By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – It was a good day for plants that like shade and light rain.

The annual Ocean County Master Gardeners Plant Sale was held on a recent Saturday morning in the parking lot that services the health department and the Rutgers Cooperative Extension.

The impending drizzle didn’t keep people away. There were about 742 people who showed up to shop, 325 of them in the first 10 minutes, said Sue Masoorli, chair of the plant sale. They come looking for unusual plants you won’t find in the box stores. Funds raised through the sale support the Master Gardeners for the rest of

the year. By noon, the first drops started to fall but that was OK because customers had practically cleaned them out by then.

Some people are looking for creating havens for wildlife, said Mary Townsend, co-manager of the greenhouse. There were a lot of salvias for hummingbirds, (Plant - See Page 5)

Police Save 15-Year-Old Girl From Cardiac Episode

By Kimberly Bosco JACKSON – Jackson Police are celebrating the miraculous recovery of a 15-year-old girl who suffered a cardiac episode while roller skating at the Jackson Roller Skating Rink back in March.

On March 1, police responded to the roller rink for a report of a teenager who had fallen and went unconscious.

This girl was later identified as Victoria Pyott.

Jackson Officers Anthony Riso, Cassiopeia De La Torre and Randall Trasky and Sgt. Michael Grochowski made speedy work of responding to the call, as they were right around the corner from the rink. In less than a minute, the officers were on the scene and working (Cardiac - See Page 11)

School Taxes, Class Sizes Increasing With Aid Cuts

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Members of the Jackson Board of Education voted to approve the district’s annual spending plan which includes a tax increase.

District Business Administrator Michelle Richardson said the $153,211,598 budget includes a 3.6 cent increase.

Superintendent Stephen Genco said previously while discussing the budget’s preparation that by raising to the full 2 percent of the tax levy taxpayers of an average home, valued at $327,707, taxpayers would see a $119 tax increase.

The Jackson School District joined at least 11 school districts to fight against recent cuts to state aid from “what

we consider to be an unjust and inequitable school funding law known as S2,” Genco said.

S2 redistributed state aid away from districts losing enrollment, such as Jackson, which was considered “overfunded.”

Previously the district was looking at increasing its surplus account by $600,000 and was considering a reduction in staff by at least 20 positions.

“We did lose 14 positions through attrition and retirements. We did not have to do a reduction in force of anybody. Last year we lost 16 positions so in two years we have lost 30 positions. That is a lot of positions and we are starting to feel it in (Cuts - See Page 5)

Poultry Pageant Attracts A Flock Of Fans

By Chris Lundy HOWELL – Chickens are really taking off lately.

Not literally, of course. They can’t fly. But the number of families keeping them in their back yard is growing. Whether it’s for eggs or for pets, they are becoming popular backyard friends.

What better way to celebrate them than a poultry pageant?

Pageant:

Continued From Page 1 The Third Annual Miss Hen was held recently at Monmouth Feed Supply. The event was scheduled to coincide with the arrival of new chicks for the season. With all the backyard chickens, it’s become a fun way for the community of amateur chicken farmers to get together and share tips, owner Ralph Kiracofe said.

People are loving having small backyard flocks, especially families that get their children involved in the care of the birds, he said. They learn a lot and are rewarded with having a social and affectionate pet.

And nothing answers the market for organic eggs than growing them yourself.

“We just figured we’d celebrate it,” Kiracofe said.

The chickens were judged in four categories: Trick/Talent, Best Feathered, Best Dressed and Miss Congeniality.

The three judges – Diane Goossen of Goossen Farm, Shelby Johnson of Harleys and Horses Farm, and Rob Schuster of Schuster’s Poultry Farm – made the rounds to interact with the birds to see which ones had the softest and most aesthetically pleasing plumage and who had the warmest personality.

The “Best Dressed” competition had chickens in children’s carts or in a cute

outfit. The winner had Jacob Wladich dressed as Colonel Sanders carrying around his chicken, Matilda, in a bucket.

The KFC in this case stood for “Kindness For Chickens.”

When it came to talent, there are certainly some talented animals in the county, but they were also camera shy. Once they got in front of the judges, some got stage fright.

Like one chicken who didn’t respond to commands and just sat there so her owner improvised and declared “She’s doing an impression of a boulder.” Bryce Decline of Brick brought his pet Chica to the competition. He had been working on a trick to get her to fetch bits of cheese. In another case, “The Amazing Big Bird” was trained to find an egg under one of three cups. When she didn’t quite get it, the owner used some “hidden magic” to sprinkle some bird seed near the right one.

Results Prizes and ribbons were given out in all categories, with a first through fourth place.

But there can only be one Miss Hen. The winner of the competition – and a year’s supply of feed courtesy Monmouth Feed Supply and Nutrena, was Lady Buckington, presented by Ryan and Christina Ward.

The runner-up, who won six months of feed, was Muffin, presented by Emily Favre.

“We are one of the districts that is one of the biggest losers,” Genco said in regards to state aid reduction. The district lost $1.3 million in state funding during the 2018-19 school year and will see a reduction of $2.3 million during the coming school year with a $3.5 million reduction in 2020-21. The reductions will continue on for another five years for seven years total.

“We put together a budget that kept as much as we could protect,” Genco said. “I have to believe that something will change because I can’t imagine the impacts. We are not alone in this funding impacts. I can’t believe the state would sit back and see the impacts that would occur.”

The district raised the budget by the maximum allowed by law, but it doesn’t fill in the gap of what was lost in state

That being said, Genco said he is proud of what the district has been able to accomplish given the losses: “We have been able to maintain our investments in curriculum in social studies, guidance curriculum revision, Chrome books to support curriculum updates.

“We did protect our investments in technology initiatives. We have to maintain that technology infrastructure,” Genco added.

Genco said, “we were able to keep all our co-curricular teams. We will be limiting freshmen and junior varsity in tournament games. We already have a pay to play, a participation fee including. We aren’t increasing that fee but it isn’t going anywhere.”

The superintendent added that the district will share a Plumsted Township School District employee three days a week as part of its child study team program. “We will be paying Plumsted for that three-day-adonates proceeds to that country’s MakeA-Wish Foundation.

And every plant grown was chosen based on how well it grows in this climate.

Susan Servidio, horticulturalist and Master Gardener coordinator, “Some people have a list and some just see what looks good,” she said. Most of them are local, but through conversation, she learned that some of them came from pretty far away. It was also the first year that they accepted credit card payments, so that helped with people making big purchases.

week period,” Genco said.

In its tentative budget the district planned to cut all its tier one facilities projects but was able to put “$100,000 back which is close to three fourths of our projects,” Genco said.

“We are building a new satellite transportation facility,” Genco said. He noted that the $5 million facility to be located near the Jackson Liberty High School will be paid with capital reserve money.

“We could not use that from the capital budget. It can only be used from the reserve fund for reserve projects. Our current facility is not cost effective,” Genco said adding that the district would continue its to upgrade its bus fleet.

Genco noted the tax levy was raised to 2 percent, that is the maximum that can be raised by law. That figure represents $1.6 million. Genco said that meant the district was $600,000 behind the eight ball. “Things don’t typically go down (in

costs). I believe this is a budget that allows us to maintain the integrity of the district.”

Genco repeated his view that he did not believe that there is a district in the entire state that was overfunded. “Our population has gone down and because of that they are saying we’ve been overfunded. I think that is an oversimplified way of describing a very complex problem. I don’t think any district in the state is overfunded.”

Board member Gus Acevedo said “the job was done to keep this school district from cutting its own throat from diminishing its effectiveness and from being less than it could be …and the money was being well spent. This district is not failing.”

Vice Board President Sharon Dey said that any “cuts will eventually impact our kids. We have a great community and our schools are a big part of it.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

E ditorial What Do Our Towns Need?

Toms River township historian and retired Township Clerk J. Mark Mutter researched some old newspapers for this week’s edition of The Toms River Times. He fou nd that the local paper, the New Jersey Courier, made a list of what the town needed in 1869. It stated: “ We wa nt a t ow n clock.

We want a steamboat to New York.

We wa nt a la rge r school house.

We want a public library.

We want free public schools.

We want the village of Toms River to be incorporated.

We want a rail road along the shore.”

In 1890, they still had a list of demands that included large hotels, a fire department, and “Capitalists to put up houses and boom the town for all its worth.”

A yea r later, t hey were asking for a better water supply, better roads, a public wharf, clean streets and better schools.

It made me wonder: what would that list look like today?

A lot of items on the wish list were physical – a library, a rail road.

We have certainly built up a lot more since then and there aren’t too many physical things we need.

Several of those things are perennial. We all want better roads, and a better water supply.

Most of the necessities we already have (schools, etc.) it’s just a matter of how to maint ai n t he m. We have volunteer fire and first

aid squads, but there’s little in the way of new blood volunteering and many are going to paid services.

Some towns have a clock.

I don’t want to speak on behalf of the entire region, but I think it safe to say we need: • A homeless shelter. Doesn’t have to be huge. But it should be near services and jobs.

Mo r e jo b s . It ’s n o t enough to create commercial zones and hope for the best. We need to entice employers to the area so that people aren’t com muting to work 30 or more minutes a day. And these jobs need to be able to pay a livable wage for the area.

• An office park. See above.

• A t e c h c e n t e r.

There’s a brain drain going on where anyone who graduates with an advanced degree move elsewhere.

• More open space.

The county has reported that about half of the county is open space.

That said, more open space.

• Lower taxes. I think this goes without saying, but there are a lot of padded positions in municipal and county gover n ment that get paid a lot more than their work entails. Ever y super visor could take a 10 percent pay cut and still be rich, while saving residents a lot of money.

That’s my list off the top of my head. What do you think your town needs?

to those driving the speed limit. Road rage is both a dangerous and frightening concern. It would be horrible if a tragedy occurred as a result of this problem.

But again, is this acceptable?

There is no indication that the police chief has set up inconspicuous radar to address the problem.

Why is Addison Road a residential street where excessive speed has been continuously ignored for a very long time? Does the police chief call this protecting the community?

Or perhaps because this is simply acceptable. We have no answers.

Chief Patterson, as President of the Monmouth County Chiefs of Police Association, we are asking that you use your influence to help us. Perhaps there is an underlying reason why our concerns for the safety of our children have not been addressed. We, as residents, know it is not possible to catch every speeding car, truck, or even school bus that blatantly ignores the speed limit. But there must be something that can be done.

If the chief can allow three and four officers to eat lunch at Aldrich Pizza and Chick-fil-A together, then there is obviously not a shortage of officers available to radar. The most serious times are between 7-9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to approximately 8 p.m.

Monday-Friday, as well as miscellaneous times over the weekend.

It is obvious our road is used as a fast shortcut for many drivers. The excessive speeding on Addison Road will never be acceptable to its residents. Past letters have been addressed to the chief and mayor; however, they have yielded no results. We appreciate any help you could give and than k you for this consideration.”

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

Smith: Bill Would Provide Veterans More Recreational Opportunities On Federal Lands

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) reintroduced bipartisan legislation, HR 2435, to help military veterans heal and seek treatment through outdoor recreation, by providing them better access to federal lands.

“Veterans hospitals are renowned for intricate and comprehensive specialty surgeries and treatments, but we can and should do more,” said Smith, former Veterans Committee Chairman and author of the Veterans Health Programs Improvement Act (P.L. 108-422), which authorized new research and education centers for treating veterans with complex multi-trauma combat injuries; today there are five major polytrauma rehabilitation centers.

“Studies have shown - and veterans organizations strongly concur - that outdoor recreational activities can provide powerful therapeutic and healing benefits as well as camaraderie for veterans struggling with combat-related injuries or post-traumatic stress,” said Smith.

“We should be thinking outsidethe-box to discover as many ways as possible to help veterans, and opening up federal lands and removing barriers to access for remedial outdoor recreation is a no-brainer. My legislation would help increase access to this treatment option.”

The Outdoor Recreation Therapy for Veterans Act would direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish, within 180 days of the bill’s enactment into law, an inter-agency task force to increase the availability of federal lands for use for medical therapy for veterans.

Among other actions, the task force would: Be co-chaired by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the Secretary of the Interior and include the Secretaries of HHS, Agriculture, Defense, and Homeland Security, and the Commanding General of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; Discover opportunities for collaboration between the VA and public land agencies to increase the opportunities for veterans to enjoy outdoor recreation; Identify obstacles that exist to veteran outdoor recreation.

Smith’s legislation also would: Require a preliminary report within 180 days on the findings of the Task Force; Require a report no later than one year after enactment of the legislation on the Task Force’s proposals

to better facilitate the use of public lands for the treatment of veterans.

Smith’s legislation is supported by various veteran advocacy and outdoor recreation groups, including Paralyzed Veterans of America, Disabled American Veterans (DAV), American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), Minority Veterans of America, Blue Star Families, Vet Voice Foundation, Sierra Club, Adventure Not War, REI Co-op, PeopleForBikes, Outdoor Alliance, Outdoor Industry Association, Outdoor Research, and the National Parks Conservation Association.

“DAV has supported numerous programs over the years to provide recreational therapies for injured and ill veterans, most notably the DAV and VA co-sponsored National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic and National Disabled Veterans TEE Tournament.

We know the therapeutic benefit these experiences have, and are pleased to support The Outdoor Recreation Therapy for Veterans Act as it could create even more opportunities for veterans to experience the life-changing power of alternative therapies,” said DAV National Commander Dennis R. Nixon.

“For 100 years The American Legion has been concerned with making veterans heal not just from the wounds of war, but any disabilities or conditions incurred as a result of their military service,” National Commander Brett P. Reistad said. “We also support the use of a wide variety of therapies.

Due to the physical requirements to serve in the military, many veterans enjoy outdoor activities.

The American Legion welcomes any legislation that combines recreational therapy for veterans with the use of public resources.”

“Outdoor recreation therapies such as hunting and fishing provide camaraderie and healing for veterans who struggle with the wounds of war. The VFW supports expanding such opportunities for veterans and thanks Congressman Chris Smith for introducing the Outdoor Recreation Therapy for Veterans Act,” said VFW Executive Director Bob Wallace. “This bill would rightfully evaluate and remove barriers to access for veterans who would like to use outdoor activities to cope with their service-related illnesses and injuries.”

“The outdoors provide military families a much-needed place

of recreation, rejuvenation, and healing. At Blue Star Families, programs such as Blue Star Parks connect the military community to nature, because the parks make a difference. An overwhelming majority of military families report that visiting parks provides a much-needed outlet from the stress of their daily lives,” said Kathy Roth-Douquet, Founder and CEO of Blue Star Families.

“We commend this bi-partisan bill from Congressmen Chris Smith and Adam Smith, and Senators Cortez Masto and Daines, because it will make our nation’s backyard more accessible for our veteran community and their families.

Protecting and preserving these beautiful lands is one of the reasons we serve and sacrifice, so it means so much to us to enjoy them with our families.”

“Veterans have demanded for years outdoor recreation programs be a part of our health treatment. It is long overdue for the VA to recognize this basic, yet vital need... they now have the opportunity to begin providing Veterans with this service!” said Robert White, VP of Internal Relations for Minority Veterans of America.

“At REI Co-op, we believe a life outdoors is a life well-lived. It can even be healing, especially for our veterans who have sacrificed much of their lives to protect our nation,” said Eric Artz, REI’s President and CEO. “We owe them our gratitude not just today, but every day. So, we applaud congressmen Chris Smith and Adam Smith, and Senators Cortez Masto and Daines for taking this basic step - instructing the VA and the nation’s land managers to determine how our lands can be used to help our veterans heal.

We know the outdoors is good for you. It’s only right that we make it as easy as possible for our veterans to rejuvenate among the country’s natural wonders.”

“As a combat veteran working at the intersection of public lands and outdoor recreation for veterans and military families, I have experienced the healing power of nature firsthand,” stated Rob Vessels, Director of Sierra Club’s Military Outdoors Campaign and Army veteran. “The Sierra Club believes that every veteran should have the opportunity to get outdoors when they return home from service. We applaud and support this bi-partisan bill and thank Congressmen Chris Smith and Adam Smith, as

well as all sponsors for their efforts to improve the lives of our veterans. When our veterans thrive, so too does our society.”

“Time outdoors was the place that put me not just on my healing journey, but my journey fully home when I got home from war. After casting about for two years trying to find a place to call home and a new mission and team, it was rock climbing, and later white water rafting and skiing that truly brought me back home,” said Stacy Bare, OIF Veteran 06-07, 2014 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, and Founder of Adventure Not War. “I commend any effort of Congress that helps veterans, service members, and their families, people just like me in making it easier to get outdoors. There are real, scientifically verified health benefits to time outdoors. Perhaps more importantly, time outdoors, structured the right way, helps encourage people to seek and complete traditional treatments. I couldn’t be prouder of this bi-partisan effort in Congress!”

“Outdoor recreation is an important part of caring for America’s veterans. The legislation being introduced by Rep. Chris Smith and Rep. Adam Smith, and Senators Cortez Masto and Daines, will help to develop needed coordination among our federal agen-

cies to better understand how the outdoors can help and treat those who have served in uniform,” Jenn Dice, Vice Business for the Business Network of PeopleForBikes.

“Our veterans deserve the best care available and looking into innovative solutions for leveraging our public lands is something we should all welcome.”

“Our public lands help define us so much of who we are as a people, and what we have accomplished as a nation arise out of these cherished places,” observed Adam Cramer, Executive Director of Outdoor Alliance. “The power of our public lands to restore is self-evident, so we are delighted with the compassion of congressmen Chris Smith and Adam Smith, and Senators Cortez Masto and Daines, to better connect our veterans with the healing aspects of our public lands.”

“Veterans are integral to the outdoor industry — they rely on our outdoor products when they serve our country and many become key members of the outdoor industry workforce and leadership when they complete their service,” said Amy Roberts, executive director of Outdoor Industry Association.

“We are also learning more and more about the unique and powerful connection between mental and physical health and being outdoors — we need to continue to do all

we can to ensure that our veterans have access to the outdoors to heal, reconnect and enjoy the special places their service helps keep open and free.”

“Preliminary evidence suggests that outdoor hiking—combining the benefits of nature contact, group bonding, and physical activity—may be effective in treating veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We also know that nature contact has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, and is associated with decreased likelihood of depression,” said Gregory Bratman, Doug Walker Endowed Professor of Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington.

“This bill would provide an opportunity to maximize use of federal lands to gain more understanding about the ways in which nature experience benefits the people who have served our country, informing the design of future interventions aimed at addressing their pressing mental and physical health needs.”

“This study is needed to recognize the healing power of the outdoors for all users, especially our military veterans. The benefits are real to anyone who has enjoyed our parks and public lands,” said Ani Kame’enui, Legislative Director of the National Parks Conservation Association.

JACKSON – Mayor Michael Reina, along with Council President Rob Nixon, are reaching out to the Community to seek your assistance. In recent days a vacant home, which was slated for demolition, had been severely vandalized. The vandals destroyed all of the windows and spray painted the interior and exterior of this dwelling with profanity as well as racial and religious slurs. While this dwelling is currently being demolished, the vandalism cannot, and will not, be ignored.

The governing body condemns all bias, discrimination, and hateful acts against any individual, race, religion, creed, etc. These

heinous acts attempt to incite nothing but unnecessary unrest and unlawful behavior and will not be tolerated nor accepted by the good people of Jackson. Jackson Township stands firm against this unacceptable type of behavior and will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. The Mayor and Township Council’s commitment to the resident’s safety is second to none.

Therefore, anyone with information is encouraged to work with law enforcement to identify the individual(s) or group(s) involved and bring them to Justice. Please contact the Jackson Police Department at 732-928-1111.

Kittens Showered With Love At Adoption Event

By Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD – About a dozen heartwarming cats and kittens were at a Kitten Shower donation and adoption event – and that’s only a fraction of the animals available for good homes.

This was the 5th annual event, held every year at the Beachwood Fire House, said Tana Wilberg, treasurer of Calling All Cats Rescue. The ultimate goal, of course, was to find homes for the animals.

There were some full grown cats, some just a few months old, and even some just a few weeks old that had to be bottle fed. Cur-

rently, their home is at a rescue in Jackson, but they are waiting for “furever homes.”

Volunteers brought trays of food for the free buffet. There were also several tables set up for crafters and vendors.

A wishing well was set up by the entrance, and it was soon filled with donations of food and supplies for cats.

It’s always a good event for donations – and for adoptions, Wilberg said.

Anyone interested in donating, adopting, fostering, or finding out about future events should “like” Calling All Cats Rescues on Facebook.

Cardiac:

Continued From Page 1 to help revive Victoria.

During the fall, Victoria cracked her tooth and broke her nose before falling unconscious. Upon examination, police found no breathing sounds or pulse.

The officers performed CPR and were successful in regaining a faint pulse, which was quickly lost again. After a few shocks from the department’s defibrillator and some help from the Jackson First Aid Squad, Victoria was brought back from the brink.

Victoria was transported to the Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus and then again to the Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia.

According to Jackson Police, Victoria’s father informed them that she suffers from a heart condition which requires her to have a pacemaker.

“Although the pace maker was not a factor in this incident, it did record that Victoria’s heart rate shot up to 280 bpm where a usual heart rate is around 80 bpm. Because of her heart rate shooting up so high, it led to her going into cardiac arrest before finally

having a heart attack,” stated police.

Victoria’s family was grateful and pleased with the way that the first responders handled the incident, stating they did everything “perfectly” to make sure that Victoria remained alive.

“Victoria has now been outfitted with an upgraded pacemaker which also has a Defib should an event like this ever occur again,” police said. “We are proud to say Victoria is back to leading a full life, and while still under care, should still have a great summer which is what any 15 year old should be looking forward to. Additionally we were advised that since the incident, Victoria has already been back at the Jackson Roller Skating Rink as she is showing no fear! Way to go Victoria!!!”

The entire incident was detailed in a social media post to the department’s Facebook page. While police noted they do not broadcast incidents like this one, they noted that this was a unique case and that Victoria’s family was happy to share her story.

Police thanked the Pyott family for allowing them the opportunity to share, the first responders who saved Victoria’s life, and the township for supplying the department with the equipment necessary to do so.

Shoulder Pain in the Overhead Athlete

S

By: Joel Maietta, DPT, Facility Manager

houlder pain in the overhead athlete is a very common complaint. Considering the fact that separation forces in the shoulder during throwing can equal someone’s own body weight, it is no surprise that pain can occur. This activity requires a combination of strength, coordination, synchronicity, and body control. Because of these factors, shoulder pain is often seen in athletes of all ages as well as any adult who may decide to throw a ball just one time. During a physical therapy evaluation for shoulder pain from throwing, there are multiple parts of the body that need to be assessed. These include shoulder motion, shoulder strength, shoulder blade strength, core strength, as well as lower body strength and flexibility.

In addition to motion, the tendons in including rotator cuff tears, labrum your shoulder known as the rotator tears, and ligament tears. Some of cuff need to be strong and stable these injuries may be severe enough to allow a proper throwing motion. to require surgical repair.

A thorough physical therapy evaluation can assess limitations in all the above areas. An exercise program can then be created to In conjunction with your rotator address these impairments and cuff, it is also necessary to have allow a return to pain-free and proper strength of your shoulder proper throwing. blade, known as your scapular JOEL MAIETTA, DPT stabilizers.

They control the “ball” in the “ball and socket” of your shoulder and without proper strength and stability you can have a shoulder injury while throwing.

Core strength is also an important component of proper throwing form and to decrease injury risk. Core strength, along with lower body strength and flexibility allow the proper distribution of forces along the body as to not stress the shoulder more than necessary.

Team Science: Hearing Help & Hope…

Did you know? People and organizations worldwide are putting funding, expertise, and dedication toward learning more about hearing loss for continued innovative solutions and a possible future cure. Here are three exciting developments: GENETICS Professor Xue Zhong Liu, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Department of Otolaryngology, won a $3 million grant last summer from the National Institutes of Health toward continued research on hearing-loss-related biological treatments and clinical diagnosis. Per a university news release, the professor and his team will use the award for activities such as performing “preclinical studies of gene- and cellbased therapy approach of CRISPR/ Cas9-mediated genome editing to treat hearing loss.” * We’re looking forward to seeing the outcomes of this initiative.

NOISE In a collaboration among the U.S. Depar t ment of Veterans Affairs, the National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research, and the Department of Defense Hearing Center of Excellence, researchers will probe the potential long-term effects of both excess noise exposure — one of the most common and preventable causes of hearing loss — and certain

chemicals on active-duty personnel and veterans. The Noise Outcomes in Service Members Epidemiology study will follow participants for some 20 or more years, collecting and analyzing data on hearing and tinnitus issues and other changes.

TINNITUS Speaking of tinnitus, a common and sometimes debilitating issue often associated with hearing loss and typically involving ringing, buzzing, or other perceived noise in the ears: The British Tinnitus Association, in partnership with Tinnitus Hub, has awarded University of Groningen Ph.D. student Elouise Koops a research grant through its Daniel Ballinger Memorial Fund to study auditory-pathway changes brought on by tinnitus and hearing loss.

The award is relatively small — 5,000 British pounds (about $6,400) — but it contributes to the global hunt for much-needed answers.

These are three exciting developments: As science continues making headway, remember that HELP IS AVAILABLE TODAY! If you’ve experienced changes in your hearing or it’s been a while since your last checkup, please call our caring team at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/ Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) for your appointment now!

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Caffeine Is A Natural Option For ADHD

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Caffeine is the number one stimulant and and psychoactive drug in the world!

The category of ADHD medications such as Concerta, Adderall, Ritalin, Dexedrine and others are “stimulant” drugs, and so is caffeine. They all raise certain compounds in the body such as dopamine and norepinephrine (and others).

Here are 5 reasons why i think this is a good option for some of you: 1. Most all medical treatments for ADHD include a nervous system stimulant, which may sound strange to you, considering the patient appears to be overly active, wound up or unfocused. But this is true, conventional treatment of ADHD utilizes physiological stimulants. Caffeine is a stimulant.

2. A study published in the European Neuropsychopharmacology, concluded that caffeine can normalize dopamine levels (which is exactly what the pharmacy drugs do). Caffeine raises both dopamine and norephinephrine, just like the medications.

3. There was a study that evaluated caffeinated tea. They concluded that “The caffeine in tea can reduce one’s fatigue, increase people’s self-confidence, motivation, alertness, vigilance, efficiency, concentration, and cognitive performance.”

4. So profound is caffeine’s impact on the brain and cognitive function that Stanford University even funded a small study to evaluate if dextroamphetamine is superior to caffeine in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

5. Caffeine has been shown to extinguish the action of adenosine receptors in your brain. This was discussed in a 2014 review article published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology which recommended the use of caffeine for ADHD.

Just like methylphenidate, caffeine begins to work in about an hour, and as you might expect, the effect wears off after about four hours. Both methylphenidate and caffeine are absorbed and physiologically processed in a similar way. Their mechanism of action is the same, as are the side effects! One is a prescription amphetamine drug, the other is America’s favorite hot coffee!

The downside is that caffeine can wear out adrenals if taken long-term. Caffeine content varies with each food and beverage making daily dosing through diet somewhat difficult. With tea, the amount of time that you steep the teabag determines the caffeine content.

Some people find that caffeine helps their ADHD, while others find that it doesn’t offer any benefit at all. Pay attention to your body and work with your doctor/therapist to find out what is right for you. Too much caffeine or excessively high dosing on stimulants medications may cause insomnia, tachycardia, aggression, diarrhea and dehydration.

The intake of caffeinated drinks, caffeine pills or energy drinks containing caffeine or guarana may seem like a nice and exciting alternative to prescription medications, I just want to caution you that if combined with conventional (amphetamine) medications, the impact could be dangerous. As an aside, many studies point to DHA Fish Oil as a useful essential fatty acid, which may be taken with medications or caffeine.

How much caffeine is too much? The United States FDA hasn’t fully defined this but the Canadian government has suggested not to exceed 85 mg in kids aged 10 to 12 years. I have a much more comprehensive version of this article that I can email to you if you sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com

How Can You Protect Yourself From Osteoporosis?

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – Osteoporosis is a common disease, accounting for more than 2 million broken bones per year in the US. Want to prevent yourself from becoming one of the 200 million people suffering from osteoporosis? The Ocean County Health Department is here to help.

The OCHD recognizes May as National

Osteoporosis Month, reminding residents that there are ways to help slow or stop the loss of bone mass and help prevent fractures no matter what your age.

“Osteoporosis is often called a “silent disease” because unfortunately for many people they don’t know they have it until it’s too late. It usually takes breaking a bone before a person is diagnosed with the disease,” stated

Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health.

Start thinking about your bone health and take action now!

The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) recommends these tips to improve bone health and prevent osteoporosis: • Get to know your risk factors: age, gender, lifestyle, medical history, family history and

whether you take any medication or have medical conditions that can lead to bone loss.

• Get active: Do regular weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercise • Eat Your Way to Healthy Bones: Calcium, vitamin D, lean protein, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats are the key to eating for healthy bones.

• Ask your healthcare provider when you should get a bone density test • Don’t smoke and don’t drink too much alcohol: No more than two drinks a day is best for bone health “Bones affected by osteoporosis have lower density or strength which leads to bones becoming more fragile and likely to break.

Osteoporosis causes severe pain, suffering and life-altering loss of mobility - yet it is treatable and even preventable.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Trusts For Minor Children

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Marc S. Galella. Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

Where parents have minor children, they often want to establish trusts in their Wills for the benefit of the minor children in the event that both parents should pass away. In such a case, the money is held in the trust for the benefit of the children.

A person called the “trustee” is appointed by the Will to manage the trust on behalf of the children. Most trusts for the benefit of minor children allow the money to be used for their health, education, maintenance and support. The term “education” usually also refers to college education.

There are several ways to go about doing this. The most common ways are the (1) common trust or (2) the separate trust.

In the common trust, all of the money is held until the youngest child reaches an age specified in the Will. Upon the youngest child reaching the specified age, the monies remaining in the trust are then distributed to all of the children.

In a separate trust, the assets are divided among the children and a separate trust is created for each child and each child receives their trust when the each reach the specified age.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? The advantage of the common trust is that the money is held until the youngest child reaches the specified age. In this way, the trustee can use the money in the trust and if necessary spend more of the money in the trust on one child as opposed to the others. As a parent, most people would be willing to

spend everything they had on one child at the expense of the other children if that child required greater care Marc S. Galella Esq. than the other children.

By using a common trust you give the trustee the flexibility to do this. The drawback to the common trust is that the older children will have to wait a longer period of time to receive their share of the inheritance depending upon the age of the youngest child. This could be a disadvantage if there is a significant age difference between the youngest and oldest child.

The advantage of the separate trust is that each child will receive their share of the estate when they reach the specified age.

This means that the older children do not have to wait for their inheritance until the youngest child reaches the specified age.

The drawback to the separate trust is the trustee can only use the money in that individual child’s trust for the care of that child. If one child requires significantly more care than the other children, the trustee is limited to the amount of money in that child’s trust and cannot use the money in the other trusts.

Which trust is better for you for your is something to be discussed with your estate planning attorney when making up your Will.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Fear Of Planes

Dear Joel, I have a problem that I hope you will be able to help me with. I have been married to my husband for 30 years as of this May and he has a phobia of flying on planes and we just booked our first vacation in almost ten years to Italy. At first, he was okay with the fact that he was going to have to get on an airplane, but last night he told me we should cancel. What should I do? I don’t want this to sound selfish, but I really want to go on this vacation.

Marissa Lake Como, NJ Dear Marissa, Thank you for reaching out to me about this issue. First off, Happy Anniversary.

Secondly, please do not think that you are selfish because you most certainly are not. You got excited for a vacation that has been planned for a long time and now that the date is approaching,

there is a possibility that it won’t happen so your disappointment is totally normal.

As for your husband not wanting to fly on planes, I would remind him that it is very normal to be afraid of flying, but despite what you hear on the news, flying is very safe. I have flown overseas many times and find that the service is much friendlier too because it’s such a long flight. I would also tell him to bring a computer or a phone onto the plane and play some games to get his mind off of being on a plane.

I hope this helps.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen New Take On Caesar Salad Shows Dish’s Versatility

By Wolfgang Puck What makes a recipe food lovers refer to as a classic?

It has to taste delicious and, of course, look beautiful.

It should satisfy the other senses, too, offering enticing aromas, pleasing textures, and even delightful sounds.

A classic should also stand the test of time, regardless of whatever food fads may come or go.

I’d like to add another qualification: A classic must be so good that it’s also versatile, leaving room for some creativity. Professional chefs and home cooks alike come to appreciate the ability such dishes have to seem fresh and new when we want them to.

By such standards, Caesar salad certainly counts as a classic. The improvised creation of restaurateur Caesar Cardini, who whipped it up late one evening in 1924 from odds and ends in his kitchen in Tijuana, Mexico, the dish has long since become a worldwide favorite: a simple yet complex-tasting assemblage of crisp, chilled Romaine lettuce; garlicky croutons; and a rich dressing of egg, garlic, olive oil, Dijon mustard, Parmesan and a hint of canned salted anchovy fillets, which may also be added whole as a garnish.

Restaurant guests today have long since grown accustomed to enjoying Caesar salad as a dinner appetizer or lunchtime main dish, the latter frequently topped with grilled seafood, chicken or steak. I’ve seen several variations: low-fat Caesars in which the dressing’s egg is replaced by creamy, fat-free Greek yogurt; Southwestern Caesar salads seasoned with smoky dried chipotle chilies; and trendy Caesars in which raw kale replaces the Romaine. And, if they’re made with culinary know-how, they all work, as smart variations on a classic often do.

In that spirit, I’d like to share one of my own spins on Caesar salad; this one inspired by the cuisine of southern France, where I spent some of my formative years as a chef cooking under the late, great Raymond Thuilier at his famed, Michelin-starred L’Oustau de Baumaniere. This version keeps the lettuce and dressing largely unchanged.

Its departure from tradition comes in the croutons.

Instead of the usual bread cubes, I start with wider, bite-sized pieces. Before baking, I toss them not only with garlic, olive oil and Parmesan, but also fragrant fresh herbs you might find growing on a Provencal hillside. Then, just before serving, I spread each crouton with tapenade, the classic olive spread of the region, for which I offer an easy, delicious recipe here. Combined with the cold lettuce and fragrant dressing, it all adds up to a Caesar salad that tastes both unmistakably authentic and surprisingly different.

I hope you enjoy this version, which makes a perfect springtime or summer recipe. May it also inspire you to come up with your own variations on a classic!

PROVENCAL CAESAR SALAD WITH TAPENADE CROUTONS Serves 2 to 4 For the tapenade croutons: 1/3 cup (85 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons minced garlic 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano leaves 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves 1-pound (500-g) loaf day-old sourdough bread, cut into slices 1/3 inch (8 mm) thick, slices cut into large bite sized pieces, to get about 2 cups (500 mL) of pieces Black-and-green olive tapenade (recipe follows) For the salad: 2 heads baby romaine lettuce or hearts of romaine, or 1 large head romaine, leaves separated, rinsed well, patted dry thoroughly, wrapped in a clean damp kitchen towel, and chilled in the refrigerator

Caesar vinaigrette (recipe follows) Freshly grated Parmesan cheese Freshly ground black pepper First, make the tapenade croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, stir together the oil, Parmesan, garlic, oregano and thyme. Add the bread, and toss well to coat. Arrange the bread in a single layer on a baking sheet, and bake until golden brown on all sides, turning them about halfway through, about 10 minutes total. Remove from the oven, cool to room temperature, and store in a cool, dry place until ready to use.

For the salad, trim the lettuce and tear into bite-sized pieces; or, if using smaller leaves, keep them whole. Put the lettuce in a large mixing bowl and toss well with enough Caesar vinaigrette to coat evenly.

Arrange the lettuce attractively on chilled salad plates, stacking whole leaves or mounding pieces. Sprinkle with Parmesan and black pepper to taste.

Just before serving, spread a thin layer of black-andgreen tapenade on one side of each crouton. Arrange croutons on top of or around the salads. Serve immediately.

BLACK-AND-GREEN OLIVE TAPENADE Makes 1 heaping cup (250 mL) 1 cup (250 mL) Nicoise olives, pitted 1 cup (250 mL) small green French olives (Picholines), pitted 1/4 cup (60 mL) drained oil-packed sun-dried tomato pieces 1 tablespoon drained capers 1 clove garlic, trimmed and peeled 1 oil-packed anchovy fillet, drained 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves 1/4 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil Put all of the ingredients except the oil in a food processor. Pulse the machine on and off until the ingredients are coarsely chopped and well blended. Turn on the machine and continue processing while slowly adding the oil, until the mixture resembles a coarse puree. Transfer to a covered container and use as needed, storing in the refrigerator for up to one week.

CAESAR VINAIGRETTE Makes about 2 cups (500 mL) 1 large pasteurized egg 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 teaspoon crush red pepper flakes 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 oil-packed anchovy fillets, drained and mashed 1 scant cup (250 mL) peanut oil 1/3 cup (85 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, mustard and anchovies. While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the oils to form a thick emulsion. Stir in the cheese, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to one week, whisking again before use.
