than seven decades, but there are still new things to see and do. There is a balancing act
between bringing new things in to keep it fresh, and maintain favorites that people want to see,
said fair manager Jeff Adams. “There are a couple of (Fair - See Page 4)
7-Eleven Closure Might Lead To Larger Development By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The closure of the 7-Eleven at the corner of Route 37 and Oak Ridge Parkway might lead to bigger things. The convenience store was found shuttered on June 27, permanently closed for business. It had a simple, handwritten sign that said “Closed For Business.” The closure seemed abrupt to those who frequented the location. There are no plans before the township for the future of that property, said David Roberts, the township planner. The township is aware of a buyer that has been picking up property in that location, including the 7-Eleven, but they have not made any plans public as of now, he said. -Jennifer Peacock contributed to this story

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – A long-sought widening of Route 9 is slated to begin in the spring of 2022. It aims to alleviate congestion in several difficult intersections. The plan encompasses a length of the state highway starting just north of Indian Head Road in Toms River to just beyond 2nd Street in Lakewood. The project is in the final design phase now, and letters are expected to go out in the fall to property owners for the state to acquire some property to make the road changes. For the most part, the state would be buying a sliver of land in order to widen it, said officials from Arora and Associates, the consulting engineers on the project. In some cases, entire lots would need to be purchased in order to put in stormwater retention basins. The project is expected to cost $50 million, said David Hutchinson, project manager with Arora, who gave a presentation recently in Lakewood. Any time a lane has to be closed for construction, it will be done at night, according to paperwork provided by the State Department of Transportation. It is expected to be finished in 2024. Generally speaking, the project will be adding a two traffic signals in Lakewood, and address safety and traffic issues by adding turn lanes in key spots. There will also be milling and paving (Widening - See Page 6)
County Joins Suit Against Opioid Manufacturers By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Ocean County is joining litigation against opioid manufacturers and marketers. The Board of Chosen Freeholders adopted a resolution that authorized Sanders Phillips Grossman, Garden City, New York, to file a complaint joining 200 other complainants in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation. The complainants were originally all political subdivisions but now include individuals,

Speaking of balancing acts, a new show will be put on by a troupe doing highwire walks, trapeze, and catapulting around. The butterf ly encounter will be another new feature. There will be a place for people to go inside, feed butterf lies, and get up close to them. This encounter is only open during daylight hours, as the butterf lies don’t eat after dark. The Curiosity Zone is an inf latable planetarium that will put on shows.
There will be a different pony ride vendor. Instead of the ponies being led around a carousel, they will be free to walk around a specific area. The 4-H is of course still a very large part of the fair. This time, they are trying to have guests be more hands-on, with more doing than looking, he said. For example, the ATV club will show you how to work on an ATV. The goal is to get more people interested in joining once they get a taste of some of the cool things that kids are doing. This will be under one large tent instead of several tents. A general schedule of events has been published online: Wednesday, July 10, 5-11 p.m.

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.

Opioid:
Continued From Page 1 consumers, hospitals, third-party payers and Native American tribes. The complaints allege companies improperly marketed and inappropriately distributed various prescribed opiates in cities, states and towns across the country. “While we have implemented programs through our Prosecutor’s Office and our Corrections Department and Juvenile Services and a host of other agencies to help our residents suffering from addiction, this action is another step we are taking in the fight against drug overdoses,” Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines said. “We want to send a clear message that it’s time for everyone to get on board and work to solve this issue including those companies that manufacture and those who market these drugs.” Ocean County lost 187 residents to drug overdose deaths last year. From 1999 to 2014, more than 165,000 persons have died from opioid overdoses nationwide, according to court filings. In 2013, almost 2 million persons abused or were dependent on prescribed opiates. The county cited the Legal Executive Institute, which said the common allegations in the consolidate cases are: manufacturers of prescription opioid medications overstated the benefits and downplayed the risks of the use of their opioids and aggressively marketed (directly and through key opinion leaders) these drugs to physicians; and/or
The Toms River Times, July 6, 2019, Page 5 distributors failed to monitor, detect, investigate, refuse, and report suspicious orders of prescription opiates. “We are joining several other counties in New Jersey along with the state itself in this litigation,” Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director John P. Kelly said. He serves as Director of Law and Public Safety. “The number of litigants has ballooned to well over 1,000 and continues to grow. This action is about saving lives. Ocean County has experienced far too many deaths from drug overdoses. This is another avenue we are taking to remedy this.” Haines added that Ocean County absolutely wants to see those numbers decrease. Should the litigation prove successful, she would like to see the county use a portion of the settlement go toward rehabilitation, including extending times people are in rehab. The New York law firm will take a percentage of any winnings as payment, so there are no out-of-pocket costs to the county. “Drug addiction does not go away overnight and those who are sick need far more time in treatment than currently provided,” Haines said. The named defendants include: Actavis, Allergan, Cephalon, Endo, Janssen, Johnson & Johnson, Purdue Pharma, Teva, Watson, AmerisouceBergen, McKesson Corp., and Cardinal Health, all of which allegedly distributed more than 80 percent of the opiates involved. The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office said the county is looking into the lawsuit but can’t offer further comment at this time.

Widening:
Continued From Page 1 work done. Wider sidewalks compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act would also be installed. Access points to and from properties on Route 9 would be improved to be made safer. “We expect reductions in travel time,” Hutchinson said. There is a prediction of a decrease in travel times from 15 percent to 45 percent during peak hours. There are a lot of intersections where the traffic pattern won’t change, such as on Cox Cro Road. However, throughout Route 9 there would be improvements in terms of such things as paving, drainage, curbs and sidewalks. Eight intersections would be widened, for example. There will also be two miles of sidewalks added. The plans are still in the final design stage, and as it stands now, these are some of the changes proposed: Whitty Road Route 9 northbound would be widened for the existing designated right turn lane onto Whitty Road. Southbound Route 9 would be widened for the existing left turn lane onto Whitty Road. Whitty Road’s westbound lane would be split into left and right turn lanes. Church Road On northbound Route 9, there would be a right turn only lane added for drivers going east on Church Road. On southbound Route 9, there would be a left turn only lane added for drivers going east on Church Road. On Church Road, drivers heading west would have two lanes: a left turn only lane and a right turn only lane. Locust/Honey Locust Locust Street (which links Route 70 to Route 9, passing the bowling alley) would be widened near the intersection with Route 9. One lane would go through and left. The
other would go right (north on 9). Honey Locust street, which meets Route 9 from the other direction, would be widened as well. A right turn only lane for people going south on 9 would be added. Chestnut Street Westbound on Chestnut would become three lanes: left, straight, and right. Eastbound on Chestnut would become three lanes: left, straight, and right. Chateau/Broadway There would be significant changes near this area, where the big “Center of Town” shopping center is (formerly Chateau Grand and Winkelmann’s Restaurant). Chateau Drive would be realigned with a little curve to the south, so that it can meet Broadway at a new traffic signal there. Chateau would have a left turn only lane at the intersection. So would Broadway. Route 9 would be widened to have left turn only lanes for drivers going north and south. Oak Street Oak Street would get a new traffic signal. Northbound Route 9 would be widened into three lanes: left, through, and right. Southbound Route 9 would be widened to add a left turn only lane. Oak Street westbound would have two lanes: right turn only, and left/through. Just north of that, there is an intersection that is called River Avenue (even though Route 9 is also called River Avenue). That intersection would have left and right turn lanes coming out of the development. Again, just north of that is Hadassah Lane. There would be a left turn only lane from Route 9 north into that development. Spruce Street Left turn lanes would be added to Route 9 in both directions, so that drivers can make lefts onto Spruce from the north or south. Spruce is just south of the hospital.

Continued From Page 6 Pine Street/James Street Pine Street would be realigned to meet James Street at a safer angle. James Street would get a designated left turn lane onto Route 9 north. Hurley Avenue/Central Avenue This is the intersection by the lakes. The southbound left turn lane would be eliminated. Instead, there would be a second northbound lane. The two remaining southbound lanes would be one through lane and one right turn only onto Central. Where Central and South Lake Drive meet, there would also be changes. Driving west on Central, drivers can make a right onto South Lake. If you are driving on South Lake, you will only be able to make a right onto Central. You won’t be able to merge onto Central and then head to 9. Similarly, people on Caranetta Drive will only be able to make right turns onto Central. They won’t be able to go left on Central. Route 88 On Route 9, the southbound left turning lane leading to Route 88 would be extended by 400 feet. 1st Street A concrete island would be installed on Route 9 at the intersection with 1st Street that would prevent anyone from making left turns onto Route 9 from either direction.

The Toms River Times, July 6, 2019, Page 7 Reception Despite people complaining about Route 9 for decades, these plans were presented at a meeting in the Lakewood Municipal Building which was attended by about a dozen people. Those who did attend said it was a long time coming. “We’ve been waiting for this for a long time,” said Larry Grone, owner of Grone’s Wrecker and Recovery, on Route 9. He said that there is a very high accident rate, especially drivers hitting pedestrians, and he hoped that these changes would help. Bill Braden, chairman of the Ocean County Transportation Advisory Board, said he liked the changes overall. He still had some suggestions to make, and the representatives at the meeting were receptive to his ideas, such as looking at how some intersections might not give enough turn radius for big tractor trailers. “There’s not only heavy traffic, but there’s heavy trucks,” so the road must be reinforced to give it a long lifespan, he said. For years, he had suggested that the state buy up land for future expansion of Route 9, but the suggestion fell on deaf ears, he said. Now, the land is more expensive. The state should buy up some land in places like Stafford where there will be more growth in the future, and the land prices haven’t boomed yet, he said. Future Widening A spokesman with the DOT said there is another project in a very early stage right now. This project would look at further widening and how to do it.

Amendment Would Prioritize Road Safety Projects At Joint Base
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The House of Representatives unanimously passed an amendment authored by Congressman Andy Kim (NJ-03) and Congressman Donald Norcross (NJ-01) to improve road safety at military facilities such as Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. “Simply put, if our servicemen and women can’t safely drive, they can’t safely train.
And that puts our military at a distinct disadvantage,” said Congressman Kim. “This amendment shows that Congress is committed to projects like the proposed Route 539 Interconnector. I’m proud to stand with Congressman Norcross to fight for safer roads for our neighbors and a project that would keep our Joint Base off the BRAC (Base Relocation And Closure) list for years
to come.” The amendment would direct the Department of Defense to address road safety issues at and around its facilities. Plagued by frequent accidents, funding for projects such as the Route 539 Interconnector would improve safety for our servicemen and women and the communities surrounding the Joint Base. The project would also improve military readiness
by opening new training acres to Army Reserve units, allowing additional training missions to come to the Joint Base. “Our service members should be able to efficiently and safely train – and civilians passing by bases should not face undue obstacles or hazards. That’s why we’re working to move this important overpass project forward and improve military
efficacy and readiness,” said Congressmen Norcross. “I look forward to continuing to work with the New Jersey Delegation and my fellow amendment sponsor – Congressman Kim – in supporting our Joint Base.” Congressman Kim is a me mb e r of t he Hou se Armed Services Committee (HASC), where he serves as the Vice Chair of the Subcommittee on Readi-
Trenton Shouldn’t Cut School Aid And Spend More On “Wasteful” Programs CAPITOL COMMENTS 10th Legislative District Senator Jim Holzapfel • Assemblyman Greg McGuckin • Assemblyman Dave Wolfe
TRENTON – Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Greg McGuckin and Dave Wolfe (R-10) opposed a State Budget put forward by Democrats in the Legislature that cuts millions in aid to schools in Brick and Toms River while funding tens of millions of unnecessary pork projects.
The legislators highlighted the misplaced priorities of the Democrats’ budget plan that will force local Ocean County schools to lay off teachers and eliminate after school programs. “Democrats in the Legislature took a bad budget proposal put forward by Governor
Murphy and made it worse by adding at least $60 million of unjustifiable spending,” said Senator Holzapfel. “Instead of funding our schools fairly, they’ve decided to cut aid from our classrooms and redirect it into pork projects in their districts. It says a lot about the priorities of Trenton Democrats that they’re choosing to fund wasteful programs over our children.” The budget adopted by the Senate and General Assembly includes more than $60 million of legislative add-ons to the budget initially proposed by Governor Murphy in March. Some of the items

they have chosen to add include: • $4 million for Turtle Back Zoo; • $3 million for an Irvington camp; • $250,000 for a Newark mayor’s initiative to have ex-convicts and former gang leaders mentor youth on conflict resolution and reducing violence; • $4 million for urban park grants; • $3.1 million undocumented legal aid; “Republicans have repeatedly provided common-sense solutions to make New Jersey more affordable and properly
fund our schools,” said Assemblyman McGuckin. “In contrast, Trenton Democrats are diverting millions for urban camps, programs for ex-cons and gang leaders and legal aid for undocumented immigrants. Some of these things might be understandable if we were flush with money, but they don’t make any sense if we have to fire school teachers and sacrifice the quality of education in our classrooms to pay for them.” Under both Governor Murphy’s original budget plan and that adopted by legislative Democrats, school districts within the 10th Legislative

He also chairs HASC’s Tactical Air and Land Forces (TAL) subcommittee.
District will lose over $5.5 million in State aid next year. The biggest cuts will come at the expense of the Brick and Toms River school districts, which will lose more than $2.7 million each. In total, schools in the 10th District will lose 4.5 percent of their State aid under the Democrats’ budget plan. “Trenton Democrats have advanced a lavish spending plan without any concern for our property taxpayers or our schoolchildren,” added Assemblyman Wolfe. “I could not support a budget that values partisan pork over our children’s education.”

Around The Jersey Shore NJ Looking To Expand Access To Medical Marijuana
By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Department of Health is looking to open up over 100 more Alternative Treatment Centers (ATC) to expand access to medical marijuana for residents. The department is looking for applicants to operate 108 more ATCs: 38 in the northern region of the state, up to 38 in the central region, and up to 32 in the southern region. Endorsements for cultivation, manufacturing and dispensary will be available. The department is looking for up to 24 cultivation endorsements, up to 30 manufacturing endorsements, and up to 54 dispensary endorsements. “We are at a point where patients just cannot wait any longer for easily accessible, affordable therapy. This request for applications allows for specialization of businesses to increase medical product in our state,” said New Jersey Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal. “In addition, by allowing for three sizes of cultivation endorsements (5,000 square feet, 20,000 square feet and 30,000 square feet), we are increasing opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses to participate in the program.” Applications for ATCs will be assessed based on the needs for each region, patient need, and the general population of the state and its regions. With the addition of five new illnesses in March 2018 to the list of medical conditions that qualify patients for medical marijuana, as well as the addition of Opioid Use Disorder in January 2019, the state’s medical marijuana program has expanded greatly. Since the addition of those conditions, the program has added 30,000 new patients, bringing the total
patient count to 47,500. Request for Applications (RFA) can be found on the NJ Department of Health website. Permit application forms for ATCs will be available at nj.gov/health/medicalmarijuana on July 1. Applications are due August 15. The length of time required to review applications and the timeline for announcing awards will depend on the volume of applications received. A pre-application webinar will be held on July 16 to review the RFA process. You can submit written questions up to July 5 to be reviewed at the webinar. Following the webinar, the Department will post a set of Frequently Asked Questions and responses to those questions. The six currently operating ATCs and awardees from the July 2018 RFA are also eligible to participate in this application process.

RISING MELANOMA RATES
7/31/19
Even as rates of most other cancers are declining, the rate at which people develop melanoma continues to rise yearly. According to a recent report from the Division of Cancer Prevention and Control at the CDC, the rates of this deadly form of skin cancer have doubled in the United States over the past three decades. The report always states that, if no new efforts are made to stem this tide, there will be 112,000 new cases of melanoma in 2030. By comparison, in 2011, there were 65,647 cases of melanoma diagnosed in this country, and 9,128 deaths occurred. By implementing a comprehensive skin cancer prevention program, about 20% of cases of melanoma could be prevented between 2020 and 2030. Our doctors are trained to diagnose and treat skin cancers using state-of-the-art technologies. Our approach is conservative, gentle, and caring at our office, where you’ll receive the highest quality medical skin care coupled with the personal attention you expect and deserve. If you have concerns about your skin or any unusual changes in its condition, consider professional attention. No need to wait months for an appointment – care for your skin and call today for skin cancer screening! P.S. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer among both men and women in the United States.

5 Natural Ways To Treat A Diaper Rash
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Diaper rashes generate misery and sleepless nights for all involved! When my children were babies, I would prioritize this condition so that we could all sleep in peace. I would mix different things like essential oils or clay into the commercial creams, working tirelessly to find the perfect, soothing balm for my children. A rash can be caused by a pathogen like yeast/fungus or bacterial organisms. Sometimes the rash can result from sensitivities to fragrances, alcohol and artificial chemicals found in diapers or wet wipes. In fact, some popular diaper rash balms happen to contain petrolatum, but unfortunately, is could be contaminated with toxic chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Baby powder is no longer recommended due to the lung-related health issues that talcum powder is now associated with. What’s a parent to do?! Today I will share 5 natural ways to treat a rash: 1. Use as few chemicals as possible. There are hundreds of potentially harmful chemicals in some baby products, even those advertised as “gentle.” As for laundry detergents, use unscented versions. You might also look for preservative or chlorine-free disposable diapers. Some parents opt to protect the environment and their baby all at once by using cloth (washable) diapers. As for cleaning up, there are unscented, alcohol-free baby wipes too! 2. Make homemade cream. Here’s a DIY cream you can try. Mix together two table-
spoons shea butter, one tablespoon coconut oil, two tablespoons zinc oxide, 2 teaspoons bentonite clay and 3 drops each of lavender, frankincense and Roman chamomile essential oil. Combine this mixture well and apply to baby’s diaper rash twice daily. 3. Try Epsom Salts. Also known as magnesium sulfate, there are many anecdotal reports of this soothing a rash within minutes. Just pour about one cup of epsom salt into a tub of lukewarm water and let your child soak for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. This is not a daily thing, just do it once, or twice during the week because the magnesium is absorbed into your baby’s body transdermally. 4. Apply Breast Milk. If you’re nursing your baby, then this tip could be a fast, easy way to soothe a rash. Express some milk and apply directly to the diaper rash. It’s strange, I know! Breast milk is high in vitamin D, and other healing compounds, and according to one study, it performed as well as 1% hydrocortisone cream. 5. Baking Soda Soothes. Combine 1 tablespoon baking soda with 3 tablespoons cool water and stir it in a bowl. It should make a thin paste which you can use directly on the skin. You may need to adjust the amounts to make it the consistency that you want. Apply to skin and let it settle on and ‘dry’ for about 5 minutes. Do not rub it off aggressively, but rather rinse it very gently with cool water. Baking soda change the painful acidic pH, and makes its more alkaline, thus easing the pain. If these tips don’t help your baby, please seek the advice of your local pediatrician.

Inside The Law
Caught In The Middle? Dear Joel I recently made my son a high school graduation party. My problem is that I refused to allow my ex-husband to join us in the restaurant. My son has been so angry with me that he hardly communicates. I am heartbroken and have been asking myself if I did the wrong thing. Answer: This isn’t a right or wrong story. You made the party and you paid for it. My hunch is that your son has been exposed to this for a long time. His anger may have peaked as he reached this milestone. Your ex could have made him a separate dinner and had his own

Who is Josh Haines? By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Josh Haines was injured in a car crash. His medical treatment left him with more than $25,000 in unpaid medical bills. He sued the person who caused the crash for the cost of his medical treatment. In March 2019, the NJ Supreme Court decided his case. The court ruled that car accident victims have to pay their own medical bills, even if they didn’t cause the accident. The Court ruled that ANY person whose auto policy has less than the “standard” medical benefits limit has to pay for their medical treatment up to $250,000. The court’s ruling has a devastating impact on low-income people who cannot afford to buy auto policies with higher coverage limits. If you are involved in an auto accident, you could be stuck with thousands of dollars in medical expenses, leading to credit problems, bankruptcy, or worse. The insurance industry is thrilled about this decision. And don’t think you are safe if you have health insurance. If your private health insurer pays your medical bills and you obtain a recovery for your injuries then there is a substantial likelihood that you will have to reimburse your health

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, PC: Treating Everything Below The Knee
By Michael Vandenberg Dr. Scott Amoss, DPM, CWS is a lot more than a “foot doctor,” as people often mistake podiatrists for. In reality, “we provide comprehensive lower extremity care,” he said. So yes, if your foot hurts, Dr. Amoss will be happy to help. However, that barely scratches the surface of all the conditions he sees and the treatments he provides. Dr. Amoss (pronounced like “famous Amoss”) grew up in nearby Ocean Township and has been connected to the Jersey Shore community and greater New Jersey area his entire life. Originally, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Rutgers and spent a few years in the chemical industry. However, that feeling of wanting to make a difference in people’s lives that drives all physicians caught hold of Dr. Amoss. He liked podiatry in particular because of its ability to help people really quickly. “You can immediately have a positive impact on someone’s life. They come in pain, and can leave virtually pain free.” Scott Amoss became Doctor Scott Amoss when he graduated fourth in his class with numerous honors from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. He then completed a two year residency focusing on orthopedic, vascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, in addition to training in internal and emergency medicine, dermatology, and radiology.
After that, Dr. Amoss knew it was time to go out on his own, so he opened Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists in Whiting. 17 years later, the practice is going strong and recently opened a new location in Toms River to be closer to Community Medical Center, where he’s a surgeon on staff. Critically, this new foothold also allows him, as a specialist in diabetic foot care, to help the growing diabetic community in the area. While expanding served a logistically necessary purpose, Advanced Foot & Ankle has never lost its personal touch. You’ll never just be passed off to whichever doctor is on the clock that day, because Dr. Amoss is proud to be a solo practitioner. “The patients see me and only me,” he said. “It’s good continuity of care.” His tight-knit support staff of seven ensures that you get the streamlined care you deserve. That’s crucial in the field of Podiatry because, after all, things can get serious when it comes to Diabetes and foot complications. Luckily, Dr. Amoss is an Amputation Prevention Specialist as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Less serious conditions like hammertoes, ingrown nails, bunions, and athlete’s foot can be treated in the office, often during your initial visit! “We’re very conservative,” Dr. Amoss assures future patients. “I’m surgically trained but I only like to perform surgery when all other conservative means
One of Advanced Foot & Ankle locations is 601 Route 37 West, Suite 300 in Toms River (in front of the Ocean Eye Institute)
have been exhausted. It’s going to be painless.” He makes that possible by developing treatment plans for each specific patient. Rest assured, Advanced Foot & Ankle is fully equipped to do so as soon as you come in. Both offices have digital X-rays so they can almost instantly see what’s going on and review it with the patient. They also have a diagnostic ultrasound to diagnose soft tissue conditions, as well as a laser for treatment of pain and neuropathy, a painful nerve condition caused by diabetes and other issues. They even offer MicroVas therapy, which gives much needed relief to patients with high levels of diabetic neuropathy, as well as vascular or PAD testing. In addition to the most cutting edge podiatric technology, Advanced Foot & Ankle has professional-grade consumer products you need for immediate relief. They offer a great selection of diabetic shoes, for example, One of Advanced Foot & Ankle locations is 601 Route 37 West, as well as custom - made 400 Lacey Road in Whiting (in the Stop and Shop Shopping orthotics which provide arch Center) support and help correct the
imbalance in patients’ feet. Advanced Foot & Ankle accepts most insurance plans. (Medicare covers one pair of diabetic shoes per year!) By having strategically-located offices, an experienced and focused staff, and tons of treatment methods and equipment at his disposal, Dr. Amoss is able to easily achieve his goal of getting you fast comfort and relief. When it comes to diseases like melanoma, for example, speed is absolutely critical. The most deadly form of skin cancer, melanoma has an especially poor prognosis on the foot because it often goes unnoticed for a long time. Dr. Amoss diagnosed several of these cases last year, which probably saved those patients’ lives. But sometimes conditions aren’t as complicated as much as some of the larger podiatrist offices try to let on. Dr. Amoss remembers one recent patient who came in after being with one such practice. “These eight doctors had exhausted all treatment options for this individual in pain,” he said. After years of getting the runaround, they told him there was noth-
ing they could do. The patient came limping into Advanced Foot & Ankle with what Dr. Amoss diagnosed in a matter of minutes as a simple corn on the tip of his toe. “We gave him a customized foot pad which helped him tremendously, and by the next day he came in to thank us and tell us how much better he was doing,” Dr. Amoss said. “He couldn’t believe he waited and wasted several years with this other group of doctors.” At Advanced Foot & Ankle, you’ll get fast and customized treatment from a doctor you can trust. Give them a call today at 732-350-0100 and their very accommodating staff will be able to make an appointment for you with Dr. Amoss right away. And as the “urgent care of the lower extremity,” emergency app oint ment s are also available. Advanced Foot & Ankle is located at 400 Lacey Road in Whiting (in the Stop and Shop Shopping Center) and 601 Route 37 West, Suite 300 in Toms River (in front of the Ocean Eye Institute).

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Sweet Celebration: My Gluten-Free, Vegan Cupcakes By Wolfgang Puck When celebrating holidays, many of us pay just as much attention to the food as we do the fireworks. But what should we serve? Hot dogs, hamburgers, ribs or chicken? Why not all four? Baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw? They all sound good! What about dessert? Of course, there will be ice cream. But it almost goes without saying that you’ll also need some sort of baked good as well. More and more, though, when I mention baked goods to friends or restaurant guests, a pair of issues comes up that I used to never hear about. First is the increasing number of people who are trying to follow vegan diets free of any animal products, including dairy. On top of that, it seems that every day somebody tells me they’ve switched to a gluten-free diet; whether they’re dealing with celiac disease or eliminating gluten for other health-related reasons, they no longer eat wheat, the main source of gluten, or other of the many ingredients or processed foods that may contain traces of the substance. So, holiday, I’d like to propose making a dessert that will help your friends - and you- declare your independence from animal products and gluten alike. My catering team and I originally developed the following gluten-free, vegan cupcake recipe to serve at the Governors Ball reception following the Academy Awards ceremony; but it’s a treat that anyone can enjoy year-round. And by “anyone,” I also mean people who may not be following vegan or gluten-free diets. These cupcakes are absolutely delicious in their own right, featuring a tender, moist cake with a rich chocolate flavor made all the more intense with the help of some freshly brewed coffee. The luscious frosting gets its creaminess from a combination of coconut oil, almond milk and soy milk powder. You can find all the ingredients you’ll need - including gluten-free baking flour, potato starch, and arrowroot and xanthan gum powders - in the baking aisle of any well-stocked supermarket today; or online, with most suppliers able to ship them to you within just a few days. If you’re packing the cupcakes to take to an at-home party or picnic, be sure to put them in a rigid, airtight container and keep them someplace cool so that the frosting doesn’t melt. Just one more word of caution: Keep looking up in the sky for the fireworks, because otherwise your attention may be focused on dessert alone! GLUTEN-FREE VEGAN CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH ALMOND-COCONUT CREAM FROSTING Makes 2 dozen FROSTING: 1 1/2 cups plain or vanilla-flavored almond milk 3/4 cup soy milk powder
1/4 cup agave nectar 1 tablespoon coconut extract 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups coconut oil 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice CUPCAKES: 1 3/4 cups all-purpose gluten-free baking flour 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 cup potato starch 1/4 cup arrowroot powder 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum powder 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 1/3 cups agave nectar 1 cup hot brewed dark-roast coffee 1 cup coconut oil 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce 3 tablespoons pure vanilla extract Prepare the frosting at least 6 hours ahead. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade, combine the almond milk, soy milk powder, agave nectar, coconut extract and vanilla. Process for 2 minutes. With the machine running, slowly pour in half of the coconut oil through the feed tube; then half of the lemon juice; and then the remaining half of each. Continue processing until thoroughly blended. Pour the frosting into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until it has firmed up enough to spread, about 6 hours. For the cupcakes, position the oven rack in the middle level and preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins or four standard-sized 6-cup muffin tins with paper cupcake liners. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, potato starch, arrowroot, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum and salt. Stir well with a wire whisk until thoroughly blended. In a separate bowl, combine the agave nectar, hot coffee, coconut oil, applesauce and vanilla. Stir with a whisk until thoroughly blended. Add this wet mixture all at once to the dry ingredients. Stir with a whisk until a smooth batter forms. Transfer the batter to a large measuring cup, or use a ladle, and pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups until each is nearly full. Transfer to the middle rack of the preheated oven. After 15 minutes, rotate the tins front to back and continue baking until the cupcakes rise nicely, look firm and spring back when gently pressed at their centers, about 7 minutes longer. Remove the tins from the oven, and leave the cupcakes to rest in the tins at room temperature for 20 minutes. Then, remove the cupcakes from the tins and leave on wire racks to cool completely. When the cupcakes have cooled completely, use an icing spatula to spread the frosting on top of each one. Serve immediately, or store in a single layer in an airtight container at cool room temperature.
