–Photo courtesy Robin Sinor The Beach Haven West section of Stafford Township was greatly damaged as a result of Superstorm Sandy in 2012. By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – This year marked the 7th anniversary of the day Superstorm Sandy struck the Jersey coast, taking over 140 lives and causing at least $70 billion in damage. While many would say the Jersey Shore is on the mend or nearly healed, there are a remaining few who continue to feel the lasting effects of Sandy’s
devastation at home. State and local leaders came together recently to draw attention to the flaws in recovery programs and the rising cost of flood insurance that have kept so many from fully rebuilding their homes destroyed by Sandy, even now in 2019. The Quinn family of Silverton in Toms River is one of these families. Seven years ago, storm
surges from the Barnegat Bay sent three foot waves crashing into Doug Quinn’s ranchstyle home, flooding the house where he lived with his teenaged daughter with four feet of water. Later, Quinn became one of many who were underpaid by their flood insu rance company after Sandy. Despite a $254,000 damage assessment and $250,000
in flood insurance coverage, the Quinn’s initially received only $92,000, of which their mortgage company held half, leaving them with little money to remediate and rebuild. Quinn spent years tied up in the NJ Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, Elevation, and Mitigation (RREM) Program, which was created under (Sandy - See Page 4)
Soldiers Overseas Request Christmas Decorations
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Troops serving overseas are in a hostile, harsh environment, and welcome anything that reminds them of home. And nothing says a piece of home like Christmas decorations. Lloyd Mullikin, a Bayville resident and a veteran, has been collecting items to send to troops. He ships them in boxes to soldiers that he has been in contact with, so that he knows exactly what they are looking for.
“With Christmas coming, I am starting to be asked for simple decorating items, such as lighting, etc.,” Mullikin wrote to some of the folks who regularly support his mission. “Nothing fancy, just cheap dollar store items,” came the request of a soldier serving in Afghanistan. One Base Commander has told him that they set up a “Resiliency Room” for the more than 600

Police Answer Questions About Recent Shooting
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – A shooting outside Brick Memorial High School has residents asking a lot of questions. How did the victim get back inside the school if the school was in lockdown? How did police respond? Are we safe? Police sat down with The Brick Times a week after the shooting for answers. The Oct. 22 shooting occurred just after the school’s dismissal and wounded a 16-year-old student, who then ran back to the high school. Once there, the student, who was bleeding from his shoulder, was let into the school by a fellow student. “I don’t think we can’t prevent someone from helping someone who is in need of assistance, especially medical assistance,” said Police Chief James Riccio. The injured student, who was not the intended victim, is expected to make a full recovery (Riccio said they think they know who the (Shooting - See Page 5)
How Would Banquet Hall Impact Area? By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Professionals hired by Vilamoura, LLC continued to make their case for the construction of a 42,011-square-foot banquet hall and restaurant during a third hearing before the Board of Adjustment. Critics have stated that the proposed building would be too large for the area. Attorney John Jackson called his first professional, architect Daniel Governale to give examples of other “iconic structures of significant height that do not have a negative impact on the surrounding community,” to which opposing attorney Ron Gasiorowski objected. Gasiorowski, one of two attorneys hired by the borough of Mantoloking (the other is Robin LaBue) (Banquet - See Page 5)

Sandy:
Continued From Page 1 the Christie Administration. The RREM Program is meant to provide grant awards to the primary residences of homeowners for activities necessary to restore their storm-damaged homes, including reconstruction, rehabilitation, elevation and/or other mitigation activities, according to the NJ Department of Community Affairs. The holdup ended up costing him even more, adding $42,000 in legal fees in the fight to get what he was entitled to rebuild. On Oct. 27, 2019, nearly seven years to the day Sandy hit, Quinn was joined by Senator Bob Menendez, and other Sandy survivors and advocates as he returned to his finally-rebuilt home. “We are happy to finally get home after Superstorm Sandy,” said Quinn. The Quinn family was first visited by Sen. Menendez in July 2014, when they discussed the systemic problems that delayed recovery for thousands of Sandy survivors. “When I visited Doug’s storm-wrecked home back in 2014, I made a promise that I wouldn’t stop fighting until he and his family could return home. It’s been an honor to keep that promise, but I won’t be satisfied until we fix what’s broken,” said Sen. Menendez. The theme of the Oct. 27 celebration at Quinn’s newly-rebuilt home was ‘finished but undone,’ because while the Quinns finally regained their home, many other families have not and there is much work to be done to fix disaster recovery systems. “The fact that it took seven years shows just
how broken disaster recovery is in America and how badly the National Flood Insurance Program needs to be reformed,” said Quinn. “American families need affordable flood insurance and the senator’s NFIP reauthorization bill promises to deliver that by eliminating the waste and fraud that have come to characterize the program” Sen. Menendez, chair of the Sandy Task Force and a senior member of the Senate Banking Committee that oversees the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), authored the National Flood Insurance Program Reauthorization and Reform (NFIP-Re) Act of 2019, which “tackles systemic problems with flood insurance, puts it back on solid fiscal ground, and reframes the nation’s entire disaster paradigm to one that focuses more on prevention and mitigation to spare the high cost of rebuilding after flood disasters,” according to officials. Menendez claims that “without real reform, we’ll be facing the same exact problems we faced after Superstorm Sandy when the next storm comes.” The NFIP-Re caps premiums to keep flood insurance affordable but also includes individual and community wide mitigation. Affordable flood insurance is key to ensuring the revival and survival of coastal communities, according to Joe Mangino, President of the New Jersey Organizing Project (NJOP). “If our flood insurance rates triple or quadruple over the next four years all this fighting we have done over the last 7 years to get myself, Doug and other families home will be useless because we will be forced out and our communities will crumble,” said Mangino.
NFIP-Re also holds insurance companies accountable for underpayment, and eliminates the ‘earth movement’ clause that plagued some Sandy survivors. The earth movement clause is an exclusion found in many property insurance policies eliminating coverage for loss resulting from earth movement, except ensuing fire, according to IRMI. More than five million American families, including more than 220,000 New Jerseyans, depend upon the NFIP, which Congress must reauthorize before it expires next month. “The current NFIP does not work for our communities and we need to see a better, affordable and a fair NFIP. We support the NFIP Re as it works for us and our communities - not the insurance companies,” stated Jody Stewart of the NJOP. “New Jersey Organizing Project’s goal is to see every Sandy survivor get home and be able to afford to stay in their homes.” Another Sandy survivor, and organizer with the NJOP, Alison Arne highlighted that this is not just a coastal issue but a statewide issue, as 95 percent of NJ municipalities have flood insurance claims filed. “And that’s why the NFIP-Re is so important, it puts billions of dollars into mitigation. For every $1 we spend in mitigation, we save $6 in disaster recovery,” she added. In addition to flawed recovery programs or costly flood insurance premiums, organizations like NJOP are working to address another issue: clawbacks. A clawback is the recovery of monies already paid by insurance companies or programs requiring storm survivors to pay back their own insurance money, a loan, or a grant because
of “an outdated and dysfunctional disaster recovery system,” as the NJOP puts it. Robert Wachendorf of Brick Township is yet another Sandy survivor, one who has lost nearly everything to the storm and now faces a fear of clawbacks. Wachendorf and his family were displaced by Sandy and are still not yet returned home, residing in a rental for the time being. “A clawback can be very damaging to our family since we’ve recently exhausted our savings and are now saddled with heavy credit card debt,” he explained. Mangino visited the Wachendorf family on Oct. 27, along with other leaders including Congressman Andy Kim, at their rental home. “It’s tragic that Robert and Kristine’s children have spent either all or most of their lives as displaced Sandy victims. They deserve to have family stability. Recovery programs need to work faster and more efficiently than what is currently taking place with Sandy recovery,” Mangino said. Some action has been taken already, when Governor Phil Murphy put a freeze on clawbacks in 2018. However, the problem has not yet been solved. As NJOP stated, a freeze does not mean money is not owed, just that repayment is not due at this time. Congressman Kim added: “It breaks my heart when families tell me they are still not in their homes after Superstorm Sandy…To those of you whose homes were damaged, to those of you scammed by fraud or treated unfairly, to those of you worried about the next storm or flood, I promise you I will keep fighting for you and your families.”

Shooting:
Continued From Page 1 intended victim was). The school’s resource officer Detective Tim McCarthy was still on the grounds of the school when he got a radio call from police dispatch telling him that shots had been fired at the school. Shortly afterwards, he received updated information that there had been an injury. Patrol units arrived and joined McCarthy within moments, Riccio said. The police established a perimeter at the high school and at the nearby Lanes Mill Elementary School to be sure students would be safe, and until they were more sure about what had transpired, he said. Some of the students leaving the elementary school were reportedly crying as they were released to their parents or as they boarded school buses. Stacy Diblasi, whose son is in second grade at Lanes Mill Elementary, said her son was happy to see her and her husband waiting for him at the bus stop when he got off the school bus that day. “He didn’t know a child had been shot, and I’m grateful for that,” she said. “He found out the next day. This is their new normal, and that’s sad,” she added. Her son told her the school had been on lockdown, and he didn’t get scared until he saw the yellow police tape outside. “I believe the police did an excellent job, and the teachers did an excellent job,” Diblasi said. “As a parent, it was terrifying, but this is what we have to deal with.”
The Brick Times, November 9, 2019, Page 5 She said the Brick Memorial student who opened the door for his wounded schoolmate did the right thing. “Do we want these kids to grow up thin king ever yone is going to har m them?” she asked. “That’s no way to grow up.” The day after the shooting, police arrested a 17-year-old after executing a no-knock warrant in Asbury Park. A second teen from Brooklyn, aged 16, turned himself in on Oct. 26. He had previously lived in Asbury Park and Brick, Riccio said. Riccio credited the apprehension of the 17-year-old to “old fashioned detective work and talking to people,” assisted by video footage from home security systems in the area. In the days following the shooting, Brick police stepped up patrols and special enforcement in areas known for criminal activity, which led to the arrest of 19 individuals in a three-day period. “People need to understand, the best security we put in place won’t stop someone who wants to come in anywhere and do harm, we can only mitigate it,” Riccio said. “We try to limit the number of people that are hurt or killed, and we’re trained to get there quickly and neutralize the person who is doing harm. “It’s important for people to know, we are not the crime capital people are making us out to be,” Riccio said. “There were a couple of high-profile incidents, but you can’t define our community on those incidents. It’s an unfair statement.”

Board of Adjustment attorney Ronald Cucchiaro allowed the testimony to continue. “Let’s hear what they have to say,” he said. “There might be some things the board can take into consideration.” Governale said the Bay Head Yacht Club is 66 feet tall to the uppermost chimney, and its footprint is 80 feet by 220 feet.

By comparison, the footprint of the proposed banquet hall/restaurant is 90 feet by 190 feet, and 78 feet above grade, he said. When the nearby Mantoloking Bridge is in the open position, the top of the bridge measures 74 feet, Governale said. Oceanfront homes in Mantoloking that are built on three or more conforming lots may build to a height of 58 feet above grade, or 64 feet above sea level, he said.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Assembly Needs To Pass Code Blue Law Although homelessness is not a seasonal issue, it certainly is a social issue that gains more focus and public attention as the summer season gives way to the dropping temperatures of the fall. Here in New Jersey, our State Legislature has taken significant steps to help the homeless or those defined by law as “at risk individuals” as the temperature drops through the creation of the Code Blue alert program. The Code Blue alert program presently allows individual County Emergency Management coordinators to declare a Code Blue when temperatures are projected to reach 25 degrees Fahrenheit or lower without precipitation or 32 degrees or lower with precipitation. A Code Blue alert can also be declared if the National Weather Ser-
vice wind-chill temperature will be zero degrees Fahrenheit or less for a period of two hours or more. Upon declaration of a Code Blue alert, individual municipalities are authorized to open up emergency warming centers to provide shelter to those in need, those who are at risk for weather related exposure or possible death. Between November 2018 and March of 2019, the Township of Toms River utilized the Riverwood Fieldhouse at Riverwood Park for its emergency warming center. On nights when a Code Blue was declared, the Township was averaging between 25-40 individuals who were seeking shelter from the elements. Each of these individuals received a hot meal for dinner and a warm and safe place to sleep. During the course of the 2018-2019 Code Blue program, the Toms River Town-
ship Council was alerted to an issue with the present state of the Code Blue law that did not appear to coincide with the spirit of why the law was initially drafted. On Christmas Eve, 2018, the temperature in Toms River dropped below 25 degrees Fahrenheit. The weather was dry, there was no precipitation, and thus the Code Blue was declared and at risk residents were able to have a warm and safe place to reside. On Christmas Day, 2018, the temperatures rose to 28 degrees Fahrenheit, but because it was sunny and there was no precipitation, the Code Blue alert by law could not be declared. Simply put, the temperature rose from 24 degrees Fahrenheit to 28 degrees Fahrenheit, and as a result, the Code Blue was not declared, the warming center did not open, and the “at risk individuals” were left at risk.
Recognizing that below freezing is below freezing, whether or not there is precipitation, the Toms River Township Council passed a resolution calling upon our State Legislature to draft a bill authorizing the declaration of a Code Blue when temperatures reach 32 degrees Fahrenheit regardless of precipitation. Senator Robert W. Singer, Deputy Minority Leader, Legislative District 30, immediately responded to Toms River Township’s call for assistance, drafting and acting as the Primary Sponsor for New Jersey Senate Bill S3422. New Jersey Senate Bill S3422 proposes a change to the Code Blue alert program to allow for a Code Blue to be declared once temperatures reach 32 degrees Fahrenheit, regardless of precipitation. Senate Bill S3422 is also sponsored by
Senator Thomas H. Kean, Jr., Senator Declan J. O’Scanlon, Jr., and Senator Vin Gopal. On June 20, 2019, New Jersey Senate Bill S3422 was presented before the full Senate for a vote and passed overwhelmingly with 34 Senators in support and 2 Senators not in support of the change in the law. On this same date, this proposed bill was referred to the New Jersey State Assembly for consideration, and is presently under consideration in the Assembly Homeland Security and State Preparedness Committee. I am respectfully calling upon our Representatives in the New Jersey State Assembly to take action and support S3422. Simply put, this bill will save lives and will provide the protection to at risk individuals that was certainly contemplated and intended with the original legislation. I am respectfully indicating
to our Representatives in the New Jersey State Assembly that time is of the essence, that the weather temperatures are dropping, and that the Assembly’s support of S3422 can help make a difference in the lives of many at risk individuals this winter. New Jersey Senate Bill S3422 is a non-partisan bill that is designed to protect members of our community that our struggling. It provides an opportunity for all of us to come together and make a positive change in our community. Please join me in encouraging our State Assembly to support the action of our State Senate, and to advance New Jersey Senate Bill S3422 to the desk of Governor Murphy. Terrance L. Turnbach Toms River Township Council, Ward 4

While the Atlantic City Press is designated as the official newspaper for Little Egg Harbor, and receives a sizable amount of revenue from the Township they do not have a reporter assigned to the Township. The loss of reliable local news source has many consequences one of them is the inability to watchdog the actions of government agencies and elected officials. With attendance at town council meetings at an all-time low, transparency has become an issue. Little Egg Harbor has scaled back on the number of scheduled meetings from what was once 21 a year to 16.

It’s Naïve To Believe Trump Still A recent letter decries media criticism of Donald Trump. She tells us he’s “doing a great job” but offers no specifics to back up that very general statement. Like most Trump supporters she’d likely point to the economy even though the economic upturn began under President Obama before continuing under Trump. And while there have been days of tremendous gains on Wall Street during Trump’s term there have also been
sign of the turbulence and uncertainty caused in part by his erratic behavior and questionable policy decisions. Two comments from her letter seem worthy of a response from someone not in agreement with her assessments. She claims Obama never had to deal with the same media scrutiny as Trump. Anyone who watched ten minutes of Fox News during the Obama years knows that not to be true. It bears noting that many of their attacks were not on his policies but extended into non political matters like the absurd “birther” conspiracy or the “Latte Salute.” Another comment stuck in my craw was her description of CNN and MSNBC viewers as “naive.” It seems more naive to take the word of a pathological liar over any media outlet that offers independent corroboration for their claims. Of course Trump supporters are always willing to dismiss evidence of his criminal behavior as “fake news” and instead find
wildly speculative twitter rants. She is entitled to her beliefs. She has the right to believe a man with a history of shady business practices is now committed to the betterment of the working man. She is free to believe that hundreds of dedicated public servants in the intelligence field are lying about both 2016 and ongoing election interference. She is free to believe Trump’s boast of wiping out the federal deficit is best served by giving huge tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans and corporations. She is entitled to believe his childish behavior is warranted and not the defensive posturing of a man boxed into a corner by his own lies. She is entitled to believe all these things and more in spite of mounting evidence suggesting a man guilty of multiple criminal acts. To many of us though it does seem a bit “naive.” Bill Pane Farmingdale

Banquet:
Continued From Page 5 least 50, and a vestibule had been added for outside the ballroom to prevent a “blast of sound” every time the door opens, he said. When opposing attorney for Save Barnegat Bay Michele R. Donato questioned the specifics of what an STC rating is, Jackson conferred with his clients and agreed to bring an acoustic expert to the next hearing. After a 10-minute break, Jackson presented traffic expert engineer Justin Taylor, who had performed a traffic analysis for the site itself and for the surrounding roadways. He said that a new traffic light that includes a left-turn lane into the banquet hall/restaurant facility and into Traders Cove Marina is integral to the plan. “The site won’t function without it,” he added. The light would only turn red when someone was trying to exit Traders Cove Marina or the site of the proposed banquet hall/restaurant. If there is no demand, the light could stay green all day in the winter for cars traveling on Mantoloking Road, Taylor said. “We were able to do a minor four-foot widening along our frontage to allow a left turn lane going into the site,” he said. There would be a “slight change” from the site’s current driveway in order to accommodate the driveway going into Traders Cove Marina. They would be directly across the roadway from each other, he said. A variance would be needed to allow for
9’x18’ traffic spaces instead of the required 10’x18’ spaces on the property, he said. All parking space aisles would have the required 25’ alley except for the southwest corner of the site which has been set aside for valet parking, where cars would be double- and triple-stacked. Taylor said the surrounding roadway capacity can handle the additional traffic. Using traffic counts taken during peak hours - a Saturday in the summer of 2018 from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. - the site generated an overall traffic delay at the light at the foot of the bridge in Mantoloking of 37 seconds. This comment elicited laughter from some members of the audience. “There is a minor increase in the delay, and it is an acceptable increase in the delay,” Taylor added. The traffic expert said that delays caused by an open bridge “had not been directly contemplated into the analysis.” The final witness during the special hearing was one of Vilamoura LLC managing members Joe Maurillo. He said the banquet hall/restaurant would be working under one LLC since there is one liquor license. “It’s going to be very high end, the best of the best,” Maurillo said. Vilamoura’s professionals will be cross-examined by opposing attorneys after their testimony has been completed. Afterwards, there would be public comment. The next hearing will be on Wednesday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m.

MELANOMA OF THE EYE Although melanoma occurs most often on the skin, it can develop in the eye since melanoma develops in the cells that produce “melanin,” the pigment that gives both skin and eyes their color. Eye melanoma most commonly develops in the “uvea,” the vascular layer of the eye sandwiched between the retina and the white of the eye (sclera). Also known as “uveal melanoma,” this type of cancer can occur in the front part of the uvea (iris and ciliary body) or in the rear portion of the uvea (choroids layer). While “primary eye cancer” starts in the eye, 90 percent of melanomas start in the skin, which means they are “secondary eye cancer.” It is not clear why eye melanomas develop. People born with certain growths in or on the eye, as well as those with lighter colored eyes, are at a greater risk for developing ocular melanoma. If your ophthalmologist suspects that you have ocular melanoma, he or she may recommend more tests.

Hackensack Meridian Health Partners with Point Pleasant Borough School District to Combat Youth Vaping
Committee To Elect Holzapfel, Wolfe & McGuckin
–Photo Provided By Hackensack Meridian Health POINT PLEASANT ― Hackensack Meridian Health, New Jersey’s largest and most comprehensive health network, conducted its first Take Vape Away symposium, partnering with the Point Pleasant Borough School District to alert adolescents and adults about the dangers of vaping, which have led to more than 1,600 lung-related illnesses and 34 deaths in the U.S., including a New Jersey woman, according to the CDC. A panel of medical experts, school district leaders, and educators discussed the dangers of vaping and Hackensack Meridian Health officials presented the School District a grant for $7,000, the first distribution to combat vaping in middle school and high school. “As a father and health care executive, I am alarmed at the vaping epidemic especially when it comes to young people and I am pleased that Hackensack Meridian Health is taking the lead against youth vaping,” said Robert C. Garrett, CEO of Hackensack Meridian Health. More than 1,600 patients have been treated for lung injuries associated with vaping across the U.S. and 34 have died, including a New Jersey woman and two others in the Tri-State area, according to the CDC.

third of the patients treated for vaping-related illness are 20 and younger. “The number of adolescents has grown exponentially and today more than 1 in 4 high school students report using e-cigarettes, which is a dramatic increase in just one year,” said Regina M. Foley, Ph.D., MBA, RN, chief hospital executive of Hackensack Meridian Health Southern Ocean Medical Center, who moderated the panel. “We are grateful for the support from Hackensack Meridian Health to help prevent students of the Point Pleasant Borough from starting to vape and assist those already using e-cigarettes to overcome their nicotine addiction,” said Vincent Smith, superintendent of Point Pleasant Borough School District. “This grant comes at the perfect time to build upon our local efforts already in place to address the health effects that come along with e-cigarette use.” Experts are still uncertain what is causing the serious lung injuries, but regulators and lawmakers are proposing banning some products. The FDA will develop guidelines to remove from the market all e-cigarette flavors except tobacco. For more information, visit takevapeaway. com.
“As a recipient of excellent care at All-Care, I am highly recommending them to anyone who needs physical therapy. I found the staff very knowledgeable, efficient, friendly, and caring.”

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Interruption In Waiting Room
Dear Joel, Recently, while in my doctor’s waiting room completing paperwork a middle-aged man sat down, proceeded to turn on his electronic device and watch a movie. Not only was the volume loud, it was competing with the television, as well as front-desk telephones and conversation. I moved as far away as I could, but the room is small. I was tempted to ask him to turn it down, but I was concerned as to what his reaction would be. What is your suggestion for situations like this? Answer: You are not alone; many others have experienced similar situations. I personally have left a waiting room and stood outside. However, you should not be inconvenienced or uncomfortable. In order to avoid a confrontation, I would suggest speaking with the front desk or the
office manager. Explain the situation and request that the person be quietly spoken to or removed from the area, and that signage requesting ‘courtesy’ be posted to avoid future incidents. If the office does not wish to address the immediate situation, then request to be put in an exam room or office. Also, I would not hesitate to share your feelings with your physician, they may be unaware of the daily practice goings on and would be happy to put policies in place to avoid future issues. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

Does My Insurance Have A Hearing Aid Benefit?
It can be quite confusing figuring out whether your insurance carries a hearing aid benefit. What we do know is MEDICARE does not pay for hearing aids and MEDICAID does. However, many secondary insurances have a hearing aid benefit if you’re willing to spend hours of your time on the phone speaking with a live representative to give you that information. To save you time, this is what I know: First, a large majority of CIGNA plans have a hearing aid benefit. This benefit is administered by a 3rd party administrator called Amplifon. You are required to register through Amplifon’s portal such that the Audiologists staff can assess your benefits information and print it out. Second, many of the AETNA plans have a hearing aid benefit either through a 3rd party such as Amplifon or a flat monetary benefit that is paid to the Audiologist. This benefit can range from $500 to $750 in most cases. Third, those of you that have Federal BC/BS typically have a $1250 hearing aid benefit per ear. In addition, those Federal employees can also choose to go through a 3rd party administrator such as TruHearing. Fourth, many of the Ford and/or General Motors retirees have a hearing
aid benefit administered through 3rd parties such as American Hearing Benefits (AHB) or AudioNet. Other 3d party administrators include HEAR USA, EPIC, and Your Hearing Network. The best advice that I can give you is to provide your Audiologist with your insurance information so that they can verify your benefits. In the vast majority of these plans, you will save a significant amount of money taking advantage of your 3rd party benefit. The pitfalls of these plans include the following: Most of these plans do not offer long 0% interest plans The Audiologist is limited to specific manufacturers for the hearing aid selected. In many cases, this may not be the best hearing instrument for the patient’s lifestyle and listening needs The Audiologist can charge for their time after the first year of services Dr. Izzy is always available to answer your questions about most hearing care issues. Dr. Izzy and his Staff have offices in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin and can be reached at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) or visit: www. gardenstatehearing.com.

TINEA VERSICOLOR
Tinea versicolor (TV) is a fungal infection that interferes with the skin’s normal pigmentation, creating discolored patches that are much lighter or darker than the surrounding skin. TV usually affects the shoulders, back, chest, and stomach areas. It is more common in teens and young adults, and while it can be a bit itchy, it is not painful. The fungus that causes TV is present on most normal skin, but hormonal changes, oily skin, humidity, or a weakened ,immune system can cause it to overgrow, resulting in discoloration. Over-the-counter antifungal medicines can usually solve the problem, but when they don’t work, doctors can offer prescription strength versions. Skin may remain uneven for weeks after treatment. Tinea versicolor is one of the most common skin diseases in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. People who live in tropical areas may have tinea versicolor year-round. Our dermatologists specialize in the treatment of a wide range of skin conditions, including skin cancer, acne, moles, rosacea, psoriasis, warts, eczema, and more. Contact us today to schedule an appointment — we are here to help. P.S. Tinea versicolor can be persistent, and breakouts can reoccur even after treatment has cleared up the initial problem. In these cases, preventative medication is often required.

Peppermint Is A Cool Solution For IBS By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Many people have lost their joy in eating and that’s because they have Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS which includes many symptoms including bloating, abdominal pain, fatigue, sleep problems, and suppressed immunity. One hallmark symptom is that which affects your ability to eliminate. I’m referring to diarrhea, or constipation, or alternating between the two. An actual diagnosis of IBS is based upon your duration of symptoms which must be six months or more. If you’re tired of the problem, and sad because you have to toilet-map every trip to the mall, then maybe peppermint is something you should try. Peppermint is a beautiful plant that has been medicinally treasured for centuries. Known botanically as Mentha piperita, peppermint is actually a hybrid! It’s the hybrid baby of its parents watermint and spearmint. Most people know that applying peppermint essential oil to your temples can help with a headache, and that peppermint gum and candies freshen your breath. Mint leaves can be infused into a pitcher of ice water for instant freshness, not to mention antibacterial and anti-fungal effects. I think that’s where mint excels for people, it has been proven to help with SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and IBS. Peppermint is available at any health food store (soft gels and liquid extracts) and supermarket (usually as a tea). You can also buy it in the produce section of some supermarkets as fresh whole leaf. The supplements of peppermint oil (enteric coated) are considered a
relatively safe, effective traditional holistic remedy. I’m not referring to essential oil, I’m referring to a dietary supplement of peppermint oil which acts as a smooth muscle relaxant inside your intestines, as well as an antispasmodic herb. It is also known to help with gas, bloating, and minor cramping. The latest study published in the August 27, 2019 issue of Gastroenterology was conducted in part, to evaluate the safety and efficacy for peppermint in people with IBS. They used two different formulations that would go to certain parts of the intestine. They got about 190 people to agree to participate, across several hospitals in the Netherlands. This trial ran from 2016 to 2018. The enteric coated (small intestine release) preparation of peppermint did in fact prove to help reduce abdominal pain, discomfort, and general IBS severity. Here’s a few words of caution. The enteric coated form is ideal because plain peppermint oil can irritate the stomach lining and make heartburn and ulcers worse. The enteric coating protects the peppermint oil so that it can get down lower to your intestines (rather than breaking down in your stomach). Avoid peppermint if you have GERD which is a disorder of the lower part of your esophagus. My rationale is because peppermint relaxes your esophageal sphincter and will allow acid to reflux upwards. That’s what you are trying to avoid! So antacids and peppermint supplements should not be combined. There are other warnings, so please ask your doctor if this type of herbal remedy is good for you.

Inside The Law Protect Yourself And Your Family By Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates A significant percentage of the motor vehicles that travel though our community are either uninsured or underinsured. To protect against the harms and losses caused by uninsured or underinsured motorists, automobile insurance companies are obligated by law to provide uninsured motorist (UM) coverage to those motorists who purchase Standard policies. Although underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage is not mandatory, typically they are sold hand-in-hand with UM endorsements and are found in virtually all Standard automobile insurance policies in New Jersey. As the name suggests, UM /UIM coverage is that element of an insured’s own policy of insurance under which he or his family may be compensated for injuries and losses suffered at the hands of an uninsured or underinsured motorist. This coverage also applies when you are injured as a passenger in someone else’s vehicle. UM/UIM insurance is very inexpensive yet very important. It is designed to protect you and your family. For in-
Michael J. Deem
stance, you are sitting at a red light minding your business when all of the sudden a drunk runs a red light, crashes into your vehicle and causes you to spend the next week in the hospital with multiple permanent, internal injuries. Your only source of compensation for pain, suffering and unpaid medical bills may come from your UM/UIM insurance policy if the drunk was uninsured or underinsured. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. And although the failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment many people deliberately do not carry insurance or do not realize that their insurance policy has expired or been cancelled. Never rely upon a stranger to protect you and your family. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is your responsibility. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

KNEE PAIN? Grinding, popping, difficulty walking or going up and down the stairs, bone-on-bone pain… Does any of this sound familiar?
There’s no one single answer to all knee pain, especially when every person is different. The truth is, it is impossible to know what kind of treatment would be effective until your case is examined. Only then can medical professionals determine what would be best for you. People suffering from knee pain often try a number of potential solutions before finding relief. What works for one person may not work for another, and that’s where expert 5-star care and nearly 20 years of experience comes into play at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation. Knee pain patients are unique and suffer from a great deal of pain. They deserve and require practitioners who are invested in their case, who take the time to explain what’s causing the pain
and why particular treatments may work or not work. That’s the difference at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation. Five-star service and the well-being of their patients are the doctors’ top priorities. At Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation, there are no cookie cutter plans. With so many different services available in one facility, there are a number of possibilities and different combinations of treatments that can be customized to each patient. While these doctors do see many patients who receive injections to postpone painful knee surgery, some patients may benefit more from Cold Laser Therapy combined with physical therapy, or maybe acupuncture or vibration therapy. There are a number of possibilities and no one single solution to cure all knee pain. So what’s the solution? Start with a consultation with one of these skilled medical professionals. Sit down with one of the doctors to determine exactly which approach would be the most effective in your case. Take advantage of this special offer for Asbury Park Press Readers: FREE initial consultations ($245 value) for the first 17 people who call!
Knee Pain Solution: Combining Time-Tested Injections with New Technologies So many people who have been experiencing knee pain have sought out treatment before. Whether they tried a round of injections, painkillers, or saw a doctor and were told surgery is necessary, many people suffering from knee pain feel like they’ve tried everything. There have been many patients who have called Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation saying that they’ve exhausted all their options, but they may as well see if these therapies will help. They come in hopeless, and many end up having more success than ever before! So, what is it that makes this facility special? It’s bringing together all the individual working pieces to provide the well-rounded, all-encompassing treatment that delivers results. Patients can get multiple treatments all under one roof. Beyond that, the doctors at Monmouth Pain take the time to explain your condition and your treatment so that patients can understand what is going on. Why don’t you come see for yourself – call now to claim your FREE consultation ($245 value), available only to the first 17 callers. 732-345-1377 WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE LIKE? Acupuncture sessions take place in a relaxing setting. A Licensed Acupuncturist will insert tiny needles into incredibly precise points of the body, sending signals to the brain to release neurotransmitters that reduce feelings of pain. These tiny pricks that most patients can hardly feel are awakening your body’s innate ability to relieve pain –all while you get to sit back and relax. Osteoarthritis patients who receive acupuncture regularly may see noticeable improvements in levels of pain and functionality. Acupuncture is especially effective when combined with other treatment methods and may even improve the effects of physical therapy and other modalities.

For patients, hearing aids can be financed interest free for 24 months, and Dr. Kirsh’s practice provides free battery replacements for life. Patients can also return a hearing aid during a 75 day trial period, during which time they return to Garden State Hearing &

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Grown-Ups And Kids Alike Will Love These Simple Yet Sophisticated Treats For Any Party By Wolfgang Puck CHOCOLATE-DIPPED ORANGE CREAMS Makes 33 to 35 candies 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/3 cup (80 ml) light corn syrup 1 1/2 teaspoons orange oil or orange extract 4 cups (950 ml) confectioners’ sugar, sifted, plus extra as need about 4 ounces (115 g) bittersweet or milk chocolate, finely chopped In the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with beaters, or using a large mixing bowl and a handheld electric mixer, combine the butter, corn syrup and orange oil or extract, beating at medium speed until smooth and creamy. Reduce the speed to low and, 2 cups (about 500 ml) at a time, gradually add the sugar, beating just until the mixture starts to come together. Lightly sprinkle a clean work surface with confectioners’ sugar. Remove the mixture from the bowl and, on the work surface, knead it with clean hands until it forms a smooth ball, adding a little more confectioners’sugar if it’s a bit sticky; but don’t add too much, because the mixture should stay creamy. With a rolling pin, roll out the filling into a circle about 8 inches (20 cm) across and 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and set aside to rest for 30 minutes, but do not refrigerate.
Place a sheet of waxed paper on a baking tray. With a 1-inch (2.5-cm) cookie cutter, cut out 27 or 28 rounds, arranging them on the tray. Gather up the scraps and reroll them into a circle 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick and cut out 6 or 7 more rounds, placing them on the tray. Meanwhile, temper the chocolate: Bring about 2 inches (5 cm) of water to a boil in the lower half of a double boiler or in a medium saucepan; then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Put 3 ounces (about 85 g) of the chocolate in the top half of the double boiler, or in a metal bowl big enough to rest atop the saucepan without its bottom touching the water. Do not cover the chocolate, and take care not to let the water in the bottom pan touch the pan or bowl containing the chocolate. Place a candy thermometer in the chocolate and melt the chocolate to a temperature of 115-120 F (46-48 C). Immediately remove the top pan of chocolate from the heat and add the reserved chocolate, stirring to combine and melt thoroughly and to cool the chocolate to 88-90°F (31-32 C) for semisweet chocolate or 84-88 F (28-31 C) for milk chocolate. Immediately begin dipping the orange creams: With a fork, lift a cream from the waxed paper, carefully dip the bottom half of it into the chocolate, and then lift it out and return it to the waxed paper. Repeat with the remaining creams. Do not remove the candies until the chocolate has set completely. Store at cool room temperature in an airtight container in single layers between sheets of waxed paper until serving.
