Do I Need A Hearing Aid?
By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – It might have been terrible luck that caused a Manchester Township Middle School teacher to have been struck by lightning, but the outpouring of support afterward was anything but random. It was the result of a compassionate community. Jessica Geiger, 33, was on bus duty after school

–Photos by Chris Lundy By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – Downtown Lakehurst will be split up a bit, at least for driving purposes, while a construction project is going on by the Post Office. The New Jersey Department of Transportation is in the midst of a two-week closure and detour of Union Avenue and Brown Avenue, ending March 30. The railroad crossing will be removed and replaced with a new concrete crossing and asphalt approach, according to a DOT press release. The result is expected to be safer and smoother. The project is federally funded, the DOT reported. Union Avenue will be closed at Center Street and Brown Avenue will be closed at Second Street. If you’re traveling east on Union Avenue, you will be made to turn left onto Center Street, then right onto Route 70, and then right onto Brown

By Jennifer Peacock LAKEHURST – A walking route for elementary school students will get some much-needed repairs. The 500 block of Pine Street and east will
have curb and sidewalk improvements. Some parts of the sidewalk are crumbling and will be replaced. Other parts that have no sidewalk will have it installed. (Pine Street - See Page 5)
Manchester Will Replace Your Mailbox If Destroyed By Plows By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – If the township destroys a resident’s mailbox while plowing snow, he or she may be eligible for $50 reimbursement. “While there is no legal requirement that the Township do so, it is the policy of the Township of Manchester to reimburse residents up to $50 for eligible dam-
aged mailboxes, caused by direct contact on part of the…Department of Public Works or their subcontractors,” read a statement from the township. There are, of course, limitations to the liability. Residents will only be reimbursed if the mailbox or its pole were hit by a plow or other snow (Mailbox - See Page 5)

services. Tons of local businesses donated their time and products for the event, making the expo a successful demonstration of community collaboration at work. The purpose of the prom expo was to facilitate getting businesses back in touch with the youth, said Kaiser. She held auditions back in February for teens to model in the fashion show, to which 68 local kids from the community came out. Only 20 girls and 8 guys, all 19 or younger, were chosen to model in the event. “We don’t look for perfect,” said Kaiser, on choosing the models. The fashion show was not only meant to connect businesses and the community, but also to, “empower the kids and make them feel good about themselves,” said Steve Szczypinski of Chazmatazz Formalwear in Toms River, which donated the tuxedos for the evening. And many could see the empowering forces at work as the girls and guys strutted down the makeshift runway with confidence, modeling stylish fashions, both casual and formal. Local businesses such as Sunshine 22, Agnes and Dora, Monica Korinne Couture, Antoinette Rose, and Silk Purse donated dozens of ensembles for the girls to show off. In the banquet hall of La Bove Grande, tables lined all four walls, displaying merchandise from all kinds of

The entire inventory at the event consisted of prom-related items such as makeup, hair products and accessories, clothing, prom dresses and tuxedos, nails, jewelry, handbags and more. “The vendors are local businesses, local women and men that either have store fronts or run businesses out of their house, they’re all community people,” said Kaiser. The show was structured to alternate between
the fashion show and raffles for the audience members. Businesses contributed not only their time and effort, but some also threw in an extra perk offering special prizes for raffle winners. Kaiser noted that they raffled off limousine rides, gift cards and discounts to local stores, and items from certain vendors, such as a loaded basket of goodies from Avon Makeup. Falling in with the collaborative theme of the night, Kaiser noted that, “It’s not about the money, and the money we do make we put back out into advertising”

By Kimberly Bosco LAKEHURST – The theme of the evening was “beauty, not perfection” at the 3rd Annual Lakehurst Beauty, Fashion and Prom Expo. The fashion show event was held on the evening of March 9 in the banquet hall of La Bove Grande Restaurant, where local businesses and residents got together to celebrate beauty and community in a showcase of local fashion products. What began three years ago as an effort to reconnect local businesses in the Lakehurst community has since, “morphed into this gigantic display of beauty, fashion and talent,” according to Rose Kaiser, head organizer of the prom expo and employee at Dimensional Designs Salon & Spa on Union Avenue in Lakehurst. Kaiser noted that the entire staff of Dimensional Designs worked on the expo and helped the girls and guys get ready for the fashion show, by providing hair, makeup, and spray tan

Continued From Page 1 on March 7, according to a police report. She was reportedly holding an umbrella while standing on the sidewalk in the front of the school. It was a rare sense of thundersnow, when snow is the precipitation that falls during a thunderstorm instead of rain. Police had reported that she was conscious and talking when they arrived, and she had been taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune. Geiger, an 8th grade language arts teacher, returned to school on March 16. “I am fine, which is a miracle,” she said. Other staff from the school brought her inside and made sure she was safe. “The staff were like my angels,” she said. She thanked the staff, administration, and

The mailbox must be an approved United States Postal Service box that is properly fastened to its pole and in good condition. It has to be set eight inches from the curb line or traveled portion of the roadway and is “not located less than 40 inches above the traveled surface.” The burden of proof lies upon the resident of the damaged or destroyed mailbox or post, and a claim must be filed within seven days to the Department of Public Works, which will then investigate the claim. The township will only reimburse the resident, and not perform any repairs or replacements. Residents are still responsible to remove snow from sidewalks or known pedestrian walkways, and from around their mailboxes as to not impede access by the postal service. Code Enforcement can fine residents $100 for the first offense for failing to clear snow, and $200 per offense per day afterward, but not more than $1,000 total.

Of course, some of students had a little fun at her expense. “I was so shocked to hear this happened…” or, it was an “electrifying experience.” When she came back, her students wanted to know if she had super powers now. “Of course I do. I’m a teacher. All teachers have super powers.” Principal Nancy Driber celebrated the faculty for two reasons: how they responded in an emergency, and how they came together to support a coworker in a time of need. “I’m super proud of the whole staff. None of the staff members worried about themselves. They instinctively wanted to help. Words cannot express how proud I am.”

Beware Of Energy Aggregation Scammers From The Desk Of
The Mayor - By Manchester Mayor
Kenneth T. Palmer MANCHESTER – As you are aware, Manchester Township entered into a third party energy aggregation contract with Gabel Associates and Tri-Eagle Energy during the summer of 2017. The feedback from
residents has been positive, as many satisfied customers in Manchester Township now experience lower electric bills. This township program has led other third party energy aggregators to entice
our residents with electricity rates that are allegedly lower. We have received a number of calls recently from residents who have been approached by these other companies with their own offers. One resident reported that a third party energy company inappropriately requested personal and financial information. While there may be some reputable energy companies with legitimate offers, residents should be aware that there are also some unscru-
pulous ones. We recommend that our residents be cautious in giving any financial information to a company or individual that has not been investigated thoroughly. *Please be advised that TriEagle Energy and Gabel Associates are the only energy aggregation companies the Township is currently working with. If you require any additional information concerning Manchester Township’s energy aggregation program, please contact Gabel Associates at
855-365-0770 or visit the “Energy Aggregation” section of the Township website located at: manchestertwp. com/energy/.* As a reminder, Jersey Central Power & Light continues to service residents’ homes while electricity is delivered by TriEagle Energy to those who participate in the program. The energy aggregation program contract remains in effect for a 24-month period, while the township retains the right to renegotiate a lower rate if
House Passes School Safety Bill From The Desk Of
Congressman Chris Smith NEW JERSEY – The House voted overwhelmingly to pass an important bill to help prevent school violence, in the wake of the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL. Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) co-sponsored the legislation. “In any discussion on education policy and gun laws, there should be no higher priority right now than school safety,” Rep. Smith stated. “This bill
provides critical funding of evidence-based prevention strategies, to ensure our students receive the best protection possible.” Rep. Smith, who discussed school safety with high school students from Tinton Falls and Middletown recently, co-sponsored the STOP School Violence Act, HR-4909, which would reauthorize and improve the existing Secure Our Schools program, through the Department of Justice’s Bureau
of Justice Assistance and which was created after the school shootings in Columbine, CO and Newtown, CT. The Secure Our Schools program provides funding to state, local and tribal gover nments for school safety strategies that are tailored to specific schools and districts. The bill would authorize $75 million per year for schools to implement prevention measures to protect students from acts of violence in the future. These measures would include funding for metal detectors and other security equipment, training for security personnel, cooperation between schools and local law enforcement, and training for teachers to recognize
potential threats to students and to intervene before threats become active. The legislation would also help schools create an anonymous reporting system for students to send tips about possible threats to local law enforcement. “This grant program is an important part of what should be a comprehensive response to violence in our schools,” Smith said. “We must do all we can to protect
tomorrow’s leaders today, and ensure they have the best environment possible to focus on their studies.” “When our children are organizing walkouts or demonstrations to show that they do not feel safe at school, we know that something is terribly wrong and needs to be remedied immediately.” Smith is also a cosponsor of HR-4240, which would close the gun show loop-
JCP&L’s basic rate becomes lower than the TriEagle Energy rate. Residents can ‘opt in’ or ‘opt out’ of the program at any time during the course of the contract, with no fees. The township has also had complaints from residents concerning questionable practices by some solar companies. Again, there may be some reputable solar companies, but be aware of any agreement with a company that “sounds too good to be true,” because it probably is.
hole, provide consistent background checks and ensure that all who should be prohibited from gun purchases would be listed in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). He recently met with students from Middletown South High School and Monmouth Regional High School in Tinton Falls, where they discussed gun laws and school safety.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Earbuds, Blasting Music Actually Blasts Your Ears In March, we observe World Hearing Day, recognizing that 1 in 5 Americans have some sort of hearing loss. It is certainly alarming, as we watch the next generation of Americans pump up the music on the latest set of wireless ear buds. As audiologists, this is deeply concerning because music companies encourage children and teens to “experience the music” at loud volumes. I, too, am guilty of blasting music and attending a concert or two that left my ears ringing for days. But as a member of the New Jersey Speech-Language-Hearing Association, I feel compelled to note that once someone loses their hearing, he or she can’t get it back. Just look at all the rock stars who are now suffering
from permanent hearing loss, from Pete Townsend, to Eric Clapton, to Paul Stanley to Brian Wilson. Many of these musicians are now learning to lip read after suffering from hearing loss and tinnitus. Tinnitus occurs when the ear perceives sound, often in the form of ringing, even when no sound is present. When a child or teen blasts music through ear buds, it goes straight into their ears. The levels of the music they experience can be as damaging as attending concerts and can result in hearing loss and ringing in the ears. We must educate parents, teachers and children about how these earbuds can contribute to permanent hearing loss. Bob DiSogra NJSHA Member Brick

You Fell? Please Call 9-1-1 One of the most common calls we get is for a “Fall” or a “Lift Assist.” We take these calls seriously. Whether you are hurt or just need help to get up, there is no need to apologize. Please don’t hesitate to call 9-1-1. Don’t wait for hours trying to get yourself or your partner up. This happens. We understand. We are all in or near the same boat. One day, after being on the floor, helping a patient, one of our members looked at me and said, “I need a lift assist.” I was sorry when she said she just couldn’t do this anymore but we are all going to get there. The point is – don’t feel bad about calling us. There are s ome w ays to decrease falls. If you have walker or cane, use it. You have some of those beautiful small decorative rugs? Get rid of them. For us, they make better wall hangings. Sturdy slippers with backs may not win you the glamour queen/ king award but they may keep you from falling. And, replace them if they are old. Socks are cozy and warm but they are slippery on wood and tile floors. As we get older we tend to “shuffle.” Pick up your feet especially on your carpeting. Not only won’t you trip on the carpet’s pile but you will increase the muscle tone of your thighs from the exercise. If you have weakness in your thighs, try walking like Groucho Marx. No? Really! Hold on when you first start doing it. If you don’t fall down laughing at yourself, it increases muscle and balance. If you peep in my window, you can see me walking like that around my house. I learned about this in physical therapy. The doctor told me I didn’t need a knee replacement. I needed to restore the muscles above my knees. What a relief! If you have fallen because you didn’t listen to me and still have those scatter rugs, or slipped on a wet floor, call us. If are not hurt, we’ll help you up and we won’t breathe a word
Letters To The Editoris a strong supporter of small to your neighbors. If you Take Russia hit your head we will help you up and suggest you let us take you to the hospital. You never know if a bump on the head is serious, especially if you take blood thinners and some other types of medications. If you have cuts and abrasions, we will bandage you. If you fell because you were dizzy or passed out, the reason for the fall could be more serious than the fall. We’ll ask you a bunch of questions to get an idea of what that might be and we will suggest you let us bring you to the hospital. If you fall frequently because of weakness in your muscles or joints, you may want to consider having someone to help you on a regular basis, like a home health aide. You can find an aide to come around regularly or a live in if that is necessary. It would be up to you. If you live lone, you might want to consider an alert button to wear around your neck or carry your cell phone everywhere. If you have a garage door code (don’t lock the door to the garage) or a front door code (don’t lock the screen door), you can give it to the police. The police and the EMS ambulance will receive it when called to your house. It prevents us from having to break-in, in order to help you. We are the busiest squad in Ocean County, answering as many as 10-14 calls a day, sometimes more. We need more volunteers. There is no free EMS without volunteers. We really do appreciate your financial contributions each year, but if you want to keep us going, consider joining our EMS squad. No experience necessary! You’ll be CPR certified, and get regular training, a uniform and some experience. HCBEMS needs you! Don’t forget to recycle newspapers and magazines, phone books and aluminum cans at the recycling center behind HCBEMS building. Stay well and on your feet! Phyllis Brown Holiday City at Berkeley EMS
Seriously Or Lose Votes So, the House Intelligence Committee just dishonestly shut down the committee’s Russia investigation. Should I be surprised? Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was fired, right after speaking out about Russia. Should I be surprised? Help me understand how these actions are not partisan games. Help me form a conclusion that “party ahead of country” is NOT what members of the House are running on the citizens. It seems that those not running for re-election are speaking the truth, like Rep. Tom Rooney on the House Intelligence Committee. I agree with him on his declaration that the committee has “lost all credibility” on this Russia investigation. It shouldn’t take a retirement to show political courage—it should be the job of every elected official, of both parties. I demand that my elected officials take the Russia investigation seriously and act in our country’s best interest. Personally, I wish I could vote tomorrow. But I will be voting some people out this election cycle. Sean Ryan Toms River
New Budget Act Gives More Than “Crumbs” The word “crumb” is synonymous with minuscule and insignificant. Crumbs are the microscopic food particles that the servers in my restaurant wipe off each table, before seating a new group of customers. They are not meaningful or important, and the staff at my Seaside Park restaurant, The 3 C’s Luncheonette, do not mind crumbs as they are swept from the floor and thrown away. You can imagine my surprise when I heard Nancy Pelosi refer to thousand dollar bonuses and increased wages for workers as “crumbs.” As I talk with staff and patrons, many have expressed optimism about the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-3rd) was a leader in fighting for. Thanks to this new tax cut, I can give my employees a raise and will be able to invest more in new equipment for the restaurant. Congressman Tom MacArthur
businesses and has visited us here plenty of times. I don’t know how Nancy Pelosi and supporters of hers, like Andy Kim, could be so out of touch with the American people, that they would call these tax cuts “crumbs.” The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act means real savings for my small business and more money in the pockets of my employees. If this is what qualifies as “crumbs” to Nancy Pelosi, and Andy Kim, then I suggest that they introduce themselves to the real working middle class of America, who were just delivered real tax relief thanks to Congressman MacArthur.

It’s also a superb occasion to replace animal foods on our menu with healthy, delicious, eco-friendly vegetables, legumes, grains, and fruits. The shift toward healthy eating is everywhere. Fast-food chains like Chipotle, Quiznos, Starbucks, Subway, Taco Bell, and Wendy’s all offer plant-based options. Major publications and popular websites tout vegan recipes. Google CEO Eric Schmidt views replacement of meat by plant protein as the world’s #1 technical trend. The financial investment community is betting on innovative start-ups, like Beyond Meat, or Impossible Foods. Even Tyson Foods new CEO sees plant protein as meat industry’s future. Global Meat News reports that nearly half of consumers are reducing meat intake. Indeed, per capita red meat consumption has dropped by a whopping 25% in the past 40 years. Every one of us can celebrate spring by checking out the rich collection of plant-based dinners and desserts in our supermarket’s frozen food, dairy, and produce sections. An internet search on vegan foods brings rich rewards. Henry Traconi Toms River

Where There’s Smoke, There’s A Controlled Burn
T
By William Clanton hroughout the recent months and now into the early spring, the skies over Ocean County have been lined with grey ominous smoke. The smell of burnt wood and ash could be smelled for miles. While this may concern many local residents, this is a very common procedure carried out by the New Jersey Forest Fire Service. They are performing what is commonly referred to as prescribed, controlled or planned burning. It is a process in which the fire commission applies fire to a predetermined area, under specific environmental conditions. This is done in part to help prevent the formation of a wildfire through controlled conditions, by burning off underbrush. Underbrush are the small shrubs and trees, along with grass and leaves, that form within the undergrowth in a forest. These act as the kindling and “fuel” of the fire. Limiting this “fuel” greatly limits the chance of wildfire spreading. This also greatly reduces the intensity of possible fires and allows for effective fire suppression and protection. Prescribed burns are used commonly on public lands
in order to improve forest health, and reduce larger wildfires, according to the Forest Fire Service. These burns are both effective economically as well as safety wise for local residents. They also allow for forest disease and pest control as well as an overall improvement of land. These burns are carried out all throughout the state and country. Most recently, Cloverdale in Barnegat, Wells Mills in Waretown and sections of Manchester have had these burns carried out. These burns will continue to take place through the end of March. The New Jersey Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) is a division of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection within the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry. The Service is under the direction of the state fire warden and by their staffed headquarters in Trenton. It was originally founded in 1906 with their primary focus being on wildland fire suppression and protection in New Jersey. The Forest Fire Service is currently one of the largest firefighting departments in the state of New Jersey, covering well over 3.15 million acres of
both private and public land statewide. The service is staff by 85 full-time employees and a very large part-time force, providing both protection and wildfire management. “Since 1906, the Forest Fire Service has protected property, lives and infrastructure by creating defensible space and strategic fire breaks near developed areas,” said Greg McLaughlin, Acting Chief of the New Jersey Forest Fire Service. The prescribed burns are performed in order to help prevent the start and spreading of wildfire. They most commonly take place between the months of October and March. These burns make it much easier for later prevention and fire suppression, as they greatly reduce the risk well before the prime of the wildfire season. The season typically begins in the early spring when the fallen leaves, branches and twigs are in abundance. Springtime in our area is commonly dry, windy and warm. With limited new foliage growth and an abundance of dry underbrush and viable fuel, forest fires around this time tend to form and spread much faster. The Pine Barrens and Pinelands region of south-
ern New Jersey is probably one of the most susceptible regions to forest fires due to its regional fire dependent ecosystem. The region is dependent on these wildfires for the releasing of seeds for reproduction. Controlling the buildup of fuel in the region is beneficial to the forests health. Each year the Forest Fire Service responds to well over 1,000 wildfires all throughout New Jersey. A good amount of these fires threaten local home, business and wildlife all throughout the Pine Barrens, coastal marshes and New Jersey mountains. These fires involve hundreds of firefighters, both staffed and volunteer as well as many pieces of equipment. The Forest Fire Service has the state of New Jersey split up in three main divisions. These divisions focus primarily on portions on north, central and south New Jersey. They are labeled as divisions A, B and C. (Ocean County falls under the central New Jersey division, or B division.) These larger divisions are then broken down into smaller more localized divisions. A district forest fire warden is then placed
in charge of one of the divisions and is responsible for recruiting and training fire crews and the issuing of burning permits. There are 269 district forest fire wardens statewide with more than 2,000 trained crewmen under them working on an hourly basis. In 2016, the Forest Fire Service responded to 1,065 wildfires, 75 percent of which were a quarter-acre or smaller. The largest was a 464-acre fire in Bass River State Forest in Burlington County. In 2017, the Forest Fire Service responded to 753 wildfires, 74 percent of which were a quarter acre or smaller. The largest was a 3,477-acre fire in Wharton State Forest, Burlington County. As for 2018, the Forest Fire Service plans to have prescribed burns on approximately 30,000 acres of state-owned property and land. This includes state forests, parks and wildlife management areas, as well as other government lands. They are also planning on providing general assistance to private landowners and nonprofit organizations to help mitigate the wildfire risk. Barnegat Township was
the first township in New Jersey to have a Forest Fire Council as a town municipality. Woodland, Waterford and Manchester are also jumped on board, following the footsteps set out by Barnegat. Bill Brash, the man responsible for birthing this program in New Jersey, came up with the idea for such a council through the inspiration by a very similar concept adopted by the state of California. The Barnegat council adopted a lot of the same ideals and inter-workings similar to the program in California. The general premise behind it is to keep residents well informed and safe during a wildfire. The New Jersey Fire Safe Council helps with aid and the bringing in of grant funding as well as outreach and mitigation alongside the Forest Fire Service.

–Photo cortesy Crestwood Manor Master Quilter and resident Fran Gillesheimer in the new Quilting Arts Center at Crestwood Manor. WHITING – Crestwood Manor recently introduced a new addition to the community: the Quilting Arts Center provides a well-appointed resource center where residents and guests can explore design concepts for quilt crafting. Offering something for everyone who loves quilting and sewing, the new center is outfitted with eight sewing machines, large tabletop work surfaces and comfortable seating. Very spacious, it’s the perfect spot to socialize while quilting, browsing through art and craft books and sharing new skills and traditional tips to create quilts. Crestwood Manor resident and Master Quilter Fran Gillesheimer was the catalyst behind the creation of the Quilting Arts Center and provided guidance on its creation. Gillesheimer began quilting over 25 years ago when she attended a class with her daughter at their local high school. Her love of quilting took off from there. Over the years she has participated in many classes and events featuring her detailed block quilting works including applique designs on her one-
of- a-kind display quilts. She also recreates paintings into fabric quilts. Taking her quilts on the road, she exhibits at trunk shows and has won local, national and international quilting awards. She is also featured in a Baltimore Album Quilt book for her unique quilt designs. The Quilting Arts Center is one of many recent improvements to Crestwood Manor including newly designed apartment models with open floor plans, new club house lobby, café, lounge, restaurant and common areas. “We are very excited to offer classes in the new center to our community members and to local Manchester Township residents,” said Anne M. Hay, Executive Director of Crestwood Manor. “The casual setting is a convenient place to gather inspiring participation and innovation in quilting arts. Beginners are always welcome.” For more information regarding classes in the Crestwood Manor Quilting Arts Center, contact Susan Komas at 866-662-7359.

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Ocean County College is helping students combat the growing trend of “food insecurity” with its Helping Hands food pantry on campus. A grand opening ribbon cutting was held March 14, but the pantry has been open for students since February. “This pantry was created to assist college students as they battle with something very extreme, food insecurity. For many years now, Ocean County College has wanted to have a food pantry for its students in need. Another meal program was established in 2012, Pay It Forward, to help our students. However, we knew the campus needed more. The Tau Iota Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (national honor society) partnered with the Student Life Office to finally make this dream a reality,” said Alison Noone, assistant director of student life at OCC. The food pantry is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays at the Larson Student Center on the main campus. Food insecure students must show their student ID. Surveys across the country have shown a growing trend of “food insecure” students at two- and four-year colleges and universities. OCC is asking the public help their students by making donations of nonperishable food
items and checks. The pantry needs single-serve, individually packaged pull-tab servings. They need: “cheese or peanut butter crackers, beef jerky; instant macaroni and cheese; applesauce, pudding, and fruit cups; cereal, granola, and power bars; Chef-Boy-R-Dee, SpaghettiOs and canned vegetables and fruit; boxed drinks along with fruit and tomato juices; packaged nuts, trail mix, fruit snacks and dried fruits; and chips, pretzels, cookies and Goldfish.” Checks can be made out and mailed to: Ocean County College, with “Helping Hands” in the memo, Office of Student Life, OCC, P.O. Box 2001, Toms River, NJ, 08754. “Tau Iota’s executive board has worked vigorously the past few months fundraising, communicating with local food pantries, stocking food, and much more. Thanks to the support of Student Life, Tau Iota is one step closer to accomplishing our goals: making a difference in the lives of our peers, every day. This project has made an impact on many of the board members as we worked day and night to make this happen. However, receiving emails from students expressing their gratitude makes it all worth it,” Aiza Nageeb, president of the Tau Iota chapter of PTK at OCC, said. For more information, contact Noone at 732255-0400, ext. 2138, or anoone@ocean.edu.

Bartley Resident Celebrates 107th Birthday
By Kimberly Bosco JACKSON – Mary Damiani, a 12-year resident of Bartley Healthcare in Jackson, NJ has just celebrated her 107th birthday. On March 11, 2018, Damiani enjoyed her special day with Bartley and Holisticare Hospice at a wonderful birthday celebration just for her. Born in 1911, Damiani grew up in Passaic, NJ with 8 siblings. Her youngest brother is now 93 years old! She worked her entire life, retiring at 70 years old, starting as a seamstress at the young age of 14. As fate would have it, the co-owners of Bartley Healthcare took over the business that Mary worked for after 45 years. Damiani loves to dance, taking trips, visiting Atlantic City, and the Yankees. She recalls visiting Hawaii and walking on real-life volcanoes as one of her favorite memories. Now, at the impressive age of 107, she has two grandsons and two great grandsons. Her only child, daughter Maryann, visits her everyday where she resides at Bartley and even took part in her birthday bash there. For 32 years, Bartley Healthcare has provided quality individual focused memory care,

Vietnam Monument Installation Set For March 29
By Chris Lundy BARNEGAT – All are welcome to the dedication ceremony of Barnegat’s newest monument, which will honor Vietnam veterans. The dedication ceremony will be held at noon on March 29, which is Vietnam Veterans Day. The monument will be installed at Barnegat’s Gazebo Park at the corner of Route 9 and West Bay Avenue. The monument is a “thank you” to the men and women who served in the armed forces in Vietnam, paid for entirely by a Vietnamese refugee and her husband, Thy and James Cavagnaro. She was a year old when her family fled in 1975.
She said she decided to give back by funding the creation of this monument, and by hosting regular “thank you” dinners for small groups of Vietnam veterans in town. Thy Cavagnaro said she does not solicit or accept donations for this. “We would love for as many people to attend as possible, to show our Vietnam veterans how much they’re supported and appreciated. They are the true VIPs of our event,” she said. There will be many guests in attendance, such as: • The keynote speaker, Jonathan T. Gilliam, has a military background with various groups, and appears as a commentator
on Fox News and other venues. • The national anthem will be sung by Ron Brooks, “an east coast legend, having performed with Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen,” who has sung the song at professional sporting events. He is the first double amputee Eagle Scout, and a representative of George H. W. Bush’s a thousand “Points of Light.” • The bugler, Josh Lathrop, is also an Eagle Scout, and an Army Specialist. • The Exercise Tiger Association will be partners in the event to provide official commemorative pins and other gifts for Vietnam veterans. Their National Executive Director, Susan Haines, is flying in from
Missouri for our event. • Huy Nguyen, the president of the Vietnamese American Community of South Florida, and the architect and sculptor of the Vietnam War Memorial in Orlando, FL. Dr. Hung Nguyen, the president of the NJ Vietnamese American Community Association. After the ceremony, there will be a celebration hosted by the Barnegat American Legion Post No. 232. If you go: When: March 29, noon Where: Gazebo Park in Barnegat, the intersection of Route 9 and West Bay Avenue.

Do I Need A Hearing Aid?
Many of you who read this column can be sitting on top of a fence looking at sheep grazing in the pasture and wondering, “do I really need help with my hearing?” Here are some general guidelines to consider: You may need a hearing aid if: Your hearing frustrates you when conversing with family or friends. Your spouse tells you she or he has to repeat what she or he has said. Your hearing causes you to have arguments with family members. You feel that hearing difficulties hinder your social life. You attend church services or other group activities less often because of your hearing problem. Your hearing creates difficulties when you visit a restaurant with family or friends. You feel that you are impaired by your hearing problem in some manner. You have difficulty hearing the television or radio at a normal volume level. It is difficult for you to hear or understand when someone speaks to you in a whisper. Your next step is to have an evaluation by an otolaryngologist, audiologist or hearing aid dispenser. This will help determine the level and type of your hearing loss. The proper treatment with either medical attention or a hearing aid will be recommended. With today’s modern technology, many hearing losses can be successfully compensated with a hearing aid. It is important that you understand that it is not possible for a hearing aid to completely restore your hearing. What it can do is enhance sound, and thus allow you to hear better. Since hearing loss is gradual, over the years you may have become unaccus-
tomed to normal environmental sounds such as traffic noise, the hum of a refrigerator or air conditioner, natural sounds or background conversation. Therefore, when you begin to wear hearing aids, it is necessary to re-educate your brain to practice selective listening and learn once again to choose only those sounds you wish to hear and ignore the rest. It is important that you wear your hearing aids as much as possible. This is the best way for you to get used to them and the way that they work. This also helps you to become more skilled at recognizing sound direction, learning what hearing aid settings work best in different situations and using visual clues in different hearing environments. Patience is the key. Your friends and family can be very helpful in the whole listening process. Encourage them to speak to you in a normal voice without over annunciating or over emphasizing their lip movements. If for some reason, you continue to find the adjustment to be difficult, your hearing health care professional should be happy to answer any questions that you have and help you solve any of your hearing-related problems. So, if you are sitting on top of the fence looking at sheep grazing in the pasture and wondering whether you have a hearing problem, the odds are - you do. The majority of patients with hearing problems can be fully and most appropriately helped with the use of properly fitted hearing aids. Approximately 80 percent of adult patients with complaints of hearing problems cannot benefit from medical or surgical treatment but can be helped with amplification. Take the next step and call your hearing aid professional for a complete evaluation.
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!

Make Herbal Teas For Your Troubles
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
We’re doing something wrong because, as a nation, we spend twice what other comparable countries spend on health care, but we have the lowest life expectancy. Worse, we have the highest infant mortality rates. Our medical system is expensive, slow, inefficient and at times miserably incompetent. It’s not me saying this, I’m just passing along news from a JAMA study that was just released. Today I’d like to get back to nature. I’m going to share the best teas for various health concerns. Teas are gentle but they contain powerful natural compounds that man has relied on for eons. If you have a medical condition, please make sure your practitioner or local herbalist or acupuncturist weighs in for you. The teas I mention below are sold as commercially prepared teabags or you can learn to make them yourself. If you want help with cancer and immunity. - Many good animal studies prove that EGCG in green tea can slow down the growth of many cancers, including pancreatic cancer. Angiogenesis slows. If you have chronic infections or cancer, talk to your oncologist about taking this because timing is important if you’re on chemo. If you want help remembering. - Gotu kola is for your brain baby! It boosts memory and helps with age-related cognitive decline. I have my own refreshing recipe for Mint Hibiscus Memory Tea. If you’d like to watch my video, I’ll make this ex-
act tea for you. Watch at suzycohen.com/ hibiscus-tea If you want to sleep. - Lavender tea is the best option. It works like prescribed tranquilizers, meaning it activates your natural sleep hormone called GABA. Rose petals can do the same thing! I crawled out of bed one night in my jammies to make Lavender Rose Sleep Tea. Watch my video: suzycohen.com/lavender-rose-tea If you have diabetes or want to lower blood pressure. - Rooibos tea is excellent at cleaning capillaries and there are many of these tiny capillaries that lead to your retina. I think it’s great for both blood pressure and vision. Rooibos, has no caffeine. It contains chrysoeriol which helps reduce blood pressure. You might also consider goldenseal or dandelion, two of Mother Nature’s best diuretics. If you want to relieve nausea. - Ginger tea is easy to make, and it does not have caffeine. It contains numerous biologically active compounds including gingerols which act like medicine in the body. You can grate fresh ginger into some water and simmer it for a few minutes. It’s also a potent anti-inflammatory for joint health. Allergies and Sinus Problems - The herb stinging nettles is a very common natural way to deal with allergies. It’s a natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory herb. It helps with hay fever according to some well-designed trials. You should ask your practitioner about this if you’re interested. It’s a natural diuretic by the way so be careful if you take HCTZ or furosemide.

Messiah In The Passover Demonstration
WHITING – Messiah in the Passover, a vivid and exciting demonstration showing how Jesus fulfilled the ancient feast of Passover, will be held on Thursday, March 29, 2018 at Christ Evangelical Church. The demonstration will be conducted by Dr. Gregg Hagg from Chosen People Ministries. Chosen People Ministries is an over one-hundred-year-old mission that
was founded in 1894 by Leopold Cohn, a Hungarian rabbi who came to believe that Jesus is the Messiah promised in the Hebrew Scriptures. From humble beginnings in Brooklyn, New York, Chosen People Ministries has grown into a worldwide ministry to “the Jew first and to the Gentile.” It will begin with the traditional Passover Seder table – complete with all the articles
of this important Jewish celebration. The speaker will explain the symbolic meanings of the various items of the Passover feast and highlight their relationship to the Last Supper that Messiah celebrated with the disciples, giving special emphasis on the redemptive significance of the crucifixion. Messiah in the Passover gives the Christian community insight into Jewish traditions
so that the Jewish roots of Christianity can be better understood. This program also helps the Jewish and Christian communities understand their common heritage. This meeting is open to the public, and Christ Evangelical Church would like to invite the Christian as well as the Jewish community to attend. The church is located at 300 Schoolhouse Road, Whiting, NJ 08759. For more information please call 732-350-0330. A love offering will be received.

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Ocean County taxpayers will see a slight decrease in their county taxes in 2018. For at least the second year in a row, taxes will decrease: even a half-cent decrease is going in the right direction, Ocean County Freeholder John Bartlett said. While no services saw an expansion, no services were cut. With Winter Storm Quinn raging outside, the Freeholders introduced their $416.1 million budget March 7. A public hearing will be held 4 p.m. April 4 at the county administration building. “This board is following through on our commitment to lower the county property tax rate as we recover from the losses of the great recession and Superstorm Sandy,” Bartlett said. “Last year we decreased the tax rate by 1/10th of a cent and this year we will decrease it by half a cent to 34.7 cents per $100 of equalized value. “This is the direction we would like to follow,” he said in presenting the proposed budget to the board on Feb. 28. “As our ratables rise we will gradually reduce the tax rate.” The budget comes in $6 million under the 2 percent cap (The state requires that budgets do not increase more than this). The overall budget is up $8.1 million.
For more info email: jlcarpet@comcast.net
The amount raised by taxation is up 1.29 percent, to $346.5 million. County property values increased almost three percent, to $99.8 billion. “And while we are seeing those values gradually increase, we are still $9 billion below the 2009 values when the economy took a downturn,” Bartlett said. “Coupling that with Superstorm Sandy three years later, we saw a major loss in the county. That is now beginning to turn around.” Bartlett said the county’s surplus in 2018 is $55.4 million. The proposed budget includes about $22 million from surplus. “In order to maintain our AAA bond rating, it’s imperative we keep a surplus balance that is equal to about 10 percent of the budget,” Bartlett said. “Having the highest bond rating possible helps us tremendously when we need to bond for capital projects. “In addition a strong surplus balance is necessary in times of natural disasters and emergencies as we all saw after Superstorm Sandy,” Bartlett said. “We have to build one year’s budget with an eye toward what it means for the future,” Bartlett said. This year’s budget will use more cash – $25 million – for capital expenditures so the county doesn’t have to bond for items such as trucks or heavy equipment.

Schools Work To Keep Kids Safe During Planned Walkouts
By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE – It is said that everyone grieves differently. And everyone processes tragedy differently, too. Across the country, students organized to walk out on the one month anniversary of the shooting that claimed 17 students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Locally, each school had a different approach to the walkouts. With several people arrested recently for posting threats on social media - even if they weren’t credible threats - school officials spoke about providing ways for students to express themselves without being left vulnerable to the same kind of attack that they were gathering in remembrance of. Michael Dillon, the director of guidance and operations for the Freehold Regional School District, said that they didn’t want students to walk out of class but respected their freedom of expression. It was a security concern, so additional police were on hand. “It’s harder to protect students on a football field rather than inside a brick building,” he said. Still, students weren’t going to be penalized as long as they participated in an event instead of just leaving campus. Instead, students were urged to make their voices heard in ways that won’t affect class, such as writing to lawmakers or contacting survivors of the Parkland attacks. Some are going to visit a local congressman. At Central Regional in Berkeley, the middle school and high school each had events, Superintendent Triantafillos Parlapanides said. He joined the middle school walkout, with about 120 students. “We kept them in a safe area for the 17 minutes. A student read the bio of the 17 people killed,” he said. At the high school, there were about 100 students, he said. Additional officers were sent in to cover security, and he thanked Chief Karin DiMichele and Mayor Carmen Amato for their support. “Chief DiMichele did an amazing job and is a tremendous asset to the school and community,” he said. Jackson schools held a moment of silence. The students also had options of going outside or staying in, said spokesperson Allison Erwin. At the high schools, there were places set aside outside that was away from public view for safety reasons. At the middle schools, the library was the dedicated spot, but some just sat quietly by their lockers. The students’ remembrances mostly took the form of silent reflection, but there were a few high schoolers who wanted to say a few words, she said. Brick Township schools sent out a joint letter from the principals of the high schools stating that, due to safety reasons, the district and the police department decided not to participate in walkouts. Instead, a moment of silence was scheduled. The district also scheduled a Town Hall-styled meeting where students will be able to make comments, and ask questions of school and municipal officials. This will
be filmed and broadcast online. “Our role as educators is to teach our students how to actively engage in civic conversations and the importance of participating respectfully and responsibly in a call to action to voice their concern,” the letter stated. John Fiorentino, principal at Russell O. Brackman Middle School in Barnegat,
wrote a letter to parents addressing the safety of students during the highly publicized national walkouts. “Barnegat administration values student voice and civic engagement, therefore, this is something we need to let them participate in without consequence,” he wrote. Any event outside the building would be considered unsafe and would not be permit-
ted, he said. Instead, a moment of silence and a reading of the names was going to be had. Students were also encouraged to perform 17 random acts of kindness. “Wednesday is a day to “Walk Up – Not Out,” he wrote. “We are encouraging students to walk up; walk up to the kid who sits alone at lunch and invite him to your (Walkouts - See Page 33)

A necessary but intensive task during your journey to purchase your new home will be providing your mortgage representative with all of the financial records and additional information they may require during the home buying process. Equally, during a re-finance of your existing home many of the same financial records will be required. In either case, the process is started with an application and then moves through the underwriting process until the loan is clear to close. This time period may span from 30 days to several months, depending on the complexity of the loan program. There are several tips to remember which will help achieve a smooth closing. First, as an applicant, you never want to open new credit cards, switch credit card balances to new credit cards or make large purchases on existing credit cards. Even the smallest of purchases on a new card may lead to a much larger available line of credit. This is important to remember when you are paying for movers or looking to purchase new appliances and/or furniture for your new home. All of these actions can disrupt your income to debt ratio which can be a major obstacle in getting to that clear to close position. Make sure prior to utilizing any credit that it is discussed with your Attorney and mortgage representative to avoid delays in obtaining clearance to close your loan. Second, in a situation where you are either re-financing your existing home or purchasing a home that requires repairs prior to closing, make sure all home improvements/repairs are completed prior to the home appraisal.

require an appraisal. Therefore, in order to avoid any delays with your closing, make sure you properly plan the timing of your appraisal. Timing of the appraisal should be discussed with your Attorney and mortgage representative to ensure that there are no on-going improvements within the property that would require a re-appraisal, which will delay the process and cost an additional fee. Third, it is important to make sure you are prepared for closing and have enough money saved-up to bring to the closing table. At the time of closing there are lender costs and third party costs, such as payments to insurance companies, surveyors, title companies, home owner associations, tax office, municipal utilities and many more, which must be paid at closing. It is important to communicate with your Attorney and mortgage lender to review all of the closing costs that you will be responsible for at the time of closing.

Toms River Toys R Us Facing Closure
–Photo By Chris Lundy The Toys R Us store in Toms River could potentially close its doors.
By Chris Lundy and Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Coming just weeks after the announcement that the Sears in the Ocean County Mall is closing, news surfaced that the Toys R Us is also shutting its doors. Toys R Us corporate is keeping details to themselves, but Jersey Shore Online learned a closing timeline will be released shortly as the stores will soon launch liquidation sales. No details about the Hooper Avenue store could be confirmed by anyone at corporate. According to a press release from the company, the company filed a motion seeking approval from Bankruptcy Court to “winddown” business and liquidate inventory of all 735 stores in the United States and Puerto Rico. However, that does not necessarily mean that the Toms River store will remain closed for long. The company stated that it is engaged in discussions with “certain interested parties” that would buy up to 200 of its top-performing American stores with a contingent of Canadian stores. It is unclear if the Toms River store is one of the top-performing ones. If it is, then Bankrupt-
cy Court could allow the liquidation of the Toms River store to stop. “I am very disappointed with the result, but we no longer have the financial support to continue the company’s U.S. operations,” said Dave Brandon, chairman and chief executive officer. “We are therefore implementing an orderly process to shutter our U.S. operations and will pursue going concern sales or reorganizations of certain of our international businesses, while our other international businesses consider their options.” Brandon continued, “There are many people and organizations who have remained in our corner every step along the way. I want to thank our extraordinary team members who helped build Toys“R”Us into a global brand. I also want to express my appreciation for my colleagues on our board who have continued to provide support to sustain the brand and our operations throughout the restructuring process. I would also like to thank our vendors who we owe a great deal of gratitude to for their decades of support. This is a profoundly sad day for us as well as the millions of kids and families who we have served for the past 70 years.”

Walkouts:
Continued From Page 27 group; walk up to the kid who sits quietly in the corner of the room and sit next to her, smile and say “Hi;” walk up to someone who has different views than you and get to know them.” Students were encouraged to share their #WalkUpNotOut moments on Twitter, and told that they would be supported as long as they didn’t advocate a political position of any kind. Toms River Regional Schools also grappled with how to handle walkouts in a situation that could potentially put children in harm’s way. They published a press release detailing security guidelines set out by the State Commissioner of Education and the New Jersey School Boards Association. “Conversations between high school staff and students have included making sure any event would not be disruptive or violate district policies. Schools will follow established protocols regarding student attendance and behavior, and students will neither be required to nor denied the opportunity to peacefully participate in any activity established for that period,” the release stated. “Many teachers see this as an opportunity for learning and to promote student voice, an essential part of the school curriculum. School counselors have been especially mindful of student concerns and are “fi rst responders” when it comes to mental health.” A prayer service was held at Donovan Catholic High School in Toms River. It included a student-led prayer, a skit of a father and daughter reunited after the shootings, and an original song. It also included a call to action for gun control legislation and mental health reform, and a reaffi rmation in the power of prayer. The names of the 17 lives lost were read, and a candle was lit for each.

New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign Provides Free Tree Seedlings To Residents In Manchester Township
MANCHESTER – Free tree seedlings will be available to Manchester residents in the month of April as part of the New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign. This program helps communities replace trees damaged or destroyed by Superstorm Sandy. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, April 5 and Friday, April 6 residents will be able to pick up tree seedlings at Town hall (1 Colonial Drive). Seedlings, available on a fi rst come, fi rst served basis, also come with instructions on how to store, care for, and plant them. The guides help residents choose the right place on a property to plant a tree while keeping in mind the tree’s full-grown size in the future. Residents should plant the seedlings within two days after pick-up in order to prevent the roots from drying out. The goal of the Tree Recovery Campaign is to distribute over 500,000 tree seedlings to New Jersey residents over the course of the next five years. It is a joint
effort between Manchester Township, New Jersey State Forest Service, New Jersey Soil Conservation Districts, Sustainable Jersey, Arbor Day Foundation, Brothers International, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Wyndham Vacation Resorts, and FedEx. When properly planted and maintained, trees can be assets to a community. They improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood or business district, increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants, and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits. For a list of all distribution locations across the state, visit forestry.nj.gov or facebook.com/newjerseyforests. If you have any questions, contact Public Works at 732-657-8121.

Sound Healing Seminar With Bartley Healthcare
JACKSON – Sound is a sense that we need, but did you ever think how much more there is to that than just being able to hear? Can sound be used to help in healing and wellness? To explore those questions and more, Bartley Healthcare is partnering with Centrastate Medical Center to host an educational seminar to inform the community on the importance and positive effects of sound healing. The seminar will be held on April 23 at 5 p.m. at Bartley Healthcare Nursing and Rehabilitation at 175 Bartley Road in Jackson. Shelly Botwinick MA, Holistic Health Educator of the Star and Barry Tobias Health Awareness Center, will present information and be available to answer questions and provide guidance. Sound has been utilized in various cultures for thousands of years, using various techniques that all have the same intention: to move us from a place of imbalance to a place of balance. Sound healing is a vibrational energy method in which tonal sound waves harmonize the mind, body, and spirit. A gentle therapeutic vibration is conducted throughout the body to promote healing and wellness. Research has
shown sound balancing reduces stress and anxiety, increases energy, and enhances the immune response while transcending into a higher level of awareness. You will experience a renewed sense of harmony and balance! Seating is limited, so anyone interested in attending the “Sound Healing” educational seminar, please call Centrastate Medical Center at 732-308-0570, or visit centrastate.com, and click on Classes and Events. There will be a light dinner served, so if you are interested in attending, please call, or go online, and register. For 32 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 in memory care, skilled nursing, post-acute care, and assisted living.

MERKEL CELL CARCINOMA
M
erkel cell carcinoma is also called neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. It tends to grow fast and to spread quickly to other parts of your body. SYMPTOMS
The first sign of Merkel cell carcinoma is a fastgrowing, painless red, blue or purple nodule on your skin, most commonly seen on the face, scalp or neck.
WHEN TO SEE A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER
If you notice a mole, freckle or bump that is changing in size, shape or color, growing rapidly, or bleeding easily after minor trauma, such as washing your skin or shaving, make an appointment with your healthcare provider.
RISK FACTORS Factors that may increase risk of Merkel cell carcinoma include:
Beautiful Skin at Any Age Medical Dermatology (Pediatric & Adult): • Abnormal Moles Comprehensive Skin Cancer • Pre-cancer Growths • Skin Cancer Screenings Available - Call Today! • Pimples • Scars • Viral & Fungal Infections • Itchy Flaky Scalp/Face • Eczema • Cracked Lips & Dry Skin • Itching, Sunburns & Blisters • Diaper Rash & Allergic Reactions • Rosacea • Skin Tags • Benign Growths...and and many others! Renata Flaks, DNP 707 Main Street • Toms River 732-244-2666 www.qualityderm.com Open Monday - Friday
QUALITY DERMATOLOGY Accepting Most Insurance Plans Accepting New Patients Same Day Emergency Appointments
• Excessive exposure to sun or tanning beds. • A weakened immune system including those with HIV infection, those taking drugs that suppress the immune response or those with chronic leukemia. • History of other skin cancers such as basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma. • Increasing age. This cancer is most common in people older than age 50, though it can occur at any age. • Light skin color. Merkel cell carcinoma usually arises in people who have light-colored skin.
COMPLICATIONS
Even with treatment, Merkel cell carcinoma commonly spreads (metastasizes) beyond the skin. Merkel cell carcinoma tends to travel first to nearby lymph nodes. Later it may spread to your brain, bones, liver or lungs, where it can interfere with the functioning of these organs. Cancer that has metastasized is more dicult to treat and can be fatal.

Understanding Myofascial Pain
W
By: Stefanie Armstrong, DPT, In-Home Physical Therapist
ithin our bodies is a continuous layer of connective tissue called fascia. Fascia is a three dimensional web of tissue found throughout our body that plays a major role in the following:
local or referred pain, reduced flexibility, tenderness to touch, popping and clicking, limited movement, and muscle weakness without atrophy.
1. Helps maintain structural integrity
The answer to the question above is simply no. If you suffer from myofascial pain, there are noninvasive treatment options available to you, including injections directly into the trigger point, NSAIDs to assist in managing your pain levels, massage therapy to reduce spasms and improve tissue extensibility within the muscles and physical therapy to prescribe an appropriate exercise program. Since myofascial pain has been linked to many types of pain, from stiffness or a deep, aching pain in the muscle to headaches, jaw pain, neck pain, low back pain, pelvic pain, and arm and leg pain, it is imperative that you work closely with your physician to rule out any other possible causes of pain.
2. Supports and protects the surrounding structures 3. Acts as a shock absorber 4. Transmits movement from muscles to bones There are three layers of fascia: superficial fascia, deep fascia and visceral fascia; all of which have different functions and roles within our body. The superficial fascia is found just underneath the skin and is responsible for storing fat and water, acting as a passageway for lymph, nerve and blood vessels. The deeper layer of fascia is the tougher fibrous tissue that is responsible for covering and permeating the muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels. The fascia itself doesn’t have blood vessels; however, it has receptors that detect the presence of pain in the body. The deepest layer is considered the visceral fascia which is responsible for holding organs in their cavities. With overuse or injury, this connective tissue may tighten and contract creating undue pressure on muscles, nerves, bones or organs. This area of injury is often referred to as a trigger point. Myofascial pain syndrome is defined as a localized painful musculoskeletal condition affecting any skeletal muscle in the body, characterized by trigger points. Trigger points by definition are simply a taut band of skeletal muscle that is often felt as a “knot” within the muscle. These taut bands tend to be very sensitive to even light pressure, creating pain not only at the injury site, but also in various other areas of the body (referred pain). It is even common for an individual to experience symptoms that appear totally unrelated to the original injury. Individuals who suffer from myofascial pain may experience poor sleep habits,
DO YOU NEED TO HAVE SURGERY TO TREAT MYOFASCIAL PAIN?
HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP? Physical therapists are trained specialists that work with individuals to recognize the source of pain, identify trigger points and address any contributing factors to myofascial pain such as poor postural awareness, workplace ergonomic and biomechanical imbalances. Physical therapists can utilize a number of different techniques including soft tissue mobilization to improve tissue extensibility, strengthening through therapeutic exercises to restore muscle function, stretching exercises to improve postural awareness, modalities such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation to reduce pain as well as utilize techniques such as myofascial release. WHAT IS MYOFASCIAL RELEASE? Myofascial Release is a technique, utilized by physical and massage therapists, to address connective tissue restrictions within the body created by trauma, poor posture or inflammation. It is a hands-on approach that utilizes gentle, sustained pressure to the restricted area for
a minimum of 2 minutes, which allows the affected tissue to undergo histological length changes. After a series of length-tension changes occur, the affected tissue will become soft and pliable, resulting in restoration in biomechanical alignments, pain reduction and improved mobility. At All-Care physical therapy, we are trained to identify fascial/soft tissue restrictions that may be impeding quality of movement and limiting quality of life. Please feel free to contact one of our offices regarding any questions.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of march 24 - march 30 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Don’t look back. Show that you are the one who can get things done by taking definitive action and giving a maximum effort. Others may be comforted if you assume the role of leader this week. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Take what you can get. You should set aside some extra time to spend with a loved one as schedules may conflict later in the week. Only purchase items that have some lasting value. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Put your best foot forward. The key to getting ahead with a new romantic prospect lies with making a good first impression. Career and business matters may fall into a rut in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Shake things up. Usual hobbies or pastimes may not cut it this week as you long to try something new and adventurous. Throw caution to the wind as hesitation is your only enemy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It is an excellent week to update or upgrade tools which may soon be out-of-date. Don’t let a minor problem get more attention than it’s worth. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ve got all the time in the world. Move at the pace that is most comfortable and you’ll have no trouble fulfilling obligations this week. Keep a cool head even when it seems that the clock is against you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Timing is everything. The stars may be trying to tell you something when someone is always there when needed and has all the right answers. Follow what you feel in your heart this week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Keep your ambitions within reason or you could quickly get overwhelmed by trying to do too much. A loved one may need attention this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Go with the flow. You may not agree with the current consensus, but it is easier to go along with the crowd. It may be to your benefit to keep opinions under your hat this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Play fair. You may gain a short-term edge by using cutthroat tactics, but you’ll lose a lot of respect in the long run. Be content as too much ambition doesn’t suit your needs this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The only thing to fear is fear itself. Overcoming doubts is the only obstacle that stands in the way of achieving goals this week. Set the bar as high as you like, and then rise to meet it. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Change may be in order. Fight off the tendency to put things off and get the ball rolling on new projects and plans. Put the past behind you this week, as your focus should be on the future.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Spring Ahead With Vegetarian Chili By Wolfgang Puck “Spring ahead! Fall back!” That’s the simple memory device we’ve all been taught to remember which way to reset our clocks when daylight saving time begins (on the second Sunday in March) or ends (on the first Sunday in November). The practice aims to give people an extra hour of sunlight after their working days during springtime and summer. I always think of daylight saving time’s arrival as a sign that the bounty of spring, beginning March 20, will soon be filling up the stalls in farmers’ markets. Yet, I’m also aware that we’re technically still in the middle of winter, and bitter cold spells and even snow can still suddenly come in early March - something I’ve been well aware of ever since my two oldest sons chose to pursue their university educations in Massachusetts and upstate New York. So at this time of year, I like to think about preparing dishes that still have the power to warm us up and comfort us if the weather turns chilly, yet still hold hints of the sunnier, warmer, longer days soon to come. And today I’d like to share that exact type of dish in my recipe for vegetarian three-bean and quinoa chili. Any bean stew such as this one is, of course, a perfect choice to cook when the weather is threatening outside. It calls for long, gentle stovetop simmering, which transforms the kitchen into a warming, welcoming place and fills the entire house with rich aromas. The chile peppers that season the stew add their own uniquely warm flavor to the mixture; though I quickly have to add that this recipe isn’t overly spicy, and you can certainly cut back on the chile quantities if you prefer milder results. The beans themselves are a perfect example of the kind of stick-to-your-ribs food that will keep you feeling warm and satisfied for hours. And the quinoa, an ancient Incan grain that has become widely available and popular in recent years, adds more sustenance, being higher in protein and dietary fiber than brown rice. But what about spring flavors? Look first to the fact that this is a vegetarian recipe, so it will very likely taste to you - and rest in your stomach - far lighter than traditional meaty versions of the dish. Lighter, brighter elements of the dish, including a generous amount of fresh lime juice and garnishes such as tomato salsa, sliced avocado, green onion and cilantro, also evoke warmer months. The result is a surprisingly fresh-tasting, healthy chili that is not only a perfect way to welcome spring but also an ideal dish to enjoy as you start thinking of getting into shape for swimsuit season, which is just months away. VEGETAR IA N THR EE -BEA N A ND QUINOA CHILI Serves 8 to 10 1 pound (500 g) dried white beans 1 pound (500 g) dried black beans 1 pound (500 g) pinto beans
3 dried guajillo chiles 1/2 cup (125 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup (250 mL) finely diced yellow onion 2 tablespoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons ground cumin 2 tablespoons pure chile powder 1 cup (250 mL) tomato paste 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) canned crushed tomatoes 3 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more to taste 1 1/2 gallons (5.75 L) vegetable stock 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) quinoa 2 jalapeno chiles, halved, stemmed, seeded and deveined, and minced 1/2 cup (125 mL) fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup 3 ripe Hass avocados, halved, pitted, peeled and sliced, for garnish 1 cup (250 mL) sour cream, for garnish 1 cup (250 mL) chopped green onion, for garnish 1 cup (250 mL) chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish 1 cup (250 mL) prepared tomato salsa, for garnish 3/4 cup (185 mL) thinly sliced fresh jalapeno chiles, or pickled jalapenos, for garnish The night before you cook, pick through each batch of beans, removing any debris or misshapen beans. Rinse the beans put into separate large bowls, and add cold water to cover by at least 2 inches (5 cm). Leave to soak overnight, adding water as needed to keep the beans covered. The next day, put the guajillo chiles in a bowl, add enough hot water to cover, and leave to soak for 20 minutes. Drain. Carefully slit open the guajillos, and remove the seeds. Put the guajillos and a little soaking liquid in a blender, and puree to a paste. Transfer to a bowl, and set aside. Drain the beans, and set aside. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil and onion, and saute, stirring occasionally, until the onion turns translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and saute briefly until fragrant. Stir in the cumin and chile powder. Stir in the tomato paste, and saute, stirring until it darkens slightly, about 30 seconds. Add the drained soaked beans. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, with their juices, the guajillo puree, salt, and enough vegetable stock to submerge the beans completely. Cover the pot securely and cook, adjusting the heat to maintain a simmer, until the beans are cooked through and tender but still firm and whole, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in the quinoa, cover, and cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes, adding more stock if needed. Stir in the minced jalapenos, lime juice and maple syrup. Simmer, uncovered, over low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring often. Taste and, if needed, add a little more salt. Arrange the avocado, sour cream, green onion, cilantro, salsa and sliced fresh or pickled jalapenos in bowls to serve as garnishes. Ladle the chili into individual serving bowls, inviting guests to garnish their servings to taste.
