By Bob Vosseller PLUMSTED – Howell Township resident Steven Delcastillo came out to the recently held 10th An nual WILD Outdoor Expo, with one purpose in mind: He wanted to lear n more about his future career. Delcastillo was enjoying the event hosted by the State Department of Environmental Protection which served to
showcase, New Jersey’s outdoors and opportunities for recreational activities. The event was held on Sept. 7-8 at the Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area, 401 Hawkin Rd., New Egypt. “I’m interested in becoming a conservation police officer,” Delcastillo said. He was joined by his friend and fellow Bro okd a le C ol lege
classmate Allison Fink of Manalapan. “I also want to be a conservation officer and I like the idea of working for the community.” “I think it’s pretty cool to do what they do and work outdoors,” Delcastillo said. Around a dozen local conservation officers took part in the free expo which featured more than 100 exhibits, demonstrations and
seminars highlighting wildlife, conservation and New Jersey’s outdoors heritage. Officer Bob Driscoll was on duty near a table filled with various animal skins and a tortoise shell, all examples of items “that were confiscated over the years and had been taken illegally.

Is It Possible To Beat The Odds? September Is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
By Kimberly Bosco The NJ Lottery estimates that you have a one in about 300 million chance of claiming that Mega Millions jackpot. National Geographic estimates that you have a one in 700,000 chance of being struck by lightning in the US.
These high odds may seem wildly unlikely, yet we still buy lottery tickets and we still seek shelter from a harsh storm. As a female, the odds of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer are a strikingly low one in 78. But (Awareness - See Page 5)

Bus Stop Plan Draws Criticism By Parents
By Bob Vosseller HOWELL – The bus stops here...now! That is what parents were told a short time before the new school year began and the news was not welcome to some of them. While the new school year has been in session for a few weeks, several parents in township neighborhoods are still not happy with a new directive involving new bus stop locations. Several parents shared their concerns at a recent school board meeting. Board President Mark Bonjavanni redirected those concerns to Assistant Superintendent for business administration Ronald Sanasac. Bonjavanni did stress that each case is being examined on an individual basis and that some changes had been made before the school year started. The new bus stop plan came from two years of discussion and planning according to Bonjavanni. He told parents during the meeting that safety was the primary interest of the board but some parents expressed concern that their children were relocated to a location that was not as safe as their previous stop. The board president explained that “according to New Jersey School Boards, Howell is the only district that has (work) committees comprised of three Board Members, and also three “citizen” members.” Bonjavanni said the citizen members are “not elected; they are community members who requested to serve, and each year we place three members on the committees. Recommendations that come from a committee come from more than just Board members.” He added that the plan had “gone through a great deal of discussion. Committees make recommendations; the final vote is up to the Board as a whole,” Bonjavanni said. “The public has ample opportunity to participate in discussions,” Bonjavanni added. The bus route conversation began at least 2.5 years ago at the committee level. Reports from the committee were given at each Board meeting,” Bonjavanni said. Bonjavanni said that during the Sept. 4 meeting that a number of questions came (Bussing - See Page 4)

Expo:
Continued From Page 1 trapping state wide,” Driscoll said. Delcastillo and Fink were planning on speaking with officers’ present at the event and started their adventure at the first exhibitor tent that happened to include informational displays and evidence items by the state’s conservation police service. “This event provides a great opportunity for residents and visitors to discover new and exciting ways to enjoy the great diversity of outdoor experiences that are available in New Jersey,” DEP Commissioner Catherine R. McCabe said. McCabe added, “this also is a great opportunity for families and people of all ages to appreciate the beauty of our environment, learn about conservation, try new activities, and see some of our wildlife and aquatic life close up.” One of the expo’s highlights was a giant mobile aquarium which held a variety of warm-water game fish from the Charles O. Hayford State Fish Hatchery in Hackettstown. Casting and fishing demonstrations, as well as instructional tutorials for new anglers, also took place. In addition to the mobile aquarium, visitors sharpened their camping and backpacking skills, tested their archery skills, learned how to build a bat box, improved their tree identification skills, and observed birds of prey and reptiles up close. Other activities included nature photography and educational programs about a
variety of activities, such as fishing, kayaking, rock climbing, shooting sports and wildlife watching. New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife Director Dave Golden said, “we are very fortunate in New Jersey to have many different types of ecosystems to explore and enjoy.” “The expo provides a great opportunity for people to enhance their enjoyment of these opportunities while learning about the importance of protecting these resources for all to enjoy,” Golden said. Numerous exhibits, demonstrations and seminars focused on air, water, soil, plants, animals and history. Representatives present provided advice about fishing, hunting, scuba diving, forestry stewardship and other related subjects. The expo also included an equipment flea market offering outdoor recreation and other environmental-related products for purchase. Refreshments were available from food trucks and vendors. The two-day event also provided a showcase for forest fire prevention by members of the New Jersey Forest Fire Service who distributed materials to attendees and celebrated the 75th birthday of their well-known mascot, Smokey The Bear. A giant figure of the forest fighting bear was seen standing tall in a pickup truck next to the group’s table. Many of the activities and programs fulfilled Boy Scout and Girl Scout badge requirements. For more information about New Jersey’s wildlife management areas, visit njfishandwildlife.com/wmas.htm.
Bussing:
Continued From Page 1 from the public. He informed parents that “each site would be looked at individually, and that if we felt changes were warranted, we would address the changes. Since then, a few changes were made, after thoughtful and considerate examination.” Parents present at the Sept. 4 meeting discussed their children having to cross through sections of Route 9 and the corner of White and Conover streets where there are no sidewalks and no lighting. Another issue was the school bus being able to access a gate in one neighborhood which was the reason given for a bus stop change. Board member Cristy Mangano said she spoke to several concerned parents from the Verdana development off Route 9 near Sunnyside Road and went to inspect the conditions there. Mangano noted that there was a long gate present there and that it was a long walk and a fire zone in the area. Parents noted that in the weeks ahead, students would be dropped off by the bus in the dark and that some parents would be walking their kids to the bus stop in the dark. Insufficient information provided to parents was an issue of concern for Board member Ira Thor who said during the meeting that he had voted against it. Thor expressed the need for issues like the bus stop change to gain further public awareness and to be publicized more.
Mangano advocated for moving the stops in the interests of safety. She suggested her fellow board members visit the bus stop at the Verdana development. She brought up the observations of parents who had voiced their complaints listing glass, garbage and poor lighting in the vicinity of the bus stop. Bonjavanni said the Board “did not, and still do not, look at the original stop assigned, at the corner of Conover and White streets, as a dangerous corner or walk. In fact, after changes were made, we still have that as a stop, as there is a student who lives on Conover. The high school students from the Regional also use this stop.” “What was originally missed, though, was the thought that as many, I might say most, parents, drive their children to stops, this meant having to leave the development, turn onto Rout 9, and then turn again onto White. We recognized the issues that this might cause. The change from the stop of years ago was made because of the difficulty busses have had with entering Verdana,” Bonjavanni said. Bonjavanni said “gates that were closed at night, sometimes blocked, turns, contributed to our original share. After we heard from the community, we went back to Verdana management, and they entered into a cooperation with us. They even removed a pillar that hindered bus turns.” “Each stop has been looked at with safety as a priority, and each has been reviewed to make sure that we are comfortable with all of the current stops,” Bonjavanni said.

Awareness:
Continued From Page 1 does every woman take similar precautions to beat those odds? Does every woman get tested? The Silent Killer September is widely recognized as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in an effort to shed light on the “silent killer” that is ovarian cancer. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ovarian cancer causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. Ovarian cancer ranks in the top 10 cancers by rates of new cases, and in the top four by rates of cancer deaths, which means that “for every 100,000 women, 10 new Ovarian Cancer cases were reported and 7 died of cancer,” according to CDC data. The National Women’s Health Network calls ovarian cancer the “silent killer,” due to its non-specific symptoms and lack of early detection tests. This makes it hard to detect at the earlier stages, i.e. stage I or II. The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC) states that “when one is diagnosed and treated in the earliest stages, the five-year survival rate is over 90 percent… If caught in stage III or higher, the survival rate can be as low as 28 percent.” The NOCC added that, due to the nature of the disease, it is nearly impossible to provide a generalized prognosis for any and all women diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
The Howell Times, September 28, 2019, Page 5 Strong-Minded Survivors With such odds, you might already know or have met someone who has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Perhaps you know of a survivor, one like Stephanie LeBrocq. LeBrocq, 52, of Toms River was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in December 2018. About eight months later, she spoke with Jersey Shore Online about her disease, recovery, and hope for the future. As the NOCC stated, those diagnosed in the later stages have a slim chance of survival. Diagnosed at stage III, LeBrocq was determined to beat the odds. In April 2018, LeBrocq visited her doctor after experiencing severe pelvic pain. Pelvic pain is one of the many “non-specific” symptoms associated with ovarian cancer. Other symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, trouble eating or feeling full quickly, or feeling the need to urinate urgently or often, according to the NOCC. In June 2018, she was informed that her CA 125 (cancer antigen 125) was elevated and was advised to see an oncologist. CA 125 is a “tumor-associated protein.” Physicians can perform a CA 125 test that will allow them to measure the amount of the CA 125 protein in your blood. Ovarian cancer is one of a few certain cancers that cause CA 125 levels to increase dramatically. In September 2018, LeBrocq underwent surgery to have her fi rst ovary removed after her doctor told her it was “borderline cancerous.” In November 2018, she had a full hysterectomy.
The National Women’s Health Network noted that some forms of ovarian cancer can be successfully treated with the “removal of the ovaries and nearby reproductive organs, followed by chemotherapy to kill any remaining cancer cells. The earlier the cancer is discovered, the less extensive the surgery and the greater the chance at success.” However, early detection is key. LeBrocq’s cancer was not detected at an early enough stage, thus this method proved unsuccessful for her. In December 2018, LeBrocq received her diagnosis. Dr. ElSahwi at Ocean Medical Center diagnosed her with stage III ovarian cancer, which was invading her omentum, a part of the stomach and intestines. “I was completely devastated,” she said. Her doctor prescribed six rounds of chemotherapy which she dove into in January 2019. “One thing that helped me a lot was that Dr. ElSahwi kept telling me that I was going to be okay,” said LeBrocq. Between January and May, LeBrocq underwent chemo, which she said was extremely hard for her. Despite the pain, she worked hard to keep a positive outlook. “It literally felt like you could feel it going through your body…I don’t even know how to describe it,” she said. “It felt like I was in a fog, and nauseous.” The effects of chemo only added to her initial symptoms. LeBrocq noted that when she first went to the doctor in April, she was doubled over with pelvic pains and throwing up. “Losing my hair was the hardest, I mean,

I’m a hairdresser,” she joked. By the time May rolled around, LeBrocq had been poked and prodded countless times, lost all her hair, and made it out the other side to great news: her scans were clear. A second round of scans in August only confi rmed that LeBrocq had beaten her cancer. Now nearly five months cancer-free, LeBrocq said she “lives everyday like it’s my last.” LeBrocq, who is married with two kids, is no stranger to tragedy. Five years ago, LeBrocq lost her son. After facing what she considers the worst pain of her life, she knew she could and would beat her cancer. “I learned that life is precious and you just have to keep going,” she added. Beat The Odds LeBrocq’s advice for any women who might be experiencing “even slight symptoms,” is to “go get checked right away.” If you do not show any signs or symptoms of ovarian cancer – such as pelvic or abdominal pain, etc. – it may be a challenge to get screened for the disease. The CDC noted that when no symptoms are present, there is “no simple and reliable way” to screen for ovarian cancer. However, the CDC’s advice is this: pay attention to your body. Take stock of what is normal for your body, and pay close attention to any changes that may occur. “If you notice any changes in your body that are not normal for you and could be a (Awareness - See Page 12)

Letters To The Editor Trump Obstructing Justice Trump is a danger to our democracy. Given the overwhelming evidence Mueller presented in his report and testimony, and the willingness of this administration to let foreign powers interfere in our democracy, it’s past time Congress opened a formal impeachment inquiry. No more excuses. No more delays. The Mueller investigation found extensive criminal activity committed by Trump and his team. It resulted in 37 indictments and at least seven convictions or guilty pleas, uncovered over 10 instances of obstruction of justice by Trump himself, and revealed over 100 secret meetings and communications between his campaign and Russians and their cronies. If any other American had obstructed justice as f lagrantly as Trump has, they’d be going to jail. Our representative needs to step up now, because doing nothing will only embolden Trump to trample over our democratic norms and to keep breaking the law. Doing nothing sets a dangerous precedent for future presidents. For all of these reasons, it’s time for our representative to voice their support for a formal impeachment inquiry. Gregory A.

Parents Should Be Able To Opt Out Of LGBTQ Ed I want to thank everyone who reached out to me by e-mail or phone call to show their support for the stand I took at the August and September Barnegat Township meetings, regarding the LGBTQ Curriculum with no opt out option for our children.
Letters To have The Editor Many of you expressed I am r unning against had the opportunity to exactly what I espoused at those meetings. Our children need to be protected from the special interests whose individuals hold views contrary to what the vast majority in our community embrace. Prior to the shift that has occurred over the past 25 years, education was determined by the citizens of each local community, holding to the standards of that community. That has radically changed, highlighted with the law recently enacted under the authority of the state’s governor. The historical truth is that families, principally parents, have had the responsibility - and right - to determine how the issue of sex is presented to their children…not the government. This view was expressed by me at the meetings. In spite of the vile criticism and worse, twisted reporting by the media, the rights of parents, not government, nor the shouting opposition, still holds true and someone needed to say so. The overwhelming, private response from the members of our town confirms this. Parents want to guide their children in regards to sexual matters. They do not want to be bullied by the government, or other special interest groups, who should not have control over family matters, such as a child’s sexual education. Moving forward, the people of the State of N.J. must come together to make our legislature aware that the mainstream of the people want this reversed. Please contact your state representatives and tell them to reinstate your parental rights by repealing Senate Bill 1569. Again, I offer no apologies. Although the First Amendment seems to be shredded more and more each day, there is still enough of it left to allow me the legal right to do so. In so doing, my constituents know exactly where I stand. In closing, I am thankful to
stand-in-the-gap safeguarding the rights of parents and safeguarding the well-being of their children. It is an honor to do so. Alfonso Cirulli Mayor Barnegat Township
Watch Donations In Toms River Race I believe Toms River residents should be concerned with the unusually cozy relationship between Councilman (and candidate for mayor) Maurice “Mo” Hill and Mr. Scott Gartner - a man who has threatened to sue the town to force changes to zoning laws that sensibly restrict the construction of houses of worship. According to an article from the Asbury Park Press (June 21, 2018), Gartner threatened to sue Toms River, contending that the 10-acre zoning rules for religious buildings were “aimed at preventing the construction of Orthodox Jewish shuls (synagogues).” Gartner claimed that he and his neighbors have retained an attorney to pursue the lawsuit and have a “war chest of $500,000.” Campaign finance reports filed in recent months reveal that Hill received a $2,600 donation to his mayor’s campaign from Gar t ner, the maximu m contribution allowed by law. Councilman Hill, a former member of the Toms River land use committee (Planning Board), clearly should not be accepting campaign donations with someone who is lobbying for zoning changes. This speaks volumes about Hill’s judgment and priorities. Toms River citizens deserve an explanation. Toms River deserves better from a sitting councilman, and we certainly deserve better from someone who wants to be our mayor.
Councilman Hill for mayor in the election this November. If I am fortunate enough to be elected, I will uphold Toms River’s 10-acre zoning rules for religious buildings, which have been in place since 2009. I will not cave to special interest groups. Jonathan Petro Candidate for Toms River Mayor

Howell Teen Nominated for USA Football’s Heart Of A Giant Award
HOWELL– Township High School student Megan Friedman has been nominated for USA Football’s Heart of a Giant Award presented by Hospital for Special Surgery and the New York Giants. The sponsors of the 2019 USA Football Heart of a Giant Award announced their second set of 10 outstanding Tri-State area high school football player nominees open for voting. These students have been nominated by their coaches for their commitment, teamwork, will, character and dedication. Voting for these nominees will be open for 25 days with final vote tally determining who will be named the group’s finalist. One grand prize winner will be selected based on video submissions stating why they have the Heart of a Giant and will be honored on the field during a New York Giants’ home game. All six finalists and four honorable mention finalists will receive $1,000 for their high school’s football program, with the winner’s school getting an additional $9,000. Stephen’s coach.” Friedman, of Farmingdale attends Howell High School and to her, having the Heart of a Giant means “standing strong and always having the will to believe in yourself.” The student gained her strong will by standing
up to the people who preached “girls don’t play football.” “I knew if I showed up every day and worked as hard as I could, I could be a player equal to the boys on the field; I told myself I was playing a sport like any other athlete on the field and every day I gave it 100%,” Friedman said. Although Friedman loves football, she started her athletic career as a successful and hard-working cross country and track athlete. She was told to continue to run cross country, where she would have been named captain like the three previous years. Instead, she decided to follow her love for football. Unfortunately, while building relationships with her teammates and coaches, training, and learning more about the sport she loves, Friedman suffered season ending injuries. Head Coach Luke Sinkhorn said, “Megan has not wavered in her dedication to the team. She is at most of our events and practices outside of her physical therapy and has provided inspiration and motivation for the coaches and players to continue to work hard.” Friedman says although she won’t be playing football anymore, the will and tenacity it required is as useful a skill off the field as it was on.

Awareness:
Continued From Page 5 sign of ovarian cancer, talk to your doctor about them,” stated the CDC. Diagnostic tests used to detect or rule out ovarian cancer include a rectovaginal pelvic exam, a transvaginal ultrasound, or a CA125 blood test. Although those with family and personal histories of breast, ovarian and colon cancer are at an increased risk, the NOCC said every woman is at risk. The NOCC recommends every woman age 18 and older have an annual vaginal
exam, women age 35 and older a rectovaginal exam. Those with a higher risk for ovarian cancer should have transvaginal sonograms and CA-125 blood tests, which detect a protein produced by ovarian cancer cells, though those tests can produce false positives. Women with a family history of breast or ovarian cancers should consider genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. Those genes help suppress tumors, but when mutated, lead to an increased chance of cancer development. The National Cancer Institute advises that women should consider genetic testing if
they were diagnosed with breast cancer before age 50; they have cancer in both breasts; family members have been diagnosed with both breast and ovarian cancer; there are multiple breast cancers in one family; there are cases of male breast cancer in the family; or the family is of Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity. While these are all precautionary measures, not everyone catches the disease in time. For those women who might be embarking on a battle of their own with ovarian cancer, LeBrocq offered the following advice: “You’re going to be okay…stay strong-minded… push through it…have hope.”

A Brief Introduction to Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) By: Olivia Santa Maria, DPT WHAT IS SOFT TISSUE?
TREATED WITH IASTM?
The term “Soft tissue” refers to the fascia (connective tissue), muscles, tendons, and ligaments that make up the body. Injuries to these areas are a common cause of pain and dysfunction that causes patients to seek the assistance of a physical or occupational therapist. There are a variety of techniques used to treat these conditions, including exercise, modalities, and manual therapies. Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is one of the manual techniques a physical or occupational therapist can use to treat these injuries.
The different shapes and edges of the tools allow the clinician to use them around all of the different contours of the body, which make them useful for most conditions seen in the clinic. These tools can be used to break down scar tissue after surgery, decrease pain caused by sprains and strains to ligaments and muscles, reduce swelling/edema, and alleviate nerve restrictions. Common conditions that warrant use of IASTM treatment are joint replacements,
there may be some soreness or discomfort. It is important to not be alarmed by these symptoms, and recognize that these are temporary symptoms being closely monitored by your therapist. After several treatments, there should be a noticeable change in mobility and function. IASTM, combined with your
WHAT IS IASTM, AND WHY IS IT USED? When soft tissue injuries occur, the natural processes of the body lay down new cells to heal the injury. These cells are often laid down in a disorganized pattern and they can bind to the underlying tissues, ultimately restricting the mobility of these structures. Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization involves the use of tools to mobilize the soft tissue structures of the body. These tools come in many shapes and sizes, and are made of a variety of materials, such as stainless steel, plastic, jade, and ceramic. While the tools may differ in shape and material, they share the common purpose of assisting the clinician with mobilizing the injured soft tissue in order to reduce adhesions (scar tissue), increase blood flow to the injured area, and encourage healing of the damaged tissue. WHAT INJURIES ARE MOST COMMONLY
exercise program, can help you return to your normal daily activities and hobbies. Rotator cuff tears and surgical repairs, plantar fasciitis, muscle strains, and tendonitis. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? Your physical or occupational therapist will evaluate you at your initial visit to determine if your condition warrants the use of IASTM. This will not be the primary treatment, but rather one technique your therapist uses to assist in your recovery. The technique itself involves the clinician using the tool in a scraping motion along the surface of the skin. In order to “re-start” the healing process, your therapist is causing a micro-trauma to the injured area to encourage the body to heal itself. Therefore, temporary redness, heat sensation, and sometimes bruising are normal immediately following treatment, and

Inside The Law Time To Review Your Will
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
The beginning of a New Year is a good time to review your estate planning documents. Let’s start with your Last Will and Testament. Have you reviewed it in the last year? If not, now is a good time. First, look at the persons who you have appointed as your executor, guardian and trustee. Are those persons still capable of acting in that capacity? Are they still willing to act? Is there any reason why you would not want them to act under your Will? Review the specific bequests and devises in your Will. This is the part of the Will where you leave specific items, real estate or money to specific persons. Are those persons still worthy of receiving those assets? Are there additional persons that you want add to your Will? Do you still own the items identified in your Will? Are there any other items that you want to leave to specific persons? Review the persons named in your Will who are receiving the remainder of your estate. Are those persons still deserving of your assets? If you are leaving your estate in different percentages to your beneficiaries, are those percentages still what you want? Are they any other persons who you want to add to your Will? Are any of the persons named in your Will incapacitated or receiving governmental benefits? Perhaps the assets left to those
persons are best left in a trust. Review your Power of Attorney. Are the Marc S. Galella Esq. persons you appointed in that document still capable of acting for you? Do they still want to act on your behalf? Are there other persons who you want to name to act for you? Is there any reason why a person that you named should no longer act for you? Do you have a Power of Attorney? Maybe you did not need one the last time you prepared a Will, but maybe you should consider preparing one now. Review your Living Will. Ask yourself the same questions as your Power of Attorney. Has there been any changes in your medical conditions that would change the medical directives in your current Living Will? If after reviewing your current estate planning documents you feel that they should be changed, now is the time to discuss your concerns with an estate planning attorney. The attorneys at R. C. Shea and Associates have over 100 combined years of preparing estate planning documents. Call us to schedule an appointment to review your documents with you.

H eRe ’ s t o Y ouR H eAltH Howell Municipal Alliance Offers Mental Health First Aid Training
HOWELL – On October 5, 2019, the Howell Township Municipal Alliance will offer Mental Health First Aid Certificate training in Howell, which is open to all interested parties 18 and over. This groundbreaking, 8-hour training course provides the tools to identify when someone might be struggling with a mental health or substance use problem and to connect them with appropriate support and resources when necessary. One in five Americans has a mental illness, but many are reluctant to seek help or might not know where to turn for care. Unlike physical conditions, symptoms of mental health and substance use problems can be difficult to detect. For friends and family members, it can be hard to know when and how to step in. As a result, those in need of mental health services often do not get them until it is too late. Just as CPR helps even those without clinical training assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid prepares participants to interact with a person experiencing a mental health crisis. Mental Health First Aiders learn a 5-step action plan that guides them through the process of reaching out and offering appropriate support. “Through this program, we hope to take the fear and hesitation out of starting conversations about mental health and substance use problems,” says Linda Rosenberg President
and CEO of the National Council for Behavioral Health, which helped bring Mental Health First Aid to the U.S. in 2008. “When more people are equipped with the tools they need to start a dialogue, more people can get the help they may need.” In just ten years, Mental Health First Aid has become a full-blown movement in the United States—more than 1 million people are certified Mental Health First Aiders, and that number is growing every day. To register for the October 5th Mental Health First Aid Certificate training at the Howell Township Municipal Building, visit Eventbrite: eventbrite.com/e/mental-health-first-aid-certificate-training-registration-69887277729. The training is 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a working lunch provided by the Howell Township Municipal Alliance. Registration will close October 4 at 12 p.m. To learn more about Mental Health First Aid USA, visit mentalhealthfirstaid.org/ The National Council for Behavioral Health was instrumental in bringing Mental Health First Aid to the USA; more than 1 million individuals have been trained so far.

H eRe ’ s t o Y ouR H eAltH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Popular Heartburn Medicine May Be Laced With NDMA By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. The news broke on September 13, with a statement from the Dr. Janet Woodcock, the Director at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. This is a day that will go down in history. According to the statement, “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has learned that some ranitidine medicines, including some products commonly known as the brand-name drug Zantac, contain a nitrosamine impurity called N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) at low levels. NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen (a substance that could cause cancer) based on results from laboratory tests. NDMA is a known environmental contaminant and found in water and foods, including meats, dairy products, and vegetables.” Part of how it hurts us is by rendering inactive two powerful antioxidant ‘cleansing’ enzymes in the liver. The first one being catalase, and the second one being glutathione. These two enzymes are used to neutralize poisons in the body. NDMA is hepatotoxic! We get into NDMA when we eat bacon and hot dogs, cold-cuts and cured meats. It’s in cheese, beer and chewing tobacco. But in our stomach medicine?! The FDA is not issuing a drug recall and advising that everyone remain on their medication. In other words, they don’t want you to panic and stop taking it during their evaluation. Traces of this carcinogen were found by a Connecticut lab in both the brand name drug, and a few generic samples that were tested. They did not test every single brand that you see on the shelves. They did not yet publicly name the brands that are
tainted. But there was enough found for the FDA to start warning consumers. When most people think of a generic drug, they think that there is just one generic maker of that drug. But that’s not true at all. There are dozens of manufacturers of the generic version called “ranitidine.” Not all of the generic makers have this NDMA problem. So again, finding NDMA in a handful of samples does not mean that every single generic version of ranitidine is contaminated. As for other H2 receptor antagonists in the same category as ranitidine, there is nothing to be worried about yet: Cimetidine (Tagamet), famotidine (Pepcid) and nizatidine (Axid). By the way, this isn’t the first problem with NDMA. In June 2019, the FDA issued a recall for the blood pressure drug called losartan “over small amounts of carcinogen.” One more thing regarding the PPI drugs such as Prilosec (omeprazole), Nexium (esomeprazole) and Prevacid (lansoprazole). These medications have not been evaluated or found to be contaminated with any NDMA. But if you take them, just support yourself with a good magnesium supplement because they are strong drug muggers. According to the Toxicology Data Network, some symptoms that might occur if you’re poisoned with NDMA include nausea/vomiting, cramps, diarrhea, liver damage, enlarged liver, fatigue, headache and kidney problems. If you are not dependent on your heartburn medicine, consider some natural alternatives that could suppress acid and/or coat and soothe your stomach. I have those articles posted at my website to help you.

KNEE PAIN? Grinding, popping, difficulty walking or going up and down the stairs, bone-on-bone pain… Does any of this sound familiar?
There’s no one single answer to all knee pain, especially when every person is different. The truth is, it is impossible to know what kind of treatment would be effective until your case is examined. Only then can medical professionals determine what would be best for you. People suffering from knee pain often try a number of potential solutions before finding relief. What works for one person may not work for another, and that’s where expert 5-star care and nearly 20 years of experience comes into play at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation. Knee pain patients are unique and suffer from a great deal of pain. They deserve and require practitioners who are invested in their case, who take the time to explain what’s causing the pain
and why particular treatments may work or not work. That’s the difference at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation. Five-star service and the well-being of their patients are the doctors’ top priorities. At Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation, there are no cookie cutter plans. With so many different services available in one facility, there are a number of possibilities and different combinations of treatments that can be customized to each patient. While these doctors do see many patients who receive injections to postpone painful knee surgery, some patients may benefit more from Cold Laser Therapy combined with physical therapy, or maybe acupuncture or vibration therapy. There are a number of possibilities and no one single solution to cure all knee pain. So what’s the solution? Start with a consultation with one of these skilled medical professionals. Sit down with one of the doctors to determine exactly which approach would be the most effective in your case. Take advantage of this special offer for Asbury Park Press Readers: FREE initial consultations ($245 value) for the first 17 people who call!
Knee Pain Solution: Combining Time-Tested Injections with New Technologies So many people who have been experiencing knee pain have sought out treatment before. Whether they tried a round of injections, painkillers, or saw a doctor and were told surgery is necessary, many people suffering from knee pain feel like they’ve tried everything. There have been many patients who have called Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation saying that they’ve exhausted all their options, but they may as well see if these therapies will help. They come in hopeless, and many end up having more success than ever before! So, what is it that makes this facility special? It’s bringing together all the individual working pieces to provide the well-rounded, all-encompassing treatment that delivers results. Patients can get multiple treatments all under one roof. Beyond that, the doctors at Monmouth Pain take the time to explain your condition and your treatment so that patients can understand what is going on. Why don’t you come see for yourself – call now to claim your FREE consultation ($245 value), available only to the first 17 callers. 732-345-1377 WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE LIKE? Acupuncture sessions take place in a relaxing setting. A Licensed Acupuncturist will insert tiny needles into incredibly precise points of the body, sending signals to the brain to release neurotransmitters that reduce feelings of pain. These tiny pricks that most patients can hardly feel are awakening your body’s innate ability to relieve pain –all while you get to sit back and relax. Osteoarthritis patients who receive acupuncture regularly may see noticeable improvements in levels of pain and functionality. Acupuncture is especially effective when combined with other treatment methods and may even improve the effects of physical therapy and other modalities.

PrimeTime Center Moves to New Eatontown Location
By Fran Kirschner EATONTOWN – PrimeTime Center (PTC), a day program that emphasizes independent living and actual community experiences for adults with developmental disabilities, has moved into a 7,000 sq. ft. location at 51 James Way, Eatontown. An open house is being planned late September for PTC’s new Eatontown location. Dave Mock, PTC director, said the former cen-
ter at 240 Broad Street, Eatontown, was not big enough to accommodate about 65 participants and 15 staff members. The new facility includes a state of the art kitchen that will be used for meal preparation, multiple activity rooms equipped with smartboard technology, and a large common area where participants can eat, socialize, and cultivate friendships. With the larger space, PTC also plans to offer
pre-vocational services to clients sometime in the fall. Mock said, “Learning important job skills will lead participants to greater independence and involvement in their community.” PTC also has centers at 60 High Street, Carteret, and 485 Brick Boulevard, Brick. In its three New Jersey locations, PTC employs about 45 staff members and services more than 200 participants throughout New Jersey. When they began in the summer of 2012,
PTC had a staff of four and three participants. Eligible adults can apply for PTC services through the Division of Developmental Disabilities. Transportation is provided to and from the program for participants who live within a five-mile radius. For more information about the new Eatontown site, call 848-257-1400 or email Dave Mock at office@primetimecenter.org. Visit primetimecenter.org.

Spotlight On Business
Louis Napolitano D.M.D.
Dr. Louis Napolitano has provided high quality dental care in the Jackson area since 1983. Recently, Dr. Robert Scheddin has returned home to Howell, from Florida to join Dr. Napolitano. The practice always places the patient and their concerns first. This has been and always will be the guiding principle of the doctors and the staff. Today, dentistry, as all fields of medicine, is rapidly changing and both Dr. Napolitano and Dr. Scheddin stay up to date with continuing education and investing in the latest effective technologies. In the office, we have the Velscope for the earliest detection of oral cancer, full digital x-rays, including 3D cone beam for a more accurate diagnosis. We also use the “Wand” for single tooth anesthesia without facial
numbing. However, if you’re a “Needle Phobic” or hate the sound of the drill and don’t like having frozen face after dental treatment, we have the solution! The Solea CO2 dental laser. The Solea is the most sophisticated and effective dental laser available. It is the only FDA approved laser for tooth, bone, gum treatment. The office offers the full range of dental services including implants, cosmetics, Invisalign, dentures, crowns, bridges, and root canals. For our patient’s convenience, early morning and evening appointments are available Monday through Friday.

ARounD tHe JeRsey sHoRe “The Royal Flush” Begins 2019 Service FREEHOLD – “The Royal Flush” pump out boat, which removes waste from recreational boats on the Navesink and Shrewsbury Rivers, recently resumed operation on Fridays and Saturdays until October 12, 2019, weather permitting. Hours of operation are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. “The Royal Flush is one of the many services that the County offers residents,” said Freeholder Susan M. Kiley, liaison to the Monmouth County Health Department (MCHD). “On behalf of the Board of Chosen Freeholders, I urge boaters to take advantage of this free service instead of dumping waste in no discharge zones.” The Royal Flush is owned and maintained by the MCHD and operated by the NY/NJ Baykeeper organization through a cooperative agreement established in 2015. “This free service to our community keeps
out waterways clean and safe,” said Christopher P. Merkel, Monmouth County Public Health Coordinator. “The boat is available to all recreational boaters and is not limited to Monmouth County residents.” Since 2001, the Royal Flush has serviced over 16,400 boats and properly disposed of over 591,000 gallons of sewage. In 2018, 683 boats were serviced and 23,200 gallons of sewage were disposed. Boaters can contact the Royal Flush by radio on VHF Channel 9 or by cell at 732-890-6142 on days the pump out boat is operational. In addition to Fridays and Saturdays, The Royal Flush will serve boaters on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. Service will be provided on a first come, first serve basis. For more information, contact the MCHD at 732-431-7456 option three or go to VisitMonmouth.com/health.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 28 - OCt 4 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you keep plugging away, you’ll get somewhere. Changing your tactics or your habits might be counterproductive in the upcoming week. If you concentrate and exercise self-discipline, you’ll do better. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When it seems that all you do is work, work, work, it’s good to know that at least you have co-workers who offer some social contact on the job. Take advantage of the brief, happy diversions when they occur. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It isn’t enough to have soaring imagination and the capacity to dream. You may want to harness a vision and apply your creative ideas to a project or pet hobby in a practical way during the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): A partner may be more concerned with practical affairs or a job that needs to be done than with cuddling and entertainment. In the week ahead, you may want to focus on being as supportive as possible. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your purposefulness could put you in the driver’s seat. If you work hard to complete a job, you might outshine the competition. Avoid impulsive changes that can create misunderstandings later this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have no doubt that drive and determination will get it done. Someone else may have the imaginative and delightful concepts, but you have the self-discipline to turn those ideas into a solid reality.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your serious side may emerge in the week ahead, so take advantage of it: Keep busy with useful tasks. Don’t turn a mild misunderstanding into something it isn’t or let a sudden change undermine your confidence. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Spend time with yourself rather than others and bathe in thoughtful retrospection. There may be a lesson you can learn from your past experiences. Put social ambitions on the back burner this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are in a cycle of self-improvement and growth. Repeating a positive mantra will boost your spirits if anything goes wrong in the week ahead. You can always find something positive to say and do. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If everything is organized, you will be more efficient. Prioritize tasks so that your life becomes a smooth-running machine. You may hit a stone wall if you try to change the terms of a relationship in the week ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Expect to pay your own way. Your ability to intuitively understand how to best use your money is at a high point. As the week progresses you may need to call upon your coping skills to deal with erratic people. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You like to escape from the ordinary and may find plenty of opportunities to do so in the upcoming week. Look for new and interesting ways to bring some fun into your exercise routine.

Add the onions, carrots, celery, leeks, parsnips, garlic, and shallots. Sauté, stirring frequently, until tender but not yet browned, 7 to 10 minutes. With cheesecloth and kitchen string, tie the parsley, thyme, bay
leaves, cloves, and peppercorns into a secure bundle. Add to the pot. Add the chicken, stock, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hours. Carefully remove the chicken to a platter. When it is cool enough to handle, unwrap it, discard the skin, and remove the meat from the bones. Shred the meat into strips 1/4 inch by 2 inches (6 mm by 5 cm). Refrigerate in a covered bowl. Pour the bouillon through a fine strainer over a large mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and sugar. To serve, reheat the bouillon in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and julienned vegetables and simmer for 1 minute. Add the crepe strips and simmer for 1 minute. Ladle into soup bowls and garnish with chives. Serve immediately.

Transfer to a medium bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour Heat a 10 1/2-inch (26.25-cm) nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Pour in 1 1/2 ounces (45 ml) batter and swirl to cover the bottom. Cook until the top begins to dry and the bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and brown the other side about 1 minute. Remove from the pan to a platter to cool. Stack the cooled crepes on a plate, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
