D.C., held from January 22 to 24 where he brie y met President Obama and Vice Presi-dent Biden. I had a 20-minute one-on-one conversationwith Secretary of HUD Shaun Donovan, whois also chairman of the Sandy Taskforce cre-ated by President Obama, he said. Ducey said that he brought up the issuethat as a result of Superstorm Sandy, Brickhas lost $545 million in ratables. We werediscussing with the mayor of Tuscaloosa,

Brick is important to us because it is oneof the most populated areas with boats; wewant to keep the water as pristine as pos-sible, and this (pumpout boat) was the mostneeded there, he said. Vicari said that there are some 30,000recreational boats that use Barnegat Bay. The contract for the new boat was awardedto Marine Boat Builders of Warwick,Rhode Island, and is an updated version of

Alabama about (how) when tornadoes hitthere, the lowest-income part of his city washit, and in reality it actually helped revivehis downtown area, Ducey said. When thedowntown area was rebuilt they created amini Bourbon Street that included a lotof ratables. In Brick, we have the exact opposite: wehad our most valuable properties damagedordestroyed, losing $545 million, which isa large piece for us, said the mayor. He told Donovan what the effect would be onthe half of Brick Township that did not haveas many losses. The taxes are the taxes and

whos going to make that up? Is there any typeof federal program or state grant or any grantthats going to help our town out? Duceyasked Donovan. The HUD secretary said he would look intoit and promised to call Ducey by the weeksend. While in Washington, D.C., Ducey learnedthat another $1.4 billion in Sandy relief would

be coming from the federal government inMarch. So hopefully, with myself bringingthat information down there, they are takinga look at that so they can help us all out herein town, Ducey said.

He also brought up the issue of the loomood insurance rate increases. A lot of peop

are not rebuilding their houses; they dwant insurance rates that they cant affoand added that the Senate had just agreedelay those increases. Ducey said that he also talked to Donoabout second-homeowners who are not el

ble for any federal or state relief. In our tosecond homes are some of the most expen

properties; if they dont rebuild, there is aeffect on the tax rate, he said. The next council meeting will be on TuesFebruary 18 at 7 p.m.

the vessels currently being used. Its state-of-the-art and a little bit betterand more ef cient, said Vicari. Bricks current pumpout boat, Bay Saver,is being stored in dry-dock at the Depart-ment of Public Works. According to Glen Campbell, directorof Public Works for Brick, the town-ship receives a $25,000 grant from thecounty each year to operate the boat; some$22,000 of that was spent last year, which

pays for the boat captain, maintenance andfuel. Bay Saver serviced 1,282 boats and

removed 34,375 gallons of waste in 2013,Campbell said, and 14,813 boats have beenserviced and 333,075 gallons of waste weresafely removed from holding tan ks of boatsto date since Brick got the pumpout boatin 2003. The pumpout program operates MemorialDay weekend through October of each year,and has steadily expanded its operations,Vicari said. The boats supplement a largenumber of land-based units now in serv icein Ocean County waters. They have beenhighly successful in addressing the needs

of non-marina-based boats, such as thmoored in open waters or in lagoon deopments. Willie deCamp, who is the chairman

past director of the non-pro t organizatiSave Barnegat Bay, said that pumpout boare important for the health of BarnBay. Thats an area where we really cansomething; the bay has so many intracta

problems. What the bay really needs isrampant overdevelopment of Ocean Couto be rolled back, but a new pumpout bis progress; lets do it, he said.

OCEAN COUNTY While the winters unusu-ally cold temperatures haveleft many Ocean Countywaterways covered in ice,of cials warn that much ofthat ice may not be as thickand safe as it appears. Were asking everyoneto be extremely cautiousand avoid venturing outonto the ice, said Free-holder Director Joseph H.Vicari. Vicari said previ-ous experience has shownthat many times, the ice onlagoons, rivers, lakes and

Think Twice Before Walking On Thin Icethe bay can remain thin,

even after an extendedcold spell. If you temptfate and walk out ontothe ice, you are not only

put ti ng you rs elf in dan-ger, but also endangeringthe emergency responderswho come to your aid,Vicari said. Freeholder John P. Kelly,Director of Law and Publicsafety, said the fast-mov-ing currents in the bayand rivers often keep theice thin. The ice may beespecially appealing toyounger children, whomay not have experiencedsuch a cold winter before. It may look inviting, butunder that thin sheet of iceis deadly frigid water thatcan kill in mi nutes, Kellysaid. Its simply not worththe risk. Ice-skating and

ice shing is not permitted

in any of the 27 parks oper-ated by the Ocean CountyDepartment of Parks andRecreation. Forecasters are predictinga warming trend over thenext couple of days withtemperatures rising intothe mid 40s, meaning theice will become even moreof a hazard. Warmer weather meansmore people will be out-side, Vicari said. It alsomeans the ice will be melt-ing and weakening. Ac-cording to safety experts,new clear ice needs to

be at le as t fo ur in ch esthick to support a personsweight. Older ice that has meltedand refrozen may not sup-

tunately, theres no way

to tell how strong the iceis just by looking at it,said Sheriff Michael G.

Mastronardy. Dont take

the chance, stay off theice. If you are on icethat begins to weaken and

crack, immediately lie

and attempt to roll a back in the d irec tion which you came.

There are two main types of laser vision-correction surgery that reshape thecornea and correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. TraditionalLASIK involves cutting a ap on the corneas surface and utilizing a laser to reshape theunderlying cornea. There is also photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), which involvesscraping micro-thin layers of tissue from the corneas outer layer instead of making a

ap. Newer techniques now make it possible to produce better results than ever before,with nine in ten LASIK patients achieving between 20/20 and 20/40 vision. However,prospective patients should understand that laser surgery does not prevent or correctpresbyopia, age-related loss of focusing power that necessitates reading glasses. Infact, laser surgery may hasten presbyopia in some nearsighted individuals.

The eye is a fragile organ, and requires extreme care before, during, and after asurgical procedure. You can trust the professionals at SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYEASSOCIATES, P.A. to help you with any eye problems you may have. We will explain allyour options and make the proper recommendations. We are a state-of-the-art facilitydedicated to providing the highest quality eye care. Our goal is to improve the visionand quality of life for the patients we are privileged to serve. Please call 732-349-5622 toschedule an appointment.

P.S. LASIK and PRK are about equally effective, so that choosing one over the other depends mostly onthe thickness of the cornea, which must be beyond a certain threshold to qualify for LASIK.

NEW JERSEY - Atlantic Medical Imaging(AMI) in Manasquan will offer free Coronary

CTA exams during the month of February inconjunction with American Heart Month. Theexam will be provided at no cost for patientswith no insurance, or for those whose insurancedoes not cover the exam. The free screeningsare made possible through the generous sup-

port of the AMI Foundation.The exam is available for patients who have

one or more of the following risk factorsrelated to heart disease: chest pain, diabetes,high cholesterol, and shortness of breath, high

blood pressure, signi cant smoking history andsigni cant family history of heart disease. Coronary artery disease is the leading causeof death in the U.S. While the signs and symp-toms of coronary artery disease are seen in theadvanced stage of disease, most individualswith coronary artery disease show no evidence

of disease before the rst onset of symptoms,often a sudden heart attack.Coronary CTA is the most technologically

advanced non-invasive CT scan available inthe world today for detecting coronary artery

disease. It is a painless procedure, requiringno sedation. It can detect the earliest signs ofheart disease that might otherwise be invisibleon EKGs, stress testing, heart scan (calciumscoring) and even cardiac catheterization.

AMI has been performing Coronary CTAsince 2001 and to date has performed morethan 10,000 such procedures, one of the larg-est case experiences of any practice in theworld.Patients who wish to take advantage of the no

cost Coronary CTA must obtain a prescriptionfrom their physician. Prior to the exam, each

patient will be assessed by one of the AMInurses to determine if a beta blocker will beneeded. The assessments will be availablein the AMI of ces in Manasquan and Brick,Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

To schedule an appointment, or more informa-tion, call 732-223-XRAY (9729), or visit www.aminorth.com/coronarycta.

Fire Safety For Those With Hearing Loss There are 11 million deaf or hard of hearingAmericans who cannot rely on traditionalsound-oriented smoke detectors and there-fore are at a disadvantage. Decreased hear-ing can limit a persons ability to take quickaction and escape during a re emergency.Those with hearing loss need to take extra

precautions to protect themselves from thehazards of home re. This includes beingaware of the availability of ashing and/orvibrating smoke alarms and having an ef-fective escape plan in place. Have the proper alerting system: Smoke

detectors are not doing their job if youcan not hear them. Consider the followingstatistics: 20 percent of home res occur

between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., yet these resaccount for more than half of all home redeaths. Something to keep in mind: mostsmoke detectors produce a relatively highfrequency (3000 kHz) sound. Recent studieshave revealed that this frequency is not par-ticularly effective in waking u p children,heavy sleepers, those taking sleeping pillsor other medication and those who havehad too much to drink. In addition, highfrequency alarms are almost completelyineffective in alerting people with high fre-quency hearing loss, accounting for about90 percent of people with hearing loss andall deaf people. Install a ashing or vibrat-

ing smoke alarm on every level of yourhome. Test all smoke alarms monthly and

change the batteries at least once a year. People with hearing loss are at greater rifrom night time res because their hearininstruments are typically out of their eawhen sleeping. Not all alerting devicmeet every need but some do come closThe ideal device would not only sound aalarm but also ash a light and vibrate th

bed. This would alert the three most im portant senses simult aneously. There aregreat number of smoke detectors designespeci cally for those with a hearing impairment. Light-tone HL bedside re alarm

and clock alerts you by sounding a loulow frequency and vibrating the bed. Thcombination of the low frequency alarsounding and the bed shaking wakes eveheavy sleepers. Silent call makes grealerting systems that work with more tha

just smoke detectors . Plan you escape: An important tip is nto isolate yourself. Inform family memberthe building manager or a neighbor of yo

re safety plan and practice it with themContact you local fire department onnon-emergency phone number and explayour special needs. They can help with yoescape plan, perform a home inspectioand offer suggestions about smoke alar

placement. They can also keep your infomation on le.

Cold And Flu SeasonIsnt Over: Protect YourselfQUESTION: Everyone in my family

gets sick. What can I do to help myself?--K.B., San Antonio, Texas ANSWER: Knowing if you have theflu versus the common cold is helpful.The flu comes on fast and f urious, pre-senting itself with a high fever (oftenabove 101 degrees), chills, joint pain,

body ach es and she er mise ry hea d totoe. The influenza virus causes the flu,whereas the common cold can be caused

by any one of 200 vi ru ses. Sympt omsof the common cold are above the neckand much wetter than t he flu, so theresmore mucus, as in runny nose, conges-tion, watery eyes and sneezing. Do you realize that your nose andthroat are the two main entry pointsfor 90 percent of ge rms? You can eitherflush them out with a neti pot, or youcan try a product that coats the path-ways into the bo dy. With a new producton the market shown in lab tests to keepthe bugs from dividing, you can literallyspray cold and flu germs in your noseand throa t. Its called FluNad a, and itsa new, over-the-counter nat ural remedythat contains a homeopathic blend ofmint, wintergreen, eucalyptus and el-derberry. Spray it in your mouth, andnasal passages, right where the bugs tryto enter your body. FluNada (sold na-tionwide) was tested by 2 independentlabs and found to be 99.9% effectiveagainst multiple cold and flu strains,including Swine, Bird and Seasonal.I believe in this product so much I be-came their pharmacy consultant! You th ink abou t the f lu dur ing

the winter,however, Idlike you tothink aboutit year round so that you can make

bigger healt h investments eve ry day ofthe year. For example, a health invest-ment would include juicing each day,exercising, eliminating refined foodsand sweets and sleeping more. These

put de pos its i nto your i mmu ne syste mso that you can withdraw the benefit ofnatural killer cells that fight pathogens

for you! Stress contributes to colds and flu by wea ken ing you r im mune sys tem. Iknow I k now, youre obligated to certainevents, parties, business meetings a ndtravel, but maybe you can say no to somethings, especially if youre weak andyour health is at stake. The f lu causesapproximately 200,000 hospitalizationsannually in the United States, and about36,000 deaths from complications suchas pneumonia. Since Im in your brainright now, I hear you asking me aboutthe flu shot, and if it works. You canget the flu shot if you choose to, thatis between you and your practitioner.Most think its a first line of defense.Why not add other layer s of defense byconsidering probiotics, the fundamen-tal immune supplement as far as Imconcerned. Aged garlic, CoQ10, andVitamin D and maitake mushroom are

pop ular a nt iox idant s know n to suppo rtimmunity. Finally, if you can ditch thesoda and drink more green tea or tulsitea you will catapult your body into amuch higher state of health.

Applying For SocialSecurity Disability Beneits

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Stacie A. Brustman, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

When a person becomes totally disabled,he or she may be eligible for Social Se-curity Disability Benefits, should thisdisability occur prior to eligibility forSocial Security Retirement Benefits.One should keep in mind when workingwith Social Security, you can choose arepresentative to actually work for you.The Social Security Administration withwork with your representative, such as anattorney, providing the appropriate formis executed and submitted. Should you become totally disabled, youshould apply for Social Security DisabilityBene ts immediately. Those bene ts will

not begin until the sixth full month of yourdisability. It should be further noted thatthere is a one month waiting period for

bene ts. This waiting period begins withthe rst full month that Social Securitydetermines you to be totally disabled. Applications can be made by telephone,or via the Internet. If an application ismade over the phone, an appointment forsame should be made with a representa-tive of Social Security in advance. When applying for bene ts, one shouldkeep in mind that it does take longer to

process disability claims than to processgeneral retirement claims. This is greatly

due to the time it takes to gather, reviewand assess the nature of your disabilityand whether you are able to work in anycapacity. An attorney can be helpful in submittingyour application for bene ts. Working onyour behalf, an attorney can be assigned asyour representative. All correspondencewill then ow through your attorneysof ce. This will enable the attorney tofacilitate the process by gathering thenecessary medical evidence, as well as

nancial information that is reviewed bythe administration. Should you initially be denied bene ts,

the attorney can be most helpful in appealing said decision. Further more, at-torneys who specialize in Social SecurityDisability Bene ts applications will beable to assist you in ling in the mostexpeditious manner. Then, in the eventof a necessary appeal, your attorney willhave a le containing organized evidenceto help facilitate your appeal. Should you have any questions regard-ing this information or ling for SocialSecurity Disability Benefits, you cancontact the attorneys at R.C. Shea & As-sociates and an attorney will be glad toassist you.
