By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK - An estimated 400 students, faculty and family members ran a mile in the annual Color Run fundraiser, hosted by the Emma Havens Young Elementary School PTA recently.

Some of the money raised would help to pay for a school playground to replace a structurally unsafe playground that was removed about two months ago, said PTA President Denise SanFillippo.

Plans For Marijuana Dispensary Switched To Lettuce Farm

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK - There have been a number of twists and turns in an application by Jersey Shore Therapeutic Health Care (JSTHC) which originally sought per mission to build a 48,000-square-foot grow house to cultivate and sell medical marijuana at 385 Adamston Road, on the site of a former OceanFirst Bank.

The proposal resulted in a standing room only crowd during an October 2018 Board of Adjustment meeting, when there were heated exchanges between neighboring residents, who were opposed to the application, and pro-marijuana individuals and groups.

In March - in the wake of a new township ordinance that prohibits the retail sale, cultivation, manufacturing and testing of recreational marijuana in the township JSTHC said they were taking sales out of the application, but they still wanted to use

Color Run:

Continued From Page 1 fund, she said before the race began. The organization funds field trips, assemblies, student agendas, field day t-shirts, and much more, SanFillippo said.

The run starts behind Emma Havens Young School, goes to the Twin County Soccer fields in the adjacent Drum Point Sports Complex, continues into the Brick Dragons football and cheer field, and crosses back to the finish line in the school yard. Runners are doused from head to toe with a different colored powder at four separate locations along the route, explained PTA member Penny Chandler who chairs the event, and whose husband Bill is in charge of the colored corn starch-based powder.

“It’s a fundraiser that’s fun, and the kids love it,” he said. “They go through stations and get colors thrown at them. I use a repurposed fire extinguisher to shoot the powder, so it’s fun for me too.”

About 20 students from the Brick High School National Honor Society and five students from the Lake Riviera Middle School National Junior Honor Society were on hand at the four stations to toss the colored corn starch at the runners as they came through.

The fundraising event also featured a Zumba dance warm-up by DS Fitness, a Kona ice truck, live radio broadcasting through B98.5 FM, a prize wheel, raffle, professional face painters from Fantasy Face & Body, and Wang Orthodontics donated 500 t-shirts.

EHY kindergarten teacher Amy Cromen worked her way towards the start line just before 5 p.m. race.

Cromen’s twins, who are fifth-graders at EHY, were running with their friends while she and her 12-year old daughter ran together.

“I’m not really a runner, but this is exciting.

I ran the past three years, and we have a great time. The kids count down to it, it’s a great event,” she said.

First-grader Andrew Bates, 7, had his face painted like a tiger while waiting for the race to begin.

“This is my second time, I’m a fast runner,” he said. “I’m gonna try to be in first place. I feel very confident,” said the 7-year old.

The day after the race, organizer Penny Chandler said the event had raised some $5,000 to $6,000.

“It was just as wonderful as other years,” she said. “Putting the time and energy into something that has become a traditional fundraiser is great,” Chandler said.

Lettuce:

Continued From Page 1 the property to cultivate and manufacture marijuana in the 48,000 square-foot grow house.

JSTHC’s attorney Dennis Galvin asked that the application be heard in front of the Planning Board instead of the Zoning Board. Since the property was already zoned for agricultural use, a use variance was no longer needed, he said.

Now, in a recent turn of events, JSTHC wants to grow lettuce in the proposed 48,000-square-foot grow house.

During a special Board of Adjustment meeting held on May 30, Board Attorney Ronald D. Cucchiaro said JSTHC had transferred the application to the Planning Board, “with no input from the Board of Adjustment or anybody else; they decided that was the proper forum.”

But the Planning Board expressed concern that it lacked jurisdiction, so the application was sent back to the Board of Adjustment for a “narrow and exclusive function” for the board to determine whether certain uses are permitted in the Rural Residential zone, he said.

“This is not an application seeking approval for a use, so this board will not be denying or approving any sort of use on the subject property,” he said.

“The only thing this board has been tasked with doing as a result of the transfer from the Planning Board, is determining whether certain uses are permitted on the property, and if they are permitted, that means the Planning Board would be the proper board for jurisdiction,” Cucchiaro said. “If they are not permitted, it would mean that the [Board of Adjustment] would have jurisdiction.”

Board members were tasked with interpreting language in a township ordinance that allows “customary and conventional” farming in the Rural Residential zone, which is not zoned for commercial use.

“Anything that has to do with being pro- or anti- a particular use, opinions from the public, representatives of the developer and others are not relevant to what the Board has to consider,” he said.

Attorney for the applicant Dennis Galvin said he objected to the procedure. “Our position at this point is that we merely want to grow an agricultural product, and I know that’s a big sea change from what the original ask was, but we’ve decided to go in this direction,” he said. “The property is zoned agricultural.”

Galvin said there is nothing in the ordinance that prohibits this.

“Our position is tainted by what happened previously,” he said. “If we had proposed lettuce 10 months ago, there would be no issue.”

Edward Liston, an attorney who was hired by neighboring residents of the proposed grow house, said even though the application went from marijuana to hemp to lettuce, the proposed 48,000 square-foot building has the same design, the same layout, same electricity, and even has labs.

Animals:

Continued From Page 1 ways to help animals locally.

There are several animal shelters that need donations and volunteers. They would welcome help from people who want to make the world better for animals in their area.

Calling All Cats Rescues, in Jackson, always needs kitten and cat chow, and cleaning supplies. They are currently well stocked with linens, said Sara Cameron, president and founder. They have an Amazon wish list that is pinned to the top of their Facebook page.

They are also looking for volunteers and foster families.

There was one situation recently where a hurt animal was helped by this organization. A feral cat, who might be a senior, was found on the side of Route 571, struck by a car. Fortunately, it was spotted by a volunteer for the organization. She thought she was dead until she saw movement.

The cat was brought to a vet, where she was given pain medication, anti-biotics, and an x-ray that revealed her back was broken. Doctors told her the humane thing would be to put her down.

“I wasn’t ready,” Cameron said. “If I put her down, I can’t reverse that.”

The cat was eating, drinking, and grooming herself. It didn’t look like a cat that had given up. The cat wasn’t ready to go, either.

Now, the cat is named Phoenix, and she lives at the sanctuary. She probably will spend the rest of her years here, since

her medical care is more than what most people are able to do (which includes acupuncture). She was fitted for a harness that has wheels on it, and she pulls herself along with her front paws. She has grown accustomed to the shelter life, as opposed to being a stray, and has become affectionate.

“Every day she just keeps getting stronger and stronger,” she said.

At the Jersey Shore Animal Center in Brick, they are always in need of cat food, blankets, towels, sheets, and cleaning products, said Jaime Dunning, project director.

Donations can be dropped off seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., although the adoption center is only open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays.

Volunteers have to be 16 or older, and have to apply, she said.

Monetary donations can be given through the site: jerseyshoreanimalcenter.org.

The Toms River Animal Shelter is also looking for cat and kitten food, and particularly kitten formula. They are asking for KMR ready-made cans, powder, and Miracle Nipples, as well as experienced bottle feeders, 18 and older.

Serving locations in both Ocean and Monmouth Counties is Rescue Ridge Adoption. Rescue Ridge is always looking for volunteers to walk the dogs, socialize with the dogs and cats, as well as transport animals to adoption events and/or veterinary appointments.

“We can use people to help us at events, especially strong people who can help carry tents. We need people who can man the tables we need people who can talk

to the public about Rescue Ridge,” stated Joan Parmese, Director of Operations at Rescue Ridge A volunteer application can be found at rescueridge.com. You must be 19 or older to volunteer.

If volunteering isn’t your thing, there are many other ways to help out. You can simply donate at rescueridge.com, or you can partake in their brick campaign. For $25, you can “honor your pet, a friend’s pet or even just a friend.”

If you wish to donate more than just money, you can visit Rescue Ridge’s site at rescueridge.com/about to view their Amazon wish list.

“If it is toys, we don’t normally take rope toys or anything too little since we deal mostly with larger animals. We do not accept open bags of food just for safety reasons and we like to keep our animals on a consistent diet,” stated Parmese.

“Treats should only be made in America and probably should not be treated with irradiation” If you are out and about, you can text 732-546-8805 to see what is needed at that time.

In southern Ocean County you will find the Ocean County Animal Shelter’s Manahawkin location as well as their partner organization, the Friends of the Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter (FOSOCAS).

The organization is always looking for volunteers that can get the dogs out for a bit of exercise. “(Dog walker) orientations are held at the

shelter on the first Saturday and the third Sunday of each month. Must be 21 years of age and have enough strength and balance to get the dogs in/out of their kennels and walk for extended period of time,” stated the Friends’ website.

To become a dog walker, email dogwalkers@fosocas.org.

FOSOCAS also needs individuals who are willing to foster cats or dogs, be “bottle babies” who bottle feed the very young kittens, or volunteer at their adoption centers.

More information on volunteer opportunities can be found at fosocas.org/ programs.

And of course, you can always provide a monetary donation online at fosocas.org/ product/donation/ or in one of the FOSOCAS’ coin boxes.

“The donations we receive are used to purchase shelter equipment and provide supplementary medical/veterinary care to ensure high standards for the care and housing of pets,” stated their site.

Coin boxes can be found all over various locations in southern Ocean County. Make a difference with your spare change!

In addition to the traditional methods of donating time or money, Ocean County SPCA is taking advantage of the online shopping world to raise funds for their Save A Rescue animal charity. You can donate 0.5 percent of your online purchase to Save A Rescue when shopping on Amazon Smile by choosing them as your designated charity.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

Bill Would Help Small Businesses Overcome Red Tape From The Desk Of

Congressman Andy Kim WASHINGTON, D.C. Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) and Senator Jeanne Shaheen (NH) introduced the Small Business Regulatory Relief Act, a bill that will help small businesses navigate

excessive red tape and help them grow and create jobs.

“Small business owners face enough challenges every day, it’s up to Congress to help clear their path so they can grow and create jobs,” said

Congressman Kim. “The Ombudsman’s office is a great resource to small business owners looking to navigate their way through a sea of red tape. By making it more efficient, we can make it more effective and we can help empower our small business owners in New Jersey and throughout the country.”

The bill would give the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Office of the National Ombudsman the authority to work with federal agencies to

provide meaningful compliance assistance and improve its outreach to help small businesses. The bill also establishes a single point of contact at each federal agency to work with the Ombudsman, which will improve efforts to help small business owners navigate federal regulations.

The SBA’s Office of the National Ombudsman was created in 1996 to help small businesses overcome excessive or unfair regulatory enforcement actions by fed-

eral agencies. These actions include repetitive audits, investigations or excessive fines. In Fiscal Year 2017, the Office of the National Ombudsman advocated on behalf of 460 small businesses and conducted more than 130 outreach events across the country.

“As a small business owner, I’ll take any help I can get navigating red tape,” said John Earp from Bubbys Beanery in Toms River.

“Congressman Kim’s bill will

help clear the way so small business owners like myself can focus on what we do best: serve our customers, grow our economy and create jobs.”

Congressman Kim is a member of the House Committee on Small Business, and the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Tax and Capital Access. Senator Shaheen is a former small business owner and a member of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

New Jersey Sues Family That Created OxyContin TRENTON – Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal announced that the State has filed a lawsuit against eight members of Purdue Pharma’s founding Sackler family, alleging that their greed-driven opioid marketing and sales strategy fomented the opioid crisis that continues to claim lives in New Jersey and across the nation.

Filed in Superior Court in Essex County, the State’s complaint accuses the Sackler defendants of seeking to become unimaginably rich by deceptively promoting their company’s opioid pain medications as rarely addictive, seeking to flood the market with Purdue’s opioid pain products by encouraging risky prescribing practices, and by targeting vulnerable new patient populations such as

the elderly.

Specifically, the complaint alleges that each Sackler defendant named in the lawsuit helped direct and took part in a widespread campaign to deceive doctors and other caregivers with prescribing authority about the risks and benefits of Purdue’s marquee opioid pain relief drug, OxyContin, as well as other dangerously addictive opioid pain medications made and sold by Purdue and prescription opioids generally.

“The Sackler family built a multi-billion-dollar drug empire based on addiction,” said Attorney General Grewal.

“Despite knowing the harms that would result, the Sacklers drove Purdue to pursue deceitful sales campaigns for OxyContin and other highly addictive opioid painkillers, campaigns that were dutifully

carried out by a small army of the company’s employees. Our communities are still reeling from the epidemic of addiction and overdose deaths caused by their misconduct.”

Sackler defendants named in today’s four-count lawsuit include former Purdue CEO and President Dr. Richard S. Sackler, who also served as Purdue’s head of research and development for nearly a decade; Jonathan D. Sackler; Dr. Kathe Sackler; Ilene Sackler Lefcourt; Mortimer D.A. Sackler; Beverly Sackler; Theresa Sackler; and David A. Sackler.

Each of the defendants sat on the Purdue Pharma Board of Directors for many years – including some who served for the better part of three decades – before leaving the Board in 2017 or 2018.

The State’s complaint lays out a callous plan by the Sacklers to use deception and misinformation to turn the medical community - and the public away from the prevailing view that opioids were so potent and potentially addictive that they should be prescribed sparingly.

The misinformation campaign worked, the complaint asserts, and the Sacklers managed through intensive marketing and high-pressure sales tactics to replace the old wisdom with a new mindset: that pain was an under-rec-

ognized and undertreated health care problem, and that opioids should be the first line of treatment for patients suffering from such chronic conditions as moderate back pain, migraine headaches and arthritis.

Purdue Pharma makes a variety of opioid pain medications including Butrans and Hysingla ER. However, the company’s most popular opioid pain medication by far has been OxyContin. Starting with the market debut of OxyContin in 1996, Purdue generated overall

President & Publisher Stewart Swann

sales estimated at more than $35 billion.

The company’s current annual revenues are estimated at approximately $3 billion, mostly from the sale of OxyContin.

The lawsuit alleges that, under the Sackler defendants’ direction, Purdue aggressively and deceptively marketed its opioid drugs – particularly OxyContin – for the long-term treatment of chronic pain.

The suit also alleges that Purdue failed to disclose it had no studies to support (State - See Page 23)

RESTORING VISION AFTER STROKE

When a stroke occurs in the brain’s “primary visual cortex,” which processes visual information, the resultant lack of oxygenated blood can lead to damage among the neurons in that region. Approximately 60% of people who suffer a stroke experience vision loss. While some patients may spontaneously regain their sight, those who have sustained damage to their “retinal ganglion cells” are not likely to recover sight in the affected area. However, new research reveals that some retinal cells in those with stroke-related vision impairment were still healthy and functional even though sight in that part of the eye was lost. Research shows the next step will involve finding ways to help these healthy cells interpret visual information from the visual cortex.

How your vision is affected by stroke depends on several factors. They include what part of the brain was affected, how severe the stroke was, and how long before it was treated. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family. To schedule an eye exam, please call 732-349-5622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

Around The Jersey Shore NJ Looking To Expand Access To Medical Marijuana

By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Department of Health is looking to open up over 100 more Alternative Treatment Centers (ATC) to expand access to medical marijuana for residents.

The department is looking for applicants to operate 108 more ATCs: 38 in the northern region of the state, up to 38 in the central region, and up to 32 in the southern region.

Endorsements for cultivation, manufacturing and dispensary will be available.

The department is looking for up to 24 cultivation endorsements, up to 30 manufacturing endorsements, and up to 54 dispensary endorsements.

“We are at a point where patients just cannot wait any longer for easily accessible, affordable therapy. This request for applications allows for specialization of businesses to increase medical product in our state,” said New Jersey Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal. “In addition, by allowing for three sizes of cultivation endorsements (5,000 square feet, 20,000 square feet and 30,000 square feet), we are increasing opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses to participate in the program.”

Applications for ATCs will be assessed based on the needs for each region, patient

need, and the general population of the state and its regions.

With the addition of five new illnesses in March 2018 to the list of medical conditions that qualify patients for medical marijuana, as well as the addition of Opioid Use Disorder in January 2019, the state’s medical marijuana program has expanded greatly. Since the addition of those conditions, the program has added 30,000 new patients, bringing the total patient count to 47,500.

Request for Applications (RFA) can be found on the NJ Department of Health website. Permit application forms for ATCs will be available at nj.gov/health/ medicalmarijuana on July 1. Applications are due August 15. The length of time required to review applications and the timeline for announcing awards will depend on the volume of applications received.

A pre-application webinar will be held on July 16 to review the RFA process. You can submit written questions up to July 5 to be reviewed at the webinar. Following the webinar, the Department will post a set of Frequently Asked Questions and responses to those questions.

The six currently operating ATCs and awardees from the July 2018 RFA are also eligible to participate in this application process.

Doggy Yappy Hour LAKEWOOD – A Doggy Yappy Hour will be held on Friday, June 14 at the Ocean County Park, Lakewood. The Ocean County Parks and Recreation Department is conducting an evening out to enjoy the company of your Best Friend. Obedience, agility demonstrations and doggy games and contests will be held. All dogs must be vaccinated and on a leash.

The demos will be conducted by area businesses, including PetSmart of Brick and JAG agility. Music will be provided

by WOBM radio. The event will be from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Ocean County Park, Route 88, Lakewood.

There is no charge for this fun event.

More than 40 vendors will be available for information, displays, shopping and food. For additional information call toll free 1-877-OCPARKS. The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders sponsors this program.

Goose:

Continued From Page 1 picture was posted on Facebook, it has taken on a life of its own. People made all sorts of assumptions about the people in the photo, as well as the person taking the photo.

The photographer spoke to JerseyShoreOnline to explain that this was not an isolated incident, and that hopefully the geese are now safe. She chose not to use her name because it has spread through social media enough, and that she doesn’t want her employer to be involved.

The building where she works overlooks a lake, which is home to a family of geese.

The incidents took place over the course of a week, starting May 13.

On Monday, she heard a commotion outside.

By the time she got to the window, she saw a group of boys clapping, yelling, and charging at the geese. She didn’t report it because she didn’t see the entire interaction. It’s possible that the boys were just walking by and the geese went after them. There were no adults and no vehicles.

On Tuesday, she heard the geese honking again. This time, she looked outside to see one of the boys hit a goose with a stick. Again, there were no adults or vehicles around. She shouted to them but they didn’t hear.

She went out after work, after they left, and took a picture. She’s not supposed to use her phone at work so it wasn’t handy when the boys were there. These pictures of the geese inspecting the nest and broken eggs were forwarded to this newspaper.

On Wednesday, she saw them swinging

The Brick Times, June 8, 2019, Page 15 a stick at the birds again. She shouted “I’m calling the police” out the window, and this time, they heard her. She did call the police after work, and they promised to do a driveby the next day.

On Thursday, there was no incident.

On Friday, the infamous picture was taken.

This was the only time that there was an adult with them, and a vehicle. “This time, they hit the goose so hard, they knocked it into the water,” she said.

She called police, but by the time they arrived, the kids were gone. Animal control accompanied them. They said the goose looked unhurt so they didn’t want to move the nest.

On Sunday, she met with an officer from the Division of Fish and Wildlife at the site and that’s when the nest was inspected. This officer said the nest contained four healthy eggs, and one with a slight crack. It was unclear how it got a crack, and couldn’t be confirmed that it was caused by human intervention.

She hasn’t seen any kids go to the site since.

The fact that the Fish and Wildlife officer’s investigation was inconclusive made some people speculate that the incident was a hoax, made to target the kids in the picture. The photographer said that while there was one egg cracked, there’s no telling how many eggs there were before the kids came by.

Other people had very angry reactions – wanting to hurt the kids in the picture, which was not what she wanted to happen either.

“Everyone is out for blood, and I just want them to be safe,” she said. “I’m doing it because I’m an animal lover. The geese seem happy. I’ve named them Hope and Chance,” because she hopes that she has given them a

chance at having a safe life.

She said all the social media speculation made her wonder if she did the right thing.

But “I saved a life – I saved two lives. If the eggs hatch, I saved however many babies.”

La kewood Capt. Gregory Staffordsmith said an officer researched a mitz vah – a commandment – called shiluach hak—Photo donated to Jersey Shore Online en, “sending of These photos were taken when the photographer visited them when the nest.” Before they were calm. this incident, the captain said he’d lengthen your days.’” never heard of it, and the department had Staffordsmith wouldn’t speculate if that’s never received any calls about it in town. what was happening in this situation, or if “If you find a nest and want to take the eggs this was simply a mother and children who or young birds, you first need to send away were attempting to feed geese and had to the mother and only then may you take the shoo them away because they became too eggs or the young birds for yourself.

One of the most common hearing problems we hear about is the difficulty of hearing in noisy restaurants.

It seems that along with movies, television shows, and the world in general, restaurants have become noisier than ever. Loud background music, the clatter of silverware and dishes, the sounds of other diners raising their voices to be heard, all can make the restaurant setting a challenging and frustrating place to carry on a conversation. People with normal hearing also complain about noisy restaurants.

According to Sagat Surveys, noise is the second most common complaint of restaurant-goers (second only to poor service). Research has documented that the noise levels of most restaurants are loud enough to interfere with normal conversations, whether or not the individual has a hearing loss. In general, family restaurants are much quieter than the bar/restaurant setting. The “elegant,

upscale” restaurant will always be the quietest setting by far. Apparently, patrons of more expensive restaurants receive not only better food and service for their dining dollar, they also get a better listening environment.

Tips for hearing aid users in restaurants may include the following: (1) Try to sit away from the kitchen and with your back to a wall. Noise levels will be kept to a minimum and your waiter or waitress will have to face you when speaking, and (2) Try not to be a people watcher and sit towards the corner of a restaurant. You will be surprised how much better you will be hearing by preferentially situating yourself in any restaurant environment.

Remember, we live in a very noisy place and even individuals with normal hearing have difficulty hearing in noisy restaurants. Utilizing effective communication strategies will help to reduce your frustration in these listening environments.

Surprise, Surprise…

Eggs Reduce Risk Of Stroke

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

For years, folks have been afraid of eggs, and how they are “bad” for cholesterol and LDL. Long gone are the days where people drank them raw like Sylvester Stallone did in Rocky… and no I don’t recommend you do that! Rocky did that to build muscle mass, but so you know, the practice of eating raw eggs is about 120 years old. Today, some body builders use the liquid egg whites, to avoid salmonella contamination.

Today’s focus is on eggs and whether or not they raise risk of heart disease or stroke. The rationale is that eggs are high in cholesterol, and hypercholesterolemia increases stroke. So let’s explore that today, and see what the research claims.

One hard-boiled egg contains 187 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol. One scrambled eggs has about 169 mg natural cholesterol.

Data accumulated from epidemiological studies suggests an inverse relationship… meaning the more eggs you eat the higher your risk for stroke. However, the evidence of the relationship is quite limited, and has not deterred me from eating them. Millions of people have however, are running scared from the egg.

There is brand new research out, and it was just published in the May 16, 2019 issue of The Journal of the American College of Nutrition. The aim of the study was to determine the association of eggs (and cholesterol intake) with risk of stroke. It was conducted in 1,950 middle-aged men from Finland. Neither

egg consumption, nor cholesterol intake was associated with stroke incidence.

The gene that inf luences cholesterol metabolism (ApoE4) was accounted for.

The lack of an association between eggs and stroke is great news for egg lovers!

There was a Meta-analysis published in 2016, in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition. Scientists poured through seven different studies and compiled the statistics. Their findings while not a surprise to me, actually came as a shock to others. Let me just quote right out of the STUDY so you can interpret it as you wish: Based on the results of this meta-analysis, consumption of up to one egg daily may contribute to a decreased risk of total stroke, and daily egg intake does not appear to be associated with risk of CHD. In other words, the data reveals that eggs might lower risk of stroke, not raise them like everyone is telling you! I’m 54 at the time of this writing and so I can hear Sergeant Gomer Pyle in my head saying “Surprise, surprise!”

What’s so important here, and one of the messages that I am trying to give you is to stop worrying so much about food. I think there is so much mental chatter going on in the heads of Americans. Eat this, and not that, this here is bad for you, bread might kill you, there’s caffeine in this, gluten in that, lactose in this and sugar in that!

Just enjoy real food, eat wisely, avoid all chemicals and refined foods… and unless you are vegan, go ahead and eat the eggs!

R.C. Shea & Assoc. Around The Jersey Shore

Inside The Law CALL TO ACTION! TIME IS RUNNING OUT. S-2432/A-5371 Permits recovery of uncompensated medical expenses in civil action that result from motor vehicle accidents This Bill (S-2432/A-5371) is now Governor Murphy’s desk for his consideration. We urge you to call Governor Murphy NOW and tell him to sign this Bill.

(609) 292-6000.

The New Jersey Association for Justice and R.C. Shea & Associates strongly support S-2432/A-5371, which will allow victims of motor vehicle accidents to seek payment for medical expenses that may exceed insurance coverage they have under Personal Injury Protection coverage (PIP).

This bill is needed in light of the New Jersey Supreme Court decision in Haines v. Taft, which limits payments for medical care to the insured’s PIP limits with no regard to the actual extent of the injuries sustained and the cost of treatment and care. In many cases, and especially for those lower-income individuals who followed the law and shopped for an insurance policy they could afford, that PIP limit is as little as $15,000.

This decision discriminates against those in New Jersey who do not have the financial resources to buy high levels

Robert C. Shea Esq.

of insurance or PIP coverage.

As Justice Barry T. Albin said in his dissenting opinion in the case, the decision “will have a catastrophic impact on the right of low-income automobile accident victims to recover their medical costs from the wrongdoers who cause their injuries. The decision leaves innocent automobile accident victims without the legal right to sue negligent and reckless drivers for recovery of their unpaid medical bills – medical bills that will bankrupt some and financially crush others.”

The majority decision in Haines invited the Legislature to step in and correct this unjust situation and S-2432/A-5371 does precisely that. This bill would clarify that the Legislative intent is that a victim injured in an auto accident should not be left with crushing medical bills and no legal recourse against the tortfeasor.

The public policy of the state of New Jersey simply cannot be that consumers risk potential bankruptcy or financially devastating medical bills in exchange for lower premiums.

Injured auto accident victims should not be left to pay for the medical care necessitated by the negligent actions of those who have injured them.

TAKE ACTION NOW!

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

TOMS RIVER — In a move to directly impact students in addiction recovery attending Ocean County College, the Ammon Foundation has partnered with the OCC Foundation to make available $2,500 in scholarship awards for two students in recovery for the Fall 2019 semester. Scholarship applications can be submitted through August 16.

The funding for the scholarship has been made available via The Ammon Foundation’s Core Value Partnership Initiative, which strives to create intentional, mutually-beneficial and long-term partnerships to strategically support individuals in recovery. As an Education Partner, OCC joins with The Ammon Foundation in a one-to-one matching scholarship to remove financial barriers in place for an individual in recovery pursuing education.

The Ammon Foundation has allocated a minimum of $100,000 annually for scholarships to support individuals in recovery pursuing education via various pathways. Scholarship recipients become A m mon Recover y Scholars and are connected to a community of students in recovery, and offered free Peer Recovery Coaching and Professional Mentoring via the Foundations’ Community Engagement Initiative. The Foundation subscribes to the belief that when individuals in recovery are holistically supported to build purposeful lives, the likelihood of them maintaining their recovery substantially increases.

“As a woman in long-term recovery, Execut ive Di rector of T he A m mon Foundation, an Ocean County College alum, and a Trustee on the Ocean County College Foundation Board, I could not be more ecstatic about a partnership,” said Mariel Hufnagel. “All individuals

deserve access to education. Through innovative partnerships like this, we are able to better serve the marginalized and disenfranchised – not only removing barriers to education but providing hope by opening doors to a brighter future.”

In recent years, the OCC Foundation has expanded its outreach to partner with community leaders in business, industry, education, and government to reach a common goal to provide quality, affordable education to the students and to prepare them to assume their roles in our society. The accomplishments of the Foundation are a tribute to an unwavering belief in its mission by all who have participated to provide academic excellence that is accessible to all Ocean County residents.

“The Ocean County College Foundation is proud to participate in the Ammon Partnership for Recovery through Education Program,” remarked Kenneth Malagiere, Executive Director of the OCC Foundation. “With this scholarship, students can begin or make a fresh start on the road to higher education right here in Ocean County. Our Foundation has long been committed to the success of all of our scholarship recipients and we are looking forward to the witnessing the positive effect of this partnership on our student body.”

Beyond the matching scholarship, Ammon and OCC are also exploring various ways to work together and bring education and awareness about addiction and recovery to the campus and the community at large, and support to those in, or seeking, recovery.

OCC students in addiction recovery can visit ocean.academicworks.com/opportunities/2037 to apply for the scholarship funding.

When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse.

GETTING UNDER YOUR SKIN

The most common type of the inflammatory skin condition known as psoriasis is “plaque” psoriasis, which produces patches of raised, reddish skin covered by silverywhite scales. These plaques most often form on the elbows, knees, lower back, and scalp, although they may appear anywhere on the body. This uncomfortable skin condition is also frequently associated with severe itching and cracked and bleeding skin. While treatment often includes the use of topical steroid creams, there are multiple systemic options for treatment. Adalimumab (Humira) is a tumor necrosis factor blocker for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. This injected drug is approved for use in adult patients who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy and when other systemic therapies are less medically appropriate.

If over-the counter remedies aren’t helping your uncomfortable condition, we invite you to experience the results professional dermatological care can bring. We offer treatment options that can improve both the appearance and health of your skin.

P.S. “Tumor necrosis factor” (TNF) is a cell-signaling protein (cytokine) that is involved in systemic inflammation. Adalimumab (Humira) works by blocking its action.

Continued From Page 7 most of its promotional claims – for example, that opioids were not very addictive, that addiction risks were easily managed, opioids continued to be effective when used for treatment periods lasting many months and years, and that long-term opioid usage improved patients’ daily function and quality of life.

The State’s lawsuit includes three counts of violating the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and one count of violating the State’s False Claims Act. The complaint seeks monetary damages for false claims, maximum statutory penalties under the Consumer Fraud Act and the False

Claims Act, disgorgement of any ill-gotten gains, and other relief as contribution for the costly solutions – including addiction treatment and prescriber education – required to abate the opioid crisis in New Jersey.

According to the complaint, the State’s largest Medicaid managed care organization paid $109 million for opioids – much of it based on false claims caused by the defendants’ misconduct – through the Medicaid program between 2008 and 2017.

The State paid another $6 million under its Workers’ Compensation Program during the same time span, and approximately $136 million under its State Employee and Retiree Health Plans between 2012 and 2017. The bulk of those expenditures were for Purdue opioids, the complaint alleges.

Understanding Shoulder Replacement Surgery By: Kimberly Salvato, DPT

TOTAL SHOULDER REPLACEMENT (TSA):

The total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) was first performed in the United States in the 1950’s. Now, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality states 53,000 people in the U.S. have shoulders replaced each year. The goal is to decrease pain, while increasing mobility, strength, and function.

fractures. The most common cause is advanced osteoarthritis meaning the joint’s smooth cartilage lining has deteriorated. Surgery is considered when conservative treatments (rehabilitation, injection, medication) have failed.

IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?

This decision should be made between you, your family, and your orthopedic surgeon.

If conservative treatment did not relieve symptoms, then TSA can be a great option to help increase your independence, and regain your quality of life.

TSA: TOTAL V. REVERSE

SHOULDER ANATOMY

The shoulder is composed of three bones: the humerus (upper arm), scapula (shoulder blade), and clavicle (collar bone).

Like a ball and socket joint, the head of the humerus (the ball) fits into the socket of the scapula (glenoid cavity). Next is the rotator cuff, made up of four muscles which hold the head of the humerus into the glenoid cavity.

CAUSES:

Causes for a TSA include rheumatoid arthritis, disease of the rotator cuff, osteonecrosis, and humeral head

AFTER SURGERY

Post-operative Physical therapy has a large success rate though results can vary.

Restricted use of their hand, and wrist begins soon after, and their elbow and shoulder in approximately six weeks.

Unrestricted use may begin as early as eight weeks.

It is important to realize pain typically lasts until 6-12 months. After one year, 95% of patients enjoy pain-free function!

• Total: Replaces the damaged joint with prosthetics.

KIMBERLY SALVATO, DPT Typically, the head Kimberly Salvato received her of the humerus, and Bachelors of Science in Biology and the glenoid cavity minor in Behavioral Neuroscience at the Richard Stockton College of are both replaced. A New Jersey in 2012. Following the metal ball and stem completion of her undergraduate replace damaged degree, Kimberly attended humeral head. The graduate school at the University glenoid cavity is replaced with a smooth of the Sciences in Philadelphia and received her plastic surface.

The socket and ball are switched; ball replaces the shoulder socket, and the socket is attached where humerus had been. The deltoid muscle becomes the primary mover during elevation.

Kimberly received extensive training treating patients post-stroke in an acute setting and patient postsurgical in an outpatient orthopedic setting. Kimberly then spent four months on her last affiliation in orthopedics and sports medicine, where she studied under renowned sports physical therapists, athletic trainers, and strength and conditions specialists.

Kimberly learned valuable knowledge working with high school and college athletes, predominately with ACL and meniscal injuries.

The company’s current annual revenues are estimated at approximately $3 billion, mostly from the sale of OxyContin.

The lawsuit alleges that, under the Sackler defendants’ direction, Purdue aggressively and deceptively marketed its opioid drugs – particularly OxyContin – for the long-term treatment of chronic pain.

The suit also alleges that Purdue failed to disclose it had no studies to support most of its promotional claims – for example, that opioids were not very addictive, that addiction risks were easily managed, opioids continued to be effective when used for treatment periods lasting many months and years, and that long-term opioid usage improved patients’ daily function and quality of life.

The Board was asked to vote on two separate questions. The first was “Are farming operations in a building this size customary and conventional?” And the second question was, “Is the growing of marijuana and hemp a customary

They voted unanimously that the language in the ordinance does not permit medical marijuana or industrial hemp cultivation in the zone, and they voted that indoor cultivation in the proposed 48,000 square foot grow house was not customary or conventional.

After the meeting, Galvin was asked if his client would consider eliminating the grow house in favor of outdoor farming. He said absolutely not.

“We have rights, and our rights aren’t being respected,” Galvin said. “What’s the difference if it’s a [48,000 square foot] building or houses?”

Galvin said his client may appeal the Board’s decision.

Around The Jersey Shore Social Security Opens Up New Online Portal For New Jersey Residents

By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – New Jersey residents will now have easier, quicker access to social security services with the Social Security Administration’s new portal. The Social Security portal can be found at socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.

According to Nancy A. Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, residents can use the portal for Social Security number (SSN) card replacement requests from the comfort of their own home.

“I’m pleased to offer the residents of New Jersey the added convenience of replacing a Social Security card through the my Social Security portal,” Acting Commissioner Berryhill said. “We will continue to work on innovative initiatives to provide people with safe, secure and convenient options for doing business with us online or in person.”

Not only this, but current Social Security beneficiaries will be able to manage their account on the site as well; they can change an address, adjust direct deposit, obtain a benefit verification letter, or request a replacement SSA-1099.

New Jersey and the District of Columbia are the first places to have this program available.

The SSA plans to gradually roll out this ser-

vice, expanding it to other states throughout 2019.

According to the SSA, the portal will mean shorter wait times in the more than 1,200 Social Security offices across the country and more time for staff to work with customers who have extensive service needs.

If you are a US citizen 18 years of age or older, and a resident of New Jersey, you can request a replacement SSN card online through the portal by creating an account. You must have a US mailing address, not require a change to your record (such as a name change), and have a valid driver’s license or state identification card.

Not to worry, the Social Security portal is a secure site for social security services! Almost 41 million people have already begun using their accounts.

In addition to SSN card replacements, Medicare beneficiaries can use the portal to request a replacement Medicare card. Those still in the workforce can use the portal to verify their earnings history and obtain estimates of future benefits by looking at their Social Security Statement online.

For more information on the service, visit socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 8 - june 14

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A pop in your popularity might take you by surprise. Your activities are likely to receive widespread notice, so be sure to do your very best. Don’t ignore any opportunities that appear in the upcoming week.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Romance, passion and affection could seem to be a major motivating force in your life for the next several days. If you share your original ideas in the week ahead you could earn some applause for your brilliance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It might take longer than usual to learn a new technique but when you do, you will understand it thoroughly.

In the upcoming week your attention may shift from bouncing ideas around to learning to know your partner or mate better.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Being sharp is great, but you must also use the right tool in the right way. You can’t snip roses with an axe or chop wood with clippers. In the week ahead use your skills appropriately for the best results.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can relax without pressure and reassess what constitutes true happiness. Or you can put on your thinking cap and start something worthwhile while the vision is fresh. Make wise decisions in the week ahead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may feel too awkward to say what you mean, but later this week you should have a comfortable opportunity to voice your opinions clearly and completely. Don’t feel unloved if you are briefly put on the sidelines.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As this week unfolds you may need to push back against the influence of people who challenge you to increase your spending habits. Use the utmost discretion with purchases and temper impulsiveness with good business sense.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You could be spellbound by a new person or interest in the week ahead. Be alert for red flags in case all isn’t what it first seems to be. Focus on making wise and informed financial decisions with no strings attached.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the week ahead, you may focus on the things that spark joy. You won’t mind working for a living since you can find ways to make your job rewarding on many levels. Gather inventive ideas.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are aware that some people get a thrill from gaming the system. In the week ahead you will be able to maintain boundaries and elude any players who want to use you to fulfill their own agendas.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone else may receive the recognition while you do all the work. It might be wise to find a good opening in the upcoming week to mention your accomplishments and talents so that you get your fair share.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Be patient if it takes more time to reach a solution or a conclusion. Some people are too polite or not willing to be straightforward so you may need to act on faith. In the upcoming week you must trust your intuitions.

Remove the pan from the stove, and leave the chutney to cool to room temperature. Then transfer it to one or two nonreactive containers, cover and refrigerate until needed. Serve with grilled or roasted meat, poultry or seafood. The chutney will keep in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

A Hairy Recommendation Dear Joel, My friend got a new hairstyle and I think it’s awful. It’s the kind of cut you’d see on a teen pop star, complete with colored stripes. She thinks it looks great and is raving about her stylist, but I’d like to persuade her to try my stylist who could give her a look that’s more age appropriate. How do I go about getting her to try my stylist? Do you think I should try a gift card to my salon?

Judy, Brick Dear Hairy, You made me chuckle. Just last night I was looking at some old magazines, remarking at how funny some of the hairdos were. And that’s just not the ladies either. I remember when all the men were getting curly perms. Your friend’s new do is a touchy topic, because she is so

enamored with her new look, but I think your idea is a good one. You and you friend might plan a day of beauty together with your stylist. Just let your stylist play with hair and ask if she’s been thinking about changing it.

You’ll see if she’s willing to try a new look. I asked my wife about this one and the always wise Mrs. reminded me that hairstyles change all the time. Maybe if you give it a couple months, she might be over looking like the latest pop princess and more like the lady of the house.
