Cops: 7 Lakewood Couples Defraud Nearly $2 Million From Welfare Programs By Sara Grillo LAKEWOOD – In an ongoing investigation, six Lakewood individuals - three married couples were arrested after it was discovered they allegedly defrauded nearly $700,000 from Medicaid and government assistant programs by misrepresenting their incomes and receiving benefits that they and their families were not entitled to. As of press time, seven couples have been arrested in the investigation for collecting roughly $2 million in fraudulent benefits. The charges began with the arrest of two other married couples from Lakewood, who were arrested a day earlier for the same crime. All couples faced a detention hearing on June 28 in Ocean County Superior Court. According to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, they have since (Welfare - See Page 4)

Opioid Epidemic Faces A New High By Sara Grillo OCEAN COUNTY – As summer takes hold in Ocean County and hot weather is finally on the rise, something else is also on the rise this time of year – drug use. The opioid epidemic is nothing new, but there are a few things that have changed, in both good and bad ways, over the past few years. There are also some things that have stayed the same. According to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, so far there have been 74 drug overdose deaths

in the county this year, pending a few toxicology reports, which is the exact number we were at the same time last year. “I track it using the last two years and we’re sort of on the same pace as last year, and last year we had 209 overdose deaths,” said Prosecutor Joseph Coronato. He said drug use and overdoses tend to pick up during the summer, and then really start to spiral out of control starting in November,

Coronato said in a press release, “Financial assistance programs are designed to alleviate family hardships for those truly in need. My office gave clear guidance and notice to the Lakewood community in 2015 of what is considered financial abuse of these programs.

approximately $96,000 in taxpayer-funded medical assistance. The Nussbaum family applied for and received government health benefits during the same time period as the Sorotzkins – 2011 to 2014 – creating various companies that were said to be run by relatives, but were actually managed by the Nussbaums themselves so they could use funds from company bank accounts to cover personal expenses, according to police. The income from these various businesses – which was as high as $1.8 million in 2013 – was underreported in applications for Medicaid, Section 8 housing and SNAP food benefits, and the family received taxpayer-funded health, housing and food benefits amounting to $178,000. The two couples appeared before a judge in federal court in Trenton on June 27. Their conspiracy charges each carry a maximum potential penalty of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, or two times the gross gain or loss from the offense. “This operation highlights the success of federal, state and county cooperation in New Jersey’s effort to combat Medicaid and other government benefits fraud,” State Comptroller Degnan said in a press release. “My office will continue to ensure that only individuals and families truly in need of benefits receive them, and that those who choose to steal from New Jersey taxpayers are referred for prosecution.” Additional arrests and charges may result as the case moves through the legal process. If anyone has information about these incidents, they should contact Sergeant Mark Malinowski of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027.

• Mordechai and Jocheved Breskin of Blue Jay Way were arrested and charged with 2nd Degree Theft by Deception for wrongfully collecting approximately $585,662 in Medicaid, SNAP, HUD and SSI benefits between January 2009 and December 2014. • Zalmen and Tzipporah Sorotzkin of Olive Court were arrested and charged with collecting approximately $338,642 in Medicaid, SNAP, HUD and SSI benefits between January 2009 and April 2014. It is alleged that the charged individuals misrepresented their incomes by claiming amounts that were low enough to benefit from the government programs, when their actual incomes were too high for them to quality. They also failed to disclose on the applications additional income they were receiving from other sources. While the five couples are being charged by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at the state level, four additional individuals were arrested by the FBI as part of an in depth review of government financial assistance programs: Rachel and Mordechai Sorotzkin, and Yocheved and Shimon Nussbaum of Lakewood, were each charged in separate complaints with one count of conspiring to steal government funds. Over the course of three years, the Sorotzkins allegedly applied for and received Medicaid benefits for themselves and their children, while receiving a lump sum of $1 million from Rachel’s business in 2013, and also earning over $1 million in both 2012 and 2013, which they did not report to Medicaid officials. They continued to use Medicaid cards and ultimately defrauded the system of

Opioid:

Continued From Page 1 as the holidays approach. A New High One of the problems, and the bad news, is fentanyl. He said in 2014, the packets of heroin they came across had about 10 percent fentanyl. In 2015, that number rose to 30 percent, and in 2016, it shot up to 65 percent. “In 2017, some of the packets are totally fentanyl and not even heroin anymore,” said Coronato. “That is what I call the synthetic storm. That’s what’s really killing all these people. And that’s one reason why we’ve not been able to ‘curb the tides’ so to speak.” But it’s certainly not without trying. New Jersey law enforcement officers were the first in the state to use the opioid reversal spray Narcan back in 2014, after Coronato and the Prosecutor’s Office saw that heroin deaths at the end of 2013 were doubling what they were the year before. In the first year that police officers used Narcan, the death rate dropped from 112 to 101. So far this year, Narcan has been sprayed 164 times to revive someone from an overdose. OORP to HARP to HART Coronato said that once officers started using Narcan, they realized they would often be spraying the same person two or three times. To combat that, OORP was born. The Opioid Overdose Recovery Program allowed a recovery coach to come out to the hospital

The Manchester Times, July 8, 2017, Page 5 when someone was taken to the emergency room after a Narcan overdose revival. That person could then be clinically analyzed and talked to about detox, but most importantly, have an opportunity to go into a treatment program, and ultimately save their lives. Around 50 to 60 percent of people were seizing that opportunity and getting help. “But then it became apparent to me that the only way that we’re putting people into the program is that we almost had to overdose them and almost die,” said Coronato. Hence, Blue HART was born. The good news is that Blue HART – Heroin, Addiction, Recovery & Treatment, formerly known as HARP, is doing well. The program, which is now offered via the Brick, Manchester, Stafford and Lacey Police, allows drug users to turn themselves in at police headquarters and get addiction treatment without the fear of prosecution. So far, 165 people have been helped. Coronato said the program is really about making a difference in people’s lives and treating them like human beings. He receives letters from grateful family members about how thankful they are for the program now that their loved ones are in rehab and doing well. Recovery coaches are attached to participants in the program, which will ideally lead to more success stories and give the Prosecutor’s Office an idea of what’s successful and what’s not. “We want to find out what they’re doing, where they are, what their status is – because what we’re interested in is in outcomes. We’re not looking to prosecute anybody, what we’re looking to do is make

a difference in that person’s life.” Expanding the program is on the horizon, but not without its challenges. Coronato said the program relies on detox beds and scholarships to stay afloat. Some people have medical insurance that pays for their treatment, but mostly it’s funded through scholarships from treatment centers that allow them to place individuals in a facility at no charge. “I can’t have somebody coming into a police station and us not finding a bed, saying we’ll come back in two, three days – it doesn’t work that way.” Adding to the substance abuse issues, he said often the individuals coming in for treatment may also have mental health, social, family or legal issues as well, which need to be assessed right away. So while other police departments in Ocean County are ready to hop on board, it’s not as simple as opening the floodgates. “The biggest problem is getting detox beds and then being able to get treatment,” he said. Lacey Joins Forces Lacey Police is the latest department to join the Blue HART program. Chief Mi-

chael DiBella said he unofficially released the news the week of June 18 and had two people come in for help. “I’ve been really interested since the prosecutor put this together,” said Chief DiBella, adding that decreasing the heroin epidemic in Ocean County is something he’s been passionate about since he became police chief last year. He has seen officers throughout his police career struggle to interact with families who are dealing with a loved one using drugs because of so many unanswered questions. The same question would always come up: where do we go for treatment? There were issues with waiting lists for treatment centers or some facilities not taking insurance, or people who had tried to get their loved ones help but failed. He knew they needed to do something. Chief DiBella said that while Lacey doesn’t have more of a drug problem than any other town, it’s about providing availability for treatment, and he hopes that this time next year, other counties and towns in New Jersey will have hopped on board and perhaps set the tone for the whole country. “It’s just one more thing that I can do, that my police department can do, to decrease this heroin epidemic,” he said.

Taser:

Continued From Page 1 Betty Bulbach recently read about the Manchester Police deploying a Conducted Energy Device, commonly known as a Taser, to defuse a difficult situation with a resident. She was so impressed that she asked her son-in-law Richard Orne to help her purchase a new Taser for the police to use. Although the purchase of the actual device is restricted to law enforcement agencies, Bulbach was able to donate the fi nancial equivalent of the Taser, which Orne presented to Patrol Bureau Commander Lieutenant James Kosma on her behalf. Manchester Township Council had already approved the purchase of 20 Taser X2 Conducted Energy Devices earlier this year, after police proved to councilmembers that

they would be beneficial to the department. Just days after the Tasers were allowed on duty in March, officers deployed one to subdue a suicidal resident who was armed with a knife and slashing her arms and neck. Bulbach’s donation will allow for the purchase of an additional Taser that will be put on duty immediately. The Manchester Township Police Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides funding for youth and community outreach programs, police charities, investment in advanced education and training and funding for special equipment and technology in order to help police officers better perform their duties.

Senate Passes “Peggy’s Law” Bill To Protect Seniors In Assisted Living Capitol Comments Senator Jim Holzapfel 10th Legislative District, Serving Toms River

NEW JERSEY – Legislation sponsored by Senator Jim Holzapfel (R-Ocean) and Senator Diane Allen

(R-Burlington) to protect senior citizens in assisted living facilities was passed by the New Jersey Senate.

“When families put their loved ones in the care of a nursing home or other assisted living facility, they expect that they’ll be treated properly and with respect,” Senator Holzapfel said. “If an employee of one of these homes even has the slightest suspicion that something might be awry, it should be their duty to report it.” The legislation, S-1219,

known as “Peggy’s Law,” requires any caretaker, social worker, physician, nurse or other staff member of a care facility who has reasonable cause to suspect that an elderly person is being abused or exploited, they must report it to local law enforcement. It also requires them to report such incidents to the Ombudsman of the Institutional-

ized Elderly within certain periods of time depending on the kind of abuse. The law is named after Peggy Marzola, a 93-yearold Brick woman who was taken to the hospital after her nursing home said she slipped on some powder. Marzola’s daughter didn’t believe this explanation and later started a campaign to stiffen state laws

against elder abuse. “Employees have to be the fi rst line of defense against abuse,” Senator Allen said. “They see their residents every day, and they will know when something isn’t right. The families of these seniors have always counted on the employees to do the right thing. Now the State of New Jersey demands it.”

Freeholders Honor Lakewood’s Mate Melton, Killed At Pearl Harbor

Freeholder Forum by Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders will hold a moment of silence at its next public meeting in honor of Machinist’s Mate 1st Class Earl R. Melton of Lakewood, who was killed during the attack on Pearl Harbor 76 years ago.

Melton’s remains were finally identified through DNA testing and he was accorded a burial with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery on June 28. The remains were identified by the Defense POW/ MIA Accounting Agency, a federal agency charged with

identifying killed and missing American servicemen and servicewomen from all wars. “Thanks to their hard work the family of this brave sailor finally has closure,” said Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “After all of these years a hero has finally come home.” Melton served aboard the USS Oklahoma, one of eight battleships moored in the harbor on Sunday morning, December 7, 1941. Hit by numerous torpedoes, the Oklahoma capsized, trapping much of her

crew underwater. The Oklahoma listed 429 men killed, second only to the USS Arizona, which claimed the lives of 1,177 sailors and officers. For days after the attack, rescue workers could hear men banging frantically inside the upside-down hull. Because of the difficulty of the salvage effort, the ship was not removed from the muck and righted until 1943. Vicari said the Freeholders will honor Melton with a moment of silence at their July 5 meeting. “Ocean County never forgets its veterans,” Vicari said.

The county is home to more veterans than any other county in the state. More than 68,000 veterans live in the county’s 33 towns. Local cemeteries also hold the remains of soldiers who fought as far back as the Revolutionary War. “Machinist’s Mate Melton is another example of the brave men and women of Ocean County who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom,” said Deputy Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, who is also liaison to the Ocean County Veteran’s Service Bureau. Melton’s remains were originally interred at a cem-

etery in Hawaii, according to a press release issued by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, In 2015 the Department of Defense ordered the disinterment of unknown sailors from the USS Oklahoma in an effort to identify their remains. DNA analysis matched Melton with samples given by a niece and four nephews. Dental records and circumstantial evidence helped confirm the findings. More than 400,000 Americans died in the Second World War. More than 73,000 men and women from are still unaccounted for from that war.

Manchester Police Arrest Two In Hillside Drive Theft

MANCHESTER – With the help of Manchester Police K-9 Officer Steven Wendruff and his partner Lynk, a recent burglary on Hillside Drive led to the arrest of both a Manchester resident and Jersey City man in mid-June. At around one in the morning, a resident who came home to find his home robbed also heard a loud noise coming from the back of his house. After calling the police and initiating an investigation, the suspect, 31-year-old Christopher Wohltman of Manchester, was located at another home on Hillside Drive. After being questioned by police, a second suspect, 29-year-old John Grogan of Jersey City was identified and tracked down at a

home on 15th Street in Bayonne, where he was found with items that were stolen from the residence on Hillside Drive. Grogan was charged with burglary and theft and taken to Manchester Police Headquarters, processed, and then held in the Ocean County Jail. Wohltman was charged with burglary and possession of a controlled dangerous substance, but was later released on a summons. Also assisting in the investigation were detectives from the Bayonne Police Department and members of the Manchester Township Police Investigations Bureau. Anyone with information regarding the incident should contact Detective Adam Emmons at 732-6572009, ext. 4203.

Overturned Vehicle On Route 37 Sends One To Hospital

By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – A June 28 crash on Route 37 and Buckingham Drive caused a vehicle to overturn and sent the driver to the hospital with multiple injuries. The accident happened around 2:37 p.m. when a Nissan Sentra traveling eastbound on Route 37 drove through a red light and crashed into a Buick driving northbound on Buckingham Drive. The collision sent Nissan, driven by 74-year-old Susan Vogel of Manchester, into a tailspin and caused her vehicle to overturn. Manchester police officers found the Nissan in the shoulder of the roadway when they responded and Vogel had to be removed from

her vehicle by members of the Manchester and Ridgeway Volunteer Fire Companies. She sustained injuries to her right leg and both of her arms and was taken by ambulance to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune. The driver of the Buick, 83-year-old Sondra Oliver of Boyton Beach, FL was uninjured in the crash and did not seek medical treatment. Both drivers were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the collision and the Nissan made multiple airbag deployments. Assisting at the scene were EMTs from Quality Medical Transport and paramedics from MONOC. Corporal Douglas Higgins of the Manchester Township Police Traffic Safety Unit is investigating the crash.

MTEF Thanks Community For Their Support

MANCHESTER – The Manchester Township Educational Foundation (MTEF) and The Hesse Companies hosted the 9th Annual Golf Outing Awards Dinner on June 5 at Eagle Ridge Golf Course. Although the golf portion of the fundraiser was cancelled due to thunderstorms, the dinner and awards banquet went on as scheduled. Prize baskets were awarded and MTEF thanks all of the businesses, organizations, individuals and volunteers who helped to make the day a success. With their help, over $20,000 was raised for our local schools. Proceeds from the annual golf outing have supported donation of technology equipment to Manchester schools, including iPads, Kindles, computers, projectors and MOBI computer tablets. Classroom and school grants have also included musical instruments, art supplies, math and science materials and more. MTEF has distributed over $124,000 in school and classroom grants. MTEF partners with local businesses, organizations and individuals to provide scholarships to Manchester graduates and has awarded over $127,000 to date. This year’s $15,000 School Grant was presented to Principal Nancy Driber and Vice Principal Steve Ninivaggi on behalf of the Manchester Township Middle School. The middle school’s project is to create a ‘Genius Lab’ at the school. In a surprise twist, MTEF President Jeff DeSimone announced that a second $15,000 School Grant award was being presented this year to the Ridgeway Elementary School for a STEAM Lab (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math). Accepting that award was Principal Nikki Mazur, Jamie Valezquez and several members of Ridgeway School’s teaching staff.

Manchester Officer Recognized For DWI Enforcement

MANCHESTER –Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) – New Jersey and the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety recently recognized police officers throughout New Jersey for their extraordinary efforts in preventing car crashes through DWI enforcement.

Several county farmers, residents and agricultural county agents got together to display their crops and share information. This “Agriculture Day” was the start of the Ocean County Fair. Over the years the farmers and folks from all over the county continued to gather and meet with 4H kids and leaders, Cooperative Extension professionals and staff along with county leaders. Livestock, animals, rides, attractions, food vendors, fair princess competitions, fashion shows, grand champions/reserve champions and best in show all became the fabric of our County Fair. Ocean County Park located off Ocean Avenue in Lakewood hosted the event for over 40 years until the fair out grew the physical space. In the early 1980’s Robert J Miller Airpark, in Berkeley Township, became our new home giving us room to handle the ever growing fair.

Receiver-In-The-Canal (RIC) Hearing Instruments: Nine Reasons Slim Is In

Over the past five years, most major hearing aid manufacturers have created an entirely new class of svelte hearing aids called “receiver-in-the-canal” (RIC) products. These instruments are virtually unnoticeable when worn. They are unique because of a very smart engineering design with remarkable results: The separation of the receiver from the rest of the hearing aid. The ultra-slim computer processor is worn hidden in the hairline just behind the ear. The receiver rests in the ear canal secured by a vented, silicone tip. A hair-thin transmission wire (not a tube) connects the two. The popularity of RIC instruments have spread quickly by word of mouth among baby boomers who are in turn telling their friends. In general, there are nine reasons why slim is in: more efficient, size and technology, comfort, natural sound, reduced feedback, repair ability, re-program ability, cosmetics and fit–and–go. RIC products are more efficient because their receiver is already near your ear drum and because of this, less power is needed. In terms of size and technology, RIC products allow for better sound pro-

cessing utilizing adaptive directional microphones, noise reduction and feedback cancellation. Some models even offer FM or Bluetooth compatibility for listening to TV wirelessly and remote control so that the wearer can discreetly adjust the volume or switch the listening program. In terms of comfort, the fit and feel of a RIC product allows most patients to forget that they are even wearing them. These instruments are designed not to plug up your ear and to provide a more natural sound quality with speech and your own voice. Because there is a separation between the microphone and the receiver, feedback is virtually eliminated. Should the receiver need repair, this modular component can be quickly replaced by your audiologist, usually while you wait. That means less time without wearing your hearing instrument. RIC instruments are flexible and adapt to changes in hearing loss, thus, they can be reprogrammed. Cosmetically, RICs are slim, light and beautiful. RIC instruments can usually be selected, fit, programmed and worn home the same day (fit and go) for instant hearing improvement.

7 Genius Home Remedies For Bug Bites By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. You know when you have one of those awkward moments that you think could go viral, if only someone had a camera on you? Well, recently, my friend was outside when a bug swooped from above and descended down her V-neck shirt. Faster than you can say “bugger” she was stung or bit on not one… but both of her breasts. It then dropped out the bottom of her shirt and flew away. What followed was a lawn dance the likes of which her neighbors have never seen. The chaos that ensued could’ve gone viral if someone had a phone handy. So I said to her, “Did you apply meat tenderizer? Ammonia?” She said no, but was grateful that she had taken some Benadryl at 3 a.m. that morning to help with insomnia. She suspects (and I agree) that the inflammation and pain could have been much worse. We joked about her story and dubbed it “One Bee, Two Boobs.” So what do you do if you are stung or bitten by a nasty little critter? There are a host of remedies for insect attacks and other summer “owwies” that you can find at your local pharmacy, or in your kitchen. Oatmeal. Put quick-cooking or rolled oats into a food processor or coffee grinder to make a fine powder. Mix that with a small amount of water to make a paste. Apply this paste to your sting. You can also take a bath with oatmeal for all-over itch relief. Black Tea. Put a cold tea bag on the bite site for 5

minutes. The naturally-occurring “tannins” in tea are what make it bitter, but these tannins also draw the poison out and ease discomfort. English Breakfast Tea is high in tannins. Vinegar. Use white or apple cider vinegar. Mix it 50/50 with water and use a cotton ball to dab the mixture to your sore for instant itch relief. Meat Tenderizer. This contains papain which breaks up poisons from insect venom. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon into a little cup and add some water, perhaps a teaspoon or two just to make a paste and dab directly onto the bite. The sooner after you get stung, the better! Ammonia. Insect venom is usually acidic and ammonia is alkaline so this neutralizes the poison, and is best applied as soon as possible to the bee or wasp sting. Some people recommend to dab it on straight, others suggest to dilute 50/50 with water. Ice Cubes. It’s super effective at reducing inflammation and numbing the area. Just wrap a cube in a paper towel and apply for 5 or 10 minutes. Ice feels nice on bites! Toothpaste. The menthol in toothpaste makes for a nice cooling sensation while reducing swelling. Just apply a thin layer and let it dry. If you’d like to read a longer version of this article with more natural and inexpensive home remedies, sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll email it to you.

Geriatric Institute To Present Program At Bartley Healthcare

JACKSON – Bartley Healthcare is partnering with Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus (MMCSC) Geriatrics Institute to host an educational seminar on July 21 at 3 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room at Bartley’s campus, 175 Bartley Road. The presenters will be Claire Verruni, RN and Melanie Vernacchia, APN from Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus. Claire and Melanie will be discussing the benefits of the newly estab-

lished Geriatrics Institute at MMCSC. They plan to discuss their capabilities and services, and how it can benefit Bartley and the rest of the community. The MMCSC Geriatrics Institute, which opened its doors in mid-November, provides integrated inpatient and outpatient geriatric services for patients 65 and older. The third floor of Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus houses the inpatient, outpatient, and

community education aspects of geriatric medicine, all in one location. Physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists and audiologists will also be located on this floor to accommodate the needs of patients as they transition from inpatient to outpatient care. Further complementing the Geriatrics Institute are the Geriatric Emergency Medicine (GEM) Unit, created to meet the more complex needs of seniors in emergency care, and the Acute

Care for Elders (ACE) Unit, an inpatient unit utilizing an interdisciplinary approach to collaboratively develop a patient-centered care plan. Anyone interested in attending this seminar should contact Lindsay Constantino, Marketing Coordinator at Bartley Healthcare, at 732-370-4700, ext. 1368 or lconstantino@ bartleyhealthcare.com by July 17. For over 31 years, Bartley Healthcare is a nationally recognized for its geriatric care, providing quality individual focused memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation and assisted living services for residents on its 25-acre campus in Jackson. Bartley Healthcare is Joint Commission accredited, with special certification for their Memory Care and PostAcute Programs.

A significant percentage of the motor vehicles that travel though our communities are either uninsured or underinsured. To protect against the harms and losses caused by uninsured or underinsured motorists, automobile insurance companies are obligated by law to provide uninsured motorist (UM) coverage to those motorists who purchase Standard policies. Although underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage is not mandatory, typically they are sold hand-inhand with UM endorsements and are found in virtually all Standard automobile insurance policies in New Jersey. As the name suggests, UM /UIM coverage is that element of an insured’s own policy of insurance under which he or his family may be compensated for injuries and losses suffered at the hands of an uninsured or underinsured motorist. This coverage also applies when you are injured as a passenger in someone else’s vehicle. UM/UIM insurance is very inexpensive yet very important. It is designed to protect you and your family. For instance, you are sitting at a red light minding your business when all of the sudden a drunk runs a red light, crashes into your vehicle and causes you to spend the next week in the hospital with multiple permanent, internal injuries. Your only source of compensation for pain,

CHIMNEYS • GUTTERS • ROOFING • MASONRY

suffering and unpaid medical bills may come from your UM/UIM insurance policy if the drunk was uninsured or underinsured. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. And although the failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment many people deliberately do not carry insurance or do not realize that their insurance policy has expired or been cancelled. Never rely upon a stranger to protect you and your family. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is your responsibility. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use, Wills, Trusts and Powers of Attorney.

MANCHESTER, NJ – During July, the Manchester Branch Library will offer two programs that are part of the library’s “Chapters of Health” series. Chapters of Health programs provide general information on health topics that are of concern to many people.

July 10, 17, 24, 31 and August 7 & 14 from 2 to 4:30 p.m. – Take Control of Your Health: Chronic Disease Self-Management.

The most important goal of the workshop is to help participants become more confident and feel less alone with their ongoing health issues. The workshop is modeled after the Stanford University program described in the book, Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions. Participants will receive a copy of this book and a relaxation CD. Refreshments will be provided at each of the six sessions. Sign up once for all six. July 21 at 2 p.m. – Calming Coloring. Coloring is one of the hottest new trends in stress relief – for adults!

Dear Joel, My friend got a new hairstyle and I think it’s awful. It’s the kind of cut you’d see on a teen pop star, complete with colored stripes. She thinks it looks great and is raving about her stylist, but I’d like to persuade her to try my stylist who could give her a look that’s more age appropriate. How do I go about getting her to try my stylist? Do you think I should try a gift card to my salon? Judy, Brick Dear Hairy, You made me chuckle. Just last night I was looking at some old magazines, remarking at how funny some of the hairdos were. And that’s just not the ladies either. I remember when all the men were getting curly perms. Your friend’s new do is a touchy topic,

because she is so enamored with her new look, but I think your idea is a good one. You and you friend might plan a day of beauty together with your stylist. Just let your stylist play with hair and ask if she’s been thinking about changing it. You’ll see if she’s willing to try a new look. I asked my wife about this one and the always wise Mrs. reminded me that hairstyles change all the time. Maybe if you give it a couple months, she might be over looking like the latest pop princess and more like the lady of the house. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Smartphones Can Be A Pain In The Neck

By: Rosemarie Daalder, DPT, All-Care Physical Therapy Center’s Forked River Location IS MY SMARTPHONE CAUSING MY NECK PAIN?

Three main things occur as we drop our head down to look at our smartphone.

Within the last few years, more and more patients are arriving at All-Care Physical Therapy with complaints of neck pain. These patients with complaints of neck pain are also becoming younger and younger. Typically, neck pain is seen with an increase in age which makes us wonder; why the change in the age of patients seen with neck pain, and why the increase in the amount seen? “Text neck” is the term given to this increase in neck pain complaints seen in patients within the last few years. This is especially seen in the younger populations who have had no prior history of neck pain or injury. So what is ‘text neck’? Text neck is a repetitive strain injury of the neck muscles, the shoulders, and even in the lower back. This is directly related to our posture when we use our smart devices, like cell phones and tablets. On average, a person may spend 2-4 hours a day using their smartphone. The most common symptoms of text neck may be complaints of neck pain and soreness. Some other presentations of text neck may include headaches, upper back pain that ranges from chronic, nagging pain to sharp spasms, shoulder pain and tightness, and even neurological symptoms that can travel down the arm and into the hand. This is called radiculopathy and originates from a cervical nerve being pinched as it tries to exit the cervical spine. All of these possible signs and symptoms of text neck can be addressed by a Physical Therapist.

HOW DOES USING MY CELL PHONE OR TABLET HURT MY NECK? Using these smart devices causes us to slouch into a poor posture which causes extra strain on our bodies. Most of the population (79%) between the ages of 18-44 years old have their smartphones on them at all times. Picture yourself looking at your smartphone, maybe it is in your hand right now. Our head drops forward as we look down towards our smartphone. Our shoulders may also lift towards our ears and round forward. This posture changes the natural curve of our cervical spine. We have to admit…some of us can get so involved in our smart devices that time passes right by. An 8-18 year old on average spend about 7.5 hours every day using some type of smart device. Staying in this position for a prolonged period of time can cause misalignment, muscle strains, and wear and tear of our joints.

1. Our neck moves forward 2. Our shoulders round forward and may lift towards our ears 3. Our neck muscles and shoulder muscles then contract Our neck muscles have the job of holding up our head throughout the day against gravity. The head is a lot of weight to hold up all day; on average weighing between 10-12lbs. When we move our head 1 inch forward, this can double the load on our muscles. Your chin resting on your chest when looking at your smart phone creates 60lbs of force on your neck. You can see an example of the pounds of pressure placed on the neck as we drop our head forward in the provided picture.

can take every day in conjunction with Physical Therapy. 1. Straighten up-maintaining an upright posture and proper neck alignment will decrease the load and the amount of work our neck and shoulder muscles have to do in order to keep our head up. Using a mirror can help you see your posture and see how it feels to be in a correct, upright posture. Imagine a vertical line tracing down from your ear to your shoulder. This is proper, upright posture. 2. Look forward when using your smart device. Raise your smartphone or tablet to eye level as the example shows in the picture provided. This will allow you to stay upright and in proper alignment. No more forward head and downward head posture. Same idea when sitting at your computer. Raise the monitor or lower your chair so that the screen is eye level.

ROSEMARY DAALDER, DPT

The ‘slump position’ that occurs as we relax and browse the newsfeed on our smartphone, not only effects our spinal position but can also have an effect on our breathing. The slump position restricts our ability to expand our lungs and take in oxygen. Decreasing our ability to take in enough oxygen forces our heart to pump harder in order to circulate our oxygen rich blood throughout our body.

HOW DO WE FIX THIS? Some of the effects of text neck or a forward head posture can be addressed with proper exercises and manual techniques that can provide a patient with long-lasting relief. At All-Care Physical Therapy, the Physical Therapists have the knowledge and experience to treat neck pain in all age populations. They will develop treatment programs based on that individual patient and help them to return to their previous pain-free lifestyles. To improve our neck pain from using our smartphones there are a few steps we

Rosemarie graduated from Delaware Valley College in 2007 Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s of Science in Animal Biotechnology and Conservation and a certification in Animal Assisted Activities and Therapy. During her undergraduate certification in Animal Assisted Activities and Therapy, she worked alongside Physical Therapists treating pediatric patients on horseback. This sparked her interest in Physical Therapy, and she therefore changed her career goal from Veterinarian to Physical Therapist. She continued into her physical therapy education at Rutgers-Camden, UMDNJ, and received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in May 2011. Rosemarie has had clinical experiences in acute, sub-acute, and outpatient settings, as well as a 14-week pediatric affiliation with HollyDell School. Her areas of interest include sports medicine, joint replacement, manual therapy techniques, evidence based practice, and the neurological and orthopedic pediatric population. Rosemarie believes in patient centered practice by incorporating her patient’s personal goals into her treatment plans.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE RONEN ROTEM, DDS

The Center For Exceptional Cosmetic & Adult Dentistry By Robert Verderese Let’s face it, for most of us, there is a certain stigma surrounding the phobia we experience when going to the dentist, whether it’s the awkward feeling of having someone poke around your mouth and inspect your teeth, or the anticipation of potentially painful procedures such as getting a cavity filled or tooth removed. At Rotem Dental Care, Dr. Ronen Rotem, along with his associate, Dr. Mihirgir Bava, are passionate about changing the stigma associated with a dental visit. The moment you walk into his office, you’ll sense something different about Dr. Rotem’s practice. For one, that proverbial dentist office smell, you know that distinct smell that many of us find repugnant, even nerve-fraying, is completely non-existent. Instead, you’re more likely to be greeted by the aroma of calming herbal teas, or the smell of hot coffee brewing from a Keurig machine, even freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies! “We offer care that is warm and welcoming, making every patient we see feel right at home from the moment they walk through the door,” Dr. Rotem says. When you arrive in Dr. Rotem’s reception area, you’ll be greeted by one of

his staff members who knows you by your name. You won’t find a closed window with a placard telling you to sign in on the clipboard in front of you. You’ll immediately notice the atmosphere is relaxing and refreshing. Once in a chair in the treatment room, you can leave your troubles behind while you sink into a Tempur-Pedic cushion and watch a movie or listen to music. “My goal is for my patients to feel as comfortable as possible in every respect,” Dr. Rotem explains. Moreover, if you desire an added dose of comfort, Dr. Rotem can help you find complete relaxation with sedation dentistry. Sedation dentistry is the term used for methods of calming or relaxing patients who experience some form of dental phobia. With some patients, even thinking about going to the dentist or sitting in the dentist chair fills them with acute anxiety. At Rotem Dental Care, Dr. Rotem understands this fear can be very real for you and therefore invests in the training and resources to help those who experience dental-induced anxiety feel calm during their visits. Various methods of conscious sedation are offered at Rotem Dental Care, including: oral medications such as Valium, intravenous sedation and nitrous oxide. If you choose nitrous oxide as a form of sedation, you can expect to be totally relaxed and calm throughout

the whole dental procedure, yet completely awake. Dr. Rotem also affords you the option of nap sedation dentistry, which is ideal for procedures that would normally require multiple visits to be condensed into one visit. He explains the beneﬁts of sedation dentistry in the following way: “Dental sedation has literally changed lives by allowing those who would not visit the dentist (even though they knew they needed to!) to get the dental care they most desperately need.” Do you hesitate when you smile? Would you like to increase your self-conﬁdence? Do you want to look your best in social or profes-

sional situations? If so, Dr. Rotem can help you achieve your smile goals through implant dentistry! A dental implant is a man-made replacement for a tooth root. They are ideal for patients who have missing or compromised teeth due to gum disease, decay, injury or for those who have missing teeth. If you are interested in implant dentistry, Dr. Rotem will address all of your questions and concerns about the exact nature of implant dentistry, its many benefits and most importantly—whether you are a potential candidate for them. Additionally, as a comprehensive practice, Rotem Dental Care offers many other services including: teeth cleaning, dental veneers, invisalign clear braces, filings, extractions and much, much more! As someone committed to providing excellent, personalized care and services to you and your family, Dr. Rotem offers a Dental Savings Plan to those who have no dental insurance. “Our Dental Savings Plan was created with one simple idea— that all people should have access to premium dental care, end of story” says Dr. Rotem. Some of the features of the plan include no yearly maximums, no deductibles and perhaps best of all—immediate eligibility!

The desire to help others spills out of Dr. Rotem’s office and into the community. Once a year, Dr. Rotem sponsors a candy buy-back contest, where local children donate some of their candy to Dr. Rotem who in turn sends the candy to troops serving overseas and pays the children for their generous offering: “I started this program with the intention to at once incentivize kids to donate their candy while at the same time giving our troops overseas a special Halloween,” Dr. Rotem explains. Practicing in Ocean County for 20 years, Dr. Rotem will be celebrating this milestone with a random sweepstakes. The sweepstakes will run monthly through the end of September and the prize is a balcony cabin for two on the Norwegian Cruise Ship “Escape” with Bermuda as its destination. Rotem Dental Care is always accepting new patients. To find out more about Dr. Rotem’s expertise and services, check out his website at RotemDentalCare. com or call the office and set up an appointment at 732-341-8500. The office is conveniently located at 355 Lakehurst Road in Toms River. Dr. Rotem and the rest of his staff at Rotem Dental Care will be more than happy to help you have that beautiful smile you always dreamed of.

You might learn about recent advances in technology that can improve your productivity. Group meetings may bring about changes that impact your situation favorably. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Remain flexible and poised in the week to come. A significant other might surprise you by suggesting something that is out of character. Be prepared to handle a sudden change of plans where your finances are concerned. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can elect to be wild or to be wonderful. In the week ahead you may be more ambitious than usual so should be aware of actions that could reflect upon your reputation. Be sure to honor your promises and commitments. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Ambition may rattle your cage. You may feel that it is time to exert your authority but it may be difficult to control the actions of others in the week to come. Focus on being sympathetic and understanding for the best success. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may have an itch to be inventive. By the end of the week you may have a chance to play the part of an entrepreneur rather than a traditionalist. Avoid gambling

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Get your ducks in a row because this week your brilliant ideas will be able to take flight. Take pride in your ability to handle both financial and personal matters with efficiency and a high degree of confidentiality. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There is plenty to go around. Your heart is in the right place but you should be somewhat cautious about wearing your heart on your sleeve. Share without being overly generous in the upcoming week.

You might make a good impression by supporting a charity.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen From SeaTo Shining Sea: Set Off Culinary Fireworks WithThis Fresh, Flavorful Seafood Recipe By Wolfgang Puck GRILLED TERIYAKI SCALLOPS (OR SHRIMP) WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE-JALAPENO SALSA Serves 4 as a main dish, 8 as an appetizer For the scallops or shrimp: 16 large sea scallops, or 16 peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp 1 tablespoon chopped mint leaves 1 teaspoon chopped cilantro leaves Extra-virgin olive oil Freshly ground black pepper Kosher salt Homemade teriyaki sauce (recipe follows), or good-quality bottled teriyaki sauce For the salsa: Extra-virgin olive oil, for coating 1 large, ripe pineapple, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) slices 2 large red onions, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) slices 3 green jalapeno chiles 3 red jalapeno chiles, or 3 additional green ones 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves 1 tablespoon chopped mint leaves 1 lime, juiced Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Preheat an outdoor grill. Meanwhile, prep and marinate the scallops or shrimp: Place them on folded paper towels to blot dry. Thread a pair of skewers parallel through 4 scallops or shrimp. Repeat with the remaining seafood. Sprinkle mint and cilantro over the seafood. Drizzle generously with oil, and season with pepper; then drizzle with a little more oil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. When the fire is hot, place the cooking grid over the fire and make the grilled pineapple-jalapeno salsa: Carefully oil the cooking grid. Place the pineapple slices on the grid and cook until golden-brown, about 4 minutes per side, turning with long-handled grill tongs. Remove to a clean cutting board.

In a bowl, gently toss the onion slices and jalapenos in just enough oil to coat lightly. Place them on the grid and cook until evenly browned and blistered, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill. Protecting your fingers with a clean folded kitchen towel or paper towels, peel off the chiles’ blistered skins; then slit the chiles open and discard the seeds, veins and stems. On a cutting board, cut the pineapple into 1/2-inch (12-mm) cubes, placing them in a large mixing bowl, and discard the tough inner cores. Cube the onion, mince the jalapenos, and add to the bowl with the remaining cilantro and mint. Add lime juice, and drizzle with olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside. Season the seafood skewers lightly with salt. Oil the cooking grid and grill the skewers over high heat for about 2 minutes per side, brushing lightly with teriyaki sauce to glaze just before they finish cooking. To serve, spoon the salsa onto individual serving plates. Using tongs, slide the scallops or shrimp off the skewers onto the salsa. Serve immediately. HOMEMADE TERIYAKI SAUCE Makes about 1 cup (250 mL) 1/2 cup (125 mL) sake 1/2 cup (125 mL) soy sauce 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar 2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons minced green onion, white part only 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger 2 cloves garlic, peeled and grated 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon cold water In a heavy, medium-sized nonreactive saucepan over medium heat, combine the sake, soy sauce, vinegar and honey. Add the green onion and bring to a boil. Add the ginger and garlic. Simmer briefly. If you want a smooth, clear sauce, pour through a fine-meshed strainer. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and water to make a smooth slurry. Reduce the heat to low and, whisking constantly, drizzle in the slurry and cook until thick and glossy, about 1 minute longer. Refrigerate in a covered container and use within a week.
