By Bob Vosseller PLUMSTED – The State Department of Environmental Protection held its 10th Annual WILD Outdoor Expo, showcasing New Jersey’s outdoors and opportunities for recreational activities, on Sept. 7-8 at the Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area, 401 Hawkin Rd, New Egypt.

The free expo ran from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days and featured more than 100 exhibits, demonstrations and seminars highlighting wildlife, conservation and New Jersey’s outdoors heritage.

“This event provides a great opportunity for residents and visitors to discover new and exciting

ways to enjoy the great diversity of outdoor experiences that are available in New Jersey,” DEP Commissioner Catherine R. McCabe said.

McCabe added, “this also is a great opportunity for families and people of all ages to appreciate the beauty of our environment, learn about conservation, try

new activities, and see some of our wildlife and aquatic life close up.”

One of the expo’s highlights was a giant mobile aquarium which held a variety of warm-water game fish from the Charles O. Hayford State Fish Hatchery in Hackettstown.

Is It Possible To Beat The Odds?

September Is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

By Kimberly Bosco The NJ Lottery estimates that you have a one in about 300 million chance of claiming that Mega Millions jackpot. National Geographic estimates that you have a one in 700,000 chance of being struck by lightning in the US. These high odds may seem wildly unlikely, yet

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Dr. Teresa Taylor has some large shoes to fill. She took over as special education director recently when Dr. Robert Cerco retired in August after years of service leading that crucial department.

Cerco received high praise by Superintendent Stephen Genco and members of the Board of Education during their August meeting which also included a report on its special education program presented by Assistant Superintendent Nicole Pormilli.

Taylor, who attended her first Board of Education meeting on Sept. 18 as the district’s new director of special education, said she started on Sept. 1 and was ready to work with the 1,400 special education students that the district has in the program.

“That number changes every day,” Taylor said. She previously served as director at the Freehold Regional School District and is a licensed psychologist.

Last month’s presentation focused on the performance of the district’s special education program which was based on how it related to the State Performance Plan (SPP).

The PowerPoint presentation which Cerco helped prepare focused on data collected between Oct. 2016 to Oct. 2017.

As a female, the odds of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer are a strikingly low one in 78. But does every woman take similar precautions to beat those odds? Does every woman get tested?

Expo:

Continued From Page 1 demonstrations, as well as instructional tutorials for new anglers, also took place.

In addition to the mobile aquarium, visitors sharpened their camping and backpacking skills, tested their archery skills, learned how to build a bat box, improved their tree identification skills, and observed birds of prey and reptiles up close.

Other activities included nature photography and educational programs about a variety of activities, such as fishing, kayaking, rock climbing, shooting sports and wildlife watching.

New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife Director Dave Golden said, “we are very fortunate in New Jersey to have many different types of ecosystems to explore and enjoy.”

“The expo provides a great opportunity for people to enhance their enjoyment of these opportunities while learning about the importance of protecting these resources for all to enjoy,” Golden said.

Numerous exhibits, demonstrations and seminars focused on air, water, soil, plants, animals and history. Representatives present provided

advice about fishing, hunting, scuba diving, forestry stewardship and other related subjects.

The expo also included an equipment flea market offering outdoor recreation and other environmental-related products for purchase.

Refreshments were available from food trucks and vendors.

Hatchet tossing, archery and fishing out of a water tank were among some of the recreational activities enjoyed.

Norma Maxfield, South Hackensack, is a member of the Garden State Black Powder group. She was demonstrating her skill at triangle loom weaving. “I’m weaving with one stitch, seven feet across. I’m making a shoal.”

Her fellow GSBPA members were also dressed in period attire, the not-for-profit organization’s mission is to promote and celebrate America’s colonial history from 1740 through 1840. The group gets its name from the shooting of traditional black powder weapons. It’s an educational and recreational organization.

The two-day event also provided a showcase for forest fire prevention by members of the New Jersey Forest Fire Service who distributed materials to attendees and celebrated the 75th birthday of their well-known mascot, Smokey

The Bear.

A giant figure of the forest fighting bear was seen standing tall in a pickup truck next to the group’s table.

“We had a big celebration for Smokey at Liberty State Park on Aug. 9,” Sector Fire Warden Dale Carey said.

While Smokey is a rather friendly fictional bear the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife also distributed a pamphlet to let park visitors “Know the Bear Facts” about black bears in the state.

Some of the bear facts about the native black bears were that they are the largest land mammal in the Garden State and their prime habitat consists of mixed hardwood forests, dense swamps and forested wetlands. They were nearly wiped out a century ago by habitat destruction and indiscriminate killing.

Black bears today are thriving, particularly in the northwestern area of New Jersey. Their range is expanding south and east and black bears have been sighted in all 21 counties of the state. Never fed bears. It is illegal and it is dangerous.

Wolves were on display and some were able to be petted during the event. Among the groups present were Wolf Visions which is dedicated to the education, preservation and restoration to all wolves. Also present were members of the Howling Woods Farm of Jackson which is involved with rescue and adoptions and provides educational programs and tours.

Many of the activities and programs fulfilled Boy Scout and Girl Scout badge requirements.

School:

Continued From Page 1 The data was intended to be used by districts for identifying trends of strength and areas for improvement.

“We’re hitting the target,” Pormilli said regarding overall results, but graduation rates (four years with a diploma) was one area that needed improvement. However, the board and district staffers said that the measurement for this, as it applied to this district, was misleading.

It did meet the target for the dropout rate and assessment data showed that while it met the target in participation it had not in the area of performance. The district did meet its target in the areas of suspension/ expulsion performance and suspension/ expulsion discrepancy.

The pre-school outcomes were collected but not reported and will be available for the next report.

In the category of parent involvement, child find, early childhood transition and secondary transitions and post-secondary outcomes it had not met its target.

“We’ve met some but not other areas,” Pormilli said during the presentation.

Based on the State’s 2017 data, there was an average of 81 percent graduation rate in schools across the state. The Jackson district was at 74.3 percent, which concerns the number of students that remain in the district to age 21.

Cerco and Superintendent Stephen Genco both said during that meeting that in these (School - See Page 5)

As for assessment performance the district did not meet its performance targets for grades 2- high school. This is seen as an area of growth but also an area in need of improvement according to the presentation.

These areas were marked for increased inclusion, data driven instruction and target teacher training. The program noted a culture change that was needed.

“We wanted to expand inclusion and we made it a priority,” Pormilli said. Her presentation concluded with a quote from Desmund Tutu, “inclusive, good-quality education is a foundation for dynamic and equitable societies.”

The Jackson Times, September 28, 2019, Page 5 Taylor concurs with that theme and said on Sept. 18 that some of the district’s initiatives for special education “have already been put into place. Compliancy is a major factor and there is a lot of state monitoring.”

“For me it is about focusing on the best social and educational environment,” Taylor said. She added that her goal was to see the classroom be both socially and emotionally secure “which promotes academic growth.

“I love Jackson and our district is focused on what it needs to do and we have a great staff. I’m bilingual so I’m happy to be able to communicate in Spanish with those students where that kind of need would apply.

“There will be continued focus on areas in need of improvement, changing mindsets and creating inclusive environments that will assist our students in developing skills and strategies to serve them well in being socially emotionally prepared, problem solvers and critical thinkers,” Pormilli said.

Nursing:

Continued From Page 1 OCVTS Asst. Superintendent Nancy Weber-Loeffert said the Foundation donated more than $1 million for the state-of-the-art facility at the center located on Old Freehold Road.

Cassandra Grom, a senior at OCVTS in the second-year clinical program was among the nurses present for the event and who will benefit from the enhancements.

“For a while I had been lost as to what I wanted to do. I had moved from North Jersey to Manchester and became interested in medicine and this program. I think what they have done is great,” she said.

Haley Ingenico, Brick, is also a senior in her second year in the program. “I knew this is what I wanted to do but it is hard to go into the medical

field and to go to college; you start off straight into debt. Now everyone can see this new medical building and they can see another option.

“It looks a lot better but it’s not just a physical change. It provides a positive environment and brings out a positive feeling. It is a phenomenal nursing lab. They’ve been working and expanding this for a while and we’ve been watching it,” Ingenico said.

OCVTS Toms River Center Principal Lillian Zabattieri introduced Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari who serves as liaison to OCVTS. “Today is a great day for us in Ocean County. We offer opportunity here. One of the things we always stress in this county is that if you apply yourself and work hard you will succeed.”

Vicari thank thanked the Hovnanians for their donation adding that they had a desire to elevate (Nursing - See Page 13)

Letters To The Editor Trump Obstructing Justice Trump is a danger to our democracy. Given the overwhelming evidence Mueller presented in his report and testimony, and the willingness of this administration to let foreign powers interfere in our democracy, it’s past time Congress opened a formal impeachment inquiry.

No more excuses. No more delays.

The Mueller investigation found extensive criminal activity committed by Trump and his team. It resulted in 37 indictments and at least seven convictions or guilty pleas, uncovered over 10 instances of obstruction of justice by Trump himself, and revealed over 100 secret meetings and communications between his campaign and Russians and their cronies.

If any other American had obstructed justice as f lagrantly as Trump has, they’d be going to jail.

Our representative needs to step up now, because doing nothing will only embolden Trump to trample over our democratic norms and to keep breaking the law.

Doing nothing sets a dangerous precedent for future presidents.

For all of these reasons, it’s time for our representative to voice their support for a formal impeachment inquiry.

Parents Should Be Able To Opt Out Of LGBTQ Ed I want to thank everyone who reached out to me by e-mail or phone call to show their support for the stand I took at the August and September Barnegat Township meetings, regarding the LGBTQ Curriculum with no opt out option for our children.

Letters To have The Editor Many of you expressed had the opportunity to one who wants to be our exactly what I espoused at those meetings. Our children need to be protected from the special interests whose individuals hold views contrary to what the vast majority in our community embrace. Prior to the shift that has occurred over the past 25 years, education was determined by the citizens of each local community, holding to the standards of that community. That has radically changed, highlighted with the law recently enacted under the authority of the state’s governor.

The historical truth is that families, principally parents, have had the responsibility - and right - to determine how the issue of sex is presented to their children…not the government.

This view was expressed by me at the meetings. In spite of the vile criticism and worse, twisted reporting by the media, the rights of parents, not government, nor the shouting opposition, still holds true and someone needed to say so.

The overwhelming, private response from the members of our town confirms this.

Parents want to guide their children in regards to sexual matters. They do not want to be bullied by the government, or other special interest groups, who should not have control over family matters, such as a child’s sexual education.

Moving forward, the people of the State of N.J. must come together to make our legislature aware that the mainstream of the people want this reversed. Please contact your state representatives and tell them to reinstate your parental rights by repealing Senate Bill 1569.

Again, I offer no apologies.

Although the First Amendment seems to be shredded more and more each day, there is still enough of it left to allow me the legal right to do so. In so doing, my constituents know exactly where I stand.

In closing, I am thankful to

stand-in-the-gap safeguarding the rights of parents and safeguarding the well-being of their children. It is an honor to do so.

Alfonso Cirulli Mayor Barnegat Township

Watch Donations In Toms River Race I believe Toms River residents should be concerned with the unusually cozy relationship between Councilman (and candidate for mayor) Maurice “Mo” Hill and Mr. Scott Gartner - a man who has threatened to sue the town to force changes to zoning laws that sensibly restrict the construction of houses of worship.

According to an ar ticle from the Asbury Park Pre ss (Ju ne 21, 2018), Gartner threatened to sue Toms River, contending that the 10-acre zoning rules for religious buildings were “aimed at preventing the construction of Orthodox Jewish shuls (sy nagog ues).” Gar t ner claimed that he and his neighbors have retained an attorney to pursue the lawsuit and have a “war chest of $500,000.”

Campaign fi nance reports filed in recent months reveal that Hill received a $2,600 donation to his mayor’s campaign from Gar t ner, the maximu m contribution allowed by law. Councilman Hill, a former member of the Toms River land use committee (Planning Board), clearly should not be accepting campaign donations with someone who is lobbying for zoning changes.

T his speaks volu mes about Hill’s judgment and priorities. Toms River citizens deserve an explanation. Toms River deserves better from a sitting councilman, and we certainly deserve better from some-

mayor.

I am r unning against Councilman Hill for mayor in the election this November. If I am fortunate enough to be elected, I will uphold Toms River’s 10-acre zoning rules for religious buildings, which have been in place since 2009. I will not cave to special interest groups.

Plumsted Hires Two New Officers, Promotes Three Others

PLUMSTED –Township Mayor Jack Trotta, members of the Township Committee and Plumsted Police Department took part in a special ceremony on Sept. 12 welcoming a new police officer and honoring those promoted.

During a meeting of the Mayor and Township Committee, Police Chief Earl E. Meroney, Jr. promoted Patrolman Frank Murphy, Patrolman Anthony Covone and Patrolman Gary Schaal to the rank of sergeant. The department also welcomed two new officers, Kevin Leonard and Nicholas Lugo as patrolmen.

Township Clerk, Jennifer Witham administered their oaths of office in front of family, friends, police personnel and Township Deputy Mayor Erik Sorchik and Committeemen Herb Marinari and Leonard Grilletto.

Sgt. Frank Murphy completed the Ocean County Police Academy in 2000 after attending Ocean County College and Seton Hall University. He began his career as an officer with the Seaside Heights Police Department and joined the Plumsted Police Department in 2001. He will be assigned as the department’s supervising evidence officer, field training officer and press information officer.

Sgt. Covone earned his associate’s degree from Ocean County College and graduated from Ocean County Police Academy in 2004. Prior to being hired with the Plumsted Township Police Department he worked as a Class I and II officer for Ship Bottom Police Department. Sgt. Covone will be assigned as the department’s

accreditation manager, vehicle maintenance officer and press information officer.

Sgt. Schaal completed the Ocean County Police Academy in 2008 and began his career as a Class I and II officer for the Seaside Heights Police Department. He was later hired by the Plumsted Police Department in 2010. He will be assigned as the agencies supervising firearms instructor, less lethal instructor and field training officer.

A resident of Manahawkin, Patrolman Leonard graduated from Barnegat Township High School in 2011. He attended The Ocean County Police Academy and graduated in May of 2019.

Leonard previously worked for the Point Pleasant Beach Police Department. Within the hiring process, Leonard excelled in the oral boards and background investigation earning him one of the top two overall spots. He will be assigned to a Field Training officer for an eight-week field training and evaluation program.

A resident of Berkley, Patrolman Lugo graduated from Toms River High School North in 2011. He attended Ocean County College and currently attends Kean University pursuing his bachelor’s degree.

Lugo worked for the Berkeley Township Police Department and graduated from the Ocean County Police Academy in May of 2017.

He also excelled in the oral boards, and background investigation earning him one of the top two overall spots. Lugo will be assigned

“This proud day would not be possible without the continued support of Mayor Trotta and the Township Committee. With sincerity and appreciation, we thank them for their continued support of our Police Department and its members.

We wish the new sergeants and newly hired officers the best of luck in the next chapters of

their careers,” Meroney said.

Mayor Trotta said he was “extremely proud of our police department and its members.”

“This department has come a long way under the leadership of Chief Meroney along with Lieutenant Reilly. We couldn’t ask for a finer group of officers. Congratulations to our new sergeants and new officers,” Trotta said.

Awareness:

Continued From Page 1 The Silent Killer September is widely recognized as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in an effort to shed light on the “silent killer” that is ovarian cancer. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ovarian cancer causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system.

Ovarian cancer ranks in the top 10 cancers by rates of new cases, and in the top four by rates of cancer deaths, which means that “for every 100,000 women, 10 new Ovarian Cancer cases were reported and 7 died of cancer,” according to CDC data.

The National Women’s Health Network calls ovarian cancer the “silent killer,” due to its non-specific symptoms and lack of early detection tests. This makes it hard to detect at the earlier stages, i.e. stage I or II. The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC) states that “when one is diagnosed and treated in the earliest stages, the five-year survival rate is over 90 percent…If caught in stage III or higher, the survival rate can be as low as 28 percent.”

The NOCC added that, due to the nature of the disease, it is nearly impossible to provide a generalized prognosis for any and all women diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

Strong-Minded Survivors With such odds, you might already know or have met someone who has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Perhaps you know of a survivor, one like Stephanie LeBrocq.

LeBrocq, 52, of Toms River was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in December 2018.

About eight months later, she spoke with Jersey Shore Online about her disease, recovery, and hope for the future.

As the NOCC stated, those diagnosed in the later stages have a slim chance of survival.

Diagnosed at stage III, LeBrocq was determined to beat the odds.

In April 2018, LeBrocq visited her doctor after experiencing severe pelvic pain.

Pelvic pain is one of the many “non-specific” symptoms associated with ovarian cancer. Other symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, trouble eating or feeling full quickly, or feeling the need to urinate urgently or often, according to the NOCC. In June 2018, she was informed that her CA 125 (cancer antigen 125) was elevated and was advised to see an oncologist.

CA 125 is a “tumor-associated protein.”

Physicians can perform a CA 125 test that will allow them to measure the amount of the CA 125 protein in your blood. Ovarian cancer is one of a few certain cancers that cause CA 125 levels to increase dramatically.

In September 2018, LeBrocq underwent surgery to have her first ovary removed after her doctor told her it was “borderline cancerous.”

In November 2018, she had a full hysterectomy.

The National Women’s Health Network noted that some forms of ovarian cancer can be successfully treated with the “removal of the ovaries and nearby reproductive organs, followed by chemotherapy to kill any re-

However, early detection is key. LeBrocq’s cancer was not detected at an early enough stage, thus this method proved unsuccessful for her.

In December 2018, LeBrocq received her diagnosis. Dr. ElSahwi at Ocean Medical Center diagnosed her with stage III ovarian cancer, which was invading her omentum, a part of the stomach and intestines.

“I was completely devastated,” she said.

Her doctor prescribed six rounds of chemotherapy which she dove into in January 2019.

“One thing that helped me a lot was that Dr. ElSahwi kept telling me that I was going to be okay,” said LeBrocq.

Between January and May, LeBrocq underwent chemo, which she said was extremely hard for her. Despite the pain, she worked hard to keep a positive outlook.

“It literally felt like you could feel it going through your body…I don’t even know how to describe it,” she said. “It felt like I was in a fog, and nauseous.”

The effects of chemo only added to her initial symptoms. LeBrocq noted that when she first went to the doctor in April, she was doubled over with pelvic pains and throwing up.

“Losing my hair was the hardest, I mean, I’m a hairdresser,” she joked.

By the time May rolled around, LeBrocq had been poked and prodded countless times, lost all her hair, and made it out the other side to great news: her scans were clear.

A second round of scans in August only confi rmed that LeBrocq had beaten her cancer.

Now nearly five months cancer-free, LeBrocq said she “lives everyday like it’s my last.”

LeBrocq, who is married with two kids, is no stranger to tragedy. Five years ago, LeBrocq lost her son. After facing what she considers the worst pain of her life, she knew she could and would beat her cancer.

“I learned that life is precious and you just have to keep going,” she added.

Beat The Odds LeBrocq’s advice for any women who Family Owned & Operated

might be experiencing “even slight symptoms,” is to “go get checked right away.”

If you do not show any signs or symptoms of ovarian cancer – such as pelvic or abdominal pain, etc. – it may be a challenge to get screened for the disease. The CDC noted that when no symptoms are present, there is “no simple and reliable way” to screen for ovarian cancer.

However, the CDC’s advice is this: pay attention to your body. Take stock of what is normal for your body, and pay close attention to any changes that may occur.

“If you notice any changes in your body that are not normal for you and could be a sign of ovarian cancer, talk to your doctor about them,” stated the CDC. Diagnostic tests used to detect or rule out ovarian cancer include a rectovaginal pelvic exam, a transvaginal ultrasound, or a CA-125 blood test.

Although those with family and personal histories of breast, ovarian and colon cancer are at an increased risk, the NOCC said every woman is at risk.

The NOCC recommends every woman age 18 and older have an annual vaginal exam, women age 35 and older a rectovaginal exam. Those with a higher risk for ovarian cancer should have transvaginal sonograms and CA-125 blood tests, which detect a protein produced by ovarian cancer cells, though those tests can produce false positives.

Women with a family history of breast or ovarian cancers should consider genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations.

Those genes help suppress tumors, but when mutated, lead to an increased chance of cancer development.

The National Cancer Institute advises that women should consider genetic testing if they were diagnosed with breast cancer before age 50; they have cancer in both breasts; family members have been diagnosed with both breast and ovarian cancer; there are multiple breast cancers in one family; there are cases of male breast cancer in the family; or the family is of Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity.

While these are all precautionary measures, not everyone catches the disease in time. For those women who might be embarking on a battle of their own with ovarian cancer, LeBrocq offered the following advice: “You’re going to be okay…stay strong-minded… push through it…have hope.”

ARounD tHe JeRsey sHoRe Countdown To Chowderfest 2019

—Photo by William Clanton Chowderfest celebrated 30 years of food and fun at the 2018 event. This year’s Chowderfest Weekend will be held on Oct. 5 and 6 at Bay Village in Beach Haven.

By Kimberly Bosco LONG BEACH ISLAND – And the countdown begins. The 2019 Chowderfest Weekend kicks off on October 5 with the Merchant Mart.

Ben Giovine, the district director for the office of Rep. Andy Kim, (D-3rd District) presented a plaque during the ceremony thanking those responsible for the new addition.

OCVTS Acting Superintendent Karen Homiek also thanked the Hovnanians. “Thanks to your philanthropic generosity, you made this dream a reality. What was dull and uninviting is now new

and exciting.”

Homiek described the new nursing lab saying it provides “a real life setting for the clinical experience.”

Hirair and Anna Hovnanian’s daughter Edele Hovnanian said “we give a lot of grants away but this one was very important. I think this vocation has not gotten the recognition it needs. This is a calling not a compromise.”

Also in attendance were Freeholder Director Virginia Haines, Freeholder Gary Quinn, Ocean

Audiologist Making House Calls

In the old days, many Doctors made house calls to patients when the word “specialist” did not exist. It is extremely rare to see this in the 21st Century, however, there are several select companies that do offer this service such as Visiting Nurses Association (VNA) and/or similar groups. Concierge services are now being offered by certain physician groups whereby you pay an “upfront” fee and you have a more direct channel to the Doctor when you need them. Concierge services clearly exist with Primary Care Physician’s, Internal Medicine, Podiatry, Optometry, Dental, and Veterinary practices. These practices are trying to provide an “exceptional service package” and you pay extra for these services.

Garden State Hearing & Balance Center (GSHBC) realizes the importance of extending their hearing care services outside of our three office locations (Toms River, Manahawkin, & Whiting). For example, there are hundreds of residents living in continuing care facilities such as Crestwood Manor, Harrogate, The Pines at Whiting and many others who cannot get out to see their doctors.

Many of these facilities bring the healthcare professional to the resident. GSHBC provides these services to many of these facilities, and trust me, the residents are so grateful! Granted, many residents are independent enough to hire transportation to see their doctors, however,

it can become quite expensive to do so. Thus, these continuing care facilities make an effort as part as their value proposition to offer as many on-site healthcare services as possible to their residents.

Equally important…there are many folks that are non-ambulatory and find it extremely difficult to leave their home. Many of them are wheel chair bound, on 24/7 oxygen due to COPD and/or have significant health issues. Hearing loss is very prevalent in this type of population and these folks need our help as well. GSHBC has never advertised or promoted this service, even though we have been making “house calls” for over 25 years. In my opinion, there is an increasing need for hearing care services to these specific individuals because our population is living longer and longer. We believe that everyone’s quality of life can be enhanced with improved hearing. We also know that untreated hearing loss in these populations increase the risk of cognitive decline, memory loss, and social isolation.

If you know of someone who is suffering from hearing loss and does not have the transportation means to see us, we will be happy to come to their home or place of residence. For additional information, please feel to speak to Dr. Izzy Kirsh at 732-818-3610 or email to: ikirsh@gardenstatehearing.com.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting (expanded hours!), and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

H eRe ’ s t o Y ouR H eAltH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Popular Heartburn Medicine May Be Laced With NDMA

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. The news broke on September 13, with a statement from the Dr. Janet Woodcock, the Director at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. This is a day that will go down in history.

According to the statement, “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has learned that some ranitidine medicines, including some products commonly known as the brand-name drug Zantac, contain a nitrosamine impurity called N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) at low levels. NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen (a substance that could cause cancer) based on results from laboratory tests. NDMA is a known environmental contaminant and found in water and foods, including meats, dairy products, and vegetables.”

Part of how it hurts us is by rendering inactive two powerful antioxidant ‘cleansing’ enzymes in the liver. The first one being catalase, and the second one being glutathione. These two enzymes are used to neutralize poisons in the body. NDMA is hepatotoxic!

We get into NDMA when we eat bacon and hot dogs, cold-cuts and cured meats. It’s in cheese, beer and chewing tobacco. But in our stomach medicine?!

The FDA is not issuing a drug recall and advising that everyone remain on their medication. In other words, they don’t want you to panic and stop taking it during their evaluation. Traces of this carcinogen were found by a Connecticut lab in both the brand name drug, and a few generic samples that were tested. They did not test every single brand that you see on the shelves. They did not yet publicly name the brands that are

tainted. But there was enough found for the FDA to start warning consumers.

When most people think of a generic drug, they think that there is just one generic maker of that drug. But that’s not true at all. There are dozens of manufacturers of the generic version called “ranitidine.” Not all of the generic makers have this NDMA problem.

So again, finding NDMA in a handful of samples does not mean that every single generic version of ranitidine is contaminated.

As for other H2 receptor antagonists in the same category as ranitidine, there is nothing to be worried about yet: Cimetidine (Tagamet), famotidine (Pepcid) and nizatidine (Axid).

By the way, this isn’t the first problem with NDMA. In June 2019, the FDA issued a recall for the blood pressure drug called losartan “over small amounts of carcinogen.”

One more thing regarding the PPI drugs such as Prilosec (omeprazole), Nexium (esomeprazole) and Prevacid (lansoprazole).

These medications have not been evaluated or found to be contaminated with any NDMA. But if you take them, just support yourself with a good magnesium supplement because they are strong drug muggers.

According to the Toxicology Data Network, some symptoms that might occur if you’re poisoned with NDMA include nausea/vomiting, cramps, diarrhea, liver damage, enlarged liver, fatigue, headache and kidney problems. If you are not dependent on your heartburn medicine, consider some natural alternatives that could suppress acid and/or coat and soothe your stomach. I have those articles posted at my website to help you.

A Brief Introduction to Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) By: Olivia Santa Maria, DPT WHAT IS SOFT TISSUE?

TREATED WITH IASTM?

The term “Soft tissue” refers to the fascia (connective tissue), muscles, tendons, and ligaments that make up the body. Injuries to these areas are a common cause of pain and dysfunction that causes patients to seek the assistance of a physical or occupational therapist. There are a variety of techniques used to treat these conditions, including exercise, modalities, and manual therapies.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is one of the manual techniques a physical or occupational therapist can use to treat these injuries.

The different shapes and edges of the tools allow the clinician to use them around all of the different contours of the body, which make them useful for most conditions seen in the clinic. These tools can be used to break down scar tissue after surgery, decrease pain caused by sprains and strains to ligaments and muscles, reduce swelling/edema, and alleviate nerve restrictions. Common conditions that warrant use of IASTM treatment are joint replacements,

there may be some soreness or discomfort.

It is important to not be alarmed by these symptoms, and recognize that these are temporary symptoms being closely monitored by your therapist. After several treatments, there should be a noticeable change in mobility and function. IASTM, combined with your

WHAT IS IASTM, AND WHY IS IT USED? When soft tissue injuries occur, the natural processes of the body lay down new cells to heal the injury. These cells are often laid down in a disorganized pattern and they can bind to the underlying tissues, ultimately restricting the mobility of these structures. Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization involves the use of tools to mobilize the soft tissue structures of the body. These tools come in many shapes and sizes, and are made of a variety of materials, such as stainless steel, plastic, jade, and ceramic. While the tools may differ in shape and material, they share the common purpose of assisting the clinician with mobilizing the injured soft tissue in order to reduce adhesions (scar tissue), increase blood flow to the injured area, and encourage healing of the damaged tissue.

WHAT INJURIES ARE MOST COMMONLY

exercise program, can help you return to your normal daily activities and hobbies.

Rotator cuff tears and surgical repairs, plantar fasciitis, muscle strains, and tendonitis.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? Your physical or occupational therapist will evaluate you at your initial visit to determine if your condition warrants the use of IASTM. This will not be the primary treatment, but rather one technique your therapist uses to assist in your recovery. The technique itself involves the clinician using the tool in a scraping motion along the surface of the skin. In order to “re-start” the healing process, your therapist is causing a micro-trauma to the injured area to encourage the body to heal itself. Therefore, temporary redness, heat sensation, and sometimes bruising are normal immediately following treatment, and

OLIVIA SANTA MARIA, DPT Olivia graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Health and a Minor in Gerontology from The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in 2012. She continued her education at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ in Newark, where she received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2015.

While in graduate school, Olivia and her fellow colleagues conducted a study entitled “For individuals with lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries, do off-the- shelf video games, compared to standard of care, improve balance, function, and patient satisfaction?” The abstract was accepted and Olivia presented the poster at the National Combined Section Meeting in 2015.

Since graduating in 2015, Olivia’s primary professional focus has been in the orthopedic outpatient setting, although she has also worked and completed clinical experiences in both acute care and acute rehabilitation. Olivia is a certified LSVT Big clinician, and she has been trained in Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. Olivia is interested in non-operative and operative orthopedic conditions, sports rehabilitation, balance and gait dysfunction, and manual therapy. Her future professional plans include becoming a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist.

Inside The Law Time To Review Your Will

Robert C. Shea Esq.

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

The beginning of a New Year is a good time to review your estate planning documents.

Let’s start with your Last Will and Testament. Have you reviewed it in the last year?

If not, now is a good time. First, look at the persons who you have appointed as your executor, guardian and trustee. Are those persons still capable of acting in that capacity? Are they still willing to act? Is there any reason why you would not want them to act under your Will?

Review the specific bequests and devises in your Will. This is the part of the Will where you leave specific items, real estate or money to specific persons. Are those persons still worthy of receiving those assets? Are there additional persons that you want add to your Will? Do you still own the items identified in your Will? Are there any other items that you want to leave to specific persons?

Review the persons named in your Will who are receiving the remainder of your estate.

Are those persons still deserving of your assets? If you are leaving your estate in different percentages to your beneficiaries, are those percentages still what you want? Are they any other persons who you want to add to your Will? Are any of the persons named in your Will incapacitated or receiving governmental benefits? Perhaps the assets left to those persons are best left in a trust.

Review your Power of Attorney. Are the persons you appointed in that document still ca- Marc S. Galella Esq. pable of acting for you?

Do they still want to act on your behalf? Are there other persons who you want to name to act for you? Is there any reason why a person that you named should no longer act for you? Do you have a Power of Attorney? Maybe you did not need one the last time you prepared a Will, but maybe you should consider preparing one now.

Review your Living Will. Ask yourself the same questions as your Power of Attorney. Has there been any changes in your medical conditions that would change the medical directives in your current Living Will?

If after reviewing your current estate planning documents you feel that they should be changed, now is the time to discuss your concerns with an estate planning attorney.

The attorneys at R. C. Shea and Associates have over 100 combined years of preparing estate planning documents. Call us to schedule an appointment to review your documents with you.

Fundraiser Organized For Child Suffering Rare Ailment

–Photo courtesy GoFundMe

By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – A borough family has organized a GoFundMe campaign to secure funds for their 5 ½ year old son who is suffering from a rare brain condition.

“Doing this is so hard but I know we need the help. We do not know where to turn at this point. Our hearts hurt so badly. Our beautiful son, Charles, has been given the

biggest challenges a child could go through,” his mother Ashely Massa said.

Charles has had three brain surgeries and two spinal surgeries as well as eight other surgeries and is going in for foot surgery on Nov. 1.

“Our biggest struggle is something called Chiari Malformation which is when the cerebellum tonsils herniate past the Fora-

men Magnum. There are numerous different types and Charles started with Chiari 1 Malformation and now has Chiari 1.5 Malformation,” Massa said.

The difference is now Charles’ brainstem is herniating as well. “This is causing him numerous issues and he is getting worse and worse. He has had two decompressions,” Massa said, explaining that this type of surgery is meant to help with the symptoms-it does not go away and has had a shunt placement after he developed Hydrocephalus following his operation.

Family members were heartbroken after learning the results of his latest MRI which showed Charles “needs to get to California to see the only neurosurgeon that could possibly help. He is our only hope and just to get the second opinion for him to look at his imaging and everything is $700,” Massa said.

The family wants to fly out to see the neurosurgeon. “We are not guaranteed flights with any organization but no matter what I would need to pay for my mom since she would need to come with me to help with our daughter,” Massa said.

Hotel costs are also a concern of the family as a room at the hospital is not guaranteed.

“With that comes a rental car, food and things like that. Insurance will not be paying for this appointment or future appointments or surgeries in California,” Massa said.

Massa said that she learned from other

families that have done what they are planning that the hospital will possibly make a payment plan “but even then we cannot afford it.”

Charles sees over 10 specialists at this point and most of them are in Philadelphia which means at minimum a two hour drive at $20, $5 tolls and $4 for parking from their Ocean County home.

Massa’s son now has epilepsy “that we think is because of his Chiari and the damage it is causing. It isn’t just Chiari that he suffers from, at 15 months old he was diagnosed with DiGeorge Syndrome which is a chromosomal deletion,” Massa said.

“This causes numerous things as well including immune issues that cause Charles to need to go to Childrens Hospital Of Philadelphia monthly for IVIG therapy.

The funds from the gofundme campaign will be used various expenses while Charles and family members are in California.

“It is becoming harder and harder to afford traveling to CHOP,” Massa said. She added that after surgery “we will need funds for us to be out of work and in California.

Massa expressed thanks to those that have supported the family’s effort. “This is our last option and we do not know what else to do. Thank you for your support.”

Ocean County Offering 2020 Census Job Opportunities

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – For those that are looking for work or perhaps just a little extra income, Ocean County can help. There is still six months left until the 2020 Census and the Census Bureau is looking to recruit hundreds of thousands of workers to help with the count.

“The U.S. Census is looking to hire our residents for 2020 Census jobs. Ocean County residents in particular are needed to fill these jobs and help ensure a complete and accurate count in the County,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the 2020 Census. “From neighborhood canvassers to office workers, the U.S. Census is hiring people to make certain a complete count is taken in 2020.”

These temporary positions can include census takers, recruiting assistants, office staff, and supervisory staff.

The 2020 Census will help to determine New Jersey’s representation in the US

House of Representatives, as well as direct how over $675 billion in federal funds are distributed to the states annually for Medicaid, Pell Grants, school lunch programs, transit and more.

“These jobs are your chance to play a part in history and help ensure that everyone in your community is counted,” said Vicari.

“This will ensure our schools, hospitals, and businesses all receive the federal funding needed to best serve you.”

If you’re interested in applying, visit 2020census.gov/en/jobs.

To be eligible for a 2020 Census job, you must: • Be at least 18 years old.

• Have a valid Social Security number.

• Be a U.S. citizen.

• Have a valid email address.

• Complete an application and answer assessment questions. (Some assessment questions are available in Spanish. However, an English proficiency test may also be

required.)

• Be registered with the Selective Service System or have a qualifying exemption, if you are a male born after Dec. 31, 1959.

• Pass a Census-performed criminal background check and a review of criminal records, including fingerprinting.

• Commit to completing training.

• Be available to work flexible hours, which can include days, evenings, and/or weekends.

Many of the 2020 Census positions do require you to have access to a vehicle as well as possess a valid driver’s license, unless public transportation is readily available.

You must also have access to a computer with internet and an email account.

“These temporary positions come with competitive wages, weekly paychecks, flexible hours and paid training,” Vicari said. “They are available to anyone that can meet the requirements.”

Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines added that the Census Bureau is

committed to hiring people to work in the area where they live.

“Working where you live is a benefit to the Census Bureau,” Haines said. “You have a good working knowledge of your area and that is a helpful advantage.”

According to the Census Bureau, if you are employed elsewhere, your current job must be compatible with Census Bureau employment and not create confl icts of interest.

These will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Also, you must not engage in any partisan political activity while on duty. The Census Bureau is an equal opportunity employer.

If you are a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. armed forces and were separated under honorable conditions, you may be eligible for veterans’ preference.

For more information, contact your area census office at 1-855-JOB-2020 (1-855-5622020) and select option 3. You may also use the Federal Relay Service at 1-800-877-8339 for TTY/ASCII.

Add the onions, carrots, celery, leeks, parsnips, garlic, and shallots. Sauté, stirring frequently, until tender but not yet browned, 7 to 10 minutes.

With cheesecloth and kitchen string, tie the parsley, thyme, bay

Add the chicken, stock, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hours.

Pour the bouillon through a fine strainer over a large mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and sugar.

To serve, reheat the bouillon in a large pot over medium heat.
