Pipeline Protests Continue
By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – Environmental groups protested the proposed natural gas pipeline that would come to town at a recent event in front of the Manchester ShopRite on Route 70. Members of groups such as the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, Food & Water Watch, ReThink Energy NJ, and People Over Pipelines came out to speak out against the Southern Reliability Link. This is a pipeline that would join up at a source in Chesterfield and head through various towns for 30 miles. It would end in Manchester. For months, protesters have been demonstrating why the pipeline is dangerous and unnec-

Township Positions See Salary Increase
By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – A recent township ordinance will increase salary ranges for several township positions, including police dispatchers, part-time employees and maintenance workers. “We’ve had a big problem with keeping dispatchers. We’ve lost four in the last half year,” said Councilman Craig Wallis at a recent council meeting. He added that there is a lot of training involved in getting dispatchers up to code, and that

Manchester offers great working conditions, but many ultimately leave to seek higher salaries, sometimes $20,000 to $30,000 more a year. “This is not bringing them up to the top of the scale around here, it’s not even really to the minimum, it’s probably just to the scale where other towns are paying, but it’s a good step,” he said. Manchester Police Chief Lisa Parker said that the last straw was receiving a call from county dispatch asking (Salary - See Page 9)

Ovarian Cancer: Who Is Really At Risk?
By Sara Grillo NEW JERSEY – Ovarian cancer will take the lives of over 14,000 women this year, and over 22,000 women will be diagnosed with the disease, according to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition. But even though that adds up to one in 75

Hope For Treatment While Dr. ElSahwi said he feels awareness for the disease has gotten better in the past couple of years, and that more people are talking about ovarian cancer, where he sees it coming from most is pharmaceutical companies. His hope is that pharma will use its power to not only push marketing for drugs, but also partner with physicians to get other messages out to the public, such as awareness about early signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer, newer and more targeted therapies and treatment options, and information about clinical trials that test for newer molecules. “Pharmaceuticals are typically the best people to advertise and they typically actually resonate better than any community service or any healthcare system can – it’s just the nature unfortunately of our medical environment right now.” “In a practical sense I think that would work in a more efficient way than either healthcare systems, doctors or the government has been successfully at,” he said. “That would be a very beneficial partnership.”

clinical trials and newer treatments don’t replace the gold standard of care, they’re merely added to it, or started after the gold standard of care has been completed.
like an ultrasound and blood test that can be done on people at high risk, those who have family histories of breast or ovarian cancer, but that the data is not very robust. “Most of the screening studies are directed towards high risk people because of how difficult it is to screen for ovarian cancer.” Treatment is two-fold, surgery and chemotherapy, but not necessarily in that order. Dr. ElSahwi said the surgery to remove a cancerous mass is usually performed fi rst, and then followed up with chemo. But if the patient is an operative risk, chemo may start before surgery, and then continue again after. In some cases of stage 4 ovarian cancer, the only options that remain are chemo and hospice. Chemotherapy can achieve initial remission in 80 percent of patients, but unfortunately, it will recur in about 75 percent. He said in March and April, the FDA approved two new drugs based on their good performance and targeting of specific mutations in the tumor. Dr. ElSahwi said that people can sometimes be skeptical of clinical trials, but that they would be well advised to take advantage of them, since they use newer molecules. They should also listen to news about new maintenance drugs, as they might offer a longer remission. These

Barack Obama in 2015. The official White House proclamation describes the disease as being difficult to detect, but that by recognizing the warning signs, women can increase their likelihood of detecting ovarian cancer in its early stages, when it’s more responsive to treatment. According to Karim ElSahwi, MD, FACOG, FACS, gynecologic oncologist with Hackensack Meridian Health, awareness is key. “75 percent of ovarian cancer is detected at a late stage, meaning stage 3 or 4. However there are signs and symptoms that are usually, at least initially, either overlooked by the patient or misinterpreted by the physician because they are very nonspecific and vague,” he said. Those symptoms include frequent urination, abdominal pain, bloating or other gastrointestinal issues. Dr. ElSahwi said that by the time a patient presents their symptoms to him, they’ve already been through the gamut of seeing a gastroenterologist and urologist. Even an annual gynecological exam and Pap smear won’t detect the disease. “The best we can do is alert the public and general practitioners of those signs
and symptoms of ovarian cancer,” he said. That being said, there’s a big difference between the general population and those at high risk for contracting the disease. High risk patients typically have a diagnosis of Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (HBOC), which means there are multiple cases of breast or ovarian cancer on the same side of the family. Dr. ElSahwi said this is also known as mutations in the person’s BRCA, which stands for breast cancer susceptibility gene. Women of Jewish and Icelandic descent are more susceptible to the disease as well. “Whenever you talk about early detection or screening for ovarian cancer you have to make that distinction – are you talking about the general public or are you talking about people with genetic mutations.” The general population has about a 1.2 to 1.5 percent risk of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer, while for women at high risk, the ratio jumps 20 to 50 percent. Dr. ElSahwi said he sees about 40 to 50 cases of ovarian cancer a year between him and his partner. The average age of diagnosis in the general population is around 60, but in the high risk population, the age of diagnosis is a decade earlier. Dr. ElSahwi said there are a couple of tests

PARCC:
Continued From Page 1 rigorous academic standards adopted by most states in 2010 and 2011, such as common core, New Jersey is only one of eight states that still participates in PARCC testing. Director of Curriculum Diane Pedroza made the presentation to board members and parents, explaining that students scoring 4s and 5s on the test are seen as “college and career ready,” those scoring 3s have approached expectations and are “almost there,” and students scoring 2s and 1s have not fully met expectations. In data charts, Manchester Schools were compared to a state average, as well as an average for participating PARCC states. When it came to English, students in grades 3-8 overall did very well. For example, 50 percent of 3rd grade students scored 4s and 5s, which was the same percentage as the state, and 10 percent higher than PARCC states. What was more interesting than just looking at the data from this year’s testing, though, was being able to see how the same students progressed year to year. Looking at the 4 and 5 scoring incoming 5th graders, Pedroza said, “In 2016 we were at 38 percent – in 2017 those same kids moved to 51 percent. I think that’s just remarkable.” Quantifying testing data from the high school was a bit trickier, said Pedroza, because of the new block scheduling this past year. “I really have to commend my department. This was not an easy task, taking the fall block and taking the spring block. (Test manufacturer) Pearson does not do this, we have to do this, and we wanted to make sure we could do this to give you an accurate picture,” she said. Again, looking back to the previous year, Pedroza was able to determine that PARCC scores in 11th grade English went up from 19 to 20 percent from the 2016 school year to the 2017 school year. “For me that’s optimistic, we’re moving
in the right direction.” Math scores painted a slightly different picture. “As a whole mathematics scores I believe have been on a decrease and there’s only one grade in particular, which I believe is third grade, that 50 percent of the students in the state of NJ met proficiency, which is 4s and 5s,” said Pedroza. School officials cited a number of reasons that could account for the slide in math scores, especially in New Jersey, such as changes to the state learning standards, questions on the assessment, and gaps left from Governor Chris Christie dropping common core. Last year the state reconfigured the New Jersey Student Learning Standards and frameworks, allowing teachers to change and restructure their curriculum this year, hopefully filling in those gaps. “The other thing that’s very helpful are the evidence statements that go along with the data that we have. They really isolate mathematical practices and reasoning, so that data becomes really important for us to use with our teachers because we can really isolate and say – where do we need to fill in the gap?” For the most part, students in grades 3-8 scored more 4s and 5s on the math test than participating PARCC states did, but came out lower than the state average. The most noticeable data was the absence of any 5s in 8th grade math, which does not include students taking Algebra 1 Honors while in middle school. Superintendent David Trethaway commented that the students who would have scored 5s are probably taking Algebra 1 Honors, a sign that the district is placing its honors students very well. Percentages of students scoring 4s and 5s were lower for Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2, but Pedroza was able to draw patterns from last year’s testing data and show that the numbers are at least rising. For example, the percentage of 4s and 5s for Algebra 1 in 2016 was 20 percent, but jumped to 26 percent in 2017. The same was true for Geometry, which moved up from 6 to 12 percent.

Letters To The Editor Withdrawal From Barnegat Committee Race I wanted to take this opportunity to announce that I have withdrawn my name as a Democratic candidate for Bar negat Tow nship Committee. My name on the ballot is being replaced by Paul Whitcraft, an extremely qualified candidate who adds much value to our Democratic ticket. There has been much chatter about this, and I wanted to set the record straight. As the Democratic Municipal Chair and as a long-time Barnegat resident and activist in the political arena, I have been fighting for such issues as: affordable healthcare; equal rights and opportunities for all (from the workplace to the ballot box); a healthy economy stemming from economic justice policies; and measures to mitigate the negative impact of climate change. It goes without saying that I have been outspoken i n Ba r negat about the numerous issues which affect our Barnegat residents – chief among them, the tremendous increases in our taxes. That’s why, with my f inancial background, I thought that I could make a difference in Barnegat. However, after witnessing the incompetent and unstable governing going on in the White House and our “do-nothing Congress,” I feel my political activism needs to be directed toward electing Democratic congressional representatives in NJ, especially in the competitive races in the third and fourth congressional districts. I feel comfortable in this switch because we were successful in securing Paul Whitcraft as a replacement. This doesn’t diminish the importance of our local race in Barnegat or mean that I won’t be involved in our 2017 election. Many of the issues we Democrats ran on last year are still
Letters To The very relevant, such as our for you? WeEditor have those businesses, but it has other out-of-control taxes, the irresponsible spending of taxpayer dollars and the absolute need for a forensic audit. These issues will require a tremendous amount of time and research–time for which in 2018 I would be torn to split between the town’s issues and our country’s issues. As it pertains to our new ticket, I couldn’t be more delighted with our Barnegat Democratic candidates for Township Committee, Paul Whitcraft and Dan Ward. It is a strong ticket consisting of two professional candidates concerned with the issues important to Barnegat’s residents. To support the campaign go to wardandwhitcraft.com. Paul Whitcraft joins Dan Ward on the Democratic ticket in their campaign to unseat the Republican i ncu mbent s. W h itcr af t holds a degree from Drexel University and has had a long and prestigious career in the special metals industry, holding leadership roles in companies and professional organizations. He is married to Cyndi, his wife of 33 years and they have th ree g row n daughters. Dan Ward is an adjunct professor at Ocean County College and holds a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Stevens Institute of Technology and an MS from Illinois Institute of Technology. He grew up in Barnegat and attended Southern Regional HS. Marianne Clemente Barnegat

When Buying For Back To School, Buy Local Schools are getting ready to open and students from kindergarten to high school will be looking for the latest fashions, sneakers, backpacks and school supplies for the start of the new year. The perfect place to shop for back-to-school is right here in Ocean County. Our numerous small businesses and malls offer the latest and best items for young children and teenagers. I have often spoken about the importance of our Buy in Ocean County initiative, especially around the holidays. Nevertheless, Buy in Ocean County is important all year long, including back-toschool time. There are so many advantages to shopping local. Numerous well-stocked stores with helpful salespeople are only minutes away from any of our 33 towns. Our local businesses offer everything from that perfect lunchbox for the first day of first grade to a new laptop for a student heading off to college. Shopping locally not only suppor ts neighborhood
advantages over ordering online or through a catalog. When you buy local, you are protected against fraud. Both our county and state agencies have much more power when dealing with a local business complaint. For example, if a computer bought locally does not work and a customer has a problem returning it, the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs can help. However, there is little the department can do if an item is purchased online. Buying local means you can have confidence in your purchases. It can also save you money. Many times, catalog and online offers can seem cheaper, but don’t forget to add in the shipping costs. And if you have to return an item, it’s much easier to drive down the street and visit the store rather than pack and ship a package across country. Frequenting local businesses also helps protect Ocean County jobs. When you buy local you are supporting your neighbors. Our business community is a vital part of Ocean County. Local businesses also donate to local charities and give back to their communities, something that cannot be said about most catalog and online firms. As Chairman of the Ocean County Department of Business Development and Tourism, I encourage all of our residents to see what our local stores have to offer. With our many Mom & Pop businesses, chain stores, malls and outlet stores, everything you need for back to school is located right here at our doorstep. Freeholder Director Joseph H.

She realized the situation had become an officer safety issue, and that she couldn’t have officers out on the road without qualified dispatchers sitting at the desk. “We might have been able to get away with this 10 or 15 years ago, but Manchester is not the same community that it was 10 or 15 years ago,” she said, addi ng “We a re const antly t u r n i ng over excellent people who would like to stay because we have a great working environment, we have a great set of dispatchers.”

Full-time dispatchers were previously in a salary range of $35,000 to $60,000. That will now be bumped up to $42,000 to $66,000. Par t-time and per diem dispatchers will now make between $18 and $30 per hour. Previously, the high end was $20 per hour. As soon as it became an officer safety issue, Chief Parker said that Mayor Kenneth Palmer and the town council immediately addressed it. The new salary ranges were kept a secret until it was official, as not to upset any workers in case the deal fell through. Parker said that when the dispatchers found out, some of them were in tears. “The common goal is always give the
best service that we possibly can to the community while keeping cops safe,” said Parker. Part-time maintenance workers and para-professionals will also move up from minimum wage of $8.38 an hour to $15 per hour. Another big change is moving parttime UCC subcode officials off minimum wage to $37.50 an hour, which more closely aligns with the full-time salary for that position of $40,000 to $80,000 a year. The deputy director of public works position will also see its high end range increase from $92,000 to $110,000. “There were a number of positions in the township that are very difficult to
fill and our salaries were well below everyone else in the county and the state,” said Council President Samuel Fusaro. Fusaro said that while changes are made to the township’s salary ordinance every year as salaries rise due to inf lation, this was somewhat of a special change. He echoed Councilman Wallis in saying that Manchester was basically a teaching facility for first year township employees, and that after that first year they would leave for places that paid higher salaries. This was especially prevalent, he said, with dispatchers, maintenance and parttime workers, all whose salary ranges have been raised with the adoption of this ordinance on August 28.
Gas, which is proposing the project, said it would make service more reliable for 1 million people in 83 municipalities. They are all served by a source on the northern end of the coverage area. This pipeline would provide a source on the southern end. Some environmentalists had said publicly that the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst would not be benefitting from the pipeline. A spokeswoman for the base said that it would.
“Gas supply to the eastern portion of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst was identified as a critical system deficiency in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy,” said Senior Airman Lauren Russell, a public affairs officer, in an email. “The Lakehurst side of the joint base came perilously close to losing gas supply due to the near failure of the single source supply.” The proposed path of the pipeline goes through the Joint Base, from Route 539 through the southern edge of what was
formerly called the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, she said. “This route was developed in close coordination with Air Force engineering, environmental and legal experts,” she said. The goal was to create a route that made as little as possible of an impact to the staff, base operations, and the environment. Additionally, most of the path travels along land that has already been developed with roadways, avoiding occupied structures and locations where there are more people.

Back To School: Drivers, Children Should Stay Alert On County Roads
OCEAN COUNTY – As the start of another school year approaches, Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari is again reminding both drivers and children to use extra caution on the county’s roads and sidewalks. “It only takes a moment for tragedy to strike,” Vicari said “Whether students take the bus, walk, ride a bicycle or are driven to school by their parents, there are safety rules everyone must follow,” he said. For motorists, safe driving begins before the car even reaches the street, he said. “Even while backing out of your driveway you may encounter inattentive students walking or biking to school,” Vicari, a lifelong educator, said. Drivers must also be extra alert for lower

speed limits near schools. When approaching any intersection, pedestrian crossing or school zone, be alert, cover the brake and be ready to stop, he said. “Take a hard look,” Vicari said. “Look, and then look again, for the child hidden by parked cars, shrubbery or high grass, trees, or poles. Even mailboxes can obscure a child, if only for a moment.” Watch for the “darting child” who runs into the roadway chasing a ball or some other object, he said. He also urged students to use extra caution and carefully check for any moving traffic when they exit a school bus. “Never trust a vehicle to stop just because the bus is flashing its red warning lights. Always look both ways before crossing the street after stepping out of the school bus,” Vicari said. Vicari said children walking or biking to school should always follow the same route and avoid short cuts. “Parents should walk with their children at least once at the start of school so they know the route and how long it takes to travel to and from school,” he said. Vicari advised children to walk in groups and pay attention to any hazards along the way, such as road construction or barking dogs. “If a child is approached by a stranger in a car, they should be taught to run the opposite way – towards the rear of the car. This way, the driver will have to first turn around before they can pursue the child,” he said. Vicari also reminded children who ride their bikes to school that they must obey all traffic laws and wear a safety helmet as required by law. The start of the school year is also a good time to check the Meghan’s Law website, which will identify any convicted sex offenders that may be living near bus stops or walkers’ route to school, Vicari said. The database can be accessed through a link on the Ocean County Government Homepage at co.ocean.nj.us. The page can also be accessed directly at njsp.org/sex-offender -registry.

–Photos courtesy Redeemer Lutheran Church Over 75 children from the local community took part in Mighty Fortress Vacation Bible School at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Manchester. MANCHESTER – Redeemer Lutheran Church of Manchester hosted an exciting Mighty Fortress Vacation Bible School (VBS) from August 7 through 11, welcoming over 75 children and 50 volunteers from Manchester, Whiting, Toms River and Jackson through their doors. It was a great time for kids to grow in faith as they explored God’s Word. VBS was held Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and open to children of all religious denominations. It’s free and funded by congregates who donate money to the annual summer event. Churchgoers from Redeemer Lutheran donated their time during the week to run activities and programs with the kids. Mighty Fortress offered an opportunity to introduce children and their families to Christ and the church. It helped the children of Redeemer Lutheran grow in their faith in Jesus, while also reaching out to children in the local neighborhood. This makes VBS a key outreach ministry in both the congregation and within the local community. At Mighty Fortress VBS, children learned that in Jesus, the victory is won. Kids confidently celebrated that Jesus, their champion, has won the victory over sin, death and Satan, and that He acts through His Word and keeps His promises. Because the victory is won, every day is a day to celebrate. At Mighty Fortress, kids looked into

the Bible, God’s Holy Word, to discover that God is our Mighty Fortress, our Shield, and our Deliverer, and discovered God’s victory in the Bible stories of the Walls of Jericho, Hezekiah, Josiah, Palm Sunday and Easter. During the week, money was also raised for Sharing God’s Mighty Word, an outreach project that sends Bible-based literature to kids around the country. The project focuses on reaching inner-city children, Hispanic children, Native American children and those who are in crisis. With the help of the students and their families, volunteers and the congregation, a total of $644.48 was able to be donated to this worthy cause. It’s not just kids overseas who lack Bibles and other Christian books, it’s also kids within the U.S. and often in our own communities. The kids who go to school with our kids, who live a few houses down, and who live on the other side of town may have never even held a Bible. Sharing God’s Mighty Word focuses specifically on delivering Bible-based books to kids who are close to home. Redeemer Lutheran Church holds a Vacation Bible School every year and is looking forward to many more years to come. If you would like more information about the church or to be put on the VBS mailing list, please call the church at 732-657-2828.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)
Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Better Hearing Q & A Our patients always have great questions about hearing and hearing technology. We feel it’s our obligation as the community’s only AudigyCertified practice to provide you more than exceptional hearing care and technology recommendations; we are here to give you the informative answers you’re looking for so you can confidently make educated decisions about your hearing health. Question - I’ve seen devices called “personal sound amplifiers,” or PSAs, advertised on TV. Are they the same as hearing aids? Answer - No, they are not. Personal sound amplifiers are quite different from hearing aids. These devices shouldn’t be used in the place of an expertly tuned hearing aid fit by a licensed hearing professional. Personal sound amplifiers
were created to amplify sounds during recreational activities like hunting and bird watching, not to alleviate a hearing problem. Since their specific function is to make sounds louder, personal sound amplifiers can actually be harmful to your hearing. Unlike properly fit hearing aids, personal sound amplifiers cannot adapt to environmental sounds. Loud sounds will just get louder, potentially causing serious damage to your hearing. Call for a free technology demonstration - Our practice offers the latest, most effective hearing aid technology available. And our experience in fitting and adjusting hearing aids means we can fine-tune them to respond to the way you live your life. Only a properly fit hearing instrument can do this, and this is what our hearing care providers do best.
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!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Saying No Can Reduce Cortisol And Anxiety By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Cortisol is one of the hormones your body releases in response to stress, and it impacts many different functions in your body. People think cortisol is a bad hormone but it’s not bad at all, it helps regulate blood sugar levels and metabolism. Cortisol is often referred to as the ‘belly fat’ hormone because too much cortisol causes you to gain weight, especially around your mid-section. In normal amounts cortisol helps keep inflammation down. But like all good things, too much cortisol results in a variety of health issues, from frequent infections to acid reflux, heart disease, diabetes and a higher risk of cancer. Cortisol overload is mostly associated with adrenal fatigue. You will feel physically beat up and achy at times, very tense and on edge, as well as overwhelmed. Your brain refuses to comply and memory slips, and you develop insomnia. Sugar, salt and fat cravings are also intense so you probably like eating a bag of sea salt potato chips and chasing it down with a sugary drink of some sort. There’s no easy fix at this point, but the quickest way to help yourself is to give yourself some me-time, or a vacation from whatever weighs on your heart and causes the stress. If you continue to drag yourself through each day, you’ll wind up at a physician’s office. Then you are sure to be given all kinds of psychoactive medications and possibly stimulants. But why would you want to start taking those drugs that are addictive or dangerous when you can ask to have your adrenals checked with a test? It’s called a “4 Point Cortisol Saliva Test” or something similar, depending on the lab that you use.
If you are anxious or panicky, the fastest way to help yourself is to avoid processed foods and those laden with MSG or what’s called “free glutamate” Foods that include either one of these ingredients include fast food, junk food, cold cuts and broths, including bone broth. Chinese food is also pretty notorious for having MSG, although some restaurants have stopped adding it. Vegan diets are extremely high in MSG. Anxiety is provoked by medications in some people: Asthma inhalers and pills Estrogen-containing drugs Antibiotics Steroids SSRI antidepressants Levodopa Decongestants Thyroid medication in excess Adaptogens are helpful in rescuing tired adrenals, but let’s be realistic, they can’t compensate for a hundred micro-stressors a day, addictions to Facebook likes, a bad relationship or a horrible boss. Ask your doctor if either Siberian ginseng, Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, Schisandra, Tulsi (Holy Basil) are okay for you. We can’t entirely avoid stress or people who are crazy, and that’s okay. But I’ll tell you straight up, it is not intelligent to allow yourself to be taken advantage of. It’s totally within your rights to set boundaries and politely say “No.” If you continue to put everyone’s happiness first (above your own) you will surely be miserable and anxious. If you are a people pleaser, stop it. You’re headed for disaster, and then you’ll be useless to everyone who needs you. Tough love, but someone has to tell you.

Bartley Healthcare Announces Most Recent 5-Star Rating
JACKSON – The high quality of the services and care provided by Bartley Healthcare Nursing and Rehabilitation has again been recognized by the Federal Government’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as a 5-star skilled nursing facility in the CMS Overall, Quality Measures and Inspections categories. CMS created the Five-Star Quality Rating System to help con-
sumers, their families and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily and to help identify areas about which you may want to ask questions. Bartley Healthcare is proud to be recognized by this highest CMS 5-star rating. The Nursing Home Compare website features a quality rating system that gives each nursing home a rating of between 1 and 5 stars. Nursing homes with 5 stars are
considered to have the highest quality and nursing homes with 1 star are considered to have quality much below average. There is one overall 5-star rating for each nursing home, and a separate rating for each of the following three sources of information: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. In addition to the 5-star CMS rating, another indicator of Bartley’s quality is their Joint
Commission Accreditation, with Post-Acute and Memory Care Certifications, demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Joint Commission is the nation’s oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care. This certificate is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality, representing a healthcare organization’s commitment to meeting the highest standards. For over 31 years, Bartley Healthcare has provided quality individual focused memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and assisted living services for residents on its 25-acre campus in Jackson, NJ. Founded in 1985, Bartley Healthcare has long been recognized as an award winning, quality leader with the experience in memory care, skilled nursing, post-acute care and assisted living. Bartley Healthcare is Joint Commission accredited, with special certification for their Memory Care and Post-Acute Programs. For more information, visit bartleyhealthcare.com or call today at 732-370-4700.
Antique Automobile Show Featuring The Cameos
TOMS RIVER – It’ll be a flashback Saturday on September 23 at the Ocean County Vintage Automobile Club’s 12th Annual Antique Automobile Show, being held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Rose Garden Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, 1579 Old Freehold Road. New Jersey’s favorite oldies group and 1950’s recording artist The Cameos will perform the music of the 50’s and 60’s starting at 1 p.m. The Cameos first hit the charts in 1959 with the song “Rock and Roll Arabian Nights” and have continued to keep the sound of the “oldies” alive, performing music that holds a special meaning for those who grew up with it – the type of music you could sing along with, dance to and fall in love with. The free event will also feature refreshments, prizes for kids, special parking for car clubs and craft vendors. Craft vendors are needed for the event and should call Kevin Bassinder at 732-505-4477 or email KBActivities@aol.com with a subject line of Car Show or Craft Vendor. There will be a large seating area provided, but it is recommended to bring a lawn chair or something to sit on.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Sibling Rivalry Dear Joel, My two daughters are extremely competitive. They got along so well when they were little, but now they barely interact at all. Julie joined the debate team so Jill joined the math club, Julie took up tennis and Jill joined softball. With a new school year starting, who knows what else they’ll join. I think it’s all too much. How can I get them to see that their relationship is more important than those activities? Dan, Forked River Dear Dan, Some lessons you lear n quickly, some you learn over time. I hope your girls don’t waste a second learning the lesson of family love and support. There’s nothing wrong with a little healthy competition (think of tennis pro sisters Venus and Serena Williams), especially when kids are growing up, trying to fi nd their identity. They can
be ferocious “I can top that” kids, but you will have to put your foot down if the competition ever turns hurtful or insulting. You should also insist that you and the girls participate in at least one regularly scheduled activity every week that they are both challenged by. Like say a weekly cooking session where they both make a variation of recipe and share it, or maybe a line dancing class; there’s always a bunch of laughs trying to remember the steps. In time, bigger things, like weddings, babies, graduations and life will take center stage. Remind them they can face anything when they do it together. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Workers’ Compensation Checklist
Robert C. Shea Esq.
Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea of R.C. Shea & Associates
The New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act allows for numerous benefits should you sustain an injury out of and in the course of your employment. Please allow this article to provide you with a checklist to determine whether you are receiving the appropriate benefits under the law. Did you report your accident or injury to your employer? By statute you are provided a short period of time to actually notify your employer of the injury. The most restrictive notice requirement is applied when a hernia is alleged, as you have only forty-eight (48) hours to report this. Although other accidents and injuries allow for more leniency, as you may be entitled to medical treatment, all injuries should be reported as soon as possible. Have you sought medical treatment? After providing notice to your employer that you have sustained an injury, you should seek medical attention immediately, should same be necessary. The longer that one waits to request medical treatment, the harder it will be to causally connect the injury to the incident at work. In addition, injuries often respond better to appropriate medical treatment provided in a reasonable time, rather than allowing the injury to worsen before attempting treatment. Has your employer notified the workers’compensation insurance carrier? This is important so that you are provided with a claim number to provide to medical providers to insure payment on your behalf. Also, although you provide notice to your employer, future endeavors relative to the claim will be more efficiently completed if the carrier is immediately put on notice. Has your employer or its workers’ compensation insurance carrier provided you with a medical professional with whom to seek medical treatment? On some occasions, the employer may indicate that you should seek treatment and bring the employer any outstanding medical bills. This is contrary to the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act and usually signifies that the carrier has not yet been notified. It is important that you understand that the employer, through its carrier, has the right to choose the physicians from whom you receive medical treatment for compensable injuries. A physician you choose, with the intention of providing bills to the employer, is not authorized and may not be recognized by the carrier in the future.
Is the physician with whom you are treating providing you with reasonable and necesChristopher R. Shea Esq. sary medical treatment? It is important that you provide the authorized medical professional with all of your medical complaints that are related to the compensable injury, and that all of those complaints are addressed by that physician. Are you receiving temporary disability benefits through the workers’ compensation carrier for 70 % of your standard average weekly wage? This is required in the event that the authorized physician indicates that you are temporary totally disabled, or able to return to modified duty which can not be accommodated by your employer. Temporary disability through your employer is not the same as disability through the State and need not be applied for. In the event that you are instructed to apply for disability through the State, you are not getting the benefit as provided by Statute. After completion of your medical treatment and temporary disability benefits, have you received compensation for the permanent disability arising out of your compensable injury? If you have received benefits, have you contacted an attorney to determine whether these benefits are consistent with the injury and disability you sustained? Although this checklist may not be comprehensive, it is a starting point to determine whether you are receiving the appropriate benefits under the law. Should any of the above not be consistent with the benefits you are receiving, there are actions that may be taken by an attorney to bring your matter before the court so that the issues may be resolved.

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.

DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home, Inc. 119 Union Avenue, Lakehurst, N.J. 08733 732-657-7868 Sherry T. DeGraff, Mgr. N.J. No. 3921 degrafffuneralhome@msn.com
DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home is family owned and operated. Founded by Donald & Wanda DeGraff in 1979 in historic downtown Lakehurst. The building itself has a funeral history dating back to the early 1900’s. “Our father was the type of person who was so very compassionate and caring,” said Sherry DeGraff, Manager. “He was an entrepreneur, involved in a number of businesses, but his love was always for the funeral industry.” DeGraff’s mother Wanda is still alive and “still our boss, even if she won’t admit it,” said DeGraff, and her father, Donald passed away in 2004. Growing up with the funeral business surrounding her, DeGraff said she learned from an early age how to treat customers in their time of need. “You handle people in the same way you would want your own family handled, “said DeGraff. “You have to be a good listener, have a lot of compassion and be very flexible. While the core values – compassion, respect and flexibility – have not changed for the DeGraff family, the trends in the funeral business have. Years back, cremations were rare and some religious affiliations did not hold them in high favor. In 1990 the DeGraff family saw the future trends were leaning toward cremation, as a result, their daughter Sherry opened DeGraff Cremation Service offering a wide variety of cremation service options. The move towards more cremation represents the largest shift in the funeral industry. In fact, many consumers believe the cremation
itself is performed at the individual funeral home or cremation service they hired. This is not correct. Crematories are owned by cemeteries. Most people are surprised when they hear that. Many people are unaware that cremation must be authorized by a spouse or blood kin under New Jersey State Law. This can cause undue stress for people who do not have a spouse or family.

The McKenzie Method in the Treatment of Low Back Pain
T
By: Kyle Kaye, DPT, Brick Physical Therapist
he human back is an elaborate structure of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. There are many leading causes and reasons for back pain. Some causes include sprained ligaments, strained muscles, ruptured disks, and irritated joints. According to the Global Burden of Disease, the leading cause of disability worldwide is back pain. Americans spend more than $50 billion each year on back pain relief and remedies alone. In fact, it is the leading cause for missing work. Each year, half of the working American population admits to having back pain. With the exception of upperrespiratory infections, back pain is the most common reason for scheduling appointments with doctors. Yet, there is still 37% of the American population that do not seek professional help for pain relief. It is estimated that nearly 80% of society will develop and experience back issues at some point in their lives. A majority of back pain cases are not caused by severe conditions, such as inflammatory arthritis, infection, fracture or cancer. These non-acute cases are categorized as mechanical or non-organic back pain. The lumbar spine is where the spine curves inward toward the abdomen, more commonly referred to as the lower back. It begins five to six inches below the shoulder blades. The weight of the entire torso is supported by five of the largest vertebrae in the lumbar spine (L1-L5). They are the largest unfused vertebrae in the spinal column. Due to the fact that the lowest two spinal segments in the lumbar spine, L4-L5 and L5-S1, bear the most weight, they are most prone to degradation and injury. There are five intervertebral segments within the lumbar spine; which is distinguished as lumbar segment 1 through 5. Lumbar spine segments consists of two vertebrae, stacked on top of one another with an intervertebral disc resting in between them. A healthy disc has a sponge-like consistency, is pliable, and retains plenty of water. Discs in such condition provide flexibility as well as protection to the spine. In other words, they act as shock absorbers for the spine. However, an extensive amount of pain can occur if a disc begins to degenerate. Herniated discs have a tendency to occur in the lumbar spine. Discs can become herniated due to sudden injury, heavy lifting, or over a longer period of time from general wear and tear on the spine. The most common sign of a herniated disc is leg pain.
There are many sources of pain that are directly linked with the lumbar spine. Some pain sources include pain to the muscles, joint issues, the discs, the bones and any irritation to the nerve roots that are released from the spine. Muscle strain, or some other muscle related problem, is one of the most common causes of lower back pain. Some of the usual muscle strains seen include strain due to heavy lifting, bending, or another strenuous and repetitive act. Even though muscle strains can be very painful; they usually heal within a few days to a few weeks. An extremely effective and widely accepted program for patients with nonspecific spinal pain is the McKenzie Method. This paradigm was discovered on the foundation that mechanical forces are received formally by particular tissues; such as paraspinal musculature, spinal joint articulations, intervertebral discs, and neural tissue, leading to tissue damage and subsequent injury. The problem will persist and tissue healing will not occur if normal function is not restored. This form of treatment uses assessment techniques to categorize patients into specific clinical subgroups. The McKenzie Method is a dependable and reliable method that successfully assesses all musculoskeletal problems; including back pain, neck and extremities (such as shoulders, ankles, and knees). It also is an excellent method in assessing issues associate with sciatica, sacroiliac joint pain, arthritis, degenerative disc disease, muscle spasms and intermittent numbness in hands or feet. The McKenzie Method does not include the use of medication, heat, cold, ultrasound, needles, or surgery. It rather helps to promote the body’s potential to repair itself. This method can ultimately help reduce the patient’s dependency on medical intervention. It encourages patients to learn the principles of the McKenzie Method and empowers them to be in control of their own symptom management. If used correctly, the McKenzie Method should ultimately help do the following: (1) Accurately understand the patient’s presentation and behavior of symptoms, (2) Determine the most appropriate and effective treatment plan, (3) Eliminate symptoms and restore full function, and (4) Empower the patient to self-treat and prevent recurrences. Symptom relief is the goal, accomplished through an individualized treatment program in which the patient performs specific exercises approximately 10 times per day at home, as opposed to 1 or 2 clinical visits per week. Although specialized training
is needed to ensure proper evaluation and appropriate treatment, McKenzie therapy seems to be an effective technique in alleviating back pain compared with other conservative treatment options. In summary the McKenzie Method is a standardized approach to both the assessment and treatment of acute, sub-acute and chronic lower back and/or leg pain. The McKenzie Method is not simply a set of exercises; it is a defined algorithm that serves to classify the spinal problem so that it can be adequately treated. The McKenzie Method is grounded in finding a cause and effect relationship between the positions the patient usually assumes while sitting, standing, or moving, and the generation of pain as a result of those positions or activities. The therapeutic approach requires a patient to move through a series of activities and test movements to gauge the patient’s pain response. The approach then uses that information to develop an exercise protocol designed to alleviate the pain. It is a proactive, patient centered approach highly focused on patient education so the individuals may manage their own symptoms and avoid the recurrence of the offending back pain.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Dr. Sinikka Kazanjian
Dr. Brian Klohn When was the last time you visited a dentist? If you are like most adults, the last time you went to the dentist was when that recurring toothache became so unbearable you had no choice but to go in for a visit. Millions of Americans have fear or anxiety when it comes to visiting the dentist, and this is a fact that the dentists at Lakehurst Dental, Dr. Brain Klohn and Dr. Sinikka Kazanjian, keep in mind when treating their patients. At Lakehurst Dental, located in Lakehurst at 19 Union Ave., care is personalized and comfortable, giving even the most petrified patients a reason to smile. In his 26 years of dental experience, Dr. Klohn has always strived to bring patients the best dental care and the latest procedures and technology. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in the top 10 of his class in 1991, after which he began his residency at Monmouth Medical Center. In 1992, he began working for Dr. Kantor at the current downtown Lakehurst location, becoming a partner in 1996 and then sole proprietor in 1999 when Dr. Kantor retired. A few years after taking over Lakehurst Dental, Dr. Klohn’s associate, Dr. Sinikka Kazanjian, joined the team, enhancing the practice with her dedication to providing state-of-the-art dental care with Lakehurst Dental’s signature personalized and comfortable approach. Dr. Kazanjian graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine as well, and after completing her degree in 2000, she acted as chief dental resident at Monmouth Medical Center the following year. Dr. Klohn has remodeled the entire building, and the result is an office with a clean and relaxing ambiance. As you sit in the waiting room, you might watch the flat screen TV or take a gander through a binder that is filled with information on oral health and dental procedures. Despite the coziness and charm of the waiting room, however, you won’t fi nd yourself there for too long. As Dr. Klohn says, “We don’t over book, so you’re not waiting in the waiting room because that automatically raises your anxiety level.” At Lakehurst Dental, you’ll fi nd a unique breed of doctor that perhaps you have yet to encounter; dentists who are genuinely sympathetic and considerate of the fact that you’re not exactly thrilled about your
A Reason To Smile impending root canal. It is this understanding of patient concerns and a valiant effort to, as their Web site, www.lakehurstdental.com says, “bring comfort to your dental experience” that sets Lakehurst Dental apart from its competitors. Unlike some dental clinics, where patients might idle a preposterously long time in the waiting room, see a different doctor on each visit and feel rushed during the appointment, Lakehurst Dental is a private practice that gives patients a more personal experience. Patients see the same doctor on each visit, a routine that facilitates a trusting doctor/patient relationship and helps to alleviate any nervousness. Patients can rest assured that their dentist is familiar with their dental history, because the same dentist has been treating them all along. As a full-service dental facility, Lakehurst Dental takes their commitment to their patients a step further by offering a multitude of services and minimizing the chance of sending patients out for certain procedures. All your dental needs can be met at Lakehurst Dental, in a calm atmosphere, with a familiar dentist with whom you are comfortable. Dr. Klohn explains that, “We block enough time out for our patients so we can explain what they need and really make sure they understand what they’re getting and what they’re paying for and why.” Dr. Klohn and Dr. Kazanjian want their patients to be relaxed, educated and healthy. Education is a priority, not just for patients at Lakehurst Dental, but also for the dentists themselves. Both Dr. Klohn and Dr. Kazanjian are members of the Advanced Dental Seminar Team through which they participate in ongoing education to stay up to date on the latest technologies in the dental industry. They also lecture on dentistry at Monmouth Medical Center. It is through the commitment that Dr. Klohn and Dr. Kazanjian have made to continuing education that has enabled them to keep abreast of the advancements in the field and offer their patients the best that the science of dentistry has to offer. Lakehurst Dental offers dental implant restorations, dentures, porcelain veneers, cosmetic dentistry, root canal therapy and oral surgery. They practice stringent
infection control procedures and their sterilization procedures meet CDC guidelines. Lakehurst Dental also makes dental care more affordable by accepting credit cards, offering a no-interest payment plan and participating with the Delta Dental Premier Plan of NJ. Although new techniques and procedures are always being introduced, the age-old basics still apply when it comes to taking care of those pearly whites. You should brush at least twice a day and floss daily. And whether you’re 3 or 103, it’s paramount that you visit Dr. Klohn or Dr. Kazanjian at least once every six months to avoid problems caused by neglect. You might think that going to the dentist is
a tedious and agonizing chore, but after an appointment with Dr. Klohn or Dr. Kazanjian, your opinion might change. To experience the personalized approach and the emphasis on comfort that Lakehurst Dental provides, you can call the office at 732-657-7400 to schedule an appointment. The office is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Beware, however, that an appointment at Lakehurst Dental might cause some side-effects - like a smile, and a newfound enjoyment in a visit to the dentist!
The atmosphere at Lakehurst Dental is relaxed and cozy.
Lakehurst Dental, located at 19 Union Ave, brings comfort to the dental experience.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of september 2 - september 8
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The harder you strike, the faster you can pound in the nail. Focus your efforts on constructive activities but put your love life on the back burner in the week to come. Some relationships may face an uphill battle. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Sometimes there is less than meets the eye. Don’t read too much into minor rifts in the week to come and avoid making major purchases. You might fool other people but you will never be able to fool yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make a commitment to guide your life with the truth and honesty. Focus your thoughts on those things that constitute permanent values and display obvious worth. Family members will be more supportive than friends. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may not be at your best when engaging in face-to-face meetings during the first half of the week. You will, however, be able to exude confidence whenever important financial matters come to your attention. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The best arrow in your quiver of skills is your talent for understanding the deepest feelings of others. In the week ahead use compassion to help those in need. You may not see concrete results but you will know what you did. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When you put your thinking cap on you look as though you should be attending the Kentucky Derby or a royal wedding. Your ideas may lead to discussions that win new friends and support in the week to come.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You could be too generous and tolerant of others for your own good. In the week ahead there may be someone who is all too willing to take advantage of you in a business or financial situation. Avoid making casual promises. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Appreciate someone’s work ethic and smile, not their status. In the week to come you may be inspired or occasionally confused by outward appearances. Focus on making concrete accomplishments part of your resume. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Hanging on to the past can be an obstacle to your future. Your business sense may be out of kilter in the week ahead. An old friend may act in an embarrassing manner or you might feel left out of a group activity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may develop an allergy to wool if you pull the wool over someone’s face. It may be pleasant to find admirers, but they may be misled by your outward persona. In the week ahead try to be more revealing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Let others use you as a tower of strength, not a crutch. A display of sympathy never helped anyone become stronger or learn to handle troubles wisely. Keep your money in the piggy bank the first half of the week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take stock of your work and your health as this week unfolds. What you really need to be happy and comfortable may be illuminated. A friend or child may mystify you with a penchant for unrealizable fantasies.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Full Steam Ahead:The ‘Dog Days’ Of Summer Are A PerfectTimeTo StartThinking About Fall Fare By Wolfgang Puck POMEGRANATE-MARINATED PORK CHOPS WITH BRAISED GREENS Serves 4 POMEGRANATE MARINADE: 1/4 cup (60 mL) peanut oil 4 dried red chiles 2 cups (500 mL) bottled pomegranate juice 1/2 cup (125 mL) rice wine vinegar 1/4 cup (60 mL) soy sauce 6 ounces (185 g) tamarind paste 1/2 cup (125 mL) packed dark brown sugar 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped garlic 1/2 cup (125 mL) thinly sliced peeled fresh ginger 1 bunch green onions, trimmed and chopped 2 tablespoons coriander seeds, toasted in a small, dry pan just until fragrant, then crushed 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper PORK CHOPS AND GREENS: 1 (8-rib) pork rack, about 6 pounds (3 kg), bones frenched Pomegranate marinade (recipe previous recipe) Salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup (120 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 9 ounces (280 g) unsalted butter 2 ounces (60 g) thick-sliced smoked bacon, cut into large cubes 2 whole unpeeled heads garlic, cut in half horizontally 2 pounds (1 kg) organic kale or mustard greens, washed, trimmed, stems removed, leaves cut into 3-inch (7.5-cm) squares 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) organic low-sodium chicken broth or stock First, make the pomegranate marinade: In a saute pan, heat
the peanut oil over medium heat. Add the chiles and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Transfer to a deep casserole dish and add the pomegranate juice, vinegar and soy sauce. Stir in the tamarind and brown sugar until dissolved; then, stir in the remaining marinade ingredients. Place the pork rack in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours. Remove the pork from the marinade, pat dry with paper towels, and season all over with salt and pepper. Divide the marinade into 2 portions and reserve. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). In a large saute pan, heat 1/4 cup (60 mL) olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter over high heat. Sear the pork until golden on all sides. Carefully transfer the rack to a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven, basting every 5 minutes with half of the reserved marinade, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat not touching bone registers 150 F to 160 F (65 C to 70 C). Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and leave to rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, bring the remaining half of the marinade to a boil and reduce until thickened to coating consistency; then pour through a wire strainer into a clean pan. A few pieces at a time, whisk in 4 ounces (125 g) of the butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reserve. At the same time, prepare the greens: In a saute pan, heat the remaining olive oil. Saute the smoked bacon and garlic until golden. Add 4 ounces (125 g) butter and, when melted, add the kale or mustard greens and season with salt and pepper. Deglaze with 3/4 cup (185 mL) chicken stock, stirring and scraping to dissolve the pan deposits. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep warm. To serve, mound the greens in the centers of 4 serving plates. Cut the rack of pork between the bones into individual chops and rest them against the greens. Ladle the reserved pomegranate sauce over and around the chops and serve immediately.
