By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Develop er s for a proposed Wawa gas station and retail complex to be located at t he f ront of the Laurelton Mobile Home Park have come up with a ‘Plan B’ after their first application was narrowly turned down by the Board of Adjustment last August in a 4 to 3 vote. During a special Board of Adjustment hearing held recently, the developer, JSM @ Martin Blvd., LLC, came back with a new application that would still include a Wawa con-
venience store and gas station, a bank, and a retail pad at the 12-acre site, but would no longer include a daycare center. “We have made appropriate accommodations that were necessary, and we’d like to have this application heard on its own merits,” said JSM attorney Douglas Wolfson at the start of the hearing. With the elimination of the daycare center, the combined square footage of the buildings was decreased from 29,000 square feet to 17,000 square feet. The new application includes a 5,051 square foot Wawa and a gas service area; a 4,535 square foot bank, and a 7,182 squarefoot retail building in which (Wawa - See Page 4)
How To Protect Yourself From Ticks By Jennifer Peacock M A NC H E ST E R – You won’t be fashionable, but dressing right is an i mpor t ant step to prevent tick-bor ne diseases. A f t e r pro cla i m i ng June as “Tick Awareness Mont h,” Mayor Kenneth Palmer invited Marion Goldberg from Master Gardeners of Ocean County to speak about the pests at a recent Township Council meeting. Many audience members were scratching themselves when Goldberg was done with her presentation.
As a master gardener, Goldberg is trained to count ticks and observe them u nder microscopes. Her reports go the county freeholders to keep them abreast of tick populations and associated diseases. “Over the years, every year, the number of t ick s h a s r i s e n ,” Goldberg said. “This is mostly due to the fact that animals are b ei ng d r ive n out of their environment and into o u r e nv i r o n ment.” (Ticks - See Page 2)

Ticks: Continued From Page 1 It’s up to individuals to stay out of the ticks’ ways, she added. “You are going into their environment. It’s their home that you are stepping into. Therefore, you have to be aware that ticks are in mostly all tall grasses, uncut grass, tall weeds, and in dead leaf litter,” Goldberg said. Ticks hang onto blades of grass and don’t care about bicycles or strollers or cars. They are waiting for that signature scent that means mealtime: carbon dioxide. And you can’t hold your breath running through the fields; your body, your pet’s body, gives off CO2 as long as you live. Ticks typically work from the bottom up. The lazy ones will latch onto a toe or ankle. The blood-thirsty connoisseurs will find dark, moist spots further north: under the arms, in or around the ears, inside belly buttons, on the back of the knee, in and around hair, between the legs, around the waist or on the scalp. If you’re out walking, you should stay in the center of marked trails. If you can’t avoid grassy areas, you should wear long, light pants with the legs tucked into white socks. Light-colored shirts should be tucked into pants. EPA-approved repellants with DEET can be used on skin or permethrin for clothes, boots and camping gear.

The deer tick car ries Lyme disease; the dog tick, Rocky Mountain spotted fever; the Lone Star tick, Ehrlichiosis, which as with so many diseases, presents flu-like symptoms. That’s also the infection that’s made the rounds, possibly causing those infected to become “allergic” to meat and dairy. “Which means it forces you to become –Photos by Jennifer Peacock a vegetarian,” Goldberg said.

Wawa: Continued From Page 1 a 3,000 square-foot restaurant would be located, Wolfson said. The developer, JSM (Jack and Sheryl Morris) would still need variances, said Ron Aulenbach, director of engineering for Edgewood Properties, but by eliminating the daycare center that number went from 14 to five variances - three that are related to the undersized lot, and two that are related to the mobile home park. (Jack Morris, who is the president and chief executive officer of Edgewood properties, is a well-known developer in Brick who built the Costco shopping center and who will be developing part of the vacant Foodtown site). JSM traffic engineer Karl Pehnke explained that three entrances/exits were part of the site plan. The Route 88 driveways would be located 200 feet east of Jack Martin
Boulevard and a second driveway would be 800 feet east of Jack Martin. A third driveway would be on Jack Martin Boulevard. “There are benefits to the proposed use of the site because patrons are already there for the Wawa. Unlike a Walmart or a CVS, which draws traffic to the area, Wawa services cars and they return to the road,” Pehnke said. The commercial development of the corner would improve site lines for traffic since the shoulder and westbound Route 88 would be widened with curbing and sidewalks, Pehnke said. Board of Adjustment engineer Brian Boccanfuso and board member Mike Jamnik raised safety concerns about traffic entering and exiting onto Route 88, a curved and undivided highway. “Making a left out of either of those exists is dangerous. I didn’t like it the first time,” said Jamnik, referring to the previous application. Restricting a left turn out for drivers during
certain times presents safety problems and motorist abeyance, Boccanfuso added. After Board President Harvey Langer allowed a five minute recess to give time for Wolfson and the JSM engineers to discuss the driveways, they came back and said they would move the easternmost driveway westward and designate it as a right-turn in and out entrance only. “We would accept it,” Wolfson said. “It is not a condition of our application.” Boccanfuso said he also had “a significant concern” about traffic congestion within the complex “and could spill out onto Route 88.” Langer urged the JSM engineers to take another look at the traffic flow with an eye on urging motorists to exit the site at the Jack Martin Boulevard driveway, which leads to a traffic light at the intersection of Route 88. As part of the first application, JSM said that the occupied mobile homes would be allowed to remain onsite and any of the homes affect-
ed by the development would be relocated from the front of the property towards the back. It was not clear if this would still be the case in the second application. Mobile home parks are allowed in the township under certain circumstances, which includes the pre-existing, age-restricted Laurelton Mobile Home Park. At one time there were more than 100 homes at there, but now only about 36 are occupied as residents have either moved or died. About two dozen residents of the mobile home park attended the hearing, many hoping to speak, but the meeting ended just after 10 p.m. before the floor was open to public comment. Testimony would continue and residents would probably get their chance to speak during a second special meeting on the application, scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 8 at 7 p.m. in Town Hall.
Ocean County Couple Plead Guilty To Superstorm Sandy Fraud By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – Convictions about Superstorm Sandy fraud continue to be made. The state attorney general’s off ice today announced the conviction of an Ocean County couple who pled guilty to stealing more than $1.4 million from
20+ victims who hired them to fix home damage from the hurricane. The couples hired them with hurricane relief funds, and the couple instead spent the money on luxury items and gambling. This Little Egg Harbor couple—Jeffrey Colmyer, 42, and Tiffany Cimino, 34—pleaded guilty to theft by failure to
make required disposition of property received in Superior Court today. Colmyer also pled guilty to second degree money laundering. The couple took a plea deal, which will see Colmyer serving 7 years in state prison and Cimino sentenced to probation. The couple must also pay back $695,402
to the victims and $655,243 to the state, as well an additional $104,000 in other restitution. In addition, Colmyer must pay $56,472 in back taxes. The couple owned Rayne Construction Management Services LLC, and Colmyer & Sons LLC. Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 7.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Dinosaur And Its Artist Have History Together Af ter t wo y ears of waiting in the wings for approvals and permits it looks as though the g reen light has been given to me to start restoring the Bayville Dinosaur. I will start at the end of June and hope for a grand unveiling in early September. My sponsor, PPG Paints, has graciously come aboard with some fascinating new products that consist of an “environmentally green base.” Along with today’s standards, we are defi nitely on the same page in keeping the environment as safe as possible. I lived across the street from the Dinosaur when I was in my single digits. While attending St Joseph’s in Toms River my bus stop was right across the street. My Dad would take me and my siblings Joel and Dona, to visit the dinosaur constantly. My youngest brother Jay was just born so his visitation rights didn’t kick in until later on in life. It fascinated us when we were young. It seemed bigger than life! When my grandfather was running for mayor of Bayville we would give out matches with his face
on the cover. Folks at the IGA and Bayville Laundromat were big fans of his. After we gave out all the matches, as a treat, we headed over to visit the Dinosaur. As you can see…this “stone age statue” is no stranger to me. I can even remember when his eyes and mouth lit up with color. Sure, it was a simpler time - but the memories I have of this great monument must be one of thousands shared by others that once came to visit the coolest dinosaur in the world. Getting the chance to restore the friendly beast has been a dream for many years. For anyone that has grown up “Bayville” I know you have watched the dinosaur go through many changes, many colors and many decapitations. I hope this new change suits all of you and takes you back to your own memories of a far younger and simpler Bayville… when the innocence of simply visiting a man-made dinosaur was more than enough to put a smile on your face. Thanks for having me. Shannon MacDonald Artist Chosen To Restore The Roar To The Bayville Dinosaur

Letters To The Editor Beloved Teacher Remembered
The Donovan Catholic and St. Joseph’s Grade School family mourn the loss of our beloved teacher, Karin Krenek. Karin passed away suddenly on May 18 doing what she loved…sharing her love for theatre with students. Karin has been a part of our school communities for over two decades as a teacher and a parent of four children who graduated from our schools. Karin was not only a theatre teacher, a drama director, and an ESL teacher, she was an inspiration to all who knew her. Karin had the unique ability to invite a community that spanned generations to create productions that breathed “LOVE.” Karin knew the power of the arts, and she used the arts to honor people, to heal people and to build community. EVERYONE was welcome in Karin’s productions because she truly believed that every child of God had something unique and important to contribute. Karin’s home in the learning commons was a haven for young and old alike who needed a listening ear and an open heart. “Mama K,” as the students called her, always had time to laugh with, to cry with and to pray with students in need. Karin’s faith was the foundation of her life and she gathered students in prayer before every practice and performance. Her Donovan Arts memos often included requests for prayer for those in need of healing or help. Karin initiated the idea of “theatre retreats” and invited Donovan’s pastor/ director Father Scott Shaffer and Campus Minister, MaryBeth DeBlasio, to take her cast and crew away for two or three days to Maris Stella Retreat House in LBI where they participated in retreats based on gospel themes present in their particular show. Karin is probably the only director who, with two weeks left until show time, would say, “We
Letters To The Editor Lacey Students’ are not practicing for two of anti-Semitism to bully or three days, instead we are going on retreat to pray together, to play together and to be nourished by Fr. Scott’s amazing cooking.” JoAnn D’Anton, marketing director for Donovan and Madeline Kinloch, St. Joseph’s Grade School principal, also participated as “sous chefs” and chaperones on these retreats. “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Mary Poppins,” “Guys and Dolls,” “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” and “The Lion King” were some of the shows that were enriched by these retreats. Karin felt that as Catholic educators we have the obligation to incorporate our faith into every aspect of our students’ life. Karin was a community builder who taught the high school students to pass their love of theatre and of God on to the students in St. Joseph’s Grade School. Cast and crew from the high school worked as small group leaders on the grade’s school’s “Lion King” retreat this past February. Dress rehearsals of her musicals were open to St. Joseph’s Parish religious education students and the interaction between the cast and these young students ref lected the love that Mrs. Krenek shared with them. Karin was someone who never had an unkind word to say and who always brought light and joy and hope to those who crossed her path. She will be deeply missed by our community. Donovan Catholic Staff
Toms River Council Not Anti-Semitic Toms R iver Republican Cou ncil members responded ang r ily to repeated accusations of anti-Semitism being espoused publicly, both directly and indirectly, by local pro - developme nt attorney Harvey York. The Republicans said that York is using accusations
the township into approvi ng addit ional housi ng units that it cannot afford. “Trying to chill legitimate debate about development decisions by labeling elected officials and residents as anti-Semitic if they voice opposition is offensive” said Councilwoman Maria Maruca. “Mr. York needs to know that our local elected officials will not be bullied or intimidated into approving more development by him falsely accusing us of anti-Semitism. We want to cu r t ail development because our town can’t afford it and our residents don’t want it,” said Council President Brian Kubiel. “Is Mr. York’s contention that every Toms River resident who wants to slow development is a racist? That’s a despicable attack against our residents and we won’t stand for it now or ever.” “Mr. York’s conduct in furthering this ugly narrative is a poorly veiled attempt to secure favorable outcomes for his client’s project s - wh ich mea n more development, additional traffic and higher taxes,” said Councilman Mo Hill, “trying to label elected officials and residents as Anti-Semitic if they try to reduce density in Toms River is offensive.” Toms River Republican Off icials point to published newspaper accounts of Mr. York’s comments regarding a rezoning ordinance put forth at a recent Council Meeting. “The Taxpayers of Toms R iver w ill not be held hostage to reckless development interests and high-priced legal mercenaries to shame or intimidate our town into making planning decisions at odds with the interests of our t a x p aye r s ,” c onclu d e d Councilman George Wittmann.

Gun Training Is Wrong
On May 20, Lacey High School students attended a training event, during which they were given firearms, from handguns to AR-15s. The trainers said it was to teach the students gun safety. However, that’s not what actually happened. The students were handed guns which they’re too young to buy, then were trained to use them. The definition of “gun safety” taught to underage children was that in order to be safe, you need a gun. The problem is that this “lesson” is factually incorrect. A study done by the Rutgers School of Nursing showed that children taught this kind of “gun safety” are no less likely to handle guns unsupervised. When you consider another conclusion of the study, that 85 percent of gun-owning parents don’t practice safe gun storage, the effect of the training was simply kids getting excited about guns, which many already had access to. The event was supposed focus on safety. Yet, the event’s Chief Training Officer said himself, “One of the goals I wanted to set was to show people, ‘This is fun. I feel good.’” June 2 was National Gun Violence Awareness Day, during Wear Orange Weekend from June 1-3. I used to think awareness wasn’t the issue, but that’s clearly not the case. If guns meant safety, America would 2.5 times as safe as any other country. Yet, we’re 25 times more likely to be killed by guns than people in other developed nations. But most people aren’t aware of that, in part, because people like the hosts of this event say that kids one day “collecting guns…would be a win for us.” When children’s lives are on the line, the stakes are too high not to act. And so, on June 2nd, I wore orange, and marched, and fought to actually make New Jersey’s kids safe. Eytan Stern Weber NJ Communications Lead Moms Demand Action

From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has agreed to perform emergency dredging of the Manasquan Inlet to maintain safe navigation for boat traffic, Rep. Chris Smith (R-th) announced in Point Pleasant Beach, where he was at the invitation of Mayor Steve Reid to inspect areas of the inlet first-hand. In late April, Mayor Reid contacted Congressman Smith requesting assistance with
“an urgent navigation issue” - the shoaling at the mouth of the inlet resulting in shallow channel depth. Since the inlet is a federally-maintained channel, Smith reached out immediately to the Army Corps of Engineers to report the local concerns and request that the Corps survey the channel depth to determine if additional sand was building up in the channels and decreasing navigation. “Our regional economy - commercial fishing, recreational
Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker cosponsored legislation that would protect the safety and well-being of minor children who have been left alone and vulnerable after their parents have been arrested or detained by U.S. immigration authorities. The lawmakers said the Humane Enforcement and Legal Protections (HELP) for Separated Children Act is necessary because in the past children have been abandoned at home or at school after their parents’ detention, often without information about their parents’ location and without adequate
arrangements for their care. They said that with the Trump Administration seeking to step up enforcement operations targeting immigrant families, and planning to separate children from their parents during enforcement operations, action is needed to protect children impacted by the administration’s actions. The HELP Separated Children Act’s protections for these children include: Allowing parents to make calls to arrange for the care of their children and ensuring that children can call and visit their parents while they are detained; Allowing parents to participate
National Defense Authorization Act Provides Important Funding
resources they need to defend our country both at home and abroad, while also strengthening the future of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and thousands of New Jersey jobs. “The NDAA will reaffirm our commitment to our men and women in uniform by fully funding the largest pay raise
for our troops in nine years. Our servicemen and women, and their families sacrifice so much for our freedom and we have a moral obligation to care for them. “Importantly, this bipartisan NDAA does not authorize a Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission protect-
ing the Joint Base and the vital role it plays in our national security and local economy. This bill also maintains funding for construction at the Joint Base that will support the new KC-46 refueling tankers. The placement of these tankers will ensure that JB MDL continues to be our
nation’s premier air mobility installation and home to over 42,000 jobs. “Supporting our military and protecting our country should never be a partisan issue and I’m glad members of both parties were able to come together and support this vital legislation.”
Manasquan Inlet Will See Emergency Dredging
fishing, boating and summer tourism, and all the jobs these activities generate - depends upon the health and safety of the Manasquan Inlet,” said Smith, who represents several shore communities in Ocean and Monmouth counties. “I am grateful that the mayor brought this potentially devastating problem to the fore and appreciate that the Army Corps responded with a fact-finding survey and a critical decision to dredge as soon as possible.” After being contacted by Smith, the USACE performed a channel depth survey on May 2 and confirmed the shoaling near the entrance to the inlet channel. The autho-
rized depth of the channel for safe navigation is 14 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), and the USACE survey indicates some areas which are less than that. “According to the Army Corps, the January 2018 survey shows a clear channel, so the shoaling has occurred since then and fairly rapidly versus previous years,” Smith added. Though the government’s dredge, the Currituck, was scheduled to perform regular maintenance dredging in late July, Smith pressed the Corps to have an emergency “clean up” dredging take place sooner to clear the additional sand and maintain a safe channel.
“This emergency dredging the Army Corps is scheduling for mid-June will likely not remove the entire shoal, but it will help to greatly alleviate any navigation issue until the maintenance dredging occurs in July,” Smith added. “So, from our standpoint, from an industry standpoint - both as Marine Trades Association, Recreational Fishing Alliance, United Boatmen, all of the entities that represent people who utilize this inlet, and then the general public - can’t thank the congressman enough nor the mayor enough. This is a big, big deal,” said Ray Bogan, legal counsel for the Marine Trades Association
of New Jersey, Recreational Fishing Alliance, and United Boatmen of New Jersey. “We are grateful that the Congressman stepped in proactively on this issue,” said Mayor Reid. “The commercial and recreational fishing industries in Point Pleasant Beach and the surrounding communities generate millions of dollars of revenue annually, employing hundreds of area residents.” Reid added, “Assuring that the Manasquan inlet remains one of the safest and most navigable waterways in New Jersey is critical to the survival of our fishing fleet and the people and businesses which serve it.”
Bill Would Protect Minors Left Alone When Parents Are Detained By Immigration Officials
in family court proceedings affecting their children; Protecting children from being compelled to serve as translators for their parents in immigration enforcement actions; Ensuring that parents can coordinate their departures with their children, including allowing parents to say goodbye to their children prior to being taken into custody; and Requiring U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to consider the best interests of children in detention, release, and transfer decisions affecting their parents. According to a 2011 study, there are more than five million children in the United States living with at least one unauthorized immigrant parent. The vast majority of these children are U.S. citizens. These
children are vulnerable when their parents are the subjects of immigration enforcement, detention, and removal actions. When parents facing detention are not given the opportunity to make arrangements for the care of their children, this not only results in serious, avoidable trauma to children and families, but also unnecessary expenses for the state. Children of detained parents have been needlessly taken into the custody of state or local child welfare agencies. In the most extreme cases, because of their parents’ inability to participate in family court hearings, these children have been adopted or placed into foster care with well-meaning American families. Even when the outcome is not termination of parental rights, enforcement can lead to
de facto permanent separation of children from their parents and cause tremendous harm to children, undermining their sense of security and even inflicting symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In 2013, during the Senate Judiciary Committee’s markup of the comprehensive immigration reform bill, the previous version of the HELP Separated Children Act was the only amendment - out of nearly 200 amendments - to pass by a unanimous roll call vote. Joining Sens. Menendez and Booker on the legislation are Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Richard Durbin (D-Ill.), Kama-
la Harris (D-Calif.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Edward Markey (D-Mass.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Tom Udall (D-N.M.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.). Congresswoman Roybal-Allard (Calif.-40) introduced the HELP Separated Children Act in the House of Representatives, where its cosponsors include Congressmembers Adriano Espaillat (N.Y.-13), Ruben Gallego (Ariz.-07), Pramila Jayapal (Wash.-07), Grace Napolitano (Calif.-32), Darren Soto (Fla.-09), and Filemon Vela (Texas-34).

Brick: Continued From Page 1 was supposed to be based on a formula that took into account each town’s property tax base, its ability to pay, changes in enrollment and the special needs of the children. Adjustment aid was designed to shield certain districts from a sudden decline in state aid because of the change in the formula, and it was supposed to be phased out, but it never was. The districts who still receive the adjustment aid are considered to be overfunded and receiving more than their fair share of state aid, Sweeney had said. If S-2 as it is proposed were adopted,
Edwa rds said that the approxi mate a mou nts Br ick Boa rd of Educat ion would lose in adjustment aid are: for school year 2018-2019, $1,274,844; for 2019-2020, $2,039,750; for 2020-2021, $2,549,687; for school year 2021-2022, $3,569,562; for 2022-2023, $4,589,437; for 2023-2024, $5,354,343; and for the final seventh school year 2024-2025, $6,119,249. Sweeney said that after seven years schools would no longer receive adjustment aid except for vocational schools because they don’t have the ability to raise taxes since they are at the “whim of the county budgets.” Sweeney also said that SDA (School D e vel o p m e n t Au t h o r i t y, fo r m e r l y
Abbott) districts who are losing money could raise their levy cap for the amount of money they are losing. With the potential loss of $25 million, the burden would be shifted onto the taxpayers, Edwards said. “Brick is already one of the lowest spending K-12 districts in the state and they are telling us we have to spend less,” Edwards said. “S-2 is a scary bill. This is really troublesome. It doesn’t make sense,” he said. The Board members approved a resolution requesting revisions to the school funding formula. The resolution states that the district is being underfunded “pursuant to the 2008 School Funding Reform Act” while other districts are
overfunded. The resolution further states that facility capital improvement upgrades for the district are urgently needed, and by failing to correctly fund the district, it “may preclude the district from providing the students...a thorough and efficient education.” Meanwhile, Governor Phil Murphy has proposed increases in state aid for the 2018-2019 school year budget that provides increases to nearly every school district. If lawmakers do not agree on a balanced budget by June 30, Sweeney said there could be a government shutdown on July 1. The next Board of Education meeting will be on Tuesday, June 26 at 7 p.m.
Sciatica
T
By: Paul Eberle, MS, PT, Whiting Physical Therapist
he Sciatic Nerve is the largest nerve in the body. It begins in the lower back, travels through the buttock and the back of the thigh, divides into two nerves at the knee and ends at your toes. The term “sciatica” refers to a set of symptoms including pain in the low back, buttock, and legs, which can radiate below the knee to the feet and toes. This radiating pain can be experienced in one or both legs along with numbness, tingling and muscle weakness in the hips, knees and ankles. It is important to understand that the term “sciatica” does not describe the specific causes of the radiating pain, which many individuals from their twenties to their nineties experience. There are two common causes of sciatic pain. Sciatic pain is most commonly caused by compression of lumbar or sacral nerve roots as they exit the spinal cord. The most common cause for nerve compression causing sciatica in the younger population is lumbar disc herniation. It has been reported that as high as 90% of all cases of sciatic pain are due to spinal disc herniations which impinge upon the nerve roots where the sciatic nerve originates. The compression or pressing of the nerve roots can cause pain, tingling, muscle weakness, or poor muscle control of the areas supplied by the sciatic nerve. Individuals with lumbar disc herniations, also known as lumbar disc bulges or slipped discs, usually experience increased radiating sciatic pain with forward bending and sitting. Work and daily activities often become limited. Physical therapy and instruction in patient specific exercises to reduce discal nerve impingement and to increase spinal flexibility and core strength have consistently shown to decrease and eliminate sciatic and lumbar pain. The McKenzie approach is a widely used physical therapy regimen. In this approach patients repeatedly perform specific exercises which mechanically reduce the process of disc herniation as discal material (nucleus propulsus) is pressed away from the irritated nerve roots and back toward or into the outer casing of the disc (annulus fibrosus). Treatment then focuses on strengthening postural muscles of the spine and trunk to
limit the possibility of symptom recurrence. The second most common cause of sciatic pain is lumbar spinal stenosis. Most people with lumbar spinal stenosis are over the age of fifty. It is estimated that more than 400,000 people in the United States have leg and/or lower back pain which is attributed to lumbar stenosis. The term stenosis means “choking” and is the result of the spinal cord or nerve roots being compressed within the spinal column. Stenosis is often the result of joint and disc degeneration. Sciatica from lumbar spinal stenosis usually progresses slowly and often becomes more severe with time. The low back pain and radiating buttock or leg pain will often subside for periods but, unfortunately, will often return. In most cases people with lumbar stenosis have pain with standing, walking and transitioning from a sitting to a standing position. This is due to the fact that when the lumbar spine is extended or straight, the nerve roots have less room as they exit the spinal cord and can be compressed. Patients with lumbar stenosis usually have relief when sitting and often prefer to stand with a slouched posture which reduces nerve compression and pain. The exercise prescription for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis focuses on increasing flexibility in the spine and legs and maximizing patient walking and daily activity tolerance without worsening pain. Patients are often not able to tolerate exercise in the standing position due to the irritation of tight muscles; therefore focus is initially on loosening up those muscles to decrease symptoms. Once symptom reduction begins, the patient can usually tolerate exercises to strengthen the lower extremities, spine and trunk in positions, notably standing, where they had experienced pain during the day. The goal is to have the patient be able to perform exercises and stretches which allow them to increase their tolerance to walking and standing activities. The third most common cause of sciatica is piriformis syndrome. In the past it was believed to cause approximately 6% of reported cases of sciatica, however recent EMG studies have shown that piriformis syndrome may be a more common source of sciatica. The sciatic nerve runs deep through the buttocks just beneath the
piriformis muscle. In 10 to 15% of individuals however, it is believed the nerve runs directly through the muscle. These individuals may be at an increased risk of piriformis syndrome. Patients with piriformis syndrome usually feel worse in seated positions, as increased pressure is placed on the sciatic nerve. This is often exacerbated in individuals who sit on their wallet. Common causes are overexercising and prolonged sitting and it appears to be more common in women. Buttock and sciatic pain resulting from piriformis syndrome respond well to physical therapy when properly diagnosed and treated. Physical therapy treatment begins with a thorough evaluation of the hip joint and spine followed by specific manual therapy techniques performed by an experienced therapist. The goal of physical therapy treatment is to allow the piriformis muscle to relax and lengthen, relieving the pressure on the sciatic nerve. Modalities including moist heat and ultrasound often assist in allowing the piriformis muscle to relax. Once pain levels are reduced, specific patient exercises and stretches can be taught, allowing patients to control and eliminate their sciatica. PAUL EBERLE, MS, PT

Ocean County Officials: Get Ready For Hurricane Season By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Ocean County officials remind residents to be prepared for hurricane season, beginning June 1 and lasting through the end of November. The height of hurricane season typically lands around late August and September, however tropical systems can develop any time, so it is important to be prepared. “We have learned many valuable lessons from Superstorm Sandy which devastated the area in October of 2012,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, Director of Law and Public Safety. “We know that being prepared is the key to our safety and taking the time to make sure you have a plan in case of an emergency could be lifesaving if disaster strikes.” The National Weather Service lists surge f looding, inland f looding from heavy rains, destructive winds, tornadoes, and high surf and rip currents as the biggest hurricane hazards. Officials urge residents to prepare by having a portable Disaster Supplies Kit at all times. The kit should be updated every six months and include a gallon of drinking water a day for each person, prescription drugs and special dietary foods, a supply of non-perishable foods, a first aid kit, a battery powered radio, f lashlights, and extra batteries “As a coastal area, it is imperative that residents and visitors of Ocean County are aware of the risks that are faced during a hurricane, tropical storm or a nor’easter,” said Ocean County Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy. “Knowing how to prepare before a storm, how to take action as the storm approaches and even knowing what to do during a storm are all types of questions to think about to be better prepared in case of danger.” When preparing for a storm, don’t forget about your pets. It is also important to have Animal Supply Kits and TakeAlong Bags for ser vice animals and pets. These include a two-week supply of water and food, non-spill food and water dishes, cage/carrier labeled with contact information, favorite toys and
treats, leash, collar and harness, litter, litter pan, paper towels and plastic baggies, and pet medication. Pets should also have current ID tags and vaccinations, according to officials. Make sure to have a plan as to how your pets will be cared for if you have to evacuate. Off icials also urge residents with disabilities or special needs to sign up for Register Ready, New Jersey’s Special Needs registry for disasters which helps emergency responders better plan to serve them in disaster or emergency situations. “Register Ready is a free, voluntary program that allows for extra preparation in the case of a major emergency,” Kelly said. “It will not only help our residents who may need assistance but it will also provide information to emergency responders so that residents could be checked on during weather events.” To register online, go to ready.nj.gov. “The Ocean County Office of Emergency Management under the direction of Sheriff Mastronardy does a great job providing resources during an emergency,” Kelly said. “Residents should also keep up on the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for information as the hurricane risk heightens.” Advisories to stay alert for are a “hurricane watch” and a “hurricane warning.” For a list of hurricane-related resources, visit ochd.org. An Emergency Preparedness Disaster Tips pamphlet is also available throughout the county including the Health Department located at 175 Sunset Ave. and the County Connection at the Ocean County Mall. “Residents can use the Health Department’s Emergency Preparedness Disaster Tips pamphlet as a guideline for their own preparations,” Little said. “It is a great starting point to make sure your family is aware of the steps to take in case of an emergency.” For more information on emergency preparedness, visit the Ocean County Government webpage at co.ocean.nj.us and by clicking on the ‘Be Prepared’ link.

Taking Charge: 7 Tips For Longer-Lasting Hearing Aid Batteries
The dinner was delicious, the dishes are done, and you’re settling in for a double feature on Netflix only to hear the “beep, beep” of your nonrechargeable hearing aid batteries going dead. Argh! How can you make the next set of nonrechargeables last longer? Take control with these seven tips: Find the Right Match: Batteries are available in various sizes, types, and performance levels, so it’s important to find the right fit for your hearing aids. Count on your hearing-care specialist, who can help ensure your hearing devices are matched up with the appropriate battery products. Prepare Before You Pull: Hearing aid batteries come with a stay-fresh colored tab that helps keep them from discharging prematurely. Once the tab’s pulled and the batteries activate, however, they can’t be deactivated, so first be sure you’re ready to use ’em. Wait 3-5 minutes before closing the battery door or the voltage of the battery would get to 1.45 volts. Acquire Only What You Need: It might seem like a good idea to stockpile lots of batteries, but even those that remain unopened in their packaging can lose power over time. Limit your supply to what you’ll reasonably put into service in a year, and use those with the earliest sell-by dates first. Power Down: Just as turning off lights conserves energy and saves bulb life, powering down your devices when not using them helps batteries last. Turn off your hearing aids — including completely opening the battery door — when they’re not in use.

Dead Batteries? Consider Recycling Most newer household batteries no longer contain mercury, but they still have toxic elements that can pollute waterways and impact air quality. When getting rid of old batteries, recycling may be an option. Check with your city, county, or state household hazardous waste management program for proper recycling or disposal options.

Keep Water Out: Moisture — practically kryptonite to hearing aids — can damage batteries, too. Protect your devices from water sources including sweat, and help further reduce moisture by leaving the battery door open to dry out after removing the batteries at night. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Hot cars and super-cold spaces aren’t great places for your hearing aid batteries. Extreme temperatures can do a number on battery life, so store them at room temperature whenever possible and not in the refrigerator. Rein Them In: Loose change in your pockets or purse always comes in handy, but loose batteries are a no-no. Batteries can react negatively with metals such as keys and coins, so consider storing them separately in their own packaging or another container. Getting the most out of your batteries helps you get the most from your hearing technology — and save money, too! For more tips and tricks on making your batteries last longer, call us today at 732-818-3610. Remember at Garden State Hearing when you purchase hearing aids the batteries are FREE.

7 Medical Benefits Of Kiwi Fruit By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Kiwi is among my favorite fruits of all time. It’s also known as “Chinese Gooseberry.” The little black seeds in kiwi do more than just get stuck in your teeth. They give you a small amount of healthy omega 3 fatty acids. An average kiwi has about 30 milligrams of alpha-linolenic acid. Kiwi is a great source of natural vitamin C and A. It is a good source of natural folate, thiamin and riboflavin. Kiwi also offers some vitamin K (phylloquinone) and minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. In this regard, it’s great for blood pressure and bones! The fleshy part green part gives you an added bonus of fiber which promotes smooth traffic through your colon (regularity) and simulate healthy probiotic growth. 1. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Kiwi has compounds in it that reduce activation of intestinal cells which ruin your gut. This reduces inflammation in the gut. 2. Asthma and Wheezing - Kiwi is rich in all kinds of antioxidants especially vitamin C which promotes collagen, and that promotes healthy breathing. There was a study published in Thorax that evaluated children and asthma symptoms. The kiwi-consuming group had less wheezing and noticed fewer nocturnal coughing fits. 3. Depression and PMS Melancholy - Some foods are naturally high in serotonin and tomatoes are one of them. Kiwis have twice as much serotonin as tomatoes. Serotonin is a “happy” brain
chemical that lifts mood, induces relaxation and boosts self-esteem. People who are aggressive or hostile, or live in “fight” mode might be low in serotonin. I have a longer version of this article at my website in case you want more details. Eating kiwis can essentially make a person feel more content because it acts as a natural fruit anti-depressant! 4. Sleep - Serotonin converts in the body to melatonin, a sleep hormone. So eating kiwis should help you fall asleep faster, and sleep a little bit longer. Eat one or two right after dinner. 5. Your eyes - Natural antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin are needed to support vision. Kiwi contains these special eye-loving nutrients. If you’re suffering with glaucoma or cataracts, why not eat a kiwi today each day as part of your diet. 6. Respiratory Infections - There was some research published in Advances in Food and Nutrition Research in 2013. Compounds in kiwi were found to modulate the immune response making it a great fruit to eat if you have suppressed immunity or chronic sinus/lung infections. 7. Anemia - If you’re iron deficient and supplementing with iron tablets, you can boost the amount of iron your body takes up with vitamin C containing fruits such as kiwi or orange juice. Kiwi is a refreshing fruit that has many medical benefits. Just be aware that you might be allergic to kiwi if you’re allergic to peanuts. There is a cross-sensitivity with tree nuts and kiwi. If you’ve never had it before, be sure to peel the fuzzy skin off before eating it.

Dear Joel, My husband is an amazing father to our three children ages 8, 10, and 14. He goes to their school events, reviews their homework and spends time with them on the weekends. When I asked them what ideas they had concerning Father’s Day all I got was a few grunts followed by “I don’t know.” Their lack of interest really disappoints me. What can you suggest I do to make this Father’s Day a memorable one? Answer I’ll admit buying gifts for dad isn’t always easy, so rather than a gift, why not have them participate in an activity that will remind them just how lucky they are to have such a special father. How about putting together a video with

Inside The Law Time To Review Your Will
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Marc S. Galella, Esq, of R.C. Shea and Associates
Anytime is a good time to review your estate planning documents. Let’s start with your Last Will and Testament. Have you reviewed it in the last year? If not, now is a good time. First, look at the persons who you have appointed as your executor, guardian and trustee. Are those persons still capable of acting in that capacity? Are they still willing to act? Is there any reason why you would not want them to act under your Will? Review the specific bequests and devises in your Will. This is the part of the Will where you leave specific items, real estate or money to specific persons. Are those persons still worthy of receiving those assets? Are there additional persons that you want add to your Will? Do you still own the items identified in your Will? Are there any other items that you want to leave to specific persons? Review the persons named in your Will who are receiving the remainder of your estate. Are those persons still deserving of your assets? If you are leaving your estate in different percentages to your beneficiaries, are those percentages still what you want? Are they any other persons who you want to add to your Will? Are any of the persons named in your Will incapacitated or receiving governmental benefits? Perhaps the assets left to those persons are best left in a trust.
Review your Power of Attorney. Are the persons you appointed in that document still capable of acting for Marc S. Galella Esq. you? Do they still want to act on your behalf? Are there other persons who you want to name to act for you? Is there any reason why a person that you named should no longer act for you? Do you have a Power of Attorney? Maybe you did not need one the last time you prepared a Will, but maybe you should consider preparing one now. Review your Living Will. Ask yourself the same questions as your Power of Attorney. Has there been any changes in your medical conditions that would change the medical directives in your current Living Will? If after reviewing your current estate planning documents you feel that they should be changed, now is the time to discuss your concerns with an estate planning attorney. The attorneys at R. C. Shea and Associates have over 100 combined years of preparing estate planning documents. Call us to schedule an appointment to review your documents with you.

Monmouth & Ocean County Towns And School Districts Receive EDF Fellows EWING – Sustainable Jersey recently announced the seven townships and two school districts, located in Monmouth and Ocean counties, that were selected to receive an Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) Climate Corps Fellow to provide on-site technical assistance with energy efficiency projects. This technical assistance program has been made possible through funding provided by New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG). The 2018 Recipients of EDF Fellows: • Asbury Park City • Freehold Borough • Lake Como Borough • Neptune Township • J a c k s o n To w n s h i p S c h o o l D i s trict • Little Egg Harbor Township • Little Egg Harbor Township School District • Ocean Gate Borough • Point Pleasant Beach Borough
“We are proud to partner with Sustainable Jersey to help connect communities with the resources they need to make wise energy choices,” said Anne-Marie Peracchio, director of conservation and clean energy policy for New Jersey Natural Gas. “The host towns and schools will benefit greatly from this unique opportunity as the EDF Climate Corps Fellows provide guidance and insight to help them address challenges and plan customized energy-efficiency solutions that help advance their sustainability goals.” Through the EDF Climate Corps fellowship program, Sustainable Jersey is pairing three specially trained graduate fellows with municipalities and school districts to provide expertise and support for evaluation, planning and implementation of projects that will help improve the energy performance of their respective buildings. The EDF Fellows will begin work with township and school district staff in June 2018. Sustainable Jersey reviewed the applications and will provide guidance to the EDF Climate Corps fellows to help them advise participating schools and municipalities about resources specific to New Jersey, as well as initiatives that earn points toward the Sustainable Jersey certification program. In particular, the EDF Climate Corps fellows help the towns and school districts access the many incentives available through New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program. “Supporting communities with technical expertise to do sustainable energy efficiency projects is an important step toward our goal of a sustainable New Jersey,” said Sustainable Jersey Director Randall Solomon. “Over the course of the summer, fellows will get energy efficiency projects on the fast track to accomplishment – simultaneously lowering energy costs and environmental impact.” In 2017, through this program and with the support of NJNG, Sustainable Jersey placed three EDF Climate Corps fellows to assist a total of seven municipalities and schools: Atlantic Highlands School District, Brielle Borough School District, Howell Township, Middletown Township, Rumson Borough School District, Sea Girt Borough School District and Shore Regional High School District.

Ocean County Justice Complex Receiving A Facelift
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Ocean County officials announced that construction on two separate improvement projects in the plaza of the Ocean County Justice Complex will begin on June 4. The complex, located at 120 Hooper Avenue, will be receiving a high-efficiency heating and cooling system as well as upgrades to the stairs, handicapped access ramp and doors. “We want to make sure our visitors and staff are aware of this ongoing work,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Buildings and Grounds. “Access to the buildings may be affected from time to time by the work but the buildings will remain open throughout the construction.” The county plans to complete the work in phases to avoid interrupting county functions within the Justice Complex or in nearby buildings. “The phase-in plan has been reviewed by the contractors, Ocean County Courthouse officials, Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy and Township building inspectors,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, Director of Law and Public Safety. “The safety of our visitors and staff and security of the building is of the utmost importance during these construction projects.” The new 600 kW CHP heating and cool-
ing system will generate electricity while capturing and using waste heat for space heating, cooling, and water heating. For the system, the electrical work needs to be worked on fi rst underneath the plaza, according to officials, which will take about eight months. The electrical work will be done by Kubiak and Sons. “One of the fi rst steps to installing the Combined Heat and Power & Fuel Cell (CHP) at the Justice Complex is the consolidation of the exterior electric service,” said Assistant Administrator Michael Fiure. “This work will require the removal of the existing concrete from the plaza at the Justice Complex. “It’s key the public is aware that some changes will take place in order to access the building safely,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little. “We are doing all we can to make sure notification is made to the public prior to work beginning.” While this is also going on, the upgrades to the stairs, handicapped access ramp and doors leading will be worked on by A Plus Glass and Metal, Hasbrook Heights, which should take approximately 120 days. “These upgrades including new automatic doors, and improvements to the stairs and handicapped ramp will allow for better and safer access into the building by all of our visitors,” Vicari said. “Once it’s all back together, the public will enjoy a new plaza area by the Justice Complex.”

One of the first symptoms experienced by those suffering from the condition known as “myasthenia gravis,” a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease that causes weakness in the skeletal muscles, is drooping of one or both eyelids. More than half of those who develop myasthenia gravis experience first signs and symptoms of the condition that involve eye problems. Along with “ptosis” (eyelid droopiness), myasthenia gravis patients may also experience “diplopia” (double vision) in addition to other symptoms elsewhere in their bodies. Symptoms of ptosis and diplopia can both be explained by an interruption in the communication that normally takes place between nerves and muscles. Once diagnosed (sometimes with the help of an ophthalmologist), there are various medical treatments for myasthenia gravis. Double vision that results from myasthenia gravis is usually treated by blocking the vision from one eye. Either the patient can wear an eye patch or place scotch tape over one lens in the eyeglasses. To schedule an eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 9 - JUne 15 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Luck has little to do with it. Hold off until the end of the week to test your luck on games of chance. Those in charge may expect you to be efficient and proficient so it is a good idea to get your priorities straight. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It is always darkest before the dawn. A family problem will have a simple solution. Your brilliant ideas won’t get much airplay now, but you could organize them and present them later in the week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Remain optimistic and repeat positive mantras to ward off suspicions and mistrust. Tell a few jokes and find ways to put people at ease. Avoid misunderstandings by being open minded and forgiving as this week unfolds. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Money comes in and money goes out. It is in your best interest to remain philosophical about holding on to it. You might be spurred to achieve greater financial stability by partners in the upcoming week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be wise when you make your buys. Wait until late in the week to make key purchases or financial decisions. The desire for more luxurious furnishings or the need to provide for family members may egg you on. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t join the band of people who refuse to understand. Gossip can drive a wedge between you and a friend. In the week to come you would be wise to sidestep controversies and to choose your companions wisely.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): First things first. This might be a good week to make improvements or fixes in the household, but you must focus on fulfilling your obligations toward others before you will have the time to handle your own. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The possibilities are endless. Because you are cooperative and optimistic you are apt to hook up with helpful people this week. Determined effort will create positive results if you are cautious about cash outlays. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may have a blind spot. You might be unaware that someone has done you a favor behind the scenes. Remain thrifty in the upcoming week even if it doesn’t make sense to do so in some situations. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sometimes rules seem illogical. Your complaints and suggestions will probably fall on deaf ears, so you should keep your own counsel in the upcoming week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There is no reason to conceal your net worth, talents or abilities. Your partner or significant other might have a valuable idea and need your input or resources to make it a reality. The second half of the week is best. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It may be sunny by the pool but there may still be shadows behind the hedge. Exert your charm to soothe ruffled feathers. Even healthy relationships can fall prey to temporary misgivings or doubts in the week ahead.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Berry Sweet: Create The Perfect Showcase For Fresh Berries With This Rice Tart By Wolfgang Puck RICE TART WITH FRESH BERRIES Serves 6 to 8 For the sugar dough: 2/3 pound (335 g) unsalted butter, slightly softened 2 1/4 cups (560 mL) pastry flour 2 1/4 cups (560 mL) all-purpose flour Pinch kosher salt 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar 2 large egg yolks 4 teaspoons heavy cream 1 to 2 tablespoons ice water, if needed For the tart filling: 1/2 cup (125 mL) Arborio rice 2 cups (500 mL) whole milk Zest of 2 oranges 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise with a sharp knife, seeds carefully scraped out and reserved 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 4 large egg yolks 1/2 cup Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur 2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream, lightly whipped About 2 cups (500 mL) fresh raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or sliced strawberries, plus extra for garnish At least several hours ahead, prepare the sugar dough: Cut the butter into large pieces, and place in a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade. Add the flours, salt and sugar. Pulse the machine on and off until the butter is evenly distributed. Add the egg yolks and cream. Mix continuously just until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl, adding a little ice
water if needed; do not overmix. Remove the dough and, on a lightly floured surface, flatten into a round. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours or overnight. For the tart, preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Roll the dough to a thickness of about 3/8 inch (9 mm). Use it to line an 8-inch (25-cm) pie tin or tart tin. Place the tin on a baking sheet, line it with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights. Bake until golden brown. Remove from the oven, leaving the oven on, and leave the tart shell at room temperature to cool. Remove the pie weights. For the tart filling: Put the rice in a saucepan, and add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Drain in a wire-meshed sieve. Put the milk, orange zest, vanilla bean seeds and pod, and sugar in an ovenproof saucepan. Add the rice and bring to a boil. Cover, place in the 350 F (175 C) oven, and cook until the rice is tender-chewy and the liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, put the softened butter in a mixing bowl and stir vigorously with a sturdy wooden spoon until smooth and creamy. One at a time, add the egg yolks, beating each into the butter with the wooden spoon until thoroughly incorporated before adding the next. The mixture should look smooth and satiny. When the rice is done, transfer the saucepan to the stovetop over very low heat, remove and discard the vanilla pod, and whisk in the butter-egg mixture, stirring until thickened. Stir in the Grand Marnier, remove from the heat and leave at room temperature to cool. Transfer the rice mixture to a mixing bowl. With a sturdy rubber spatula, fold in the lightly whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate until nearly set. Line the bottom of the tart shell with about half of the berries in an even layer. Pour in the rice mixture, smooth it out and refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Decorate the top with most of the remaining berries. To serve, use a sharp knife to cut into wedges, transfer to serving plates, and garnish the plates with a few more berries.
