By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Mayor Kenneth Palmer told members of the Township Council that a recurring problem has ret ur ned in the form of illegal all-terrain vehicle use. “Recently we’ve gotten a number of ATV complaints. The increase of the ATVs are not just in the woods like the fi re trails but out in different (Manchester) communities,” the mayor said. “The police department has come up with a specific enforcement detail which they are going to be implementing. They are addressing that.”
The mayor said he also spoke with Verizon regarding complaints of a different form. “Some of the complaints I’ve received from different senior communities in Whiting is the lack of choices for internet providers and cable providers.” “On the east side of town Verizon did come into town so you have a choice of Comcast or Fios. The west side of town, Whiting does not have the option of Verizon,” the mayor added. Mayor Palmer said he spoke with a representative of Verizon who indicated there were no (Council- See Page 8)

Township Councilman Robert Hudak reported that the Planning Board held a special meeting on January 21 to review

Manchester Says Farewell To Board Member, Honors Teacher
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER - Superintendent of Schools David Trethaway provided a big thanks to Jennifer Hudak on behalf of the township’s school board. Hudak ended her nine-year tenure on the panel recently. “Thank you Mrs. Hudak. Nine
years on the board goes by quickly sometimes, and sometimes it doesn’t, but the one thing I always say when we talk about board members is I just hope that they are there for the right reason and we’ve been very fortunate here in Manchester,” Trethaway said. He added that Hudak “has been here
for the right reasons. She’s always been an advocate for the students at all different levels, whether it’s AP students, special needs students, basic skills students, she’s always been an advocate.” “You always look to a board member for a voice of reason and it’s
important to get board members like Jenn who are in the community, who have children in the community, have experience as a teacher, to be that voice of reason. So whatever decisions she made I think, whether yes or no, it was always based on (Farewell - See Page 7)
School Plans Virtual Dr. Martin Luther King Tribute
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – A school district tradition had to be canceled this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. tribute and Gospel Chorus performance that would normally have been held last month, was cancelled due to the coronavirus health crisis. The school district will instead host a multimedia presentation to be presented virtually on February 26, that will include
content from previous tributes and other material submitted by the public. Evelyn Swift, the organizer of the event said that the committee is seeking submissions to help them create a montage of moments, which will be edited by Manchester Township High School Channel 21 students under the direction of Keith Eckert. In order to submit content Swift asked that those interested to complete the participation form found at manchestertwp. org/ (under featured news and events). Or-

the subject of a redevelopment plan at 2132 Route 37 near Pine Lake Park. Hudak, who serves as liaison between the Council and the Planning Board, noted that the application had been “approved unanimously by the board.” Manchester Environmental Commissioner Peggy Middaugh told The Manchester Times, “the acute care facility that we reviewed is on Route 37 next to the golf course. We received concerns from a couple of residents on the abutting lots and sent an interoffice memo to the Planning Board asking that the mature trees along the residential property line be preserved.” She said the development had made some changes and that the applicant had spoken to neighbors near the site “about trying to make it better for them.” Middaugh previously served as the chair of the Manchester Environmental Commission. During the panel’s reorganization meeting held last month, Commissioner Rory Wells took over that role. The new co-chair is Commissioner Genevieve Stavalo. During that meeting “we discussed new goals and objectives for 2021,” Middaugh said. Among those goals were to develop a closer relationship with the Zoning Board similar to the Commission’s rapport with the Township Planning Board. The Commission also plans to focus on green infrastructure, particularly stormwater measures and work with the Green The General’s

near a Wendy’s restaurant which is slated for medical office building project. Environmental Commission member Bob Cook said “they are handling drainage on this property according to the new stormwater management rules. There will be two recharge ponds.” Middaugh confi rmed at the time that the lot next to Wendy’s was flooded and had a “lot of wetlands and plants.” “The applicant is asking for a variance to not have as many shade trees. They said there isn’t vegetation, but there is. The way it is being described is different from the way it actually is,” Middaugh said. Former Township Environmental Commission member Mary Demarest-Paraan previously said the site had been neglected and needed attention and that it had previously been used as a junkyard. She told The Manchester Times that the she wasn’t “too concerned about the standing water or the trash. Both of those items will be eliminated upon completion of the construction.” “The site is collecting water because it has not been graded or improved and was likely used to stage materials during construction of the other parts of the shopping center. It is normal for water to collect there since it is a low spot that has been waiting to be developed.” Paraan added, “the engineering plans that were submitted, specifically the utilities plan, shows the site piping plan. There will be three new bioretention basins around the outer perimeter that connect to each other and to the large basin that

already exists.” “The property management should keep the site free of trash until construction begins,” Paraan said. Regarding environmental interests in the township, Councilman James Vaccaro discussed further the need for an energy master plan during a Manchester Council meeting. “I would like to encourage and ask council to discuss and implement a 10year energy master plan for Manchester Township that encompasses the use of renewable energy of wind, geothermal and more uses of solar energy applications.” “There are solar generators that provide power for our parking lots and recreational areas. Most importantly, electric cars with high-speed charging stations are also needed. We need to plan for high-speed charging station sites that will be needed in the near future, especially in Manchester Township,” Councilman Vaccaro added. Councilman Vaccaro also reported to residents and his fellow council members that he had attended a recent call-in format Pinelands Municipal Council meeting held in Bass River. The subject of that meeting was the status of the pilot funding for the Garden State Preservation Trust Fund. “At this time there has been no gubernatorial senate or assembly resolution on the matter,” Vaccaro said. He added the next Pinelands Municipal Council meeting will be March 9 and will include the installation of Pineland Municipal executive officers. Rt. 539

Team toward silver Sustainable Jersey certification. Back in 2009, the Sustainable Jersey program was created to empower New Jersey municipalities to build a better world for future generations with the tools, training, and fi nancial incentives necessary to pursue critical sustainability initiatives. Currently, there are over 455 communities in New Jersey registered under the program. “Sustainable Jersey towns and cities implement practices that lead to cost savings in energy, water and garbage bills. The program helps communities improve efficiency, cut waste and stimulate their local economies. Registered towns get special priority access and notification of incentives and grants, and are eligible for the Sustainable Jersey Grants Program, which has provided over $5.6 million for community-based initiatives across New Jersey,” Sustainable Jersey states on their website. “Sustainable Jersey delivers the research, best practices and technical assistance you need to implement sustainable solutions for your community. Regular training workshops, webinars and regional hub meetings provide your town with connections to the leading experts in important municipal sustainability issues.” Middaugh said the Commission is also planning to have a speaker series on topics of interest and to prepare/education residents and businesses for statewide plastics ban. The Commission had previously noted the buildup of water and some debris on property at 420 Lacey Road in Whiting

He added, “she has always been respectful and knowledgeable, she knew what the role of the board was and she was a strong advocate, as I said, for all those people. Most important is that she was always ethical and again all her decisions were based on what she felt was best for our students here.” “I want to congratulate you and thank you for nine years on the board and for some really outstanding service to our district. We’ll miss you,” Trethaway said. The recipient of those accolades responded saying, “I just want to thank Mr. Trethaway and all the board members. This was a difficult decision for me because I have been doing this for nine years and I did join the board because I grew up in Manchester.” Hudak added, “I graduated from Manchester High School. My husband and I moved from Monmouth County and decided to raise our children here and Manchester has always just been a part of who I am. At the same time, you know my own children are getting older. I have two in college and I have one left in high school and I really just felt like I was at a point where I wanted to, you know, try to squeeze out every last moment with them that I can.”
The Manchester Times, February 13, 2021, Page 7 “I’m going to miss my daily talks with Dave – I’m sure he’s going to miss hearing from me. I have him on speed dial. I think you know everybody’s here for the right reason. Thank you very much,” Hudak said. Kathleen Antonelli was honored as Ridgeway School 2020 Teacher of the Year during the recent Board of Education meeting. Antonelli, who has been a teacher for over 30 years, was described by Ridgeway School Principal Nikki Mazur as someone “who puts her whole heart and soul into her job. She has helped many, many special education students and their families feel valued and loved.” “We have many wonderful teachers here but what sets her apart is her golden heart. Mrs. Antonelli will volunteer to help anyone in need. She is always willing to help any member of our Ridgeway community,” Mazur added. Antonelli has served as a mentor teacher in a special education setting. “I am so honored to receive this award for the second time. What I have learned over the years is that it takes a village and I have to say I have the best most amazing village. “I work with the most caring, dedicated people and I must acknowledge the phenomenal families of my students. They are always positive and understanding,” Antonelli said. During that meeting, School Board members listened to a PowerPoint Presentation concerning New Jersey Social and Emo-

plans “to go up there. It is really based on the density of population. I explained to her we probably have around 8,000 homes out there but that is just not enough to entice them to make the capital investment to come out to Whiting at this point.” In other news, the mayor said he heard “John Richie is again going to be appointed as our municipal alliance coordinator. I can tell you John is devoted to the job. He is very good and very through. He really does care about the program and the township and I appreciate that he and his wife take the time to run the municipal alliance it is not an easy task.” “No, it is thankless,” Council Vice President Joan Brush said having experience serving on the Alliance. “It is long hours you really don’t get anything for it other than knowing you are serving and doing a great job for the town,” the mayor added. “Thank you to John and his wife.” “The sad part about that is pretty much all the alliances had their funding cut in half by the state,” Brush added. “They did, state wide and definitely county wide which makes it even tougher,” Mayor Palmer said. Councilman Sam Fusaro told the council that meetings regarding the updating and revision of the township’s master plan are continuing. “We started in October or November but we were having meetings twice a month. I don’t want to use Zoom because we had one meeting of Zoom and it really didn’t work for the master plan.” The councilman added, “I think we’ll wait a little bit more for the time we need to redo or upgrade our master plan. We have six years to do that and we wanted to get a jump on everything and add some additional items to our
ordinances.” Councilman Fusaro said “the one thing we did have a lot of excellent help with was from our zoning officer who brought us a number of items to upgrade the ordinances and code book. We had at least a dozen or more good ideas that need to be completed. We can start looking at them and just start getting them to ordinances rather than wait for the completion of the master plan.” “These ideas are pretty much outside the master plan. They are items that aren’t articulated to what we are trying to say,” Fusaro added. He noted in recent discussions among the council regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and recom mendations for vaccination distribution hubs in various areas of the senior communities in the township that “I don’t know if all our residents know that anyone over 65 can now go into the registration period. I registered about 10 days ago and got an invite from the New Jersey website to get a date at various places.” Fusaro added, “the closest one was in Trenton but every day there are five or six different ones so if you haven’t registered already is covid19.nj,gov/pages/ vaccine. It is very easy and takes three to five minutes to fill out the registration. Council President Craig Wallis said “I agree Sam it is easy to register online. Finding a place to go is a different story. I registered with Community Medical Center who will contact you whenever they have appointments available so it will probably be six months before they get ahold of me. Getting the vaccine is one of the only ways that we are going to stop this.” He added that “it isn’t so much the vaccine; it is the people being vaccinated that will actually do it. You can have a vaccine but if people don’t get it, it is not doing any good.”

New $4M Federal Grant To Help Address Addictions From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith LAKEWOOD − Preferred Behavioral Health Group (PBHG) in Lakewood will receive a $4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to create a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic to serve Ocean and Monmouth county residents, said Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) a strong supporter of the legislation providing the federal funds. “Expanding mental health services and boosting funding programs to combat substance use disorder is especially timely and needed as people continue to struggle with the health and economic challenges of the coronavirus and inherent restrictions,” Smith said. “With this significant federal support, PBHG will provide additional services and
reach more people throughout our community. The two-year grant will be used to launch a much-needed Community Behavioral Health Clinic that is specifically designed to provide an all-inclusive range of substance use disorder and mental health services, especially for individuals who have complex needs. It will allow the team at PBHG to expand the quality mental and psychological support services they are already providing in Ocean and Monmouth counties.” PBHG’s chief executive officer, Mary Pat Angelini, welcomed the news and said they would put the grant to immediate good use. “Preferred Behavioral Health Group is thrilled to be selected to receive the federal funding needed to create a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC),” Angelini said. “Our CCBHC will provide a comprehensive range of mental health and substance use disorder services to vulnerable individuals living in Monmouth and Ocean counties. Among
our expansion of services, our professional staff will provide crisis mental health services; patient-centered treatment planning; outpatient mental health and substance use services; primary care screening and monitoring; targeted case management; peer support, counseling, family support services and services for veterans.” Since 1978, Preferred Behavioral Health Group of NJ has served those in need of guidance, counseling and assistance with difficult personal issues. Currently they have 15 locations in Monmouth and Ocean counties and serve over 30,000 individuals annually. PBHG’s mission is to deliver quality and compassionate behavioral health services around-the-clock to individuals and families. The new funding comes via a Mental Health & Substance Abuse Service Grant provided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), authorized in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260), which became law with Rep Smith’s support in December 2020. Dr. Nora Volkow, Director of NIH’s Na-
tional Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), said that an October 2020 study with which she collaborated showed that of 7.5 million patients sampled, those who had previously had a substance use disorder (SUD) were 1.5 times more likely to have a COVID-19 diagnosis. Those with an opioid use disorder (OUD) were 2.4 times more likely to have COVID-19, those with a cocaine use disorder 1.6 times more likely, and those with an alcohol use disorder 1.4 times more likely. Said Volkow about the study: “There is reason to be concerned that people with substance use disorders (SUDs) may be particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 and its most adverse health outcomes,” she said, adding, “Patients with lifetime SUD diagnoses also experienced more severe outcomes from COVID-19 than others, including hospitalization (41% versus 30%) and death (9.6% versus 6.6%). The disparity between African Americans and Caucasians was stark: 13 percent of African Americans in the sample with both lifetime SUD and COVID-19 died, versus 8.6 percent of Caucasians with both diagnoses.”
Federal Law Enforcement Failed To Screen For Domestic Abusers Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Gary Peters (D-Mich.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, led several of their colleagues in urging the Department of Homeland Security to establish a zero-tolerance stance for domestic violence and take immediate steps to enforce a federal law that keeps firearms out of the

hands of those convicted of domestic violence or subject to a restraining law - including those who carry a federal badge. The statute, known as the “Lautenberg Amendment” to the Gun Control Act of 1968, is named for the late New Jersey U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg and has resulted in a 17% drop in murders of intimate female partners, according to a 2017 Stanford University study. The amendment makes it a felony for anyone convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence to ship, transport, receive or possess fi rearms without exceptions for federal law enforcement officers.

“Regrettably, some of the nation’s law enforcement agencies charged with protecting the public have failed to comply with this important law,” the senators wrote in a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. “We request that DHS act swiftly to ensure that federal law enforcement meaningfully addresses
domestic violence within its ranks. In addition to mandating domestic violence training at all DHS law enforcement agencies, we request that you take action to ensure that all federal officers are appropriately screened for domestic violence convictions on an ongoing basis.” (Government - See Page 10)

The DHS Inspector General (IG) found last year that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) failed to screen their agents for domestic abusers through the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) databases. The IG investigation also revealed these agencies, along with
the Secret Service and Transportation Security Administration (TSA), failed to provide required domestic violence awareness training to law enforcement officers. The senators also requested DHS report back to Congress within six months on its progress implementing the Lautenberg Amendment to ensure full compliance. Joining Sens. Menendez and Peters

(DHS) establish a clear zero-tolerance stance for domestic violence and take immediate steps to enforce the current federal law known as the “Lautenberg Amendment.” It is imperative that DHS keep firearms out of the hands of those convicted of domestic violence or subject to a restraining order. “Nearly twenty-five years ago, Congress adopted an amendment by former Senator Frank Lautenberg to prevent domestic abusers from obtaining firearms. The Lautenberg Amendment to the Gun Control Act of 1968 makes it a felony for anyone convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence to ship, transport, receive or possess firearms. There are no exceptions for federal law enforcement officers. A 2017 Stanford study found that implementing this amendment resulted in a seventeen percent decrease in murders of intimate female partners. “Regrettably, some of the nation’s law enforcement agencies charged with protecting the public have failed to comply with this important law. Last year, the DHS Inspector General found that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) failed to check their agents through the FBI databases that would have f lagged domestic abusers. In addition, the Inspector General noted that CBP, ICE, Secret Service, and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) neglected to provide the required domestic violence awareness training to law enforcement officers. “We request that DHS act swiftly to ensure that federal law enforcement meaningfully addresses domestic violence within its ranks. In addition to mandating domestic violence training at all DHS law enforcement agencies, we request that you take action to ensure that all federal officers are appropriately screened for domestic violence convictions on an ongoing basis. Finally, we respectfully ask that you report back to Congress within six months of receipt of this letter on your progress to ensure that DHS is fully compliant with the Lautenberg Amendment. “Thank you for your attention to this serious issue. We look forward to working with you on this important issue.”

That year also marked the 90th birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Slater remarked during that celebration that “we need to bear witness to his dreams and his hopes for this country, because they seem to have gotten lost somewhere along the way.” Slater added, “we are a country divided and we must find a way to peace through the racial divide and terrorism that still plague our 21st century society.”

How Long Do Hearing Aids Last?
There are many confl icting articles focusing on the longevity of hearing aids. In my practice, the average life is between 4-6 years but there are many factors that will impact the lifespan of a hearing aid: How long you wear you’re hearing aids on a daily basis. For example, if you wear your hearing instruments 12 hrs./ day, that equates to 4400 hrs. per year or 20,000 hours over a 5-year period. Frequency of cleaning: We encourage all of our patients to use a soft dry toothbrush to clean the hearing aids on a daily basis. If you fail to do so, the hearing aids will break down frequently. Ask you hearing care professional for AUDIOWIPES as well. Where hearing aids are worn: In general, the ultra-small “custom” hearing aids
have poor reliability statistics and will be replaced 1-2 yrs. sooner than other styles. A person’s body physiology: Many patients create excessive cerumen buildup (wax) and profusely sweat. Sweat creates moisture which commonly invades the circuit and shuts down the hearing aid. An electronic dehumidifier is recommended to dry out the hearing instruments. Frequency of Maintenance: Just like a car needs periodic oil and filter changes, tire rotations, etc. you’re hearing aids should be checked by a hearing healthcare professional at least two times year. If that Practice does not schedule you for these visits in advance, I would go somewhere else. Dr. Izzy and his Staff are always here to answer your questions about hearing care issues.
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!

How BPC 157 Helps Tendons And Your Tummy
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I recently introduced you to BPC 157 which is made of amino acids that originate from a protective stomach protein. The final result is considered synthetic, even though it is derived from natural stomach compounds. BPC 157 has been around since the 1990’s but only now are we seeing more research on how it can help quickly support the body’s gastrointestinal, brain and musculoskeletal system. Most of the animal research was done on animals showing support for BPC 157’s ability to positively impact muscles, ligaments, tendons, teeth, bones and intestines. A rabbit study suggests this compound can even heal bones to some extent. Is it a drug, an herb or a vitamin? It’s none of those. BPC 175 is a peptide (like a tiny protein). It is not a drug, and it’s not an herb and yet it is sold as a dietary supplement (mainly online) in a growing category of supplements called “peptides.” The peptide supplements are gaining popularity quickly, especially those that can be given orally. Most peptides require a tiny needle to be self-injected via the SQ route. While we are learning more and more about BPC 157, it’s a good idea to check with your primary care physician or pharmacist to see if this or any supplement you take, can interact with any prescription you take, or adversely affect your medical conditions. It is a growth factor, and as such, it increases angiogenesis which can be problematic for some people especially those with cancer. The positive scientific data for BPC 157 abounds. Some say it can offset fatigue from intensive exercise, even though its main claim
to fame is for reversing GI damage inflicted by drinking alcohol, having Celiac, or “leaky gut” syndrome, or from taking NSAID medications. You know the NSAIDs as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, ketoprofen, oxaprozin and indomethacin and these drugs sometimes cause ulcers in the elderly. Most physician’s treating NSAID-induced ulceration don’t know about this peptide yet, in fact, because they almost always use conventional drugs such as misoprostol or acid-reducing medications. The trials suggest that BPC 157 can help to repair the lining of the GI tract. No surprise there since it is derived form a protective protein naturally found in our gastric juice! The following claims have been validated by animal studies include: • Support healing of soft tissue • Support a healthier allergic response to natural triggers • Improve intestinal and bowel problems • Repair and protect the liver, gut and pancreas • Support healthy blood pressure numbers • Improve serotonin transport which impacts mood If you are interested in learning more about BPC 157 and its other uses, I wrote a longer version of this article that includes some research links, and I can email you that. Just sign up my free newsletter at suzycohen. com. To purchase BPC 157 oral supplements, check online right now, as it is not widely available at the health food stores yet and remember to ask your practitioner(s) if it’s right for you.

significant challenges for the ability of the Community Chorus to perform which are difficult to overcome at this time. Under the stellar leadership of Steven Russell, GSP Chorus Director, the chorus has grown its membership, repertoire, and the excellence of its performance, positioning it well for a strong return when it is safe to do so.” Dr. Mezey believes that the Garden State Philharmonic’s future is bright and is thrilled to be working with a team that

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE OCC Receives Grant For Veteran Services
By Alyssa Riccardi TOMS RIVER – The U.S. Department of Education has given Ocean County College a $444,130 three-year grant to establish a Center of Excellence for Veteran Student Success on its campus. Out of hundreds of colleges and universities that applied, only 12 colleges received the grant with OCC being one of them. The Center will be directed by Ryan Luurtsema, assistant director of Veteran and Military Services at the College. “At Ocean County College, we have an established Veteran and Military Resource Center and are proud to have earned the designation Military Friendly from Military Times magazine, meaning we provide the best education possible for veterans and their families,” says
Luurtsema. “We are a premier location for all military and veteran resources and educational aspirations. This grant will up the ante considerably and allow us to provide even more services and opportunities for these students.” The goal of the new Ocean County Center of Excellence for Veterans Services (OCCEVS) is to provide veteran students with single point of contact to coordinate comprehensive support services. The Center will also support veterans in various areas across campus, including admissions, registration, financial aid, academic and career advising, counseling, disability services and veterans’ benefits. “We also will provide outreach and recruitment, financial aid, supportive instructional services such as tutoring, admissions/transfer help, personal, academic and career counseling,” says Luurtsema. “Events to ease the transition to campus life, support for veteran student support groups and organizations, coordination of academic advising and admissions counseling with military bases and national guard units will also be part of the mix.” “This grant is a testament to the commitment of college leadership in prioritizing service to those who served us,” says A.J. Trump, Ed.D., executive director of Student Services. “We will be able to take OCC veteran support and services to a new level, becoming the premier institution in the nation for veteran student support.” “The objectives of the grant are ambitious, but with the support provided by the grant under the leadership of Mr. Luurtsema, I have confidence that they will be achieved,” says Gerald Racioppi, Ed.D., vice president of Student Affairs. OCC confirmed that veteran students will be supported while they attend and after graduation as alumni. “Making the transition out of military life is not always easy, and support in all areas is important,” says Luurtsema, who speaks from his experience as an Army veteran. “The Center will offer meaningful workshops related to career and skills development, finances, transition to civilian life and more.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates Offers Free Screenings This Month
OCEAN COUNTY − All throughout the month of February, Dr. Elisa Velazquez and Dr. Matthew Sones of Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates (OPDA) are going above and beyond to raise awareness of the importance of optimal oral health for the children in our communities as part of Children’s Dental Health Month. OPDA will be participating in Give Kids a Smile for the sixteenth year, to provide free oral health education, screenings, preventive, and restorative treatment for children in need. Just as pediatricians are the physicians that provide medical care for children, the pediatric dentists at Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates are all board-certified and specialized in providing dental services for children. All of the pediatric dentists at OPDA believe that it is a privilege to treat children, and that they have a unique opportunity to make a difference and encourage each child to have a lifetime of optimal oral health. Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates is dedicated to providing education and dental care for all children while creating beautiful smiles. One of the main goals of a pediatric dentist is to properly educate parents and patients on the importance of proper home care routines in order to avoid cavities. Certain bacteria live in our mouths. When these bacteria come into contact with sugary foods left behind on our teeth after eating, acids are produced. These acids attack the enamel on the exterior of the teeth, eventually eating through the enamel and creating holes in the teeth, which we call cavities.
To reduce our risk of cavities, we must brush two times a day for two minutes each time, using fluoride toothpaste. It is also very importance to floss one time a day. Flossing can reach spots in between the teeth that the bristles of a toothbrush cannot. Children often require assistance while brushing and flossing due to limited dexterity skills, so it becomes extremely important for parents to help their youngsters with their brushing and flossing. In addition to home care routines, our diets play a direct role in our risk for cavities. The key factor is frequency of exposure to foods or beverages that are high in carbohydrates, which are just complex sugars. We all know that children are known for having the proverbial “sweet tooth”. When it comes to candy, remember what Dr. Matt and Dr. Elisa always tell the kids, “if it’s sticky, it’s icky!” It is critical to avoid sugary foods and drinks, limit snacking with high carbohydrate items, and to maintain a healthy, well-balanced diet. Finally, make regular appointments so the doctors at Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates can check the health of your child’s teeth and provide professional cleanings along with guidance on proper home care, diet, the use of fluoride, and growth and development. For over ten years, the doctors of Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates have been consistently VOTED TOP DENTISTS by their peers and by their patients in the state of New Jersey. We are proud and honored of this accomplishment!

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE County: Residents Are Trying To Recycle Dangerous Materials
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – County officials are reminding residents to be mindful with their recycling and to make sure there are no items that pose a danger. Ocean County Board of Commissioners Director Gary Quinn, said “while recycling is important because it helps protect the environment and saves money for our towns by not having to dispose solid waste at the landfill, understanding proper recycling habits is a key component in making sure the recycling process goes smoothly.,” Quinn, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County recycling program added, “we want to make our residents aware that there are many options for proper disposal of items that could pose dangers and that do not belong in curbside recycling containers.” Fires have become more common in recent years at recycling centers, with many being caused by improper recycling. One recent example was at Atlantic Coast Fibers, operator for Ocean County’s Northern Recycling Center in Lakewood, who recently lost their recycling center in North Jersey to an 11-alarm fire on January 30. The exact cause of that fire is under investigation. “Sometimes, in an effort to recycle as much as possible, residents inadvertently place dangerous items into their curbside recycling containers thinking that they are properly disposing of the items, when actually these items can lead to fires inside collection trucks and recycling centers,” Quinn added. “These types of fires can be prevented by residents understanding how to properly dispose of items such as lithium-ion batteries, aerosol
cans, combustible/flammable liquids, household chemicals, and propane tanks,” the Commission Director added. Lithium-ion batteries, for instance, that are found in cell phones, “vape” pens and musical greeting cards, as well as rechargeable batteries and button batteries, should never be placed in curbside recycling containers. In Ocean County, the batteries should be taken to the Special Waste Drop-off facilities at Ocean County’s Northern Recycling Center in Lakewood or the Southern Recycling Center in Manahawkin (open Monday-Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.). Residents can also check with their municipality’s public works department to find other drop-off locations. There are other ignitable items including aerosol cans, combustible/flammable liquids like gasoline and kerosene, propane tanks, and household chemicals like bleach, ammonia or pool chemicals can be disposed of during Household Hazardous Waste events that are hosted throughout the year by the Ocean County Board of Commissioners and its Department of Solid Waste Management. Quinn added that many county facilities and programs such as the Household Hazardous Waste program are free to Ocean County residents. “We encourage our residents to use the resources that are available to help make sure they are recycling right,” he said. For additional information on available programs and what can be recycled, visit the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management’s website co.ocean.nj.us/OC/SolidWaste/ frmHomeSW.aspx or call 732-506-5047.

Physical Therapy for the Pediatric Population By: Erin Sullivan, DPT, Manchester Facility Manager
Physical Therapy is not just for adults, children can also benefit from treatment. HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP MY CHILD? • Orthopedics Range of motion and flexibility differ from that of an adult so special considerations should be kept in mind when treating the pediatric population. When a child experiences an injury, treatment may vary considerably versus an adult, particularly in the event of growth plate involvement. These Injuries, and the natural growth and development of a child can significantly impact their ability to reach motor milestones. Growth spurts may also impact how and/or when they evolve their gross motor skills. • Meeting Motor Milestones Children may have difficulty reaching their motor mile stones for a number of reasons. These milestones act as stepping stones for a child to progress towards more complex, functional activities. If children are delayed in reaching these milestones, they may also have difficulty participating in school-based, recreational, or age specific activities. • Sensory Processing Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, or other conditions which impact sensory processing, can also benefit from skilled physical therapy services. A child’s perception of sensory input may impact their functional and gross motor ability as well as their behavior. These senses include sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, vestibular (balance), and what is known as proprioceptive or the perception of one’s own body, detected by the nervous system. It is possible that children may be over sensitive or under sensitive to sensory input, and it is important that their treatment be focused regarding their specific needs.
WHAT TO EXPECT A licensed physical therapist will take a detailed history from you and your child regarding current or ongoing complaints. Your therapist will then complete a thorough evaluation, often through observation as well as objective measurements to determine whether your child is performing at an age appropriate level. Measures of joint range of motion, flexibility, and strength will also be assessed as part of the evaluation. The therapist will then discuss their findings with you and make recommendations regarding their plan of care. Your child may attend therapy sessions anywhere from once a week to three times per week depending on the outcome of your child’s evaluation. Treatment will be specific for each individual child and will be focused on age-appropriate, childdriven activities with integrated therapeutic play to address the child’s goals. WHERE CAN I FIND PEDIATRIC PHYSICAL THERAPY? Pediatric physical therapy is available in a number of different settings. Children with developmental delays from infancy up to three years of age, in New Jersey, may be eligible for a federally funded program called Early Intervention. School-based physical therapy is also available in some cases and focuses on the child’s ability to access and participate in the school setting. Medical-model physical therapy is available in the hospital-based, home-based or outpatient setting, like All Care Physical Therapy Center. Medical-model physical therapy will address a child’s global needs including the ability to participate in the home or community (due to injury or gross motor delays). Many children may
benefit from physical therapy on an outpatient basis, in addition to receiving school based therapy services. Parents are encouraged to discuss any concerns and treatment options with your child’s pediatrician or physician.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of FEB 13 - feb 19 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): People may value you for what you do, but they may remember you for your loyalty and leadership. You are not only important and highly regarded, but you could also be directing projects in the week ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be your own best friend in the week to come. Pursue your hobbies and passions by setting aside some time to spend doing what you like to do. You might even find other people who share your interests. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some of your fantasies may lead you to think outside the box. Your imaginative ideas might come in handy as the week unfolds. Never discount the power of positive thinking to propel you forward. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You could be torn two ways when you consider purchases. You may yearn for something that lives up to your ideals, but this week, logic dictates that anything that meets your immediate needs might be sufficient. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): When you are in formal settings, you can play the part of the skilled professional and have an open-door policy to welcome new ideas. In the upcoming week, you can offer sympathy and empathy when needed. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When your confidence is high, you can put your faith in reliable business practices. When your confidence is low, you can put your trust in triedand-true friends. In the week ahead, maintain high standards.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the coming week, you may be able to spend more time enjoying hobbies or engaging in social interactions that lighten your heart but don’t necessarily bring you recognition or monetary rewards. Accept life as it is and be happy. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Even a prize-winning pinball wizard may struggle to win when matched against someone who tilts the table. You may be surprised when it becomes obvious that someone is playing by different rules in the week ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Map out ways to make your money multiply. You can use sound theories as the week passes by to position your business in the black or keep your budget balanced. Focus on your future prospects. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Managing your time wisely could leave you with plenty of time for both work and play in the upcoming week. Lists and a logical sequence of steps are in order no matter what job or activity must be planned. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might prefer to plan ahead as the week begins. Anything that saves time or improves overall efficiency could appeal to you. As the week unrolls, you may become more aware of lasting values. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may be proud of an inclination to pursue peace at any price. You might be more romantic than usual in the upcoming week, but to get attention someone might play on your sympathies rather than your affections.
