Manitou Park Gives Thanks
Beachwood Also Says No To Recreational Marijuana
Community News! Don’t miss what’s happening in your town.
By Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD – The Borough Council sent a message to the governor that the sale of recreational marijuana will not be welcome in the borough. Gov. Phil Murphy had a campaign promise to legalize the recreational sale and use of marijuana. However, a fleshed out plan on what that would look like has not materialized. “We are not in favor of legalizing,” Mayor Ronald Roma said. The Township Council passed a resolution opposing the enactment of legislation that would open up the doors to recreational marijuana being used or sold. “With everything we know about recreational drug use, we would be remiss if we didn’t tell the governor” that they are against it, he said.

–Photos by Chris Lundy Clockwise, The Bayville Elks have a history of helping local organizations, like the one in Manitou Park. The Cobra One organization was thanked for their efforts in always making sure kids have something constructive to do with their time. Members of the Berkeley PBA received a proclamation for their help with Manitou recreation. Sgt. Christian Roth was thanked for his ongoing support of the program. Manitou Park Volunteer Fire Company members were thanked for their help. By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – There is an active youth recreation program in Manitou Park centered around the basketball courts by the old school house. Rob Taylor has been running this program for many years. But he hasn’t been doing it alone. At a recent Township Council meeting, he wanted to honor the organizations that support the town’s program and make it possible. These included: • Manitou Park Volunteer Fire Company
(Marijuana - See Page 5)
• Berkeley Police Benevolent Association • Police Capt. Christian Roth • Cobra One, a motorcycle group that does work with children in the community. The Bayville Elks Club The Elks, in turn, had their own award to give out, the Citizens Award, to Mayor Carmen Amato. “This man is the face of Bayville,” said Ron Schwieters, the Bayville Elks’ outgoing Exalted Ruler.

Ceremony Brings Awareness To Childhood Cancer
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Amherst Beach was one of Emiliana’s favorite spots, and now there will be something there to remember her by. Emiliana Rose O’Brien was just 13 when she lost her brief battle with cancer on Dec. 1, 2015. Throughout her illness, Emiliana never gave up hope, her parents said. Therefore, they started a foundation in her name. Emiliana’s Hope was created to bring awareness to childhood cancers, and to raise money to support the extensive medical treatments that come with it. A bench was dedicated in her memory and in honor of the foundation. Emiliana’a mother, Janet O’Brien, told the crowd about her. Jeff Zito, principal was the Principal at H & M Potter School, and members of the governing body were also in attendance. Other family members and friends spoke before setting off bubbles in her honor. Upcoming events for the organization
include: • 3rd Annual Family Fun Day and concert, May 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Veterans Park will be host to inflatables, sports, arts and crafts, live bands, vendors, a beer garden and more. • A Night Of Laughs comedy night, June 9 at the Bayville Elks. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the show is at 8 p.m. Headliners are Don Jameson, from “That Metal Show,” and Sheba Mason, known as Jackie Mason’s daughter. There will be a 50/50, sports memorabilia, and more. • A Car Wash for Cancer Awareness and Toy Drive for Christmas in July will be on June 30 at the Bayville Recreation Center. This is in partnership with Team Trevor. 3rd Annual Golf Outing: Sept. 14, with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start at Cedar Creek. Afterward, there will be a silent auction and luncheon at Water’s Edge.

Plan Two Ways Out.’ We would be remiss if we didn’t mention a little fire prevention while we’re here today,” Richard Orlando, vice president of OCFPPA and Brick assistant fire marshal, said. “Please, wherever you go, wherever your travels may take you, always know a second way out, not necessarily the way you went in, no matter where you go.” The county meeting room was packed with the winners and their families, in addition to the usual crew that attends freeholder meetings. “Everybody in here and everybody that took part in this year’s contest is already a winner, because you have learned something by teaching something,” Kelly said. “And really, this year’s theme is fantastic.

Garden:
Continued From Page 1 Recently, the Environmental Shade Tree Commission was out on a sunny day, pulling weeds, cleaning, and generally making the property ready for the season. The garden is located on the same property of the municipal building at 1600 Pinewald Road, tucked away in the trees between the road and the water tower. According to commission members, lots cost $25 for the entire season. You don’t have to be a resident of Beachwood to buy a lot. Registration can be done at borough hall. Water and tools are available at the site. Pesticides or chemical fertilizers are not to be used.
Marijuana:
Continued From Page 1 The borough has an active Municipal Alliance against drugs, and works to keep alcohol from kids as well, he said. Legalizing it goes against all that hard work. Recently, township officials led a group into liquor stores to put stickers on the racks informing buyers that if they buy for underaged people, or host parties where underaged people are drinking, that they would be held accountable. Many local towns passed ordinances that would ban any shop from opening in their borders.

And that’s what this contest is about.” Little thanked the families for coming out to support the winners. “These kids are the future, not only of Ocean County and your local towns, but of our nation, and they have a good head start. They’re obviously good students and a lot of that is attributable to the parents and the family that’s there to support them,” Little said. The county had winners in six categories. The winners included: • Division 1, Kindergarten to second grade, Mackenzie Asfalg from Osbornville School in Brick • Division 2, third to fifth grade, Adriana Manochio, H&M Potter School in Berkeley • Division 3, sixth to eighth grade, Abigail Fuchs, Veterans Memorial Middle School in Brick • Division 4, ninth to 12th grade, Madison Salanitro, Central Regional High School in Bayville • Division 6, kindergarten to eighth grade, Eva Rios, Lake Riviera Middle

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Keep The Freeholder Name I’d like to comment on [Jen nifer Peacock’s] excellent story “A Freeholder By Any Other Name…” (in the April 28 edition). I completely ag ree with Freeholder Joh n Bar tlet t’s reaction to t he ef for t t o ch a nge the name of our county gover ning body f rom Freeholder to Commissioner. First, there is no offense in the name itself that I see, and second, and more importantly, the name commissioner is known to the public as an unelected political appointee who sits on a commission whose
very need may be questionable and collects a stipend to get benefits. T h is u n necessa r y effort to change the name t o c o m m i s s i o n e r, i n my opi n ion , elevat es appointed commissioners and diminishes the elected freeholders. As one of the two last Democratic Freeholders in Ocean County, I can say that our three years were civil a nd product ive. I am proud to have been a Fr e ehold e r i n O c e a n County. Paul C. Brush Toms River Former Freeholder

Assessments OK, But Not PARCC It is my understanding that federal law does NOT mandate testing, but rather mandates assessment. In fact, we could design our own assessment system as a pilot. I would hope to assess children and young adults with a portfolio, using the work that they already complete throughout the year to assess progress. In fact, I would be comfortable with children taking perhaps three large standardized tests throughout their career as a student, but I would like reassurance that the tests wouldn’t guide curriculum or be tied to teacher evaluations. It’s one thing to collect data on the educational progress of our kids; it’s quite another to spend precious learning time teaching students how to run a computer, how to work with multiple choice testing questions, and how to pass a test. The real tragedy is that the results of the test guide teacher training, which curriculum materials we buy, and what specifically we are teaching our kids. This results in less class time dedicated to hands-on learning experiences like growing edible schoolyard gardens, creating and using outdoor classrooms, engaging in STEAM lessons, and so much more. Teaching to the test and designing our curriculum based around what will be assessed forces teachers and administrators to take class time away from those exciting lessons that will be eternally etched in children’s minds, and instead dedicate them to improving PARCC test scores. I want our classroom teachers to have the support of their administrators and the autonomy to create lessons that inspire our kids; lessons that are based on the individual interests of the children in their classrooms; lessons that teach kids about things that will never be assessed, like how to cope with big emotions and how to medi-
Letters To doubt The Editor they feel Obamacare being poured into our area, ate conflict. Getting rid of PARCC is just the first step to improving our children’s experience in school. If NJ administrators and commissioners want to make some real changes, they should take a trip to Finland and see how the most successful schools in the world are run. If having the highest test scores is truly our goal, then we need to begin emulating their best practices right here in NJ. A truly inspirational school system model exists. We just have to embrace the change. Jessica Clayton Brick Secretary, Eastern Region Association of Forest and Nature Schools
MacArthur Advocates For Seniors A recent letter, “MacArthur not on his constituents’ side,” authored by special interest group leaders who recently announced they would be spending $1 million in dark money against our Congressman, Tom MacArthur, was absolute nonsense. As a senior citizen who represents thousands of seniors in Berkeley Township I can say this: Tom cares about us and works tirelessly for us. They relentlessly attack our Congressman for working to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, which hurt many seniors. Many of us had to change our doctors and deal with incredible cost increases. It was something Tom campaigned on and I give him credit for following through! Obamacare was not working for us. Aside from the negative impact it had on our economy, there are still over 20 million people without insurance in this country, because they can’t afford it! A lot of those people are over 50, but not yet eligible for Medicare. Up until recently, they had to pay a penalty… for not having insurance. Eighty percent of the people paying the penalty made less than $50,000 per year. I
was working for them. However, thanks to our Congressman, that penalty has been eliminated. I guess the special interest group leaders forgot that many Americans over 50 make a bit too much to qualify for any help from Obamacare, and their costs have repeatedly gone up. I represent many constituents like this who certainly don’t feel like Obamacare has made healthcare more affordable. MacArthur is not the problem. The people who can’t see how many of us got left behind by Obamacare are. On all the big issues, our Congressman is fighting for us. He led the effort to strengthen the Joint Base. He is the co-chair of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, working tirelessly to help those impacted by addiction. His efforts helped bring more law enforcement resources to our area, which led to the largest drug bust in Ocean County history. Tom supported tax reform, which certainly helps seniors because it doubles the standard deduction. That’s a big deal for us. Tom is one of the most bipar tisan members of Congress, who cares deeply about seniors in Ocean County. He is a tireless advocate for protecting Social Security and strengthening Medicare. He shows up to our events and he listens to our concerns. His office has helped return over $10 million to constituents - including many seniors who were having problems with Social Security and the Veterans Administration. I know many seniors depend on Deborah Heart and Lung Center. Tom helped get Deborah millions of dollars per year, which will enable them to continue serving our seniors and vets regardless of their ability to pay. People have been trying to get that done for years and our Congressman did it. Meanwhile, his opponent, Andy Kim, who is benefiting from the dark money
supports a European-style healthcare system that will bankrupt Medicare as we know it. Andy was also President Obama’s adviser on ISIS, which is one of the biggest foreign policy failures seen in my lifetime. Seniors in Ocean County will not respond to the radical politics of Andy Kim and the authors of that shameful editorial. They should clean up their acts and stop slinging mud. Judy Noonan Councilwoman, Berkeley Township
NJ’s War On Seniors Most of us have heard about the War on Poverty, Drugs and Terror now there is another war looming on the horizon, New Jersey’s War on its Seniors. For the second consecutive year the state has shortchanged the Homestead Rebate credit. This year’s benefit is based on the $156 million appropriation that was included in the 2018 budget, a 50 percent cut that was put into effect last year and is now being carried over this year. When fully funded a few years ago, the benefit averaged $515 for seniors and disabled homeowners and is now reduced to approximately $259. About 20% of income for a senior living on a fixed income goes to paying property tax. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that one in three New Jerseyans between the ages of 65 to 75 are in the workforce because many of them cannot afford to stop working. Retirees have already left the state because of the heavy taxation putting an additional burden on our remaining seniors A study reports that New Jersey has one of the highest property taxes and the worst finances of any state in the nation with the only solution to its debt problem is by raising taxes and or cutting benefits to seniors.

National Autism Rates Rising, And Support Is Needed Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez joined Rutgers New Jersey Medical School’s lead researcher to discuss the results of the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study, completed in partnership with Rutgers, on the prevalence of autism i n A me r ica n ch i ld re n. The study found New Jersey’s autism rate is on the rise, with one in every 34 children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and remains the highest in the nation. “These numbers are pretty striking. You’d be hardpressed to find someone in New Jersey who doesn’t know a child, a loved one, a neighbor or classmate p e r son al ly t ouche d by autism. These increasing
rates only mean we need to redouble our efforts, keep up the pressure, and continue expanding resea rch, screen i ng, a nd s u p p o r t r e s o u r c e s fo r Americans with autism spectrum disorder,” said Sen. Menendez. “I truly believe that ou r nation is stronger when we ensu re t h at al l ou r ch i ldren - no matter what zip code they’re born in, how much money their families make, or what kind of developmental disorders they face - have the opportunity to reach their God-given potential.” According to the CDC study, the national autism r a t e i s now o ne i n 59 children, up 15 percent since the last report was issued in 2016. In 2005, it was just one in 166. Of
the 11 states included in the study, New Jersey’s rate is the highest - up 19% f rom one in 41 in 2016. Nearly 3 percent of the state’s childhood population has been diagnosed with ASD, nearly double the national rate of 1.7 percent. Boys in New Jersey are 3.7 times more likely than girls to be diagnosed with ASD. The prevalence of ASD in New Jersey also crosses racial lines: Whites, 30.2 per 1,000; Blacks, 26.8; Hispanics, 29.3; and Asians/Pacific Islanders, 19.2; compared to 17.2, 16.0, 14.0, and 13.5 respectfully nationwide. Walter Zahorodny, an associate professor of pediatrics at Rutgers New Jersey Med ical School who directed the New Jersey portion of the study, called the results “consistent, broad and startling.” He said the analysis shows U.S. autism rates are continuing to rise rather than leveling off as the 2016 CDC report suggested. “It is now clear that what
we saw in 2016 was just a pause along the way. It remains to be seen at wh at p oi nt A SD r at e s will plateau,” Zahorodny said. “There are still undefined environmental risks which contribute to this significant increase, factors that could affect a ch ild i n its develop ment in utero or related to birth complications or to the newbor n period. We need more research into non-genetic triggers for autism.” Zahorodny joined researchers in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin in analyzing information collected from the health and special education records of 325,483 children who were eight years old in 2014. According to the CDC report, the national autism rate is 16.8 per 1,000 children, with rates in the following par ticipating states: Arizona, 14.0; Arkansas, 13.1; Colorado, 13.9; Georgia, 17.0; Maryland, 20.0; Mi n nesot a, 24.0; Missouri, 14.1; New Jersey, 29.3; North Carolina, 17.4; Tennessee, 15.5; Wisconsin, 14.1. While the researchers cannot explain why autism rates are increasing across the country, Zahorodny
notes that children diagnosed early often respond better to treatment, and that the average age of diagnosis - 53 months - has not changed in 15 years. “T he st agger ing new nu mbers on the prevalence of autism indicate that elected officials, the disability community and the state as a whole must work to ensure the proper services are available to this population so that they can live integrated lives and reach their full potential,” said autism community advocate Tom Baffuto, executive director of the ARC of New Jersey. “Children with autism become adults with autism, and as advocates, we must collaborate with lawmakers to ensure supports are in place to assist with the unique challenges they face throughout their lifetime. We applaud Senator Menendez for his vigilance on the issues i mpact i ng people w it h autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities and we are eager to ser ve as a resource and provide assistance to individuals with autism and their families however and whenever possible.” Sen. Menendez, a senior me mb e r of t he Se n at e Finance Committee that sets national health policy,
secu red passage of the 2011 Combating Autism Reauthorization Act and i nt roduced t he Aut ism Coordination, Accountabilit y, Research, Education and Support Act, also known as the Autism CARES Act, signed into law in 2014, that author izes federal prog rams that suppor t the autism community, and fund cutting edge research and the development of new treatments and therapies. The New Jersey Autism Study is funded through Autism CARES. Despite the Trump Administration’s efforts to zero-out Autism CARES f u n d i n g fo r r e s e a r c h , treatment and services to help those with autism, Sen. Menendez was able to secure $49 million in the recently-passed omnibus spending bill, an additional $2 million above previous spending. T he Aut i s m CA R ES Act, which also includes key provisions of Sen. Menendez’s Assistance in Gaining Experience, Independence and Navig a t io n (AGE -I N ) Ac t to address the needs of youth and young adults as they transition out of school-based support to independent adulthood, expires Sept. 30 if Congress fails to reauthorize the landmark legislation.

Spotlight On Business
Finally, An Affordable Way To Live In NJ
Founded in 1963 by Verdon R. Skipper, Pine View Terrace now sits as one of the few family-owned and operated retirement communities in New Jersey. Nestled in the New Jersey Pinelands, the Manufactured Housing Community in Pemberton Township, has been in business for over 55 years. The Skipper’s love of the community and its resident’s has continued from generation to generation. Now owned by daughter, Debra Skipper, her dedication to nurturing individual experiences whether a customer or a resident, is simply remarkable. Expanding f rom keeping the park immaculate to making sure the cost of living remains affordable, Debra sees Pine View Terrace as her pride
and joy. “It’s as much about carrying on a time honored tradition that my father started as having a sincere passion for what I do,” explains Debra. Pine View Terrace has a monthly maintenance fee of $500, which includes water, sewer, taxes, snow removal, trash pick-up, basic cable, heated salt water pool and onsite mail delivery, making it one of the most affordable places to live in New Jersey. “Both my mother and my mother in law lived here, as did my aunt and my mother’s friends, so when the time for me to make a move came, Pine View Terrace, with its nearly 60 wooded acres was at the top of the list,” says Rita, resident of Pine View Terrace.

Tech Roundup: Ways To Maximize Your Hearing
If you’re just beginning your better-hearing journey — or if it’s time to upgrade — you might be surprised at how sophisticated hearing devices have become. They’re basically tiny computers, with just as many high-tech features. Digital Reigns Almost all hearing technology on the market is now digital. Standard features include channels that can be programmed for your individual hearing loss and lifestyle, directional microphones to enhance speech in noisy backgrounds, noise reduction, feedback control, and the ability to wirelessly connect to FM and PA systems. But that’s just the beginning: Read on for some advanced options. Data Capturing Today’s tech can store information about your listening environments and preferences, so your hearing care provider can access that data at follow-up appointments to further customize your settings. Binaural Processing This means both devices communicate with each other. The devices can work in tandem, more closely mimic how we naturally take in data from both ears simultaneously, and stream sound signals from one device to another — which means you can choose to hear the person on the phone in both ears at once! Connectivity Advanced hearing technology can communicate wirelessly with devices such as TVs and tablets. Currently there are no truly wireless hearing aids — a hearing
aid battery simply can’t generate enough power to comply with wireless standards — but devices called streamers can translate the signal into something hearing aids can use. A streamer placed in your living room, for example, streams and sends the sound from your wireless-enabled TV directly into your hearing aids, so loved ones watching with you can choose a volume comfortable for them, while you control the volume for your hearing aids. Made for Smartphones Whether directly (Apple) or via a clip-on streamer (Android), today’s smartphones can stream sound to your hearing aids. Call a loved one, listen to your favorite music, or binge that popular new show without worrying about whether you have headphones or earbuds handy. Plus, with the smartphone app, you can save your hearing aid settings at your favorite spots, and the app will switch to those settings automatically each time you’re there. Interested in the latest in hearing tech? Contact us today to schedule a complimentary technology demonstration! Call 732-818-3610. Do I Need an Upgrade? It’s a tricky issue, but here are some signs: • Your devices need repairs regularly • Replacement parts are expensive or scarce • Your hearing has changed • Your lifestyle has changed • Technology has improved
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.
Three Easy Tests To See How Tired You Are By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Do you feel tired and drained of energy all the time? Maybe you’ve been trying to correct your thyroid hormone without luck. If you’re adrenals are weak, you’ll have thyroid disease, as in hypothyroidism. Think about the past year or two. Have you been under pressure or a lot of stress? If work, school or relationships are causing you to suffer with constant deadlines, pressure or anguish (even mental anguish) then it’s possible that your exhaustion is from adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue is the type of fatigue that occurs when your “fight or flight glands” produce too much cortisol and aldosterone (think of the alarming stage), and then after a while, too little cortisol because they’re completely worn out. The antidote to adrenal fatigue is easier said than done, although a mental or physical vacation from the stress might help. One overlooked reason for low libido is the pregnenolone steal. How do you know for sure if this is what you’re dealing with? There are three home tests you can do to see if you have adrenal fatigue. I know of a fourth as well, in my extended version of this column. If you want to read that, please sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll email it to you next week. The Pupil Test Go into a dark room and shine a little flashlight towards your eyes. Your pupils respond to light and dark, and upon the light shining into your eyes, they should constrict (get smaller) immediately. The constriction happens within seconds if you’re healthy, but if your pupils stay dilat-
ed for 10 to 20 seconds before constricting, or they never constrict, then you probably have adrenal fatigue. Thermoregulation Adrenal fatigue will absolutely compromise the feedback loop that controls your body’s temperature. You might feel cold, then feel suddenly hot. Your temperature may vary by two degrees from day to day. If you take your temperature three times in one day, and three more times the next day, then take the average for each day, it should not differ by more than a couple of degrees from day to day. If it does, your adrenals are taxed, and temperature stability is more difficult to achieve. This might explain the hot/cold problem you have. Dehydration Do you crave salty foods like potato chips? It’s possible that this is due to adrenal fatigue and the resulting fluctuations in aldosterone hormone. Your body can’t utilize fluid effectively, or properly regulate sodium and potassium levels which causes mild dehydration, even though you could be drinking plenty of water. This is very common for people who have chronic fatigue, or who have been seriously ill for a long time. Blood Pressure Response You’ll be taking your blood pressure twice for this test. Make sure you’ve drank enough water the day you test. Lie down in bed and rest for five minutes then take your blood pressure. Then get up and take your blood pressure immediately (while standing up). The top number (systolic) should go up by about 8 to 10 points. If it doesn’t, it’s a clue that your adrenals are overworked.

Dear Joel, I have finally reached a time in my life where I can enjoy the fruits of my labor. Both my wife and I are now reaching 70 and I have reached an age where I can start traveling. Traveling is a luxury that I deprived myself of until I felt comfortable spending the money. Here is my problem. Now that we have some extra dollars and free time, my wife will not join me in my dreams. She has been afraid of flying since we’ve met and refuses to give it a try. I assure her that it is the safest means of travel but to no avail. I want to start seeing the world. Answer: There is much in your letter to analyze. I will start with “She has been afraid of flying since I met her.” You knew that this may have been a problem between the two of you but chose to marry her anyway. She obviously has other qualities that are appealing to you. There are courses, hypnosis and other methods of getting rid of such fears. Alan, I have no statistics but you can be certain that it works for many but not for others. There is so much to see in our beautiful
cou nt r y. You can go on a bus or train. There are organized tours that do a wonderful job of both. Additionally, cruising, although once travel for the rich and famous only, has for decades been the best value of all in travel. There are many cruise lines that now leave from New Jersey, New York, Boston, Maryland and other nearby places. Alan, you can actually go around the world without getting on a plane. Lastly, there are no rules that say that if you want to see India, Israel or Italy, that you can’t travel without your wife. This feeling of it being her fault of your deprivation is simply not true. Once again, there are organized tours both for seniors and the general population. Respectfully, stop make excuses and start packing. It isn’t your wife who is holding you back!

Inside The Law Workers’ Compensation Basics
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea of R.C. Shea & Associates
In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specifically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act. Primarily, should your injury require medical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for reasonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau. In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered. In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven (7) days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insurance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to seventy percent (70%) of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sustained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner. Should permanent effects of your injury remain after achieving a medical plateau, you may be entitled to benefits to compensate for those permanent effects. This is based on a statutory value determined according to the part
of your body which was injured and the permanent residuals Michael J. Deem of your treatment and injur y. This process progresses after your physician has returned you t o gai n f u l e mployment. In the event that you are deemed medically unable to return to work, you may be entitled to total disability benefits. The questions often arises, “What happens if I am injured during the course of my duties as a volunteer for a municipality?” It has been determined that volunteer firefighters, first aid or rescue squad workers, ambulance drivers, forest fire wardens or firefighters, board of education members and auxiliary or special reserve police officers are provided for within the Workers’ Compensation Act in New Jersey. Although, as a volunteer as listed above one would not have been compensated for the acts performed within the scope of that position, if injured while performing those duties, and medically unable to work, you would be entitled to compensation at the maximum rate for the year of that injury. Furthermore, the injured volunteer is entitled to reasonable and necessary medical treatment as if an employee. In the event that the volunteer suffers permanent residuals from the injury in question, the volunteer would also have the right to seek payment for those residuals, the same as if a paid employee.

Film Fest Kicks Off With Cinco De Mayo Fiesta
By Kimberly Bosco LOVELADIES – The Lighthouse International Film Festival (LIFF) kicked off their 2018 and 10th anniversary season with a Cinco de Mayo fiesta at the LBI Foundation of Arts and Sciences. This event was a fundraiser for the festival and an exciting preview of what’s to come during the “four-day cinematic experience,” as Managing Director of the LIFF Christine Rooney calls it. The festival will be held from June 7-10 on Long Beach Island. What is the Lighthouse International Film Festival? Well, according to Rooney, the non-profit LIFF puts on films, film festivals, special events, parties, and panel discussions, among other events at affordable prices for not only film enthusiasts, but for everyone, to showcase the artistic community and bring people to the island. “The LIFF is committed to bringing artists, to bringing all kinds of people here [LBI] so that they can experience our arts community and they can experience our beautiful island,” said Rooney. She explained that the LBI Foundation of the Arts and Sciences is also both host and partner
to the LIFF. “They donated the space to us [for the evening]…they support independent films, they support our mission,” she added. Rooney emphasized that the LIFF is a very important factor in bringing more people to Long Beach Island. “Our little slogan is ‘More Than a Day at the Beach,’” said Rooney. This is part of the organization’s effort to bring people to the island pre-season, to share with others what the island has to offer during the off-season months. While the festival itself doesn’t begin until June, the kick-off party was meant to raise money to support independent film and to let people know what to expect, she added. The Cinco de Mayo Fiesta brought in dozens of interested people for some mingling with the LIFF members, scintillating previews of what the festival has in store for June, an auction showcasing prizes from dozens of local businesses, and festive tacos and drinks for the occasion. Following the auction, attendees got a special preview at what’s to come in this year’s film festival with a short highlight reel of some of
the new films and features. Chip Parham, Senior Programmer for the LIFF, helps to choose which short films will be featured during the festival. First thing that goes into the decision process is whether or not “it’s a good story,” he said. Chip remarked that he probably watched about 100 films in preparation for the festival. “This year, for the first time, we’re doing episodic films,” he added. Attendees at this year’s festival are going to get a first look at episodic films, which are comparable to a web series. Eric Johnson, Executive Director for the LIFF, said submissions for the international festival open up during the fall and extend through March. He noted that the members begin watching the film submissions immediately once they start coming in and, following the deadline, it takes about another six weeks to wrap everything up. It’s a combination of individual backgrounds and a love for film that enables the LIFF members to pick and choose the films to be shown during the festival, he said. “We do try to have a representation,” of all different kinds of films, said Johnson. “We try
to pick the most exciting films.” “This year we’re really excited because we’re bringing back virtual reality again,” said Rooney. “We’ll have award winning films, shorts, documentaries, virtual reality, we do panels, and we also do breakfast with the filmmakers.” If you are a big-time film fan or have some extra time to spend on the beach this summer, come out for the Lighthouse International Film Festival. Johnson remarked that the program this year has anywhere from 80-90 films to be shown over the course of four days. You have two options in choosing to attend the festival. You can either get an All Access Pass; this gets you into everything that the LIFF has to offer, according to Rooney, including special parties, all of the screenings, and even a breakfast with film makers. Or you can buy tickets for screenings online at lighthousefilmfestival.org or at the door. “We really recommend online because we fill up,” said Rooney. To see the full schedule of films for the festival, June 7-10, visit liff.festivalgenius. com/2017/schedule/week.
Seaside: No Dogs On Boardwalk After All
By Chris Lundy SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Allowing dogs on the boardwalk year-round seemed like a good way to support the borough’s family-friendly nature, except that dog owners and families were against the idea. In 2017, the Borough Council instituted a change that allowed dogs on the boardwalk through the winter months, Mayor Anthony Vaz said. Specifically, this was described as between Oct. 15 and the weekend prior to Palm Sunday. “That worked out fine. There were no problems,” he said. So, there was a move to expand it. Why not have dogs on the boardwalk year-round? What better way to invite families than to include the family pets? In order for the change to take place, the council would have to introduce it during one
meeting, and then approve it during another one. After it was introduced, the public found out about it from online news articles and word spread. The resistance to this was so strong that Vaz asked the council members to let the motion die at the next meeting. “I’ve received over 100 communications giving me reasons not to do it,” he said. The most important thing about this was that so many of them were dog owners. One of the biggest arguments is that dogs can bite toddlers, which really ends the family-friendly atmosphere, he said. Someone also told him “I won’t go to a restaurant if dogs are allowed.” There are good dogs, and there are good dog owners. There are also bad dogs and bad dog owners. “Have I seen dogs on the boardwalk behaving
themselves? Yes,” he said. “The negatives are outweighing the pros,” he said. Legally, if a dog bites someone, it is the dog owner’s responsibility, the borough attorney informed the governing body. However, in this day and age, anyone could sue anyone, so Vaz said he expected that the borough would be dragged into court as well. First, the public had an outcry that there were going to be dogs on the boardwalk. Now that the public knows there won’t be dogs there, there has not been any outcry in defense of keeping the dogs on the boards, he said. Instead, people have reached out to tell him they are doing the right thing. Some people have suggested a middle ground: allow the dogs in the morning, before the boardwalk gets crowded. This presents a different problem, Vaz said. A dog owner could see a
dogwalker on the boards in the morning and decide to do it later. It would be difficult to keep someone from doing it later in the day, when people are allowed in the morning. It is better to be consistent, he said. For example, he contacted Seaside Heights’ neighbors, and dogs aren’t allowed on any of their boardwalks, either. “We’re too crowded in the summer,” he said. Dog Days However, there are still opportunities to have your dog on the boardwalk. The winter rules are still in effect, allowing you to take the dogs throughout the colder months. Additionally, there is a day in July and another in August where there are dog-related vendors set up on the boardwalk. During those two days, dogs are allowed.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Unsung Hero Awards Recognize Ocean County Students
By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – They’re not the star athletes or academics, but their stories of overcoming adversity have caught the attention of school administrators. These students from across Ocean County were awarded the 2018 Ocean County Prosecutor/Ocean County Association of School Administrators “Unsung Hero” Student Recognition Awards. Schools were asked to submit one name of a student in their highest grade level who have overcome adversity and shown improvement. County prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato and Ocean County School Administrators president Loren B. Fuhring announced the winners. The awards ceremony was held at Frog Pond Elementary School in Little Egg Harbor. The students received their certificate in “You Make A Difference” folders, along with a commemorative DVD. “This is a good day – this is your day – a day you will always remember. An award represents recognition for something very special that you and you alone were able to accomplish. We should never underestimate the importance of recognizing someone even for the smallest achievement or accomplishment,” Coronato said at the ceremony. “Always remember, life is what you make it – and as the recipients of these awards, you have already shown us that whatever you put your mind to you can accomplish. It is not always the monumental accomplishments that make people notice us, sometimes it is the tiny little things that make you shine and be recognized.” The recipients are: Alexis Mackiewicz, Tuckerton Elementary School; Seth Edwards, Toms River High School South; Leslie Yupa, Toms
River High School North; Samantha Convery, Toms River High School East; Madelyn Beirne, Stafford Intermediate School; Danielle Shepherd, Point Pleasant Borough High School; Hunter Clark, Point Pleasant Beach High School; Jillian Williams, Pinelands Regional High School; Andres J.

Managing Rheumatoid Arthritis By: Marian Nashed, OT, Hand Therapist
H
ave you ever noticed the joints in both of your hands to be swollen and painful? Do your joints remain painful and stiff for a long period of time, well into the morning? Has your ability to open jars, cut food, and turn doorknobs become more challenging? You may be one of the 1.3 million Americans suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic, chronic, autoimmune disorder that can cause joint deformities. It can also decrease your ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL’s), cause muscle spasm and shortening, increase ligament laxity, and destroy bone and cartilage. In some cases, the synovial lining of tendons and tissues of internal organs may also be affected. Research suggests that hand involvement is an early clinical sign of RA, with joint swelling occurring at the small knuckles or your proximal interphalangeal joints (PIP’s) and your larger knuckles or metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP’s), and wrists. Signs and Symptoms of RA vary as the disease progresses, and symptoms may go into remission or exacerbate. • Stage I: Early, Acute, Inflammatory: Increased pain, joint swelling and warmth in the knuckles and wrists of both hands • Stage II: Moderate, subacute: Decreased range of motion (ROM), decreased pain symptoms, and weakening of soft tissues and joints
Treatment Options: In accordance with seeing a Rheumatologist to manage RA symptoms. Occupational therapy and physical therapy can help: • Decrease pain in joints • Maintain or increase range of motion & strength • Provide education on adaptive equipment and compensatory techniques to resume ADL performance
• Stage IV: Chronic: Severe deformities affecting both hands, with the dominant hand being more severely damaged
o Resting hand splints: Allow your fingers and wrists to remain in good alignment, and decrease your pain. o Silver ring splints: Allows freedom to perform activities during the day, while keeping the fingers positioned in proper alignment. The Hand Therapists at All-Care Physical Therapy Center, LLC, are equipped with the knowledge and measuring kit required to evaluate the most appropriate splint to improve function. Joint Protection & Energy Conservation Techniques:
• Using a pizza cutter or rocker knife to cut up food instead of a traditional knife to decrease stress to the joints • Adding built up, large cushioned handles, for commonly used items like kitchen utensils, gardening tools, and pens. • Using spring loaded scissors that are readily available to open up packages, instead of fingers to pinch. • Avoid using squeeze bottles or tubes, to decrease stress on the joints. A better alternative would be pump bottles for shampoo, toothpaste, lotions, and soaps. • Use lightweight cookware, to avoid excessive load to the joints. • Use both arms to carry objects, close to the body, and avoid using hand to lift heavy groceries and handbags.
Rheumatoid Arthritis can have a significant impact on the use of both your hands making your ADL’s more challenging. Recognizing and addressing RA in its early stages will provide the best prognosis for this chronic disorder. At AllCare Physical Therapy, our hand therapists specialize in the treatment of RA and other hand disorders. Contact your physician if you are experiencing these symptoms and ask if an Occupational Therapist at All-Care can help. OT hand therapy is currently practiced in our Toms River (732-569-6556) or Whiting (732-849-0700) locations.
MAY IS NATIONAL ARTHRITIS AWARENESS MONTH!
• Fabricate resting hand splints to prevent further joint deformity & recommend daytime splinting options.
• Replacing doorknobs and faucets with levers to decrease the amount of strain on the joints.
• Stage III: Severe, chronic active, destructive: Decreased ROM, increased soft tissue involvement, and increased joint deformities
Causes and Risk Factors: The exact cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown, but those with a family history of rheumatoid arthritis, are more likely to be diagnosed with RA, due to the genes
affecting the immune system making people more prone. Both genders may be affected, but women have a greater than 75% chance of getting RA, with onset between 20-50 years of age.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of may 12 - may 18
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is extra vitality and enthusiasm on tap in the week to come, so use it well. Sidestep petty spats and focus on being cooperative and agreeable. You may be tempted to go overboard by spending way too much. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Everything has a price but not everything you can buy is worth the price. In the week ahead, you might be wise to wait until you can get the very best for your money. Steer clear of disputes, disagreements and misunderstandings. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may learn what “passive aggressive” really means in the week ahead. Give someone the benefit of the doubt and remain tolerant. Doubts will disappear, and a tense situation will relax, after the middle of the week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Achieve balance and serenity this week. You may think it is exciting, but a digital addiction can prevent you from enjoying the natural world. Avoid binge watching TV shows or constantly checking a smartphone. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Mindfulness can put you out of your misery. Take some time out in the week ahead to stop to smell the roses, watch the sun rise or listen to the birds. Gain confidence as you realize that you have the right to enjoy the very best. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Wait until midweek to make purchases that require good taste. Even then you may be a bit extravagant or careless.
Rely upon a significant other to give you sound feedback or good advice about key expenditures. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A preoccupation with computer games or social media can distract you from more important matters. As this week unfolds you may need every ounce of diplomacy to deal with overly sensitive people and situations. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the week ahead, you may have an opportunity to successfully launch a meaningful project or plan. Scrutinize the terms of any contract or agreement that you consider in the early part of the week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your confusion will evaporate in a few more days. In the meantime, use good judgment to deal with family, loved ones and complicated situations. Gain lasting peace by ignoring minor dustups. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your friendly gestures and well-meaning comments could be misunderstood. Workplace misunderstandings in the earliest part of the week can be conquered if you focus on being cooperative and generous. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Start projects in the week ahead that require caring for the environment or aim at long term profits. You can be very intuitive and farseeing when dealing with intricate financial matters. Avoid impulse purchases. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make peace a priority. To gain approval from others blend reliability with practicality and avoid vagueness. During the week to come you can visualize what others want and organize your time to provide it.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Toss Up: Revamp One Of My Classic Main-Dish Salads For An Even Healthier Meal By Wolfgang Puck
“I think I’d like a salad for lunch.” That’s something I’ve heard from so many guests in my restaurants ever since I started cooking in Los Angeles back in the mid-1970s. The request reflected the belief that if you sat down to a big plate or bowl filled mostly with fresh greens, you were eating healthfully. Of course, today most of us know it’s not that simple. Add an oil-rich or creamy dressing to that salad, as lots of people do, along with meats and cheeses and lots of crunchy croutons and nuts, and you wind up taking in as many calories and as much fat and carbohydrates as you might if you sat down to a heaping serving of meat and potatoes. As my own knowledge of nutrition and healthy eating has grown over the years, I’ve begun to rethink my approach to certain dishes, including those considered some of my classics. And that includes a recipe I first developed back in 1983 when I opened Chinois in Santa Monica, Calif. It played an instrumental role in defining what came to be known as the Asian fusion movement, combining classic preparations from China and other Asian kitchens with the lighter, fresher approach of California cuisine. Among the first of the many dishes that gained the restaurant a devoted following that continues today in its 25th anniversary year is its Chinois chicken salad, my version of the popular Chinese chicken salad. It was always a fairly light dish, featuring a medley of fresh vegetables and skinless roast chicken meat. But the dressing was and still is fairly rich with sesame oil and peanut oil, along with an egg yolk that emulsified the mixture to a rich, creamy consistency. So in recent years, when I make the salad for myself, I’ve been lightening it up a bit. I eliminate the egg yolk, including instead some honey that combines with Chinese mustard powder to help give the dressing plenty of creamy body and a lively sweet-hot taste that makes a big impact on every bite. I’ve also added more vegetables to the salad mixture, increasing the amount of snow peas and adding shredded raw carrot for its beautiful color and crunch. (You should also feel free to include or swap out other fresh, raw vegetables you like, such as strips of bell pepper or matchsticks of jicama.) The result is a version of my Chinois chicken salad in which just a little more than 30 percent of the calories come from fat. It’s well within most guidelines for healthy eating, with all the bright, appealing flavor, texture and color of the original. I hope you’ll enjoy it all for lunch, or dinner, all through springtime and well into summer and beyond.
LIGHT CHINOIS CHICKEN SALAD WITH CHINESE MUSTARD-HONEY VINAIGRETTE M a ke s 4 m a i n - c o u r s e s e r v i n g s , 8 appetizer servings For the Chinese mustard vinaigrette: 1/4 cup (60 mL) rice vinegar 2 tablespoons honey 2 teaspoons toasted Asian-style sesame oil 2 teaspoons dry Chinese mustard or English mustard, such as Colman’s 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons peanut oil For the chinois chicken salad: 4 cups (1 L) shredded cooked skinless chicken breast meat (from a leftover or store-bought roast or rotisserie chicken, or another leftover recipe) 4 cups (1 L) shredded napa cabbage 2 cups (500 mL) shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce 1 cup (250 mL) julienned raw snow peas 1 cup (250 mL) shredded raw carrot 1/4 cup (60 mL) thinly sliced pickled sushi ginger, drained and cut into thin julienne strips For the garnish: 1 tablespoon white or black sesame seeds 1 scallion, trimmed and cut diagonally into thin slices First prepare the vinaigrette: In a blender or a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade, combine the rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, dry mustard, soy sauce and a little salt and pepper. Blend or process until smooth. With the machine running, drizzle in the peanut oil to form a thick, smooth dressing. If necessary, adjust the seasonings with more salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. For the chicken salad, in a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, cabbage, lettuce, snow peas, carrot and ginger. Toss with enough of the vinaigrette to coat all the ingredients well. For the garnishes, if you’re using white sesame seeds, put them in a dry pan and toast them over low heat, stirring continuously, until golden, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl to cool briefly. Mound the salad mixture on chilled serving plates. Garnish with the scallions and the toasted white sesame seeds or the black sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
