Ocean Takes All-Star Win In Gridiron Classic

–Photos by Jennifer Peacock LAKEHURST – The Fourth of July fun began July 3 for Lakehurst, who set off its fireworks display that evening. The next day, the borough celebrated with a parade, one that showcased the red, white and blue patriotism as veterans groups, civic organizations, emergency vehicles and other participants marched or rode in the parade.

By Chris Christopher Mike Miserendino made the most of his final game on his home field. The recent Central Regional High School graduate threw the winning touchdown pass for the Ocean County All-Stars in their 14-7 victory over the Monmouth County All-Stars in the 39th annual U.S.Army AllShore Gridiron Classic on June 30. Miserendino completed a 4-yarder to former Southern Regional player Pat Walker with 8:30 left in the game for a 13-7 lead. Ex-Point Pleasant Boro player Collin Ansbach kicked the extra point to push the lead to 14-7. “This was definitely a night to remember,” said Miserendino, who will play either defensive back or wide receiver at Rowan (All-Star - See Page 5)

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 down to the 12 and followed with a 1-yard burst to the 11. Miserendino muscled for five yards to the six. Lee gained five yards

The Manchester Times, July 9, 2016, Page 5 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

“The Music Of The Movies” At Library MANCHESTER – On Saturday, July 9 at 1 p.m., the Manchester branch Library will host the show “The Music of the Movies.” The act is made up of Dorsey Church and Philip-Mycheal Bonds who will sing a musical revue to include some of the movies’ most famous hits. There will be songs from “Titanic,” “Mahogany,” “Sweet Charity,” “The Sound of Music,” “Heart Burn,” “A Star is Born,” “Casablanca” and many more. The show will be performed

as a musical duet with a visual presentation. Bonds is a local resident whose resume includes performing with Disney and on Broadway. This program is open to all ages, free of charge. There is no registration. For more information, go online to theoceancountylibrary. org or call 732-657-7600. The Manchester branch of the Ocean County Library is located at 21 Colonial Dr.

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 around since we were in the first and second grade,” Towns said. “It’s all about the love

of football. 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). Jack O’Connor (Red Bank Regional) kicked the extra point and Ocean County answered with the winning touchdown. Monmouth leads the series 20-18-1 with one tie. Ocean County has won the game three straight years.

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 and financial settlements (Letters - See Page 22)

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

From The Desk Of The Mayor MANCHESTER – During summer months, customer demands for water increase dramatically due to lawn irrigation. Over the last few days, customer demands rose to record levels. Reducing water use during peak periods is essential to our provision of an uninterrupted supply of water, particularly in emergencies, such as fires. The following mandatory lawn and landscape watering restrictions are effective in our Eastern Service Area until further notice. The Eastern Service Area generally includes

OCEAN COUNTY – Seniors navigating the often complicated maze of obtaining the proper health insurance information have always been able to get help f rom State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) counselors who assist them in making informed decisions when it comes to Medicare issues. “This is a very important program to the seniors living in Ocean County, but it could be in jeopardy as the federal government talks about completely eliminating its funding,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as chairman of Senior Services. “This would have devastating consequences for Medicare beneficiaries and their families.” As of August 31 Ocean County had 143,112 people eligible for Medicare, which represents 10 percent of New Jersey’s Medicare population. “Those calling 1-800-Medicare are often referred to SHIP for more detailed, personalized assistance, especially for help in resolving complicated

Water Use Restrictions

the portion of the township lying along Route 37 and those portions lying to the east of Route 37 and the Lakehurst Naval Air Engineering Station and Warfare Center. Watering shall be defined as the sprinkling, watering or irrigation of shrubbery, trees, lawns, grass, ground covers, plants, vines, gardens, vegetables, flowers or any vegetation. Properties with odd numbered street addresses may water only on odd calendar dates (such as July 9) except for the 31st of a month on

which watering is prohibited. Properties with even numbered street addresses may water only on even calendar dates (such as July 10). Watering is not permitted between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Watering of any single area shall not exceed 30 minutes in a day. These restrictions shall apply to all residential and commercial properties served by Manchester Township that are located in the Water Utility’s Eastern Service Area except for public parks, public

recreation areas and nurseries. Hanging plants are exempt. Any newly seeded or sodded lawn areas for up to thirty days after initial seeding or sodding are also exempt provided there is a small sign visible from the street in the front yard indicating “new seed” or “new sod” and the date of installation. These restrictions shall not apply to residents and commercial properties that are served by other water utility companies or which obtain their potable water from their own private well.

These restrictions shall not apply to customers that obtain water for lawn and landscape watering from their own private well provided they place a small sign visible from the street in their front yard indicating “Private Well.” Violators of these restrictions are subject to fines. In addition, adhere to the following additional water conservation practices: use self-closing nozzles on all hoses, use a broom to sweep the sidewalk or patio rather than a hose, run washing machines and dishwashers

SHIP Funding Cannot Be Eliminated Freeholders Say

problems with enrollments or appeals,” Vicari said. “SHIP has operated in New Jersey for 29 years.” State Health Insurance Program known as SHIP is designed to assist Medicare enrollees, potential enrollees and their caregivers with their questions regarding Part A, B, C and D benefits/claims and supplemental policies. Questions related to Medicare are one of the most frequent calls to the Senior Ser vices off ice and for its outreach sites located throughout the county. “The Ocean Area Agency on Aging or AAA leads New Jersey in SHIP consumer activit y with 40 certified counselors located throughout the county who had 11,467 client contacts in the last f iscal year,” Vicari said. “These counselors provide important assistance to our seniors and their families, without them the elderly in Ocean County would have to make difficult decisions regarding their health insurance without the guidance of someone who works with this topic every day.”

Vicari noted that during the fall of each year, the Medicare Part D (prescription coverage) enrollment period is the busiest time of year for the Ocean County Office of Senior Services. “Senior Services partners with the County Connection at the Ocean County Mall to reach as many individuals as possible,” Vicari said. “The Part D days as they are called are always full and we are able to help many seniors with the assistance of SHIP counselors. This is a very important function and should continue to be funded by the federal government.” Ocean County has the second highest number of Medicare beneficiaries in the state and of these beneficiaries, 20,900 or 14.5 percent are under the age of 65. A review of last year’s activity shows that more than 38 percent of client contacts were by phone, 43 percent were in office and a significant 14.9 percent of client contacts were directly in the client’s home by outreach workers. Over 16 percent of those assisted

by SHIP were over 85 years of age. “It’s important we tell Washington, D.C. not to eliminate the funding for this essential program for our seniors,” Vicari said. “Ocean County is home to the largest number of seniors in the state, and this would be harmful to so many of them.” Vicari urged seniors and

their family members to contact their representatives in Congress to stop the proposed elimination of the SHIP program funding. “These funds have to be continued,” Vicari said. “We need to join with the National Council on Aging to tell our members of Congress to reject these proposed cuts and make needed investments in SHIP.”

Mayor Kenneth T. Palmer only when full, turn off faucets when not in use, such as while brushing teeth or washing dishes and use soaker hoses or drip irrigation to water trees, gardens and flower beds. Thank you for your anticipated compliance with these water conservation measures.

Last year, the Senate bill suggested cutting SHIP funding by nearly 42 percent, which Congress ultimately rejected after effective advocacy by AAAs and SHIP programs across the country. “We need to increase our efforts this year to ensure that SHIP funding is preserved in a final spending package,” Vicari said.

The event brought together members of the community for a day of fun, socializing and celebration. The opening ceremonies were held at noon. Councilmen James Vaccaro, Samuel Fusaro and Charles Frattini joined Department of Recreation Director Tracey Lynch and Business Administrator Donna Markulic for the opening events. Throughout the day, families were treated to free rides and games for kids, contests, kayak races, musical performances and vendors selling goods and food. This year’s headlining

musicians were Julian and Dominique and Tusk, the Fleetwood Mac Tribute Band. Capping off the day’s activities was a spectacular fireworks display over the waters of Harry Wright Lake. New this year was a live K9 demonstration by Patrolman Steven Wendruff and his K9 partner Lynk of the Manchester Township Police Department. “Manchester Day is a great opportunity for our families to come together and have fun as a community,” said Director Lynch. “I hope that all of our residents had the chance to create some special memories with their families and neighbors.”

MANCHESTER – A new tradition was started on June 14 at Manchester Township High School with the Senior Walk. Graduating seniors, wearing their caps and gowns, walked the halls of Ridgeway, Whiting, Manchester and Lakehurst elementary schools as the younger students cheered them on. The elementary students were excited to see the seniors. They held congratulatory

signs, cheered, clapped and high fived the seniors. Some elementary students received hugs from older siblings and friends. Some of the seniors also hugged former teachers as they passed them in the halls. Administrators at the high school said they got the idea from another school’s video that was circulating on social media.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Fast Facts About Hearing Loss Despite the national prevalence of hearing loss, many do not have awareness as to how widespread hearing difficulties are. Below are some quick facts about hearing loss in the United States and how it impacts the way we live. Many are affected…one in five Americans experiences some form of hearing loss. Yet many do not act…80 percent of those with hearing loss do nothing to treat it. But when they do…it takes the average person five to seven years to seek professional diagnosis for a hearing problem. Hearing loss is typically caused by – Aging, ototoxic medication,

exposure to noise and heredity. There’s no need to wait. We emphasize the importance of good dental hygiene and vision health yet ignore our crucial sense of hearing. Getting in the habit of receiving annual hearing evaluations can help you maintain better hearing, learn better hearing techniques, and set a positive example for those close to you. There is hope – solutions are available. 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.

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health, cautioned beachgoers to be mindful of swimming conditions. He said, “Any beach can be dangerous, and you to need exercise caution, especially if children are with you. Swimmers always need to be careful. One of the biggest dangers ocean swimmers have is a rip current. Many times when we hear of drownings at local beaches it is due to someone getting caught in a rip current.” A rip current is created when the back-rushing of water from the beach is channeled in a direction away from the shore,” explained Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) public health coordinator. “Some of these can be strong enough to pull you far away from the beach. In studies done by the U.S. Lifesaving Association, it was found that 80 percent of the rescues done by ocean lifeguards involve persons caught in rip currents. Many of these currents are often near man-made objects, such as piers and jetties, which tend to funnel the current offshore, which can pull against a swimmer.” Regenye continued, “If you feel a rip current or think you might be in one, NEVER swim against it. Try to stay calm, float or tread water and then swim perpendicular to the current, which usually means parallel to the shore.”

Another dangerous item beachgoers face has nothing to do with water. It’s alcohol – and too much of it. Alcohol is one of the biggest factors in drownings on recreational beaches, and studies show that 50 percent of all drowning victims over the age of 13 had significantly high blood-alcohol content. Here are some tips to have a safe time at the beach: Never swim alone and if possible use a “buddy” system to check on each other. Swim near a lifeguard and always make sure the lifeguard is visible. Also check out the conditions of the water from the lifeguards. Most drownings occur where no lifeguard is present. Wear a Coast-Guard approved lifejacket and avoid cheap plastic rafts, especially when a person is a weak swimmer. Be aware that currents and offshore wind may move floating objects quickly away from the beach. Stay close to kids. Don’t let children swim near permanent structures because there is a much higher chance of a rip current there. Keep a close eye on kids as they tend to wander off by themselves at a crowded beach. Point out the lifeguard stand to them in case they cannot find you.

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 par t 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

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

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.
