Lakehurst Police Chief Retires
By Kimberly Bosco LAKEHURST – Mere hou rs before saying goodbye to 2019, m e m b e r s of the Lakehurst Police Department gave a sendoff to one –Photo courtesy Lakehurst of their own. Police Department O n De c. 31, 2019, the department bid farewell to Chief Eric Higgins as he retired after 26 years of service to the Borough. Chief Higgins signed off for the last time at 2 p.m. on New Year’s Eve at the Lakehurst Police Station. According to the department, Chief Higgins began his law enforcement career in 1994 after serving in the United Stated Marine Corps. During his service, Chief Higgins served as a DARE officer and on the Ocean County SWAT and the Ocean County Narcotics Strike Force teams. He also heroically, and voluntarily, responded to the September 11, 2001 attacks at Ground Zero in New York City. Chief Higgins holds a Master’s Degree in administrative Science from Fairleigh Dickinson University and is also a graduate of the prestigious FBI National Academy Leadership Program. Lakehurst Police wished Chief Higgins the (Chief - See Page 4)

Curtain Opens For Performing Arts Academy
–Photos by Bob Vosseller (Above) The brand new Ocean Count y Vo c a t i o n a l Technical School Performing Arts Academy w ithin Ocean County College, Toms River opened its doors. (Right) Some of the 279 students who attend the new OCVTS Performing Arts Academy enter the doors of the new facility. By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – They arrived by bus and car and entered with excitement for their fi rst day of class in the brand new Ocean County Vocational Technical School Performing Arts Academy building. It wasn’t just the students that were excited about the state-of-the-ar t facility but administrators, staff, OCVTS Board of Education members and elected officials. The building is on the campus of Ocean County College in Toms River. It provides a showcase for those seeking careers in several areas of the performing arts. It also provides college credits and a modern, safe environment that Freeholder Director Joseph Vicari proudly

said equals anything available in the northern part of the state. “I’ve been in education as a teacher, principal and superintendent for 40 years and this is remarkable. It is state of the art and students will feel inspired to be attending class here,” Vicari said. Vicari couldn’t wait for the students to arrive or staff and administrators to provide a tour. He decided to explore the hallways, classrooms, bathrooms, elevator and even furnace room to get a first look at the new building. The facility’s creation was sparked by the need to relocate from Hanger 1 at Joint Base Lakehurst, which due to security reasons made the civilian school facility difficult to access. The project has a 20-year bond
for $27 million. Vicari said that 40% of the cost of the new facility was provided by the state while the county’s portion was $8 million. Another $8 million was provided by the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation. “It was a wonderful partnership between Ocean County College as we had the land here, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders and many more partnerships,” Vicari said. “Everything from the dressing rooms, the chemistry labs to the white boards used in the classrooms are all modern. The acoustics of the recording studios are unbelievable,” Vicari said. He noted that the design also ensured security and fi re safety standards. (Curtain - See Page 9)

Barry thanked Trethaway for his kind words and expressed his gratitude to have been part of the school community, stating “It’s amazing to see the passion and how much you guys care for our kids.” Although she may have lost her seat in the recent election, Bermudez has put in her time with the Board. She served on the Board for 10 years, acting as board president for the last year. Similar to Barry, Bermudez

Continued From Page 1 three year stint with the Board, noting that he helped to increase school spirit and was instrumental in bringing improvements to the football field facilities. “He was really an important part of the district before he became a board member,” said Trethaway. “He was a member and president of the Booster Club, he served on the Strategic Action Plan Committee, and with those roles he did a lot to provide opportunities for our student athletes, for our students in general, and for our sports programs. He was a tremendous resource.” Trethaway emphasized that Barry was on the Board “for the right reasons.” “There are no political ambitions, he doesn’t have any agendas, political or otherwise, he’s here for the students, he’s here for the district and he always has been. When making decisions he uses a common sense approach. He listens to everything and the final answer is always based on how does it benefit the students, how does it benefit the parents, how does it benefit the staff, how does it benefit the district,” he said.
Bermudez served as Manchester’s board president in the past, and she also served as the president of the Ocean County School Boards Association. She was recently recognized at the Ocean County-Monmouth County school board meeting for her service and leadership. “As president she demonstrated leadership for the board, the district and of course the superintendent. She has always been a positive advocate for our district and has all the qualities to look for in a board member - well informed, knowledgeable, makes decisions based on what is best for all the students in the district,” Trethaway added. Bermudez, like Barry, expressed her gratitude to have been a part of the school district. “I did not become a board member because I thought I knew what was best for the district or felt that it needed to be better. I became a board member because I wanted to be a part of this wonderful school district and be involved,” she said. “Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this for the past 10 years.”

Continued From Page 1 According to OCVTS Superintendent Karen Homiek, who served as principal of the academy for 14 years prior to becoming superintendent, 279 students currently attend classes in the facility in a 9-12th grade program. The students are from various communities across Ocean County and must go through an application, testing and audition process. “The building is 57,000 square feet and three stories high. We are very excited about its opening today. Former OCVTS Superintendent William Hoey helped set this into motion. He got the wheels in motion for this and we finished up. Our staff is totally dedicated and they were anxious to start working here today,” Homiek said. Hoey passed away last year. Homiek said the academy, which is one of three full-time academies initiated by the OCVTS District, is a fairly young program which started in September 2001 at the Hangar 1 site. “Since that time, we have grown by leaps and bounds, both academically and culturally, raising the level of expectations and challenging our students to a high degree of success. Our administration and instructors nurture an intimate setting which provides opportunities to develop these exceptional relationships. Families are encouraged to participate and become an integral part of the decision-making processes on topics affecting their children’s education. Mutual respect, fairness and cooperation pervade all aspects of our school,” Homiek said. “In the past 15 years the Performing Arts Academy has been nominated and recognized numerous times for our students’ and instruc-

The following September we received a plaque from Inside New Jersey for being a ‘NJ Top Performing High School.’ In addition, Jerseycan recognized us as “Top 10 School,” Homiek said. OCVTS Board President Nina Anuario said the new building opened earlier than anticipated. “We were expecting the building to be finished in May and that classes would start in September. This facility can also be used for other classes at night so it serves two purposes.” Anuario credited the hard work of OCVTS Director of Facilities Edward Crawford for making the day’s opening a reality. Crawford was busy looking over the building during the morning. Homiek said while most high school programs require a 120-credit requirement to graduate, “we have a minimum 162 credits.” “Students will save on the cost of 15 to 30 college credits which adds up,” Vicari added. “This is STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) and it provides an education that is competitive with other schools. When I was living in Jersey City, they didn’t have schools like this.” Nineteen buses transport students from around the 33 municipalities of Ocean County to the facility. Vicari noted that the new operation did
not require any additional cost in so far as its location at the college. “These students are excited to be here. This is a landmark day for OCVTS,” Academy Principal Christine Santasieri said. “We have a staff of 35 to 40 people and 279 students. It has been a long time coming but it received a lot of dedication and hard work went into making this all happen.” Vicari said the programs of the new facility provides an equal opportunity for students and recognizes them as an individual. Juniors Ethan Wackes of Toms River South High School and Steve Riccobono of Toms River North were getting used to their new surroundings. Both are seeking careers in audio engineering. “This is very cool,” Wackes said looking

around the hallway and at the classrooms. “The four-year programs here include audio engineering, vocals, dance and acting.” “I’m interested in going into music production,” Riccobono said. “I’d like to go into studio recording,” Wackes said. School Counselor Sandy Stout was excited about starting her first day at the facility not only for its ultra-modern look but it also meant a shorter commute for the Toms River resident. “The students are so excited today and they are in awe of this building.” Vicari pondered the future of other county education projects noting that the county owns land behind the college campus. “We have five sites we could build on and four more buildings that could be built.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL When A Politician Switches Sides There is a certain political public relations g roup t h at h a s b e e n email i ng me con sistently for a few years. The contents of their emails have been the same ever si nce Jeff Van Drew got elected into off ice as the 2 nd District member of the U.S. Assembly. Every week, they ripped on Van Drew. They called him weak. They questioned his votes. They brought up how low his war chest is, and how he didn’t have a lot of funds for re-election. T hat is, u nt il ver y recently. Van Drew switched from Democrat to Republican and suddenly t h is publ ic relat ion s group has changed its tune. According to them, Van Drew is no longer weak. He no longer has questionable votes. His campaign is strong.
Now, the emails are attacking his Democrat challengers. I’m just using this as an example. Republicans attack Democrats no matter who they are, and Democrats attack Republicans no matter who they are. It’s all part of the game. The sad thing is that it’s just a game to them. While regular folks are wo r r i e d a b o u t t h e i r bank account, the only numbers Democrat and Republican organizations care about is how ma ny of t hem a re i n office. (And how many jobs they can give to their friends and family.) S o , w h e n e ve r yo u see a blitz of publicit y about a politician, a sk you r sel f: Is t h is important or is it just their game?

Letters To The Editor 2020: A Year for Positive Action The other day I had the pleasure of listening to John Lennon’s song “Imagine” on the radio. As 2019 rapidly comes to an end, Lennon’s song made me think about the issues that need to be addressed without delay in the coming new year. So here is a list of ten things, not necessarily in order of importance, for all of us to think about. 1. Racism/Discrimination - All lives matter. Tolerance and understanding must be the rule. Everyone must be guaranteed the right to live in peace regardless of race, religion, or political beliefs. 2. Gun Violence - The slaughter of innocent lives must come to an end. Our government must do whatever it takes to prevent gun violence in schools, shopping malls, etc. 3. Drugs - The poison that is destroying the youth of America. Like a cancer that is eroding the very fabric of our society, illegal drug use must be eliminated. 4. Medical - End all forms of cancer and life threatening diseases. Provide more care for our senior citizens. If you think this is unrealistic or unattainable, just think of someone that has lost a loved one. I’m sure they will not agree. 5. Education - The youth of America is our future. Greater resources must be provided in order to provide our children with the means to succeed. 6. Economic Opportunity - Equal pay for equal work. End economic discrimination against women, persons of color, and religion. 7. Family Unit - Restore the importance of family values, and the need for parents to work together with children towards a common goal. 8. Veterans - Honor those that have bravely served our country. Provide our veterans with the necessary medical care they rightfully deserve. 9.Homeless/Poverty - A
Letters To The Editor national disgrace. Enough said. 10. Environment - There will be no future unless we save the planet now. Our grandchildren will suffer the consequences of our lack of commitment if we do nothing. Please accept my apologies if I have inadvertently forgotten a worthy cause. I can only hope that 2020 is a year of affirmative action. And never forget, we live in the greatest country on Earth. Lou DeCaro Barnegat
Hate Leads to Hyperbole and Hypocrisy It amazes me how seemingly intelligent people can be so blinded by hate they no longer allow truth and reason to guide their understanding of the times we live in. I am speaking specifically of a recent letter to the editor of this fine publication. After reading the letter titled “The Unquestioning Cult Of Trump” (Dec. 21, 2019), I could not let the writer’s misinformation go unchallenged. The letter opens with a definition of what a cult is which I have no quarrel with, then lists several examples of some of the most despicable examples of evil leaders such as Hitler, Stalin and Mao just to name a few. The writer goes on to add President Trump to the list along with those who support him. Typical of those who I suggest suffer from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). Under the leadership of those three dictators millions of innocent lives were lost due to their cruel policies. That is a very sad fact that should never be forgotten. President Trump has been in office for 3 years and in that time has not put forth any decree, law or executive order to perpetuate the mass murder of innocents. Contrary to what the writer would
have you believe, President Trump has tried, and still is trying, to stop the only example of mass killing of innocents in the United States of America namely, abortion. The fact is his detractors are pushing for not just abortion of babies in the womb but also the killing of those already born as in the state of New York and attempted in Virginia*. The day after Trump’s inauguration thousands of demonstrators across the land gleefully proclaimed their support for the “Cult of Abortion.” Unfortunately the writer left that group off his list. The writer states President Trump is an operative of Putin, his so-called mentor, when we all know through the Mueller report that is false. Space here does not allow elaboration in more detail. The writer claims Trump is weakening NATO when the truth is NATO is stronger now than ever before. Trump challenged the member nations to do what they promised and fully meet their funding obligations. NATO has more financial resources now than at any other time. That is strength not weakness. He also goes on to say Trump is “faking” a new conspiracy that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 election, when the truth is they both did as well as our own FBI, DOJ, and CIA. That inconvenient truth is just now coming to light. On the domestic side the writer claims Trump killed the Affordable Care Act without replacement. That is incorrect. The Affordable Care Act is being torn apart by the courts that are now able to rule on its constitutionality. The courts find it wanting. It was the Obama “cult” that rammed that horrible legislation down our throats without one bipartisan vote to support it. The writer claims Trump is a dictator but fails to mention that President Obama used his phone and pen to do what our elected represen-
tatives would not do. That sounds like a dictator to me but the writer has no issue with it. After proclaiming at least 23 times he did not have the constitutional authority to prevent the deportation of so called “dreamers,” Obama went ahead anyway and declared they could not be deported and thus we have DACA. While I sympathize with those who were brought here illegally as children, the answer is not to throw away our Constitution to protect them but to have bipartisan legislation in place to eliminate the problem just like Obama promised but failed to do when he had the ability to do so in his first two years. The writer proclaims Trump performed a “symbolic lynching” on Obama by pulling out of the Paris Accords and Iran Nuclear deal. It is despicable for him to use such a loaded phrase to describe what Trump did in the interest of the rule of law and fairness to our Constitution. Those “deals” should have been brought before the U.S. Senate for ratification since we are in fact a government of the people not the few appointed individuals acting on behalf of a leader who thinks he knows better than the rest of us. The writer made other dubious points in his diatribe but I do not think it worthy to go on. I am saddened by the sentiment of his letter and the fact there are others who parrot the same rot and call it fact. I now understand full well why the term “fake news” is part of our lexicon in these conf licted days. In closing I will leave us with the wisdom of the late Rodney King when he said, “Can’t we all just get along?” Now is the time to stop the hate, hyperbole and hypocrisy.

Manchester Man Gets 12 Years For Cocaine Distribution
By Kimberly Bosco MANCHESTER – A Manchester man was sentenced to 12 years in prison for cocaine distribution, announced Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer. On Friday, January 10, 2020, 35-year old Darnell Williams was sentenced for Possession of Cocaine in an Amount Greater than Five Ounces with Intent to Distribute. Williams also received a six year period of parole ineligibility. Williams pled guilty to this charge on November 15, 2019. On March 18, 2019, members of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force and the Manchester Township Police Department executed at a motor vehicle stop in the area of Route 571 and Route 70 in Manchester. At the same time, Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force Detectives and members of the
Ocean County Regional SWAT Team, along with officers from the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department K-9 Unit and the Manchester Police Department, were executing a no-knock search warrant at a Manchester residence. Both searches yielded significant amounts of cocaine and heroin and approximately $5,400 in cash. Williams was also sentenced on the following unrelated matters: • Theft by Deception and Fraudulent Use of a Credit Card, for which Williams was sentenced to three years • Distribution of Cocaine, for which Williams was sentenced to three years • Operating a Motor Vehicle During a Period of License Suspension for a Second or Subsequent DUI, for which Williams was sentenced to eighteen months.

Day Trips to tackle Cabin Fever! Get this year started! –Photo courtesy Manchester Township MANCHESTER – The Manchester Township Council is ready for a productive year in 2020, having reorganized during their January 2, 2020, meeting in the Municipal Complex Courtroom. Councilman Robert Hudak took his Oath of Office during the meeting. Appointed to the Council in June of 2019, Mr. Hudak, filled the seat vacated by Charles Frattini and won his election bid this past November. Following the administering of his oath, Councilman Sam Fusaro was elected to lead as Council President and Councilman James A. Vaccaro, Sr., was elected Vice President. In public remarks, Council President Fusaro noted that it has been 30 years since Manchester Township residents voted to change to a non-partisan form of government following a corruption scandal. He said that it was the diligence of residents who held their officials accountable and participated in their local government that helped the Township recover from near bankruptcy. “I want the new residents, and not just the older ones, to get involved in Manchester Township,” Mr. Fusaro said, encouraging everyone to attend meetings and ask questions. Transparency, he said, continues to be paramount throughout all of the offices in Manchester Township’s Municipal Complex. Ken Palmer, Mayor of Manchester also spoke,
addressing some of his goals for the near year, which include implementing the township-run EMS service within the next few months, improving water service through the construction of a new tower and interconnection with Lakehurst Borough, completing the town-wide reassessment, and using a recently-awarded grant to cap the Whiting landfill and construct solar panels on the land. Both Council President Fusaro and Mayor Palmer thanked Manchester Township’s employees for their continued hard work throughout the year. “Our employees are the best of any municipality. In the 25 years since I’ve done this, this group is the easiest and best to work with,” Mr. Fusaro said. The complete composition of the Township Council for 2020 is: President Sam Fusaro, Vice President James A. Vaccaro, Sr., Councilman Craig Wallis, Councilwoman Joan Brush, and Councilman Robert Hudak. Other items at the Reorganization Meeting included the appointment of Manchester Township’s professional services and establishment of meeting dates for 2020. Information about Manchester’s Township Council, its members, meeting agendas, and minutes can be found at ManchesterTwp.com/town-council.

President Trump To Hold Rally In South Jersey
By Jason Allentoff WILDWOOD – President Donald J. Trump will hold one of his popular campaign rallies in South Jersey later this month, according to his re-election campaign. A website has been launched where you can obtain free tickets to the event scheduled for Tuesday, January 28 at the Wildwoods Convention Center. U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-2nd, will travel with him on Air Force One for the event. It was in late December that Van Drew, a longtime Democrat, announced he was switching parties and joining the GOP. Van Drew was one of only two Democrats to vote against President Trump’s impeachment in the House of Representatives. He opted to switch parties the next day which left many in his district scratching their heads.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Other Means Of Transportation
Dear Joel, It has become painfully obvious that my 89-year-old widowed father should not be driving. Although he has not had an accident, he is exhibiting all the signs of someone who should not be behind the wheel, and my siblings and I feel it is just a matter of time. We have broached the subject individually and as a group on more than one occasion, but he immediately becomes defensive and angry, and the conversation ends. We are worried not only for his safety, but for the safety of others. Our goal is to have Dad voluntarily surrender his license, rather than have it taken away. Do you have any suggestions on how to handle this very delicate situation? Answer: Discussions about driving issues can be difficult and emotional and must be handled with sensitivity and thoughtfulness. It’s not a one-time conversation and should be had with someone who your father trusts, perhaps the family doctor or a
friend who has recently made the decision. Like most of us, driving represents freedom and independence and your father may fear that he will lose both once he surrenders his license. Showing him the many transportation options that are now available may allay some of those feelings. As a matter of fact, he may feel freer without the responsibility and expense of owning and driving a car. Most important is his safety. Expressing concern for him (“I’m concerned for your safety while driving”) rather than pointing out his shortcomings (‘You’re not a safe driver”) may go a long way toward his acceptance of the situation. “Thanks for writing” Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM.

Does My Insurance Have A Hearing Aid Benefit?
It can be quite confusing figuring out whether your insurance carries a hearing aid benefit. What we do know is MEDICARE does not pay for hearing aids and MEDICAID does. However, many secondary insurances have a hearing aid benefit if you’re willing to spend hours of your time on the phone speaking with a live representative to give you that information. To save you time, this is what I know: First, a large majority of CIGNA plans have a hearing aid benefit. This benefit is administered by a 3rd party administrator called Amplifon. You are required to register through Amplifon’s portal such that the Audiologists staff can assess your benefits information and print it out. Second, many of the AETNA plans have a hearing aid benefit either through a 3rd party such as Amplifon or a flat monetary benefit that is paid to the Audiologist. This benefit can range from $500 to $750 in most cases. Third, those of you that have Federal BC/BS typically have a $1250 hearing aid benefit per ear. In addition,
those Federal employees can also choose to go through a 3rd party administrator such as TruHearing. Fourth, many of the Ford and/or General Motors retirees have a hearing aid benefit administered through 3rd parties such as American Hearing Benefits (AHB) or AudioNet. Other 3d party administrators include HEAR USA, EPIC, and Your Hearing Network. The best advice that I can give you is to provide your Audiologist with your insurance information so that they can verify your benefits. In the vast majority of these plans, you will save a significant amount of money taking advantage of your 3rd party benefit. The pitfalls of these plans include the following: • Most of these plans do not offer long 0 percent interest plans • The Audiologist is limited to specific manufacturers for the hearing aid selected. In many cases, this may not be the best hearing instrument for the patient’s lifestyle and listening needs • The Audiologist can charge for their time after the first year of services
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

8 Ways To Improve Energy By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I bet some of you who deal with chronic fatigue are feeling very misunderstood by others. Maybe you have a fear of not being believed or being perceived negatively. I have compassion for you. Fatigue is not something someone can see like a broken ankle, it’s something that they have to take your word for it. If you’re coming into the New Year 2020 with fatigue, I have help for you today. It is simply not possible to make a resolution to beat fatigue if you don’t know what the underlying cause is! But what you can do is try energy-boosting mito-loving supplements and support GI health which can help you produce energy. Sometimes just ending a tedious job or leaving a challenging relationship can fill your cup with new reserves of energy. I want to be careful that I don’t medicalize fatigue because we live in a weird day and age where every symptom gets you a drug! Since I’m a registered pharmacist and crazy about natural medicine, I’d like to move away from the psychological perspective now, and offer you some treatment options. There are many new things today, but one of them I do not recommend is a fecal microbiota transplant. Not kidding here! Do not get talked into this procedure for chronic fatigue. Fecal microbiota is the medical term for a procedure in which ‘stool’ from a healthy person (the donor) is placed into another person’s intestine in the hopes that the donor’s microbiota (ie probiotics) will flourish and help re-establish yours. I mention it because I’m into new research, and I came across a study that showed a fecal transplant could
improve symptoms of fatigue in people with IBS. But it’s a head scratcher to me because I would have suggested taking supplements of B vitamins and probiotics (and dietary restrictions) before doing the stool transplant! I have a very comprehensive version of this article which I can email to you, if you sign up for the newsletter at suzycohen.com. I will now list some of the most important energy hacks and hormone considerations that may help you: • CoQ10 - Important for muscle contractions • Thyroid - Low levels of thyroid hormone cause mental and physical fatigue • TMG - It’s a methyl donor that spawns other energy-producing nutrients • Hormones - Reduced estrogen can cause fatigue • Iron - Iron deficiency anemia can make you tired and dizzy • Creatine - Creatine leads to more ATP and supports muscle health • Greens - Certain superfoods and super fruits can improve mental clarity and physical stamina • Zinc - New research suggests that zinc enhances cellular energy reserves. In short, the best way to reclaim energy if you have digestive issues is to start with your digestion because a lot of mitochondria reside in the gut. Emerging research shows there is cross-talk between your gut and your muscles! Supplements such as those above may be extraordinarily helpful and should be carefully considered with the help of a qualified practitioner. I have a longer version of this article at suzycohen.com.

Alzheimer’s Disease and Physical Therapy By: Elise Pavlick, DPT
WHAT IS ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE? Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting one in eight Americans over the age of 65. Research has shown that individuals with Alzheimer’s disease tend to develop abnormal structures in the brain, called plaques and tangles, that block communication between nerve cells in the brain and body. Because the nerve cells are unable to work properly, individuals can experience a variety of cognitive, behavioral, and physical symptoms. Alzheimer’s disease is progressive, meaning that is worsens over time, and although there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, medication and physical activity can be helpful in slowing its progression. HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP? Physical symptoms such as muscle disuse, loss of balance, and difficulty walking and negotiating turns and obstacles all ultimately increase an individual’s risk of falling, which can possibly lead to serious injury. During a physical therapy evaluation, a licensed physical therapist evaluates various components of the body in order to determine impairments that may be contributing to a patient’s symptoms. The following are important aspects that are addressed in each exercise program, as deemed appropriate by a physical therapist: - Strength and Flexibility
As Alzheimer’s disease progresses, individuals tend to become more sedentary, which leads to muscles becoming weak and tight. The lower extremity muscles are very important for standing and walking, so as they become weak, it becomes particularly difficult to perform daily tasks and ambulate, or walk around. Physical therapy can help break this cycle by developing a safe strengthening and flexibility program to improve muscle performance. - Gait Training In addition to developing an exercise program, a physical therapist will evaluate and determine the most appropriate assistive device for each patient in order to provide safe ambulation. The most common assistive devices are rolling walkers, single point canes, and quad canes. - Balance Along with safe ambulation, balance is by far one of the most important aspects of minimizing an individual’s fall risk. Both static and dynamic balance are addressed during physical therapy by simulating tasks that individual’s experience in their daily lives. These tasks include reaching, stepping onto and off of various pliable surfaces, and negotiating obstacles while walking. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU FINISH PHYSICAL THERAPY?
All of the factors addressed during physical therapy work together to improve overall function and safety. Once an individual has achieved his/her goals and is ready to be discharged, the physical therapist will provide the patient with a home exercise program so that the gains made during physical therapy can be maintained. Physical therapy can provide the tools for success, however it is up to the individual to use the information he/ she has learned to continue to maximize safety and functional mobility! ELISE PAVLICK, DPT Elise graduated from the University of Delaware in 2011 with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology and a minor in Disabilities Studies. She continued her education at the University of Delaware where she earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree in January 2014. While at UD, she and a few classmates were chosen to present their case study, The Use of EMG Biofeedback as a Treatment for Facial Paralysis Secondary to Bell’s Palsy, at APTA’s Combined Sections Meeting. Elise has clinical experience in a variety of settings, including inpatient rehabilitation, acute care, outpatient orthopedics, and pediatric rehabilitation. She performed clinical rotations at HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital in Toms River and Shriner’s Hospital for Children in Philadelphia, where she focused on the rehabilitation of patients with stroke, spinal cord injury, spina bifida, and lower extremity amputation. Her professional areas of interest include post-operative rehab, orthopedics, amputation, and neurological rehabilitation of the pediatric and geriatric populations. Elise believes in manual therapy, patient-centered goals, and evidencebased practice to improve overall function and quality of life.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Registration Open For The 2020 Rutgers Environmental Stewards Program
If you have a passion for the environment, a desire to learn and volunteer in your community, then this program is for you Since 2005, hundreds of volunteers have made the commitment to protecting New Jersey’s environment by participating in the Rutgers Environmental Stewards Program. Offered by Rutgers Cooperative Extension, the program introduces volunteers to the science underlying key environmental issues in the Garden State so they can tackle problems and offer solutions in their own communities. In January and February 2020, participants can enroll in a program in one of five New Jersey counties: Atlantic, Mercer, Union, Passaic and Somerset. Participants do not have to be county residents to participate in the program, which costs $260 for the 20 weeks of training. Stewards start out in weekly classes, dealing with topics that include climate change, solid waste and recycling, soil health, energy conservation, water resource protection, invasive species management, land use policy, wildlife ecology, protecting pollinators and native vs invasive species, among others.

trips to environmentally significant sites around the state are included as part of the program. Leading researchers from Rutgers are joined by government and non-profit representatives to share their knowledge with the Stewards. In order to become certified, graduates must complete a 60-hour volunteer internship of their choosing. Internships are unique and align the passion of the individual with the needs of the program and those of the local community. Previous Steward internships have included monitoring shorebird populations, composting restaurant food waste, community single use plastic ordinances, mapping and eradicating invasive species in local parks, restoring native dune vegetation in shore communities, and creating rain gardens. The classes, field trips and internship do not replace a science degree. However, the program presents Stewards with real-world environmental problems and introduces a network of experts and organizations that can help Stewards as they wrestle with solving problems in their local communities.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Officials: It’s Not Too Late To Get Flu Vaccine
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Health Department is reminding everyone that it’s not too late to get your flu vaccine. With flu activity on the rise, officials expect higher levels than normal at this point in the flu season. “The Ocean County Health Department can’t stress enough how important getting a flu shot can be to you and your family, friends, school mates and co-workers. Remember, the flu vaccine not only protects you from getting ill, but it can also protect all the people you come in contact with,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “The more people vaccinated means the fewer people getting sick and spreading the bug.” According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), there have been at least 6.4 million flu illnesses and 2,900 deaths during the current flu season. Health care providers are urged to explain to patients that the flu vaccine does save lives and is the best protection against getting the flu and its potentially serious complications.
“While it’s imperative for individuals with chronic diseases, children, pregnant women, and older adults to get vaccinated, others shouldn’t hope to “sneak by” this flu season without getting sick,” said Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator. “Don’t risk it – protect yourself and others by getting the vaccine as soon as possible.” Flu viruses are spread through respiratory droplets that are expelled when someone who is sick coughs, sneezes or talks. Another form of transmission may happen when someone touches a contaminated surface or object. “Simple hand washing is extremely effective when it comes to reducing the spread of the influenza virus. Wash your hands with soap and water or hand sanitizer as often as possible,” Regenye added. Symptoms of flu usually last only a few days and may include: fever, cough, sore throat, headaches, chills, muscle aches and fatigue. If you do get sick you should stay home until your better.

The OCHD is offering How to Shop Healthy on a Budget With a Registered Dietician with three free sessions at area Walmart stores. The program schedule is as follows: January 27, 2020 1-3 p.m. at Walmart on Rt. 88 in Brick. February 19, 2020 1-3 p.m. at Walmart on U.S. 9 in Lanoka Harbor.

staying within your budget constraints,” said Freeholder Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. ‘You’ll be surprised just how much more there is to learn from these free educational programs whether you’re shopping for a family or just yourself.” The program will not only help you shop smart, but registered dieticians will stimulate your taste buds by cooking up a few delicious menu ideas to demonstrate just how tasty these healthy dishes can be and so easy to prepare. “We want people to understand that eating healthy doesn’t have to be expensive. Additionally, healthy meals don’t have to be tasteless and really can be delicious without having to spend a lot of time in the kitchen preparing,” said Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator. “It’s not easy for diabetics, they have many challenges when trying to come up with smart choices and still enjoy what they are eating.” For more information, visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE NJ Students To Receive Messages About The Dangers Of Vaping
MILLBURN — There’s nothing safe about vaping. That’s the message the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey (PDFNJ) will be sharing with youth as they start off the new year.
PDFNJ, in collaboration with the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General, has unveiled a media campaign about the dangers of vaping that will be distributed to each of the more than 3,500 schools in the state.
The new campaign is being released in the midst of a nationwide explosion of teen use of vaping devices or e-cigarettes, which the United States Surgeon General declared has reached epidemic levels. “Vaping can inflict significant damage to one’s health, especially for youth,” Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey Executive Director Angelo Valente said. “We want teens throughout the state to know the risks they are taking if they choose to use e-cigarettes and to encourage them to avoid using these potentially dangerous products.” The campaign, which emphasizes the risks associated with vaping by comparing e-cigarette use to skydiving without a parachute, also will appear on billboards, trains and buses throughout the state. The messages include a pathway to gather additional information at VapeFactsNJ.com, the New Jersey Department of Health’s website on e-cigarettes and vaping. “The popularity of e-cigs and vapes among youth threatens to reverse hard-fought declines in adolescent smoking and create a new generation of nicotine addicts,” said Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal. Grewal added, “we must raise public awareness about the dangers of vaping to prevent another deadly addiction epidemic from taking root in our communities.” Vaping is considered less harmful than smoking traditional cigarettes and tobacco products, because e-cigarettes contain fewer toxic chemicals, according to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). However, like regular cigarettes, e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and makes vaping devices just as addictive as cigarettes. Nicotine raises blood pressure and spikes adrenaline, which increases a person’s heart rate and the likelihood of having a heart attack. It also affects the development of adolescent brains by changing the way synapses are formed, which can negatively change parts of the brain that control attention and learning, according to the Surgeon General. Recent data also links vaping to chronic lung disease and asthma. As of December 27, 2019, the CDC reported that 2,561 people throughout the United States had been hospitalized with severe lung injuries caused by vaping. This outbreak also was responsible for 55 deaths. In New Jersey, there have been 53 confirmed and 46 probable cases of vaping-related illness and one death, according to the Department of Health. In 2019, more than one in four high school students reported using an e-cigarette in the previous 30 days, according to preliminary results from the CDC’s annual National Youth Tobacco Survey. The results indicated a significant increase in teen vaping, up from 20.8 percent of high schoolers in 2018 to 27.5 percent in 2019. The use of e-cigarettes has exploded in the past decade, especially among teens. In 2011, just 1.5 percent of high school students said they used an e-cigarette.

Fulfill “Shines Light On Hunger” With LED Light Bulbs Campaign
By Kimberly Bosco NEPTUNE – Fulfill, formerly The FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, will be distributing 52,080 LED light bulbs to people in need as part of its “Shine Light on Hunger” campaign. “Shine Light on Hunger” is part of the Community Based LED Program with New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program (NJCEP).
“Fulfill is more than a food bank. In addition to feeding our struggling neighbors, we offer comprehensive resources for them under one roof to help them move from financial difficulty to economic well-being. Providing these LED light bulbs is part of that effort. These LED light bulbs will help our neighbors make ends meet while serving as an educational tool about how to
reduce costly electric bills long term. Most importantly, our ‘Shine Light on Hunger’ campaign also works to raise awareness about the complicated issue of hunger,” said Fulfill CEO and President Kim Guadagno, former Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey. This imitative was funded through New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program. The energy efficient Energy Star certified light bulbs
last approximately 15,000 hours, use up to 90% less energy, and last at least 15 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs, saving an estimated $55 in electricity costs over their lifetime, according to NJCEP In total, 26,040 two packs of soft white 60W LED light bulbs will be distributed to households in need in Monmouth and Ocean Counties, along with educational handouts about energy efficiency. “Shine Light on Hunger” will also be the theme of Fulfill’s gala this year to be held on March 27, 2020 at The Sheraton in Eatontown. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available at fulfillgala2020. givesmart.com.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE A Worthy New Year’s Resolution: Advocate For An Abused Or Neglected Child
New Year’s resolutions typically focus on self-improvement: lose weight, stop smoking, exercise more often. This year, why not resolve to do something even more lasting: improve the life of a child who’s suffered abuse and neglect? As a court-appointed special advocate, volunteers receive in-depth training to advocate in court and in the community for the needs and rights of children in foster care. Volunteers come from all walks of life and professions and have one thing in common: they care about kids. “Volunteers get to know the child they represent by talking with everyone in that child’s life: parents and relatives, foster parents, teachers, medical professionals, attorneys, social workers and others. They use the information they gather to inform judges and others of what the child needs and what will be the best permanent home for them,” explains Cindi Van Brunt, executive director of the CASA for Children of Monmouth County program Volunteers complete a 30-hour pre-service training. Once they are assigned to a case,
they can expect to spend an average of about 15 hours a month getting to know the child, gathering information, exploring resources to meet the child’s needs, representing the child in court and writing reports. Volunteers receive ongoing education and support from their local program. “It’s one of the most personally rewarding experiences I’ve ever had,” says a local CASA volunteer. “For many of the kids I’ve worked with, I’ve been the only stable, supportive adult in their lives. My sole responsibility is to protect their rights and to find them a safe and nurturing forever home. I know that I’m not just helping these children, but their kids and their grandkids and generations of kids to follow.” To learn more about how you can make a difference in the life of an abused or neglected child here in our community, contact the CASA program by calling 732-460-9100 or emailing lynn@casaforchildrenmc.org You can also learn more at casaofmonmouth.org. “Becoming an advocate for foster children will be the best resolution you can make for this year or any year,” Van Brunt concludes.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE “Give Kids A Smile” Providing Free Dental Care
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates will be giving kids a smile with one day of free dental care on Feb. 7, 2020. Dr. Elisa Velazquez & her team from Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates are participating in the one-day program, called Give Kids a Smile! (GKAS), on Friday, February 7, 2020. GKAS is part of the American Dental Association’s (ADA) annual push to bring attention to the number one childhood disease, tooth decay. “Giving back to the community that has supported my practice is so important,” said Dr. Velazquez. “This program, in its 16th year, will touch the lives of so many of NJ’s children who need dental care, but cannot afford it. I am proud to be a part of
it,” she said. Children 12 and under will receive free preventive and emergency pediatric dental care including a comprehensive dental exam, dental cleaning, oral healthcare instruction, fluoride treatments, and free dental hygiene materials including toothbrushes, floss and toothpaste. The dentists and staff of OPDA are donating their time to help the children of Ocean County. Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates is prepared to treat 100 children for free to improve their oral health during this year’s event. Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates has locations in Toms River, Manahawkin, and Cream Ridge. Give Kids A Smile! Will take place at 368 Lakehurst Road suite 305 Toms River, NJ. Contact the office at 732-473-1123 to schedule an appointment or visit ocean pediatricdental.com for information.
Ocean County Man Sentenced On Drug & Weapons Charges
By Kimberly Bosco LAKEWOOD – A Lakewood man has been sentenced to eight years in prison for heroin distribution, announced Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer. On January 10, 2020, 33-year old Tony Olden was sentenced as the result of a guilty plea to Possession of Heroin in an Amount Greater than One Half-Ounce with Intent to Distribute. Olden was also sentenced to five years with a forty-two month period of parole ineligibility as a result of a guilty plea to Unlawful Possession of a Weapon. The sentences will run concurrently. Olden was charged following a three month long investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force and Lakewood Police Department Street Crimes Unit. On August 6, 2019, law enforcement conducted a motor vehicle stop of Olden’s vehicle recovering a substantial amount of heroin as well as a handgun. A search of a Lakewood residence also yielded additional significant amounts of heroin. Olden pled guilty to these charges before Judge Gizinski on October 21, 2019.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jan 18 - jan 24 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Making excuses won’t cut it as this week rolls by. Some people will remain immune to your charm. Make sure you get to work on time and get checks in the mail to pay the bills before they are due. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Sit on your hands to prevent yourself from acting when you shouldn’t in the week to come. Just because the internet gurus tell everyone it’s time to take steps or make changes doesn’t mean that it will end well for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Fantasies might be frivolous but can fuel some ideas. You may enjoy activities that allow you to escape reality or get away from the usual grind. Take notes when you find something worth remembering in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your carefree attitude or social forays could aggravate those who take issues more seriously. Beginning something of importance this week could be the equivalent of pushing a boulder uphill in the middle of a snowstorm. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The part of you that says “I want to control everything” is on steroids. Take a few deep breaths before you take charge of something that isn’t part of your job description. Attend to your own responsibilities in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Attention to detail is desirable in the week ahead. Although it’s unlikely that starting a new business or creative project will be successful now, you can polish, edit and refine existing works. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): No amount
of pixie dust can hide the hard facts. You could pretend there isn’t an elephant in the room that everyone else notices. Avoid making crucial decisions in the upcoming week that could impact your family. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Use criticism as a fulcrum to maneuver past obstacles. Someone could point out small errors or problems that need your attention as the week unfolds. Once problems are dealt with there will be less resistance to your ideas. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Reflect on ways to achieve material stability as this week goes by. If you work hard, you can achieve your objectives in a slow and relentless spiral. Your wallet might feel thinner than usual, so remain thrifty. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may feel driven to act on strong urges and passionate desires, but examine these feelings carefully. You think you know what’s right or what you want, but when this week is over, you may think differently. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might be appalled when people say or do unacceptable things and then display a lack of remorse. Remain quiet and avoid stirring up controversy in the coming week. Put your skills to work in a positive way. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You might be happiest if you can escape from the dog-eatdog business world and find a quiet, peaceful retreat. This isn’t a good week to make major purchases or decisions, but it can be a good time to gather ideas.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen This Delicious Dish Is Simple Enough For Family Meal,Yet Elegant For Special Dinner Party By Wolfgang Puck PORK MEDALLIONS ON APPLE COMPOTE WITH BLACK PEPPER CIDER SAUCE Serves 4 For the black pepper cider sauce: 1 cup (250 mL) good-quality canned chicken stock or broth, plus a little extra if needed 2 tablespoons apple cider jelly or apple jelly 1/2 cup (125 mL) heavy cream 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 tablespoon crushed black peppercorns, plus extra to taste For the apple compote: 2 pounds (1 kg) large pippin or Granny Smith apples 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 2 teaspoons apple cider jelly or apple jelly 1/4 cup (60 mL) dry white wine 1/2 cup (125 mL) heavy cream Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Pinch freshly grated nutmeg For the pork medallions: 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) pork loin, cut into 8 equal medallions 1 to 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Finely chopped fresh Italian parsley, for garnish First, prepare the sauce: In a 10-inch (25-cm) skillet, combine the stock or broth and the jelly. Over medium-high heat, simmer briskly until the liquid reduces to 1/2 cup (125 mL), stirring frequently to take care that the sugar in the jelly doesn’t burn along the side of the pan. Pour in the cream and simmer briefly, just until the sauce thickens. Whisk in the butter and crushed peppercorns to taste. Cover and keep warm. For the compote, peel, core, and quarter the apples, then cut into thin slices. In a 12-inch (30-cm) skillet, melt the butter over high heat. Add the apples, saute briefly, and then reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft. Add the jelly and wine and stir until the jelly melts. Add the cream and stir until the apples are evenly coated. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a hint of nutmeg. Keep warm. To prepare the medallions, first lightly dust them all over with the flour and season to taste with salt and pepper. Over medium-high heat, heat 1 or 2 heavy skillets with enough cooking surface to hold the medallions in a single layer without crowding. Add 1 tablespoon each of oil and butter to each skillet, and swirl to coat the cooking surface. Add the pork medallions and saute until golden-brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. To serve, mound the compote on 4 heated plates. Arrange two medallions on top of the compote on each plate. Spoon a little sauce over and around the medallions. Garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
