Howell Homeless Encampment Purchased

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – The homeless in Howell will be homeless once again following the June 20 auction that sold the land they reside on to the highest bidder.

Dr. Richard H. Roberts was the highest bidder at $1,603,000, according to township manager Brian Geoghegan. The bid is currently pending acceptance which will be discussed at the next council meeting on July 17. Once accepted, the sale can be finalized, he said.

“As of this point there have been no details worked out for the home-

less camp. The township has been working with them and coordinating access with Monmouth County Social Services to ensure they are receiving any benefits that may be entitled to,” added Geoghegan.

According to Minister Steve Brigham of the Destiny’s Bridge homeless encampment, Dr. Richard H. Roberts also owns the land next door to the camp, which is located at 5998 Route 9 in Howell.

the homeless camp to set up shop on the township property.

“That resolution also provided that the township would provide 30 days’ notice to vacate,” he said.

Since that time, the homeless encampment has been residing on that plot of land. On April 17 of this year, the council put the property up for sale. The day following the resolution’s passing, the township notified the encampment in writing of the intent to sell. The township then held an auction on June 20 where prospective buyers could bid on the township property.

As of r ight now, the 12 homeless camp residents that had been living on the land for the last year will not have anywhere to go once they vacate, according to Brigham.

The potential buyer reportedly plans to give each of the 12 residents $1,000 compensation each for moving off the land. However, Brigham noted that this amount will only last them a week or two in a hotel. He said what they need to focus on are “sustainable” solutions.

Since the bid was made, a Howell resident and long-time supporter of the camp Cheryl Copp-Eins, established a GoFundMe Me page on June 24 to raise $25,000 for the displaced residents. As of June 28, the site has raised $4,290 from 26 people.

“They have nowhere to go and no real

atmosphere at the Home and Garden Competition. Along with baked goods, vegetables, flowers and arts and craft pieces, there will also be beekeeping, gardening and pottery demonstrations.

If you’re a history buff, there is something at the fair for you too. Visit the Living History Tent and meet with staff from the Park System’s Historic Walnford in Upper Freehold and Historic Longstreet Farm in Holmdel. Discover the county’s rich agricultural history through hands-on activities, demonstrations and exhibits.

Hours are 5-11 p.m. Wed-Fri and 3-11 p.m., Sat., 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Sun. Admission is $8 per person; children 12 and under are free.

money to start their journey with. I would like to see if there are some people who will donate money so they may each have a monetary start in relocating and surviving,” she stated in the GoFundMe bio. “The prospective buyer offered 1k [$1,000] which is 2 weeks in a hotel, and raising 25k [$25,000] could provide housing for a year for each 12, a used vehicle to get to work, most are in bikes, and a bit of a savings to make sure they can sustain their housing.”

Brigham expressed his gratitude, telling The Howell Times that Copp-Eins has always been very supportive of the camp, even taking them out to dinner.

While Brigham and the residents are grateful for all the help they have been given, he is realistic of what’s to come once the residents are officially off the land.

“Its [the $1,000 compensation] is a drop in the bucket as far as housing goes,” he said.

Despite most of the camp’s residents having jobs, they are simply not earning enough to exist in the current society and housing market, said Brigham, explaining that it takes about $21 per hour to be able to afford to live.

“It’s really not their fault,” he added.

Some residents will be going to Social Services to try and get assistance once they leave the land. However, what they really need is time. Brigham said he plans to attend the July 17 meeting to request of the council a little more time to figure out a living situation for the residents.

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!

families, as they prepare for four years of school.

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 Marines.”

The ten nominees will be attending the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, the 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 Na-

val Weapons Station Earle, Smith presented each of the nominees with an American Flag flown over the U.S. Capitol in their honor.

Capt. Fuller shared some insightful anecdotes about military service. “You’ve chosen to serve in our military, and for that I congratulate you and thank you,” he told the future cadets and midshipmen.

Acceptance to the service academies is contingent upon receiving a congressional nomination. In Congress, Smith has nominated 1,029

women and men to the service academies, of whom 248 have graduated from or attended the academies.

The following students from New Jersey’s Fourth Congressional District received appointments to the service academies listed: • Peter Garlisi, Hamilton Township, Air Force • Daniel Lisle, Tinton Falls, Air Force • Pareena Patel, Howell, Air Force • Quincy Zawadzky, Brielle, Air Force

approval f rom a judge.

According to the New Jersey Department of Health, more than 3,600 minors got married in New Jersey between 1995 and 2015.

BUNIONETTES

A bunionette is similar to a bunion except it develops on the opposite side of the foot at the base of the small toe. Most often this bony protuberance is the result of excess pressure that causes inflammation, swelling, and bone misalignment.

Bunionettes enlarge slowly and can sometimes be treated non-surgically. Changing shoes to ones with a roomier toe box may ease pressure and/or discomfort. When a bunionette becomes large or painful, it should be evaluated by a podiatrist. A physical examination of the foot and X-rays of the affected area can help determine the best surgical procedure to correct the problem. Healing time can vary but usually requires post-surgical foot protection such as a boot or splint.

There is no reason to suffer and continue to experience discomfort from bunionettes, fallen arches, deformed toes, heel pain, toenail problems, and the other myriad conditions that can affect your feet. At FAMILY FOOT HEALTH CENTER, you’ll receive the highest quality medical foot care coupled with the personal attention you expect and deserve. Our approach is conservative, gentle, and caring at 4527 US Highway 9, and we welcome your call, (732) 370-1100, for an appointment for family footcare.

HINT: Bunionette surgery may not be the best option for patients with poor circulation since problems with wound or bone healing can occur.

Bush formidable in net: Former Central

Officials Urge Boater Safety MONMOUTH COUNTY – As temperatures soar the upcoming week, many will take to the waterways. Sheriff Golden not only wants beachgoers to take to the proper precautions in the water but boaters as well.

Sheriff’s Officers along with our partner in law enforcement, New Jersey State Police Marine Services Bureau, will be out all summer long patrolling the shore areas in an effort to ensure safety and respond to critical water related incidents.

As a reminder, it’s important to follow safe boating tips: • Check the weather conditions prior to departure • Have a checklist and follow it prior to departure • Operate at a safe speed, be aware of your surroundings, and stay clear of large vessels • Make sure there is more than one person who can handle operations of the boat and that all know how to swim.

• Always wear a lifejacket and make sure your pets have one too.

• Do not consume alcohol prior to or while out on a vessel. It is illegal to operate a boat with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher which could result in mandatory loss of boating and driving privileges.

Know The Risks Before You Swim

MONMOUTH COUNTY – While the Jersey Shore is an extremely popular destination for many the next few months, Sheriff Golden cautions that all practice safety while swimming.

In an effort to make swimming less risky MCSONJ wants all to be aware of these water safety tips: • Please make sure you/your children know how to swim before entering the water, swim when lifeguards are on duty, never swim alone, avoid rip currents and if you get caught in one swim parallel to the shore • Know the weather forecast when swimming in the ocean and be aware of rough surf and signs telling you not to swim.

Think safety at the shore this summer.

The Howell Times, July 7, 2018, Page 9 player Emily Bush starred as a sophomore goalkeeper at Penn State University Brandywine in women’s soccer.

Caregiver Volunteers Of Central Jersey & Comfort Keepers Work At Reducing Loneliness

SHREWSBURY – Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey is pleased to announce an exciting and innovative strategic partnership between their in-home visiting therapy dog program Caregiver Canines and Comfort Keepers In Home Senior Care located in Shrewsbury, NJ. Caregiver Canines is a free program which matches seniors, those with dementia and their caregivers for weekly visits with therapy dogs and volunteers in the comfort of their own homes. These visits have been found to reduce loneliness and senior isolation and provide great health benefits to those visited.

Comfort Keepers provides compassionate, professional care to seniors and other adults in areas of Red Bank, Monmouth, and Northern Ocean County. Their trained caregivers offer a wide variety of services designed to help individuals live as independently as they wish, right in the comfort of their own home.

“With a similar commitment to helping our older community members remain independent we thought it would be a wonderful idea to partner with Comfort Keepers to match our volunteers and therapy dogs to their dog loving

clients,” said Lynette Whiteman, CVCJ Executive Director. “As we age, sometimes there are physical or financial barriers to owning your own dog and that brings a lot of heartache. I have witnessed firsthand how much happiness these weekly visits bring and how great friendships develop with our volunteers.

We appreciate this opportunity to reach even more individuals and caregivers.”

“I am excited to be supporting Caregiver Canines. My company services seniors on a daily basis and we know first- hand about the effects of isolation of not only the patient but also the caregivers themselves. Many of our clients are no longer able to own and care for their own pets and Caregiver Canines is able to fill this void. We are so lucky to be able to work with this wonderful organization,” said Jim Winn, owner of Comfort Keepers of Shrewsbury.

For more information about Caregiver Canines, please call 732-505-2273 or visit caregivercanines.org. You can also find them on Facebook – Caregiver Canines.

For more information about Comfort Keepers call 732-530-3636 or visit comfortkeeperscom/ centraljersey.

MANALAPAN – Dave Milboer’s AP Government and Politics class at Manalapan High School hosted a Political Science Fair on June 13.

Select classes were invited to meet with Mr. Milboer’s AP student groups to learn about local, regional and national issues and their proposed political response op-

–Photo courtesy FRHSD tions. The students selected topics that they were passionate about, including the welfare system, net neutrality, American foreign policy, and environmental protections. Manalapan’s Deputy Mayor Susan Cohen stopped by to hear the presentations and speak with the participating students.

MNHS Science & Engineering Sophomores Win 3rd Place in TI Codes Contest MANALAPAN – Manalapan High School sophomores Kaushik Prakash, Aniket Khanna, Jiebin Liang, and Anshul Mittal won third place in the TI Codes Contest, a national competition sponsored by Texas Instruments.

The group was challenged to identify an everyday process that could be automated or optimized. They created a multi-stage system to aid gardeners from selecting ideal plants to watering the garden. Please click here to see their video presentation.

The four sophomores are all enrolled in the Freehold Regional High School District’s Science and Engineering Magnet Program. Science and Engineering offers a four-year program of interdisciplinary studies for students interested in pursuing careers in mathematics, engineering, or the physical sciences. Students in this program undertake an accelerated program in mathematics, science, computer science, and electronics. In conjunction with specialized

studies, students receive a comprehensive education in the humanities.

The program includes opportunities for staff and students to interact with representatives from industry and institutions of higher learning in order to acquire an awareness of research methods, current applications, and career opportunities.

These field experiences are coordinated with personal counseling which is designed to assist students in postsecondary plans. In the past few years, S&E students interned at companies such as Commvault, Festo Didactic, AT&T, Nokia-Bell Labs, Ocean First Bank, and PEC Telecom Solutions.

After graduation, students have gone on to become professors at Princeton, Yale, Ecole Polytechnique, Federale de Lausanne, and The Cooper Union. Likewise, our alumni work at prestigious companies such as Google (16 alumni), Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Goldman-Sachs, Microsoft, Lucent, Princeton Plasma Lab, and AT&T.

Local Company Recalls Product From ShopRite Shelves

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 pro-

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.

The acronym, P.A.S.S. which stands for; P- Pull the pin, A- Aim, S- squeeze, and

S- Sweep is an effective way to remember the proper procedure when extinguishing fires. The preservation of life is our first priority and fire extinguishers should only be utilized to fight small controllable fires or to clear an escape path. When a fire is too large to extinguish we recommend that you escape the dwelling and call 911.

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.

Toms River Honors Radio Legend Bob Levy

–Photos by Jason Allentoff From left to right: Mayor Tom Kelaher, Marianne Levy, Councilman George Wittmann, Councilwoman Maria Maruca, Councilman Maurice “Mo” Hill and Kevin Williams. Inset: The sign that now bears Bob Levy’s name in Downtown Toms River.

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.

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.

Essential Oils for Seasonal Allergies 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, fi nd 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-inflam-

matory, 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 affi rms 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.

Freehold Cuts Ribbon On DPW Staging Facility FR EEHOLD – Freehold Township “cut their ow n r ibbon” on Ju ne 21, 2018, for the Depar t ment of Public Works Staging Facility at 66 Jackson Mill Road.

The facility is a 16,000 square foot garage that will allow equipment to be stored and staged for use during the different seasons, protecting the valuable equipment from the elements. The building is also an operations center that provides a sheltered operation area during storm events. This will allow for a much quicker response in getting equipment out during snow events.

Township Committee Members David M. Salkin, Barbara J. McMorrow, Lester A. Preston, Jr., Mayor Anthony J. Ammiano, and Deputy Mayor Thomas L. Cook were joined at the ceremony by members of the DPW staff, Township Administrator Peter Valesi, Township Engineer Timothy White and Superintendent of Public Works Scott Higgins.

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 Though I was born and grew up in Austria, I have now lived in the United States for almost 45 years and I am proud to be a citizen. America has offered me amazing opportunities, and every day I feel grateful to live in this country.

The Fourth of July has always been a special day to me. I love the relaxed, old-fashioned ways we celebrate American independence: parades, baseball games, picnics in the park or at the beach, cookouts, concerts, fi reworks.

For a long time I’ve been fascinated with the kinds of things my fellow citizens love to cook and eat on the Fourth of July. There will be plenty of outdoor cooking, of course, from quickly grilled burgers, hot dogs, steaks, chops, kabobs, fish fillets and chicken to more slowly barbecued dishes like ribs, whole briskets and pulled pork.

With every passing year, I’ve also been happy to see more vegetables cooked on the grill as side dishes or vegetarian main courses, since everything from onions and scallions to bell peppers, eggplants and zucchini all taste delicious when cooked with a touch of live fi re.

Then come all sorts of other accompaniments, from potato salad to coleslaw, not to mention other traditional preparations like carrot-raisin salads, chopped vegetable salads, bean salads, and so on. Some people may also prepare pots of baked beans to carry from the kitchen to wherever the outdoor feast may be happening. And, of course, there are the necessary potato chips and corn chips, with dips like guacamole and salsas.

What a feast! And I always love it when I’m invited to a party and can bring along a contribution.

One of my favorite things to make for an Independence Day party is dessert. I know there will be all sorts of fresh-baked cookies, pies, cobblers, cakes and other baked goods, and I’ve brought along my share of these over the years. But this year, I’d like to share a recipe that’s always welcome and goes with just about everything: ice cream!

Not just any ice cream, but one that features summertime’s glorious fresh strawberries.

My fresh summer strawberry ice cream is easy to make. If you decide to shop for these ingredients on the Fourth of July, buy the freshest, ripest berries you can fi nd. In less than two easy hours of work, and with the help of an inexpensive automatic ice cream maker, you can have this delicious, classic ice cream chilling in your freezer, ready to pack in an ice chest and cart off to wherever the party may be happening.

Happy Independence Day! F R E SH SU M M E R ST R AW B E R RY ICE CREAM Makes about 2 1/2 quarts (about 2.5 L)

The Orchards at Bartley Assisted LIving 100 N. County Line Road Jackson, NJ 08527

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, fi rst 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.
