Oyster Creek’s Safety, Dismantling Questioned

Community News!

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

By Bob Vosseller LACEY – The decommissioning of the Oyster Creek Generating Station dominated the last of three town hall meetings that Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) held this summer.

Kim’s last meeting was held on Aug. 29 at the Lacey Middle School. Around 150 people, the majority of which were Lacey residents, came to the school’s gymnasium to hear details of the nuclear power plant’s decommissioning status.

Attendees expressed concerns about the plant’s decommissioning process noting safety, cost, and public involvement. Oyster Creek was the oldest operating nuclear power plant in the country when it closed in September 2018. Holtec International, based in Camden, purchased the facility earlier this year from Exelon Generation of Chicago.

By Bob Vosseller ORTLEY BEACH It was a dog day afternoon that stretched into the evening at the public parking lot at 3rd Avenue on Aug. 24.

The second annual “Doggie Day” hosted by the Friends of Ortley Beach ran from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. and celebrated residents and visitors’ four-legged friends.

The free event was a tribute to pets and pet lovers and gave pause to some amusing attributes of the canine community. It included a Doggie Dimensions contest which measured the longest tail, longest legs, shortest legs, longest ears and longest hair of each pooch present.

Attorney: Sex Assault Lawsuit Just For Money

By Chris Lundy OCEAN GATE – A lawsuit alleging that the superintendent sexually abused a minor was the topic of heated discussion at a recent Board of Education meeting. Parents asked how they could feel safe sending their children to school, and the board attorney answered that there have never been any charges and the lawsuit is just for money.

The suit states that in 2008, an eight-year-old summer school student was playing with her little brother. A glass cup broke, cutting her chest and her brother’s eyebrow. She had been examined by a nurse. A few days later, Superintendent Frank Vanalesti allegedly brought her into his office, closed the door, and asked her to lift up her shirt (Lawsuit - See Page 5)

Toms River, South TR Get Credit For Shopping Local

By Chris Lundy SOUTH TOMS RIVER – Toms River and South Toms River have officially partnered to offer residents programs to save money by shopping local.

The way the program works is like this: Residents sign up for the free Estate Card; and businesses agree to participate. Then, whenever the resident spends money at one of those businesses, they earn something in return. As an example of how the program will run, a retailer in the program could set a 10 percent “reward” so that a customer spending (Credit - See Page 5)

Oyster Creek:

Continued From Page 1 Holtec will decommission the 50-year-old facility that will profit off the reactor’s nearly $1 billion decommissioning trust fund, which is money set aside for dismantling the reactor.

Removing Radioactive Material Originally, Exelon had planned to dismantle the plant over a 60-year period, a process that would have allowed some of the facility’s radioactivity to degrade to safer levels. Holtec’s proposal seeks to complete the decommissioning within a decade. That was a sticking point expressed by several attendees who questioned Holtec’s ability to accomplish this in a shorter time span.

Marianne Clemente, Barnegat, asked “how did it get from 60 years to six years? What miracle technology was developed?” Other residents voiced concern about how casks of radioactive material would be safely transported off the premises.

Jeffrey Dostal, former plant manager of Oyster Creek, said he is overseeing the plant’s dismantling as an employee of Holtec and that he would be working with other former Exelon employees of Oyster Creek. “My family and I live in this area. I would not put them in harm’s way.” He pledged state of the art technology and materials would be used during the process.

Dostal added that no demolition of buildings at the plant would occur until after radioactive material was put into storage. The timetable for that is November 2021.

Representatives from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission were also in attendance at the meeting to answer questions and address points from a letter that Kim sent to NRC Chairwoman Kristine L. Svinicki on July 11.

That letter included eight questions focusing on concerns by residents who felt the NRC had not responded to their questions about decommissioning the plant.

Kim requested a written response from the NRC by Aug. 9. His office received a response

by Svinicki dated Aug. 16 addressing each question. When asked whether he was satisfied with the response to his letter, Kim said, “No, there is more here that needs to learned which is why the NRC came out today to hear the tone of the public’s concern.”

He added that “this meeting is just the beginning of a process of informing the public of what is being planned.” A meeting to include Holtec representatives will be held on Sept.

23 at the same location to delve further into the process.

Decommissioning Costs Kim asked in his letter that in the event that the cost of the plant’s decommissioning was less than the amount currently sitting in the decommissioning trust fund, would those leftover funds be returned to the taxpayer or would they be left with Holtec International?

Svinicki wrote “once a licensee has completed radiological decommissioning and the NRC has terminated the operating license, the agency no longer has jurisdiction over the decommissioning trust fund. At that time, the disposition of any remaining trust funds would be the responsibility of the former licensee, subject to any other financial obligations it may have.”

The congressman had also asked that in the event that the cost of the Oyster Creek decommissioning runs over the amount in the decommissioning trust fund, would taxpayers be liable for any additional costs stemming from this process?

Svinicki’s response was that “at all times the licensee has full responsibility to provide adequate funding for all NRC-required decommissioning activities.” She added that during the decommissioning process her agency would oversee Holtec’s decommissioning including its funding. “NRC regulations require a licensee to submit a site-specific decommissioning cost estimate that encompasses all costs required to decommission the plant.”

Lacey Councilman Peter Curatolo said after

the meeting that he was confident that Lacey residents would not be “left holding the bag.”

He said he had verified with Dostal that “in the remote event that the decommissioning fund is depleted, Holtec is the responsible party until such time the decommissioning is completed to NRC standards. I want Lacey residents assured that these safety measures and regulations are in place to protect their physical and financial well-being.”

Svinicki wrote to Kim that “NRC regulations require a licensee to submit a site-specific decommissioning cost estimate that encompasses all costs for completing radiological decommissioning.”

She added that after a plant permanently closes and until radiological decommissioning is completed, “a licensee is required to submit decommissioning funding status reports each year and certify that sufficient financial assurance for decommissioning has been provided.”

Safety Concerns Regarding the congressman’s question of whether there was any environmental impact study done at Oyster Creek prior to the license transfer and if the NRC or Holtec planned to conduct one, Svinicki wrote that the “last environmental impact statement (EIS) prepared for Oyster Creek was the Supplemental EIS issued as part of the NRC’s license renewal review in 2009.” She added that per NRC regulations, a licensee must submit a post shutdown decommissioning activities report (PSDAR) and that no environmental review was performed as part of the license transfer.”

Brick resident Janet Tauro, the Board Chair for Clean Water Action questioned the stability of the casks that contain radioactive material. This was also one of Kim’s questions which Svinicki responded to saying NRC staff “performs inspections at the cask fabricators’ facilities to ensure that regulatory requirements are met during the design and production phases.”

She added that routine safety inspections are performed every two years.

Kim included in his letter that “over the course

of the life of the Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) at Oyster Creek, will Holtec be responsible for the long-term safety and repair of casks and what are the best practices that will define Holtec’s responsibilities?”

Svinicki responded, “yes, Holtec is responsible for the safety of the casks and any necessary repairs for as long as it is the license holder.”

Forming A Community Advisory Group The subject of establishing a citizens advisory group was another hot button issue discussed at the meeting. Kim had asked about this in his letter. Svinicki responded saying, that to date, the NRC had not been informed of any plans to form such an entity. “The NRC encourages licensees to sponsor community advisory boards for decommissioning.”

Lacey Mayor Timothy McDonald said during the meeting that “we had a good relationship with Exelon and we want to see the concerns of Lacey are heard. We want to see the process put together for this very carefully.”

“The process of how this plant is decommissioned must be transparent. These are big complicated issues and you are right to be concerned,” Kim said.

Members of the group Concerned Citizens of Lacey spoke up saying they would like to see a citizen’s advisory group formed immediately.

Oyster Creek however was not the only topic some attendees wanted discussed. A few area residents sat in the audience holding signs calling for Medicare for all.

Thomas Cannavo, Beachwood, is a member of the New Jersey Universal Health Care Coalition. “I would like to see Congressman Kim co-sponsor HR 1384, the Medicare for All Act of 2019. The majority of Democrats in the House have signed on, 118. We need a single payer system which covers everyone from cradle to grave.”

This meeting marked Kim’s eleventh Town Hall during the 116th Congress, and part of a monthly series to allow him to hear directly from constituents throughout New Jersey’s Third District.

ARTHRITIS AND THE EYES

While most people generally think of arthritis as a disease that afflicts joints with inflammation, “rheumatoid arthritis,” in particular, may also affect the eyes. About 20 percent of individuals over the age of 18 years are diagnosed with some form of arthritis.

Those who experience consequent eye problems (the majority of whom are women) are usually affected in both eyes. These eye problems tend to worsen as arthritis progresses.

The most common arthritis-related eye problems include “keratitis sicca” (commonly known as “dry eye syndrome”); “scleritis” (inflammation of the white part of the eye, the sclera); “uveitis” (inflammation of the uvea, the vascular area of the eye found between the retina and the sclera); cataracts; and glaucoma.

Think of your eye as a microcosm of your entire body. Any inflammatory condition that affects collagen – the main component of connective tissue – such as arthritis, can affect the sclera and the cornea. Most people who experience arthritis-related eye problems are women.

These eye problems tend to worsen as arthritis progresses. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, our experienced physicians and knowledgeable staff are dedicated to providing you with the very best in patient care. To schedule an eye exam, please call 732-349-5622.

Lawsuit:

charges, so the plaintiff is looking to get money out of the district, the attorney said.

“A civil lawsuit is a lawsuit seeking money,” he said. The reason this is coming up now is that there has been a change in how lawsuits can be filed. The statute of limitations has been extended.

The lawsuit notes this statute as well. It mentions that the law changed in May, a month before the lawsuit was filed. The legislation extended the statute of limitations and created a two-year window for people who had been allegedly victimized prior to this year.

The Ocean Gate police, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, and the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency (formerly DYFS) all investigated and there were no charges filed, Supsie said.

This newspaper fi led an Open Public Records Act request with the prosecutor’s office to view any charges against Vanal-

esti and the request turned up empty.

Parents asked if the board had their own investigation, but Supsie said that with local, county and state investigators all coming up with the same answer, there was no need. Additionally, board of education members are not investigators and lack the training to conduct a proper investigation.

After being told that there is no proof of wrongdoing, a parent shouted “we’re supposed to swallow that?”

“I understand it’s upsetting,” Supsie said.

“What would make you feel safe? I can only give you factual information.

“There are a lot of assumptions because a lawyer put something on a piece of paper,” he said.

A woman who identified herself as the vice president of the Parent Teacher Organization went to bat for the district.

“Your child is safer here than probably any other school in Ocean County,” she

said. “This is a lawsuit to defame him and to get money. You’re not listening to what (the board) lawyer is telling you.”

Another parent emotionally defended the board and the superintendent. “It’s unbelievable that you would not listen to the facts. That man would give his life for these kids. This is not fair to the teachers, or the board. People are listening to Facebook and unfounded information instead of the facts right in front of them.”

The attorney for the plaintiffs, Robert Fuggi, was interviewed for this story the week after the meeting by Jersey Shore Online. He dismissed the claim that the lawsuit was only for money.

There are civil damages in this suit, but it’s due to the harm they lived with, he said. The two minor children who claim to have been sexually assaulted wouldn’t consider it to be for money only.

“These are very serious allegations,” he said.

A Facebook post issued a call to action for residents to come out to protest at a Board of Education meeting. About half a dozen spoke in the small room. The meeting was filmed by a resident and posted online.

“It felt like a punch in the gut,” one parent said, especially to learn about it over the summer.

“How do you expect us to send our kids to school on Sept. 4?” another asked.

The attorney for the board, Christopher Supsie, did the talking for the school officials, as is often the case when there are legal matters.

“There’s been no charges filed. There’s been no new evidence. Those allegations lacked merit,” Supsie said. “Now it’s a civil lawsuit in federal court.”

Investigators found no reason to press

Continued From Page 1 $100 would have $10 credited toward their property taxes when using the Estate Card.

It’s a first-of-its-kind program in the area, South Toms River clerk and business administrator Joseph Kostecki said. While some towns have shop local cards, this is unique in that Toms River residents get a discount shopping in South Toms River, and vice versa.

When a card holder spends money at one of the participating businesses, they receive a credit applied automatically to their taxes.

A Toms River resident will earn money on their Toms River taxes no matter whether the shop is in Toms River or South Toms

Continued From Page 1 many of them have a focus on our sensitive environment.”

She added that after the events of Superstorm Sandy, which had a devastating impact on Ortley Beach, which is a section of Toms River Township, “I noticed a difference.

Many of us felt we had lost our sense of community and it was important to get back that feeling of a neighborhood. We wanted to let people know that we were more than a middle point between Seaside Heights and Lavallette.”

D’Amico said the group has 137 members and is growing. “We’re not affiliated with the local voters and taxpayers association. We focus on other things and we even started a scholarship program for students living in Ortley Beach. We hope to expand that program in the future. This is about community building.”

A number of vendors were present selling various treats, bandanas, toys, balms and other pet related services including grooming and microchipping. Various veterinary services and health professionals were also on site along with animal rescue organizations promoting the need for pet adoptions.

“We have at least 50 dogs here already and it’s just a half hour into the event. We hope to have about 1,000 people here today,” D’Amico said.

Member Mary Ann Wallis coordinated the project again this year with help from other members.

“My dog is here too. Rosco is half boxer and half …I have no idea. I think he’s a little calmer this year than he was last year. This is fun and people love their dogs in Ortley Beach.

I’ve gotten to know a lot of people through walking around and talking to them as we walk our dogs. It’s a great way of making new friends,” Wallis said.

A training demonstration by Kindred Souls Canine Training Center of Howell was held

early on during the event. Training Director Peter Campione said, “You have to imagine that your dog is a small human. Would you treat your child as you would your dog? The object here is to walk your dog through this crowd and not have an incident.”

Dori, a 7-year-old Doberman Pinscher was among the dogs who participated in a training demonstration. “She is a certified therapy dog,” Kindred Souls representative Pam Miller, of Brick said.

All Fur One volunteer Sue Casella, Brick wasn’t sure what breed dog Jax was. The oneyear old pooch was among 28 dogs brought from a kill shelter in Virginia seeking a new “leash” on life.

Casella said All Fur One is involved with pet rescue and adoptions and is based in Toms River. “They opened in May and were looking for volunteers so I volunteered,” Casella said. The organization can be reached by calling 732-255-3871 or visiting allfurone.org.

Valerie Horoski, Brick, brought Higgins, her 4-year-old English sheepdog to the event.

“This is my first year here. My friend told me about it. He was just measured for his hair which is quite long,” Horoski said.

Raffle prizes were awarded and pets and people had the chance to enjoy some refreshments from the Sugar Shack snack bar during the event.

The group’s next event is part of its speaker series called “Shellfish and the Barnegat Bay” at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 4 at St. Elizabeth’s Chapel, Five, 3rd Ave. Ortley Beach.

The event’s speaker is Cheryl McCurry of ReClam the Bay who will discuss the group’s efforts to grow clams and oysters to improve the health of the Barnegat Bay. McCurry has been with ReClaim the Bay since 2017 and graduated from a Rutgers university sponsored class in Shellfish Gardening/Coastal Stewardship.

The event is free and will include light refreshments. New members and guests are encouraged. The group can be reached at friendsofortleybeach.org.

BERKELEY – On September 12 the Berkeley Township Historical Society will be hosting Mr. William Wientzen at its regular monthly meeting.

Mr. Wientzen is a resident of Lanoka Harbor and a long time Civil War reenactor. As a reenactor he portrays a member of a detachment of U.S. Engineers. At the outbreak of the Civil War the army was comprised almost entirely of three branches; infantry, cavalry, and artillery.

The history of the war has traditionally been viewed exclusively through the exploits of these branches. But they were not the only soldiers to serve. Lost in the immense volume of heroism and sacrifice of the combat arms is the significant con-

tribution of another group, engineers. The versatility of officers in the Army Corps of Engineers contributed to the success of numerous missions throughout the Civil War. They were responsible for building pontoon and railroad bridges, forts and batteries, the destruction of enemy supply lines, the construction of roads and providing maps.

Members of the public are welcome to this program and there are no admission fees. Light refreshments follow the program. Plan to attend and learn more about this branch of the Grand Army of The Republic. The meeting will be in the Berkeley Township Recreation Building, 630 Route 9, Bayville beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Cost: 5K Run $25; 5K Walk $15; 1 Mile Fun Run $15. Register at chipmiller.org under events.

Same day registration starts at 7 a.m. with price increase. Awards given to the top finishers and children under 12. All 5K runners and walkers can join the after party at Bum Rogers in Seaside Park.

Hugh Claus, an Army vet and longtime resident of Beachwood, lost his life to a rare disease called Amyloidosis in 2013.

His daughter organized this 5K Run to raise money for Amyloidosis.All proceeds to benefit the Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation.

Each year 3000 cases of Amyloidosis are diagnosed in the United States. Amyloidosis

is generally a disease of middle-aged people and older, although the disease has been seen in individuals in their thirties. Men are more likely to be affected than women by a ratio of about 1.5:1.

With early diagnosis, the outlook for patients with Amyloidosis has shifted to hopeful in the last decade. The early diagnosis allows treatment to begin before the amyloid protein build-up in the body becomes too great to overcome. Without treatment, the outlook for patients with AL Amyloidosis is not good, many passing away within 18 to 24 months after diagnosis. Early diagnosis is the key to managing the disease.

Funds raised at events like this help researchers in their development of new ways to diagnose and treat this dreaded disease.

Any and all types of vendors wanted. Contact Patty Claus at hughclausmemorialrun@ gmail.com or 732-278-4201.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Community Foundation Of South Jersey Receives A $75,000 Major Grant

TOMS RIVER – The Community Foundation of South Jersey has been awarded a three-year grant totaling $75,000 for the Transform South Jersey Initiative by OceanFirst Foundation. The Community Foundation of South Jersey helps South Jersey residents harness the power of philanthropy to transform their communities and the issues they care about most.

With the support of OceanFirst Foundation and other generous partners including New Jersey Health Initiatives (the statewide grant making program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation), the Orton Family Foundation, and the Wells Fargo Regional Community Development Corporation, Transform South Jersey is looking to support up to five South Jersey communities in applying to become a Transform South Jersey Heart & Soul Community.

This new grant opportunity opens late September and is available to municipalities with a population of less than 50,000 residents, from Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Ocean and Salem counties. Transform South Jersey will strengthen the social, cultural and

economic vibrancy of five South Jersey communities by empowering residents to impact community development and shape the future based on what matters most to them.

All civic leaders, individuals and representatives of local government, community and economic development entities, civic groups and other nonprofit and philanthropic organizations in eligible counties are encouraged to apply, but must register and attend an in-person community workshop before doing so. Interested applicants can find details and register for the workshops at transformsouthjersey.org/get-involved.

“This grant from the OceanFirst Foundation came at a pivotal time for Transform South Jersey. Having just started the work to officially launch the initiative, it allowed us the flexibility to enhance program elements and address gaps that became apparent during the planning process. Grants aren’t often structured like this and speak to the Foundation’s grantmaking approach to being a true partner & collaborator,” said Andy Fraizer, Executive Director, Community Foundation of South Jersey.

Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital Of Toms River Approaching Refresh Completion

TOMS RIVER – On Jan. 1, 2019, HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Toms River officially rebranded itself as Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Toms River. But taking on the Encompass Health name was only the fi rst step in the hospital’s mission to better serve the needs of its community. To support that mission, the hospital is rebuilding and upgrading its existing facilities, and adding additional wings.

Encompass Health Toms River is in the fi nal stages of a four-phase process, which began in 2016, to update its hospital. The hospital has been actively refreshing each of its wings, with intentions of improving the experience and outcomes of the hospital’s patients. The hospital is on track to complete the refresh in March 2020.

“Our purpose is to serve our community.

We know we have the best team of experts and the best rehabilitation programs, but we wanted to give our patients access to the most beneficial environment for their rehabilitation as well,” said Patty Ostazeweski, CEO of Encompass Health Toms River. “When we took on the Encompass Health brand in January, we promised

Prosecutor’s Office Launches New Website

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office launched its new website today, highlighting breaking news, press releases, community outreach, employment opportunities and special announcements.

The new website can be fou nd at OCPONJ.gov.

“Our new website has been created with the user’s experience in mind and is easy to navigate on mobile devices, desktops, laptops, and tablets,” Prosecutor Billhimer stated. “After many starts and stops, we were fi nally able to fi nish this project utilizing the expertise of an outside vendor.”

Prosecutor Billhimer noted that the OCPO has been utilizing to social media to disperse information to the public, which it will continue to do with the help of the new site.

“It is unfortunate that the important work of this office has not had a presence on the internet. Our lack of a website since the beginning of my administration has lead us to utilize social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. We will continue to maintain our presence on those social media platforms, but the information will now be pushed out from our website,” Prosecutor Billhimer added.

our community that while we had a new name, we were still committed to giving them the best possible rehabilitation care. This refresh is a fulfi llment of that process.”

The hospital’s rooms have been updated to better suit patients’ needs, and it

will now offer 72 private rooms and 13 semi-private rooms. The hospital will also feature bariatric suites and hemodialysis suites, allowing patients to receive the specialized level of care they need on-site.

About Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Toms River

Encompass Health Toms River is a 98bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital that offers comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation services. Serving patients throughout New Jersey, the hospital is located at 14 Hospital Drive and on the web at encompasshealth.com/tomsriverrehab.

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

Come On In And Bring A Friend Or Loved One!

In a study commissioned by the National Council on Aging, not only did adults treated for hearing loss report significant improvements in relationships, mental health, and other important areas of life, but their families reported improvements, too! Hearing loss can take a toll on the person experiencing it and on those closest to them, making it more challenging to fully experience life together, so it’s no wonder that starting the journey to better hearing is even easier with a companion along to help.

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT It’s not always easy to acknowledge hearing difficulties or get help. Nearly all hearing loss can be effectively managed, but only a fraction of those who could benefit from hearing aids use them. A companion can offer emotional support, reminding you that you deserve better hearing and a better quality of life.

BALANCED PERSPECTIVE Others perceive you differently than you perceive yourself, which can be valuable when describing your listening needs and challenges. For example, your companion can help you give a more complete picture of potential Sound Voids, those gaps experienced in everyday life because of reduced sound clarity.

ENHANCED UNDERSTANDING The

better-hearing journey involves a lot of new information and exciting technology. During an appointment, your companion can ask questions you might not have considered, help with note-taking, and later remind you about relevant follow-up activities.

DEEPER AWARENESS Just as you may not realize how much your potential hearing loss affects your loved ones, they may not fully realize its impact on you. Your companion’s presence can help their awareness and ability to be your best advocate as you make important hearing care decisions.

TECHNOLOGY TESTING When exploring new hearing technology, it helps to have a familiar voice in the room with you.

Listening to your companion’s voice while trying out selected hearing aids helps you provide helpful feedback to the hearing care specialist who’s adjusting the devices.

COME ON IN & Bring a SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU If you’re having difficulty hearing or haven’t had your hearing checked in a while. Call us for an appointment today at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/ Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin).

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

7 Natural Remedies To Treat Psoriasis

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Many people take “biologic” drugs that have anti-inflammatory actions on the body and reduce the symptoms of auto-immune conditions like ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn’s disease, psoriasis, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.

A few names of these biologic drugs include Remicade, Humira or Enbrel.

These work well for those people who have an over-active immune system. If I could think of one negative, it would be that they don’t cure or eliminate the root cause of the self-attack.

Just three weeks ago, a study published in JAMA Cardiology found that using some of these medications could have a beneficial impact on the cardiovascular system. This makes sense to me because after all, the drugs are reducing inflammation chemicals in the body, including those that would hurt the heart.

But due to side effects of biologic drugs, not everyone can take them.

Some people cannot afford them. While my suggestions below are not nearly as strong as biologic medications, they might prove to be useful as adjunctive therapy. These remedies also do not suppress immunity. While these are certainly good ideas, I want you to ask your doctor if these are right for you before self-treating: Fish Oil. Fish oils has consistently been shown to support skin health.

Studies have shown that taking fish oil seems to help with itching, redness, and the size of the skin lesions. The reason this supplement may work for some people is because there might be

a glitch in your fatty acid metabolism.

Omega-3 supplements improve redness, thickness, and scaling.

GLA. If your body is deficient in an enzyme that converts dietary fats into compounds that are required for healthy skin, then GLA could help. If you have more Cis-Linoleic Acid and less of the desired Gamma Linoleic Acid or GLA, you could have more flare ups.

Sulfur or Kampuku. Sulfur can be purchased as a soap, and it’s drying.

It will ’pull’ dirt from skin cells, and unclog the pores so it’s fabulous for acne. Sulfur is not sulfa. My next best secret is the Kampuku Beauty Bar by Dr. Ohhira brand. It contains a blend of skin-loving probiotics to help restore healthy microflora to your skin cells.

This is instantly soothing and will strengthen your skin’s natural barrier.

Apple Cider Vinegar or Tea Tree Oil. A fungi called Malassezia may be involved in seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis and eczema and it’s hard to destroy this invader. You could try a diluted application of tea tree essential oil. You could also do a 50/50 mix of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) with water. Both of these have some evidence behind them.

Boswellia. This herb is a strong anti-inflammatory and sometimes taken internally for rheumatoid arthritis, asthma and osteoarthritis. It is available in topical form and studies prove it can help reduce itching, redness and scaling. For more information on topical boswellia, write me at scriptessentials@gmail.com.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law New Jersey’s Wrongful Death Law

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Michael J, Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

The success of a Wrongful Death claim depends not only on the merits of your case, but also your attorney’s knowledge and understanding of New Jersey’s Wrongful Death law. Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates has lectured to New Jersey’s Trail Lawyers about handling Wrongful Death claims.

A Wrongful Death action is a statutory cause of action that permits recovery of pecuniary losses for the death of a family member.

(N.J.S.A. 2A:31-1). This statute does not permit recovery for emotional distress, pain and suffering and other types of non-pecuniary losses. However, non-pecuniary losses may be recovered under New Jersey’s Survival Act which we will address in next month’s publication. The Wrongful Death Act benefits the heirs of the deceased while the Survival Act provides a remedy to a decedent’s executor or administrator.

The Wrongful Death statute does not go into very much detail when it comes to defining the types of pecuniary damages that are recoverable when a family member is killed due to the negligence of another. Fortunately, our Courts have been fairly creative defining the types of damages recoverable in a Wrongful Death action since the statute does not go into much detail in defining pecuniary loss. Wrongful Death claims seek to recover compensation for the value of pecuniary damages such as loss of household services, loss of companionship, advice, guidance, counsel and loss of earning capacity.

Only attorneys with a firm grasp of the law will routinely recover maximum pecuniary compensation for their clients.

Pecuniary losses under the Wrongful Death Act are recoverable only by the decedent’s next of kin-heirs at law. Recovery of pecuniary loss does not become a part of the decedent’s

estate. In fact the statute specifically states that Michael J. Deem “the amount recovered in proceedings under this chapter shall be for the exclusive benefit of the persons entitled to take any intestate personal property of the decedent...” Therefore, the first step is to determine the class of people entitled to take under the intestacy laws of New Jersey. (See N.J.S.A. 3B:5-3 and N.J.S.A.3B:5-4). Once the heirs have been identified, the next step is to determine which heirs were “dependent” on the decedent at the time of his/her death. In fact the Act states that “if any person so entitled... were dependent on the decedent at his death, they shall take the same as though they were the sole persons so entitled, in such proportions as shall be determined by the court...” What this means is that it may not be enough that you are a legal heir under the intestacy statute, because any heir that was also dependent on the decedent at the time of his death will take as though they were the sole person entitled and to the exclusion of all other identified heirs who were not dependent.

Dependency must be actual and not merely legal. Pecuniary damages may not be implied from the relationship with the decedent.

Although it may be partial it must be of a substantial degree. For example, occasional gifts made by a parent to a child, without more, does not establish dependency. In essence, your level of dependency may entitle you to greater percentage of the recovery than the next dependent heir.

If you or a loved one have any questions about a potential Wrongful Death case please contact Michael J. Deem. Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Officials: Keep An Eye On Your Child’s Vision Health

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – New school year, new backpack, new clothes…new glasses? Ocean County Health Department officials are reminding parents to keep an eye on their children’s eye heath as we begin another school year.

According to the Ocean County Health Department, over one in four students in the US suffer from undiagnosed vision problems.

Vison problems in schools can affect academic performance when a child can’t properly see the blackboard, computer screen or book they’re reading. Studies show that approximately 80 percent of what a child learns in school is information through visual presentation, so healthy vision is imperative when it comes to concentration and engaging in lessons.

“The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) wants to remind parents about the importance of children’s eye health as we start to gear up for another school year,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “Early detection of vision problems can make all the difference for a child in the classroom.”

Good news is that it is now state law mandates young students 6 and under, entering public schools or Head Start Programs, must receive

THE BERKELEY TIMES

a comprehensive eye exam. A comprehensive exam can provide a more definitive assessment and appropriate treatment so children can start their learning journey with adequate vision skills.

According to the American Optometric Association, a child’s vision can change frequently during the course of the school year.

Parents should keep an eye out for the following symptoms: • Headaches from eye strain • Short attention span • Excessive blinking or eye rubbing • Poor hand-eye coordination • Difficulty remembering what was read • Covering one eye • Holding materials close to the face.

“The goal is to educate parents about the critical relationship between vision and learning,” said Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator. “Students should not have to struggle getting through their studies due to a lack of undetected vision issues. As parents we look for so many health concerns but we can’t forget how important eye sight is to their academic success.”

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

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fuel up so that you can get a great deal of work accomplished today. There are numerous tasks on your to-do list, but don’t worry: There should be some spare time to complete them as the week unfolds.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Put on your party hat and sunglasses. It won’t take much effort to have a great time in social settings or to tantalize a romantic partner.

Your week ahead may be filled with entertaining moments.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Write your own narrative. In the upcoming week, take charge of conversations and funnel them into more appropriate channels. Share ideas and strike a chord with like-minded companions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may receive the go-ahead to pursue your most important goals in the week ahead. An unexpected phone call might bring you a crucial piece of information that will save you time or trouble.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If there is a holiday or an extra day off in the week ahead, make the most of it. Attend a sporting event or participate in one. Collaborating with others could put extra dollars in your piggy bank.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Now is the time to be confident and assertive. You could start the week filled with immense drive and initiative that could help you overcome an inclination to be bashful about asking for what you need or want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Fill the glasses to the brim and fire up the barbecue.

Enjoy your day with family and friends, but be ready for a few extra people. An organized approach makes things run smoothly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Just be your best self. You don’t need to try to be someone you are not to make a great impression on new acquaintances this week or to mesmerize a special romantic partner.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your heart is in the right place, but enthusiasm for social activities at any cost could cause you to go overboard in the early part of the week.

Count every dollar before you spend it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): While attending to immediate needs, some basic housework and minor repairs may have gone unattended. If you have an extra day off this week, spend some time cleaning and beautifying your space while you can to create a little more Zen. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you have it, flaunt it. You may have a sudden desire to share the best of everything and show off your comfortable surroundings.

Embrace opportunities to entertain guests in the week ahead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Avoid confrontations, particularly when it comes to headline news. A cool head, calm demeanor and your ability to read the situation and go with the flow will serve you well. Pay attention to how others in the room interact.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Japan Meets Italy: Asian-Fusion Pasta Dish Perfect For Casual Summer Entertaining

By Wolfgang Puck

Is there really any other style of entertaining than casual during the summer months? Even for the most formal occasions my team and I focus on a warm, relaxed feeling this time of year. Same goes for at-home cooks. And that doesn’t just apply to meals that you cook outside on the grill.

Indoors, too, casual style food is the right way to go in August. As a matter of fact, one of the most appealing main dishes I’ve come across recently captures the relaxed pleasures of summer in a unique new way.

It’s a recipe from Dylan Hallas, chef de cuisine at Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill in the MGM Grand Hotel, Las Vegas.

The following dish perfectly combines the home-style pleasures of a classic Italian pasta dish with the kind of sitback-and-enjoy-yourself fare served in izakayas, the popular Japanese pubs that specialize in foods meant to be eaten with lots of beer, the rice wine known as sake or the potent distilled beverage called shochu.

Hallas’ inspiration for the dish was linguine with clams. It’s something you’ll see many people enjoying in Italian trattorias: Fresh clams in the shell, quickly steamed with olive oil or butter, lots of garlic and white wine, and then tossed with linguine.

Instead of the usual garlic, however, Hallas’ recipe substitutes leeks, scallions and shishito peppers, the long, dark-green, mildly spicy Japanese chilies, now widely available in wellstocked markets, that have recently become the rage when seared as an appetizer. Adding more flavor and rich body to the sauce: a generous splash of sake and a couple of teaspoons of white miso paste, which you’ll find in the refrigerated section of many markets. All those ingredients join together to capture a savory, undeniably appealing quality the Japanese define with the word: umami. Or, as Hallas puts it, “they give this typically Italian dish a very distinct Japanese flavor profile.”

I’m very proud that such a simple, yet creative recipe developed within one of my restaurants.

It reflects a spirit of openness to new flavors and culinary experimentation that harks back to the early days of my Chinois on Main restaurant in Santa Monica, where in 1983 my chefs and I began combining Chinese traditions, contemporary French cooking techniques and fresh California ingredients to create a cuisine that came to be known as Asian-fusion.

I hope this recipe will inspire you, too, as you entertain casually, not just right now but throughout the year.

J A PA N E S E - S T Y L E L I N G U I N E WITH CLAMS Serves 4 3 pounds (1.5 kg) fresh Manila or littleneck clams Kosher salt 8 fresh shishito peppers 2 green onions, trimmed 3/4 pound (375 g) dried linguine 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/3 cup sake 2 teaspoons white miso paste Rinse the clams thoroughly under cold running water to remove any sand or dirt from the outside of their shells. Then put them in a large basin of cold salted water, and leave them to soak for about 15 minutes, agitating them occasionally, rubbing them together and changing the water several times to eliminate any dirt of sand they might expel. Drain well.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

Meanwhile, use a sharp knife to cut the shishito peppers crosswise into slices about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick, leaving the seeds in the slices for a little heat. Set aside in a bowl.

Separate the white and green parts of the green onions. Cut them crosswise into slices about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick, setting the white and green pieces aside in separate bowls.

When the water is boiling, add some salt and cook the linguine until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the suggested cooking time on the package, usually 9 to 11 minutes.

As soon as the pasta starts cooking, heat a large saute pan, with a lid, or a pot over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and, as soon as it has melted, add the sliced shishitos and the sliced white scallion pieces; saute, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.

Raise the heat to high, and add the sake, miso and clams. Stir well to dissolve the miso. Cover and cook until the clams have opened, shaking the pan occasionally to promote even cooking, about 5 minutes.

Use a slotted spoon or tongs to divide the clams among four warmed shallow pasta serving bowls, discarding any unopened clams and leaving the clam broth and vegetables in the pan. Return the pan to the heat, and add the sliced green onion and remaining butter.

Immediately drain the pasta, and add it to the pan, tossing it with tongs to coat it thoroughly with the sauce. Season to taste with more salt.

With tongs, divide the pasta evenly among the plates of clams. Spoon the remaining juices and vegetables from the pot over each serving. Serve immediately.
