Quinn Hopping Funeral Home
BERKELEY – Now, Keith Pinto will forever be at the beach. The 22nd Avenue beach in South Seaside Park was renamed in honor of 19-year-old Keith Pinto, who lost his life there last year during a lightning storm. Seven other people – three of them lifeguards – were also injured that day. So many local lifeguards came out to his funeral that lifeguards from other counties, and in at least one case another state, came to cover their shifts.
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – There is much to see and do at the upcoming Ocean County Fair. Here’s a snapshot of what to expect so that you can plan your trip. The fair will be from July 13 through July 17 at the Robert J. Miller Air Park on Route 530 in Berkeley. Admission is $9. Kids under 10 are free, and parking is free.

Continued From Page 1 Post Commander Rich Angioletti, Service Officer Paul Lerin, who sang the National Anthem and provided some history about “Old Glory,” and Membership Chairman Mike Obssuth who presented an overview of the history of the American Legion. “I felt it was important to remind people about the importance of the Fourth of July. Many people associate July 4th with barbeques, picnics, fireworks and fun and that is part of what it is meant to be, and the freedoms we enjoy and are bestowed upon us - but if it weren’t for the courageous acts by people of the 18th century willing to put it all on the line, there would not be a United States of America,” Worrell said. He added, “in July of 1776, the Revolutionary War, as it has come to be called, was in full swing.

Continued From Page 1 Tyler Pinto, his brother, gave a speech during the dedication. “Thank you to everyone being out here. It means more to us than we can possibly express. I know Keith is smiling down on us, gathered together from all parts of his life. Your support really gets us through.” Tyler remarked that it was about 10 months ago. “They say it gets easier with time, but
It started in 1775 in Concord Massachusetts by a group of farmers and tradesmen who stood up for what they believed in to be right to fight against increasing oppression. “By July of 1776 the Continental Congress felt it was necessary to lay out the reasons for the rebellion against the King of England,” Worrell said. He noted that on July 4, 1776, the arguments were presented in what became known as “the Declaration of Independence.” In reading the document, Worrell said, “we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men to derive at their just powers from the consent of the governed.” He also read each of the 10 Bill of Rights to the audience and introduced Lerin to provide some history about the American flag.
“In my opinion the American flag is, as I see all the national flags of the nations around the globe, is the most beautiful flag of them all,” Lerin said as members of the audience applauded. “There is just something about it. “The Continental Army was in battle and protesting since1765 and the common flag with colonial colors featured a coiled-up rattlesnake. Another flag had ‘Don’t Tread on Me.’ Those were the Colonial flags at the time. On January 1, 1776, George Washington put up the flag on a 76-foot pole consisting of the stripes, red white and blue but the blue field was the Union Jack and that is what led them into battle,” Lerin said. Lerin said, a year later, “the United States Congress enacted the very first flag and declared the stars and stripes to be known as the United States of America’s flag.” Obssuth informed the audience that “American Legion was chartered by Congress on
it gets harder with time because he’s not here for milestone events.” Township officials then unveiled a sign near the beach entrance showing him in his lifeguard chair. The name “Keith Pinto Memorial Beach at White Sands” is followed by “Keith left us too soon doing what he loved, serving and protecting. His sacrifice will never be forgotten. He will be remembered as a Hero, and missed by his family, friends and fellow lifeguards. ‘Sky above, sand below, peace within.’”
Family members hadn’t seen the sign before it was unveiled, and they gasped at how beautiful it was. In addition to the sign, several of the people gathered had tattoos memorializing the young man. He had started as a lifeguard when he was 16. The teenager was known for his kindness and his dedication to his loved ones. He graduated from Toms River High School North and was a sophomore at Ocean County College. He was studying criminal justice psychology and had plans to join the U.S. Marines.
September 16, 1919 as a patriotic veterans’ organization for war weary soldiers after World War I. It was a place for vets to gather and it evolved into one of the most influential non-profit groups in the United States with more than a million members in this country. Now we have more than two million members and 13,000 posts worldwide. Today we have many programs that aid vets in the communities where we are located.” Later this month the Post will hold a special event called Summer Bash 2022, an American Legion Family Picnic from 1 – 5 p.m. on July 16 at the Post’s picnic area. Proceeds from the requested $25 donation will benefit Unit 351’s veterans’ programs. The menu includes hamburgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, salads, desserts beverages, door prizes, games such as the best Hawaiian shirt contest. For tickets call Nancy Robbins at 732-644-1603.

Fine Art Gallery. “I’ve shown at the Ocean Galleries several times. They asked me to fill it and I did. What is really unique about this show is that every style that I ever painted will be on show there. I’ve changed styles at different times in my career and they have some of my early work all the way up to my latest pieces. They have sculptures, flowers, beach scenes, and impressionist pieces,” she told Jersey Shore Online. Her artistic talent began at an early age. “My mother meticulously kept everything of mine. From a very early age I was drawing and that was a passion. I also had a speech impediment so my teachers told my parents so I had ballet class at school. The craziest thing is I ended up doing all three things: becoming a dancer, an actress who specialized in playing in different languages, specifically the “r” sounds being very hard for me to do in real life and the sound being the most difficult to do and that being the American pronunciation, and then the drawing.” She has earned great success in the worlds of art, design and corporate entrepreneurship, led by her Open Hearts by Jane Seymour line of jewelry, which launched in 2008. She has taken her Jane Seymour Designs brand to the position of being in the top 100 of Licensing Global Magazine’s list of the world’s top brands, something no other actor or actress has accomplished. She added, “everything I do comes from my art in the same way my art always comes from life. What is going on in my life. What I feel about
The Toms River Times, July 9, 2022, Page 5 things and makes me happy. It is a very healing process to do art.” Seymour is the recipient of the Officer of the British Empire (OBE) bestowed upon her by Queen Elizabeth II. She has proven her talents in virtually all media, the Broadway stage, motion pictures and television. Through the popular CBS series “Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman,” she became a role model to young women and girls throughout the world showing her courage to achieve, and improve anything a man can do. She won a Golden Globe as Dr. Michaela Quinn in the action packed, family drama series which ran for six seasons from January 1, 1993, to May 16, 1998 and spawned two TV movie sequels. “We are all very close. I was talking to (co-star actor) Joe Lando (who played her husband Sully) about an hour ago, Sully and Michaela live on in contemporary form. Joe helps me and I help him when I can,” she told Jersey Shore Online.com. During the series’ fourth season, Seymour’s real-life pregnancy was written into the show. “We named the child Katie which was the name of my daughter so that is where we took the name from and Joe has four children and had one girl and he named her Kate so we both have a Kate.” She added that along with the close relationship he has with the cast of the show, the bond she had with legendary singer Johnny Cash and his wife June. The friendship that developed when they were guest stars on the series led her to produce the bio pic “Walk the Line.” “Johnny and June advanced us the rights to their life and we came up with that movie. That was amazing. We did all the research on that. They trusted us and didn’t trust anyone else and I think we did them proud. It was a movie about
redemption and not just a chronological story of a man,” Seymour added. Her interest in producing led her to meet James Keach. “He was a producer and when I met him, I wanted to produce my first movie and my agent was smart and he said this terrific director who was also an actor and also writes and produces - the two of you together would be great. He can show you the ropes and you can work together on it. “We ended up getting married and having children and being together for 26 years. We are no longer together, sadly, for about nine years, but I am now producing myself,” she said. Through her production company she has produced and starred in programs as “Sunstroke,” “A Passion for Justice,” “Praying Mantis,” “The Absolute Truth,” “Enslavement: The Fanny Kemble Story,” and “Blackout.” She went behind the camera to serve as an executive producer on the documentary film “Glen Campbell...I’ll Be Me”, which told the touching story of musician Glen Campbell’s farewell tour while dealing with the effects of Alzheimer’s disease. One potential project may bring her back to her beloved TV series, Dr. Quinn. “We didn’t know if we had the rights but recently, Beth Sullivan who did the original has the rights back. She was the original writer of it. She put together an amazing script of where the story would go and where the characters would now be. We pitched it to a couple of places but they said no one is interested in westerns,” Seymour added. She explained, “there are so many streaming channels and so many different places these days. Ours wouldn’t be a remake, it would be a continuation it would be 25 years later and at

the turn of the century and mostly the younger characters although Joe and I would be in there as well. All the originals want to come back.” Seymour showed her comedic talent in the film “The Wedding Crashers” which paired her with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. This led to starring roles alongside Robert DeNiro in the feature film “The War with Grandpa.” Currently, she stars in “Harry Wild” which debuted in April on the streaming series Acorn TV. She plays a retired college professor who cannot stay quietly retired to the dismay of her police inspector son. “All the Dr. Quinn fans are all insane about Harry Wild. They’ve gone nuts for it. It was sold globally like Dr. Quinn but it isn’t anything like Dr. Quinn. I play an English professor who has never been married but her son is a detective. She drinks too much wine. She does what she wants when she wants. She is super smart,” the actress added. “She helps her son as a detective who has no idea how to catch the bad guy. She’s figured it out because of her knowledge of books and intrigue along with help from her 15-year-old sidekick,” Seymour said. This year Seymour was also featured in the Australian film “Ruby’s Choice” as Ruby, a grandmother who suffers from dementia. The film follows three generations of strong Australian women who struggle to deal with the effects of Ruby’s illness as it threatens to push them apart.

There were approximately 500 people there. By way of comparison, for the 1967 show, that number was up to 60,000 people. It started at the Ocean County Park in Lakewood, but outgrew it in the 1980s. It was then relocated to the Robert J. Miller Airpark in Berkeley Township. The first four-day fair was in 1982. It used to be an agricultural show for local farmers to show off their crops. However, as farming gave way to housing and commercial development, there are very few farms left locally. The 4-H has taken on the agricultural aspect of the fair, showing off what families have grown and nurtured. The fair was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic. At that time, the statement put out was that “Rutgers Cooperative Extension/4H has put a hold on all 4H activities through August. 4H is such a strong partner of the fair that we cannot see a way forward without them this year.” The fair is run by volunteers, and without the 4H and other groups, they were shorthanded. In 2021, it had been scheduled. However, in April of that year it was cancelled because capacity restrictions were still in place and 4H was limited from having large gatherings. The 2020 fair would have been the 73rd year of the fair. The only years they missed were 2020 and 2021.

New Laws Protect Abortion Patients From Other States
TRENTON – With abortion expected to become illegal or heavily restricted in about half of all states now that the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, Governor Phil Murphy signed two bills to protect individuals who receive and provide reproductive health care services in New Jersey. The legislation establishes protections for patients and providers. For patients, the legislation helps ensure residents of other states who seek reproductive health care in New Jersey can access confidential care without fear of prosecution. For providers, the
legislation insulates healthcare practitioners from New Jersey-initiated disciplinary actions based on the provision of reproductive health care, including abortion, that is legal in New Jersey. “While others throughout the country are revoking a woman’s right to reproductive freedom, New Jersey will continue to defend this fundamental right in our state,” said Governor Murphy. “By bolstering protections against potential repercussions for both health care professionals and patients, we are sending a message to all who seek or provide
WHEN EYE COLOR COUNTS
Pigmentation is what gives our eyes their beautiful colors, but it is also essential for providing us with proper vision. People with ocular albinism, a genetic condition that results in severely reduced pigmentation in the eye, lack visual acuity and depth perception. They may also suffer from other eye ailments such as involuntary eye movement, increased sensitivity to light, and eyes that point in different directions. There may also be an abnormality in the communications between the brain and the optic nerves that send it information. Ocular albinism differs from other forms of albinism in that it only affects the eyes and has no noticeable effect on the pigmentation in skin or hair. The most common form of ocular albinism is known as the NettleshipFalls type or type 1. Other forms of ocular albinism are much rarer and may be associated with additional signs and symptoms, such as hearing loss. When you need to schedule an exam, call SIGHTMD NEW JERSEY SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES at 732-349-5622. We offer evening hours most nights of the week. P.S. The vision impairments caused by ocular albinism are permanent, but they do not worsen over time.

reproductive health care within our borders that we welcome and support you. These laws represent our commitment to standing by a woman’s right to make her own decisions about her body, and will serve to make our state a beacon of freedom to every woman in America.” The first bill (A-3975/S-2633) would generally prevent the disclosure of a patient’s medical records related to reproductive health care without their consent in any civil, probate, legislative or administrative proceeding. It would also prohibit public entities and employees from cooperating with interstate investigations aiming to hold someone liable for seeking, receiving, facilitating, or providing reproductive health care services that are legal in New Jersey. It would further protect providers by prohibiting New Jersey licensing boards from suspending, revoking, or refusing to renew the license or registration of a professional based solely on their involvement in the provision of reproductive health care services. The second bill (A-3974/S-2642) would prevent the extradition of an individual within New Jersey to another state for receiving, providing, or facilitating reproductive health care services that are legal in New Jersey. Primary sponsors of both bills include Senators Nia Gill, Nellie Pou, and Gordon Johnson, and Assembly members Lisa Swain, Mila Jasey, and Raj Mukherji. “The Supreme Court took a drastic step backwards by repealing a landmark decision that was the cornerstone for protecting reproductive freedom in America. This decision has been the catalyst for continued efforts to enact more robust laws that amplify and defend a woman’s right to choose in New Jersey,” said Senate Majority Leader M. Teresa Ruiz. “Because of the provisions that are being enacted (in New Jersey), the ability to seek out and receive safe and legal reproductive
health services will become a guaranteed right for all who wish to access them in our state. While this does not change the tragic reality for many individuals living in places where reproductive rights have been stripped away, anyone who chooses to come to New Jersey and receive an abortion will be safeguarded from facing criminal charges in their home state. I am proud to lead and govern in a state where the value and importance of ensuring the right to choose is prioritized and respected.” “We acted in January of this year with a preemptive strike to ensure New Jersey women are not affected by the whims of Scotus and their overturning of Roe v. Wade,” said Assemblywoman Lisa Swain. “Women and their doctors are the only individuals necessary to make choices about their bodies and reproductive health. This new law aims to protect medical professionals who provide reproductive healthcare services in New Jersey that is in violation of any other state’s laws and prohibits the use of extradition. We will continue to protect women and ensure they can make their own medical decisions partnered with their doctors.” “With certain states taking radical steps such as allowing civil litigation against New Jersey physicians and healthcare personnel for providing reproductive healthcare and reaching outside their borders to criminalize travel to our state by women availing themselves of fundamental rights protected under New Jersey law, we must act to protect a woman’s control over her own bodily autonomy and future,” said Assemblyman Raj Mukherji. “New Jersey will not extradite women or healthcare providers who are criminally charged under unjust, overreaching laws in another state for protected activities occurring within our state. New Jersey will protect the sacrosanct privacy of people’s medical records, and we will not cooperate with efforts to harass our medical providers through extraterritorial litigation for conduct occurring squarely within our borders which falls squarely within our laws.”

POLICE BLOTTER Car Goes Up In Flames From Lithium Ion Battery Fire By Alyssa Riccardi TOMS RIVER – What looks like a giant explosion inside a small sedan was the result of a Lithium-Ion battery fire, officials said. Flames from the fire completely melted away the seats of the car, with the roof of the car coming apart. Firefighters from the Pleasant Plains Fire Company responded to the car fire on June 30 that was caused by a wireless phone charger inside the car. According to Chief Inspector John Novak, the battery charger was left on a car seat. The owner said that the charger had not been working properly. Many manufacturers recommend that Liion batteries are not left in direct sunlight, Novak said, and owners should follow all manufacturer instructions.

Ocean County Contractor Arrested In Home Improvement Scheme By Alyssa Riccardi TOMS RIVER – A 35-year-old man has been criminally charged in connection to a home improvement contracting scheme targeting township residents, police said. Robert Cohan, 35, of Lakehurst, was charged was with 2nd Degree Theft by Deception as well as multiple counts of unregistered home improvement contracting. According to police, Cohan’s scheme began in February then continued through May and he specifically approached residents of the Gardens of Pleasant Plains. Cohan would solicit residents to do driveway, sidewalk, as well as roof, door and other home repairs. In that time, he collect-
ed more than $150,000 from his victims. Toms River Police Spokesperson Jillian Messina said that Cohan would collect an initial deposit, then return later and solicit more money but never performed any of the promised work. In addition, he fraudulently used the name of his family’s construction company name in the scheme. On June 23, Detective Robert O’Neill arrested and charged Cohan. Criminal charges for 2nd Degree Theft by Deception were approved by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office. Cohan was remanded to the Ocean County Jail where he remains pending a detention hearing.

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 732-818-3610.
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

3 Natural Hot Flash Relief Supplements By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Many people get through their whole life without a hot flash, and that’s great. But for others, the problem is disabling so today’s article is about natural relief for hot flashes. I tend to hear more complaints about hot flashes in the summertime and that’s because the added hot weather makes it even harder for your body to compensate and thermoregulate itself properly. A hot flash feels slightly differently to all those who experience it, but it’s a sensation of warmth throughout your body. It could feel really hot, where you start to flush. If you’ve ever taken a good brand of niacin, you may have felt something akin to a hot flash because it would have made you flush. Sometimes the hot flashes are so frequent, or intense that they are painful or disabling. Triggers include some of the following: • Chili or spicy foods • Caffeinated drinks • A lot of stress • Some medications • Genetics • Your estrogen levels • Your cortisol levels • Levels of thyroid hormone Here are 3 Natural Ways To Reduce Hot Flashes 1. Black Cohosh. Generations of women have relied on the gnarled root of black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) to relieve various hormonal issues such as Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and menstrual cramps as well as hot flashes. Many holistic doctors like black cohosh because their patients cannot tolerate HRT due to side effects. And it’s hard to dose correctly unless you know how your patient is metabolizing their hormones. That’s why a DUTCH test can help (it’s
available at my website, or through your own doctor). It can evaluate your urine hormone metabolites because blood tests cannot. 2. St. John’s Wort. The most famous herb used for melancholy helps with hot flashes too! Studies have shown that St. John’s wort is effective in treating menopause symptoms and mood dysphoria. It also has some sedative properties making it useful for people with insomnia. A meta-analysis found that the herb had minimal side effects and could help reduce the number of hot flashes, as well as severity of them. But it takes about 8 weeks to work. The combination of St. John’s wort and Black Cohosh could be really helpful since there is synergy! Just be careful not to combine St. John’s wort with prescribed medications. 3. Thyroid Supplements or medications. Ensuring healthy thyroid hormone status is critical. You shouldn’t have too much or too little thyroid hormone. Your physician can test you to see what your levels are. Having hyperthyroidism means you will run hot! It’s not something that you can fi x with estrogen, you fi x it by reducing your thyroid hormone levels so don’t take supplements to increase levels! My book called Thyroid Healthy can help you address all kinds of thyroid imbalances. Likewise, low thyroid hormone levels as in hypothyroidism, will cause you to have poor thermoregulation as well which can raise your risk for thermostat problems too! Supplements could work very well here to raise levels, as could medications. But please do not start or stop any medications without consulting a qualified medical doctor who can supervise your regimen.

Fire Breaks Out During BlueClaws July 4th Fireworks Display
By Jason Allentoff LAKEWOOD – No one was injured when a small blaze broke out at ShoreTown Ballpark on July 4th during the Jersey Shore BlueClaws fireworks display. Director of Communications Greg Giombarrese told Jersey Shore Online that part of the shrubs behind the centerfield wall caught fire. Giombarrese said “the Lakewood Fire Department and Ocean County Fire Marshal were on site during the event which is standard procedure during all fireworks display nights at the stadium.” Giombarrese added that firefighters acted quickly and extinguished the fire in a safe
─Photo courtesy Brianna Gorneau manner. No fans were in the vicinity at the time of the blaze and the fire broke out in an area that is cleared by the staff after the seventh inning of every fireworks game. Giombarrese also said that they thank the Lakewood Fire Department and the Ocean County Fire Marshal for continuing to help make the BlueClaws experience a safe night out for friends and family. Despite the flames and smoke, the fireworks display show continued to the delight of fans in the seats. The Jersey Shore BlueClaws Independence Day Celebration is one of the busiest events for the team during each season.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law The Purpose For Doing Home Inspections When Buying A House
Marc S. Galella Esq.
By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates Many years ago, when I first started practicing real estate, home inspections were rare. It was not unusual to see only 1 out of 20 buyers do a home inspection. In fact, there were some forms of residential real estate contracts that did not allow the buyer to do a home inspection. All that has changed! Today, it is exceedingly uncommon and almost unheard of for a buyer not to do a home inspection. The real purpose of having a home inspection is to have an expert determine that the house being purchased is structurally sound and that the major systems of the house, namely the heating, cooling, electrical, plumbing systems and the included appliances and fixtures are in proper working order and that there are no leaks in the roof, walls or basement. In addition, the buyers may also check for the presence of wood destroying insects (termites) and radon gas. Where applicable, the buyer can also check the condition of a swimming pool, docks and bulkheads, as the case may be. The standard procedure in most contract is to allow the buyer a period of time to perform the inspections (usually 14 days) and for the buyer to request that the seller address defects noted in the inspection report. In most cases the seller has the opportunity to correct the defect and if the seller refuses to correct the defect, then the buyer has the right to cancel the contract.
Unfortunately, in some cases, the buyer attempts to use the home inspection as a tool to renegotiate the purchase price of the contract. This is not the reason why we perform home inspections and, in many cases, leads to unnecessary contention between the buyer and the seller. In order to prevent this when I represent a seller, in attorney review I will limit the scope of the inspections to material defects. I define a material defect as a condition or functional aspect of a structural component or system that substantially affects the value, habitability or safety of the house. A material defect does not include merely decorative, stylistic, cosmetic or aesthetic aspects. Also, I also make it clear that the age of a system is not a defect if the system is working properly. By setting the ground rules for the inspections in advance in attorney review, the attorney for the seller can limit the home inspections for the purpose for which they are intended and to prevent the re-negotiation of the previously agreed upon contract price.

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

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of july 9 - july 15 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You might feel like a social butterfly in the upcoming week. Make the most of holiday outings but remember to be loyal to your committed relationships. Keep your actions appropriate to avoid misunderstandings. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Open mindedness should keep you out of harm’s way. Welcome your friends’ unusual ideas in the week ahead and you may become the center of attention. However, you may need to step up to protect boundaries. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You must play the hand with the cards you are dealt. Impulsive decisions and changes could derail the budget. You may be more interested in moneymaking ideas and career success than romantic interludes this week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Wake up and embrace the things that make you happy. You must be adaptable, consistent, and reliable in the upcoming week. Use wisdom to make headway with career and financial concerns, and business tactics. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Multitask. Make time for appearances in the right places, but also remain dedicated to your focus on work as the week unfolds. Mindful networking can bring rewards on multiple levels and you should enjoy meeting interesting people. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Use your intuition and your open heart. Body language will often tell the story, but not everyone is wired the same way, so not all people will give the same signals. A loved one may help you achieve your goals.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Put business before pleasure in the week ahead. You can get a lot accomplished and address your material needs without neglecting your family or a romantic partner. A flirtatious glance may cause a misunderstanding. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your inner ambitions may inspire and empower you to dedicate your time to completing a long-term strategy. You could be thrown into close contact with influential, interesting, or famous people in the upcoming week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Never underestimate the power of a community to provide love and assistance to its members. Revive someone’s spirits in the week ahead by being loud and clear about your support for loved ones and dear friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Demonstrate faith and fidelity. There are never doubts or fears when there is true unity of purpose. If you display unflagging confidence in your abilities in the week ahead, you can instill optimism in everyone you meet. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may meet friendly people at public outings or welcome fascinating people into your home in the upcoming week. Family expenditures could easily get out of hand unless you maintain an iron grip on the budget. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Create a vision to work toward. Visualize a powerful and detailed picture of an exciting future and infuse it with focused actions. Gather advice or guidance from an expert before you make a snap financial decision.
