Residents Want To Use Their Land In Environmental Case
By Bob Vosseller HOWELL – The Mayor and Council heard the complex case of a property owner who is seeking to be utilize their land after years of conflict. During a recent council meeting, resident Jen n ifer Bond a rew
asked the governing body a series of pointed questions. “A large portion of my property was illegally taken by the township and now 10 years later after multiple communications with the town acknowledging their wrong doing this issue
has not been fixed. I am still without the ability to use the property which I have been left paying taxes on,” Bondarew said. She asked, “who is ultimately responsible for the lack of follow through, who has allowed this level of in-
competence to continue for more than 10 years? I am in the process of installing a pool and would like to know the exact date this will be fixed so construction can begin and who is taking ownership and accountability today to ensure that this gets
fixed.” “Starting tomorrow I want a daily e-mail concerning the progress of this by whomever is taking ownership of the issue,” Bondarew demanded. Township Attorney Joseph Clark reviewed (Land - See Page 9)

Looking Toward Shore’s Past, Future Hurricanes
By Patricia A. Miller OCEAN COUNTY - The ominous weather reports before Hurricane Sandy hit just before Halloween in October 2012 were not anything you’d want to hear. Neither were the police officers driving down our street warning us to leave before noon the following Monday. We had to sign paperwork that Friday night acknowledging that if we did not leave, the township was not responsible for anything that happened to us or to our home. We signed. We had never been ordered to leave our Bayville neighborhood before. We left. In the end, we couldn’t return home for seven months, until the house was repaired. Sandy was within 50 miles of the New Jersey coast before it hit in Brigantine as an extratropical cyclone. The storm peppered the Jersey Shore with hurricane-force winds, record low pressure, and a huge storm surge along the coast. “The storm becomes the worst hurricane to affect the state on record, killing 37 and causing nearly $30 billion in damages,” according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). “Widespread devastation is noted, particularly on Long Beach Island and the Barnegat Peninsula, where the Seaside Heights boardwalk collapses into the ocean.” Sandy took the most lives, compared to a storm in August 1806 storm, which killed 21 residents. Governor Chris Christie said the losses caused by Sandy were “going to be almost incalculable...The devastation on the Jersey Shore is probably going to be the worst we’ve ever seen.” [3] And unfortunately, it looks like 2020 will be also be an active hurricane season. This year, again there will not be an El Nino to suppress Atlantic hurricane activity either, says NOAA. “NOAA’s analysis of current and seasonal atmospheric conditions reveals a recipe for an active Atlantic hurricane season this year,” said Neil Jacobs, acting NOAA administrator. “Our (Hurricane - See Page 6)

It is about life management and office management, how to succeed in whatever your definition of that might be and how to give the best patient care you can,” Ornstein said. He noted the importance of making
everyone feel important which is why he put his cell phone number on his business card and he often calls patients to see how they are doing after an appointment. He has a personal mission statement, “every day is an opportunity to create miles of smiles and I trademarked ‘Life Just Gets Better.’” His love for “The Wizard of Oz” reaches back to when a patient once gave him a decorative plate which he put on his office wall. “I put a little bit out there and everyone loved it. One of my goals when a patient comes into the office is to take them away from the medical environment and to make them feel like they were home in their own living room. It really makes them feel good.” Patients walk into the office and are immediately transpor ted to Oz with

a ceiling painting of a rainbow and a sign at the entranceway to examination rooms declares you are “not in Kansas anymore.” Ornstein is well known by not only the community but the medical field that includes over 15,000 podiatrists. He received one of the highest awards in the profession and once met the Dalai Lama. He’s been profiled for his philosophy of positive thinking as well as his association with “The Wizard of Oz.” He’s also an honorary member of the Southern Fire Department. “The strongest foundation in my life is my wife Anna. My two boys Tyler and Zach, their emotional intelligence is unbelievable. They both wanted to be doctors until they took science and then they said no way we’re not doing it,” Ornstein said. Front Office Manager Paula Demarco has been with Dr. Ornstein for 13 years and she recalled the transformation of the office to have a full theme of “The Wizard of Oz.” “We weren’t in this office. It was in the process of being remodeled and we got to see some of the transformation as it was going on and it looked really nice. The patients love to come into the office and see it but they really love him,” she added. “I never refer to the staff as employees they are my office team. I am very blessed to work with them,” Ornstein added. Chery Martinetti has been with Ornstein for 26 years and is one of his key

people. Most of his staff have been with him for a number of years. Five years ago, Ornstein grouped 28 doctors together and formed a group which is run at a different office across the street. He is the founder and president of the Institute of Podiatric Excellence and Development. “I refuse to take a dollar because it is what I do.” He helps those in other states form similar groups. “At least every other day other podiatrists contact me with questions about something. I love to mentor people young and old,” he added. Through his foundation he founded Yoga, Peace Kula also based in Howell four years ago which is a non-profit full functioning yoga studio. “We don’t charge people who can’t afford it.” Ornstein’s plate might seem full as but he’s not about to slow down. He has another goal in sight. “I have written hundreds of articles but what I want to talk about now is health and wellness for doctors. The amount of anxiety, suicide and dissatisfaction is prevalent. It is an epidemic.” The noted podiatrist’s hobbies include reading, life, pets which includes his own dog who is a frequent visitor to the Howell office. He has a “Wizard of Oz” collection in his own home and his favorite “Wizard of Oz” character is the Scarecrow. “He’s the one who really made all the decisions but he really just lacked confidence.” It’s clear that Ornstein identifies with that character as he enjoys instilling confidence in other professionals, patients and people in general.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
E DITORIAL If You Light Fireworks, Your Neighbors Hate You I used to like fireworks more when I was a kid. I remember watching them over the Toms River growing up. I remember firing bottle rockets out of my hands on a beach in North Carolina, in a massive firework fight with dozens of other tourist kids (Don’t try this at home). I still have a soft spot for parking my beach chair and watching from Route 9 or wherever I can get a spot. I also remember walking to the waterfront with my daughter, who was 4 at the time (Don’t try this at home, either). When I hear them echo near my house at night in the summer, it’s usually part of Berkeley’s summer concert and I smile a little bit. But when I’m going for a walk at night, and something randomly explodes over my head, that’s where I draw the line. When I’m doing some gardening just before dusk because that’s the only time it’s not blazingly hot out, and stuff is blowing up all over, that’s not fun. Every dog in the neighborhood goes nuts. If you’re a firework lover, you’re not an animal lover. Period. So far this season I think the latest I’ve heard a firework go off is 11:45 p.m. There’s been the occasional burnt bottle rocket that ends
up in my back yard. I have a lot of trees in my back yard, and ivy. So far, I’ve been lucky. But one of these times, someone isn’t going to be lucky. One of these times, a firework will go off wrong, and really hurt someone. Or land in a gutter full of leaves. Or hit a kid watching from one yard over. Sure, the average person is doing it right, you might say. But here’s something else: The average person is an idiot. When I’m driving, I drive defensively. I don’t assume that someone is going to stop at a stop sign. My foot hovers over my brake, just in case the other driver isn’t paying attention. Mistakes happen. We all know how congested this area is. Most of us have homes right on top of each other. Most of us have a neighbor to either side, one behind, and two at the corners. That’s five different places a firecracker can end up if they’re fired off in the wrong way. I’ll also never understand why people celebrate our nation’s veterans by blowing things up and setting off their PTSD. Please, leave it to the professionals. Chris Lundy News Editor

Federal Government Failed Our Vets The US Department of Veterans Affairs has failed t he veter a n s of Ocea n County, but it didn’t have to be this way. If the VA had kept its promise to deliver for our veterans, there would be a new veterans health care facility befitting of the service and sacrifice of those who wore the uniform. Instead, we have seen delays and disappointment, excuses and a continuation of a status quo that is simply unacceptable. The current James J. Howard Veterans’ Outpatient Clinic based in Brick was built in 1991. It was built to serve a veteran population of nearly 5,000. In the years since, the veteran population reliant on that facility for health care has more than doubled. Thousands more line up to see health care providers, but the number of providers hasn’t kept pace, especially for the care it provides to our women veterans. Thousands more drive to the facility looking for parking, but the VA has failed to expand parking capacity, forcing disabled and older veterans to walk an unsafe road to seek treatment. And thousands more seek expanded care that the current, dated facility, simply cannot provide. In 2014, Congress authorized a lease project in
Letters The Editor Ocean County for aTo new New Jersey pressed the VA 101.5. It seems to me that CBOC as part of the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act. This provided the authorization and funding to allow the VA to build a larger, more moder n facility for our veterans. After promises of progress, that process was halted in the spring of 2018, when the VA decided to hit the restart button, delaying the expanded care our veterans need. At the time, the VA said that restar ting the process would result in “increase[d] competition and lower costs” and would be done “in line with VA’s new business practices” to “ensure alignment with the cu r rent VA healthcare model.” At face value, these things make sense. We were told in January 2019 that a decision on the location of the new facility would be made by the end of September of that same year. That date came and went until fi nally last month, we were told the VA was going back to square one; New Jersey’s veterans shouldn’t expect a new facility until at least 2024. That’s a decade after this process was started. This decision blindsided us. Congressman Kim had toured the VA twice, met regularly with VA officials and his office was in monthly touch with the VA for updates. After this decision was made, congressional and veteran leaders across

to provide immediate answers and action; instead, we received insufficient excuses that did nothing to further the cause of providing better care for our veterans. At the end of the day, as elected officials and veteran leaders, providing better care for our veterans is our top priority. It should be the top priority for officials at the VA as well, and they have a moment to make this right. To serve the nearly 12,000 veteran patients who rely on t he CBOC, t he VA should fully staff the current CBOC, and establish a mobile “Touch Point” clinic to meet veterans closer to home. They could be active partners in finding new solutions to the dangerous parking situation at the facility in Brick, working with local organizations and private-sector groups who are eager to help. And they can provide real transparency to veterans in our com munit y by meeting with veteran leaders in a public setting on a regular basis to provide updates on the procurement of a new site and other efforts to help our veterans. All of these things would be a step forward, and all of them are within the power of the VA to do immediately. We want the VA to succeed, simply because our veterans cannot afford them to fail. Success for our veterans is within reach; we only ask the VA to join us to make it a reality.

Jackson Mayor Is On A Power Trip This is in response to the article “Jackson Mayor Calls on Murphy to Resign Over Pandemic ‘Power Trip’” published by NJ
our mayor is on a power trip, all because he doesn’t like to be told ‘no.’ To say it’s only about the kids is ludicrous. If it truly was/is, he wouldn’t have gotten his panties in such a twist. Kids will be kids, and if they see each other on a field for the first time in several months, does he really think they’re going to follow proper social distancing? I don’t! Then to state he’s mad because he’s been disrespected is outrageous. Being told no is not being disrespected. Referring to the crisis as a “pandemic thing,” tells me he doesn’t get it. A virus that has killed thousands isn’t just a thing; it’s a tragedy of epic proportions that has changed the world. Furthermore, calling the park “my park,” couldn’t be further from the truth; it’s the people’s park. Allowing kids to play sports in the park, in direct violation of the governor’s order, will open Jackson up to yet another lawsuit, one from the state. Seems to me that is direct disrespect of the gover nor. Do we really need to worry about another lawsuit? Haven’t we had enough? Also, unless he’s got absolute proof that our governor is personally to blame for the COVID-19 deaths in veterans facilities, he should never say that he is. I’m all for honoring our veterans, but restrictions are in place for a reason, and we could hold a special parade at a later date. We are all frustrated, but acting like a spoiled bully is not the way to handle it. We need to work and come together, being there for one another, as best we can. None of us has ever had to deal with anything like this in our lifetime. If you don’t agree with the governor’s handling of it, offer up a better solution if you can. Don’t go on the attack. I, for one, intend to remember this, come November. Stephanie Brown Jackson

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Local Businesses Need Help While Reopening From The Desk Of The
Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone I hope ever yone took advantage of the beautiful weather and visited our beaches and restaurants in Monmouth County! I would like to remind everyone to remain diligent in adhering to the social distancing and safety guidelines implemented
by the State. O u r r e s t au r a nt s a nd retailers – especially seasonal – depend on strong summer weekends to keep their staff employed and businesses open. It’s more important now than ever to suppor t t hem wh ile remaining safe.
While I am happy to see more businesses reopen this week, they are still badly hurting. Our small business community has taken a drastic hit and to not allow them to reopen to a full capacity at this time is forcing business owners to make the tough decision on whether or not they need to close for good. To try to assist our small business community, last we ek my fel low Fr e e holders and I announced that the County will allocate $10 million from
the CA R ES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security) Act to supplement the Community Development Block Grant - Coronavirus (CDBG - C V ). T he f u nd i ng will be utilized to provide grants of up to $10,000 to businesses with up to 50 employees. My fellow Freeholders and I realized that the $1.59 million f rom the Community Development Block Grant for COVID would not provide sufficient funds to reach all small businesses in the
County due to restrictions and guidelines put in place by the federal government and HUD. The Board unanimously passed the resolution to share supplemental funds from the CARES Act to the Monmouth County small businesses and nonprofits to provide them with relief during this pandemic. Throughout this pandemic in Monmouth County, countless residents have filed for unemployment and small businesses have shut their doors. These grant dollars will help support and recover our County
economy as we continue to curb COVID-19 in the United States. We are working diligently to finalize all the details and the application process and anticipate having the details confi rmed by July 15th. Any small business owner or non-profit who reaches out to the County will be contacted directly when more information is available. More information on the CDBG-CV will be made available in the coming weeks on visitmonmouth. com.
Supreme Court Smith’s 2003 Human Trafficking Amendment To HIV/AIDS Initiative From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) welcomed the United States Supreme Court ruling in USAID v. Alliance for Open Society upholding a key amendment he wrote in 2003 to the United States Leadership Against HIV/ AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act that provides federal funding to foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) provided
they have a policy explicitly opposing sex trafficking and prostitution. Smith said it is a major victory in the struggle against HIV, for human rights and the fight against sex trafficking. “No one supports the exemplary work of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDs Relief (PEPFAR) more than me. I pushed hard for the law’s enactment in 2003,”
he said. According to the Court’s opinion, the Leadership Act has helped save an estimated 17 million lives, primarily in Africa, and is widely viewed as the most successful American foreign aid program since the Marshall Plan. Smith pointed out that in December 2018, he authored the law authorizing $30 billion over five years for this life-saving law. “Who we fund - not just what - matters a great deal. It would be wrong for the United States to fund or facilitate the exploitation of women through sex trafficking and prostitution.
Howell Heritage And Historical Society Asks: “Who Are The Questers?”
HOWELL – Members of the Howell Heritage and Historical Society will host a speaker who will answer the question “Who are the Questers? During their next meeting at 7 p.m. on July 24 at the Ardena Baptist Church Hall,
Adelphia Rd., HHHS will feature Virginia Woolley. Masks and social distancing will be observed; restrooms will not be available. Everyone is invited to attend and light refreshments will be served.
U.S. taxpayers should not be coerced into funding the traffickers who degrade and commit unspeakable acts of violence against women and children,” he added. The Supreme Court decision notes that foreign NGOs possess no First Amendment rights that could be violated by this requirement - even if they are affiliated with a U.S. based NGO. Justice Kavanaugh delivered the opinion of the Court which said in part, “As relevant here, Congress sought to fund only those organizations that have, or agree to have, a “policy explicitly opposing prostitution and sex trafficking.” §7631(f
); see also §7631(e); 45 CFR §89.1 (2019). Justice Kavanaugh added: “Congress imposed that condition on funding known as the Policy Requirement, because Congress found that prostitution and sex trafficking “are additional causes of and factors in the spread of the HIV/AIDS epidemic” and that prostitution and sex trafficking “are degrading to women and children.” Justice Kavanaugh also wrote “In 2003, Congress passed and President George W. Bush signed the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act, known as the Leadership Act. 117 Stat.
711, as amended, 22 U. S. C. §7601 et seq. Aiming to enhance America’s response to the ravages of the global HIV/AIDS crisis, the Leadership Act launched “the largest international public health program of its kind ever created.” §7601(29). The Act has helped save an estimated 17 million lives, primarily in Africa, and is widely viewed as the most successful American foreign aid program since the Marshall Plan. To advance the global relief effort, Congress has allocated billions of dollars to American and foreign nongovernmental organizations that combat HIV/AIDS abroad.”

Hurricane:
Continued From Page 1 skilled forecasters, coupled with upgrades to our computer models and observing technologies, will provide accurate and timely forecasts to protect life and property.” The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June 1st to Nov. 30. New Jersey’s tropical storm activity occurs between August and late October. Sandy pummeled New Jersey on Oct. 30, 2012. Warmer than usual sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, reduced vertical wind shear, weaker tropical Atlantic trade winds and an enhanced west African monsoon season all increase the chances of an above-normal 2020 hurricane season. A hurricane is a huge storm that can be up to 600 miles across and have strong winds spiraling inward and upward at speeds of 75 to 200 mph. They can be life-threatening as well as cause serious property-threatening hazards such as flooding, storm surge, high winds and tornadoes. So what were some of the worst hurricanes and storms to batter the Jersey Shore? The Perfect Storm - Oct. 31, 1991 - The 1991 Halloween Nor’easter brought massive waves of up to 30 feet. High tides along the Jersey Shore were only surpassed by those of the 1944 hurricane. Significant bay flooding occurred. Strong waves and in-

tense winds caused extreme beach erosion. In all, damage amounted to $90 million (1991 USD), though no deaths occurred in the state. The Great Atlantic Hurricane - September 1944 - Destroyed hundreds of homes, did major damage to Long Beach Island, Ocean City, Atlantic City and Cape May. Bridges in some towns were destroyed. Hurricane Donna - September 1960 - The nor’easter brought 100 mph winds and 5 to 6 inches of rain in New Jersey. Nine people died in the state. The name “Donna” will never be used again for a hurricane because of the severity of the storm. The hurricane produced 105 mph (169 km/h) wind gusts and a storm surge of 6 feet (2 m) near Atlantic City, and 8.99 in (228 mm) of rainfall near Hammonton,.[26][37] One person died related to a heart attack during the storm.[1] The Storm of March 1962 - Also known as the Great Storm of the Jersey Shore and the Ash Wednesday Storm. The late James J. Mancini - longtime mayor of Long Beach Township for decades and an Ocean County Freeholder - considered the March 1962 storm the worst on Long Beach Island. Six hundred homes on Long Beach Island were lost. Seven people died, including Long Beach Township Police Chief Angelo J. Leonetti, Township Police Commissioner Kenneth G. Chipman, First Aider Robert Osborn and two elderly couples.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
C LUB N EWS , A CTIVITIES , E VENTS & A NNOUNCEMENTS
Life: A New Normal
Dear Joel, Now that things are beginning to open -up in NJ I would like for my wife and I to start venturing out to restaurants, socialize with friends, and go retail shopping. My wife on the other hand is still extremely concerned about leaving the house and being around other people. I respect her feelings but at the same time my cabin fever is almost unbearable. I have socialized with a few of my guy friends which caused such anxiety for my wife, that it’s almost not worth doing. I am beginning to worry that she will never leave our house for anything more than the essentials. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can help her to begin the ‘re-entry’ process into life outside our four walls? Answer: With the mixed messages we’ve received from the media, and the continuing rise in cases around the country, your wife’s fears are understandable. However, we need to accept the fact that
COMMUNITY NEWS
COVID-19 is something we may have to live with for quite some time. Remind her that with the proper protection and practices, such as avoiding large crowds and closed spaces, we can still enjoy life. Businesses of all types recognize that customers are anxious and have made the necessary accommodations. Try small trips to quiet places, dining outside at off-peak hours, even a drive-in movie. Perhaps a short visit to a friend’s backyard will help her regain the confidence to get back out there. Above all, have patience, this is a different experience for everyone. Thank you for writing.

Continued From Page 1 the history of the issue saying, “Years ago the township had an ordinance that set up 300-foot conservation easements in certain areas. The Bondarews owned a piece of property where that was done.” Clark added, “the ordinance was challenged in court by two separate parties and each of them won. The Bondarews were not one of those parties so the ordinance was amended and at the time then because the ordinance no longer existed, they wanted to adjust the size of the easement and understandably so.” “The mindset of the township is that they might have to go to court because when it is a conservation easement or an easement that is for the public good, typically you go into chancellery court. You sue the town and then the court will appoint an attorney to represent the public good,” Clark said. “That is one option and it is extremely expensive,” Clark said. In his legal research Clark said he found a case that showed that if the public good is not specifically mentioned in the easement then there is a little more “wiggle room and instead of going to court you can go to the planning board.” Clark felt the Planning Board might be able to redraw the easement boundary because the case in question did not include the words “public good.” “My interpretation of it was maybe they don’t have to go to court and the time and expense,” he said. In May of 2018 he communicated this to the Bondarews’ attorney and advised them to make an application with the Planning Board. But the couple did not make an application. “Because we had opened Green Acres grants and conservation easements were created and the DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) considered them ROSIs (Recreational
Manasquan River Regional Sewage Authority To Hold Public Hearing FARMINGDALE – The Manasquan River Regional Sewage Authority will hold a public hearing on its proposed 2020-2021 connection fee rate. The hearing will be held at 5:30 p.m. on July 15 at the headquarters of the Authority at 89 Havens Bridge Rd. Farmingdale. All interested parties who wish to be heard at the hearing are requested to notify the Authority of their names and addresses as well as any organization or body they represent. Formal action may be taken by the Authority at this hearing.
Correction
In the July 4 story “New Safety Rules As Salons, Barbershops Reopen,” the owner of Lorraine’s Barbershop was spelled incorrectly. It is Lorraine Kaminski. We regret the error.
The Howell Times, July 11, 2020, Page 9 Open Space Inventory). What this means is that in order to pull acreage off the ROSI we’d have to go through a complex diversion process,” Clark explained. This would mean applying to the DEP and the State for approval and not necessarily getting approval. “It is very infrequent that this happens and if it was to happen we would have to essentially swap inland at a ratio of, say we were to pull an acre out we would have to designate anywhere to two up to 40 acres
of township property as going on the ROSI to substitute for that,” Clark said. Clark said that was because the Bondarews hadn’t gone to the planning board to have the easement boundary lines adjusted at the time he reached out to their attorney. “Now we have an issue. It won’t be as easy as going to the planning board because they would have to go through the diversion process,” Clark added. Clark said that the situation went to Trenton
in February before representatives of the DEP Green Acres program. He added the township had heard back from Jessica Patterson of the DEP who said she would reach out to her agency’s inhouse attorneys to see what the status of it was. “We are hoping that the DEP will allow us to forgo the diversion process and simply have the Bondarews go to the planning board which they didn’t do in 2018 and avoid a lot of headaches and costs.”

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE People Who Stutter to Find Help Through New Support Group MONMOUTH COUNTY - The newly-established Monmouth County Chapter of the National Stuttering Association will hold an information session online for teenagers and adults who stutter at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 23. The one-hour session, which will explain the role of this new local self-help support group, also will be open to family members and friends, speech-language pathologists and others who want to learn more about the organization and stuttering. Founded in 1977, the National Stuttering Association (NSA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing hope and empowerment to adults and children who stutter, their families, and speech professionals through support, education, advocacy, and research. One of the most important aspects of the group is its network of nearly 200 local chapters across the United States through which more than 2,500 people each month discuss life, stuttering, and how best to cope with their disfluency. In New Jersey, other chapters meet in Galloway, Hillside, Mullica Hill and Stratford. “I’m thrilled that the National Stuttering Association has decided to add a chapter
in Monmouth County, New Jersey,” said Joanne Summer, a Manasquan-based speech-language pathologist who will lead the new chapter. “I’ve seen how effective the NSA has been in helping people who stutter through its chapter meetings, annual conference and other incredible educational and networking programs. It’s great to see that a longstanding void in its chapter network here in Monmouth County is finally being filled.” After spending 12 years treating children with speech and language disorders in the New Jersey public school system, Ms. Summer has been in private practice the past six years. She has received extensive training in stuttering and other fluency issues through The Stuttering Foundation and other programs and has served as a board member for state and county speech-language and hearing associations. To sign up and obtain instructions for participating in the upcoming online information session, send an email with your name and phone number to Ms. Summer at joannesummer2@gmail.com. More information on the NSA and stuttering can be found at WeStutter.org.

The Four Best Natural Antihistamines By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
This time of year, causes a lot of grief for people who have allergies. Of course, we have terrific antihistamines now, and you can buy nationwide. I am not opposed to the antihistamines though, if you take them in moderation. But you should also lower your histamine burden through diet. Did you know you could do that? Many people do not realize that the foods they’re eating contribute to the histamine they liberate in their body. It can ultimately cause or contribute to an existing autoimmune condition. For a free food guide on histamine, visit suzycohen. com/hashi. Here are the 4 best natural antihistamines: • Ginger is not only a histamine blocker, but is also great for your levels of cytokines, and immune function. Ginger is probably best known for its ability to ward off nausea, and soothe stomach aches, however, another important medicinal component of ginger fights inflammation in the bones and joints. Ginger is easy to use and fast acting. Shave off the skin of a piece of raw ginger root. Cut a half-inch piece off and slice it, then simmer in 3 to 4 cups of water for about 15 minutes. Adding lemon will boost antioxidant power. • Vitamin C. This is a natural immune supplement, and deficiencies are known to increase risk of allergies. It can also make collagen which is needed for a healthy immune response, and shortening the duration and/or severity of discomfort. You’ll find vitamin C naturally in citrus fruits, kiwi, bell peppers and squash. As
for the type of Vitamin C, if you’re using more than say, 100mg per day of C, I’d recommend a naturally derived type of supplement with citrus bioflavonoids which would offer the C from a food or fruit (like an orange, cherries or lemons). Synthesized C from corn is shown on labels as “ascorbic acid.” • Quercetin. Quercetin is a naturally-occurring antioxidant found in many fruits, grapes, tea and especially capers! A lot of scientific research suggests that having quercetin in your diet relieves allergy symptoms because this compound stabilizes mast cells. As a perk, quercetin can improve mood due to the gentle lift in your dopamine and downline catecholamine neurotransmitters. Do not take more than your supplement label advises because toxic amounts of quercetin can lead to temporary neuropathy and headaches. DHQ is short for dihydroquercetin and is a biologically available antioxidant very similar to quercetin. • Thyme. This fresh-tasting herb contains a lot of vitamin C as well as thymol, its major active medicinal component. Thymol has properties that block histamine release from mast cells, and can block it at the receptor site. Buy fresh sprigs of thyme at the grocery store, and include a few leaves in your recipes from now on. You can also buy pure essential oil of thyme and have them apply it to your pedicure oil during massage, or you can diffuse it in the air. Some high-quality brands can be taken internally in a capsule. If you are allergic to oregano, you may also be cross-sensitive to thyme.

Inside The Law Injured At Work?! Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits! By: Christopher R. Shea, Esq.and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates 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 prot e ct s employees from 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.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of july 11 - july 17
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): YMake the most of your spare time. Use it to be constructive and diligent, as free time may come at a premium later in the week. Prioritize responsibilities to be sure to get things done. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): You may have an urge to walk on the wild side, but some minor changes may be all it takes to relieve apathy or boredom. Stay with what has been proven good for you and don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Go all in or don’t go at all. You will enjoy activities more if you fully commit to being a part of the festivities rather than hesitating to become involved. Overthinking a problem might make it seem more diďŹƒcult. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Believe it when you see it. Do not rely on promises or assurances from someone until you have concrete evidence in front of you. You will fare better when you do not seek outside help for your projects. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. Point someone in the right direction but don’t bend over backward or try to force the issue if they are not ready. Rely on your own skills to succeed. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There is a time and place for everything. Make sure of this through the careful planning of your schedule for the coming week. Too much spontaneity could use up needed time and leave you struggling to catch up.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Build a strong foundation. Your judgment may be slightly off today, so get information and advice from as many sources as possible. Friendships should stand on their own and not be subject to conditions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Remember that it’s often the thought that counts. Be gracious when someone offers a token of esteem, even if it’s something you do not really care to receive. Don’t let the heat of competition make your temper boil. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Let your imagination run wild. Daydreaming about excitement and adventure can be the next best thing to being there. Show that you really mean business when the workweek begins. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be setting the bar too high. Ideals are for you to strive for; if you hold others to impossible expectations, it creates disappointment on both sides. Accept others for who they are and don’t be judgmental. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Winning isn’t everything. You shouldn’t get so caught up in competing that you forget to enjoy yourself and others. Concentrate on friendship and fun and don’t worry about who is the best. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Make tea for two. Give a special someone your undivided attention this Sunday and find something to do that you can both enjoy. Have it your way today, as free time could be scarce in the week ahead.
