New year, new direction for area vitamin and health supplement guru Ruth Kendall, who recently purchased Just Organics, a produce delivery service based in Somers Point. Just Organics is an organic produce and grocery home delivery service offering fruits and vegetables, plus some marketplace items, to build into a box for a complete meal dropped at the doorstep. “What you’re going to get is the most abundant, beautiful array of four or five vegetables, four or five fruits. The value is definitely there, and you would probably spend more and get less at ShopRite,” Kendall said. Kendall has been involved in the natural foods and supplement industry for decades. She said her wellness journey began during her first pregnancy, when she wanted to feed her baby well and supplement herself properly. Two years later, her second child was born with Hereditary Multiple Osteochondromas, requiring her to learn much more to provide for his nutritional needs. “When it comes to helping people with their health, they need to know where you came from,” Kendall said. “His condition required me to really step it up. It’s why I took it to the level I am now.” She said she started eating organic more than 30 years ago, when it was “unaffordable, unattainable” and had to be purchased through cooperatives or community agriculture. Now, it's easy to purchase organic products almost anywhere. The difference, she said, is the freshness and quality. That’s where her new venture ties into her old. Kendall and her husband, Keith, have owned and operated The Honey Tree natural foods store in Northfield since 2015 after being longtime customers of and working for former owner Ron Groff. He had started the business in the late 1980s in a satellite store at the Tilton Shopping Center. They offer high-end quality vitamins, supplements, all-natural hair and skin care, and all-natural foods that are healthy and free of contaminants, additives and artificial ingredients, according to their website, honeytree.net. “Our products are chosen based on efficacy and overall quality, ensuring that we bring you only the best,” Kendall said. Also available at The Honey Tree is a wide variety of organic, gluten-free, plant-based/vegan, paleo and preservative-free natural foods, as well as high-quality CBD products. The Kendalls also provide consultations and will continue to do so, not only for the vitamins and supplements but also for the organic produce and associated products. “Tell me what you eat and let’s find the best choice for you,” Kendall said of her philosophy. Just Organics at 23 Somers Point-Mays Landings Road, Unit 1, is located near the intersection of Route 9 in Somers Point, New Jersey. Kendall has the products from The Honey Tree out front while also offering fresh organic produce, the primary part of Just Organics — its produce delivery service — in the back. “Organic fruits and vegetables is a new venture for us,” she said. However, Just Organics has been around since 2015, well before the trend of home delivery took off during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kendall said while they will continue to ship vitamins and supplements via mail, as well as through their home-delivery service, she never would allow a third party to deliver her produce. “I will never deliver food via the mail. It doesn’t hold up, the quality is not going to hold up,” she said, noting she would lose chain of custody and have to depend on someone else. Just Organics, on which the Kendalls have partnered with Glen and Donna Ellenbart, has five drivers, each assigned to a specific area. Their products are available for delivery throughout Atlantic and Cape May counties. “They know the customers, know the routes, live in the community,” she said. “We’re trying to limit the number of people touching your stuff.” Kendall said she is creating a model based on sustainability, using recycled boxes that customers can reuse.

At The Philly Pretzel Factory in Somers Point, New Jersey, the art of making pretzels really comes down to a science. It takes dedication, chemistry, and a refusal to compromise the process. And yes, sometimes that means starting from scratch to get it right. From our shape to our recipe, commitment is how we keep our product consistent, every time. It’s not just about what goes into our pretzels – it’s about how you feel when you eat one…or four! It’s in the memories you make at tailgates, birthday parties, and movie nights – and the happiness you feel when you take the first bite. Sounds like an oxymoron, right? Wrong. All of our pretzels are hand-twisted and baked fresh using an ingredients list that’s short and sweet. Flour, water, yeast, and a pinch of salt are all you knead for a fresh, no mess snack. Because our pretzels are so deliciously simple, we leave it up to you to customize with dips and mustards. Find a new favorite every time! Come in and visit us at the Groveland Shopping Plaza - 501 New Road in Somers Point, New Jersey or give us a call at: 1-609-927-4442.

At its inception the department consisted of two officers, and when they were unavailable police duties were performed by the New Jersey State Police. Over the decades that have since passed, the Northfield Police Department has expanded to provide full-time law enforcement services to the community. The department consists of sworn police officers, clerical support personnel, and uniformed adult school crossing guards. The most highly visible component of the department is the Uniformed Patrol Division. On duty 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, they provide proactive law enforcement services for traffic and criminal offenses. The Administrative Division consists of several bureaus, including the Detective Bureau, which is responsible for the investigation of criminal offenses against person and property, the Records Bureau, which maintains all department records, and School Crossing Guards, who provide a safe environment for children to move to and from the Northfield Community School.

If you are a pet owner and live in Atlantic County, perhaps you have either heard of or taken your pets to Dr. Mark Newkirk or the offices he founded in Margate and Egg Harbor Township. While the Margate location closed in the early 2000s, Newkirk Family Veterinarians in Egg Harbor Township took its place. Even though Dr. Newkirk retired from working at his office a few years ago, he has not quite stopped his veterinarian practices. Now that he no longer works at his office in EHT, he travels out of the country to help endangered animals and abandoned pets with organizations like World Vets and the African Conservation Experience. He has recently visited Africa, Russia, Ukraine, and Thailand. Dr. Newkirk has been working with animals for nearly his entire life. When he was just 14 years old, he got a job at the Margate Animal Hospital, which he eventually took over. During his college years, as he stated, “...I wanted to actually be a zoo veterinarian back in the 1980s and did an externship at the Philadelphia Zoo. The problem in those days was zoos were designed for people and not for animals.” Nowadays, zoos are equipped with veterinarians for animal rehabilitation centers, but back then, zoos cared more about paying customers than the animals on display for their entertainment. Since no zoo offered what Dr. Newkirk was looking for, he returned to the Margate Animal Hospital. Now that he is retired, he returned to his passion as he said, “...I have the time, and… There are many volunteer programs in Africa and worldwide to work with these types of animals. So I kind of went back to my first love.” Dr. Newkirk travels out of the country for about four months each year to help animals. In South Africa, he has worked with various animal species. His favorites to work with are big cats working like lions and cheetahs. In South Africa, there are lion and cheetah rescues and reserves. These big cats have had their land encroached on by humans, who have turned much of the country into farmland. Many remaining natural areas are fenced off, which cannot always contain them. Now, there is an issue of lions and cheetahs being shot by farmers who are trying to protect their livestock. Dr. Newkirk has also worked with elephants. In Thailand, he worked at an elephant rescue center and conservation reserve. In South Africa, he helped organizations handle the issue of overpopulation. While endangered, they overrun Kruger National Park and find their way onto farmland, often destroying crops. Dr. Newkirk has also volunteered at Hluhuwe-iMfolozi Park with research on wild dogs. He worked with researchers and veterinarians to study and help all different kinds of African Wild Dogs. He was there when the pack was getting so big that there was not enough prey. So Dr. Newkirk helped split the pack and transfer some dogs to other African parks. On top of helping organizations keep lion, cheetah, elephant, and wild dog populations a healthy size, Dr. Newkirk has also worked with rhinoceroses during his time in Africa. He has joined the fight against poaching rhinos. The organizations that Dr. Newkirk helps out at are all nonprofit.

New year, new direction for area vitamin and health supplement guru Ruth Kendall, who recently purchased Just Organics, a produce delivery service based in Somers Point. Just Organics is an organic produce and grocery home delivery service offering fruits and vegetables, plus some marketplace items, to build into a box for a complete meal dropped at the doorstep. “What you’re going to get is the most abundant, beautiful array of four or five vegetables, four or five fruits. The value is definitely there, and you would probably spend more and get less at ShopRite,” Kendall said. Kendall has been involved in the natural foods and supplement industry for decades. She said her wellness journey began during her first pregnancy, when she wanted to feed her baby well and supplement herself properly. Two years later, her second child was born with Hereditary Multiple Osteochondromas, requiring her to learn much more to provide for his nutritional needs. “When it comes to helping people with their health, they need to know where you came from,” Kendall said. “His condition required me to really step it up. It’s why I took it to the level I am now.” She said she started eating organic more than 30 years ago, when it was “unaffordable, unattainable” and had to be purchased through cooperatives or community agriculture. Now, it's easy to purchase organic products almost anywhere. The difference, she said, is the freshness and quality. That’s where her new venture ties into her old. Kendall and her husband, Keith, have owned and operated The Honey Tree natural foods store in Northfield since 2015 after being longtime customers of and working for former owner Ron Groff. He had started the business in the late 1980s in a satellite store at the Tilton Shopping Center. They offer high-end quality vitamins, supplements, all-natural hair and skin care, and all-natural foods that are healthy and free of contaminants, additives and artificial ingredients, according to their website, honeytree.net. “Our products are chosen based on efficacy and overall quality, ensuring that we bring you only the best,” Kendall said. Also available at The Honey Tree is a wide variety of organic, gluten-free, plant-based/vegan, paleo and preservative-free natural foods, as well as high-quality CBD products. The Kendalls also provide consultations and will continue to do so, not only for the vitamins and supplements but also for the organic produce and associated products. “Tell me what you eat and let’s find the best choice for you,” Kendall said of her philosophy. Just Organics at 23 Somers Point-Mays Landings Road, Unit 1, is located near the intersection of Route 9 in Somers Point, New Jersey. Kendall has the products from The Honey Tree out front while also offering fresh organic produce, the primary part of Just Organics — its produce delivery service — in the back. “Organic fruits and vegetables is a new venture for us,” she said. However, Just Organics has been around since 2015, well before the trend of home delivery took off during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kendall said while they will continue to ship vitamins and supplements via mail, as well as through their home-delivery service, she never would allow a third party to deliver her produce. “I will never deliver food via the mail. It doesn’t hold up, the quality is not going to hold up,” she said, noting she would lose chain of custody and have to depend on someone else. Just Organics, on which the Kendalls have partnered with Glen and Donna Ellenbart, has five drivers, each assigned to a specific area. Their products are available for delivery throughout Atlantic and Cape May counties. “They know the customers, know the routes, live in the community,” she said. “We’re trying to limit the number of people touching your stuff.” Kendall said she is creating a model based on sustainability, using recycled boxes that customers can reuse.

All referrals and most insurances accepted. An annual screening mammogram only takes 15 minutes. Scheduling an annual mammogram starting at age 40 (or earlier, depending on your breast cancer risk factors and family history) is one of the most important things women can do to take control of their health. New Jersey Imaging Network proudly serves women throughout Bergen, Camden, Essex, Gloucester, Hudson, Middlesex, Morris, Passaic, Union, and Ocean counties with convenient, comfortable screening close to home. Regular screenings make a difference! A screening mammogram can detect breast cancer before symptoms appear, when treatment options are often more effective. Whether it's your first mammogram or your annual screening, we're here to make the experience as convenient and comfortable as possible. Importance of Annual Screening Mammograms: Early Detection of Breast Cancer: Mammograms can detect breast cancer at its earliest stages, often before symptoms appear. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and survival. Improved Treatment Options: When breast cancer is detected early, treatment options are generally less aggressive and more effective. This can lead to better outcomes and a higher quality of life for patients. Monitoring Changes: Annual screening mammograms provide a baseline of breast tissue that helps radiologists detect subtle changes over time. This comparison can help identify abnormalities or suspicious changes that might indicate cancer. Risk Assessment: For women with a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors, annual mammograms can help assess their individual risk and guide decisions about additional screenings or preventive measures. Empowerment through Awareness: Knowing one's breast health status through regular screening empowers individuals to take proactive steps towards their health, including lifestyle changes and early intervention if necessary. Put the Power of Artificial Intelligence Behind Your Mammogram! At New Jersey Imaging Network, we are transforming breast cancer detection with a revolutionary offering called Enhanced Breast Cancer Detection® (EBCD®). EBCD® is the only solution of its kind—a package of breast care tools that work in concert to optimize your annual breast cancer screening exam. If you want greater confidence in your results, schedule your screening mammogram appointment today and say YES to EBCD®!
