New Year Marks Changes On Jackson Council By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – A new term for Mayor Michael Reina, two new council members and the first reorganization meeting presided over by new Township Clerk Janice Kisty marked this year’s reorganization meeting. The 175th reorganization meeting, the 13th for the current mayor and council form of government, was held a day after New Year’s Day. The meeting was well attended as family and friends gathered in the council chambers. Father John Bambrick of St. Aloysius Church presented the benediction prior to the first oath of office administered during the evening. Mayor Reina was surrounded by his family as he took his latest four-year term as mayor having marked a decade of service in that role. “I’d like to extend a thank you to those who supported us. It is very humbling,” Reina said. “We spend a lot of time outside of our homes but that is what we signed up for. We have to move forward and we are open to criticism because that is how we learn. The new year will bring us new challenges.” Those challenges include hiring a new business administrator. Helene Schnegel, who served in (Improve - See Page 2)

Continued From Page 1 Now in its fourth year, students from all over Ocean County started arriving at the Brick Center at 9 a.m. on a recent Saturday, and as they entered, they received Career Passports that led them on an adventure through career exploration, she said. Af ter wa rds, st udents would bring their fully stamped passport to OCVTS admission representative Nicole Wallner where they would play Plinko and win a prize, such as a $5 bakery gift certiﬁcate, a t-shirt, sweatshirt or water bottle. “This way they feel like they walked out a winner, and they get something free from OCVTS that promotes our programs without even knowing, because when they complete the passport they have seen a lot of our programs,” Wallner said. All the programs had hands-on activities. For example, while visiting the culinary arts program, kids got to decorate a cupcake under the watchful eyes of seniors (currently enrolled in a OCVTS program) and staff members. If they visited the fashion desig n classroom, kids got to create a fashion sketch; in a green screen area, they could create a short video; and those who were interested in photography could get their passport photo taken. Dan Arnold of Barnegat brought his two sons, Ryan, 11 and Devin, 8 to see computer engineering, but stopped to

decorate a cupcake first. “We smelled the food and we couldn’t resist,” Arnold said. “My daughter attends OCVTS in Toms River, so we’re doing this so the kids could see the computer lab.” In the automotive classroom, Toms River high school junior Andria Walsh was studying a wheel alignment schematic. “I plan to attend the University of NW Ohio for high-performance motor sports,” she said. “A friend introduced me to cars in my freshman year and I have a passion for it.” OCVTS also offers three full-time academies, seven accelerated programs for adults, and several hundred adult evening classes, including cooking, ﬁtness, computer skills and much more. During the Career Discovery Day, the Academy of Law and Public Safety held police arrest procedures with the help of the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department K-9 unit. In the robotics lab, High School seniors Joe Caﬁero of Lacey, Matthew Posemato of Bayville, Sierra Reilly of Lacey and John Tirpak-Winters of Forked River were demonstrating the basics of robotics and computer modeling programs to dozens of interested students during the event. The day also featured face painting, nail art, games, prizes and much more. To learn more about programs offered by OCVTS, visit OCVTS.org.

Continued From Page 1 that role, retired late in 2018 and the township is seeking to hire her replacement. The township is also looking at the hiring of a public safety director to assist the police chief with certain administrative duties. Reina’s ticket for re-election included two council candidates, Andrew Kern and Alexander Sauickie III. Both were sworn in during the meeting surrounded by their families as Kisty administered the oath of ofﬁce. Kisty, the former, deputy clerk, assumed her new role during the council’s Dec. 18 meeting replacing retiring Township Clerk Ann Marie Eden. She previously served as the township’s planning board secretary. Kisty said that Eden was “the best teacher ever.” The meeting was largely ceremonial but it set a tone for change. There was new leadership in the roles of council president and council vice president. Council President Ken Bressi relinquished the gavel to Robert Nixon after he nominated him for the position. Nixon served as council vice president in 2018. Bressi had served as council president for the last three years. Barry Calogero was approved as vice president for the new year. “We have a good turnout here tonight and we have new blood coming in,” Bressi said. “I’m looking forward to it as I pass the torch to Rob. We will continue to look at improving the quality of life in Jackson. We get a lot of work done by working together.” Kern thanked his family for their understanding during his time campaigning last fall and thanked

Reina for his service and noted his high vote count served as an endorsement of the direction the town was going in. “I will work diligently in this role,” Kern said. He thanked Bressi for his leadership during the campaign and his running mate. Kern also thanked Reina for his work as mayor “since 2009 and his strong ﬁscal management. Jackson is a good place to raise a family and retire.” Kern also spoke about the various community organizations that Jackson hosts and urged volunteers from the community to join those groups. “How do I follow that?” Sauickie joked when it was his turn to speak. “I want to thank all the residents who put their faith in me. Andy is my buddy. I’m here for Jackson and I’m here for life. I have no political aspirations beyond this room,” Sauickie said. Calogero also thanked the mayor “on his outstanding victory and I am looking forward to working with you and our two new council members to make Jackson a great place to live. I’d also like to thank Ken Bressi for his work.” Nixon thanked the family members present during the respective oaths of office. “They (family members) support all of us. We put in some late nights out of the house. This is a call of service,” Nixon said. Nixon added that “we do this for the 56,000 people here. We were elected to stand up and be their voices. The mayor’s victory of that enormity was a request by them to move forward and steer the town in the right direction.” As to the council’s newest members, Nixon said he had predicted their eventual placement on the dais years ago when seeing them on the planning board. He advised them to always be prepared.

Food, health screenings, ﬂu shots, clothing, hygiene items and other donations and referrals to other services will be available. In addition to these locations, volunteers will seek out homeless people where they dwell. Last year, NJCounts 2018 reported 9,303 men, women and children who were homeless on the night of Jan. 23, 2018. This was an increase of 771 from 2017, according to a press release. In Ocean County, there were 311 people experiencing homelessness in 2018. Of those, 52 were identiﬁed as chronically homeless. This number might be impacted this year by a number of other factors, according to NJCounts. The current federal shutdown will put government employees at risk of missing rent or mortgage and might cause them to lose their home. Additionally, federal programs are lacking funding that would normally help people who are at risk, causing them to slip closer to being homeless. Other reasons that the count might be higher include less funding for affordable rental housing, and the increasing cost of health insurance and treatments. The count is mandated by the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development. The government uses these numbers to determine how to distribute aid. Monarch Housing Associates is coordinating the count, and the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency funds NJCounts 2019. People who want to volunteer or donate items can email kcolhoun@oceanpartnership.org.

Farm-To-Table Restaurant Bill Signed Into Law

Capitol Comments Assemblyman Ronald Dancer 12th Legislative District, Serving Jackson

TRENTON - Hungry customers won’t have to look far for restaurants that serve Jersey Fresh foods. A bill

(A1039) sponsored by Assemblyman Ron Dancer requiring the state’s tourism division to publish on its website in-

formation about farm-to-table restaurants was signed this week by the governor. “Farm to table menu options are popular in the Garden State,” explained Dancer (R-12th). “Hungry tourists enjoy foods that come from nearby family farms,

but finding that information hasn’t been easy. Now it’s literally at their fingertips.” A January 2018 state Agriculture Department survey found that 72 percent of consumers indicated a stronger preference for local food labeled Jersey

Fresh – an all-time high. “Jersey Fresh and tourism are perfect together,” Dancer continued. “It’s a winning combination. By bringing in more visitors, sales and tax revenue increases and that ultimately gives our state a new competitive

edge.” Food and agriculture are New Jersey’s third largest industry. In 2017, the state’s 9,000 farms generated sales totaling more than $1 billion, according to the state Department of Agriculture.

Reinforcing Our Fight Against Global Anti-Semitism From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. Rep. Chris Smith (R-4 th) reintroduced critical bipa r t isa n leg islat ion to provide the U.S. St ate Depar t ment with more diplomatic tools and support to combat the global rise in anti-Semitism. “We are seeing a precipitous rise in anti-Semitism around the world,

manifested through acts of violence against Jews and synagogues, insults, slurs, threats, and criticism of Israel that meets the criteria of what Soviet refusenik and religious prisoner Natan Sharansky called the ‘three Ds’: demonization, double-stand a rd , a nd de -leg it i m iz at ion ,” s a id Sm it h , a

co-chair of the Bipartisan Congressional Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism. “T he U.S. must be a world leader in standing against this menace, and my legislation would help us redouble our effor ts to fight global anti-Semitism.” Smith’s legislation - the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism Act (HR 221) - upg r a de s t he p osit ion of Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semit ism at t he St at e D e pa r t ment, a leadersh ip

position created and required by Smith’s original provisions of the Global A nt i- Sem it ism Review Act of 2004. The provisions also created the Ofﬁce to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism at the State Department. Smith’s bill would also mandate the timely nomination of a Special Envoy, as the position has been vacant for over 700 days and was empty for long periods in previous administrations. “Now is the time to ﬁll this position and provide all the support necessary to carry out this all-important

mission,” Smith said. “The eyes of the world are looking to us to be the leader in the ﬁght against anti-Semitism.” At a glance, under Smith’s bill, the Special Envoy position: Would be elevated to the ran k of A mbassador at the State Department and report directly to the Secretary of State; Would be the primary advisor to the U.S. government in monitoring and combating anti-Semitism; Wou ld not b e s a d d le d with duties irrelevant to combating anti-Semitism,

or “double-hatted”; Must be filled (if vacant) by requiring the president t o nom i n at e a Sp e cia l Envoy within 90 days of the bill becoming law and not later than 120 days after the position becomes vacant. Sm it h was joi ned by or ig i nal cosponsors of the legislation Reps. Brad Schneider (D-IL), House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D-NY), Peter King (RN Y), Marc Veasey (DTX), Lee Zeldin (D-NY), Nita Lowey (D-NY), and Key Granger (R-TX).

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

E DITORIAL Resolve To Use Social Media Better I’ve seen a few friends make New Year’s Resolutions to quit Facebook or social media in general. (I fully expect them to come back by March.) Social media, and Facebook in particular, can be fun and useful, providing you use it right. Don’t share anything too private. Don’t feed the trolls. Have you ever heard anyone say: “My opinion completely changed after that argument I had online with a

complete stranger.” Don’t share or click on clickbait. You can usually tell by the headline that it’s going to lead nowhere. Don’t share memes about important subjects. They’re pointless unless they’re jokes about TV shows or something like that. If you cut down on those bad habits, your experiences on social media will be greatly improved.

and effort to attend training and to reach out to state and federal lawmakers on behalf of their communities’ children.” Since the first School Board Recognition Month in New Jersey in 2002, the State Board of Education, the state-level public body that regulates public education, has approved resolutions to honor the work done by local school board members. “Local school boards oversee their communities’ education programs and work with chief school administrators to set goals for our children’s education,” said Al Miller, president of the Monmouth County School Boards Association. “With more than 5,000 men

Pipeline Project Needed I am submitting this letter in hopes that my fellow community members recognize the need for natural gas projects like Williams’ Northeast Supply Enhancement. The urgency for clean energy continues to grow. We need the NESE project to match this demand. I’ve been fortunate enough to gain a well-rounded understanding of the energy crisis in the Northeast both by having a career in the industr y and by having friends who oppose pipelines. Having a solid knowledge base and listening to differing opinions has led me to the conclusion that reliable and clean energy is the most sensible option for

1. To Editor drum up fear to name a few financial our future. No one canTo deny Either: Letters The that the NESE project is expected to transport enough natural gas to serve more than 2 million homes and businesses in the Northeast. Being an environmentally conscientious person, I know meeting this need with natural gas is a better alternative to burning oil or coal. In addition to being environmentally beneficial, I know the NESE will be a fantastic asset for this region by driving economic beneﬁts and bringing nearly 3,000 jobs to our local communities. That means families and businesses will beneﬁt. As a resident of the Northeast, it’s hard not to support a project that has such a positive impact on my community. I sincerely hope that my friends and neighbors will take a close look and ultimately join me in supporting this important project. Peter Collins Jackson

Violence By Americans Worse Than Perceived Threat By Immigrants For all those people who support a shutdown for a border wall, you better understand why people like me will be perfectly okay with a long term shutdown. Will people suffer? Yes, but suffering is a relative term. I can guarantee you that there is unimaginable suffering going on that wall supporters, and the public at large fail to see. Allow me to help you understand. There are two different types of people who support a wall and there are two different reasons.

for political advantage or 2. because they bought into the fear that people coming across the border will be violent, or mooch off tax dollars and destroy our economy. Let me ﬁll you in on a secret. The monster of violence and destruction you fear is already within our borders. The economic drain on our society is already here. The root causes are born here, not abroad. Bullets within our borders are not only killing Americans at an alarming rate, but people who survive gunshot wounds are falling into our severely strained safety net and being labeled welfare queens. Let’s do the math shall we. Each day 246 people are shot and survive. For every shooting when someone lives... 1. Individuals lose wages. 2. The state and federal government lose tax revenue from lost wages. 3. Life saving and sustaining medical treatment is utilized by a person who is now incapacitated. One incident can quickly consume millions of dollars of care in a very short amount of time. 4. Each victim will most likely qualify and receive Medicaid, Social Security Disability and perhaps other state services. 5. Family members will have lost wages to care for victims. 6. Family resources will be depleted, sending more families and children into poverty. 7. Long term complications and ongoing care will continue to deplete public resources. Lead poisoning complications/treatment, personal care attendants, adaptive equipment, specialized transportation and long ter m nursing care

burdens. 8. The cost of trauma on victims is immeasurable, especially when they are retraumatized after EVERY news re por t of a shooting. 9. The cost of our soul as a nation when one’s manmade right to bear arms or campaign dollars from the NRA...weighs in as more important than the lives of dead victims or victims whose lives hang in the balance. Economists have been unable to put a cost valuation on this issue, but they need to. Some estimates are up over $100 billion. For me personally, I see it as this... one bullet that cost a gun owner $0.32 ...cost you, the taxpayer, millions of dollars the very fi rst year of the injury. Multiply that by 246 people and multiply it again by 365 days per year. Then figure out how many years you want to calculate for and multiply by that number too! Was it worth the sale of the 32 cent bullet? Whatever figure you end up with...I can guarantee you it costs victims and families much, much more. America has an internal hemorrhage that is silently killing us from within. Only recently has the internal damage begun to cause symptoms as we cough up the blood of dead children in schools. Wall proponents are all worried about the superficial f lesh wound. Sorry, we need to triage this nation. Your concerns will have to wait in the waiting room. Hunker down, this might take a while. So no... Not one dollar for your wall...fix America first! Jean Czarkowski Toms River

Local Girls Scouts Kicking Off Annual Cookie Sale

–Photos courtesy Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore Photo Caption (Brandon.jpg): In 2018, Marisa Brandon, a 10th Grade Girl Scout from Howell sold 5,021 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies, over 2,000 more than any other Girl Scout in Monmouth or Ocean County. By Kimberly Bosco FARMINGDALE – Be sure to have your wallets at the ready because Girl Scout cookies are coming your way! The Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore will launch the 2019 Girl Scout Cookie season on January 11. Girl scouts throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties will be taking orders through January 27. It doesn’t stop there! Girl Scout Cookie booths will set up purchasing locations outside more than 1,000 areas businesses starting February 22. “The annual Girl Scout Cookie program is the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world,” said Eileen Higgins, CEO, Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore. “It starts with a cookie, but our Girl Scouts get the skills to grow up and become the next generation of female leaders.” Girl scouts will be offering up our favorites, including Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs and Do-Si-Dos, Trefoils, Savannah Smiles, Girl Scout S’mores, and the gluten-free Toffee-tastic. Each box sold is a step in the right direction for our local girl scouts. According to The Hirl Scouts of the Jersey Shore, over 50 percent of female entrepreneurs and business owners are Girl Scout alums, having gained essential business

skills through their participation in the annual Girl Scout Cookie Sale. The Girl Scout Cookie Sale helps to teach these young girls essential skills and experiences such as leadership, travel, adventure, science, technology, engineering, and even math. According to a recent Girl Scout Research Institute study, the program also provides various benefits, finding that two out of three girls who participate in the program learn goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics, while supporting themselves and their communities. “Proceeds from the Girl Scout Cookie Program stay local,” said Higgins. “When a customer buys a box of delicious cookies from a Girl Scout, they’re making a direct impact in our community.” For more infor mation on the Girl Scout Cookie Program in Monmouth and Ocean counties, visit gsfun.org/ GirlScoutCookies.

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.

Listen Up There is so much that hearing aids can do to improve your ability to hear. The rest is up to you. There are a number of strategies you should use to better your chances of hearing well in difficult listening environments. They require considering the sort of situation that you will be in and taking the necessary steps to make it a more listener-friendly environment. Reduce Background Noise Make sure to create the best listening environment wherever you go. Loud music and televisions can be turned down if they are competing with someone for your attention. At restaurants, ask for a quiet table. At a friend’s house, suggest that the conversation be moved into another room if kids are playing games nearby. At the office, move away from the air-conditioning unit when you are trying to have a conversation. Find A Good Spot Position yourself in a room where you minimize the distance between yourself and the speaker. When in a group, seat yourself in the center where you can see and hear everyone. In a large group listening situation, show up early so that you can choose a good position in the front of the room. Turn The Lights On To the extent that you can, make sure the room is well lit. In rooms with poor lighting, find a bright area and ask the speaker to stand there.

Plan Ahead If you know that you will be in a particularly difficult listening environment, take some steps beforehand to make sure that you will not be wasting your time by showing up. You can always call ahead of time and talk to someone who knows the environment in which you will be. Are there quiet tables? Is there front-row seating available? Will there be a light shining on the speaker? In a large group listening situation (such as a place of worship or a concert), call ahead to see if assisted listening devices will be made available. These devices transmit sound through a special receiver that you wear, reducing the loss of clarity that occurs when the sound travels a distance through the air. Ask For It Do not be afraid to politely but firmly assert your needs. Call out from the audience for the speaker to talk into the microphone. If un-amplified questions are being asked by audience members, ask that the questions be repeated by the speaker before being answered. If you are in a restaurant where the music is too loud, ask your waiter if it is possible to turn the volume down so that you can better hear your companion. If need be, ask people to face you head-on when they speak to you. People will appreciate your candor and your hearing will benefit tremendously.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His ofﬁces are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

6 Startling Reasons To Be Less Nice This Year

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Do you currently strive to be super human, always loving, kind, generous, giving? Do you demand this of yourself, in all of your relationships? Inside you may feel resentful, burnt out and unappreciated. Depending on how nice you are, you might experience insomnia, depression, minor compulsions or phobias, resentment, nagging aches and pains, autoimmune problems or chronic infections. I propose that in 2019, you be less nice. Nice often includes the following: • Don’t interrupt a person, even if they’re boring. • Always compliment, don’t tell the truth. • Text back within 15 minutes. • Like everyone’s facebook post even if you don’t. • Let the neighbor’s dog urinate and kill your lawn. • Don’t say a word about her drinking. • Don’t scold your son, even if he’s obnoxious and deserves it. • Let your co-worker pile more on your desk, and take credit for it. • Say yes to everything! You’re nice right? Saying no, or calling someone out is not nice. I submit to you that I am not a nice person. I propose that in 2019, you be less nice as a method of improving your health and mental well-being. It’s a good resolution, and one that you can actually stick to. Let’s go over the 6 Startling Beneﬁts of Not being nice: 1. You have more time. When you stop saying yes to doing things and going places that don’t bring you enjoyment, you regain precious time in your own schedule. Remember, people’s agenda are most important to them, but as they try to claim your time, once that time is spent by you, it’s literally gone forever. 2. You will have more energy. It’s liberating sometimes, especially when you are disconnecting from a situation, person, job or relationship that has

been weighing on you for years. On the days that you feel overly tired, or spent, ask yourself, “What is on my agenda, or who am I meeting with today that is weighing me down?” 3. You will feel empowered. Have you ever wished your time was spent doing something different, but it was too late? You have the power to say yes or no, as well as the power to decide what to do with your time. It’s not infinite so spend it wisely. When you say NO to someone else’s plan for you, you are simultaneously saying YES to your own plan. 4. You’ll feel less anxiety and sleep better. When you spend months in frustration mode, or ruminate, you figuratively chew something in your mind over and over. Every thought you have squirts out a chemical that locks you into “sympathetic” alarm. This blunts your parasympathetic nervous system, the ones that allow you to rest and digest. 5. You’ll develop stronger relationships. You’ll lose friends, you might become estranged from siblings so don’t be surprised. I’ve warned you. People don’t like to cut off from their source of help, their battering board, or their support system. Being less nice will ultimately translate to stronger relationships, as people will like you for who you are. 6. Your schedule becomes more reliable. Nice people have erratic schedules because they jump to it when others are in need. When you become ‘not nice’ and stop agreeing to someone’s sudden whim for you, or perceived emergency, your schedule suddenly becomes more reliable, decluttered and more efficient. So, at this point let me ask you, can you be less nice this year? Being warm, enthusiastic, upbeat, affirming and kind is important. I used to be a saint, but full disclosure… I’ve put down my crown! It’s exhausting. Go to suzycohen.com and sign up for my newsletter and I will send you everything you need to do, say and read in order to reclaim your life.

Despite admitting that he owed taxes for each of these years, Gilmore made no estimated tax payments and failed to pay the federal individual income taxes that he owed. “Rather, between January 2014 and December 2016, Gilmore spent more than $2.5 million on personal expens-

By Dec. 31, 2016, based on the tax due and owing that Gilmore reported on the returns, he owed the IRS $1,520,329 in taxes, penalties, and interest,” a U.S. Attor ney New Jersey District off ice Jan. 10 press release said. If convicted, Gilmore may face up to 3 years for each count of filing a false tax return, up to 5 years for each count of failing to collect payroll taxes, and 30 years for loan application fraud. He also faces a fine from $250,000 to $1 million.

He will be arraigned at a date to be determined. Gilmore’s law firm did work for a number of local governing bodies. Some of these were subpoenaed by investigators. In February of 2017, Micromedia Publications reached out to some of the local towns to find out if they had been subpoenaed. Some responded, some did not. Berkeley’s attorney, Lauren Staiger, who works for Gilmore and Monahan, said in January of 2017 that the town was served a subpoena seeking townsh ip records such as cont racts a nd bills relating to the law firm, and their

corresponding council resolutions and minutes of those meetings. Bay Head had been subpoenaed. Eagleswood uses Gilmore and Monahan. However, they did not receive any subpoenas as of February of 2017. Jackson Township, Lacey Township, Plumsted Township all were subpoenaed. Manchester Board of Education had used Thomas Monahan, the other half of the firm, but they reported that they were not subpoenaed. The boards of education for Bay Head, Point Pleasant, and Toms River all replied that they did not receive a subpoena. - Chris Lundy contributed to this story

Managing Osteoarthritis with Physical Therapy By: Candice Brockel, DPT

n order for our body to move, we have bony connections called joints that are attached by tendons and ligaments. Covering the end of each bone within the joint is a smooth and ﬂexible tissue called cartilage. This tissue provides protection, reduces shock, and decreases friction between the two bones during movement. WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS? Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disorder in which there is progressive destruction of the articular cartilage. Due to the loss of the cartilage, the joint space becomes narrow allowing the bone ends to rub together. This creates pain and may lead to further damage such as bone deformity or bone spur formation.

HOW DO I GET OSTEOARTHRITIS? The cause of primary osteoarthritis is unknown, however, there are factors that may increase your risk for this condition. These include age, gender, past injury/ trauma, obesity/ weight gain, leg length discrepancy, and sports or occupations that place repetitive stress on the joint. There are even theories of genetic factors leading to primary osteoarthritis. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, and is usually more common in women than men over the age of 50. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? Osteoarthritis is characterized by joint stiffness and pain, generally affecting large, weight bearing joints. Typically, the joint involvement is often asymmetrical. In other words, the complaint of pain is usually worse on one side than the other. Many people report feeling or hearing joint noises such as crunching, crackling, or clicking with movement, not always associated with

pain. The stiffness is usually felt in the morning or after prolonged periods of rest, which improves with movement. Other symptoms include increased pain by the end of the day and pain during/after activity, relieved by rest. At the late stages of the disease, you may experience pain even at rest. Limitations in strength and joint range of motion become apparent as well as noticeable joint deformities due to cartilage destruction and joint space narrowing. Inflammation is not a primary characteristic of this disease but may be seen in the late stages due to bone trauma. HOW IS IT DIAGNOSED? Osteoarthritis is diagnosed by X-ray results assessed by your physician. Clinical findings of symptoms can also provide a good insight for diagnosis. HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP? While physical therapy cannot change the damage that has already been done, it can help manage your symptoms to improve activities of daily living. Within our joints there is a substance called synovial fluid, which lubricates and provides nutrients to our cartilage. Because cartilage has no blood supply when it is damaged there is no way for it to regenerate. However, when we move our joints, synovial fluid is produced. Therefore, it is vital that we get our joints moving to provide extra protection and lubrication to the already damaged area, which as a result, decreases pain and improves mobility. When coming to physical therapy your physical therapist will first perform an evaluation to get the history of your condition and identify limitations or restrictions with your movement through an objective assessment. Since the progression and symptoms of osteoarthritis are different for each person, your therapist will create an individualized exercise program specific for your needs. In general, your therapist will give you exercises in your pain free range to help promote synovial fluid production. It is also important to decrease the stress/ forces placed on your joint by increasing the strength of the surrounding muscles. Depending on the severity of the disease, activity modification and proper instruction on the use of an assistive device may also be needed for pain relief. Along with therapeutic exercises, your therapist can provide hands-on techniques to improve joint function. In addition, certain modalities such as hot packs, cold packs, and electric stimulation can be provided to help ease your pain. You will also be given a customized home exercise program, which together with your attendance in physical

therapy will become key to improving your symptoms and slowing the disease progression. So why wait? If you are diagnosed with osteoarthritis or experiencing the symptoms described above, get up, lubricate those joints, and see what the skilled physical therapists at All-Care Physical Therapy Center can do for you.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE You’ll Never Be Left High And Dry As Long As Dr. Choxi is By Your Side By Michael Vandenberg “There’s always some kind of suppor t available,” for patients struggling with pain, Dr. Sarah Choxi told me in a recent discussion. If you, like many of Garden State Medical Center’s new patients, have been told by other doctors that nothing could be done to alleviate your suffering, it’s time to think again. When you combine the vast treatment options available at GSMC with Dr. Choxi and the rest of their pain management specialists (including founder Dr. Dharam Mann), that negativity simply doesn’t stand a chance. After all, her interest in helping people has driven her throughout her education and career. She decided to specialize in anesthesiology and interventional pain management because she saw how much those fields could change lives. “It was a way to help patients improve quality of life,” said Dr. Choxi. “It can be really difficult for people when they have pain to go through their normal day by day activities. So it was really impor tant to me as a medical student, later on as a resident, and now as an attending to be able to restore their function and have very independent lives.” People who have conditions that can’t be solved or are difficult to solve deserve the ability to be happy and painfree. Formerly at the Universit y of Chicago, Dr. Choxi was drawn to GSMC’s same focus, as well as the innovative tools it has to make it happen. “It’s a very multi-dimensional perspective on man-

aging pain,” she said. Their solutions include medication management, injections, spinal cord stimulators, and countless others that have been proven safe and ef fective. Of tentimes a combination of techniques works best. “Patients aren’t cookie cutter. They’re very unique and individual. So I think you need to have a plan in place that caters to their specific needs.” Garden State Medical Center has always been on the cutting edge, so it’s only natural for them to have so much under their umbrella. If Dr. Choxi thinks you need to see a rheumatologist, don’t start looking at next month’s calendar; you can see one of her rheumatologist colleagues in-house in a matter of days. She’ll probably even share her notes with them on their stateof-the-art electronic database, which will also help you to stay informed about your own care. Being in-the-know about the options available to you is an important part of the culture at GSMC. Dr. Choxi remembers one patient in particular who was desperate for answers. She had heel surgery and, although When she saw the pa- granted. Recently she it had physically healed, tient, she told her, “No went to a flea market with she was still feeling a matter what, we’ll fig- her husband and could ton of pain. Unfortunately, ure this out together.” Dr. actually just walk around the surgeon had been Choxi gave her options: for a couple hours and enjoy herself. Previously, dismissive, telling her five to be exact. The patient decided anything longer than ten that there was no reason to go with minutes used to be una n i n j e c - bearable. “I’m finally able tion called to just enjoy the weather a s y m p a - outside,” the patient told thetic nerve her. “I’m so glad that you block, and could give me options j u s t l i k e and I know that I can t h a t s h e trust you.” Trust in a doctor gives for her to be feeling dis- achieved 90 percent recomfort. “She felt a little lief. It was a life-changing patients the courage to pushed around by him difference, giving her pursue the treatment and sort of just pushed the ability to experience they feel most comfortout the door,” Dr. Choxi basic joys again in ways able with. Luckily, after remembered her saying. lots of people take for Dr. Choxi gives you the

most effective and safest options, she’s happy let you make the ultimate choice. Unfamiliar with how some of these methods work? She’ll happily go over everything with you at length and answer any questions. In addition, GSMC has models in every room to help patients visualize what doctors are describing. There are even televisions in all the ofﬁces with videos that give patients a full rundown of procedures and illustrations on how they’re performed. It ’s all bec ause Dr. Choxi’s patients “know

that they ’re going to get the care they de serve”. To get started, call 1-888-376-2661 today to schedule an appointment, or feel free to visit gsmedicalcenter. org to learn more on the procedures Garden State Medical Center provides. Dr. Choxi currently practices at 780 Route 37 West, Suite 110 and 1314 Hooper Avenue, Building B, Suite 101 in Toms River; 1100 Route 70, Entrance A in Whiting; 1608 Route 88, Suite 102 in Brick; and 100 Route 36, Suite #1K in West Long Branch.

Inside The Law Drone Rules: What Are The Rules When Flying Drones For Fun?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Michael Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

Fly for Fun under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft! You don’t need permission from the FAA to fly your UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, but you must always fly safely. You may elect to register your UAS to help in the recovery of lost equipment, but this is not required. The FAA has adopted the following UAS Safety Guidelines: • Fly at or below 400 feet • Be aware of airspace requirements and restrictions • Stay away from surrounding obstacles • Keep your UAS within sight • Never fly near other aircraft, especially near airports • Never fly over groups of people • Never fly over stadiums or sports events • Never fly near emergency response efforts such as fires • Never fly under the influence of drugs or alcohol Flying under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft The Special Rule for Model Aircraft (P.L. 112-95, Section 336) provides the definition and operating rules for flying a model aircraft. Model aircraft operators that comply with all of these operational requirements during flight do not have to register their UAS with the FAA. Model aircraft operators must follow these rules to fly under this Rule: • The aircraft is flown strictly for hobby or recreational use (once you start earning money from the use of the drone you have removed yourself from this exception); • The aircraft is operated in accordance with a community-based set of safety guidelines and within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization; • The aircraft is limited to not more than 55 pounds unless otherwise certified through a design, construction, inspection, flight test, and operational safety program administered

by a community-based Michael J. Deem organization; • The aircraft is operated in a manner that does not interfere with and gives way to any manned aircraft; and • When flown within 5 miles of an airport, the operator of the aircraft provides the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower (when an air traffic facility is located at the airport) with prior notice of the operation (model aircraft operators flying from a permanent location within 5 miles of an airport should establish a mutually-agreed upon operating procedure with the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower [when an air traffic facility is located at the airport]) A model aircraft is defined as an unmanned aircraft that is capable of sustained flight in the atmosphere, flown within visual line of sight of the person operating the aircraft and flown for hobby or recreational purposes. UAS Registration. If you do not operate exclusively under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, you must: Register your UAS if it weighs more than 0.55 pounds and less than 55 pounds Label your UAS (PDF) with your registration number and Read and understand all safety guidelines Registration costs $5 and is valid for 3 years. If you are flying under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft and you wish to register voluntarily, you should register as a “modeler.” If you are flying under part 107, Section 333, part 91, a public COA, or for non-recreational purposes in general, you should register as a “non-modeler.” In order to register, you must be: • 13 years of age or older (if the owner is less than 13 years of age, a person 13 years of age or older must register the small unmanned aircraft) • A U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Certain Foods Can Help Us Stay Calm

Dear Readers: We have all had our days where anger seems to take over. We lash out at the ones we love and feel guilty afterward. They don’t happen too often, here’s hoping, and we usually apologize and forgive (the alternative is to hold a grudge, and feel sad and depressed). It is important to recognize that if this is persistent it could be a disorder of some kind. That being said there are foods that can actually help us in staying calm. I loved this and wanted to share: Kiwis - Kiwis are ﬁlled with Vitamin C and actually contain more Vitamin C per fruit than oranges. (Who would a thunk?) Pumpkin Seeds - Thought that they were only popular during the Halloween season? Think again, pumpkin seeds are eaten by Americans all year through. They are ﬁlled with Magnesium. They also reduce the effects of anxiety, a known killer to our health. Leafy Vegetables - Another goody loaded with magnesium. Americans enjoy eating iceberg lettuce but there are so many more leafy vegetables now available that are loaded in healthy stuff.

Finally, chamomile tea is almost as good as a kiss good night. It is a great and healthy way to end the day (it is related to the Daisy family) and a nightly cupful can reduce the day’s stress. And for my male readers I am not sure of the nutritional beneﬁts to women but Brazil nuts have a reputation of raising the libido. Now that sounds simple. You can ﬁnd them in better supermarkets throughout the entire year. They are available without the shell. I especially enjoyed sharing this information in that it is an inexpensive way of reducing stress and anxiety. It is important to remember that if allergies or medications are of concern, please consult your doctor. Wishing you a great week with less stress. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator. The class will discuss the following: • How breastfeeding works • Establishing a good milk supply • How to get your baby to latch • How to know if your baby is getting enough milk • Positions for breastfeeding • When and where to get support • How to choose a breast pump

Returning to work and maintaining your milk supply Common challenges, and more “We are very excited about this program and the chance to help remove obstacles to obtaining high-level, evidence-based lactation support in the county,” said Patricia High, Ocean County Health Department Assistant Public Health Coordinator. “Allow the OCHD professionals to help give you the best instruction and guide you through the nursing process because the more education you get now the better equipped you’ll be at home with your baby.” This class is free, but registration is required.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jan 19 - jan 25 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Travel can broaden the mind and invigorate the spirit. This is a good week to begin an educational project or join a sports team. Put a romantic relationship on the back burner and focus on group events. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be fair if you dare. In the week ahead, you may easily disrupt someone’s expectations. If you concentrate on being fair-minded and exercise good sportsmanship in a key relationship, everything will be fine. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Downshift to low gear. Those in close connection will be more forgiving and more likely to unwind if you slow down the pace and are less judgmental. You may find ways to offer apologies in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t pass up a party or any other opportunity to dress up and mingle with others in a lighthearted venue. Helpful and interesting new connections could widen your scope of influence in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Demonstrate solidarity. As this week unfolds you might be drawn to people with similar backgrounds, interests and ideas. You may enjoy sociable group activities to alleviate the stresses and strains of responsibilities. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Hang out with the “in” crowd. You have heard the saying, “you are known by the company you keep.” During the week ahead, you may find new friends in the workplace who improve your sense of self-worth. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Heal the rift. You

may be overly concerned with how others react to you in the week ahead. If you are forgiving, and use logic rather than emotions, you can turn a minor misunderstanding into a closer connection. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The path of true love is not without bumps, but some days it is smooth as silk. Whatever barred your way is in the past and headway is possible. Apologies will be accepted, and peace can be restored this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be respectful of other people’s opinions and they will be respectful of yours. The week ahead may be fraught with misunderstandings, but a willingness to forgive and compromise will smooth things over. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Have gumption and travel. You can explore new ideas or places in the week to come if you are brave enough to step out of a self-imposed cage. Enjoy an upsurge of creativity and use imagination in the workplace. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): To please your friends and make your moneymaking ideas a reality your creative side must work overtime. A bubbling brook of provocative ideas may need more polishing before being presented this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Navigate a network of new acquaintances in the week to come. Your work may put you in contact with people who appreciate your skills. Avoid spending your hard-earned cash money on unnecessary items.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Send Winter’s Cold Packing With A Hearty, Heartwarming Soup By Wolfgang Puck

In the middle of winter, my mind and appetite often turn toward soup. A hearty bowlful feels warming and sustaining from the moment you see and smell it until long after it fills your stomach. And a big pot of soup simmering on the stove promises everyone in your home that delicious, satisfying food is on the way and guaranteed to put an end to your shivers on the chilliest winter day. The winter soup I’d like to share with you is my variation on a French soup you’ve probably heard of: leek and potato soup. But unlike that country classic, this soup includes much more leek - a milder-tasting cousin of the onion - than it does potato. In fact, the ordinary baking potato included in the recipe largely plays a role of thickener for the soup, as well as providing a mild-tasting counterpoint to the leeks. But the real twist to this recipe is the packed half cup of fresh chervil leaves, which adds a touch of springtime. Just as leeks are related to onions, chervil is part of the parsley family. But its flavor is noticeably milder than parsley, and its leaves are more delicate looking and sometimes slightly paler in color. Nibble on a leaf or two and you might also notice that the herb even tastes faintly like anise or licorice - not so much that you would at all think of it as a sweet flavor, but just enough to make some people eating the soup pause briefly and say to themselves, “What is that flavor?” If you’ve never tried chervil before, you may be surprised to find that it’s available in the produce sections of many wellstocked supermarkets. You can grow it yourself, too, even in an indoor window herb garden and add it to salads and other soups. Or you may want to use it as a delicate garnish for French style omelets or scrambled eggs. In case the word “cream” at the start of the recipe that follows makes you pause to wonder if it’s a very rich soup, let me hurry to explain that it mostly describes the creamy consistency of the soup. But, yes, there is some actual cream included as well. At only 1 cup (250 mL) for 8 servings, though, that works out to just 2 tablespoons (60 mL) per serving. Serve the soup as a first course for any winter meal. Or make it your main dish, accompanied by crusty bread and a salad. If you like, you can even serve it cold come springtime, or dress up the hot or cold version for a special occasion by garnishing it with shaved white truffle or a spoonful of caviar. For such a simple recipe, it’s very versatile indeed! CREAM OF LEEK AND CHERVIL SOUP Serves 6 to 8

10 cups (2.5 L) good-quality low-sodium canned chicken stock or broth 3 large leeks 1 baking potato, 6 to 8 ounces (185 to 250 g) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 cup (250 mL) heavy cream 1/2 cup (125 mL) packed fresh chervil leaves Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper Freshly squeeze lemon juice Put the stock or broth in a large pot, and bring it to a boil over high heat. Adjust the heat and continue boiling steadily until the liquid reduces to about half its original volume. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Trim the leeks, cutting off the root ends and the tough dark-green leaves. Carefully cut the leeks in half lengthwise, and rinse thoroughly under cold running water to remove all sand or grit from between the leaves. Cut the leeks crosswise into 1/4inch (6-mm) slices. Peel the potato, and cut it into quarters. Cut the quarters crosswise into 1/4-inch (6-mm) slices. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes longer. Stir in the reduced stock or broth. Bring to a boil over high heat. Then, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the leeks and potato are very soft, about 45 minutes. While the vegetables are simmering, put the cream in a small saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and continue boiling steadily, stirring frequently, until the cream has reduced by half. Set aside. When the vegetable cooking time has ended, stir all but 2 tablespoons of the chervil leaves into the pot, reserving the remainder for a garnish. Cook the vegetables and chervil for 15 minutes longer. When the vegetables are done cooking, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a food processor or blender, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Add a little of the cooking liquid to moisten the vegetables and puree them; then, transfer the puree to a bowl while processing or blending any remaining batches. Return the puree to the rest of the soup’s cooking liquid in the pot and stir in the reduced cream. Simmer over low heat for several minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt, white pepper and a little lemon juice. Before serving, mince the remaining chervil leaves. Ladle the soup into warmed bowls, garnish with chervil, and serve immediately.
