JACKSON – The chance to complete some push-ups was also an opportunity to help find a cure for muscular dystrophy. The Jar of Hope Push-up Challenge at the football field of the Justice Com-plex on June 4 featured participants including local first responders from multiple towns. They each paid to participate, and buy t-shirts, with funds go-ing toward Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a degenerative muscle wasting disease that takes away a child’s ability to function.

ARE YOU ONE OF THE 44 MILLION AMERICANS SUFFERING FROM OSTEOPOROSIS OR OSTEOPENIA?

Through research, the medical community

has discovered methods not only to combat Osteoporosis, but also prevent it. In order to treat this condition, let’s discuss the facts.

• Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become thin and porous, decreasing bone strength and leading to increased risk of breaking a bone. • During their lifetime 50% of all women and 25% of all men over the age of 50 will have an osteoporosis related fracture. • Fractures from osteoporosis are more common than heart attack, stroke and breast cancer combined.• Women and men alike begin to lose bone in their mid-30s. As they approach menopause, women lose bone at a greater rate, from 2-3% per year due to hormonal changes.

RISK FACTORS: Age, sex, tobacco/alcohol use, vertebralcompression fracture, fragility fracture, familyhistory of hip fracture, medical conditions or useof medications that inhibit absorption of nutrients or contribute to bone loss.

HELP IS OUT THERE:Over the past 20 years, treatment and prevention of osteoporosis have come a long way. Solutions can be broken down into 3 categories.

1. Physical Therapy:

By far the most conservative treatment for Osteoporosis is exercise through Physical Therapy. With the correct exercise program, the human body has the ability not only to prevent the loss of bone density, but also increase bone strength via the S.A.I.D. Principle (Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands). By effectively increasing the strain or

MICHAEL YORKEMichael graduated with honors

from Gettysburg College in 1997, majoring in Exercise Science with a focus in Athletic Training. He continued his education at Hahnemann University earning a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy in 1999.

Michael has continued to expand his knowledge through continuing education hours with focus in Orthopedics as well as Geriatric Medicine. He has completed courses in the treatment of osteoporosis and postural changes. In 2005, Michael opened All-Care Physical Therapy Center with focus on personal, one-on-one, hands-on care. Michael has been a member of the American Physical Therapy Association since 1997. Michael’s experience has led him to develop an innovative, pain-free approach to physical therapy.

load on specific bone groups, we are able to facilitate bone mass development. Such activities must be specifically designed to stress bones in a safe manner. These exercises, in conjunction with manual therapy techniques to elongate muscle tissue and reduce compression forces on the bone, can drastically reduce the incidence of fractures. A physical therapist can determine if a simple exercise program can alleviate your symptoms.

2. Nutrition:

Nutrition and lifestyle play a key role in bone loss. Individuals who are not receiving adequate nutrition (low calcium or Vitamin D) or an excessive intake of protein, sodium and caffeine are considered at increased risk. Interventions such as calcium or vitamin supplements have been recommended for many individuals, as research has indicated that 1200-1500mgs of calcium a day along with 7-80 IU of Vitamin D reduced the fracture rate in post-menopausal women by 50%. This is generally a conservative approach and may help in the prevention of Osteoporosis in the post-menopausal female.

Research has shown that the body is better able to utilize calcium consumed in foods such as dairy products, oatmeal, tofu, soy seaweed, dark green vegetables, fish and some types of nuts. For those who are lactose intolerant (meaning they are unable to breakdown calcium into a bone building product) lactase drops may be utilized.

3. Pharmacology:

One of the biggest developments over the past 20 years in the treatment and prevention of Osteoporosis has been in pharmacology. Initially, Hormone Replacement Therapy was the most common intervention. Currently, Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (such as Nolvadex, Evista, Fareston) are more commonly recommended for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women.

Antiresorptive medications or Biophosphates (such as Fosamax, Boniva, Actonel, Reclast, Fortical

and Miacalcin) are now commonly utilized in the treatment of osteoporosis. Biophosphates work by preventing bone destroying osteoclasts from digesting bone.

The final class of pharmacological treatment is a bone forming medication known as Forteo. This is generally prescribed for those osteoporotic patients at high risk for fracture. Currently the FDA only recommends the utilization of this class of drug for 2 years due to potential side effects.

SPECIALIZED TREATMENT

At All-Care Physical Therapy, we specialize in the treatment and prevention of Osteoporosis and Osteopenia. We are one of the only facilities in Ocean County that have been certified in the treatment of Osteoporosis. It is essential that a physical therapist is aware of the risks of treating Osteoporosis and understand the most optimal therapeutic interventions to not only prevent the progression, but combat the disease itself.

he saw the scary movies.” “I always thought he had a good look,” Jim said. “He was always very animated and liked to be adventurous. He liked putting on old Halloween costumes and dressing up.” The rest, as they say, is history, and Cam-eron has been so busy in the six months since he started modeling and acting that he has actually told his parents that he wants to slow down a bit. The seventh-grader at Goetz Middle School doesn’t want to keep missing so much classwork that, yes, he has to make up. His first job was an ad campaign for East-point Sports. He’s described on his resume as “boy playing with sports equipment, toys and games.” In his short time acting and modeling, he’s done commercials, television shows, film, theater and even a music video.” He’s been on Blue Bloods, The Family, and Gotham, and will appear in The Girl on the Train. He was directed by ‘80s heartthrob Andrew McCarthy on an episode of The Family. “Did you know who Andrew McCarthy was?” The Jackson Times asked. “No,” Cameron said. “To us it was a big deal!” Jim said. Cameron’s biggest role to date is coming up on a June episode of Mysteries at the Mu-seum on The Travel Channel. Although still a nonspeaking part, he’s the main character in a segment about. “They saw him and called him to be the

main character,” Jim said. “He looks like the boy. In 1928—the segment is called ‘The Improbable Impostor’ -- a boy leaves Iowa to go to Hollywood. It’s a featured role, no speaking, but he’s the main character. The boy goes out to California because he saw that a boy was missing—it’s a true story—and goes out there and says he’s the boy, and come to find out the boy was actually kidnapped and murdered.” “Sometimes it’s a matter of having the right look for that part,” Jim added. So for Cameron right now, he’s having fun and making a bit of money to put away. He’s not sure he’ll continue acting, but doesn’t rule it out either. While Lisa and Jim are proud of their son, they do have to balance two full-time jobs and Cameron’s schooling in order to take these acting gigs. “At this age I don’t think they realize how cool it is, and how neat it is to experience this. That’s what I’m hoping, that he will eventually be like, ‘Wow, I’m am really lucky that I get to experience these things. And I was hoping that if he’s not head over heels in love with acting in the future that maybe he work in the film industry,” Jim said. And while he doesn’t have a particular television show he’s aiming to work on, he does have his favorite genre of show. “I like the house shows. I just like watching them, and the cooking shows,” Cameron said, who added that if acting doesn’t work out, he’d like to be a professional chef. With his own show, perhaps? What’s his specialty? “Fried rice,” Cameron said.

JACKSON – The Jackson United Methodist Church, 68 Bennetts Mills Road, is holding Anchors Away Summer Camp from July 5 to 29.

crafts and recreation. Each week would focus on a specific theme that the children would engage in throughout the week. Week One is Sports Camp. Week Two is Science, Crafts and Cooking.

“The alligator was identif ied as an American Alligator which reportedly has the potential to grow to approx-imately 8 to 11 feet in length. It is suspected that an area resident had the animal as a pet and as it grew, released it into the lake,” he said. Animal control took the alligator to a

and sophomore shortstop Adelle Hick-man (Jackson Liberty) won second-team all-region and second-team all-conference honors. Named third-team all-region and third-team all-conference were freshman pitcher-outfielder Marissa Stadtmauer and freshman catcher Stephanie Healy (Pinelands). Through the Region XIX Tournament, Molnar hit .548 (63-for-115). She set the school career record for home runs (seven), including six this season. She drove in 44 runs and scored 56. She added 10 doubles and nine triples and sped to eight steals in eight attempts. The former Jaguar is headed to William Paterson University. “She has a lot of our records,” Mazanec said. “She is probably our all-time leader in runs scored and runs batted in. She has a quick bat and can drive the ball to all fields. She has really good speed on the bases and is an excellent baserunner.” Hussey went 16-4 through the nationals to tie OCC’s single-season wins record. The owner of a 26-9 career record, she leaves with the highest wins total in school history. She was named the Region XIX Pitcher of the Year in 2016. “She is what I consider a true pitcher as she does not throw that hard,” Mazanec said. “She has good movement. I would say her out pitch is her curveball. She moves the ball in and out and up and down and gets the hitters off balance.”

Softball:Continued From Page 1

Among the greatest women’s athletes in OCC history, Szymczyk also starred in basketball and volleyball. Szymczyk, who will play basketball for Rowan Univer-sity, batted .545 (61-for-112) through the Region IX Tournament. She plated 52 runs, scored 30 and hit three homers and 15 doubles. Szymczyk and Molnar were among the Division III leaders in batting average. “I consider April a power hitter and a great defensive first baseman,” said Mazanec, who was assisted by Elise Wein-berger and Mickey Minnitti. “She was a free swinger -- not someone who looked to cut down on her swing. On defense, she has great hands and is aggressive. She is excellent at fielding bunts and she can han-dle all of the throws from the infielders. She dug a lot of balls out of the dirt. She made three errors in 233 total chances.” Binshedler batted .419 through the Re-gion XIX Tournament. She scored 57 runs and drove in 21. Among her hits were nine doubles, two homers and three triples. “She hit leadoff,” Mazanec said. “She was very steady. She had a lot of respon-sibility at second base and made all of the plays. She turns the double play as well as anyone I have ever seen. She got on base and got us started. She and Hickman made for a great double play combination.” Hickman stung the ball at a .521 clip (63-for-121) through the Region XIX Tour-nament. She knocked in 28 runs, scored 52 and hit one homer and seven doubles. She will attend William Paterson.

“She moved from second base to short-stop this year for the betterment of the team,” Mazanec said. “She helped set the table for Molnar and Szymczyk.” Stadtmauer was named the Most Valuable Player of the team’s best-of-three series against Cumberland County College in the Region XIX Tournament in which she won both games, allowing one run in seven innings. Prior to displaying her pitching prowess, she was best known for her offense as she hit .434 through the Region XIX Tournament. “She was our third pitcher for most of the year,” Mazanec said. “She started in left field for 95 percent of our games. In the re-gions, our top two pitchers had difficulty, but she came in and shut things down in both games. We had one foot in the grave.” Healy hit .462 through the Region XIX Tournament. She drove in 24 runs and scored 20. She hit one homer, three triples and eight doubles.

“She was an aggressive baserunner,” Mazanec said. “She was a good defensive catcher who really took charge in the infield.” The Vikings also received contributions from sophomore outfielder Brianna Va-fiadis (Central Regional), freshman third baseman-outfielder Bridgette Badalis (Roselle Catholic), freshman infielder Emily Dancisin (Pinelands), freshman outfielder Kristin Kolisz (Ossining, N.Y.), freshman catcher-second baseman Mack-enzie Darmstatter (Barnegat), freshman outfielder Caitlyn Linstra (Lacey) and freshman pitcher Stephanie Havens (Jack-son Memorial). Early in the season, OCC went 6-2 on a trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C. The team raised funds with the aid of the OCC Foundation, local businesses, families and friends. “We knew we could be good when we fin-ished the trip,” Mazanec said. “We saw we had some power, defense and pitching.”

An American Alligator’s natural hab-itat is freshwater swamp land, found in places as far north as North Carolina to Florida to Texas in the United States. It’s also the off icial state reptile of Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi, and is considered an apex predator.

I have lived my life for three-quarters of a century and there’s one thing man-kind can’t achieve. Why? Since the very beginning of mankind, men have been warring with each other. Again, why? It would seem to me that man would want peace. We all know that there are no winners to war, only losers. With money spent on war in my lifetime, if man had spent it on peace rather than war, we would all be living in clover. Everyone would have a roof over their head and food on the table. Instead of spending money on war machine, this money could have gone into medi-cine and research. Instead of man spending his time plotting war, the same time could have been spent on planning peace. At the rate we are going, mankind will end up blowing themselves and the earth into oblivion. Why is it that we find it so hard to befriend our neigh-bor, and instead become jeal-ous of others? Why can’t we love each other? Why should our children be subjected to war and the devastation it brings? We were given a great gift called the Earth. All we seem able to do is destroy it. Why is it so dif-ficult to live in peace? Why don’t we spend our time on love instead of hate? We were given a brain in order to think things out. War brings destruction and need. What kind of people start these wars and why do people pay attention to them? Where are our great leaders and why

I just read a story regarding Toms River, who dropped another $200,000 into its barrier island beaches. A picture shows a truck dump-ing sand in front of a home on the beach. The ocean was lapping at the home. The town had two front-end loaders taking sand from other parts of the beach and filling the hole. When are the politicians and engineers going to learn that you cannot stop beach ero-sion just by dumping sand? This winter the town dumped $500,000 in dune sand which the ocean removed after one nor’easter. They need to build jetties to break the waves off shore and break up the inshore current so the sand is deposited on the beach. Again, I point to Manasquan and Shark River Inlets. When I first moved here 40 years ago there was water on both sides of the south jetties. Today the beach is out to the jetties’ point and the sand is filling in the inlets. Is nature telling you something?Captain Robert M. SilvaToms River

When you discover that property taxation is a form of legal thievery and the government services you need can be done by your-self in cooperation with others who need the same services, you move in that direction. Converting from the prop-erty tax to do-it-yourself government is a gradual movement. The first step is to drop the tax levy each year by at least 2 percent through the use of surplus money, the sale of land, buildings, and goods deemed not necessary by the taxed citizens along with eliminating unneces-sary taxpayer jobs that are currently vacant. And the second step is to fill the needed government jobs that become vacant with your own labor and goods in cooperation with other citizens having the same needs. Paying tax dollars to others to do the job in the form of salaries, fees, and benefits amounts to forced cooperation [so-cialism] or slave labor. The long-held lie that there will always be taxation is dismissed by the truth that we are the property of our creator and not of any government. And from the creator we receive our freedom.Ray KalainikasManalapan

Manchester Township Mayor Kenneth Palmer discussed the township’s redevelopment proposal for the Heritage Minerals Site at a recent council meeting. Ordinance #16-022, which the council introduced with-out discussion on May 9 and initially scheduled for final approval just two weeks later on May 23, would give tremendous power to the developer and, once adopt-ed, cannot be undone. The ordinance would adopt the Manchester Heritage Town

Mankind Can’t Achieve Peace

can’t they put a stop to wars? I know this letter sounds like a fairy tale, but I still believe in fairy tales. I hope we will see the light before it is too late. We would have it all, if we just learned to live in peace. I hope you all join in with my fairy tale, for I believe it! “Peace to all mankind.”Herb Greenberg, Jr. Brick

Center Redevelopment Plan and amend the township’s zoning map to reflect the Redevelopment Plan. This massive development plan is bad for Manchester and bad for the Pinelands. Manchester’s leaders have not given the public enough time to provide input about this proposal which would bring vast changes to the town. If it weren’t for the public outcry, Council would already have ad-opted the Redevelopment Plan only two weeks after disclosing its terms. The Redevelopment Plan is illegal, because it violates a slew of environmental rules and a legal settle-ment agreement reached in 2003 between the Pinelands Commission, the Depart-ment of Environmental Pro-tection and the developer, Hovsons Inc. Hovsons’ prior attempts to develop this site had resulted in years of liti-gation because its plans violated rules that protect environmental resources. The settlement agreement permitted Hovsons to build 2,450 homes on 900 acres, would allow 20,000 square feet of commercial devel-opment and dedicates 6,400 acres as open space. The Redevelopment Plan would vastly expand the development and slash the open space. The Plan would allow development of 4,087 acres. Instead of 20,000 square feet of commercial you get one million square feet. Instead of 2,450 homes you get 6,543. The main positive the mayor sees in the develop-ment is making money to “off-set the increasing costs of running a town” through tax revenues. But there are obvious reasons why no one should rely on this develop-ment making more money than it will cost in increased municipal services. Even if it were legal, this Plan would be still be very bad for Manchester. The fiscal impact analysis produced to justify the plan is profoundly flawed. Here

Although families depend on women’s earnings, those earnings have still not caught up with men’s. The wage gap not only persists at different levels of education but be-comes larger with each level. Women with a graduate degree earn only 70 percent of what similar men earn. Working women of all ages continue to encounter atti-tudes and business practices that arbitrarily limit their employment opportunities and earning power. These practices can jeopardize their financial security, both while working and in re-tirement. A woman who works full-time over a 40-year period loses $435,480 in lifetime income (in today’s dollars) due to the wage gap. The typical woman needs to

Mind The Wage Gapwork 11 years longer than a man to achieve accumulated income parity. The income gap trans-lates directly to lower in-come from Social Security and pensions – since those benefits are determined by wage history, disadvantaging women and their families through retirement. This income gap ham-pers the capacity of women workers to save for retire-ment. And since women typically live longer than men, savings often must be stretched across more years of retirement. AARP urges Governor Christie to sign S992 into law to help women and their families. Evelyn LiebmanAARP New Jersey Volunteer

NEW JERSEY – The As-sembly approved legislation sponsored by Assembly-men Ron Dancer and Parker Space to increase the amount of food available at soup kitchens and food banks. The measure (A3056) en-courages schools and col-leges to donate excess food to feed the poor through nonprofit organizations. “It’s a waste to throw good food in the dumpster when people who are hungry need a nutritious meal,” said Dancer (R—Ocean). “This is a common-sense solu-

OCEAN COU NTY – Golfers are coming back to the two courses operat-ed by Ocean County. “We have been seeing ou r nu mber s i nc rease substantially based on a three-year average,” said Ocean County Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr., who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Depar t-ment of Parks and Rec-reation. “These courses are well-maintained and are once again growing in popularity.” Ocean Count y oper-ates two golf courses – the Ocean County Golf Course at Atlantis in Lit-tle Egg Harbor Township a nd t he Ocea n Cou n-ty Golf Course at Forge Pond in Brick Township. At tendance at the two courses had been neg-

Among the more challenging holes is a par-three sixth hole, where the golfer must negotiate a pond in the middle of the fairway in order to reach the green. Ocea n Cou nt y Gol f Course at Forge Pond, lo-cated in the Northeastern region of Ocean County is a par-60 executive course

tucked into a 300-acre conservation area. The freeholders said the rates are very reasonable, espe-cially for resident senior citizens. Freeholder Director John P. Kelly said the coun-ty-run golf courses fill a niche in the county. “They can be used by everyone,” he said. “And, they are affordable.” Bartlett noted that rounds played at the Forge Pond Golf Course are up more than 43 percent with more than 4,000 rounds played this year. Year to date, deposits have increased about 11 percent. The numbers at Atlan-tis are even stronger as rounds played have in-creased almost 70 percent to more than 5,000 rounds this year, and deposits are

up almost 17 percent. “We are open and peo-ple are playing,” Bartlett said. “We have seen a good spring so far and we expect that to continue.” Bartlett said the Parks and Recreation depar t-ment staff is always re-viewing ways to create more interest in the coun-ty’s golf courses. I n add it ion to good weather, other improve-ments including imple-menting Golf Now Tee Ti me Rese r va t ion s , a global company that al-lows residents to reserve a tee time whether it is online, or on their phone, has made making reserva-tions easier. “With this reservation system, we are now much more accessible for golf-ers,” Bartlett said.

In addition, some chang-es to the course at Atlan-tis are helping to meet the various levels golfers play at. “Forward tees have cre-ated a nicer round of golf for our players,” Bartlett said. “The changes are helping golfers play to their ability while also speeding up play. It’s bet-ter for everybody.” In addition, the opening of Cuisine on the Green, a restaurant that serves as the culinary program for the Ocean County Voca-tional Technical School has been a draw for At-lantis. “This has been a bene-ficial partnership,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vi-cari, who serves as liaison to the county’s vo-tech school district. “This is

good for tourism and it’s good for the quality of life offered here in Ocean County.” At Forge Pond, spring and summer golf leagues have attracted more play as has the golfer appreci-ation card, which allows for one free round of play upon the completion of nine. “Our parks department staff does an outstanding job in maintaining the greens, the courses and also implementing cre-ative ways to attract the public to our courses,” Bartlett said. “Our golf courses are true assets to the county.” More information on the Ocean County operated golf courses and parks can be accessed by visiting co.ocean.nj.us/OCParks.

On one side you have surplus food that is going to waste, and on the other side there is a scarcity of food for people on fixed incomes, or families that have fallen on hard times.” Under the bill, the De-partment of Agriculture will develop guidelines to encourage school districts and institutes of higher edu-cation to contribute surplus food to food banks, and work with nonprofit organizations to facilitate cost-effective, safe and sanitary means for donation.

“We can prevent meals from going to waste and people from going hungry by establishing a framework for packing and shipping this food to places where it will feed families,” said Space (R—Sussex). “School cafe-terias often have consider-able food left over, and it has been going to waste because, until now, there has been no other viable option.” In addition, the bill ex-pands the “Food Bank Good Samaritan Act,” providing legal immunity to school districts that donate food.

OCEAN COUNTY – “Now’s the time to plan ahead for hot and muggy days,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “Heat ranks among the top weather-related killers in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).” Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health

Do You Have Your Heat-Wave Plan Ready? Department (OCHD) public health coor-dinator, said, “As summer approaches, forecasters say to expect an increase in temperature and longer and more frequent periods of extreme heat. Our bodies have less chance to recover during hot days and warm nights, placing everyone at risk for heat illness. When temperatures and hu-midity are high, sweat ceases to evaporate

and the body’s natural cooling system slows down or shuts down completely. Very hot weather can cause heat exhaustion, heat stroke and severe respiratory conditions, which can be fatal.” Regenye added, “Extreme heat especially endangers seniors, young children, peo-ple with disabilities and individuals with breathing conditions and other chronic

medical conditions, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other respiratory and cardiovascular problems. Those without air-conditioning, fans or access to cooling shelters are also at risk.” Some hot weather tips include: Stay cool, stay hydrated and stay informed. Drink plenty of fluids regardless of your level of activity, even if not thirsty. Drink between two to four cups per hour while working outside. Avoid sugary, caffeinated and alcoholic drinks. Limit sun exposure from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and try to schedule outdoor activities in the early morning. Dress in loose, light-weight, light-colored clothing that covers the skin. Wear sun-glasses and wide-brimmed hat. Apply sunscreen with SPF 15 or more 10 minutes before going out; re-apply every two hours. Never leave infants, children or pets in a parked car. Visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org for safety tips during the heat and also information on heat-re-lated illnesses, prevention, symptoms and treatment.

Sound Void? A sound void is most commonly defined as a moment lacking clarity in hearing or understanding; an empty space in one’s life caused by the absence of sound clar-ity. Sound voids usually occur in specific listening situations where an individual’s hearing loss does not permit them to de-tect or understand important sounds and speech cues. Individuals often find that sound voids result in tiring, frustrating and embarrassing situations. However you experience them – whether they happen during precious moments with your loved ones, critical conver-sations in the work place or in common everyday interactions – sound voids can detract from your ability to live your life to its fullest.

Do you often hear people talking but simply have difficulty understanding them? Do you sometimes struggle to hear clearly in background noise? Do you occasionally have trouble fol-lowing the conversation in small groups? Do you find it challenging to explain your hearing situation to others? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may be experiencing the perception of “sound void”. The term sound void was created to help explain the gaps that some say that they experience in their day-to-day listening lives. If this sounds like you or someone you love, you should consider contacting your hearing health care professional today.

OCEAN COUNTY – “It is important to follow food safety guidelines to prevent harmful bacteria from multiplying and causing foodborne illness,” stated Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health De-partment public health coordinator, pointed out the importance of taking extra precau-tions and practicing safe food handling when preparing perishable foods, such as meat, poultry, seafood and egg products. “When shopping for your barbeque, buy cold foods last, right before checking out. Keep poultry away from other food; grab one of the plastic bags that are handy by the meat and poultry section and put the meat or chicken in the bag. Avoid raw meat or poultry juices dripping on other food. It is important to refrigerate perishable foods within two hours and keep them refriger-ated until ready to use. If food gets packed in a cooler, keep it out of direct sunlight and avoid opening the lid too often. Freeze poultry and ground meat that will not be used in one or two days.” Regenye continued, “We remind people of the importance of hand washing, but it is equally important to keep everything you are using to cook with just as clean. Bacte-ria on raw meat and poultry can be easily spread to other foods by juices dripping from packages, hands and utensils, called cross-contamination. To prevent foodborne illness, do not use the same platter and uten-

sils for raw or cooked meat and poultry. If you are picnicking away from your home, find out if there is a source of clean water, and if not, bring water for preparation and cleaning. You may choose to pack clean cloths and wet towlettes for cleaning sur-faces and hands. The following steps are offered for safe cooking, more information can also be found at the Ocean County Health Depart-ment website, ochd.org. Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before handling food. Use two cutting boards to keep raw meat, chicken and fish apart from vegetables. Use a food thermometer to check meat, fish and chicken after it is cooked. When taking foods off the grill, put cooked items on a clean plate. Chill food and leftovers in the refrigerator as soon as everyone is done eating. Always wash fruits and vegetables under running water before cutting or eating. Keep eggs in the refrigerator; cook eggs until the yolk is firm Defrost frozen food in the microwave or refrigerator, not the counter. Mayonnaise-based foods need to be kept cold. Bacteria are often present on the rind of melons so it is important to wash the melon thoroughly before cutting. Once cut, refrig-erate the cut pieces of melon. Not sure about quality, expiration, etc. of food, then keep in mind “When in doubt, throw it out.”

All Of Us Have An Autoimmune Disorder

It’s scary to think that you could have autoimmune dysfunction even though you may not have been diagnosed with a disor-der yet. I think we all have some degree of autoimmunity and if tested properly, we’d see it. Doctors think autoimmune diseases are “rare” and here I’m saying I think all of us have some degree. I’m not crazy. It’s only “rare” because the old-school tests don’t detect it until 90 percent of the tissue or organ is completely destroyed. Tests for autoimmunity are so backwards that until the symptoms are out of control and you’re in terrible pain or finally start-ing to become deformed, the tests don’t come back positive. Most of your tissue has to be destroyed or the autoimmune diagnosis is not given. Take Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease for example. These are both auto-immune diseases where your T cells (im-mune system) destroy your own thyroid gland. But people don’t get cured when they take the “standard of care” medica-tions such as thyroid hormone, or when they undergo surgery or radiation. Why aren’t they cured and why don’t they feel better when their TSH and other thyroid labs look good? The answer is easy. It’s because none of these medications stop the assault caused by the T cells, which are still trying to kill other tissues in the body. There’s a full-body cytokine storm of pro-inflammatory compounds making you miserable, even though your hormone levels are normal. Take any autoimmune disease, the best they tell you to hope for is remission.

When you have one autoimmune disease, you almost always have two or three or four. Your body creates antibodies ev-erywhere it sees an invader. Why would anyone think it stops at your thyroid, your myelin, your adrenals, your joints and cartilage or your skin cells? Here’s why you could have multiple disorders going on. It could be a patho-gen that’s gone undetected. It could be food, that’s a big trigger. Gluten is a hole puncher. You get gluten when you eat traditional bread, pasta and pastries, most notably from foods cooked with wheat, barley and rye. Gluten pokes holes in your gut, whether or not you have Celiac disease. It’s an additive. Gluten makes the “tight junctions” in your gut come loose, so various undigest-ed proteins (corn, egg, coffee, tapioca) leak out of the holes in your gut, into your blood stream. The proteins aren’t supposed to be there, they’re supposed to stay in the tube, meaning your gut. Your immune system tags these innocent foreign proteins, which only leaked out because your gut has holes. These proteins are in organs and your im-mune system is poised to destroy the tissue wherever they lodge. It’s not just gluten, it could be corn, egg, dairy, coffee and so forth. It differs for everyone. I’ve written an ebook, specifically on the topic of food, and what foods to avoid. My ebook per-tains to Hashimoto’s, however if you have any autoimmune disorder, it will help you. Sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com and it will come in an email.

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean Health Ini-tiatives (OHI), a federally qualified health center with locations in Ocean County, has been named an eligible provider in The Veterans Choice program. The Veterans Choice program provides eligible veterans with the option to receive non-VA health care services from approved community health care providers, such as OHI, in their communities. Using this program will not have any impact on existing VA health care or any other VA benefit. Some qualifying situations for veterans include waiting more than 30 days for VA medical care, or having to travel 40 miles or more to a VA medical facility, among others. Veterans can call 866-606-8198 to

find out if they qualify or visit va.gov/opa/choiceact/ and schedule an appointment at OHI. Those veterans who do qualify should use their Veterans Choice Card, which will allow them to request OHI as their community-based primary health care provider. The Ocean County Veterans Service Bureau, located on the first floor of the Ocean County One-Stop Center, 1027 Hooper Ave., Toms River, can pro-vide additional assistance to veterans about obtaining and using their Veterans Choice Card. For more information about OHI, contact Kimberly Tozzi, community relations coordinator, at 732-719-9016.

are just a few of the unrealistic assumptions on which its rosy predictions are based: The analysis looks only at predicted tax revenues 20 years from now – telling us nothing about the impact on the town’s taxes over the next 20 years. It assumes that 100 percent of all the proposed residential, com-mercial and industrial space is always fully occupied. And it assumes Hovsons will build and sell more than 1800 three-bed-room units as age-restricted. Here’s how we know this assumption is not based on real business plans: The first draft of the analysis showed the town taking a bath, even on its other unrealistic assumptions, so they just changed all these three-bedroom units to age restricted in order to artificially eliminate a lot of school children – all with-out any legal or market basis to believe the town can make Hovsons keep these units age-restricted. Most suburban towns in New Jersey will not adopt plans like this anymore because they know the math doesn’t work out. Experience and studies have shown again and again that in New Jersey, with

our heavy reliance on property taxes, big developments in suburban towns result in a net fiscal loss to municipalities. And the costs of new development, once built, just increase. Commercial development is often touted as the answer to offset the increased costs of services to new residents. But that is also a Trojan horse. Commercial development also brings municipal costs, and towns with lots of commercial usually have high-er taxes than those with less. That’s only partly because new commercial ratables often displace existing ones – another point which the fiscal impact analysis completely ignores. If Council adopts Ordinance #16-022, it would give all the power to the developer, and if the town changes its mind in the fu-ture there will be nothing you can do to stop this project. The residents of Manchester Township should demand that Council deny ordinance #16-022. Call Mayor Palmer at 732-657-8121 and tell him how you feel.

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

Hanging On The TelephoneDear Joel I ended a relationship with a girl that I had been dating for several years. It started out as a nice relationship when we were both in college. Ever since I broke up with her she has been stalking me. She bombards me with texts, e mails and phone calls. I keep on telling her to leave me alone but she continues to call. Can I hire a lawyer?Answer: You can always hire a lawyer. Finding someone to handle this case seems like a no brainer. Your letter leaves me per-plexed. You don’t mention her following you to school or work. She doesn’t appear

in restaurants or stores that you are in. Ev-erything that you included in her behavior has either a phone number or e mail address. The very fact that you haven’t changed either makes me feel that in some way you are inviting this behavior and per-haps subconsciously enjoying it. Making her go away is probably an easy fix if that’s what you really want. Take the time to analyze why you haven’t slammed the door on this one. It will be a lot cheaper than hiring an attorney who will probably give you the same advice.

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

OCEAN COUNTY – The O.C.E.A.N., Inc. Head Star t Child Development program is a comprehensive pre-school program for children ages 3 to 5 years old from disadvantaged families. Eligibility is based on income guidelines from the fed-eral government. To be eligible, a family’s income must be 100 percent or below on the Income Guidelines chart. The program provides services in five ma-jor areas: education, health, social services, parent involvement and special needs. Every child receives a variety of learning experiences that foster physical, social, emotional and cognitive growth. The program combines teacher-directed and child-directed activities.

Head Start Program Benefits Children From Low-Income Families Head Start arranges for every child to receive, if needed, comprehensive health care including complete medical exam-inations, nutrition services and mental health screening and services. Medical examinations include vision and hearing tests, identification of disabling condi-tions, immunizations and dental exams. Registration for WIC (Women, Infant and Children) services are available and encouraged. Nutrition services include a minimum of one hot meal and one snack for each child daily. The agency Nutrition Services Manager supervises nutrition activities for the Head Start program. A mental health professional is available to provide mental health education to staff,

parents and children. Parents are encouraged to be involved in Head Start program planning by joining the Policy Council where they have a strong voice in decisions, and by volunteer-ing their time as teacher aides, storytellers, cooks or clerical workers. Emphasis is placed on assisting Head Start families in determining what their specific needs are, and guiding each family to meet those needs through referrals to community resources. Details of resources available for emergency situations are also provided. Special needs services (including speech and mental health consultation) are offered at each Head Start site. Children with di-

verse needs are always welcome at Head Start. All staff members are trained and possess the skills necessary to meet the needs of young children. All staff are also CPR certified and First Aid trained. Head Start programs not only enhance the growth and development of children, they promote family self-sufficiency and devel-op community partnerships. O.C.E.A.N., Inc. currently operates Head Start pro-grams at six locations throughout Ocean County in Brick, Berkeley, Barnegat, Toms River, Manchester and the LEAP Delegate Center in Lakewood. Find an application online at oceaninc.org.

FARMINGDALE – The Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore raised more than $175,000 during its Annual Women of Distinction and Community Partners Gala on recently at Eagle Oaks Coun-try Club. The annual event honors the personal and professional achievements of outstanding local individuals and organizations. During the black-tie affair, sponsored by Investors Bank, the Girl Scouts honored a group of individuals. This year’s Women of Distinction included Lillian Burry, Monmouth County free-holder; Valerie Montecalvo, Bayshore Recycling; Maria Tanzola, UBS; Betty White, civic volunteer and Bertha Wil-liams-Pullen, Neptune Township School District. As its Community Partner, the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore honored the Faith and James Knight Foundation. The Junior Woman of Distinction was

Kathy Ann Drake, a Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore Girl board representative. And this year, for the first time, the council honored a “Man Enough to be a Girl Scout” Member of the Year. The inaugural honoree was Jim DeAngelis, Lakewood BlueClaws. All honorees are from Monmouth and Ocean counties.

A frequently asked question by persons buying houses is whether they need to spend the money to obtain a survey of the property they are buying. A survey is a graphic depiction of the proper ty showing its boundary lines as well as any structures or other improvements on the property. In many cases, the answer is easy, because many mor tgage lenders wil l require a survey as part of the mortgage process to make sure that the property that they are mortgaging has no legal de-fects. But what about those cases where the mortgage lender does not require a survey or where the buyer is paying cash for the house without needing a mort-gage? I believe that considering the price of a house, the cost of a survey, which typically costs between $550 to $700, is money well spent. A survey will show you where are the boundary lines of the property which you are purchasing so that you know whether the property matches the description as it was portrayed in the contract or on the tax map. The survey will also show whether there are any improvements such as buildings, fences, sheds, decks or pools (yes, we have had several instanc-es where pools were built on neighbors’ properties!) on the property you are buy-ing which encroach upon a neighboring property. It will also show whether any such improvements f rom neighboring properties encroach upon the property you are buying. If such encroachments

are discovered you can then request that the seller correct them before you close title on the property. In addition, all title insurance policies will contain an exception for any title defects which an accurate survey would have revealed. Having a su r vey wil l allow your title insurance company to make sure that the property you are buy-ing matches the legal description on the subdivision map or deed which created the property. If there is a discrepancy, you may not be obligated to close title on the proper ty until the discrepancy is resolved. In addit ion, if, af ter you close title to the proper ty, a neighbor challenges the location of the property lines between the two properties, your t itle insurance company will be obli-gated to defend the challenge and may be obligated to compensate you for any loss that you may incur if your property is not as it was shown on the survey. Without a survey, you may have to defend an encroachment action out of your own pocket, which would cost far in excess of the cost of the survey. The attorneys of R. C. Shea and Asso-ciates have over 110 years of collective experience representing buyers and we always strongly recommend that the buy-ers obtain a survey before closing title to the property. We also recommend that the buyer review the survey before the closing to make sure that the property as shown on the survey is what they thought they were buying.

Professional Profile

By Joyce Blay Cancer patients have a “breast” friend in Toms River surgical specialist Dr. Barbara P. Schneider, M.D., F.A.C.S., radiation oncology. Dr. Schneider believes in treating the whole patient. “Breast cancer is not just a medical illness, it’s a psy-chological illness,” she tells a visitor. “Patients not only ask themselves, ‘Am I going to live?’ They also ask them-selves, ‘What am I going to look like?’ While Dr. Schneider treats men as well as women, she maintains that women as a group react to a diagnosis of breast cancer differently than men. “Breast cancer is different from any other cancer be-cause breasts are so visible and prominent in a woman,” Dr. Schneider says. “Breast cancer is almost a betrayal of who the patient is as a woman.” A patient undergoing treat-ment for breast cancer may not only suffer the loss of a breast, but the loss of her hair. Dr. Schneider is that patient’s staunch advocate, supported by a network of specialists that work with her to ensure that patients diagnosed with breast cancer receive the

most appropr iate plan of treatment. “I feel very strongly about my patients,” she says. “I give them a treatment plan that addresses all of their needs.” The years have only strength-ened her resolve to continue that practice. Dr. Schneider began her academic career as a biology major at Rensselaer Poly-technic Institute in Troy, NY. In 1977, she graduated from Albany Medical College. She interned at Bronx Municipal Hospital Center in New York City, then completed the rest of her 5-year surgical resi-dency at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx. In 1985, Dr. Schneider brought her medical exper-tise to Toms River, NJ, where she opened a private practice. She has hospital pr ivi leg-es with Community Medical Center. Because Dr. Schneider is a woman, she of fers the predominantly female breast cancer patients she treats a uniquely empathetic and com-passionate understanding of their needs. She also offers a range of other surgical procedures in the treatment of various diag-nosed conditions. While Dr. Schneider treats

many different conditions, the majority of her patients are diagnosed with breast cancer. Each breast is as individual as the person being treated, Dr. Schneider maintains. Her goal is to save both patient and breast. As an expert in the technique of oncoplastic surgery, which increases the rate of breast conserva-tion, she has a greater rate of success than many other surgeons nationwide report-ed. Her local recurrence rate following breast conserving surgery is less than 1% com-pared to a nationwide rate of 9.7%. All patients are in good hands as soon as they enter Dr. Schneider’s office, conve-niently located next to Com-munity Medical Center. Dr. Schneider’s two experienced assistants share her philoso-phy, she says. They expertly assess each patient in order to triage their needs prior to seeing Dr. Schneider. Patients praise Dr. Schnei-der’s work and her results in comments posted online. “You and your staff were professional, compassionate and caring,” Gail wrote in her online rating of Dr. Schneider.

“I’d recommend you to anyone.” Another patient expressed gratitude to Dr. Schneider for

the results she achieved. “Thank you for 6 years can-cer free!” Donna exclaimed in her online comment. Still another patient com-mented on Dr. Schneider’s warmth and understanding, as well as the quality of her surgical expertise. “I felt as if you knew me al-though we had just met,” Sue wrote in an online post. “You took all my fears, worries, and concerns put them on a table and tackled them BEFORE I had the chance to verbalize them. You do know the “being” beyond the human and made a scary situation very calm. I had no post- op pain and have never seen such a beautiful incision line.” In 2015, Dr. Schneider re-ceived the Compassionate Doctor Recognition from Vi-tals, a New Jersey organi-zation that annually honors the nation’s favorite doctors based on patient reviews and ratings. For the past 35 years, Dr. Schneider has strived to help

her patients survive, as well as thrive, despite a diagnosis of breast cancer. The odds are increasingly in their favor. “A diagnosis of breast cancer is no longer a death sentence,” Dr. Schneider says. “One of the biggest reasons is the increased use of screen-ing mammograms since the 1980s. Why should anyone check out at age 70 when they may have a good quality of life until they’re 90? At any age, a screening mammogram is the best investment a woman can make in her quality of life.” For further information, visit Dr. Schneider’s Web site at barbaraschneidermd.com.

Wolfgang Puck’s kitchen

By Wolfgang Puck Summer vacation has arrived for many families across the country. For others, it’s just a few days or weeks away. Par-ents everywhere are facing the challenge of what to do to keep their children in-terested and happy, not to mention well fed, during those long days. Sure, there’s camp to rely on, plus all sorts of sports teams or lessons, family outings, movies, museums, amusement parks and other attractions. But what about that downtime at home, when you want them to do something else other than watch TV or play video games, and they’re tired of reading? That’s the moment, I say, to turn your kitchen into a home cooking school for kids. Summer is an ideal time to teach your children about the pleasures of cooking at home. Tell them that you’re going to make them something they’d love to eat, and you’ll have their complete attention. That’s certainly what my late mother, Maria Puck, used to do when she wanted to get my sisters, my brother and me to settle down. The words “butterscotch pudding” were all she had to speak to get us to behave. Since her recipe for old-fashioned butterscotch pudding involves cooking a hot caramelized sugar syrup to make the butterscotch, it’s definitely not something where you want little helpers to be anywhere near the stove. But even young children can be encouraged to help you measure out the ingredients before the cooking starts, and then sit at-tentively nearby – but safely far enough from the stove – to watch as you explain what you’re doing. There are many good lessons to learn through this recipe. You’ll be able to show them how butter and brown sugar melt together and gradually turn into a rich caramelized butterscotch, how the tiny seeds from inside a split vanilla bean are the source of delicious vanilla flavor, and how cream turns the mixture into a luscious sauce. You can show them how egg yolks, “tempered” with some of the sauce so they’ll stay smooth and not turn into lumps like scrambled egg, not only enrich the sauce but also, together with some cornstarch, thicken it. You can also give them a quick lesson on how to make real whipped cream from scratch, rather than getting it from an aerosol can. And your young audience will also learn an important lesson in patience, since the finished pudding needs to chill in the refrigerator for several hours be-fore serving. But what a reward you’ll have to offer for their good behavior the rest of the afternoon!

BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING Serves 4

6 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 cup (250 mL) loosely packed golden brown sugar 1/4 cup (60 mL) loosely packed dark brown sugar 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise in half, seeds scraped out and reserved1 3/4 cups (435 mL) plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream, divided1 cup (250 mL) plus 2 tablespoons whole milk Pinch of fine sea salt1/4 generous cup (65 mL) cornstarch 6 large cage-free egg yolks In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the butter, both the golden brown and dark brown sugars, and seeds you scraped from the vanilla pod. (Reserve the scraped-out pod, if you like, to put in an airtight sugar canister to make vanilla-scented sugar.) Place the pan over high heat and carefully cook, stirring often, until the mixture turns bubbling and dark brown, 3 to 5 minutes. In a measuring cup or bowl, stir together 1 cup (250 mL) plus 2 tablespoons of the cream and all of the milk. Carefully whisk them into the hot sugar mixture and add the sea salt. Bring the mixture back to a boil, whisking until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat. Put the remaining 3/4 cup (185 mL) cream in the refrigerator to chill. Sift the cornstarch through a fine-meshed sieve into a large heatproof bowl. While whisking continuously, gradually pour the hot cream-sugar mixture into the cornstarch. Return the mixture to the same saucepan and bring to a boil, whisking constantly, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Briskly whisk in a little of the hot butterscotch mixture to temper the eggs. Then, whisk the egg mixture into the re-maining butterscotch in the saucepan; and, while continuing to whisk constantly, bring the mixture almost to a boil, about 1 minute. Pour the custard through a wire-meshed sieve set over a large bowl, pressing it through with a rubber spatula. Ladle the custard into four martini glasses or glass serving bowls. Leave the glasses or bowls at room temperature to cool. Then, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until very cold, up to overnight. Before serving, put the remaining chilled cream in a large bowl. Whisk by hand or with electric beaters until the cream forms soft peaks that droop slightly when the beaters or whisk are lifted out. Remove the plastic wrap from the chilled puddings. Spoon a dollop of whipped cream on top of each pudding. You can even sprin-kle a little brown sugar over the top if you want. Serve immediately.

Cooking With The Kids: Old-Fashioned Pudding Recipe Is A Timeless Classic

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are apt to stumble when you are blind to problems. Mix-ups can occur in the early part of the week, but you may be unaware at the time.

You can get ahead in the material world by exerting your charm. In the upcoming week you and a special someone may be in complete harmony when it comes to love and money.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The material world means the most. Today’s New Moon occurs in your sign and may mark the beginning of several weeks of increased ambition. A family member or loved one could briefly block your desires this week.CANCER (June 21-July 22): Bide your time before taking a side. The workplace could become a hotbed of unhappiness in the week ahead. Steer clear of disputes and secure a clear understanding of job requirements before you begin a project.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take a new lease on life. As this week unfolds you can develop new goals and focus on achieving your ambitions. A work related project can be both financially and spiritually enriching as you may learn something valuable.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Review your plans for the future in the week ahead. You possess foresight and a knack for taking a broad view. Fi-nancial genius is at your disposal and should be put to good use whenever making major investments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Fill your piggy bank. In the week ahead your social connections can help you make profits or achieve better financial security.

In the week ahead your calls for sym-pathy or understanding could fall on deaf ears. Rather than offering excuses just get on with the work.
