En forcement Torch Run. More than 3,000 officers came together on October 9 to carry the “Flame of Hope” throughout the Garden State to benefit and raise awareness of the Special Olympics. The run was split into 26 different legs, travel-
ing through more than 300 towns and having officers run the streets of their local communities. The Annual Torch Run is normally held in June at The College of New Jersey, but the event was delayed to October due to COVID-19.
“Law enforcement officers have been serving Special Olympics New Jersey athletes for over 37 yea rs,” says Robert Belfiore, Retired Deputy Chief of the Port Authority of NY/NJ and Director of the New Jersey Torch Run. “As the (Torch - See Page 4)
Freeholders Reflect On Successful Summer Season Despite COVID-19 By Alyssa Riccardi MONMOUTH COUNTY – The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders held a press conference at Woody’s Ocean Grille in Sea Bright to reflect on the summer season here at the
shore. With COVID-19 affecting numerous businesses, officials looked back on this summer season and saw its success through a pandemic. “It is remarkable to look back at the suc-
cess of this summer season when just a few months ago we were not sure what it would look like or if our beaches would be open in time for visitors due to the pandemic,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison

Officials Launch Financial Recovery Initiative
By Alyssa Riccardi FREEHOLD – The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders announced that start of the Monmouth ACTS Financial Recovery Initiative (FRI) and give further COVID-19 updates. To date, the total number of positive COVID-19 cases in Monmouth County since March is about 12,000, said Freeholder Director Thomas Arnone. “Monmouth County COVID cases have recently increased in young adults who are experiencing mild symptoms.” Freeholder Director Arnone also updated individuals about the Monmouth County CARES Economic Assistance Grant Program. “We have approved and dispersed more than $14.1 million,” he said. “We still have more than $6 million available, so we are urging small business owners to submit an application. The application is relatively simple and all you need is your tax return to get started.” Freeholder Deputy Director Susan Kiley introduced the Monmouth ACTS Financial Recovery Initiative. “Without question, COVID-19 has had a devastating effect on millions of people across the nation – and thousands here in Monmouth County and the financial needs caused by the pandemic have been far-reaching,” she said. “Monmouth County residents are feeling the financial strain. They are facing unemployment and wondering how they are going to feed their families, afford child care, pay utility bills and so much more. Families are faced with real challenges – like going back to work, transitioning their children to virtual or hybrid education, and managing the child care crisis.” The Monmouth ACTS Financial Recovery Initiative was developed to educate and communicate financial programs and services available to Monmouth County residents who are facing financial struggles because of COVID-19. “The Financial Recovery Initiative builds upon Monmouth ACTS, and the work of its existing Financial Empowerment Hub,” Kiley said. “Through the initiative, government, (Financial - See Page 16)

Continued From Page 1 Director of the Law Enforcement Torch Run, I especially feel privileged to work with these dedicated individuals. Now is our opportunity to show the members of our communities the great partnership we have built with Special Olympics New Jersey at one of their most inspiring events.” More than 26,000 children and adults with intellectual disabilities enjoy yearround sports training and athletic competition free of charge thanks to The Special Olympics New Jersey. In 2019, The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics New Jersey
raised more than $4.1 million for the athletes of Special Olympics New Jersey, becoming a prominent fundraising program around the world. “From training to competition, health resources to leadership opportunities, Special Olympics New Jersey provides all its programs completely free of charge to our community,” says Jason Schubert, Senior Director of LETR Initiatives for Special Olympics New Jersey. “And for over 37 years of Special Olympics New Jersey history, law enforcement officers have been supporting these initiatives and raising millions of dollars annually for our athletes.” To learn more about the Law Enforcement Torch Run, visit NJTorchRun.org.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Races To Watch On Election Night There is a lot of speculation about what’s going to happen on November 3. After the polls close at 8 p.m., there will be plenty of news personalities talking about the results as they come in. With every House seat on the ballot, plus control of the Senate, White House, and (eventually) the Supreme Court, it’s enough to make you dizzy. The problem with a lot of political commentary is that they expect people to vote with their minds, and not their hearts. They’ll say something like “Iowa fa r mers were hu r t by Trump’s trade policies so they won’t vote for him,” or “White voters in the Texas counties won’t vote for Biden.” In reality, very few people really understand the complex issues. Instead, they’ll just vote for whoever their Facebook bubble has promoted more than the other. I spent a weekend researching the elections because I’m curious about it. And now I’m going to let you copy my notes. This list I made is by no means an exhaustive list. I selected the important ones that interested me the most. Some people will say that if Pennsylvania and Florida get called for Biden, you can go to bed early. For the purpose of this editorial, I will only be focusing on Republicans and Democrats, and not independent candidates. Republicans currently control the Senate. Democrats need to gain four senators (three if they also take the White House) to take control of the Senate. Democrats have the majority in the House 232197, and Republicans need to land 18 seats to take it. I’m going to start with New Jersey because New Jersey is the best state.
New Jersey’s 14 electoral votes are predicted to go to Biden. What’s more interesting are the races down ballot. For most of this election cycle, pundits and predictors have rated the House elections in the 2 nd and 3rd Districts as toss-ups. Sometimes they lean one way or the other, but that’s the nature of toss-ups. Websites have also named both of these races among the closest in the nation. Starting with the 2 nd District, the incumbent is Republican Jeff Van Drew. He’s being challenged by Democrat Amy Kennedy. Polls show her with a slight lead, but I’ve never really liked polls. They call 500 registered voters and count them up. That’s hardly scientific. It’s one thing to look at, but not the be-all, end-all. In the 3rd District, incumbent Andy Kim, a Democrat, is being challenged by David Richter, a Republican. This will be Richter’s second fight of the year. The fi rst was against Kate Gibbs in the primar y. It was messy and expensive. It left the incumbent relatively unscathed with a huge lead in funding. Kim unseated Republican Tom MacArthur for the job. The race was so close that it wasn’t called until almost two weeks later. I imagine the same thing will happen this time around, even moreso because of mail-in ballot reasons. In the 4th District, incumbent Republican Chris Smith is favored to win reelection. He is being challenged by Democrat Stephanie Schmid. Smith has been in the position for a few decades, and has name recognition and staying power. His pro-life sentiment will likely win (Editorial - See Page 7)
Letters To The Editor Resources For Breast Cancer Help, Screening While I was happy to see Jersey Shore Online taking part in Breast Cancer Awareness month through the article “Tackling Breast Cancer With Screening and Prevention,” I was disappointed by the lack of resources this article provided. As both a Bachelor of science and Master of public health student at George Washington University, who has experience working with the Manalapan Health Department, I strongly feel that providing readers with tangible ways to access breast cancer screening and educational services is extremely important. Although the article does provide a link to the resources provided by RWJBarnabas system, this link is listed at the end of the article. It does not stand out and is a bit difficult for readers to find. There are other breast cancer screening and educational resources available locally. These include but are not limited to the Planned Parenthood office in Freehold (732-431-1717), which offers breast exams and other female health exams, and the Children & Family Health Institute at the VNA Health Group (vnahg.org/children-family-health-institute/ ). Educational resources can
be found online from the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.(nationalbreastcancer.org/), Susan G. Komen (5.komen.org), and the American Cancer Society (cancer.org/cancer/ breast-cancer.html). Brianna Elgart Manalapan
It’s Time We Elect True Leadership In NJ-04
We hear about “leadership” during every election, but in the middle of a health and economic crisis the word should be treated as more than an empty platitude. Beyond bringing others to your point of view, true leadership requires risk; one cannot lead simply by toeing the party line. I am running for Congress in New Jersey’s Fourth Congressional District because our democracy is at a crisis point, and now, more than ever, we need leaders who will put people before partisanship, country before party, and work together to find solutions. While serving our country as a United States Foreign Service Officer, I deployed to Haiti shortly after they were devastated by an earthquake and struggling with a cholera outbreak. I worked with Haiti’s government to rebuild and strengthen their democracy and increase

public resources. I know firsthand that coming back from a public health and economic crisis requires fixing many of the problems that existed before the crisis hit. That’s why if I am elected to Congress, I will not only fight for the aid New Jersey needs to recover from the pandemic, but I will also support healthcare legislation which automatically enrolls uninsured or underinsured individuals in a public healthcare program such as Medicare, while allowing people the choice to keep their private plans. This way, no family will ever have to choose between their healthcare and putting food on the table, and every American will have access to quality, affordable healthcare. My opponent, thirty-nine yea r i ncu mbent, Ch r is Smith, has utterly failed to fight for us, even in the midst of a pandemic. We are in desperate need of real leadership and that is why I feel called to serve our community and our country again. The pandemic hit New Jersey hard with over 16,000 deaths, thousands more jobs lost, small businesses shuttered, and a revenue shortfall that threatens essential state and local government services. Despite this, Smith voted against both iterations of the HEROES Act, which included essential aid for our state and local governments. With his vote, Smith jeopardized job security for our police officers, fi refighters and teachers. The Act also included an extension of enhanced unemployment benefits, student loan forgiveness, critical resources for our frontline workers, funding for the Postal Service and election security, and eliminated the $10,000 cap on the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction - which would have given immediate tax relief to middle class New Jersey homeowners. In June, while millions lost employer-based health insurance, Smith voted against strengthening our health-
Letters To Th care. A real leader would have prioritized the needs of our families over partisanship. But as usual, Smith refused to stand up for us. As the first Congresswoman in NJ-04, I pledge to use both my voice and vote to ensure that we have the resources we need before, during, and after a crisis. Every day, I’ll fight tirelessly for our families and our future. It’s the kind of leadership we deserve. Stephanie Schmid Democratic Nominee for Congress, NJ-04 Little Silver
Wake Up, America The Supreme Court is on attack from the left in order to break down our Constitution; to control the Supreme Court. They have been threatening the existing members, “We can control you anytime we want to.” Dems have done everything they can in order to undermine Trump; to eviscerate his administration, to criminalize his administration, and to remove the president of the United States. (The) Democrat party is following a Saul Alinsky, Stalinist model embracing socialism/Marxism ideology. We have a party that is undermining our government, undermining our system, praising BLM, embracing Antifa (a Marxist organization). These are anarchists whose mission is to the destruction of the United States of America. The left, if elected, will pack the courts with leftwing activities! We are going to lose our freedoms, liberties, and our precious Constitution. America better wake-up fast! America will never be a socialist country under Trump’s watch! Carole A.

Continued From Page 6 him continual support in the very religious communities he represents. Schmid’s chance is if there is another blue wave, and she converts independents who are coming out to vote against anyone with an R after their name. On a lesser note, New Jersey’s 5th, 7th, and 11th Congressional Districts are not slam dunks for the incumbent Democrats, and might have surprises. Arizona has 11 electoral votes. It has been historically Republican. Currently, Biden has a slight lead. Also, you should watch the Senate race there. Martha McSally is up for election. She is a Republican who was chosen to fulfill the remainder of John McCain’s term. She is being challenged by Democrat Mark Kelly, an astronaut married to Gabby Giffords. The other senator in Arizona is a Democrat who won the spot by narrowly beating McSally in 2018. So, this is a vulnerable spot that should be watched.

Biden’s Friend Richter How can we trust David Richter to represent Republicans when he hired Biden’s brother 10 years ago? James Biden was hired as executive vice president by HillStone in 2010. Richter was the company’s president and COO at the time. His father was the CEO. The press release from the company touted Biden’s four decades experience in “business, political, legal and financial circles.” He’s cozying up to Biden and the Democrats – as long as he can make money off the deal. Richter doesn’t care about us. He doesn’t care about the Republicans. He only cares about himself. Chris Tomlin Howell
94, And Voting For Change The Republican Party of Lincoln and Reagan is no more. Now we have the Trump Party or rather King Trump! There is no more norm. Democracy is on the verge of collapse. No one can say ‘no’ to Trump and keep their job. Trump is working towards a monarchy, with him as our King and say goodbye to our Democracy. We are a country of hate and haters. The KKK has for years and years killed black and brown people and white sympathizers and are never tried for their crimes of murder. Trump said “Some of them are very nice.” Hitler marched into country after country after country and killed millions and millions of Jews, handicapped people, priests, nuns, gays, etc. The whole world watched and nobody said ‘no’ to Hitler. Never again?
However, since the mail-in voting might slow down how long it takes to tally votes, Arizona might be decided past your bedtime. Florida has 29 electoral votes and is a big target in presidential elections. The last three presidential elections have been very close. Trump won Florida in 2016 by 2.2%, with only about 100,000 votes more than Hillary Clinton. Obama won it in 2012 and 2008 with similarly narrow margins. Before that, George W. Bush won both of his elections in that state by even closer margins. Bill Clinton won it one year but not the other. Georgia’s 16 electoral votes are believed to be in play this year. The state has routinely been safe for Republicans, and Trump won it easily before. However, Democrats have been investing a lot of time and money getting inner city people registered to vote. This might not impact the presidency, but might mean more blue in House races. Both Republican Senators are on the ballot. Kelly Loeffler, in particular, got bad press earlier this year for
Trump said “I can shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and get away with it.” Trump, in his many interviews with a very well known journalist Bob Woodward, told him in January/February that he knew the coronavirus was deadly. It came in the air and nothing could be done about it. He didn’t want to panic Americans citizens. So in reality he helped to kill 200,000 plus American citizens. The CDC, Dr. Redfield, said to wear a mask it could be more effective than the vaccine. Trump did not have any plans for the American people, just said the virus would just go away. Now in front of King Trump’s house, The White House, is a signed peace agreement with some of the world’s meanest dictators. Does anyone know what it says? Please do not allow this self-absorbed bully, rebel rouser, white supremacist defender destroy our democracy. Don’t panic, just vote! At my age of 94 years I probably will not be here for the next four years. Please wake up and prevent this catastrophe from happening. Vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and keep our Democracy alive and well in the United States of America, forever and ever. Sarah “Roz” Maketansky Toms River
MAGA Hats
Does anyone else see the irony of those MAGA hats that Trump followers wear? Don’t they realize that we have already had four (disastrous) years of his “Make America Great Again?” Those same hats were worn by them four years ago. That was his slogan then, and the “great America” we have now is thanks to him? How many times do we give Trump the chance to make it right? Rosemary Doherty Berkeley
dumping stocks when she knew COVID was about to hit. Somehow, a lot of news came out of Michigan recently. Trump won it narrowly in 2016. It had been such a Democrat stronghold that the Democrats didn’t put a lot of work into keeping it. With all the turmoil, it will be interesting to see how it turns out. Clinton won Minnesota narrowly in 2016 and the Trump campaign has targeted it as a vulnerable pick-up state for 2020. The Republicans have been outspending and out-visiting this year to earn its 10 electoral votes. North Carolina has 15 electoral votes. Obama won it with 1 point in 2008; Romney won it with 2 points in 2012 and Trump won it with a 4 point margin in 2016. Their Republican fi rst-term Senator Thom Tillis is up for re-election and pundits say it could go either way. So, this state is important to watch for control of the Senate as well. You knew that Ohio would wind up on this list, right? One stat I saw said that no Republican ever ascended to the presidency without Ohio. That sounds like a baseball stat – something to ramble off while you’re waiting for the pitch but it doesn’t really matter. It has 18 electoral votes. Trump won it by 8 points. Obama won the state both times, but by smaller margins.
South Carolina’s 9 electoral votes traditionally go to Republicans. But this year, it’s not about the electoral votes. It’s about Lindsey Graham. Once critical of Trump, he has had a change in tune, and the nation noticed. He faces Jaime Harrison who has set fundraising records. Pennsylvania is worth 20 electoral votes. It voted for Trump very narrowly. However, it voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012. Expect pundits to be watching Pennsylvania closely on election night. Texas has 38 electoral votes and hasn’t voted for a Democrat since Carter. A lot of pundits are talking about Texas moving slowly to the left over the years, and some websites are only listing it as “lean right,” but I personally feel that’s making a mountain out of a mole hill just to get clicks. Wisconsin has 10 electoral votes. And interestingly, Wisconsin residents voted on their 10 electoral voters earlier this year. Trump won it narrowly in 2016, and Obama won it his two terms, making this a true swing state. All the polls point to Trump losing Wisconsin this year. However, all the polls pointed to Trump losing Wisconsin in 2016, but he won it despite predictions. Chris Lundy News Editor

Well, it seems as if fall is now officially here! After a hot summer season, these cooler temperatures are a nice relief! I hope everyone is enjoying the season and picking the perfect pumpkins. I have been staying busy and I would like to take some time to share what I have been up to around Monmouth County. Last week, my fellow Freeholders and I along with County Clerk Christine Hanlon, Sea Bright Mayor Brian Kelly, Bradley Beach Mayor Gary Engelstad and Asbury Park Councilperson Eileen Chapman held an end-of-summer press conference to ref lect on the 2020 summer season in Monmouth County As liaison to the County’s Department of Public Infor mation and Tourism, I host this event in a different shore town at the conclusion of every summer season to discuss how our businesses and municipalities fared through the busiest time of year. Due to COVID-19, this year’s summer season was a little different than any other year and our beach towns faced many obstacles that they had to overcome. Despite many obstacles in their way, our beach towns did a great job planning and then adapting to the ever-changing social-distancing guidelines put forth by the State. It took teamwork and constant communication between the County and our shore towns to ensure we were able to provide beach goers with a safe place to visit and enjoy during this unprecedented summer season. The beach town’s participation in the County’s “Know Before You Go” campaign was helpful to inform visitors on the rules and regulations of their desired destination and also provided them with beach badge sale information. I am excited to announce that our beaches brought in over $23.5 million in total beach revenue this summer.
While we are still waiting on the final number from a few towns, we’ve already exceeded the $23 million total is 2019! The County has received an incredible amount of positive feedback from municipalities, businesses, residents and visitors who all enjoyed the benefits of the beautiful weather we had this summer. As cooler weather creeps in, it is important we continue to support our local businesses. Fall is one of the best times to visit Monmouth County and our restaurants, downtowns and stores have a lot to offer to our residents and visitors long past the last warm beach day. Please continue to suppor t our small businesses however you can! To find fun Fall activities in Monmouth Count y, you can visit growninmonmouth.com. Lastly, I want to thank Mayor Kelly and Woody’s owner, Chris Wood, for allowing us to host our press conference at Woody’s in Sea Bright. On another note, last week I had the honor of attending the Mary’s Place by the Sea Re-Opening Ceremony in Ocea n G rove. For t hose who don’t know, Mary’s Place is a respite home for women who are receiving treatment for cancer. They offer integrative ser vices to women with cancer and provide rest and support during this challenging time in their lives. I am proud to support such a wonderful organization that provides support to women in our community who are battling cancer. Lastly, I want to remind our small business community that there is still Monmouth County CARES Act grant money available! Please visit w w w. monmouthcountycares.com for more information or to apply for the grant. The application is relatively simple and all you need is your tax return to get started. To date, we have received more than 2,388 applications and dispersed more than $15.5 million. As always, it’s a privilege to serve as your Freeholder.

By Alyssa Riccardi MANCHESTER – After being charged with theft back in September, the owner of a Rumson jewelry store is facing more charges after 11 new victims came forward. A total of $300,00 has been stolen from the new victims after the jeweler failed to return jewelry. Anthony Goltsch, of Manchester Township and the owner of the Golden Goose jewelry store located at 7 West River Road in Rumson, executed his thefts by either not returning jewelry that was brought in for redesign or repair and not paying the victims from their consigned items. Goltsch is also a member of the Manchester Township School Board. The initial investigation revealed that three victims failed to receive any payment from Goltsch. After the first charge, 11 new victims stepped forward with fourteen victims being identified and possibly more victims to come forward. According to police, these are the statements from the 11 victims: Victim 1 consigned a ring with an appraised value of $45,000 to Goltsch in April 2019. Victim has not received any payment for the ring and has attempted to get the ring back
on numerous occasions, but Goltsch has not returned or paid the victim for the ring. Victim 2 gave Goltsch a large quantity of sterling silver jewelry to melt in November 2015. The jewelry has an estimated value between $5,000 and $10,000, but the victim has to-date not received payment from Goltsch. Victim 3 consigned a watch with an estimated value of $1,800 in July 2019. Victim has not received any payment for the watch and has attempted to get the watch back on numerous occasions, but Goltsch has not returned or paid for the watch. Victim 4 paid Goltsch a deposit of $6,900 for a ring in June 2020. Goltsch did not deliver the ring but the victim was able to reverse the charge on his credit card. Victim 5 paid Goltsch $34,500 for a watch between March and June 2018. The watch was never delivered by Goltsch, and he has refused to refund the money. Victim 6 paid Goltsch a total of $98,704 between November 2019 and February 2020 for both gold and silver coins. The victim has not received the coins despite numerous follow-ups with Goltsch. Victim 7, who is a jewelry dealer, provided diamonds on at least eight occasions to Goltsch to sell between April 2018 and June 2019. Despite numerous requests for payment or a return of the diamonds, Goltsch failed to pay or make a return. The total amount of the theft for this victim is $98,500. Victim 8 in March 2019, victim handed over earrings to Goltsch for repairs. Despite multiple requests made to Goltsch, he has refused to return the items valued between $700 and $1,000. Victim 9 turned over to Goltsch in June 2019, assorted gold jewelry for melting. To-date, the victim has not received payment for the assorted gold jewelry valued at approximately $3,500. Victim 10 gave Goltsch assorted jewelry valued at approximately $10,000 on consignment in September 2019. The victim followed up with Goltsch but to-date has not received payment for the assorted jewelry, and he has refused to return the jewelry. Victim 11 left her watch with Goltsch for repair in April 2019. The victim was charged $535 for the repair in August 2019. The victim has followed up numerous times, but has not received back from Goltsch the watch, valued at approximately $5,000. With a new total of approximately $560,000 of jewelry stolen, Goltsch has been charged with another count of Theft by Failure to Make Required Disposition of Property Received. If convicted of the Theft charge, Goltsch faces a sentence of five to ten years in a New Jersey state prison on each count.

From The Desk Of Governor Murphy: COVID-19 Transparency Website Launched
TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy announced the launch of New Jersey’s COVID-19 Transparency website, providing oversight and public confidence in the expenditure of federal recovery funds as the State continues to mana ge t he COV I D -19 p a nde m ic. T he announcement of the website follows the Gover nor’s signing of Executive Order No. 166 on July 17, 2020, which established the Governor’s Disaster Recovery Office (GDRO) and COVID-19 Compliance and Oversight Task Force. “New Jerseyans deserve to know how
the State is addressing the COVID-19 crisis and how their taxpayer dollars are being spent,” said Governor Murphy. “This website represents a crucial step in our commitment to transparency during the ongoing pandemic.” The website can be found here: nj.gov/ covid19oversight/ “The COVID-19 transparency site will centralize information for the public on federal funding data and federally-funded contracts to ensure New Jerseyans that the State is properly stewarding c oron av i r u s r e c ove r y f u nd s ,” s a id
Daniel J. Kelly, Executive Director, Governor’s Disaster Recovery Office. “The site is emblematic of Governor Murphy’s commitment to transparency and oversight in order to guard against fraud, waste, and abuse in the expenditure of desperately-needed COVID-19 recovery funding.” “The new COVID-19 Oversight website is designed to shine a bright light on how federal money is being spent on New Jersey’s recovery efforts, and to serve as a resource for New Jersey residents,” said Acting State Comptroller Kevin D.
Walsh. “Publicly posting contracts that pertain to New Jersey’s recovery from COVID-19 means that our recovery from this crisis is proceeding with maximum transparency and accountability to taxpayers.” “As a person within Information Technology, it’s always a moment of pride when a project with a specific delivery deadline and specific budget is delivered on time and on budget,” said Chris Rein, Chief Technology Officer for the State of New Jersey. “Leveraging existing assets (Murphy - See Page 15)
Sciatica
T
By: Paul Eberle, MS, PT, Whiting Physical Therapist
he Sciatic Nerve is the largest nerve in the body. It begins in the lower back, travels through the buttock and the back of the thigh, divides into two nerves at the knee and ends at your toes. The term “sciatica” refers to a set of symptoms including pain in the low back, buttock, and legs, which can radiate below the knee to the feet and toes. This radiating pain can be experienced in one or both legs along with numbness, tingling and muscle weakness in the hips, knees and ankles. It is important to understand that the term “sciatica” does not describe the specific causes of the radiating pain, which many individuals from their twenties to their nineties experience. There are two common causes of sciatic pain. Sciatic pain is most commonly caused by compression of lumbar or sacral nerve roots as they exit the spinal cord. The most common cause for nerve compression causing sciatica in the younger population is lumbar disc herniation. It has been reported that as high as 90% of all cases of sciatic pain are due to spinal disc herniations which impinge upon the nerve roots where the sciatic nerve originates. The compression or pressing of the nerve roots can cause pain, tingling, muscle weakness, or poor muscle control of the areas supplied by the sciatic nerve. Individuals with lumbar disc herniations, also known as lumbar disc bulges or slipped discs, usually experience increased radiating sciatic pain with forward bending and sitting. Work and daily activities often become limited. Physical therapy and instruction in patient specific exercises to reduce discal nerve impingement and to increase spinal flexibility and core strength have consistently shown to decrease and eliminate sciatic and lumbar pain. The McKenzie approach is a widely used physical therapy regimen. In this approach patients repeatedly perform specific exercises which mechanically reduce the process of disc herniation as discal material (nucleus propulsus) is pressed away from the irritated nerve roots and back toward or into the outer casing of the disc (annulus fibrosus). Treatment then focuses on strengthening postural muscles of the spine and trunk to
limit the possibility of symptom recurrence. The second most common cause of sciatic pain is lumbar spinal stenosis. Most people with lumbar spinal stenosis are over the age of fifty. It is estimated that more than 400,000 people in the United States have leg and/or lower back pain which is attributed to lumbar stenosis. The term stenosis means “choking” and is the result of the spinal cord or nerve roots being compressed within the spinal column. Stenosis is often the result of joint and disc degeneration. Sciatica from lumbar spinal stenosis usually progresses slowly and often becomes more severe with time. The low back pain and radiating buttock or leg pain will often subside for periods but, unfortunately, will often return. In most cases people with lumbar stenosis have pain with standing, walking and transitioning from a sitting to a standing position. This is due to the fact that when the lumbar spine is extended or straight, the nerve roots have less room as they exit the spinal cord and can be compressed. Patients with lumbar stenosis usually have relief when sitting and often prefer to stand with a slouched posture which reduces nerve compression and pain. The exercise prescription for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis focuses on increasing flexibility in the spine and legs and maximizing patient walking and daily activity tolerance without worsening pain. Patients are often not able to tolerate exercise in the standing position due to the irritation of tight muscles; therefore focus is initially on loosening up those muscles to decrease symptoms. Once symptom reduction begins, the patient can usually tolerate exercises to strengthen the lower extremities, spine and trunk in positions, notably standing, where they had experienced pain during the day. The goal is to have the patient be able to perform exercises and stretches which allow them to increase their tolerance to walking and standing activities. The third most common cause of sciatica is piriformis syndrome. In the past it was believed to cause approximately 6% of reported cases of sciatica, however recent EMG studies have shown that piriformis syndrome may be a more common source of sciatica. The sciatic nerve runs deep through the buttocks just beneath the
piriformis muscle. In 10 to 15% of individuals however, it is believed the nerve runs directly through the muscle. These individuals may be at an increased risk of piriformis syndrome. Patients with piriformis syndrome usually feel worse in seated positions, as increased pressure is placed on the sciatic nerve. This is often exacerbated in individuals who sit on their wallet. Common causes are overexercising and prolonged sitting and it appears to be more common in women. Buttock and sciatic pain resulting from piriformis syndrome respond well to physical therapy when properly diagnosed and treated. Physical therapy treatment begins with a thorough evaluation of the hip joint and spine followed by specific manual therapy techniques performed by an experienced therapist. The goal of physical therapy treatment is to allow the piriformis muscle to relax and lengthen, relieving the pressure on the sciatic nerve. Modalities including moist heat and ultrasound often assist in allowing the piriformis muscle to relax. Once pain levels are reduced, specific patient exercises and stretches can be taught, allowing patients to control and eliminate their sciatica. PAUL EBERLE, MS, PT

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Social Worker’s License Revoked For Sexual Misconduct With Student
By Alyssa Riccardi NEW JERSEY –A New Jersey social worker had her license permanently revoked after engaging in criminal sexual contact with a teenage student she was counseling. According to the Final Consent Order, Tara Cardinale, 39, of Washington Township, engaged in inappropriate conduct with a student who was under the age of 18. Cardinale was serving as the student’s primary therapist at the Bergen County school where she worked. “This licensee engaged in sexual conduct with a teenager under her professional supervision, not only violating our criminal laws, but also committing an appalling breach of basic ethics and professional standards,” said Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal. “The grave professional consequences this social worker faces are proof of our determination to protect the public, and the integrity of the vast majority of mental health professionals who work tirelessly for their clients
every day.” The Board found that Cardinale’s actions were not only a criminal offense, but also professional misconduct. This led to the Board revoking her license to practice in New Jersey permanently. “The conduct of this therapist raised serious questions about her professional judgment and fitness to practice,” said Paul R. Rodríguez, Acting Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs. “One of the greatest harms mental healthcare providers can inflict on their clients and the profession is exploiting the trust bestowed on them to manipulate vulnerable individuals. Protecting the public from the violation of this trust justifies the permanent revocation of her license.” Anyone who feels that they are a victim of misconduct by a licensed healthcare professional can file an online complaint with the State Division of Consumer Affairs by visiting njconsumeraffairs. gov/bme/Pages/default.aspx or by calling 973504-6200 to request a complaint form.

Ginger Improves Memory And Reduces Pain
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Ginger is a something you’ve probably walked past a thousand times in the grocery store and passed up. It has some incredible medicinal benefits and offers people a natural approach to many ailments. Many women use ginger for morning sickness during pregnancy. Sometimes you see it crystallized with sugar to improve flavor. But today I’m talking about the fresh ginger root which you can buy in food markets. Known officially as Zingiber officinale, ginger contains many therapeutic compounds, all of which have well-documented medicinal actions in the body. In studies with people who ate dried ginger spice in their meals, 75 percent experienced relief from arthritic pain and swelling! Ginger contains dozens of compounds which have pharmacological activity. Sometimes you have to heat the ginger to see a specific compound. For example, zingerone is negligible in fresh ginger, however cooking it transforms the gingerol to zingerone. The dried (powdered) ginger spice does contain zingerone in it. We think of ginger (either fresh or powdered) as a flavor agent, but ginger is powerful medicine. It is an antioxidant and strong analgesic. It could thin the blood so you have to avoid it (or minimize it) if you are supported on anticoagulant medications. Zingerone is well researched and it’s incredible. Studies have determined that it reduces inflammation, improves blood
sugar, eases muscle pain and spasms, helps with arthritis, speeds fat breakdown and ramps up immune function. In an animal study, ginger compounds protected rodents from brain damage and memory loss so now drug companies are trying to morph it and patent it into an Alzheimer’s drug. I say just eat it! Ginger can block your enzyme xanthine oxidase which is good because that reduces ROS (reactive oxygen species). So the fact that ginger can degrade these ROS free radicals means it protects your DNA and mitochondria. In fact, ginger promotes mitochondrial health and these mito store energy for you in the form of ATP. If you have liver disease, or hepatic injury (for example, alcohol-related, or hepatitis), consider ginger in all of your recipes because studies show that zingerone has a hepatoprotective effect. Here’s another fun fact. Ginger might have some heavy metal binding abilities, because it can reduce cadmium levels according to animal studies. It can also reduce the body’s burden of organophosphate pesticides! If you have a PON1 gene, make ginger your friend! Unfortunately, it cannot bind gadolinium from MRIs. Not only does ginger spice up your recipes, it makes for a quick and delicious tea. I have a recipe for this at my website, as well as a free ebook for you called “Spices that Heal.” Ginger is a delicious, safe and affordable way to improve health while adding a warming spice to your meals.

In this meeting the first half of the mov ie w i l l b e show n a nd me et i ng participants can provide feedback and discuss how the film’s lessons relate to their own and their loved ones’ lives.
The second half of the f ilm will be shown at the November meeting. According to the f ilm maker Joh n Gomez, “‘When I Stutter’ reveals the humanity that exists within an often mysterious malady. Over the course of nearly five years, 19 people (from all walks of life) shared stories about how stuttering has impacted their lives. From the depths of hopelessness to the heights of redemption, these stories will change how you view stuttering.” To sign up to participate in the meeting, send an email with your name and phone number to chapter leader Joanne Su m mer at joan nesu m mer2@g mail. com.

Summer:
Continued From Page 1 and fi nding the best practices from one another. “I’m pleased to announce our beaches brought in over $23.5 million in total beach badge revenue this summer,” said Freeholder Director Arnone. “While we’re still waiting on the final number from a few towns that just wrapped up an extended season, we’ve already exceeded the $23 million total in 2019.” In Monmouth County, tourism brings in more than 8.9 million visitors annually and $2.6 billion in visitor spending. Although the 2020 season statistics will not be known until 2021, Freeholder Director Arnone expects a big dip in visitor spending. “Our small business community was hit extremely hard by the pandemic and state-
wide shutdown,” said Arnone. “While our beaches reopened in time for the Memorial Day holiday weekend, the State shutdown left a majority of our businesses closed until mid-June. Moreover, our restaurants and other food establishments were prohibited from providing indoor dining all summer.” He applauded the municipalities that worked together with the business community swiftly to arrange pedestrian plazas so restaurants and stores could present outdoor dining and shopping. “As cooler weather creeps in, it is important we continue to support our local businesses. Fall is one of the best times to visit Monmouth County and our restaurants, downtowns and stores have a lot to offer to our residents and visitors long past the last warm beach day,” said Freeholder Director Arnone.

Inside The Law Workers’ Compensation Basics
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Christopher R. Shea, Esq.and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specifically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act. Primarily, should your injury require medical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for reasonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau. In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered. In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven (7) days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insurance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to seventy percent (70%) of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sustained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner. Should permanent effects of your injury remain after achieving a medical plateau, you may be entitled to benefits to compensate for those permanent effects. This is based on a statutory value determined according to the part of your body which was injured and the permanent residuals of your treatment and injury. This process progresses after your physician has returned you to gainful employment. In the event that you are deemed medically unable to return to work, you may be entitled to total disability benefits.
The questions often arises, “What happens if I am injured during Christopher R. Shea Esq. the course of my duties as a volunteer for a municipality?” It has been determined that volunteer fi refighters, first aid or rescue squad workers, ambulance drivers, forest fire wardens or firefighters, board of education members and auxiliary or special reserve police officers are provided for within the Workers’ Compensation Act in New Jersey. Although, as a volunteer as listed above one would not have been compensated for the acts performed within the scope of that position, if injured while performing those duties, and medically unable to work, you would be entitled to compensation at the maximum rate for the year of that injury. Furthermore, the injured volunteer is entitled to reasonable and necessary medical treatment as if an employee. In the event that the volunteer suffers permanent residuals from the injury in question, the volunteer would also have the right to seek payment for those residuals, the same as if a paid employee.

Shea & Associates is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney.

Student Told To Leave Virtual Class For Having Trump Flag
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – The remote learning conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic collided with the nation’s politically charged environment when a township high school student was asked to leave class for having a Trump flag visible behind him. Anthony Ribeiro, a 17-year-old Toms River High School North junior, received a birthday present from his aunt earlier in the week in the form of a flag supporting President Donald Trump. Ribeiro, who has taken an interest in politics, put the flag in his room. While nothing was said of this for his first six classes, it changed during his last class of the day on October 8, chemistry. According to the student, the teacher said that the virtual classroom was no place for politics and that he’d have to remove the flag or leave the session. Ribeiro was at first confused and surprised that this was happening. He refused to remove it and his teacher told him ‘bye,’ disconnecting him from the rest of the 20 members of the class. The student however said that his teacher had brought politics up during the first week of class in September. “The school set up a system where a period of 15 minutes between every other class where you would talk about mental health and talk about what was going on in the world and (the teacher) decided to talk about global warming for most of the days and he would bring politics into it.
In learning, you need to have politics in social studies or history but teachers have to be down the middle when it comes to being a Democrat or Republican,” Ribeiro said. The student added, “he said Republicans don’t believe in climate change or global warming and Joe Biden and the Democrats are the people that will put light on what the science is to global warming. In one of his class periods he said that is why they have my vote this year in the election and hopefully in the future they will have yours. He said Republicans deny global warming is even a thing, which made it political.” Ribeiro said he keeps an open mind to all views. “I went through the whole day and all the other teachers didn’t say anything and I got to his class which is my last of the day. “I was the first in because I make sure I am on time but he looked up at the screen, didn’t say anything and as people came in, he took attendance and then said ‘Anthony take the flag down right now.’ My mic was muted because that is one of the requirements for meets this year and shook my head no and he said (his) room wasn’t a place for politics and that was not acceptable and ‘if you aren’t going to take it down you will have to get out of this class.’ I waved and I then left.” Ribeiro did note that his English teacher had asked a student to remove his Make America Great hat earlier in the school year but that teacher did not say anything to him about his
flag draped on the wall in the background of his home. He said some of his fellow students had found it hypocritical for his teacher to have him removed from class. “A couple people texted me through social media afterward and said it was crazy for him to say there was no politics in his room when he makes political remarks.” Ribeiro’s mother, Tara Jost was not pleased to hear that her son had been asked to leave the classroom and immediately contacted the school. She reached out to the school superintendent and high school principal. “This is in my own house,” Jost said and while she and her son understand that some restrictions are in place for students not to wear pajamas or be in bed during their online instruction that there were no rules known about decorations in a room. She said Asst. Superintendent Cara DiMeo had said the teacher’s actions were wrong in his asking her son to leave class and that the matter had been discussed with him. Jost said that this surprised her which made what happened to her honor roll student even more shocking. “I said how dare he (the teacher) tell my son to leave his classroom because of something I have in my home. He’s a science teacher number one, number two we’re Americans and we all have the right in what we believe in and he was talking politics the first week of class which he has no right to do in telling them who to vote
for,” she said. If a student wore a Trump shirt to school, during in-person education, they would not be asked to leave, she said. She said that the vice principal said Gilman should not have removed her son from class but there was no admission regarding to the claim that the teacher spoke about or urged students to vote Democrat in relation to issues of global warming and climate change. She said around 20 students or more might disagree with that position who heard his statements. “This is going crazy, with remote learning they are telling you what you can’t have in your home?” Jost said. The situation continued on October 9 when Ribeiro’s English teacher who his mother said was Mrs. DeRose, noticed the Trump flag and told him to remove it or he would have to leave the class. He agreed to do so but his mother wished he had not. Ribeiro said he was a year away from being able to vote and during the pandemic has become very active in following the news and learning more about the political world. He noted being well aware of how divided people are at the current time including division within families and friends who have differing viewpoints. A representative from the district said that they cannot comment since it is an internal matter.

By Bob Vosseller FARMINGDALE – Girl Scouts are continuing to lead the way with safe, outdoor fundraising events. They recently honored 10 women from Ocean and Monmouth counties - including three from Toms River - with the Girl Scout Phenom Award. Members of Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore recognized the many achievements of local young women in business, education, engineering, health care, law enforcement and community service at its fifth annual Phenomenal Women Under 40 event in Farmingdale. More than 150 people gathered outdoors at the organization’s Program Activity Center to celebrate the Phenom Award recipients and to support the Girl Scout mission during challenging times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Girl Scouts Chief Executive Officer Eileen Higgins said, “these phenomenal women exemplify the mission and spirit of Girl Scouts in their wide-ranging careers and in their communities.” She added, “they serve as role models and mentors to our young girls, who are exploring their own potential through the Girl Scout experience in an unprecedented time.” The Phenom Award recognizes emerging leaders from Monmouth and Ocean counties not only for their accomplishments to date, but also for the potential of what they might achieve in their future, Higgins explained, adding that they were nominated through a public process and selected by a panel of former Phenom recipients. This year’s Phenom Award recipients include: Victoria Berner, Toms River, nurse manager at Ocean Medical Center in Brick Township, and volunteer with Caregiver Volunteers of
Central Jersey. Lindsey Carver, Farmingdale, production marketing manager for Bristol Myers Squibb Pharmaceutical in Princeton, and troop leader of Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore Brownie Troop 1066. Amy Cerulo, Middletown, principal of Schroth School, part of the LADACIN Network in Wanamassa, and member of a local running group for women. Out of concern for safety due to her work with children, Cerulo did not attend the event. Keely Davenport, Toms River, associate director of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and co-founder of Exit 82 Theater Company, both in Toms River, and a former Girl Scout. Carley Dietrick, Oceanport, business development representative at Seacrest Recovery Center in Eatontown, volunteer mentor and coordinator of Tigger House Foundation’s Student Alliance program in Red Bank, and a former Girl Scout. Georgette Kyriacou, Toms River, director of engineering consulting at FWH Consulting in Toms River, a member of the U.S. Air Force Reserve, and president of the Women’s Leadership Committee of the Community Associations Institute of New Jersey. Lindsey Most, a detective with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office in Toms River and volunteer fundraiser for many causes including multiple sclerosis, the American Heart Association, All About Autism, and the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania. She is a former Girl Scout. Susan Pagano, Howell, program manager of business career and technology training at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, and founder of The Food Recovery Network at Monmouth University.
Chelsea Pascoe, Pine Beach, founder and president of By The Sea Media in Forked River, freelance writer, and lifetime member of Girl Scouts. She lends a hand to the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce and a local networking group. Lauren Staub, Asbury Park, owner of The Party Fairy LLC, volunteer for organizations across New Jersey to help combat opioid addiction, and former Girl Scout. The event raised over $20,000 that will benefit leadership activities offered by the nonprofit to help girls from all backgrounds in Monmouth and Ocean counties develop courage, confidence, and character to make the world a better place. In expressing appreciation for the support, Higgins noted that it has been a “whirlwind year” for Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore, hit
hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. “We had to find new ways to offer our groundbreaking leadership programming for girls, regardless of the obstacles in our way. Today, we are offering some programs in person when possible, but many of our activities are virtual now. “Regardless of how girls participate in Girl Scouts, we’re providing a sense of stability and normalcy for girls and their families in a challenging time. The world needs Girl Scouts now, more than ever,” Higgins added. The evening included a flag ceremony led by a Girl Scout color guard, the national anthem sung by Phenom honoree Staub and a program featuring videos of each Phenom Award recipient. Guests enjoyed individual picnic dinners, appetizers, and desserts, as well as beverages on tap from a vintage car and treats from an ice cream truck. Serving as event chairpersons were past Phenom recipients: Jamie Bertram, Lakewood BlueClaws; Kate Dowd, New Jersey Resources; and Stephanie Toal, OceanFirst Foundation. The emcee was Chelsea Masterson, a lifelong member of Girl Scouts.

in our f ield,” Scalo says. For the past three decades, that has been the hallmark of the Bartley experience for residents and the staff that serve their health care needs. Bartley Healthcare opened as a 120-bed skilled nursing home in 1985, one year after breaking ground. Scalo says the facility’s first residents were in their seventies, but stayed into their eighties and late nineties. Bar tley H ealthc are began expanding its’ range of services and facilities by opening a memory care unit and a post-acute rehabilitation unit where patients typically stay less than 30 days, then return to their homes. Today, Bartley Healthcare is a 234-bed facility offering a full range of skilled nursing services for orthopedic conditions and post-surgical joint replacements; cardiac and post-cardiac surgery recovery programs; enteral feeding; IV therapy, multiple trauma; pain management; respiratory; stroke; tracheostomy; and wound care.

Healthcare Provides Home Sweet Home For Adult Residents There’s no place like home, and for seniors at all stages of their adult lives, there’s no place like Bartley Healthcare Nursing, Rehabilitation and The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living. Conveniently located off County Line Road in Jackson, you’ll receive a friendly greeting and a welcoming smile from staff members or Bartley residents. One of them may be Emilia Harrison, who turned 93 years old on December 4, 2015, and has been a Bartley resident for over five years. “I don’t know where the time went,” she tells a visitor. Emilia enjoys soaking up the sunshine outdoors on a regular basis, but says that residents have a wide variety of activities from which to choose. “You do what you want to do,” she says. For thirty years, Bartley Healthcare has provided
that flexibility to seniors requiring a wide range of facility services, thanks to Chief Executive Officer Philip Scalo and his physician partners. “My partners had a very big practice in Jackson,” Scalo says. “We thought we could open a facility and do a very good job meeting residents’ needs.” With his financial and legal expertise, Scalo and his physician partners make a good team. Others think so, too. The Orchards at Bartley has rec eived nu merous awards for excellence from the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services in partnership with the Healthcare Asso ciation of New Jersey (HCANJ); the American Healthcare Association/ National Center for Assisted Living; and the Assisted Living Federation of America. “What we’ve always tried to do is be leaders

Even after a resident leaves Bar tley Healthcare, the facility ensures their continued rehabilitation by providing a follow-up program.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Explore the latest trends and treasures with a special someone, but remember you must eventually head back to normal life. The week ahead may offer plenty of excitement and open your eyes to a realm of possibilities. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Run your home base like a business.

company of others wherever you go. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Glamor and romance are in abundant supply. A loved one might expect some pampering, although your thoughts may be focused on creating dollars as the week begins.
