Castle Park To Get Skate Park By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – An open area of Castle Park is the proposed site of a skate park that could be operational next year, township officials said. Castle Park, centrally located in the township, is at the corner of North Bay Avenue and Oak Avenue. There’s a piece of land, about 150 feet by 100 feet, that is next to the younger kids’ playground. This will be the site for the skate park, township engineer Robert Chankalian said. Township officials had been meeting with parents for a little while now, getting input from them about the needs for the facility. After a recent meeting, parents were excited to

—Photos by Jennifer Peacock (Above) Vesper, the juvenile Kemp’s Ridley turtle, was released at Point Pleasant Beach near Water Street July 30. (Right) A placard with information about Sea Turtle Recovery and their Point Pleasant Beach partners. By Jennifer Peacock POINT PLEASANT BEACH – The crowd gathered at the ocean n e a r Wa t e r S t r e e t drew attention from walkers on the boardwalk. “Excuse me, miss. W hat is happen i ng down there?” a man, walking with his wife on the boardwalk, stopped to ask. “They’re releasing a rehabbed sea turtle today. You are welcome to come watch if you’d like.” “Oh, interesting,” he
said. He and his wife kept walking. It’s a little before 7:30 a.m. July 30. At least 200 people were waiting to see Vesper, the 5-pound juvenile Kemp’s Ridley - the most endangered of all sea t u r tles - be released back into the ocean after recovering at the Essex County Turtle Back Zoo, Sea Turtle Recovery (STR), in West Orange. He or she is the 41st tur tle STR has released since starting 2 years ago.
“We don’t actually know if Ve s p e r i s a boy or a girl. He’s too young to tell without some extensive testing that doesn’t change how we would treat his illness, so it’s not something we would put the tur tle through,” STR co-executive Bill Deerr said. Kemp’s Ridleys nest in Texas or Mexico and migrate north in the war mer months to feed before heading

By Kimberly Bosco BRICK – Everybody loves free stuff – especially free vacations. Now is your chance to support a good cause to help two local families win their free dream vacation. Five year old Lucia Graf, of Brick, has leukemia. With the help of a local nonprofit organization, Lucia and her family recently got the chance to take an incredible, free cruise to Bermuda back in June. This trip was the perfect way to take a break from the stress of doctor’s visits and medical bills and have a little fun. After witnessing what a difference this trip made, Lucia’s grandmother, Ester Jordan of Tinton Falls, is working hard to ensure that two other local families will have this same opportunity. Jordan is selling handmade bracelets at two local Ocean County salons to raise money for Kick Cancer Overboard, the nonprofit that helped Lucia’s family. “Our mission is to give free cruises to people who have been affected by cancer. To offer them a break for a few days, so (Vacation - See Page 5)

turtle’s body systems begin to shut down if the animal failed to migrate before water temperatures became too cold. It also was diagnosed with an impaction of swallowed sand, a severe ear infection, and pneumonia, all of which are now cured,” a July 29 STR statement said. Indeed, such turtles are released only June through September at the Jersey Shore, where ocean temperatures are safe for turtles to return to. Vesper was carried by an STR volunteer down the beach to just before the high-tide mark, and then gently placed on the sand before it started making his way to the water. A large wave crashed in shortly after, and Vesper disappeared in the surf to an eruption of applause from onlookers. If Vesper is male and stays healthy, “we hope to never hear from him again,” Deerr said. “You should never see a sea turtle on the beach. So, if he washes up again, that means he’s sick.” But if Vesper is female, “then yes, we definitely want to see those tag hits come back once she’s nesting, probably in another 10 years or so.” According to National Geographic, Kemp’s Ridley turtles have an average life span of 50 years in the wild. They’ll grow to 2 feet and 100 pounds. Females, sexually mature at around age 12, nest every 1 to 3 years. Deerr and co-executive Brandi Biehl founded the nonprofit STR in 2014, and with the help of generous corporate donors, opened their 4,000-square-foot care facility at Essex County Turtle Back Zoo in 2016. They remain an independent nonprofit with

Continued From Page 1 learn that the township was officially putting the skate park in its capital funding program for recreation. “It shows that the Toms River Council supports its residents and children, to be active and outside enjoying our beautiful town,” local resident Jennifer Luyster said. The contract was awarded to CME Associates, to assist the township with the design of
two full-time staffers, a part-time veterinarian, and volunteers. “All the sea turtles in the world are either threatened or endangered,” Deerr said. “The species we released today is critically endangered. There aren’t many of those left in the world today. Deerr continued: “The vast majority of the effects that are affecting their population are human caused. You have poaching, fishing interactions, beach development, all those things come in to play in taking away their nesting habitat. Activities on the water can impact them as well. Pollution is a huge issue. I know everybody talks about it all the time, but we see turtles with plastic ingestion on a regular basis. It’s not a rare thing.” And, turtles get sick like everyone else. They treat turtles with respiratory infections and cold-stun, the illness that brought Vesper to them, and illnesses that set in after that. Depending on the type and severity of the problem, turtles have stayed at STR from 3 months to 15 months, though Deerr knows of cases where turtles have had to stay in other hospitals for 4 years before being released. To continue their work, STR does depend on donations. Anyone interested in donating can visit seaturtlerecovery.org for more information. Day to day, Deerr said people can help by putting trash where it belongs (hint: not the ocean), recycling and reducing their consumption of single-use plastics. “It really is something simple that people can do. It’s just a matter of changing your habits, and you can make those changes in your day-to-day life and it has a huge impact on our environment, not just sea turtles.”
the Toms River Skate Park for an amount not to exceed $47,500. The physical construction of the park is estimated to cost about $300,000, business administrator Don Guardian said. At a recent meeting, one of those parents, Anthony Devecka, asked about fundraising to help fund the creation of the park. He was informed that the funding was put in a bond ordinance. While fundraising for amenities at a skate park was welcome, township officials wanted to first determine how to make it legal.

Jord a n h a s b e e n m a k i ng b e a d e d bracelets as a hobby for some time. However, it wasn’t until recently that lightning str uck: “I thought ‘What a great way to raise money for a great cause.’ I am making the bracelets by myself and 100% proceeds are going to KCO,” she told Jersey Shore Online. Jor d a n h a s m a d e a few hu nd r e d bracelets and partnered with Hair Hut salon i n Br ick and St yle i n Act ion salon in Manchester to raise money through bracelet sales. If these salons manage to sell 300 bracelets each, they get to choose a local family f ighting cancer to go on a free cr uise.
The Toms River Times, August 10, 2019, Page 5 “It will be entirely up to each owner,” said Jordan. Each bracelet is $10. “I am trying to get the public into the salons to purchase bracelets so we can pay it for ward!” she added. Jord a n wa nt s t o prov ide a not he r family with the ability to relax in the midst of all the stress and wor r y that accompanies the f ight against cancer. W hen Lucia took her family on the cr uise, she had so much f un r iding on bumper cars, swimming, and even rock climbing, Jordan said. With the help of the salon owners, Jord an hopes to t u r n those d reams into reality. “I have to tell you the owners of the salon are amazing…When I explained to them what my ideas they were both all in and so excited to help out!” she added.

CLUMPY, STICKY EYELIDS
Mascara is not the only entity that can cause eyelashes to clump and stick together. “Blepharitis,” caused by inflammation around the base of the eyelashes, also causes redness and stickiness of the eyelid, along with clumping of scaly skin around the base of the eyelashes. This condition is not caused by poor hygiene, can affect anyone of any age, and can be either acute or chronic. The underlying causes of chronic adult blepharitis are not well understood. Treatments for severe blepharitis include “electrochemical lid margin debridement” (which clears any mites, bacteria, and their biofilm from the eyelids); “intense pulse light therapy” (to open clogged eyelid glands); or antibiotics. Treatment objectives are to relieve symptoms, but cannot cure the condition. The best way to avoid blepharitis or keep it from returning is to clean your eyelids daily to prevent the buildup of bacteria and mites. Blepharitis is oftenassociated with skin conditions, such as ocular rosacea, eczema, dandruff and psoriasis. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, our experienced physicians and knowledgeable staff are dedicated to providing you with the very best in patient care, focusing on Lasik, cataract surgery, and premium intraocular lens implants, diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma, dry eye syndrome, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, pediatric ophthalmology, and total eye care.

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) wants to remind residents that vaccinating their precious furry friends can save their pets lives from many deadly diseases such as canine distemper and rabies. “We have recently seen an increase in canine distemper cases in raccoons here in Ocean County so now is a good time to urge all cat and dog owners to vaccinate their pets with age appropriate vaccines as recommended by their veterinarian,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. Pet vaccines exist to prevent your pet from falling ill. They provide immunity from a range of infectious diseases that can affect both humans and animals. Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator reminds us, “Living in Ocean County, many of us share our surroundings with wildlife. Sometimes animals such as raccoons, skunks and opossum may have an unexpected encounter with a family pet so it’s best to be protected from any of the diseases those animals may potentially be carrying. And you can never forget that rabies can be passed on from animals
to humans so keeping vaccinations upto-date is crucial in maintaining not only your pet’s health, but your own.” Tips to keep you r pets safe f rom wildlife: • Keep your dogs on a leash while on walks or at the park • Keep your cats indoors • Do not catch or remove wildlife form their homes • Don’t feed wildlife on your property and don’t feed your pets outside • Keep garbage can lids secure • Enjoy wildlife from a distance Regenye added, “Pet owners should schedule annual wellness appointments with their veterinarian to discuss their health and vaccination schedule. However, if you suspect your cat or dog had contact with a sick animal you should call your veterinarian right away.” If you have any questions regarding vacci nat ions please call t he Ocea n C o u n t y A n i m a l Fa c i l it ie s a t 732 657-8086 or 609 -978 - 0127 or you r veterinarian.

County Prepared To Service Pets With Disaster Relief
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY — According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, over a third of US households are also home to a furry companion. In Ocean County, many local families have dogs or cats they consider part of the family. In an effort to service both humans and animals in the event of an emergency, Ocean County has become the newest member of the AKC Pet Disaster Relief program. AKC Reunite is the largest non-profit pet identification and recovery service provider in the United States. Their national program, AKC Pet Disaster Relief, is dedicated to keeping pets and their owners safe in response to natural or civil disasters. In collaboration with local American Kennel Club dog clubs and dog lovers, AKC Reunite presented an emergency trailer to the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office. The AKC Pet Disaster Relief trailer will be available to dispatch to any disaster scene that needs assistance sheltering pets. “We are beyond grateful to AKC Reunite and the Kennel Club of Philadelphia for providing us with this life-saving tool for our community,” said Kevin Cooney of the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office. “Our department is now better equipped to help pets and pet owners in the case of a disaster.” In the event of an emergency, the AKC Pet Disaster Relief trailers create a safe, temporary home for at least 65 pets during the first 72 hours after a disaster is declared. Inside the trailers you will find essential animal care
items including crates and carriers, AKC Reunite microchips, an AKC Reunite universal microchip scanner, bowls, collars, leashes, fans, lighting and a generator, cleaning supplies and maintenance items. These supplies can be used as co-location shelters, where people can evacuate with their pets, as well as emergency animal shelters for displaced animals. “This is the 76th trailer donated through the AKC Pet Disaster Relief program. The trailer will provide critical resources to help the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office quickly assist its community when responding to natural disasters,” said Tom Sharp, AKC Reunite CEO. “Safe, effective pet sheltering solutions are important following a disaster, and we are pleased that an AKC Pet Disaster Relief trailer will be available to the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office as a vital tool.” A generous donation of $100,000, courtesy of the Kennel Club of Philadelphia, funded the purchase of the OCSD’s new trailer. While Ocean County was the first, the donations funds will continue to provide trailers to eight other counties throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania. “Our association is thrilled to be able to bring such an important resource like the AKC Pet Disaster Relief Trailer to the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office,” said Wayne Ferguson, President of the Kennel Club of Philadelphia. “The trailer will help the organization assist their community in times of disaster”.

—Photo courtesy TRRS TOMS RIVER – Angela Germano, Intermediate East ELA teacher, is a contributor to and co-author of the book Women Who Illuminate, which will be released Aug. 28. Published by Kate Butler Books, the work is described as “a collection of illuminating stories that will brighten your heart’s journey,” and is in the spirit of the popular Chicken Soup for the Soul series. Germano’s chapter—one of “30 illuminating soul stories” in the book—is an honest exploration of a tumultuous home life, and how her own teachers and coaches helped catapult her career and make her dreams become a reality. The motivation to become a published author, something Germano greatly desired but consistently brushed off, came from a close friend. “I was having one of those heart-to-heart conversations with a dear friend about life—where we are and what we are working toward,” said Germano. “She always loves listening to my antics and said, for the umpteenth time since we met in college, that I really need to share
these stories and perspectives with the world.” Despite Germano’s reservations, her friend persisted, and reached out to a recently published colleague who sent Germano Kate Butler’s contact information.Within 24 hours, Germano had pitched her idea to a receptive Butler, and process was underway. Although Germano has had numerous news stories picked up by United Press International and the Associated Press, as well as bylines in Monmouth University’s student-run newspaper The Outlook, and a few literary magazines and online sites, Women Who Illuminate will mark her first time being published in a major book series. “When Kate Butler said, ‘You need to be in this book,’ my heart skipped,” said Germano. “It was someone encouraging me, believing in me, wanting me to express the way I truly was. And when you read my chapter, you will totally get what that means to me.” Women Who Illuminate will be available onAmazon beginning Aug. 28.

Navy-Funded Girls CS Camp Builds Interest in Coding The Latest in Vision Correction Technology B. Athwal, MD • H. Athwal, MD • L. Athwal, MD N. Athwal, OD • D. McDonald, MD –Photo courtesy Toms River Schools TOMS RIVER – Funded by the second year of a grant from the Office of Naval Research, nearly 30 young women from Toms River Regional’s secondary schools were introduced to computer science (CS) through personalized hands-on projects at a camp run July 15-18, at Toms River High School North. Students created wearable technology by coding microcontrollers to light up LEDs using conductive thread. Teachers learned and created alongside them. Girls CodeCamp was the first of seven tech camps offered for free this summer in an initiative the district has titled “TR:TechReady.” The program’s mission is to foster greater interest in computer science as a career and to help students see the value in the integration of STEM concepts across multiple disciplines, including art, civics, and health. Computer science careers are among the most lucrative and accessible, but data shows that only 20 percent of IT positions are held by women, who account for only 18 percent of computer science degree graduates. Toms River’s TechReady approach has been recognized and in many ways duplicated across the state, by using a problem-based approach with real world applications, cross-curricular connections, and students and teachers working together. The original grant application amounted to more than $763,000 over three years. It began last year at the high school level and this year expands to the inter-
mediates. Funds are used to purchase equipment and materials, train staff, and develop experiences for students throughout the year, with the overall goal of increasing CS offerings in the curriculum. Starting with paper and pencil, students utilized an engineering design process to plan their fashion aesthetic with function and purpose. Girls storyboarded their plans to align with the Arduino/C++ code they were using to control the patterns of outputs, which included sound and lights, as well as proximity and temperature sensors. Student projects ran the gamut from programming lights on a t-shirt to communicating by morse code to whole outfits with lights embedded in skirts and tops. One group prepared for a national cosplay convention and created designs based on their fashion icons. On the last day of camp students presented their work to special guests, mentors, and TechReady partners. These included Board Member Anna Polozzo; Hemant Ramachandra, a supporter of Women In Technology Initiatives; and Bobby Samuel and Gaetan Mangano from NAVAIR in Lakehurst. The guests provided students with career insights and connections to community and national resources with the hope that a unique fourday experience might grow into a lifelong passion.

County To Host Master Composter Training Program This Fall
By Kimberly Bosco LAKEWOOD – A Master Composter Training Program will be held this fall, hosted by the Ocean County’s Department of Solid Waste Management and the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders. “This program provides attendees with the tools to be master composters and gives them the opportunity to teach others in their communities about the importance of composting,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gary Quinn. “We want to encourage our residents to sign up and take advantage of what this program has to offer.” The program will take place on two consecutive Saturdays, Sept. 14 and Sept. 21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Recycling Education Center at the Ocean County Northern Recycling Center. The program is free to Ocean County residents and taxpayers. There is a $75 fee for non-residents. Each applicant is encouraged to be sponsored by a group or organization as this ensures the opportunity to establish an outreach network for the program. Many types of groups can sponsor an applicant including garden clubs, municipalities, environmental commissions, recycling committees, retirement communities or service clubs. The course is limited to 20 participants and the registration deadline is Aug. 26. For more information and to register, contact
Sandra Blain-Snow, Recycling Program Aide, at 732-506-5047 or by email at sblain-snow@ co.ocean.nj.us. Registration can also be completed online by filling out and submitting an application at co.ocean.nj.us/recycle and clicking on Composting. Select Master Composter Volunteers from the drop down menu. Once you complete the Master Composter Training Program, you can assist with the county’s efforts in providing residents with information on managing the organic waste they produce in their homes and the benefits of composting. “Master composters have been doing a great job in volunteering their time to help other Ocean County residents who are interested in composting,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines. “The Master Composter Program is a great way to learn about how to manage and reuse the organic waste that is generated in our own homes.” Trained volunteers agree to provide a total of 24 hours of outreach, education and service to promote the benefits of home composting. They are encouraged to tailor their outreach activities to their individual strengths and preferences. “The environmental benefits of using compost are significant,” Quinn said. “It can help clean up contaminated soil, reduce runoff of toxic materials and improve your garden or lawn.”

JCP&L Tips To Beat The Summer Heat
With the summer heat upon us, JCP&L is prepared to meet the anticipated increase in customer electricity usage that comes with a heat wave. Our system is designed and maintained to operate safely and efficiently even when temperatures soar, and our crews have reviewed hot weather operational procedures to ensure any power outages are handled promptly. JCP&L offers some common-sense hot weather tips customers can follow to stay comfortable while using electricity wisely during this period of high demand: • Set thermostats as high as comfort will allow. Every degree a customer can increase the temperature in their home will result in using about 3 percent less energy during the hottest summer days. • During sunny weather, close drapes or blinds on windows facing the sun to prevent direct radiant heating from impacting interior temperatures. • Use fans – moving air cools skin faster, resulting in greater comfort on hot days. • Use a programmable thermostat to keep temperatures higher when no one is home, and to reduce the temperature before arrival back home. • Only operate window air conditioners when someone is in the room.
• Keep refrigerators and freezers as full as possible. Frozen or cold items in the refrigerator help keep other items cool, reducing the amount of work the refrigerator has to do to maintain a lower temperature. • Close rooms that aren’t used regularly during the summer, and close the air conditioning vents in those rooms, as well. • Avoid using heat-producing appliances during the hottest hours of the day. The less heat produced at home, the less work the air conditioner will do. • Consider investing in ENERGY STAR® appliances or heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. JCP&L may offer rebates on these purchases and tax deductions may apply, as well. • Check air conditioner and furnace fan filters. Clogged filters waste energy and money by forcing HVAC systems to work harder than necessary. In addition, if summer storms result in downed wires it is important to avoid the area and immediately call JCP&L. If you see a downed power line, always assume it is live and dangerous. Report downed power lines immediately by calling 1-888-LIGHTSS (888544-4877). Extra caution should be exercised in areas where downed wires may be tangled in downed tree branches or other debris.

breakfast and a farmer’s market with locally grown fruits and vegetables. Some companion cats and dogs will be available for adoption as well. “The health fairs the Ocean County Health Department hosts are just a great one-stop opportunity for our residents to come out and get a smart health check and to learn more about healthy living and all the many other valuable services and programs we offer the community,” Freeholder Gerry P. Little said. For more information, visit ochd.org.

“Clear The Shelters”: Help Animals Find Fur-ever Homes
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Get matched with the perfect furry friend to add to your family at this year’s Clear the Shelters national adoption event! On August 17, the 5th annual event will take place at the Ocean County Animal Facilities in Jackson and Manahawkin, 1-4 p.m. “This is a fantastic event that we look forward to participating in every summer,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “The Clear the Shelter event has been a success every year and we look forward once again to finding good, loving homes for all the wonderful pets we have available for adoption at both facilities.” Clear the Shelters is an annual event that aims to find loving fur-ever homes for as many animals as possible by matching cats, kittens, dogs and puppies with responsible, serious pet owners. In the last two years, Clear the Shelters help over 70 pets find permanent loving homes. “It’s really special to see how the community supports this event. So many people tell us they keep this event in mind when they’ve been seriously looking to find a special pet to add to their family,” said
Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator. “It’s been another busy summer so there will be plenty of kittens, cats and dogs to choose from.” Adoption fees will be half the price on all pets during the event. Every dog and cat adopted from the Ocean County Animal Facilities receives a veterinary exam, age appropriate vaccinations, is spayed/neutered, and microchipped. Every one that adopts a pet will also receive a free goodie bag stuffed with treats and toys. “We have a large variety of kittens and cats that are just adorable. Our dogs come in a variety of breeds, sizes and ages,” said Brian Lippai, OCHD Public Information Officer. “The Ocean County Health Department encourages responsible pet ownership and we like to discourage people from buying from puppy mills. There’s nothing quite like a shelter pet” The Ocean County Animal Facilities are located at 615 Freemont Street in Jackson and 360 Haywood Road in Manahawkin. For more information on “Clear the Shelters” or the Ocean County Animal Facilities, call 732-657-8086 or 609-978-0127, or check out the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Shine a Light on NF Walks
–Photo courtesy Toms River Township TOMS RIVER – Toms River employees recently participated in a fundraiser to raise money for two “Shine a Light on NF Walks” this fall. Catherine “Kitt” Christie in Administration’s grandson, Logan, now 9 years of age, was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis around 2 years of age. NF is a genetic disorder of the nervous system which causes tumors to form on the nerves anywhere in the body at any time. Today, there is no cure for NF. Although there is currently no known cure, the Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF) continues to work diligently through research
to find a cure, discover effective treatments for NF tumors and raise awareness of Neurofibromatosis. Logan, who is treated at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, DC, has benefited through drugs discovered by CTF, keeping his brain tumors stable for the last two years. The money raised will go towards two Shine a Light on NF Walks in October. • Saturday, October 5, 4 p.m. at Seaside Heights Boardwalk: ctf.org/events/shine-alight-nf-walk-new-jersey Logan’s big brother Parker came to visit us this week and collect the money for his brother.
Hoof & Hound
Erin Masur is a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in her third year of practice, and first year as the owner of Hoof & Hound, LLC. Her mobile veterinary practice specifi cally caters to livestock species: sheep, goats, alpacas, pigs, poultry, and cattle. Dr. Masur is proud to be from the Garden State - a state with deep agricultural roots. Our great state is experiencing a renewed passion for homesteading and raising livestock. It’s important that both our first generation farmers and our veteran farmers have access to veterinary medicine and surgery that makes sense for their farm. Dr. Masur strives to be an asset to every farm’s management plan, whether that farm is a herd of one, or a herd of one hundred. Dr. Masur spent her first years in practice working on all species, including dogs and cats. Although she has departed the traditional clinic setting, she firmly believes in housecall hospice services. In-home euthanasia ensures that the passing of your pet does not have to be any harder than it already is. The peace that we wish for our pets can be undermined by a car ride to the clinic and the bright lights of the treatment room. With in-home euthanasia, you choose where and how your family says their final goodbye - whether it’s on their favorite couch or under their favorite tree. Whether you need a livestock vet on your farm, or a hospice vet at your home, call Hoof & Hound at 848-224-5046 or email hoofhoundnj@gmail.com.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Keeping You Informed: Over-the-Counter Devices
With last summer’s passage of the Overthe-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017, you may wonder how it affects your health care. As an AudigyCertified™ practice, we consider patient education an important part of delivering excellent service, so count on us for timely news to support your hearing wellness. What does the law do? The legislation, part of the Food and Drug Administration Reauthorization Act, will allow the retail sale of hearing aids for adults with self-perceived mild to moderate hearing loss — without the crucial involvement of an audiologist or medical doctor. When will I see its impact? Over-thecounter (OTC) hearing technology is at most a few years from being publicly available until federal regulations for safety, labeling, and manufacturing are developed. What are the pros of this change? The law could help expand consumer access to hearing technology, motivate even more people to seek hearing help, and inspire more technical innovations that benefit patients. What are the cons? Access to hearing health care is vital, but the law unfortunately will enable self-treatment for a serious physical condition that trained, licensed professionals are more suited to evaluate, diagnose, and treat. Aren’t OTC hearing devices already available? You may be thinking of personal sound amplification products (PSAPs), which are wearable electronic devices used for activities such as bird-watching or TV-viewing to make a sound louder — not to take the place of properly fit hearing aids. What’s the difference between OTC devices and PSAPs? Currently available
PSAPs are neither FDA-approved nor recommended to treat actual hearing loss. OTC hearing technology will be FDA-regulated but won’t be available for a while. Once available on the market, will OTCs address my hearing needs? Hearing loss is often an inner-ear problem, but sometimes it’s a different issue such as earwax buildup, a foreign object in the ear canal, or an ear infection that may cause temporary hearing difficulty. A PSAP or OTC won’t tackle these types of underlying problems. What else should I know about OTCs? OTCs will address only mild to moderate hearing loss, and even then, noise processing will be far less than a traditional hearing aid. They won’t always offer a successful fit and may be less specific for your situation. What’s the benefit of choosing provider-fit hearing aids instead? Unlike OTCs and PSAPs, provider-fit hearing aids can address the full spectrum of hearing impairment from mild to profound. They’re already FDA-approved, are recommended to treat hearing loss, and can adjust to environmental variables such as background noise as well as help your brain process sound. Self-treating hearing loss might seem convenient, but it can do more harm than good. Professional care — including testing, programming, fitting, and follow-up — helps you get to the bottom of your hearing difficulties and secure the right solution for your communication needs. If you have questions about OTC hearing technology, signs and symptoms of hearing loss, or the dangers of self-treating hearing problems, call us today at 732-818-3610 we’re here to help!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Gadolinium MRI Contrast Dye Accumulates In Brain By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Gadolinium is a silvery-white heavy metal that is injected into the body through a vein and it is a contrast dye. Sometimes it is referred to as contrast media. They help the radiologist see inside you. Gadolinium is like a flashlight in your body. MRIs that require gadolinium can be ordered for many reasons including migraines, coronary artery disease, stroke evaluation, brain tumors, infections and cysts/tumors. Thousands of shots of gadolinium dye are administered to people each day. Side effects may or may not occur. If they do, they are generally very mild like a headache, dizziness, pain at the injection site, prickling or burning sensation on the skin and sometimes nausea. These issues settle down within 24 hours as your body eliminates the drug from your kidneys. It helps if you take an analgesic and some detoxification supplements like glutathione, catalase and R-lipoic acid. Gadolinium is in the news because the popular dye appears to be retained in the brain, raising safety concerns, especially for people who have multiple MRIs per year. More specifically, there has been a study regarding patients who have MS (multiple sclerosis) and these patients were tracked for five years starting from their diagnosis. Over the five years, the researchers found that a by-product of gadolinium called “gadodiamide” does in fact accumulate in the brain. About nine percent of MS patients who received 5 doses or less did have accumulation in their dentate nucleus, which
is involved in voluntary motor function and cognition. What is the clinical impact of this? No one is certain yet. The findings were published in a medical journal called Neurology, July 2019. The study is causing controversy MS community for good reason. The MRIs are needed and useful, but the contrast dye might be harmful if used over and over. Should they get MRIs and if so, is there another contrast dye to use? Is the dye necessary at all? Are all the MRIs necessary? Is the disease progression causing the brain to hold more, or is it ‘sticking’ to everyone’s brain that gets injected with it? No one knows these answers. There are more questions than answers as of this writing. The study did not find any clear correlation between deposition of the dye in the brain and disability. Radiologists nationwide must be beside themselves because again, the dye allows them to provide more accurate results for you. If, for example, the doctor needs to locate an aneurysm, do you really reject to the contrast dye? Since the relationship of gadolinium with disease severity remains unclear, talk to your doctor about whether or not the radiologist needs the contrast dye. Sometimes they can see certain areas without it. If you have a history of kidney compromise, let them know at the imaging center. Every now and then, there’s an extremely dangerous kidney complication, or life-threatening allergic reaction but predicting who has a high risk for these problems is almost impossible.

You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization. Further, it is important to note another critical benefit of the Workers
Compensation Act. This benefit protects Christopher R. Shea Esq. employees f rom collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. 732-505-1212.

GoFundMe Aims To Replace $18K Stolen From Veteran By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – After a local veteran was scammed out of his life savings, his son started up a fundraising website to help regain what was lost. The GoFundMe page, “Senior with Stage 4 Cancer Scammed out of Savings,” was created by John James on July 30 in order to help his father recoup $18,000 that was taken from him through an ongoing telephone scam. While the name of the victim has not been released, we know he is a 77-year old military veteran in Ocean County who suffers from stage 4 cancer. He was reportedly working to become a bus driver. According to the GoFundMe, James’ father received a call last week from someone claiming to be a Social Security agent. This person claimed that his SSN was compromised and that he would need to contact the sheriff ’s department to remedy the situation. While on the phone with someone claiming to be a sheriff, the man was told there was a warrant out for his arrest and that “he needed to do exactly as the agent told him to do.” “Terrified that he was going to be sent to jail and his life’s savings was in jeopardy, he drove to the bank to withdraw his savings. In a panic, he drove all over town with his chemo bag to purchased gift cards at Target, Wal-Mart, and Best Buy. The “agents” told him his money would be protected by giving them the gift card numbers,” read a statement from James
on the GoFundMe. All in all, the scammers made out with $18,000 of his money. “After speaking to the real Sheriff and FBI, there is little to no chance of getting justice or retribution. My father worked his whole life and his savings was stolen from him in one day,” stated James. “My father feels violated, victimized and most of all embarrassed. We are doing our best to keep him in good spirits as he continues to fight his cancer.” James created the fundraiser to not only help replace the thousands of dollars lost to the scammers, but also to spread awareness about the prevalence of these kinds of phone scams. These scam callers will “spoof” a number, which means that it looks as if the actual sheriff’s department is calling based on the number, but in reality, it is someone else entirely. “Please warn everyone you know about these devious plots to scam our loved ones and communities out of their hard-earned life savings,” James said. As of August 2, the GoFundMe has only recouped $2,590 of the $18,000 goal. If you wish to contribute, the fundraiser can be found by going to GoFundMe.com and searching for John James.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE New Mental Health Program To Address Issues with Grief & Loss By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – If you are suffering from grief or loss, this new weekly meeting might be just the thing to help you through it. Wellness in Nurtured Grief Support (WINGS) was created by two local women in the recovery community who aim to redefine grief and loss while creating a supportive environment. WINGS is now part of the Monday night lineup of recovery meetings at the Mental Health Association of Ocean County. According to Michelle Price, co-facilitator of WINGS, noted that the meetings are meant for those who have been touched by loss of any kind, whether it is related to substance use, loss of a career, relationship, dreams, or others. “Grief comes in many forms,” said Price. “We recognize dozens of types of grief, which always surprises people…But we’re working on changing people’s perceptions.” Price stated that grief is typically associated with shame in the recovery community, a perception she calls “unfortunate,” because grief should not be seen as a punishment. WINGS addresses the need from the recovery community to tackle grief and loss in different ways. The grief from losing someone to substance abuse and losing someone to cancer or a car accident can be vastly different, she said. Amy Johnson, WINGS co-facilitator and Price’s partner, has personal experience with the loss of a spouse, which helps her to work with members of the group. “Losing a spouse – or any family member – to an addiction is extremely difficult because of the stigma attached to the disease,” said Johnson. “That’s why starting this group with like-minded people who have had similar experiences can make a difference.” Both Price and Johnson have been trained in a specialized curriculum on grief. The WINGS group began meeting back in February and has attracted members from all walks of life, including both men and women of various ages. According to Price, group attendance varies by week, which she attributes to the needs of each individual as well as the fact that grief is a heavy topic. The group meets weekly, however you are not required to attend each meeting. Price stated that some people facing grief and loss may not be ready to attend and that is OK. When new members attend WINGS, they receive a checklist with many forms of grief. Participants mark all that apply, choose two that affect them the most, and then begin working from that starting point. “Grief is as individual as a fingerprint,” said Price, “Similarly, no relationship is
the same. The relationship I have with my mother is not the same as what the relationship the person next to me has with his/her mother.” WINGS not only provides individuals with a supportive environment, but it also allows people to protect their physical and mental health by preventing anger, stress, sleep disruption, strained relationships, etc. There is no cost to attend a WINGS meeting. Dinner is provided. The meetings are held at 4:15 p.m. every Monday at The Mental Health Association – Ocean County, located at 25 South Shore Drive in Toms River. For more information, call 732-914-1546 or email mprice@mhanj.org.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of AUG 10 - aug 16
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do what comes naturally and easily to you. Participate in activities that allow you to utilize your areas of expertise even it something else is vying for your attention. Trying something new and different should wait a day or two. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): It may be easier just to do it all yourself. Taking on a partner for a project may prove to be more of a hindrance than a help. Fly solo and you won’t waste valuable time sorting out differing opinions on the best course of action. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Focus on quality not quantity. Doing one task well will hold far more value than doing several just-average jobs. Concentrate on getting the details right and you’ll have a product to take pride in. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Courage is being afraid but going ahead anyway. You may need to must your inner confidence to progress through difficult situations this week, but you are up to the task. Check calendar reminders for obligations. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take the path winwin compromise. Trying to impose your will is likely to be met with opposition so look for ways to create a satisfactory solution. You’ll be at your best when employing your imagination and ingenuity. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): No one can carry the whole weight of the world on their shoulders. You’ll be running in perpetual circles if you try to please everyone in the upcoming week. Choose carefully how to spend your
valuable time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Waste not, want not. A conservative approach to possessions and finances may lead you to recycle what is still useful or rein in careless spending. Don’t allow jealousy to skew your judgment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Happy bees make the sweetest honey. A fun and enjoyable environment is always more conducive to achieving success with a project or endeavor. Keeping your sense of humor should be the rule this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take a deep breath. If you find that you are getting in over your head, you may want to take a break and recharge your batteries or choose easier-to-attain goals. Giving into casual whims is not advisable now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sometimes less is more. Handle delicate situations carefully and tactfully this week since pushing too hard could end up causing unintended consequences. An objective, subtle and measured approach works best. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Go at your own pace. Trying to keep up with everyone else may only wear you out so find the comfort zone that works for you and stick with it. Set healthy boundaries and uphold them. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Take all the time you need. Don’t allow someone to limit your options by pressuring you to make a quick decision. Seek out alternative solutions or do some research to find the best choice for you.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Are You Enjoying An Overabundant Summer Harvest? Put It In Your Soup Pot! By Wolfgang Puck At the height of summer, I often happily imagine that Mother Nature has gone wild. What else could you think if you walk out into your vegetable garden or through the aisles of the farmers market and see tomatoes, zucchini, summer squashes, kale, chard, sweet corn, peas and other produce at their most beautiful, freshest, and most flavorful - all just begging to be cooked and eaten. To be honest, it can sometimes be overwhelming. What to choose? Harvest or purchase too much, and you may be left regretting wonderful ingredients gone to waste. It can seem impossible to cook it all. But recently, I came across a recipe from a chef on my worldwide culinary team that actually does manage to cook it all, in one big, glorious pot of soup. Vincenzo Scarmiglia, executive chef at Cucina by Wolfgang Puck in Las Vegas, serves guests his version of a traditional Italian recipe he calls Zuppa del Frantoio, which translates as “oil mill soup,” referring to the giant presses used to make cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil. Good, fragrant olive oil plays an important role in this dish, not only for the initial sauteing but more importantly for finishing each serving with a drizzle that releases wonderful aroma and flavor on contact with the hot soup. But the real stars of this soup are the vegetables, 20 twenty in all (that is, if you count two separate sources of tomato along with two different kinds of beans); all simmered together in vegetable broth. No wonder the dish is also called “Twenty Vegetable Soup.” Don’t be alarmed by the long list of ingredients. You’ll only have to buy one each of most of the vegetables, and you can certainly double up on some to make the soup with fewer varieties. For that matter, feel free to substitute or include other vegetables you like from your garden or the market. Most of the work involved in preparing the soup goes into simply dicing the vegetables to a uniform size - 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 12 mm) - that will cook evenly and quickly. Then, you just add them to the pot in the right order as listed in the recipe, starting with those that take longer to cook and then later adding more tender vegetables. Toward the end, you add the quick-cooking leaves, chopped cauliflower and the canned beans. (A quick note: Half of the canned beans are pureed to give thick, velvety body to the soup’s broth). It’s a luxurious bowlful that may remind you of the best minestrone you’ve ever had, apart from the fact that there’s no pasta included. Serve it with lots of crusty Italian bread, and you have a delicious first course that’s so satisfying you may need nothing else to follow. ZUPPA DEL FRANTOIO Serves 8 1/2 cup (125 mL) drained canned white beans 1/2 cup (125 mL) drained cranberry beans or
pinto beans 1/2 cup (125 mL) good-quality fruity extravirgin olive oil, plus extra for seasoning and serving 1 ounce (30 g) chopped garlic, 6 or 7 cloves 2 ounces (60 g) diced red onion, about 1/2 small onion 2 ounces (60 g) diced white onion, about 1/2 small onion 2 ounces (60 g) diced split and rinsed leek white, about 1/2 medium leek 2 ounces (60 g) peeled and diced carrot, about 1 medium carrot 2 ounces (60 g) trimmed and diced celery, about 1 rib 2 ounces (60 g) diced zucchini, about 1/3 medium zucchini 2 ounces (60 g) diced yellow summer squash, about 1/3 medium squash 2 ounces (60 g) peeled, seeded, and diced butternut squash, about 1-inch (2.5-cm) slice of squash 1 cup (250 mL) canned tomato puree 4 ounces (125 g) Roma tomatoes, diced, about 2 tomatoes 2 ounces (60 g) peeled and diced potato, about 1/3 medium potato 4 cups (1 L) good-quality canned vegetable stock 2 ounces (60 g) coarsely chopped cauliflower, just under 1/4 small head 2 ounces (60 g) freshly shucked corn kernels, from 1 small to medium ear 2 ounces (60 g) freshly shelled peas, about 4 ounces (125 g) unshelled 4 ounces (125 g) baby spinach leaves 2 ounces (30 g) de-ribbed and coarsely chopped black kale or green kale 1 to 2 ounces (30 g) coarsely chopped rainbow chard or Swiss chard, about 1 leaf Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving Transfer half of the white beans to a blender or food processor, and blend or process until pureed. Set aside in a covered bowl in the refrigerator. Do the same with the cranberry or pinto beans. Drain and reserve the whole beans. Heat the 1/2 cup (125 mL) olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions, leek, carrot and celery. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have turned golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the zucchini, yellow squash, butternut squash and canned and diced tomatoes. Cook until the squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, whole beans and bean purees, and vegetable stock. Raise the heat, stirring occasionally, and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, stir in the cauliflower, corn, peas, spinach, kale and chard. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the kale and chard are tender, 5 to 7 minutes longer. Season the soup to taste with more olive oil, salt and pepper. Serve ladled into bowls, passing Parmesan and additional oil for each person to add to taste.
