OFFICIALS TRY TO STOP POP-UP PARTIES By Chris Lundy J ER SEY SHOR E – Local and regional gover n ments are t r ying to minimize the damage caused by pop-up parties. Pop-up parties are a relatively recent phenomenon. They are advertised on social media. People usual-
ly pay to get in, and t here is somet i mes profe ssion al e nt e rtainment, like a DJ. The local authorities aren’t made aware of the event unless a resident finds out about it beforehand. Sometimes, these take place in public areas like boardwalks
or pa rk s. More often, they are in rental homes. In these cases, entire residential neig hb or ho o d s b e come drowned in traffic. Partygoers spill out of the home and wander drunk or high to other properties. Several state lawmakers are looking
for solutions. “The Jersey Shore h a s a lway s b e e n a welcoming place for v i sit o r s , bu t m a ny small towns are not equipped to handle thousands of teenagers who suddenly pour off trains and f lood their streets, boardwalks, and commer-
cial districts for popup parties organized o n s o c i a l m e d i a ,” said Senator Robert Singer (R-30 th). “We saw what happened in Long Branch a few weeks ago when 5,0 0 0 teens a nd young adults suddenly showed up in Pier (Pop-Up - See Page 5)

New Bill Would Help Disabled Vets By Chris Lundy BERKELEY - If a veteran is 100% disa ble d , t hey do not have to pay property taxes by state law. But what about those who are disabled, but not 100% disabled? Senate bill 522 (accompanied by Assembly bill 888) would allow veterans who are at least 30% disabled to benefit from this policy. T hei r prop erty taxes would go down by 30% in this example. Berkeley resident Sam Cammarato spoke to the governing body at a recent Tow n s h i p C o u n c i l meeting about the bill t hat would prov ide proportional disabled tax relief. He was hoping that they would support the bill, which they did. Councilman James By r ne s , a vet e r a n , said that even if the vet is 100% disabled, and they dip into their IR A, that could put them over the threshold. They’ll face the f ull bu rden of t a xe s a n d h ave t o go through the Veterans Administration again. Accord i ng to t he s t at e me nt ex pl a i n ing the bill, it grants a p r o p e r t y t a x exemption to honorably discharged veterans having a service-connected disability in propor t ion to t hei r disability percentage rat i ng. A 50% d is-
abled veteran would pay 50% less property t axes, for example. The exemption is only granted to those with a disability percentage rating of at least 30 percent, and the exemption is capped at $10,000. If a veteran has a 100 percent disability percentage rating, nothing would change for them. They would still be allowed a 100 percent property tax exe m pt ion w it hout a cap. In addition, the bill grants those honorably discharged veterans having less than a 10 0 p e r c e nt s e rvice-connected disability, but who are unemployable, a 100 percent property tax exemption. The bill also eliminates all references to medical conditions so that any service-connected disability, as d e t e r m i n e d by t h e Un it e d St a t e s D e partment of Veterans’ Affairs, will make a veteran eligible for the property tax exemption. Reimburse Towns It’s state law that disabled veterans don’t pay proper t y taxes. However, t hat put s towns in a predicament. The towns have fewer proper ties to tax, which means the burden is then shifted to the rest of the (Vets - See Page 6)

Pop-Up:
Continued From Page 1 Village. People were jumping on cars, fighting, and openly smoking pot and drinking in public. The local police had an extremely difficult time trying to restore order. Most shore towns looked at what happened in Long Branch and are hoping they’re not next, but hope isn’t a plan.” Singer called for Gover nor Mur phy and the Attor ney General’s off ice to create a task force to prevent similar occur rences in the future. The task force he proposed would include par ticipation f rom the New Jersey State Police, NJ Transit, the Monmouth and Ocean County prosecutors’ off ices, sheriffs’ off ices, and police chiefs’ associations. “There needs to be better coordination among state and local off icials to respond to pop-up parties along with some sor t of f unding mechanism to help pay for the unexpected cost of calling in ext ra police to respond,” said Singer. “There also needs to be a real d iscu ssion about f i x i ng ou r laws which prevent police from taking enforcement action for violations committed by minors. Kids know they can’t be touched and they’re taking advantage of it.” Some of t hese pr ivate homes a re owned by businesses or landlords who live far away. It is sometimes difficult
The Berkeley Times, June 25, 2022, Page 5 to f ind out who is responsible. A bill sponsored by Senator Sam T h o m p s o n ( R-12 t h ) wo u ld m a ke it easier for mu n icipalit ies to pu rsue rental proper ty owners for building code violations. “So many rental units in our neighborhoods are being purchased by shell cor porations that exist only on paper. W hen there are violations or other problems, mu nicipal off icials don’t know where to tur n to get the issues resolved,” he said. Specif ically, the bill would require LLCs to d isclose t he na mes of t he company’s registered agent when recording deeds for homes with as many as four dwelling units. “This would lift the veil of anonymity from limited liability companies that own residential property,” Thompson said. “When these cor porations f ile a property deed with the local gover nment, they would now have to identify the name of a responsible party.” The 10th District Legislators sponsored a bill t hat would expa nd t he def inition of a riot to include pop-up parties and enhance the penalties for crimes committed during them. “The events in Long Branch were a clear picture that local law enforcement needed reinforcements to control a crowd of that size,” said Senator Jim Holzapfel. “Underage drin king, vandalism and dr ug use were all on display with ver y little consequences to those in attendance. We have heard
from countless residents and business owners who fear for their safety.” “We stand with our local mayors and public officials and call on our Governor to properly equip our small shore municipalities with the resources they need to protect the general public,” said Assemblyman McGuckin. “There is no reason that any town should have such inf lux of teens and young adults looking for a good time, especially, if they are promoting this event via social media.” “This has become a serious public safety issue where all levels of government need to be involved to protect our residents. Riots, such as the one we saw in Long Branch, will continue to have a ripple effect on the tourism industry at the Jersey Shore,” added Assemblyman Joh n Catalano. “Residents and vacationers will fear for their safety on our boardwalks and beaches and the business owners will suffer the consequences unless our Governor steps up and addresses this issue head on.” One option municipalities have is creating a curfew. For example, Toms River recently enacted one for the North Beach and Or tley Beach sections of town, which are on the barrier island. The curfew went into effect on June 13, and will last until September 30. Anyone 17 or younger who is outdoors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian from 11 p.m. through 5 a.m. T he r e a r e exc e pt ion s t o t h i s r u le, which include medical emergencies,

jobs, private gatherings, and religious or educational functions. The minors can be out alone if they are running an errand for a parent or guardian. If caught violating the curfew, the child could be charged with a disorderly person’s offense, and would be subject to penalties imposed by the municipal court. This was in response to complaints by residents of “unr uly behavior by juveniles” during the Memorial Day weekend, officials said. “The curfews worked well in 2020 and 2021,” said Mayor Maurice B. “Mo” Hill. “We had few if any disturbances during those seasons and we do not want a repeat of what happened during the Memorial Day weekend this year. With the th reat of ‘pop -up’ par ties being promoted on social media, we need to give our police off icers the authority to maintain the peace in our family friendly beach communities.” T he cu r few is enacted u nder t he authority of Governor Phil Murphy’s Executive Order No. 103 issued on March 9, 2020. “The goal and focus of this curfew is not to target children enjoying their time at the shore, but rather to address the destructive behavior we have experienced on both public and private property with large groups of juveniles. It is our responsibility to preserve the quality of life in our beach communities for everyone,” said Police Chief Mitch Little.

Continued From Page 1 $20,000, she said. Once they surpassed that, their goal was increased and they met the new goal as well. All in all, they brought in about $42,000, which is a strong showing. T he f u nd r a isi ng go e s t owa rd t he American Cancer Society, which has donated more than $5 billion to cancer
research since 1946. “It was one of our smaller events. We only had seven or eight teams, but these teams were there for the absolute best reasons. It was probably one of my favorite relays,” Stephens said. The same hallmarks of previous years took place again: the su r vivor lu ncheon, a survivor lap, and a caregiver lap. At night, almost 400 luminarias were placed around the track. These
bags are decorated in memor y of a loved one and given a battery-powered light, breaking up the darkness. Last year, the event was supposed to be held in the summer, but COVID numbers were too high so it got pushed to the fall. But in fall, the numbers were still high in the county so the group changed the walk to a drive-by celebration. The fundraiser is 100% outside, and

social distancing is possible. However, the event brings together cancer survivors who are high risk if they got sick. It also has caregivers who could potentially expose cancer patients. Other relays have been held recently in Brick, New Egypt, and Howell. The Last Relay? The Berkeley-Lacey Relay for Life might be on its last lap. Stephens said this is her last time leading the event. It takes a lot of volunteer help to organize and run this, and without an inf lux of volunteers, she fears that this might be the end.

residents. Furthermore, a town collects your tax payment, but then doles it out to other entities, such as school boards and the county. The town still has to pay those other entities no matter how much taxes the town collects. Many local officials have been calling on the state to reimburse towns for the amount of taxes that are being waived for veterans. This bill would do such a thing. It would pay the towns for the amount that each veteran can’t pay, including administrative costs. Ocean County has a large population of seniors, and therefore more veterans than other areas. Towns like Berkeley and Manchester feel this the most. This creates an inequit y in tow ns where more veterans live. In the past, Mayor Carmen Amato has said “We support all of our veterans. It’s a great program. The state of New Jersey has a state mandate they are not funding.” To put it in perspective, in 2020, Berkeley had 279 properties that were exempt from taxation due to them being owned by a 100 percent disabled veteran. If you add the property values of all of these homes together, it amounts to $54,825,500. Multiplying this by the tax rate, 2.167, totals $1,188,068.59. This means that there is $1,188,068.59 that has to be raised by other residents. Berkeley would seek at least this amount from the state. On May 9, the 522 bill was referred to Senate Military and Veterans’ Affairs Committee.

Murphy Announces $2 Billion In Tax Relief From The Desk Of The
Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy, Senate President Scutari, and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin announced the expansion of the ANCHOR Tax Rel ief P rog r a m , m a k i ng t he rel ief prog ram one of the largest in state histor y. ANCHOR, which stands for Affordable New Jersey Communities for Home ow ne r s a nd Re nt e r s, wa s an nou nced by Gover nor Mu r phy in March as part of his Fiscal Year 2023 (FY2023) Budget Proposal. The expansion of the program will increase this investment from the nearly $900 million proposed in March to over $2 billion and will reduce property taxes for over 1.16 million homeowners and 900,000 renters beginning in FY2023. Under the expanded ANCHOR Property Tax Relief Program proposal, there will be a full phase-in of rebates and the benefits will be simplified: 8 70 , 0 0 0 - pl u s h o m e ow n e r s w i t h a household income of under $150,000 would receive a $1,500 property tax credit on their property tax bill each year 29 0 , 0 0 0 - pl u s h o m e ow n e r s w i t h a household income between $150,000
and $250,000 would receive a $1,000 property tax credit on their property tax bill each year 90 0,0 0 0 -plus renters with incomes up to $150,000 would receive $450 each year to help offset the rent increases caused by increasing property taxes “I am proud to stand alongside Speaker Coughlin to announce the delivery of $2 billion in direct property tax relief, which will provide over 2 million rebates to New Jersey households. This is a truly historic tax relief program for our state,” said Governor Murphy. “Today we take a step forward on this administration’s promise to make New Jersey a stronger, fairer, more affordable st ate for ou r middle- class and working families.” “It is extremely important to ensure that these programs are sustainable and any additional tax cuts and investments continue beyond this fiscal year and I know I have that commitment from the leaders to do that,” said Senate President Scutari. “W hile we’re announcing a two billion dollar program today, I continue to look forward to additional targeted programs helping middle-class taxpayers.” “ Ne w Je r s e y a n s n e e d t a x r el ief now,” said Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin. “It is my priority to enact the largest tax relief program in our state’s history and I am pleased that
our $2 billion ANCHOR program puts us on course to deliver the boldest and most robust affordability agenda for our working and middle-class families for years to come. With $1,500 and $1,000 in direct property tax rebates for homeowners and $450 for renters, more than two million New Jerseyans will see money back in their pockets – relief they will be able to count on into the future and relief that builds on the existing 14 tax cuts enacted since 2018, which together affirm our commitment to position all of New Jersey as a more affordable place to live. My thanks to Governor Murphy and Senate President Scutari for working with me to achieve this expanded plan.” The average New Jersey proper t y tax bill was approximately $9,300 in 2021. ANCHOR’s direct property tax relief rebates could offset over 16 percent of the average property tax bill in New Jersey for some homeowners. For a middle-class family receiving the $1,500 in direct relief, the average bill will effectively become $7,800, a property tax level New Jersey has not seen since 2012. “Helping people keep up with their bills and giving them more breathing room has never been more important than it is right now,” said Assemblyman Freiman. “Two billion dollars in direct property tax relief to New Jersey residents is monumental. Taxpayers will see the impact of this kind of investment on their property tax bill and in
their wallets.” “We are proud to stand with the Governor and Speaker Coughlin today for the an nou ncement of the A NCHOR Program,” said Assemblywoman Sadaf Jaffer. “We are all committed to ensuring that New Jersey is an affordable state to live and work in. Direct and t a ng ible prope r t y t a x rel ief is one important way we can make that goal a reality.” “I want to give credit where it is due, and to thank Governor Murphy, Senate President Scutari and Speaker Coughlin for coming together to recognize that many New Jersey residents are still struggling to make ends meet in the aftermath of the worst days of the COVID -19 pandemic,” said Senator Andrew Zwicker. “The ANCHOR program promises timely relief to millions of homeowners and renters, putting money back into their pockets, and helping to keep our state affordable, and our economy strong and competitive in both the short- and long-term.” T he A NC HOR p r og r a m ex p a nd s on and replaces the Homestead Rebate Program, which serves 470,000 homeowners annually and provides an average benefit of $628. Renters are not eligible for the current Homestead program, but ANCHOR recognizes that rents are often raised to offset rising property taxes. ANCHOR will make over four times more New Jerseyans eligible to receive a property tax rebate when compared with Homestead.

BLINDED BY THE NIGHT
The term night blindness is a bit misleading since people who have it are not suddenly unable to see anything when the sun goes down. The condition, also called “nyctalopia,” does cause difficulty in seeing properly in dim lighting, which can make people incapable of driving safely at night, but they are not blind. Night blindness makes it more difficult for a person’s eyes to adjust from bright lights, such as oncoming headlights or bright sunlight to dimness or darkness. This may be the result of nearsightedness, developing cataracts, genetic conditions like Usher syndrome or retinitis pigmentosa (dark pigment collecting on the retina), or a deficiency in vitamin A. Nyctalopia should not be ignored. SIGHTMD NEW JERSEY SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES offers comprehensive eye health evaluations and necessary follow-up care. A complete eye exam involves a series of tests designed to evaluate your vision and check for eye diseases. When you need to schedule an exam, please call 732-349-5622. We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma, dry eye syndrome, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, pediatric ophthalmology, and total eye care. We offer evening hours most nights of the week. P.S. Night blindness caused by nearsightedness, cataracts, or vitamin A deficiency can be treated, but those caused by genetic conditions cannot.

By Alyssa Riccardi JERSEY SHORE – New Jersey American Water has announced that over four miles of aging water main will be replaced in Neptune Township, Long Branch and Lakewood this month.

Hearing Loss Can Impact Cognition Research shows that hearing loss may lead to the rapid progression of cognitive decline. The evidence in the literature suggests that: • The slow onset of hearing loss can have a significant impact on several key brain functions, including the memory, hearing, speech and language portions of cognition. • Hearing impairment is a greater risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia than other individual mid-life risks. • The proactive management of hearing loss can delay or slow the onset or progression of cognitive decline. • Studies show the use of hearing aids can slow down the rapid progression of cognitive decline. Garden State Hearing & Balance Center is on the front line of promoting cognitive
health. We now offer a computerized test of cognitive function called Cognivue Thrive. This screening tool objectively and reliably identifies changes in cognitive function that could be indicative of an impairment that requires physician referral. In our opinion, driving brain health awareness and improving access to cognitive screenings are among the most important challenges of the 21st century. Although cognitive decline is a normal part of aging, early identification of underlying conditions such as untreated hearing loss will lead to appropriate management, thus improving cognitive health. If you would like to schedule a Cognivue Thrive screening, please feel free to contact our Toms River office at 732818-3610.

The Critical Metabolites That Impact Prostate Cancer By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Few words strike more fear than the word “cancer” and today’s article is devoted to helping you find out what critical metabolites should be evaluated. Prostate cancer is very common in the United States and was responsible for over 34,000 deaths in 2021. Early in the course of prostate cancer, before it’s even known, the growth of cancer cells is kept in check by natural, normal pathways in the body, usually those under the control of testosterone and related hormones known as androgens. These reproductive hormones deliver one signal to the prostate cancer cell telling them to “be fruitful and keep multiplying.” With continued replication, the cells pour out a protein called “prostate specific antigen” dubbed PSA. When the PSA levels are measured in a blood test, and seen as abnormal (above the normal reference range), the doctors worry this is a first sign of possible prostate cancer. Testing for PSA levels isn’t nearly enough. Neither is testing for testosterone levels, or DHT. There are so much more, and thankfully doctors can test you using urine “at home” test kits now. I offer these at my website too. But right now, what I’d like to do is make sure you’re fully armed with the knowledge of important (measurable) biomarkers that are often overlooked as there’s so much hyper focus on PSA and DHT and a few others. Overlooking any one of the following could lead to more complications and progression of cancer at a faster rate. Testing yourself
properly is important to your health and longevity. Vitamin B12. Too much B12 may produce problems, and it is unclear if this is from the resulting elevation of homocysteine or some other mechanism. Measuring levels is important. Glutathione. Higher levels of glutathione are protective and useful as an antioxidant. This is pretty simple because in prostate cancer patients, antioxidant defenses are low and DNA damage is high. Glutathione protects the cell because it’s an antioxidant. Melatonin. The famous sleep hormone has anti-cancer activity, and has been studied for its protective effect on the prostate gland. Did you know meditation raises levels? Testosterone. It is more the metabolites of testosterone, than the hormone itself. This is why urine metabolite testing is so important. Doing a spot check of testosterone in the morning via blood isn’t as informative unless you also have the metabolites from a urine test to compare with it. I recommend the DUTCH at-home test kit for this. Estrogen Metabolites. Men make estrogen as well as women, and it is the break down product (the metabolite) of testosterone! So, the more testosterone you make, the higher your estrogen levels… and if you’re breaking estrogen down badly, it raises risk for prostate problems. Urine testing via DUTCH can evaluate these metabolite levels, not blood testing.

Inside The Law Rights And Restrictions For An Executor To Use Estate Assets To Pay Counsel Fee
Marc S. Galella Esq.
By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates The death of a loved one is a tragic event. Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved one’s passing, disputes often arise as to the decedents Last Will and Testament. If such a dispute arises, it is important to understand how legal fees could impact the assets of the Estate. Once an Executor of an Estate is appointed and the Will is challenged, the Executor may use Estate assets to defend the challenge as long as the contesting party challenges the Will’s validity, interpretation, distribution, or a specific clause. The estate assets may be used to hire an attorney to defend the challenge of the Will. Legal fees incurred in defending the challenged Will, its contents, clauses, or distribution are not be the personal responsibility of the Executor. Instead, under such circumstances, the legal fees are payable from the Estate. However, when an Executor has to defend claims against non-probate assets, then the circumstances change and certain limitations apply. Probate assets consist of any asset that is owned solely by the decedent and are distributed to heirs by the court. Probate assets may include real property that is titled solely in the decedent’s name or held as a tenant in common; Personal property, such as jewelry, furniture, and automobiles; bank accounts that are solely in the decedent’s name; an interest in a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company; any life insurance policy or brokerage account that lists either the decedent or the estate as the beneficiary. A non-probate asset is as an asset which
does not “pass” through the decedent’s Estate, and bypasses the court process by transferring directly to the beneficiaries. Non-probate assets include property that is held in joint tenancy or as tenants by the entirety; bank or brokerage accounts held in joint tenancy or with payable on death (POD) or transfer on death (TOD) beneficiaries; property held in a trust; life insurance or brokerage accounts that list someone other than the decedent as the beneficiary; retirement accounts. If a party to a Will challenges the transfer of a non-probate asset, an Executor may be forbidden from utilizing Estate assets to defend against such a claim. When a transfer of non-probate assets benefits the Executor of the Estate to the exclusion of other beneficiaries, then the Executor will not be allowed to use the Estates assets to pay legal fees in defense of such a dispute. Should an Executor use the assets of the Estate to make such payments, then these assets may be payable back to the Estate by the Executor. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full-service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

New Home Market Flourishing in Seaside Heights
These new homes on Bay Boulevard are typical of those rising up in the new home construction boom in Seaside Heights. The construction and purchasing of newly constructed homes continues to f lourish, unabated, in Seaside Heights. According to Michael Loundy, the owner of Seaside Realty, people re-discovered Seaside Heights as a compact ocean and bayfront town with a desirable lifestyle a few years ago. The investment in new homes has accelerated since then. At any given time there are dozens of new homes under construction, with most sold before they are completed.
The homes are spotted throughout the town and are typically multi-story, at least three bedroom, and with a garage. There is a nationwide boom in real estate near the water and particularly the beach, but Seaside Heights is an exceptional location. Any house in Seaside Heights is only a short walk from the beach and Boardwalk and the Bayfront. That provides many recreation options for which people would have to travel a distance in another town.
Seaside Heights was born to be New Jersey’s foremost seaside resort. Whether you’re here for a day, a weekend, or a summer, you’ll find plenty to enjoy and create new memories. Mix and match for a great day. Splash in the sparkling waters. Breathe the fresh ocean air. Feel the sand between your toes and the sun refreshing your soul. Put your phone away and be energized by nature. Swim on a sizzling summer day. Stroll The Classic American Boardwalk.
Ride the Casino Pier and Breakwater Beach amusements. Tickle your taste buds with ice cream and other sweet treats. Unwind with a game of mini golf or arcade classics. Catch a fish, crab, wave, sunrise or sunset. Experience the excitement of arcade play. Boost your spirit with fireworks, beach concerts, and kite shows. Indulge yourself with classic boardwalk food. Or just sit back, relax, and take it all in.
Two Bayfront Areas Offer Loads of Enjoyment Options
Windsurfing is just one of the many relaxing recreation options that can be enjoyed at Seaside Heights’ Bayfront. Crabbing, kayaking, fishing, and wading in shallow water, plus availability of tasty food are among other potentials. Two bayfront recreation areas overlooking the beautiful Barnegat Bay are enjoyable features that people might tend to forget are part of the Seaside Heights experience. The town is one of the few on the Atlantic that is so compact that it is just a short walk from enjoying the ocean to delighting in the bay. The southern recreation area is on Rt. 35, south of Rt. 37, on the border of Seaside Park. This area features a dock for fishing and crabbing, as well as a livery operation that rents personal watercraft and pontoon boats. Dock Outfitters manages the southern area and offers a wellstocked tackle shop as well as a café that features
a second floor with bay views. Sunset Beach is north of Rt. 37 on the bayfront. This area provides a sandy beach with shallow water that is ideal for families with small children. The area also hosts a classic Stewart’s Root Beer, the Sunset Seafood restaurant, a boat launching ramp, kayak rentals, a dock for fishing and crabbing, and a livery operation that rents boats for fishing and crabbing. The beach is protected by lifeguards in season. No beach badge is required and parking is free. Sunset Beach is a popular place from which to enjoy beautiful sunsets. https://exit82.com/bayfront/

Ongoing transformation of Hooks on the Boulevard is emblematic of the evolutions underway in Seaside Heights. The outdoor dining area speaks to the movement of Hooks towards continuing to build on its theme of “coastal casual.” Seaside Heights is rapidly growing as the place to live, play, and invest. In the past year, a number of large parcels have been cleared for commercial redevelopment, literally dozens of new homes in the $500,000-plus range have been built with more in various stages of development, and the town continues to develop an image as a place to enjoy at the oceanfront year-round. “We have worked for many years to recapture our reputation as a family, oceanfront, resort and those efforts are paying off,” relates Seaside Heights Mayor Anthony Vaz. “This past year has been exciting as we have seen so much of our vision for Seaside Heights moving towards fruition.” According to Seaside Heights Borough Administrator, Christopher Vaz, “We are ready to do small projects or large. We have more available
ocean-proximity prime real estate than any other town in New Jersey. People should want to invest in Seaside Heights right now because investment here is rapidly accelerating.” “Seaside Heights is in the early stages of growing towards being a revitalized year-round community,” relates Michael Redpath, Executive Director of the Seaside Heights Business Improvement District. “We have worked with projects ranging from the large new Ocean Club at the south end of the Boardwalk to full-service restaurants and small food outlets on the Boulevard. We encourage potential investors in commercial construction projects or small businesses seeking a location to visit our website at exit82.com/business for more information. There they can also view our video to learn more about investing in Seaside Heights” Redpath concluded. Visit exit82.com/business/ for more information.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, PC: Treating Everything Below The Knee
By Michael Vandenberg Dr. Scott Amoss, DPM, CWS is a lot more than a “foot doctor,” as people often mistake podiatrists for. In reality, “we provide comprehensive lower extremity care,” he said. So yes, if your foot hurts, Dr. Amoss will be happy to help. However, that barely scratches the surface of all the conditions he sees and the treatments he provides. Dr. Amoss (pronounced like “famous Amoss”) grew up in nearby Ocean Township and has been connected to the Jersey Shore community and greater New Jersey area his entire life. Originally, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Rutgers and spent a few years in the chemical industry. However, that feeling of wanting to make a difference in people’s lives that drives all physicians caught hold of Dr. Amoss. He liked podiatry in particular because of its ability to help people really quickly. “You can immediately have a positive impact on someone’s life. They come in pain, and can leave virtually pain free.” Scott Amoss became Doctor Scott Amoss when he graduated fourth in his class with numerous honors from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. He then completed a two year residency focusing on orthopedic, vascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, in addition to training in internal and emergency medicine, dermatology, and radiology.
After that, Dr. Amoss knew it was time to go out on his own, so he opened Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists in Whiting. 17 years later, the practice is going strong and recently opened a new location in Toms River to be closer to Community Medical Center, where he’s a surgeon on staff. Critically, this new foothold also allows him, as a specialist in diabetic foot care, to help the growing diabetic community in the area. While expanding served a logistically necessary purpose, Advanced Foot & Ankle has never lost its personal touch. You’ll never just be passed off to whichever doctor is on the clock that day, because Dr. Amoss is proud to be a solo practitioner. “The patients see me and only me,” he said. “It’s good continuity of care.” His tight-knit support staff of seven ensures that you get the streamlined care you deserve. That’s crucial in the field of Podiatry because, after all, things can get serious when it comes to Diabetes and foot complications. Luckily, Dr. Amoss is an Amputation Prevention Specialist as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Less serious conditions like hammertoes, ingrown nails, bunions, and athlete’s foot can be treated in the office, often during your initial visit! “We’re very conservative,” Dr. Amoss assures future patients. “I’m surgically trained but I only like to perform surgery when all other conservative means

have been exhausted. It’s going to be painless.” He makes that possible by developing treatment plans for each specific patient. Rest assured, Advanced Foot & Ankle is fully equipped to do so as soon as you come in. Both offices have digital X-rays so they can almost instantly see what’s going on and review it with the patient. They also have a diagnostic ultrasound to diagnose soft tissue conditions, as well as a laser for treatment of pain and neuropathy, a painful nerve condition caused by diabetes and other issues. They even offer MicroVas therapy, which gives much needed relief to patients with high levels of diabetic neuropathy, as well as vascular or PAD testing. In addition to the most cutting edge podiatric technology, Advanced Foot & Ankle has professional-grade consumer products you need for immediate relief. They offer a great selection of diabetic shoes, for example, One of Advanced Foot & Ankle locations is 601 Route 37 West, as well as custom - made 400 Lacey Road in Whiting (in the Stop and Shop Shopping orthotics which provide arch Center) support and help correct the
imbalance in patients’ feet. Advanced Foot & Ankle accepts most insurance plans. (Medicare covers one pair of diabetic shoes per year!) By having strategically-located offices, an experienced and focused staff, and tons of treatment methods and equipment at his disposal, Dr. Amoss is able to easily achieve his goal of getting you fast comfort and relief. When it comes to diseases like melanoma, for example, speed is absolutely critical. The most deadly form of skin cancer, melanoma has an especially poor prognosis on the foot because it often goes unnoticed for a long time. Dr. Amoss diagnosed several of these cases last year, which probably saved those patients’ lives. But sometimes conditions aren’t as complicated as much as some of the larger podiatrist offices try to let on. Dr. Amoss remembers one recent patient who came in after being with one such practice. “These eight doctors had exhausted all treatment options for this individual in pain,” he said. After years of getting the runaround, they told him there was noth-
ing they could do. The patient came limping into Advanced Foot & Ankle with what Dr. Amoss diagnosed in a matter of minutes as a simple corn on the tip of his toe. “We gave him a customized foot pad which helped him tremendously, and by the next day he came in to thank us and tell us how much better he was doing,” Dr. Amoss said. “He couldn’t believe he waited and wasted several years with this other group of doctors.” At Advanced Foot & Ankle, you’ll get fast and customized treatment from a doctor you can trust. Give them a call today at 732-350-0100 and their very accommodating staff will be able to make an appointment for you with Dr. Amoss right away. And as the “urgent care of the lower extremity,” emergency app oint ment s are also available. Advanced Foot & Ankle is located at 400 Lacey Road in Whiting (in the Stop and Shop Shopping Center) and 601 Route 37 West, Suite 300 in Toms River (in front of the Ocean Eye Institute).

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 25 - july 1 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Commitment is king. Making impulsive changes to your business plans or family budget can place you in an awkward position. Be true to your word in the week ahead and your honesty and loyalty should reap dividends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be wrapped up in romance as the week begins but pay attention to what is going on in the outside world, too. Tune into the news to remain aware of current events to avoid making serious career miscalculations. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Feedback from your friends may vary from positive to negative in the week to come even if you only have the best intentions. Act according to the highest principles when you must make significant financial decisions. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Plant yourself where conditions can powerfully support your growth. Financial schemes and opportunities can be put to good use in the week ahead. Romantic partners may be more lovable than usual. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The secret to success is to focus on working closely with loved ones and partners to achieve worthwhile goals. Remain persistent despite any setbacks. Build something up in the week ahead rather than tearing something down. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Trying to use a friendship to dig for information can backfire. Too many questions may arouse suspicions or make someone feel that their boundaries have been crashed. A loved one’s common sense can be useful this week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Be too passionate about supporting your family to make permanent plans with unreliable people -- someone might change their mind at the last minute. The week ahead may clarify the evidence of someone’s trustworthiness. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Embrace an opportunity to express love and enjoy romance. Weave interesting people, ideas, and things into the web of your life as the week unfolds. Engage in a study or investigation that gives you fresh purpose. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Nurture your inner strengths in the upcoming week. You may be wiser and more astute about the practical aspects of life, especially when handling money. Avoid people who take advantage of your generosity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Yes, you may be lucky in love and lucky with money. However, life always requires demonstrating your intention by working hard, too. You may be motivated to pursue financial and material success. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Following the group consensus might not be the best way to achieve your ambitions. In the week to come, a partner could set a good example of how to use drive, determination, and focus to help yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When you are in the right place at the right time, you can take advantage of sweet deals. Make the most of opportunities to strike a compromise in the week ahead to avoid misunderstandings and to be more successful.
