Family Fun Discovered At Columbus Parade And Italian Fest

Don’t miss what’s happening in your town.

By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Long time Parade Chairman Michael A. Blandina said recently that the annual Italian Heritage Festival and Ocean County Columbus Day Parade never rests on its laurels and that he and his committee always try to offer something new and exciting to those who come out to it.

Blandina said that the festival, held from Friday, Oct. 6 to Sunday, Oct. 8 “has become one of the most popular ethnic cultural festivals in the state.” He added that for the past 19 years the

Township Plans Ahead

By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – Mayor Ken Palmer gave an update on the ongoing repairs to the water tower near Town Hall, as scaffolding has been slowly creeping up toward its dome. The mayor said that once the scaffolding reaches the top, the next step is to remove the dome-like apparatus.

“That’s when the real work begins,” he shared, adding that crews will begin maintenance on the inside and outside of the tower at the same time, using drop seats to paint both sides for about six to seven weeks.

He also thanked residents for their patience in abiding by the outside watering restrictions during the tower maintenance, which took effect for residents in the township’s Eastern Service Area, primarily (Township- See Page 5)

Columbus: Continued From Page 1 parade committee arranged to bring in “special groups of talented people from Italy to add an authentic spirit of Italian Heritage and Culture to these events.”

“This year it was our honor to have for the first time with us the folkloric groups Città di Tropea from the Region of Calabria, Italy and La Teglia from the Region of Molise, Italy,” Blandina said.

Both Folkloric Groups consisted of around 25 members, divided between singers, danc-

ers and musicians. All were experienced in folklore and wore historical costumes typical of their respective region of Italy. Such attire was usually worn for special occasions like weddings, engagements and other important events.

Blandina thanked John Giavatto, International Relations Chairman for the festival, with continuing to arrange groups like La Teglia and Città di Tropea to attend the iconic cultural event, which has become a staple activity for county residents and visitors for nearly 30 years.

Saturday’s entertainment included Jersey Shore DJ Entertainment followed by children’s characters at noon along Grant Avenue provided by Absolutely Bonkers. Saturday’s entertainment included Julian & Dominique, Jimmy Bono Geany, The Cameo’s, Kim Jenkins of Strictly 60s and another appearance by La Teglia and Citta di Tropea.

Despite gray skies and a few sprinkles of rain, the 26th annual Ocean County Columbus Day Parade stepped off at 1 p.m. as planned on Oct. 8. The rainfall that put a damper on last year’s parade would not be repeated.

Rancho Folclorico “Danca Na Eira,” a Portuguese group, performed at 3 p.m. and were followed by Tympanic Plexas and Patsy Palma, who performed a tribute to Frank Sinatra and the Juke Box Legends All Star Review with Joe Leo, Bill Sagares and John Sebastian. They were joined by Vic Rubino and Frank DeRosa.

Sandra Lazzaro is a regular at the festival.

She’s attended the borough’s last 20 Columbus Day celebrations. “As the daughter of two immigrant parents of Italy it is wonderful to see our culture and heritage honored like this. I feel it with all my heart.” She previously worked with the parade/festival organizers to bring representatives of Italian law enforcement to the borough’s festival as special guests.

Gary Leonardo of Hamilton brought his family to the parade on Sunday, including his 4-year-old son who was waving an Italian flag as bands, floats and marchers passed by.

“For us it is a tradition that three generations of Leonardos have enjoyed for many years,” Leonardo said.

“I am always happy at this festival,” the mayor said while strolling with his wife to explore the festival. “It brings out Italian heritage to our community. This is also a wonderful family event and Seaside Heights is very family oriented. This is a one of our best post-season activities.”

Entertainers on Friday night included the Juke Box Legends, The Gems and a strolling Metropolitan Festival Band.

Among the many vendors that were part of the weekend festival was Roe’s Casa Dolce owned

by Mike Caruso. His stand featured an Italian flag canopy. “We’ve been here at this festival for five years now. Before this we did the St. Gerard Italian Festival in Newark for 20 years.

I met Mike (Blandina) at that festival and he asked if I’d be interested in coming here. I did and we’ve been here ever since.”

Caruso, whose stand sells cannolis and other Italian baked goods, moved his family to Toms River from Staten Island a few years ago.

Not all the stands were for a profit making operation. John Salemi, Toms River, joined fellow members of Simon’s Soup Kitchen in bringing awareness to their cause of helping the needy.

“The Columbus Day Parade Committee has allowed us to have a table here for the last 14 years. We serve meals twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the parish hall of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church.

“Our usage is significantly down and it does make a difference,” he said.

W hen it comes to Pine Lake, one plan is to try and remove an excess of stumps in order to increase water f low.

Mayor Palmer also thought there might be enough f lashing sensors to use here as well.

Lake Planning It may or may not be too early to discuss the state of Harry Wright and Pine lakes, as the summer season just came to a close, but after a resident asked what their status might be for the 2018 summer season, he received an answer.

Mayor Palmer stressed that each lake has different issues, but that overall the situation seems to be improving.

When it comes to Harry Wright Lake, he said, “We felt that the Geese Chasers worked, so we’re going to retain them again this year.”

Geese Chasers LLC is a company the township brought on last year that uses border collies to chase geese away from lakes. The mayor also said they’ll be trying out f lashing sensors that f loat on the water to detract the birds.

Another plan is to try and increase the water f low as much as possible, as he said one of the big problems with Harry Wright is that it gets very hot and dry in the summer, which creates problems.

Harry Wright Lake was closed in late July because water testing results were above the limits allowed for swimming, notably after a particular hot and dry stretch of weather.

Wildfire Safety Council The township will also be forming a Wi ld f i re Safet y Cou nci l ( WSC), which residents at the council meeting were highly appreciative of, especially in light of recent wildfires that have burned through more than 50,000 acres of California’s wine country and forced nearly 20,000 people from their homes.

The WSC, which will be made up of f ive mayor-appointed members, will have a goal to i ncrea se educat ion , t raining and f ire prevention effor ts within the township by seeking grant funds, performing outreach and acting as a link to Manchester and Whiting Fire Companies during evacuation and training efforts.

Examples of its role is ensuring that f ire retardant building materials are being used in f ire-prone areas, and coordinating planning efforts to make sure fuel breaks are being constructed in new developments.

An ideal team would be the township office of emergency management coordinator, fire chief, a local businesses or company with an interest in wildfires, such as an insurance or utility company, and interested residents.

Ghost: Continued From Page 1 whose ship was captured and plundered by Joshua Huddy’s men. Dillon complained to the royal governor and demanded revenge. That led to a British force coming to Toms River, burning it to the ground, and taking Huddy away to later be executed.

So, while her house certainly has history, she knows it’s not Dillon visiting her.

“There are children and they only come out this time of year,” she said. “They giggle and whisper. They’re harmless. I always wonder who it is.”

She was one of many people who came to a talk given by Chelsea Lynch and Pat Kibby from South Jersey Ghost Research, a non-profit dating back to 1955 that does paranormal investigations for people.

It was appropriate that the event was held in the Bishop Building, an old building that has a lot of history. These are the kinds of buildings that seem to be home to spirits.

The presentation opened with a half-hour video that showed examples of what they would experience in the field, followed by a question and answer period.

The video showed old, archaic buildings, cemeteries, and other storied places.

There was one series of photographs taken in the Burlington County Prison Museum.

A silhouette of a figure stood in the middle of the room.

The group also played recordings of what could be voices. At the Smithville Mansion, a voice was recorded saying “inside, come inside.” At Fort Mifflin in Pennsylvania, they recorded “see you, see you in the morning.”

A Class A recording is so clear that everyone agrees on what is being said, they explained. In a Class B, there is defi nitely language, but not everyone is in agreement on what it says. A Class C is a recording of something, but no one can figure out what it is.

One thing that wasn’t shown in the video was some of the slow parts of an investigation, waiting around for hours for something to happen, the investigators joked.

Some of the language they used was that these were “unexplained elements.” There is a science to weed out the true from the false.

There was a display that explained pareidolia. This is a situation where the brain tries too hard to make sense of a random pattern. For example, fi nding shapes in clouds. If a cloud looks like an elephant, it’s all in your head. Paranormal investigators have to make sure they’re not doing the same thing. They have to fi nd out if they’re witnessing actual phenomena or if their brain isn’t just filling in the blanks.

Also, they have to understand their equipment so that they know what it looks like when it is malfunctioning. That could give off a false positive. They would also need to know what could just be dust or hair or an insect being photographed at a strange time.

Another case is more psychological.

People have called them, saying they are possessed by demons. But, there is a dif-

The Manchester Times, October 14, 2017, Page 7 ference between what Hollywood would have you believe is a demon possession versus the genuine article. They would not share these differences, because they don’t want people to mimic this, consciously or unconsciously.

Of course, this led to questions about what the difference is between a ghost and a demon. The presenters said that there are evil spirits out there, causing bad things to happen to people. These spirits were never alive. They’re not looking to cross over.

They’re just evil.

While they do cemetery clean-ups and visits of known haunted buildings, most of their cases are personal ones. These are private citizens who have something going on in their home. They are nicknamed “Casper Cases,” because these are usually a friendly ghost.

On the other side of this is negative hauntings. In these cases, something is causing harm to the occupants or damaging property. There’s another group, called Sanctuary Paranormal, that handles the scary stuff. There is crossover among the members, but not everyone wants to handle the scary cases.

As in normal life, some people you encounter are just nasty, Kibby said. “They were nasty in life, and now they’re nasty in death.”

With the epidemic of overdose deaths these days, she said she worried about what some of these souls will be like after they die.

Will they stay around here, because they are afraid to move on to be judged? Or would they move on because they don’t want to be part of their old life anymore?

Most of the ghosts South Jersey Ghost Research encounters are just people who don’t realize they’re dead or who are just happy being where they are, Lynch said.

“Personally, people scare me more than spirits,” she said.

What Makes A Haunted House?

People asked questions about why certain houses are haunted and others are not. Does there always have to be history in the building, or have they ever encountered a haunting in a brand new apartment?

Lynch said that the material of the home makes a difference. Quartz or limestone hold in the energy better.

Kibby added that it has to do with the emotions that go into a place. There is layer upon layer of history in a lot of places, and much of New Jersey has Native American burial grounds. Settlers’ treatment of “Indians” aren’t what we were taught in school: “We came, we had Thanksgiving dinner, and then they left,” she joked.

They will also be at the Barnegat Branch at 7 p.m. on Oct. 24. The phone number there is 609-6983331. Programs are free but registration is required.

Voting On Election Referendum Questions Voters are being asked to approve the NJ Library Construction Bond Act on Nov. 7, as well as a constitutional amendment dedicating moneys from state environmental contamination cases.

I give no. 1 a “NO” vote. It calls for state grants to towns and counties for upgrades to library facilities. While there is a need and the thought has merit, it should not be funded by taxpayers throughout NJ. Here in Ocean County we’ve been paying a county library tax at least as far back as 1993 per my records. In Lacey the tax is now .037 per hundred dollars of valuation. Ocean County has established a high quality system with our tax dollars.

Apparently, North Jersey governmental bodies have not had the foresight to set aside funds for libraries.

They generally have higher property taxes than us, however.

The issue is a local problem, and it should not be hoisted onto the backs of the general populace. Anyone who has a mortgage knows that the final cost will be far more than $125 million. I encourage you to vote “NO.” Question no. 2 should get a “YES” vote. It’s a no-brainer that environmental pollution recovery funds should go to the cleaning up the environment and not wind up in the .

We’ve all heard how the governor has robbed such funds to balance the budget. The original legislation behind this question has allowed him to do it, so now is your chance to tie the hands of future governors. The original legislation was faulty, so correct it with a “YES” vote.

For Seniors It warms my heart to see how much Ocean County Freeholder Joe Vicari cares about our senior community.

As my parents age it becomes increasingly more difficult to manage not only my family, juggling kids, spouse, pets and a household I am responsible for taking care of their day to day. When I hear about this one on one assistance program for Medicare prescription plans it gave me such a sigh of relief. I don’t have to spend hours researching things now for them.

I simply made an appointment with the Ocean County Connection for October. Now I can kill two birds with one stone – shopping and taking care of my parents.

Thank you Joe Vicari! You have saved me so much time that I can now spend enjoying my family. I’ll be voting for you this November 7th, 2017!

NFL Protests For the past week, much has been written about the dustup involving NFL players exercising freedom of speech.

The NFL players have only themselves to blame for this situation. No one is criticizing their right of freedom of speech. What is offensive is the manner in which they have chosen to exercise it.

The NFL players claim their disrespect of the flag is to protest social injustice and racial intolerance. However, there is absolutely no connection between the two, and the majority of Americans realize this. When Americans see these demonstrations, they see a bunch of affluent, entitled individuals disrespecting the symbol that represents the values, freedoms, and rights that all of us enjoy. Many who see this have fought in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf wars to defend and protect these rights and freedoms. Many have family members who fought and paid the ultimate price, all so that we could live as a free people.

There can be little doubt that the NFL players realize this .

injustice is a sham. However, what these players most certainly realize that the vast majority of protestors are African American. This automatically injects the element of race into the situation, and certainly not for the good. Therefore, one can only speculate what their true motivation is for their protests. Unfortunately, this side of the argument is never debated.

If the reaction of the fans at a recent football game is any indication, Americans are thoroughly disgusted with these protests. If enough Americans express their disapproval by not attending NFL games, the adverse financial impact will soon have both owners and players finding a more appropriate way to express their protests.

Paul C. Miller Toms River

Freedom Is Not Free

Freedom is not free. Many gave their lives for our freedom. Football players do have a right to protest. But they do not have the right to disrespect and dishonor those who gave their lives for our freedom. All Americans should and must stand to salute our flag as the National Anthem is played.

There are thousands of ways to protest. They could protest at halftime, shave their heads, paint their faces, stand on their heads, etc. They must respect our flag and anthem and all who gave their lives for our country. Shame on the owners and coaches. President Trump was right to call them S.O.B. because they are spoiled high paying players and don’t know what freedom is all about.

I am an 83-year-old Korean War Navy Veteran and my two now deceased brothers are also Korean War Navy Veterans. We always respect and honor those who gave their lives for what we have today. On Memorial Day I saw war Veterans from their wheelchairs struggle to their feet to stand at attention to salute our flag as the National Anthem Played. Wow. Tony Grace Berkeley .

Pink:

Continued From Page 1 sations about early detection and treatment in the ongoing fight against breast cancer.

Public safety agencies around the country take part in the #PinkPatchProject, which began last year, each of them choosing to donate proceeds from their campaign to a specific cancer research organization.

Route 571 Car Stop Nets $1,400 Worth Of Cocaine

By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – Four people were arrested Oct. 6 after they were found driving around with 27.4 grams of cocaine.

Members of Manchester Police’s Narcotics Enforcement Team (N.E.T.) received complaints about drug activity in the area of Surf & Steam Campground on Route 571 and stopped a Nissan Altima after conducting surveillance in the area where the drug activity was reported.

During the car stop near Ridgeway Boulevard, officers saw drug paraphernalia, a container of what looked like urine, and cocaine with a street value of about $1,400.

The car was filled with people from all over Ocean County. The driver was 36-year-old Nicholas Jandik of Manahawkin, but passengers included 29-year-old Lindsey Stecz of Bayville, 29-year-old Tiffany Dannecker

of Brick and 32-year-old Silvano Francis of Toms River.

The individuals were charged with multiple drug offenses, including Conspiracy to Possess Cocaine, Possession of Paraphernalia and Defrauding a Drug Test. Francis also had an outstanding $350 warrant out of Point Pleasant Borough, which he posted bail for. The other three were released on criminal summonses.

The Nissan Altima that Jandik drove was seized during the investigation and is pending forfeiture. Also assisting in the investigation were members of the Manchester Police Department’s Patrol Bureau and K9 Unit.

Manchester residents can report drug tips to the Manchester Police anonymously at 732-657-6111 or online via manchesterpolicenj.com.

OceanFirst Sparks Sand Angel Challenge For Hurricane Relief

By Sara Grillo SEASIDE PARK – Here on the East Coast where winters are filled with biting cold and blizzards – or at least they used to be – it’s pretty standard to have a few snow angels under our belts. But sand angels? Maybe not so likely.

OceanFirst Bank is on a mission to change that.

The company is teaming up with New Jersey Natural Gas, NJ101.5, WOBM, the Asbury Park Press and the Causeway Family of Dealerships to try and break the Guinness World Record for “Most Sand Angels Made Simultaneously.” The attempt will take place on the beach at Seaside Park, rain or shine, on October 28.

Anyone interested in trying their “wings” out to help break the record can register for $5 online at oceanfirstangels.com. All proceeds will go toward supporting those still struggling to recover from Superstorm Sandy five years later, as well as aiding in disaster relief and recovery efforts for recent victims of this year’s devastating hurricanes.

“As New Jersey’s leading community bank, OceanFirst was proud to play a major role in helping our neighbors and local businesses get back on their feet following Superstorm Sandy in October of 2012,” said Christopher D. Maher, Chairman & CEO of OceanFirst Bank. “Five years later, there are still people and businesses working to fully recover from the devastation caused by Sandy. We thought this would be a fun event and great way to pull the region to-

gether to help raise money for those affected by Superstorm Sandy and the recent hurricanes.”

The current record was set just three months ago by the city of Ludington in Western Michigan, where people there were successful in creating 1,387 sand angels at the same time.

Seems like a piece of cake, right? Not so fast.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, there are some pretty strict rules when it comes to creating a Sand Angel, including making your sand mold for at least 30 seconds.

Someone needs to help you get up, too, by pulling on your arms. Make sure you get up without stepping on your creation or leaving any hand prints on it.

Other than that, it’s basically like doing a jumping jack in the sand surrounded by a whole bunch of people for a really good cause.

The foundations involved in the challenge are Ocean County Long Term Recover Group, which aids those impacted by Superstorm Sandy, and the Salvation Army’s Emergency Disaster Services, which supports relief efforts for victims of recent hurricanes.

OceanFirst Foundation and New Jersey Natural Gas will donate an additional $10 for the first 1,500 people to sign up, who will also get a free t-shirt. Anyone who is unable to participate in the record-breaking challenge, but wants to be a volunteer or steward, should visit oceanfirstangels.com or email cferro@oceanfirst.com with “Sandy Angels Helper” in the subject line.

You will be advised to wear the hearing instrument to “test drive” the modification. If this is unsuccessful, you should return to the office and have the aid and/or ear mold remade by the manufacturer.

Comfort is very important when wearing your hearing aid(s). Discomfort occurs 10 percent of the time and usually happens when trying to remove your hearing instrument from your ear.

In most cases, in-the-ear hearing aids (ITEs) and ear molds for behind-the-ear hearing aids (BTEs) can create a sore ear (usually towards the top of the aid or ear mold). When this happens, do not continue to wear the instrument.

It’s not like breaking in a new pair of shoes! The next step is to contact your hearing health-care professional who can assess the problem. The majority of problems occur due to a “tight fit” and can be resolved by either grinding the mold/aid or remaking the entire

NEW JERSEY – The Autumn season brings a variety of seasonal fruits and produce that are good for the heart and the brain.

“Fall is a great time to incorporate vegetables and fruits into your diet,” states Joan Helfman, registered nurse and chair of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association Northern NJ Board of Directors.

“Adding colorful options to your plate like apples, brussels sprouts, broccoli, pears and kale can help reduce your risk for stroke.”

According to the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association, fruits and vegetables with color contain vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytochemicals that have different disease-fighting elements. These compounds may be important in reducing the risk of many conditions, including stroke— our nation’s No. 5 leading cause of death and

leading cause of long term disability. The Association recommends at least 4-5 servings per day of fruits and vegetables based on a 2000 calorie diet as part of a healthy lifestyle that can lower the risk for this deadly disease.

Seasonal produce is often more abundant and more affordable—helping to take a strain off the pocketbook as well.

Nearly 70 percent of American adults are obese and one in three children considered overweight or obese. It’s important to take control of the diet by making healthy choices. Obesity is a major— yet controllable—risk factor for stroke and heart disease. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean meats and fiber-rich grains can help ensure a healthy waistline.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Do Figs Really Contain Wasp Parts?

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

The first time I ate a fig I was about 40 years old! I was with my husband Sam, and we rented a cottage on a California vineyard in Sepastopol.

One day, we were in the jacuzzi on the deck, and we noticed a fig tree hanging overhead. So I asked the owner if we could eat the figs from the tree. That month it was literally a fig feast, I was making up for a lifetime of abstinence.

FYI, without the wasps you wouldn’t have figs and vice versa. The female fig wasp enters a male (inedible) fig fruit and crawls into the fig through a narrow hole called the “ostiole” which is so cramped and tight that it cuts off her wings and antenna! The lady fig wasp doesn’t know whether she’s entered a male fig or a female fig. If it’s a male “caprifig” she can get comfy and lay her eggs. The eggs hatch into larvae and grow within the fig’s petals. The male wasp offspring are born blind and flightless, but they mate with the females. The male wasps try to ‘eat’ their way out by creating a tunnel, but unfortunately it’s a long one, and they end up dying inside because they can’t escape. Is this TMI? Female fig wasps can collect a fig’s pollen and crawl out the tunnel that their dead partners built, and fly away in search of a new fig plant to lay their own eggs in. If a female wasp enters a female fig, it’s bad news. She won’t be able to lay her eggs because of the stylus. She’ll die

inside that fig… but she will have delivered the pollen. Mission accomplished.

Some of you are amused, and others probably mortified. Are you worried that figs contain big wasps? I’ve eaten a million and never saw one. I don’t think they contain wasps, honestly. The only time I ever saw a wasps inside a fig was on Google Images. (Don’t do it!) You see, it all ends well. The female figs produce an enzyme called “ficin” which digests the wasp that entered it, thus turning the wasp corpse into pure protein inside the fig.

Those crunchies inside the figs are seeds, not wasp parts. And if you’re wondering, fig jam is NOT sweet baby wasp paste!

Go ahead and visually inspect your figs to see what’s inside them, it’s just fig seeds, no wasps. Really. Nevertheless, vegans sometimes avoid figs since wasp critters are required to make a fig, and they sometimes worry that the exoskeleton of the fig wasp may not be 100% digested by the ficin enzyme. I’ve also wondered if figs could trigger allergies in people who are already allergic to bee or wasp venom.

Figs are superfoods. They contain fiber, minerals, vitamins, potent antioxidants and protein. You might be wondering how I eat figs today. I put thin slices on top of a cracker with brie cheese. Please go to my website and sign up for my newsletter, and I’ll send you a little more information on the nutrition of figs, as well as recipes.

Why do I know you are still disturbed about the wasps?

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE All-Care Physical Therapy Unveils Whiting Grand Re-Opening

Joan Yorke knew physical therapy could be better than what she had experienced. Her step-son Michael, a practicing, licensed physical therapist, agreed with her. He had also seen the need for improvement in various aspects of the physical therapy industry. Joan’s unsatisfactory experience and Michael’s determination to improve therapy for his patients became the motivation for All-Care Physical Therapy Center’s establishment.

All-Care Physical Therapy Center, a unique 12-yearold company, is owned by Michael Yorke and is family operated with offices in Whiting, Brick, Toms River, Barnegat, Manchester, Jackson, Forked River, and the newest location in Freehold. Michael works with his brother, Jim, and his parents Jim and Joan Yorke, in addition to a talented staff of physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, aides and clerical staff.

All-Care prides itself in its unique ability to offer services along every step of the therapy process, in what they call “The Continuum of Care.” From inhome physical therapy, to their free transportation service, to one of their many conveniently located outpatient facilities, their patients have access to familiar care as their needs change. In the facilities

they also offer a number of unique services such as hand therapy with a Certified Hand Therapist and an innovative treatment for Parkinson’s disease called LSVT Big. From the warm, inviting reception areas to the spacious and neat treatment floors, each All-Care facility location offers a spa-like atmosphere designed with patient comfort in mind.

“A patient that is comfortable has a much better rehabilitation outcome,” explains Michael.

The philosophy clearly goes beyond the aesthetics of the facility. All-Care’s approach to therapy is patient-focused with the intent of making therapy productive, progressive, and comfortable. All-Care stresses hands-on manual therapy with consistent patient/therapist interaction. This allows therapists to better customize treatment programs to the specific needs of their patients. This personalized attention improves patient comfort-levels which in turn improves the overall outcome of therapy.

Being owned by a practicing physical therapist is the reason for this novel approach. Michael is always looking first at what helps the patient the most.

This in turn guides the way he structures the business. The organization and personality of All-Care is not built upon a corporate

regimen, but upon the patient-first mission of handson therapy.

Most people assume the old adage, “No pain. No gain,” to be true of physical therapy. However, Michael says, “In general, nothing we do should cause pain.

You’re here for the exact opposite reason. Pain is a physiological response to tissue damage. Any physical therapy activity that elicits pain should be avoided.”

This innovative pain-free approach to physical therapy, coupled with the oneon-one attention from personable licensed physical therapists supports rapid physical and emotional rehabilitation.

All-Care believes that all aspects of the physical therapy experience are important. Whether it’s a private therapy room, spacious open floor plan that allows for a more thorough evaluation and treatment, a willingness to listen and adapt to a patient’s needs, or simply the polite staff, all contribute to patient satisfaction. Based on 12,000 patient surveys, nearly all, 99.7 percent of patients would recommend All-Care to family and friends while 98.2 percent said their experience at All-Care was exceptional compared to care they had received previously at other providers.

In fact, All-Care has won the title of “Best Physical Therapy” in Ocean County

Pictured are Michael and Jim Yorke with their parents, Jim and Joan Yorke in the Asbury Park Press Readers’ Choice Award for past six consecutive years.

The individual patient comments are even more telling. It’s not unusual for patient feedback to reflect that of former patient Fran F. who said, “I have never met such caring people in my life…I feel like they became my family and I will miss everyone.”

“As therapists we believe it’s our privilege to treat patients. We believe we are only as good as what our patients say about us,” says Michael, acknowledging the survey results. He adds, “We want to thank them for spreading the word.”

Indeed, patient recommendation has helped build the business from the beginning. All-Care opened in 2005 in a relatively small space in Whiting. At that time, Michael was the only therapist on staff. Patients completing their rehabilitation programs were just as satisfied then as they are now. The word spread quickly which lead to exceptional results. After five months in business, AllCare’s increase in patients required a move to a bigger

facility and additional staff.

And the trend continues.

To serve the growing number of patients, AllCare added facilities in Brick, Toms River, Barnegat, Manchester, Jackson, Forked River, and Freehold. As Whiting was the first All-Care Facility, this year Mike and Jim decided to provide a fresh new look. This included construction to make extra room for patient comfort, an upgraded private treatment room, new carpet, granite, painting, in addition to updated equipment and redecorating. It was important to them to have current equipment and maintain the spa-like atmosphere at their flagship facility. All-Care Physical Therapy Center treats patients of all ages for a wide variety of injuries, including those relating to sports, work, motor vehicle, and orthopedics. The frequency and duration of visits varies by the individual and the specific condition being treated, but typically patients meet with their therapist two to three times a week for four weeks or longer. The specifics of any treatment program

are determined after an initial evaluation with the therapist.

Individuals are required to have a prescription from their doctor to be seen by a physical therapist and in some cases, a formal referral to meet the requirements of the insurance carrier. All-Care is an in-network provider for most major insurance companies and in some cases can treat as an out-of-network provider. The center’s billing department can answer specific payment and insurance inquiries.

Inside The Law What Does “As Is” Mean In A Real Estate Contract?

Marc S. Galella Esq.

By Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R.C. Shea and Associates

Sometimes in residential real estate sales the Seller will state that the house is being sold “as is.” In some cases, the contract for the sale of the house may contain a simple statement such as: “This house is being sold as is.”

Unfortunately, the term “as is” may not always be fully understood by the parties. In many cases, sometimes even the Seller does not understand what the term “as is” means. The term “as is” may mean different things to different people. The failure of all of the parties to fully understand the term “as is” may lead to disagreements and confusion in the course of the sale, and possibly even to litigation.

In determining what the Seller means by “as is” we must look to what is contained in the pre-printed form of real estate contract usually prepared by the real estate agents. Most real estate contracts contain certain representation and warranties by the Seller which may contradict or negate the Seller’s “as is” provision.

For example, all contracts allow the Buyer to conduct inspections of the house and to raise defects revealed by the inspections to the Seller. In most cases, the contract will usually allow the Buyer to cancel the contract if the Seller will not agree to repair the defect or give the Buyer a credit for the defect at closing.

If the town requires a certificate of occupancy for the sale, almost all real

estate contracts obligate the Seller to pay for the inspection and any repairs necessary to pass. Even if the town does not require a certificate of occupancy, all towns require that the Seller have the house inspected by the town to determine that there are working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and fi re extinguishers.

In Ocean County, if the drinking water for the house is supplied an onsite well, the Seller is obligated by County Resolution to have the well water tested and certified in order to sell the house including the cost of treatment if required.

In most contracts, the Seller is responsible for the major systems (plumbing, heating, electrical, air conditioning, etc.) to be in working order at the time of the closing. This wording obligates the Seller to repair any defects in these items.

As can be seen, in many contracts, there are provisions which require the Seller to take action which dilutes the effect of the “as is” clause. If the Seller intends to make the sale “as is,” then the Seller should review these clauses in the contract and discuss with their attorney what the Seller means by “as is” and how the use of that term affects their obligations under the contract. In most cases the term “as is” needs to be better defined by the attorney during “attorney review” so that all parties understand the use of the term and thereby reducing disagreement and confusion later on.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Tallwoods Care Center is a Premier Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Facility.

Did You Forget To Pay?

Dear Joel, I am a seamstress. As a personal favor, I went to a client’s home to take some measurements and rework her clothes.

She said she’d pay me later and never did. I have done work for her since then but she never, not once, has brought up paying me for the work I did in the past.

I’ve comes to terms with never seeing the money, but how can I keep it from ever happening again? Bear in mind we were quite friendly but I never want this to happen again.

Underpaid in Ocean Gate Dear Underpaid That is a shame. People who perform a service often get shortchanged or even clipped like you did. You really are a good friend for choosing to forgive her debt.

From now on, you must clearly state what you expect to be paid, before you start any work. Remind her that you have many

clients and little time and that you can schedule her services when she is prepared to pay. If she is as good a friend as you, she should be grateful for your frank communication. If you would prefer a gentler approach, you might share your excited plans for growing your business, which include getting paid at the time of service. Hopefully she will get the hint. If neither of those work, then she may just have to learn to sew herself. Talented service people are often in business for themselves, making them the backbone of America. You deserve to be paid for any work you do.

Professional Profile ADVANCED FOOT & ANKLE SPECIALISTS, PC

To drag one’s feet is to proceed slowly, reluctantly or without enthusiasm. To sweep someone off their feet is to overwhelm with charm. And to stand on one’s own feet is to be independent and self-supporting. These are just a few examples of the many sayings that refer to the feet. But some may ask, why feet?

Simply put, because the feet are the foundation of the body and just like any other structure, the body without a strong foundation will begin to suffer possible serious problems, making proper foot care of the utmost importance.

Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, conveniently located in the Whiting Stop & Shop Shopping Center at 40 0 Lacey Road, Suite 9B, offers patients the exceptional care they deserve in the latest state-of-the-art facility by highly experienced and caring professionals.

Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists was originally founded by Dr. Scott Amoss in 2000 and was formerly located in Toms River. In 2005, seeing there was a great need for his ser vices in the area, Dr. Amoss relocated his practice to

Whiting. In February of 2014, with the need for more space to accommodate his expanding practice and to house newer, more technically advanced equipment, Advanced Foot & Ankle relocated to its present beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean and spacious facility.

The personable Dr. Amoss is a highly-educated professional who is a lifelong resident of the Jersey Shore. The happily married father of three studied and received an undergraduate degree in chemistry at Cook College at Rutgers University. He became a member of a National Chemistry Honor Society and worked for several years as a chemist before he decided to pursue a career in medicine. Dr. Amoss attended the New York College of Podiatric Medicine where he finished fourth in his class of over 100 graduates and subsequently graduated cum laude in 2000. He is also the recipient of many honors and accolades, including Deans List recognition during all four years while attending the New York College of Podiatric Medicine.

After completing a twoyear surgical residency at

William B. Kessler Memorial Hospital in Hammonton, New Jersey, Dr. Amoss received extensive training in fields such as orthopedics, vascular, plastic and reconstructive surgery, emergency medicine, dermatology and radiology.

Dr. Amoss was also on staff at the South Jersey Wound Care Center, the largest facility in South Jersey. His expertise and training has led him to be a Board Qualified Foot Surgeon by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery. He is also a Diplomat American Board of Podiatric Medicine as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Dr. Amoss is currently on staff at Community Medical Center in Toms River and the Manchester Surgery Center, where he performs inpatient and outpatient surgery. He is also a member of the New Jersey Podiatric Medical Society and American Podiatric Medical Association.

The impressive qualifications at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists are not limited to Dr. Amoss.

Those on his staff are all Certified Podiatric Medical Assistants through the American Society of Podiatric Medical Assistants. Dr. Amoss and

his team of professionals treat all of the common foot ailments including hammertoes, bunions, athletes’ foot, ingrown nails and heel pain. “We treat all ages and everything from the knee down,” said Dr. Amoss, including P.A.D., or peripheral arterial disease, a common circulatory problem which narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow, causing symptoms such as leg pain when walking. This condition can also reduce blood flow to your heart and brain, as well as your legs. Treatment for Achilles tendon, ankle instability, ankle sprains and sports injuries of the ankle and foot are also addressed.

The new facility also offers o n - site surger y, X-rays and biopsies, often finding sk in c anc e r that others may have missed.

“With diabetes being on the rise, proper foot care for those with diabetes is a major concern,” continued Dr. Amoss. “With a diabetic foot, a small wound can be slow to heal, lead to

infection and sometimes severe consequences including amputation.

However, at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, surgery is always a last resort.”

Although prestigious qualifications are always important when choosing a physician, impressive qualifications in the compassion department are of equal importance.

From the pleasant voice that answers your call to the smile that greets you as you walk through the door of Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, there is a genuine feeling of caring, concern and compassion. You are never just a number at Advanced Foot & Ankle.

Dr. Amoss and his dedicated team all agree that the most important and best part of their job is making a positive impact

on people’s lives. In short, their mission is “Making people feel better,” said Podiatric Assistant Kristen Valentino.

All of your foot care needs are taken care of at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, which also offers a large and stylish selection and expert fitting of orthopedic and diabetic shoes and sandals. They even carry specially formulated nail polish for those suffering from fungal infections. Extras and details such as these are what makes Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists stand out from the rest.

Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists PC is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call 732-350-0100 or visit them online at AdvFootandAnkle.com.

12 ounces (750 g) penne, or other tube-shaped dried pasta 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 4 ounces (125 g) fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and cut into bite-sized pieces 4 ounces oyster mushroom, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 3/4 pound broccolini or broccoli, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces 3 cloves double-blanched garlic (recipe follows), thinly sliced Pinch chopped fresh thyme leaves Pinch chopped fresh oregano leaves 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) good-quality canned chicken or vegetable stock or broth 1/2 cup (125 mL) balsamic-glazed shallots (recipe follows) 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese 8 fresh basil leaves, cut crosswise into julienne strips, for garnish Thinly shaved Parmesan cheese, for garnish Bring a large stockpot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time.

Meanwhile, heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Saute the mushrooms, stirring frequently, until golden-brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Stir in the broccolini, garlic, thyme and oregano. Add the stock and the shallots. Bring to a brisk simmer, stirring, until it reduces slightly. Whisk in the butter pieces until melted.

As soon as the penne is done, drain it and stir into the sauce. Stir in the grated Parmesan. Adjust the seasonings to taste.

Spoon the pasta and vegetables into 4 large, shallow serving bowls. Garnish with basil and shaved Parmesan. Serve immediately.

Garlic Kosher salt

DOUBLE-BLANCHED GARLIC As Needed

Fill a bowl with ice cubes and water. In a small saucepan, add enough water to cover the garlic you’ll be blanching. Salt lightly and bring to a boil.

Meanwhile, separate as many garlic cloves as needed. With a small, sharp knife, trim off both ends of each clove, leaving the peels on.

Carefully drop the garlic into the boiling water. Blanch for 30 seconds.

With a slotted spoon, remove the cloves and immediately plunge into the ice water.

Repeat the process with a fresh pan of boiling salted water, removing the garlic from the ice water and again immersing the cloves in the boiling water for 30 seconds before returning them to the ice water.

Drain the garlic and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. Slip off the peels and use as needed.

BALSAMIC-GLAZED SHALLOTS Makes about 2 cups (500 mL) 1 pound shallots, all about the same size 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) balsamic vinegar Peel the shallots. Cut in halves or quarters for pieces uniformly about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide.

In a 10- or 12-inch (25- or 30-cm) skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.

Add the shallots and saute until golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes, carefully turning with tongs so they don’t separate into smaller pieces.

Reduce the heat and add the butter. When it has melted, deglaze the pan with the vinegar. Raise the heat slightly and boil until the vinegar reduces by half, 7 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Transfer the contents of the skillet to a small baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake until the shallots are tender but still slightly crunchy, 10 to 12 minutes. Use as needed, cooling any unused glazed shallots and refrigerating in a covered container.
