Grant For Police Cameras Accepted
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The Township Council recently accepted a grant for body worn cameras for the police officers. This grant, in the amount of $2,640,940, will go toward updating the cameras the department already uses. “We were the first mu nicipalit y in the county and the state to have our officers wear
cameras,” Mayor Carmen Amato said. Cameras are beneficial for several reasons. When there are claims that an officer used too much force, these cameras can provide evidence in the case. The footage can prove whether an officer did something wrong. It can also prove that the officer acted appropriately and the claims
against them are invalid.
New Stop Signs In other news, new stop signs were approved recently at the followi ng i ntersections: • Lakeside Boulevard and Hayden Street • Whitmore Drive and Cortlandt Drive • Zeeland Drive and Cortlandt Court
Capt. George Dohn said that the stop signs will help curtail crashes at these intersections.
Bulk Pick-Up Some residents have been complaining that bulk is left out too long for pick-up. Something like a couch would absorb rainwater and get mildewy. It also would be very heavy to put

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Customers of the Berkeley Township Municipal Utilities Authority got the “all clear” that they didn’t have to boil their water any more. The issue stemmed from a sample taken on July 14 which tested positive for e. coli. The boil water advisory lasted from July 19 until 2:40 p.m. on Saturday, July 24. “The BTMUA watermain system has been completely flushed with new water,” said Michelle Nugent, executive director of the BTMUA. The system has been tested multiple times since then and has continued to be negative for e. coli or coliform. The BTMUA Commissioners and staff thanked Mayor Carmen Amato, Police Chief Kevin Santucci, OEM Coordinator Michael Tier, the police department, Sewerage Authority, Sheriff Michael Mastronardy, his department, Berkeley Schools, Central Regional Schools, and the Central ROTC program for their help. ShopRite and Fulfill provided water that was distributed to customers at H&M Potter Elementary School. “The staff and professionals of the BTMUA deserve specific recognition for their concern and willingness to literally work around the clock to carry out the procedures of the state and federal regulations governing water quality emergencies,” Nugent said. “These employees did not stop until the job was done.” Getting the word out to the public about the boil water advisory took a lot of paths, from social media to traditional media like radio and print. It also underscored how important it is to sign up for Nixle emergency alerts on your phone, she said. In order to sign up, register at Nixle. com for emails or text “08721” to 888777 to receive text messages. You can also call the BTMUA at 732-237-0100 to add your cell phone number in your account information. Water customers were asked do the following: • Run your water faucets for 3-5 minutes to f lush your service connection and interior plumbing with water from the (Water - See Page 5)

and people needed something to do. They missed the community events. While large fairs and festivals were being cancelled left and right, this was small enough to be able to go on provided that they followed regulations like social distancing. The vendors missed the community events, too. Some of them lost out on significant income without any fairs to attend. So, Hopson said, the fire company wanted to support these small business owners, too. They liked a smaller event. At bigger festivals, they might get passed by because there’s so much to see. Here, customers can take their time and really look at their merchandise, and maybe even form a connection with the dealers. At the end of last year’s, they asked the vendors what was done right and what could be done better. They got a lot of great feedback. Some tables featured games to win, face painting or balloon animals. Others had dog treats, beauty products, interior decoration, beach items, f lower art, or any number of crafts and services. After one kind of vendor signed up, no
other vendor of that type was allowed, Hopson said. That let everyone have their own place in the sun. For example, there was just one farmers market instead of multiple farmers competing with each other. The same could be said of the food trucks, which included breakfast, lunch and sweet treats. The event ran from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., so breakfast was a possibility. There was also a conscious effort to provide variety for the visitors. Bury the Hatchet returned with a mobile target and axes. There was also a dunk tank and rock wall. Activities like this aren’t usually at craft fairs. Musician Kenny Curcio was recruited for the day. Originally a local, he has recently moved to Nashville as his country music career is starting to take off. It was fortunate to be able to snag him while he was playing Atlantic City, Hopson said, because he’s in demand. Music isn’t something you usually hear at a market so it was a nice touch to add that f lavor. Last year, they renovated the hall with the $3,200 they raised. The hall is a fundraising mechanism of its own so that improvement should help the firehouse in the long run. This year, they expected to make close to $4,000.

If several people in one neighborhood clean house, the curbs can be full of furniture and other large items. Then, the truck has to go to Manchester to dump it and then come back, which makes it take longer, Councilman Angelo Guadagno explained.

It enters water systems th rough groundwater cont a m i nat e d by hu ma n or a n i mal waste. The message from the Berkeley MUA noted that this kind of contamination can occur after heavy rains like we’ve had recently, because the water runoff enters the drinking water source. Breaks in the distribution system or failures in the treatment process are possible causes, and officials are investigating to see if that was the case here. In one instance, a garbage truck was filled after three houses, Amato said. “We’re trying to find out what we need to do, in the eyes of the (State Department of Environmental Protection), to become a transfer station,” he said. That way, there can be roll-off containers outside the public works yard and residents can drop items off if they are able to and if they don’t want to wait for their day. There would need to be a way to prevent contractors from dumping off construction materials, Councilman James Byrnes said.

Ocean Ice Palace’s New Owners Share Their Plans By Chris Christopher BRICK - The Ocean Ice Palace has new owners. They are the Harmony Hockey Group of Middletown, which has partnered with Work Play Arena, LLC. “We have created a great partnership and we will operate for many years to come,” said George Haviland, the managing partner, chief executive officer and president of the Harmony Hockey Group. Haviland said he is the owner and operator of the ice rinks, swimming club and artificial turf fields at the Middletown Sports Complex, managed by the Harmony Hockey group. The Ocean Ice Palace had been owned by the Dwulet family since 1962. The family said on social media that the facility was scheduled to close at the end of this month. That post was later taken down. “We have just taken over the Ocean Ice Palace,” Haviland told jerseyshoreonline.com, the website of The Brick Times, in an email at 7:18 a.m. Wednesday, July 21. “We’re coming in to save it.” Haviland said the deal was closed Tuesday, July 20. “We will keep it as an ice rink,” he said. “We will revitalize the ice skating and certainly the ice hockey programs at the historical ice facility. I have a great team of operators and hockey experts and a long-standing history not only in New Jersey but across the country as a leader in hockey development and the placement of athletes. I could not stand by and let it close. Its history is too rich. Brick Township and the surrounding communities should be able to use it for a long time. The purchase drew positive reaction from ice hockey fans on Facebook. Ex-Brick Township High School player Warren Charles Wolf, whose dad, Warren H. Wolf, founded the team on the club level and enjoyed a legendary career as the Green Dragons’ head football coach, said, “Beautiful! Wonderful! Outstanding!” “Sounds like a great idea,” retired educator Richard J. Frank said. “It’s reassuring to see that he (Haviland) recognizes the arena’s historical place in the community, former Jersey Shore sports journalist Tom Benn said. “Now, hopefully, parents will pry their children away from their TVs and laptops and have them lace up their skates. Good luck, Brick, on restoring the rink’s role in your community.” “FANTASTIC NEWS!!!” said Darlene May Scheiderman. “That’s terrific for Brick and all of Ocean County,” retired educator Frank
Hughes said. “Good to hear,” said Tom Webber, a former Brick assistant baseball coach. “Thank God,” retired Brick head football coach Rob Dahl said. “Let’s get Brick Hockey back in there where they belong.” “Maybe even get both Brick schools to play there again,” said Shawn Scott, an avid Green Dragons fan. Haviland owns the New Jersey Titans and the Jersey Whalers hockey clubs. T he Middletow n Spor ts Complex offers sports and entertainment activities. Their junior camp will be led by Haviland and former Brick Township High School, Lake Superior State and New Jersey Devils star Jim Dowd, who scored many a goal at the Ocean Ice Palace under legendary Green Dragons coach Bob Auriemma Sr., who retired a few years back. “That’s great news,” Auriemma Sr. said of the purchase. “The Ocean Ice Palace has been a fixture for so long. George is steeped in ice hockey and I feel he will do well. He is always upbeat. He always has positive comments. His ownership of the Ocean Ice Palace is all on the plus side. I am relieved that someone who knows ice hockey and who knows how difficult things can be has bought the Ocean Ice Palace. Haviland said Dowd will be involved at the Ocean Ice Palace. “He will be an ambassador,” Haviland said. “Jim’s boys played in our New Jersey Titans program. He has been with the Titans for five years as a coach. He has been a part of our ecosystem in Middletown where he coaches a number of our teams. I call him, ‘Jersey Jim.’ We have known each other since we were kids. We will have him forever. He is a legend. He is super positive with all of the guys. He treats them fairly. He can give tips to our players that most guys can’t give as he played for 17 years in the National Hockey League.” “My heart and soul are in Brick, New Jersey, and I want to help as many kids as I can,” Dowd said. “All roads lead back to Brick for me.” Dowd said the inaugural Jim Dowd Holiday Classic, a Christmas event, will take place Dec. 27-30. It will consist of Shore Conference and non-conference teams. Haviland said he hopes to bring the Green Dragons and the Brick Hockey Club back to the rink. Both have been absent. “We want the Green Dragons back,” he said. “We want to talk to the Brick Hockey Club about bringing them back to where they belong. I have met with the (Palace - See Page 7)

Haviland’s wife, Lisa, are the parents of four daughters, including Jess, who captains the women’s ice hockey team at Hamilton College, and Brianna, a member of the Elmira College women’s ice hockey team. He attended the University of Vermont where he played ice hockey. In addition to his extensive coaching career, Haviland said he has been involved with the business aspect of ice hockey for 25 years. “We have produced many college players,” he said. “We have developed unbelievable young men - NHL players, doctors, lawyers and realtors. I have coached 15,000 players. Ice hockey is a great sport because the players have to work together to accomplish team goals. It’s a fast moving sport and you need the whole team to produce.”

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Andy Kim ( NJ- 03), Cong re ssm a n St eve n Hor sford ( N V04), and Congresswoman Haley Stevens ( M I-11) introduced the Capping Dr ug Costs for Seniors Act , a bi l l t h at wou ld create an out-of-pocket spending maximum for the 46 million Americans
TRENTON - Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation (S-854) requiring civics instruction at the middle school level. Currently, New Jersey is one of a minority of states which does not require civics instruction for middle school students. Under the legislation, the New Jersey Center for Civic Education at Rutgers University will be directed to prepare civics curriculum guidelines for local school boards, ensuring that middle and high school students study the values and principles underlying the American system of constitutional democracy, the function of government, and the role of a citizen in a democratic society. The bill also directs the New Jersey Center for Civic Education at Rutgers University to provide professional development and oth-
Congressman Kim Introduces Bill To Limit Prescription Drug Costs for Seniors
on Medicare enrolled in the Medicare Part D prescription drug program. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation there are currently more than 1.2 million New Jerseyans enrolled in Medicare Part D. “No senior should be forced to decide between paying for their prescription drugs or paying for
rent or food. We owe it to them to provide the peace of mind that comes with health care they can afford, and this bill would ensure that the cost for their lifesavi ng prescr ipt ion drugs never spirals out of control. I’m proud to work with Congressman Horsford and Congresswoman Stevens on this important
effort and look forward to getting this passed through Congress.” Currently, the Medicare program has no out-ofpocket cap on how much beneficiaries pay for critical prescription drugs. The Capping Drug Costs for Seniors Act would create an annual cap of $2,000 for out-of-pocket costs on
prescription drugs under Medicare Part D, allowing most Medicare Part D recipients to save approximately $4,000 per year. The bill would also require prescription drug plans and pharmaceutical companies to pay a higher percentage of Medicare drug spending. In addition to the Capping Drug Costs for Seniors Act,
Murphy: Civics Instruction Will Now Be Required At Middle School Level
er resources for high school social studies teachers as they fulfill the requirement of integrating civics into the existing United States history course. Under the bill, beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, each board of education is required to provide a course of study in civics at the appropriate grade level. The legislation is also known as “Laura Wooten’s Law” in honor of the longest continuously serving poll worker in American history. Laura Wooten worked polls in New Jersey for 79 years before passing away in 2019. “By deepening civics instruction in middle school and high school, we are giving students the tools they need to be more engaged and informed citizens,” said Gover nor Mur phy. “An understanding of civics strengthens our democracy
by ensuring an understanding of the role that everyone plays in the future of their community, our state, and our nation. I am proud to sign this bill into law and honor Laura Wooten’s incredible civic legacy.” “While civics has been a key element of our state’s learning standards for decades, this new law greatly increases the focus and attention that schools will place on civics instruction,” said Dr. Angelica Allen-McMillan, Acting Commissioner of Education. “The additional instruction that students will receive will ultimately lead to a well-informed and well-rounded citizenry.” “Government leaders have been sounding the alarm about the civics crisis in this country for years, and I am grateful we are finally taking action,” said Senator
New Restaurants Coming Soon To Ocean County Mall
By Alyssa Riccardi TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Mall has announced that two new restaurants will be opening soon in the Lifestyle Center. Turning Point is slated to open in August of this year, while PF Chang’s location is new to the Ocean County market and will begin construction soon. Turning Point is a daytime café featuring delicious breakfast, lunch and brunch options in stylish surroundings. P.F. Chang’s brings a unique experience with
a combination of Chinese cuisine, attentive service, wine and tempting desserts all served in a stylish, high-energy bistro. The eatery is scheduled to start construction this month. These two restaurants will be joining many other businesses that have opened at the Lifestyle Center, which includes Ulta Beauty, Five Below, Sweetwater’s Coffee & Tea & HomeSense. For a full list of stores visit the center’s website at simon.com/mall/ocean-county-mall.
Shirley Turner. “The crisis reached a breaking point after the November election, which culminated in an insurrection at our U.S. Capitol in January. Safeguarding our democracy is now more urgent than ever, and one of the best ways we can do that is by teaching our future generations about the importance of civic skills, engagement, and participation and the value of a democratic process. The lack of civics knowledge creates a challenge to maintaining a perfect union, establishing justice, and ensuring domestic tranquility. We must learn to work together for the good of all of our communities and begin to bridge the deep political divide that exists in this country.” “A well-rounded education in civics is essential for creating knowledgeable,
engaged citizens who understand the sacrifices and hardships made on behalf of our democracy,” said Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean. “The law…will help provide students with the skills and background necessary for them to actively participate in democratic society. Every student in our public schools will have the opportunity to learn about how our government functions, the rights of citizens, and the values our nation was built on.” “I think we all appreciate how critical teaching civics is to the continuation of our democracy,” said Arlene Gardner, President of the NJ Center for Civic Education at Rutgers. “This new requirement for a civics course in New Jersey middle schools is a well thought-out and carefully considered effort to address

an educational and citizenship need. As president of the New Jersey Center for Civic Education at Rutgers University, I am both humbled and proud to be able to help in the implementation of this new course and in bringing New Jersey to the forefront of reimaging civic learning for the 21st century.” “My mother would be so honored to know that a bill would be passed recognizing her legacy of civic responsibility,” said Yvonne Hill, the daughter of Laura Wooten. “She always felt that the youth should be involved in exercising the hard-fought right to vote and help make change. Her famous words were ‘Don’t say you can’t make a difference. How can you make a difference if you don’t vote?’”

Around The Jersey Shore More Materials Can Now Be Recycled
By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – County officials credit a substantial investment to Ocean County’s regional recycling program along with increasing improvements to the recycled materials market for allowing the county to expand on what residents currently toss into recycling bins. Director of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners Gary Quinn said “since 2019, this Board of Commissioners in partnership with our materials recovery facility operator, has invested more than $5 million for improvements at the recycling materials processing facility at our Northern Recycling Center in Lakewood. “We are beginning to reach the other side of what has been a difficult time in our recycling program. Our investment is paying off and I am pleased to announce this expansion,” Quinn added. Additional plastics, more paper and more metals can now be placed in the single-stream recycling containers placed curbside by residents. Starting now, in addition to office papers and newspapers, the county will accept paperboard and chipboard. “We are expanding on the cur rent stream of items already collected. This ultimately decreases the number of materials going to the landfill and helps our municipalities save on landfill tipping costs,” Quinn said. “The more we recycle, the greater the environmental benefits.” “All of those cereal boxes, food boxes, tissue boxes, paper towel and toilet paper rolls can now be placed with all the other household recyclables for collection,” Quinn added. “Aluminum foil and aluminum trays that have been cleaned can now also be recycled.” The County is also accepting plastics 1, 2 and 5 and residents can determine if a plastic item can be recycled by checking for the number printed inside the recycling triangle on the object. Plastic bags however are unacceptable materials for curbside recycling. Quinn said, “in the past we focused on items like water and soda bottles, and any plastic container that’s neck was smaller than the container body. Now we are adding items like butter and yogurt containers, fast food beverage cups, microwavable food containers, plastic lids and other plastic items. Items should be cleaned before placed in a recycling receptacle.” The County official noted this expansion comes on the heels of substantial upgrades that have been completed at the county’s materials recycling facility located on New Hampshire Avenue in Lakewood. Ocean County also operates
a regional recycling facility in Stafford Township. “Ocean County made every effort to respond to the downturn in the recycling market and now things are beginning to turn around. Our goal is to position our Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Lakewood as one of New Jersey’s most state-of-the-art recycling facilities, capable of responding to the challenges of a continuously evolving global recyclables market,” Quinn said. “Starting in 2019 and in partnership with our MRF operator, Atlantic Coast Recycling, Ocean County has invested more than $5 million in improvements and needed upgrades for our recycling facility,” he added. Such upgrades include the installation of two new optical sorters that have helped increase the MRF’s overall production from 18 tons per hour to 25 tons per hour. A new glass sorting and cleanup system has improved glass separation and quality and lowered maintenance and trash disposal costs, saving recycling operations about $30,000 a month. A new high speed paper baler has reduced maintenance costs, increases the MRF’s speed and efficiency and reduced production costs per ton. Quinn said this baler “and higher quality paper being produced has made a big difference in revenues from under $20 per ton of mixed paper produced to more than $100.” Quinn added, “exceptional paper quality means it can be marketed anywhere in the world which is vitally important. All of these improvements have resulted in improved quality of the materials and lowered costs.” Last year, the County sorted nearly 87,000 tons of recyclables with more than 286,000 households sending their recyclables to the county weekly. “Recycling today is about adapting to market f luctuations, and Ocean County has found the best way to do so is to be proactive about facility improvements and diligent about educating residents on today’s recycling goals and best practices,” Quinn said. “It’s not enough to just throw items in a can, it’s imperative to recycle right. That provides us with the greatest environmental and financial benefits,” he added. Additional information from the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management is available at co.ocean.nj.us and its Facebook and Instagram social media pages. Quinn added, “we anticipate a large publicity campaign about the new items that will help our residents and visitors in their ongoing efforts to recycle right.”

Around The Jersey Shore Grant Program Covers A Year Of Rent By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Residential Emergency Rental Assistance program will help county residents to pay their rent and avoid eviction. “If your rent is in arrears or if you are a landlord who has not been paid due to the financial impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, this program offers financial assistance in the form of a grant,” said Ocean County Commissioner Director Gary Quinn. This program provides up to $26,610 in assistance paid directly to the landlord. It covers up to 12 months of arrearages and three months’ rent going forward. Median income requirements must also be met. The money was made available through the federal CARES Act. The application is accessible from the Ocean County website at co.ocean.nj.us. Click on the link to the Residential Emergency Rental Assistance Program. This will connect you to information about the grant program including the documents needed, eligibility requirements, where to find case managers and the actual application. Income limits are listed on the web page. Residents and landlords can get direct help with the application process from case managers by calling the Ocean County Residential Emergency Rental Assistance Program call center at 833753-9671. A schedule of locations, dates and times to meet with case managers is also available on the application page. “The amounts have been increased to meet the needs of our residents and landlords. It’s for those households that have qualified for unemployment benefits or
experienced other financial hardship due to the COVID-19 outbreak,” Quinn said. “We have received over 1,100 applications so far. The Commissioners appropriated $18 million for this assistance and we continue to accept applications,” Quinn said. “As critical dates approach for the lifting of moratoriums on evictions, now more than ever, this grant program, could serve as a true lifeline. It helps both the renter and the landlord, who in many cases has gone without receiving rental income and has also suffered financially because of nonpayment.” Applicants will need to demonstrate that their income does not exceed the Area Median Income limits and that they were unable to pay their rent due to COVID-19. “You will also need to provide a current lease/rental agreement and provide all required documents for your application to be considered complete,” Quinn said. This program also requires participation of the applicant’s landlord to provide information for rental assistance payment. Tenants and landlord applicants are encouraged to work together to receive the grant funds. Applicants will need to certify that they have not received assistance from the N.J. Department of Community Affairs’ program or other rental assistance programs before receiving benefits from Ocean County’s program. Landlords can also apply on behalf of tenants. “While an application is not a guarantee of assistance, it’s important that our residents know help is available,” Quinn said.

Local Man Jailed For Aggravated Manslaughter By Chris Lundy SOUTH TOMS RIVER – A local man was sentenced to 10 years in State prison for the shooting death of a Beachwood man in 2015. Marcus Samuels, 32, of South Toms River, previously pleaded guilty to Aggravated Manslaughter. He was sentenced recently to 10 years in prison. He has to serve at least 85% of that term before being eligible for parole due to the No Early Release Act. Samuels also was sentenced to five years in prison for an unrelated charge of Aggravated Assault from an incident in Seaside Heights on May 3, 2015. In the manslaughter incident, Samuels drove a car up to one driven by Willie Love, 27, of Beachwood, on June 8, 2015. He “recklessly” fired a gun into the other car,
striking Love in the chest, police said. There were three other people in Love’s car. Love died of his injuries in Community Medical Center in Toms River shortly thereafter. He surrendered to law enforcement on June 12, 2015. Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer acknowledged the efforts of Chief Narcotics Assistant Prosecutor William Porter and Assistant Prosecutor Stephen Burke who handled the case on behalf of the State, as well as the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Unit, South Toms River Police Department, Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit, and New Jersey State Police Office of Forensic Science, for their collaborative efforts.

─Photo courtesy International Student Exchange OCEA N COU N T Y – As i nter national travel returns to normal, high school students from around the world eagerly await their opportunity to participate in an exchange program in the U.S. International Student Exchange (ISE), a 501c3 nonprofit organization that facilitates exchange programs for students in the U.S. and abroad, is currently seeking volunteers in the area to host these students while they attend local high schools. This is an exciting opportunity for anyone interested in a unique experience in which they will create relationships that span the globe while making a positive impact locally and globally. ISE host families come from all walks of life and represent the diversity of America. The most crucial host family characteristic is that they are willing to treat the exchange student like a member of the family, not a guest. Beyond
this, host families must be vetted by ISE, pass a background check, provide room and board, 2 to 3 meals per day and exercise parental responsibility to ensure the student’s well-being. ISE excha nge st ude nt s a re 15 t o 18-year-old high school students from over 40 countries around the world. They are accepted into the program based on their ability to speak English, demeanor, adaptability and eagerness to learn about a new culture while sharing their own. The students have many sports and arts interests. There are currently several students awaiting a volunteer hosts in Ocean, Bu rling ton, Hu nterdon, Mor r is and Camden County schools have opening for our exchange st udents.

Lacey Teen Becomes A Savage Ninja Warrior
By Bob Vosseller LACEY – Township teenager Ava Colasanti proved her worth as an extreme athlete having appeared on a recent episode of the NBC TV series American Ninja Warrior. For the 16-year-old, competing on the American Ninja Warrior Championship series - currently in its 13th season - has been the dream of a lifetime. The Lacey High School student’s motto is “savage” and she recently showcased her athletic talent and perseverance on the show overcoming a variety of challenges as part of the competition. Ava wore her pink “savage” T-shirt during the filming of the show. She said “savage” became her battle cry and motto due to her tireless training in the last five years in various gyms and training camps. “She is the savage ninja,” her mother, Kim Colasanti said. “You can’t spell ‘savage’ without Ava. Her favorite color is pink so that is what she wears.” Her mother told The Southern Ocean Times that her daughter appeared on the July 12 episode of American Ninja Warrior for her qualifying round. She qualified for her region among the top five women. “She was very excited to have been able to live her dream of being on American Ninja Warrior. She is so happy that she made it to the semifinals. We will have to watch her run and see if she ultimately makes it to finals in Las Vegas,” her mom added. Her mother said Ava wasn’t happy about her qualifying run but her fast time got her into the semifinals. “The training then got harder. She had to start training more at night knowing she was going to L.A. and may have to compete later than 10 p.m.” Overall the teen enjoyed her experience but at times it was very stressful. “She had to keep up with her schoolwork and even had to be homeschooled on the set. She said it wasn’t at all what she expected especially because of COVID and having to be tested multiple times and she wasn’t allowed to socialize with her competitors,” her mother added. Ava enjoyed “the experience of the
production, the interviews and the photo shoots, although she wished it were at times less about TV and more about the competition,” her mother said. The teen spent a lot of her time training at Centercourt Athletic Club in Chatham and has also participated in cross country running as part of her high school team. The competition requires a number of skills as athletes run, jump, climb and face a variety of obstacles that they need to size up without much or any warning of what they are facing. The game show’s new season started May 31 and has an average viewership of 35 million. Some commercials promoting its return featured Ava. The series includes some of the country’s most elite athletes who must overcome some very difficult obstacle courses. Ava is among more than 400 competitors and was ranked fifth among elite females in the National Ninja League standings. Among the categories she competed in recently was a tilt-a-whirl. The Lacey teen recently helped raise funds for Tyler Keats, a former township resident now living in Florida who is fighting a genetic disorder. Her fundraiser for Keats, who has Leukodystrophy, a progressive brain disease, involves the sale of her “savage” T-shirts. Those who wish to become part of her Team Savage benefit can visit her Bonfire Page where the shirts are being sold. “He is 9 and walks with a walker and gets around outside of the house mostly with a wheelchair. He was our neighbor in Lacey and we have been able to still keep in touch although they have moved. Ava is inspired by his strength and his ability to overcome is daily obstacles,” Kim Colasanti said. An interview with Ava was shot at the family home by the producers prior to the airing of the 13th season and it was not clear as to when that segment would air. “I’m not sure how that works. They gave us some answers but not all the answers,” her mother said. During a prior interview with The Southern Ocean Times, Ava and her parents were unsure what they were allowed to tell the media concerning her onscreen adventure.

Her mother did say though that “if she can’t work through an obstacle, she’ll keep working at it. Her hands are often bloody. This has been her life. (Ninja training). It has taken over and it has become a lot of our life as well.” “It has been quite an adventure, moreso for my husband because he became her coach through a lot of this especially during the pandemic when she couldn’t actually compete and when he got back into the gym, because at first the parents were told we couldn’t go in with them, so my husband became Coach Ralph and he coaches a lot of the kids and if they can survive Coach Ralph they can survive anything,” she said.
Kim Colasanti said, “we both work in medicine and he works as a sales representative for Johnson & Johnson. I do orthopedics for a living. Ava really enjoys this and it was something different. Not everyone knows about the Ninja competition which is more than the TV show. She likes the fact that she excels at something that is different from everyone else. It has built up her confidence.” Ava will continue to appear on American Ninja Warrior as the competition progresses. Her mom said, “she will be moving onto semi-finals which we think will air on August 23 but we’re not exactly 100% sure about that.” The series airs at 8 p.m. Monday nights on NBC.

Former Jackson Superintendent UBER- Lyft Transportation To Lead Toms River Schools
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – A little over a year ago, Stephen Genco retired as superintendent of Jackson Township’s School District. He’ll be coming out of retirement this fall as the interim Superintendent of Toms River Schools. Genco will replace Thomas Gialanella, who served in that role since January 1. Gialanella is returning to his position at Ocean County College on August 1. The Toms River School Board approved Genco’s hiring as it continues its search for a long-term appointment. Genco has the qualifications to steer the district through its transition to new leadership. He is a former science teacher and rose from principal at Wall Township High School to assistant superintendent at Jackson Township School District, where he would ultimately serve as superintendent for seven years before retiring. Prior to Jackson, Genco led South Plainfield School District for four years, and had most recently returned to his educational roots by teaching a leadership course at Georgian Court University before being called upon by the Toms River School District Genco remarked that he was “genuinely honored to have the opportunity to lead Toms River Schools. Over the years in my various professional roles, and through being a longtime Jersey Shore guy, I’ve come to know and deeply respect many of the fine people who make up this district. “I look forward to working with them, and to serving the students and families of this close-knit, diverse, and proud community for the next several months,” Genco added. Toms River Regional Schools is the second largest suburban district in New Jersey, and Genco will be able to build off his experience at Jackson, another K-12 district that serves nearly 9,000 students. “Steve will do a fantastic job,” said outgoing Interim Superintendent Gialanella. They had both been administrators in Jackson. “I’ve known him for many years, and he has the perfect temperament and educational back-
ground to navigate any challenges and keep this district moving in a positive direction.” That educational background aligns well with the district’s current vision and goals. At Wall, Genco helped implement the accreditation process for students, which Toms River recently enhanced through dual enrollment with Ocean County College. It was noted by Toms River School District officials that Genco’s experience in large-scale collaborative projects and curriculum development bodes well, as does his research-based projects in improving school climate and integrating diverse student populations. While he was superintendent, Jackson Schools became part of the statewide Support Our Schools (SOS) coalition of districts adversely affected by State Bill S-2 (which cut state aid), so Genco is well equipped to continue carrying that torch on behalf of Toms River, school officials noted. “I believe that the most important interaction that occurs in a school is between the teacher and the student. As interim superintendent, I’ll be steadfast in my commitment to creating opportunities that foster this relationship as well as providing teachers with rich professional development experiences as part of a professional learning community,” Genco added. The superintendent position has become a political issue in Toms River. Former Superintendent David Healy retired on the last day of 2020. Healy had offered to stay until the end of June while the superintendent search was underway, but that move was blocked, some say politically. Two options for a permanent superintendent have become known – current assistant superintendent James Ricotta and James Altobello, director of secondary instruction for the Hamilton School District. There are accusations that backroom maneuvering has caused a minority group of board members to push for Altobello, but they have denied this. Chris Lundy contributed to this story.

Network Companies
Are You Adequately Insured During A Ride Share? By: Michael J. Deem, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates Over the last few years, Transportation Network Companies such as Uber and Lyft have become the go-to livery service rather than the common taxi driver. Many people use these companies on a daily or weekly basis. But what happens when you are involved in a collision while a passenger in a Lyft or Uber rideshare vehicle? Are you covered? Recently, the New Jersey Legislature defined the scope of mandatory insurance coverage for the transportation network companies and their drivers (such as Uber or Lyft). While an occupant of a prearranged ride, the transportation network company and or the driver shall maintain the following insurance coverage for your benefit: (1) primary automobile liability insurance in the amount of at least $1,500,000 for death, bodily injury, and property damage; and (2 uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage in an amount of at least $1,500,000. This insurance coverage, which is to be maintained by the transportation network company (Uber / Lyft), shall not be dependent upon your automobile insurer first denying a claim, nor shall your automobile insurance policy be required to first deny a claim. This means that the insurance provided by the Transportation Network Companies such as Uber and Lyft is primary. However, the Transportation Network Companies are not required to provide medical coverage in the event you are injured while an occupant of the rideshare vehicle. Moreover, because Uber and Lyft are a form a livery service, the ride share vehicle is not covered under your automobile Personal Injury Protection (PIP) medical expense insurance coverage. Consequently, unless
you have access to health insurance, you will be uninsured for your medical expenses although, if you happen to fall into the uninsured status, you are not without recourse. An uninsured passenger may recover his/ her medical expenses from the party who caused the collision. This is a departure from the previous concept of the personal injury protection laws which prohibited recovery of medical expenses from the atfault driver. Finally, the Limitation on Lawsuit Option which ordinarily restricts an injured motorists’ right to sue for personal injuries, shall not be asserted by a transportation network company or a transportation network company driver in defense to any action for damages arising from a prearranged ride, nor shall it be asserted against any party not receiving personal injury protection benefits in any action for damages arising from a prearranged. This means that your personal injury lawsuit will not be burdened with the requirement that you prove that the collision caused an objectively verifiable permanent injury. Rather, any disability related to the collision will suffice, which is a much simpler burden of proof. Ridesharing has become much easier and transparent with the advancement of technology. So it’s about time the Legislature has acted to protect the interests of the consumer by mandating insurance coverage and removing the obstacles of a lawsuit in the event of an injury while riding in a livery vehicle.

3 Tips For Better Battery Life
It’s a Netflix movie night when suddenly — Argh! — you hear the “beep, beep” of your nonrechargeable hearing aid batteries going dead. For longer battery life, take charge with these three tips. Pulling the stay-fresh colored tab immediately activates the battery and can’t be undone, so do this only when you’re ready to insert the battery in your hearing aid. Wait at least 3 minutes before you close the battery door. The reason is oxygen needs to get inside the battery to turn up the voltage. Powering down your hearing devices helps the batteries last, so be sure to turn off your hearing aids — and completely open the battery door — when not in use.
Hot cars and super-cold spaces aren’t great places for batteries, so store them at room temperature when possible — not in the fridge — to help preserve battery life. Did you know? The majority of our patients are not utilizing rechargeable hearing aids which eliminates the need to open/close battery doors and/or replace the battery every week. In general, the rechargeable hearing aid can deliver allday power (18-24 hours), so you don’t miss a beat. To learn more, call Dr. Izzy at Garden State Hearing & Balance Center. Offices are located in Toms River, Manahawkin, and Whiting. 732-8183610 or www.gardenstatehearing.com

How Certain Medications Increase Lung Complications
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. The worldwide pandemic has caused enormous public health problems and substantial mortality, so it is important that vulnerable groups of people know the information that I’m sharing today. If you’ve followed my life’s work, you know that one of my passions is the phenomena of drug nutrient depletion. This describes how medications rob the body of essential nutrients via their mechanism of action. It’s something I call the “drug mugger” effect, and I have a book by the same name. The classic example that everyone understands is with antibiotics. These drugs will rob the body of essential microflora in the intestines because they cannot discriminate between good “bugs” and bad ones. Another classic example is with oral contraceptives which mug you of various B vitamins and minerals, leading to a higher risk of hypothyroidism. Today’s article is to explain the relationship between certain prescribed medications and complications that arise from the depletion of essential nutrients. That said, you should never discontinue a medication simply because it is suppressing a particular nutrient. Instead, you should install a security system in your body by simply taking the nutrients that are being mugged. This allows you to remain on your medication, while mitigating side effects that would have occurred if you didn’t restore the nutrients being stolen. You may not realize this, but two categories of medication can suppress zinc in the human body. Those include the antihypertensives which lower blood pressure, and the acid-reducing medications for heartburn. These and other medications can negatively influence the status of zinc in your body
which participates in hundreds of important metabolic reactions including those which allow you to hear well, have lovely skin, and improve fertility. When zinc levels decline it impairs one’s immunity, and lowers your resistance to pathogens. Zinc deficiencies also suppress your ability to do good cellular housekeeping because you can’t effectively make glutathione anymore in your liver. Foods that are rich in zinc include beef, dairy, oysters, seafood, whole grains and nuts/seeds. Several other micronutrients are important and these include vitamin D, vitamin C and probiotics. Malnutrition, medications and/ or a diet consisting of nutritionally naked foods will lead to deficiencies in all of these. Medications which impact levels of the nutrients are vast, too many to list here. Here are the most important and surprising categories of medications that reduce micronutrients. I’ve also included a few lifestyle factors that you can control: Zinc - Acid blockers, Antihypertensives, Corticosteroids, Excessive Calcium, Coffee and Smoking Vitamin D - Antacids, Cholesterol binders, Anticonvulsants, Kidney Damage and Lack of Sunlight Vitamin C - Anti-hypertensives, Aspirin, Corticosteroids, Hormones and SERMs Probiotics - Antibiotics, Estrogen containing drugs, Acid blockers and NSAIDs For a comprehensive list of each nutrient, and all the drug muggers, please refer to my book by the same name. It is sold nationwide at book stores, as well as Amazon. If you’d like to read the longer version of this article, I’m happy to email it to you, just sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

BUSINESS PROFILE I&G’s Legacy Continues To Grow
I&G Farms is located at 150 Whitesville Road and is well known for its fresh fruit and vegetables and wide variety of plants and plant care items.
I&G Farms founder Irene Johnston greets customers during another busy day of business. By Bob Vosseller Even a pandemic can’t keep spring from arriving and with it comes fresh fruit and vegetables and plenty of plants and flowers from I & G Farms in Jackson. I&G Farms is an institution in Jackson for close to 50 years. It is, located at 150 Whitesville Road it is known for programming some of the tastiest corn in the state. It’s “Jersey Fresh” at its freshest, tastiest and finest! The plant and produce business founded by Irene and Gregory Johnston has an enduring legacy that has continued on with
owner Irene Johnston and her son Jason. The farm’s hours are Monday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The only time they close down the business is in November for two weeks as part of their holiday season transition. They also shut down in January until the third week in March when they reopen for the spring selling season. Jackson residents, as well as those in
Everything is fresh and in bloom at I&G Farms which is an institution in Jackson for close to 50 years.
communities nearby enjoy their fresh produce. addition to residents of area towns and even neighboring states, for over 40 years. When you visit I & G Farms you’ll quickly spot a lot of eye catching seasonal themed painted windows as well as an attractive, welcoming landscape of thriving flowers and plants that are available for purchase. Irene and her son hope you will be impressed by the large array of fruits and vegetables that will
provide a feast for the eyes and an explosion of colors bursting with just picked freshness. She noted that these days, “people have a lot higher awareness of the food that they’re eating. A lot of them ask me about GMO (genetically modified organism.) GMO for 20 years but if I mentioned it 20 years ago, they would have no clue what I’m talking about.” Health problems and environmental damage can occur from GMOs. According to the Non GMO Project, GMOs are “living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering or GE. This creates unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.” “People know they can come here, where the food was grown. I can give them the source of the seed and I know exactly how it was grown. That matters a lot. People tell me our string beans taste like a bean. They’ve been eating food that has no taste because big corporate farms don’t plow their ground,” Irene added, “They just keep planting on it over and over again. There’s nothing left in the soil, no nutrients. They have a machine that pulls the plant out of the ground and shakes it to death so beans fall off, go into a hopper, into a bin, get broken and get brown. They’re beat up. Ours are handpicked and beautiful, she added. Irene’s motto when it comes to I & G Farms is “if they plant it, they will come.” Gregor y ’s sweet corn named after her late husband; Gregory remains the star of the market. It is grown in various “blocks,” and staggering the planting time results in corn (hopefully) until the end of October.” “We always have fresh corn, all super sweet,” Irene exclaimed. “In my dreams, if someone told me people would go crazy over corn, I would never have believed it. She laughed as she said her husband got up at 5:30 a.m. and was out in the cornfield.” The corn still receives that same level of care. It may sound odd to imagine corn has a following, but I&G’s corn
is legendary and is proof that people will travel to get a great ear of corn. “The only thing better than a “Jersey tomato” is a “Jersey tomato” from I&G,” Irene said. Also in the offering are several varieties of squash and eggplant. Jackson resident Liz Ferullo is a frequent customer of I&G. She shared tales of how her relatives bring back the produce bought at the farm to Yonkers, New York. “My brother and sister-in-law from Toms River say “come over for a barbeque and bring the corn. Make sure that you stop by I&G,” Ferullo said. “This is the sweetest corn anywhere in New Jersey.” Irene said she also enjoys the lasting customer friendships that have endured through the years including the new ones that she continuously cultivates. “A lot of customers are connoisseur growers. That’s why they come here. They get information, the knowledge and education they can’t get anywhere else,” Irene added. Beyond the corn and produce there are many new and different items that are available to pick from to entice Ferullo and others back to I&G Farms over and over again. Ferullo said she comes to I&G often “for my gardening, my plants, my perennials, my potted plants and the quality is phenomenal.” Another motto can be found right on the I&G T-shirts which state, “growers for all seasons.” The shirts are on sale inside the building where special plant products are available. The outside pay station area is where gift cards can be purchased. Poinsettias can be found in the greenhouses every July while autumn ushers in 30,000 field grown mums along with pumpkin’s, cornstalks and straw. When produce season concludes at the end of October, the market shuts down for two weeks and is transformed into a decorating center where wreaths, grave blankets and bows are custom made. Christmas trees are also available for selection. While time marches on, even during a global pandemic, customers remain thrilled that I&G Farms remains a familiar area landmark. Visit I&G Farms at iandgfarmsjackson.com, and like them on Facebook; IGFarms, but it is always better to simply stop by! If you have questions call 732-364-0308.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jul 31 - aug 6 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): YHead off problems at the pass. Attend to financial obligations before they can disrupt your budget or interrupt your routines. In the week ahead, don’t splurge if you shouldn’t. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Face the fact that there will be times when you don’t receive instant gratification. There may be a hidden catch in a plan this week. Be flexible with all of your plans, as they may change. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Only recommend things you’re sure of. Avoid involvement in anything that seems sketchy and could backfire. Explain things in detail so that no lingering doubts hamper the outcome in the week to come. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Someone might doubt your ability, so take steps to prove them wrong as the week unfolds. Achieve your goals and hit the target by developing a picture of the future and aiming your energies in that direction. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can mentally grasp the ins and outs of a complicated situation. Use your knowledge to devise a plan that benefits everyone involved. Avoid impulse spending and hang onto your cash in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone might think you’re doing nothing when in fact you’re doing a great deal. Make the most of your harmonious relationships this weekend, as you may not be as well attuned later in the week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your roman-
tic nature may be fired up today, and your vivid imagination likely has few boundaries. You’re still practical enough to avoid risky business in the week ahead and can dissuade a partner from overspending. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s easy for you to understand the need for order and planning. Pay attention to lessons learned from experience as this week unfolds. Sometimes you must remind people of the past to persuade them to change. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you want to succeed, consider the well-being of all concerned. Don’t put your foot in your mouth at the workplace by offering uninvited advice. Focus on being in the right place at the right time this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Achieving goals can become a game that gives you permission to go for broke. Although you might be popular at work, someone may be jealous of your success. Hold off on making major purchases this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Respect any reasonable request for personal space. People who rub shoulders with you in a group setting might secretly be offended by familiarity or a lack of formality. Use good manners in the week ahead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Some people do their best work behind the scenes. You might not be in the spotlight, but you still can make a valuable contribution. You won’t need to micromanage a situation to get other people to cooperate.
