Ocean County Fair To Mix New And Old Favorites

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The Ocean County Fair remains a place where everyone in Ocean County is welcome to a day or evening out to enjoy some old-fashioned fun.

While some of it has changed over the years, it still retains the feel of a neighborhood event of wholesome entertainment, said fair manager Jeff Adams.

Volunteers are always hard at work reinvesting in their community. The board putting it together is all volunteers. The ticket gates are run by the Toms River Mariners Marching Band as a fundraiser for them. Explorer youth cadets from the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department and surrounding towns will serve as parking attendants.

Inside, it hearkens back to the kind of fairs that you visited as a kid. Boardwalk-style games of chance and skill will fill the midway. The sound of carnival rides – and people on them – echo from the tree line. Lines of community groups and small businesses set up in booths,

The work, from milepost 81.8 to 89.62, will stretch through multiple municipalities, including all of the parts of Route 9 that are in Berkeley Township and the borough of

Central Board Will Change Venue

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The Central Regional Board of Education meetings will change venue for the summer only, to reach other towns that are within their sending district.

Central encompasses students from Berkeley, Ocean Gate, Island Heights, Seaside Heights and Seaside Park.

The July 20 meeting is at the Island Heights Town Hall, and the August 17 meeting is at the Hugh J. Boyd Elementary School in Seaside Heights. The meetings start at 7 p.m.

Last summer, the board met in Ocean Gate and Seaside Park, board secretary Kevin O’Shea said.

Church Plans Outreach Site Addresses Need For Housing, Counseling, And Addiction Services

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – An old building across from a church will soon serve as its community outreach center, now that it was approved by the township Planning Board.

The Holy Temple Church Of God In Christ, located on 1st Avenue in Manitou Park, was the applicant looking to open this resource center. Pastor David Graham ex-

pected that it would be ready for people in spring.

Graham said the resource center would serve as a referral agency for people in need of housing, mental health services, drug and alcohol counseling, or help with veterans issues. The church has connections with locations that provide these services. Someone walking into the resource center

would be put in touch with one of those agencies that are able to help them right away.

Sometimes, when people need help, they don’t know how to find it, he said. Or, they have to wait to get the services they need. The resource center would be able to cut the wait time for people.

It might also house offices for a (Church - See Page 4)

Church:

Continued From Page 1 receptionist, the pastor, and a boardroom.

The Planning Board and the pastor discussed the hours of operation, since it is in a residential area.

The doors need to be open, particularly for people ready to make a change in their lifestyle. People come in when they’re ready to come in, Graham said. If you tell them to come back later, particularly people with substance abuse problems, you’ll have missed your opportunity to help them.

The hours of operation were discussed to be 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, with some evening hours.

There would not be too many parking spaces on the lot. Instead, the church overflow parking lot would be used. However, there is a vacant lot in between the two that is owned by someone else. There are just trees there now.

Planning Board member Nick Mackres was concerned about how people would walk from the overflow parking to the resource center. It would be a pedestrian safety issue.

John Lord, engineer for the project, said that the church would provide a sidewalk along the vacant property, even though they don’t own it. Any curb cuts would have to be done in the future by the property owner.

Board member Richard Callahan asked who would be responsible for shoveling the walk in the snow. It was written into the document that the church would be responsible.

Planning Board attorney Gregory McGuckin said that if the property in between gets developed, then maintaining the side-

walks would become the new resident’s responsibility.

April Grant, the owner of the empty lot, spoke during the public hearing on the development. She said she was fine with the decisions being made. She just attended the meeting to make sure that she would still retain control of the property.

The small lot contains just one L-shaped building and a shed. No additional landscaping or lighting were proposed. The only changes expected to the facade of the building were to clean it up and paint it.

They were also looking to provide some access according to the Americans With Disabilities Act. There were a lot of non-conforming issues with the property, so the church was seeking waivers so that they did not have to adhere to certain rules. There was not enough distance from the building to neighboring lots, for example. The shed was non-conforming.

The church also sought waivers on various parts of the project, including: shade trees, lighting, landscaping, and paving the overflow lot.

“We are neither increasing or creating any of these variances,” said Lord, the engineer.

Generally speaking, buildings that were built before zoning laws have a bit more leeway, as if they were grandfathered in, providing they don’t make things worse for residents.

Ultimately, the project was approved, with language inserted to require the church to follow certain rules, like taking care of the sidewalk.

“It breaks every zoning law, but it’ll be an improvement to the community,” Planning Board Chairman Bob Winward said with a laugh.

Fair:

Continued From Page 1 mixed in with food vendors. It all still has a classic feel to it.

“We trace our lineage back to 1947,” Adams said. It was an agriculture day, back then, when farmers would show off their crops that year. It was called the “4-H Achievement and Agricultural Ocean County Field Day.” Held on September 6, there were contests for entries like highest yield or largest corn. You could also attend seminars to get information from seed companies. There were an estimated 500 attendees.

It was originally held at Ocean County Park in Lakewood, but in 1982 it was moved to its current location, at the Robert J. Miller Air Park in Berkeley. This allowed more room for amusements, horse riding, and more.

While the venue has changed, and the audience is mostly not farmers, there are certain things that have not. There are still awards and expositions for agriculture. This comes from the still-intact connection to the 4-H after all these decades.

Amusements of America will be bringing the rides. They are the same outfit that has come the last few years, Adams said. Like everything else in the fair, their rides will be a balance of favorites and new things.

Unfortunately, they retired the Ferris wheel they had. That was a crowd pleaser.

Performances There are several acts that are performing throughout the fair, often more than once.

“Some of these people are sought after”

The Berkeley Times, July 15, 2017, Page 5 and are hard to book, Adams said. Scott DeCarlo, in particular, couldn’t be fit into the schedule last year. “This year, we had to fight to get him because he’s in demand.”

The Amish Outlaws, the fair’s headliner, are performing in the main tent on Wednesday, at 7 and 9 p.m.

Doc Swan’s Magical Comedy Act is on Thursday, at 7 and 9 p.m. He was a staple of the fair for a few years, and has now returned.

Country band After the Reign is performing on Friday, at 7 and 9 p.m.

Cowboy Larry’s Wild, Wild West Show will be on Friday and Saturday nights as well.

R&B Express, performing Doo-Wop and oldies, will be on the stage at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Country singer Scott DeCarlo will be performing on Saturday at 7 and 9 p.m.

Kaotic Control will be performing at 1 p.m. on Sunday.

Rock N Roll Chorus, from Long Branch, will also be performing.

These shows are being done at various times from Wednesday to Sunday: RC Car demonstrations, and a Chainsaw Carver.

The carver has won awards internationally.

He will be doing demonstrations, where he takes a block of wood and gives it new life in about 20-30 minutes.

Animal Shows What’s a county fair without animal shows? There are several going on throughout the week.

A western gaming horse show will be in the horse show ring at 5 p.m. on Friday. At

5 p.m. on Saturday, there will be the Team Sorting Horse Event.

Marvelous Mutts, Commerford Zoo, and the Pig Races will be scheduled throughout the fair, from Wednesday to Sunday.

Marvelous Mutts has trained dogs perform such feats as races and swimming pool acrobatics.

Commerford features an exotic petting zoo, with creatures such as lemurs and yaks.

They have an elephant and camel ride.

The pig races are just what you imagine they would be, a track with packs of piglets running through them, all given ridiculous names.

Fair Food And of course there must be fair food. Corn dogs and funnel cake as far as the eye can see. But wait, there’s more!

Just as the other festivities are a mix of classics and new, the food selections will be a mix of traditional fair food and new selections.

You’ll see kettle corn on the traditional side, and falafel on the nontraditional side.

With the popularity of food trucks, there will be more of them making appearances.

Schedule The Ocean County Fair will be from July 12 through 16 at the Robert J. Miller Air Park on Route 530 in Berkeley Township.

The hours are as follows: Thursday, July 13, 5 to 11 p.m.

Friday, July 14, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Saturday, July 15, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Sunday, July 16, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Fair admission is $8. Children younger than 10 are free.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

NEW JERSEY – Congressman MacArthur released the following statement after he voted to advance the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) reform package out of the House Financial Services Committee: Nearly, five years ago, Superstorm Sandy devastated the Jersey Shore. Ocean County - my home - was the epicenter of the storm and half of all NJ Sandy flood claims happened here. Even today, many families are still not back in their homes and are dealing with the effects of this storm because of mismanagement at FEMA. The

Congressman MacArthur: Ocean County Deserves Fair Flood Insurance

terrible response to this storm coupled with an opportunity to reauthorize and reform the NFIP are two big reasons why I sought a seat on the House Financial Services Committee during this Congress.

After joining the House Financial Services Committee, I was confronted with the harsh reality that many of my non-coastal colleagues wanted to gut the NFIP and put it on the path to extinction.

My goal has been to achieve a long-term reauthorization and reform the program so it serves flood-exposed citizens and coastal communities better.

During the legislative process, I fought to ensure that every coastal resident and business has access to the flood program at affordable rates, to increase investment in mitigation and to instill more accountability at FEMA. I am particularly pleased with the following achievements that will help Jersey Shore residents: • A full five-year reauthorization.

• A guarantee that all flood-exposed properties in participating communities, including new construction, can continue to participate in the program. I amended the

bill to guarantee this since the original bill excluded new construction in special flood hazard areas.

• A reduction in how high premiums can increase for homes built before flood maps were produced by the federal government. I am still working to bring rates down further before a floor vote.

• I successfully removed a harmful provision that would have punished homeowners who had suffered two losses of $1,000 by slapping them with a $5,000 deductible.

This deductible will now only apply to severe and extreme repetitive loss properties.

• I worked to add bill language prohibiting FEMA from hiring disbarred attorneys, a practice that was rampant during the Sandy claims review process. People who aren’t qualified to practice law shouldn’t be hired to settle claims.

• I worked on doubling the Increased Cost of Compliance (ICC) coverage from $30,000 to $60,000 to help residents elevate their homes and engage other strategies to protect against future flood risk. Importantly, the bill also authorizes the Director to pay ICC coverage amounts in advance of a loss, if mitigation

efforts are likely to prevent future covered losses.

• I worked to add amendment language to stop FEMA from imposing unfunded mandates on local mayors of flood-exposed communities.

The people whose lives were turned upside down by Sandy are ordinary Americans who pay their taxes and expect their government to be there when a natural disaster strikes. I’m grateful I was able to fight for them and work with the committee to reform and protect this vital program. It’s my hope that now the entire Congress will act quickly to pass this bill.

Filing Deadline For School Board Candidates Nearing

NEW JERSEY – Candidates seeking school board seats have until 4 p.m. on Monday, July 31 to file their nominating petitions at the Ocean County Clerk’s Office in order to have their name placed on the November 7 General Election Ballot, according to Ocean County Clerk Scott M. Colabella.

Nominating petitions for School Board can be obtained in person at either the Ocean

County Clerk’s Main Office, at the Ocean County Courthouse, Election Services, Room 107 at 118 Washington Street in Toms River, or at the Ocean County Southern Service Center, 179 South Main Street in Manahawkin.

The offices are staffed from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

“The Ocean County Clerk’s Office makes every effort to inform potential candidates

of approaching filing deadlines,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, who serves as liaison to the County Clerk. “Through the office’s website, social media, and other avenues, County Clerk Colabella provides the information needed by both candidates and voters.”

Colabella noted it was important that candidates get their paperwork in on time.

“This is what guarantees their place on the ballot,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari.

Colabella noted that all Ocean County school districts now hold their Board of Education elections in November.

“A law signed by the Governor in 2014 moved the petition filing deadline for

school board candidates from June to the last Monday in July to provide candidates with more time to submit their petitions,” Colabella said.

A total of 68 school board seats will appear on the November ballot in various school districts throughout Ocean County. A complete listing of all candidates who

file petitions for school board will be available shortly after the July 31 deadline at oceancountyclerk.com or facebook.com/oceancountyclerk.

School board candidates seeking additional information on the petition filing process can contact the Ocean County Clerk’s Election Office at 732-929-2153.

SUN, SAND, SURF, AND EYE GROWTHS

You don’t necessarily have to be a surfer to develop an eye condition known as “surfer’s eye.” Swimmers, fishermen, and boaters may also develop a pink growth of fleshy tissue on their conjunctivas (the clear tissue that lines the eyelids and covers the eyeball) known as “pterygium.” As obvious and unattractive as this growth can be, it is not cancerous and usually does not cause problems or require treatment. However, it can be surgically removed when it interferes with vision. As far as prevention is concerned, the exact cause is not known, but it is generally thought that too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light and prolonged contact with wind, smoke, and sand likely trigger pterygium development.

Pterygia usually occur on the side of the eye closer to the nose, but they can also develop on the side closer to the ear and can affect one eye or both eyes. Having light skin and light eyes may put you at increased risk of getting a pterygium. To schedule an appointment, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., at 732-3495622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

Animal Rules For Seaside Park

SEASIDE PARK – Dogs, pets, horses, and other animals are prohibited from the beach and boardwalk at all times. Borough Ordinances state no animals are allowed on the beach or boardwalk at any time, in all seasons.

Violators may be summoned and fined. The only exception to this is for registered service animals (such as seeing-eye dogs and on-duty police dogs).

Animals left unattended in vehicles Report any animals left in an unattended vehicle during extremely hot or cold weather conditions by calling the police department by calling 732-793-8000. The borough works in conjunction with the ASPCA to prevent harm

to animals left in vehicles. Visitors should kennel their pets or arrange for a pet-sitter instead of leaving them in their vehicles to ensure their pets safety.

Animal owners and caretakers are required

by Borough Ordinance to leash pets or animals brought onto public streets and areas. Animals waste is a health hazard, and the borough requires that pet owners/caretakers clean up any waste their animals deposit anywhere in Seaside Park.

All dogs are to be licensed annually. Licenses are available at the Borough Offices on 1701 North Ocean Ave. For more information, call 732-793-3700.

Mylar Balloons Pose Threat To Power Lines, Wildlife This Summer

OCEAN COUNTY – Mylar balloons, those metallic covered novelty decorations that come in a host of shapes and sizes, may be fine for parties or graduation celebrations, but they can be deadly to wildlife that thrive in Ocean County’s bays and other waterways.

“We are getting more and more reports of deflated or shredded Mylar balloons found floating in the bay and in the ocean,” said Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “Some wildlife can mistake the balloons for food and try to consume them.”

While all balloons can pose a threat to fish, birds, reptiles and mammals, Vicari said the popularity of the Mylar balloons is adding to the problem.

“People like them because of the bright colors and various designs. You can find a Mylar balloon to celebrate just about any occasion,” he said.

Vicari asked that anyone using Mylar balloons keep them carefully tethered and do not let the helium-filled balloons escape.

Afterwards, they should be disposed of properly in the trash.

Loose balloons that rise high enough and are caught in the wind can travel for hundreds of miles.

“Part of the problem we are seeing is the prevailing winds are bringing these balloons in from other states,” Vicari said. “Let’s set an example in Ocean County and not release

balloons.”

According to reports from across the nation, Mylar balloons also pose another threat.

“If these metallic-covered balloons strike power cables, they can cause widespread electrical outages,” he said.

California utility companies reported that Mylar balloons were responsible for more than 1,900 outages in that state in 2015.

“For everyone’s safety, please keep all balloons tethered,” he said.

Vicari said he discussed the Mylar balloon problem with representatives from the state Department of Environmental Protection and local environmentalists at Wednesday’s Barnegat Bay Blitz at the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation Administrative Offices in Toms River.

“We spoke of the importance of educating people about unseen dangers of these balloons,” he said.

Vicari said plastics, including plastic bags and ringed six-pack can holders are also a growing problem in the bay.

“We ask everyone to please properly dispose of their plastics so they don’t threaten our wildlife,” he said.

Many supermarkets accept old plastic bags for recycling, Vicari added.

“The bags are used to make composite plastic decking for boardwalks and backyard decks,” he said. “Park benches are also made from the material.”

Ongoing Alleged Fraud In Lakewood Reaches $2.4 Million

By Sara Grillo LAKEWOOD – As Ocean County and Federal law enforcement officials continue their investigation into the recent defrauding of Medicaid and other government assistance programs, 12 additional Lakewood residents have been served complaint summonses for allegedly collecting thousands of dollars in fraudulent benefits.

As of last week, 14 people had been arrested between June 26 and 27 for collecting roughly $2 million in government assistance benefits they were allegedly not entitled to. A total of 26 people have now been arrested, with the total alleged fraud reaching nearly $2.4 million.

The following couples were most recently served complaint summonses for 3rd Degree Theft by Deception by Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office detectives and collaborating agencies: • Eliezer and Elkie Sorotzkin of West Spruce Street allegedly wrongfully collected approximately $74,960 in Medicaid benefits between January 2011 and December 2013.

• Samuel and Esther Serhofer of Whispering Pines Lane allegedly wrongfully collected approximately $72,685 in Medicaid benefits between January 2009 and December 2013.

• Yisroel and Rachel Merkin of Hermosa Drive allegedly wrongfully collected ap-

proximately $70,557.51 in Medicaid, SNAP and HEAP benefits between January 2011 and December 2014.

• Jerome Menchel and Mottel Friedman of Pressburg Lane allegedly wrongfully collected $63,839 in Medicaid and SNAP benefits between January 2011 and July 2014.

• Tzvi and Estee Braun of Ridge Avenue allegedly wrongfully collected $62,746.74 in Medicaid, HEAP and CICRF benefits between January 2009 and December 2013.

• Moshe and Nechama Hirschmann of Emmanuel Drive allegedly wrongfully collected $53,418.39 in Medicaid and SNAP benefits between January 2011 and December 2015.

It is alleged that the charged individuals misrepresented their incomes by claiming amounts that were low enough to benefit from the government programs, when their actual incomes were too high for them to quality. They also failed to disclose on the applications additional income they were receiving from other sources. As a result, the individuals were able to receive government benefits that they and their families were not entitled to.

Additional arrests and charges may result as the cases move through the legal process.

If anyone has information about these incidents, they should contact Sergeant Mark Malinowski of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027.

Beachwood Municipal Alliance

BEACHWOOD – The Beachwood Municipal Alliance will meet on these dates at 7 p.m. at the Beachwood Municipal Complex, 1600 Pinewald Road.

The meeting dates are: September 19 and November 14.

The meetings are open to the public.

In 2002 the Beachwood Borough Council established the Beachwood Municipal Alliance in order to provide the residents of Beachwood with a safe instructive and informative program promoting an anti-substance abuse atmosphere in the community.

The alliance’s goals are to: decrease tobacco and alcohol involvement by the community youth by increasing community awareness of the consequences of teen drug and alcohol use; decrease community acceptability of illegal drug and alcohol use by increasing youth involvement in positive constructive activities; decrease incidents of teen loitering and vandalism by increasing opportunities to bond with and become involved in the community; and reduce community norms favorable to drug use by increasing the number of positive healthy alternative activities for residents of all ages.

Repaving:

Continued From Page 1 Pine Beach.

Jones Road meets Route 9 just north of Lacey Road. It leads to a small neighborhood south of the entrance to the Forked River Game Farm. Longboat is one of several Beachwood streets that connect with Route 9.

The project involves resurfacing the pavement, replacing or improving striping and raised pavement markers, upgrading guide rails, and making intersections compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, according to paperwork from the DOT. Additionally, sidewalks could be added if “a worn path indicates a community need.”

The local historical societies were notified of the project because the work would be near historically sensitive areas, such as the Good Luck Farm, Bayville dinosaur, or the Renault wine bottle. Most of them would be unaffected by the improvements. New sidewalks are planned for the Woodmansee Estate Historic District, among other spots.

ADA improvements are expected on Cutlass Way, Morris Boulevard, Sloop Creek Road, and Harborage Avenue.

“The project is currently in an early stage of final design,” said Dan Triana, spokesman for the DOT. Therefore, the timeline and cost are still unknown.

The state is expecting to put the project out to bid in late 2017, with work to start in early 2018, he said.

The work is not expected to change the traffic patterns of Route 9, he said.

Mayors of towns along Route 9 have been pushing for widening or reconfiguring Route 9 so traffic can move more smoothly and safely.

Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato said he welcomed the repaving, in the hopes that it will make a better ride for residents and the business community. It’s a small step in the right direction, but Route 9 still needs a lot more work before all of the community’s needs are addressed.

“They’ve been a good partner with us,” Lacey Mayor Peter Curatolo said, but he hadn’t heard of this particular project when interviewed about it recently.

“We would be notified if they are going to break ground, not necessarily if they are going to fix potholes,” he said.

He had hoped the work wouldn’t be done during the busy summer months, he said.

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

Are You Tired Of Hearing?

People with perfectly normal hearing are able to hear and understand much of the sound around them automatically. They do not have to get help from lip reading. They do not have to concentrate. They do not have to stop what they are doing. They just hear. Someone with a hearing loss does not have the luxury of automatic hearing. If you have a hearing loss, you have to pay close attention, use lip reading when you can and concentrate. Hearing and understanding do not happen automatically. Hearing takes attention and energy and you just can’t do it 12 or 14 hours a day.

Hearing aids allow you to hear better and that is great. But it may be just as important that hearing aids allow you to hear with less effort and energy. They allow you to be more relaxed as you communicate with the people around you.

Of course, you cannot listen carefully fulltime and there will be times when you do not hear as well as other times. You may not hear as well if you are tired, under stress or

you are thinking about something else. That is why we suggest that anyone speaking to you gets your attention before speaking. On the other hand, if you are ready and if you are paying attention, you can hear better than you really want to. You just can not do it full time.

Actually, many people with hearing loss are able to hear and communicate surprisingly well in spite of hearing only 50 or 60 percent of the speech sounds. But, we live in a very demanding hearing world and sometimes anything less than 80 to 90 percent is just not good enough. If someone tells you, “Okay, I will see you on the 15th,” and you hear “Okay, I will see you on the 16th,” it was not enough to hear most of the message. So the next time someone says “you can hear me when you really want to,” you can correct them: “No, you mean I can hear you when I really work at it.”

Remember, if have hearing loss, hearing takes attention and energy. You can do it 12 to 14 hours a day.

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. Expanded Whiting Hours!

Bartley Healthcare Earns The Embracing Quality Award

JACKSON – Bartley Healthcare Nursing and Rehabilitation’s latest recognition is the accreditation in Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI). With that accreditation, Bartley has received the Embracing Quality Award for 2016.

Bartley has partnered with quality care leader Providigm, a developer and champion of quality assessment methods and measures for post-acute and long-term care facilities that tracks outstanding performances in those areas. The Providigm Embracing Quality Awards for 2016 reflect excellence based on three performance measures during the calendar year of 2016. Bartley Healthcare has received an award in at least one of three categories, which include: Deficiency-Free Survey, Readmission Prevention and Customer Satisfaction.

The Providigm philosophy of Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) is integral to the Embracing Quality Awards.

Only organizations that have achieved Basic or Advanced QAPI Accreditation are eligible for an award to ensure that systems are in place to continue providing the same caliber

of care. QAPI is essential for sustained high performance.

Embracing Quality Awardees are determined based on absolute criteria for extremely high performance. Providigm believes that an extremely high bar can be defined for all to strive to achieve. Given how few organizations were able to meet the Embracing Quality award criteria, there is no question that as award winners, Bartley is a leading group.

For over 31 years, Bartley Healthcare has provided quality individual focused skilled nursing, rehabilitation and assisted living services for residents on its 25-acre campus in Jackson. Founded in 1985, Bartley Healthcare has long been recognized as an award winning, quality leader with the experience in skilled nursing, post-acute care and assisted living, having been listed by U.S. News & World Report as one of America’s Best Nursing Homes.

SHORE FOOT CARE

DR. B. MEYERBERG Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Some Pharmacists Are Losers And Some Are Heroes

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. About 100 years ago, during Prohibition, apothecaries were the place to hang out since the neighborhood bars had closed. The corner drugstore was where people traded “hard” liquor in for “soft” drinks and it was also a time when pharmacists were actual chemists blending herbals and medicinals all day long. Did you know Coca Cola syrup was invented by pharmacist John Pemberton back in 1886 in Atlanta, Georgia?

Fast forward to today where Coca Cola is a global smash, and medications are commercially prepared by multi-billion dollar corporations, not people. Some have said the pharmacist’s role is more along the lines of “lick, stick and pour.” Ah, but that’s just a saying.

Oregon and New Mexico just signed into law a bill that allows pharmacists to prescribe and dispense birth control pills to women straight out of the pharmacy, without an on-site physical exam or lab work. This may sound weird to you, but the precedent was set years ago when pharmacists were granted prescribing rights to administer certain flu vaccines.

The ability for pharmacists to prescribe contraception saves valuable time and money for all parties involved, but it does beg the question: Which prescription drugs are going to one day be put on the “allowed to be prescribed” formulary?

And in regard to birth control pills, are the pharmacists (or any prescriber) advising women to supplement with what their medication will deplete? ‘The Pill’ reduces your magnesium, selenium and crucial B vitamins which can contribute to you feeling depressed, overweight, hypothyroid

and tired. I suggest you put back what the “Drug Mugger” stole.

Pharmacists have once more been distinguished as one of the most honest, ethical professionals in the United States. But some pharmacists give the practice a bad name. For example, this past June Massachusetts pharmacist Barry Cadden was sentenced to nine years in prison because he compounded injectable steroids that were contaminated, which led to the deaths of 76 people in 2012.

Contrast that with the quick-thinking pharmacist who just saved 57-year-old Mark Davey’s life. Mark was eating lunch, and out of the blue, his tongue started to swell up. He drove himself to CVS Pharmacy to buy Benadryl, but when he arrived he began gasping. Pharmacist Bhavini Patel was working that day, and she called paramedics, and then injected Mark with the drug EpiPen (epinephrine) from her pharmacy in an attempt to save his life. It worked! Mark was experiencing an “anaphylactic” allergy to his food and she knew it.

I applaud Pharmacist Patel, she is a true hero. Even though it may have possibly gone against store policy to administer the shot, she did what she felt was right and compassionate to save this man’s life.

How awesome?! Mark is alive because pharmacists are not just there to lick, stick and pour. We are healers by nature and interested in getting you well. I wish I could go back in time and own one of those apothecaries where I could create amazing custom-blended natural remedies, as well as fizzy soft drinks around my “neighborhood bar.”

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Workers’ Compensation Basics

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea of R.C. Shea and Associates

In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specifically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act. Primarily, should your injury require medical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for reasonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau. In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered.

In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insurance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to 70 percent of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sustained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner.

Should permanent effects of your injury remain after achieving a medical plateau, you may be entitled to benefits to compensate for those permanent effects. This is based on a statutory value determined according to the part of your body which was injured and the permanent residuals of your treatment and injury. This process progresses after your physician has returned you to gainful employment. In the event that you are deemed medically unable to return to work, you may be entitled to total disability benefits.

The questions often arises, “What happens if I am injured during Christopher R. Shea Esq. the course of my duties as a volunteer for a municipality?” It has been determined that volunteer firefighters, first aid or rescue squad workers, ambulance drivers, forest fire wardens or firefighters, board of education members and auxiliary or special reserve police officers are provided for within the Workers’ Compensation Act in New Jersey.

Although, as a volunteer as listed above one would not have been compensated for the acts performed within the scope of that position, if injured while performing those duties, and medically unable to work, you would be entitled to compensation at the maximum rate for the year of that injury. Furthermore, the injured volunteer is entitled to reasonable and necessary medical treatment as if an employee. In the event that the volunteer suffers permanent residuals from the injury in question, the volunteer would also have the right to seek payment for those residuals, the same as if a paid employee.

The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates 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, Wills, Trusts and Powers of Attorney.

BUSINESS PROFILE DISCOUNT TIRE CENTER

By Robert Verderese Tires are one of the most important components of your car.

They are responsible for how your vehicle handles various road conditions that come your way. You might not truly appreciate your tires until you fi nd yourself getting a fl at or a blow out, but that’s where Discount Tire Center of Tom River comes in. Operated by Rich, alongside master technicians with over 40 years combined experience, Discount Tire has been offering the best quality tires at the lowest prices since 1985 and will always treat you with courtesy and professionalism.

Are you one of those people who never pay attention to your tires? If so, you are not alone.

But did you know ignoring your tires can potentially bring about a major safety issue. Why? Because tires are your vehicle’s only contact with the road.

It doesn’t matter how good of an engine your vehicle has, how well it is built, what speed and acceleration it has, in the end it all comes down to tires and how they can alter your automobile’s performance on the road. Not only should you pay attention to your tires, but you should learn the difference between good tires and bad tires— between cheap tires and quality tires!

Yo u r automobile tires can

literally make or break your driving experience and your family’s safety, so it is critical that you choose your tires wisely! At Discount Tire, Rich and his team will see to it that your tires are the right fi t for you, your vehicle and your budget: “We house an inventory of over 2000 tires at all times, which means you can count on us to almost always have exactly the right tires for you at any given time,” Rich explains.

And unlike other tire chains, Discount Tire doesn’t stock off-brands or seconds: “Our tire rack is only fi lled with world class tire brands, such as Michelin, Good Year, BF Goodrich and Pirelli,” says Rich.

Additionally, by virtue of the high volume of tires that they sell, Discount Tire is able to maintain lower prices than their competitors. So therein lies the simple formula to Discount Tires phenomenal success—to provide the highest quality tires to their customers at the lowest price.

Given their success, it is no wonder that many other tire and auto shop establishments have desperately tried to imitate Discount Tire, even going so far as to use their name. But Rich and his team don’t let that bother them. They believe in that old adage that ‘imitation is the highest form of flattery’ and therefore feel complimented by their competitors—while all along knowing that though others have used their name and practices—there is only one Discount Tire Center!

For many of us, our knowledge of tires begins and ends with the fact that they are black, round and have a hole in the middle. But the reality is

that tire technology has really gained traction in recent years.

The professionals at Discount tires are acutely aware of this and that is why they research tire ratings exhaustively to ensure that they are equipped with the knowledge to best serve their customers. Rich sheds light on the subject in the following way: “The tires they are making today go way beyond what season it is or what type of vehicle you are driving. You can think of today’s tires as multitaskers—responsible for transmitting the forces of grip, driving, steering and braking to the surface of the road.”

Knowing that your automobile and your time are very important, Discount Tire can install a set of 4 tires on your vehicle in approximately 30 minutes. “We are proud to be Home of the 30-Minute Tire Exchange. We

want our customer ’s tire buying and maintenance experience to be as seamless and enjoyable as possible,” says Rich. By providing speedy, exc e l l e nt s e r v i c e coupled with the lowest prices in tow n, D i sc o unt Tire always strives to meet and surpass their customer’s expectations.

When it comes to tires, routine maintenance is also extremely important. This includes proper inflation so your tires don’t wear prematurely; regular rotation to ensure maximum longevity for your tires; proper alignment for enhanced performance, and other tried and tested techniques. As an added bonus, proper maintenance of your tires will also improve your gas mileage and most importantly!—provide optimal safety for you and your family.

Plus, when you purchase tires from Discount Tires, you will receive free mounting, balancing, valve stems and tire disposal. Moreover, they offer coupons and discounts on a regular basis as a way to say thank you to their customers.

Rich says of his customers in this way: “We really value our customers, many of whom we know on a first name basis.

We treat all of our customers like our own family members.

We enjoy building longstanding relationships with them.”

A commitment to serve the

needs of their customers and the community at large is perhaps most aptly illustrated by Discount Tire Center’s insistence on opening their doors the morning after Super Storm Sandy hit our area: “We were ready for the storm and had all of our equipment operating on generators. We felt compelled to help and serve our community in its time of greatest need.

By getting their vehicles back on the road, we took great pride in providing support and comfort for our neighbors in such a trying time,” Rich recalls.

Discount Tire Center is also a full-service auto repair shop, offering a variety of automotive repair services, including prevent at ive maintenanc e, brakes, shocks, exhaust systems, wheel alignments and more.

So come into Discount Tire Center for a quote on an automotive repair service, or schedule an appointment with them today! You can reach them at 732-270-6700 or via their website at DiscountTireNJ.com.

They are conveniently located at 1406 Route 37 East in Toms River next to the Taco Bell.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

A Pesky Neighbor In The Garden

Dear Joel, I love gardening and take great pride in my yard. It’s a peaceful time and I look forward to working in the yard, but I have a neighbor who thinks she is a judge in the county fair. She has plenty of gardening tips and is always telling me what I should do and what I’m doing wrong. One time she even came over and pulled my weeds when I was out. Please help me from digging a hole and pushing her in it?

Weeded Out in Toms River

garden. They describe it as a spiritual experience, being around nature and watching living things grow leaf by leaf and inch by inch.

Go Nuts! Cashew ‘Cream’ Sauce Is The Highlight Of This Vegan Dish

By Wolfgang Puck Most people today understand what it means to be vegetarian, avoiding meats, poultry or seafood in their diets. In fact, the ever-rising popularity of farmers’ markets makes it possible for more and more food lovers to consider themselves at least part-time vegetarians, enjoying the pleasures and health benefits of meals without animal proteins at least several times a week.

Widespread familiarity with vegetarianism has, in turn, led to more particular choices when it comes to the foods we eat. There are lacto-vegetarians, who include dairy products in plant-based diets; ovo-vegetarians, who eat eggs; and, of course, lacto-ovo-vegetarians.

Pescatarians - fish-eaters won’t eat any other animals - deserve a mention, too.

Then there’s the most observant vegetarian category of all: vegans, who avoid any animal products whatsoever. That means no butter, no cheese, no milk, no eggs - nothing at all derived from animals. And you find that more and more people interested in healthy eating today follow strictly vegan diets, with celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow, New England Patriots superstar quarterback Tom Brady, and Brady’s supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen all touting the health benefits of strictly plant-based nutrition.

With veganism gaining an ever-higher profile, it’s only natural that my chefs and I get more and more frequent requests for vegan dishes. Now, you might think that we’d find it challenging to prepare delicious, even luxurious-tasting food following such restrictions. But, in fact, more and more products are widely available that make vegan cooking not only possible but actually a pleasure.

You can find vegan “cheeses” and even vegan cultured “butter” spreads made from nuts and oils, for example. And it’s also possible in your own kitchen to prepare “cream” sauces based on nuts, which turn wonderfully smooth and rich when pureed in a blender, leading many people who sample the results to doubt that a dish made in this way doesn’t include dairy.

Don’t just take my word for it, either. Instead, try the following authentic-tasting Italian recipe, which was developed by my team at Wolfgang Puck Catering. It features fresh gnocchi, the traditional bite-sized potato-and-flour pasta dumplings, which you can find vacuum-packaged and ready to cook in the refrigerated section of many well-stocked supermarkets and in Italian delis. If you want to make sure you’re being strictly vegan, check the ingredients listed on the package and select a brand that doesn’t include eggs. You’ll also want to look for a store-bought, dairy-free Parmesan cheese. Roasted cashew nuts, pureed in a food processor, are the source of the rich-tasting, garlicky “cream” sauce.

You and your family and friends may find it hard to believe this easy, delicious recipe is actually vegan. And you may realize you’re

one step closer to following a plant-based diet yourselves!

VEGAN GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOMS, GARLIC AND CASHEW CREAM SAUCE Serves 4 For the gnocchi: 1 12- to-16-ounce (380-500g) package fresh gnocchi 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3 quarts (3 L) cultivated mushrooms, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) slices 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 sprig fresh thyme For the cashew cream sauce: 1/2 cup (125 mL) raw cashews, roasted in a 350 F (175 C) oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes 1 1/4 cups (310 mL) water 1/2 cup (125 mL) good-quality canned vegetable stock or broth To assemble: Nonstick cooking spray 3 garlic cloves, minced 1/4 cup (60 mL) store-bought grated vegan Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon salt Chopped fresh chives, for serving Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi following manufacturer’s instructions.

Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic and thyme, and saute, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms begin to turn golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the thyme sprig and set the mushrooms aside.

Put the cashews and water in a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade. Process until the nuts form a smooth paste, stopping as necessary to scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add half of the sauteed mushrooms and process again until smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed.

Transfer the puree to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with a whisk. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook until thick and creamy, about 1 minute, adding a little of the vegetable stock if necessary to thin it to coating consistency.

To prepare the gnocchi for serving, heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the cashew cream sauce, gnocchi, remaining sauteed mushrooms, grated Parmesan, pepper and salt; cook until thoroughly heated through.

Spoon the gnocchi, mushrooms and sauce into individual heated serving bowls or plates.

Garnish with chives and more Parmesan and serve immediately.
