By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – While you may know where you can find an animal for adoption near you, you may not be aware of how many choices you really have. Volunteers at local shelters and rescues confirm that what you see may not be what you get, in terms of numbers. When it comes down to it, state statistics on the number of adoptable animals leave a lot to be desired. Local animal shelters and organizations are taking part in a nationwide initiative to provide accurate data on rescue animals. As Friends of the Souther n Ocean County Animal Shelter (FOSOCAS) explains it, the way –Photo by Kimberly Bosco the state of New Jersey defi nes The animal shelter houses animals of all shapes and sizes, ready and “rescues” leaves them out of the waiting for a loving home.

County Sets Record Election Results
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – More than half of registered voters in Ocean County went to the polls on Nov. 6, the most in any midterm election, officials said. County Clerk Scott Colabella said it was a historic election in terms of turnout. “I have never seen this kind of volume in a midterm election,” he said. “It was like a presidential election.” To put it in perspective, there were 381,491 registered voters for the 2014 midterms, he said. Of these, 37.92 percent turned out. In 2018, there were 408,860 registered voters. Of these, 225,392 - or 55.13 percent - voted. This doesn’t even
include the provisional ballots, which were still being counted when this article was being published. Colabella suggested that the reason for the increase is a populace that is more aware of national headlines. Whether they were for or against what’s happening in the country right now, they went to the polls to voice their opinions. The county had advanced notice that it was going to be one for the record books, he said. In 2014, they issued 12,000 mail-in ballots. In 2018, they sent out 40,000, and 31,033 came back. That gave the county the heads up to put out more staff and supplies for a large turnout.

George Gilmore, head of the Ocean County Republicans, also spoke of the large turnout. “I think control of Congress was a factor,” he said, as well as the Senate race. “I think the President was a factor.” Whether you approve of the President Donald Trump or not, there were a lot of people who went to the polls because of it. Ocean County is largely a Republican stronghold. Trump won Ocean County by 91,929 votes. It was a significant margin. (Trump got 179,079 votes. Hillary Clinton got 87,150 votes.) While the number of voters tells one story, victory (Results - See Page 18)

Shelter:
Continued From Page 1 state-wide census for shelter animals. Maureen Flaherty of the FOSOCAS, a nonprofit organization that aids the Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter, stated that while this is still completely lawful, these defi nitions skew the true data, showing fewer animals up for adoption than truly exist. “Rescue animals are those held by an animal rescue organization in an animal rescue facility….Stray and free roaming animals are captured by animal control officers and impounded in a licensed impoundment facility,” stated Colin Campbell, State Public Health Veterinarian of the State Department of Health. The state has separate definitions for an animal rescue facility and a shelter, defining a shelter as “any establishment where dogs or other animals are received, housed and distributed,” according to Campbell. The state Department of Health categorizes stray animals that are taken in, into four areas: impounded, adopted, redeemed and euthanized. This can be found in the
W ! O EN N P O
departments yearly Infectious and Zoonotic Disease Program Stray Animal Intake and Disposition Survey. Flaherty explained that this is how the state misses some adoptable animals in creating the census. “Every animal that enters a public shelter in New Jersey is accounted for. They will either be listed as adopted, reclaimed, euthanized or dead on arrival…If charities are viewed under the law as persons when a charity/rescue takes an animal from the shelter the animal is considered adopted,” Flaherty said. According to Campbell, rescues and foster homes are usually private establishments where animals are temporarily housed while waiting for long-term adoption. “As such, the numbers of dogs held in private homes for adoption (rescues and fosters) is unknown,” he added. To fix this misconception and provide an accurate count of all animals, strays, rescues, and the like, some of our local Ocean County rescue organizations have taken part in a national campaign called Shelter Animals Count. “What shelter animals Count’s attempts
to do is to discriminate from animals that are adopted by people and go to loving homes and animals that are rescued from shelters and other situations and still in need of homes,” she added. “While great progress has been made, accurate and comprehensive nation-wide data does not exist. It’s precisely this data that will guide good decision-making, and help us save thousands of sheltered animals’ lives. The numbers really do count,” stated the Shelter Animals Count website. Shelter Animals Count works with shelters all over the country to collect data to create and share a national database of sheltered animal statistics. The accurate data helps to save more animal lives and prevent animal homelessness, according to the organization. Sara Kent of Shelter Animals Count explained that the collaboration of the organizations reporting data transparently allows the organization to offer many benefits, including: Providing shelters and rescues with a wealth of information on national trends that may affect their organizations.

ilar organizations with similar demographics, climate, geography, or other variables. Permitting researchers to perform the kind of analysis that individual organizations request and would otherwise need to fund. Allowing for measurement of the impact of shelter and rescue best practices. “The obvious conclusion is that the number of animals that are in loving homes for the remainder of their lives is over reported by the state,” concluded Flaherty. Local shelters participate in the database including Mama’s Gona Rescue of Tuckerton, Big East Akita Rescue of Toms River, Shiba Rescue of New Jersey of Toms River, Jersey Shore Animal Shelter of Brick, Tails of Hope in Oakhurst, and All Fur Love Animal Rescue in Freehold, among others. Kent noted that the organization works with eight shelters total between Ocean and Monmouth Counties. “Of the nearly 3,000 organizations who reported data monthly for 2017 to Shelter Animals Count, approximately half were rescue organizations. In 2017, they reported a total intake of 355,194 cats and dogs,” said Kent. Campbell added that the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) requests, but does not mandate, that licensed shelters and pounds complete a survey each year on the number of dogs and cats they house. However, not all relay the information to the department, he added.

Oyster Creek:
Continued From Page 1 Commission (NRC) a public hearing on the license transfer. It was announced earlier this year that Exelon Generation, owner of the plant, would be transfer ring the license of Oyster Creek over to purchaser Holtec International, a Camden-based dry cask storage manufacturer. The NRC is currently reviewing the terms of the sale to Holtec; a decision is expected to be made by May 2019. However, in the meantime, Clean Water Action New Jersey is requesting that the Attorney General review the proposed license transfer after discovering that Holtec has partnered “with a Canadian energy giant reportedly facing corruption charges in that country,” according to a press release. The Canadian company, SNC Lavalin, is reportedly facing with fraud and corruption charges. If the transfer is approved, Holtec would not only be taking over the plant but also the $982 million decommissioning fund as well as the decommissioning timeline, according to Clean Water Action. This also means that the new owner would gain access to multi-million dollar fund, nuclear materials and more than a million pounds of highly radioactive nuclear waste. According to Janet Tauro, Clean Water Action, NJ Board Chair, “This is a state and national security issue…Every precaution must be taken to ensure that those nuclear materials do not fall into the wrong hands.”
Although the Attorney General cannot sway or alter the outcome of the proposed transfer, further review into the matter could “raise any red flags if public safety is at risk” according to Clean Water Action. Jersey Shore Online previously reported that Holtec also plans on reducing the decommissioning timeline significantly, compared to the one outlined by Exelon and the NRC. The company aimed to complete the process in nearly half the time of the NRC’s 60-year plan. “Holtec plans on using a “proto-prompt” technology approved by the NRC several years ago that allows for a quicker time frame for emptying highly radioactive fuel pools,” stated Clean Water Action in the release. “The company has proposed transporting the casks containing the highly radioactive waste across the country to an interim-storage facility in New Mexico that would also be owned and operated by Holtec. That facility is pending NRC approval.” “This could be the best deal ever, or not,” stated Tauro. “Its complexity demands intense scrutiny to ensure public safety and not corporate gain.” Members of the NJ Sierra Club agree with this, requesting that the NRC set up a public hearing that would allow for the public’s questions to be answered regarding the license transfer, transparency, cost, liability and dry cask storage technology. “We don’t know enough about Holtec’s new dry cask storage design,” stated Jeff Tittel of the NJ Sierra Club. There is no word on whether a date for a public hearing has been approved or set.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE State Drug Database Will Help Tackle Opioid Epidemic
By Jennifer Peacock TRENTON – The newly launched Opioid Data Dashboard can help in the fight against opioid addiction. The New Jersey Department of Health designed the site to provide data to public health practitioners, researchers, policy makers, and the public. The dashboard features information on drug-related deaths, prescription monitoring program stats, naloxone (commonly known as Narcan) administrations, hospital visits, treatment admissions and discharges, among other data. This data is supplied by the Department of Health and New Jersey Attorney General’s Office, among others. It’s funded through a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“Improving public access to opioid-related data trends is vital to stemming the tide of this type of addiction in New Jersey,” DOH Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal said. “More than 100 people die every day in the United States from opioid-related drug overdoses, and it is our sincere hope that information contained in the dashboard will guide prevention efforts and lead to data-driven decision making in combatting this devastating epidemic.” The dashboard complements real-time data distributed through the website of the Office of the New Jersey Coordinator for Addiction Response and Enforcement Strategies’ (NJCARES), housed within the NJAG’s Office. That site shares county specific information. “New Jersey’s efforts to tackle the opioid epidemic depend on smart, data-driven policies and collaboration between government agencies,” Attorney General Gurbir S.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Health Dept. Urges You To Quit Smoking During Lung Cancer Awareness Month
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – Brian Lippai, Ocean County Health Department Public Information Officer, recalls how smoking has affected his life during this year’s Lung Cancer Awareness month. “As a young child, I can remember begging my father to please stop smoking. With a gentle smile he would respond with his typical response, ‘Someday, Brian, someday.’ Unfortunately, he never did quit and my father died from lung cancer at age 69 after a lifelong habit of smoking cigarettes. That’s why every November I look forward to my modest role as the Ocean County Health Department Public Information Officer and joining the army of anti-smoking crusaders that urge the 38 million smokers in the United States to quit!” stated Lippai. The Ocean County Health Department is recognizing November as Lung Cancer Awareness Month and the week of November 15 as the American Cancer Association’s (ACA) Great American Smoke Out event. Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health, stated “Despite making great strides, there is still work to be done. The numbers tell us that smokers have decreased from 42% in 1965 to less than 15% in 2016. However, the American Cancer Society estimates about 154,000 deaths in 2018 from lung cancer. That’s still too many.” Lung cancer is still the leading cause of cancer death and the second most common
cancer. Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Officer reminds everyone about the dangers of secondhand smoke. “It’s important to remind smokers that they aren’t only endangering their own lives but others as well. An alarming 73,000 people succumbed to cancer from secondhand smoke in the U.S between 2005 and 2009,” said Regenye. Regenye advises smokers to seek support when quitting. “Beating nicotine addiction is a personal quest with a variety of resources available to offer guidance and support,” he added. The Ocean County Health Department provides a list of tips by the American Lung Association to help smokers kick the habit: • Eliminate triggers - Thoroughly clean your house and car, removing all smoking devices and reminders. • Give it time - Try to make it 3 months. Understand that slip up are okay • Break the habitual routine - Start healthy habits • Keep trying - Every smoker can quit. It may take time or a lot of practice, but you do have the power to break the addiction.

OCC Volleyball Set For Stellar Season
By Chris Christopher It didn’t take Ocean County College women’s volleyball coach Sandra Stout long to learn she had a solid team on her hands. “I was not surprised at our success,” she said. “I was very, very excited during the fi rst week of tryouts to see the level of talent we had.” The Vikings fi nished with winning records during the regular season. They were 15-4 overall. They were 12-4 in National Junior College Athletic Association Division III Region XIX. And they were 8-2 in the Garden State Athletic Conference. “The girls jelled very early and very nicely,” said Stout, assisted by Avery Hodgson-Walters, a former Southern Regional High School athlete who will begin her fi rst season as OCC’s head women’s basketball coach this year. “Except for either two or three players, they played club ball during the off season. They fed off each other and began to blend like a well-oiled machine. I tell the team all of the time, ‘As long as you communicate and work together out there ... “Nobody’s feelings were hurt. The players are all mature. They were all there for the same reason - they wanted to win. None of the players were lazy. They all wanted to throw themselves on the court.” The Vikings’ captains were sophomore middle hitter Pascal El-Khouri, a former Brick Township High School player, and sophomore libero Gianna Addalli, who competed for the Toms River North Mariners. El-Khouri put her 6-foot-2 frame to good use and was often the tallest player on the court. She notched 47 blocks during the regular season. “She was very dominant at the net in terms of blocking and hitting the ball,” Stout said. “She has great eye-hand coordination and follows the ball on the other side of the net quite well.” El-Khouri is mentally tough. “She is a very even tempered, controlled player,” Stout said. “She does not become rattled. When she makes mistakes, she just comes back and plays the next ball. She
does not get down on herself. She encourages her teammates. She is not hyper. She is very level headed and rational.” El-Khouri competed for the Vikings last season. “She substantially improved her game,” Stout said. “She had more confidence. Her timing on the attack has gotten better. Her approach at the net on the attack has enabled her to jump higher.” Like El-Khouri, Addalli owns strong leadership skills. Both were selected as the team’s leaders by Stout and Hodgson-Walters. “Gianna is very much a natural leader,” Stout said. “She kind of unifies the team with her leadership during timeouts. She points out our weaknesses.” Addalli excelled at libero. “She was very much the heart of the team,” Stout said. “Most of our plays started with her pass. She is a very versatile player. She has a back row hit that is very effective.” Addalli is also adept at serving, unleashing 46 regular season aces. “She has a killer serve,” Stout said. “It is low to the net and it drops after it goes over the net. She places the ball well and is confident in her serve.” Freshman defensive specialist Kirstyn Smith, who hails from Brick Memorial, played a large role in OCC’s success. “She is fairly new to that position,” Stout said. “She was not in the starting lineup at the beginning of the season. She played next to Gianna quite often and was very open to learning from her in the back row. She worked on her serve. She got better at serving as the season moved along.” Another tall player was 6-foot-1 freshman middle blocker Taylor Jackson, formerly of Toms River North. She led the team in blocks with 48 during the regular season. “She was a great addition to the team,” Stout said. “Her height was a big factor. She played in the middle at North and was very comfortable there with us. She has great timing and spacial awareness for blocking and hitting.” Freshman outside hitter Ashley Stickle, (Volleyball - See Page 22)

I often hear the comment, “I can’t appreciate going to the movies because I am missing the punch line.” Similar complaints are reiterated when watching TV, listening to the radio or in noisy restaurant environments. These environments have something in common; they all present the listener with a mechanical reproduction of sound and utilize various techniques that can make understanding difficult with hearing loss. Movie theaters employ loudness expansion. With expansion, loud sounds are louder than normal. This is exactly the opposite of what people with hearing loss need. Specifically, hearing impaired folks need loudness compression (reduced amplification of loud sounds). It is ridiculous that most movie theaters insist on playing sound tracks so loud even though everybody complains about it. Moreover, filmmakers often use multiple microphones to record speech
from several people at the same time. Add background music to this situation and you have the recipe for a difficult listening environment. Whether you are listening to the radio, telephone, TV or watching movies, the quality of sound and the intelligibility of speech has been recorded, processed, transmitted and amplified. For people with hearing loss, this difference is enough to make understanding a real challenge. I encourage anybody who is having difficulty listening in these environments to utilize the technology that is available to improve the sound quality. For example, most movie theaters “are wired for sound,” and allow you to utilize their own personal listening headphones (which are typically infra red technology). In most cases, this will dramatically improve your ability to understand speech, which is our common goal.

Local Pediatrician Suspended After Illegally Distributing Prescription Drugs
By Jennifer Peacock NEWARK – An Ocean Township pediatric gastroenterologist was suspended from practice indefinitely after he was arrested in Toms River in July and charged with distributing a controlled dangerous substance. Dr. Martin D. Fried, who operates Healthy Days LLC in Ocean, appeared in U.S. District Court Thursday to face new charges of attempting to distribute oxycodone, Adderall, and Xanax “outside the usual course of professional practice and not for a legitimate medical purpose,” New Jersey State Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said. Those charges were filed by the U.S. Attorney Office in the District of New Jersey. The doctor was arrested outside a Walgreens by Toms River Police on July 20, 2018. Two of his patients, to whom he allegedly prescribed medically unnecessary prescriptions, were also arrested. Fried voluntarily surrendered his DEA registration on July 31, which allowed him to prescribe CDS. He also voluntarily
informed the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners that he ceased practicing medicine. Fried has agreed to an indefinite suspension of his medical license, pending a future demonstration of his fitness to practice, and further action by the Board, under the terms of a consent order. Under that same order, Fried must participate in a professional assistance treatment program before he can be reinstated. “We need doctors working with us, not against us, in the fight to end New Jersey’s opioid epidemic,” Grewal said. “As these actions demonstrate, we will continue to crack down on doctors who flout prescribing laws and fuel the opioid health crisis by indiscriminately dispensing pain medications that lead to addiction.” Patients who believe that they have been treated by a licensed health care professional in an inappropriate manner can file an online complaint with the State Division of Consumer Affairs by visiting its website or by calling 800-242-5846 or 973-504- 6200.

3 Convincing Reasons To Eat More Oatmeal
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Most people conjure up an image in their mind about eating oatmeal. It’s usually the vision of someone over the age of 60, seeking the joys of regularity. But it should not be that cliche. If you’re interested in a good meal that is packed with vitamins and minerals, and even some cancer-fighting phytonutrients, oatmeal is top of the list. Oatmeal can help suppor t you in your quest to fight diabetes, obesity and colon problems. Here are 3 really convincing reasons to start eating oatmeal. 1. Want prote c t ion f rom ger ms or cancer? Oats are a very healthy source of carbs, fat, protein, and fiber. The most famous fiber of all is “beta glucan,” a natural immunomodulator. It makes sure that your immune system’s radar detector is on alert, thereby placing your fighter cells on guard in case home-invaders show up. The most common attackers are bacteria, viruses and rogue cells that cause cancer. Scientists have found evidence that it can stimulate the growth of new stem cells too. 2. Feeling Tired or Anemic? Oats contain many vitamins and minerals, especially iron. Just one cup of dried oats cont ains 26% of the Recommended Daily Allowance for iron. Obviously, you want to cook the oats. What’s nice about this is that iron
supplements can be very hard on your gastrointestinal tract, and can cause stool discoloration, cramps, constipation and severe nausea or vomiting. So to have a delicious meal and know that you’re getting much needed iron can be a blessing. 3. Need to work on blood sugar or cholesterol? It is the soluble fiber in oatmeal which can slow down the rate at which carbs are broken down and digested. This stabilizes your blood sugar, and prevents crazy peaks and troughs. Because it keeps blood sugar stable, oatmeal is theoretically great at preventi ng complications f rom diabetes or other chronic illnesses. It literally improves insulin resistance. I am definitely an oatmeal fan if you haven’t deduced that by now. I think I make the best too! Oatmeal lovers rarely go on statins too! Eating oatmeal even twice a week can have an immediate impact on longevity. Researchers have stated that no matter when you begin upping your intake of dietary fiber, the benefits to your health are virtually immediate. If you’d like my delicious recipe for oatmeal, as well as a longer version of my article, sign up for my free newslet ter at su z ycohen .com a nd I’ll email it to you. You’ll also get a downloadable copy of my ebook, Spices That Heal.

Inside The Law Injured At Work?! Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea of R.C. Shea & Associates
You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization. Further, it is important to note an-
other critical benefit of the Workers Michael J. Deem Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from colle c t io n s l aw s u it s when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. 732-505-1212.

Results:
Continued From Page 1 margins are more important, Gilmore said. They demonstrate how well the campaign worked, and how well the candidate was able to reach voters. It’s telling that Republican Senate candidate Bob Hugin had the largest victory margin in the state in Ocean County, he said. Hugin received 139,766 votes. Senator Robert Menendez received 74,566 votes, but did better in other counties and won the election. To further put the vote totals into perspective, Hugin received more votes in Ocean County than Kim Guadagno when she ran for governor, and Chris Christie the last time he ran for governor.

In 2017, there were 97,737 votes for Kim Guadagno and Carlos Rendo. There were 56,279 votes for Phil Murphy and Sheila Oliver. In 2013, Ocean County was responsible for 125,781 of Chris Christie’s votes. He ran with Kim Guadagno as his running mate. Their opposition, Democrats Barbara Buono and Milly Silva, received just 37,930 votes. Hugin even did better than 2012’s numbers. This was the last time that Menendez ran, and it was also a presidential election. Menendez received 99,362 votes. His Republican challenger, Joe Kyrillos received 132,413 votes. This figure is more in line with what Hugin received this year, 139,766, and there wasn’t a presidential election to boost totals. Blue Wave, Red County Although Democrats nationwide flipped many congressional seats, Ocean County largely remained Republican. Many towns didn’t even have Democrats on the ballot. One notable exception is in South Toms River, where the Democrat candidates for mayor and two council members won. Although many national news sources ignored the 3rd District Congressional race on election night, it was so close that Rep. Tom MacArthur only conceded on Nov.

14, while provisional ballots were still being counted. MacArthur received 76,998 votes in Ocean. Andy Kim received 46,861 votes. The provisional vote totals were still being compiled as of press time. The last time MacArthur was on the ballot was in 2016, when he received 95,147 votes. His challenger, Frederick LaVergne, received 41,766 votes. Remember that this was the same year as the presidential election, when there are more voters. In 2014, he received 45,518 votes from Ocean, compared to Aimee Belgard, who received 27,232. So, he received about 30,000 more votes in 2018 than in 2014. Kim received about 20,000 more than the 2014 contestant. After the midterms, Rep. Chris Smith is the only Republican left in the House of Representatives from New Jersey. His 4th District straddles Ocean and Monmouth counties. He received 49,830 votes in Ocean. Challenger Josh Welle received 24,130 votes. In 2016, Smith received 62,148 votes. His challenger, Lorna Phillipson, received 22,045 votes. Again, this was a presidential election, so numbers increase. In 2014, Chris Smith received 36,888 of the votes in Ocean. His challenger, Ruben Scolavino, received 34,651. So, again,
Smith received more than 20,000 votes this year than in the most comparable year, 2014. His challenger actually performed worse. Even Seth Grossman, who lost the endorsement from the National Republicans after making negative statements about diversity, did well in Ocean County. He received 10,972 votes. His challenger, Jeff Van Drew, received 6,999 votes. Grossman and Van Drew were competing over the second Congressional District, vacated by retiring Republican Frank LoBiondo. During the presidential election in 2016, LoBiondo received 13,268 votes. His challenger, David Cole, received 5,882 votes. In 2014, LoBiondo received 8,031 votes in Ocean. His challenger, William J. Hughes Jr., received 3,438 votes. So, Grossman did better than LoBiondo did in the last midterm. The difference in vote counts between congressional districts have to do with the size of the districts in Ocean County. The 4th District, for example, has a lot of space in Monmouth County. The second district is stretched out over eight different counties. This article only looks at Ocean County numbers. Wyatt Earp, chairman of the Ocean County Democrats, was unable to be reached for comment by press time.

LSVT BIG: Exaggerated Movements for Parkinson’s Symptom Relief By: Lindsay Walicky, DPT
A
pproximately one million Americans are currently living with Parkinson’s disease. Men are one and a half times more likely to be diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD) than women. Parkinson’s disease is classified as a movement disorder. Patients with PD lack dopamine, which is a central nervous system (CNS) chemical derived from the substantia nigra portion of the brain. Dopamine works to control smooth movement, which is why patients with PD lack controlled and smooth pursuits of their movements. The most common symptoms of PD can include: tremors, rigidity (stiffness in their trunk/body), postural instability, and balance deficits. Other symptoms that can occur are masked facial expressions and soft speech or slurring.
the protocol consisting of 16, hour long sessions with a certified Physical or Occupational Therapist geared towards improving the symptoms of PD. This program consists of seated and standing exercises including movements that challenge balance, trunk control, rotations and limb mobility. Goals are set specifically for each patient throughout the program focusing on the activities of daily living (ADL’s) and the functional limitations patients with PD have. These can include simple things like getting in and out of the car or bed, rising from the couch, or reaching on a high shelf. During each session the therapist will work on these issues as well as walking and balance. A detailed home exercise program (HEP) will also be provided for each patient to assist with carry-over post-therapy session.
The cause of PD is unknown and currently there is no cure; however, treatments to control the symptoms are available. Current treatment options include: dopamine replacement medications, the most common being Sinemet and/or the more radical treatment being neurosurgical intervention in which a deep brain stimulator is implanted in the patient’s brain. The stimulator is placed in the location from which the symptoms originate to modify the brain activity.
Patients with PD have an abnormal perception of normal movement sizes. Small steps, decreased body rotation and arm swing with shuffling steps are typical. The LSVT BIG exercises are specific to address these deficits. The intensity of this program enhances the carry-over to change the normal movements, not just during the therapy sessions but throughout the patient’s daily lives.
Many research studies are currently being conducted to assist with management, diagnosis and cause, including the LSVT BIG exercise program. Of that research, LSVT BIG results have shown that exercise in addition to or in lieu of dopamine replacement medication or neurosurgical intervention can slow disease progression and help to manage current symptoms. Patient case studies have proven significant effectiveness of these specified movements geared towards the impairments associated with PD. LSVT is a program that has been studied for many years originally being used as a speech program implemented by speech therapists (LSVT LOUD). LSVT BIG is a specific exercise program;
The LSVT BIG program works because the exercises specifically target the movement deficits patients with PD are affected with. The program is called “BIG” because the exercises require actual big movements, using large steps with the legs and reaching and swinging movements of the arms and upper body. These movements assist with increasing the patient’s mobility as well as working on their balance, causing them to shift their weight forward, backwards and to both sides. The exercises can be modified for different physical functioning levels to perform with the therapist in the safest manner. The repetition of these exercises and the consistency of this program work to enhance the long-term effects from the therapy clinic to home and ultimately life. Research has shown significant improvements in the brain through these studies. Positive
changes in image results before and after completing this program have been found. There is no cure for PD, but through the LSVT BIG program the symptoms can be managed. There are multiple stages of PD, and catching patient’s at the optimal stage can highly assist with the symptom recovery process leading to a better outcome and quality of life for the patient and family. No matter what stage of disease progression a patient with PD is in, increasing the amount of daily activity and participating in a regular exercise program can improve the quality of life and movements. If you would like to know if LSVT BIG is right for you or a loved one, contact your doctor and mention the LSVT BIG program at All-Care Physical Therapy Center.

One player left the team and we put Ashley up front and placed Smith on the back line. Ashley has great timing and a variety of kill approaches. She can hit the ball hard cross court and off speed. She also hits the ball in the middle of the court.” Former Toms River North player Samantha Rose led the Vikings in aces with 69 during the regular season from her setter slot. “She has been setting for quite a while,” Stout said. “She has the natural ability to get the ball to our hottest player with either a back bump set or a back set. She has good spacial awareness as she knows where her teammates are. Even when she runs after a rogue ball that is heading out of bounds, she can get the ball to a playable spot on the court for an attack. “She also has an outstanding serve. She has a variety of serves and she also has the ability to serve low and hard. She is very consistent with that type of serve. She has a lob serve that catches the defense off guard and is usually not playable. She is very consistent in her serving.” Freshman outside hitter Jenna Kulinski, who hails from Southern Regional, is strong in the intangibles department. She played for the Rams under legendary girls and boys coach Eric Maxwell, who notched his 1,000th career win--combined at the helm of each team - earlier this season. “She is very passionate,” Stout said. “She gives it all she’s got all of the time she is out there. She is a big hustler, a team moti-
vator, and she plays all the way around the court. Not only is she strong up front, she is quite accomplished at playing defense on the back row. Other contributors to the Vikings’ success were opposite hitter Gabriella Figueroa, a freshman from Lakewood; Adriana Acevedo, a freshman setter-defensive specialist from Lakewood, and Michelle DeRiggi, a sophomore defensive specialist from the Ocean County Christian Academy and a Toms River resident. “Gabriella covers well on the attack,” Stout said. “On the block, she stays very low and picks the ball off the ground. She’s a strong, young player. She digs on the coverage quite well. Adriana and Michelle are great supporting players. They don’t ever stop supporting their teammates. That is what our team needs. They come back day after day despite knowing they probably won’t get into a match.” Stout looks for several things when recruiting players. “Experience, coachability, hustle, mental toughness and the ability to communicate,” she said. “That is it. I don’t get to see many high school matches because our matches are played during the high school season. I attend the club matches during the off season. I attend the OCC open houses to try to meet the players who are interested in playing for us.” Stout attended OCC from 1982-84, winning Most Valuable Player honors in volleyball and women’s basketball. The Lyndhurst, Bergen County, graduate is a school counselor for the Performing Arts Academy at the Ocean County Vocational Technical School at the US Naval Air Engineering Center in Lakehurst. “Before I came to OCC, I had never played volleyball,” she said. “I played it to get into shape for basketball. I said, ‘Let me see what this volleyball thing is all about.’ That is where it started for me.”

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SUFFERING WITH NEUROPATHY? IS THE NUMBNESS & TINGLING UNBEARABLE? Time to get your life back! This advanced, all-natural treatment can help you finally find long lasting relief. “I can’t sleep at night – It’s like constant pins & needles in my feet” Peripheral neuropathy often affects multiple facets of a person’s life; they can’t sleep, they’re constantly suffering, and can’t enjoy life the way they used to. Whether this sounds like what you’ve been dealing with, or if you’ve only just begun to feel the numbness, tingling, or pain associated with neuropathy, it’s important you take action to find relief. So many people suffering from neuropathy try lots of exhausting treatment options and medications with little success. That is no longer necessary with this innovative program by Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation, covered by most major insurance providers including Medicare. We’re offering FREE consultations ($245 value) for our neuropathy treatment – call 732-345-1377 to reserve your consult to learn what custom treatment program our doctors can create for you.
If you’re interested in learning firsthand about this breakthrough treatment, call for a completely FREE initial consult ($245 value) – 732-345-1377. But hurry, this valuable offer is only available to the first 17 callers! Forget about drugs with nasty side effects, or being told to “just live with it” Doctors who couldn’t help you, failed attempts to find relief, endless frustration: these are things of the past. The team of experts at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation (MPR) offer holistic and effective solutions to your numbness, tingling, burning, and pins & needles sensations. At MPR, it’s all about YOU and your needs. Each patient receives a customized treatment program, a curated combination of the most trusted and successful technologies that actually have an effect of your symptoms, without having to take more medications. This treatment is unique and works FAST K-Laser therapy at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation has been proven to reduce the painful and numbing symptoms of neuropathy, whether patients are in the early stages, or have been suffering for years and are finally seeking treatment. Tom P., an MPR patient, explains, “I could barely feel anything happening during my laser treatment except for a bit of a warm feeling. I knew it had to be working though, because I could tell a difference even when I went home that day. And now, months later, I feel SO much better!” In addition, the doctors use non-invasive care to eliminate any nerve issues, which effectively gets to the root of your pain. They then treat the symptoms, allowing you to not only feel relief, but also address the cause of your pain. Special low-force instrumentation frees the nerves to eliminate any damage caused by old herniated discs or arthritis. One of the especially distinctive characteristics of the neuropathy treatment at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation is their use of Power Plate© technology, which stimulates the body’s natural reflexive response through vibration. This immensely increases blood and nutrient circulation to the nerve cells. What are you waiting for? This treatment is DIFFERENT, SUCCESSFUL, and the initial consultation is FREE! You have nothing to lose. The team of doctors at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation aims to help their patients get their lives back. Living in pain or trying ineffective treatments time and time again are a thing of the past. Call today for your free consult – 732-345-1377.
