Local Athletes Hammer Stafford Intros Home Wins For Their Colleges Plastic Bag Ban By Kimberly Bosco STAFFORD – Have your reusable shopping bags handy because plastic bags might be out, and environmentalism in. Stafford Council unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance regulating and limiting the use of plastics in the township at a recent meeting. This ordinance was reintroduced after months of honing it, following its first introduction back at the February 13 meeting. At that time, the proposal faced some resident opposition causing the council to rethink the timing of the ban. Mayor John Spodofora stated that the council wished to meet with local businesses on the matter. “We took great care to contact all the businesses in the town, get feedback from them, and work with them to get the ordinance where we need it to be so it can work for everybody,” he said. Back in March, Jersey Shore Online also reported that Spodofora and then-Councilman

The 6-footer won the hammer at 66.33 meters (217-7) not far behind her lifetime-best 66.99 meters mark she posted at the NCAA Championships where she was fourth. Her three fair throws were the longest individual marks recorded by the entire field. Wilson won the shot put at 16.80 meters (55-1/2). It will be her third time representing Team USA in the shot put as she previously did so in 2016 and 2017.

Bill To Help Korean DMZ Veterans Passes House From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur WASHI NGTON, D.C. - C o n g r e s s m a n To m Ma cA r t hu r, whose fa-
ther ser ved du r i ng the Korean War, announced that legislation he intro-
duced to help veterans who are suffering from Agent Orange or other herbicide-related conditions has been included in the Blue Water Navy Viet nam Veterans Act, which passed the House of Representatives. “The inclusion of the Fairness for Korean DMZ Veterans Act in the bill
which passed the House today is a major victory for our veterans serving at the Korea DMZ during the Vietnam era. I started working on this issue thanks to a meeting with Garf ield Har per, a Korean DMZ veteran who lives in Burlington County. This is a major step in righting a wrong that far
too many veterans have lived with for too long,” said Congressman Tom MacA r thur (R-3 rd ). “As a cosponsor of the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act, I am grateful t o s e e t h i s leg i slat ion pass. I look for ward to continuing to work with my colleag ues on both sides of the aisle to pro-
vided quality care for our veterans.” Bot h t he Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act and the Fairness for Korea n DM Z Vetera ns Act have received broad bipar tisan suppor t and have been backed by multiple veterans’ organizations including the VFW and the American Legion.
Bill Would Provide Funding For September 11th Memorial Sites Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
WASHI NGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ), along with Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) introduced a bill that would establish a federal grant program to help support the memorials dedicated to commemorating the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. The September 11th National Memorials Act creates a
funding stream to support the security, maintenance and successful operations of The World Trade Center site, the United 93 Memorial, and the Pentagon Memorial. “The terrorist attacks of September 11th remain a vivid memory for all of us who saw a bright day turn into a living nightmare. As we remember those who perished on that dreadful day, we must back up our pledge to never forget with
real action in support of the memorials erected in their honor,” said Sen. Menendez. “I’m proud to join Senator Booker to introduce legislation that will help keep our 9/11 memorials running smoothly and securely for every American who wishes to honor the memories of the mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, friends and neighbors we lost that day.” “These memorial sites are the sacred ground where Americans come to remember, reflect, and pay their respects,” Sen. Booker said. “We must never forget the horror of that terrible day, the lives that were lost, and the people whose lives were forever changed. That’s why it’s incumbent
on us to keep these sites secure and accessible to all Americans for generations to come.” The World Trade Center site hosts over six million visitors each year; the United 93 Memorial and Pentagon Memorial each receive several hundred thousand. Each site runs important educational programs that provide opportunities for students to learn about the tragic events of September 11th. Ongoing security and maintenance needs remain top concerns deserving of federal support. Specifically, the Septem-

ber 11th National Memorials Act would: • Authorize up to $25 million in annual funding to ensure the security, maintenance, and successful operations and educational programs at the memorials established to commemorate the events of September 11, 2001 • Support continuing important policies such as free admission to all facilities for active and retired members of the military, registered fi rst responders to the attacks of September 11, 2001, and family members of victims of the attacks of
September 11, 2001 • Support dedicated free admission hours for the general public at least once a week • Require grant recipients to provide to the Department of Interior and the public comprehensive fi nancial disclosure information to ensure careful stewardship of taxpayer dollars This is the fi rst time such legislation has been introduced in the Senate. A similar bill, introduced by Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-3rd), was passed by the US House in 2016.
WIDE ASLEEP
As confounding as it may seem, it is estimated that 20% of the population sleeps with their eyes open. The medical term for this inability to close the eyelids completely during sleep, “nocturnal lagophthalmos,” occurs as a result of problems with facial nerves or muscles that make it difficult to keep the eyes fully closed. Problems with skin surrounding the eyelids may also play a role. As a result of this eyelid difficulty, those affected wake up with the feeling of dryness and graininess in their eyes. Other symptoms include eye redness, blurred vision, light sensitivity, scratchiness, and poor sleep quality. One surgical treatment for nocturnal lagophthalmos involves the insertion of an implant that serves as an eyelid weight. Some doctors believe that the incidence of lagophthalmos is increasing, possibly due in part to the growing popularity of surgeries such as blepharoplasty. If performed incorrectly, this procedure can cause lagophthalmos or worsen an existing case. To schedule an eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732349-5622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

excellent lessons pertaining to bicycle safety issues. Member Jim Collery, also a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, was on hand providing excellent instructions about water safety. Township nurse, Ann Pepe, gave the children excellent lessons about safety and protection from the sun. A mechanic from Walter’s Bikes of Ship Bottom tuned up about 35 of the children’s bicycles. Kids Need Kiwanis and Kiwanis LBI gives the kids as much as they possibly can.
Can I Drive A Golf Cart On The Road?
STAFFORD – Stafford Police say yes. In Stafford Township there is no ordinance to restrict ‘Low Speed Vehicles (LSV)’. However, there are State restrictions to operate a golf cart (LSV). Here are some answers to address the basics: • You may not drive LSVs on roadways with speed limits that exceed 25 mph. Roadway does include the shoulder. • A LSV is a four-wheeled vehicle with an attainable speed of more than 20 miles per hour, but no more than 25 miles per hour on a paved surface. It cannot be powered by gas or diesel fuel and must comply with federal safety standards as noted in 49 CFR 571.500. • Child restraints in LSVs must meet the
same standards as those used in passenger vehicles. • You must have a valid driver’s license to operate a LSV. • A LSV may be registered in the name of an individual, business or government entity, but may not be used as a commercial vehicle. • You are subject to the same violations as other vehicles. • All LSVs shall have a safety information decal provided by the manufacturer on the rear of the vehicle. • If you have only one license plate, you must put it on the rear of the vehicle. • LSVs must meet Federal and State requirements.

Women’s Auxiliary Donates New Equipment
SURF CITY – Our Women’s Auxiliary of the Surf City Volunteer Fire Company and EMS recently donated funds to purchase two new Cardiac Science G5 Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). They have been placed in service on our Ambulances, replacing the current 14 year old ones. With the purchase of the two new AEDs, this has now enabled us to take one of the old ones, place it in our Utility Vehicle, and place the other in a cabinet in our Firehouse hall, making it readily available during an event if needed. Now, every Fire Company vehicle is AED equipped, and our Ambulances now have top of the line AEDs with the latest technology to better serve the residents and visitors of our community. In addition, our Ladies have donated the funds for a new Akron portable scene light, which has been placed on our Rescue Engine. Having this extremely bright battery powered portable scene light is an asset to us as there are many instances when are working in a place that is beyond the reach of our extension cord reels for our existing corded scene lights.

Become a Volunteer Confidential Sexual Violence Advocate
LONG BEACH TOWNSHIP – Has the #MeToo movement encouraged you to become involved in the anti-sexual violence movement? We have a way you can get involved! St. Francis Counseling Service of Ocean County is now taking applications for the Confidential Sexual Violence Advocate (CSVA) Training Program. The trainings are held from 6 to 9 p.m. every Monday for 12 weeks beginning September 10 through December 10, 2018. After completing the training, you will be on call to provide sexual assault survivors crisis intervention, information, and referrals by phone and in person. Advocates may respond to a survivor for an accompaniment at one of four Ocean County Hospitals, any Ocean County Police Department, or the Ocean County Prosecutors Office. If you are an Ocean County resident motivated to provide guidance, support and information to survivors and would like to volunteer time in your community, please
consider joining our team. Here are some messages from our team members! “This is my own way of helping survivors to feel empowered and not afraid to speak up when they are violated. Lately, women are finding their voices! Hooray!” said one Confidential Sexual Violence Advocate. “I had overheard a sexual assault survivor being told if they hadn’t drunk so much this would not have happened. I love forensics and anthropology and it combined the two,” said a Forensic Nurse Examiner. Held at the St. Francis Community Center, 4700 Long Beach Boulevard, Brant Beach, New Jersey. Contact: Lori Dudek PR Coordinator, ext. 118 Great experience for social work, counseling, psychology, sociology and criminal justice majors!

Animal Shows A county fair is not complete without animal shows. Unless noted, these will be running throughout the entire fair. The 4-H will continue to showcase the animals they have raised and cared for, as well as other educational and artistic projects. The Toms River Police Department and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department will both have K-9 demonstrations on Wednesday evening. A pony ride will be available. The vendor is from Forked River. Pig racing, a longtime staple, will return. The owner of this company is from Jackson. Marvelous Mutts will return, showing off dog tricks of agility, running, and diving. Fair History The fair is in its 71st year. It started at the Ocean County Park in Lakewood, but outgrew it in the 1980s. It was then relocated to Berkeley Township where it resides today. It used to be an agricultural show, for local farmers to show off their crops, Adams said. However, as farming gave way to housing and commercial development, there are very few farms left locally. The 4-H has taken on the agricultural aspect of the fair, showing off what families have grown and nurtured.

Ban:
Continued From Page 1 Steve Jeffries had a meeting on the ban. Jeffries, although he has since resigned, was the only council member who advocated against the proposed ban. “This environmental stuff has been built to the point that it just keeps going, it’s never enough, it never stops,” he said, emphasizing that the ban exemplifies how he believes government bureaucracy has pervaded into our own individual lives. However, despite this, months of research and impending state legislation have motivated the council to move on this action. A new bill, A-3267/S-2600, proposing a 5 cent tax on single use plastic and paper bags was passed by the legislature on June 21 and is awaiting approval by Governor Phil Murphy. According to Spodofora, the council wanted to impose its own solution to the problem with plastic to stay ahead, noting that the imposed tax “just doesn’t make any sense.” “A tax on plastic bags does not solve any of the problems, does not solve the additional cost…and does not solve any of the environmental problems associated with plastic bags,” he said, calling the bill “totally ridiculous.” While Spodofora noted that he understands state regulation can overrule that of municipalities, he hopes that Governor Murphy opts against signing this one into law. “We will take the chance…hopefully
The Southern Ocean Times, July 7, 2018, Page 13 greater minds will prevail, and the state will not pass this [law].” The changes to the Stafford ordinance exist mainly in the exceptions to the rule. The proposal intends to limit plastic bag usage and encourage reusable canvas bag usage in the township, making it so that “no business or store shall provide any single-use plastic carryout bags…except as otherwise provided.” These exceptions include: • Bags used for medical purposes • Bags for produce, meat, fish, poultry, frozen foods, flowers, deli, etc. • Bags used for live fish • Dry cleaner and door hanger bags • Bags sold in packages i.e. garbage liners • Bags used to deliver newspapers • Customers using food assistance programs If the ordinance passes, then local businesses have up to 120 days following passage to use their existing supply of plastics before they must switch over. At the meeting, the council received a show of support when resident Barbara Reynold spoke up in favor of the ban, saying “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” Reynolds explained that she has taken it upon herself to attempt living 100 percent plastic free. She uses shampoo bars, bamboo tooth brushes, and even makes garbage bags from newspapers. While this is not expected of everyone, a small step such as a limit on plastic bags is a change for good, she remarked.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Meeting The Needs Of Geriatrics With Hearing Impairment
Hearing loss is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions affecting geriatrics in the United States. Frequently, hearing loss goes unnoticed or its impact is underestimated since hearing loss is an “invisible handicap.” Untreated hearing loss has the potential to negatively affect interpersonal relationships, increase stress and fatigue, cause depression, frustration, anger, low self-esteem and a sense of isolation. It has been well documented that proper treatment, intervention strategies and support services can eradicate undesirable effects of a hearing impairment. The National Institute on Deafness and Communication Disorders (NJDCD) suggests the following questions to help with the identification of a hearing loss: 1. Do people complain that you turn the television or radio too high? 2. Do you find yourself asking people to repeat? 3. Do you misunderstand what others are saying and respond inappropriately? 4. Do you have trouble following a conversation when two or more people are talking at the same time? Recognizing the signs of hearing loss and making the appropriate referral to hearing health care professionals is the next step. Audiologists can perform a complete hearing evaluation to verify that hearing loss exists, describe the type and cause, explain the degree of hearing loss, evaluate the impact of hearing loss on the individual and family members and recommend appropriate treatment strategies. Quite often, it is difficult to communicate with the hearing impaired individual. Some communication strategies and methods that are often successful in communicating with the hearing
impaired individual include: a) Getting the person’s attention before speaking. b) Facing the listener while speaking. c) Maintaining eye contact. d) Allowing adequate light to fall on the face of the speaker. e) Using facial expressions and features to convey the meaning. f) Speaking clearly, a little more slowly and in short sentences. g) Speaking in a normal tone of voice. Caregivers and/or family members should consider the auditory needs of the elderly person with the hearing loss in one to one and group communication environments. When hearing loss has been identified, caregivers should explore alternatives for compensating the loss and maintaining adequate communication strategies. These options may include hearing aids and other assistive listening devices as well as modification of their environment. In addition to hearing aids, auxiliary aid options include pocket talkers, FM personal systems, induction loops, infrared systems and telephone equipment, including TTYs. In addition, for the severely hearing impaired, visual and vibrating warning systems (smoke alarms, door bells and alarm clocks), caption television; real-time captioning and computer desk assisted note taking are available. Environmental modifications such as eliminating or reducing background noise and visual distractions, removing visual objects which obstruct the view of the listener and sound proofing rooms (e.g. using acoustic tiling, draperies and carpeting), managing room temperature, arranging for comfortable seating and sitting in a circle, all contribute to an improved listening environment.
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!

9 Quick Hacks For Leg Cramps By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Some of you have to jump out of bed really fast to mitigate a leg cramp, usually in the back of the calf, or in your thigh. Leg cramps are not only painful, but they are a leading cause of fitful sleeping, insomnia and daytime fatigue. They speak to bigger problems too, such as dehydration, nutritional deficiencies and sometimes depression. This is because the root cause might be due to an imbalance in one of several key minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc or sodium. Today my article will help you deal more effectively with nocturnal leg cramps so you can sleep through the night and feel better during the day. Now, here are a few of the best hacks for leg cramps: Avoid sorbitol There’s an interesting case study about a 34-year old woman who put herself on a diet that consisted of low sorbitol (and low fructose). She essentially cured herself of long-standing leg cramps within a few weeks. Reduce aspirin and ibuprofen Many NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are known to be drug muggers of natural folate. A deficiency of this B vitamin will produce chronic leg cramps. Take CoQ10 with your statin If you take a statin like lovastatin, atorvastatin or others, you should be taking CoQ10 or Ubiquinol every day. Avoid large doses of vitamin C If you take too much vitamin C, it can
upset your stomach and cause diarrhea. Then you’re faced with dehydration and that’s a trigger for leg cramps. Cut back on caffeine Caffeine is a diuretic, so it causes mild dehydration. You may have noticed that on days you drink a lot of coffee, or have several energy drinks, you have more leg cramps. Not only that, but the chlorogenic acid in coffee is a drug mugger for magnesium, iron and zinc. Drink Coconut Water This is a natural electrolyte, and I think it’s healthier for you than those strangely colored drinks that are loaded with sugar and artificial colors. Heat up a microwavable hot pack Heat one of these up and it’s sweet relief on your sore muscles. You can heat it up right after you cramp, and apply it to ease the pain faster. Drink a little pickle juice This should not help, but it actually does. It’s probably from the salt in the flavoring or from the vinegar. The salt would help with electrolyte balance, the vinegar might serve as a mild muscle relaxant. Try a massager The hand-held devices that provide percussion might bring instant relief. There are many at Brookstone, or on Amazon such as the Pure-Wave CM7 Cordless Massager. I have a much longer version of this article that I can send to you.

Have You Lost Your Manners?
Dear Joel, I’m sure I’m speaking for a lot of people. Every summer, we have many out of town visitors, but some of them seem to have forgotten to pack their manners. They complain about the shampoo, the coffee, and what’s in the fridge. They leave laundry around, mess up the bathroom, and stay up all hours talking on their phones. They need little items like suntan lotion and water. C’mon, I’m a home owner, not a hotel owner. I really don’t mind having guests, but I how can I get them to behave? Answer My wife and I like to head trouble off before it happens so she prepares a welcome basket, with some hotel-sized shampoos and body lotions, some snacks and a pair of sunglasses. Along with the goodies we tuck a little ‘Welcome to our Home’ book, with important informa-
tion like phone numbers, passwords, etc. along with the names and addresses of local pharmacies, Walmart, grocery stores, etc. This way guests will be able to pick up supplies without raiding or criticizing ours. The book also gives them our guidelines about work schedules, neighborhood rules, etc. It’s a subtle way to let them know what we expect from them. Finally we have a mini dorm-room style fridge, so our guests can have their favorite drinks and foods. If they still run wild in your home, remind them that they are guests and hopefully they’ll behave that way. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Local Company Recalls Product From ShopRite Shelves
By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – Almost 11,000 pounds of canned chicken gravy have been recalled from shelves by Vineland based company, Aunt Kitty’s Foods, due to underprocessing. Aunt Kitty’s Foods produces canned chicken gravy for ShopRite, as well as under other brand names including Price Rite and Western Beef. The US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspections stated that on June 19 numerous cans were discovered to show signs of bulging, an indication of underprocessing. The cans were reportedly produced on April 4. The recall was issued on June 26 as was
attributed to problems in the labeling process, according to the Department. The affected products are listed as the following 10.5 ounce cans: • “ShopRite Chicken GRAVY” with lot code 1809515, 1809525, 1809535, and 1809545 and a best by date of June 2021. • “Price Rite Chicken GRAVY” with lot code 1809515, 1809525, 1809535, and 1809545 and a best by date of June 2021. • “Western Beef Chicken GRAVY” with lot codes 1809515, 1809525, 1809535, and 1809545 and a best by date of June 2021. The Department recommends customers throw the cans away or return them to the stores where they were purchased.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Ripped Off? Now What?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Michael J. Deem of R.C. Shea and Associates Have you been ripped off by a car dealer, a home improvement contractor or some other business? Remember, there is no such thing as a “free lunch.” Anytime someone tries to sell you something, you should take everything they say with a grain of salt. This is particularly true when you purchase a car, buy a home, hire someone to remodel your house, pay for any other type of goods and/ or services, and particularly where you are entering into some type of written agreement. Unfortunately, we live in a society today where some businesses make claims or representations that turn out not to be true or omit to tell you an important item, for example, that an automobile has been in a severe prior accident or a home has a wet basement. Make no mistake, fraud is rampant in New Jersey. The Division of Consumer Affairs reports that the largest source of complaints concern car dealers and home improvement contractors. However there are other dishonest businesses that rip off consumers for small amounts of money – which add up to a lot of profits for the business. When the amount is small, you may think that your damages are too small to hire an attorney and may not be worth the time to do something about it. The New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act Fortunately, New Jersey has a remedy – the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act- is the strongest consumer protection law in the nation. If you have been the victim of a misrepresentation, deception, fraud, false pretense or the omission of an important material fact, you may be entitled to three times your damages plus payment of your attorney’s fees by the defendant business if you have suffered the loss of money. The Consumer Fraud Act covers almost every sale of merchandise and services. The purpose of the Act is to promote honesty and fair dealing in the marketplace. For example, any affirmative misrepresentation by a seller results in liability regardless of whether the representation was made in good faith or negligently. Businesses are presumed to have a superior knowledge of the goods and services that they sell as well as superior knowledge of the laws and regulations that govern your business. Accordingly, they are
strictly liable for committing consumer fraud. The purpose of the Act is to encourage private attorneys to represent Michael J. Deem consumers in disputes that involve small damages otherwise consumers would not be able to obtain representation. The defendant is required to pay the successful consumer’s attorney’s fees and costs. An Ounce Of Prevention Is Worth A Pound Of Cure When you deal with a home-improvement contractor or other seller, try to limit the amount that you make as a down payment. The more money that pay a contractor upfront, the greater the risk they will delay the job, not return to finish the work, or not make corrections. There have been many stories where a contractor took a deposit and never returned to start the job or only did a little work and never returned. When purchasing a used car, you should always get a CARFAX and you should always take the vehicle to your trusted mechanic and have it tested. Make sure that any verbal representations that are made by the dealer are put in writing. Always read the agreement! Many times, the agreements contain paragraphs that limit the liability of the seller, require you to give up consumer protection rights, or say things that are completely opposite from that which the seller has verbally promised. Although “Buyer Beware” is not the law in New Jersey, not reading or understanding the terms of the agreement you sign is no defense—the seller is not required to explain the agreement and you cannot rely on the verbal representations when entering into a written contract. The litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C. Shea & Associates handle consumer fraud claims on a contingency basis. If there is no recovery, there is no fee. You are not asked to pay any attorney’s fees upfront because if we are successful, the defendant seller will pay your fees. Call us for a free consultation: 732-505-1212.

Essential Oils For Seasonal Allergies
By Grace Orosza, RN-BC, CCAP, Integrative Nurse Practitioner When I was growing up in Chicago, I can vividly remember how I looked forward to the change of seasons – ALL FOUR OF THEM! The mid-west was an open, clean, fresh place to live. I spent most of my free time outdoors. We almost never played inside. We had many wonderful forest preserves, lakes and hiking paths. I loved being in nature. At the time, I was unaware of how pollen and grasses affected people. I never had a problem with any seasonal allergies. However, I knew several people that did. I would privately make fun of them, in my mind. I just could not believe that people could be suffering so miserably with allergies, hay fever, sinusitis etc. It seemed almost “too dramatic” for me. However, I tried to understand how maybe it affected them and make an effort to be sympathetic. They were always going for Sinus X-rays, CT Scans and using a plethora of antihistamines, decongestants and steroidal sprays and inhalers. Then, about 27 years ago, I moved to the East Coast. Initially the seasons were pretty much
the same, but not for long. Everything started to change. Perhaps the unhealthy climate changes, our polluted environment and dramatic fluctuations in the barometric pressure contributed to my newly developing allergy symptoms: sinus pressure, headaches, congestion, sneezing, phlegm and an annoying cough. OH BROTHER, NOT ME, I thought! I found myself in the same position as I mentioned above – blame KARMA! There I was with a cabinet full of all the over the counter (OTC) allergy medications you could imagine, and pretty much addicted to Sudafed. Then I just could not stand taking those chemicals anymore. They made me feel so crummy! Can anybody relate? It was about that time that I had a personal and spiritual awakening, about my health and my life... I knew I needed to be more mindful of looking for a natural and holistic approach to treating this condition, as well as in my life in general. This is when I started using Essential Oils to treat my sinus and upper respiratory symptoms. I use them religiously and have to say that I cannot remember the last time I took an OTC
allergy medication. Allergens trigger symptoms in the nose, throat, lungs, ears and sinuses. Therefore, I thought perhaps you might like to try something a little different if you suffer with these symptoms. I diffuse essential oils in my home almost constantly. I switch up my essential oil choices depending on the time of year and the symptoms I have. Here a few tips that might help you too! First, find yourself a moderately priced diffuser with an ultrasonic cool mist humidifier. They hold anywhere from 150 ml – 500 ml of water. Be sure to get one that has a timer and an automatic shutoff. Lavender Essential Oil works as a natural antihistamine and possesses strong anti-inflammatory properties that will treat and relieve most allergic reactions. Peppermint Essential Oil is strong, fresh and minty and opens clogged sinuses almost immediately. It also has anti-inflammatory, pain relieving and decongestant relieving abilities. It opens airways and relieves a scratchy throat. Holy Basil Essential Oil reduces the inflammatory response of allergens, and supports our
immune system overall. It has antimicrobial abilities and can remove toxins from our system, as well as clear airways. Eucalyptus Essential Oil opens up the sinus and lungs, therefore improving circulation, which reduces the symptoms of allergies. It works as an expectorant, but also has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Lemon Essential Oil works as a natural antihistamine relieving excess mucous and cools down inflammatory reaction. It also helps with respiratory conditions. Lemon is also known for its anti-bacterial properties. It’s best used in a blend with Lavender and Peppermint. Depending on the capacity of your diffuser, use 2-5 drops of any of these oils mentioned, in whatever combination you like. You could also use 1 drop of each of these oils on a tissue and just directly inhale deeply. Experiment to find the combination that gives you the most relief. As a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist, this affirms for me that this is the best treatment for so many ailments. Here’s hoping that this information brings you some healthier options for relief this allergy season.
Toms River Honors Radio Legend Bob Levy
By Jason Allentoff TOMS RIVER – Bob Levy, the Ocean County radio icon who was there when WOBM signed on the air 50 years ago, was recently honored with a special ceremony in Downtown Toms River. Levy died on March 1st at the age of 86, which was also the anniversary of the radio signal’s launch. He helped build the station and was an integral part of its success. Toms River officials along with Bob’s wife Marianne, family, friends, fans and many
of Bob’s co-workers attended the unveiling of “Bob Levy Way.” It’s the street that runs behind Toms River Town Hall near the Townsquare Media headquarters. WOBM’s Kevin Williams, who has been with the station almost 40 years, gave a short speech. He recalls Bob fondly. “Bob was the person who hired me 39 years ago and for that entire time was a co-worker, confidant, mentor and friend. His impact on WOBM is immeasurable. He was the original employee and for 50 years, did just about everything
you can do in the radio business from sports director to host and general manager.” Williams also described Bob as unique saying “if Bob were alive today, he would likely complain that it wasn’t a more well-known street like Washington Street or Hooper Avenue. The good news is no one will complain about the traffic on Bob Levy Way.” Mayor Tom Kelaher and Councilman Maurice “Mo” Hill also spoke and the ceremony. Marianne Levy, Bob’s wife and radio co-host, fought back tears. She said “He made me who
I am today. He was always about community. If anyone asked him for anything, he never hesitated or said no. He never asked for anything in return. Never wanted any kind of recognition. Never wanted to be put on a pedestal. Well, guess what Bob, you’re on a pole today.” In March, the Township Council passed a resolution to name the street in honor of Bob’s 50 years of service to the community.

What to Expect after a Total Knee Replacement A Physical Therapy Perspective
By: Joel Maietta, DPT, Brick Physical Therapist and Facility Manager DOES THE IDEA OF A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT SCARE YOU? While the thought of having a total knee replacement sounds daunting and arduous, there are many misconceptions regarding rehabilitation following the surgery. Often people run (not literally) from the idea of having this surgery because they hear horror stories of painful therapy sessions and a long grueling recovery period. However, with proper education, motivation, and the guidance of a skilled rehabilitation team, recovery should be nothing to worry about. WHY DO PEOPLE NEED TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENTS? The primary reason people require a total knee replacement is to rid their knee of a painful condition called Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis develops when the
process begins right away in the hospital following surgery when a skilled physical therapist begins showing you the proper technique for getting out of bed, getting up from chairs, and even walking with the use of a walker! Many are surprised that these once painful activities now feel easier and more comfortable! Once the medical staff and rehabilitation team determine you can move around safely and have proper support at home you will be discharged from the hospital. Most people only end up staying in the hospital for a few days. In some cases additional medical monitoring is needed and you may be placed in a rehabilitation hospital in which you will receive guided Physical and Occupational Therapy while under the supervision of doctors and nurses. This stay usually lasts a few days to a week and then you are allowed to return to your household. Once you have made it back to your home your doctor may or may not request a therapist visit your home for a few days to continue with exercises and assist with daily activity training. Following a few home therapy sessions your doctor will direct you to begin Outpatient Physical Therapy at a facility of your choice. HOW DO I CHOOSE WHERE TO GO FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY FOLLOWING A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT?
smooth cartilage that cushions your joint starts to break down resulting in stiffness, pain, and that “grinding” sensation you feel in your knee. Unfortunately, our bodies are unable to reproduce adequate cartilage to repair the lost cushioning. As a result, a surgeon must often times perform surgery to replace these painful joint surfaces with artificial materials. This allows for the return of smooth, pain-free motion in your knee. WHAT DOES REHABILITATION CONSIST OF AFTER A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT? The key to a successful recovery is early exercise and activity to facilitate the healing process and prevent stiffness in the knee. Our bodies are amazing healers and immediately start repairing following the surgery with the production of scar tissue. However, movement directs the alignment of this new scar tissue, so the earlier and more often you begin moving, the easier your recovery will be! Therefore, the rehabilitation
When choosing a facility for this phase of rehabilitation it is important to research your options by talking to doctors and previous patients to find the place that is right for you. Outpatient Physical Therapy is your final step to a full recovery and also the longest step. That being said it is important to find a place where you feel safe, comfortable, and where all your goals and needs will be heard and attended to. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WITH MY OUTPATIENT REHABILITATION FOLLOWING A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT?
on specific techniques to improve the mobility of your knee to allow you to move with the least amount of pain possible. Once your mobility and strength start to improve, other activities are included to improve your ability to walk without any assistive devices as well as exercises to allow you to walk up and down stairs. Most people are able to walk without a cane or walker as early as 4-6 weeks after their surgery! Your Therapist will also discuss any additional goals you may have including returning to activities such as golf, tennis, and swimming. These are all realistic goals which can be attained with proper guidance by your Therapist. At All-Care Physical Therapy we specialize in innovative approaches to make your recovery from a Total Knee Replacement as painless and enjoyable as possible. Our friendly staff and skilled therapists will attend to your every need and get you back to your life, so fear not the dreaded Total Knee Replacement!

You will be spending 2-3 days a week in physical therapy for sessions lasting around one hour, however it is expected that you perform home exercises daily because the time spent in therapy alone is not enough for a full and functional recovery. In the facility, a skilled Physical Therapist will work with you to further improve your ability to straighten and bend your knee as well as progress the strength of your whole leg.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of july 7 - JUly 13 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may begin the week with extra energy and a willingness to explore uncharted waters and new relationships. Outside influences can’t rock a rock-solid relationship based on mutual trust. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Love fits you like a glove. Your interest in the world around may attract people from diverse backgrounds, but you may attract that special someone you have been looking for as well. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you perform a job well, you expect to enjoy recognition and adequate compensation. Your efforts might be rewarded with more responsibilities and more tasks this week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Whether it is a pat on the back or a foot in the door use warmth and assertiveness to your advantage this week. Get plenty of exercise and stay fit especially if you work at a desk all day. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Nobody remembers people who just go through the motions. The person who goes the extra mile for perfection wins praise. Don’t be shy about showing off your abilities and skills this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Welcome exciting new ideas and talented people into your life in the week ahead. A chance meeting may bring you face-to-face with an ex-
tremely attractive or highly popular person. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Loyalty as well as patriotism may be tested in the week ahead. An exciting schedule of social activities may extend your network of contacts and friends. You may face the unexpected. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Use your social skills to put others at ease. Share your enthusiasms, hopes, and wishes with those you hold near and dear. This could be a good week to solidify key relationships. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A change of plans is not necessarily an obstacle to achieving your ambitions this week. There could be something going on behind the scenes that help you come out ahead financially. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your ambitious work ethic may win the notice of those in charge as this week unfolds. At the same time, your newfound success may spark a touch of envy in some colleagues. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t give up too soon. Success may follow a series of failures. The faster you get preliminary mistakes and errors out of the way this week, the sooner you can enjoy the rewards. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may not need to look far to receive the encouragement and support to get ahead. An adventure could await you if you stray from the beaten path in the upcoming week.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Berry Sweet: Enjoy Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream At Your Independence Day Celebration By Wolfgang Puck Though I was born and grew up in Austria, I have now lived in the United States for almost 45 years and I am proud to be a citizen. America has offered me amazing opportunities, and every day I feel grateful to live in this country. The Fourth of July has always been a special day to me. I love the relaxed, old-fashioned ways we celebrate American independence: parades, baseball games, picnics in the park or at the beach, cookouts, concerts, fi reworks. For a long time I’ve been fascinated with the kinds of things my fellow citizens love to cook and eat on the Fourth of July. There will be plenty of outdoor cooking, of course, from quickly grilled burgers, hot dogs, steaks, chops, kabobs, fish fillets and chicken to more slowly barbecued dishes like ribs, whole briskets and pulled pork. With every passing year, I’ve also been happy to see more vegetables cooked on the grill as side dishes or vegetarian main courses, since everything from onions and scallions to bell peppers, eggplants and zucchini all taste delicious when cooked with a touch of live fi re. Then come all sorts of other accompaniments, from potato salad to coleslaw, not to mention other traditional preparations like carrot-raisin salads, chopped vegetable salads, bean salads, and so on. Some people may also prepare pots of baked beans to carry from the kitchen to wherever the outdoor feast may be happening. And, of course, there are the necessary potato chips and corn chips, with dips like guacamole and salsas. What a feast! And I always love it when I’m invited to a party and can bring along a contribution. One of my favorite things to make for an Independence Day party is dessert. I know there will be all sorts of fresh-baked cookies, pies, cobblers, cakes and other baked goods, and I’ve brought along my share of these over the years. But this year, I’d like to share a recipe that’s always welcome and goes with just about everything: ice cream! Not just any ice cream, but one that features summertime’s glorious fresh strawberries. My fresh summer strawberry ice cream is easy to make. If you decide to shop for these ingredients on the Fourth of July, buy the freshest, ripest berries you can fi nd. In less than two easy hours of work, and with the help of an inexpensive automatic ice cream maker, you can have this delicious, classic ice cream chilling in your freezer, ready to pack in an ice chest and cart off to wherever the party may be happening. Happy Independence Day! F R E SH SU M M E R ST R AW B E R RY ICE CREAM Makes about 2 1/2 quarts (about 2.5 L)
For the strawberry compote: 4 pints (2 L) ripe strawberries, hulled 1 3/4 cups (435 mL) granulated sugar 1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh lemon juice 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise For the ice cream base: 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise 2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream 2 cups (500 mL) milk 8 large egg yolks 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar To serve: Lightly whipped cream Sliced fresh strawberries For the compote, in a 2-quart (2-liter) nonreactive saucepan, combine the berries, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla bean. Cook over medium-high heat for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally and gently breaking down the berries into a coarse puree while also regularly skimming off the foam that forms on top. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes longer. Set aside at room temperature. For the ice cream base, fi rst use the back edge of a small knife blade to carefully scrape the seeds from each half of the split vanilla bean, reserving both the seeds and the pod halves. In a large saucepan combine the cream, milk, vanilla bean pod halves and vanilla bean seeds; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, in a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar. Then, while whisking the yolks continuously, gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the yolks until fully incorporated. Near the stove, rest a wire-meshed sieve on the rim of a large, clean, heatproof bowl. Fill a larger bowl halfway with a mixture of ice cubes and water. Return the egg yolk-cream mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. Quickly strain the mixture through the sieve. Stir in the reserved compote. Rest the bowl inside the larger bowl of ice and water, taking care that none splashes into the ice cream mixture. Chill the mixture, stirring occasionally, until cold. Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer’s directions. Transfer it to 1 or 2 chilled freezer-proof containers, cover with plastic wrap or lids, and place in the freezer. If the ice cream has frozen solid, remove the container or containers from the freezer about 30 minutes before serving. Place 1 or 2 scoops into each chilled serving bowl. Pass bowls of softly whipped cream and sliced fresh strawberries to add to each serving as desired.
