By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – The number of students attending Manchester schools will be declining, until large developments get completed, according to an enrollment study ordered by the district. The study was performed by Statistical Forecasting, LLC. Richard Grip, the firm’s executive director, presented his findings at a recent Board of Education meeting. One of the reasons for declining enrollment is a declining birth rate for years before the children would start kindergarten, Grip explained.

Local Author Serves Kindness With A Side Of Acai
T
By Jennifer Peacock here are things that just go together: peanut butter and jelly. Salt and pepper. Kindness and acai bowls. Author Bob Salomon thought so too, which is why he’s teaming up with Playa Bowls to spread his message of kindness. Salomon, coauthor of Beyond the Laces, will be visiting three locations this summer to spread his message to children and families on the importance of kindness. They get a bowl, and
get a book. “When Bob approached me regarding his movement to promote kindness, I realized its importance and was all in. As a business owner I have always done (Author - See Page 9)

from the local Veterans of Foreign Wars to the Civil Air Patrol were present to bring awareness of their services. Don Adams, a tour director at the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society, was enjoying talking to wide-eyed children looking at the toy planes and vehicles on their table for sale about their real-life functions in military service. “We are having a nice turnout today. We have a dozen members of our group here and we’ll be here both days,” Adams said. Carl Jablonski, president of the society, added that their organization would be observing the 81st anniversary of the Hindenburg disaster at the memorial site of Lakehurst Navy Base a few days after the actual May 6 anniversary, because of the air show. Mindy Rosewitz, the museum curator of U.S. Army Mobilization Museum of Fort Dix, was manning a table promoting the museum. She said half of the museum’s displays were present at the air show. “We have group tours and schedule visits. Due to most not having military access to the base we arrange the visits,” Rosewitz said. The displays present at the air show included various mannequins wearing uniforms from World War I, World War II and present day including the attire of a civilian in the middle east. Next to the Fort Dix museum booth, US Army Master Sgt. Juan Duque was demonstrating the Miles rifle, a military version of “what children use to play laser tag. We use this for training purposes.” Duque was also demonstrating a laser version of

Air Show:
“This is strictly for World War II history. We have a dozen members here this weekend. Usually we would have more but there is a number of shows taking place back to back and as volunteers we pay our own way for transportation. Most of those here today are from north Jersey. It is important to preserve the past.” The Civil Air Patrol, stationed near the Mid Atlantic Air Museum was focused on the future as they allowed young people and adults to try their hand at flying a plane on
one of their six computers that provided a realistic flight simulation. Lt. Col. Michael Castania serves as director of Aerospace Education for the Civil Air Patrol, which featured close to 20 cadets at the air show. Castania said that the computer simulation was just one of many items including 15 STEM kits, focusing on educating young people in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics as well as various text books. “For a $35 fee these can
become available for use to any agency or organization involved in educating young people.” “The flight simulator program shows you everything on a flight screen that would show you the actual conditions in 40 to 50 different aircraft. It emulates all airfields in New Jersey so you could see what it would be like to fly into a runway on McGuire AFB or Lakewood Airport. You may not be able to feel it but you can see what it is like to fly it,” Castania said.
Enrollment:
distribute enrollment? We need information to make these plans and decisions.” The study also counted how many children each school building can serve. This is about seats, not class size. For example, Whiting Elementary School is near capacity now, and will be in five years. However, the middle school has 30 extra seats now, and is expected to have 130 extra in five years. Development On The Horizon Even though the enrollment is expected to decrease over the next few years, large developments might reverse that trend after
that, the study found. The developments included: 82 units in Autumn Ridge, 404 from Manchester Development Group, 15-20 per year in Pine Lake Park, and 519 in Presidential Gardens. The study used 4,000 homes for the Heritage Minerals tract property. However, as it stands now, there is a settlement for 2,200 homes. The developer has only made an application to increase this to 4,000 homes last year. It still has a long way to go before it is approved, if it ever does get approved. Of the 4,000 units, the study has 1,368 of
them being age restricted. Additionally, the construction was estimated – by the study – to begin in five years, and to conclude in 10 to 20 years. This would put the development well after the years of the study. All of these developments together would yield an estimated 2,065 students. However, 1,660 would be from the larger, 4,000-unit Heritage application, after at least five years. There was also a note stating that some development was left off because the numbers of bedrooms were unclear, or whether they would ever get built.
Continued From Page 4 about military history. He once worked in the very hangar where he was providing information as part of the Mid Atlantic Air Museum. “I once worked here in this hanger. When the Air Force was looking for a wing man to serve as a historian, everyone present that day turned around and looked at me because they knew I was always reading military history books.
Continued From Page 1 The study started in the past, analyzing the historical birth rates and trends and using that info to make projections up to the 2022-2023 school year. It studied how many kids could come from a given residential property. For example, there would be far fewer children in age-restricted senior housing than in other neighborhoods. The study noted that 77 percent of the housing in Manchester is age restricted senior housing. The town’s median age is 65.1. The following figures show the school year and the number of students. The current year is an accurate number. The rest are projections. • 2017-2018: 2,821 • 2018-2019: 2,764 • 2019-2020: 2,717 • 2020-2021: 2,663 • 2021-2022: 2,610 • 2022-2023: 2,550 Broken up between grade levels, the district is expected to lose 131 elementary students, 100 middle school students, and 40 high school students from this year to 2022-2023. Superintendent David Trethaway said in a press release that the district has seen a decrease in enrollment. The current year is down 412 students from a peak of 3,233 in 2008-9. It’s important to know what neighborhoods have growing families in order to better prepare for the future, he said. He gave the example of how one kindergarten class was removed from Ridgeway Elementary, and one was added to Manchester Township Elementary. “We need to look at the impact over the next three, five and ten years so that we can plan for the future,” he said. “Do we need to add on or maybe build a new school? This takes long term planning. Do we need to re-

Continued From Page 1 my best to make a positive difference in our communities. Teaming up with Bob is further demonstration of that commitment,” Ron Ciliento, owner of Playa Bowls in Toms River and Forked River, said. “Kindness is caring about each other. It’s going out of your way for a perfect stranger. Random acts of kindness,” Salomon said. “Helping that child with nothing in return. And our society needs it more than ever right now.” Without giving too much away, “Beyond the Laces” tells the story of a boy and his family going through a difficult time with his illness, but despite those challenges, how kindness can impact people, and how they should never give up. The number 87 and football plays a big role in it. Salomon knew a sports theme would better carry that message to his intended audience. “Sports, I felt, were so crucial for kids’ development. And then when I was in the game, it’s not always so rosy. It’s not always so perfect,” Salomon said. “But I always just thought more kindness, more caring
The Manchester Times, May 12, 2018, Page 9 about kids, needed to be in that whole sports world.” Salomon said he’s more a sports fan than player: he was too slow to ever take it further than the school field. “Sports were made to unite and really teach values and have fun!” Salomon said. “…But that’s a whole different topic. That’s part of my journey of why I felt that sports would be a good platform to make change and help kids.” Salomon knew his passion lay in the message, and his writing and illustration skills ranked up there with his athleticism. Not Caldecott Medal material, he brought on Rick Young as coauthor and Ken Jones as illustrator. Salomon works with men and women who live the message of his book, not those who are simply looking to make a buck. “I’m going to use [the book] to make it about the kids,” Salomon said. “And man, I’ve been on a journey. I’m just humbled.” As with any business, it’s who you know. Salomon knew no one. Businesses weren’t interested as Salomon didn’t have a written business plan. (“I want to help kids. That’s my plan!”) They want to make money. “And it doesn’t mean they weren’t good
people. They just didn’t see what I saw,” Salomon said. So Salomon built his own team, and persisted. He eventually found a publisher, Charles Ambrogio, who donated 1,000 books and marketing material to get him started. (His team is rounded out by James Crosby.) Then he got his foot in the door in the sports world. Once one person endorses the book - whether to hold a copy for a photograph, or read it aloud to children at a function - other supporters will sign on. One close friend of Salomon’s, who also happens to be a former NFL quarterback, is Mark Brunell, who earned his Super Bowl ring in 2009 with the New Orleans Saints against the Indianapolis Colts. Doug Glanville, a former MLB outfielder and New
York Times writer, was another encouraging voice from the beginning. And businesses have finally caught on. For the upcoming events, Playa Bowls will be selling its bowls and a copy of the book. Watchung Spring Water will be handing out waters, for free. Herrs will be providing free potato chips. The BlueClaws are providing raffles. Salomon will be at Playa Bowls, 224 Route 37 East in Toms River, May 19. Other locations and dates are: June 23, Playa Bowls at 214 West End Ave. in Toms River; July 7, Playa Bowls at 44 Manchester Ave. in Forked River; and again at 224 Route 37 East on Aug. 18.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY 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).

Letters To The Editor
To ate conflict. Assessments OK, Letters Getting rid of PARCC is But Not PARCC just the first step to improvIt 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-
ing 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
The Editorbeing poured into our area,
doubt they feel Obamacare 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.

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. – Two libraries in Congressman Chris Smith’s Fourth Congressional District were selected to participate in a national educational project “Revisiting the Founding
Era,” funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). “I am pleased to announce that Monmouth County Library and Middletown Township Public Library will par-
ticipate in this special project to look more closely at the founding of this country,” Rep. Smith stated. “They will be able to lead and focus their communities on subjects of immense value to our national heritage.” The Monmouth County Library in Manalapan and the Middletown Township Public Library in Middletown are two of only 100 libraries across the country to be selected for the program. They will each receive a $1,000 grant from the NEH,
as well as educational materials and historical documents, to promote community discussions about the Founding Era and the ideas and themes of the era, and how those ideas are still relevant today. As a study of the Founding Era, the project will explore a historical timeline of events in the United States beginning with the end of the French and Indian Wars 1763 and ending with the Presidential Election of 1800. The resources available to libraries include 10 copies of
a reader with scholarly essays on historical documents from the Gilder Lehrman Collection, as well as training and support from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History and the American Library Association. “Revisiting the Founding Era” is a three-year national initiative of the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, in partnership with the American Library Association and the National Constitution Center and supported by the NEH.
In May 2017, Rep. Smith supported funding of the National Endowments for the Arts & Humanities, for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 (through September 2017), in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2017 that was signed into law. Rep. Smith, in March of 2017, also joined a letter of support for the NEA and NEH to President Trump asking for full funding of both agencies in the FY 2018 budget. He has also joined a letter of support for funding of the NEH in the FY 2019 budget.
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 in American children. 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 personally touched by autism. These increasing rates only mean we need to redouble our efforts, keep up the pressure, and continue expanding research, screening, and support resources for Americans with autism spectrum disorder,” said Sen. Menendez. “I truly believe that our nation is stronger when we ensure that all our children - 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 rate is now one in 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% from 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 Medical
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 what point ASD rates will plateau,” Zahorodny said. “There are still undefined environmental risks which contribute to this significant increase, factors that could affect a child in its development in utero or related to birth complications or to the newborn 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 participating states: Arizona, 14.0; Arkansas, 13.1; Colorado, 13.9; Georgia, 17.0; Maryland, 20.0; Minnesota, 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. “The staggering new numbers 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 impacting people with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities and we are eager to serve as a resource and provide assistance to individuals with autism and their families however and whenever possible.” Sen. Menendez, a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee that sets national health policy, secured passage of the 2011 Combating Autism Reauthorization Act and introduced the Autism Coordination, Accountability, Research, Education and Support Act, also known as the Autism CARES Act, signed into law in 2014, that authorizes federal programs that support 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 funding for research, 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. The Autism CARES Act, which also includes key provisions of Sen. Menendez’s Assistance in Gaining Experience, Independence and Navigation (AGE-IN) Act to address the needs of youth and young adults as they transition out of schoolbased support to independent adulthood, expires Sept. 30 if Congress fails to reauthorize the landmark legislation.

By Kimberly Bosco WHITING – On April 19, Crestwood Manor held its 28th Annual Volunteer Appreciation Reception to honor residents of the Springpoint Senior Living retirement community for their service. The event was held in the newly renovated Fireside Dining Room at Crestwood Manor. “Through their passion and commitment, our community volunteers recognize the value and dignity of helping others which is reflected in their fundraising events, community outreach and volunteerism efforts,” said Anne M. Hay, Executive Director of Crestwood Manor. “We are very proud of the fact that 166 of our dedicated residents volunteered their time and service to not only our community but local organizations as well last year.”
As part of their service, these Crestwood residents volunteered to serve on the Crestwood Manor’s Resident Association Executive Board as well as on the Finance, Dining, and Health Advisory Committees, and in the gift shop. Volunteers also collected and donated greeting cards, calendars, and note pads for the New Lisbon Developmental Center in Burlington County; can tabs for the Ronald McDonald House in Long Branch for recycling funds to offset expenses; Box Tops for Education for local schools to help them purchase necessary school supplies and equipment; and pre-owned eyeglasses and cell phones for the Lakehurst Manchester Lions Club for distribution to military soldiers.

Remembering Code Enforcer Nicole Ashkar
MANCHESTER – Manchester officials are heartbroken over the loss of friend and colleague, Nicole Ashkar, Chief Code Enforcement Officer and Zoning Officer, who passed away suddenly on April 27. “Anyone who knew Nicole saw a loving mother and wife, a fun-loving friend, dedicated employee and a good and kind soul. There are some instances in life, where words just do not provide any relief and this is one of them,” said Mayor Ken Palmer. Nicole performed her job with pride, and
she strived each day to make Manchester Township a better place to live for residents. We’re sure that if you ever had the pleasure of contacting Nicole and her office for assistance, you’d agree. In her memory, Nicole’s township SUV is parked in the Municipal Complex courtyard, adorned with remembrances. A GoFundMe page has been established to help Nicole’s family during this difficult time. Anyone who would like to contribute may visit gofundme.com/nicoleashkar.
Welcome To Pinkchester
MANCHESTER – For the month of May, we’re proud to announce that Manchester Township will be participating for the first time in #PaintTheTownPink, an initiative by Hackensack Meridian Health to raise awareness of the importance of annual mammography and women’s wellness.

paint our town pink, you’ll see signage and ribbons throughout the Municipal Complex and along Colonial Drive that serve as a reminder that “mammograms matter” for women age 40 and over. Please help us spread the word to your friends and family! Visit PaintTheTownPink.com or call 855-PINK411 for more information. Local businesses and organizations are invited to support this worthwhile cause!

Bring Your Child To Work Day
–Photo courtesy Manchester Township MANCHSTER – In what has become one of our favorite yearly traditions, Bring Your Child to Work Day was a memorable event for our staff, parents and their kids. We had another great turnout this year, as our little helpers were able to shadow their parents, learn about their jobs, and take a tour of the Municipal Building, Police Headquarters, and Municipal Court. While on the tour, the children learned about
fingerprints, saw a SWAT and drone demonstration, operated police vehicle sirens, met Sasha the therapy dog, and spent time speaking with Chief Lisa Parker and Mayor Ken Palmer. Thank you to everyone who helped to make Manchester Township’s 2018 Bring Your Child to Work Day a resounding success! It is truly a collaborative effort among our employees to create an interesting and educational itinerary for these great kids.

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.

Three Shore Grads Headed Toward NFL
–Photo courtesy Monmouth University and Stony Brook University Athletics Communications Departments (Left) Former Brick Memorial standout Mike Basile hopes to become a member of the Indianapolis Colts. (Right) Tyrice Beverette, who starred for the Lakewood Piners, has a shot at landing a berth on an NFL roster. By Chris Christopher Cheers, cheers and more cheers for Ocean County high school football. Three former standouts - that’s right, an amazing three - have earned chances at landing berths on National Football League teams. Cheer loudest for Mike Gesicki, the former Southern Regional and Penn State University standout selected 42nd overall - and 10th in the second round - by the Miami Dolphins as a tight end. Gesicki should have no trouble learning the Dolphins’ blocking scheme. He was an Academic All-Big Ten selection for the second time as a junior. Gesicki will command NFL millions. His agent is Patrick Collins of the Creative Artists Agency out of the Greater Nashville, Tn., area. Cheer also for Mike Basile and Tyrice Beverette. Basile, who starred at Brick Memorial and Monmouth University, wound up with the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent after ravaging offenses as a defensive back with the Hawks. He is on the Colts’ premises as a mini camp invitee. Beverette, who excelled at Lakewood and Stony Brook University, will participate in the New York Jets’ post draft rookie mini camp. He is in camp as an undrafted free agent as a defensive back. The camp will take place the weekend of May 4-7. Basile and Beverette saw their prospects of winding up as NFL players soar Saturday, April 28 when they were called and informed of their destinations by the executives of their prospective new teams. Brick’s Mike Basile “It’s a great opportunity for me,” said Basile, a senior and a business administration major. “I was going into the day not expecting much. You obviously want to get drafted, but everything will work out and I am just grateful for the opportunity. The Colts were one of the teams that showed a
lot of interest in me right from the start. I feel with the safety position I play Indianapolis is one of the better chances for me to go in and make a team.” Basile, one of the Hawks’ captains, worked out in front of 21 NFL scouts from 18 league teams at Monmouth Football’s Pro Day at the Compete Academy in Neptune prior to the 2018 NFL Draft. He was joined by four Monmouth seniors and one ex-Hawk. Scouts from all 32 teams attended the Hawks’ practices and games last fall. They went through traditional NFL Combine metric tests along with positional drills. Basile earned a 5,04 prospect grade and flashed 4.69 speed in the 40-yard dash. “I think I had a good day out there,” Basile said. “I talked to a bunch of teams afterwards and got a lot of positive feedback so I was pretty happy with the way things went.” Basile, a 6-foot-1, 200-pounder, put up some of the best times for his position at a number of speed drills. “The scouts were pretty impressed with the numbers I put up in those three-cone and shuttle,” he said. Not much got past the former Mustang. Basile will graduate as the most decorated player in Monmouth history, earning consensus All-American honors as a junior and senior. He set the Monmouth record for career tackles with 433 last fall and fi nished as a four-time fi rst-team All-Big South Conference selection, setting the conference record for solo stops with 285. The 2017 Big South Co-Defensive Player of the Year was named to the FCS ADA All-America Team earning the distinction of the top defensive back in the FCS. He also became the first Hawk to earn First-Team All-American honors from the Associated Press and the Walter Camp Football Foundation. The safety added 22 passes defended, eight interceptions, seven (NFL - See Page 18)

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

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.

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 “fourday 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.

–Photo by Jennifer Peacock Jack and Emily Mascola are celebrating 75 years of marriage. By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Nothing could stop their love, not even a world war. There was no significance to the date, May 9, 1943 - Mother’s Day that year - except that Jack Mascola was able to go on furlough that weekend to marry Emily. They had met before, but the first blush of romance happened at another wedding. “Jack’s sister married my uncle,” Emily said. “I was bridesmaid at the wedding. This is when it started, then and there.” They were very compatible, Jack added. They were both Italian. They were both Roman Catholic. They were both working class. They met in October and married the following May at Our Lady of the Valley Church in Orange, New Jersey. “We knew each other, we liked each other, and that was it,” Emily said. Jack, 99, and Emily, 97, are celebrating their 75th wedding anniversary this year. “Why are we married 75 years, Jack?” Emily asked. “Well, people say to me, you must be doing something right, but I can’t figure out what I’m doing right,” Jack said. “If you get married, and you stay together, make a commitment, and live long enough, you can be married 75 years. “I don’t know what the secret is. The secret is God. I don’t know why He gives me the long life, but Emily and I are enjoying longer lives than our parents or grandparents ever
dreamed of.” Emily’s father died when she eight years old, leaving her mother a young widow with three children, the youngest 9 months old. Emily was now responsible for caring for her younger siblings while her mother worked as a telephone operator. Jack’s father died before he was born. His father was a casualty of the 1918 flu pandemic that killed 50-100 million people. He died in July 1918 and Jack was born the following January. Jack’s mother died at age 40 when he was six years old, during a tuberculosis outbreak. Jack and his older brother Joseph were sent to live in an orphanage. Joseph was only 11 when he died in the orphanage. Jack was 9. Jack’s sister, nine years his senior, gained custody of him soon after and raised him. They lived with two older brothers, who worked to support the family. Jack was drafted during peacetime in January 1941. He was to serve a year, but then of course, Pearl Harbor happened. He was now in for the duration of the war. He started at Fort Dix but was transferred to Fort Dupont in Delaware, where his math studies shaped his military service. “One morning, we were all lined up, the whole company of 250 men, and they said, ‘Anybody that took algebra and geometry in high school, take one step forward.’ Out of 250 men, 11 people stepped forward. I was (Couple - See Page 33)

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Use Alternate Means Of Travel
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! Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

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.

2018 Memorial Day Parade Comes To Pine Lake Park May 28
MANCHESTER – Manchester Township and the Department of Recreation are proud to announce that the annual Memorial Day Parade has been scheduled for Monday, May 28, 2018, at the Grand Army Memorial in Pine Lake Park. Marchers will begin their journey to the Memorial, located at Wellington Avenue and Oakdale Street, at 10 a.m. from the intersection of Commonwealth Boulevard and Southampton Boulevard. Once the parade reaches the Memorial, guest speakers and Township officials will offer remarks commemorating the day. Parade participants will gather at 9:15 a.m. at Commonwealth Boulevard and Southampton Boulevard. Street parking for the free event is available on roads near the Memorial except for Oakdale. As always, groups are invited to march
in the parade. The Township also welcomes all to place wreaths or f lowers at the Memorial. Any group that would like to place a wreath at the Memorial should call the Department of Recreation at 732-657-8121, ext. 5102 to register. Manchester Township is continuing the tradition of inviting children to adorn their bicycles with patriotic decorations and take part in the parade. Prizes will be awarded for the best decorated bicycles. All children who participate are required to wear a proper bicycle helmet. Each year the parade alternates between the east and west sides of the Township, with last year’s commemoration being held at World War II Memorial Park in Whiting. We hope to see many of Manchester Township’s residents at the Grand Army Memorial Park as we honor those who proudly served our country.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Run The Hook Race & Charity Event
SANDY HOOK – Run the Hook 5K/10K returns to one of the Jersey Shore’s most historic locations for a race to keep our oceans wild and pollution free. The race will take place on Sunday, May 13, 2018 at Sandy Hook National Park and is pleased to announce that the event will be 100 percent free of single-use plastics. With an expected attendance of 1,700 participants, the race challenges runners and walkers of all abilities to complete a 5K or 10K course in support of local charity, Clean Ocean Action, a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to restoring, improving, and protecting the water quality of New Jersey’s oceans. A portion of the proceeds from the race will go directly to the charity to support their work in the local community. The race also has several merchandise items for sale including hats, socks, and reusable water bottles that keep drinks cold for 24 hours so you can go plastic-free and stay hydrated on the go. Registration for the event is sold out in advance for the third year in a row. All runners will receive a t-shirt, 16 oz. finisher’s glass, closed scenic course in Sandy Hook National Park, chip timed results, and access to the after party at Donovan’s Reef with their registration. Runners also have the opportunity to raise additional funds through friends and family using CrowdRise, with 100 percent of these donations going directly to Clean Ocean Action. “It’s humbling to see such an amazing response
to the race year after year. Each year gets better and better and I’m honored to be able to support an organization like Clean Ocean Action. Ocean conservation is something we can all get behind in this community and it’s great to see the result of their hard work directly benefitting the local area,” said race organizer Joey Garofalo of Little Silver. “We encourage everyone to come out and make the event a family outing. You can run with the kids or enjoy the scenic waterfront course with Mom. Either way, celebrate Mother’s Day by supporting Mother Earth!” “As runners compete to perform their best at Run the Hook, Clean Ocean Action races to ensure the ocean is protected from threats such as marine pollution, offshore oil and gas proposals, and poor water quality. With an estimated 8 million tons of plastic entering the ocean annually, plastic pollution stands as one of the greatest threats facing our ocean today. In fact, over 315,589 plastics were removed from New Jersey beaches just last year,” said Tory Woods, Development Director for Clean Ocean Action, “COA is honored to partner with Run the Hook as we work to set the standard in the industry for sustainability and eliminating single-use plastics from race events. Together, we are racing for an ocean that is pollution free!” Registration for Run the Hook will be taking place May 13, 2018 at 10 a.m. in Sandy Hook. For more information on Clean Ocean Action visit cleanoceanaction.org.

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.

Couple:
Continued From Page 23 one of them. ‘They need you on a mine ship at Fort Dupont or Fort Hancock,’” Jack said. “I thought they wanted me for my brains, but they wanted me for my hard work! That mine ship was hard work.” So Jack laid mines in the Atlantic. His outfit included “rum runners,” fast boats confiscated by the government from bootleggers during Prohibition. They dropped depth charges when enemy German U-boats were spotted in the area. Jack sustained a back injury when he failed to properly deploy one of the charges. He was hospitalized for six weeks. Back home, Emily kept busy working for Prudential Insurance Company. She worked there until Jack was discharged from the Army, and they moved to New York. The
The Manchester Times, May 12, 2018, Page 33 family then spent a couple years in California before returning to Orange. Jack had a good government job, which promised good benefits and a good pension to carry them into their golden years. But Jack wanted something else. “He wanted to go into the building business,” Emily said. “That was a big change. We both had to work together. That’s when I got my broker’s license, to join him in that.” “She was always supportive. When I said, ‘I think want to quit my job and go into business,’ she said, ‘Go right ahead. Let’s do it.’ She never stood in the way of what I wanted to do or how I wanted to do it, and she was very supportive,” Jack said. His mother-in-law had other ideas. “She said I was crazy. ‘You’ve got a government job you’re quitting?’ Yeah, I’m quitting, because I don’t just want the bread and butter. I want some caviar and champagne.
My mother-in-law thought I was crazy. And the people I worked with, they thought I was crazy too!” Emily became a real estate broker and eventually secured the land between Sally Ike and Herbertsville roads in Brick that became Mayo Estates, which grew to more than 200 homes. They lived in a home there, then one on River Road in Manasquan, before finally settling in Greenbriar Woodlands in Toms River about 30 years ago. They spent most of the year in New Jersey, and spent some winter months in their condominium in Florida. Jack’s building business flourished. His success allowed for travel for them and their two children, and more travel once they retired. Their home on Crimson Court is filled with photos of their family - two children, six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren - and their travels to Egypt, China, Japan, and
other places. Jack introduced Emily to the opera, and she adopted his interest in the RMS Titanic, where they spent five days on a ship over its wreckage off the coast of Newfoundland. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin was on that cruise. That was back in 1992, where the couple also met three Titanic survivors on that cruise. “We enjoyed travelling. We enjoyed working together. And being congenial to each other. We didn’t fight much,” Emily said. “No marriage is perfect. There’s always problems, but we never blew up the problems where they became real problems. We just go with the flow, you know? We take the good and the bad. We’ve had a lot more good than we’ve had bad,” Jack said. “It’s been a very good life to us because we’ve both enjoyed the same things,” Emily said.
Managing Rheumatoid Arthritis
H
By: Marian Nashed, OT, Hand Therapist
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
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
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. • 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 • Stage IV: Chronic: Severe deformities affecting both hands, with the dominant hand being more severely damaged
• 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.
Joint Protection & Energy Conservation Techniques:
• Stage II: Moderate, subacute: Decreased range of motion (ROM), decreased pain symptoms, and weakening of soft tissues and joints
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.
