9 Quick Hacks For Leg Cramps

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – The township would be utilizing a property registration company as part of their toolkit in managing the high number of abandoned properties here.

Chief Operating Officer Ted Mucellin of ProChamps made a pitch at a recent council meeting for his company, which requires responsible parties (usually banks) to register a foreclosed property with no cost to the community.

Mucellin said increased foreclosures and abandoned

Every Day: Dinosaur Rock is a new vendor that has museum quality dinosaur fossils, gems, ocean and insect exhibits. Kids can mine for imitation gold and gemstones.

RC Power Party is a vendor for people to rent remote controlled cars and trucks to race each other on a course that is set up.

A chainsaw carver will also be making a few sculptures a day, which will then be for sale. He will be attending the fair from Wednesday to Saturday.

Homes: Continued From Page 1 properties are a problem everywhere because it’s difficult for townships to track down who has the information on mortgages and deeds.

“It’s tough getting a hold of someone,” he said.

ProChamps was co-founded in 2008 by two army veterans, he said. They provide an interactive website to facilitate direct communication with property managers who are assigned to the community.

They are a for-profit company who have been hired by 300 communities nationwide, 70 of which are in New Jersey, Mucellin said.

In May the governing body passed an ordinance that would put the burden on banks to ensure that the abandoned structures do not become a blight or affect surrounding property values.

Banks would be responsible for registering the property with the township and would indicate whether the property is vacant.

The registry would be for properties that have been vacant for more than 30 days, or have had a cancellation of utility or service, whichever occurs first.

If the house is vacant, the bank would be responsible for designating a property manager to inspect, maintain and secure the property every 30 days.

The registry would include the name and contact information for the mortgagee and the for the property manager, and the physical location

Rides, Games and Food The fair will have the same ride vendor as they had last year, fair manager Jeff Adams said. This outfit is a family-run operation out of Englishtown, New Jersey.

Unlimited ride wristbands will be available for purchase on Thursday and Sunday.

The carnival-style food and games will also be throughout the ride area.

Animal Shows A county fair is not complete without animal shows. Unless noted, these will be running throughout the entire fair.

The 4-H will continue to showcase the animals they have raised and cared for, as well as other educational and artistic projects.

The Toms River Police Department and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department will both have K-9 demonstrations on Wednesday evening.

A pony ride will be available. The vendor is from Forked River.

Pig racing, a longtime staple, will return.

The owner of this company is from Jackson.

Marvelous Mutts will return, showing off dog tricks of agility, running, and diving.

Fair History The fair is in its 71st year. It started at the Ocean County Park in Lakewood, but outgrew it in the 1980s. It was then relocated to Berkeley Township where it resides today.

It used to be an agricultural show, for local farmers to show off their crops, Adams said.

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.

of the property manager during business hours.

As part of the contract, ProChamps would handle the record-keeping for all of the above, Mucellin said.

After a property is added to the township registry, the bank would pay a non-refundable semi-annual registration fee of $500 to offset the cost of registration enforcement, code enforcement, and other related purposes.

ProChamps would take $100 of every $500 registration fee for their services, Mucellin said, and the township keeps the remainder.

“We would collect the funds and our fee is no out-of-pocket cost to the township,” he said.

“We free up code enforcement officers so they can do their jobs instead of tracking down [mortgagees].”

In Brick there are 1,300 to 1,500 active foreclosures, Mucellin said, meaning “something’s been filed in the last year or two.”

In addition, there are 400 to 500 “possible foreclosures” in the past five or six years where nothing has been finalized or filed, he said.

“Foreclosures comes in waves,” he added.

New Jersey and Florida are the two states with the most foreclosures, Mucellin said. “We operate there the heaviest due to aggressive mortgage lending and economic disasters,” he said.

Brick is one of the top ten towns in the state for foreclosures, with Jersey City, Camden and Atlantic City being the top three.

The next council meeting will be on Tuesday July 10 at 7 p.m.

Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker

Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (DNJ), along with Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) introduced a bill that would establish a federal grant program to help support the memorials

dedicated to commemorating the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. The September 11th National Memorials Act creates a funding stream to support the security, maintenance and successful operations of The World Trade

From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) commended ten students from the Fourth Congressional District whom he nominated for acceptance to militar y ser vice academies and who will soon be leaving to attend the academies. The reception was hosted for the future cadets and midshipmen, and their families, as they

prepare for four years of school.

“It was hard work that got you here, it will take persistence, commitment, courage and devotion to God and our country to succeed,” Smith said to the nominees present at the forum. “And succeed you will - in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Merchant Marines.”

Bill to Help Korean DMZ Veterans Passes House the House of Representatives.

“The inclusion of the Fairness for Korean DMZ Veterans Act in the bill which passed the House today is a m ajor v ic t or y for our veterans ser ving at the Korea DMZ during the Vietnam era. I start-

ed working on this issue thanks to a meeting with Garfield Harper, a Korean DMZ veteran who lives in Burlington County. This is a major step in righting a wrong that far too many veterans have lived with for too long,” said Congressman Tom MacArthur

(R-3rd ). “As a cosponsor of the Blue Water Navy Viet nam Veterans Act, I am grateful to see this legislation pass. I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to provided quality care for our veterans.”

Bot h t he Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act and the Fairness for Korea n DM Z Vetera ns Act have received broad bipar tisan suppor t and have been backed by multiple veterans’ organizations including the VFW and the American Legion.

Bill Would Provide Funding for September 11th Memorial Sites Center site, the United 93 Memorial, and the Pentagon Memorial.

“The terrorist attacks of September 11th remain a vivid memory for all of us who saw a bright day turn into a living nightmare. As we remember those who perished on that dreadful day, we must back up our pledge to never forget with real action in support of the memorials erected in their honor,” said Sen. Menendez. “I’m proud to join Senator Booker to introduce legislation that will help keep our 9/11 memorials running smoothly and securely for every American who wishes to honor the memories of the mothers and fathers, brothers

and sisters, friends and neighbors we lost that day.”

“These memorial sites are the sacred ground where Americans come to remember, reflect, and pay their respects,” Sen. Booker said. “We must never forget the horror of that terrible day, the lives that were lost, and the people whose lives were forever changed. That’s why it’s incumbent on us to keep these sites secure and accessible to all Americans for generations to come.”

The World Trade Center site hosts over six million visitors each year; the United 93 Memorial and Pentagon Memorial each receive several hundred thousand. Each site runs important educational

programs that provide opportunities for students to learn about the tragic events of September 11th. Ongoing security and maintenance needs remain top concerns deserving of federal support.

Specifically, the September 11th National Memorials Act would: Authorize up to $25 million in annual funding to ensure the security, maintenance, and successful operations and educational programs at the memorials established to commemorate the events of September 11, 2001 Support continuing important policies such as free admission to all facilities for active and retired members of the military, registered

first responders to the attacks of September 11, 2001, and family members of victims of the attacks of September 11, 2001 Support dedicated free admission hours for the general public at least once a week Require grant recipients to provide to the Department of Interior and the public comprehensive financial disclosure information to ensure careful stewardship of taxpayer dollars This is the first time such legislation has been introduced in the Senate. A similar bill, introduced by Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-3rd), was passed by the US House in 2016.

Ten Local Students To Attend Military Academies The ten nominees will be attending the U.S. Militar y Academy at West Po i n t , Ne w Yo r k , t h e U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, the U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colorado, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York.

“The dream - for some a lifelong dream - now begins,” Smith said.

At the ceremony attended by Capt. Pierre Fuller, Commanding Officer of Naval Weapons Station Earle, Smith presented

each of the nominees with an American Flag f lown over the U.S. Capitol in their honor.

Capt. Fuller shared some insightf ul anecdotes about militar y ser vice.

“You’ve chosen to serve in our military, and for that I congrat ulate you and thank you,” he told the f ut ure cadets and midshipmen.

Acceptance to the service academies is conti ngent upon receivi ng a congressional nomination. In Congress, Smith h a s n o m i n a t e d 1, 0 2 9

women and men to the s e r v ic e a c a d e m ie s , of whom 248 have graduated from or attended the academies.

WIDE ASLEEP

As confounding as it may seem, it is estimated that 20% of the population sleeps with their eyes open. The medical term for this inability to close the eyelids completely during sleep, “nocturnal lagophthalmos,” occurs as a result of problems with facial nerves or muscles that make it difficult to keep the eyes fully closed. Problems with skin surrounding the eyelids may also play a role. As a result of this eyelid difficulty, those affected wake up with the feeling of dryness and graininess in their eyes. Other symptoms include eye redness, blurred vision, light sensitivity, scratchiness, and poor sleep quality. One surgical treatment for nocturnal lagophthalmos involves the insertion of an implant that serves as an eyelid weight.

Some doctors believe that the incidence of lagophthalmos is increasing, possibly due in part to the growing popularity of surgeries such as blepharoplasty. If performed incorrectly, this procedure can cause lagophthalmos or worsen an existing case. To schedule an eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732349-5622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

Adult Book Discussion

POINT PLEASANT BEACH – The Point Pleasant Beach Branch will host a book discussion on A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah on July 24 at 7 p.m.

The book is a firsthand account of Beah’s time as a child soldier during the civil war in Sierra Leone. Beah ran away from his village at the age of 12 after it was attacked by rebels, and he became forever separated from his immediate family. He wandered the war-filled country and was forced to join an army unit who brainwashed him into using guns

and drugs. By 13, he had perpetuated and witnessed a great deal of violence.

At the age of 16, however, UNICEF removed him from the unit and put him into a rehabilitation program. There he was able to find his uncle that would adopt him. With the help of some of the staff he was able to return to a civilian life and get off drugs. He was then given an opportunity to teach others about child soldiers. He traveled the United States recounting his story.

Children of OCEAN, Inc. Head Start Receive Grant From United Way

OCEAN COUNTY – Children at OCEAN, Inc. Head Start Centers will become Kindergarten ready thanks to recent funding totaling $35,000 from United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

The grant award will fund the OCEAN, Inc. Summer Literacy Program, which provides summer learning and enrichment activities for children from disadvantaged families who are entering kindergarten in fall of 2018.

The goal of the program is to reach students from disadvantaged families who would not otherwise have access to these summer learning and enrichment opportunities without this funding and program.

The Literacy Program will focus on enhancing the reading readiness and literacy skills of 35 children who have been identified as having an economic and academic need. The family literacy-focused summer reading program will enable OCEAN, Inc. to meet important child de-

velopment needs, while providing a safe and nurturing environment for children to grow and will minimize the risk of school failure for participants by assisting them in developing positive, healthy attitudes towards reading and learning.

“It is the mission of this agency to provide quality, comprehensive services that assist our disadvantaged residents (children),” said OCEAN, Inc. president/ CEO Channell Wilkins. “We are extremely thankful to United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties for the funding they provided, which helps us raise the quality of life for the children in our community.”

United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties mobilizes donors, volunteers, and community partners to improve the lives of youth and their families. They strive to ensure that every child is successful, every family is financially stable and every community is strong.

Snooki And Her Friends Return To Seaside For Jersey Shore Reunion Show

By Jennifer Peacock SEASIDE HEIGHTS – The crew bid “Gym, Tan, Laundry” to where their vacations began, one last time.

MTV’s Jersey Shore made a stop in Seaside Heights last week, to film scenes for its upcoming continued season 8, which premiers in August. The show’s official Instagram account, @jerseyshoremtvnews, showed three photos of cast and crew at the famous house.

Borough administrator Christopher Vaz confirmed that the show had a two-day

permit to film scenes for its upcoming season. He said a limited permit was issued to 495 Productions to film those two days at the Jersey Shore house, Jersey Shore T-Shirt store, and Casino Pier.

“The subject of the filming was to stop by the house to celebrate two of the cast members’ birthdays and say goodbye to the house and then visit Casino Pier to observe the post-Sandy improvements before the cast moves to its new Jersey Shore home and location for the balance of the show’s filming season,” Vaz told

Jersey Shore Online.

Vaz did say the borough told the production company that it remains disinterested in having the show filmed in Seaside Heights on any long term or regular basis.

“However, there was an internal consensus that based on the nature of the f ilming mater ial…and the fact that filming activities occurred mid-week before our busy summer season kicks into fourth gear, we could issue a limited f ilming per mit,” Vaz said. “We

were swayed in large part, by a desire to say ‘thank you’ to the cast for raising money during their Restore The Shore Telethon that was used to purchase our two performance stages and Boardwalk sun shade structures.”

“Will be interesting to learn what Jersey Shore community the cast is moving on to,” Vaz added.

There’s little information on what the second part of season 8 offers. MTV’s promo simply states “s**t gets real with the return of jersey shore.”

What to Expect after a Total Knee Replacement A Physical Therapy Perspective

By: Joel Maietta, DPT, Brick Physical Therapist and Facility Manager DOES THE IDEA OF A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT SCARE YOU? While the thought of having a total knee replacement sounds daunting and arduous, there are many misconceptions regarding rehabilitation following the surgery. Often people run (not literally) from the idea of having this surgery because they hear horror stories of painful therapy sessions and a long grueling recovery period. However, with proper education, motivation, and the guidance of a skilled rehabilitation team, recovery should be nothing to worry about.

WHY DO PEOPLE NEED TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENTS? The primary reason people require a total knee replacement is to rid their knee of a painful condition called Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis develops when the

process begins right away in the hospital following surgery when a skilled physical therapist begins showing you the proper technique for getting out of bed, getting up from chairs, and even walking with the use of a walker! Many are surprised that these once painful activities now feel easier and more comfortable!

Once the medical staff and rehabilitation team determine you can move around safely and have proper support at home you will be discharged from the hospital. Most people only end up staying in the hospital for a few days.

In some cases additional medical monitoring is needed and you may be placed in a rehabilitation hospital in which you will receive guided Physical and Occupational Therapy while under the supervision of doctors and nurses. This stay usually lasts a few days to a week and then you are allowed to return to your household.

Once you have made it back to your home your doctor may or may not request a therapist visit your home for a few days to continue with exercises and assist with daily activity training. Following a few home therapy sessions your doctor will direct you to begin Outpatient Physical Therapy at a facility of your choice.

HOW DO I CHOOSE WHERE TO GO FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY FOLLOWING A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT?

smooth cartilage that cushions your joint starts to break down resulting in stiffness, pain, and that “grinding” sensation you feel in your knee. Unfortunately, our bodies are unable to reproduce adequate cartilage to repair the lost cushioning. As a result, a surgeon must often times perform surgery to replace these painful joint surfaces with artificial materials. This allows for the return of smooth, pain-free motion in your knee.

WHAT DOES REHABILITATION CONSIST OF AFTER A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT? The key to a successful recovery is early exercise and activity to facilitate the healing process and prevent stiffness in the knee. Our bodies are amazing healers and immediately start repairing following the surgery with the production of scar tissue. However, movement directs the alignment of this new scar tissue, so the earlier and more often you begin moving, the easier your recovery will be! Therefore, the rehabilitation

When choosing a facility for this phase of rehabilitation it is important to research your options by talking to doctors and previous patients to find the place that is right for you.

Outpatient Physical Therapy is your final step to a full recovery and also the longest step. That being said it is important to find a place where you feel safe, comfortable, and where all your goals and needs will be heard and attended to.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WITH MY OUTPATIENT REHABILITATION FOLLOWING A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT?

on specific techniques to improve the mobility of your knee to allow you to move with the least amount of pain possible. Once your mobility and strength start to improve, other activities are included to improve your ability to walk without any assistive devices as well as exercises to allow you to walk up and down stairs. Most people are able to walk without a cane or walker as early as 4-6 weeks after their surgery! Your Therapist will also discuss any additional goals you may have including returning to activities such as golf, tennis, and swimming. These are all realistic goals which can be attained with proper guidance by your Therapist.

At All-Care Physical Therapy we specialize in innovative approaches to make your recovery from a Total Knee Replacement as painless and enjoyable as possible. Our friendly staff and skilled therapists will attend to your every need and get you back to your life, so fear not the dreaded Total Knee Replacement!

He has completed clinical rotations in acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, and outpatient orthopedic settings.

You will be spending 2-3 days a week in physical therapy for sessions lasting around one hour, however it is expected that you perform home exercises daily because the time spent in therapy alone is not enough for a full and functional recovery. In the facility, a skilled Physical Therapist will work with you to further improve your ability to straighten and bend your knee as well as progress the strength of your whole leg.

Park: Continued From Page 1 3 and would be moving north towards Brick Beaches 2 and 1, he said. Replenishment began when workers started setting up the pipes there on April 7.

Workers would be fencing off 1,000 feet of beach to close off the area that is being replenished, but beaches will remain open during construction.

“Now there are two boats which are moving quickly,” Ducey said. “They can do 100 to 200 feet a day, so we want everyone to be aware that sections of the beach will be closed for a period of time.”

The Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) said that the Brick beaches should be complete

by August 16, but the mayor noted that the trend has been that for every week, the boats get backed up three days.

“So it’s probably more likely to be done

by September 7,” he said.

In March 2017, the ACE announced the construction schedule for the beach replenishment project (that stretches from the Manasquan Inlet to Island Beach State Park) with Brick construction scheduled to start in December 2017 and finishing in March 2018.

Weeks Marine of Cranford, NJ was contracted for the 14-mile-long, $128 million project, one of the nation’s biggest beach replenishment projects to date.

An estimated 11 million cubic yards of sand would be dredged for the project, with an estimated 1.6 million cubic yards needed for Brick beaches.

The dredger/hopper ships, which dredge the sand from one of the designated offshore “borrow sites,” pump the sand and slurry mix through a pipeline to the beach where it is screened for military munitions that might have been sitting on the ocean floor after being dumped at sea. The ships carry around 2,500 cubic yards per trip.

In other news, Precise Construction Inc. of Freehold won the bid to rebuild Bernard J. Cooke Park in the amount of $1,613,668.

The bids ranged as high as $2,117,000, Ducey said.

The park is located at the end of Burnt Tavern Road, behind the Wawa by Garden State Parkway entrance 91. The administration waited until the Parkway improvements were completed before beginning the park renovation.

The scope of the work includes parking lot improvements, a concrete skate park, basketball courts, age-specific playgrounds, a multi-purpose softball field, concrete patio areas, walkways, lighting and electrical improvements, an irrigation system and associated well and other site improvements.

A unique feature of the improved Bernie Cooke Park is the construction of a concrete “trike path,” a safe, designated space complete with road signs to teach toddlers the rules of the road.

The cost of park upgrades would partly be funded by a Green Acres Grant. According

Horoscope See Page 27

The Brick Times, July 7, 2018, Page 15 to township grant writer Tara Paxton, a $1 million grant was awarded to offset the cost of improvements to Birchwood Park (completed), Bernie Cooke Park and Bayside Park on the barrier island.

“We are Urban Aid, so our grant is 75% state funded ($1 million) and 25% local match ($250,000),” Paxton wrote in an email.

When improvements to Bernie Cooke are

completed, the township can submit for full reimbursement on the cost of just that park and use all the funding, she said.

“Since Birchwood is complete, we can also use that total expenditure and some of Bernie Cooke to make our match,” Paxton wrote. “Either way, between the two parks, we will use all the funds.”

And finally, Ducey said that Earle Asphalt Company of Farmingdale was selected for

the roadway improvements to Birchwood Park Phase 2 project. Six companies submitted bids that ranged in amounts of the awarded bid of $593,013 to $779,977, he said.

The project consists of resurfacing Orangewood Drive, Orangewood Court, Elmwood Drive, Elmwood Court, Elmwood Place, Oakwood Drive, Sprucewood Drive and Larchwood Drive.

Meeting The Needs Of Geriatrics With Hearing Impairment

Hearing loss is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions affecting geriatrics in the United States. Frequently, hearing loss goes unnoticed or its impact is underestimated since hearing loss is an “invisible handicap.” Untreated hearing loss has the potential to negatively affect interpersonal relationships, increase stress and fatigue, cause depression, frustration, anger, low self-esteem and a sense of isolation. It has been well documented that proper treatment, intervention strategies and support services can eradicate undesirable effects of a hearing impairment.

The National Institute on Deafness and Communication Disorders (NJDCD) suggests the following questions to help with the identification of a hearing loss: 1. Do people complain that you turn the television or radio too high? 2. Do you find yourself asking people to repeat? 3. Do you misunderstand what others are saying and respond inappropriately? 4. Do you have trouble following a conversation when two or more people are talking at the same time?

Recognizing the signs of hearing loss and making the appropriate referral to hearing health care professionals is the next step.

Audiologists can perform a complete hearing evaluation to verify that hearing loss exists, describe the type and cause, explain the degree of hearing loss, evaluate the impact of hearing loss on the individual and family members and recommend appropriate treatment strategies. Quite often, it is difficult to communicate with the hearing impaired individual. Some communication strategies and methods that are often successful in communicating with the hearing impaired

individual include: a) Getting the person’s attention before speaking. b) Facing the listener while speaking. c) Maintaining eye contact. d) Allowing adequate light to fall on the face of the speaker. e) Using facial expressions and features to convey the meaning. f) Speaking clearly, a little more slowly and in short sentences. g) Speaking in a normal tone of voice.

Caregivers and/or family members should consider the auditory needs of the elderly person with the hearing loss in one to one and group communication environments.

When hearing loss has been identified, caregivers should explore alternatives for compensating the loss and maintaining adequate communication strategies. These options may include hearing aids and other assistive listening devices as well as modification of their environment. In addition to hearing aids, auxiliary aid options include pocket talkers, FM personal systems, induction loops, infrared systems and telephone equipment, including TTYs. In addition, for the severely hearing impaired, visual and vibrating warning systems (smoke alarms, door bells and alarm clocks), caption television; real-time captioning and computer desk assisted note taking are available. Environmental modifications such as eliminating or reducing background noise and visual distractions, removing visual objects which obstruct the view of the listener and sound proofing rooms (e.g. using acoustic tiling, draperies and carpeting), managing room temperature, arranging for comfortable seating and sitting in a circle, all contribute to an improved listening environment.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

9 Quick Hacks For Leg Cramps

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Some of you have to jump out of bed really fast to mitigate a leg cramp, usually in the back of the calf, or in your thigh.

Leg cramps are not only painful, but they are a leading cause of fitful sleeping, insomnia and daytime fatigue. They speak to bigger problems too, such as dehydration, nutritional deficiencies and sometimes depression. This is because the root cause might be due to an imbalance in one of several key minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc or sodium.

Today my article will help you deal more effectively with nocturnal leg cramps so you can sleep through the night and feel better during the day. Now, here are a few of the best hacks for leg cramps: Avoid sorbitol There’s an interesting case study about a 34-year old woman who put herself on a diet that consisted of low sorbitol (and low fructose). She essentially cured herself of long-standing leg cramps within a few weeks.

Reduce aspirin and ibuprofen Many NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are known to be drug muggers of natural folate. A deficiency of this B vitamin will produce chronic leg cramps.

Take CoQ10 with your statin If you take a statin like lovastatin, atorvastatin or others, you should be taking CoQ10 or Ubiquinol every day.

Avoid large doses of vitamin C If you take too much vitamin C, it can

upset your stomach and cause diarrhea.

Then you’re faced with dehydration and that’s a trigger for leg cramps.

Cut back on caffeine Caffeine is a diuretic, so it causes mild dehydration. You may have noticed that on days you drink a lot of coffee, or have several energy drinks, you have more leg cramps. Not only that, but the chlorogenic acid in coffee is a drug mugger for magnesium, iron and zinc.

Drink Coconut Water This is a natural electrolyte, and I think it’s healthier for you than those strangely colored drinks that are loaded with sugar and artificial colors.

Heat up a microwavable hot pack Heat one of these up and it’s sweet relief on your sore muscles. You can heat it up right after you cramp, and apply it to ease the pain faster.

Drink a little pickle juice This should not help, but it actually does.

It’s probably from the salt in the flavoring or from the vinegar. The salt would help with electrolyte balance, the vinegar might serve as a mild muscle relaxant.

Try a massager The hand-held devices that provide percussion might bring instant relief. There are many at Brookstone, or on Amazon such as the Pure-Wave CM7 Cordless Massager.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Have You Lost Your Manners?

Dear Joel, I’m sure I’m speaking for a lot of people. Every summer, we have many out of town visitors, but some of them seem to have forgotten to pack their manners.

They complain about the shampoo, the coffee, and what’s in the fridge. They leave laundry around, mess up the bathroom, and stay up all hours talking on their phones. They need little items like suntan lotion and water. C’mon, I’m a home owner, not a hotel owner. I really don’t mind having guests, but I how can I get them to behave?

Answer My wife and I like to head trouble off before it happens so she prepares a welcome basket, with some hotel-sized shampoos and body lotions, some snacks and a pair of sunglasses. Along with the goodies we tuck a little ‘Welcome to our Home’ book, with important informa-

tion like phone numbers, passwords, etc. along with the names and addresses of local pharmacies, Walmart, grocery stores, etc. This way guests will be able to pick up supplies without raiding or criticizing ours. The book also gives them our guidelines about work schedules, neighborhood rules, etc. It’s a subtle way to let them know what we expect from them. Finally we have a mini dorm-room style fridge, so our guests can have their favorite drinks and foods. If they still run wild in your home, remind them that they are guests and hopefully they’ll behave that way.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Ripped Off? Now What?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Michael J. Deem of R.C. Shea and Associates Have you been ripped off by a car dealer, a home improvement contractor or some other business? Remember, there is no such thing as a “free lunch.” Anytime someone tries to sell you something, you should take everything they say with a grain of salt. This is particularly true when you purchase a car, buy a home, hire someone to remodel your house, pay for any other type of goods and/or services, and particularly where you are entering into some type of written agreement.

Unfortunately, we live in a society today where some businesses make claims or representations that turn out not to be true or omit to tell you an important item, for example, that an automobile has been in a severe prior accident or a home has a wet basement. Make no mistake, fraud is rampant in New Jersey. The Division of Consumer Affairs reports that the largest source of complaints concern car dealers and home improvement contractors. However there are other dishonest businesses that rip off consumers for small amounts of money – which add up to a lot of profits for the business. When the amount is small, you may think that your damages are too small to hire an attorney and may not be worth the time to do something about it.

The New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act Fortunately, New Jersey has a remedy – the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act- is the strongest consumer protection law in the nation. If you have been the victim of a misrepresentation, deception, fraud, false pretense or the omission of an important material fact, you may be entitled to three times your damages plus payment of your attorney’s fees by the defendant business if you have suffered the loss of money.

The Consumer Fraud Act covers almost every sale of merchandise and services. The purpose of the Act is to promote honesty and fair dealing in the marketplace. For example, any affirmative misrepresentation by a seller results in liability regardless of whether the representation was made in good faith or negligently. Businesses are presumed to have a superior knowledge of the goods and services that they sell as well as superior knowledge of the laws and regulations that govern your business. Accordingly, they are

strictly liable for committing consumer fraud.

The purpose of the Act is to encourage private attorneys to represent Michael J. Deem consumers in disputes that involve small damages otherwise consumers would not be able to obtain representation.

The defendant is required to pay the successful consumer’s attorney’s fees and costs.

An Ounce Of Prevention Is Worth A Pound Of Cure When you deal with a home-improvement contractor or other seller, try to limit the amount that you make as a down payment.

The more money that pay a contractor upfront, the greater the risk they will delay the job, not return to finish the work, or not make corrections. There have been many stories where a contractor took a deposit and never returned to start the job or only did a little work and never returned.

When purchasing a used car, you should always get a CARFAX and you should always take the vehicle to your trusted mechanic and have it tested. Make sure that any verbal representations that are made by the dealer are put in writing. Always read the agreement! Many times, the agreements contain paragraphs that limit the liability of the seller, require you to give up consumer protection rights, or say things that are completely opposite from that which the seller has verbally promised. Although “Buyer Beware” is not the law in New Jersey, not reading or understanding the terms of the agreement you sign is no defense—the seller is not required to explain the agreement and you cannot rely on the verbal representations when entering into a written contract.

The litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C. Shea & Associates handle consumer fraud claims on a contingency basis. If there is no recovery, there is no fee. You are not asked to pay any attorney’s fees upfront because if we are successful, the defendant seller will pay your fees. Call us for a free consultation: 732-505-1212.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Local Company Recalls Product From ShopRite Shelves

By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – Almost 11,000 pounds of canned chicken gravy have been recalled from shelves by Vineland based company, Aunt Kitty’s Foods, due to underprocessing.

Aunt Kitty’s Foods produces canned chicken gravy for ShopRite, as well as under other brand names including Price Rite and Western Beef.

The US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspections stated that on June 19 numerous cans were discovered to show signs of bulging, an indication of underprocessing.

The cans were reportedly produced on April 4.

The recall was issued on June 26 as was attributed to problems in the labeling process, according to the Department.

The affected products are listed as the follow-

ing 10.5 ounce cans: • “ShopRite Chicken GRAVY” with lot code 1809515, 1809525, 1809535, and 1809545 and a best by date of June 2021.

• “Price Rite Chicken GRAVY” with lot code 1809515, 1809525, 1809535, and 1809545 and a best by date of June 2021.

• “Western Beef Chicken GRAVY” with lot codes 1809515, 1809525, 1809535, and

1809545 and a best by date of June 2021.

The Department recommends customers throw the cans away or return them to the stores where they were purchased.

Essential Oils For Seasonal Allergies

By Grace Orosza, RN-BC, CCAP, Integrative Nurse Practitioner When I was growing up in Chicago, I can vividly remember how I looked forward to the change of seasons – ALL FOUR OF THEM! The mid-west was an open, clean, fresh place to live. I spent most of my free time outdoors. We almost never played inside. We had many wonderful forest preserves, lakes and hiking paths. I loved being in nature.

At the time, I was unaware of how pollen and grasses affected people. I never had a problem with any seasonal allergies. However, I knew several people that did. I would privately make fun of them, in my mind. I just could not believe that people could be suffering so miserably with allergies, hay fever, sinusitis etc. It seemed almost “too dramatic” for me. However, I tried to understand how maybe it affected them and make an effort to be sympathetic. They were always going for Sinus X-rays, CT Scans and using a plethora of antihistamines, decongestants and steroidal sprays and inhalers.

Then, about 27 years ago, I moved to the East Coast. Initially the seasons were pretty much the same, but not for long. Everything started to change. Perhaps the unhealthy climate changes, our polluted environment and dramatic fluctuations in the barometric pressure contributed to my newly developing allergy symptoms: sinus pressure, headaches, congestion, sneezing, phlegm and an annoying cough. OH BROTHER, NOT ME, I thought!

I found myself in the same position as I mentioned above – blame KARMA! There I was with a cabinet full of all the over the counter (OTC) allergy medications you could imagine, and pretty much addicted to Sudafed. Then I just could not stand taking those chemicals anymore. They made me feel so crummy! Can anybody relate?

It was about that time that I had a personal and spiritual awakening, about my health and my life... I knew I needed to be more mindful of looking for a natural and holistic approach to treating this condition, as well as in my life in general.

This is when I started using Essential Oils to treat my sinus and upper respiratory symptoms.

I use them religiously and have to say that I cannot remember the last time I took an OTC

allergy medication.

Allergens trigger symptoms in the nose, throat, lungs, ears and sinuses. Therefore, I thought perhaps you might like to try something a little different if you suffer with these symptoms.

I diffuse essential oils in my home almost constantly. I switch up my essential oil choices depending on the time of year and the symptoms I have. Here a few tips that might help you too!

First, find yourself a moderately priced diffuser with an ultrasonic cool mist humidifier.

They hold anywhere from 150 ml – 500 ml of water. Be sure to get one that has a timer and an automatic shutoff.

Lavender Essential Oil works as a natural antihistamine and possesses strong anti-inflammatory properties that will treat and relieve most allergic reactions.

Peppermint Essential Oil is strong, fresh and minty and opens clogged sinuses almost immediately. It also has anti-inflammatory, pain relieving and decongestant relieving abilities.

It opens airways and relieves a scratchy throat.

Holy Basil Essential Oil reduces the inflammatory response of allergens, and supports our immune system overall. It has antimicrobial abilities and can remove toxins from our system, as well as clear airways.

Eucalyptus Essential Oil opens up the sinus and lungs, therefore improving circulation, which reduces the symptoms of allergies. It works as an expectorant, but also has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

Lemon Essential Oil works as a natural antihistamine relieving excess mucous and cools down inflammatory reaction. It also helps with respiratory conditions. Lemon is also known for its anti-bacterial properties.

It’s best used in a blend with Lavender and Peppermint.

Depending on the capacity of your diffuser, use 2-5 drops of any of these oils mentioned, in whatever combination you like. You could also use 1 drop of each of these oils on a tissue and just directly inhale deeply. Experiment to find the combination that gives you the most relief.

As a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist, this affirms for me that this is the best treatment for so many ailments. Here’s hoping that this information brings you some healthier options for relief this allergy season.

By Jason Allentoff TOMS RIVER – Bob Levy, the Ocean County radio icon who was there when WOBM signed on the air 50 years ago, was recently honored with a special ceremony in Downtown Toms River.

Levy died on March 1st at the age of 86, which was also the anniversary of the radio signal’s launch. He helped build the station and was an integral part of its success.

Toms River officials along with Bob’s wife Marianne, family, friends, fans and many of Bob’s co-workers attended the unveiling of “Bob Levy Way.” It’s the street that runs behind Toms River Town Hall near the Townsquare Media headquarters.

WOBM’s Kevin Williams, who has been with the station almost 40 years, gave a short speech. He recalls Bob fondly.

“Bob was the person who hired me 39 years ago and for that entire time was a co-worker, confidant, mentor and friend.

His impact on WOBM is immeasurable.

He was the original employee and for 50 years, did just about everything you can do in the radio business from sports

director to host and general manager.”

Williams also described Bob as unique saying “if Bob were alive today, he would likely complain that it wasn’t a more well-known street like Washington Street or Hooper Avenue. The good news is no one will complain about the traffic on Bob Levy Way.” Mayor Tom Kelaher and Councilman Maurice “Mo” Hill also spoke and the ceremony.

Marianne Levy, Bob’s wife and radio co-host, fought back tears. She said “He made me who I am today. He was always about community. If anyone asked him for anything, he never hesitated or said no. He never asked for anything in return. Never wanted any kind of recognition. Never wanted to be put on a pedestal. Well, guess what Bob, you’re on a pole today.”

In March, the Township Council passed a resolution to name the street in honor of Bob’s 50 years of service to the community.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of july 7 - JUly 13

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may begin the week with extra energy and a willingness to explore uncharted waters and new relationships. Outside influences can’t rock a rock-solid relationship based on mutual trust.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Love fits you like a glove. Your interest in the world around may attract people from diverse backgrounds, but you may attract that special someone you have been looking for as well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you perform a job well, you expect to enjoy recognition and adequate compensation.

Your efforts might be rewarded with more responsibilities and more tasks this week.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Whether it is a pat on the back or a foot in the door use warmth and assertiveness to your advantage this week. Get plenty of exercise and stay fit especially if you work at a desk all day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Nobody remembers people who just go through the motions. The person who goes the extra mile for perfection wins praise. Don’t be shy about showing off your abilities and skills this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Welcome exciting new ideas and talented people into your life in the week ahead. A chance meeting may bring you face-to-face with an ex-

tremely attractive or highly popular person.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Loyalty as well as patriotism may be tested in the week ahead. An exciting schedule of social activities may extend your network of contacts and friends. You may face the unexpected.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Use your social skills to put others at ease. Share your enthusiasms, hopes, and wishes with those you hold near and dear. This could be a good week to solidify key relationships.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A change of plans is not necessarily an obstacle to achieving your ambitions this week.

There could be something going on behind the scenes that help you come out ahead financially.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your ambitious work ethic may win the notice of those in charge as this week unfolds. At the same time, your newfound success may spark a touch of envy in some colleagues.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t give up too soon. Success may follow a series of failures. The faster you get preliminary mistakes and errors out of the way this week, the sooner you can enjoy the rewards.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may not need to look far to receive the encouragement and support to get ahead. An adventure could await you if you stray from the beaten path in the upcoming week.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Berry Sweet: Enjoy Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream At Your Independence Day Celebration

By Wolfgang Puck FRESH SUMMER STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM Makes about 2 1/2 quarts (about 2.5 L) For the strawberry compote: 4 pints (2 L) ripe strawberries, hulled 1 3/4 cups (435 mL) granulated sugar 1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh lemon juice 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise For the ice cream base: 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise 2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream 2 cups (500 mL) milk 8 large egg yolks 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar To serve: Lightly whipped cream Sliced fresh strawberries For the compote, in a 2-quart (2-liter) nonreactive saucepan, combine the berries, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla bean. Cook over medium-high heat for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally and gently breaking down the berries into a coarse puree while also regularly skimming off the foam that forms on top. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes longer. Set aside at room temperature.

For the ice cream base, first use the back edge of a

small knife blade to carefully scrape the seeds from each half of the split vanilla bean, reserving both the seeds and the pod halves. In a large saucepan combine the cream, milk, vanilla bean pod halves and vanilla bean seeds; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Meanwhile, in a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar. Then, while whisking the yolks continuously, gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the yolks until fully incorporated.

Near the stove, rest a wire-meshed sieve on the rim of a large, clean, heatproof bowl. Fill a larger bowl halfway with a mixture of ice cubes and water.

Return the egg yolk-cream mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. Quickly strain the mixture through the sieve. Stir in the reserved compote. Rest the bowl inside the larger bowl of ice and water, taking care that none splashes into the ice cream mixture. Chill the mixture, stirring occasionally, until cold.

Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer’s directions. Transfer it to 1 or 2 chilled freezer-proof containers, cover with plastic wrap or lids, and place in the freezer.

If the ice cream has frozen solid, remove the container or containers from the freezer about 30 minutes before serving. Place 1 or 2 scoops into each chilled serving bowl. Pass bowls of softly whipped cream and sliced fresh strawberries to add to each serving as desired.
