Allen Road Beach Slated For Repairs, Replenishment

–Photos by Catherine Galioto Current conditions at Allen Road Beach show erosion from Superstorm Sandy. The township hopes to complete a $215,000 project for beach replenishment and boardwalk repairs, among other upgrades.

By Catherine Galioto BERKELEY – A mainland, bayfront beach that saw Superstorm Sandy damage should be replenished and its boardwalk repaired in a project that is estimated at about $215,000.

The township council authorized going out to bid for the Allen Road Beach project. Currently, the beach size is substantially less than what it was before Sandy, and an aging boardwalk there will be repaired.

Township Engineer Alan Dittenhofer said the township had the project funded in its 2013

budget, but priorities being what they were in the year after the (Repairs - See Page 4)

Berkeley’s Credit Rating Affirmed

By Catherine Galioto BERKELEY – The township council meeting included congratulations to administrators, who pat themselves on the back for the announcement that Standard and Poor’s had affirmed its credit rating.

The township was affirmed with an A+ credit rating, which impacts its ability to borrow and receive favorable rates, as part of its township finances, officials said.

“Really in a time when other towns are being downgraded in their bond rating, we are bucking that trend,” said Business Administrator John Camera at the May 16 council meeting. “That’s a testament to the administration and the work of Fred Ebenau.” Ebenau is the chief financial officer for Berkeley.

Mayor Carmen Amato, in a prepared statement, said the A+ rating is a significant increase over six years ago.

“Once again we are extremely pleased that S&P has recognized the extreme effort we have made to be financially responsive to our taxpayers despite these difficult economic times.” Amato said.

In 2015, the Township’s Bond Rating moved up two notches to an A+ rating, which is a significant increase.

In 2009, the bond rating for the Township had been assigned a rating of A, this was lowered in 2011 one notch to A-, Amato said.

Amato rattled off the rationale behind the rating: Adequate management, with “standard” financial policies and practices; adequate (Credit - See Page 22)

Memorial Day Events To Include Parades, Ceremonies OCEAN COUNTY – The holiday was once known as “Decoration Day,” a day dedicated to honoring the war dead of WWI, to decorate the graves. Now known as Memorial Day, the national holiday is a day of patriotism, spent with ceremonies and parades remembering those servicemen and women who died in conflicts throughout the ages.

This year, many well-attended Memorial Day weekend events return with veterans groups, local officials and more taking the time to remember all who died in service to

their country. Here are some of the events. For a complete calendar visit micromediapubs.com.

May 27 Manahawkin – Southern Regional High School will hold its Field of Flags ceremony, with a flag representing each service person who died in Iraq and Afghanistan.

As of presstime, the flags numbered 6,848. The flags will be placed on May 26. Southern’s Air Force Junior ROTC cadets will be placing the flags throughout the

day. On May 27, at 10:30 a.m., a Memorial Day Service on the site is open to all. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held in the auditorium. There will be a more than 100 students participating in the choir, orchestra and student readings. The flags will remain in place through the holiday weekend. For more information on this project, contact Senior Master Sgt. Mark Irvin at mirvin@srsd.net.

storm, it took some time to progress through the design and permit phases of the project.

Now, the township is ready to award a bid for the work itself. Work includes the beach replenishment, boardwalk repairs, landscaping and lighting. Currently, the beach’s wooden boardwalk is open as a sort of nature trail with benches, snaking between the dune plants there, railings on each side, with walkers turning around and heading back to the small parking lot that accesses the boardwalk. It’s at the end of Allen Road, in the Berkeley Shores section, meeting Barnegat Bay. “It’s essentially putting more sand on the beach. It was eroded by Sandy,” Dittenhofer said after the May 16 council meeting.

Allen Road Beach was about 20-feet wide at one point, and decades ago once housed bayfront swimming pools of the Berkeley Shores Homeowners Association near a storied clubhouse that is long demolished.

Now, the 2011 dune grass planting at the beach by volunteers of the association shows how much the beach has eroded from Sandy, said the engineer.

Dittenhofer said about $20,000 of FEMA grant money is also funding the Allen Road Project.

Butler Beach Bulkhead And Crabbing In another engineering project, Butler Beach would see bulkheading work and a crabbing dock, along with parking lot improvements.

Dittenhofer said that project, at the beach

at the end of Butler Boulevard, would cost around $300,000. The council agreed to seek bids for that work at its May 16 meeting too.

Safety fence is in place at the waterfront now, as the beach shrunk after winter storms. The engineer said beach replenishment and bulkheading is planned. The beach is also home to a new playground, built by charity last summer, its first upgrade since Sandy.

“Parking lot improvements would include some new gravel, some paving,” Dittenhofer said. “Basically improve the whole street.”

The groin of rocks at the beachfront will be retrofitted, built into a small crabbing dock, he said.

Councilman Jim Byrnes and a South Seaside Park resident spoke on the pair of projects, inquiring about the permits needed from the state Department of Environmental Protection. Dittenhofer said that the projects were also for shoreline protection, not just recreation.

“The permits have been filed but we have yet to receive them. Funding is in place,” said the engineer. “We wanted to speed up the process, and we anticipate receiving the permits in the time we are soliciting bids.”

That could be the end of June or early July, he said.

“Do you foresee pushback from the DEP?” Byrnes asked. Dittenhofer said not with the Butler Boulevard project but “potentially with Allen Road beach, there’s been push back from the DEP, but my argument is this is Sandy damage. Hopefully they will be more agreeable.”

Brush With Kindness Volunteers Help Rehab Berkeley Home

Featured Letter Utilities Board’s Confusing Trends Third-party energy suppliers for private homes, energy aggregation and subsidies for companies producing solar panels are all part of programs promoted by the NJ Board of Public Utilities.

According to the BPU these steps will ultimately result in lower costs and cleaner air. However the NJ BPU is at the same time approving networks of pipeline that will increase the supply of natural gas. Natural gas, like coal and crude oil is a fossil fuel that is becoming more costly both financially and environmentally. The NJ rate payer will pay the cost of building the pipelines despite protests by many and questions regarding the eventual market and who will benefit from this expansion.

The BPU has not yet produced a comprehensive plan that identifies the research on which they base their approval and promotion of these activities.

The NJ Board of Public Utilities began promoting the use of third-party energy suppliers by municipalities to enable these companies to have a larger market.

To reach this goal, elected officials from several mu-

nicipalities need to work together to provide more people and replace the individual approach by the third party energy company.

Private individuals, but not the township itself, will automatically be enrolled, with provisions to opt out.

By forcing individuals to opt out and promoting the theory of saving money may well produce a passive acceptance on the part of many. Local officials will engage consultants who will determine and select the best supplier. JCP&L will continue to be the conduit to get power to each home; that will not change.

The fees for all this will be embedded in the monthly bill from JCP&L and these fees will exist forever. As supplier’s costs increase, so will the fees associated with this plan. It is difficult to understand how all of this can be carried out without some involvement of paid pubic employees but that is not factored in. After the introductory savings to get this started, the additional layers of fees will eventually cost more than if we left this on a private basis.

So why is this being done?

Letters To The Editor The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission is at it again, digging into the motorists pockets!

The latest move is to send certain vehicles to private inspection owners. Projected cost to these vehicle owners is $40, $50, $60 and up. Why? The supposed answer: long waiting lines at current inspection stations. The question of who caused this: was it the DMV shutting down stations across the state?

Will the DMV reimburse the drivers?

For the short-minded N.J. driver that can’t remember, the annual auto registration fees were increased to cover inspection costs. If the N.J. drivers don’t rebel against this move, we will all be next to feel the across-theboard increase!

The solution is simple – fire the DMV, do away with state inspections and only operate license renewals/ registrations and driver testing facilities.

We Are Worse Off President Obama has done a great job at many things.

Let’s start with the most obvious.

Congressional Budget Office predicts upwards of a final total of $20 trillion of debt when Obama leaves office. That is more debt run up by Obama then every President before him combined.

More Social Welfare pro-

gram recipients, more legal citizens not paying taxes to fund these programs.

The Obamacare mess that has provided more people with the taxpayers’ dollars in the name of universal healthcare. The healthcare provided is a complete sham that is being glorified by the skewed numbers from this administration.

The liberal progressive left wing has control of the urban sections in this nation.

How is that working out?

Violence and murders, poverty and welfare, homeless, broken families and decay.

That about sums up the urban areas in this nation.

President Obama is nothing more than a winner in the “Worst President Contest.”

Who would have thought even President Carter would be looked at historically as better then Obama.

We have had eight years of government intrusion in our lives. President Obama found more time to play golf and vacation like no other president before. President Obama concerned himself with the personal lives of others more than any other president before. While doing so, the more important issues like foreign policy and border security and the economy have greatly suffered.

Statistics do not lie. They don’t see sides when properly kept. And finally, yes, we are worse off when it comes to division within this nation then before Obama took office. That is truly the fault of the liberal progressive left wanting to

Government is not the answer to all problems. In fact government maybe the root of the problems. We need less government control and more true freedom to be self-reliant as a people.

Let’s hope we can clear the Obama mess up in the next administration.

Recent Studies Point To Meat-Free Diet With the 47th annual observance of Earth Day recently, this is a great time to explore more effective ways of slowing climate change and conser ving Earth’s natural resources for future generations.

A 2010 UN report charged animal agriculture with 19 percent of man-made greenhouse gases – more than all transport – and recommended a global shift to a vegan diet. A subsequent World Watch study placed that contribution closer to 50 percent. Meat and dairy production also du mps more water pollutants than all other human activities combined. It is the driving force in global deforestation and wildlife habitat destruction.

Last fall, England’s prestigious Chatham House declared that reducing meat consumption is critical to achieving global climate goals. A report from Oxford University found that global adoption of a vegan diet would reduce greenhouse emissions by two thirds. The 2015 U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has recommended reduced meat

consumption and an environmentally sustainable diet.

Just as we replace fossil fuels by wind, solar, and other sustainable energy sources, we must replace animal foods with the more sustainable vegetables, fruits, and grains. Being mindful of this can help us make better choices at the supermarket.

Freeheld Legacy I recently saw Ocean County Freeholder Jack Kelly. I didn’t see Jack in person, but in a trailer for a Hollywood movie.

The movie was called “Freeheld ,” a nd it was about Jack Kelly and other Republican Ocean County Freeholders who opposed giving sur vivor’s benefits to the lesbian partner of dying Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Police Lieutenant Laurel Hester.

The drunken antics of M T V’s “Jer sey Shore” provided a much more positive portrayal of Ocean County than the homophobic behavior of Freeholder Jack Kelly, now memorialized in “Freeheld.”

Jack Kelly is a true embarrassment and entirely unfit to serve on the New Jersey State Parole that must review the cases of LGBT inmates, as well as grapple with the effects of bias cr imes in their decisions.

Governor Chris Christie must not be thinking st raight in consider ing Kelly. Maybe Jack Kelly could find a new career as a bathroom monitor in North Carolina?

What’s Happening In Berkeley Township –By Berkeley Mayor Carmen F. Amato, Jr.

Upcoming Events And News For Berkeley

BERKELEY – Memorial Day, which falls on the last Monday of May, honors the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the American military.

Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day because it was a time set aside to honor the nation’s Civil War dead by “decorating their graves.” In Berkeley there are a few such events to honor our fallen.

On Saturday May 21, the Holiday City at Berkeley First Aid Squad will be hosting its Armed Forces & Memorial Day Ceremony. The ceremony will be held at the squad headquarters.

On Sunday May 29, the Berkeley Shores Homeowners’ and Civic Association will be having its Annual Me-

morial Day Commemoration and Blessing of the Fleet at noon near the Amherst inlet.

Also on Sunday May 29, the Silver / Holiday VFW Post 10185 will hold its Memorial Day Ceremony at the Silver Ridge Park West Clubhouse at 1 p.m.

And lastly, on Monday May 30, the Bayville VFW Post 9503 will be conducting its annual Memorial Day Ceremony at 11 a.m. in the Grove behind the VFW Post on Veterans Blvd. in Bayville.

As Mayor, I have participated in all of these memorial services. They are well organized and provide a very moving tribute to our fallen service men and women. All of these events are open to the public, and I encourage you to attend. We must never forget them or their families for the sacrifice they have made to make our country the greatest Democracy in the world.

So as we gather with friends

and family to celebrate the unofficial start of summer at barbecues and picnics, or run to the nearest department store to take advantage of those sales, please take a moment this weekend to honor our fallen men and women of the armed forces. May god bless them and their families.

Please have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day. Recycling Generates $15,302 In Revenue For Berkeley Township I’m pleased to report during the six month period between July 1 and December 31, 2015, Berkeley Township collected 2,372 tons of recyclables as part of our Recycling Revenue Sharing program with Ocean County. The payout per ton for this period was $6.45. Berkeley Township received as its share, $15,302.

Out of the 33 towns in Ocean County, Berkeley Township was the sixth highest in reve-

DWI Checkpoint Program Continues

OCEAN COUNTY – With the start of the busy summer travel and Prom season looming, Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato announced the continuation of the annual countywide DWI checkpoint program.

The program consists of staging numerous checkpoints throughout Ocean County.

The program’s design creates a force multiplier by regionalizing and supplementing local DWI enforcement. The program will also conduct DWI enforcement patrols throughout the county. In making his announcement, Prosecutor Coronato reminded drivers that an extra measure of caution and not operating under the influence can prevent tragedy.

Prosecutor Coronato stated, “The tremendous added volume of summer shore traffic and all our area High Schools hosting Senior Proms calls for increased vigilance by law enforcement, and that will be

the focus over the coming months to keep motorists safe.

We ask that drivers do their part by driving responsibly and making smart choices behind the wheel every day of the year.”

While inattentive and aggressive drivers are always targets of law enforcements’ regular patrols, the purpose of these efforts is to detect, educate, deter, arrest and vigorously prosecute impaired drivers. The program targets those under the influence of alcohol, but in response to Ocean County’s drug crisis, also utilizes an addition of two Drug Recognition Experts at each check point to detect those under the influence of narcotics. The county also oversees a county wide call out system for DRE’s to respond and assist agencies in conducting evaluations of subjects suspected to be operating a motor vehicle under the influence of narcotics.

Each year impaired drivers

are responsible for about a third of the deaths occurring on Ocean County roadways.

Last year, Ocean County had 38 fatalities on its roadways.

Though the county has moved from second highest in the state for fatalities from a year ago, to now ranking fifth out of the 21 counties, there is no cause for celebration. Even one fatality is too many.

The checkpoint program, which is funded in part by the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety, will be conducted by local police agencies in conjunction with detectives from the Prosecutor’s Office and Sheriff’s Department K-9 Unit focusing on both intoxicated and drug impaired drivers. The program is coordinated by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Vehicular Homicide Unit under the direction of Supervising Assistant Prosecutor Michael Weatherstone.

nue generated.

The 2,372 tons of recycling is up 25 percent from the same time frame just two years ago.

I know as a community we can do better. As a reminder, we converted to single stream recycling a few years ago.

This means that bottles, cans, newspaper, mixed paper and cardboard all go in the same container.

Acceptable bottles: Plastic containers where the neck is smaller than the base of the container i.e. beverage, shampoo, laundry detergent, milk jugs, condiments. Cans: aluminum, steel, tin and empty aerosol cans. Paper: newspapers, mixed papers, corrugated cardboard.

Keep in mind for every ton we recycle, we save $81 in tipping fees at the landfill. In return we receive 50 percent of the profits from the county in recycling revenue.

Let’s all “pitch in” and do our part to recycle, reduce land fill costs and generate additional revenue.

2016 Farmers Market Returns I’m pleased to announce

the return of the Summer Farmers Market. This year the market will have a new location, new vendors and new time. The new location will be the Berkeley Township Recreation Center located at 630 Route 9, in Bayville. The market will be every Tuesday and will run to October. The market times are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The farmers market can only be successful if we support it.

Stokes Celebration A Success DETACHED FROM REALITY

While serious problems such as retinal detachment (separation of the retina from its connection at the back of the eye) can occur suddenly and require immediate care, most people are unaware of its symptoms. As a result, they may not get the treatment needed to stave off permanent vision impairment and even blindness. When researchers surveyed a relatively small sample of patients to test their knowledge about eye diseases, they found that very few were aware of the symptoms or treatment of retinal detachment, acute angle-closure glaucoma, giant cell arteritis, or central retinal artery occlusion. These four diseases can cause permanent vision loss if not treated quickly and appropriately. The diseases have the potential to alter lives.

At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., our philosophy is to provide cost-efficient eye care to all of our patients in a compassionate and friendly manner. We offer treatment in all areas of eye care, such as retinal detachment. We pride ourselves on our specialty training and keeping up to date on the changes in medical care.

BERKELEY – The Berkeley Township Education Association’s “50 Years of Stokes” Celebration featured the years of alumni of a beloved program with a variety of well-attended activities.

More than 200 people were involved in the festivities, which went on for two days.

The first night’s festivities began with a video that took viewers on a trip down memory lane. After a spaghetti dinner, attendees visited a museum of history and

participated in an animal show or square dance.

On the second day, there were a variety of activities held at Berkeley Township Elementary School and the Berkeley Township Nature Study Building, including archery, nature and bird walks, water quality activities and animal presentations.

Stokes alumni, local families, students, current and former staff all participated in these events.

Clambake For A Cause BAYVILLE – Oceancares Foundation Clambake For A Cause will take place on July 23 from 6 to 10 p.m. at The Cove, 905 Bay Blvd. This event is intended for those 21 and over.

Peto Biennial Exhibit Now Open

ISLAND HEIGHTS – This year’s Peto Biennial: International Juried Art Exhibition of Contemporary Still Life and Trompe l’Oeil at the John F. Peto Studio Museum brings together nearly 70 original two-dimensional and three-dimensional works by notable living artists from across the United States and as far away as Belgium, Greece and Romania.

This exhibition and competition celebrates the legacy of John Frederick Peto (18541907), the renowned 19th century American still life artist and master of trompe l’oeil (French for ‘fool the eye”) painting.

All of the artwork presented in the show was selected by American art scholar, Dr. Thomas Folk of New York University. Folk served as the primary judge, evaluating each of the almost 200 entries of contemporary paintings and sculptures submitted to the competition.

The winning entries to the Peto Biennial are as follows: first place artist is K. Henderson with the painting “The Case of the Sulky Girl,” second place artist is David Furman with the sculpture “Still Life with Exacto Knife” and third place artist is Dennis Crayon with the painting “Diver.”

In addition, a special recognition honor by American tromp l’oeil master, Gary T. Erbe, was awarded to the artist Samuel Hung for his oil on canvas painting “Prince Albert & Spilled Gumballs.” All of these winning pieces are included in the 2016 Peto Biennial: International Juried Art Exhibition of Contemporary Still Life and Trompe l’Oeil, which is on public view through September 4.

The exhibition is made possible with generous support from The Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation, Peter R. and Cynthia K. Kellogg Foundation, Richard A. Askoff, With Heartfelt Support of Garret Peto Ferguson, Gary T. Erbe, E. Steven and Bernadette Doyle, Eve E. Allison, and the Walmart Foundation.

The museum is open from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. It is open daily by appointment for group and public tours from Monday to Friday. Admission for adults is $10, for children 12 and younger it is $5 and for members admission is free. Special exhibitions are always free with general admission.

Island Singers’ Spring Concert Schedule

LANOKA HARBOR – Ocean County audiences have been enjoying the music of The Island Singers Community Chorus for more than 40 years. The four-part choral group has been under the guidance of Director Polly Moore for much of that time.

Membership fluctuates depending on the season. Typically there are a few more people on the role during the spring than for the holiday concert in December. Approximately 40 men and women are singing with the group now. Many singers return every year and have been singing with Moore for over 20 years. They come from all walks of life and are of all ages. Some folks have vocal experience and want to continue performing, but most members simply enjoy singing and want to be part of a choral group. Anyone with a pleasant voice and a desire to learn the music is welcome to join.

Rehearsals are held every Tuesday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. at Village Lutheran Church, 701 Western Blvd.

The Spring Concert always features an eclectic blend of familiar standards and traditional favorites. This spring the chorus is planning a water-themed concert, and they are currently searching through their files for songs reflecting this theme.

Concerts are free and held in local libraries, museums and other venues. The chorus also makes several pro-bono appearances in hospitals, nursing homes and rehab centers. The following is the Spring Concert schedule: June 4 at 2:30 p.m.: Point Pleasant branch Library, 834 Beaver Dam Road, Point

July 9 at 8 p.m.: Long Beach Island Museum, Engleside and Beach Avenues, Beach Haven.

Students from the Ocean County College American Sign Language Interpreter Training Program will be signing the music during the concert. Since this season’s theme is about water the program features familiar tunes like “April Showers,” “Deep River,” “Sittin On The Dock Of The Bay” and several popular Broadway tunes, “Ol’man River,” “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out Of My Hair,” “Soon It’s Gonna Rain,” and “River Song.” The group is also singing one of their favorites, “Away From The Roll Of The Sea” and “From Sea To Shining Sea,” based on the patriotic song, “America The Beautiful.” Two new songs, “Song For The Mira” and “The Seal Lullaby” will be performed as well.

The Island Singers is a non-profit organization and receives some government funding.

Membership dues are collected at the beginning of each season to help offset salary costs for the director, accompanist and purchase of new music. Occasional fundraisers also help defray the group’s operational costs.

New members always welcome. No auditions necessary. For more information, visit islandsingersnj.com or contact Polly Moore at 732-341-8565.

May Is National Osteoporosis Month

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health, said, “Osteoporosis and the broken bones it can cause are not part of normal aging.

There is a lot you can do to protect your bones throughout your life. You’re never too young or too old to improve the health of your bones. Osteoporosis prevention should begin in childhood. But it shouldn’t stop there. Whatever your age, the habits you adopt now can affect your bone health for the rest of your life. Now is the time to take action as we recognize May as National Osteoporosis Month.”

There are two types of exercises that are important for building and maintaining bone density: weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises. Learn about each type of exercise and how to incorporate both into exercise routines. The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) offers these five tips to “Break Free from Osteoporosis:” 1. Get to know the risk factors: Many factors play a role in a person’s risk for osteoporosis, including age, gender, lifestyle, medical history, family history and whether they take any medication or have medical conditions that can lead to bone loss.

2. Get active: Doing regular weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercise is one of the best ways to protect oneself against osteoporosis and broken bones.

3. Eat Your Way to Healthy Bones: Calcium, vitamin D, lean protein, fruits, vegetables and healthy fats are the key to eating for healthy bones.

4. Ask a healthcare provider when to get a bone density test: The painless, ten minute test will help predict someone’s risk of breaking a bone.

5. Don’t smoke and don’t drink too much alcohol: No more than two drinks a day is best for bone health.

To learn more about the Break Free from Osteoporosis campaign and how to build and maintain strong bones for life, visit the NOF at nof.org.

The Ocean County Health Department’s Live Healthy Ocean County offers osteoporosis screenings and other screenings at several sites per month. Visit the Health

Unde r st a nd i ng you r i n s u r a nc e benefits can be confusing and time consuming. What’s more, many insurance companies and benefit programs reduce or eliminate your choices the moment they’ve activated your referral to a hearing care provider – a provider that they often select for you. In some circumstances, Medicare does offer limited coverage for the cost of hearing aids, but only if the hearing loss is related to an injury or a disease. Audiologic (hearing) testing are typically covered by Medicare, but only if the exam is recommended by your doctor.

This means you must have a written “script” requesting the necessity for the hearing care services.

Do you have a hearing aid benefit?

Do you fully understand it? Do you understand what your insurance policy’s “discount program” really means, and what services are or aren’t covered?

You deserve to retain control over your hearing health care- in your choice of provider, your hearing technology, and your program of follow-up care.

There are some insurance programs that want you to fax a copy of your hearing test to them. Then, they will pick out a hearing aid for you (based

on a very limited selection) and send the hearing instrument to you via mail.

Who is qualif ied to program your hearing aid? Who will instruct you on the proper care and maintenance of the hearing aid? Who will do routine follow-up care?

If you have a hearing benefit as part of your insurance plan, we recommend that you - contact us BEFORE you contact your insurance company! Our experts can help you take full advantage of your hearing insurance benefits to help you hear your best. Garden State Hearing & Balance Center will be happy to assist you in determining your benefit and will directly bill you insurance company for payment. We participate with most insurance carriers and benefit programs.

We are committed to working directly with you and your insurance company to determine how you are covered, and to make sure that you are getting the most out of your current benefits.

Here’s To Your Health Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Cooking Oils Are Not All Good For You

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Do you whip up delicious meals without measuring a single thing? The oil you use in your kitchen can make or break your dish. Did you know that some oils are harmful?

Did you k now that f r ied ch icken or French fries often use “hydrogenated” oils, which increase your risk of diabetes, heart attack, obesity and cancer? Some “partially hydrogenated” oils are even derived from soybean oil, discussed below.

What’s in your kitchen?

Good oils that are high in Monounsaturated fats: Olive oil – Excellent source of antioxidants, polyphenols and essential fatty acids. It supports cardiovascular health and blood pressure.

Coconut oil – I’m referring to the unheated, unref ined, virgin coconut oil, which is healthy raw, or baked; don’t use super high heat. Please avoid “hydrogenated coconut oil,” this is man-made and contains trans fats.

Almond – A source of natural vitamin E, it has even less saturated fat than olive oil. Almond contains monounsaturated fat (like olive oil). Almond oil goes rancid easily, so store it in a dark cabinet.

Good oils that are High in Omega 3 fatty acids: Hemp – This unrefined oil has a good amount of Gamma Linolenic acid (GLA), which is considered a healthy omega 6 that may relieve PMS and skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

Flax – A fragile oil that shouldn’t be heated. It’s good to make salad dressings with. Refrigerate the oil. Too much may be goit rogen ic (suppress iod i ne absor ption) so avoid consu ming high

dose supplements for extended periods of time. A little oil on your salad should be fine though.

Tea seed – This is one of my favorite oils because you can use it at high temperatures, the f lavor is mild and it contains antioxidants like vitamin E. It has both omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Do not confuse tea seed oil with the essential oil of “tea tree,” which cannot be ingested.

Bad oils that are high in Saturated fats or Trans Fats: Canola or Rapeseed – Some of you think this is a “healthy” oil because it’s very low in saturated fat and like olive oil, it’s high in monounsaturated fat. However, hexane is used as a chemical solvent to extract canola oil from the seeds, and pesticides are sometimes used. Bleaching too. It’s used for baking or stir-fry.

Margarine – This is a man-made chemical, do I need to say anything else?

Bad oils that are high in Omega 6, which can increase inf lammation: Corn – It’s hard to find a non GMO version of this, unless it specifically says “organic” and plus, it may be bleached.

Cor n oil increases “oxidized” or bad cholesterol. Cooks (not me) recommend it for high heat.

Soybean – This is another oil that’s heavily refined and often genetically modified (GMO). Soy plants are somewhat toxic to humans, you didn’t know? Soybean oil, milk and tofu contain a lectin called PHG, short for phytohemagglutinin. PHG may interfere with digestion, affect memory and make your blood cells stick together (like clot). People use soybean oil for stir-fry because of the high smoke point.

Read your supplement bottles, soybean oil is used in many dietary supplements.

FREE SCREENING for Detection of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA)

As many as 2.7 million Americans are estimated to have an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, but only about half of them have been diagnosed. Approximately 15,000 people die from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms in the United States each year. Many patients are not aware of the presence of an AAA. It is more prevalent in patients with history of smoking and family histories of abdominal aortic aneurysms and hypertension. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms usually do not produce any symptoms until the aneurysm is ready to rupture. It is therefore important that persons over the age of 65, with family history of AAA and/or history of smoking, should be screened to detect the presence of an aneurysm.

If the aneurysm is found and happens to be less than 5 centimeters, the patient should be followed periodically as an outpatient with ultrasound to check for any significant increase in the size of the aneurysm. If the aneurysm turns out to be greater than 5 centimeters, the patient should consider repair of the aneurysm and discuss treatment options with a Vascular surgeon.

Please call the office at 732-244-4448 to schedule your free screening.

Educating Our Community On Nursing Home Abuse

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates People put their elderly parent or grandparent in a nursing home so that they can be safely taken care of, so that someone can properly look after them in their old age.

No one expects that these nursing home residents should get anything less than the proper care and respect that they deserve, but with the horrifying rise in nursing care abuse, this is not always the case. According to the National Center on Elder Abuse in the United States, more than 30 percent of all nursing homes in America indulge in some form of resident abuse.

Statistics show that nearly 50 percent of all nursing homes are short staffed. The staff people who do work in these facilities are underpaid, overworked and all too often overburdened, which in turn leads to elder neglect and abuse.

Even more alarming is the prediction that the problem will only worsen in the near future. More than 91 percent of nursing homes lack adequate staff to properly care for patients. A Health and Human Services Department report found patients in understaffed nursing homes were more likely to suffer from a variety of problems, such as bed sores, malnutrition, weight loss, dehydration, pneumonia and serious blood born infections. It’s a serious concern that will only increase with time, given that the population of people aged 85 or older is

expected to double to 8.9 million by the year 2030.

Signs of abuse and neglect may be (but are not limited to) evidence such as patterns of bruising, unexplained injuries, frequent infections, bedsores, questionable hygiene, appearance of malnutrition, emotional distress and unsanitary living conditions.

Document any such evidence you observe, and bring it to the attention of your attorney.

Neglect can be just as harmful in the long run as abuse, leading to additional health problems and possibly death. Nursing home abuse isn’t limited to physical abuse; there can also be emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse, where an elder is demeaned or humiliated in other ways.

Many elders needlessly suffer from nursing home abuse in which they are manipulated, humiliated or physically harmed by the very people entrusted with providing them with loving and tender care. Instances of physical, sexual and verbal abuse have taken place at the very nursing homes where elders are actually supposed to be well taken care of; unfortunately, cases of nursing home abuse in America and also in New Jersey are rising rather than falling.

If you think a loved one is the victim of Nursing Home Abuse call the trial attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free consultation to discuss their rights.

The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, 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 and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Riding Along In My Automobile

Dear Joel, I am fuming. My boyfriend and I needed a car for quite some time now.

I agreed to save up and pay for half.

He called me to tell me that he had the “perfect car.” He described it, and I agreed to buy it on the phone. What he failed to tell me is that it was a stick shift. I don’t know how to drive a standard transmission, and now have this car that only he can drive!

Answer Well, it does sound as if your boyfriend is a manipulative type. That being said, you did allow for this to happen by letting him “take the wheel” and not going to see the car. Two choices as I see it. If it’s still possible to get a

refund, do it.

If not, learning to drive a stick will take you about a day or two. Many driving schools have an instructor that works with standard transmissions. It takes some effort but is actually worth knowing.

Should you ever travel internationally, you can rent a car virtually anywhere in the world. Gas prices are up, and you’ll save some gallons over the year.

Be safe.Questions for Joel?

The deb-to-borrow ratio is also behind the rating. Ebenau said “the total borrowing capacity of the township at the end of

2015 was $179 million. The gross debt in percentage to which can be borrowed is 3.50 percent of the three-year average assessed valuation. The net debt in percentage to which has been borrowed is only .82 percent of the three-year average assessed valuation. The remaining borrowing capacity at

the end of 2015 was $137 million.”

Amato said the budget process is a conservative one.

“We will continue our conservative budget practices in our ongoing effort to improve our finances and find more ways to save taxpayers money,” said the mayor.

Oyster Creek Returns To Full Power

OCEAN COUNTY – Operators have restored the Oyster Creek Generating Station to full power, following a planned maintenance outage designed to enhance system reliability and efficiency in advance of the peak summer season.

During the outage, technicians repaired and tested several pumps and seals that control water flow and performed maintenance on a control rod drive mechanism.

Many of these activities could not be performed while the unit was generating electricity.

“The community relies on Oyster Creek’s electricity, particularly during the peak summer months,” said Site Vice President Garey L. Stathes. “The work completed during this outage will help us operate at peak efficiency while meeting that demand.”

Toms River Oncology Radiologist Dr. Bryan Eggert Fights The Good Fight For Patient Lives And Liberties

By Joyce Blay Toms River radiation oncology specialist Dr. Bryan Eggert is not running for public office, but that hasn’t stopped him from advocating for his patients’ rights to government services.

“I fight for my patients to get what they deserve,” he tells a visitor to his office. “I advocate for treatment and medical coverage.”

Dr. Eggert is an affiliate physician of Garden State Medical Center, a unique multi-specialty, out-patient medical facility serving the tri-state area.

He also fights for the health and well-being of patients engaged in a personal battle with an implacable foe - cancer.

For this staunch medical warrior, there is no retreat and no quarter given.

“The general outlook for a cancer diagnosis is quite ominous,” Dr. Egger t says. “I think people need to understand and overcome that psychological barrier. A diagnosis of cancer is no longer the end of the world.”

Many of Dr. Eggert’s patients are diagnosed with breast cancer. The West f ield, NJ native views their lives and their self-esteem his personal responsibility to rescue.

“Isn’t empathy a doctor’s personal responsibility?” he asks rhetorically. “I provide emotional support, empathy, counseling. A patient diagnosed with cancer that comes here for radiological treatment will

Dr. Eggert is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where he majored in Chemistry, but also excelled in Philosophy and English. In 1983, Dr. Eggert received his medical degree from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO. “That was a very intensive program,” he says of his medical education.

In addition to his professional responsibilities, Dr. Egger t also may arrange for delivery of social services, such as Meals On Wheels, or service calls from the Visiting Nurse Association.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of mAY 21-mAY 27

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Smart shoppers come out on top. Be selective about your purchases and make sure that you are getting the best bargain possible. Be aware of creative ideas to stretch your dollar this week.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Dress to impress. Others will think that you are really on the ball if you show off your sense of style and good taste. Maintain a professional tone when in social situations in the week to come.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Use brainpower to get the job done. You’ll get the greatest satisfaction from researching facts, crunching numbers and solving difficult problems. Focus on fact finding in the week ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Get up and go while the going is good. Your energy level will be high this week and you can make the most of it by dusting off the golf clubs, taking a hike or simply tackling some household chores.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Stay on course.

Distractions abound and may have you questioning whether your current plan will work.

In the week to come you will learn that perseverance will eventually be rewarded.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Thinking outside the box may miss the mark. The simplest solutions work the best as this week unfolds. Trying to be too creative or clever may make a task more difficult than it needs to be.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Put on your Sunday best. In the week ahead spice up your appearance and make a striking impression. Tag along with a special someone and you may find yourself on an exciting adventure.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be a pillar of support. A loved one may seem hesitant when visiting new places or trying new things but you can make it all better by giving comfort and reassurance. If no one else is willing to make a choice, step in and take charge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Stray from the beaten path. Satisfy your need for excitement in the week to come by exploring uncharted territory or try something that is new or completely out of the ordinary.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Get motivated. Stay busy this week by working to achieve a tangible goal, no matter how big or small it may be. Enlist the aid of others to accomplish whatever you set out to do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Get to the point. Don’t skirt issues in the week ahead or you may confuse your audience.

A wise elder or experienced mentor may have valuable information to share with you if you listen.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Those around you may have serious issues to deal with when all you want is just to go out and play. In the week head just go off on your own and follow whatever whims that tickle your fancy.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Fast Food: Quickly Cooked Cod Fillets Convenient For Family Dinner, Entertaining

By Wolfgang Puck

BAKED COD FILLETS WITH A PARMESAN-PANKO CRUST Serves 2 to 4 1 cup (250 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, about 3 ounces (185 g) 1 cup (250 mL) panko or other coarse dry breadcrumbs 1/3 cup (85 mL) mixed chopped fresh herbs such as Italian parsley, chives, tarragon, thyme and chervil, plus extra for garnish 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper f lakes Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter 4 skinless cod fillets, each 4 to 6 ounces (125 to 185 g) and at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick 1/4 red onion, chopped 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry white wine 1 lemon, cut in half, plus extra slices for garnish Place an oven rack in the highest position.

Preheat the oven to 500 F (260 C). On a

small baking sheet, stir together the Parmesan, panko, 1/3 cup (85 mL) of the herbs, red pepper f lakes, salt and pepper to taste.

Melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy ovenproof nonreactive skillet large enough to hold the cod. Season the cod with salt and pepper. Dip 1 side of a fillet into the butter, then press into the crumbs. Return it crumb side up to the skillet.

Repeat the process with the remaining cod and crumb mixture. Spoon melted butter over the crumbs and dot with the remaining unmelted butter. Scatter the onion around the f ish. Pour the wine in between the fish fillets, taking care not to disturb the crumbs. Squeeze in a lemon half.

Set the skillet over high heat and bring the wine to a simmer. Put the skillet in the oven. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes. To test for doneness, use a dull skewer: Inserted into the thickest part of a fillet, it should meet no resistance.

Squeeze the remaining lemon half over and around the fish. Place the skillet over high heat to bring the juices back to a simmer.

Garnish with lemon slices and the rest of the fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
