During anesthesia years I observed and helped many patients with pain. Some came for surgeries and ended up having chronic pain whereas there were others who were already dealing with chronic pain and were looking into many more surgeries. Having practiced anesthesiology in 2 different continents I saw the different sociocultural approaches to pain and the impact on physical and emotional well being of patients. I saw gaps in the knowledge and support of these patients. So I gave up my full time anesthesia job to learn more about interventional pain from the best in the world. I joined Cleveland Clinic as a fellow to learn more about multidisciplinary approaches to pain as well as more advanced treatments for pain. After my training I decided to dedicate my time to treatment of pain in all types of pain pathologies. I believe that every pain is unique and should be treated as such. I believe that every patient should have access to the best possible care, and I strive to provide this to my patients.

An entrepreneur, author and innovator, Bryn Mawr’s Charlie Szoradi has spent a lifetime exploring the connections between how we live, what we eat and the way we impact the world. OnlyKale sprouted when he noticed a market gap for the quick and convenient consumption of one of nature’s most nutrient-dense leafy greens. As CEO and cofounder, Szoradi has simplified access to his line of organic freeze-dried products with a powder for active lifestyles, making it an easy addition to any protein shake. What was the inspiration for the OnlyKale line? I’ve personally grown some 60 heads of kale a year for home use for years. I grew tired of taking fresh bags on weekends when I’d travel. Single-serve sticks make it fast and easy. Why kale? It has more benefits in it than what pharmaceutical industry could produce with a trillion dollars—and Mother Earth has given it to us. You’ll feel more energized and recover sooner. With kale as an antioxidant, you may not get as sick—or sick at all. We can also make a useful case for weight loss, since there’s only five calories in an average box. If you have three vegetable servings a day and one of them is only five calories, that’s ridiculously small. What are the advantages of freeze-dying and powderizing it? The vast majority of kale in the U.S. is grown in California, so it often travels multiple days to its destination in a grocery store or market. The days of transit under refrigerated conditions reduce the nutrients by as much as 30%. We freeze-dry the kale right at the farms to retain over 95% of the nutrients. By powderizing it, we reduce the shipping weight by 90%. It’s also shelf-stable—and maybe the most sustainable and increasingly popular future food solution on the planet. How do you typically consume the powder? Mixed with water, sometimes with a little bit of lemon—or mixing it with morning smoothies. For kids who hate vegetables, you can sneak it into food, a salad or lasagna. Some are also putting it in cocktails, so there’s a social side. What does the future hold for your company? Expansion into grocery stores, lifestyle venue stores and health-food locations beyond the e-commerce that’s already out there. I want to build a network of influencers who aren’t necessarily on Instagram—authentic users of the product who are also advocates and can build awareness among other legit active users within their networks. It’s a grassroots play from the ground up, you might say. Kale Facts Scientific name: Brassica oleracea var. sabellica. Family: Brassicaceae. High in: Vitamins A, C and K, antioxidants, potassium, calcium, and iron. When it grows: A cool-season vegetable that thrives in the fall and winter months. Varieties: Curly kale (with ruffled leaves), Lacinato kale (aka dinosaur kale or Tuscan kale, with long, dark-green leaves), Red Russian kale (with flat, fringed leaves and purplish-red veins). Great for: Salads, stir-fries, smoothies and soups. It can be sautéed, roasted or baked.

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, she said, it’s easy to purchase organic 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.

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. The organizations that Dr. Newkirk helps out at are all nonprofit. If you feel inspired but need a veterinarian, research, or animal behavioralist background, there are still ways to help. Some positions involve feeding or watching the animals if you can travel. There are also bracelets that you can buy, both online and in various stores all over, that allow you to track an animal of your choice. A donation to a wildlife organization will be made for every bracelet purchased. You can also donate online.

My Mission (written by Lisa Klassman) “Invest in our Youth, to Build a Better Tomorrow” I envision an Atlantic City that shines as a beacon of safety, prosperity, and unity. A city where our neighborhoods are safe and welcoming, where every street is well-lit and patrolled, and where locals, families, and tourists can walk without fear.

My vision includes classrooms that inspire, parks filled with laughter, and a government that reflects the values of the people it serves. I see Atlantic City not just as a tourist destination, but as a place people are proud to call home. A place where futures are built and families are rooted. “ My mission is to “Invest in our Youth, to Build a Better Tomorrow”, the strength of our City tomorrow depends on how we support and guide our young people today! I am committed to bringing principled, common-sense leadership to City Hall. Leadership that listens to the people, responds with urgency, and acts with purpose.

During anaesthesia years I observed and helped many patients with pain. Some came for surgeries and ended up having chronic pain whereas there were others who were already dealing with chronic pain and were looking into many more surgeries. Having practised anesthesiology in 2 different continents I saw the different sociocultural approaches to pain and the impact on physical and emotional well being of patients. I saw gaps in the knowledge and support of these patients. So I gave up my full time anaesthesia job to learn more about interventional pain from the best in the world. I joined Cleveland Clinic as a fellow to learn more about multidisciplinary approaches to pain as well as more advanced treatments for pain. After my training I decided to dedicate my time to treatment of pain in all types of pain pathologies. I believe that every pain is unique and should be treated as such. I believe that every patient should have access to the best possible care, and I strive to provide this to my patients.

After almost 50 years as a shepherd in South Jersey, Msgr. William Hodge is home. Granted, he spent about 17 of those years at “home” – Atlantic City, where he was born – serving what is now the Parish of Saint Monica. Today, however, he can rest, assured that his days of parish transfers are a thing of the past. Effective July 1, Msgr. Hodge retired from active ministry, and he is already enjoying the fruits of a vocation well-lived. “I love it,” he enthuses on the present, while reflecting on the past. “I have enjoyed the priesthood thoroughly. It’s always been a blessing.” The son of Marie and Bill, and younger brother to Marie, Msgr. Hodge recalls a childhood spent among the Catholic community in Atlantic City. Sunday mornings were spent at Saint Nicholas of Tolentine Church, while weekdays were for classwork at Our Lady Star of the Sea Elementary School. “Most of my family’s life revolved around the parish and school,” he explained, adding that traditions such as 40 Hours Devotion, May Crownings and parish missions were a major part of life. Beginning in the fifth grade, Msgr. Hodge began serving as an altar boy, and a year later, a larger calling began taking shape. “During the 40 Hours, I watched a parish priest carry the Blessed Sacrament. … I said to the Almighty God, ‘One day, that’ll be me” taking Jesus to others, he said. After studies at institutions including Saint Bernard’s Seminary, Rochester, N.Y.; Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary, Wynnewood, Pa., and the University of Dayton in Ohio, he began doing just that. He was ordained a priest of the Diocese on May 25, 1974, by Bishop George H. Guilfoyle. “I never had a doubt,” he said. “I knew God and the priesthood were my destiny. I was very confident that the almighty God had a plan for me.” He has enjoyed shepherding multitudes of generations throughout his assignments as parochial vicar, administrator and pastor at various diocesan parishes as well as walking with students at Wildwood Catholic and Gloucester Catholic high schools. He also was a spiritual resource for patients at Ancora Psychiatric Hospital while serving as chaplain. He said one of the most powerful moments in his ministry was witnessing the last days of Bishop Guilfoyle. Msgr. Hodge served as a caretaker for the Bishop, who had cancer. In sickness, his Bishop’s mission never wavered. “I remember Bishop before daily Mass, praying out loud and telling God how much he loved him. It was very touching,” Msgr. Hodge recalled. Throughout the years, he has drawn strength from saints such as Thérèse of Lisieux, inspired by her desire to “see Jesus more passionately and intimately,” and Teresa of Avila. He has felt divine providence at every turn, be it at his first assignment at Saint Francis de Sales Parish, Barrington; the six years at Saint Vincent Pallotti, Haddon Township; the time serving churches of Atlantic City; his final assignment as pastor of Saint Mary Parish, Gloucester City – and so many other places in-between. “I always believed that God and the Holy Spirit were behind everything. It was all an opportunity to glorify Him. I just happened to be the recipient of His grace.” Now helping out with weekend Masses at the Parish of Saint Monica, Msgr. Hodge is thankful for the blessings of the priesthood and has some advice for young men discerning a calling. The priesthood is “the happiest life I could encourage for them,” he said. “A life of service that goes beyond all imagination.”

Atlantic County Wellness Programs Originally known as Individuals Concerted in Effort (ICE), the purpose of our Atlantic Community Wellness Programs is to provide an environment of support and empowerment that promotes wellness and recovery. Mental health recovery is a journey of healing and transformation that empowers individuals with mental health challenges to live meaningful lives in the communities of their choice while striving to reach their full potential. For more information on the programs offered through the Atlantic Community Wellness Center, please contact Julia Gimbel, Community Wellness Center Manager at 609-652-3800 ext. 0315 jgimbel@mhanj.org ? Since 1983, our programs have provided a wide range of recreational activities, self-help groups, individual advocacy, and educational training in various areas. Currently, our programs are hosted at multiple locations throughout Atlantic County—check out our monthly calendar for details—and are also accessible virtually through the United by Wellness Center. Wellness & Recovery Support Services Wellness Navigators work in collaboration with referred individuals who may lack the resources, knowledge or skills needed to the make those next steps on their road to recovery. Navigators offer assistance by linking to concrete services, advocate with consumers on both an individual and systems level, and serve as role models so that each service recipient learns the skills needed to advocate for themselves. Many of our Navigator staff are peers working in the field. Peer Support is not a new concept. The field of addictions introduced the concept of integrating peer workers into the service delivery team. This concept formally expanded to the mental health held during the 1980's when mental health consumers began demonstrating the value of the peer worker’s input in programming, support services, and policy development. NJ consumers began working and volunteering throughout the state. The Mental Health Association in Atlantic County [MHAAC] has a long history of creating job opportunities for consumers of mental health services, who are people who have themselves experienced mental illness. In 1986, the first Peer Outreach Support Team was created, by consumers working with MHAAC. This program utilized trained staff, who provided outreach services to those unwilling, unable, or unmotivated to leave their homes. They also provided in-home peer support to consumers in crises and assist them on their road to recovery. Home visits and referrals mimic existing professional services with a twist, peers helping peers. The Atlantic County POST program gained a reputation for providing services to consumers needing assistance, which enable them to remain in the community. Today there is an increasing number of individuals being referred for services who do not meet the criteria for PACT or ICMS. However, these individuals can benefit from some concrete services. Many of the referrals to our support services need short-term interventions to stabilize a current crisis or to overcome a roadblock, while the smaller number are in need of more intense long term services. Peers who currently work as Wellness Navigators have demonstrated that, they are sometimes better suited for doing things that in the past were only within the scope of the traditional social work staff, and that having lived experience with mental health does not diminish their ability to do a job. This is empowering both for the peers working as Navigators and for the individuals they work with who view the Navigators as a positive role model whose life experience gives them insight their journey to recovery.
