Manchester’s Hidden History Might Get Cleaned Up
Police: New Law Prevents Investigating Child Marijuana Use
By Bob Vosseller POINT PLEASANT BEACH – Even before the passage of November ballot question regarding legalization of marijuana, residents, municipal leaders and law enforcement agencies pondered how it would be administrated. When new state laws were an nou nced in Trenton, it didn’t take long for them to receive criticism by many Ocean County municipal leaders. Police said the new laws were “handcuff ing” their ability to do their jobs. Point Pleasant Beach Police Chief Joseph A. Michigan, who serves as president of the Ocean County Chiefs of Police Association, joined 30th District Sen. Robert W. Singer, 10th District Assemblyman John Catalano, Director of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners Gary Quinn, Ocean County Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy, local elected officials and police chiefs to discuss their

( R ight) “Don’t let Trenton handcuff your police” is the message this vehicle of the Ocean County Chiefs of Police Association was promoting during the rally. concerns over the new state marijuana laws. During the recent press conference held at a police substation on the borough’s boardwalk,
those assembled spoke about why the new laws were detrimental and would severely impact shore communities and families.
Police: Forest Fire Intentionally Set
By Chris Lundy LAKEWOOD – The forest fire that destroyed 167 acres, evacuated residents, and hospitalized a firefighter was intentionally set, investigators said. Early in the investigation, fire personnel had determined where the fire started but did not say how it was started. Now, the investigation has determined the worst case scenario. “We have located the origin of the fire and have concluded that the fire was intentionally set,” Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said. The blaze started out as a brush fire at 5 Airport
Road in Lakewood on the afternoon of March 14. It was first spotted by a New Jersey Forest Fire Service Observation Tower in Lakewood. It quickly spread to buildings and multiple units responded. Ultimately, two commercial buildings were destroyed. There were 29 homes with damage to siding, sheds, and other such accessory structures. It leaped across the Garden State Parkway, closing that road and several others. The New Jersey Forest Fire Service reported that it claimed 167 acres. Firefighters battled it overnight. The fire spread (Fire - See Page 10)

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Members of the Manchester Environmental Commission have made it one of their goals to help clean up the township, and are considering two local areas that are part of history but hidden from view. Commission member Gabrielle Fox made a presentation to the Commission about potential clean-up sites during a recent virtual meeting. “I reached out to the Pinelands Preservation Alliance and the Barnegat Bay Partnership. The Pinelands Preservation Alliance has given me a couple of options to work with them. The Barnegat Bay Partnership suggested I reach out to the Watershed Ambassador (Emily McGuckin). She is obviously a really good resource for Ocean County.” “Either of those work. They gave us two sites for potential locations in Manchester. One is the Brooks Brey Brick Factory and the other one is the Crossley Preserve. I have been to the brick factory and I know it is a bit of a disaster. Both of those would be really good potential cleanup sites,” Fox added. A section of the township that Fox said was frequented by people on ATVs owned by Heritage Minerals was privately owned and would not be suitable. Fox presented a six slide PowerPoint presentation during the meeting. The brick factory is within the Brenden Byrne State Forest which has an entrance off Route 70 heading west.

Manchester Plans Energy Future
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – For months now Councilman James Vaccaro has called for the development of an energy master plan which would involve alternate forms of energy including wind, solar and electric
car charging stations. That subject came up again during a recent Manchester Council meeting where Vaccaro repeated the need for such a plan and where Environmental Commission Chairman Rory Wells announced a pro-
posal that is in line with the councilman’s ideas. Councilman Vaccaro spoke about the need to establish a 10-year energy master plan applicable to the township that encompasses the use of “alternative (Energy - See Page 7)

Commissioner Peggy Middaugh said the Crossley site was a good choice. “We all drive by it all the time, I’m sure, but I have never figured out how to get in there. You go past all the retirement communities as you go towards Dover Road. It is this giant space.” Fox researched partnerships with the Commission which could also involve volunteers from the community willing to help with the cleanup projects. Fox said the brick factory was in the Whiting section of Manchester. “It definitely attracts a respectable crowd of people and it has a lot of graffiti and is very dilapidated. It is definitely an area of the Pinelands in need of a cleanup.” “There is a lot of trash and spray paint cans. I don’t know how deep in the woods the trash

She spoke about the Crossley Preserve “which is an already preserved piece of Pineland. It was an old factory and it definitely has signage. I have never been there. I didn’t even know it existed. I looked at the old trails ratings and some of the people said the trails were flooded and overgrown.” Fox said there looked to be a potential to restore some of the hiking trails. “There are people who are in charge of the preserve so maybe they can give us a little but more insight as to what needs to be done with help from other people. Some of the cons is that it is potentially flooded and I don’t know how limited the access is.” “Is there a reason why there is so much flooding? Is there beavers there? Is it just a naturally flooded area and it does share jurisdiction with Berkeley Township so I don’t know if they would be interested in getting involved,” asked Fox. Commission Chair Rory Wells recommended site visits by Commission members to both locations. Middaugh said the Crossley site is probably a couple thousand acres. “It is huge. There are definitely roads going into it. I don’t know of any formal trails. It is used a lot by hunters. I think there is multiple trails.” Wells noted that the township police department has a drone. “We can try and get into the areas we think need more attention. It may be a year long process. We may have six or seven dates throughout the year. If we have people willing to help us I think that’s great.” Commission Vice Chair Bill Cook said he felt the Crossley Preserve was a bit overwhelming and favored the first location which he said “is at least more contained.” “Five or six people isn’t going to do it right but if

we have two organizations, if we can get volunteers, scouts, maybe the environmental club from town. If we had 60 people that is a different story for a weekend or two or three days,” Wells added. The first site would require interaction and permission with the state, Wells said, due to it being in a state forest. “We would have to work with them which I’m sure they would be happy to work with us but we wouldn’t be able to go in without letting them know what we wanted to do first.” Resident Mary Demarest said she had been to the Brooks Brey site on Pasadena Road many times. “You are not allowed to bring a vehicle back there. The roads are closed because of flooding and they will probably be closed through the summer because we’ve had an extraordinary amount of rain.” Demarest offered her husband’s trailer for the clean-up effort. “It is a cult location. People come from all over the east coast to go to this thing and they hang out for hours at a time there. When you go back there in the woods you think you are the only one and when you get there, there is about 50 people at the site. It is quite busy back there.” She acknowledged how large the second site was and recommended that focus be given to where the trails are located and to work on it one section at a time. Wells said that the Commission would arrange for site visit date and that he would reach out to Manchester Township High School Environmental Club and Ocean County College “to let them we are going to be doing clean ups and we are looking for volunteers.” Fox said she would reach out to the high school she works at to see if National Honor Society members would be interested in the effort.

extends. We may need four-wheel drives to access some of the area and I was thinking of consideration of the Whiting Dump. I don’t know what would need to be done. I don’t know if they would allow those without a sticker to come in and drop off the trash that we collect,” Fox added. Fox said she felt there were opportunities for expansion if a Boy or Girl Scouts group wanted to put up some historical signs though it could also be another surface for spray painting “so I’m not sure if that idea would be positive or negative. It is a disrespected area but we could turn it into an informative piece of Pinelands history.” She also noted a few negatives in areas of it that she said was crumbling and had some inappropriate graffiti. “I used to go out there as a kid and check it out and was excited about finding something old and falling apart but now it is (falling apart more) than it was in the past.”

Continued From Page 1 resources of renewable energy. Wind, geothermal and more extensive use of solar energy applications.” “General Motors and other automotive companies stated that in 2035 at the latest, but that in 2025 they will convert most of their automotive fleet to electric. Thus, we must to begin to plan now for installation of high-speed electrical battery charge stations within Manchester Township,” he said. Vaccaro said this would also provide the township with an additional revenue source “that could be generated from the charging stations. We need to plan now with these sites that will surely be needed in the future.” “The governor has also dedicated $10 million from two funds for electrified medium and heavy-duty vehicles. In 2025 to 2035 electric trucks will be the next electrified vehicles on New Jersey roads. It is a real situation I think we should address now,” Vaccaro said. “To Councilman Vaccaro’s point about electric battery charging stations and the 10-year master plan, we have invested a significant amount of time figuring out where in the township we can do solar. Donna (Markulic, the Township Business Administrator) has spent many hours figuring this out and unfortunately most of our structures are not conducive to having solar and it is not profitable for us or the solar provider,” Mayor Kenneth Palmer said. Palmer added, “for our basic infrastructure there is not a whole lot of places that we
The Manchester Times, March 27, 2021, Page 7 can do that. As to the electric car charging stations, it is my understanding that the Environmental Commission is going to take that task on to figure out what it would take, the benefits of it.” Wells said during the meeting, “the Environmental Commission has set a goal to study the electrical vehicles and potentially propose a pilot proposal to the council and the mayor for next year’s budget 2022.” “We will be evaluating the goal of two vehicles and two to four charging stations. I’ve done some initial ground work and talked to the (police) chief and to public works to determine which two vehicles, if we can get two. It is money dependent, and obviously if there was more grant money available to us for police vehicles as opposed to regular vehicles that would be the direction we would go,” Wells added. Wells said there were a couple different pickup trucks that are coming on line. “We are looking for what would be the best ways to propose these vehicles and the charging stations. We are going to do a review and do a report and submit it to the council for your review. We are looking for grant money for the whole package. We just started the process.” “The goal is to do something solid in the next fiscal year and hopefully with the charging stations we don’t have a big tourism draw but a lot of people do drive through our town from Pennsylvania and the charging station may get people to stop. Either way it is the future and we can be on the front end of this or the back end but eventually the fleets will go to electric and that will be the majority of vehicles on the road,” Wells said.
He added that the Environmental Commission would be making recommendations to the council in the future. “Councilman Vaccaro I will be in touch with you on what we are doing. Hopefully we can find money. I was given the contact of who I should talk to in the state about grant money and we will look for that obviously.” Wells also said that the Commission would look for grant funding from the federal government as well. “There are regular cars, there are pickup trucks which could be used in a number of different venues and then there is electric school buses which seems to be picking up popularity lately so we will evaluate all of those and then we can hopefully contribute in a big way to put Manchester on the map moving forward.” Council President Craig Wallis brought up

a related topic concerning current energy costs. “I went to fill up my car the other day and it cost me an extra $20. People need to start paying attention and start to put some pressure on someone somewhere. It affects us and our county budget.” “If we are paying that much more for gas and all the vehicles that we drive it means that much more money. The way our gas tax is set up in New Jersey is designed to raise so much money. If the gas price goes up people will drive less, they sell less gallons and they don’t pull in as much money they may start raising the gas tax more,” Wallis said. Wallis added that “it is a cycle they are going into that could really bite us later on when you are trying to ship goods around.” He urged the press and the public “to pay attention to that little fact.”

$28.6B Restaurant Revitalization Fund Part Of American Rescue Plan Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
HOBOKEN – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez joined Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla to highlight a new $28.6 billion Restaurant Revitalization Fund that was included in the American Rescue Plan (ARP), signed into law, to help struggling restaurants and bars that have been economically impacted by the pandemic. These establishments can use the funding to keep their doors open, cover COVID-related expenses, and pay their employees, rent and utilities. Hoboken was the first city in the entire nation to close bars and restaurants last year, affecting many of the city’s mom and pop establishments. “It’s been a difficult year for mom and pop restaurant and bar owners in Hoboken and across New Jersey. This grant program is a much-needed lifeline for so many struggling restaurants and can mean the difference between an ‘Open’ or ‘Closed’ sign on their front door. I fought hard for this funding and I’m proud to say ‘help is on the way’,” said Sen. Menendez. “Early on in the pandemic Mayor Bhalla made tough but necessary choices in order to protect the health and safety of his community. He has been one of the strongest advocates for robust, targeted funding for the restaurant industry and I
appreciate his leadership in our state.” “Brighter days are ahead for Hoboken and our hospitality industry, in large part thanks to the historic American Rescue Plan championed by Senator Menendez and our New Jersey federal elected officials. This new critical and targeted funding source from the economic relief bill will make a difference for our struggling restaurant and bar owners as they recover from the substantial financial impact caused by the pandemic,” said Mayor Bhalla. Because of the necessary lockdowns and restaurant capacity limits that were imposed to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, the food service industry has been one of the hardest-hit sectors. According to a study by the National Restaurant Association, 110,000 restaurants and bars have been closed temporarily or for good, as of December. The study also found that up to eight million restaurant employees were laid off or furloughed during the height of the lockdowns last year. In New Jersey alone, 30% of restaurants have been closed permanently or temporarily, impacting over 350,000 jobs. “We stand here today, a year after we were forced to close due to the effects of a virus that crippled our state and our nation. The impact that COVID-19 had on the hospitality industry was devastating and life changing. There was nothing that prepared us for the challenges that needed to be faced,” said Jeanne Cretella, a member of the New Jer-
sey Restaurant & Hospitality Association. “If you’re a suffering restaurant, and after 12 months most of us are, we now have the ability to plan ahead, rebuild our teams and strengthen our communities.” The ARP established a $28.6 billion Restaurant Revitalization Fund, which is based on the RESTAURANTS Act that Senator Menendez cosponsored. The program will provide up to $10 million in grants to eligible restaurants, bars and eateries. The funds can be used to cover the purchase of personal protective equipment (PPE) and other upgrades to protect customers and staff from COVID, in addition to payroll, mortgage or rent, supplies, utilities, paid sick leave and other operational expenses. In general, restaurants will receive grants that equal the difference between their 2019 and 2020 gross receipts. In an effort to target funding to the smallest small businesses and minority-owned businesses, $5 billion is set aside for restaurants with 2019 gross receipts of $500,000 or less. Also, for the first 21 days that the program is open, the Small Business Administration (SBA) is required to prioritize applications from businesses owned by women, veterans and those in disadvantaged communities. The ARP also expanded the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) by providing an additional $7.25 billion in funding for PPP loans. The plan also provides $15 billion for new targeted Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) grants; $10 billion will provide full $10,000 grants to any prior EIDL applicant located in a low-income community and
with losses of at least 30 percent, the other $5 billion will go towards providing supplemental grants of $5,000 to severely impacted businesses with ten employees or less and losses of at least 50 percent. Last week, Sen. Menendez outlined the $10.2 billion in direct, flexible assistance to every state, county and municipality he secured in the ARP. Hudson County will receive a combined $424.6 million in state and local relief, including $130.4 million to the country government and $294.2 million split among its 12 municipalities. Hoboken will be allocated $27.2 million. The flexible funding can used to pay COVID-related expenses, cover lost revenues, avoid layoffs of essential workers, and provide additional assistance to residents and small businesses. Sen. Menendez and Mayor Bhalla held a press conference outside the Madison Bar & Grill in a heated, outdoor eating space which owner Dave Carney spent thousands to construct on Washington Street to help offset indoor dining restrictions. “Like many other restaurants in Hoboken and New Jersey, we’ve been hit hard by the pandemic. This funding could not come at a better time, and will help us as we survive until we get back to full capacity,” said Dave Carney. “We’ll utilize this grant funding to pay rent, staff, and help make up for lost revenue as we overcome the pandemic for good. Thank you to Senator Menendez for championing this funding in the Senate, and to Mayor Bhalla for advocating for our restaurants and helping keep our community safe.”

Law:
Continued From Page 1 are found to be using or in possession of marijuana or alcohol. Overreaching even further, the law criminalizes the good-faith actions of police officers who, smelling marijuana, try to investigate the underage use or possession by a child. “While those in New Jersey voted to legalize cannabis for adults, Trenton has taken the extraordinary leap to pass a law that goes far beyond the voter mandate to include de-facto legalization of marijuana and alcohol for children,” he said. Chief Michigan noted that as “public backlash against this unprecedented legislative threat to children grows, Trenton now is signaling that there will be a ‘clean-up’ bill that will allow officers to provide notification to parents when their children are caught using or possessing marijuana or alcohol. This clean-up language as proposed does nothing to correct this fatally flawed legislation. Officers would continue to face potential for serious criminal deprivation of civil rights charges for the common-sense act of simply investigating underage use or possession of alcohol or marijuana by minors.” Sen. Singer said, “let no one tell you from the senate or the assembly or the governor that they didn’t understand what was in this bill. They were all briefed on it. This is a disgusting piece of legislation. The voters did not vote that we should have 12-yearolds drinking beer, smoking marijuana and nothing can be done about it. In this piece of legislation anyone under 21 is considered a minor. That means college students, people who are 18, 19 and 20 years old are considered a minor and you cannot search them.” “Think about that - they hide a case a beer in a cooler and you can’t search them and they can’t even give you permission to search it. If the police do anything, they can be charged with a third-degree crime. That can mean jail or a major fi ne,” the
The Manchester Times, March 27, 2021, Page 9 senator added. Commissioner Quinn pledged the county’s support in efforts opposing what has been approved by Trenton. “This is something that caught us off guard when we saw the bill had passed. We were absolutely astonished on the county level to see that something of this magnitude had gone through Trenton and to receive the support it received.” “It not only ties the hands of our police officers. It also pulls the rights of every mother and father away from them for children under the age of 21. This is just opening up the door for the opportunity for these kids to go down a path that we don’t as parents - want to see happen. The Board of Commissioners is 100% opposed to this bill,” Quinn added. Point Pleasant Beach Mayor Paul Kanitra had some strong words about “this ill-conceived piece of legislation.” He said his police department’s job has gotten more difficult in recent years. “Trenton has increasingly made it that only the most bad actors have any repercussion for their criminal activity. Just the other day someone was arrested for breaking into homes here in Point Pleasant Beach, was fought off by a nanny and still had to be released onto the streets that night. This is insanity.” Among the police chiefs present were those from Lacey, Toms River, Little Egg Harbor, Brick and Jackson townships. Jackson Police Chief Matthew Kunz told Jersey Shore Online.com that he presented a sample resolution to the Jackson Council opposing the bill. “It metaphorically handcuffs us from doing our job and it prevents parents from knowing what their children are doing. Beyond that the removal of qualified immunity in law enforcement. If you are acting in good faith, you think some kids are up to no good, drinking and smoking pot, and you want to investigate, they also want to remove your legal protection in a good faith investigation
and allows you to be sued for just approaching them to investigate,” Chief Kunz said. Qualified immunity is a protection that judges and legislators have to protect from litigation. “Should you be sued now for taking a reasonable measure to do an investigation? They want to take away qualified immunity which is a reasonable protection that exists for judges and legislators and there is no reason it shouldn’t continue for law enforcement. Law enforcement officers will still be accountable. There is no reason to remove this other protection from them,” Kunz added. Chief DiBella said Lacey was strongly opposed to the legislation. He told Jersey Shore Online.com that removing the ability to inform parents about their children’s use of alcohol or marijuana “goes against everything that we believe in. As a chief of police, I was against the legalized use of recreational marijuana but the voters voted for it and here we are. As you can
see certain things come with that.” “Removing qualified immunity and making a police investigation a third-degree charge is not what voters voted for. These are things that need to be corrected,” Chief DiBella said. Lacey Mayor Peter Curatolo and Seaside Park Mayor John Peterson were among the municipal leaders present during the day supporting opposition to the legislation. Curatolo told Jersey Shore Online.com after the rally that the legislation “hamstrings the police and essentially makes them become powerless on this issue and not let them have an enforcement arm.” He added that it prevents police from intervening “in a young person’s life in a positive fi rst interaction. You are taking away an opportunity to make a positive effect on society. If you want gangs vote yes to legalized marijuana. We’ve seen it in California and Colorado.”

Fire:
Continued From Page 1 through dry conditions and high winds. A firefighter from the New Jersey Forest Fire Service suffered cardiac arrest during these efforts. He was transported to Hackensack Meridian Ocean Medical Center in Brick Township where he is reported to be in stable condition. “The significance of this wildland fi re
cannot be overstated. We have a firefighter that suffered cardiac arrest while battling this fire. Three homeless people living in the woods were saved from the advancing fire. Numerous residences and commercial properties were damaged and hundreds of people were evacuated. It is only by the grace of God that no one was killed,” Prosecutor Billhimer said. Anyone with information concerning this fire is urged to contact Sgt. Thomas Haskell
of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027, ext. 3953.” The fire was investigated by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Squad-Arson Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Unit, Ocean County Fire Marshal’s Office, Lakewood Township Police Department Detective Bureau, and Ocean County Sheriff ’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Two Charged With Shoplifting After Stealing From Local Lowe’s

How This Highly Precise Procedure is Making Knee Pain a Thing of the Past... TREATMENT COVERED BY MOST MAJOR HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS, INCLUDING MEDICARE People who suffer from knee pain typically try supplements or pain medication before seeking help from a doctor. Physical Therapy sometimes helps, sometimes not. When all else fails and the pain is too much, some feel that surgery is the only option. Before you put yourself through months of immobility, potentially more pain, and hefty medical bills, consider something else. The Proper Treatment Begins with Advanced Imaging for Precise Diagnosis They key to effectively fixing a knee pain problem is start with an accurate diagnosis. That’s why we’ve invested in Advanced Imaging Technology called Video Fluoroscopy (VF). This technology is a video X-ray in real time! Together with your doctor, you will view a live image of the inside of the knee. Your doctor will clearly explain exactly what is causing your pain, and the precise treatment approach to fix it. Jersey Shore’s Top Notch Knee Treatment Facility with 5 Convenient, Five Star Locations At Monmouth Pain, offering knee pain relief is a daily event. Knee pain accounts for greater than a quarter of our patient care every day. Do you struggle walking? Is going up and down stairs a struggle? Continue reading if you would like help… Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain? Where would you go, what would you do? What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain free mobility? We are pleased to announce… you don’t need to wait any longer to get the most precise procedure to sweep knee pain under the rug.
An All-Natural Lubricant Again, using Advanced Imaging Technology our medical team will administer the all- natural lubricant – referred to as Viscosupplementation – with pinpoint precision. The Viscosupplementation provides lubrication and tempers the friction within the joint to reduce the bone-on-bone sensation, reduce pain, and increase mobility. The precision and accuracy of the image-guided injection ensures that the gel like fluid is injected directly into the joint capsule for optimal results. Unlike steroid injections that can cause irreversible damage to the joint ligaments and tissues, this is an all-natural injection proven to enhance all-natural healing.
If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, regain control of your life by visiting Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation, a stateof-the art medical facility. Cause of Knee Pain… How does knee pain occur? Factors that might cause it include the following: • Being overweight • Getting older…normal wear and tear • Joint injury • Knee imbalances • A genetic defect in the joint cartilage • Stresses on the joints from certain activities including sports, work, and leisure activities. Over time, all of the above can eat away at the cartilage in your knee leading to damage called Osteoarthritis! What is Osteoarthritis? (OA) Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. In Osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows the bones under the cartilage to rub together resulting in pain, swelling, and loss of motion of the joint. Although in some people it progresses quickly, in most individuals joint damage develops gradually over years. Don’t Just Mask the Pain! Say Goodbye to Knee Pain... the Non-Surgical Way! Now is the time to take control of your life and say goodbye to knee pain the non-surgical way! Most people feel better in a matter of weeks and can begin enjoying everyday activities pain-free again. Consider These Facts Before Surgery
Under the guidance of Video Fluoroscopy (VF), Dr. Ben Meir precisely delivers the correct amount of lubricant into the exact area of knee damage.
Ron Ben-Meir, DO. Board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation, fellowship trained in Interventional Spine & Sports Medicine.
Meet the Doctor Ron Ben-Meir, DO, is board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and fellowshiptrained in Interventional Spine and Sports Medicine at The Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

An expert in current non-surgical interventional procedures to treat joint pain, he also performs diagnostic procedures such as musculoskeletal ultrasound and electromyography to help diagnose the sources of the muscle and nerve-related pain. Dr. BenMeir’s focus is on treating patients with acute or chronic pain. All patients receive individualized treatment plans that may include physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and ultrasound or fluoroscopy-guided injections.
WHAT ARE PATIENTS SAYING? “I had reached a point that I could no longer work out in the yard for more than 15 minutes. I couldn’t lift anything heavy and some days I would use a cane because my knee hurt so much. I no longer need to do that. It is progressively getting better each week.

PATIENTS FIND RELIEF...
“When I heard about this place I immediately came in for a consultation and decided to start this treatment for my knees. I really did not think it was going to work but I had to try something after living in chronic pain. I could not walk up the stairs or walk on my feet without crying in pain. Even going to sleep was a struggle and I really thought my life as I knew it was going to be over. I truly feared becoming wheelchair bound. After 4 weeks, I feel so much better! I feel such happiness being able to walk and go up and down stairs without that chronic pain! This is a start of a new beginning for me. I am so happy to have found this place as the people are amazing and friendly. I truly feel comfortable at MPR!” - Pauline C. “I had suffered from severe knee pain for seven weeks. I went to four different specialists without any relief. When I called, I was greeted by a genuinely understanding staff, schedules were rearranged and treatment was provided immediately. THANK YOU for helping me.” - Joann F.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Do I Have A Trial Period With My New Hearing Instruments?
In the State of N.J., a trial period to test drive hearing aids is not required by law. However, in 98% of other States, you would receive 30 or 45 days to wear and evaluate the hearing instruments and return the system to the hearing care provider if you’re not satisfied. In fact, certain providers will give you greater than two months to return the hearing aid system. If you return the hearing aids, there may be a small restocking fee which is typically 5%-10% of the total purchase price. This restocking fee is very common, however, feel free to negotiate that percentage. Remember, the hearing care professional is spending time with you and should be compensated for his/ her time. For those of you who have never worn a hearing aid, it will take time for your brain to acclimate to all of the sounds we “normally” hear and for many of us, it could take at least 30 days. In fact, “new” hearing aid users are typically not fit at 100% prescription during the
initial fi rst fit. More often than not, the new hearing aid user is set between 80-85% of predicted prescription for the patients hearing loss. It will usually require at least two additional follow up visits to reach close to 100%. The more “time” the hearing care professional wants to spend with you, the greater the chances of a successful experience. In my opinion, I believe all potential hearing aid patients need a minimum of 45 days to acclimate to wearing hearing aids and at least two follow up visits need to occur after the initial fitting.

What To Do For Chronically Itchy Skin By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
The average person is estimated to scratch an itch on their body about a hundred times a day, and that is considered pretty normal. But what if you have a chronic itch? The scratching could be non-stop and you could scratch yourself to the point of bleeding! I can help you today. Itching is one of those symptoms that will drive you mad unless you get to the root cause and treat it. This can be the most difficult part. Unfortunately, digging deep isn’t what happens at first when you show up at the doctor’s office with an itchy rash. You will have to go to the pharmacy to pick up a with steroid like a Medrol Dose pack, and some Benadryl. If you’re among the lucky, the itchy sensation will clear up with those. But what if it doesn’t? The misery of chronic itchy sensations, and an accompanying painful rash could baffle you and your practitioners for weeks, sometimes months and years! Today I’ll cover a few conditions that cause itch, along with my suggestions for treatment. Please ask your doctor about what’s right for you. Tinea Versicolor. This common fungal infection results in discolored patches of skin that are lighter or darker than surrounding skin. Since this is caused by a fungus, you will need to eliminate refined sugar in your diet because that feeds fungus. You could rub some coconut oil on the area since that is an easily accessible natural anti-fungal. If it’s all over, you could take a shower and use a Selenium Sulfide body wash (like Selsun Blue) or buy a soap containing Zinc Pyrithione. Hot Tub Folliculitis. This is sometimes also called Pool Folliculitis and the rash can cause
itchy, red and tender bumps that contain pus. You can get this from a swimming pool or whirlpool that looks like it has perfectly, clean water because the causative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa will survive in water that’s been chlorinated! Treatments usually include silver-containing creams or gels. Some people try compresses with distilled vinegar. In serious cases, an antibiotic will be prescribed. Progesterone Dermatitis. This is an immune-driven condition that causes itchiness in a recurring fashion due to the rise in progesterone with every menstrual cycle. Managing hormones and suppressing the immune response may help this. Neuropathic Itch. This type of itch is a difficult one to diagnose because there is no presentation of a rash or bump, or scaly skin or anything! It’s your word basically, and nothing to show for it. You can change your shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, bedding and clothing and the itch will stay with you. One of the most promising treatments for neuropathic itch are the JAK inhibitor drugs. One in particular is Xelganz (tofacitinib). I researched like crazy to find a natural JAK inhibitor and it appears that thymoquinone might be helpful. Black Seed oil supplements are rich in that compound. In closing, I will refer you to the work of Dr. Brian S. Kim who can be found on twitter as @itchdoctor. Dr. Kim has done pioneering research on the topic of itch. If you’re interested in the longer version of my article which includes more causes for chronic itch, I can email it to you if you’re part of my online community.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Workers’ Compensation Basics
Robert C. Shea Esq.
& Car Wash
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 Christopher R. Shea Esq. if I am injured during the course of my duties as a volunteer for a municipality?” It has been determined that volunteer firefighters, 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. The law firm of R.C. 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.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Grants Provided To Combat Food Insecurity
AS THE LEADING RESOURCE FOR SENIOR VETERANS WE WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE APPROVAL PROCESS
LAKEWOOD – Jewish Federation of Ocean County (JFOC) has announced grants for five organizations that combat food insecurity. JFOC has made food insecurity one of its funding priorities throughout the pandemic. This round of grants was timed to be dispersed prior to the holiday of Passover. Locally, two grants were given to Fulfill the foodbank serving Monmouth and Ocean Counties and The Joel E. Perlmutter Food Pantry, which will be a store where clients can choose their food and part of Inspire-NJ’s new project in Manchester. The funding to Fulfill helped with an increase in Passover needs providing proteins, produce, and eggs that were delivered March 23. Providing these funds specifically for Passover also enables Fulfill to expend their other unrestricted funds to provide food to the broader community as well. Overseas grants were given to The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), who help some of the poorest Jews
around the world; Leket, Israel’s national food bank; and Yad Ezra. Yad Ezra plans to deliver 50,000 pandemic food baskets during Passover. The Corona Virus has increased food insecurity worldwide. Leket currently serves over 246,000 people in need each week. Annabel Lindenbaum, board chair for JFOC commented, “In a year fraught with overwhelming upheaval for so many, I am thrilled that, we as a Federation, are choosing to be part of the assistance to help families to combat food insecurity. As Jews, ‘welcoming the stranger in our midst’ is such an integral part of our tradition. When we begin our Seder with ‘all who are hungry should come and eat’, we will know that the Ocean County Jewish Federation is not a silent bystander.” JFOC plans to continue with another round of grants to combat food insecurity in the fall. Check jewishoceancounty.org for more information.

Lakewood Health Centers To Receive Vaccines Directly From Federal Government
WASHINGTON, D.C. − Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) applauded the announcement that the federal government is bolstering the supply of COVID-19 vaccines at two Lakewood federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) to help meet the urgent and high demand for vaccinations. “I greatly welcome this desperately needed federal support to increase the availability of vaccines to Lakewood residents and those in the surrounding communities,” said Rep. Smith. The Center for Health, Education, Medicine, and Dentistry (CHEMED) and Ocean Health Initiatives (OHI) are slated to receive a direct and additional allocation of vaccines from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support their current vaccine supply from the State of New Jersey. “We thank the federal government in recognizing our work to date and including CHEMED in the federal vaccine allocation program,” said Dr. Dovid Friedman, the Chief Executive Officer of CHEMED. “We look forward to receiving vaccines from both the federal government and working with our partners at the state in continuing to administer vaccines effectively.” CHEMED and OHI are among 700 health centers nationwide that will receive vaccines under HRSA’s expanded Health Center COVID-19 Vaccine Program designed to reach communities that have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic.

centers become FQHCs when they initially sought the designation, enabling them to qualify for much-needed federal support that continues to this day. “While nearly 20 percent of Ocean County residents have received at least one dose of the COVID vaccine, we must do more to expediate the vaccination process to help put an end to the tremendous suffering caused by this pandemic,” Smith continued. “This additional support from the federal government will help New Jersey meet the urgent demand for vaccines in a more timely manner and get them to the people who need it as quickly as possible.” Smith strongly supported and voted for the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the Consolidated Appropriations Act - both of which provided funding for the federal government to directly purchase COVID vaccines and support federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) during the pandemic.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE New Education Pilot Program For New Jersey Students Will Help Foster Essential Climate Literacy
TRENTON – In the face of the growing climate crisis, Atlantic City Electric, Exelon, the Drumthwacket Foundation and Sustainable Jersey have announced the creation of the NJ Student Climate Challenge, a new pilot program to foster the growing role students and young people are playing in addressing the climate crisis. The initiative builds on New Jersey’s efforts to increase climate literacy among young people across the state, including its first-in-the-nation effort to incorporate climate change education across all K-12 state academic standards. The Drumthwacket Foundation is working with Sustainable Jersey, the program facilitator, to use the $500,000 grant from Atlantic City Electric and its parent company Exelon to develop an exciting new contest that encourages students to explore and address the local impacts of climate change and develop solutions to help their communities become more resilient to a changing environment. For its fi rst year, the pilot program will provide support and recognition to teams of students from public middle and high schools in Atlantic City Electric’s service area, with the ability to expand the program to a full statewide New Jersey contest in subsequent years. “I am thrilled that the NJ Student Climate Challenge will build upon our state’s historic effort to incorporate climate change education across our K-12 learning standards,” said First Lady Tammy

Murphy, president of The Drumthwacket Foundation. “New Jersey’s children will lead the nation in the future green economy because of programs and partnerships like this. And, as our students learn to think more critically about how they can help their own local communities become more climate conscious and resilient, our entire state will benefit.” “Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges we face, and we need to take the necessary steps today to help ensure our children have a cleaner and brighter future tomorrow,” said Dave Velazquez, president of Pepco Holdings, which includes Atlantic City Electric. “That includes giving our young people the opportunities and resources they need to understand and address climate change in their local communities. We are proud to do all we can to help the state combat climate change and empower youth through this unique program, which will help New Jersey continue to be a national leader in charting a course to a clean and resilient energy future.” The NJ Student Climate Challenge will include a virtual student climate summit and a student contest. Students will participate through their respective schools. There is no cost to schools or students to participate. Contest and summit details are available at bit.ly/NJStudentClimateChallenge.

It will include a series of virtual learning sessions scheduled over a four-week period in February and March. Presenters will include experts from state government agencies, academia and nonprofits and others working to address the causes and impacts of climate change. The sessions will be delivered live with students. Recordings will be available on the Sustainable Jersey for School’s website. To participate in the contest, student teams and their teacher mentors must identify and complete a school or community project to address the climate crisis and create a digital story reflecting on the impact of climate change and what they learned by completing the project. Contest submissions are due June 11. A panel of educators and experts from nonprofits, state agencies and the NJ Stu-
dent Climate Challenge partner organizations will judge the contest submissions. Select entries will be recognized at an awards ceremony in September hosted by the Drumthwacket Foundation with New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and First Lady Tammy Murphy. “We know our customers want cleaner air and affordable, reliable energy,” said Kathleen Barrón, senior vice president of Government and Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy for Exelon. “From our educational programs to our fleet of carbon-free energy sources to our extensive grant programs, including our Climate Change Investment Initiative which will support the next generation of innovators, all of our investments and strategic decisions are focused on meeting the needs and expectations of our customers.” Atlantic City Electric has recently taken several steps to help New Jersey achieve a clean energy future, including proposals to support more clean transportation, increase energy efficiency offerings in the state and build a Smart Energy Network that will connect customers to more clean energy services and technologies.
