Inlet Dredging Still Under Consideration
By Daniel Nee fter a nearly three month period of inactivity, beach replenishment efforts were poised to get back underway on Long Beach Island in early April. Crews from Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company have begun mobilizing equipment on numerous beaches in Beach Haven in preparation for the return of three dredge boats, the Liberty Island, Dodge Island and Padre Island, which exited the area in January to perform work in Georgia. The hiatus caused an uproar in the island community, with local officials decrying the decision by the contractor to leave the island during the winter storm season. After the January nor’easter, Long Beach Township was forced the truck in sand to the Holgate section, which is still badly damaged following Superstorm Sandy in 2012. According to the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, the Liberty Island scheduled to return to Ocean County by April 7, with
the Dodge Island and Padre Island April 10. The exact schedule for the work to be completed
is up in the air for two reasons: pending eminent domain proceedings in Long Beach Township and

Residents Plead For Road Repaving
By Daniel Nee BARNEGAT – Powell Lane in Barnegat Township is known for its potholes, poor drainage and eroding surface. It’s so bad that one resident said it is preventing her from being able to sell her home. Unfortunately, township officials cite the high cost of road construction as the primary driver behind delays in fixing the issues. “My street is horrible,” said Paul Bykow, a Powell Lane resident. “You guys show up, you throw some cold patch down, and it lasts a day, maybe two days. I’m starting (Repaving - See Page 5)

Egg Inlet as a donor site from which replenishment sand will be sourced. In late February, the Army Cor ps began accepting comments after releasing a draft environmental assessment on the suitability of taking sand from the shoal. Elected officials and members of the local boating and fishing communities have pushed for sand from the shoal to be used in the project primarily because the inlet has become more difficult to navigate in recent years, adversely affecting the ability of the charter fishing fleet at the island’s southern end to survive. The federal government would not normally dredge Little Egg Inlet, as it does with Barnegat Inlet, since Little Egg is not considered a “commercial” inlet. The draft report from the Army Corps suggested Little Egg Inlet would be a suitable source for replenishment sand. The inlet, according to (Inlet - See Page 5)
Barnegat Police To Go High Tech
By Daniel Nee BARNEGAT – Police officers will soon have a robust weapon in their arsenal to keep the township safe: information. The police department is going digital, officials said at a recent meeting of the township committee. “More and more of the record-keeping and functionality in the police department is now computer-driven rather than paper-driven,” said Mayor John Novak. Soon, the department will debut Spillman public safety software, a
modern dispatching and information source for officers that provides in-depth information on calls, the history of calls to a particular address or from a particular phone number. The database-driven software will allow officers to cross reference information to provide a better understanding of who and what they are dealing with on a given call. “It keeps our police officers safe,” Novak said. The recent switch to county dispatching will allow the township (High Tech - See Page 5)

the report, has about 10 feet of “high quality” sand ready for use. Moreover, the site could be usable for years to come, including future maintenance projects. “Due to longshore transport processes, Little Egg Inlet is a deposition area and will continue to replenish over time,” the report said. If sand from the inlet is used in replenishment, the state Department of Environmental Protection has requested it be taken in such a way that a channel would be formed. Ultimately, the Army Corps will need to consider public comment on the plan before moving forward with it, however the report was favorable in its recommendation.

to implement the new system a significantly reduced cost. Barnegat had planned to purchase the Spillman system on its own, but with dispatching now being handled by the county, the township can use the county’s software and simply pay maintenance fees each year. The software would have cost $201,000. “The check was actually cut, and when we got on board with the county for dispatch, we found out we could get on board with
The Southern Ocean Times, April 16, 2016, Page 5 “Little Egg Inlet is ideally located as a borrow source for the LBI beachfill project, situated at the southern end of Long Beach Island and about 3 miles from the southern end of the project area,” the report said. Current estimates call for the project to be completed by June 23, however the real estate acquisitions required in two areas of the project – Seaview Drive South in Loveladies to a previously construction section at Harvey Cedars and North Beach and northern Surf City – could affect the completion date. If equipment is shifted to Little Egg Inlet, the date could also be pushed back. With the work again commencing, crews would be at the southernmost portion of the project, from Beach Haven south to the limits of project at Holgate.
their system,” explained Novak. The township, in preparation for the technological evolution, eliminated one position within the police department and added another. A records clerk position was axed and a confidential aide position was added. The role of the employee in the aide position will be to focus on technology. “We need an IT person in our police department to manage the functionality of all these databases,” Novak said. The position will pay $46,000 per year. Interviews were already conducted and a candidate has been selected, officials said.

to lose pieces of my own driveway there, that I spent a fortune on myself.” Township officials recognize – and agree – that the road needs to be either paved or completely rebuilt. But beside the cost factor, the small width of the roadway itself is a bit of a barrier to truly making improvements. The road, 16 feet wide at a major, 90 degree turn, is equivalent to “a lane and a half,” said Township Engineer John Hess. That means a rebuilding and expansion of the road is needed, costly as it may be. “The road is in terrible condition,” Hess said. “There’s no drainage on the street. There are areas that are rutted and settled.” Powell Lane resident Holly Cooper agreed. “It’s like a minefield – you can’t go to the left or right,” Cooper told members of the township committee at a recent meeting. “I’ve been there for 20 years and all that’s been done is patching every year. It’s patch upon patch, and it’s very dangerous. We had a 10-inch [deep] pot hole there.” The township has not been successful in obtaining grant funding to repair the road, a common method municipalities use to help
provide taxpayers with relief for road-building costs, which in New Jersey are the highest in the nation per mile of roadway. “Repaving a road is an extraordinarily expensive thing,” said Committeewoman Susan McCabe, explaining that the state Department of Transportation has not offered funding for Powell Lane to be repaired despite applications submitted by the township. “I think part of the reason for that is the low headcount on the road, so to speak, the low amount of residents overall. They tend to look at those types of things,” McCabe said. Simply paving the small road, located off East Bay Avenue, would likely cost between $300,000 and $400,000. For now, officials are attempting to secure alternative savings methods beyond the state grant program. One such method under consideration is contracting with the Ocean County Road Department to perform a repaving that would come at a lower cost than a traditional contractor. “It wouldn’t tear up the road and re-do the road, but it would provide a full paving of the road,” said McCabe. “It would help with elevations, some of the pooling that’s going on and would eliminate the patchwork.”

Library More Than Just Books When was the last time you visited your town’s library? If your last visit was more than a short time ago, you might be surprised at just how much modern libraries have to offer. In any community, libraries are valuable tools for education, research, community outreach and entertainment. Libraries are storehouses of knowledge and an example of the First Amendment at work. They are an American tradition. This holds true throughout our area, where the local branch of the county’s library system is serving the community even as you read this. This past week was a special one for libraries, too. Around the nation, National Library Week was observed throughout the country from April 10 to 16. Though some library facilities show their age, others are modern locations offering not only the row upon row of books one expects at a library, but virtually any type of multimedia and research tool one can imagine. More information than ever on
any subject imaginable is available for the asking, and right in your hometown. Libraries are no longer simply about books (though they can still be found by the thousands). Computer workstations are available for public use, putting the entire World Wide Web at your disposal. Hundreds of videos, CDs and other multimedia items are on hand not just for educational purposes, but for entertainment as well. Dozens of magazines and other periodicals are waiting to be read, and thousands of newspaper articles are archived using technology both old and new. And if something isn’t on hand, they can get it for you. Any item that isn’t on-site can be ordered through the library network. It is a state-of-the-art facility by any measure. There’s also a number of free community programs, everything ranging from reading groups to chess clubs to preschool story time programs to educational programs. Taking advantage of these great services is not only enjoyable, it won’t cost you a dime. Don’t miss out, check them out.

C ommentary Letters To The Editor
Libraries Catalyst For Change This week (April 10 to 16) the Ocean County Library joins libraries across the country in celebrating National Library Week, a time to remind the public about the contributions libraries make in their communities. The theme for this year’s National Librar y Week celebration is “Libraries Transform” and the Ocean County Library and its staff bring this theme to life everyday by finding ways to help people transform their lives. We circulated over 4.3 million items last year, but what is equally important is how the library can be a catalyst for change. Whether it be a homebound senior citizen to an at-risk youth, the library offers services that bring positive change and opportunities for everyone in the community. Our library system offers online career training classes, special programs for job seekers and we partner with local organizations to offer English as a second language and citizenship classes for the newest members of Ocean County. Our libraries are continually transforming to better serve the community. We offer modern services to our customers such as eBooks, digital magazines plus access to material at your convenience. We also offer the latest in technology such as 3D printers, circuit-building kits and computer programming—which inspires the great inventors of tomorrow. National Library Week
is the perfect time to visit your local library. On behalf of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the Ocean County Library Commission and our staff, we invite you to see firsthand how libraries can transform the communities they serve. Susan Quinn Ocean County Library Director
To Find Hope, Look Around You These are very unhappy times in Washington. Relations between the execut ive and legislat ive branches are not just sour, but cor rosive. The Republican-led Senate has declared it will simply ignore a presidential nomination to the Supreme Court. Both houses have announced that they will flout a tradition going back to the 1970s, and refuse to hold a hearing for the President’s budget director to present the White House’s federal budget proposal. Partisan paralysis and game-playing on Capitol Hill have become a hallmark of these times, as has the evident distaste our nation’s leaders feel for one another. It would be understandable to give in to despair, and a lot of Americans have done so. I have not, and for a simple reason: in our system there is always hope. Why? Because our representative democracy rests finally not on what politicians in Washington or in our state capitals do,

but on what our citizens do. The bedrock assumption of representative government is that Americans will make discr iminating judgments about politicians and policies, and shoulder their responsibility as citizens to improve their corner of the world. The remarkable thing is, they often do. Over a long career in politics, I’ve seen it happen more times than I can count. At some gathering, people will complain about the schools or the roads or the behavior of a public official or an act of government that galls them. Then, after talking it over, they decide to act. They do something about it. Even bet ter, t he less-than-admirable stumbling blocks that we’ve c ome t o ide nt i f y w it h politics — confrontation, obstructionism, divisiveness — are rarely present. Public dialogues may get heated, but they don’t often descend to the level of bitterness and obstinacy we see these days in Washington. More than anything else, what you see when ordinary Americans decide to get involved in a public issue is their common sense and good judgment, their fundamental decency and their remarkable sense of fairness. Over and over, as I watch citizens at work trying to fix their communities in ways big and small, I’ve found myself wishing that members of Congress and other officials could take a ringside seat. The people involved al most always wa nt to see that even people they don’t agree with have a chance to say their piece. They recognize there are differences of opinion and that they have to be sorted through. If you ask them to describe what result they want, they will always use the word, “fair.” They make decisions by and large based on hope, not fear or despair.
The sense that comes through when you watch A mer ica n s at work on public issues is their overwhelming desire to improve their community. Often this is reflected in concrete projects — a new bridge, a better school, a badly needed sewer system. But you can also see it in many people’s cry for candidates who will set narrow interests and excessive partisanship aside, and work to improve the quality of life for all Americans. While ordinary citizens may not know all there is to know about a given public policy issue, I was constantly impressed while in office at how much I learned from my constituents. We often think of representative government as a process in which the elected official educates constituents, but the reverse is usually even more the case. Americans may think that politics is filled with messiness and noise, but at the end of the day they understand the need for deal-making, compromise and negotiation — and that to achieve change, they have to work through the system we have, which means educating and pushing political leaders. As a constituent put it to me, “What’s the alternative?” This is why I have an underlying confidence in representative government. Americans are pragmatic. They recognize the complexity of the challenges we face, understand there are no simple answers to complex problems and do not expect to get everything they want. They see that what unites us — a common desire to improve our communities and create better opportunities for families and individuals — is stronger than what divides us. My confidence in the system is built on citizens exercising their right to make this a stronger, fairer country. Lee H. Hamilton Former U.S. Congressman

Spotlight On Government Coronato Updates Board Of Health On Heroin Problem
OCEA N COU N T Y – Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato, along with Assistant Prosecutor Anthony Pierro, provided an update to the members of the Ocean County Board of Health and staff members on Ocean County’s heroin problem, how his office is dealing with the issue and some innovative solutions to help address this problem. Coronato explained the strategic plan in tackling this issue includes educating the youth and everyone about the dangers of heroin
OCEA N COU N T Y – Noting the number of children diagnosed with autism continues to increase, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders is doing its part to raise awareness by recognizing April as Autism Awareness Month. “The statistics are compelling,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly. “We are joining the chorus
NEW JERSEY – The baseball season has begun, but despite the umpire’s traditional call to start a game, Comcast and the YES Network still refuse to play ball. In response, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders unanimously passed a resolution demanding that Comcast and the YES Network come to an immediate agreement and return Yankees games to the cable lineup. If a settlement isn’t reached, Ocean County Yankees fans will be limited to watching a handful of broadcast-channel and nationally televised games this season. “Baseball fans are caught in the middle and it’s well past time these two corporations sign a contract,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly.
and illicit drugs, enforcement issues, the use of Narcan and how Ocean County is working to get those who have overdosed and then reversed with Narcan into treatment, treatment options and moving forward, how we can break the cycle of addiction. Coronato added, “The impact of this drug issue cost the U.S. $193 billion last year. It is estimated that 25 million Americans have used or are currently using illicit drugs.” “As the leaders in the field of health, the board was
very appreciative of the presentation and welcomed the information from the prosecutor,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Board of Health. He added, “Today was an eye-opener for many and we look for ward to the Health Department’s continued collaboration with the Prosecutor’s Office.” Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) public health coordinator, said “We have a Health Education team that is in great demand in
our county school system and even provide programming to young children on making good choices and self-esteem. These are building blocks for our children as they move towards adolescence. In addition, other services include the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Unit, the Ocean County Municipal Alliance program, which addresses substance abuse prevention and the Intoxicated Driver Resource Center, which provides education and screening intervention to any county resident
convicted of an alcohol or drug related motor vehicle violation. ” He continued, “Our role with the drug crisis is to educate students, parents, teachers and the communit y about the dangers of drugs, how to say no and the entire plethora of prevention strategies that we can implement. To hear our prosecutor and Barnabas Health Recovery Coach, John Brogan, who also attended, discuss the numbers of people who are brought into the hospital on a daily basis, are
Freeholders Raise Awareness About Autism
of numerous agencies and organizations highlighting the importance of education and raising awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorder.” Autism Spectrum Disorder is a biologically-based disorder that impacts the development and functioning of a person’s verbal and non-verbal communication skills, social interactions and patterns of behavior.
Autism is estimated to affect 1 in 41 children in New Jersey, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The earlier a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder is identified and connected to services, the sooner services can be provided to ensure the child is able to reach their full potential. In addition to proclaiming the month of April as
Autism Awareness Month, county government employees participated in the “Light It Up Blue for Autism” campaign, wearing blue to raise awareness. Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari noted the importance of joining with the state’s Congressional delegation in calling for more and better screenings of young children as well as early intervention for those
children diagnosed with autism. “A report just issued by the Centers for Disease Control found that New Jersey’s autism rate in children has jumped 12 percent,” Vicari said. “Autism now impacts 1 in every 41 children born in New Jersey. “As a lifelong educator, I have seen the difference ea rly i nt e r vent ion ca n make,” Vicari said.
Freeholders Call On Comcast & YES Network To Play Ball
The resolution also called on Comcast to reimburse subscribers for each day of the YES Network Blackout. “Comcast claims the YES Network costs too much, yet have been paying for it all along. If they aren’t paying for it now they should pass that savings on to their customers,” said Kelly, who is also director of law and public safety. This is the second effort the Freeholders have made to return Yankees games to cable television. In early March, the Freeholders sent a letter to the state Board of Public Utilities asking it to intervene in the dispute. Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little said Comcast should at least offer the YES Network as part of an optional sports channel package. “Comcast claims Ocean
County fans aren’t interested in Yankees games,” he said. “They should let their customers decide whether or not they want to watch the games.” Little added that Comcast’s channel lineup is cluttered with many other stations that likely have much less appeal to local viewers. Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari said watching baseball and other sports is a quality of life issue, and is especially important to senior citizens. “I know many seniors who watch sports every night.” he said. “It’s entertainment that they should not be deprived of because of corporate greed.” Vicari said some towns have already begun petitions demanding the games return to cable television. According to published
reports, Comcast executives have argued that Yankees games are little watched among their customers and Ocean County is not in the core New York region, an excuse that Freeholder Virginia E. Haines took exception to.
“Ocean County is filled with Yankees fans,” she said. “After Toms River East won the 1998 Little League World Series, their players celebrated on the field in Yankee Stadium next to New York Yankees’ players.
frightening for everyone. To hear the heroin being sold is mixed with substances such as rat poison is disturbing. We were all impressed with not only how they are enforcing the law, but the compassion and dedication that our prosecutor has regarding this issue. Regenye added, “We encourage groups who are looking for educational sessions regarding substance abuse to call our office at 732-341-9700, ext. 7223.” Visit the Health Department at ochd.org.
He added a growing concern is the increasing number of senior citizens who are caring for their autistic adult children. “As Chairman of Senior Services for Ocean County, I’m calling on our leaders from all levels of government to join forces and find a solution to this challenge,” Vicari said. “The time to act is now. Together we can find a solution.”
I would say that makes this Yankees’ territory.” Haines called on Comcast and the YES Network to end the rhetoric and restore the broadcasts. “The only losers in all this are the fans,” she said.

Benefit Auction & Dinner
NEW INSIGHT INTO KERATOCONUS
“Keratoconus” is a progressive eye disease that causes the normally round cornea to weaken and begin to bulge into a cone-like shape. As a result, keratoconus sufferers experience visual distortions such as ghosting, multiple images, glare, halos, starbursts around lights, and blurred vision. While new treatment options for keratoconus have emerged over the past decade, many people are not diagnosed early enough to take full advantage of them. This led researchers to look at data from health insurance claims, half of which involved patients with keratoconus and half with similar symptoms. They found that men, African-Americans, and Latinos, as well as people with asthma, sleep apnea, or Down syndrome have much higher odds of developing keratoconus and should be screened. If you have any questions about keratoconus or would like further information, call us at 732-349-5622. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., we are educated, trained, and licensed total eye care includes performing comprehensive medical eye examinations, prescribing corrective lenses, diagnosing injuries and disorders of the eye, and using the appropriate medical and surgical procedures necessary for treatment.

My Ear Hurts! Comfort is very important when wearing your hearing aid(s). Discomfort occurs 10 percent of the time and usually happens when trying to remove your hearing instrument from your ear. In most cases, inthe-ear hearing aids (ITEs) and ear molds for behind-the-ear hearing aids (BTEs) can create a sore ear (usually towards the top of the aid or ear mold). When this happens, do not continue to wear the instrument. It’s not like breaking in a new pair of shoes! The next step is to contact your hearing health-care professional who can assess the problem. The majority of problems occur due to a “tight fit” and can be resolved by either grinding the mold/aid or remaking the entire hearing instrument or ear mold.
Most hearing healthcare professionals can eliminate the problem by grinding and then buffing the problem area. You will be advised to wear the hearing instrument to “test drive” the modification. If this is unsuccessful, you should return to the office and have the aid and/or ear mold remade by the manufacturer. Remind the audiologist/dispenser to mark the area of soreness with a black marker to further reduce the risk of soreness reoccurring. Remember, if your ear hurts don’t try to get used to it. You have invested a lot of time and money towards better hearing. Contact your hearing health-care professional immediately who will fix the problem.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.
Support Group To Start Meeting In May OCEAN COUNTY – Forever In Our Hearts is an Ocean County support group to help those whose life has been touched by a suicide to start and continue on a path toward healing. Losing someone to suicide is one of life’s cruelest tragedies. Forever In Our Hearts was founded to help those who find themselves in that forsaken place. Forever In Our Hearts is a public self-help support group built on a base of volunteers that conduct monthly meetings to offer support to those who are left behind. The co-founder, Walter Donovan said, “We are interdenominational by our leadership, yet nondenominational by our doctrine. We
welcome all who want the comfort, support and healing that the meetings can give, regardless of religious belief or lack thereof. This is not to say that we are not spiritual. We are a faith based organization because we believe that faith is our strongest healing medicine.” Meetings are held at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 130 Cable Ave, Beachwood on the second Saturday of each month at 1 p.m. The first meeting will be held on May 14. Visit the groups Facebook page for more information including updates to meeting times. Call 732-269-3236 if you have any questions about the meetings.

Over 40 percent of adult women experience low libido, and I think that’s underreported. It’s those “blue diamonds” that men want, meaning Viagra. But they don’t often stop and think, “Does my girl want to do this too?” I mean, it looks so mutual in the commercials doesn’t it? But ladies, what if you don’t feel frisky and your man is revved up on Viagra? Ask yourself, do you take any medications? These can be a factor in crushing Cupid. Drugs that treat hypertension and depression can squash libido in a women in about two weeks flat. Estrogen medications namely birth control pills, patches and shots can do it too. Ironic as it sounds, these drugs damage you by reducing otherwise healthy levels of testosterone, the hormone which ignites libido in both men and women. As a pharmacist, I saw this time and time again … a woman taking birth control for six months and then suddenly there’s no interest in sex, and worse, she has to start thyroid medicine and/or antidepressants. It’s from the “drug mugger” effect on testosterone, as well as minerals that support thyroid and mood. This is a known fact. Everything I just said could be applied to estrogen-containing medications (creams, pills and patches) that are used for menopause. And menopause itself can make sex uncomfortable due to vaginal dryness. Another factor is pregnancy and breastfeeding. The surge in hormones during this
time in life can fluctuate drastically. One minute you are laughing and happy, the next minute you are a puddle of a mess in tears and want to curl up with a magazine instead of your man. Here’s how you can get your va-vavavoom back: DHEA – Improving levels of “the fountain of youth” hormone can help with libido by increasing testosterone levels. A study confirms that DHEA supplementation in peri- and postmenopausal women improved sexual function. Yoga – Only in women 45 years and older, after 12 weeks of yoga, participants noted significant improvement in the areas of desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain. Ashwagandha – This thyroid-loving herb also increases DHEA, which goes on to amplify your testosterone levels. The aphrodisiac effect usually requires a dosage somewhere between 100 to 500 mg/day. Dark Chocolate – My friend literally hides her chocolate in the freezer and takes a few bites in between tucking her kids in bed and tucking her hubby in next. Chocolate stimulates more dopamine a.k.a. “the love chemical.” Researchers who studied female libido concluded that women who consumed more dark chocolate enjoyed greater sexual satisfaction than women who did not eat chocolate. Mmm. Ladies, I will think nothing of it if I bump into you in the chocolate aisle, wearing a big hat, sunglasses and a black trench coat.

Doctor, Can You Tell Me
Dear Joel, My wife is seeing a psychiatrist and I know that much of what she talks about is about me and our marriage. I’ve called her doctor because I believe that much of what she is telling the doctor is simply not true. I asked to meet with the psychiatrist and he told me that he will not speak with me. Is this legal? Answer: Although there may be certain exceptions, what he is telling you is absolutely true (and very legal). The conversations between your wife and her therapist are confidential and entirely between the two of them. If your wife is not being truthful with her doctor, it will eventual-
ly (hopefully) come out in their work. This is between her and the doctor and your intervening helps no one. I know how frustrating this is for you, but I commend her for seeking help. I’d suggest you support her going, rather than challenge her on whatever it is that she is telling him about. I wish you well. Questions for Joel? Write to preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com.

Injured At Work? Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensat ion clai ms. A n i nsu rer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the
employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization. Further, it is important to note another critical benefit of the Workers C o m p e n s a t io n Ac t . T h i s b e n ef it protects employees from collections lawsuits when the employee obtains me d ic a l t r e at me nt t h at h a s b e e n wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benef it was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Cour t in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case.

New Additions To Blueclaws Games
LAKEWOOD – A makeover of the FirstEnergy Park audio system, new concession items and the Chick-fil-A Fowl Poles highlight the upgrades and improvements fans will notice when they come to FirstEnergy Park this year. The audio upgrade, which has been completed, means that the public-address system, including music, announcements and more, will be much clearer for fans from any location in the ballpark. “This was an upgrade that we are very excited to make,” said BlueClaws General Manager Chris Tafrow. “I think the fans will immediately notice the difference as soon as they walk through the gates. It will certainly complement the new video board installed last year.” Prior to the 2015 season, the BlueClaws added a brand-new, state-of-the-art, 54’ x 37’ video board, which is more than four times the square-footage of the previous video board. One new food item that fans can enjoy is pork roll deep-fried in funnel cake batter
OCEAN COUNTY – Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity will be hosting an online silent auction to benefit the organization’s efforts. Bidding will go live at noon on April 21 and close at 6 p.m. on April 24. The public will have the opportunity to bid on items including a GoPro, Hot Air Balloon rides by Soaring Adventures, a QVC studio tour, foursomes of golf and many more items.
topped with chocolate syrup and whipped cream. “Pork Roll is a staple at the Jersey Shore and we wanted a new staple item for our fans,” said Mike Barry, the BlueClaws director of food and beverage. “We think this will be a great addition to the menu!” Fans can also enjoy thick-cut bacon dipped in chocolate then fried in funnel cake batter. Both the deep-fried bacon and pork roll are only available at the Funnel Cake Stand on the third base concourse. The BlueClaws added a pork roll, egg and cheeseburger last season - pork roll, eggs and a half-pound cheeseburger on a roll available on the concourse behind home plate. Crab cakes from Brandl’s of Belmar will now be available in the FirstEnergy Park concession stands. Charlie’s Pizza and Tuscan House will return to the Asbury Park Press Food Court down the right field line. Meatheads Subs will again have their truck on the first base concourse. The two ballpark foul poles are now “Fowl Poles,” thanks to Chick-fil-A. If any
BlueClaws player hits a home run off either of the two Fowl Poles, every fan in the ballpark will be able to bring their ticket to the Chickfil-A locations in Monmouth Mall, Freehold Raceway Mall, Brick or Howell for a free Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich. There is also a new Wednesday promotion presented by Appliance Brokers Limited. The promotion takes place at the five BlueClaws Wednesday night games - April 20, June 15, August 17, 24 and 31. If the BlueClaws hit a walk-off home run at any of those five games, one fan wins a $10,000 ABL shopping spree. There will be additional prizes throughout the night from various BlueClaws partners, and one fan will walk home with a high-end appliance courtesy of ABL and their five vendors - Whirlpool, Sub-Zero Wolf, Bosch, Samsung and Electrolux/Frigidaire. Additional prizes will come from on-field actions and a scoreboard prize wheel. Fans can now get single-game tickets to the new Diamond Deck on the Luxury Suite Level. Diamond Deck seats are exclusive stadium-style seats that overlook the field

from Suite Level adjacent to the Press Box. Seating each night in the Diamond Deck includes wait service, access to the Upstairs Club bar and a second-level panoramic view of the game. Multi-game and season ticket packages are also available. One on-field change that fans will notice is the removal of the “home run line” atop the chain-link fences above the padded outfield walls. In previous years, for a ball to be a home run, it would need to clear both the eight foot padded wall and four foot chain link fence. Beginning this year, any ball off the chain link fence is a home run, so a ball only needs to clear the eight foot padded wall. Tickets to all BlueClaws home games, as well as ticket packages and group outings, are currently on sale for the 2016 season.

Alzheimer’s Disease and Physical Therapy By Elise Pavlick, DPT
WHAT IS ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE? Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting one in eight Americans over the age of 65. Dementia is a general term for a variety of conditions that develop as a result of malfunctioning nerve cells in the brain. Research has shown that individuals with Alzheimer’s disease tend to develop abnormal structures in the brain, called plaques and tangles, that block communication between nerve cells in the brain and body. Plaques build up in the spaces in between nerve cells, and consist of a protein called beta-amyloid. Tangles are described as a collection of twisted fibers made from a different protein, called tau, that develop inside nerve cells rather than in between them. Because the nerve cells are unable to work properly, individuals can experience a variety of cognitive, behavioral, and physical symptoms. Alzheimer’s disease is progressive, meaning that is worsens over time, and although there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, medication and physical activity can be helpful in slowing its progression.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS? The most common symptom of early-stage Alzheimer’s disease is difficulty remembering newly learned information. As we age, it is common to experience occasional memory loss or slowed thinking; however, serious memory difficulties and confusion are signs that the brain is not working exactly as it should. As the disease progresses, individuals tend to experience mood and behavior changes, increased confusion about time and place, disorientation, and difficulty responding to the demands in their environment. Physical symptoms accompany cognitive changes, particularly muscle disuse, difficulty walking, negotiating turns and obstacles, and loss of balance.
HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP? The physical symptoms mentioned above ultimately increase an individual’s risk of falling, which can possibly lead to serious injury. Research has shown the importance of physical activity for overall well-being. During a physical therapy evaluation, a licensed physical therapist evaluates various components of the body in order to determine impairments that may be contributing to a patient’s symptoms. From there, an individualized exercise program is
created to meet the specific needs of each patient. A supervised exercise program, with the goal of increasing muscle strength and improving balance, will ultimately lead to improved safety awareness and decrease a patient’s fall risk. The following are important aspects that are addressed in each exercise program, as deemed appropriate by a physical therapist: - Strength and Flexibility As Alzheimer’s disease progresses, individuals tend to become more sedentary, which leads to muscles becoming weak and tight. This is predominantly true for the muscles of the hips and legs. The lower extremity muscles are very important for standing and walking, so as they become weak, it becomes particularly difficult to perform daily tasks and ambulate, or walk around. Physical therapy can help break this cycle by developing a safe strengthening and flexibility program to improve muscle performance. As an individual’s strength starts to improve, exercises may be altered or advanced to further maximize strength gains. - Gait Training In addition to developing an exercise program, a physical therapist will evaluate and determine the most appropriate assistive device for each patient in order to provide safe ambulation. The most common assistive devices are rolling walkers, single point canes, and quad canes. The physical therapist will educate and train the patient on how to correctly use his/her assistive device during ambulation. If unsafe ambulation is identified during the initial evaluation, subsequent treatment sessions will consist of gait training, in order to maximize safety awareness. As quality of gait improves, the patient will be challenged to negotiate obstacles and ambulate on various surfaces, in order to simulate real life situations. Continued practice will eventually lead to improved safety awareness during community ambulation and while performing daily tasks. - Balance Along with safe ambulation, balance is by far one of the most important aspects of minimizing an individual’s fall risk. Balance can be divided into two components: static and dynamic. Static balance refers to an individual’s ability to maintain balance while in a still position, whether that be while seated or standing. Dynamic balance refers to maintaining balance while moving. Both static and dynamic balance are addressed during physical therapy by
simulating tasks that individual’s experience in their daily lives. These tasks include reaching, stepping onto and off of various pliable surfaces, and negotiating obstacles while walking. This is a great opportunity to not only challenge balance, but also memory, as the patient will need to follow directions and remember multi-step commands. By challenging balance in various ways, the body is better able to adapt and learn how to respond safely and appropriately during real life situations.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU FINISH PHYSICAL THERAPY? All of the factors addressed during physical therapy work together to improve overall function and safety. Once an individual has achieved his/her goals and is ready to be discharged, the physical therapist will provide the patient with a home exercise program so that the gains made during physical therapy can be maintained. Physical therapy can provide the tools for success, however it is up to the individual to use the information he/she has learned to continue to maximize safety and functional mobility!

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. Your financial outlook may seem to be on the upswing but you still cannot afford to be wasteful. Study your options carefully in the week ahead and reevaluate existing investments. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Rock the romance. In the upcoming week you may be more outgoing about expressing your affection. You may be preoccupied by fancies and fantasies and miss the facts when your wallet is concerned. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can swim with the dolphins or fly with the eagles. Don’t let family members or a situation at home limit your freedom during the week to come. Wishful thinking is only worthwhile when wishes come true. CANCER (June 21-July 22): This week you will find that the pen is truly mightier than the sword. You’ll find the words that will help you get your way with ease. You can talk your way through any situation. Friends may add fuel to your fire. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Use a magnifying glass to read the fine print. You could achieve a higher level of intimacy with a loved one during the week ahead, but your tendency to see what you want to see could cause you to lose money. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Speak your mind. Tell everybody exactly how you feel. During the week to come, when pressed for an opinion, don’t be concerned with sparing someone’s feelings; give your complete and honest view of a situation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sail the salty seas of imagination. Throw caution to the
wind and explore your adventurous side in the week ahead. Vision and enthusiasm can lead to great ideas and could yield vast benefits for your future. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The little things mean a lot. You may win recognition this week if you go out of your way to be kind to someone. You’ll help someone far more by telling them the truth rather than letting build up with false hopes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take your medicine. Sometimes it isn’t whether you receive a winning hand but if you can play a bad hand well. Make it your business to accept your lessons with good grace during the week to come. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t be so practical that you forget to be pertinent. Be generous with those around you this week. Generosity isn’t always about money. A kind word, a pat on the back or a smile works. A positive attitude is contagious. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t shake the tree unless you can predict what will fall out. You may have an urge to shake things up this week by trying something different or making a drastic change. Explain your reasoning to loved ones. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Communication is the key to success. Engage in stimulating conversations to gain insights and intimate details that will bring you closer to a valuable goal. Keep your promises and charm your way to the top this week. (c) 2016 TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.

Wolfgang Puc
Simplicity Is The Key To Cooking A World-Famous Pasta Dish By Wolfgang Puck
It always delights me how some of the world’s greatest recipes are also the simplest. Start with just a few high-quality ingredients, cook them in a way that highlights their natural qualities and serve them with just a little imagination, and it’s very possible that the result will be something that everyone finds amazing. Take, for example, the widely loved pasta dish fettuccine Alfredo. The dish has been around, at least in name, for over a hundred years. It was originally invented by a Roman restaurateur named Alfredo di Lelio for a place his mother owned; and he then went on to open his own ristorante Alfredo in 1914. Word spread of the amazing dish, and soon the popular recipe spread to other restaurants, too, as more and more people tasted it and talked about it. Yet, such a fundamental pasta dish couldn’t have come about spontaneously like that. In fact, you can find the recipe’s humbler ancestry stretching back hundreds of years to dishes of pasta tossed with butter or cream and Parmesan. Many people, myself included, sometimes like to make themselves quick pasta dishes just that way, tossing the hot cooked noodles with butter and then adding lots of freshly grated cheese. The Alfredo version simply amps up the richness. When you’re preparing something with so few ingredients, it’s important to pay attention to the small details. That starts with the ingredients themselves. Though many people say the recipe is best with fresh pasta, I think too many people overcook fresh noodles, so I recommend using dried pasta instead. Beyond that, timing is also impor tant. Have the cream heated and ready when you boil the pasta. Quickly whisk the beaten egg yolks, which helps thicken the sauce, into the hot cream so they won’t curdle; then add the pasta as soon as it’s drained, tossing the noodles continuously to keep them separate and coat them all. I also make sure to reserve some of the cooking water when I drain the pasta, having it ready to stir in if the sauce gets too thick. Some fresh herbs - plus extra Parmesan, of course - are all the garnish you need. And there you have it! A handful of
ingredients, no more than about 15 minutes of cooking time and a dish everyone you serve it to will rave about. Great cooking just doesn’t get any easier. FETTUCCINE ALFREDO Serves 4 2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream Kosher salt 3/4 pound (380 g) dried fettuccine Freshly ground black pepper 4 large cage-free egg yolks, lightly beaten 3/4 cup (185 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving chopped fresh chives, for garnish chopped fresh Italian parsley, for garnish Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. When the water is coming to a boil, put the cream in a large saute pan. Bring the cream to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wire whisk. Reduce the heat to its lowest setting. As soon as the water comes to a full rolling boil, add some salt. Add the dried fettuccine to the boiling water and cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time. With a heatproof glass measu r ing cup, caref ully scoop up and reserve some of the cooking water. Drain the pasta in a colander and bring it close to the pan of cream. Turn off the heat under the cream and season generously with freshly ground black pepper and a little salt. While whisking constantly, add the beaten egg yolks. Immediately add the drained fettuccine, still dripping, and the 3/4 cup (185 mL) grated Parmesan. With tongs, gently turn the pasta until the sauce thickens and coats all the strands, 30 seconds to 1 minute. If the sauce seems to be getting too thick too quickly, stir in some of the reserved cooking water. Stir in a little more Parmesan and black pepper to taste. Serve the pasta as soon as it is coated with the sauce. Using a long two-pronged fork or tongs, twirl up portions of the fettuccine and arrange them on heated serving plates. Top with f reshly g rated Parmesan, then garnish with chives and parsley. Serve immediately.
