STR Readies Move To New Borough Hall
By Bob Vosseller SOUTH TOMS RIVER – Borough Hall is moving. The June 27 council meeting was the last to be held at 144 Mill St. As of July 6, all offices except for the Sewerage Authority will be located at 19 Double Trouble Road. An official ribbon cutting ceremony is planned for the new facility on July 16. Borough Mayor Oscar L. Cradle bid goodbye to the meeting place and invited the public to the christening of the municipality’s new headquarters. “I welcome all residents, in addition to all former elected officials to partake in the ribbon cutting ceremony. I look forward to welcoming each and every resident at our new location,” Cradle said. Borough Business Administrator Joe Kostecki added that the current municipal complex which also houses the borough’s police department and which will move over to the new facility will remain vacant for the foreseeable future. He confirmed (Borough Hall - See Page 4)

Crowds, estimated at 10,011 attendees, packed the stands and picnic area to enjoy the day, another high attendance day for the Philadelphia Phillies minor league team. Promotions besides the fireworks were meant to celebrate the Fourth of July, as mascot Buster riled up crowds.

that there are no current plans for the borough hall but that the mayor and council hope to find a buyer for it in the future. The new building is a former day care facility on the prominent corner of Double Trouble near Manitou and the parkway ramps. Kostecki said that the borough purchased the 10,000 square foot building for $2.575 million. “When the Borough found that the daycare vacated the vicinity, the Borough inquired about moving operations into 19 Double Trouble. The primary factor surrounding the move to the new building was to provide improved facilities which are fully ADA compliant and able for the Police to become accredited in the future,” said the business administrator. The borough still owns the facility it is leaving. “Although original discussions were potentially involving a land swap, the
Borough felt it prudent to keep them separate. Each are separate Areas of Redevelopment,” Kostecki said. The governing body has not decided the future use of 144 Mill Street. Kostecki said that while the site is currently in an Area of Redevelopment, once the Borough completes its relocation, “we will begin to discuss its potential use or sale. The Borough wants to ensure that if there is a sale (which there is no such discussion at this time), the use would be acceptable to the neighboring residents.” This isn’t the first time borough hall has moved since the borough was founded in 1927. The community’s first meeting place was the P. Furman residence. The first council meeting was held on May 23, 1927 and included Mayor Horite G. Flint; Councilmen Arthur Cornelius, A.P. Greim, Charles Warner, Charles Nordstrom, Frank Applegate and C. Budd Wilsey. Further meetings were held at A.P. Greim’s residence on Mill Street (also known as “Birdville”), the Nobles and Peck Building, the Kosich Building,
Horite G. Flint’s residence on Flint Road and C. Budd Wilsey’s residence on South Main Street. From May 19, 1930 through August 27, 1963 meetings were held at the Borough Hall on Bushwick Avenue. On February 16, 1932, Bushwick Avenue was renamed Center Street. On April 11, 1960, there was a resolution for planning the site of the Borough Hall on Mill Street. The revised plans for the new Borough Hall were submitted on March 13, 1961 and on November 13, 1961, the Council adopted a resolution memorializing the plan to build a new Borough Hall. On November 14, 1962, the final plans for the new Borough Hall were submitted and on March 24, 1963 a ground breaking ceremony was held for the new facility. A dedication for the new Borough Hall was held on August 10, 1963. The first meeting at that building was September 9, 1963. On August 23, 1976, a discussion was held regarding plans for a Municipal Complex and the building was renovated
in 1977, 1984 and 1994. Councilmembers briefly reflected on the fact that this was the last meeting at their current address. “This is a sad day. It is our last meeting here,” Councilman Thomas Rolzhauson said. “It is a happy day though I guess I have mixed feelings,” Councilman William E. Gleason said. Mayor Cradle held up a plaque presented to the borough by the South Toms River Youth League saying it would be the first award to be added to the wall of the new borough hall. “I’m not sad we are leaving this building but I do want to thank everyone, especially our business administrator/clerk Joe (Kostecki) who were involved with our new building,” Cradle said. Kostecki said that despite the governing body not receiving any state grants for its new facility, it was a bargain for the borough. “I think it is has the least cost of any Borough Hall in the county or at least one of the lowest.”
Habitat For Humanity Seeks Volunteers
OCEAN COUNTY – Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity is seeking volunteers to help in the ReStore (thrift store), both in the warehouse and store itself, to act as truck ambassadors (truck drivers), and for construction volunteers on our work sites. All merchandise in the ReStore is from
donations – the proceeds go towards Habitat’s mission of seeking to ensure safe housing for seniors, veterans, and low income families. Northern Ocean Habitat has put over 60 victims of Hurricane Sandy back into their homes, and has helped over 100 families with their “A Brush With
Kindness” program which provides basic safety repairs. Warehouse volunteers should be able to lift 50 pounds, work in a fun, fast-paced environment, and interact with our shoppers/ donors. ReStore volunteers are needed for pricing and arranging household items and
furniture, or working at the register. Truck drivers should have a valid driver’s license and be able to move furniture. Please call Lizzie at 732-818-9500, ext. 110, email volunteercoordinator@nohfh. com, or visit 1201 Lakewood Road (Rt. 166), Toms River.

“This was definitely a night to remember,” said Miserendino, who will play either defensive back or wide receiver at Rowan University. “I loved playing with all of these kids. It’s a great way to come out with a win in my last game on this field. This is real emotional. I am blessed and honored to have played in an all-star game at home.” The drive began at the Ocean County 16-yard line with 13:07 left. Miserendino opened the series with a 4-yard burst to the 20 and a personal foul penalty on Monmouth on the play gave Ocean County the ball at its 35 and a first down. Miserendino followed with a 22-yard dash to the Monmouth 43 and was tackled while out of bounds on the play, putting the ball at the 22 and giving Ocean another first down. Jackson Memorial’s Vinny Lee ripped off a 10-yard gain up the middle for a first

Lee gained five yards up the middle to the one on third and four for a first down. Lee was thrown for 3-yard loss to the four. Miserendino was stopped for no gain on the following play and tossed the game-winner on third and four. Named Ocean’s Most Valuable Offensive Most Valuable Player, Miserendino faked a handoff and tossed the ball to Walker, who caught the ball about one yard from the goal line on the right side of the field, Walker muscled through a defender and into the end zone, sending the Ocean County fans into a frenzy at the Joseph J.Boyd Memorial Field. “I usually hit the tight end with the pass, but Pat was open right away,” Miserendino said. “The play was a 90 boot right. We practiced it a lot during the week and we had it down pretty good. Our coaches said I should definitely fake before throwing the ball. My fake caught their defender
off guard. I am very honored. I never felt I would be the MVP of this game. This is a night to remember. I am very blessed to receive this award.” Honored as Ocean’s Most Valuable Defensive Player was former Jackson Memorial standout Tyler Towns. Bound for Wagner College where he will play defensive end and outside linebacker, the defensive end tipped a pass, resulting in an interception by Brick Memorial’s Chris Hayes with 4:59 to go in the fourth quarter. “My dad (Hollis, who took pictures of his son after the game) told me I would have to walk home to Jackson if I did not come away with one of these,” Towns said while holding his plaque. “It’s a long walk from here (Berkeley Township) to Jackson. When I got my hand on the ball, I had feelings of elation and excitement. It’s a statement. You’re telling the quarterback, ‘You can’t throw on us. You can’t run on us.’ “ “This was old school football, a brotherhood. We have been knocking each other

It’s about wanting to have fun and wanting to put on a good show.” With eight seconds remaining in the game, a Monmouth pass was broken up in the end zone by Point Pleasant Boro’s Devin Connelly on fourth and two, giving Ocean County the ball. Ocean County ran out the clock. Ocean County took a 6-0 lead with 2:05 left in the first quarter on a 55-yard touchdown pass from Noah Husak (Point Pleasant Boro) to Matt Schliefer (Brick Township). Ansbach kicked the extra point. Monmouth cut its deficitto 7-6 with 13:21 to go in the game on a 17-yard touchdown pass from Matt Mosquera (Middletown South) to Nick Pasquin (Raritan).

Featured Letter State Needs To Quit Smoking, Start Prevention As a former smoker and survivor of heart disease, I am very concerned about the lack of state funding for tobacco prevention programs and other services that help smokers quit. While smoking rates have decreased dramatically in the past 20 years, smoking is still the leading preventable cause of death and New Jersey is the only state that dedicates no state resources to the fight against this deadly addiction. Programs to prevent children from picking up the habit and to help smokers quit have disappeared. NJ generates approximately $700 million from the tobacco tax, yet we spend nothing on combating nicotine addiction. This is wrong. The NJ Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee recently approved a bill that would reinstate funding for tobacco prevention. Although it would dedicate only five percent of
what is generated from tobacco taxes, it would still provide $33 million to fund programs to curb and prevent tobacco use. This is a great start. New Jersey has made progress in lowering the smoking rates across the state, but there is more work to be done. Disparities in smoking rates exist according to income, mental health status and other factors. In addition, e-cigarette and hookah use among children and young adults is skyrocketing, which increases the chances that a whole new generation will struggle with nicotine addiction as adults. On behalf of the American Heart Association, I urge the state legislature to continue the passage of this legislation to help create a culture of health in the Garden State.

Letters To The Editor The Complaints Are Economic After reading the article about the recent presentation, “Heart of the Stranger: A Portrait of Lakewood’s Or thodox Community,” given at the Lakewood Library, I felt compelled to “set the record straight” regarding the presumed “growing prejudice” against Orthodox Jews in Lakewood. In my opinion (knowing many people who live in Lakewood, and myself working in the area), the issue is not that the people of Lakewood are anti-Semitic. The “prejudice” is not against the Jewish person. It is against the behavior of people who are not taking care of their property (toys, bicycles laying around outside, yards that are unkempt, houses in disrepair, etc.). Living in the same neighborhood as someone who does not take care of his property lessens the value of any owner’s land. The “prejudice” is against the idea that “I have to pay taxes, but my neighbors don’t.” I believe almost anyone would have a hard time being gracious about that! I don’t believe most people in Lakewood object to how their neighbors dress, what they eat or how they worship. However, when certain behaviors or religious principles make life difficult for their neighbors’ economic welfare, there is bound to be some negative backlash. Many of my customers are Orthodox Jewish peo-
ple, and they are very nice people, but if my land lost value because my neighbor wasn’t taking care of his, or if my tax bill was higher than it should be, because my neighbor’s religious beliefs gave him the privilege of not paying any taxes, I would be upset and not too neighborly either! I don’t know what the solution to the problem is, but please don’t label the problem as “Anti-Semitism.” It is about the concern of many for the beautification and economy of Lakewood.

Benefits, Salaries Exorbitant Despite the fact that Freeholder Jack Kelly has withdrawn from consideration for the state parole board, this newspaper published retired detective Dane Wells’ melancholy and self-righteous letter regarding Laurel’s Hester’s “last gasp” wish, not to recover from her illness, but to bequeath her lifelong benefits to Stacie Andree, her 30-year old partner with a full time job. I agreed then and still do with Freeholder Kelly’s decision to abstain from voting on the matter. First, Hester was not permitted to pass benefits to Andree according to the standards at that time. That’s what all the push was about. Second, at age 49, I doubt she was able to claim benefits at all. This should have been one of those rare occasions

when the taxpayers got a break, considering that the typical public school teacher in this state collects $2.4 million in retirement, having contributed less than $200,000. Same is true of the police, as was documented in a cover story about the Toms River police force which ran in the Asbury Park Press. The public sector unions are strangling New Jersey. Their exorbitant salaries and benefits which we read about every day impact the cost of living of everyone else in the state. According to recent articles in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, the state’s condition has become so perilous that a failure to honor its debts, similar to what happened in Detroit and is taking place in Puerto Rico, is the most likely case going forward. Meanwhile, Wells and Andree will collect millions as long as they can fog a mirror. Bad things happen when good people fail to confront them, as it did in this case. C. Crowley Toms River
Demand Barrier To Parkway The poor air quality, loss of quality of life and substantial health issues because of the poor planning and lack of concern for the residents Brick Township by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority ( NJTA) Commissioners continues. The bureaucrats of the NJTA seem to have had purchased the extremely short and young trees in the Evergreen Woods Park Condominium area either from some cohort as a political payback or benefactor because the trees are a sham. The NJTA knows that over 30 percent of those trees are dead already and should have been replaced by more mature 7 to 10 foot trees. If those Commissioners along with the council members just take a walk through the North Loop of Evergreen Woods they will
see inadequacy of these so called trees. The NJTA has already wasted tens of thousands of taxpayer and toll-payers monies on a publicity ploy that was inadequate and doomed to failure. Anyone walking through the North Loop will see that these trees do not meet the needs of the people and were never going to provide reasonable benefit. As they walk through the development and view these horrid looking dead brown plantings all can see the esthetic appearance caused by the ghastly dead and dying plants. On the walk they can breathe in the toxins of the diesel trucks passing by, view the tens of thousands of cars racing along and maybe even get to hear the blast from one of those trucks or motorcycles that pass by the houses each evening. During their walk they can enjoy for a few minutes the lives of the 2,000 residents of the area. These trees are not a shield to the toxins that flow over the ballfields, the high schools and elementary schools, the playgrounds and the homes of Brick Township residents. The noise has an impact on the residents that live within a few hundred yards of the Garden State Parkway but the toxins associated with diesel trucks and 300,000 cars passing each day impact every child, senior and the everyday citizen that lives within a half mile of the roadway. The Commissioners are killing New Jersey’s citizens. The long-term impact will be the same as what happened with cigarettes. Years from now it will become more evident and there will be deadly health implications. Heart attacks and lung disease will increase and movies will be made of how politicians and bureaucrats ignored the problem, just like with Ciba-Geigy. But the Brick and Ocean County residents don’t want movies, lawsuits (Letters - See Page 14)

What’s Happening In Berkeley Township - By Berkeley Mayor Carmen F. Amato, Jr.
BERKELEY – Congratulations to the Central Regional High School Class of 2016, the Central Regional Middle School Class of 2020 and the Berkeley Township Elementary School Class of 2022. On behalf of the Township Council, I wish our high school graduates good luck in their future endeavors and all students a safe and enjoyable summer. As a reminder, now that school is out for the summer, be extra careful when driving and take extra time to reach destinations. Watch for children walking the roadways and riding their bicycles. I’m pleased to announce
our continuing collaboration with the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department in offering Child Passenger Safety Seat Inspections in Berkeley Township. The next scheduled inspection is July 13 from 3 to 7 p.m., at the Bayville Volunteer Fire Co., located on Route 9 in Bayville. These inspections are free of charge. Ask the following questions: Is my child’s safety seat properly installed in my vehicle? Is the safety seat I am using the right seat for my child? Is my child securely seated in his/ her safety seat? Is my child ready for a booster seat? Is my child ready to safely
travel in a vehicle without a booster seat? Can my child be placed in the forward facing position before he/ she is two years old? Is there a “BEST” car seat for my child? If unsure of any of these questions, stop down and one of the Certified CPS Technicians will be there to assist. The new Berkeley Farmers Market is off to a great start. The market is held every Tuesday through October from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Recreation Center, located on Route 9 in Bayville. Local vendors from around the area, including Moore’s Farm Market, will be on hand selling Jersey’ Fresh

produce and other items of interest. Local support is critical in making this a success. Come on out and support local vendors. Also new this year, the Berkeley Township Historical Society museum will also be open during market hours. Interested in finding out the history of our town? Stop by and check it out – you won’t be disappointed. Save the Bayville Dinosaur shirts will also be on sale at the museum.

Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove
Senate Passes “Combat To College Act” NEW JERSEY – The Senate overwhelmingly passed legislation sponsored by Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove which would grant priority in registering for courses at a public institution of higher education to military service members and veterans living in the state. Con nors, Ru mpf and Gove’s legislation would grant military service mem-
bers and veterans living in the state priority in registering for courses at a public institution of higher education. Connors, Rumpf and Gove have joined with the 1st Legislative District in this bipartisan veterans’ legislative initiative (S-1672 and A-2950) entitled the “Combat to College Act.” The 9th District delegation issued the following statement following the Senate passage of the veterans’ legislative
initiative. “Veterans’ deserve every opportunity to pursue their higher education goals. Higher education policies should be in place to provide special accommodations for veterans’ due to the significant demands associated with military service, including long-term deployments. “Under the ‘Combat to College Act,’ priority registration would apply to both current military service
members serving on active duty and to veterans who were honorably discharged or released under honorable circumstances from active service. “Certainly, we recognize that there are higher education institutions in New Jersey that voluntarily establish extensive services
to assist veteran students. Consistent with those efforts, we believe that state law should require priority registration benefits for veterans.” Members of the 9th District delegation serve on both the Senate and Assembly Military and Veterans’ Affairs Committees. As-
semblywoman Gove serves on the Assembly Higher Education Committee. The delegation proudly sponsored the VeTeach law, enacted in 2012, that established a pilot teacher preparation program at Stockton University for veterans who served in the Armed Forces on or after September 11, 2001.

and financial settlements because their health is more important. With increases in lung ailments, autism and asthma something must be done and done soon. Although not a perfect solution to the devastation, a 14-foot pollution, noise and safety wall needs to be constructed in many areas of Brick Township, and tens of thousands of trees need to be replanted to correct some of the destruction caused by the NJTA. I am hopeful that the Commissioners of the NJTA are just short sighted, incompetent individuals who think that 3 to 5 foot trees will cure the ills caused by their authorization of the illegal and immoral destruction of the environment surrounding the Garden State Parkway in the Brick Township area. I am hoping that they are just ignorant individuals who don’t know the harm they are causing to the health of tens of thousands of Brick residents. I am not of the belief that they NJTA Commissioners are truly evil people who only care about their own pocketbooks at the expense of the health of thousands of New Jersey’s citizens, but something needs to change. As seen in election results, the people are fighting back against the big government-spawned bureaucracies, and our local representatives need to stand with them and demand action now. Bureaucracies use delaying tactics, lies, and misstatements to overwhelm the citizens but the citizens and their representatives must demand immediate. The people’s representatives, must stand with the residents and not the big bureaucracies like the NJTA Commissioners. These Commissioners have shown they don’t care about the residents of Brick or the opinions of the citizens’ representatives so we all must stand strong and defeat these lies, tactics and deception. We must stop the abuse. Hopefully this is still a country of the people, by the people and for the people! Jack Sluka Brick

Here’s To Your Health Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
7 Cool Things to Do with Cucumbers By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Once summer rolls around there’s always one or t wo cucu mbe r s i n my fridge. Cucumbers have a lot of health benefits, and they’re actually a fruit, not a vegetable. They’re in the same family as melons, zucchini and pumpkin. Cucumbers have many active components, among them is an anti-inf lammatory f lavonol called “fisetin,” which supports brain health. Cucumbers offer compounds that are antioxidants, so they help prevent systemic rusting. Here’s some fresh ways to use cucumbers: 1. Soothe itchy eyes. Cut two slices off and lay upon your eyes. This feels especially comfy if you have red, itchy eyes from whatever’s blooming. You can also cut slices and put in a jar of water and infuse the water for an hour (refrigerate), then make a compress out of the cucumber water. Squeeze it and lay that upon your eyes. 2. Juice them. They contain lariciresinol, pinoresinol and secoisolariciresinol which are three important compounds when it comes to reducing risk of reproductive cancers (ovarian, breast, uterine, prostate). Secoisolariciresinol is also found in f lax. 3. Heal burns. Cut the slices lengthwise and apply to areas of sunburn, or use the compress idea from above. 4. Drink them. Cut cucumbers into 1/2 slices along with 1/4 slices of lemon and put into a beautiful glass decanter or carafe with some ice. Let it
marinate for an hour and then drink all day. Among the many health benefits, you may notice a mild diuretic effect that could help with blood pressure and weight loss. 5. Eat them. The profound medicinal benefits of cucumbers are not apparent to you. I bet you walk right past them in the produce section all the time. These guys can block COX2 enzymes (similar to Celebrex, a popular medication) dampening down pain-causing cytokines. While cucumbers are not as strong as drugs, I’d still chop some into your salad along with fresh tomatoes and basil leaves. Finish with cilantro-lime vinaigrette. This salad adds fiber, which in turn helps you manage weight. 6. Treat acne with it. Cucumbers have the ability to remove dirt, dead skin cells, bacteria and left over make-up residue. It naturally calms and cools a red or inf lamed area. Put a quarter of an unpeeled cucumber in your food grinder along with a tablespoon of witch hazel and 2 drops of tea tree oil and 5 drops lavender. Grind to a smooth consistency and apply as a ‘mask’ or dab on an area. 7. Make a toner for your face. Slice cucumbers into two cups pure distilled water. Strain out the cucumbers so you are left with cucumber water. Add one tablespoon of organic aloe vera leaf juice, 10 drops essential oil of lavender and five drops of jasmine. For oily skin add five drops of helichrysum. If you have dry skin, use rose oil.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
The Wealth Was All Mother’s
Dear Joel My husband and I keep our monies separated. We decided this because this is a second marriage for each of us. I want to leave my money to my children and none to my husband. He is upset with me and it has become a big bone of contention between us. I feel like my first husband earned it and that my kids should inherit it. Who is right? Answer: If you are a regular reader of my column. You already know that I prefer not to deal with right and wrong. If I were to do that it would only add to suffering. Additionally I am not an attorney. There
are certain states where a spouse is automatically eligible to receive part of the estate. Not knowing what state you live in, I can’t answer that part of this accurately. I suggest that you have a consultation with an attorney. I want to add that this is your “will.” It is yours to do as you wish. I wish you a long healthy life. Joel Write to preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

Oceanaires Chorus To Offer Free Lessons
TOMS RIVER – As a public service to residents of Ocean County, the locally well-known Oceanaires Chorus is offering free singing lessons to interested men. The chorus, under the capable direction of accomplished Music Director Ritchie Lavene, is a non-profit men’s acappella chorus based in Toms River, which has been entertaining local audiences for over 59 years. Singers who participate in these lessons will be shown how to breathe better while they sing, how to improve the quality of their singing and how to more easily follow a melody or a harmony part in the chorus. These free lessons are offered as a five-week program. At the end of the program, participants may also be invited to sing with the chorus on the evening of August 23 at First Energy Park in Lakewood for the beginning of the Lakewood Blue Claws baseball game. These lessons will be held on five consecutive Tuesday evenings, starting July 5. The singing lessons will run from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the downstairs general purpose meeting room of the New Life Church located at 700 Main St. Sheet music will be provided for participants, although it is not a requirement to be able to read sheet music. A learning CD of the songs in the lessons will be available to help everyone easily learn the songs. Each lesson will conclude with optional light refreshments and a brief informal conversation time with current members of the chorus. The thirty-five active members of the Oceanaires Chorus include men from Toms River,
Lakewood, Brick, Freehold, Howell, Jackson, Lavallette, Berkeley, Manchester, Whiting and other townships in Southern Ocean County. The chorus is able to offer this five-week learning series at no cost to participants thanks to supportive grants from the Ocean County Department of Business Development and Tourism, OceanFirst Foundation and the Ocean County Cultural and Heritage Commission. Those interested in participating in these free lessons should RSVP at execvp@oceanaires. com. Visit oceanaires.com for more information.

Physical Therapy and the Treatment of Vertigo by Alyssa Pillco, DPT
A question I am often asked when people are diagnosed with positional vertigo is, “Can physical therapy really help my dizziness?” They are usually surprised to find out that physical therapy has been shown to effectively treat positional vertigo and that many of our patients are now symptom free after one treatment session. WHAT IS POSITIONAL VERTIGO? The type of vertigo I am referring to is called Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) and it is the most common form of vertigo in both men and women age 60 and older. BPPV is an inner ear disorder that begins when the sensory receptors of the ear known as the Otoconia, made up of calcium-carbonate crystals, break away from their normal home in the utricle (see figure 1) and begin floating around in one of the ear’s three canals. The most common canal these crystals get dislodged into is called the posterior canal. This canal is responsible for telling the brain which direction (up or down) your head is moving in when you move it. The canals play an important part in balance because they send signals to your brain to let it know exactly which position your head is in at every given moment in time. This enables you to have clear vision and helps you maintain balance. WHY DO THE CRYSTALS FLOAT OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE? Normal aging is the most common reason the crystals break away and float out of the utricle. As the inner ear ages, some of the crystals can “loosen” spontaneously and float into the posterior canal. Other reasons the crystals of the ear loosen can be attributed to head trauma, viruses that affect the ear, migraines, and, sometimes prolonged periods of inactivity.
Figure 1
SYMPTOMS OF BPPV Once dislodged crystals get into the ear’s posterior canal, head movements such as looking up or down, bending forward or rolling onto the affected ear can trigger an onset of symptoms. These symptoms may include vertigo (a room-spinning sensation), dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, unsteadiness and/ or loss of balance. The vertigo symptoms usually come on suddenly and can last up to 60 seconds until the dislodged crystals stop floating around and settle in again at the bottom of the posterior canal. The onset of symptoms usually occurs again each time the person initiates a head movement into one of the provoking head positions; hence the term “positional vertigo”. The condition will cease only when the crystals are out of the posterior canal. DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF BPPV BPPV can easily be diagnosed by using the Dix-Hallpike Maneuver (See Figure 2). This is where we position the patient in an upright seated position and then passively move them into a lying position where the head is extended off of the treatment table and rotated right or left to a 45 degree angle. This position usually provokes the patient’s symptoms. The patient is also asked to keep their eyes open during the maneuver so we can detect if “nystagmus” (eye beating) is present. If nystagmus is present, we are able to figure out which canal is affected based on the direction the eyes beat toward. This maneuver is considered the gold-standard for diagnosing BPPV and also indicates to us which of the two ears are affected. After the maneuver is performed, our next goal is to try to get the dislodged crystals out of the posterior
Figure 2
canal and back into the Utricle where they belong. We do this by using a sequence of head positions called the Canalith Repositioning Treatment (CRT). The CRT moves the crystals out of the canal and repositions them back into the Utricle where they either settle or get reabsorbed. Studies show the CRT is effective 80% of the time and helps rid patients of their symptoms in one week. Yes! – I said one week! Patients are always amazed that their symptoms can be relieved in one week with only one simple head treatment – but it’s true and I’ve seen great results with the patients we have treated throughout the years at All-Care. After the CRT is performed, patients are given a protocol they have to follow for one week after their treatment. This consists of avoiding activities that require them to bend forward, tilt their head upwards, or turn their head quickly to the left or right. They must also avoid sleeping on the affected ear. Patients are advised to sleep propped up or on their backs to ensure the crystals don’t float back into the posterior canal. One week after treatment and appropriately following the protocol, the patient should notice a complete cessation of symptoms and should be able to return to life as normal, making their physical therapy treatment a complete success! ALYSSA PILLCO, DPT Alyssa Pillco is a manager at All-Care Physical Therapy’s Manchester location where she currently practices physical therapy and helps with leadership development of the staff. She holds a doctorate degree in physical therapy from the Richard Stockton College of NJ that she received in 2011. She also holds a master’s degree in physical therapy after graduating from Stockton College in 2007 and a bachelor’s degree in psychology that she received from Rutgers University in 2003 and is a certified leadership coach, teacher and speaker.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Swift Saute: Chicken Marsala A Quick Fix For Summer Dinner
By Wolfgang Puck
Apart from the holiday season, of course, summer seems to be the busiest time of the year. But unlike food-centered fall and winter celebrations, from June through August people want to get out of the kitchen as much as possible. Many memorable summer meals are cooked outdoors. Those prepared in the kitchen tend to be quicker. Not only are we dashing around to various warm weather activities; but we also simply don’t want to spend more time than we need to in the warmest room of the house. That’s why I like to saute during summer. Put a pan on the stove, heat up a little oil or butter, add small or thin pieces of food that cook quickly, finish it all off with an easy pan sauce, and you’ve got a delicious one-burner meal ready to serve in less than 30 minutes. One of my favorite sautes at any time of year is a recipe commonly known as Chicken Marsala, named for the fruity-tasting fortified wine from the Sicilian city of the same name. You’ll find it in many Italian restaurants, but the dish is surprisingly easy to make in your own kitchen. Part of the dish’s quick cooking time relies on using thinly pounded pieces, or scaloppini, of boneless, skinless chicken breast. (You can also substitute turkey breast, pork or veal scaloppini.) It’s quick and easy to flatten the scaloppini yourself, but many supermarkets also sell them already prepped and ready to cook. The only other element of the dish many people find challenging is the Marsala wine itself. After all, you may decide at the last minute to cook this dish, but may not want to make a special trip to a wine shop to buy the Marsala. I’ve come up with a solution for you, though. As you’ll see in the recipe, I create a flavor similar to Marsala by steeping raisins in white wine; and you can even add the raisins to the dish, too, for an extra tangysweet surprise. The only other thing you need to complete the meal is a quick side dish or two to serve with the scaloppini. I like rice or mashed potatoes to help soak up the delicious sauce. And baby spinach leaves rapidly sauteed with garlic in a little olive oil makes a perfect vegetable accompaniment. The results are casual enough to serve for a weeknight family meal, yet so beautiful and flavorful that dinner party guests will rave too. And you don’t have to tell anyone how little time you spent in the kitchen! CHICKEN SCALOPPINI MARSALA WITH MUSHROOMS Serves 4 1 cup (250 mL) dry white wine 1 cup (250 mL) seedless raisins 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, each 5 to 6 ounces (150 to 185 g), cut cross-
wise and diagonally into 2 equal pieces Extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped shallots 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic 3/4 pound (750 g) cultivated mushrooms, stems trimmed, caps thinly sliced 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed 3 large fresh sage leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried sage 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce or good-quality bottled barbecue sauce 3/4 cup (185 mL) heavy cream Chopped fresh Italian parsley, for garnish Good-quality canned chicken broth, or water, if needed In a small saute pan or saucepan, combine the white wine and raisins. Bring to a boil over high heat; then, turn off the heat and set aside to steep. Meanwhile, coat the chicken breasts with a little oil. Place 2 halves, spaced apart, in a large heavy-duty plastic bag. With a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy small saucepan, gently flatten the pieces to scaloppini 1/4 to 1/3 inch (6 to 8 mm) thick. Repeat with the remaining halves. Arrange the scaloppini on parchment paper. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Dust very lightly but evenly on both sides with flour. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Add the scaloppini, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once and adding a little butter. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with more oil as needed and the chicken. Spoon excess fat from the skillet, leaving a thin glaze. Add the shallots and garlic. Saute until the shallots begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, 2 tablespoons butter, salt and pepper, and the sage. Saute until the mushrooms are browned and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the reserved white wine and, if you like, raisins. Otherwise, strain the wine through a sieve and discard the raisins. Cook, stirring and scraping to deglaze the pan deposits, until the liquid reduces by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the sage. Stir in the hoisin or barbecue sauce and simmer to thicken slightly. Stir in the cream and bring to a simmer. Return the scaloppini to the pan. Simmer about 1 minute to rewarm them while stirring with a spoon to coat them with the sauce. Sprinkle with some parsley. If the sauce looks too thick, thin with a little broth or water. Divide the chicken scaloppini among serving plates. Spoon the sauce over and around the chicken. Sprinkle with more parsley. Serve immediately.
