Families Celebrate Howell Day At Soldier Memorial Park

Community News!

Pages 9-10.

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – It was a great turnout as families flocked to Soldier Memorial Park on Sept. 22 for the annual Howell Day celebration. Howell residents had a beautiful day to come out and enjoy the various games, vendors, treats, and attractions the event had to offer.

Kids had tons of fun activates to choose from.

There were numerous inflatables to run, jump, and slide on, a rock climbing wall set up in the middle of the field, and even chariot races. Parents boosted their kids up into the driver’s seat of the Howell Township Public Works truck to give the horn a honk for fun. They even got the chance to sit on a Howell Police officer’s motorcycle to pose for pictures.

There was no shortage of activities for adults

Freehold Regional Block Scheduling Proved Problematic

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – With only a few weeks down in the new school year, parents were already seeing significant issues posed by the major change to block scheduling in the Freehold Regional School District high schools.

The district Board of Education held a special meeting recently to address the widespread concern that the new schedule makes lunch time virtually impossible. According to Board President Michael Messinger, “the board is well aware of the problem.”

Block scheduling has fewer, but longer, classes in a day over a seven-day rotation. Chosen for its benefits to instruction, focus, and perception, the switch took approximately three (Block - See Page 2)

Flex Space Facility To Be Built On Randolph Rd.

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Howell residents can expect to see the construction of a flex space facility at 41 Randolph Road following recent approval from the township’s planning board.

Owner 41 Randolph, LLC presented at the recent planning board meeting their application for preliminary and final site plan approval for the flex space facility, which typically refers to industrial or office space.

The building will consist of five tenant units ranging in size from 9,946 square feet to 29,687 square feet, according to the planning board. Located at Block 38, Lot 4 the space

will fit associated office areas, employee break rooms and loading areas on the site.

The original application for this project dates back to Feb. 16, 2017. The application was carried to numerous meetings until Nov. 2, 2017, when the video and audio were corrupted and the applicants were required to restart the hearing process from the beginning, according to the planning board.

During the meeting, Patrick Ward of InSite Engineering discussed how the owners have addressed concerns brought up with the application in previous (Flex - See Page 2)

either. Live music attracted dozens of people to the stage throughout the day, while dozens of vendors lined the park offering gifts, information and homemade items. Families could even gather round to witness a police K-9 demonstration.

Various township organizations set up vendor tables to engage with local residents. People could see what special programs the Monmouth County Parks have going on. The Howell Green Team was also recruiting members to add to their 9-person team.

While all this went on throughout the day, moms, dads, and kids could stop and enjoy a sweet or savory treat at one of the many food trucks selling funnel cakes, cheesesteaks, or lemonade.

The Howell Township Police and EMS presence was strong, with officers engaging with local children and even allowing them a special opportunity to see the inside of their patrol and rescue vehicles.

years of planning.

With the new scheduling, all students are required to have the same “unit lunch” period. This means, as Messinger put it, there are 2,000 students attempting to eat lunch at the same time in one cafeteria.

Parents in the district have recently taken to social media to express concern over their children eating lunch on the floor, or not being able to obtain lunch in the 35-minute period allotted.

One parent, Amy Cores, posted to the local Howell Happenings NJ Group Facebook following the board meeting.

“The parents there all voiced similar concerns: Lack of seating; lack of facilities; food being prepared hours in advance; food being stored in closets in the gym; the school having no idea where the kids are for the lunch period; safety issues (in the event of an emergency, active shooter scenario, or individual/family emergency),” stated Cores. “The response by the Super was to give it time and that he was “watching the flow.””

Super i ntendent Cha rles Sa mpson explained that the issue has only been identified in two of the district’s six high schools. “In four of the six high schools it was relatively smooth in terms of the traffic flow, the line organization,” he added.

The high schools that experienced the most difficulty with the transition were Manalapan and Freehold Tow nship.

Sampson noted that these two schools

are “sister schools,” sharing the same structure.

While the board recognized the problem parents presented, they did not seem too concerned.

“This is something we anticipated,” said Messinger.

And this is not Sampson’s first time adjusting to the quirks of a new schedule.

“As a high school principal at Cedar Grove High School and as a superintendent in other public schools before my time here…I oversaw transition to block scheduling twice and in both cases we ultimately adjusted periods of the lunch,” he said.

Major issues that Sampson identified are food service efficiency, space, and the traffic flow to the lunch room from various parts of the school.

Sampson stated that the district’s food service provider experienced some problems as they recently switched to a new interface and hired new workers, causing lunch lines to back-up and move slowly.

However, since school began, the district has worked on staggering the release of certain classes and cut off access to certain routes. “We redirected students to take different routes, which cleared up an awful lot of the traffic,” said Sampson.

Various other areas of the school have been opened up for students to offer additional seating. These include: auditoriums, large group instruction areas, and other classrooms.

“We looked at day one and saw that the way the lines were forming were not quite as efficient,” said Sampson, so the

lines have been moved and redeployed to hasten the process. “That had tremendous success.”

“We put a simple statement out to parents in the community that we are going to continue to make adjustments that will make the lunch efficient, and that over time this will work very well,” said Sampson.

Over the course of a few weeks, since the first day of school, these problems have subsided a bit. By day two, the situation was much better, said Sampson; by day three, “every student was served, every student was seated.”

While the superintendent and board agree that it was a rocky start, they also agree that block scheduling is an asset to the district that they are willing to work on, piece by piece.

Some parents have taken notice of the improvements by sharing on social media.

One post to Howell Happenings stated: “All the kids I spoke to at Howell HS said it’s much, much better now. They put more tables and chairs in the gym for additional seating AND let the classes close to the cafeteria out a few minutes earlier so they are done purchasing their food by the time the kids from the other floors get there,” she said.

Others maintain it was a bad move, stating: “This tiny improvement still isn’t acceptable by any means.”

Most concerns were brought forth by parents. Messinger noted that he has received no official response or issue from the students themselves with the change.

County Offering Influenza Vaccines At Flu Clinics

FREEHOLD – As the cooler months approach, it’s time for Monmouth County residents to protect themselves against the influenza by getting vaccines.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released their immunization recommendations for the 2018-2019 influenza season, highlighting the importance of continuing flu vaccination through the holiday season and beyond. The flu can be a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death, and the CDC recommends that everyone six months and older be vaccinated against the flu annually.

“Peak influenza season will be here very soon,” said Freeholder Patrick Impreveduto, liaison to the Monmouth County Health Department. “It’s important that residents be vigilant in protecting themselves and reducing the spread of the flu and many other illnesses.”

The Monmouth County Health Department will hold Flu Clinics in preparation for influenza season inn member municipalities

throughout September and October: • October 3, 11:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m., Colts Neck Inn, 191 County Road 537 • October 5, 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., Marlboro Recreation Center, 1996 Recreation Way • October 17, 9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., Colts Neck Court House, 124 Cedar Drive • October 22, 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m., Howell Senior Center, 251 Preventorium Road, Howell residents ONLY • October 23, 9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., The Villages (Club House),100 Dag Hammarskjold Blvd. Howell residents ONLY • October 24, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., Neptune Senior Center, 1607 State Road 33 For updates on the schedule, please visit the Monmouth County Health Department’s event calendar. Flu shots will be available for anyone 36 months of age and older. The flu vaccine is covered by Medicare part B with proof of insurance. If you are not covered by Medicare, the cost of the flu vaccine is $25.

Influenza symptoms include cough, sore throat, headache, muscle pain, chills and

fatigue. A fever may or may not be a symptom of the flu. According to the CDC, most people with the flu have mild illness and do not need medical care or antiviral drugs. If, however, you have symptoms of flu and are in a high risk group, or are very sick or worried about your illness, contact your health care provider. For information about high risk groups, visit the CDC website at cdc.gov.

Please note for the 2018-2019 season, the CDC recommends use of the flu shot (inactivated influenza vaccine or IIV), the recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV), or the nasal spray flu vaccine (live attenuated influenza vaccine or LAIV). This is an interim recommendation that applies to the 2018-2019 season only.

The Monmouth County Health Department recommends that all residents avoid close contact with people who are sick. If you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick, too, and stay home when you are sick. Most importantly, wash your hands to protect yourself from germs and cover your mouth and nose

when you cough or sneeze.

Monmouth County Officials Warn Residents Of Medicare Scams

FREEHOLD – As the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issues new Medicare cards with unique identification numbers to all beneficiaries, Monmouth County officials remind residents that they should be wary of fraud schemes launched by scammers.

“These scammers have changed tactics now that social security numbers are no longer on Medicare Cards,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the Monmouth County Division of Consumer Affairs.

“We want to make sure residents are informed about these schemes to prevent falling prey to them and having to deal with identity theft or worse.”

Common Scams: • Callers pretend to be Medicare representatives asking for a processing fee or other immediate credit card payment before a new card is issued. The cards are free of charge and are being mailed automatically to all beneficiaries.

• Callers claiming to be from Medicare are asking beneficiaries to purchase a temporary card. Temporary cards are not being mailed out by Medicare and there is no cost.

• Beneficiaries are asked to verify Social Security number, address or other personal information before a new card is sent.

Medicare will not call beneficiaries to ask for personal data.

• Caller says there is a problem with your new Medicare card, such as the card being lost or someone else has tried to use it. They ask for personal information or payment for a new card. CMS began mailing out new cards in April 2018 and the process is expected to continue until April 2019. You can review which states are currently receiving new cards at medicare.gov/newcard.

Some scammers are asking beneficiaries to mail in their old Medicare Card. Do not send your card to anyone. As soon as you receive your new card, destroy the old one.

If someone asks you for your personal information, for money or threatens to cancel your health benefits if you don’t share your personal information, hang up and call Medicare directly at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).

If you suspect identity theft or feel like you gave your personal information to someone you shouldn’t have, call or visit online the Federal Trade Commission 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877382-4357).

The Monmouth County Division of Consumer Affairs can provide assistance as well. Contact the office at 732-431-7900 or email consumeraffairs@co.monmouth.nj.us. More information can be found at visitmonmouth.com.

The funding is a part of t he EPA’s Reg ion al Wetlands Program Development Grants.

One grant totaling $185,237 is for “Coastal Wetland Impacts and Ser vices in NJ Coastal Communities,” and is to “examine the relationship of nutrients and tidal wet-

Another grant for $25,000 is for “Evaluating Coastal Marsh Restoration Performance,” and is for the recipient to “develop a method to collect data on the condition of wetlands at marsh restoration sites

to evaluate progress in restor at ion project s i n coastal wetlands in New Jersey. The recipient will evaluate restoration progress relative to ongoing t id a l m a r s h c o n d it io n assessments being conducted in similar tidal marshes in New Jersey and will use these data to improve its restoration programs and practices to improve wetland restoration success.”

T han ks to the Board, today we took another enor mous s t e p t ow a r d r e a l i z i n g that goal with the largest single-state solicitation of offshore wind in the country.”

The Board’s action will allow developers seeking to build offshore wind facilities in federal waters to submit applications for approval. The application window began on Sept.

Board intends to act on the applications by July 1, 2019, wh ich shou ld provide suff icient time for developers to qualify for federal investment tax credits that expire at the end of next year. These credits could save New Jersey ratepayers approximately 12 percent of the total project cost.

The NJBPU will issue a Guidance Document as part of the release of the Board Order that helps developers calculate net economic benef its. The Guidance Document also provides the formats to be used for submittal of the information required under the Offshore Wind

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E ditorial Is Your Child Having Trouble Communicating?

In all the excitement of Back to School, there is often a critical piece missing in the planning.

If a young child appears to have delays in speech or language, parents need to act quickly. New Jersey Speech-La ng u age -He a r i ng A s s o c i a t io n ( NJSH A) members recommend children, even those entering preschool, be checked by a professional before entering school if they have diff iculty with speech, language, or hearing.

This is especially true for children who, when compared to their peers, have difficulty hearing what is said, do not speak, or have unintelligible speech.

Regrettably, a national poll by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) indicated nearly 70 percent of audiologists (i.e., hearing professionals) and speech-language pathologists believe many parents do not know the early warning signs of com mu nication dis-

orders. Consequently, they are unaware of the benefits of early t reat ment. To lea r n more about expected speech-language and hearing skills between the ages of 0-8 years see: njsha.org/resources/media/bhs-month. php When a child has a communication disorder – a very common disability – he/she can languish for months in the classroom before getting help. Certainly no one wants children to suffer from learning problems, especially if they can be avoided with early diagnosis and treatment.

Check with your school district and/or speech and hearing professionals in your community to learn what services are available. Ensure that your child does not miss a critical developmental window and place him/her on a successful educational path this year.

Letters To The Editor Coastal Storm Research Has Problems On Thursday, September 13, 2018 I attended the meeting at Ocean County College regarding the back bay Coastal Storm Management. I would like to express my concerns regarding their current research.

First, their research on the beach and dune replenishments is majorly flawed. Weeks Construction/Dredging spends months pumping sand onto the beach and three nor’easters later the beach is gone (between January and April). So, they pumped more money into the project only to watch the ocean take back what it wants. There appears to be no attention paid to current flows or ways to stop the sand movement northward.

One might look at the south jetties of Manasquan and Shark River to see how the south jetties have built the beaches. I have seen the sand continue to fill that area into the inlets. Now, I am hearing they are looking to find sand to fill the holes that were created in the ocean floor and are thinking to use dredge spoils from the bay. Can’t wait to see the law suits from the environmentalists!

I am in favor of tidal doors at Manasquan, Shark River and Barnegat Inlets. I feel very strongly that this will stop the back-bay flooding by limiting the amount of water entering the rivers and being held in by the storm surges. However, one must consider these facts: 1. The flow of water down the rivers from the land behind the doors. Rotterdam had this problem. The North Sea storms didn’t get them; it was the backed-up river water. Pumps would have to be installed to remove river/rainwater flow out from behind the doors.

2. Speaking of flow, by placing the design presented at the meeting you are going to create an increase in water flow in the inlets on incoming and outgoing tides in the area of the piers. Restricting the flow of water volume through the inlet would increase the hazard of transit. Another point of proof to look at is the history of the Route 88 Bridge in the Pt. Pleasant Canal. There with an

Letters The to my Editor letter about the actions during his candidacy 8-knot current on manyTo days. riposte A three- to four-foot hydraulic step was created at the peak of tide change. Then added to this was the erosion of the piers by the current. Engineers dumped rock around the piers to protect the bridge from collapsing and created a larger transiting problem from the current. Today, it is an easy passage with the piers removed. The last question I have is how would a boat get in or out of the inlet looking for a safe harbor during the storm or the Coast Guard responding to a Mayday call?

It may help very little but it needs to be done: the dredging of the bay channels. I don’t believe it would change the water levels much, because water will seek its own level. In the bay but it would help in the flow of the water and navigation.

Storm pumps should be considered rather than the Perimeter Wall Plans. With the gates you would just have to remove the rain water runoff from the bay. The bay water level is affected more by wind than much else in my experience of working the bay for over 44 years.

Perimeter Wall plans have two drawbacks in my opinion.

1. They are made from concrete. Concrete does not hold up well to salt water, ice and the cold. They will crack allowing water in those cracks which will freeze then chip.

2. These walls have been known to break! (i.e. New Orleans) I can’t see the people living by the Manasquan and Brielle by the Inlet allowing a wall behind their multi-million dollar homes. Just think the legal issues/suits that the waterfront owners would bring against the project (i.e. beach replenishments, what was the cost for attorneys for that?)

Debate About Trump Continues With Civility I intended to write directly to Steven J. Baeli - the erudite author of the extraordinary

impeachability of Donald Trump, but my Google search was inconclusive. Therefore, I rely on The Brick Times to relay to him both my respect and my reservations. In an age of vulgarity, I appreciate his being a gentleman. In an age of ignorance, I’m grateful for his fine writing and thoughtful, if partisan, scholarship.

Indeed, I’ve learned from his knowledge of Constitutional norms. Neither a lawyer nor a political scientist, I’m at a disadvantage in a discussion of this sort. I read and attempt to interpret the raw documents (the Declaration of Independence; the Constitution and Bill of Rights, etc.) along with available supplementary commentary. If to a professional it seems I’ve been skimming the surface, it’s what ordinary citizens are forced to do frequently.

Incidentally, that inadvertently - denigrated “Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language” is actually a patriotic book in the sense that it contains the Declaration of Independence; the Constitution of the United States; all presidents and vice presidents…through its publication date of 2001. I refer to the founding documents frequently and additionally to Smithsonian Presidents, so it ought not to be assumed that a person without a law degree or related credentials is incapable of comprehending the English language. And those recommended civics classes are no match for what is happening on the political scene of today!

My other reservation pertains to that typical default argument of partisans I necessarily oppose, that is, accusing Obama of the very offenses the present president commits on a daily basis. My observations have to do with the sitting president of 2018. If Mr. Baeli had issues about Obama’s being a traitor as he alleges, I should hope he voiced them at the time; and voiced them as vociferously as I shall continue to voice my claims against Donald Trump.

We’re talking now about the Presidency of Donald Trump, a man toying with autocracy.

If I have missed any admirable

and presidency, or reasons I should not be concerned about an overthrow of Constitutional Law, I encourage Mr. Baeli to enumerate instances in a future article.

I thank him in advance.

The War Of Words Claims Us As Victims Does it take a war to separate the men from the boys and the women from the girls? Does it take a war that produced the legendary journalist, Walter Cronkite, of yesteryear? Does it take the war that produced the courageous journalists, Martha Radditz and Geraldo Rivera, of our time? And yet we are at war. It is a war-of-words against the President of the USA. For the MSNBC pundit to say “President Trump is worse than 9/11, which brought people together,” is ludicrous.

And why did a New York tabloid give first-page prominence to referring to the President’s daughter as “ghoul” because it rhymes with “girl?” Not to worry, this tabloid had to dismiss more than two-thirds of its workforce to restructure and stay alive.

This war-of-words needs to cease; it entertains evil. The world is watching as the media, Democrats and thespians make a fool of themselves, while taking the American people along with them.

The president’s personality and his past dalliances do not interest me. He has promised to get things done. New presidents have come and gone promising billions to this-and-that purpose and still nothing improves. How about infrastructure? Roads here are horrendous. Even President Obama giggled when he said: “there were no shovel-readyjobs.” He should apologize. It would be refreshing if New Jerseyans voted for a Republican Senator this November, for once in our lifetime, and help get things done.

Monmouth Medical Center Retail Pharmacy Offers Safe Rx Prescription Bottles LONG BR ANCH – To further our commitment to addressing the crisis of substance abuse, Monmouth Medical Center, an RWJBarnabas Health facility, is partnering with Safe Rx® to offer locking prescription bottles to consumers for opioid and other habit-forming medications at its retail pharmacy. The locking vials are available at no additional cost to the customer upon request for qualifying prescriptions.

Safe Rx Locking Prescription Vials ( LPVsT M ) a re presc r ipt ion bot tles with bike-lock like caps that are both certified child-resistant and certified senior-friendly. The Safe Rx bottles are locked utilizing a four-digit PIN code.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), approximately 21.5 million Americans, ages 12 and older, are classified with a substance use disorder annually. It is reported that eighty percent of heroin users start with a prescription opioid and 90 percent of abusers start in their teen years, with the majority taking drugs from a family medicine cabinet.

The Safe Rx bottles help prevent medications from being accidentally ingested and/or taken by someone other than the prescribed user.

“The ongoing opioid crisis is one that must be proactively addressed from multiple angles and RWJBarnabas Health continues to shine a light on the growing public health issue of opioid addiction, in terms of education, awareness, preven-

tion and recovery,” said Robert T. Adamson, PharmD, FASHP, Chief Pharmacy Officer, RWJBarnabas Health. “Our partnership with Safe Rx allows us to educate patients and community members on the dangers of certain medications while also preventing dangerous and highly-addictive prescription pills from falling into the wrong hands.”

State: Condo Association Discriminated Against Resident With Allergies

By Jennifer Peacock TRENTON – A condominium association must pay a resident $12,500 for discriminating against her regarding her medically verified allergies, the New Jersey State Attorney General’s Office said.

The woman, referred to only as K.L. in court documents, had asked Twin Lights Condominiums in Highlands to remove carpet from her second-floor, one-bedroom condo and install hardwood floors. The woman’s physician confirmed she suffers from food and chemical allergies, and removing the carpet for hardwood would alleviate symptoms.

The condominiums Board of Governors denied her request, even though the Board of Governor’s president acknowledged in writing that the resident has a “legitimate medical issue.”

K.L. made her request in October 2016. Not only did she provide a letter from her physician, but a letter from her downstairs neighbor saying she had no objections to the flooring change.

The condo association denied the request, citing its rule that hardwood flooring is not permitted in one-bedroom units. The association said removing the carpet would eliminate its sound-deadening buffer.

“Under New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination (LAD), condominium and homeowner associations cannot simply dig in their heels and refuse to bend or grant rule exemptions when approached for an accommodation by residents who have legitimate, medically-documented needs such as mobility issues, the need for a service dog or, as was the case in this instance, a significant allergic condition,” Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said.

“This case should serve as a reminder to condominium and homeowner associations across the state that the LAD was created to protect the rights of people with disabilities,” Grewal said.

“We are committed to upholding those rights, and any condominium association, co-op, homeowners’ association or individual landlord who violates those rights will be held accountable.”

Twin Lights must allow the woman to install the hardwood flooring, although they can require her to use a sound-deadening underlay. They must also report to the Division on Civil Rights quarterly for the next year, which must include how many requests for disability-related “reasonable accommodations” it receives, and how many of those are received at the association’s expense.

They must also report how each request was handled.

The association is also subject to a $5,000 suspended statutory penalty for violating the state’s Law Against Discrimination (LAD). If the association complies with the full terms of the settlement, and has no other resident complaints filed against it that result in a finding of probable cause by the Division, that penalty will be vacated.

“An accommodation is not ‘reasonable,’ and therefore not required, if it would impose undue financial and administrative burdens on the landlord, or if the requested accommodation would fundamentally alter the nature of the landlord’s operation,” Division on Civil Rights Director Craig T. Sashihara wrote in his finding of probable cause.

The condo owner, K.L., was not asking the association to pay for the materials or labor, or to oversee the installation of the new flooring, Sashihara noted.

“Sashihara wrote that the notion that Twin Lights’ denial was simply intended to protect the downstairs neighbor was ‘undercut’ by the fact that before reaching that decision, the Board members were provided with a letter from the downstairs neighbor stating that she’d performed a ‘sound test’ and concluded that, if anything, ‘the carpeted portions were more pronounced with sound than the hardwood,’” the Attorney General’s Office stated in its Sept. 19 press release.

Deputy Attorney General Beverley Lapsley and Division on Civil Rights Investigator Darren Bloom handled the Twin Lights matter on behalf of the State.

Leaky Gut – What Is It? Do I Have It?

By Emma Stafford, RN, APN-C, ACHPN, APHN, Integrative Nurse Practitioner Hippocrates is quoted as saying, “all disease starts in the gut.”

How right he was! Getting your gut healthy is one of the most important things you can do for your health; in fact it is the gateway to our health.

Your gut wall is home to 70% of our im mu ne system. T he g ut’s pr imar y function is to protect your body from unhealthy and harmful toxins, which f low t h roug h you r i nt e st i ne, f rom reaching your blood cells.

Foods go f rom your stomach into

you r small intestine where there is a membrane that allows nutrients to pass through into your bloodstream.

Think of this membrane as cheesecloth.

However, sometimes this barrier gets compromised by ‘toxins’ such as antibiotics, NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen), stress, infections, dysbiosis (imbalance of good and bad bacteria in gut), unhealthy diet, and environmental toxins. This causes the ‘cheesecloth’ to develop microscopic holes. Now instead of only nutrients getting through, undigested food particles are leaking through from the small intestine into the bloodstream. Thus, the term ‘leaky

gut’.

T h is loss of i nteg r it y may go on to cause inf lam mation and ch ronic disease may develop such as Inf lammat or y Bowel Disease, (Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease) or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) gas, bloating, constipation are most common. Other people experience systemic symptoms, such as, depression, anxiety migraine headaches, chronic fatigue, and brain fog. Others are diagnosed with autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s thyroid, and Type 1 diabetes.

The good news is you can heal your gut

by removing the ‘toxins’, whatever that is for you and replacing it with a gut healing protocol. Talking with a functional practitioner and nutritionist are good first steps to begin the healing process.

T his may include eating organic, adding more diverse and colorful fruits and vegetables, removing foods that may be causing inf lammation, such as gluten and dairy. Practicing meditation and exercise are also important part of healing. Healing the gut is about healing the whole person - mind, body, spirit.

Physical Therapy For The Pediatric Population By: Erin Sullivan, DPT, Freehold Physical Therapist & Facility Manager

Physical Therapy is not just for adults, children can also benefit from treatment.

HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP MY CHILD?

system. It is possible that children may be over sensitive or under sensitive to sensory input, and it is important that their treatment be focused regarding their specific needs.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Orthopedics Range of motion and flexibility differ from that of an adult so special considerations should be kept in mind when treating the pediatric population. When a child experiences an injury, treatment may vary considerably versus an adult, particularly in the event of growth plate involvement. These Injuries, and the natural growth and development of a child can significantly impact their ability to reach motor milestones. Growth spurts may also impact how and/or when they evolve their gross motor skills.

• Meeting Motor Milestones Children may have difficulty reaching their motor mile stones for a number of reasons. These milestones act as stepping stones for a child to progress towards more complex, functional activities. If children are delayed in reaching these milestones, they may also have difficulty participating in school-based, recreational, or age specific activities.

• Sensory Processing Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, or other conditions which impact sensory processing, can also benefit from skilled physical therapy services. A child’s perception of sensory input may impact their functional and gross motor ability as well as their behavior.

These senses include sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, vestibular (balance), and what is known as proprioceptive or the perception of one’s own body, detected by the nervous

A licensed physical therapist will take a detailed history from you and your child regarding current or ongoing complaints. Your therapist will then complete a thorough evaluation, often through observation as well as objective measurements to determine whether your child is performing at an age appropriate level.

Measures of joint range of motion, flexibility, and strength will also be assessed as part of the evaluation. The therapist will then discuss their findings with you and make recommendations regarding their plan of care. Your child may attend therapy sessions anywhere from once a week to three times per week depending on the outcome of your child’s evaluation.

Treatment will be specific for each individual child and will be focused on age-appropriate, childdriven activities with integrated therapeutic play to address the child’s goals.

WHERE CAN I FIND PEDIATRIC PHYSICAL THERAPY?

Pediatric physical therapy is available in a number of different settings. Children with developmental delays from infancy up to three years of age, in New Jersey, may be eligible for a federally funded program called Early Intervention. Schoolbased physical therapy is also available in some cases and focuses on the child’s

ability to access and participate in the school setting.

Medical-model physical therapy is available in the hospital-based, home-based or outpatient setting, like All Care Physical Therapy Center. Medicalmodel physical therapy will address a child’s global needs including the ability to participate in the home or community (due to injury or gross motor delays).

Many children may benefit from physical therapy on an outpatient basis, in addition to receiving school based therapy services. Parents are encouraged to discuss any concerns and treatment options with your child’s pediatrician or physician.

6 Powerful Benefits Of Papaya Enzyme

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I’m sure you’ve heard of those delicious orange fruits called papayas! Papayas themselves have all kinds of health benefits. For one, they are extremely fiber-rich.

Also, the antioxidant content is extraordinarily high and fantastic to help with the maintenance of healthy cholesterol levels and atherosclerosis (the build-up of plaque in the arteries).

Let’s focus on papain, the highly beneficial compound found in the leaves and fruit of the papaya. Papain is an enzyme which means it helps drive reactions in your body. For example, if you eat a hamburger, protease enzymes are secreted during digestion that help break down the meat, turning it into smaller protein molecules called amino acids. Enzymes that break down proteins are termed “proteolytic” enzymes. Papain, is also a proteolytic enzyme and it’s commonly found in meat tenderizer. Here are five other powerful benefits of papaya and papain: Heal Your Skin and Wounds: Papaya fruit and leaf can both be applied to minor burns and wounds to speed up the healing process. We use a lot of triple antibiotic ointment in the United States, however, where drugs are not heavily promoted or allowed, families use natural remedies. As an example, in Latin America, Hawaii, and Tahiti, papain leaves are used commonly for burns. There are certain gels sold commercially.

Address Sinus & Breathing Problems: Papain can thin mucus, specifically by diluting sinus mucin, a glycoprotein found in mucus. In this way, papain could be great for helping you with chronic sinus

infections.

Reduce Bloating and Diarrhea: In a case study, a male patient with gluten intolerance added papain once daily, every day, for one month (while eating a gluten-free diet) and experienced better digestion, as well as improved stools, dramatically less diarrhea, and an obvious decrease in bloat.

Improve Antioxidant Capabilities: Papain contains compounds that make it a potent antioxidant, helping to protect your body from cellular damage caused by free radicals. Papain, in fact, is an antioxidant on par with strong antioxidant vitamins like vitamins C and E. Fight Cancer: The specific action papain has on cancer cells is by dissolving the thick protein coating around the cancer cell called fibrin. Other studies suggests that papaya juice has anti-proliferative effects which means it might slow metastasis. Finally, it can induce apoptosis which essentially, makes cancer cells run and hide.

Papaya is obviously loaded with medicinal benefits. I recommend it so long as you’re not allergic to it, to its skin or to the pineapple enzyme called bromelain (there’s a cross-sensitivity).

It’s easy to incorporate papaya and papain into your life. Supplements are widely available too. Supplementation might be a good idea if are supported on acid blocking drugs or PPI ulcer and reflux medications. If you sign up for my free newsletter at my website, suzycohen.com I will send you a longer version of this article, and explain more about this. I’ll also share my recipes, a papaya tea recipe and more medical information.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Put That Pep Back In Your Step

Dear Joel, I’m 69 years young and hate to admit this but I’ve lost the pep in my step. I’m just not enthusiastic about anything. Do you have any advice on how I can hit the reset button on my life?

Answer: Well the first thing to check is your physical and mental health. If everything checks out fine, then you have push that reset button with all you’ve got. When we’re young, we have to try new things all the time, but when you get older it’s easy to get so comfortable with your experiences that you stop learning.

Force yourself to try a new store or take a new way home. The world is full of people and places to get your motor

running. If you are not a joiner, you can start by watching YouTube and the internet. We all have something that gets our attention. I always smile when I see those guys who paint their faces at sporting events. I can’t remember a time that I was ever that into a team, but I still like to watch the game. That’s the thing with getting older; you may not have that youthful enthusiasm, but you make up for it with real appreciation.

Annual Tavernfest Kicks Off MCHA 120th Anniversary

FREEHOLD – Sometimes the stars just align. On October 12, 2018, exactly 120 years since the founding of the Monmouth County Historical Association, the Annual Tavernfest will kick off a year-long celebration of the organization’s milestone anniversary. The 18th century Allen House Tavern Museum will welcome guests for a 21st century evening of music, food and merriment.

“We could not ask for a better convergence of traditions,” said MCHA Board of Trustees President Linda Bricker. “On October 12, 1898, the MCHA was formed to preserve and share the rich history of Monmouth County.

What better way to launch our salute to this vision than to welcome friends and supporters to this popular evening of modern day fun at the oldest surviving tavern in the county.”

A gathering place for hearing the latest news and sharing fun with friends and neighbors for over 300 years, the Allen House will once again throw open its doors to host Tavernfest. Autumn revelers will be greeted by costumed interpreters and stroll through and explore the restored tavern while enjoying the Colonial era music of Tom and Maryanne Tucker. Once in the main tent, partygoers can enjoy a buffet dinner by Local Smoke BBQ and toast the MCHA anniversary with a variety of spirits including local craft ale from Carton Brewing, wine from Rumson Wine & Spirits and the signature libation from historic Laird’s Distillery. The Sam Sims Band will keep the party rocking under a harvest moon.

The evening will also feature both a silent and live auction spotlighting a variety of fun and unique items including experience packages with tickets to performances and sporting events, a variety of restaurant outings as well as opportunities to host catered private parties or dinners in MCHA houses, including the Covenhoven party with a colonial meal for 6 cooked over the hearth and the Taylor-Butler Holiday House Party with the historic Victorian gem decorated for the season.

“Tavernfest has become a favorite autumn tradition not only for Monmouth County residents but friends from the whole tri-state area,” said event co-chair Sandy Mulheren. “We are so excited that we have the opportunity to be the first to toast this momentous year for the MCHA

at a location that has witnessed so much of the area’s history.”

Fellow co-chair Jesse Spector added, “Along with an evening of fun, delicious food and great music, Tavernfest also provides the opportunity to showcase one of the five wonderful MCHA historic homes and hopefully increase knowledge and support for the important mission of the

Association.”

Tavernfest will take place on Friday October 12 from 7-10 p.m. at the Tavern Museum at Allen House (c.1710), Historic Four Corners, 400 Sycamore Ave. Shrewsbury, NJ. Tickets start at $85 each. Additional underwriting, sponsorship and advertising opportunities, including joining supporters on a month-long 120th Anniversary Building

Banner, are available.

All proceeds from Tavernfest will fund the work of MCHA to celebrate the history of Monmouth County for all through the historic houses, museum, research library & archives, and educational programing initiatives. To purchase tickets and for more information go to monmouthhistory.org or call 732-462-1466 ext.11.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Michael J. Deem, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself.

Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment.

When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy.

We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy.

The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets.

We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/they are injured.

The Standard Policy Michael J. Deem does provide medical expense benefits (PIP) coverage which i ncludes medical expenses up to $250,000.00 per person per accident.

The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses.

When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim.

You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.”

By choosing the “ limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing.

Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets.

Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates (732-505-1212) for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

The Cove at Howell Meets The Needs of 55+ Buyers

HOWELL – Monmouth County, the northernmost county of the Jersey Shore boasts many things…great shopping and dining, unprecedented recreation, over 50 miles of picturesque ocean and bay beaches, sprawling parks and exceptional coastal culture.

But the one thing that Monmouth County has lacked was affordable home opportunities specifically for age restricted homebuyers so that they too could enjoy all of the things that this highly sought-aft e r c ou nt y h a s to offer. That all changed last year, when The Cove at Howell opened its doors.

T he C ove at Howell, an age-restricted, affordable condominium community in the Farmingdale section of Howell, has seen great success after filling a need that Monmouth County has so anxiously been waiting for.

“We attribute this success to the competitively priced condominium product that we are offering to the age-restricted, affordable homebuyer, as well as the local partnerships we have created with those who believe in our vision as much as we do,” said Michael Skea, Director of Marketing for The Cove at Howell.

Maureen Raftery-Bost, a Real Estate Agent with Weichert Realtors who works closely with The Cove at Howell, said this community is exactly what her buyers have been searching for. Raftery-Bost works specifically with buyers and sellers in Howell and the surrounding areas.

“I have a client who is a disabled veteran of the US Army,” said Raftery-Bost.

“This client is currently living in an affordable home in New Jersey in a second-f loor walk-up condo. My client has been on the search for a new home t hat h ig h l ig ht s si ngle -level l iv i ng.

When The Cove at Howell opened up, it seemed like the perfect solution to his challenges. The spacious open f loor plan on ground level was exactly what he was looking for. Everything is brand new and clearly the answer to his needs.

I look forward to closing the deal and getting him into this nicely finished affordable home.”

Josette McClaren, a Sales Representative with Weichert Realtors, said The Cove is an excellent and affordable community for the 55 plus buyer. “My clients that have purchased at The Cove at Howell have been extremely happy with their decision.”

Brent Andrews, Real Estate Agent for Weichert Realtors in Howell, also sold a home at the community to one of his active adult buyers earlier this summer.

“I have a disabled client who was able to purchase a two-bedroom, onebath unit based on his social security

income,” Andrews said. “The location is excellent, and both the complex and homes are well designed – perfect for a single person or a family of two. The Cove at Howell really is a hidden gem… it’s not well known in our community of Howell Township, but it definitely needs to be.”

The community offers new, affordable condos available for i m me d iat e o c c u p a n c y. A limited number of homes re m a i n . A f fo r d a ble t wo - b e d room condos are available f rom $117, 5 8 8 t o $168,50 0. Si ngle buyers must have a n a n nual i ncome that does not exceed $51,864. Couples must have an annual income that does not exceed $59,273. Competitive financing rates are available for qualified buyers.

Eligible down payments can be as low as five percent without PMI insurance.

Real estate taxes are less than $4,000 per year. The monthly HOA fee is only $111.

For those looking to downsize without the need of a mortgage, your total monthly payment can be less than $500 per month. “This is an incredible relief to our active adults who want to retire but are worried about the cost of living in Monmouth County,” said Skea.

Those interested are invited to tour The Cove at Howell’s new Community Room, as well as its one- and two-bedroom furnished models, which highlight open living areas with a kitchen, living room and dining room.

“These homes have been constructed with ver y appealing f inishes and desig ner touches,” said Skea. “Ou r goal is to offer the active adult market state-of-the-art living options that are suited to their needs and desires at the best pricing available.”

Conveniently located off Route 33 in Monmouth County, The Cove at Howell is in close proximity to Routes 34 and 9, the Garden State Parkway, Jersey Shore Premium Outlets, Shark River Golf Course, Allaire State Park, Jersey Shore University Medical Center and the beautif ul beaches of the Jersey Shore.

The model homes at The Cove at Howell are located at 701 and 703 East Florence Circle in Howell Township, NJ (GPS 100 East Torino – directly off Route 33 East at Colts Neck Road).

To learn more about the community, please visit TheCoveAtHowell.com or call the weekend on-site sales representative, Thomas Palumbo, at 732-921-9660 to schedule an appointment to tour the model homes.

Parents: Be Vigilant About What’s On Your Child’s Devices

By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – Attorney General Gurbir Grewal is urging parents to check what’s on their children’s phones and educate them about the dangers social media can pose.

With the recent sting operation that arrested 24 New Jersey men for luring unsuspecting minors through social media, Grewal is emphasizing the need for vigilance on this new “cyber playground.”

Whereas child predators may have once lured kids off the playground or out of shopping malls, “now they also lurk at social media, where they utilize the anonymity of the internet to target the same vulnerable children,” said Grewal.

Predators can disguise themselves as age appropriate, and some kids may not be aware of whom they are really talking to online.

“We want child predators to know that we’re on social media, too, and that the next child that they may target may be an

undercover officer with handcuffs,” said Grewal.

The Office of the Attorney General and local law enforcement stated that they are determined to keep children safe and put a stop to predatory behavior; but they also need help from parents. “Just as you are vigilant about a stranger approaching your child in a park, you need to be equally if not more vigilant about the danger lurking in these new cyber playgrounds,” Grewal explained, noting that parents should be aware of the apps and technology that are out there, and what their kids may be up to.

“Talk to your children about social media,” he said. “Let them know that the people they encounter may not be who they initially seem to be, and warn them not to share personal information or pictures with strangers they encounter on the internet.”

Officials stated that some apps make it easy for people to communicate anonymously, thus making it easy to target children.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 29 - OCT 5

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Focus on kindness and generosity. Some people you deal with in the week ahead may be cranky or cantankerous. If you are ethical no one will be able to harm your reputation by spreading gossip and innuendo.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): During the week ahead, you may learn a new skill or become fascinated by a subject that improves your life in some important way. Work conditions may seem restrictive or intolerable if you ignore the rules.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you focus too closely on the minute details you might miss the big picture. You will be able to break away from a rigid mindset after the middle of the week. Then you can easily embrace an onthe-job learning opportunity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Watching the world from an ivory tower won’t put the money in the bank. You must work hard and employ a realistic attitude to reach the top of the ladder.

Don’t become discouraged by criticisms in the week ahead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Understanding the facts may be more important than the facts themselves. A piece of news could persuade you to make a fateful change that could affect your financial situation. Remain cautious early in the week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the week to come you may worry about paying your bills or taking care of possessions. Fix whatever breaks and fulfil your obligations but don’t volunteer

to take on any additional duties or financial commitments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Steer clear of family feuds. Don’t let home grown prejudices or pride blind you to the truth. In the week ahead, you might be forced to follow through on your promises but receive little recognition for your efforts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Reverse the polarity. The upcoming week might teach you that happiness is just as contagious as negativity. Avoid starting anything of importance until the end of the week when conditions are more favorable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Meet challenges with composure. You may be surprised to find you excel at activities you never dared to try before. You may be miserly about pennies now but can spend more freely by the end of the week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Buck up and suck it up. The first few days of the week may be filled with minor challenges and crises of conscience. Stay on top of deadlines but don’t take on more responsibilities than you can safely handle.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stay focused on straddling the middle ground where you can be both sociable and businesslike as this week plays out. Since you may be thrown in contact with others who expect the best try to look your best.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Play now, pay later. You might have more interest in social activities than in work, but don’t ignore obligations.

Schedule important financial decisions and crucial business appointments for the last half of the week.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen As Autumn Approaches, Start Planning Your First Batch Of Seasonal Fruit Fritters

By Wolfgang Puck SPICED APPLE FRITTERS Serves 6 to 8 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon Pinch freshly grated nutmeg Pinch ground allspice Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 1 large egg 1 cup (250 mL) buttermilk 2 pounds (1 kg) red or golden delicious apples 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice Peanut oil or vegetable oil, for deep-frying Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting Caramel sauce (optional, recipe follows) Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and dashes of salt and white pepper into a medium mixing bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.

While stirring the flour mixture continuously with the whisk, gradually add the wet ingredients, whisking until smooth. Cover loosely and set aside at cool room temperature for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel and core the apples. Slice, stack and cut them into matchsticks about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick and 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) long. Put the sticks in a bowl and toss with just enough lemon juice to coat lightly and prevent them from turning brown.

Heat about 3 inches (7.5 cm) of oil in an automatic deep-fryer or a heavy pot on the stove to 365 F (185 C). Place a platter covered in a double thickness of paper towels nearby.

With a tablespoon, scoop up a heaping spoonful of the matchsticks, draining off any liquid, and place in the batter, turning gently to coat thoroughly. With the tablespoon, scoop up the spoonful of coated matchsticks and then use another spoon to carefully ease the spoonful into the hot oil. Repeat quickly with

more matchstick spoonfuls, taking care not to overcrowd the oil. Fry, gently turning as needed with a wire skimmer, until deep golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the paper towels and repeat with remaining batches.

To serve, transfer the fritters to a clean, warmed platter and dust lightly with confectioners’ sugar. Spoon caramel sauce into individual ramekins on dessert plates, and pass the fritters for dipping.

CARAMEL SAUCE Makes about 2 cups (500 mL) 2 cups (500 mL) granulated sugar 1/2 cup (125 mL) water 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) heavy cream 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Spread the sugar evenly in a deep, heavy, large saucepan.

Pour the water evenly over the sugar. Over medium-high heat, cook without stirring, tilting the pan gently once or twice to insure that all the sugar dissolves, until the syrup starts bubbling, about 3 minutes.

Cook at a vigorous boil, watching attentively, until the syrup just begins turning a golden color, 5 to 6 minutes. Gently move the pan from side to side, without stirring, so the syrup continues to color evenly. Reduce the heat to medium.

Continue cooking the syrup, reducing the heat slightly, until it turns very dark amber, gives off slight wisps of smoke, and smells almost burnt, 1 to 2 minutes longer.

Carefully but quickly pour in the cream to stop the cooking.

The caramel will bubble up vigorously, so keep your hands well clear. Immediately reduce the heat to low. Whisk to blend. Add the butter and simmer 1 minute longer, whisking until smooth.

Pour into a heatproof container. Use immediately or cover and store up to several days in the refrigerator, where it will thicken as it cools. Reheat gently in a double boiler, in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over very low heat, or in the microwave.
