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

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) commended ten students from the Fourth Congressional District whom he nominated for acceptance to military service 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

Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON - Governor Phil Murphy sig ne d Se n at e Bill No. 427, which prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from marrying or entering into a civil union. New Jersey is now

“In New Jersey, we are dedicated to protecting child ren by put ti ng an end to child mar r iages

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

Child Marriage Ban Signed Into Law

by raising the minimum age to 18,” said Governor Mur phy. “St udies have consistently showed that m i nor s who enter i nto mar riage - par ticularly young women - are less likely to graduate from high school and college and more likely to suffer domestic abuse and live in poverty. I am proud to join with the Legislature to ma ke New Je r sey a

national leader on this important human rights issue.”

The legislation bars the issuance of marriage or civil union licenses to all persons under the age of 18. Previously, New Jersey minors who were 16 or 17 could get married with parental consent. Minors under the age of 16 could be married after obtaining parental consent and

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.

Research has shown that you ng wome n ma r r ied at 18 or younger suffer negative psychological, social, educational, and financial consequences.

The legislation will play a crucial role in protecting

The principal grabbed the cor rect fire extinguisher and put out emerging f lames before they created any additional damage.

Facilities director Ed Ostroff said Karas was able to “k nock that f ire down” before a much larger problem emerged. His quick thinking put a halt to the fire and saved the school from smoke damage that would have followed if the situation had worsened.

After a half hour, fire officials gave the all clear for staff and students to return to the building and the school reopened the following day without incident.

said “on behalf of the whole Board of Education, it is my pleasure to offer our sincere appreciation to Holman Elementary School Principal Richard Karas for his quick thinking and his willingness to wear any “hat” he needs to in order to protect his school and students.”

The Board also recognized the McAuliffe School Home Association for its continued generosity to the district having donated tens of thousands of dollars for Chromebooks, a 3-D printer, and other technology supplies for students.

This year the group made a $3,233 donation to install another water bottle filling station at the McAuliffe school.

Adam Silvan represented the school Home Association for the night’s presentation and award. Board members noted the impact of the group’s dona-

tion went beyond making sure students and staff aren’t thirsty. Aside from the health benefits of students consuming water, the water bottle filling stations are part of the school’s continuing effort to teach students about treating the environment with respect and conserving resources.

The system is able to track the number of plastic water bottles that are saved by not repeatedly using disposable bottles.

The station will supplement the one that is already in use and is very popular at the school.

That station has already saved an estimated 13,700 water bottles since November 2017 according to information provided by district communications manager Allison Erwin.

Genco also noted that for the most

part, “the weather cooperated for our promotion and graduation ceremonies.

The middle school promotion program was a little iffy last Friday but we had a window of time before the rain and ultimately it worked out.

“As a former principal myself I was always told that the one thing you don’t want to mess up on is the graduations/promotions as everyone was watching,” Genco said.

Board member Sharon Dey said “The graduations went very well. I want to thank all our staff and teachers for another outstanding year.”

“They were all interesting and unique. They were all fun and moving ceremonies Board member Michael Walsh said.

“We did have a diversity of graduations.

They were not all the same,” Sargent said.

“They all went off very well.”

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.

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.

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

Jackson School District Summer Assignments

JACKSON – “Summer slide” is a phrase often used in research to explain the importance of students continuing to keep their brains engaged in learning. If students do not continue to engage in learning they can fall behind their peers causing large gaps in achievement.

In fact, most of our youth lose about two months of grade level equivalency in reading and mathematical computation skills over the summer months.

The Jackson School District encourages students to engage their brains and to continue to practice their skills over the summer through

reading, writing and practicing math skills.

Additionally, it is encouraged that students learn through experiences such as trips, visits to museums (either in person or virtually), etc.

However, the Jackson School District aims to balance summer assignment time with the need and importance of students spending time with their families, working, resting, and exploring other important experiences. The summer assignments were revamped this year to better allow students to balance the need to stay current and become prepared for the coming year, but also to enjoy the relaxation and family time that summer allows.

Consumer Issues/Debt Collection Seminar

JACKSON – This free seminar will offer information on Fair Debt Collection Practices including what happens if a debt collector sues you and what actions can a debt collector take. Learn your options to stop letters and excessive phone calls. Learn what happens if your case goes to Court.

This seminar is presented by the Superior

Court Ocean Vicinage Legal Research and Information Center in coordination with South Jersey Legal Services and the Ocean County Library. Please note that your personal case cannot be discussed.

This event will be held at the Jackson Branch on August 8, 3 p.m. Registration opens on July 8 at 9 a.m.

Navigating the Path to Employment JACKSON – Join us for a hands-on tour of the powerful New Jersey Career Con nections website at the Jackson Branch on July 30, 2-3 p.m. This class

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!

JOEL MAIETTA, DPT Joel received his bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences in 2007 from Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT and went on to receive his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Quinnipiac in 2010. He has completed clinical rotations in acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, and outpatient orthopedic settings.

Joel’s clinical interests include postsurgical rehabilitation as well as manual therapy techniques for the spine and extremities. Joel is also certified in Sole Supports custom foot orthotics for the treatment of a variety of pathologies including bunions and plantar fasciitis.

Some of Joel’s post-graduate continuing education courses include:

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.

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.

Law Enforcement Personnel: Join Our Group TOMS RIVER – Our goal is to bring together Retired Law Enforcement Officers, Corrections Officers, State Troopers, Prosecutors Investigators and Career Firefighters living in and around Ocean County.

We meet on the third Wednesday of the month at noon. Meetings are held at the Silverton Firehouse, 15 Kettle Creek Road, Toms River. Yearly dues are $20 in addition at each meeting we charge $5 to cover lunch.

As a chapter of the statewide organization, we discuss issues related to our pension and benefits. We also share a lot of war stories and brotherhood. If interested in joining, please let us know and an application will be forwarded. Please keep the posts related to our common retiree issues and other information for the good of our professions.

Remember, you do not have to be retired from an Ocean County department to join. Out of state retirees are also welcome to join as long as you meet the above criteria.

We have a yearly picnic and Christmas party. We try to have guest speakers when available. An application may be downloaded at njrpfa.org.

Essential Oils for Seasonal Allergies 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-infl ammatory 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 fi nd 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.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

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.

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.

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 cohost, 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.
