By Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD – Gerald LaCrosse is faced with yet another new challenge. It’s not just the therapy to retrain his arms and legs to do what they’re supposed to. It’s not just to figure out his finances now that his main source of income is gone. It’s how to say “thank you” to everyone who provided help and encouragement these two long months. “Thank you” are just two words, and they aren’t enough to match the gratitude that’s in his heart. A lot of prayers and good thoughts were sent his way. He heard them loud and clear, and maybe someone upstairs did, too. He looked at the crowd at Beachwood Community Day, knowing that some of the people there helped out in the fundraisers, but with no way of knowing how to thank them. As he sat at one of the benches by the stage, people kept coming over to say hello and ask how he was doing. “I shouldn’t be feeling the way I am,” he said. Doctors had told him he would be in the hospital for two (Thanks - See Page 4)
Should South Seaside Park Leave Berkeley? By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – A public hearing over whether South Seaside Park should leave Berkeley Township will be held at 6 p.m. on Sept. 6 at the Municipal Building, located at 627 Pinewald-Keswick Road. For years, residents of South Seaside Park have considered leaving Berkeley Township. Recently, there has been a series of meetings at the Planning Board to determine whether this should happen. South Seaside Park is literally south of the borough of Seaside Park. It’s a strip of homes and businesses between Seaside Park and Island Beach State Park. Residents there have said that they don’t get as much for their tax dollar as a homeowner in Bayville or Pinewald. Their (South - See Page 5)

Families Come Out For Beachwood Community Day
By Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD – The third annual Beachwood Community Day was a mix of homegrown fun and local branches of businesses. Two rows of tents made up one section of Birch & Surf Park. There were people selling products, like clothes and jewelry. Some were contracted with national brands. Others were trying to get the word out (Families - See Page 5)

Continued From Page 1 months, and then in a rehabilitation hospital for another two to three months. Yet, two months and a day after the crash, he was home. “Whether it was prayers or everyone’s good wishes, I don’t know. Something got me out of bed,” he said. LaCrosse was seriously injured on June 11 when an SUV veered off Route 9 and totaled der Wunder Wiener hot dog truck, while he was inside. Doctors are making him walk with a cane, although he was able to show friends how he can turn it upside down and golf with it. His right arm is in a sling, and he has limited mobility right now. They had to remove his spleen and some intestine, which implies a lot of just how bad his internal injuries were. He celebrated his 74th birthday in the hospital. But minutes after describing his own physical challenges, LaCrosse was talking about the empathy he feels for other people in his situation. There are a lot of other people who have gone through debilitating

injuries – and they’re not doing as well as him. “Psychologically, I feel good. I know I lost a lot but there’s nothing I can do about that,” he said. Financially, the hot dog cart was his livelihood, and that’s gone now. He hinted at his medical bills, with some very high numbers. Fundraisers are helping with that. Two local PBAs, Berkeley Local 237 and Beachwood-Pine Beach Local 253, set up a hot dog stand for a weekend. On Beachwood Community Day, they presented him with a check for $15,000. They also had an envelope with checks in it that people had donated. Additionally, a GoFundMe had been set up by his niece, Charissa Fromm and LaCrosse’s son, Jerr y. It can be found at gofundme.com/gerald-lacrosse039s-huge-losshelp. As of press time, it had raised more than $11,500. Between those two fundraisers, his social security, and some pension money, he and his wife Beverly can make it until he opens der Wunder Wiener 2 sometime in the future. “It’s humbling. You don’t know how to express your thanks,” he said. He expected maybe 200 people to come to the PBA fundraiser, but it was in the thousands. Even on the day in downpoured. He never knew that he had such an impact on people. “I just thought they like the hot dogs.” The best thing he can think of is to pay it forward – to take their positivity and build on it. “It makes you feel really special, and that is what makes you want to do more for them.”

They’ve also said that there are not as many differences from South Seaside Park as the lagoon front properties in an area like Good Luck Point. They have also stated that the tax dollars go to programs that benefit all residents. It is unclear if the Planning Board will vote at the end of the meeting on whether to allow South Seaside Park to leave or if the vote will happen at a future meeting.

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Central Regional High School seniors got to paint spots in the parking lot as a fundraiser. Students paid $20 to decorate their spot, invoking pop culture references, inspirational messages, and inside jokes. The money goes to the senior class for the prom, trips, or the yearbook, Superintendent Triantafillos Parlapanides said.
This year, teachers could paint their spot for $25, and that money goes to senior scholarships. He thanked Mrs. Duffy and Mrs. Macintosh for their work on this project.

Plastic Bag Fee Would Not Have Helped Environment, Just Another Tax CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove
TR ENTON – Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Ru mpf a nd A sse mblywoman DiAnne C. Gove (all R-9 th) are calling Governor Murphy’s vetoing of legislation that would have imposed a 5 cent fee
on si ngle -use ca r r yout bags a welcome departure from the extensive roll call of tax increases imposed during state budget deliberations. The 9th District Legislators responded to Governor Murphy’s vetoing of legis-
lat ion (A-3267/S -260 0) which would have imposed a fee on the use of single-use carryout bags provided by certain types of stores to customers. Revenue generated by the fee was to be dedicated to the newly established “Health Schools and Community Lead Abatement Fund.” Con nors, Ru mpf a nd Gove conveyed their concerns as follows: “From the outset, it was obvious that the plastic bag fee was far more about raising revenue for the
state’s coffers than about protecting the environment. It wasn’t really a hard decision to oppose and vote against the fee in representing the interests of our constituents who are tired of being at the losing end of Trenton’s extreme taxation policies. “Like other stealth taxes before, revenue from the plastic bag fee would have been dedicated to a special fund. Trenton rarely adheres to laws establishing dedicated funds which can be easily disre-
garded and overridden by the state budget. Revenue is often siphoned off for other-than-intended use which only serves to infuriate taxpayers, consumers and businesses. “Even supporters of the proposed fee readily acknowledge it will hit persons with lesser incomes harder. Other wise they wouldn’t have exempted persons participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for
Women, Infants and Children, or the Work First New Jersey program. Seniors were originally to be exempted from the fee, but the bill was amended to remove their exemption most likely to ensure that more revenue could be raised, regardless if it posed a fi nancial hardship for some seniors. “ New Jer sey dodged another hit to its already unenviable reputation for being unaffordable by the governor’s vetoing of the plastic bag fee.”
FEMA Should Expedite Damage Assessments For Brick Flood From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur BRICK – Congressman Tom MacArthur called on the Federal Emergency Management Agency to expedite the Joint Preliminary Damage Assessments (PDA) for Individual Assistance. The State of New Jersey requested the PDA as a result of flooding that
occurred from August 1113, hitting the Township of Brick particularly hard. MacArthur was in Brick with Ocean County Sheriff Mike Mastronardy to meet with impacted residents and volunteers on Aug. 21, 2018. “I welcome SBA and FEMA’s assistance to the
ongoing efforts of the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management to gather information about the scope of damage caused by this storm,” wrote Cong ressman Tom MacA rthur. “Having spent time in Brick over the last week, I can tell you fi rsthand that Ocean County needs additional federal resources as soon as possible to help restore these neighborhoods and make these individuals whole again.” The full letter to FEMA is below: Dear Administrator Long,

The State of New Jersey has formally requested FEMA conduct Joint Preliminary Damage Assessments for Individual Assistance in a number of counties in New Jersey, including Ocean County in my district. This is a result of the flooding from August 11-13th that I previously wrote you about. Please consider this request as expeditiously as possible and give full consideration to the devastating damage that was caused. My staff and I are available to provide any
additional information necessary to demonstrate the need for federal assistance. The scope of damage and unique challenges faced by this population that is both outside of the flood zone, and occupied largely by seniors on fi xed incomes, necessitates all available resources from the federal government. I welcome SBA and FEMA’s assistance to the ongoing efforts of the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management to gather information about the scope of damage caused by this
storm. Having spent time in Brick over the last week, I can tell you fi rsthand that Ocean County needs additional federal resources as soon as possible to help restore these neighborhoods and make these individuals whole again. I look forward to working with your office to demonstrate that need and ensure these funds are disbursed as quickly as possible to the many in need in Ocean County. Thank you for your continued engagement on this important issue.

Feds Must Work Efficiently To Build New VA Hospital The federal government needs to work quickly, but intelligently, to build a new Veterans Administration clinic in Ocean County. It’s been said that some things on the government level move at a snail’s pace. The larger the bureaucracy, the slower it goes. So, if that’s true, then we probably won’t see a new VA hospital finished in Ocean County for a decade. After all, a location still has to be picked. Needs assessed. Plans drawn up and approved. I expect that the county – and whatever local municipality winds up hosting it – will expedite all approvals so that they don’t provide any speed
bumps along the route. I’m more worried about the federal government. I don’t think anyone would want the Veterans Administration to rush into a project and make mistakes, but I think I speak for everyone when I urge them to be efficient in the process. They must make a concerted effort to choose the perfect spot for veterans. They must build a facility that can truly address the needs of an aging population in Ocean County. And they must do it without wasting money. It’s an enormous undertaking, and I hope they realize how important it is. Chris Lundy News Editor

In Response To Attempts To Charge Trump With Treason
After reading Mr. Molinari’s opinion I thought that I might give him some of the suggestions that he asked for. First and foremost, the definition of treason in terms of any federally elected official is defined by the United States Constitution, not by Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary, or any dictionary for that matter, and it reads as follows: “Treason against the United

States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.” The author also cited Article II, Section 4 of the US Constitution, which is known as the Disqualification Clause that enumerates what a sitting US president can be impeached for, which is “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” Mr. Molinari’s opinion sug-
mitted treason by aiding and comforting “Putin’s Russia.” He did not elaborate on exactly what that entailed, but we might assume that it has to do with collusion since that was the reason that the special prosecutor has put in place. What must be understood here is that even if there was some sort of collusion on Trump’s part, that doing so is not an illegal act, and even if it was, the act would have happened while Trump was a candidate for office, not as a sitting President of the United States, so it’s questionable as to whether a president can be impeached for something that was done prior to being sworn in. What has also been lost in all of the noise is that Russia, while not exactly an ally of the United States, is not officially considered an enemy as is Iran or North Korea, thus one could not give aid or comfort to Russia under the Constitutional definition of treason. In terms of sedition, once again Mr. Molinari is incorrect since sedition, which isn’t mentioned anywhere in the Constitution, is considered constitutionally protected free speech and is in no way illegal (SEE: Brandenburg v. Ohio [1969]), and thus does not qualify as a high crime or misdemeanor. If Mr. Molinari would like to see an example of aiding and comforting the enemy he might want to look at the previous president, who, under cover of the night, gave billions of dollars over to Iran without consulting congress, and he also gave them the ability to make nuclear weapons by allowing that country to properly refine uranium, all the while its leaders were calling for the death of America and threatening Israel with nuclear annihilation. Iran is considered by most civilized countries around the world to be the leader in terrorism as it funds the various factions around the planet to aid them in their endeavors, yet Mr. Obama
idea to give Iran nuclear capabilities, and that somehow that deter them from using the technology to make nuclear bombs. Bill Clinton said the same thing about North Korea, and of course we know the history of how that worked out. President Obama also committed a high crime when he signed an Executive Order called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which effectively made law, something that presidents are expressly forbidden to do. Only congress can make law. The president can only agree to it and sign it or veto it. If we were to use the dictionary’s definition of treason as described by Mr. Molinari as being “the offense of acting to overthrow one’s government,” then again he might want to look to the former Administration since evidence has shown that it used the FBI, DOJ, and the IRS to spy on innocent US citizens, and as a means of throwing the presidential election in favor of Hillary Clinton. If colluding with Russia was the crime that the Democrats claim that it is, then both the Clinton campaign and the DNC would be guilty of it since they colluded with a British agent, who colluded with Russian agents, who then sold them a dossier of completely false information meant to discredit Donald Trump. In effect they colluded with another country to manipulate the results of the election. If ever there has been a more blatant acts of treason, sedition, disloyalty, and treachery against our government I would like to see that case. In conclusion, there is no evidence or proof that President Trump has levied war against the United States, given aid or comfort to any enemy, and nor has he in any way committed any act of treason or committed any high crimes or misdemeanors, because if he did it is likely that the Mueller investigation would have brought that out by now if for no
other reason than it would be compelled to tell Congress that impeachment should move forward immediately, and even if that wasn’t the case, given the enormous amounts of leaks that have come from the office of that special prosecution, there is no way something that big would not have gotten out by now. So, my suggestion to Mr. Molinari is that instead of picking up a dictionary he should perhaps consider taking a course in basic civics, which might set him straight on how our Democrat Republic works as outlined in our Constitution that sets the Rule of Law.

Freeholders Should Pay Legal Fees On Dec. 8, 2017, Monmouth County defendants, which includes Freeholders Thomas Arnone, Lillian Burry, former Freeholder Gary Rich, and former Freeholder, now Assemblywoman Serena DiMaso, were found to be in Contempt of Court and sanctioned for their willful and intentional violation of a court order entered by the Hon. Brian R. Martinotti, United States District Judge for the District of New Jersey. The Court found that their arguments that the valid court order restricted their First Amendment rights and that they were afforded absolute immunity for their conduct to be without merit. In his decision, the Hon. Brian R. Martinotti quoted the Third Circuit Court of Appeals: “A fundamental principle of the legal system is that all orders and judgments of courts must be complied with promptly.” This order was entered in open court, with the consent of Freeholder Arnone, Freeholder Burry, Assemblywoman DiMaso, and former Freeholder Gary Rich, whose attorney appeared
on their behalf. In fact, the Court found that “sealing the report was necessary,” and ordered it to remain sealed. Notwithstanding this valid court order, Freeholder Arnone, Freeholder Burry, Assemblywoman DiMaso, and former Freeholder Gary Rich proceeded to make public statements and allow for portions of the sealed document to be read out loud at a public hearing of the Freeholders. Due to their flagrant violation of the Court’s Order, the County Defendants have been ordered by the Court to pay the legal fees and costs associated with bringing this conduct to the attention of the Court. The Court stated that the County Defendants “do not deny they have revealed portions of the contents of the Report and cannot at this point undo what has been done,” and the Court properly imposed monetary sanctions for their egregious conduct. As Freeholders, Thomas Arnone, Lillian Burry, Serena DiMaso, and Gary Rich represented the citizens of this county in a position of public trust. In so serving, they took an oath in which they swore to support the constitution of this state, the Constitution of the United States, and the law generally. By violating a valid order, they violated that sacred oath and the public’s trust. I hereby call for the public censure of Freeholder Arnone, Freeholder Burry, former Freeholder Rich, and Assemblywoman DiMaso for their conduct. The Monmouth County taxpayers should not have to pay for their willful and intentional misconduct.

Berkeley Cuts Ribbon On New Turf Field
With this ad.
NICHOLAS POOLS INC
1820 LAKEWOOD RD | TOMS RIVER, NJ 08755 732-505-0404 | WWW.NICHOLASPOOLS.COM
BERKELEY – Mayor Carmen F. Amato, Council members and the Pepe family held the official ribbon cutting of the new turf field at Veterans Park in Berkeley Township, at the Sam Pepe Memorial Stadium. The new all-purpose, multi-sport turf field will host football, soccer and lacrosse games, among other events. Sam Pepe Memorial Stadium already has lighting and stadium seating and is used by Berkeley’s youth sports leagues. Mayor Amato thanked Council members Angelo Guadagno, John Bacchione, Sophia Gingrich, Keith Buscio & Judy Noonan for being a part of the ceremony and continued to thank Township Administrator John Camera as well as members of Berkeley Township Parks and Public Works Departments for completing the construction work needed to get the field ready. In addition, Mayor Amato wanted to publicly thank Bruno Associates, the township’s grant writers, and former DEP Commissioner Bob Martin, for granting the funding for the project. The turf project received $750,000 of the $800,000 in funding from the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Green Acres Program. The Township’s portion is $50,000. “Initially the field will be used for games, but its use could be expanded for practices
and other purposes in the future,” stated Mayor Amato. “This state-of-the-art field is also maintenance-free and has the potential to be used 24/7 since we won’t need to utilize Township staff to maintain the fields. This is a great opportunity for the athletes and residents of Berkeley Township.” Joe Robertazzi, President of the Berkeley Golden Eagles AYF spoke at the ribbon cutting and stated “This opening is a new path to a successful season.” He went on to thank the Mayor and Council for their dedication to youth sports. Berkeley Soccer Association President, Gene Makulinski, thanked Berkeley Township for the opportunity to play on the new field. In closing, the Pepe family came forward to cut the ribbon on the field and was touched by the proud moment for their family. Remington & Vernick Engineers completed the design work on the turf field. “Initially the field will be used for games, but its use could be expanded for practices and other purposes in the future,” stated Mayor Amato. “This state-of-the-art field is also maintenance-free and has the potential to be used 24/7 since we won’t need to utilize Township staff to maintain the fields. This is a great opportunity for the athletes and residents of Berkeley Township.”

Add bullying to the list of reasons to keep kids’ hearing health in top shape. Hearing-impaired youth of school age appear to be bullied more than their typical-hearing counterparts, per a University of Texas at Dallas study published in the journal of Exceptional Children. The study, “Effect of Hearing Loss on Peer Victimization in School-Age Children,” surveyed 87 participants ages 7 to 18 who wore hearing aids or cochlear implants and found that: • Nearly half of respondents – compared to approximately 28% of adolescents in the general population – reported being bullied. • The nature of the bullying experienced by hearing-impaired youth mirrored what their peers with other special needs have faced. • Hearing-impaired youth were even more likely to report feeling socially excluded – over 25% of respondents compared to 5% of youth generally.

These findings parallel published reports of fewer invitations to social events, lower quantity and quality of friendships, and higher loneliness in children and adolescents with hearing loss “shared the study’s authors in a UT Dallas news release. Auditory-based communication diff iculties can lead to missed jokes, conversation gaps, or other challenges affecting peer relationships, researchers speculated in the news release. Added investigator Andrea War ner-Czyz, Ph.D. “Friendships are important to most young people, but I believe they are especially important to children with hearing loss. Anything parents can do to facilitate social interaction and friendship and letting them learn how to be a friend and who is a friend is critical.” Hearing loss among youth goes largely unaddressed.

Cayenne Stopped My Bleeding In 30 Seconds
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
You read all kinds of things on Dr. Google, eh? For sure I do while I’m researching what I’m going to write for you each week. I read some interesting articles last year which I made a mental note of. One was about cayenne pepper and how it could stop bleeding. I stored this fascinating detail in the back of my mind, should I ever cut myself again in the kitchen… which tends to happen more frequently than I care to admit. It came to pass one night when I was in a hurry again. I cut myself on an onion. The month before it was from cutting bread with a serrated knife that slipped. As a writer, you’d think I’d wear gloves or slow down! I did my usual things: • Held my arm above my head • Put an ice cube on it • Took a Tylenol to dull the aftermath pain • Squeezed my finger • Wrapped it in a cold, wet towel • Ran around the house yelling, “I’m bleeding!” • Prayed • Found Sam and whined that I was in a hurry again • Promised myself I would slow down in the kitchen • Swore like a trucker Nothing worked this time, the bleeding was pretty ugly. But then I remembered the cayenne pepper stories that I read on Dr. Google (lol!) and found a bottle of cayenne liquid extract in my supplement cabinet. It’s sold with a dropper. I drew up a dropperful
of this, closed my eyes and waited for the burn, then squeezed it onto my bleeding finger. Nothing happened. I tried again. It was an epic fail. Then I thought of using the actual cayenne pepper and rummaged around my spice cabinet to find my cayenne pepper (powdered). Mind you, I’m doing this all left-handed because my husband Sam was too freaked out and more in favor of driving me to an urgent care center. But I’m a little doctor-phobic, so instead, I dumped a generous amount of cayenne pepper onto a paper towel. Here’s where I found my bravery SNP, because as this is happening, I’m noodling this thought, “Who in their right mind would literally pour cayenne pepper onto a painful, oozing cut?” After 30 minutes of fussing with it, feeling like I have nothing to lose at this point, I went ahead and did the unthinkable. I dipped it! It stung, no lie. So for the first 15 seconds, I continued ONLY with the last 2 bullets (see above). By second 30, the bleeding had almost completely stopped! I couldn’t believe it. Cayenne pepper has been studied for its medicinal actions on prostate or breast cancer, multiple myeloma, migraines, psoriasis, neuropathy and more. I’ll share more details if you sign up for my free newsletter. Peppers are a nightshade so if you’re allergic to those, please avoid. In the meantime, you should start sprinkling cayenne pepper onto your eggs and avocado toast. Keep it in a safe place in case you need it for a minor finger cut.

Inside The Law Is Your Property Being Properly Assessed?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
this you must divide the assessment by the equalization ratio. For Marc S. Galella Esq. exa mple, a prop e rty that is assessed at $200,000.00 in a town where the equalization ratio is 96% would have a market value of $298,333.00. In another town where the equalization ratio is 86%, the town is showing that the market value is $232,558.00. In other words, to determine what the town is claiming as the property value you need to look at both the assessment and the equalization ratio. This number would then be the value to use in determining whether you should consider filing a tax appeal. For example, if your property is assessed by the town at $350,000 and your property has a market value of $360,000, you may think that you are being under-assessed and thus think it is not worthwhile to file a tax appeal. However, if the equalization ratio for your town is 84%, then your property value, as determined by the town, would be approximately $407,000. This means that the town is assessing your property for $47,000 more than its market value and a tax appeal may be an option. Because the laws and procedures regarding tax appeals are complicated, it is a good idea to retain the services of an attorney to assist you in filing and pursuing the appeal. R. C. Shea and Associates has a long history of obtaining reductions in tax assessments for our clients.

By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates In a prior article, we talked about how the basis of a residential real estate tax appeal is whether the property is being assessed by the municipal tax assessor greater than the property’s true market value. One of the issues in making this determination is how the tax assessment established by tax assessor equates to the true value of the property. In all municipalities in New Jersey, there is what is called the “equalization ratio”. This is the number, expressed as a percentage, developed by the local County Tax Board to equalize the difference in tax assessments between the various towns in the county. The purpose of the equalization ratio is to ensure that each town pays it fair share of the county taxes. This imbalance occurs because towns reassess or revaluate their tax assessments at different times. Thus, a town that reassesses its real property assessments in the current year will have different real estate values than a town that reassessed four years ago. In a rising market, properties in the town that just reassessed would have higher values than those in a town that had not re-assessed. The equalization ratio for each town can be obtained from the Tax Board in each county or the municipal tax assessor. In Ocean County it is available on the website for the Ocean County Board of Taxation. Accordingly, you must look at the equalization ratio for your town and use that with the tax assessment to determine what the town is showing as the market value for the property. To do

Dear Joel Rushing Holidays
Dear Joel, Happy Halloween! And while we’re at it, Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! What is it with these stores?!?! Why do I want to shop for Christmas trees when I’m still using my beach chairs? I remember not too many years ago, you waited to see the holiday merchandise, now I really can’t remember what month it is half the time. Does this bother you? Answer: Oh my, I don’t want to sound like the Grinch, but yes, yes, yes. It really bothers me to see the stores rushing along the holidays. I feel like it takes away all the magic of the upcoming season and interrupts you enjoying the season you’re experiencing. SLOW DOWN, live in

Local Doctor Celebrates Life With Patients Who Survived Breast Cancer By Kimberly Bosco BRICK – Patients of Dr. Theodore Lygas of Breast Surgery and Breast Oncology got a special treat recently when Dr. Lygas invited them aboard his boat for an evening of celebration. Dr. Lygas’ practice has offices in Brick, Toms River and Barnegat. This year, patients from Brick, Toms River, Marlboro, Pt Pleasant, Forked River, Manahawkin, Lavallette, Howell and Barnegat were selected to celebrate the gift of life on the “Cancer Cruise” with Dr. Lygas and
his staff. According to coordinator Suzanne Friend, Dr. Lygas “feels that conquering cancer not only needs a point of celebration but he also feels that he needs to give back to these women who put their trust in him.” These “Cancer Cruises” bring breast cancer survivors on a 40 foot sport fisherman boat for a cruise on the Manasquan and Metedeconk Rivers and Barnegat Bay. Special guests get not only an evening of fun, but also a make-over by Karan Geist, an esthetician at the Atlantic Club, a mas-
sage by Lynette Cupola and a meal at local restaurant Harpoon Willy’s for dinner. “One of the most traumatic events in a woman’s life is to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Many feel that they will not live to see children or grandchildren graduate marry or enjoy a long life with spouse or partner. Fortunately, with modern treatment of breast cancer these fears dissipate when their cure is achieved,” stated Lygas. For more information about the practice call 732-458-4600 or go to breastsurgeryandbreastoncology.com.

Talking the Talk About Walking the Walk Use of Assistive Devices
B
By: Hillary Petetti, PT, In-Home Physical Therapist
eing able to walk is something that most people take for granted until they sustain an injury which prevents them from getting around. Think about all the times you walk during the day - even around your home: to the kitchen to get a snack, to the bathroom to take a shower, to the mailbox to pick up the circulars, to a family member to give them a hug. Now think about if you couldn’t do that. Many injuries result in pain, weakness, and loss of balance, all of which prevent walking without a high risk of falling and further injury. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE INJURED AND CANNOT SAFELY WALK ALONE?
Oftentimes your doctor or even your family member will recommend a walker or a cane, which in clinical terms are also known as assistive devices. The problem is that many people resist using them because they do not understand how to use them or they do not know which kind to use, as there are many different kinds of devices (e.g. standard walkers, rolling walkers, rollators, single point canes, narrow based quad canes, wide based quad canes). Unfortunately, just having a walker or a cane does not solve the problem. Sometimes people have the wrong device to suit their needs. For example, someone with very poor balance would require the greater support of a walker as opposed to a cane. Someone with a cardiac condition would require a walker with wheels as opposed to one without to decrease physical exertion
while walking. Using a device incorrectly can sometimes be just as dangerous as not using one at all. Sometimes people have the device set up wrong, for example, too high or too low. Using a walker that is set up too high can lead to shoulder injuries. Using a walker that is too low can lead to back pain. Sometimes people have the correct device, set up correctly, but do not know how to properly use it. The brake system on fourwheeled walkers with seats, commonly known as rollators, is a prime example. Many people do not know how or when to lock the brakes. Sitting on or getting up from an unlocked rollator is a recipe for disaster! Sometimes people have the correct device, set up correctly, but resist using it because of vanity or they feel doing so is “not really walking”. SO, WHO CAN HELP DETERMINE THE BEST DEVICE FOR YOUR PROBLEM, SIZE THE DEVICE, AND TEACH YOU HOW TO USE IT TO YOUR BEST ADVANTAGE?
ANSWER: your physical therapist. Physical Therapists are experts in determining the proper device, making sure it is the right height, and teaching the best use. Working with your physical therapist can also help you to see that using a device improves your independence rather than reducing it. With your All-Care physical therapist, either in the clinic or at home, you will learn how to use your assistive device to get you walking more safely and with less pain. Having the
right device to address your problem and knowing how to use it correctly will help improve confidence with your walking and balance which may give you the further confidence to enjoy the activities (e.g. going shopping, going out to lunch, cooking at home) which you might have stopped doing since the injury or illness began.

Please call 732-569-5665 for more information! HILLARY PETETTI, IN-HOME PT Hillary graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 1995 with a Bachelor’s Degree in psychology and writing. She then decided to expand and continue her education to pursue a Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy, graduating from Boston University in 2000. Hillary has worked in numerous settings over her 15 year career including school based pediatrics, acute care, outpatient, skilled nursing facilities, and is now excited about being a part of the All-Care Physical Therapy Home Care Team. Her areas of interest also include Women’s Health and she has taken multiple continuing education courses addressing the pervasive problem of urinary incontinence. In 2013, she became certified in LSVT BIG, a specialized program for Parkinson’s disease. Hillary believes that a motivated patient is usually a successful patient. She has learned that the best way to motivate her patients is by empowering them, using a team approach, and including them in the decision making process on their journey back to health and improved quality of life.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 1 - sept 7 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Love and affection may head in the wrong direction if you feel coerced or manipulated. By mid-week you will find it easier to achieve a sensible agreement with others. Use a hands-on approach at the workplace. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You and a loved one may be briefly at odds in the first part of the week. You may find it easier to shine at the workplace or when you are using your hardheaded business sense to improve your financial standing. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Contain your enthusiasms. During the week to come you should practice caution and discrimination. If you want to be perceived as a creative person you must refine your work and know which errors need correction. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Today’s Full Moon might compel you to be more reflective. You have been able to cope with problems at home or at work, but as one cycle finishes you may see there are still more hurdles to leap in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Wait a few days before buying something important. Right now, you may be more concerned with what people think about your purchases than whether the purchase is worthwhile and advantageous for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Full Moon falls in your opposite sign and may bring your opposite number into focus. Relationships can be a primary motivator as the week unfolds. Wait until the middle of the week to make decisions about finances. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As the week be-
gins, your desires may be blocked. This will force you to be more practical and pragmatic. Use your business sense to make a good impression on the job and to make your home run more smoothly. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Prepare to perform your happy dance in the week ahead. More investigation is needed, however, before you make key decisions. You are like a dog that has buried a bone and catches the scent just as his master calls. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): After today’s Full Moon you might see the glass as half empty. It would be wise to be a bit of a philosopher about financial assets this week. Remind yourself that it is not possible to spend money you don’t have. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Place emphasis on precision and accuracy in the upcoming week. Steer clear of major purchases today. You might be willing to accept less than you deserve because you believe something is better than nothing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A levelheaded approach will work best in the week ahead. You possess the vision and imagination to understand the long-term consequences of your actions. Handle your finances with shrewdness and skill. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): While the Full Moon brightens your sector of the zodiac you may find it easier to understand your partner and loved ones. As the week progresses you will become more aware of the importance of loyalty and trust.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Too Many Farmers’ Market Veggies? Make Fried Rice! By Wolfgang Puck
On my regular weekend visits to our local farmers’ market with my two youngest sons, I get so excited seeing all the beautiful produce, especially now at the peak of summer. I can’t resist buying almost everything I see. Even as a professional chef with decades of experience who knows how to manage kitchen inventory, I often wind up with the same situation so many home cooks face: a refrigerator full of things that I find myself challenged to use up. Many of the fruits, of course, find their way into fruit bowls that we snack on or into simple sorbets we store in the freezer. But what about the vegetables? Even after generous salads, soups and side dishes, we still have savory produce in abundance. Does that sound familiar? Then please let me share one of my all-time favorite solutions for making creative, delicious use of all that bounty: vegetable fried rice! A true classic of Chinese cooking, fried rice is both economical and incredibly easy. Once the cooked grains have been cooled and separated for easy, even stir-frying, it takes just minutes to cook an assortment of chopped or sliced vegetables in a hot wok and then add the rice and toss everything together until heated through, seasoning the mixture at the last minute with some soy sauce and other additions you might like. Yes, it’s that simple. And in the process, you’ve transformed leftover vegetables into something that looks and tastes beautiful, new, fresh and delicious! For the best results with your vegetable fried rice, first cook the rice well in advance, leaving no excess liquid, and then leave it to cool and settle for several hours before you separate the grains by “fluffing” them with your fingertips. This step ensures that the grains cook evenly and mix thoroughly with the vegetables. Cut up those vegetables into even pieces that will cook quickly. Be sure your wok or skillet is large enough to hold everything comfortably, for easier stirring and tossing. Use the recipe as a basic blueprint, making your own creative variations by choosing different vegetables or tossing pieces of leftover cooked meat, poultry or seafood with the cooked vegetables before you add the rice. You can vary the seasonings too. I like to include some earthy-tasting mushroom soy sauce, easily found in the Asian foods aisle of most markets. You could also drizzle in a little toasted sesame oil, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes, or simply add some freshly ground black pepper. The results will be as delightfully varied as the farmers’ market itself. And you can go on cooking it as a kitchen staple year round.
FR IED R ICE WITH FAR MERS’ MARKET VEGETABLES Serves 3 to 4 1 cup (250 mL) uncooked long-grain white rice 3/4 cup (185 mL) good-quality canned chicken stock or broth, or vegetable stock or broth 3/4 cup (185 mL) water 1 red or yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) squares 1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) squares 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced Napa cabbage 1/2 cup (125 mL) sliced white mushrooms 1/2 cup (125 mL) small snow peas, stemmed and stringed 1 to 2 tablespoons peanut oil 1 or 2 garlic cloves, minced, optional 1 large egg, beaten 2 tablespoons mushroom soy sauce 2 tablespoons regular soy sauce 2 scallions, thinly sliced at a 45-degree angle Cook the rice at least several hours before serving or the night before. Put it in a saucepan, and add the stock and water. Bring to a boil over high heat; then, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice looks completely dry, 15 to 18 minutes. Empty the rice onto a baking sheet or large platter, and leave it to cool and air-dry for several hours or overnight. Before cooking, use clean, dry hands to separate the rice grains and fluff up the rice. In a mixing bowl, toss together the bell peppers, onion, Napa cabbage, mushrooms and snow peas. Heat a wok or a large, wide skillet with sloping sides over high heat until very hot. Add enough of the oil to coat the wok evenly, drizzling it in all around the upper edges of the pan to flow toward the center. Add the mixture of vegetables and, if using, the garlic. With a long-handled wooden spatula, briskly stir-fry the vegetables continuously until their colors brighten and they look glossy, about 30 seconds. Add the fluffed rice and continue to stir-fry continuously for another 30 seconds or so, tossing together the vegetables and rice. Drizzle in the beaten egg around the edges of the wok, and quickly stir the egg into the rice and vegetables. Drizzle the mushroom soy sauce and regular soy sauce over the rice-and-vegetable mixture, and stir it in briskly. Transfer the rice to a heated serving bowl or platter. Garnish with scallions, and serve immediately.
