The patriotism of Memorial Day could possibly mean decorating your home with several small

flags to adorn your lawn. A couple flags lining the property, to give it some red, white and blue. The symbolism is heavier at Southern Regional High School. The flags there number more than 6,800. Student volun-teers carefully line them up outside the school, in a tremendous display that turns nearly the entire front of the campus from a green lawn into one flickering with flags – the Field of Flags. And each 12-by-18-inch flag represents a life lost – 6,848 flags – of U.S. soldiers

By Chris Christopher BERKELEY – It hasn’t taken long for Justin Fumando long to fall in love with Berkeley Township, the home of Central Regional High School. “It’s a blue collar town,” said Fumando, named the Golden Eagles’ head football coach for the 2016 season by the Central Regional Board of Education on May 19. “It has tough kids and players who will go to work for you. I am willing to hang my hat on that. These kids have a great work ethic. This town will bring it. The town will provide those tough blue collar athletes who you want to form the backbone of your team. “I want us to be a physical, tough and smart team.” Fumando takes over for Willie Jacobs, who stepped down after three seasons. Jacobs, a former Central player and assistant coach, guided the Golden Eagles to a 19-12 record since 2013. In 2014, Central shared the Shore Conference Class B South title with Barnegat and won an NJSIAA South Jersey Group III playoff game. The title and playoff win were Central’s

By Chris Christopher One of the most bitter high school rivalries in the Shore Conference will be renewed. The Lacey Alumni versus Cen-tral Regional Alumni Football Game will take place June 4 at Central Regional at 6:30 p.m. For many years, Lacey’s Lions and Central’s Golden Eagles clashed on Thanksgiving Day. There were years when the games were followed by an NJSIAA sec-tional championship game. Creat-ed from the rib of Central, Lacey

By J. Mark Mutter As we celebrate Memorial Day this year, a recent discovery in our local archives reminds us of what it’s truly all about. Hidden away in our old records was the 1943 school yearbook – The Cedar Chest” – of Toms River High School (now High School South). This “war edition” was “only a shadow of its former self” it proclaimed – due to the ongoing effort in the Second World War. 1943: The Axis powers surren-

in the global War on Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Blessing of the Fleet

It’s not the only local event that has become a tradition for the area. For more than 20 years, the Blessing of the Fleet event off Berkeley Shores draws boaters from the local lagoons but also the Coast Guard, Junior ROTC and clergy as part of an event that is part boat parade, part benediction and part memorial ceremony. Whether pontoon, whaler, luxury yacht or kayak, the boats are decorated patriotically and parade out of the Amherst Avenue inlet

into the Barnegat Bay before a ceremony begins, which is also broadcast on the maritime channel. A wreath laying takes place on the water, with participants urged to lay a flower onto the bay as part of the ceremony. Taps is played, and a benediction, which last year was from Father Stas’ of St. Barna-bas, is also part of the ceremony.

This year’s Blessing of the Fleet is May 29, rain date of May 30. Boaters should head out to east of Buoy #39 around noon. After the ceremony, a picnic is hosted by the Berkeley Shores Homeowners Association on the beach.

Field of Flags The Field of Flags display is an annual tra-dition for Southern Regional, whose student volunteers and school staff help to spraypaint the straight lines for the grid that make up the careful placement of flags. Then, there is the tremendous task of placing them, which began May 26. Southern’s Air Force Junior ROTC cadets place the flags throughout the day. On May 27, a Memorial Day Service is planned on the Southern Regional site with students and community in attendance. This ceremony is open to all. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held in the audi-torium. There will be a more than 100 students participating in the choir, orchestra and student readings. The community is invited to attend this ceremony. The hope is that the Stafford community, as well as the student body, will begin the holiday weekend fully realizing the purpose behind the holiday. The flags will remain in place through the holiday weekend, often drawing crowds who walk among the rows or read the inscriptions from the wreath-laying ceremony or the school’s message board, to reflect as part of

Memorial Day. For more information on this project, contact Senior Master Sgt. Mark Irvin at [email protected]. Of those more than 6,800 flags, those with New Jersey roots number more than 125. Two are remembered here, both graduates of Central Regional.

Cpl. Christopher Monahan Jr. Marine Cpl. Christopher Monahan Jr., 25, was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan on November 26, 2012. It was his third deployment since joining the Marines in 2006. He was a graduate of Central Regional High School Class of 2005. Monahan received the Distinguished Service Medal, Purple Heart and other medals. He served with the Combat Logistics Battalion 2, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, II Marine Expeditionary Force.

Sgt. John A. Lyons John A. Lyons, 26, a sergeant in the Army, graduated in 2003 from Central Regional. He was killed in Afghanistan in 2011 just before he was scheduled to come home. Lyons was assigned to the 8th Engineer Bat-talion, 36th Engineer Brigade at Fort Hood, Texas. He was the recipient of the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Good Conduct Medal, NATO Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal with Campaign Star, the Overseas, Army Service and National Defense Ribbons and the Global War on Terrorism, for which he received Ser-vice and Expeditionary Medals. Lyons also led

the winning team of the annual Bataan Death March Event in New Mexico. Lyons joined the military in February 2009 as a combat engineer. In October 2011, he died from wounds suffered when insurgents in Afghanistan attacked his unit. He was the recipient of the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart posthumously. Lyons was born in Peterborough, N.H. in 1981, and resided in Seaside Park. He attended Rutgers University and graduated with degrees in political science and Latin in 2008. Monahan and Lyons are two of five soldiers memorialized at Central Regional, which has erected a monument naming the alumni who were killed in combat. The memorial reads “In grateful tribute to the men and women who served in the armed forces of our country.”

Ocean County Memorial The county memorial in downtown Toms River, where amid the flowers and shrubs near the parking garage and county administration building on Hooper Avenue, is black marble, etched with a brightly colored American Flag. It is affixed with 13 bronze nameplates -- each bearing a name, age, rank, town and date. “Ocean County remembers our fallen heroes in the War Against Terror,” the memorial reads. The names engraved there: Army Spc. Christopher Duffy, 26, of Brick, was killed on June 4, 2004 when his convoy was attacked. Marine Sgt. Alan Sherman, 36, of Brick, killed on June 29, 2004 by an explosive device

OFFICE CLOSED: Saturday and Sunday

Each passing year, holidays get more and more commer-cial. And it seems Memorial Day has become one of them. Stores try to one-up each other and offer the best deals in order to bring in the customers. And it works. Most of us can admit to searching the sales fliers, comparing prices of hamburg-ers and hotdogs, and all of the other “essential” items for our annual get-together to kick off the summer season. After we return home from our trip to the supermarket, we have to begin preparing. There are so many things on the to-do list. Clean the house, mow the lawn, open the pool, decorate, and finally, we must don our aprons and get to work on the tasty barbeque fare that will blanket our counters and tables. With all the planning and shopping, and of course, the celebrating, it’s fairly easy to forget why we have off from work and why the kids are home from school that day. Well, prepare to be reminded. It’s Memorial Day. A day that was meant to honor the brave members of the United States military who gave their lives for this country. Every day, every hour, every minute, and every second, there are men and women who put their lives on the line. Not only do they keep us from physical harm, they fight to ensure that the rights given to us by our forefathers remain intact. Rights that grant us freedom and rights that sometimes get taken for granted. Freedom certainly is not free. We receive a grim reminder of that fact every time the news reports that the lives of yet more American troops have

been lost. Memorial Day is a special day set aside to give us the opportunity to honor those heroes from our nation’s past and present. This weekend, citizens across the country will have the chance to participate in Memorial Day ceremonies in their own communities. But the reality is, most will not attend. We get preoccupied with the festivities of the week-end. But we need to make it priority. Make time to attend a ceremony. Take a few minutes to step away from the party and reflect. Reserve a seat at the ta-ble for a serviceman or woman who was killed in action, a ges-ture that serves as a constant reminder to party guests that there’s more meaning to the weekend than just celebrating the unofficial start of summer. For some families, though, that void at the table is very personal. That empty spot is an outward expression of the hole in their hearts from the loss of someone they have dearly loved. A father, mother, sister, brother, a friend. In any case, a member of the United States Armed Forces who gave everything for love of country. So this Memorial Day, pay tribute to those who have been killed in the line of duty, to the sons and daughters of America who fought and died for our independence. Ameri-can troops have and continue to battle on the front lines EVERY DAY to protect our freedom. We need to make it our mission to recognize their sacrifice this ONE DAY. One day. One day a year for the ultimate sacrifices of millions of Americans throughout our country’s history. It’s the very least we can do.

Remember What Memorial Day Is Really About

Gardening and hiking sea-son is in full swing, which means I have Lyme disease on my mind. May is Lyme Disease Aware-

I take this opportunity to re-ply to the gentlemen who has cherry-picked history to make his argument in the letter “A History Lesson For Liberals.” Yes, President Carter promot-ed private home ownership, as social scientists have proven time and again that home ownership results in good neighborhoods when people feel invested in them. Some people will have reversals in fortune, and entire towns and cities are effected when indus-tries downsize, lay-off, close and move away, and these citizens should not be vilified or President Carter blamed for these circumstances. Plans and hopes were made, and in many cases succeeded; it is reckless and dishonest to say it was all a waste of tax dollars. Really, who could say the Edsel, Betamax tapes, and Blockbuster would all fail? President Clinton did not repeal a 1933 banking law – Republican majorities in the House and the Senate fulfilled the wishes of their friends on Wall Street and repealed the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. Yes, President Clinton signed it, and some

ness Month, but “Lyme sea-son” depends heavily on the weather and climate. Weather and climate also help restrict most Lyme cases to the Mid-west and Northeast. New Jersey is one of just 14 states that accounted for 96 percent of confirmed cases in 2014 (per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). I’ve had the tick-borne illness twice since 2012. Both times, I endured months of mysterious and painful symptoms before I was successfully treated. My doctor counseled me to stay quiet about the disease to avoid bad treatment advice, but I consider my story a public service announcement. That’s because Lyme disease, which already infects tens of thousands of Americans each year, could sicken even more people as our climate changes. An assessment of the lat-est science about the health impacts of climate change recently was released by 13 federal agencies and de-partments, and one of its key findings is that rising temperatures and changing seasonal patterns will likely allow Lyme-carrying ticks to march northward and to higher elevations. Also, cli-mate change likely will lead to higher tick survival during the winter and an earlier Lyme disease season. Dr. Rick Ostfeld, a disease ecol-

For two to three months now, the huge flagpole at the intersection of Lake and Station Roads in Whit-ing, the one across from Veterans Park, has been missing something: the huge American flag which once adorned it. It is my sincere hope that, with Memorial Day coming fast and Independence Day not far behind, our beautiful f lag will be f lying again there soon! I’ve been wait-ing patiently for its replace-ment, but it really shouldn’t wait much longer because these patriotic holidays demand a rapid resolution. And, such a huge flagpole so prominently displayed looks especially offensive without the flag, itself. Thank you for helping me bring this to the attention of “to whom it may concern.”Chet JelinskiWhiting

Mind The Flagpoles

Democrats voted for it, but it was the big banks who wanted it repealed, for they wanted the wall removed be-tween their commercial and very risky investment oper-ations, they wanted reduced capitol cash-on-deposit re-quirements and reduced reg-ulations, and the very notion that President Clinton forced this on them is laughable. No one ever forced a banker, any banker, to do anything they didn’t want to do and make a profit at it. Picture, if you will, a desk at a bank or mortgage loan company: on one side a couple with papers summing up all their financial history and hope, and across from them a loan officer with a multi-million or multi-billion dollar orga-nization behind him. Who do you think has the power to make a loan, good or bad? Too many loans were made on inflated figures of salaries, savings and employment, and is documented that loan officers perpetrated those frauds with the approval of their financial institutions. The banks share much of the responsibility. The writer states President Bush foresaw this problem but was stymied by a Demo-cratic Congress. Republicans controlled Congress from the 1994 elections until the 2006 elections, covering six of his eight years in office. And the writer may be the only one who credits President Bush with foresight; what specific action did he take or propose to head off the great recession, not just stop the bleeding from 2007 onward, when the crisis was upon the nation? If the writer wishes to warn us about short-sight-ed politicians, include the names Newt Gingrich, Den-nis Hastert, Trent Lott and Phil Gramm. If you want foresight, remember By-ron Dorgan, Democrat from North Dakota, who stood in the Senate in 1999 and ques-tioned whether we should be repealing a law which had protected the nation from violent financial disruptions. Vote wisely.Michael F. FlynnManahawkin

NEW JERSEY – Con-gressman Tom MacArthur unveiled a comprehensive addiction resources toolkit

MacArthur Offers Addiction Resources Toolkit For Families

to help the families in South Jersey address the issues associated with addiction. More Americans die every

day from drug overdoses than from car accidents – an average of 129 people per day, with six out of ten

deaths related to opioids. And the majority of those who need help with addic-tion issues are not receiving it. In 2014, only 11 percent of the approximately 22.7 mil-lion Americans who needed treatment for substance use received it, according to the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Congressman MacArthur is a member of the Biparti-san Task Force to Combat the Heroin Epidemic in the House and recently met with Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato, who has made combating the heroin epidemic one of his highest priorities. The Comprehensive Ad-diction Resources Toolkit was created by leading ex-

perts in the field of addiction and treatment in partnership with the Bipartisan Task Force to Combat the Heroin Epidemic in the House. “The heroin crisis is dev-astating our communities and we need to take action now,” said Congressman MacArthur. “Many of our families have been affected by the heroin epidemic and far too many don’t know where to turn for help. Start-ing today a resource guide will be available on my website and my district staff in Marlton and Toms River will help direct families or individuals to additional resources available to those facing addiction. I am ded-icated to working with the families and communities in

South Jersey to address the epidemic of opioid addiction that is impacting so many lives. By providing this com-prehensive guide to resourc-es, we hope families will find the support they need to deal with these issues.” Leading national and community organizations contributed to this compre-hensive set of resources. They include: the Addiction Policy Forum, Commu-nity Anti-Drug Coalition, the National Council, the National Association for Children of Alcoholics, Shatterproof, Faces and Voices of Recovery, Legal Action Center, National Institute of Drug Abuse and the Office of National Drug Control Policy.

BERKELEY – Berkeley Township has received a Clean Communities Grant f rom the State totaling $149,316. “I would like to once again thank the state for their commitment in funding this vital grant program,” Mayor Amato said. “The $149,316 Department of Environmental Protec-

Berkeley Receives Clean Communities Granttion Clean Communities Grant award is good news for Berkeley taxpayers and local non-profit, civic and community groups. The township will use a portion of this grant to offset sala-ries of employees that clean and maintain our parks and beaches along with the funding of mini-grants to local non-profit civic

and community groups that take advantage of our Adopt a Spo or Adopt a Road program.” Mayor Amato said. “Any non-profit civic or community group in the township that signs up to participate in our Adopt a Spot or Adopt a Road project can receive $500 for their organization.” Mayor

Amato said. “These clean-ups provide a valuable service in keep-ing our township clean. The funding also provides for equipment related to the clean-ups, education and enforcement of litter laws. We plan on using some of these groups to help tidy up our streets and areas along the maritime areas where

remnants of Super Storm Sandy remain.” Mayor Am-ato said. Any nonprofit organi-zations in Berkeley that wants to participate in the program should call Town-ship Clean Communities Coordinator, Mark Vanella at 732-341-1022. “It’s a Win-Win situation for our township. Nonprofit

community groups take advantage of the funding and the township benefits that we are able to get areas of our town cleaned up.” Mayor Amato concluded.

first since 1994. Its 8-3 record in 2014 was its best since 1994 when it went 9-2. It was its first winning season since 2002. The Golden Eagles went 14-7 over the past two seasons, including 6-4 last year when they qualified for the South Jersey Group IV playoffs. Leading Central was running back Mike Bickford, who rushed for 2,052 yards as a sophomore and more than 1,500 yards in 2015. “I am a firm believer that if you want to win at any level you have to be able to run the ball and stop your opponent on defense,” Fumando said. “Everything still comes down to block-ing and tackling. Fundamentals are going to be important.” Also vital are strength and conditioning. Impressed with the quality of Central’s fitness facility, Fumando wants his team pumping plenty of iron and doing lots of cardiovascular work. “We have a 5,000 square foot weight room, which is unheard of for a high school,” said Fumando, who was the head strength and conditioning coach for all of Kean Universi-ty’s athletics programs for three years. “It has everything needed to make a sports program successful – no matter what the sport is. There are lifting platforms and cardio equipment. There is space for plyometrics. My goal right now is to get the offseason process going. I want to get into the weight room. I want to get the players to know me and I want to get to know the players and the coaches. “I want to build the bond that forms when the players spend long hours in the weight room together. To me, it’s exciting to see those relationships form. For now, I want to win the offseason.” Fumando, 34, is a 2000 graduate of Middle-

town North where he competed in football, wrestling and track and field. He won two varsity letters, playing offensive guard and defensive tackle. He wrestled at 215 pounds and heavyweight and threw the javelin. He won one varsity letter in wrestling and two in track. A health and physical education teacher at Central, Fumando played noseguard, defen-sive tackle and defensive end at Kean. He coached its defensive line after graduating. Fumando was an assistant coach at Manala-pan for seven of the last eight football seasons. He was the Braves’ defensive coordinator for the last five years. They won the Central Jersey Group V title in 2014 at 11-1. He plans to bring the multiple 3-4 defensive look to Central. “I am a multiple 3-4 guy,” the Wall Town-ship resident said. “It allows us to do a lot of things.” Fumando said he is in the process of forming a coaching staff. “When you are a head coach, you are only as good as the people you surround yourself with,” he said. “The first order of business is gathering together a great staff and putting together a team of coaches who will buy into the same philosophy. We want to be a team that works for everything we get. Our hard work will get us what we deserve.” Fumando said he is thankful for the oppor-tunity to coach the Golden Eagles. “I appreciate the opportunity the board and the administration have given me,” he said. “The interview process was well thought out. I am no surprised I got the job. When you go into an interview, you prepare yourself to be the guy to get the job. I prepared myself to be the next head coach at Central. “I am dedicated, loyal and a hard worker. I look for the same things from my players and coaches.”

be filled. There are a lot of people talking about it all around the town. We have not played Lacey in the last four years and a lot of people want to watch this game. We are bringing the rivalry back to the town. It is unfinished business.” “We’re hoping the stands on both sides of the field are packed,” said Lacey’s Bill Exner, a 2004 graduate who played wide receiver and defensive back. “We want a standing room only crowd with the fans wrapped around the fence -- the way it used to be when the full towns showed up for the game. The rivalry was great when we were in high school. When you grew up, you always grew up hating Central. They were our biggest rivals no matter what sport you played. No matter what the sport is, you always wanted to beat your rival.” Admission for fans is $10. Exner said the Lions will raise money for the Lacey Football Foundation and for the youth football programs in the town. Pepe said the Golden Eagles will raise funds to expand the school’s trophy cases. “Money will also go to the football team for new uniforms and for other equipment it needs,” Pepe said. The former Golden Eagles player said two team members are Tuckerton Police Chief Mike Caputo and Rick Pullen. The latter teaches police under water rescue teams how to dive. “Both are around 61 years old,” Pepe said. “They are our oldest players. They played in the 1970s. Mike will play line-backer. Rick will play either defensive end or defensive tackle. They look good. They are in good shape. They are tough.” Pepe said Central has practiced as often as twice a week since late March. “We’re looking good,” he said. “We have about 25 to 30 guys on the team. We look good in all of the areas of the game. Our offense has come together pretty well. Everyone is clicking and our defense is looking solid. I think it is going to be a close, hard fought game, but we are going to come out on top. We are going to put up points and our defense will stop their points from happening.” Players will be in full uniform. The event is being organized by otfootball.com, which will provide the equipment, field insurance and referees. The cost to play in the game is $100 per player. Exner said about 30 players reported to a recent practice session. He said the oldest player at the session was James Tweed, a 1988 graduate. “Our offensive line is pretty big,” Exner said. “We will probably do a lot of old school Lacey ground and pound stuff, but we’ve also been throwing the ball pretty

well. We have looked good in seven on seven situations. We will mix in some of the old school stuff like the Delaware Wing T and the newer stuff like the shot-gun and spread formations.” Thompson Healthcare & Sports Medi-cine, which has offices in Lacey and Toms River, will provide the medical staff. “You may feel young mentally,” Exner said, “but your body won’t feel like it. Chop blocks are not allowed. Blocking below the waist is not allowed. The game will consist of four quarters. Each quarter will most likely be 10 minutes long, but they may be a few minutes longer depend-ing on how many players from each team sign up for the game.” In other rules, according to otfootball.com, fights, trash talking and taunting will not be tolerated. Offenders will be ejected and there will be no refunds. There will be no defensive rushing of the A gap/snapper on field goals and punts. There will be no offensive A gap fakes on field goals and punts. Only four rushers are permitted per play. If a player’s hand is not on the ground and he rushes the quarterback, the offender’s team is penalized 15 yards and the offense is awarded an automatic first down. Once the quarterback hands the ball off, all defensive players can cross the line of scrimmage. Once the quarterback leaves the pocket, all defensive players may cross the line of scrimmage. Inside the 5-yard line, up to seven de-fensive rushers are allowed to cross the line of scrimmage at the snap of the ball. Celebrations of big plays and touchdowns are allowed, but they are not to be directed at the other team. Crack back blocks are allowed when using two hands to ad-minister the block and not the shoulder/helmet. The penalty is 15 yards. “Everybody is pretty much in shape,” Pepe said. “A couple of our guys still play in a semipro league. Some just got out of college where they played. The older guys have kept in shape through the years. Some of our players have played flag football.” Exner said he noticed news on social media of another alumni game. Hence the birth of the renewal of the rivalry. “I posted something on Facebook about having a game,” he said, “and what I shared got passed around real quick. I began a Facebook page for the game. It kind of just blew up from there. We had to find someone from Central to take over their team. It seemed like a lot of guys from Central wanted to play.” The postgame party for Central will take place at The Cove Waterfront Bar & Grill. The venue for the postgame party for Lacey will be at Latitudes on the River. “It is going to be fun,” Pepe said. “We hope to make it an annual event.”

What Does Hearing Loss Look Like Across the Age Spectrum?

More than 36 million American adults report that they have hearing loss. Al-though many people assume hearing loss only affects those around retirement age, about two-thirds of all cases of hearing loss occur in people under the age of 65. So how can hearing aids benefit the entire age spectrum, children, teens, the American workforce, and retirees? Let’s take a look at some rather revealing data regarding hearing loss and hearing aids. In children and teens: At least 1.8 million U.S. children have trouble hearing. Nearly 1.5 million are school age. Nine of every 10 children born deaf are born to parents who can hear normally. In-utero ear infections can lead to deafness. Three continuous months of ear infec-tions can lead to deafness. Children exposed to secondhand smoke have twice the risk of hearing loss. One in five teens now suffers from at least a mild hearing loss due to excessive volume when using iPods and other lis-tening devices. In the American workforce: About 26 million Americans between the prime employment ages of 20 and 69 have high-frequency hearing loss. One in four workers exposed to high levels of noise experience hearing loss later in life. Those with untreated hearing loss lose about $30,000 a year due to underem-ployment. Police, firefighters, factory workers, farmers, construction workers, musicians,

heavy-industry workers, the military and professional hunters are at the highest risk of experiencing hearing loss. In retirees: About 30 percent of adults ages 65 to 74 have hearing loss. About 47 percent of adults over the age of 75 have hearing loss. Hearing loss in retirees leads to more hospitalization and poorer health overall. Dementia, depression and brain shrink-age are all strongly correlated to untreated hearing loss, which is likely partially responsible for those diseases occurring. Diabetes and cardiovascular disease are also associated with untreated hearing loss. Fortunately, hearing aids are a huge benefit to 90 percent of those with hearing loss, regardless of age group or severity. For those with mild hearing loss, hearing aids greatly reduce or eliminate the risk of income loss, and people with hearing aids are nearly twice as likely to be employed as those with untreated hearing loss or those who simply don’t wear their hear-ing aids. If you want to make sure you’re getting all you can out of your current set, bring them in and we’ll take a look at how the technology is working for you. And if you decide there’s an upgrade option that you’d like to pursue, we’ll give you $500 toward any new set of AGX Hearing aids. Please call our office today at 732-818-3610 if you are suffering from hearing loss. Dr. Izzy is always available to answer your serious questions about most hearing care issues. He has offices in Toms River, Manahawkin and Whiting.

Approximately 15,000 people die from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms in the United States each year. Many patients are not aware of the presence of an AAA. It is more prevalent in patients with history of smoking and family histories of abdominal aortic aneurysms

and hypertension. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms usually do not produce any symptoms until the aneurysm is ready to rupture. It is therefore important that persons over the age of 65, with family history

of AAA and/or history of smoking, should be screened to detect the presence of an aneurysm.If the aneurysm is found and happens to be less than 5 centimeters, the patient should be followed periodically as an outpatient with ultrasound to check for any significant increase in the size of the

aneurysm. If the aneurysm turns out to be greater than 5 centimeters, the patient should consider repair of the aneurysm and discuss treatment options with a Vascular surgeon.

Please call the office at 732-244-4448 to schedule your free screening.

How to Calm Down Quickly

It’s natural to get stressed out, or go into a state of mild shock if you hear bad news. Maybe you get sweaty palms a lot, or slip into panic attacks frequently (and over nothing serious). If you’re prone to anxiety, today’s article is intended to offer you help before you take pre-scriptions. Millions of prescriptions are written annually for anxiolytic drugs like alpra-zolam (Xanax), clonazepam (Klonopin) and lorazepam (Ativan). These drugs are all in the category of benzodiazepines, and they have severe withdrawal symp-toms. I bet some of you suffer on a daily basis because you don’t want to get on a benzodiazepine. Now I’m going to offer you five ways to calm down quickly: Breathe – You might think this is silly to lis,t but it’s number one on my list. When you are anxious, your breathing becomes shallow. Be conscious about breathing and make sure you inhale longer than you exhale during times of stress. The inhalation is a gift to your-self, hold it a second or two, then exhale. Do it five times, preferably with your eyes closed since that instantly puts you into an alpha brain wave state. Lavender – They make pure lavender roll-ons, and if you can’t find that just keep a tiny bottle of the essential oil nearby, or in your purse. Take a whiff and put some on your wrists and temples for immediate action. You can use this to sleep too. And you can find commercial preparations of lavender tea as well. Rescue Remedy – Rescue Remedy is

a combination of five flower extracts including Star of Bethlehem, which is known to help with trauma and shock. You can carry the tiny bottle in your purse and put drops in your mouth (or in your water bottle) all day long if you want. California Poppy Extract – It’s a great herbal anxiolytic, and sometimes also used for kids with Attention Deficit, or bedwetting problems. You can buy it in dropper form at any health food store and online. One of the active compounds is Eschscholzia californica, which has been shown to promote higher catechol-amines in the brain, thus a happier mood over time. Some can make you sleepy. Magnesium – This is a natural mineral abundant in leafy greens and edible seaweeds. Numerous studies show a correlation to low magnesium and depression and/or anxiety. It works pretty quickly, especially the magne-sium “threonate” form which has been clinically shown to penetrate brain tissue quickly. A double-blind place-bo-controlled study tested women with PMS-induced anxiety, mood swings and nervous tension. The researchers combined 200 mg of magnesium with 50mg of vitamin B6 and gave it to the women for one month. It helped some of the women, but not all. I have a few other options, however I am out of space here. Sign up for my news-letter at my site (suzycohen.com) and I will email a longer version of this. Please make sure your physician approves of any supplements you want to try.

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

She Don’t Want To Pay For ItDear Joel, My wife has an awful habit which really irks me. When we go out to casual (and sometimes expensive) restaurants, she puts everything that she can into her pocketbook. Our kitchen cabinets have more packets of sugar and sugar substi-tutes than a supermarket shelf. No matter how much I tell her not to, she keeps on doing it.Answer: Although it doesn’t sound that way, your wife may be a kleptomaniac. I am not a mental health expert, and even if I was I couldn’t offer a diagnosis from your short letter. Although this isn’t a guarantee, I believe that you have more control over this story than you think. You can tell her that if she continues this behavior you will not go out to eat with

her. If you see her put these items into her p o cke tbook simply walk away and don’t pay for her meal. You can set the record straight by not going into a restaurant with her. My guess is if you hold out she will start listening. There is something psy-chological about her behavior, but once again you are only giving me a glimpse in your letter. By continuing to join her at meals outside, I see you as enabling the behavior. You may have to dine alone if it really bothers you until she stops. Hopefully she will change when you do.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.Inside The Law

Robert C. Shea Esq. Christopher R. Shea Esq.

Any homeowner looking to build or modify a home should note that a new trend in New Jersey law now holds property owners liable for workplace injuries where the injury occurred on site, and the property owner assumed responsibilit ies normally reserved for a general contractor. This trend was solidif ied by the New Jersey Appellate Division case of Costa v. Gaccione, 408 N.J. Super. 362 (App. Div. 2009) where the Appellate Court held that since there was evidence to demonstrate a property owner on a construction project where Plaintiff was injured acted as the de facto general contractor, a genuine issues of material fact existed to warrant a trial on the property owner’s liability for the Plaintiff’s injuries. In Costa, an employee of a framing subcontractor fell and sustained seri-ous injury when climbing makeshift scaffolding used on the construction project. The employee claimed that the property owner, Salvatore Gacci-one (“Gaccione”), acted as the project general contractor, and that Gaccione’s failure to ensure worksite safety con-stituted negligence and a violation of OSHA. Regarding Gaccione’s role as the general contractor, the employee demonstrated that Gaccione obtained building permits as the project owner, but indicated on the permit form that he considered himself the “person responsible for the work.” In addi-tion, Gaccione performed many of the general contractor functions on

the project, such as hiring an architect and various subcontractors, scheduling subcontractors’ work and purchasing building materials. Gaccione also fre-quented the jobsite, oversaw the work and performed some managerial tasks. Nevertheless, the trial court grant-ed Gaccione’s motion for summary judgment dismissing all claims against him. The trial court held that Gacci-one did not have a duty to ascertain whether the scaffolding posed a risk of injury and, instead, was entitled to rely on the subcontractor to oversee its employee’s work. The employee then appealed to the Ap-pellate Division. On appeal, the Appel-late Division reversed the trial court’s holding, and found the facts of the case established that the homeowner had acted as the de facto contractor. Signifi-cantly, the homeowner visited the site daily, oversaw operations, purchased materials requested by builders and actively discussed building plans with workers that he hired. The Appellate Division concluded that this evidence was sufficient to create genuine issues of material facts and ordered a trial to determine the issue of damages. The important lesson to be learned from the Costa case for perspective homebuilders is that taking on the responsibilit ies normally assumed of a general contractor, even in the absence of the official designation of such, may give rise to a duty of care to ensure worksite safety and expose you to liability.

BEACHWOOD – Enjoy a guided nature walk through Jakes Branch Park to welcome the early signs of summer. Give back to nature along the way by cleaning up the trails. After-wards, light refreshments will be served. Bags

OCEAN COUNTY – Local officials are warning the abundance of rain could lead to standing water, and the potential for mos-quitos. “It’s taken awhile, but thank goodness the sun finally came out. With the amount of rain we had the past few weeks, even with the sun shining, it is going to take quite a while to dry up all of the water left behind,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “Now is the time to get outside, look around and get rid of any standing water,” Little added. Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health (OCHD) public health coordinator, said, “With concerns of Zika, we have the opportunity right now to be proactive and do something to protect ourselves and our property against mosquitoes. We are still steps ahead of Zika, which we really don’t know if it will or will not affect us. Public Health always hopes for the best, but will take as many steps as possible to prepare for the worst, such as if Zika could be transmitted here in New Jersey. Now is the time to clean up water from your property.

Make sure you clear water out of your gutters and check all of your outside furniture for pockets of water. Check all of your screens for any holes and look to see if there are any gaps where your door closes that could allow mosquitoes to come inside the house.” Regenye added, “The Health Department is in constant touch with the New Jersey Depart-ment of Health and continues to participate in conference calls with the State and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Our web-site at ochd.org is linked directly with the CDC for updates on Zika and there is also updated information on how to protect yourself and your property from mosquitoes and updated information on mosquito repellents, which are certainly recommended for people being outside. We also need to remember that there are other mosquito-borne illnesses that are still in our environment, such as West Nile Virus. We cannot stress enough to protect yourselves and your property from mosquitoes.” Continue to visit the Ocean County Health Department’s website at ochd.org or follow the Health Department on Twitter@OCpub-lichealth.

Business Profile

What comes to mind when you think of “up-holstery”? Most people assume it entails nothing more than throwing fabric over a couch. These peo-ple have obviously been misinformed! Tom White, owner and operator of Superior Upholstery in Toms River, is the very definition of a craftsman, delivering works of art to his loyal customers every day. Tom always had a passion for c r e a t i n g b e a u t i f u l things out o f l imi ted r e s o u r c e s . At a very young age, he found himself to possess a natural eye for balance and symme-try, two key aspects to the trade. At the age of 14, these attributes were recognized by Master Craftsman John Jaco-pec, who was a very dear friend. John took Tom under his wing and introduced him to the trade. Playing on his strengths and his desire

SUPERIOR UPHOLSTERYBringing unique creations to life every day!

to learn everything there is to know, John ap-prenticed him and over time, Tom discovered that he had found not only a livelihood, but a passion… a calling to create what has not yet been created. So how does an uphol-stery craftsman apply these gifts to the real world, to real customers, to you? He takes the

physical item in front of you (be it a chair, a couch, whatever) and fuses it with the unique image in your mind of what you want it to be-come. He takes into con-sideration functionality and needs when choos-ing fabrics, opting for the ones that will work best for your purpose, taste and lifestyle. From con-

temporary to antique, Superior Upholstery can revitalize any piece that you feel is in need of improvement and make it a prominent display of art in your home. Even if you have something that looks great now, take it to Tom and he will provide you with a new perspective the moment you arrive at his store. With these gifts, Tom is able to show his cus-

tomers that any room of your

home can be bright-ened with t h e r i g h t

furniture up-grades. He will

show you that uphol-stery is more than just “ fabric covering:” it ’s about design, quality and capturing your vision into a masterpiece. Even better, if you just have an idea of what you want but no piece of furniture to start with, Tom and his team will work with you to build that special piece and make your dreams come true.

When the task seems impossible, I don’t give up

until it is perfect! - Tom White, owner

When you walk into Superior Upholstery, you are not walking into a big-box furniture store that cannot bend from the status-quo. Tom’s skill of applying superior mate-rials and unprecedented craftsmanship will add value to your furniture rather than the typical depreciation that buyers experience with previous purchases. It’s not about the purchase price with Superior Upholstery: it’s about excellence and meeting the customer’s needs. All projects are unique, meaning no one will ever walk into your home and say, “Oh, I’ve seen that before.” Tom never creates the same object twice, giving comfort to the customer that they are treated as unique and with top prior-ity when these services are performed. Countless services are offered at Superior Up-holstery that you may not expect. In addition to custom furniture and covering, solutions for many other parts of your

home are options as well. Superior is your one-stop answer for all slipcov-ers, window treatments, drapes, valences, blinds and shutters. Free con-sultation and design help are always provided and they do all the measuring and installing. Pick-up and delivery options are available for any customer in need of this help. In fact, Tom’s customer base spans not only those who are local, but customers as far away as New York (that includes pick-up and delivery)! That just shows the loyalty that customers have to Tom and his business once they’ve come and seen what showpieces he can create! If you are unsure about the solution need-ed to illuminate a room in your home, come in and see Tom for a free consultation and he will provide knowledge and guidance on what solu-tions are best for you. At Superior Upholstery, you will find a family-ori-ented environment, root-ed in the strong values and convic t ions that John Jacopec himself

held in the highest re-gard. The staff of five, including Toms’ neph-ew, Michael, work as a true team to provide the highest quality with the friendliest service. All striving toward the same goal of finding functional beauty in unexpected places, each employee harnesses their own individual strengths to complement each other and f low seamlessly through each project. It is that combination of talent, experience and proficiency that makes Superior Upholstery the best option for home fur-nishing upgrades and re-pairs in Ocean County! Come here first before even thinking about your common furniture or de-partment store and you will not be disappointed! Superior Upholstery is located at 1594 Route 9, Suite 7 in the Victo-ria Plaza in Toms Riv-er. Their phone num-ber is 732-929-0044 or you can email them at [email protected]. The business hours are Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Satur-day from 8 a.m. to noon.BEFORE AFTER

Wolfgang Puck’s kitchen

By Wolfgang Puck With Memorial Day, summer’s un-official start and real summer arriving a few weeks later, shaping up for the coming season’s outdoor activities is on a lot of people’s minds. So you probably wouldn’t be surprised by how often I get requests in my restaurants for “something light.” Of course, there are so many ways our regular menus oblige our guests, with items ranging from fresh vegetable salads (dressing on the side, of course) to grilled fish or skinless chicken to all kinds of desserts featuring wonderful fresh fruit. The bigger challenge for many people, however, concerns not what they eat for lunch or dinner but how they start the day. And, especially at this time of year when morning appetites become lighter as the weather grows warmer, the talk lately seems to be turning to so-called “green drinks.” Green drinks generally feature not only fruits like apples, but also vege-tables such as cucumber, celery and, especially, dark-green bitter leaves like kale or spinach (sources of much-prized nutrients like B vitamins and vitamin C). The first secret to creating a morning drink that delivers the benefits of those green ingredients without causing a grimace at the first sip is to combine the leaves in the right proportions with the other healthful vegetables and fruits. I make sure to include enough apple for sweetness (along with a touch of honey sometimes), and even an orange; mild cucumber and celery also go a long way toward creating a more gentle, well-rounded flavor profile. I like to spice things up with some fresh ginger root and even, sometimes, a pinch of cayenne. My other key to success is to use the right equipment. The first recipe, my own version of a green smoothie, depends on a professional-quality high-speed blender, which will help you achieve a perfectly smooth consistency quickly. Or, if you prefer what is some-times referred to as a green juice “power shot” like those I often serve to guests at big Hollywood parties, you can achieve that powerful essence with the help of a good juice extractor. Both appliances are widely available these days at sur-prisingly affordable prices. So, as the season of sunshine approach-es, try one of these fresh new starts to your day. Here’s to your good health!

WOLFGANG PUCK’S GREEN SMOOTHIE

Serves 2 1/2 medium English cucumber, peel left on, cut into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces1 navel orange, peeled and separated into sections1 green-skinned apple such as Granny Smith, peel left on, cored and cut into wedges3-inch (7.5-cm) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and cut into 3 pieces1 cup (250 mL) almond milk, chilled1 teaspoon honey 4 large leaves green kale, tough ribs removed, leaves very coarsely chopped1 pinch cayenne pepper 2 sprigs fresh mint, leaves separated, stems discarded In the container of a professional-qual-ity high-speed blender, combine the cucumber pieces, orange sections, apple wedges, ginger pieces, almond milk and honey. Add the kale leaves, cayenne and mint leaves. Securely place the lid on the blender. Fol-lowing the manufacturer’s instructions, blend the ingredients until smooth, stop-ping once or twice if necessary to scrape down the sides of the blender container. Pour the smoothie into two tall chilled glasses. Serve immediately.

WOLFGANG’S GREEN JUICE POWER SHOTS

Serves 3 6 large leaves green kale, tough ribs removed, leaves very coarsely chopped4 large stalks celery, leaves trimmed, stalks cut into several pieces each2 green-skinned apples such as Granny Smith, peel left on, cored and cut into wedges1 medium English cucumber, trimmed and cut into large chunks1 cup packed baby spinach leaves2-inch (5-cm) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into 2 pieces Just before serving, prepare all the ingredients as directed. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, pass all of the ingredients a few pieces at a time through a juice extractor into the extrac-tor’s container or a nonreactive pitcher. With a long spoon, stir the juice mixture well. Serve immediately, pouring the juice into chilled 2-ounce (60-mL) shot glasses.

Shape Up! Start The Morning Right With A Healthy, Delicious ‘Green Drink’

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Enthusi-asm and the ability to stand up for yourself are your best attributes. Even so, you might offend if you forget to say “please” and “thank you.” Focus on being more consid-erate in the week ahead.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Teach others what you know and learn something from others in the process. In the week ahead you can easily join forces and make progress by sharing knowledge, ideas, and expertise.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Think before you act. You may be challenged to exert your authority in the early part of the week. Ask for advice from family members or wiser souls before you deliver ultimatums.CANCER (June 21-July 22): You value dependability and reliability above all things. Someone close may prove his or her true worth this week. Pursue important goals but remember to be appreciative of loyal partners.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Jumping into action is fine as long as you don’t jump in over your head. You may be challenged to perform physical activities but must remember to measure twice and cut once in the week ahead.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know more than you think you do. Your good judgment and sound assessment of circum-stances will help you make wise decisions in the week to come. You can see the writing on the wall.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Follow the lead of a model of industry. Discussions with intimate companions can become heated if you assert yourself. A “go-getter” can achieve positive results in the second half of the week.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Nail down networking skills. You may open up some new avenues to travel upon and do business in the week to come. Opinions voiced in the outer world may persuade you to take important steps.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your boundless enthusiasm can breathe life into humdrum routines but don’t get carried away. Wait until at least mid-week to start new projects or spend large amounts of money.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are truly quick on the uptake this week, easily absorbing information and making astute observations. File these away for future reference. Maintain perfect manners when dealing with the public.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may change your mind later, so don’t be too eager to jump on the bandwagon. Powerful and ambitious ideas could develop during the week ahead. Sit on your hands until the time is ripe for success.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Follow your first instinct after checking in with your closest friend. You’ll make the right choice when faced with tough decisions in the week ahead if you follow the lead of wiser souls.
