headed by minor league baseball veteran Art Matin, has reached an agreement to acquire the operating interest in the BlueClaws. The group includes local investors Bob Tamashunas and Bill Luby. Lakewood is the Philadelphia Phillies’ low Class A affiliate which competes in the South Atlantic League. The BlueClaws, who began play in 2001 and came to Lakewood from Cape Fear, N.C., in January of 2000, had one previous ownership group, American Baseball Ventures. The public face of the ABV was Joseph Finley, whose organization owns the Trenton Thunder, the New York Yankees’ Double A farm team which plays in the Eastern League. “This opportunity with the BlueClaws is certainly very exciting for all of us,” Matin, 60, a Brooklyn, N.Y., resident said
Knights Change Fundraising To Support Kids’ Camp Program
By Bob Vosseller BRICK – Members of the Knights of Columbus Council #8160 are look ing at new ways of fundraising for their annual support
of a children’s summer camp program due to business closures and other changes which have limited their ability to raise money. The township ser-
vice organization has devoted its time and energy for 30 years toward organizing a massive field day for disabled children as part of a program called
B.A.S.E. (Behavior Academic Social Experience) Camp. The summer program is for challenged children and coordinated by the (Knights - See Page 4)

Large Groups To Need Permits By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – In response to residents’ complaints about large groups of people showing up and taking over township pa rk s a nd b e a che s without a permit, the gover ning body has proposed an amendment that tightens the restrictions to an existing ordinance. “Our current ordinance precludes groups of 15 or more from being dropped off by passenger van or bus,” explained Mayor John G. Ducey during the July 25 council meeting. “However, these groups are avoiding [getting a permit] by dropping people off several blocks away and
having them walk to the park or the beach.” There have been reports of unpermitted groups exceeding 100 who arrive at the park or beach at one time, and because of their sheer volume, take over the area, Ducey said. Large groups of people crossing Princeton Avenue, Mantoloking Road and/or Route 35 create an unsafe situation, and the amended ordinance does away with the drop-off provision, Ducey said. The amended ordinance defines the number of people needing a permit to 15 or more, and does away with the method of how they got there as part of the (Park - See Page 5)
Brick Schools Deal With Aid Cuts
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – The school administration was forced to revise the 2017-2018 school year budget after getting word that the district would be receiving a $720,507 reduction in state aid. On March 2, 2017, the NJ Department of Education (DOE) said Brick would receive $36,249,310 in state aid, but on July 14, the district was notified that that number had been cut to $35,528,803. School districts that were affected by the loss of state aid had the option of “using surplus to maintain their budget appropriations or reduce (Aid Cuts - See Page 8)

Knights:
Continued From Page 1 township school district. “We will be doing it again this year for the 31st year and it is for disabled people as young as pre-school and a little past 18 years old,” former Grand Knight John Crousio said. Crosio has been involved with the program for the last 12 years and is one of the coordinators of this year’s effort. Crosio added that more than 40 aides and teachers from the school district support the summer program. Crosio said that this year’s program is expected to draw around 409 children. It began on July 5 and ran until Aug. 3. “The township runs the program and we provide
food and entertainment during the July 26 track and field day held at Brick High School. We provide juice, water, snacks, chicken nuggets, hamburgers, ice cream and fruit.” On the last day of the camp, the Knights hosted a pizza party which will include an awards program, T-shirts, entertainment and pizza. “We will have a DJ group called Greased Lightning made up of four young men who are challenged themselves but are very talented. We expect to provide at least 94 pizzas and a good time. Some of these kids are autistic, some have Down syndrome, and some have psychological problems but they need a good time too,” Crosio said. In the last several years the Knights have

found it more difficult to fundraise for their two special events that are part of BASE Camp. The Knights previously solicited donations outside local supermarkets but when the township Pathmark and A&P closed that avenue of fundraising ended. “We weren’t the only group hurt by the closure of the supermarkets. The Girl Scouts, Little Leagues and football teams also raised money in front of those stores,” Crosio said. Another big fundraiser for the summer program came from the sale of funnel cakes at the annual Brick Summerfest. When the governing body eliminated allowing service organizations to sell food and put food services out to public bid that ended that revenue source. Worse yet, it left the organization with a funnel cake machine it could no longer use. “In 2005 the recreation director at the time thought that non-profits could handle the food at Summerfest,” Mayor John Ducey said. Ducey and the current members of the governing body were not on the council at that time. “The Knights offered funnel cakes and some other groups – Kiwanis and Ladies Auxiliary – sold other things like grilled food and French fries,” Ducey said, adding that the township received complaints from Summerfest attendees “that the food wasn’t cooked or even hot and there wasn’t
enough of it.” Ducey said that this system was tried for two summers and six total shows before pulling the plug and going with outside food vendors. “The non-profits are not excluded and are actually encouraged to put in bids during the process. None have done so to date perhaps because of the requirements as to the volume of food, timeliness, etc.,” the mayor said. Ducey praised BASE camp saying it “is an excellent program where the students are thought of first. The activities work on the student’s social skills as well as academic and vocational skills. The campers are encouraged to use their imagination and creativity with the hopes of them enjoying themselves while learning skills to be successful in all aspects of their life. This program is definitely something that all of Brick Township can be proud of.” The Knights are now using a GoFundMe effort to raise funds. “This has helped us. We have raised $900 so far and we hope to raise more. We’ve been able to solicit at Walmart in Brick, who have been terrific as well as at Jersey Farms and The Church of Epiphany on Herbertsville Road,” Crosio said. For now, the Knights are also asking members of the community to make donations to help keep the Knight’s two days of fun at the camp, alive.

Park:
Continued From Page 1 violation, he said. “The simple act of a large group taking over one of our parks without a permit is the violation,” the mayor said. Groups who want to use township parks for events or parties must apply for a permit application from the township Recreation Department. The law would be enforced by code enforcement or the police, and the fine would not exceed $2,000. Ducey said that while on the subject of parks, in early July, the township started a new parks security detail, where parttime employees inspect the parks in the off-hours, 4-11 p.m., and on weekends to address any inappropriate behavior. Also, the township has received a $1 million Green Acres Grant, and in a resolution, the council approved the amount to be inserted into the budget to help fund a multi-park improvement project that includes the renovations at Hank Waltonowski Park, Birchwood Park and Bayside Park. And fi nally, Mayor Ducey proclaimed July 26 “Jake Lakatos Day” after the Brick teen participated in the Maccabiah Games in Jerusalem, Israel, and whose team brought home the gold medal in ice hockey.
The Brick Times, August 5, 2017, Page 5 “The township of Brick has produced a number of ice hockey players who have competed at the highest levels of the sport, and one such player is goaltender Jake Lakatos, who played high school hockey for Brick Township High School and junior league hockey with the Philadelphia Junior Flyers elite team Eastern Hockey League,” he said. Lakatos, 18, was selected to represent the United States this summer at the Maccabiah Games, which is an international multi-sport event for Jewish athletes that takes place every four years, similar to the Olympics. Over 10,000 athletes competed in 43 different sports, which makes the Maccabiah games the third-largest international sporting event in the entire world, Ducey said. “Thanks in a large part to Jake, Team USA was undefeated, beat Team Canada three times and became the first ice hockey team from the United States to ever bring home the gold medal from the games,” he said. Not only was Jake chosen for the team, but he was a starter, and he was named MVP for the gold medal game, the mayor said. “So it’s an unbelievable athlete we have here in our midst,” Ducey said. The next council meeting will be on Tuesday, August 8 at 7 p.m.

BlueClaws:
Continued From Page 1 prior to the group’s first game as the team’s owners. “Our ownership group is made up of people who love the game of baseball, have extensive experience in owning minor league baseball franchises and bring local knowledge and commitment to the table. We look forward to continuing the tradition of providing fun, family entertainment and exciting professional baseball for decades to come here on the Jersey Shore. I have always admired the previous BlueClaws ownership group. I thank them for working with us on this opportunity and congratulate them on 17 terrific seasons with the team. “The BlueClaws are an established and successful franchise with a talented and committed staff. We look forward to working together to identify ways we can make an already excellent fan base even better. We also look forward to continuing the BlueClaws’ tradition of being a strong partner in the community. We’re excited to hear from our fans and learn what they like most about coming to BlueClaws games.” Tamashunas, a Rumson resident, said he has attended approximately 15-20 Lakewood games. “We are local,” he said. “We have a good understanding of the importance of this franchise to the community,” he said. “My family and I have always wanted to come back. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Art is one of the more respected executives in all of minor league baseball and it has all come together. This is an opportunity we really could not pass up.” Asked how much Shore Town Baseball paid for the BlueClaws, Matin said, “We can’t disclose that.” Matin said there are several reasons for the purchase of Lakewood, a 6-2 loser to the Hickory (N.C) Crawdads, a Texas Rangers affiliate, in front of an announced crowd of 6,645 fans. “We know a lot about the BlueClaws,” he said “They are very appealing to us. The fan support is tremendous. And there is the opportunity to partner with the Phillies. There is a good strategic location from the marketing and player development standpoints.” “I am especially excited as a Jersey Shore resident and lifelong Phillies fan to be a part of this ownership group with the BlueClaws,” Tamashunas said. “I know full well that the BlueClaws are a great asset for the Jersey Shore community and look forward to our fans and partners enjoying the BlueClaws experience in the coming years.” “Our nearly two decades with the BlueClaws were gratifying and enjoyable in every way,” said Finley, a New Hope, Pa. resident and an attorney. “I’ve known Art Matin for a decade and with the new ownership group and the talented team of people on the staff the BlueClaws are in very capable hands. We wish the team, fans and sponsors nothing but the best.” The BlueClaws will remain in the Phillies’ system. The two signed a new Player Development Contract last year. It will run through at least the 2020 season. “We are thrilled to welcome Art, Bob, Bill and Shore Town Baseball to the Phillies’ family,” Philadelphia president Andy MacPhail said. “Their passion for the game is outstanding and we know they will do a great job leading the BlueClaws and supporting the Phillies,
our young players and coaches. I’d also like to thank Joe Finley and the rest of the outgoing ownership group for 17 great years together in Lakewood. We would also like to express our appreciation to all the fans who have supported the team over the years.” Chris Tafrow, a Toms River High School East graduate who began this season as Lakewood’s general manager, is employed in the marketing department at Rutgers University. Lakewood is in search of a general manager. “We hope to have an announcement before the end of this season,” Matin said. “We’re looking for someone who has meaningful experience in minor league baseball. We want someone who is very good with fans and sponsors and is dedicated to driving a great experience for fans and sponsors.” There is a chance that Lakewood’s home games will be televised live. “I don’t know,” Matin said. “It’s something we are going to look into. We will learn what it takes to make that happen.” Matin said the ownership group will be based in Lakewood. “We won’t have a special office,” he said. “We will use the park.” Matin said he met with the team’s ushers Thursday night. “I received a great vibe,” he said. “I met with as many ushers as I could and thanked them for what they do and for being a part of the team.” Matin was previously the Chief Executive Officer of Mandaly Baseball Properties, which owned and operated nine separate franchises over its existence, including the Dayton, Oh., Dragons (Cincinnati Reds Class A), the Oklahoma City RedHawks (Houston Astros Triple A), Frisco Rough Riders (Frisco, Tx., Texas Rangers Double A), the Scranton (Pa.) Wilkes-Barre Rail Riders (Triple A), the Hagerstown, Md., Suns (Washington Nationals, South Atlantic League), the Las Vegas 51s (Los Angeles Dodgers Triple A) and the Staten Island, N.Y., Yankees (short-season Class A). This followed a successful career in the technology industry that included senior positions at IBM, McAfee Security, and Veritas. He also served as chairman of MiLB’s Baseball Internet Rights Company from 2010-14. “I have been in baseball for 20 years,” Matin said. “When I got into professional baseball, my wife said, ‘Finally a product you can understand.’ “ Luby, a Fair Haven resident, and Tamashunas are partners at Seaport Capital, a private equity firm that has a history of investing in minor league baseball through its majority ownership of Mandalay Baseball Properties. “Not lost on us is minor league baseball’s perfect combination of affordable family entertainment and terrific professional baseball,” Matin said. “It’s a ton of fun. We want to make sure people have a lot of fun and a terrific experience.” Matin is a graduate of Albany, N.Y., High School where he played baseball. “My baseball career was appropriately short,” said Matin, who graduated from the University of Rochester and the University of Chicago. “I was not very good. I played third base. I had no range and an erratic arm. I had a decent bat. I love the game. I am a lifelong fan. I have seen games in all 30 major league stadiums and my wife went with me to many of them. I have been to countless minor league stadiums.” (BlueClaws - See Page 8)

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
FEATURED LETTER State Should Fix Bus Shelters
(This letter was sent to the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Transportation.) On behalf of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the residents of Ocean County, I am requesting immediate attention to the deplorable condition of numerous bus shelters throughout the county. As you are aware, Ocean County has one of the highest commuter populations in New Jersey. The purpose of the bus shelter is to provide our hard working citizens protection against the weather and a safe space to assemble while waiting for their bus. Many of the shelters in Ocean County are in poor condition, creating both a safety hazard and blight upon
the community in which they are located. Ocean County is also a premier destination for tourists. Our boardwalks, beaches, amusement parks, and recreational activities have collectively drawn hundreds of thousands of people to Ocean County during the summer season. It is unconscionable that residents and tourists alike must see these unsightly shelters. I urge your office to perform an inventory of the shelters in Ocean County and fix those shelters that have fallen into disrepair. I thank you for your courtesies in this matter and for your anticipated cooperation. Joseph Vicari Ocean County Freeholder Director

Treat The Whole Patient, Mind And Body In testimony submitted to a joint legislative committee this week, I outlined the Christie Administration’s goal to create a patient-centered system of care that would treat the “whole person” in the same setting and no longer cordon off mental and behavioral services from the rest of medical care. Mental and substance use disorder health care should not be treated any differently than chronic diseases like diabetes or heart disease although, at times, the health care providers may be different. Helping healthy New Jerseyans stay well, preventing those individuals at risk from getting sick, and keeping those individuals with chronic health conditions from becoming sicker—what we call Population Health—is a key focus not only for the New Jersey Department of Health, but also for our health care and community partners around the State. Considering one of the main missions of the department is Population Health, it is impossible to meet the needs of all New Jerseyans by focusing only on their physical health. Mental illness and addictions can influence the onset, progression, and outcome of other illnesses and often correlates with health risk behaviors. The CDC estimates that half of American adults will develop a mental illness during their lifetime, that in any given year, 25% of
Letters To The Editor American adults experience physical, mental and addic- will benefit from having their a mental disorder, and that 1 in 17 American adults lives with a serious mental illness. A CDC report found chronic diseases including diabetes, obesity, and cardiac disease, are associated with mental illness. Similarly, people who suffer from addiction also tend to have one or more co-occurring health issues - chronic diseases; infectious diseases; or mental disorders. A public health crisis in Indiana serves as a recent example of how addiction can lead to further illness. An increase in injection of opioids caused HIV and hepatitis outbreaks in rural Indiana in 2015—leading their governor to declare a public health emergency. Health experts predict the lifetime cost of treatment for those individuals impacted could reach $58 million. Likewise, ensuring that pregnant women who use substances find the help they need to deliver a healthy baby is another critical area where physical and behavioral health care intersect. Many frequent users of Emergency Departments have behavioral health conditions. Appropriate community-based care of their total health needs can reduce reliance on expensive hospital-based care, according to a 2016 study by Seton Hall Law School. The transition to designate the Department of Health as the single state agency to perform the administrative and operational functions of mental health and addiction services will expedite the important integration of

tions health management. As the state’s public health agency, the Department can identify risk factors, increase awareness about behavioral health and the effectiveness of treatment, reduce health disparities, and remove the stigma that prevents people from seeking and receiving the care they need. In rural Tennessee, Cherokee Health Systems has become a national model for integrating primary care and behavioral health services at 22 Federally Qualified Health Care Center sites. A behavioral health care team is embedded in its primary care practice, and its success has been recognized by the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. A study of Cherokee’s interdisciplinary team approach by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Tennessee found a 68% decrease in emergency room visits, a 32% decrease in referrals to specialists, and an overall 22% reduction in cost. Recognizing the need for better integration, we have already granted a waiver allowing community health centers licensed by the Department to add behavioral health in shared clinical space. This reorganization will allow us to take the next steps to ensure the on-going integration of care. There is no question that the task ahead is challenging, and we understand the concerns that have been articulated. But this reorganization is the first step in advancing a new system of integrated care. As part of this transition, the Department will gain the expertise of the management team and staff who work in and supervise the psychiatric hospitals and oversee hundreds of mental health and substance use disorder contracts. This expertise will add to the Department’s long history of distributing $1.5 billion in community grants annually. Creating a more efficient and coordinated system that treats the whole person is the right move for New Jersey and especially for patients who
behavioral and physical needs met in the same hospital clinic or community health center. Cathleen D. Bennett Commissioner of the NJ Department of Health
Where Are Stories About Immigrants Stealing Jobs? Why is the media bombarding us with heart wrenching stories of illegal immigrants facing deportation? On the hardships they and their families are facing? Where were and are the stories of the American families who were affected by them coming here long ago? Americans lost jobs or had to work for lower wages because they were competing with these people who were willing to work for less. Some of these American families probably couldn’t make ends meet, couldn’t send their children to college, couldn’t pay medical bills, lost homes, and some probably broke up or couldn’t even get started. Where I lived the illegals hung in front of Home Depot stealing construction and other labor intensive jobs. Then the town built a muster zone where they could wait for contractors to pick them up. Then the town started bus routes to pick them up around town and take them to the muster zone and industrial park. I guess you can work cheap when you live in overcrowded housing and get free transportation. I know these events were replicated in other New Jersey towns and I would guess in other states as well. They took construction, cleaning, landscaping, factory and kitchen jobs. Then started families and the media only focuses on them. Many Americans would have done these jobs for a living wage. They knew the risk, they caused hardships for Americans. Now that the laws are being enforced the media is only focusing on their families and completely ignoring the rest of the story. Harold B. VanArsdale Whiting

BlueClaws:
Continued From Page 6 Matin said he has attended 5-10 Lakewood games at FirstEnergy Park. “It is in great shape,” he said. “It has all of the amenities that parks built in the last couple of years don’t have. We want to make investments and make it better. We are looking at certain aspects of the stadium and the fan experience. We have a long laundry list of ideas to enhance the fan experience. “We have a lot of connecting projects. We have the opportunity to learn more from the fan base and stakeholders of the team. Some fans may say we need new picnic tables. Other fans might say we need a new Kids Zone.” Tamashunas graduated from Holmdel High School, competing in baseball and boys soccer for the Hornets. He resided in Middletown and worked in New York City. “Holmdel is where my baseball career ended,” he said with a smile. The SAL, which utilizes a split-season format, marks the first full professional season for the majority of its players. The Phillies supply Lakewood with its players, manager, coaches, strength and conditioning staff and the medical staff. Philadelphia pays their salaries. Lakewood won the league title in 2006, 2009 and 2010. Numerous major league players have come through Lakewood. They include former Phil-
Aid Cuts:
Continued From Page 1 appropriations.” The Brick Board of Education voted to do both: as a result of discussions held between the administration and Board members, some $361,934 of surplus would be utilized, and appropriations would be reduced by $358,573 to make up for the reduction of state aid. Business administrator James Edwards and acting superintendent Dennis Filippone met with each of the board members one-on-one to go over the cuts, said Board of Education President John Lamela. “We worked hard on the budget for July 1, and the state cutting that budget after July 1...I don’t have words,” Lamela said during a special meeting held on July 27. The DOE notice required districts with revised state aid to hold a public meeting no later than August 1 to address the reduction.
7 Million Tickets Sold Rob Merten, 17, of Clark, saw Lakewood play at the stadium for the first time on July 27. His visit was more than just a memory for him. It was an entry into the team’s history books. He was named the team’s seven millionth fan. “It’s pretty cool, pretty exciting,” said Merten, the 222nd fan to enter the stadium at FirstEnergy Park. It was for a regular-season home
game. “I was walking in and I had no idea it was happening. All of a sudden, everyone is yelling and cheering and taking my picture. Plus, it’s a milestone for the team and it’s pretty cool to be a part of that.” Merten’s father, Robert, said the family attended the game for a corporate event with Service Corporation International. The family viewed the game from a private box behind home plate and from a picnic area. Other family members on hand were Rob Merten’s sister, Amanda, and Robert Merten’s wife, Donna. “We see them (team workers) with a megaphone and we have no clue what’s going on,” Robert Merten said. “I see them counting down the fans and I said, ‘This could be us.’ I was only here one other time when a nephew, Tom LaTorre, played in a game involving his traveling team.” “I did not really know what was happening until I walked through,” Rob Merten said. “My father was sure it was going to be him, but it ended up being me.” Rob Merten, a rising senior at Arthur L. Johnson High School in Clark, received Lakewood tickets and a personal parking spot for the 2018 home season, a team item signed by Lakewood players, a seven-millionth fan Lakewood jersey and waiter-waitress service Thursday night. He threw out the ceremonial first pitch Thursday night. He wore the jersey and a smile Thursday night. “I kept hearing someone shouting, ‘30 (sec-
onds left), 25 (seconds) left,’ “ he said. “I walked through the gate and everyone was asking me my name and taking my picture. I have never won anything big in my life.” Rob Merten, a New York Yankees fan, said he enjoyed the game and the experience. “It looks like they are doing pretty well in terms of them playing,” said Rob Merten, who competes in boys lacrosse, boys swimming, cross country and track in high school. “Nothing really needs to change. I had the classic feeling of sitting down, watching the game and eating hot dogs. There is nothing that I would want the ownership to change.” Lakewood is the fastest team in New Jersey and SAL history to attract seven millions fans to regular-season home games. The team has attracted 228,392 fans to FirstEnergy Park this year. The team has attracted 7,006,423 fans since coming to Lakewood, which has led New Jersey and the SAL in attendance each year since its 2001 inception. “Seven million is very exciting,” Matin said. “I feel it’s very cool. It’s a big number. The team is extremely well run. It was real exciting to watch that young man come through the gate.” FirstEnergy Park has played host to numerous community, entertainment and youth baseball events. “We will continue to use the stadium as fully as we can for community organizations,” Matin said. “We want to provide entertainment and youth baseball events.”
Afterwards, districts must submit “a narrative detailing the budget adjustment plan to be implemented,” that includes a worksheet of line items and accounts impacted by the plan, and a copy of the Board resolution adopting the plan. Edwards said that at the end of the DOE notice there was an indication that there was an “opportunity to make your case” through an appeals process. The notice says that districts that received notification of a reduction in general fund state aid, and are able to demonstrate fiscal distress, may apply for additional state assistance, read Edwards. “So we don’t really understand yet what that additional state assistance is, so if that’s yet to be determined...there’s no guidelines on it,” he said. “We’ve been asking, both myself and Mr. Filippone and Mr. Gialanella, who has been assisting us on this matter, we’re in constant communication with our legislative offices
and also with the DOE, trying to get guidance on that state assistance,” Edwards said. “We’ll continue pursuing that.” Some of the cuts include a reduction in spending for Child Study Team educational services equipment, which concerned board hopeful Jessica Clayton, who spoke during public comment. “Could you explain the cut to the Child Study Team, what that’s going to be, and how it’s going to affect our children with special needs?” she asked. Filippone said there would be no cuts to Child Study Team services or staff, but there would be savings by substituting the cost of the planned purchase of online program for IEPs and replacing it with a free program developed by David Kasyan, who is the new principal at Emma Havens Young Elementary School. Kasyan was most recently an assistant principal in Jackson. “Just in conversation...we were discussing the
program and [Kasyan] said that while at Jackson he had developed a similar online program using the Google platform, which our district is moving towards, and that he would be glad to share that with us and bring it to Brick,” Filippone explained. Board member Victoria Pakala said she appreciates all the cost savings in the different areas and putting off some priorities “that are just going to have to wait.” “I am concerned about safety and security issues, but there isn’t anything that I see on these cuts that would causing danger or insecure positions for our students, as long as we keep them as a priority for when funding may be restored - if it is restored,” she said. For a complete list of the revised budget, visit mms.brickschools.org, and then click on meeting agenda for the July 27 special meeting. The next Board of Education meeting will be on Tuesday, August 10 at 7 p.m. at Brick High School.
adelphia stars Cole Hamels and Ryan Howard, former Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz, New York Mets catcher Travis d’Arnaud and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher J.A. Happ. The BlueClaws entered the game with a 14-18 record during the second half the season. They were 54-48 overall. They narrowly missed out on a playoff berth during the first half of the season. Matin said the ownership group’s top priority is providing top entertainment in a family oriented atmosphere. “Winning is an added bonus,” he said. “We don’t have one iota of control in terms of whether the team wins. Dayton holds the record for consecutive sellouts in all of professional sports. It set the record of 815 in 2011 and the streak is still alive. It set the record despite not being very good on the field. It’s much more about the family atmosphere, the food, the fan experience, the parents, the grandparents and the kids. There is something for everyone in minor league baseball.”

ATM Skimmer Found In Point Pleasant Rite Aid
By Sara Grillo POINT PLEASANT – A skimming device was recently found on an ATM inside the Rite Aid on Bridge Avenue, according to Point Pleasant Police. Store management located a device installed on the ATM machine on July 24 and notified authorities. After an on-scene investigation, it was determined that the skimmer may have been put there on July 17, making anyone who used this particular ATM between July 17 and 24 vulnerable to fraud. Police suggest those individuals closely monitor their debit card activity over the next few months. If any suspicious or unauthorized activity is located on their accounts, they should contact the Point Pleasant Police Department to file a report. ATM skimming devices unlawfully collect debit card data and Personal Identification
Numbers (PINs) from people who use an ATM while the skimming device is installed. Many of these devices fit right over existing card readers and look like they are part of the machine. Often a pinhole camera is set up in view of the keypad so criminals can capture PIN numbers. To combat this threat, police advise debit cardholders to cover the keypad with one hand while entering their PIN number with the other hand. These devices are also typically set up by criminals in a matter of seconds, and can lead to loose or unsecure looking ATM parts. If the card reader or any part of the machine looks unsecure, do not use it and immediately notify the bank or the police. This is an ongoing investigation and anyone with information about the incident is advised to contact the Point Pleasant Police Department at 732-892-0060.

A NEW TREATMENT FOR JET LAG?
While our bodies adjust to the day/night cycle by virtue of our “biological clocks” that control “circadian rhythms,” jet travel can disrupt the sleep/wake cycle and cause sleep loss. Scientists know that light is the primary factor that influences our circadian rhythms, as signals from our retinas tell the body to (re)activate genes that control our biological clocks. More recently, researchers have come to understand the exact mechanism by which the retinas send signals to the biological clock. It seems that the retinas do so by expressing a naturally occurring neurohormone called “vasopressin,” which is also secreted by the pituitary gland. This fresh piece of information may open up new eye treatments that may more effectively fight “jet lag.” SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. offers attentive, thorough eye exams in a comfortable, professional environment. The comprehensive eye exams we conduct not only determine our patients need for vision correction but offer early detection and treatment of eye diseases. To schedule an appointment, please call 732-349-5622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

Point Pleasant Elks 23rd Annual Fluke Tournament Results
–Photo courtesy Point Pleasant Elks (Left) First Place winner in the power boat division Ron Knolmeyer of Howell, with a 9.6 pound fish. (Right) First Place winner in the power boat division William Pisurva of Lambertville, with a 9.6 pound fish. POINT PLEASANT – The weather for this year’s Point Pleasant Elks 23rd Annual Fluke Tournament was a little on the warm side, with clouds and sunshine throughout the day until the rain came early in the evening, causing the picnic to be cut short. The fishermen moved their boats out of the inlet at 6 a.m. on Saturday, July 22 and floated out into the ocean to drop their lines in anticipation of catching that largest Fluke that would win them a prize. There was a tie for First Place in this year’s Tournament in the power boat division with Ron Knolmeyer of Howell and William Pisuvra of Lambertville both catching a fish that weighed 9.6 pounds. Third Place went to Percival Reese of Bordentown, whose fish weighed 9 pounds. Fourth Place went to Mark Derrick of Flanders, whose fi sh weighed 8 pounds. Fifth Place went to Mike Pinadella of Ridgewood, whose fish weighed 7.1 pounds. Sixth Place went to John Meyer of Point Peasant, whose fish weighed 7 pounds. Seventh Place was a tie between Mark Hoilman of Toms River and Randy Hartranft of Pine Beach, with fish weighing 6.9 pounds, and the Elk member winner was also John Henry of Robbinsville, whose fish weighed 6.1 pounds. The Youth Prize went to Tierney Evans of Brick with a fish weighing 4.2 pounds.
The winners in the kayak division were First Place for the longest fish – Chris Johnstone of Point Pleasant with a 26-inch long Fluke. Second Place went to Kevin Michalski of Kenvil, NY with a 23-inch Fluke and Third Place was Larry Newman of Brick with a 20-1/2-inch Fluke. For a longest combined 3 Fluke First Place was Ryan Crossan of Point Pleasant with a total of 65-1/2 inches; Second Place was Gary Ward of Point Pleasant with a total of 64 inches and Third Place was Judy Seger of Allenhurst with a total of 54.75 inches. Prize for most caught species was Mario Teixeira of Blue Union. While the fishermen were enjoying themselves out on the water, our members were sweltering in the heat either at the weight stations waiting for the fishermen to return, or back at the Lodge preparing for the picnic later in the day. The Fluke Tournament Committee would like to thank all of the members of the Lodge that came out on both Friday for the Captains Meeting and Saturday for the Tournament to man the grills, beer truck, bar, and anything else that had to be done. A big thanks also goes out to all of the members who were there during the week to help with the setup. Special thanks to the Veterans Committee for running the 50/50 and the Special Needs Committee for running the Calcutta.

“I Need A Hearing Aid, But My Finances Are Tight”
You know that you may need hearing aids, the kids are yelling at you to do something and your spouse keeps telling you to turn the television down. You are not alone in feeling that hearing aids may not be an option due to the upfront expense. Hearing aids are a great rehabilitative tool when you have the funds accessible but what if you don’t? We never want to ask our children for help because we know that they have very busy lives. So, what is your next move? Here are some options that you may or may not have been aware of. Did you know that hearing aids are a tax deduction? Hearing aids are a medical device used for aural rehabilitation and can be claimed on your income taxes. Do you have a work f lex plan? A flex plan is a plan that can be elected through your health insurance at the new year open enrollment, which is usually in November/December, for health expenses that you know you
will be incurring such as hearing aids. You elect the amount needed and it is available to you thereafter. You can elect this option and have the funds taken out of your paycheck or even have a credit card that is tied to your plan depending on your health care carrier. To find out more information on flex plans, contact your health care provider and ask about enrollment options. Flex plans also have certain pre tax advantages. What about finance plans? Here at Garden State Hearing and Balance Center we offer a 12-month zero percent interest financing option to all patients who would like improved hearing without any significant upfront cost. Let’s face it, sometimes the peace of mind knowing that the extra cash that you have can now be used for a true emergency is price less. Your hearing is a precious gift, so let’s not waste it. Dr. Izzy would like to thank Dr. Tiffany Berth for contributing to this article.
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!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Alzheimer’s Is A Guessing Game
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. There are a few words that terrify people as soon as their uttered by a physician. One of them is Alzheimer’s disease. When you hear that word, it’s like time stops. A new report has considered the fear that we have when it comes to Alzheimer’s. Researchers evaluated 1,641 adults over the age of 50 and found that certain factors are known to increase our fear of developing Alzheimer’s, not the disease itself, but fear of getting it. What are the three factors? 1. Stress 2. Genetics 3. Self-determined faulty memory Stewing about these factors doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going down the rabbit hole. I worry more about you getting diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, when you don’t have it! That’s the sad reality that happens every day! How do I know? People get smacked with labels constantly, and dropped into the sinking ship called the “medical system” that is frequently too quick to cut, poison and burn. There’s a difference between an ailing memory and Alzheimer’s disease. It’s common sense. According to preliminary results from a new study presented recently in London, diagnosing Alzheimer’s is a guessing game. Doctors evaluated 4,000 Medicare patients who had mild cognitive impairment or dementia, and discovered that that many of them definitively do not have Alzheimer’s! Could you be one of those elderly people that have reduced memory function, but not actually Alzheimer’s disease? The treatment differs, you know.
The average retail price for a month supply of a popular Alzheimer’s medication is $497 of cold, hard cash. One challenge we have is that well-meaning doctors don’t even think twice about prescribing Alzheimer’s medications. Adding to the challenge, pharmaceutical companies promote the glories of said-drug, adding to the indiscriminate prescribing problem, which in my honest opinion, is already haphazard. So unfortunately, Alzheimer’s is a guessing game. We know patients tend to have sticky clumps of beta-amyloid in their brains. You can see these using PET-scans (often not reimbursed), or via painful spinal taps. So obviously, most people do not endure these expensive or invasive procedures. They are told they have Alzehimer’s anyway, without a definitive diagnosis, often based on their poor memory recall or recent personality changes. Down the rabbit hole you go. Some practitioners don’t think with enough compassion or they wouldn’t toss the name “Alzheimer’s” out so fast. I’ve been on the other side of this (not personally) but close enough to see how families get ruined, how lives and finances become catastrophic due to one word, perhaps mold, or Lyme, or Alzheimer’s, or “insert your disease here.” What can be measured? Quinolinic acid (from the substrate L-tryptophan). It can be evaluated and while having high levels doesn’t equate to Alzheimer’s, it’s better than diagnosing on symptoms. We do know this compound is generated in excess in people with Alzheimer’s disease. If you’d like to read a more detailed version sign up for my newsletter at SuzyCohen.com and I’ll email it to you.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Summer Tourists Should Treat The Shore Like Home Dear Joel, I would just like to weigh in on summer visitors to the shore. I live near the beach and I love it. Every year, the locals complain about crowded restaurants, traffic, noise and bad behavior. I appreciate their visits and the business they bring to our area’s merchants who depend on them, but I admit, I’ve thought some pretty unkind things too. I wish people would realize that this area is our home. Maybe if you said something, they would act like guests in our home instead of invaders. Your thoughts? Kelly, Point Pleasant Beach Dear Kelly, I agree. Summer tourists are an essential part of the economy, and their visits always mean more traffic and fewer parking spaces and tables in restaurants. They can’t help that. That being said, visitors should remember
that people do live here. Hopefully now that TV shows like Jersey Shore are off the air people will remember their manners. There are plenty of places to go if you want to make some noise – like the amusement parks, racetrack and nightclubs, but blasting radios at the beach, talking loudly in the streets after 11 p.m., leaving trash around or being rude to service people just because you’ll never see them again is unacceptable. The shore people look forward to your visits and get ready to welcome you. Please treat the shore as a place you want to visit, not a place you want to get away from. Happy summer to all. Write to joel@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

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Workers’ Compensation Checklist
Robert C. Shea Esq.
Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea of R.C. Shea & Associates
The New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act allows for numerous benefits should you sustain an injury out of and in the course of your employment. Please allow this article to provide you with a checklist to determine whether you are receiving the appropriate benefits under the law. Did you report your accident or injury to your employer? By statute you are provided a short period of time to actually notify your employer of the injury. The most restrictive notice requirement is applied when a hernia is alleged, as you have only forty-eight (48) hours to report this. Although other accidents and injuries allow for more leniency, as you may be entitled to medical treatment, all injuries should be reported as soon as possible. Have you sought medical treatment? After providing notice to your employer that you have sustained an injury, you should seek medical attention immediately, should same be necessary. The longer that one waits to request medical treatment, the harder it will be to causally connect the injury to the incident at work. In addition, injuries often respond better to appropriate medical treatment provided in a reasonable time, rather than allowing the injury to worsen before attempting treatment. Has your employer notified the workers’ compensation insurance carrier? This is important so that you are provided with a claim number to provide to medical providers to insure payment on your behalf. Also, although you provide notice to your employer, future endeavors relative to the claim will be more efficiently completed if the carrier is immediately put on notice. Has your employer or its workers’ compensation insurance carrier provided you with a medical professional with whom to seek medical treatment? On some occasions, the employer may indicate that you should seek treatment and bring the employer any outstanding medical bills. This is contrary to the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act and usually signifies that the carrier has not yet been notified. It is important that you understand that the employer, through its carrier, has the right to choose the physicians from whom you receive medical treatment for compensable injuries. A physician you choose, with the intention of providing bills to the employer, is not authorized and may not be recognized by the carrier in the future.
Is the physician with whom you are treating providing you with reasonable and necessary medical treatment? Christopher R. Shea Esq. It is important that you provide the authorized medical professional with all of your medical complaints that are related to the compensable injury, and that all of those complaints are addressed by that physician. Are you receiving temporary disability benefits through the workers’ compensation carrier for 70 % of your standard average weekly wage? This is required in the event that the authorized physician indicates that you are temporary totally disabled, or able to return to modified duty which can not be accommodated by your employer. Temporary disability through your employer is not the same as disability through the State and need not be applied for. In the event that you are instructed to apply for disability through the State, you are not getting the benefit as provided by Statute. After completion of your medical treatment and temporary disability benefits, have you received compensation for the permanent disability arising out of your compensable injury? If you have received benefits, have you contacted an attorney to determine whether these benefits are consistent with the injury and disability you sustained? Although this checklist may not be comprehensive, it is a starting point to determine whether you are receiving the appropriate benefits under the law. Should any of the above not be consistent with the benefits you are receiving, there are actions that may be taken by an attorney to bring your matter before the court so that the issues may be resolved.

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.

3 p.m., where shoppers are invited to donate new school supplies to the drive: Saturday, August 5 at Walmart in Brick and Walmart in Freehold.

Understanding Shoulder Replacement Surgery By: Kimberly Salvato, DPT, Manchester Physical Therapist
TOTAL SHOULDER REPLACEMENT The total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) was first performed in the United States in the 1950’s. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, about 53,000 people in the U.S. have their shoulder replaced each year. This compares to more than 900,000 Americans a year who have knee and hip replacements. The main goal of shoulder replacement surgery is to decrease pain, while also increasing mobility, strength, and function in order to help the patient return to normal life.
ANATOMY OF THE SHOULDER (GLENOHUMERAL JOINT) The shoulder is made up of three bones: the humerus (upper arm bone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the clavicle (collar bone). Much like a ball and socket joint, the head of the humerus (the ball) fits into the socket of the scapula, called the glenoid cavity; this makes up the glenohumeral joint. The second portion of the shoulder is called the rotator cuff, and is made up of four muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis). These muscles aid in holding the head of the humerus into the glenoid cavity during shoulder elevation, so partial dislocation (subluxation) does not occur.
WHO NEEDS A TOTAL SHOULDER REPLACEMENT? Increased shoulder pain can be debilitating, and can significantly impact one’s quality of life. Patients with progressing shoulder pathology, persistent pain, and loss of function, benefit from a total shoulder replacement. These pathologies include: • Advanced osteoarthritis (OA) • Rheumatoid arthritis • Disease of the rotator cuff • Osteonecrosis • Fractures of the humeral head Advanced OA, is the most common reason to have surgery. Patients frequently hear the term “bone on bone” which means there has been a significant deterioration of the normal smooth cartilage that lines the joint. Smooth cartilage is important because it allows the ball and socket to glide against one another during movement. Surgical management is considered
when conservative treatment, such as rehabilitation, corticosteroid injection, anti-inflammatory medication, and pain medication (analgesics) fail to provide relief.
IS A TOTAL SHOULDER REPLACEMENT RIGHT FOR YOU? The decision to have shoulder replacement surgery should be a mutual decision between you, your family, your family physician, and your orthopedic surgeon. As mentioned above, if conservative treatment was performed without relief of symptoms, then shoulder replacement surgery can be a great option to help increase your functional independence, and regain your quality of life.
SHOULDER REPLACEMENT OPTIONS: TOTAL V. REVERSE SHOULDER REPLACEMENT • Total shoulder replacement: TSA is a surgical procedure that replaces the damaged glenohumeral joint with artificial components called prosthesis. Typically, the head of the humerus, and the glenoid cavity are both replaced. The damaged humeral head is replaced with a metal ball and stem, which is placed into the shaft of the humerus. The glenoid cavity is replaced with a new smooth plastic surface. • Reverse shoulder replacement: If you have severe rotator cuff damage or a complete rotator cuff tear then a reverse total shoulder replacement might be better for you as a total shoulder replacement could still leave you with pain, and the inability to lift your arm above shoulder level. In a reverse total shoulder replacement, the socket and metal ball are switched. The metal ball replaces the shoulder socket and a plastic socket is attached where the head of the humerus was. In addition, due to the irreparable damage to the rotator cuff, the deltoid muscle now becomes the primary mover during shoulder elevation.
HOW PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP AFTER SURGERY Although results of a TSA vary from patient to patient depending upon the underlying diagnosis, the results of having TSA are very satisfactory. Physical therapy after a TSA has a large success rate because the procedure involves soft tissue reconstruction of ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Physical therapists are well educated in the precautions and post-surgical care following a TSA in order to increase overall functional activity. The primary goal of shoulder replacement surgery is pain relief, with along with the benefit of restoring motion and strength in order to return to sport or other recreational activities. Patients are permitted to use their hand, and wrist soon after surgery, and their elbow and shoulder approximately six weeks after surgery for light activity. Unrestricted, active use of the arm may begin as early as eight weeks after surgery. It is important to realize that patients typically will not be pain free until about 6-12 months after surgery. After one year, 95% of TSA patients enjoy pain-free function, which enables them to exercise the shoulder and return to the activities they enjoy.
KIMBERLY SALVATO, DPT Kimberly Salvato received her Bachelor’s of Science in Biology and minor in Behavioral Neuroscience at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in 2012. Following the completion of her undergraduate degree, Kimberly attended graduate school at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia and received her Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2015. As a student, Kimberly received extensive training treating patients post-stroke in an acute setting and patient post-surgical in an outpatient orthopedic setting. Kimberly then spent four months on her last affiliation in orthopedics and sports medicine, where she studied under renowned sports physical therapists, athletic trainers, and strength and conditions specialists. Kimberly learned valuable knowledge working with high school and college athletes, predominately with ACL and meniscal injuries. Kimberly believes in using evidenced based practice (EBP) in order to provide high-quality care to her patients. She has even participated in a group research project examining the efficacy of Thera-Band elastic bands versus free weights when performing external rotation of the shoulder, which she hopes will become published. Kimberly’s approach to treatment utilizes various techniques she has learned including: Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), Kinesio Taping Method, and manual therapy techniques including Maitland, Mulligan, and McKenzie approaches.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen In The Raw: Try A Dish That Highlights Fresh Fish At Its Finest By Wolfgang Puck
In my early years as a chef, one of the most basic, and best, lessons I learned was to taste ingredients raw. Experiencing even a little bit of food in its uncooked state is a perfect way to get a sense of its flavors and textures, so you’ll always keep in mind the inherent qualities you want to highlight in the finished dish. Sometimes, taking that initial raw taste might also inspire you not to cook a particular ingredient at all, or to cook it only briefly. That is certainly the case with many kinds of seafood, which over the past couple of decades many people have learned to enjoy raw or very lightly seared. Just a few decades ago, food lovers in western countries might still have been wary of eating raw seafood - apart, of course, from longtime traditional specialties like raw oysters and cold-smoked salmon or lox. But the rising popularity of sushi dramatically changed people’s attitudes and also made people more receptive to other styles of raw or barely cooked premium fresh seafood, such as the citrus-marinated ceviche served in Latin American countries or the crudo (literally, “raw”) of Italy. Such raw seafood specialties make wonderful summertime appetizers. Cool, light and refreshing, they’re perfect to serve as a first course or light lunchtime main dish. Take, for example, my recipe for seared salmon and sea bass crudo with avocado. Inspired by casual dishes I observed and prepared myself as a young chef working in the South of France and Monaco, this recipe relies upon the freshest, finest raw fish fillets you can find. Fortunately, many markets today sell such seafood labeled as “sushi grade” to indicate that it’s of the highest standard suitable for serving and eating raw. Of course, you should also let your eyes and nose confirm that the fillets are in perfect condition, looking firm and bright in color with no aromas other than a fresh clean scent of the sea. My recipe gives you the option of preparing the fish either in its most pristine raw state or, if you or your guests might prefer just a hint of cooking, searing the fillets lightly first. Either way, the fish is then cut into thin slices that are briefly marinated with a simple dressing of olive oil and citrus juice or vinegar, the acidity of which firms it up a bit just as light cooking would. Draped over thin wedges of avocado and garnished with fresh herbs, the crudo makes a beautiful presentation
as refreshing to look at as it is to eat. I hope you’ll try this recipe soon, and discover for yourself the pleasures of the freshest seafood in its most pristine state. SEARED SALMON AND SEA BASS CRUDO WITH AVOCADO Serves 6 9 ounces (280 g) absolutely fresh sushi-grade salmon fillet, skin removed 9 ounces (280 g) absolutely fresh sushi-grade sea bass fillet, skin removed 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra if searing the fish 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, lemon juice or good-quality Champagne vinegar Fine sea salt Freshly ground black pepper 3 ripe but slightly firm Hass-style avocados 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives or tarragon 3 lemons, thinly sliced, seeds removed If you plan to sear the fish, first heat a nonstick skillet large enough to hold both pieces of fish over high heat. Drizzle in a very thin coating of olive oil and, when the oil is hot enough to flow freely in the pan and just beginning to give off the slightly wisps of smoke, add the 2 fish fillets and cook them on both large sides for about 1 minute per side, just until seared brown, turn them carefully with tongs. Transfer the fish fillets, whether seared or raw, to a clean cutting board. With a very sharp chef’s knife, cut each fillet diagonally at a 45-degree angle into 6 paper-thin slices, as you would slice smoked salmon. Arrange the fish slices without overlapping on a large platter. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Drizzle this dressing over the fish. Loosely cover the platter and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Halve and pit the avocados. With a large metal spoon, keeping its edge against the inside of an avocado half’s skin, carefully scoop out the flesh in a single piece from each avocado half. Place the avocado halves cut side down on a clean cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut each half lengthwise into 8 thin, crescent-shaped wedges. Arrange 4 avocado slices on each of 4 chilled serving plates. Drape a slice each of salmon and sea bass on top of the avocado on each plate. Sprinkle with chives or tarragon, garnish with lemon slices, and serve immediately.
