–Photo courtesy Kevin’s Kids This photo, taken in a previous year, shows just how great the need is in Manchester. By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The question assumes a happy answer: “What is Santa Claus going to bring you on Christmas Eve?” A first-grade teacher innocently asked her class that 36 years ago, when one child offered an unexpected answer: Santa Claus never comes to my house. School staff donned their Santa’s Helpers Hats and started a toy drive to make sure Santa visited not only him but other needy children. So now each year, the Manchester Township
School District holds its drive, Kevin’s Kids. They help a list that school officials anticipate will include nearly 400 children and their families this year. “Yes, this is a Christmas Drive, but hopefully the necessities provided will help parents in these difficult times throughout the year,” said Alex George, Director of Student and Administrative Services, and chairperson for the drive. The district hopes not only to collect toys, but necessities for families to help them get through (Kevin’s Kids - See Page 5)

Where To Donate For The Holiday Season By Kimberly Bosco With the holiday season upon us, it would be prudent to know when and where you can donate food, clothing, or toys for those in need all around the area. Whether it is your local food bank or a county organization, there is no shortage of holiday donation drives working to get the less fortunate through the winter months. Here is a list of some of
the major drives going on throughout Ocean County and Monmouth County towns. On a county scale, Ocean County residents can look to (Donate - See Page 8)

–Photo by Kimberly Bosco The animal shelter houses animals of all shapes and sizes, ready and waiting for a loving home. By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – While you may know where you can fi nd 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 Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter (FOSOCAS) explains it, the way the state of New Jersey defi nes “rescues” leaves them out of the 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 definitions 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 (Animals - See Page 4)

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 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

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. Providing the ability to view data from similar 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 orga-
nization 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.

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

the long winter months. “Through the generosity of the Manchester School District, the Manchester Police, many local businesses, senior villages and the entire Manchester community, the Kevin’s Kids Christmas Drive hopes to grant the specific Wish List of each child,” George said. “Teachers contact parents of the identified children and develop the wish list of each child. During this process, staff discover that for so many of these children it is the very first ‘new’ pair of sneakers or that first brand-new outfit for school or a bicycle that will be their own, instead of one that someone else discarded.” “This Holiday Drive enables ‘Santa’ to visit the home of each of these disadvantaged children, bringing not just gifts but joy. The children and families that we help struggle every other day of the year and we want them to have at least one special day full of surprise and delight. It offers these children the chance to believe that good things can happen to them,” George said. “We ask individuals, businesses and community groups for any contribution that you can make to help us carry out our pledge
to make sure that Santa Claus visits every home in Manchester. Each donation goes directly to buy food, new toys and clothing for every child identified on our list,” George continued. “It is through your help and generosity that we can achieve our goal.” The public can donate by sending a check to Manchester Township Middle School. Make checks payable to the school, with “Kevin’s Kids” in the memo line, and mail to Kevin’s Kids, c/o Manchester Township Middle School, 2759 Ridgeway Road, Manchester, N.J., 08759. Donations of new toys and clothing can be made to any Manchester school. All donations are due by Dec. 7. • Manchester Township High School, 101 South Colonial Drive • Manchester Township Middle School, 2759 Ridgeway Road • Manchester Township Elementary School, 101 North Colonial Drive • Ridgeway Elementary School, 2861 Ridgeway Road • Whiting Elementary School, 412 Manchester Blvd. • Regional Day School, 890 Toms River Road, Jackson For more information, visit manchester twp.org/kevinskids.

“Home For The Holidays” Program WHITING – Are you mourning the loss of a loved one, facing life after divorce, coping with the loss of a job, living with a medical condition, or grieving some other loss? Are you wondering if you will ever truly be able to celebrate the holidays -- or life – again? On Tuesday, November 27 from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. we will gather to talk about both how difficult and isolating grief can be at this time of year, and how the rich storehouse of our religious heritage and resources can help us to face and even celebrate the deepest message of the holidays, namely, that God is still with us and is still a resurrecting God. Each participant will receive a Blue Christ-
mas devotional book to be used daily in Advent and on Christmas Day. Our guest speaker, Rev. James Davis, a retired United Methodist Pastor, has spent his ministry helping people cope with a variety of losses. Please let us know if you plan to attend by calling the church office at 732-350-6878. We hope you will invite your neighbors and friends to attend. Also, save the date: A Blue Christmas Service will be held on Thursday, December 20 at 2 p.m. at the church. This service is for those who are feeling blue this Christmas. Please join us. You don’t need to be a member of the church to attend these programs.

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 first week of tryouts to see the level of talent we had.” The Vikings finished 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 first 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, who played for Brick Memorial, blasted home 59 kills in 14 regular season matches en route to a .229 percentage. “She did fantastic,” Stout said. “She and Smith were not playing together a whole lot at the beginning of the season. 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 motivator, 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 (Volleyball - See Page 15)

Continued From Page 14 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,”
The Manchester Times, November 24, 2018, Page 15 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.”
Cooks Fundraising Christmas Lights Celebrates Sixth Year
By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – Christmas really does come in July, or at least the summer, for the Cooks. In its sixth year, The Cooks Christmas Lights will light up at 1 Carlson Court to help raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. To date, the Cooks have raised more than $21,000 for the organization. One-hundred percent of the donations received go to the MS Society. The tradition didn’t start out as a fund raiser. Michael Cook and his wife Carol played around with a 16-channel sequencer and synchronized seven songs to lights that first year. “We like Christmas and we like Christmas lights,” Michael Cook said in a phone interview Nov. 7 with The Jackson Times. He was sitting at this kitchen table, testing 300 lights before starting the long installation process outside the house. In its second year, having attracted visitors who viewed the show and asked if they took donations, Michael and Carol, whose son suffers from MS, decided to adopt the National MS Society as its benefactor for donations. It’s grown to nearly 33,000 lights and eight songs, four new this year. This includes the 3,200-light spiral mega tree and four singing Christmas tree faces. Two years ago, the family added a 1,008-bulb pixel matrix, which will make another appearance this year.
It takes months to put in all the work to synchronize the lights to music, finagle the electrical equipment and then install all the displays. The work starts in the summer and gets tweaked up until the first show after Thanksgiving. And, of course, there are the candy canes. Michael Cook gave out more than 7,000 last year, and hopes to top that number this year. Their fundraising efforts have caught the attention of the National MS Society. This year, on Dec. 9, the family will be recognized during the Society’s Breakthrough’s event in Iselin. The event includes keynote speakers and a time to recognize those who raise money for MS research. It’s the first year the Cooks have been invited to attend. The Cooks Christmas Lights starts Nov. 24 and runs through New Year’s Day. Guests can view the show Sundays through Thursdays, 6-10 p.m., and Fridays and Saturdays 6-11 p.m. Viewing instructions are posted by their driveway, but guests should tune into FM 100.9. Michael Cook asked that visitors make sure to turn off headlights to better enjoy the show. Please don’t block neighbors’ driveways. A place to leave donations will be clearly marked. For updates and more information, visit their Facebook page at facebook.com/ cookschristmasnj/.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)
Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
My Hearing Is Prett y Good, Except When I Go To The Movies 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.

Six Years After Sandy: Oyster Creek Prepared For Disaster
By Kimberly Bosco LACEY – It’s been six years since the unforgettable Superstorm Sandy took out some of the most beloved parts of the Jersey Shore. Not only did Sandy wash away memorable parts of places like Seaside Heights or parts of Long Beach Island, but it also posed a risk to those who lived near the oldest operating nuclear power plant in the country: Oyster Creek Generating Station.
Today, Oyster Creek is officially closed down, its reactors turned off. Jersey Shore Online reported on Sept. 17, 2018 when Exelon Generation officials announced the closure of Oyster Creek and the beginning stages of decommissioning. However, when Sandy hit at the end of October 2012, Oyster Creek was still operating and faced major issues as a result of the storm. The New York Times reported back in January 2013, on how Oyster Creek reached an “alert”
emergency status during Sandy. The report cited “several small errors” including unclear control room logs, grid failure, and water surges. “Oyster Creek was the only one to go past “emergency event,” the lowest level of emergency, to “alert”,” which is the second-lowest of the four-stage ranking of emergencies for nuclear plants, the NYT report stated. A report by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on Oyster Creek’s Hurricane
Performance published on Nov. 13, 2012 focused in on the “timing of the emergency declarations” at the plant as well Exelon’s storm preparation, equipment performance, and “overall command and control from an emergency preparedness perspective” prior to the storm, according to the report. The NRC report stated that Oyster Creek’s emergency status went from an “Unusual Event” to “Alert” as Sandy caused higher than normal water levels and the plant’s water intake structure. Although this declaration was deemed appropriate and timely by the report, some areas for improvement were determined including: “heightened awareness of emergency declaration thresholds, clearer documentation in control room records and ensuring reliable back-up power for the plant’s emergency operations facility,” according to the report. Since Sandy hit, in addition to the improvements realized during the storm, major changes have been made to safety and preparedness guidelines at nuclear power plants as a result of the Fukushima disaster in March 2011. These guidelines were not yet in effect at Oyster Creek during Sandy, according to Neil Sheehan of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. “However, we would note that the reactor was shut down at the time and there were multiple means by which operators could keep the fuel in the reactor and the spent fuel pool at the time cooled. This included changes put in place after the 9/11 attacks,” he stated. Sheehan said that Exelon was required to perform an assessment of the area for flooding events that were “above and beyond what the plant was designed to handle” in order to implement any necessary flood-mitigation methods that adhered to the updated regulations after Fukushima. This evaluation, done in May 2017, was found to be valid and protective. “One of the post-Fukushima changes was a requirement that all plant owners acquire portable generators and pumps (and other “FLEX” equipment) that would help them respond to a loss of on-site and off-site power,” Sheehan told Jersey Shore Online. Oyster Creek has complied with this. Now that Oyster Creek has shut its doors, the safety risk profile has been significantly reduced, according to Sheehan. If another Hurricane Sandy-like storm were to batter the Jersey Shore, Oyster Creek is in a much better position to handle it. “The biggest risk at the site now is the spent (nuclear) fuel pool,” he added. Part of the decommissioning process is transporting the spent fuel from the reactors into a spent fuel pool. The “spent fuel pool” is located on site at Oyster Creek. “Even if a problem were to occur involving the pool, such as a leak, the operators would have ample time to respond to it before there would be any concerns about impacts on plant workers or the public,” stated Sheehan. Following the decaying process, spent fuel is then transferred into dry cask storage; then follows decontamination and dismantling of the facility, according to the NRC. This entire process can take up to 60 years, as the NRC describes it. However, with the impending sale of the plant to Holtec International, announced back in July 2018, the decommissioning timeline could be moved up to just 8 years by their math. The NRC is only in the early stages transferring the license from Exelon to Holtec, said Sheehan. “If the sale to Holtec is approved, it will not alter the requirements for compliance with our post-Fukushima orders,” he added.

Inside The Law Injured At Work?! Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!
SAVE THE DATE FRI, DEC 7TH 6-9PM SAT, DEC 8TH 2-5PM
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-
NIGHT IN BETHLEHEM
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.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
You’re Not Invisible – You’re On Vacation
Dear Joel, My wife and I have a near perfect marriage. We enjoy the same things and do almost everything together, except when her mother visits. She’s a nice enough lady, but when she’s here it’s like I don’t even exist. The Invisible Man in Toms River Dear Invisible, You folks sound like a super family. You are very lucky to have a great relationship with your wife that you enjoy every day. Additionally, it is wonderful that your wife and your mother get along so well. If you saw all the situations and family dynamics that I have, you would know how truly blessed you are. Still, I do understand. It’s hard to feel like the odd man out, but try not to take it personally. Your wife knew your mother-in-law her whole life. It’s a sacred bond, and your wife
probably loves you more for giving her time with her mother. Don’t let it get to you, and instead, use that time to do all the things you need or want to do. When you start to view your mother-in-law’s visits as a gift to your wife and as your own personal time, you’ll all enjoy it and you’ll get a lot more accomplished. Read that book you always wanted to read, organize the garage, treat yourself to a nice meal out, take a bike ride or review all your papers and insurance policies. You may even find a little extra savings. Remember, you’re not invisible, you’re on vacation. 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

Facts To Know About Flu Season
By Judy Smestad-Nunn OCEAN COUNTY – The flu vaccine does not cause the flu since it contains influenza viruses that have been killed, and are therefore unable to infect your body, said Jennifer Crawford, an epidemiologist who oversees the communicable disease department at the Ocean County Health Department (OCHD). It takes the vaccine two to four weeks for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against the flu, so if someone has been exposed before their shot, they could get the flu, she said. Also, the vaccine, usually given as a quadrivalent vaccine, only protects against four strains of the flu, and there are dozens of strains out there, Crawford said. “So if you come into contact with a different strain that’s in the vaccine, you could get the flu,” she said. That’s true, said Dr. Philip Angelo, a family physician from Brick who works for CentraState in Colts Neck, but getting the
flu shot offers protection against strains that aren’t even in the vaccine. He said there is documented evidence that the flu shot makes the symptoms of different strains of the flu milder, even if it’s not an exact match, reducing the both the need for hospitalization and mortality rates. If you have aches and pains after the flu shot, it’s just your immune system “charging up and learning how to fight the flu,” Dr. Angelo said. “There are a number of important reasons to get the flu shot. First, it kills up to 30,000 people a year in the United States, and that number is not just old and frail people,” he said. “Younger people are also getting sick and dying from the new flu strains.” Also, the flu knocks you down for a week, and for a lot of people, missing a week of work could present multiple hardships, Dr. Angelo said. “Getting your flu shot prevents you from spreading it to other people, and some
people - like those with advanced lung disease, or people on chemo - if they get the flu, they could die,” he said. “Get the shot now before it starts coming around, even if you’re young and healthy,” Dr. Angelo said. “I get my flu shot every year, and I have for the past 20 years.” Flu viruses are constantly changing. The composition of U.S. flu vaccines is reviewed annually and updated as needed to match circulating flu viruses, Crawford said. “We vaccinate for flu viruses that we expect to be circulating that season based on other parts of the world that experience winter when we are not, she said. While Crawford said it’s too soon to comment on the efficacy rate of this year’s quadrivalent vaccine, people who got last year’s vaccine were 40 to 60 percent less likely to get the flu, she said. “It’s better to get vaccinated early in the fall. We started our flu clinics in early October because we wanted people to
start getting it before the influenza starts circulating,” she said. The OCHD offers multiple clinics at multiple locations throughout the fall until mid-December. Their public information officer, Brian Lippai, said it depends on an individual’s health insurance, but most co-pays are about $20. The vaccinations are free to those who are enrolled in Medicare Part B. If an individual has a fi nancial hardship, Lippai said to talk to the clinic manager who would discretely discuss getting the shot for free on a case-by-case basis. The OCHD recommends that everyone over the age of six month should get vaccinated against the seasonal flu every year. The shots are especially important for pregnant women and people with chronic diseases. For more information, including information about upcoming flu clinics, visit ochd. org or call 732 341-9700 or 800 342-9738 extension 7604.

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.

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,”

Exploring The Hook
WARETOWN – We will focus on the wildlife and a little history that can be seen at Sandy Hook with this van tour. We will hopefully see a variety of ducks and sea birds but also, with any luck, some seals. Bring your binoculars, pack a lunch, dress for the weather (layers are best as we will be in and out of the van) and be prepared for short walks on the sand. Pick up is at the Parking Lot at Wells Mills County Park, Waretown on Jan. 11. Depart at 8 a.m.; return at 4 p.m. The cost is $14 per person for those 9 and up.
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 govern-
ment agencies,” Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said. “Drawing on information that the Office of the Attorney General has posted on our NJ CARES website, the Department of Health’s opioid data dashboard illustrates what we can do when we work together.” The dashboard can be accessed at state. nj.us/health/populationhealth/opioid/.

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office is recognizing Veterans Day, led by Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer. “On this day, we don’t only celebrate our freedom and our democracy but also the incredible sacrifices made to achieve them,” Billhimer said. “Veterans Day is a reminder that the blessings we often take for granted are the result of the bravery and selflessness of our servicemen and women. “For many, service to our country comes at a great personal cost. Because of the risks, the sacrifices and the depravation, no one leaves the military unchanged. For some, there are physical injuries. For others, the wounds are invisible but they are as painful and as real.” Billhimer is carrying on the program developed in 2016, the Veteran’s Diversionary Program. Knowing the sacrifice made by men and women in the service, the OCPO developed the program, which offers veterans who face criminal charges an alternative to criminal prosecution. The program is under the direction of Senior Assistant Prosecutor Renee White. Retired Army Medic Ruben Gomez, often accompanied by his service dog Faora

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.
