Talking the Talk About Walking the Walk

B

By Hillary Petetti, MSPT, Home Physical Therapist

eing able to walk is something that most people take for granted until they sustain an injury which prevents them from getting around. Think about all the times you walk during the day - even around your home: to the kitchen to get a snack, to the bathroom to take a shower, to the mailbox to pick up the circulars, to a family member to give them a hug. Now think about if you couldn’t do that. Many injuries result in pain, weakness, and loss of balance, all of which prevent walking without a high risk of falling and further injury.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE INJURED AND CANNOT SAFELY WALK ALONE? Oftentimes your doctor or even your family member will recommend a walker or a cane, which in clinical terms are also known as assistive devices. The problem is that many people resist using them because they do not understand how to use them or they do not know which kind to use, as there are many different kinds of devices (e.g. standard walkers, rolling walkers, rollators, single point canes, narrow based quad canes, wide based quad canes).

Unfortunately, just having a walker or a cane does not solve the problem. Sometimes people have the wrong device to suit their needs. For example, someone with very poor balance would require the greater support of a walker as opposed to a cane.

Someone with a cardiac condition would

require a walker with wheels as opposed to With your All-Care physical therapist, one without to decrease physical exertion either in the clinic or at home, you will while walking. learn how to use your assistive device to Using a device incorrectly can sometimes get you walking more safely and with less be just as dangerous as not using one at pain.

Hillary has worked in numerous settings over her 15 year career including school based pediatrics, acute care, outpatient, skilled nursing facilities, and is now excited about being a part of the All-Care Physical Therapy Home Care Team. Her areas of interest also include Women’s Health and she has taken multiple continuing education courses addressing the pervasive problem of urinary incontinence. In 2013, she became certified in LSVT BIG, a specialized program for Parkinson’s disease.

Hillary believes that a motivated patient is usually a successful patient. She has learned that the best way to motivate her patients is by empowering them, using a team approach, and including them in the decision making process on their journey back to health and improved quality of life.

Continued From Page 1 Mills: A Personal Ref lection, a 77-page hard-cover book filled with black and white and color photos of the people and places of that village. He gave a talk and signed books at the Jackson branch of the Ocean County Library in early March. The meeting room was packed with Jackson Mills residents, or even just men and women who visited the place back in the 1940s and 50s, the period in which Applegate grew up and wrote about in his book.

Jackson Mills, off exit 22 of Route 195, still retains some of its rural quietness.

Any place not easily accessible by bicycle or foot might as well have been the moon. Each village’s children pretty much lived life in their respective villages, save for school—Applegate graduated Lakewood High School in 1960, and went to Switlik when it first opened —and trips out with their mothers and fathers. The Strand in Lakewood was a special trip out for families back then.

The village children would congregate a rou nd Ap plegat e’s g r a nd mot he r’s television each Sunday, the only one in Jackson Mills for years.

Jackson Mills was unique amongst the villages. It not only had two general stores, one of which was owned by Applegate’s father, but two swimming holes: Jackson Mills lake and another “lake,” more like a big pond, behind his father’s store.

His parents worked seven days a week at the store, which left him to fend for himself most of the time.

“We were pretty much, the neighborhood kids and myself, alone all day. We became fairly self-reliant. It gave us an independent streak. We didn’t have to depend on a lot of people,” Applegate said.

Applegate was inspired to create his book when he saw Victoria O’Donnell’s book , Image s of Amer ica: Jack son Township.

“She encouraged me. I worked with her when she was doing her book. She bought a lot of my photographs. She told me, ‘You ought to write a history of Jackson,’ but I wanted to go in a different direction since she already wrote a history,” Applegate said.

Today offers so many more distractions. Jackson started to suburbanize in the 1960s, bringing with it stores and other conveniences that changed the make-up of the township forever.

Those changes of course ushered in a population explosion, if one dares call it that. Whereas a few thousand people were spread out around the township, there are now nearly 60,000 people in Jackson.

“Any change that happens, people are suspicious about it, grumble about any kind of a change. Most people don’t like change,” Applegate said. “It wasn’t that bad, because the change was kind of gradual. The developments started up and each year got a little bit bigger.”

Applegate stayed, and joined the Jackson Police Department in 1961, becoming one of Jackson’s first of three fulltime police officers. The address of the current police headquarters is 102, in honor of Applegate’s badge number. He

retired after almost 40 years of service.

Jackson Mills: A Personal Ref lection is available for purchase from Applegate. He can be reached at 732-8613572.

The project would cost $3 million, and would be paid for through bonds that would take 20 years to pay off.

“The county has 623 miles of roads and we look at them all on an annual basis,” county engineer John Ernst said. Once it is determined that roadwork needs to be done, the county then determines whether the project can be done in-house by the county road department or if it has to go to contractors.

The Jackson Times, March 18, 2017, Page 5 The freeholders also awarded a bid to Earle Asphalt Company for various road reconstruction and resurfacing projects.

This was part of a 2016 contract, in the amount of $2,735,413.13. The roads improved are as follows: Toms River: 1.8 miles of Church Road from Route 9 to North Bay. Toms River: 1.4 miles of Fischer Boulevard from Bay Avenue to Shore Boulevard.

In yet another project, the county will be acquiring a portion of roadway near the intersection of Lacey Road and Manchester Avenue in Lacey Township. This, the engineer said, was to widen the jughandle.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

FEATURED LETTER New Bail Risk Prediction Computers Part Of Incredibly Flawed System Much has been made about New Jersey’s new bail risk-prediction computer.

Highly touted for its use of sophisticated analytics, it invokes visions of sci-fi movie crime prevention of the future. In actuality, game show host Steve Harvey would be far more appropriate as the presenter of this bungled system.

Its true implementation simply takes a survey of criminals and their statistics while out on bail. A point system based on it is created and voila! Each defendant is assigned a decidedly low-tech score.

Low score = get out of jail free; medium score = ankle monitor; high score = jail with no bail. It sounds easy, but it is nothing more than junk science, hidden behind view of both the public and criminal defendants.

In the movie The Wizard of Oz, the great and powerful Oz turns out to be neither great nor powerful. New Jersey’s bail risk computers are similarly hiding behind a curtain. No one is allowed to inspect the mathematical assumptions or data that was used to build them, or even check the math.

Instead, the public is told

that the great and powerful Oz, in the guise of the state, has spoken and they are left to trust it.

When deciding whether defendants get out of jail free or not, all we really have are some state officials playing Steve Harvey, asking, “And the survey says?” The computers then decide for us.

Frankly, what the survey says is alarming.

The system is telling judges that people who have been arrested and have a history of dangerous behavior are not more likely to commit a new crime or flee. Therefore, they should be released from jail. This includes individuals who have repeatedly burglarized homes, solicited children for sex, fired guns at others, dealt 37 bricks of heroin in a poor neighborhood, threatened to kill police or have stolen money from a Sunday school.

The state of New Jersey must pull the curtain back on the new bail risk prediction computers and expose it for the fatally flawed system it is. The public has a right to know.

With Due Respect After reading an article on ordinances that would prohibit dormitories in Jackson, I have to ask the Orthodox men quoted, who moved to Jackson in August: Why did you move here? Was it for the peace and quiet?

Because of the proximity to work? Maybe it was the outstanding school system? These are legitimate reasons to move to a town.

But you are not living in the town a year and you’re accusing the town of Jackson and its residents of targeting the Jewish population.

That’s not very neighborly or friendly, and defi nitely not a very good way or start to making friends in your new home town.

Now I see it a little differently. I see the Jewish population as targeting Jackson, its residents and neighboring communities.

I don’t see you moving here for the reasons above. I see you moving here to change or convert our towns to accommodate the small Jewish population that is just beginning to move into the towns adjacent to Lakewood. I see the Jewish population forcing and pushing their cultural and religious way of life on Jackson, its residents and our neighbors. The way it has done in Lakewood for years.

The Jewish population has been moving here for a year or two. They make up a very very small part of our population and yet you are speaking openly that you’re due

Letters To The Editor a Yeshiva even a dormitory and move here. A way of life New Jersey state construcwhich you’re now fighting for. Only here a year or so and the Jewish population feels it needs to build to accommodate themselves? It doesn’t sound right or make sense. It took years and generations of growth before Jackson saw a need to build a second high school.

Now before anyone who doesn’t know me star ts judging me for what I write and speak. I would like to say that I’m writing this with a very open mind. People who do know me would confirm this. My wife of 25 years who I love with all my heart is Jewish. My kids are Jewish. I have a sizable in-law family that is Jewish. There is a difference between my Jewish family and those of Lakewood.

My family is what I like to call Americanized Jewish.

Others say westernized.

Either way, they did as my immigrant ancestors did.

They came here got their citizenship and adapted to the American way of life, not try to change it. They practice their religion and traditions freely, openly and without hate, bias, prejudice or anti-semitism. That is the Jackson way and what makes us American.

We have the right to fight for our way of life and so we should, knowing the Jewish population is not moving into our towns and communities to better them, to respect them or for the reasons mentioned above.

We like our way of life the way it is. That is the reason we have chosen to live here

Stop Asking The Wrong Construction Questions As a firefighter, I am writing to urge our state legislature to strengthen our building codes before it’s too late.

New Jersey has seen a significant rise in the amount of multi-unit apartment fires, and each time the fire services are called to come and put out what could have been easily preventable flames.

Whether these dwellings are mid-construction, or fully occupied, every time a building goes up in flames our communities are threatened with tragic loss of life and property.

Legislators need to understand the connection between these fires and the use of lightweight, combustible wood construction as a means of quickly and cheaply erecting low-to-mid-rise residential buildings.

In January 2015, a fire destroyed a 240-unit apartment building in Edgewater, the wood structure burned for seven hours and left 500 people homeless.

More recently, a six-alarm fire in Maplewood destroyed part of an apartment complex under construction, again made from lightweight wood framing.

Fortunately, these fires have not resulted in loss of life, but a lax regulatory environment that encourages cheap construction in lieu of strong, durable construction materials such as steel and concrete will only lead to future blazes where we may not be so lucky.

State Assemblyman John Wisniewski, chairman of the New Jersey Fire Commission, has introduced legislation seeking to amend the

tion code with fire safety in mind. I urge his colleagues to follow suit.

Until legislators and code officials of all stripes mandate safer constr uction methods, we will continue seeing these structures built to the lowest common denominator.

When a building is being built there will always be those who ask, how quick, and how cheap? What we need are more people asking, how safe?

David Steward, NJ Fire Professional/Fire Police Hamilton

Full Funding Needed A new law that mandates tougher protection for thousands of children at risk of lead poisoning provides just a fraction of the potentially $10 million needed to carry out the expanded health mission.

The law funds only 15 percent of what could be a $10 million increase to health agencies.

This will challenge our health officials to effectively run this program.

There is no safe level of lead in a child’s blood and the effects are irreversible.

It can delay their growth, change their moods, their personality and school performance, it can affect their thinking and concentration.

Full funding should be a priority for the New Jersey Assembly.

It should be remembered that the state raided millions of dollars from the lead hazard control assistance fund to pay for routine state bills and salaries, about $50 million was diverted from the fund.

This should be reversed and fixed immediately.

Dancer Bill Protects Families From Smart TV Snooping Capitol Comments Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer 12th Legislative District, Serving Jackson

JACKSON – New Jersey fa m i l ie s wat ch i ng television and Netf lix on smart TVs are susceptible to high-tech spying t hat prompt e d leg islation int roduced by As-

semblyman Ron Dancer.

The bill (A4677) prohibits television manufacturers from exploiting technology used to monitor and collect data from viewers without consent.

“The technology inside today’s TVs make them a powerful tool for infiltrating living rooms and bedrooms of unsuspecting families, and the potential for abuse is staggering,” said Dancer (R—Ocean).

“The proliferation of these super TVs present privacy issues similar to drones outfitted with video cameras. In both cases, laws have to be cha nged to keep pace with rapidly developing technology to

protect the privacy of New Jerseyans.”

Vizio, a smart TV manufacturer, recently agreed to pay $2.5 million to settle charges that the company collected viewing data from more than 11 million televisions and sold the information to marketers.

The complaint alleged that Vizio violated the Federal Trade Com mission Act and New Jersey consumer protection laws.

“People don’t realize that

while they are watching their TV, it could be spying on them,” said Dancer.

“Even TVs available off the discount racks have the processing power of computers, sensitive microphones that can pick up conversations in the home, and even front-mounted cameras. Even more troubling, they are connected to the inter net th rough Wi-Fi which can be used to transmit personal information to servers any-

where in the world.”

Only a day after Dancer introduced his legislation, WikiLeaks released an enormous cache of information alleging the CIA has the ability to hack into Smart TVs. Dancer’s bill requires any connected television with voice recog n it ion features to include a clear notice to users. Before installing and setting up their TV, they must provide consent.

Panel Advances Dancer-Space Package Helping Bees

TRENTON – A package of bi l ls cit i ng t he importance of bees to the state’s agriculture indust r y received Assembly Agricult ure Committee approval by a 5 to 0 vote.

Sponsored by Assembly men Ron Dancer ( R- O c e a n) a n d Pa r ke r Space (R-Sussex), A3403 designates the common eastern bumble bee as the st ate native pollinator.

The second bill (A4606), s p o n s o r e d by D a n c e r, p r ov id e s a h a bit at for n a t ive b e e s a n d ot h e r pollinators in state parks and forests.

The third measure (AR216), also sponsored

by Dancer, encou rages homeowners to plant native plants that support bees and other pollinators.

“The common eastern

bumble bee is native to the Garden State and an important general pollinator for a wide range of crops our state is known for, i ncludi ng blueberries, cranberries, tomatoes and peppers,” said Dancer. “It’s considered one of the most important species of pollinator bees in North America.” “ T he s e b e e s a r e extremely adaptable,” said

Space whose family i s we l l - k n ow n fo r i t s long-standing agricultural commitment in Sussex County that spans eight generations. “They can live in the country, subu rbs, and u rban cities, making them the perfect species to be named New Jersey’s native pollinator.”

Dancer said the key to a successful agriculture

industr y in New Jersey is a healthy bee indust r y. The state’s 20,000 bee colon ies re present a $7 million honey bee industry that contributes to the production of nearly $20 0 m il l ion wor t h of fruits and vegetables annually.

“Providing nesting areas and habitats for bees helps us preserve our bee population which is vital

to our agriculture industry,” said Dancer, “New Jersey’s state parks and forest s a re t he per fect environment for nesting. “ Be e s a re c r ucial t o our food chain, yet the public knows very little about their importance,” he continued. “Encoura g i n g h o m e ow n e r s t o plant native plants will help keep bees healthy and thriving.”

LRRC Promotes Immunizations At YTT Expo

LAKEWOOD – An estimated 2,500 people who recently attended the Yeshiva Tiferes Torah Expo in the Fountain Ballroom at 725 Vassar Avenue, Lakewood, had an opportunity to learn about immunizations and their importance from representatives of the Lakewood Resource and Referral Center.

One mission of the LRRC, a federally designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, 212 Second St., Suite 204, is to promote the importance of complying with Centers for Disease Control immunization recommendations, and raise immunization awareness and compliance rates.

As part of this ongoing campaign, LRRC representatives distributed complimentary tote bags with the message “Help Fight Vaccine-Preventable Diseases,” as well as CDC-recommended immunization schedules and literature explaining the importance of vaccinating children.

In addition, 387 attendees completed questionnaires asking about their levels of awareness of and compliance with recommended immunizations. All attendees who completed questionnaires were entered in a raffle to win a $150.00 bank card.

Many of the attendees expressed interest in the LRRC and its pro-immunization message, and more than a dozen parents asked the LRRC to contact them for further immunization support.

Mayer Hoberman, Executive Director of So-

cial Services at the LRRC, said, “Maintaining up-to-date immunizations is essential to the health and well-being of the entire community. Many diseases and their complications are avoidable simply by getting vaccinated.

Why would anyone choose not to protect themselves and their children?”

For more information about immunizations or to schedule an immunization appointment, call Tzipporah Zar of CHEMED at 732-364-2144, ext. 282. For information about the LRRC, contact Yosef Stein at 732-942-9292, ext. 112 or at ystein@lrrcenter.org.

Jackson School District Will Hold Kindergarten Registration March 20 to 24

JACKSON – Parents of incoming kindergarteners are being encouraged to begin completing registration information now while they prepare to come in for the district’s Kindergarten Roundup registration March 20 to 24.

Kindergarten registration packets contain important information and forms that must be filled out, including an immunization form that must be finalized before students can be registered. Forms can be filled out using the district’s new online pre-registration system or by completing a traditional paper packet.

“This new online pre-registration process allows parents and guardians to fill out a good portion of the registration information online,’’ said Jackson School District Coordinator of Communications Allison Erwin.

“It will streamline the process and will save parents time during their kindergarten registration appointment time.’’

All information is on the district website,

jacksonsd.org, under the “For Parents and Students’’ tab and “Registering Your Child” link. The packets are available for download and can also be picked up at any elementary school.

Parents will bring completed registrations to their school during Kindergarten Registration Week, which will take place March 20 to 24 between the hours of 9:30 and 11:30 a.m.

Parents/guardians are asked to come on the date that corresponds to the first letter of their last name: March 20 – last names starting with A-C; March 21 - last names starting with D – H; March 22 - last names starting with I – M; March 23 - last names starting with N – R and March 24 - last names starting with S – Z.

Plumsted Police Receive Reaccreditation

PLUMSTED – The Plumsted Township Municipal Committee recognized and congratulated Chief Matt Petrecca and the members of the Plumsted Township Police Department for the recent successful completion of the onsite review for the reaccreditation of the Plumsted Police Department.

On March 5, the NJ Chiefs of Police Accreditation Review Committee held a policy review and public hearing on the status of the Plumsted Police Department in accordance with the NJ Chiefs of Police Standards. The Plumsted Police Department successfully completed the process with 100 per cent compliance.

To maintain their status the Police Department

must undergo an accreditation review every 3 years. The Plumsted Police Department has been an accredited police agency since 2010.

This Accreditation Process consists of documenting and adhering to 105 nationally recognized police standards that are based on recognized best practices and insuring that the police officers are trained to, and comply with those standards. This reaccreditation demonstrates that the Police Department is in compliance with these standards.

The adoption of these standards is to insure an efficient, consistent, fair, and transparent operation of the PD regarding their interaction with the public and performance of their duties.

Women’s Hearing Health: A Whole-Health Issue In recent years, the physical, social, and health issues that women face in their daily lives have been making headlines.

Campaigns like the Dove® Campaign for Real Beauty and the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women have been extremely successful at spreading awareness of women’s health issues However, the impact hearing health has on women’s overall health and self-esteem has gone largely unrecognized.

Maintaining and protecting your hearing health has value beyond the ability to hear and connect with your world; it is closely related to your physical, social, and mental well-being. Knowing your body’s relationship with hearing can help you stay mindful of your overall well-being and help create a path for healthier living.

Hearing Loss in Girls The overall prevalence of hearing loss is 10.5 percent for males and 6.8 percent for females. While males at all ages are more likely than females to be deaf or hard of hearing, the gap widens after age

18. Not helping these numbers, especially in millennials, is loud music.

More than 12 percent of children between the ages of 6 and 19 suffer from noise-induced hearing loss — about 5.2 million kids, reports a Centers for Disease Control study appearing in the July issue of Pediatrics.

Hearing plays a critical role in girls’ cognitive, social, and emotional development. If hearing loss goes undiagnosed, serious delays can occur, and speech and ability to understand language can be affected. Early detection and intervention can minimize the negative impacts of hearing loss. Parents should seek an evaluation for their child if they exhibit any of the hearing loss indicators above or fail to meet developmental milestones.

An audiologist can work closely with doctors, educators, and speech pathologists to perform tests and implement interventions, which will vastly improve a child’s overall future development — and improve the health prospects of the future of our local community.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Health Department is providing free potassium iodide (KI) pills to people who live or work within a 10-mile radius of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station.

The free pills are being offered at convenient locations throughout the county or at the Ocean County Health Department in Toms River.

“KI is being offered as a preparedness measure and not in response to any imminent danger or threat. The tablets are being offered to those living or working in these areas: Barnegat Light, Barnegat Township, Beachwood, Beach Haven, Berkeley Township, Toms River, Harvey Cedars, Island Heights, Lacey Township, Long Beach Township, Pine Beach, Ocean Township (Waretown), Ocean Gate, Seaside Park, Ship Bottom, South Toms River, Stafford, and Surf City,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health.

Health Department officials are asking residents to check their current supply to identify if their pills are due to expire in March 2017. Residents with pills expected to expire may bring

their old pills and trade them in for new ones.

Daniel E. Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator, said, “Potassium iodide, an ingredient found in table salt, can provide protection for the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine and can reduce the risk of thyroid cancer after a nuclear emergency. If this should occur, public health officials would tell you when to take the KI tablet. Only one dose is recommended, more could increase the risk of side effects.”

Residents who wish to receive KI tablets must bring some type of identification to show that they live or work within the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone area, such as a driver’s license, property tax record, utility bill, employee ID card or paystub. One family member can also pick up tablets for all members of the family. All KI sites will distribute fact sheets that include dosage and any other applicable information.

If you have any questions regarding KI tablets and distribution, please call 732-341-9700, ext.

7503. You can also visit the Health Department website at ochd.org, follow the Health Department on Twitter @OCpublichealth or like the Health Department on Facebook.

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

11 Essential Oils For Your Thyroid

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Many of you are taking thyroid supplements or medications already, but you might consider adding one more thing into your thyroid health regimen: Essential oils. The medical community dismisses essential oils (EOs) because after all, how powerful can it be to inhale a flower extract? Once you inhale, this “medicine” goes right into your bloodstream, through tiny capillaries directly into the bloodstream where it then shoots all over your body and activates many biochemical pathways.

It’s a fact that inhaling the aroma of lavender can cause relaxation and sleep. We also know peppermint can sometimes help improve a migraine. As for thyroid-loving essential oils, there are plenty.

When your thyroid is low…

The essential oils that I recommend when you have low thyroid, are specifically devoted to stimulating or producing the secretion of thyroid hormones, activating your metabolism or improving symptoms of the disease itself. I can touch on a few here in this limited space, but if you’re really interested, go to my website and read the longer version of this article. Try these quick essential oil health hacks for low thyroid disease: Gut problems: People with hypothyroidism are often overweight and commonly experience frequent stomachache or gas. A few gut-soothing essential oils that can bring you relief include peppermint, fennel, ginger and chamomile, you can make teas, apply to your skin or inhale depending on the EO.

Muscle aches and pain: People with Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism often hurt more than regular folks, especially after exercising. I’ll help you “create” your own soothing balm now: Pour 30 drops of lemongrass and 15 drops of marjoram into your favorite bottle of body lotion. Make sure it’s paraben-free, but pick any basic unscented lotion that you like. Then you can rub it onto your sore muscles and body aches.

Fatigue and Exhaustion: My own go-to is a smoked butterscotch latte, double shot – LOL! But we are talking about essential oils today so try dabbing one drop each of eucalyptus and rosemary to the the base of your neck (right onto your thyroid) and it will wake you up.

You should also take a quick whiff.

If your thyroid is high…

It would be unfair if I didn’t share my knowledge about hyperthyroidism, or Graves’ disease (an automimmune thyroid condition), so here’s what I suggest from an EO standpoint. Mix 15 drops of lemongrass with 15 drops of frankincense, 2 drops of myrrh (warning: myrrh smells awful), as well as 10 drops of lemongrass into a container with a tablespoon of apricot or almond oil. This can be sniffed or applied topically to your throat area a few times daily. Don’t ingest that, it’s topical. Dilute as you desire, leave out the myrrh or replace with sandalwood. This EO blend should help you deal with anxiety, stress, anger, agitation, tremors and insomnia. You don’t have to have hyperthyroidism to use this, in fact all of you dealing with stress could try it.

With 7 out of 10 people experiencing low back pain at some point in their lives and low back pain being one of the most common reasons for patient visits to primary care physicians as well as hospitalization, there is no doubt that low back pain exists in epidemic proportions today. Spinal decompression therapy can be used to treat disc bulges and herniations, disc degeneration, sciatica, spinal stenosis, arthritis, facet syndrome and chronic back pain in the low back.

Our Vax-D Spinal decompression system is FDA cleared, and has been statistically proven to relieve the pain associated with disc degeneration, herniated discs, facet syndrome and sciatica. Surgical decompression may be warranted for candidates who fail a conservative trial of Vax-D treatment.

If you have back and/or neck pain, you may be a candidate for one of our programs. At our office we will give you an honest and fair assessment of your condition and whether or not we can help you.

“Did you know that 30 million Americans suffer from back pain every day? We are the doctors of Northeast Spine and Sports Medicine, and if you suffer with lower back or leg pain, we invite you to try Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. This pain affects everything that you do, from work to play, and ultimately your quality of life.

We are here to tell you that there is hope. You can get rid of your back pain and get your life back. At Northeast Spine and Sports Medicine, we have helped thousands of back pain sufferers just like you. We only offer the most advanced surgical and non-surgical treatments. We are confident that we can help eliminate your back pain and have opened our schedule to accept the first 30 callers.

The only thing you have to lose is your pain.”

- The Doctors at Northeast Spine and Sports Medicine

Live Pain Free Sports Medicine. Numerous clinical studies are available for review at www.vax-d.com.

Northeast Spine and Sport’s Customized Back Pain Program

Why Northeast Spine and Sports Medicine?

Who can you trust for back pain solutions? Do you visit a chiropractor, medical doctor, physical therapist or acupuncturist? How much time does it take to visit all four offices? With varying recommendations, what is the best option for your specific condition? Relax! We have all options available at Northeast Spine and Sports Medicine. Your specific condition will be evaluated by several doctors before a treatment plan is customized.

Not only do we have excellent doctors, we use advanced medical equipment. This combination is what makes all the difference.

It’s not always “what we provide” that makes us different, as it is “how we provide it” that sets us apart from the rest. Our doctors and staff have the technology and experience to help you feel better. We have over 15 years of experience in helping thousands of patients find lasting relief. From the moment you walk in, you will notice the comfortable setting along with the warm greeting from our staff at the front desk. We can already assume that you don’t feel well and going to a new office for help can sometimes be uncomfortable. Our goal is to make you feel as comfortable and welcome as possible.

Vax-D Spinal Decompression Allows Back Pain to Heal…NATURALLY Many back pain conditions that we see can be helped by our state of the art Vax-D decompression table. Decompression relieves pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression achieves this by creating negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative intra-discal pressure. This creates essentially a vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc material back into the disc space and relieves pressure. This process of non-surgical decompression allows the body to heal itself naturally. Vax-D decompression tables have been successfully operating for over 15 years throughout the world and more than 3,000 patients a day receive this treatment in the U.S. alone. Vax-D is one of the FDAcleared technologies available at Northeast Spine and

By Robert Shea, Esq. and Dina Vicari, Esq. of R.C. Shea and Associates

In the past you may have made an appointment with your attorney to prepare a Last Will and Testament and Living Will, however, you may not realize the importance and convenience of a Power of Attorney. A Power of Attorney can be crucial during a time of disability. Additionally, a Power of Attorney can be useful if you are on vacation and unable to perform simple everyday decisions. A Power of Attorney can be useful for people of all ages.

A Power of Attorney enables you to identify a trusted family member or close friend as Attorney-in-Fact. The power of the Attorney-in-Fact is determined by the type of Power of Attorney that you execute.

A Durable Power of Attorney grants another person the ability to act on your behalf, regardless of illness. The scope of the Durable Power of Attorney can be very broad encompassing all financial, banking and personal decisions. For example, this Power of Attorney allows the Attorney-in-Fact to pay bills, borrow money, complete tax, medical and other forms for you. In addition, you may name an Alternate Attorney-in-Fact, if your first choice is unable or unavailable to act on your behalf.

In contrast, a Limited Power of Attorney is very narrow in scope. This would limit the Attorney-in-Fact’s authority to act on your behalf only if you become disabled.

While this document is executed prior to the onset of a disability, it can only be used if and when, but not before you become disabled. In order for the Limited Power of Attorney to become effective, you may need a physician’s written report to confirm you

are disabled and unable to manage your personal and financial affairs.

You may need a Power of Attorney if you are out-of-state or country on vacation, and require someone to act on your behalf.

For instance, you may appoint a family member, close friend or your attorney as Attorney-in-Fact to complete a real estate closing. In this case the Power of Attorney would specifically outline the purpose, time period and extent of the Attorney-in-Fact’s authority. This power would be only for the purpose of closing or selling and expire after the closing is complete. In addition, the specific property would be identified in the Power of Attorney, therefore, limiting the closing power to only the specific property.

Whether you are traveling away from home, planning for the future or have a loved one with disabilities, a Power of Attorney can be the best way to ensure the appropriate decisions and duties are carried out for you or your loved ones.

Masks:

Continued From Page 1 according to the site—and oxygen air tubes. The kits cost $90 each.

Station 55 Chief Tim Carson demonstrated how the mask fits over the Salzes’ dog’s face. Baxter, a French poodle rescue dog, patiently allowed Joe to hold him and Carson to place the mask over his face.

“We love animals. I grew up with cats,” Joe Salz said. He and his wife have an-

other French poodle rescue dog, Charles T. Bear. (The “T” stands for “trouble,” Myra said.)

“We were at the WAG meeting where they were discussing the resuscitation, and we thought, ‘It could be our dog, and what if they didn’t have it,’” Myra Salz said.

One dog during the Christmas season was saved by a pet oxygen mask.

“They had it in a crate so nobody would see the dog. It was a Christmas surprise

when the fi re broke out, the dog was in the crate. The fi refighters pulled him out,” Carson said of a fi re that broke out at Christmas on Hyson Road. “They brought him right to fi rst aid, fi rst aid immediately put the mask on him, and put him in the back of the chief’s truck, and they took off to North Star Animal Vets, and they actually saved the dog’s life. The dog made it home before Christmas.”

WAG president Susan Addelston said she would like to see each fi re station

and fi rst aid squad equipped with the pet oxygen masks.

“We know that the Jackson First Aid Squad doesn’t have one yet, much to our surprise, so they will be next. We already have a commitment from one of our members to purchase another one! As soon as he saw our story posted within the community, he called and said he’d do so,” Addelston told The Jackson Times. “Our goal is to make sure that all of Jackson’s fi re/fi rst responder groups have them.”

National Honor Society And Kindergarten Classes Combine For Successful “Cat-A-Teria”

NEW EGYPT – Whether it states, “To be, or not to be,” or “One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish,” great works of literature should be appreciated at all levels. That was the theory behind the New Egypt High School National Honor Society students’ visit to the New Egypt Primary School to read selections from Dr. Seuss on March 2’s “Read Across America Day.” As the kindergarteners entered the library, which was appropriately renamed the “Cat-a-teria” for the day, they were greeted by Seuss “menus,” Cat in the Hat bookmarks, and pencils and erasers representing the works of the featured author of the day. The kindergarteners intently listened as the NHS members enthusiastically group read.

Senior Andre Pugliese stated, “We love coming over to the Primary School.

Their enthusiasm is contagious. We had a great time reading to them. It was amazing to see how focused they were on the stories.”

NHS moderator, Sam Palumbo, reiterated, “Yes, I completely agree with Andre. From the moment the kindergarteners walked in, their eyes lit up and they couldn’t wait to hear the stories. I especially enjoyed the various questions they would ask the NHS students about the stories. I was impressed with how inquisitive they were at such a young age.”

NEHS Principal, Michael Mendes, enthusiastically encourages the collaboration between the two schools. “Considering we’d like to always represent a positive image for the younger students in district, I think it is extremely important for us to collaborate any time we can. The more our schools are actively connected, the better chance we all have of exuding the ‘Warrior Spirit’ our district promotes.

NEPS Principal, Richard Demarco, loves to witness the active engagement of his students.

“Here at NEPS, we try to constantly engage our students in a variety of activities that makes learning fun on a daily basis.

The “Cat-a-teria” is one of our favorite annual undertakings. Having the NHS students there to read makes it very special for the kindergarteners. They look up to these kids as role models, and they never fail to enjoy the day.”

This t he second collaboration the National Honor Society had with the Primary School this year. In October, the NHS created an interactive “Halloween Trail” for the Primary School students.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Riding Along In My Automobile

Dear Joel My father is 80 and in reasonably good health. He is still driving. He doesn’t go very long distances, and usually just to places he knows well, but I am starting to worry that he may be getting too old. I don’t want to make him mad, but I think it may better for him to leave the car in park. What do you think?

Answer: I’m glad you brought this up. Driving is a very touchy topic and a very important activity. Forfeiting it can make a person feel really old and out of control.

Why would you think your father shouldn’t drive? If he is in good health and not on any medication, he would probably prefer to remain independent. Many people drive into their nineties.

If you want to see your father drive less, maybe you can spend more time showing him new ways to get around. Today’s technology offers so much, and don’t just talk

to him, show him by doing some of them in his home.

Many grocery stores offer at home service; place an order with him and be there when the deliveries arrive. It’s a convenience I enjoy myself.

If he doesn’t use a computer, bring yours and put the order together as a team.

Other companies like Amazon are pros at deliveries.

If he enjoys activities outside the home, like golf or dancing, maybe you could go with him once a month or so.

Most seniors cherish their ability to drive and they protect it ferociously. Make his decision a transition and you’ll both be happier.

Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Business Profile

By Robert D. Verderese Those who want an alternative to the talk show format need not look any further. Tune in to “Preferred Company” with Joel Markel, president and owner of “Preferred Home Health Care” and his co-host, M ar ianne Lev y, airing 8 to 10 a.m., Monday through Friday, on WOBM-AM (1160 and 1310). Chock-full of fun and friendly talk, along with game shows, trivia contests, nostalgia and celebrity inter views, “Preferred Company” is the perfect blend of good conversation and entertainment that is sure to please.

While there are many dimensions to “ Pre ferred Company,” the one that listeners are immediately struck by is the wonderful chemistry between Joel and Marianne: “It’s like we can read each other’s minds,” Marianne says.

Moreover, when you li ste n to “ Pr efe r r e d C o m p a ny,” you cannot miss the spec i a l c o nn e c tion that Joel and Marianne have: “ There really is a comfort and lightness between us that allows us to bring out the best in one another,” Joel adds.

So what is it besides “good chemistry” between Joel and Marianne that makes “Preferred Company” stand out from the crowd?

Well, for starters, the show’s format is almost entirely unscripted: “ We don’t know what we’re going to talk about five minutes before the show goes on the air,” Marianne

admits. For some in the radio business, the idea to do a show with no script would be a frightening prospect, but at “Preferred Company,” it is the only way to do a radio show.

For instance, Joel desc r ibes the unique ness of the show in the following way: “What makes our show special is how natural the format is—it’s like we’re having coffee with you at a restaurant where any subject can be discussed at any time.”

To be sure, “Preferred Company” distinguishes itself from many radio shows in that it is consistently interactive by way of phone calls and emails. Unlike many other talk shows that rarely, if ever, take phone calls or respond to emails, “Preferred Company” considers interacting with their audience as an essential part of the program.

Listeners can also connect with “Preferred Company ” by downloading an app called “ R a di o p u p” to t h e i r smartphones. People f rom all around the world listen to Joel and Marianne via this app: “We love “Radiopup” and how it allows us to connect with people from all types of backgrounds. It really gives our show another level of c onnectivit y — it ’s wonderful!” says Marianne.

Speaking of wonderful, let’s not forget about Joel’s lovable puppy Oliver and Marianne’s “favorite,” Norman: “I love dogs and love to share dog stories with our listeners,” says Marianne.

Discussing everything from the smar test

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of MArch 18 - march 24

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your social instincts and intuitions might be at a low point in the first part of the week. Avoid making major purchases that require good taste. Put romantic notions on hold for a few days and focus on moneymaking activities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make the most of your business acumen by working toward the achievement of long term goals in the upcoming week. Don’t pursue an impossible dream or a fantasy when a sure thing is sitting right under your nose.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Live up to the challenge. Responsibilities at work or in the family can put you through your paces in the week ahead, but the rewards will be well worth it. Don’t let minor criticisms undermine your confidence.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may be inspired to expand creative efforts or make more peaceful choices in the week ahead. Your friends may influence your ideas and persuade you to choose lasting values over immediate gratification.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You have a flair for friendliness. Express brotherly love in all the right places to successfully blend business with pleasure in the week to come. Avoid impulsive buying sprees and you can turn talents and skills into cash.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There is a Full Moon in the skies in your sign that can trigger self-examination in the week ahead. Avoid making purchases of personal items in the first half of the week when you are somewhat susceptible to flattery.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get ready to wear your lucky shamrock. Some friendships must shift so that you can regroup within a more comfortable structure. Forming a new friendship may be more practicable than pursuing a romantic hookup this week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Decoding the wants and needs of a significant other might seem difficult in the early part of the week to come. You might read too much meaning into something that would seem commonplace in other circumstances.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the week ahead you could brim with creative ideas to improve your surroundings. If you focus fully on your tasks you will find ample opportunities to use ingenuity on the job. Avoid a passing temptation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be so busy looking for a four leafed clover that you ignore something important going on in the home. You may realize that you have only seen what you wanted to see as this week unfolds.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today’s Full Moon might rivet your attention on financial matters. In the week ahead you might benefit from meditation or time spent on your own.

You might not be aware that someone is being supportive.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Negative thinking can lead to negative results. Today’s Full Moon is in your opposite sign so you may become more aware of the flaws in a relationship or a partner. Focus on being a friend in the week ahead.

Transition From Winter To Spring With An Easy Recipe Featuring Fava Beans

By Wolfgang Puck

For so many of us, winter has been far too long and cold this year. Snow across the Northeast and Midwest. Heavy rains on the Pacific Coast.

Tornadoes across the South. It can be hard to believe that springtime is less than two weeks away.

Farmers’ markets are on the verge of the new season, and soon we’ll be savoring all kinds of fresh green vegetables that announce its arrival. But it still feels a little bit early, too early, be cooking the kinds of lighter, more delicate dishes that so many people associate with the season of renewal.

Fortunately, Mother Nature provides us with a perfect transition between winter and spring: fresh fava beans. Very soon, piles of those big, plump, slightly flat grayish-green pods will begin appearing in market stalls, inviting us to enjoy a vegetable that combines a robust, earthy texture and taste that pushes the cold days behind us with a bright color and freshness that hint at the warmer, sunnier days to come.

Many home cooks, however, find fava beans challenging to prepare, put off by those big, tough pods and the false impression that the seeds inside them are tough and chewy. So, let me share the simple truth: They’re surprisingly easy to prepare.

To shell fava beans, press down with your thumbs along the seam of each pod to split it open; then, flick out the beans. I like to blanch the peeled beans briefly in boiling water, followed by a quick cooling in ice water, to help preserve their bright color before adding them to a recipe. It also makes them easier to peel by using a thumbnail to split the opaque skin on each bean, peeling off and discarding it.

Once all that’s done, the fava beans need very little more in the way of cooking. You could toss them in a saute pan with melted butter and chopped herbs or add them to a stew or soup. Or, as I do in the following recipe, combine them with other fresh vegetables and pasta to make a main dish that combines the heartiness of winter fare with the brightness of the new season.

Of course, if you like you can substitute another vegetable for the fava beans in this recipe. Use 1/2 pound (250 g) of small snow peas, for example, or 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces of asparagus, or coarsely chopped broccoli, blanching them all as you would the fava beans and adding them toward the end of cooking the sauce.

I hope you’ll go on enjoying this recipe long into the spring and continue to adapt it as new crops arrive in the farmers’ market.

PASTA WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS, FAVA BEANS, ONION-AND-GARLIC SOUBISE AND FRESH THYME Serves 4 1 2/3 pounds (725 g) fresh fava beans in the pod, to get about 1/2 pound (250 g) shelled and peeled fava beans 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) organic low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons minced shallot 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1/2 pound (250 g) assorted fresh shiitake mushrooms, or cultivated white or cremini mushrooms, wiped clean with a damp paper towel, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces 1/4 cup (60 mL) onion-and-garlic soubise (recipe

follows) Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves, plus 4 sprigs fresh thyme for garnish 12 ounces (375 g) whole-wheat spaghetti or other whole-grain pasta strands 2 heaping tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional) Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a mixing bowl with ice cubes and water and set it near the stove.

Meanwhile, shell the fava beans, discarding the pods. When the water boils, add the shelled beans. Boil for 1 minute. With a wire skimmer, remove from the boiling water and transfer immediately to the ice water to cool. When cooled, peel them, using a thumbnail to split their skins and removing and discarding the skins. Set the peeled beans aside.

In a saucepan, bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat, and then reduce the heat to very low and keep warm.

In a large nonstick skillet or saute pan, heat the olive oil over high heat. Add the shallot, garlic and mushrooms, and saute, stirring continuously, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add the hot broth and stir and scrape with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan. Stir in the onion-and-garlic soubise and continue to cook for 2 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Stir in the chopped thyme. Continue cooking until the liquid has reduced by half, about 10 minutes.

Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook until al dente - tender but still slightly chewy - following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time. A few minutes before the pasta is done, add the fava beans to the sauce to heat them through briefly.

Drain the pasta and add it, still slightly dripping, to the sauce, tossing to mix well. Stir in the parsley and remove the pan from the heat.

To serve, divide the pasta among four large heated plates or bowls, spooning the mushrooms, fava beans and sauce equally over the pasta. Garnish with thyme sprigs and serve immediately, passing Parmesan at the table, if desired.

ONION-AND-GARLIC SOUBISE Makes about 3/4 cup (185 mL) 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons organic low-sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth In a medium nonstick skillet or saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and the garlic. Sprinkle in the sugar, salt and pepper to taste.

Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture has turned a deep caramel brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Transfer to a blender or food processor and add the broth. Pulse until pureed. Transfer to a nonreactive container and refrigerate until ready to use.
