MEET YOUR SIX SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATES Si� R�n For T�o Spots

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – There are six candidates running for two available seats on the Board of Education this election season that are being vacated by incumbents Karyn Cusanelli and George White, who are not running for re-election. In part one of a two-part series, we ask the candidates why they are running for the Board of Education, and about their work and educational background. We also asked if they have any children in the district, how long they have lived in Brick, and to add any other details that they felt were important. These are their responses in alphabetical order by the candidate’s last name: Walter Campbell, 74, said he running for a seat because he wants the opportunity to follow through on the many facilities and curriculum upgrades to the (Candidates - See Page 5)

Pet Ministries Bless Four-Legged Friends

By Lois Rogers The fifth annual Blessing of the Animals, Pet Fair and Pet Adoption Day unfolded on the wide green lawns behind St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, Herbertsville Road, Brick, with scores of critters and the “service humans” who gathered with them for recognition of their place in God’s creation. One-by-one and sometimes twoby-two, as in the case of a couple of pooches who rode a cart to receive their blessings from Pastor Alan Darby, the critters reflected the peaceable kingdom at its best.

The sense of tranquility continued even after the pets – mainly dogs with a sprinkling of cats – received their blessings. Settling in shady spots, the pets munched on treats and slurped from huge water bowls thoughtfully set out by members of the congregation’s Pet Ministry which sponsors and coordinates the community outreach event. Among four and two-footed friends relaxing after the blessing were Susan Keenan and Xena, her canine partner in rescue operations with a team based out of (Pets - See Page 29)

Behind The Scenes On Mayor’s Talk Show

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BR ICK – T he award-wi nning monthly online talk show, “ Tal k i ng Br ick w it h Mayor John Ducey,” features the mayor who takes listener calls and questions posed on the township Facebook page. Between calls he announces events, township news, and sometimes the show features guests, such as community leaders or department heads. The idea for the show came from the township’s Public Information Officer Ed Moroney, who was familiar with an online streaming service called Blogtalk Radio. “It’s available to the public. It allows people to create content for the internet for a hobby they have or for anything they’re interested in,” Moroney said from the mayor’s office before the September 28 broadcast. The show lasts about a half hour unless there is a large number of calls, when it can go a little longer, Moroney said. During the broadcast, Ducey monitors his computer screen for listener calls and checks his smartphone for questions on the Facebook page. “People can call about any topic, (Mayor - See Page 26)

district that began when he last served on the Board of Education. “My in-depth knowledge of these projects, as well as my decades of experience as an educator, uniquely qualify me for this seat,” he wrote. Campbell has lived in Brick for 30 years and has been married for 51 years. He is the father of three children and grandfather of six, four who are still students in township schools. He taught science in the Manasquan school district where he also coached wrestling and football. “I am very proud of the vocational program I implemented there, where students learned commercial and residential facilities maintenance and repair,” he wrote. Campbell has a B.A. from what is now Rowan University where he double-majored in biological and physical sciences, and he has over 30 postgraduate credits from Rutgers, Seton Hall and TCNJ. He served on the Brick Board of Education from June 2010 until December 2011 where he was the chair of the Facilities Committee and a member of the Curriculum and Instruction Committee. “We were able to complete extensive facilities work without burdening our residents with tax increases or an expensive referendum,” Campbell wrote. “It can be done!” he added. “School elections are supposed to be non-partisan. When political parties

The Brick Times, October 1, 2016, Page 5 become involved it is the taxpayers and students who suffer. We have seen this demonstrated in recent months, and both political parties are, once again, covertly putting forth candidates this election,” he wrote. Campbell said he has always been registered as an Independent and he strongly believes that there is no place for partisan politics in the schools. “The Board of Education needs to prioritize the needs of the students while respecting the financial responsibilities on the taxpayers,” he wrote. Madeline Colagiovanni-Iannarone, 61, said she has an interest in giving back to the community that she has lived in for most of her life. “I am a Brick High School graduate and have never left my hometown,” she wrote. Colagiovanni-Iannarone has worked for the Brick Township Recreation Department since 2010 and has been involved in many special events and in the daily needs of the department. “Before working for the township I was a full-time master stylist-colorist hairdresser for 20 years and I still work part-time weekly in the profession at the Ocean County Mall,” she wrote. Colagiovanni-Iannarone graduated “many years ago” from the Capri Institute in Brick and has taken some college courses at Ocean County College. She has a daughter who attends high school in Brick, a granddaughter in a township elementary school, and three other children who attended and graduated from the Brick

school system. “I have served on many boards and have donated my time to many committees that are very dear to my heart,” wrote Colagiovanni-Iannarone. Victor Finamore, 51, is running with John O’Rourke as a team, “Brick Students First.” He said that it is the team’s opinion that “time after time” the students in Brick have not been given the tools they need to succeed. “Throughout my career, in various positions of business leadership, I have always had the ability to unite individuals with a common cause. I believe this trait will serve me well bringing our administration, board and parents together to see that our children finally begin to get a fair shake,” he wrote. Finamore graduated from Westfield High School and studied business management, fi nance and marketing at Union County College in Cranford, and has completed coursework in operations management, marketing and conflict resolution, and became a certified pharmaceutical technician at Upsala College in East Orange. He is the proprietor of Business Consulting, Process Management and Operations Optimization, and consults with Better Qualified, LLC, an industry-leading credit restoration and identity theft protection company for both business and consumer credit services. “I have also worked on various state projects related to Superstorm Sandy relief efforts... serving many of our Brick residents. Prior, I have experience for many years working as a Health Care Benefits Ad-

ministration contractor for various schools, corporations and unions,” Finamore wrote. Finamore has volunteered in a number of state and county community service projects, most recently in the Brick CERT Program and the Best Day Foundation for special needs children. While he does not have children in the district, Finamore said he frequently attends Board of Education meetings and has reviewed various budget reports that were made available to the public throughout the years. “I’ve been a single homeowner and a taxpayer since 2002. During this time, I have become more and more concerned with the state of affairs of our schools, the sad condition of our facilities, the constant board member conflicts, the lack of transparency and the current rating of our students in various state polls,” Finamore wrote. Melita Gagliardi, 35, is running as a team with Daisy Haffner, who share the same educational and fiscal values, she said. Gagliardi, a special education teacher in the Jackson School District for 14 years, is a Georgian Court University graduate. She said she is an active volunteer in the community and the schools, where she has worked to combat bullying by organizing Middle School Mix It Up Day, which is a nationally recognized anti-bullying program. She also volunteers her time for the Lion Pride Mentorship Program for at-risk youth, and coordinates the Annual Run for Veterans Breakfast in Jackson. Gagliardi said her work ethic and experience would make her (Candidates - See Page 7)

What Is The Link Between Being Over-Weight and Joint Pain? By Joseph Moscogiuri, DPT, Forked River Location

any times patients come through the door at All-Care with complaints of pain and discomfort in their hips and knees and have prescriptions for osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis (OA) is deﬁned as degeneration of joint cartilage and bone, which in turn leads to pain and stiffness. OA can be due to many causes, but one cause that is often over looked is a patient’s weight. Many of our joints in our body, such as our hips and knees, act as weight bearing structures, and are designed to withstand normal stressors placed on them such as walking. However, research has shown that the stress placed on these weight bearing joints is increased with every extra pound you may weigh. Let’s take the knee for example, it has been shown that for every extra pound someone weighs, the stress on their knees is increased by about 4 pounds. So if something is just 10 pounds over-weight that increases the stress on the knees by about 40 extra pounds. For someone that is 100 pounds over-weight, the stress is increased to about

considered healthy, while a BMI of 25-29.9 is considered overweight, and a BMI of >30 is considered obese. You can refer to the chart provided to get an estimate of your current BMI.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

400 pounds! All that increased pressure can lead to rapid break down of the joint, thus causing pain and stiffness and restricting you from doing the things you love.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU’RE OVER-WEIGHT?

An easy way to check whether you are over-weight is to calculate your BMI. Your BMI stands for Body Mass Index, and is a quick screening tool which is a measure of body fat, based on your weight in relation to your height. Typically a BMI that is < 18.5 is underweight, BMI ranging from 18.5-24.9 is

One of the best ways to lose weight is through diet and exercise. It is recommended that you get at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per day, as well as cut back on dietary fats and total calories. However, it is difﬁcult to exercise when pain and stiffness within your joints may restrict you. Physical therapist can use a number of manual therapy and soft tissue techniques in conjunction with modalities such as ice, heat, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound to help alleviate joint point. Once pain has subsided, a physical therapist can instruct you on appropriate and safe physical exercises which help combat the effects of OA. Stop in today at one of our nearest All-Care facilities to see what our knowledgeable and well trained therapist can do for you, and experience the All-Care difference.

an effective board member. As an Ocean County resident for 28 years and a Brick resident for seven, Gagliardi has two children who attend elementary school in Brick, where she has volunteered as a Class Mom for the last two years. She is also active in the PTA where she has helped with the gift auction and Holiday Fun Day. “As board members these will be our priorities: “Focus on learning, not testing, because an overreliance on standardized testing encourages ‘teaching to the test;’ “Restore our Special Education Department so more children can be serviced ‘In District.’ Sending our children out of district costs taxpayers millions and isolates our most vulnerable students from the community; “Emphasize science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) to prepare Brick students for 21st century careers; “Fight the heroin epidemic in schools by increasing resources for drug prevention and partnering with police and community organizations,” wrote Gagliardi. Daisy Haffner, 41, is a lifelong resident of Brick and has been an active member of the community, serving as President of the Midstreams Elementary School PTO from 2013-2016, she wrote. She also served as co-president of the Mom’s Club of Brick, and the Mother’s Center of the Jersey Shore where she cochaired their Annual Gift Auction in 2010.

The Brick Times, October 1, 2016, Page 7 Haffner said she is a proud graduate of the Brick Township School District, and attended Herbertsville Elementary School, Veterans Elementary School, Veterans Middle School and Brick Memorial High School. A graduate of Georgian Court University, Haffner worked as an accountant and became a stay-at-home mother after her children were born until she rejoined the workforce in a full-time position with a moving service this year. She has two children who attend elementary and middle schools in Brick. “The school board has an obligation to provide our students with safe schools and a quality education, while making sure our tax dollars are not wasted or stolen,” Haffner wrote. “I’m running for the school board, along with Melita Gagliardi, because I believe both students and taxpayers have been short-changed by a school board that gave too much power to a corrupt superintendent and failed to provide proper oversight,” she said. Haffner cited a district window replacement project that went $1.5 million over budget due, in part, to the windows being the wrong size for the air conditioners. “This is wasted money that could have been used for education,” she wrote. “Teachers and staff need the appropriate supplies and tools to teach effectively. Our buildings and grounds need to be updated so there are no safety issues,” Haffner said. “Technology needs to be updated so that our children graduate with skills that will help

them in their future endeavors.” Haffner said if she is elected she would use her background as an accountant and her experience as a mother and a PTO volunteer to ensure that the taxpayer money goes to where it is needed and not spent wastefully or unnecessarily. John J. O’Rourke, 77, said he is running for a seat on the board because he is concerned about the recent budget increase and the effect any tax increase has on township residents “who live paycheck to paycheck. “Once again, we have a board where transparency has become an issue,” O’Rourke wrote. “The awarding of no-bid contracts is not acceptable.” The goal of O’Rourke and running mate Victor Finamore is to prioritize the education of children while keeping a lid on the $150 million budget, he said. O’Rourke has a B.S. in accounting from Seton Hall University and a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant (ROTC) in the U.S. Army in June 1961. He worked at a Wall Street brokerage house for several months

before entering the Army, he said, and later earned an M.A. in Education from Seton Hall. He had a 41-year teaching career, starting at his alma mater, St. Aloysius High School in Jersey City where he taught mathematics. He also taught at Marist High School in Bayonne, Jackson Memorial High School and Woodcliff Academy (a special education school) in Wall Township. With each of his teaching posts, O’Rourke has coached cross-country and track & field, which he called one of the most rewarding experiences of his life. O’Rourke currently has two young grandchildren in the Brick school system, so the quality of their education has become one of his primary concerns, he wrote. “I believe I can make a difference for all of our students, and I look forward to that challenge,” he said. A resident of Brick since 1971, O’Rourke is a member of the Respect Life and Hospital Ministries at St. Dominic’s Parish. The general election is on November 8.

C ommentary

Featured Letter Be A Candle That Lights The Way The last line of the first parag raph of the St ar Bangled Banner, “O’er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave” should be the motivation for paying respect to our Flag. Some may question their freedom because of the actions of a few, but we are all bound by laws and judicial powers that prevail. Tr ue, we may have some rogue police, but should we turn our back on all those who do ser ve a nd protect, both military and civil, in all t y pes of st r ife? Isn’t it the braver y of ou r m i l it a r y t h at h a s kept ou r cou nt r y f ree from oppressors? Police departments throughout the nation are on call 24 hours a day. Police of any color are a welcome sight when the call for h el p i s s o u n d e d . L e t us not judge all by the mistakes, and prejudice, of a few. All society has some inequity in the way laws are enforced. Some see enforcement of laws as b ei ng t he fo ot of t yrants on their back, but i n many com mu n it ies

it is law en forcement that protects the most vulnerable. Should society blame all police for the transgressions of a few? Should we blame e nt i r e bl a ck c o m mu nities for the sins of a few? Or, should we all stand up and try to right perceived wrongs? The K n ig ht s of Colu mbu s have as their motto, “It is bet t e r t o l ig ht one ca nd le, t ha n to cu r se the darkness.” Let all of us be the “candle that lights the way,” by working within the system without denigrating the work done by those who do a difficult job, under trying conditions, both military and civil. Rather than stok ing the fires of discontent, b e c o m e a n a d vo c a t e for prioritizing family and civil values to all you may touch or reach. Blatantly showing disrespect for our nation’s symbols will not only tarnish your name, but also besmirch our nation’s icons. Charles L. Frattini Manchester Twp. Councilman

Letters To The Editor Shouldn’t Be Too Proud It’s taken me over a month to get past the shock of reading just part of your article entitled “Local Comic Back on America’s Got Talent” on the front of your August 13th issue. So, this comedian “dropped the f-bomb on stage,” representing Whiting, and a letter is written on behalf of the Mayor saying “we are thrilled,” and “we are proud,” and “we are behind you every step of the way,” to this individual? Your article goes on to have the Mayor encouraging our local comic just as he would “one of our graduating high school students off to tackle the world.” Having thought about this a lot, it makes me wonder if the Mayor would write a letter of praise to any high school student who dropped the f-bomb while giving a speech during his or her graduation, or while applying for a job? While happy to see someone local on national TV, I’m disappointed in the Mayor for giving his blessing to this behavior. As for “America’s Got Talent,” I never watched it before and I certainly don’t intend to start watching it when Whiting is represented in this way. Chet Jelinski Whiting

Refused To Serve Last night, I watched Donald Tr ump tell why he thought he should be Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.

As I watched, I could not help but contrast his military experience with my ow n. Don ny a nd I graduated high school in the same month. He spent that summer having a good time, getting his first deferment. I spent that summer, like thousands of others, in basic training. While Donny was enjoying his second semester of college, my brother in law was killed in Vietnam. I was in Georgia, learning to be an operating room assistant. When Donny received his second deferment, I was at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, helping to deal with the hundreds of casualties of the war our country was fighting. When Donny got his third deferment, I was overseas. When he got his fourth deferment, I was just out of the Army and looking for a job, and struggling with PTSD. Donny graduated college that year. With his degree, if he had accepted his fifth call to serve his country, would likely have been put in the Finance Corps, and would have served his entire term of service at Fort Benjamin Harris, signing checks. Donny, instead, wrangled a fifth deferment. So, my question is, should the Commander in Chief be a coward who thought he was too good to serve, even as a payroll clerk? A man who calls those who did serve, “losers,” a man whose military service is less than that of a WAC, – should this man, who re-

Support Hagler For Commissioner A lifelong resident of Long Beach Island, I am thrilled to learn that Danielle Hagler, a young woman who I’ve known for over 30 years, is now a candidate running for Commissioner of Long Beach Township. In the many years I’ve known Danielle, I have found her to be an intelligent, highly motivated, honest, ethical, successful, kind and allaround great person. Danielle has an abundance of experience in leadership and in years of bringing people together to improve their lives. She is a graduate of Southern Regional, Coastal Carolina University and holds a Master’s Degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Danielle’s success in all areas of employment (Hagler’s Marina, several positions in the Fulbright Commission) as well as her community involvement (Coastal Volunteers in Medicine), show that Danielle has the spirit and attitude that it takes to represent the residents of Long Beach Township both impartially and successfully. Knowing that she is one of very few women to run for the Board of Commissioners for Long Beach Township, I couldn’t be more hopeful or excited for my friends/ neighbors who live in the Township and who have the opportunity to elect Danielle. While we all are aware of the high concentration of women business owners/operators in the Township, having Danielle on the Board of commissioners will provide an impartial, yet highly experienced voice for the men and women of Long Beach Township. Danielle and her husband have a vested interest in keeping Long Beach Township a hometown commu-

nity, one in which to reside and raise their newborn daughter. Although I reside in Barnegat Light, I take an interest in what is happening in each of the towns of the Island as one aspect or another will surely impact me. It’s my belief that Danielle Hagler will serve the residents of Long Beach Township well, and that she is the type of person needed to lead the Township community in the right direction. I fully support Danielle and her team because they represent what our Island community needs most. Becky Tarditi Barnegat Light

Lenape Homeland We’ve all heard place names like Man hattan, Hoboken, Rumson, Navesink and Manasquan. What few know is that these are all Lenape words, the language of the native people of New Jersey, along with Delaware, and the NYC-Philly metro areas. But in the region, there isn’t a single federally recognized Lenape reservation. Looking deeper into the history reveals broken treaties, broken promises, genocide, and forced exile. Lenape survivors were forced under duress to Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. The maltreatment and murder of Lenape is the dirty secret of New Jersey history. One that most ignore entirely, or heavily whitewash. The Lenape were promised their own sovereign state in New Jersey for fighting the British during the American Revolution. The government lied. They proceeded to kick out the survivors from their land, with a mere $1,000 Spanish Dollar payment under duress. End this genocide, fraud, and apartheid. Give Lenapehoking back to the Lenape, stop the fraud of New Jersey, and tell Chris Christie the Governor isn’t wearing any clothes. Eric Hafner Toms River

Global Education For Girls Series Involves Students And Community

TOMS RIVER – Beyond the Classroom and Critical Concerns: Global Education for Girls is a two-month celebration co-sponsored by the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College, Georgian Court University, and the Ocean County Library System. According to Mark Wilson, director of cultural affairs at Ocean County College, the idea for this project began when Wilson met Joan Osa Oviawe, an immigrant from Nigeria, co-founder/executive director of Grace Foundation-Nigeria, and professor at Cornell University, and Mary Mihelic, a painter who’s “53 Running Girls” exhibit was inspired by the girls who escaped Boko Haram. “Their stories and work inspired me to collaborate with colleagues from Georgian Court University and the Toms River Library on Beyond the Classroom and Critical Concerns: Global Education for Girls,” he explained. “The goal of the program is to engage students, audience members, and residents of the Jersey Shore, in an open dialogue on both the cultural values that affect girls’ access to primary and secondary education, as well as the historical development that has driven their increased access globally,” Wilson continued.

HHS Awards $1.6M For Health Centers’ IT Enhancements In New Jersey

LAKEWOOD – Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell announced $1,664,595 in funding for 23 health centers in New Jersey for health information technology enhancements. Among them are two Lakewood-based facilities: Lakewood Resource And Referral Center Inc. that received $69,134; and Ocean Health Initiatives Inc., that received $72,771. In total, the announcement includes $87 million in funding for 1,310 health centers in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Pacific Basin. “Health centers across the country are instrumental in providing high-quality, comprehensive primary health care to millions of people,” said Burwell. “This investment will help unlock health care data and put it to work, improving health outcomes and building a better health care system for the American people.” The funding will support health information technology enhancements to accelerate health centers’ transition to value-based models of care, improve efforts to share and use information to support better decisions, and increase engagement in delivery system transformation. To support these goals, all purchases or upgrades

of electronic health record systems made with the funding must use technology that is certified by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. This is the first significant investment since 2009 directly awarded to health centers to support the purchase of health information technology. “These awards will allow health centers to deliver higher quality of care to patients and spend health care dollars in a smarter way,” said Jim Macrae, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Acting Administrator. Nearly 1,400 health centers operating over 9,800 sites provide care to more than 24 million people across this nation, in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Pacific Basin. Today, health centers employ nearly 190,000 people. This funding comes from the Affordable Care Act’s Community Health Center (CHC) Fund, which was extended with bipartisan support in the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015. The increased use of health information technology is part of the administration’s efforts to build a health care system that delivers better care, smarter spending and healthier people.

GLAUCOMA STEM-CELL TREATMENT

Glaucoma is an eye disease associated with increased inner-eye (“intraocular”) pressure, which can damage the optic nerve and cause irreversible blindness if left untreated. The most important step in preventing glaucoma-related vision loss is to get a professional diagnosis by undergoing regular comprehensive eye exams. Otherwise, people suffering from glaucoma may not even realize that they have the disease, which often does not present early obvious symptoms until it is too late to preserve vision. Once detected, glaucoma can be addressed with any number of treatments designed to lower intraocular pressure. Researchers are also currently experimenting with transforming stem cells derived from human skin cells into “retinal ganglion cells,” which may be used to develop new future treatments. Today’s informative column on the subject of advances made in the field of treating glaucoma has been brought to you in the interest of better eye health. We are a complete eye care facility. From surgery to regular eye exams, we offer the best care. Let us at SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., help you determine what is best for your situation. For more information, or to schedule an appointment, please call us at 732-349-5622. We’re here to help.

P.S. Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which are nerve cells that carry visual signals from the eye to the brain, may provide a key to unlocking the underlying mechanism of glaucoma and offer new ways to detect and prevent the eye disease.

OCEAN COUNTY – “About 1 of every 5 children in the United States is obese or overweight and certain groups of children are more affected than others,” stated Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “We realize there is no simple solution; National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month provides an opportunity for learning about ways to prevent and address this serious health concern.” Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator, said, “Children who are overweight or obese as preschoolers are 5 times more likely as normal-weight children to be overweight or obese as adults. This can lead to lifelong physical and mental health problems, including diabetes and increased risk of certain cancers.” Regenye continued, “Childhood obesity is influenced by many factors. For some children and families, factors include too much time spent in sedentary activities such as television viewing; a lack of bedtime routine leading to too little sleep; a lack of community places to get adequate physical activity; easy access to inexpensive, high calorie snacks and beverages; and/or a lack of access to affordable,

healthier foods. Another issue obese children face is bullying and the stigma of being obese.” Some ways parents can help prevent obesity and support healthy growth in their children are: Make sure children get adequate sleep, follow recommendations on daily screen (TV, computers) time, and eat the right amount of calories. Parents can substitute higher nutrient, lower calorie foods such as fruit and vegetables in place of foods with higher-calorie ingredients, such as added sugars and solid fats. Parents can ensure access to water as a no-calorie alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages. Parents can help children get the recommended amount of physical activity each day by encouraging them to participate in activities that are age-appropriate and enjoyable. There are a variety of age appropriate aerobic and muscle and bone strengthening activities that kids can do. The Ocean County Health Department offers programs on obesity, nutrition and physical activity for schools, parents and the community.

Parenting Wisely

OCEAN COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Parenting Wisely is a highly interactive online parenting course designed by family and social scientists to equip parents with the tools necessary to engage their children in difficult family scenarios. Parents would learn constructive skills proven to lessen drug and alcohol abuse in youth, school and homework problems, delinquency and other problem behaviors, family conflict, and more. It holds the distinction of being the only online parent education course for families that is currently listed on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Registry for Evidence-based Programs and Practices. The program, also available in Spanish, is 3 to 5 hours long. Each parent has six months to complete the course. Parents are taken through the course one question at a time. The participant watches a video with a common family scenario and is given choices on how they would handle that situation. At the end of each chapter

there is a small quiz. The site includes parent forums as well as a take home guide for future reference. The goal of Parenting Wisely is to equip parents with the skills they need to improve family interactions. Parenting Wisely is evidence-based and has been proven to reduce teen alcohol and drug use, aggressive behaviors, and improve overall family communication. Each chapter explores scenarios to improve parenting skills in all situations. Some of the chapters include helping children to do housework; loud music, chores incomplete; helping children do better in school; sharing the computer; curfew; sibling conflict; step parenting; getting up on time; school, homework, friends; and finding drugs.

Ocean Ride Recognized As Outstanding System Of The Year

OCEAN COU NTY – Ocean Ride, Ocean County’s public transportation system, has been recognized as the 2016 Outstanding System of the Year by the New Jersey Council on Special Transportation (NJ COST) a statewide advocacy association formed in 1981 to provide information and support for community based transit services.

Director David Fitzgerald noted that Ocean Ride is on the forefront of County transportation services in New Jersey. “Ocean Ride’s ability to serve older adults and individuals with disabilities by providing critical services in assisting residents seeking to remain independent is unmatched statewide,” Fitzgerald said.

In 2015, Ocean Ride provided 313,167 trips. Ocean Ride is funded in part by a grant from NJ Transit under the Senior Citizen and Disabled Resident Transportation Assistance Program, which revenues are derived from casino revenues. In an effort to maximize its funding,

Ocea n Cou nt y has made i mpor t a nt upgrades to its transportation software system, including new on board tablets in the vehicles making it more efficient for drivers and more helpf ul for its ridership. In addition the department continues to monitor all service levels for efficiencies. The county’s contribution for the service accounts for roughly $2.9 million, which represents more than 53 percent of Ocean Ride’s total budget. Ocean Ride began in 1977 with four vehicles and four drivers. Ocean Ride system has expanded to include a transit f leet of 72 vehicles and 62 full-time and part-time drivers.

Specialized Care for the Memory Impaired

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

Elbow Up For some folks, inserting your hearing aid into your ear can be a real struggle. Sometimes you twist and turn the hearing aid which eventually creates a sore ear. Here are a few tricks you can utilize to properly insert your hearing instrument into your ear canal. First, for custom, non-behind-the-ear products, the “red” writing on the aid is for the right ear and the “blue” writing is for the left ear. Second, when you are inserting the aid, the “vent hole” is usually on the bottom of the aid facing outside.

Third, as you are trying to insert the instrument, make sure your elbow is “up” in line with your ear and push toward your nose. If your elbow is down, you may not insert the aid in the right direction. Thus, the aid may “stick” out of your ear and constantly ring. Remember, if you are struggling with hearing aid insertion, keep your elbow up while inserting the aid. This will make life a lot simpler and alleviate potential ear soreness and feedback. Finally, make sure you keep in close contact with your hearing healthcare professional who is there for guidance.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His ofﬁces are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

THE MAX CHALLENGE OF BRICK Change Your Life in 10 Weeks!

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

This is How you Feed your Brain By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

The biggest fear that older people face is Alzheimer’s disease, where memory and cognition begin to fade. I recently reviewed a client’s list of medications and he was taking two drugs to preserve brain function, Aricept and Namenda. These drugs are useful to some degree, but I feel that there are foods, spices and herbs in your own kitchen that go a long way to preserve cognitive function, stabilize mood and lower levels of anxiety. I absolutely love spices that heal, so much so that I have a free ebook “Spices that Heal” which you can download right now at my website suzycohen.com. This ebook talks about spices that heal all kinds of conditions. Now, here is how you properly feed your brain: Put hemp seeds in your salad. Hulled hemp seeds put healthy fats into your body, and offset the bad fats typical of an American diet. Hemp seeds have practically no THC, the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. They have a perfect 3:1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids. Put a tablespoon (daily) on your salad, scrambled eggs or roasted vegetables. Sprinkle my recipe for Brainpower Season Salt. Mix together the following 6 seasonings in equal amounts and put into an empty salt shaker. Sprinkle as desired: Rosemary, powdered gotu kola (get from an apothecary), himalayan salt, onion powder, powdered garlic (not garlic salt) and powdered turmeric. Eat mushrooms. I’m not talking Portabellos, I’m referring to Lion’s Mane

which gives us the active ingredient of Hericium erinaceus. Lion’s Mane is sold as a dietary supplement, and known for its potent neuroregenerative powers. I buy the real mushrooms in the fresh produce section and butter sauté them with Brussels sprouts and garlic. Lion’s Mane is a neurotrophic so my pick for you if you have any kind of brain damage from anything (trauma, benzos, mold, etc). Drink Juice. We all think of antioxidants as a dietary supplement, like Vitamin C, for example. Citrus juice is a great source of natural vitamin C so a few ounces of orange juice would provide natural C which helps you make dopamine, serotonin and other neurotransmitters that a healthy brain requires. Eat Foliage. By foilage, I mean salads and greens to give you folate, the natural form of the synthetic vitamin “folic acid.” Leafy greens like kale, spinach, broccoli, Swiss chard and lettuce have a lot of folate. Greens also provide powerful antioxidants so eat something green every day. I recommend you cook cruciferous vegetables in order to reduce goitrogens. Obviously you don’t cook the lettuce. Say yes when they offer black pepper. The servers will often ask if you want black pepper on your salad at restaurants. Say yes next time because piperine, the primary component of black pepper slows the breakdown of serotoin and raises other feel-good endorphins. Studies are ongoing for black pepper’s role in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

Inside The Law Is Rental Insurance Necessary?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Robert Shea and Michael Deem of R.C. Shea & Associates

Strictly speaking, a lessee–you–is not required to pay the rental company additional money to insure their rented vehicle in the event the lessee is involved in a collision. New Jersey requires that all rental agencies provide liability coverage for lessees in the sum of $15,000.00 per person for bodily injury or death, $30,000.00 for bodily injury or death of all persons in one accident and $5,000.00 for property damage arising out of the negligent maintenance, use or operation of the rental vehicle upon public highways. In New Jersey, every owner or registrant of a vehicle must maintain certain statutorily minimum coverage for bodily injury, death and property damage. A lessor, such as Avis or Enterprise, is the owner of the rental vehicle(s), therefore they are legally responsible for maintaining the statutorily minimum insurance on their vehicles. An insurer’s policy that attempts to exclude

you (the lessee) from coverage is not enforceable. A rental company cannot take away your statutory rights. Michael J. Deem Esq. In addition, your personal automobile insurance policy will act as excess insurance in the event you injure someone or damage their property as a result of the negligent maintenance, use or operation of the rental vehicle upon public highways. If you choose to pay the rental company extra money for their insurance then ask them what it is you are purchasing? If they are legally required to provide you with basic liability coverage are you then purchasing excess insurance? If so how much additional insurance are you purchasing?

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward. 732-505-1212 ● RCSHEA.COM

Health Department Recommends Flu Shots

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Board of Health recommends residents get flu shots before flu season starts. “It is important to remember, when you get your flu shot, you not only protect yourself from the flu but you also avoid spreading it to others. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) points out that anyone over the age of 6 months should receive a flu shot; therefore, if you have someone in your

home less than 6 months of age or someone who cannot receive a flu shot, it’s important that everyone else in the household, including caregivers, receive their flu shot,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who is Chairperson of the Ocean County Office of Senior Services, points out how devastating

flu can be to older adults. Vicari adds, “The Ocean County Health Department is offering flu/pneu shots in many of our older adult communities to make it easier to access these important immunizations. The OCHD is also offering Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) and shingles vaccinations at these clinics.” Daniel E. Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator, stated, “Influenza is contagious and caused by the influenza virus, which can be

spread by coughing, sneezing, or nasal secretions. Symptoms usually last only a few days in most people and may include: fever, cough, sore throat, headaches, chills, muscle aches and fatigue. There are other illnesses with the same symptoms and are often mistaken for flu,” said Regenye. He continued, “Infants, the elderly, pregnant women and people that have certain health conditions, such as lung, heart or kidney disease or those with a weakened immune system, can get much sicker if they have the flu. There are thousands of deaths each year due to seasonal flu and even more require hospitalization. Vaccination is extremely important for pregnant women and people with chronic diseases.” The 2016-2017 flu shot campaign will offer three choices for flu vaccination, which include: Regular dose for all people 6 month age and older – this is an injection into the muscle of the upper arm. This vaccine gives good protection from severe disease. High-dose for people 65 years of age and older – is designed to provide a higher immunity level for those 65 years of age or older. This age group is at a higher risk of severe consequences if they get the flu. Intradermal for people 18 to 64 years of agethis vaccine is injected just beneath the skin of the upper arm with a needle that is 90 percent smaller than the needle used for the “regular” vaccination. It provides the same protection as other flu vaccines for this age group. You may get a “mosquito bite-like” reaction in the skin from this vaccine. It is important for people to know that although flu shots give good protection against the flu, you can still get the flu, although the flu vaccination should lessen the severity of the illness. You cannot get the flu from the flu vaccine. Leslie Terjesen, OCHD Public Information Officer, said that the pneumococcal vaccine or the pneu shot, is important for all people 65 years of age and older to prevent pneumococcal pneumonia, a common cause of severe pneumonia in the age group. People who have the flu may also be more susceptible to infection with the bacteria that can cause this pneumonia. Terjesen added there will be approximately 70 public flu/pneu clinics in numerous municipalities throughout Ocean County. Medicare Part B covers the cost of a flu and pneu shot. For those without Medicare Part B or have a Medicare Managed Care Plan, the cost will be $20. A physician’s note or prescription is required for a pneumonia shot for those under the age of 65. Flu shots for both adults and children will be offered at the same time in addition to the different types of vaccines. “It is important to get your children vaccinated against flu; the rates of infection are highest among children. In addition, all children from six months to 59 months who attend any licensed child care or preschool facility must be vaccinated against flu between September 1 and December 31. During this year’s flu/pneu clinics, additional Health Department services will be offered. Live Healthy Ocean County will be offered at several of the flu/pneu sites. As part of this program, you will be able to get a blood pressure reading, osteoporosis screening and a stroke risk assessment. In addition, other adult immunizations will be available, including the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) and Shingles. For more information about flu shots, location and times of clinics, call the OCHD at 732-3419700, ext. 7604, or visit ochd.org.

we can talk about anything they want to talk about,” Ducey said. “Even if they just want to know what my favorite ﬂavor of ice cream is,” he joked. (It’s chocolate chocolate chip). Early on in the latest program, the mayor got a question from a resident named John, who asked about a September 21 article in the Asbury Park Press that said Chromium-6 (a chemical compound that can cause cancer, liver damage and other problems) had been found in the tap water of 200 million Americans, including the tap water in Brick. “Brick MUA is a separate entity,” Ducey said. “I was in contact with them and they will do their own press release regarding the article.” The mayor said that in eight township water tests, the levels of Chromium-6 were .037 ppb, .033 ppb, and six had no detection levels at all. “I wasn’t familiar with it,” he said. “The MUA will be supplying a lot more information.” Ducey took his second (and last) question of the night from “Cathy from Cedarcroft,” who said her street had been paved but workers never came back to ﬁ x her driveway. “I spoke to the onsite engineer and contractor, and they will be there until next Wednesday or Thursday,” the mayor said. “Private message us your address on Facebook; they might have skipped you by accident.” During the remainder of the program Ducey made public service announcements, such as reminding people to register to vote by October 18. The township clerk is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and would have extended hours on October 18 until 8 p.m. for late registrants, he said.

The always-popular “Trunk or Treat” will be on October 21 at the Drum Point Sports Complex, where children can go trick-or-treating from car to car. A trophy will be awarded to the best decorated car, Ducey said. To register for the contest call 732-262-1073 anytime after September 26. “We have a new idea, and this is the fi rst time we’re announcing it publicly: Brick Snow Corps will be for volunteers to help senior citizens clear snow from their sidewalks and access to their homes,” he said. “It’s a special program because people are always asking how they can help out the town,” he said.

Professional Profile New Jersey Hematology Oncology Associates

By Robert Verderese 2016 marks the 20th anniversary of New Jersey Hematology Oncology Associates (NJHOA)—a premiere medical practice in Ocean County, specializing in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of blood diseases (hematology) and cancer (oncology). Founded in Brick, NJ by Dr. Amin in 1996, the practice quickly grew and was joined by Jayne Pavlak-Schenk, DO, in 2000. NJHOA opened an additional office in Toms River, NJ in 2005 and in 2011 Dr. Agrawal joined the practice. Providing a broad range of services including molecular tumor profiling, immunotherapy, clinical trials and heredity cancer screening, NJHOA offers cutting-edge cancer care with compassion for you and your loved-ones. At NJHOA, Dr. Apurv Agrawal places a great deal of importance on communication with his patients and their families: “I always take the time to educate my patients about their disease and I treat them with the highest degree of respect. I believe in delivering exceptional care without exception.” Dr. Agawal is a lifelong New Jersey resident. He was born in Hackensack, and grew up in Edison and Jackson. Board certified in Medical oncology, Internal Medicine, and Hospice and Palliative Care Medicine, Dr. Agawal has been voted as one of “America’s Top Oncologists” by Consumers’ Research Council of America in 2012, 2013, and 2014. In 2015 he was featured in NJ Monthly magazine and recognized as a “Jersey Choice Top Doc.”

apy mainly consists of boosting the immune system’s natural ability to detect and kill abnormal cells. “Immunotherapy is on the forefront of cancer treatment and gives patients who don’t respond to conventional therapy more options,” Dr. Agrawal asserts. Another important service provided at NJHOA is hereditary cancer screening. “The genes we are born with may contribute to our risk of developing certain types of cancer, including breast, ovarian, colorectal, and prostate cancer,” says Dr. Amin, founder of NJHOA, who is Board Certified in Medical Oncology, Hematology, and Internal Medicine. “If you have a family history of cancer, we can help you understand your risk for disease. We offer genetic counseling and testing, and can assist you in making informed medical decisions.” “We also offer the latest clinical trials,” adds Jayne Pavlak-Schenk, DO, who was born in Perth Amboy, New Jersey and grew up on the Gulf Coast and in New Jersey. Dr. Jayne PavThe Brick office is located at 1608 Route 88, Suite 250 and the phone lak-Schenk is number is 732-840-8880. Board Certified The goal of NJHOA to provide the most cutting-edge treatment for their patients cannot be overstated: “I am a proponent of molecular profiling in that it helps me choose a treatment regimen for my patients,” explains Dr. Agrawal. Molecular profiling is a method of testing that looks at each person’s cancer tumor and studies the genetic characteristics as well as any unique biomarkers. “This targeted approach helps us to develop individual, cancer-specific treatment plans for our patients,” continues Dr. Agrawal. The physicians at NJHOA are also champions of a cancer treatment called “Immunotherapy.” This is a type of treatment that uses the body’s own immune system to fight cancer. The ther-

Dr. Amin in Internal Medicine and Medical Oncology. A cancer clinical trial is a medical research study in which people participate as volunteers to test new and better methods of prevention, screening, diagnosis, or treatment of a disease. “Some cancer patients may fear that enrolling in a clinical trial means they might receive a placebo or that the treatment might have adverse effects, but the reality is that patients in clinical trials receive either the best cancer treatment currently known for their cancer, or new, and possibly more effective, therapy,” Jayne Pavlak-Schenk, DO, explains. “We offer the latest clinical trials for multiple disease states in the convenience of our office, affording our patients state-of-the-art treatment options close to their homes,” she maintains. A Toms River resident was traveling every week to a University Hospital in New York City for a clinical trial to treat her stage lV lung cancer. The next thing she knew, her Dr. switched hospitals. She thought it was the end of her clinical trial when, lo and behold, her Dr. recommended her to see Dr. Agrawal, whereby allowing her to continue on a clinical trial close to her home. Offering the latest clinical trials close to their patient’s homes, the physicians at NJHOA spare their patents the inconvenience and cost of commuting to major cities to receive

high-quality treatment. Another patient from Point Pleasant who had stage lV prostate cancer was initially treated in the Brick office with PROVENGE immunotherapy—the first and only FDA approved immunotherapy for advanced prostate cancer. He is now in a clinical trial with a tumor vaccine and feels like he is winning the battle with his cancer. With offices in Toms River and Brick, NJHOA boasts a community-based reputation that is unsurpassed. “We take great pride in offering the most compassionate oncology care for the people in our community. If somebody calls our office and tells us they just found out that they have cancer, we will try to see them as soon as possible—typically within 24 hours,” Dr. Agrawal says. “There are also times when patients sound particularly distressed. For those patients, we tell them to come in immediately.” For more information, visit their website at NJHOA.com or call their Brick office at 732-840-8880 or Toms River office at 732-2441440. The Brick office, located at 1608 Route 88, Suite 250, is open Monday-Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday. The Toms River office, located at Winding River Medical Park, 508 Lakehurst Road, Suite 1B, is open on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Our House Was Our Castle And Our Keep

Dear Joel My wife and I are both retired. I am writing because she may see this and realize that it’s her that I am referring to. Our house is filthy and disgusting. I can no longer look in the refrigerator. Our stove hasn’t been cleaned in months and the bathroom equally as dirty. Any suggestions as to how to change her? Answer: My suggestion is (as always) stop trying to change her and work on yourself. I see nothing in your letter that makes me feel that you are incapable of doing some housework. Too often people can help

situations but find it easier to blame others. Perhaps if your wife sees that you care enough to do the cleaning, she will follow suit. If my suggestion doesn’t fit, many people hire people to do the cleaning for them. If that is all that’s wrong in your home, consider yourself lucky. It’s not a heavy lift.

Wendell, North Carolina where she has taken many training classes. Keenan, Brick, is a retired Elizabeth police officer. This is the second year she and Xena, a stately, rescued Belgian Malinois, have come for the blessing on their rescue missions. It’s a mission Keenan embraced because “so many people and families need help in finding loved ones,” she said. The majority of the searches undertaken by the team have been for the K9 Emergency Response Team in North Carolina, she said. “They are like family down there,” said Keenan who added that she loves the ongoing mission. “We come (here) to ask for God’s help,” as they venture forth in the quest to reunite people with their loved ones. Janine Siano, also Br ick, brought Buzz, her very polite beagle to his first blessing since she rescued him from an area shelter. “We were away on vacation and went out of our way to be here,” said Siano who spoke of how Bu zz brought her out of a bout with anxiety and depression. “I wanted a dog to help me and I went to a shelter with thoughts of rescuing a shepherd,” she said as Buzz nuzzled her hand. “But Buzz picked me,” she added, describing how he approached her warmly and encouraged her to pet his head.” “He was a return to the shelter and he was the smallest dog there,” Siano said, noting that she quickly bonded with Buzz as did her husband.

“This feels like a great event,” Siano said of the day. “It feels Godly.” Along with the blessings, it was a day that offered a lot of practical information and entertainment. The church Pet Ministry rounded up more than 30 animal related vendors and 10 non-profit organizations focusing on rescue and adoption. There were demonstrations by professional dog trainers and K-9 demonst rations and canine massage therapists. A highlight of the visit for many children was the petting zoo set up by Legacy Ranch, Howell, where Pastor Darby conveyed blessings to, among others, a couple of skunks, Tom the turkey, a duck named AFLAC, an emu, a lama and a very fetching pig. There was a lot of traffic in and out of the rescue organizations including the trailer operated by the S.A.V.E. Rescue Shelter cur rently located on Fischer Blvd. in Toms River but soon to move into a new facility on Route 9, according to Michele Verga who called the day a good over all outreach to the community at large. And that is the intention of the ministry said Ivy Kirn, who helped found it. “Our mission is to support and honor God’s charge to us to honor the animals,” said Kirn. She added that the group steadfastly works make good on that pledge, not only with the Blessing and fair, but with initiatives throughout the year. A new initiative is to ask congregants to contribute to support a shelter every month. There are two shelters receiving support now, she said. “Our goal is to have a 12 month presence,” over time, she said.

BONELESS PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH PORT & WHOLE-GRAIN MUSTARD SAUCE Serves 4 2 whole organic chickens, 2 1/2 to 3 pounds (1.25 to 1.5 kg) each Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 cups (500 mL) port wine 2 cups (500 mL) good-quality canned chicken stock or broth 2 tablespoons bottled tomato-based barbecue sauce or hoisin sauce 4 tablespoons heavy cream 1 heaping teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 heaping teaspoon Meaux (whole-grain) mustard 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives Starting alongside each chicken’s breastbone and following the ribcage, use a sharp knife to cut the meat away from the bones on each side; cut through the leg joints. Trim off the wings, leaving the drumettes attached. Cut out the leg bones to produce 2 boned halves from each chicken.

Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Over high heat, heat the oil in a heavy ovenproof frying pan large enough to hold the chicken. Carefully add the chicken skin-down. Sear undisturbed until the skin is golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer to the oven and roast skin down until the skin is deep golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Return the pan to the stovetop, turn the chicken skin up, and sear over high heat 1 to 2 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken to a platter and keep warm. Pour off the fat from the skillet. Add the port and swirl over high heat, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon as needed, to deglaze the pan. Add the stock. Simmer briskly until reduced by about two thirds. Stir in the barbecue sauce or hoisin. Stir in the cream, bring back to a boil, and continue simmering briskly, stirring, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the mustards. Return the chicken to the pan along with any juices that have collected. Over low heat, turn the chicken to coat with the sauce and warm it briefly. Serve with your choice of sides, garnishing the chicken with fresh herbs and the port/ mustard sauce.
