk, DO, explains. “We offer the latest clinical trials for multiple disease states in the convenience of our office, affording our patients state-of-the-art treatment options close to their homes,” she maintains. A Toms River resident was traveling every week to a University Hospital in New York City for a clinical trial to treat her stage lV lung cancer. The next thing she knew, her Dr. switched hospitals. She thought it was the end of her clinical trial when, lo and behold, her Dr. recommended her to see Dr. Agrawal, whereby allowing her to continue on a clinical trial close to her home. Offering the latest clinical trials close to their patient’s homes, the physicians at NJHOA spare their patents the inconvenience and cost of commuting to major cities to receive

high-quality treatment. Another patient from Point Pleasant who had stage lV prostate cancer was initially treated in the Brick office with PROVENGE immunotherapy—the first and only FDA approved immunotherapy for advanced prostate cancer. He is now in a clinical trial with a tumor vaccine and feels like he is winning the battle with his cancer. With offices in Toms River and Brick, NJHOA boasts a community-based reputation that is unsurpassed. “We take great pride in offering the most compassionate oncology care for the people in our community. If somebody calls our office and tells us they just found out that they have cancer, we will try to see them as soon as possible—typically within 24 hours,” Dr. Agrawal says. “There are also times when patients sound particularly distressed. For those patients, we tell them to come in immediately.” For more information, visit their website at NJHOA.com or call their Brick office at 732-840-8880 or Toms River office at 732-2441440. The Brick office, located at 1608 Route 88, Suite 250, is open Monday-Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday. The Toms River office, located at Winding River Medical Park, 508 Lakehurst Road, Suite 1B, is open on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Our House Was Our Castle And Our Keep

Dear Joel My wife and I are both retired. I am writing because she may see this and realize that it’s her that I am referring to. Our house is filthy and disgusting. I can no longer look in the refrigerator. Our stove hasn’t been cleaned in months and the bathroom equally as dirty. Any suggestions as to how to change her? Answer: My suggestion is (as always) stop trying to change her and work on yourself. I

see nothing in your letter that makes me feel that you are incapable of doing some housework. Too often people can help situations but find it easier to blame others. Perhaps if your wife sees that you care enough to do the cleaning, she will follow suit. If my suggestion doesn’t fit, many people hire people to do the cleaning for them. If that is all that’s wrong in your home, consider yourself lucky. It’s not a heavy lift.

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

Suez North America Foundation Awards Grant To Support Environmental Education

OCEAN COU NTY – Off icials announced the SUEZ North America Foundation, the philanthropic arm of SUEZ North America, has allocated $10,000 to support environmental education programs for Boating Education and Rescue (B.E.A.R.), a nonprofit based in Ocean County. “The funds will go a long way to support our work in promoting environmental education for students,” said Mike Bennett, a founder of B.E.A.R. “As our demands on the environment increase, it’s our duty to teach our youngsters the significant impacts we have on the health of our estuaries, bays and oceans,” he added. The award is the largest the organization has received since its establishment in 2010. Since 2009, the SUEZ North America Foundation has distributed grants in excess of $4 million, supporting almost 200 projects, including Hackensack Riverkeeper, which works to protect the environmental quality of the Hackensack River and its watershed; Operation

SPLASH, a nonprofit based in Freeport, N.Y., whose volunteers spend thousands of hours each year cleaning local waterways, educating the public about the plight of the bays from Washington, D.C., to Albany, N.Y.; and The World is our Classroom, Springfield, Mass., which provides instruction in physical, earth, environmental and life sciences, technology and engineering design. “The SUEZ North American Foundation awards annual grants through a competitive application and review process and selects those organizations that demonstrate goals and missions that most closely align with SUEZ’,” said Ed Wallace, Executive Director. “B.E.A.R.’s approach to the growing challenge of protecting and sustaining life on the planet is clearly articulated through educational programs and activities aimed at preserving our natural ecosystems.” Additional information about B.E.A.R. is available at boatingeducationandrescue.com.

HHS Awards $1.6M For Health Centers’ IT Enhancements In New Jersey

LAKEWOOD – Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell announced $1,664,595 in funding for 23 health centers in New Jersey for health information technology enhancements. Among them are two Lakewood-based facilities: Lakewood Resource And Referral Center Inc. that received $69,134; and Ocean Health Initiatives Inc., that received $72,771. In total, the announcement includes $87 million in funding for 1,310 health centers in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Pacific Basin. “Health centers across the country are instrumental in providing high-quality, comprehensive primary health care to millions of people,” said Burwell. “This investment will help unlock health care data and put it to work, improving health outcomes and building a better health care system for the American people.” The funding will support health information technology enhancements to accelerate health centers’ transition to value-based models of care, improve efforts to share and use information to support better decisions, and increase engagement in delivery system transformation. To support these goals, all purchases or upgrades of electronic health record systems made with the funding must use technology that is certified by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. This is the first significant investment since 2009 directly awarded to health centers to support the purchase of health information technology.

Love Them To Life: A Support Group For Mothers Of Addicts

WHITING – Mothers are on the front lines of dealing with sons or daughters who are in addiction, but most are not equipped to know what to do or not to do. They are so accustomed to nurturing our children (even as adults) that they often end up enabling addictive behavior. They also need the love and support of other moms who are going through the same deep waters of seeing their children destroy themselves and ripping out their hearts in the process. Love Them To Life is a group designed to support, encourage, and educate mothers of addicts. The purpose of the group is to let moms know that they are not alone, to help them get healthy in their bodies, souls, and spirits, to help them understand that Jesus Christ is the only true bondage breaker, and to equip them to deal with their sons or daughters as they struggle with addiction. The curriculum covers topics such as enabling, codependency, denial, stealing, guilt, legal issues, how to recognize addictive behaviors, and many more. The group meets 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Monday nights at America’s Keswick, 601 Route 530. The curriculum is Beside Still Waters - Discovering Peace in the Midst of Your Child’s Addiction. The cost is $20. The group is facilitated by Cherri Freeman, the founder of Love Them To Life and author of Beside Still Waters. For more information, call 800-453-7942.

“These awards will allow health centers to deliver higher quality of care to patients and spend health care dollars in a smarter way,” said Jim Macrae, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Acting Administrator. Nearly 1,400 health centers operating over

9,800 sites provide care to more than 24 million people across this nation, in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Pacific Basin. Today, health centers employ nearly 190,000 people. This funding comes from the Affordable Care Act’s Community Health Center (CHC)

Fund, which was extended with bipartisan support in the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015. The increased use of health information technology is part of the administration’s efforts to build a health care system that delivers better care, smarter spending and healthier people.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of October 1-OCTOBER 7

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take your medicine even if you don’t like the taste. Someone may be right, but this might not win your affection. Keep accurate financial records this week as they may come in handy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may meet those who display kindness and warmth when you’re feeling as cold as ice. In the week to come you may find it difficult to avoid being reserved during social occasions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You could be confused by conflicting causes this week. Put a puzzling problem aside until you can get advice from a wise friend. Get caught up with a backlog of essential tasks. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You might be better off staying put than taking off. In the week ahead spend time on organization. This will help you achieve a closer rapport with family or improve your surroundings. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take it for granted that your wishes will be granted. As this week unfolds you might realize that whatever transpires, even if it slows you down, will have been in your best interests. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make it your business to be a whiz at business. There may be an opportunity to improve your income flow in the week to come or the desire to put a home based activity into motion.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You know what they say about all work and no play. In the week ahead your business instincts could sometimes be off base. Avoid buying something just because it is a good deal or on sale. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t wheel and deal with too much zeal. Hold onto every penny that you deserve to keep in the week ahead. Don’t use questionable tactics that lie in the gray area of ethical behavior. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be grateful for the talents you possess. Just because others are more successful in some areas does not diminish your gifts in others. Focus on being at your best this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A relationship may need extra rations of respect. When you have become familiar with someone it tempting to take them for granted. In the week ahead remember “please” and “thank you.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Live life logically. You may meet people in the week ahead who can illuminate your thinking processes. Focus on making some fascinating new friends and participate in group activities. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A square peg can’t fit in a round hole. You may find that you don’t quite fit into a new group. In the beginning of the week be cautious about signing contracts or listening to gossip.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Pan-Roasted Chicken Shows How Recipes Can Evolve With Time By Wolfgang Puck

It seems to me sometimes that too many people treat recipes like scientific formulas to be followed precisely. But that isn’t how I love to cook, or how I hope fans of my cookbooks or online cooking school will treat my recipes. Great recipes are living things. Most of them can be changed in an instant, based on what’s in season or good in the market, how ingredients are responding as you cook them, and whatever whim might strike you. That’s certainly how I like to cook, especially at home. And I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately while looking at my recipe for pan-roasted chicken with a sauce of port and whole-grain mustard, and seeing how it has evolved over the years. When I fi rst started making and serving this recipe more than two decades ago, it featured butterflied chicken - that is a whole bird from which the backbone was cut out before the chicken was spread out and f lattened. I browned the chicken skin-down in an ovenproof skillet, fi nished cooking it skin-up in the oven, and prepared a pan sauce with port wine, cream, two kinds of mustard, and fresh herbs. Today, however, the dish as I make it is noticeably different. First of all, I take the extra step of removing most of the bones from the chicken - a fairly simple process I describe in the recipe that follows, though you could also ask the poultry department of a good supermarket to do it for you. The result is poultry that is easier and neater to eat, which I know the guests in my restaurants prefer. As for the recipe’s popular sauce, I’ve also made significant changes. Most noticeably, I use a higher proportion of port and chicken stock, reducing them more to intensify the sauce’s overall fl avor before I add the two kinds of mustard. More importantly, I also use proportionately less cream than I used to, a reflection of the fact to health-conscious eaters everywhere are trying to cut back on the fat they consume. And, a favorite secret of mine when cooking at home, I stir into the sauce a touch of bottled barbecue sauce or Chinese hoisin sauce, which enhances the results in the same way that glace de viande (literally, “meat glaze”), a greatly concentrated veal stock, often does in classic French restaurants. All of those small changes add up to a big difference in a recipe that I hope will become one of your own standbys, as it is mine. And I hope you, like I still do, will continue to consider this and many other recipes delicious works in progress.

BONELESS PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH PORT & WHOLE-GRAIN MUSTARD SAUCE Serves 4 2 whole organic chickens, 2 1/2 to 3 pounds (1.25 to 1.5 kg) each Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 cups (500 mL) port wine 2 cups (500 mL) good-quality canned chicken stock or broth 2 tablespoons bottled tomato-based barbecue sauce or hoisin sauce 4 tablespoons heavy cream 1 heaping teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 heaping teaspoon Meaux (whole-grain) mustard 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives Starting alongside each chicken’s breastbone and following the ribcage, use a sharp knife to cut the meat away from the bones on each side; cut through the leg joints. Trim off the wings, leaving the drumettes attached. Cut out the leg bones to produce 2 boned halves from each chicken. Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Over high heat, heat the oil in a heavy ovenproof frying pan large enough to hold the chicken. Carefully add the chicken skin-down. Sear undisturbed until the skin is golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer to the oven and roast skin down until the skin is deep golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Return the pan to the stovetop, turn the chicken skin up, and sear over high heat 1 to 2 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken to a platter and keep warm. Pour off the fat from the skillet. Add the port and swirl over high heat, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon as needed, to deglaze the pan. Add the stock. Simmer briskly until reduced by about two thirds. Stir in the barbecue sauce or hoisin. Stir in the cream, bring back to a boil, and continue simmering briskly, stirring, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the mustards. Return the chicken to the pan along with any juices that have collected. Over low heat, turn the chicken to coat with the sauce and warm it brief ly. Serve with your choice of sides, garnishing the chicken with fresh herbs and the port/ mustard sauce.
