Jackson Resident Recalls Parachuting On D-Day

By Barbara A. O’Reilly JACKSON – As the third wave of the U.S. Army, 82nd Airborne Paratroopers jumped onto St. Eglise, Normandy, France, on D-Day, June 6, 1944, Sgt. Arthur Stern, age 19, was right in the thick of it.

It had poured rain for three days preceding D-Day; the ocean was roug h a nd t he land, a sea of mud.

Nevertheless, the Allied assault on German-occupied Europe continued.

Sgt. Stern and his men dropped amid gunfire and bomb blasts into a tangle of bodies, shooting and mud.

A huge German M-18 mortar fell about 10 feet away from Sgt.

COUNTY SETS RECORD ELECTION RESULTS

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COU NTY – More than half of registered voters in Ocean County went to the polls on Nov. 6, the most in any midter m elect ion, officials said.

County Clerk Scott Colabella said it was a historic election in terms of turnout.

“I have never seen this kind of volume in a midterm election,” he said. “It was like a presidential election.”

To put it in perspective, there

were 381,491 registered voters for the 2014 midterms, he said.

Of these, 37.92 percent turned out.

Parachuting:

Continued From Page 1 Stern, partially embedding itself in the muck.

“I’m a goner,” he thought.

The men of D-Day were prepared to die. They knew it was a chance they were taking to stop Hitler’s military advances and ethnic cleansing. They jumped, f lew planes, and landed boats on shore and fought - anyway.

As the smoke and debris cleared after the massive blast, Sgt. Stern recalled, “The mud helped save my life.”

Sgt. Stern lost most of his hearing from the detonation but, miraculously, otherwise escaped bodily injury.

The death toll from the Allied assault on Normandy was severe. Of the more than 160,000 Allied Forces who landed over the 50-mile stretch of Nazi heavily fortified beach and shore-line on D-Day, more than 9,000 Allied soldiers were killed or wounded, according to the Army’s website. The Americans suffered 2,499 deaths, the largest number of Allies’ casualties.

In addition to troops, 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircraft participated in the Allied invasion. The site said, “After a week

of fighting in Normandy, Victory there started the long, slow slog across Europe for the Allies.”

Laying there on the beach after narrowly escaping death, Sgt. Ster n—a Brooklyn, NY native, and one of five sons—promised to “live every day of my life as fully as possible.”

Now living quietly at Bartley Health Care in Jackson, Stern celebrated his 93rd bi r t hd ay on Se pt. 9, w it h h is second wife, Eve, and his daughter, Rona Ely of Marlboro. Naturally, he wore his constant 82nd Airborne Cap, commemorating his Army days. Every year he looks forward to Veterans Day, commemorated this year on Monday, Nov. 12.

According to his daughter, Mrs. Ely, and in a phone conversation with his son, Paul, in Utica, NY, they each said their Dad, Arthur Stern, always kept his D-Day promise and was a great dad and family man, as well as a successful small business entrepreneur.

On his birthday, “Happy Birthday” was sung by Guy and Grace Ludlow of Jackson, with some residents of Bartley Healthcare where the Ster ns reside.

T he Lud lows — b ot h f rom m i l it a r y families—have their own singing and

multi-instrumental musical duo, “Wild Rose Band.” They performed for other Bartley residents for Grandparents Day, and then visited the Sterns, when they learned about his birthday.

Ely said her dad now suffers from dementia. “Up to three years ago he was very alert, independent and still driving.

Then he started to fail by becoming more forgetful and starting to fall. We were all shocked and saddened because it was such a change for him.”

He still has a twinkle in his eye when someone speaks to him directly. His son, Paul, a nursing home administrator in Syracuse, NY, said, “He loved life and had an unbelievable one.”

Shortly after the war, Arthur married their mother, Esther, and the couple had four children: Sharon Preis of Brooklyn, Mark in Colorado, Rona Ely and Paul.

Then there were 11 grandchildren and eight great-grandkids, with two more on the way, Ely said. Sadly, Esther died in 1982 at the age of 53 from cancer, Ely explained. Her dad and the rest of the family were devasted, she said. The four siblings were in their teens and 20s.

Throughout his career, Arthur operated a string of small businesses successfully, including a three-year stint in Florida,

Volunteer At SAVE Rescue

and even after his retirement to Atlantic City. At one time, he started and operated three profitable restaurants, all-Italian themed, Paul said. They were The Spot, a popular place in Seagate, NY, a part of Brooklyn; Rivera Club Café in a gated community, also in Seagate; and Pizza Delight on Staten Island.

During the three years in Florida, Arthur first became a chef, then opened a deli near the Polo Hotel on Miami Beach Blvd., Paul said. Then it was back to Brooklyn to be near extended family. Paul followed in his dad’s restauranteur footsteps, he explained, by opening his own café in Clinton, NY, in 2007.

Arthur is often visited by his friend, a n o t h e r ve t e r a n , V i c t o r G u i d o of Gloucester, NJ. They met at a veterans event about 15 years ago. Arthur was a long-time member of Jewish Veterans of Foreign Wars, Vineland, when he lived in South Jersey, Mr. Guido said.

Paul said his Dad was generous, fun, and often took the family on cruises and to famous NYC restaurants and Broadway shows, once in limos. “We’re looking for ward to celebrating a lot more birthdays and Veterans Days,” said Paul.

Bus:

Continued From Page 1 nine-year-old sister were struck and killed by a vehicle at their bus stop. Another child, 11, was airlifted to a nearby hospital for his injuries. That 24-year-old driver was charged with three counts of felony reckless homicide and misdemeanor passing a school bus with the arm extended.

And in each case, there wasn’t one overriding factor, aside from human error (and some of the drivers were younger than 25), that contributed to the crashes: weather, impairment, cell phones.

The latest statistics cover 2006 to 2015. Nationally, there were 1,313 people killed in school transportation related crashes, an average of 131 a year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Of those, 301 were schoolaged children. One hundred two of those were pedestrians.

According to that same study by NHTSA, more school-age pedestrians were killed between 6-7 a.m., 7-8 a.m. and 3-4 p.m. than any other time of the day. Thirty-four percent of those killed were ages 8-13.

In New Jersey, bus drivers must use the bus’s flashing red lights when they are dropping off or picking up students, and until those students are safely cleared from the bus and road.

Drivers must stop at least 25 feet from a stopped by with flashing red lights when on a two-lane highway without a physical barrier, regardless if traveling in the same or opposite direction as the bus. Those traveling on a divided highway must stop 25 feet from a bus stopped with flashing red lights when traveling in the same direction.

Vehicles traveling on the opposite side of a stopped bus with flashing red lights on a divided highway can pass at 10 mph or less and must remain at that speed until they completely pass the stopped school bus.

Vehicles must go no faster than 10 mph when passing by a stopped school bus dropping off or picking up students directly at school, day camp or school-related activity, when located on the same side of the highway where the bus is stopped.

First-time violators can receive a $100 fine and up to 15 days in jail or community service. Subsequent violations come with a $250 fine or more, and up to 15 days in jail. Five points are added to licenses per offense.

A helpful brochure with the law can be found at nj.gov/education/finance/transportation/training/ BusSafety.pdf And although not all tragedies can be avoided, the National Association for Pupil Transportation has these safety tips for students and families.

• Dress children in bright colors so they are easily seen.

• Make sure everything they need for school is securely in their school bag to avoid dropping anything. If a child drops an item, teach them to leave it. Tell the driver and await instructions.

• Make sure children leave on time to catch the bus.

• Young children should be accompanied to bus stops or walk in groups.

• Use sidewalks if available. If not, do not walk in the street. If that’s unavoidable, walk against traffic as close to the edge of the road as possible.

• Always look left and right when crossing the street. Do the same at driveways, alleyways, etc. Look all ways when leaving the bus.

• Have children wait for their bus at an easyto-see location. Avoid waiting in a house or car.

• Don’t play in the street.

• Parents, wait on the side of the street where you’re children will be dropped off.

Beginners Geocaching Challenge

LAKEWOOD – Come to Ocean County Park on Jan. 26, 12-3 p.m., for a Beginners Geocaching Challenge!

Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunt. It’s a great way to get outdoors and exercise the gray matter. Adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices search for hidden containers, called geocaches. Geocaching also involves an online community where information is shared and members develop a strong sense of

community and support for the environment.

After a brief introduction to Geocaching, participants will be given coordinates and turned loose in the park after a multi-cache.

The first team to find the final cache will receive a prize. You will need a GPS unit or an equivalent smartphone app to participate.

Participants must be able to walk two miles over uneven terrain.

The cost is $5 per person for ages 9 and up.

Security:

Continued From Page 1 Barnetsky received 8,111 in the three seat race.

The school district’s question concerned the hiring of six additional security guards to provide additional protection of the district’s schools. It received 8,741 votes in support and 8,255 opposing the idea.

“Based on the unofficial results, we are pleased the voters of Jackson supported our plan to add additional security guards to our schools,” said Superintendent of Schools Stephen Genco. “(Once the results are official) we will be working to find the best candidates to join our security team.”

The Board of Education held a forum last month at the Jackson Memorial High School Fine Arts Center to answer any questions the public might have and to explain the need for the added security personnel. The forum drew around 30 residents with only three people asking questions during the session.

The district will now have a total of 19 security officers. It currently has two police resource officers, the cost of which is shared between the school district and township.

Genco said repeatedly during the last several months that due to the number of schools the district has “the number of students and staff for whom we are responsible, we need to do more. We need these additional officers to give us better coverage of all of our buildings.”

The district has been working with the

Jackson Police Department and has added security upgrades. Genco stated that the district is working within a 2 percent budget cap and that the new school security staff positions which include health benefits amounts to $411,611. Because school districts in the state must operate within a 2 percent cap on the tax levy, this kind of expense cannot be accomplished within that cap, which is why Jackson voters had to make a decision on the hiring through the special ballot question.

According to the school district, a home assessed at the township average of $327,046 will now see an increase in their school tax by about $10 per year. The passage will increase the school tax rate by $0.0031 which is less than one-third of one penny on the tax rate.

The district uses security cameras, a locked door buzzer system, school resource officers, armed and unarmed security guards, and is in the final phase of installing security vestibules in all buildings.

“We want to provide another layer of security to make our schools as safe as we can for our students and staff. This is a work in progress,” Genco had said earlier this year.

Some of the six security guards who will be added will be carrying concealed weapons.

“We believe these positions are necessary.”

The question’s approval will also result in a permanent increase to the district’s tax levy which means that voters will not be asked to approve it each year – it will be part of the budget moving forward and the funds approved must be used to fund these positions only.

Election:

Continued From Page 1 populace that is more aware of national headlines. Whether they were for or against what’s happening in the country right now, they went to the polls to voice their opinions.

The county had advanced notice that it was going to be one for the record books, he said. In 2014, they issued 12,000 mail-in ballots. In 2018, they sent out 40,000, and 31,033 came back.

That gave the county the heads up to put out more staff and supplies for a large turnout.

George Gilmore, head of the Ocean County Republicans, also spoke of the large turnout.

“I think control of Congress was a factor,” he said, as well as the Senate race. “I think the President was a factor.”

Whether you approve of the President Donald Trump or not, there were a lot of people who went to the polls because of it. Ocean County is largely a Republican stronghold.

Trump won Ocean County by 91,929 votes. It was a significant margin. (Trump got 179,079 votes. Hillary Clinton got 87,150 votes.)

While the number of voters tells one story, victory margins are more important, Gilmore said. They demonstrate how well the campaign worked, and how well the candidate was able to reach voters.

It’s telling that Republican Senate candidate Bob Hugin had the largest victory margin in the state in Ocean County, he said.

Hugin received 139,766 votes. Senator Robert Menendez received 74,566 votes, but did better in other counties and won the election.

To further put the vote totals into perspective, Hugin received more votes in Ocean County than Kim Guadagno when she ran for governor, and Chris Christie the last time he ran for governor.

In 2017, there were 97,737 votes for K i m Gu a d ag no a nd Ca rlos Rendo.

There were 56,279 votes for Phil Murphy and Sheila Oliver.

In 2013, Ocean County was responsible for 125,781 of Chris Christie’s votes. He ran with Kim Guadagno as his r unning mate. Their opposition, Democrats Barbara Buono and Milly Silva, received just 37,930 votes.

Hugin even did better than 2012’s numbers. This was the last time that Menendez ran, and it was also a presidential election. Menendez received 99,362 votes. His Republican challenger, Joe Kyrillos received 132,413 votes.

This figure is more in line with what Hugin received this year, 139,766, and there wasn’t a presidential election to boost totals.

Blue Wave, Red County A lt houg h De mo c r at s n at ionw ide f l ipped ma ny cong re ssional seat s, Ocean County largely remained Re-

publican. Many towns didn’t even have Democrats on the ballot. One notable exce pt ion is i n Sout h Tom s R ive r, where the Democrat candidates for mayor and two council members won.

Although many national news sources ignored the 3 rd District Congressional race on election night, it was so close that Rep. Tom MacArthur only conceded on Nov. 14, while provisional ballots were still being counted.

MacA r thu r received 76,998 votes in Ocean. Andy Kim received 46,861 votes. The provisional vote totals were still being compiled as of press time.

The last time MacArthur was on the ballot was in 2016, when he received 95,147 votes. His challenger, Frederick LaVergne, received 41,766 votes.

Remember that this was the same year as the presidential election, when there are more voters.

In 2014, he received 45,518 votes from Ocean, compared to Aimee Belgard, who received 27,232. So, he received about 30,000 more votes in 2018 than in 2014.

Kim received about 20,000 more than the 2014 contestant.

After the midterms, Rep. Chris Smith is the only Republican left in the House of Representatives from New Jersey. His 4th District straddles Ocean and Monmouth counties. He received 49,830 votes in Ocean. Challenger Josh Welle received 24,130 votes.

In 2016, Smith received 62,148 votes.

His challenger, Lorna Phillipson, received 22,045 votes. Again, this was a presidential election, so numbers increase.

In 2014, Chris Smith received 36,888 of the votes in Ocean. His challenger, Ruben Scolavino, received 34,651. So, again, Smith received more than 20,000 votes this year than in the most comparable year, 2014. His challenger actually performed worse.

Even Seth Grossman, who lost the endorsement from the National Republicans after making negative statements about d iver sit y, d id well i n Ocea n County. He received 10,972 votes. His challenger, Jeff Van Drew, received 6,999 votes.

Grossman and Van Drew were competing over the second Congressional District, vacated by retiring Republ ica n Fr a n k L oBiondo. D u r i ng t he presidential election in 2016, LoBiondo received 13,268 votes. His challenger, David Cole, received 5,882 votes. In 2014, LoBiondo received 8,031 votes in Ocean. His challenger, William J. Hughes Jr., received 3,438 votes. So, Grossman did better than LoBiondo did in the last midterm.

The difference in vote counts between congressional districts have to do with the size of the districts in Ocean County. The 4 th District, for example, has a lot of space in Monmouth County. The second district is stretched out over eight different counties. This article only looks at Ocean County numbers.

Wyatt Earp, chairman of the Ocean County Democrats, was unable to be reached for comment by press time.

Health Dept. Urges You To Quit Smoking During Lung Cancer Awareness Month

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – Brian Lippai, Ocean County Health Department Public Information Officer, recalls how smoking has affected his life during this year’s Lung Cancer Awareness month.

“As a young child, I can remember begging my father to please stop smoking. With a gentle smile he would respond with his typical response, ‘Someday, Brian, someday.’ Unfortunately, he never did quit and my father died from lung cancer at age 69 after a lifelong habit of smoking cigarettes.

That’s why every November I look forward to my modest role as the Ocean County Health Department Public Information Officer and joining the army of anti-smoking crusaders that urge the 38 million smokers in the United States to quit!” stated Lippai.

The Ocean County Health Department is recognizing November as Lung Cancer Awareness Month and the week of November 15 as the American Cancer Association’s (ACA) Great American Smoke Out event.

Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health, stated “Despite making great strides, there is still work to be done. The numbers tell us that smokers have decreased from 42% in 1965 to less than 15% in 2016. However, the American Cancer Society estimates about 154,000 deaths in 2018 from lung cancer.

That’s still too many.”

Lung cancer is still the leading cause of cancer death and the second most common cancer.

Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Officer reminds everyone about the dangers of secondhand smoke.

“It’s important to remind smokers that they aren’t only endangering their own lives but others as well. An alarming 73,000 people succumbed to cancer from secondhand smoke in the U.S between 2005 and 2009,” said Regenye.

Regenye advises smokers to seek support when quitting. “Beating nicotine addiction is a personal quest with a variety of resources available to offer guidance and support,” he added.

The Ocean County Health Department provides a list of tips by the American Lung Association to help smokers kick the habit: Eliminate triggers - Thoroughly clean your house and car, removing all smoking devices and reminders.

Give it time - Try to make it 3 months.

Understand that slip up are okay Break the habitual routine - Start healthy habits Keep trying - Every smoker can quit. It may take time or a lot of practice, but you do have the power to break the addiction.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

My Hearing Is Prett y Good, Except When I Go To The Movies I often hear the comment, “I can’t appreciate going to the movies because I am missing the punch line.” Similar complaints are reiterated when watching TV, listening to the radio or in noisy restaurant environments. These environments have something in common; they all present the listener with a mechanical reproduction of sound and utilize various techniques that can make understanding difficult with hearing loss.

Movie theaters employ loudness expansion. With expansion, loud sounds are louder than normal. This is exactly the opposite of what people with hearing loss need. Specifically, hearing impaired folks need loudness compression (reduced amplification of loud sounds). It is ridiculous that most movie theaters insist on playing sound tracks so loud even though everybody complains about it. Moreover, filmmakers often use multiple microphones to record speech

from several people at the same time.

Add background music to this situation and you have the recipe for a difficult listening environment.

Whether you are listening to the radio, telephone, TV or watching movies, the quality of sound and the intelligibility of speech has been recorded, processed, transmitted and amplified. For people with hearing loss, this difference is enough to make understanding a real challenge. I encourage anybody who is having difficulty listening in these environments to utilize the technology that is available to improve the sound quality. For example, most movie theaters “are wired for sound,” and allow you to utilize their own personal listening headphones (which are typically infra red technology). In most cases, this will dramatically improve your ability to understand speech, which is our common goal.

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. Expanded Whiting Hours!

3 Convincing Reasons To Eat More Oatmeal

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Most people conjure up an image in their mind about eating oatmeal. It’s usually the vision of someone over the age of 60, seeking the joys of regularity. But it should not be that cliche. If you’re interested in a good meal that is packed with vitamins and minerals, and even some cancer-fighting phytonutrients, oatmeal is top of the list. Oatmeal can help suppor t you in your quest to fight diabetes, obesity and colon problems. Here are 3 really convincing reasons to start eating oatmeal.

1. Want prote c t ion f rom ger ms or cancer? Oats are a very healthy source of carbs, fat, protein, and fiber.

The most famous fiber of all is “beta glucan,” a natural immunomodulator. It makes sure that your immune system’s radar detector is on alert, thereby placing your fighter cells on guard in case home-invaders show up. The most common attackers are bacteria, viruses and rogue cells that cause cancer. Scientists have found evidence that it can stimulate the growth of new stem cells too.

2. Feeling Tired or Anemic? Oats contain many vitamins and minerals, especially iron. Just one cup of dried oats cont ains 26% of the Recommended Daily Allowance for iron.

Obviously, you want to cook the oats.

What’s nice about this is that iron

supplements can be very hard on your gastrointestinal tract, and can cause stool discoloration, cramps, constipation and severe nausea or vomiting.

So to have a delicious meal and know that you’re getting much needed iron can be a blessing.

3. Need to work on blood sugar or cholesterol? It is the soluble fiber in oatmeal which can slow down the rate at which carbs are broken down and digested. This stabilizes your blood sugar, and prevents crazy peaks and troughs.

Because it keeps blood sugar stable, oatmeal is theoretically great at preventi ng complications f rom diabetes or other chronic illnesses. It literally improves insulin resistance.

I am definitely an oatmeal fan if you haven’t deduced that by now. I think I make the best too!

Oatmeal lovers rarely go on statins too! Eating oatmeal even twice a week can have an immediate impact on longevity. Researchers have stated that no matter when you begin upping your intake of dietary fiber, the benefits to your health are virtually immediate.

If you’d like my delicious recipe for oatmeal, as well as a longer version of my article, sign up for my free newslet ter at su z ycohen .com a nd I’ll email it to you. You’ll also get a downloadable copy of my ebook, Spices That Heal.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

You’re Not Invisible – You’re On Vacation

LOOK FOR A VARIETY OF PHOTOS SNAPPED ALL AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE!

Dear Joel, My wife and I have a near perfect marriage. We enjoy the same things and do almost everything together, except when her mother visits. She’s a nice enough lady, but when she’s here it’s like I don’t even exist.

The Invisible Man in Toms River

Have a photo you’d like to share with the community? TAG US!

Visit online @ jerseyshoreonline.com

Dear Invisible, You folks sound like a super family. You are very lucky to have a great relationship with your wife that you enjoy every day.

Additionally, it is wonderful that your wife and your mother get along so well.

If you saw all the situations and family dynamics that I have, you would know how truly blessed you are. Still, I do understand. It’s hard to feel like the odd man out, but try not to take it personally.

Your wife knew your mother-in-law her whole life. It’s a sacred bond, and your

wife probably loves you more for giving her time with her mother. Don’t let it get to you, and instead, use that time to do all the things you need or want to do. When you start to view your motherin-law’s visits as a gift to your wife and as your own personal time, you’ll all enjoy it and you’ll get a lot more accomplished.

Read that book you always wanted to read, organize the garage, treat yourself to a nice meal out, take a bike ride or review all your papers and insurance policies.

You may even find a little extra savings.

Remember, you’re not invisible, you’re on vacation.

LSVT BIG: Exaggerated Movements for Parkinson’s Symptom Relief By: Lindsay Walicky, DPT

A

pproximately one million Americans are currently living with Parkinson’s disease.

Men are one and a half times more likely to be diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD) than women. Parkinson’s disease is classified as a movement disorder. Patients with PD lack dopamine, which is a central nervous system (CNS) chemical derived from the substantia nigra portion of the brain. Dopamine works to control smooth movement, which is why patients with PD lack controlled and smooth pursuits of their movements.

The most common symptoms of PD can include: tremors, rigidity (stiffness in their trunk/body), postural instability, and balance deficits. Other symptoms that can occur are masked facial expressions and soft speech or slurring.

the protocol consisting of 16, hour long sessions with a certified Physical or Occupational Therapist geared towards improving the symptoms of PD. This program consists of seated and standing exercises including movements that challenge balance, trunk control, rotations and limb mobility. Goals are set specifically for each patient throughout the program focusing on the activities of daily living (ADL’s) and the functional limitations patients with PD have.

These can include simple things like getting in and out of the car or bed, rising from the couch, or reaching on a high shelf. During each session the therapist will work on these issues as well as walking and balance. A detailed home exercise program (HEP) will also be provided for each patient to assist with carry-over post-therapy session.

The cause of PD is unknown and currently there is no cure; however, treatments to control the symptoms are available. Current treatment options include: dopamine replacement medications, the most common being Sinemet and/or the more radical treatment being neurosurgical intervention in which a deep brain stimulator is implanted in the patient’s brain. The stimulator is placed in the location from which the symptoms originate to modify the brain activity.

Patients with PD have an abnormal perception of normal movement sizes. Small steps, decreased body rotation and arm swing with shuffling steps are typical. The LSVT BIG exercises are specific to address these deficits. The intensity of this program enhances the carry-over to change the normal movements, not just during the therapy sessions but throughout the patient’s daily lives.

Many research studies are currently being conducted to assist with management, diagnosis and cause, including the LSVT BIG exercise program. Of that research, LSVT BIG results have shown that exercise in addition to or in lieu of dopamine replacement medication or neurosurgical intervention can slow disease progression and help to manage current symptoms. Patient case studies have proven significant effectiveness of these specified movements geared towards the impairments associated with PD. LSVT is a program that has been studied for many years originally being used as a speech program implemented by speech therapists (LSVT LOUD). LSVT BIG is a specific exercise program;

The LSVT BIG program works because the exercises specifically target the movement deficits patients with PD are affected with. The program is called “BIG” because the exercises require actual big movements, using large steps with the legs and reaching and swinging movements of the arms and upper body. These movements assist with increasing the patient’s mobility as well as working on their balance, causing them to shift their weight forward, backwards and to both sides. The exercises can be modified for different physical functioning levels to perform with the therapist in the safest manner. The repetition of these exercises and the consistency of this program work to enhance the long-term effects from the therapy clinic to home and ultimately life.

Research has shown significant improvements in the brain through these studies. Positive

changes in image results before and after completing this program have been found.

There is no cure for PD, but through the LSVT BIG program the symptoms can be managed.

There are multiple stages of PD, and catching patient’s at the optimal stage can highly assist with the symptom recovery process leading to a better outcome and quality of life for the patient and family. No matter what stage of disease progression a patient with PD is in, increasing the amount of daily activity and participating in a regular exercise program can improve the quality of life and movements. If you would like to know if LSVT BIG is right for you or a loved one, contact your doctor and mention the LSVT BIG program at All-Care Physical Therapy Center.

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. The 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’.

This loss of integrity may go on to cause inflammation and chronic disease may develop such as Inflammatory 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.

This may include eating organic, adding more diverse and colorful fruits and vegetables, removing foods that may be causing inflammation, 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.

Inside The Law Injured At Work?!

Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea of R.C. Shea & Associates

You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage.

In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits.

Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment.

Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization.

Further, it is important to note another

critical benefit of the Michael J. Deem Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer.

This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care.

If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. 732-505-1212.
