Ocean Of Love Radiothon Hits Its Target To Help Children With Cancer

There Might Be Detour In School’s Road Forward Plan
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – The Board of Education and school district administrators told the public that the changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic would continue to loom over the new school year. Superintendent Nicole Pormilli said administrators and other staff have been busy with aspects of the new school year. “I visited many of the schools throughout the last few days and weeks and had the opportunity to see students really excited in learning. The energy was great and there is a lot of positivity happening.”

for the non-profit organization Ocean of Love. It reached its goal of $109,000 at the conclusion of the event which ran from September 20-23. Executive Director Theresa Segul said the money will provide “financial and emotional support so that children
with cancer can experience ‘normal’ joys of childhood, knowing their lives are significant and meaningful to each and every one of us.” Previously, the benefit was hosted by Townsquare Media and featured radio personality Andy Chase. While
Chase is no longer with that group, he said he was excited about the continuation of this event and that Beasley Media Group’s WRAT 95.9 FM became the new event sponsor. While Chase was still highly involved with the effort, it was WRAT radio personality Gotts
who spent many hours on the top of the 30-foot billboard based at the Lowes/Target parking lot at 1331 Hooper Avenue. Several community organizations such as the Ocean County 4-H Club came out to showcase what they do in the perimeter near (Radio - See Page 15)
Students Win Award For Positive Character By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Students at the Lucy N. Holman Elementary School were recently recognized for demonstrating their positive character Holman is one of 325 schools that were recognized by U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona through the National Blue Ribbon Schools program this year. The recognition is based on a school’s overall academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups. “This year’s cohort of honorees demonstrates what is possible when committed educators and school leaders create vibrant, welcoming, and affirming school cultures where rich teaching and learning can f lourish,” Cardona said. The Holman School utilizes a balanced literacy model and blends the scientific principles of learning to read with a comprehensive reading and w r iting workshop curriculum that instills the love of reading and supports comprehension, school officials said.

Continued From Page 1 went on to explain that while folk style wrestling is a popular style of wrestling taught in schools, freestyle and Greco Roman are practiced worldwide. Freestyle is a style of martial arts using traditional wrestling and judo, while Greco Roman differs as it forbids full holds below the waist restricting the use of trips or hooks to the opponents’ legs to bring them to the ground, the proclamation stated. In June the 12-year-old was selected to be a member of a prestigious wrestling group following a tournament held in Wisconsin. “While these accomplishments are quite impressive it doesn’t stop there,” Borrelli added. William was invited to be part of Team USA in a match in Budapest Hungry. That required him to travel to North Carolina at the end of July to train with other team members before he went overseas to compete and train with other world youth teams. During his international freestyle tournament, he scored a victory in the first period with several pins. The proclamation extends on behalf of Mayor Michael Reina and the Council “our sincere congratulations on these outstanding
accomplishments,” Borrelli said. “We wish him the best of luck in his wrestling career and all his future endeavors,” Borrelli added. The evening became a family event when his father was asked to remain before the dais for the reading of a second proclamation. The senior William Webb was surprised about this proclamation as it honored his time serving in the U.S. military. The governing body has been known to support the accomplishments of those who serve in the armed forces during council meetings. It was noted that during his service in the Army, Web received two Bronze Stars and one Purple Heart. Council President Andrew Kern read the proclamation which stated, “it is the distinct pleasure of the Township of Jackson to honor and recognize this outstanding and heroic citizen in our community. On August 9, 2021 Sgt. 1st Class William Billy Webb off icially retired from the United States Army after a long and distinguished military career.” Kern noted that Web’s diverse military background included “protective service detail, telecommunications chief, operations NCO, and platoon sergeant just to name a few.”
Webb’s assignments took him to several locations including Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Camp Smith in Hawaii, and Camp Humphreys in South Korea. He had five deployments that included four to Afghanistan and one to Iraq where he was injured. His family includes his wife Mara and his son Will who remained at the dais with him. His son was born during his third deployment. “He was blessed to return home to welcome their new addition to the family,” Kern added. The Council President added, “we wish to express our sincere appreciation to Sgt. 1st Class William Billy Webb for his loyalty to our country. Furthermore, we urge all citizens to join us in congratulating him on his retirement from the United States Army and expressing sincere appreciation to his unwavering dedication and ser vice to this great nation.” Young Will was also not aware he’d be receiving a proclamation. “We just told him we were going out so get ready,” his father said. “I was surprised,” he said. He noted that he has a big adventure ahead of him in traveling to Sweden in November. “I like to travel.” He’ll be traveling with his fellow team members and competing in a match utilizing his Greco Roman
skills which is the wrestling style he prefers. “You have to work harder for your positions,” the 6 th grader said. “I’m glad to be back in school - it feels better. My favorite subject is social studies.” “When he first started with the trips, we thought they were just about wrestling but that is the furthest that actually happens on the trip,” his father added. “They wrestle and get inter national experience in different countries but the head coach gives them a heads up on what they are going to see.” “That is what a lot of the kids look forward to, seeing some of the historical sights. When they go to Sweden, they will spend a night or two near where there is an old castle. When they went to Budapest, they went to a memorial of World War II. They see a lot of historical sites and he loves history.” Will lost his biological mother to cancer when he was 7 years old. His father said that being involved in the wrestling program helped him cope with the loss and helped him to also become more confident, disciplined and independent. As for the senior Mr. Webb, he is very happy in his retirement from the military. His last duty assignment had him at nearby by Fort Dix which is part of the Joint Base. “I’m enjoying it.”

Continued From Page 1 “It is wonderful to see our students back and engaged in activities and that is what we want to see. Obviously, it has been a lot difficult than we had hoped for but still very positive in many ways,” the superintendent added. Pormilli said that the district has had more “quarantining than we had hoped for and more positive cases that we have seen than we were hoping for but I wanted the board and public aware that we have - for full transparency - started our COVID dash board which is posted to our district website so you can observe any positive cases that have occurred in our schools.” “The quarantining is still a challenge for us” even though there is a rule that you don’t have to quarantine if you were wearing a mask and are six feet away, she said. “However there are areas in our schools that is not possible to do. Anything under three feet, we still need to quarantine students who have been exposed.” Pormilli said the district is continuing to review its Road Forward plan and “it is likely that we may be changing that instructional model. Conversations are happening this week with our staff and administrators. We will tweak what we feel we need to meet the needs of our students.” Student Representative Reports Per tradition, Pormilli introduced this year’s student representatives from the school district’s two high schools, Jackson
The Jackson Times, October 2, 2021, Page 5 Memorial and Jackson Liberty. Both will be making reports to the Board and the public during the school year regarding activities of their respective schools. This year’s representatives are Brooklyn Silvan representing Jackson Liberty and Dakota Calcaterra – the representative of Jackson Memorial. Pormilli said “it is always an exciting time to hear from our high school students.” Dakota noted that “for the past month Jackson Memorial High School has had a successful start and resumption of student life. It is clearly remarkable to see such a bounce back after the last 18 months which I think we can all agree have been anything but stable.” He said the school’s five-day, full schedule has been welcomed by students and that extracurricular activities within the school have also returned. “One of the most impressive was the painting of spots in the senior parking lot. That was a resounding success as I’m sure many of you have seen outside.” “Murals ranging from album covers to paintings of the universe now cover the lot expressing the uniqueness and individuality of our student body,” he added. The JMHS student also said that freshman orientation “also returned without a hitch. We’ve also seen our DECA and business clubs resume activity. Our National Honor societies have begun to pick back up and I’ve been asked more and more each day what does it take to be a part of these great organizations.” (Plan - See Page 6)

Continued From Page 5 Regarding the high school’s athletic program, he added that “we look forward to a challenging and rewarding fall season.” Brooklyn said, “there is a lot going on at Jackson Liberty. Everyone is glad to be back in the classroom fulltime and getting back to some sense of normalcy. Picture day is coming up soon for the yearbook for the underclassmen and will be held on October 11 in the auditorium.” She noted the school’s football teams victory over Point Beach “beating them 13 to nothing” in the home opening game. The Field Hockey team defeating Donavan Catholic in Toms River recently. The girls’ volleyball team remains undefeated 4-0. “Our band made headlines after their return to competition after a year’s hiatus because of COVID restrictions. They took home the title of best overall band and awards for best overall percussion, music and visual. With all these sports fundraising
is very important. Soccer teams have turned to online fundraising due to COVID. Check your e-mail to see if any athletes e-mailed you asking for donations,” she added. She noted that the “Class of 2022 held a fundraiser to paint their parking spot. It was a great opportunity for seniors to show their creative side along with helping out their class. The class of 2023 are selling apparel and tumblers.” More student representatives? Board member Gus Acevedo presented an idea to the superintendent that when the position of student board of education representative was created “we had one because we had one high school and then we had two so we had two members.” “I’m suggesting we have a boy and a girl, a male and female from Memorial and a male and female from Liberty so an extra person gets the honor to their college resume but also so we get the input of both genders at both high schools. It is something for you to consider,” Acevedo added.

Congressman Smith Wants Study On Conspiracy Theory That U.S. Created Lyme Disease
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The House of Representatives this week passed an amendment offered by Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) directing the federal gove r n me nt’s “ wat chdog ” agency to investigate the Department of Defense’s (DOD) possible weaponization of ticks and other insects with Lyme disease during its consideration of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (H.R. 4350). T he i nve s t ig at ion i s based on suggestions that have been debunked by b ot h t h e m i l it a r y a n d medical community and is seen as a conspiracy theory. “In the spirit of transpar-
ency and accountability, my amend ment di rects the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to probe whether the Department of Defense ever weapon i zed t ick s w it h Lyme disease or any other dangerous pathogen,” said Rep. Smith, the founding c o - ch a i r of t he Hou se Lyme Disease Caucus. “Americans deserve the truth,” Smith said. “The millions of Americans suffering from Lyme disease have a right to know whether any of this is true, and if any old research documents could be applied by current-day scient ist s to f i nd i ng a better diagnostic or treatment - something that’s
desperately needed,” said Smith, who has been advocat i ng for Ly me patients and a more robust government response to the devastating disease since 1992. Smith’s amendment requires the GAO to report findings to Congress of any DOD experiments on ticks or other insects for use as biological weapons f rom 1950 to 1977, including the experiment’s scope and whether any i nsects may have been “released outside of any laborator y by accident or exper iment desig n.” Similar amendments authored by Smith passed the House in 2019 and 2020, but did not make it
through the Senate. The legislation comes in the wake of credible assertions made in numerous books and articles that significant research was conducted at Fort Detrick, Plu m I sla nd a nd el s e where by the DOD to turn t ick s i nt o biowe a p on s causing severe disability, disease and even death to potential enemies. One book – “Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons” by Kris Newby - includes interviews with Dr. Willy Burgdorfer, the researcher credited with d iscover i ng Ly me d isease who also worked as a bioweapons specialist. Combined with access to
Burgdorfer’s lab files, the interviews suggest that he and other bioweapons specialists stuffed ticks with dangerous pathogens. “To stop the spread of these horrific tick-borne diseases, we must f irst understand their origins and how they came to be so pervasive,” Smith said. “If the investigation concludes our government’s bioweapons program did not contribute to the proliferation of Ly me, we turn the page. And if it did, hopefully this investigation and research will contribute to a cure,” he said. A December 2020 report from the Department of Health and Human Ser-
vices’ Tick-Borne Disease Wor k i ng G r ou p fou nd that Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease with an estimated 300,000 new cases diagnosed each year - a figure that many researchers believe is underreported and could be up to 476,000 new cases annually. The Working Group and its issuance of an annual report were both established by previous legislation authored by Smith that became law in 2016 as part of the 21st Century Cures Act. Smith’s amendment now moves to the Senate for consideration as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.
Trenton: These Are Who Should Get Booster Shot
TRENTON – The following is statement from New Jersey Department of Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli: The action by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides for the administration of booster doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at least six months after completion of the primary series to help increase protection for the following: people 65 years and older and residents in long-term
care settings should receive a booster shot; people age 50–64 years with underlying medical conditions should receive a booster shot; people age 18–49 years with underlying medical conditions may receive a booster shot, based on their individual benefits and risks, and people aged 18-64 years who are at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of oc-
cupational or institutional settings, including healthcare workers, may receive a booster shot, based on their individual benefits and risks. The New Jersey Department of Health is directing our vaccination partners in the state to begin administering booster doses to eligible individuals immediately. Individuals will self-identify according to the categories above and will not be required by vaccination providers to provide proof of
a medical condition or a note from a medical provider in order to receive a booster dose in New Jersey. There are over 1,600 vaccination sites across New Jersey – more than 1,000 of which offer the Pfizer vaccine – and the Department of Health continues to work to add additional sites. Many sites have walk-in availability and extended hours. To find a vaccination site and book an appointment online, visit
covid19.nj.gov/finder or call the state’s Vaccine Call Center at 1-855-568-0545. Our efforts also include homebound individuals. Individuals who received Pfizer can reach out directly to their local health department or complete the intake form available at covid19.nj.gov/ homeboundvax. For assistance completing the survey by phone, please contact the call center. People who received the
Teenage Lacey Ninja Warrior Honored By Town
By Bob Vosseller LACEY – Few towns have their own savage ninja warrior. Lacey does, though. Ava Colasanti competed in the game show American Ninja Warrior during this season and became a local hero. She was joined by her family during a Township Committee meeting where she accepted a proclamation from the mayor. She was wearing her trademark pink T-shirt which sported her Ninja Warrior slogan of “Savage” on it that she wore during her competition (You can’t spell “Savage” without “Ava”). Mayor Peter Curatolo said the township wanted to recognize the talent and hard work exemplified by Ava for her athletic
ability and determination. The teenager endured hours of training for a competition that involves an obstacle course and various surprises that must be overcome with speed, agility and intelligence. Ava spent a lot of time at a Toms River-based training facility called Base Camp, “where she excelled in competition for three years and then joined the National Ninja League where she continued to excel and qualify for the world championship in February 2019,” the mayor said. Ava continued to train five days a week at Base Camp and in her home garage that her father converted into a mini gym. She was also a member of the Lacey High School Track Team and in July 2019 she joined
a Ninja organization called Center Court Sports. She competed against adults and despite an injury and time off caused by the pandemic she was able to return to Center Court in September of 2020 and qualified for the National Ninja League and won five league championships. She joined a climbing gym in Brick Township last November and a month later submitted an application for American Ninja Warrior. “Her attitude, drive and determination and hard work earned her national and state wide recognition,” the mayor said. She competed in the TV show’s 13th season during the summer and the 16-year-old qualified to the final round in August of this year. The teen did
Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccine are not yet eligible for the booster shots authorized by the federal government. In a statement, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky said the CDC “will also evaluate with similar urgency available data in the coming weeks to swiftly make additional recommendations for other populations or people who got the Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccines.”
well but the mayor noted “she was knocked out by the jumping spider.” Ava said after she received the proclamation, “thank you this really means a lot. I’m training hard and hope to do even better next year.” Township Clerk/Business Administrator Veronica Laureigh asked what led her to become involved in the Ninja competition. Ava replied that she watched the show when she was younger. “I told myself my first day of base camp that I wanted to compete there so I trained super hard. It was awesome.” The teen said that the cameras at the competition “definitely changed the dynamic.” “We are all very proud of you,” the mayor said.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Featured Letter Don’t Force Towns To Build ‘Affordable Housing’ It is with a wealth of history within the Garden State that I have very strong opinions on “Affordable Housing” within the most densely populated State in the Union. History that affords perspective both in the demographics and political events that created the housing shortage. It’s no surprise a myopic judge once again issues a mandate in an area where economic and engineering experience are needed. Potable water is the number one concern in the Garden State, yet it receives NO PRESS. Infrastructure within the State left to deteriorate while highly educated and indebted people languish doing menial low pay jobs is evidence of the poor governmental husbandry of our political elites. These political hacks are happy to spend other peoples’ money in their re-election bids. It seems to be all the Garden State is producing nowadays, election sound bites. Fact is that the cities need investment and rehabilitation and that is the smart way to provide the jobs that must be before any affordable housing. Fact is our political hacks play a shell game of re-distributing
the poor, who haven’t the income to afford housing and its upkeep, or to pay the taxes imposed on property owners passed through to renters. Developing already scarce land and spending on new civic projects to provide more water and sewage services without improving the income prospects of them imposed with the taxes to pay for them is ludicrous. Before any town accepts State mandates, the State should provide all the funds the health, education, and well being of them it wishes to impose on already over taxed citizens. I am aware my views are unpopular because there isn’t much graft or political bombastic glory in setting the record straight. However, before mandating housing NJ must first overhaul its educational funding for mula, redo the tax code so businesses that pay menial wages aren’t leaving taxpayers with the social costs like affordable housing, health education and welfare of thei r workers, and developers must compensate residents for the added burdens of civic improvements.

Letters To The Editor The Truth Behind Critical Race Theory The writer of a letter to the editor (Sept 18th 2021) is misinformed regarding the nature of Critical Race Theory. It does not assess blame or characterize all white people as oppressors. It is, very simply, an historical analysis that points out the enduring pervasiveness of racism in American society and institutions, a condition formed by centuries of racially based African slavery. Racism was enshrined in the US Constitution’s Three Fifths Clause, reflecting the existence of slavery from the earliest colonial period. Even after the abolition of slavery in 1864, enforced legal disabilities were imposed on people of African descent until relatively recently. I’m old enough to have seen white only drinking fountains, rest rooms, and restaurants, and I remember vividly a bus trip to Florida when I was a teenager which halted in Virginia so that Black people could be required to sit in the back of the bus for the balance of the trip. Even here in NJ I remember seeing ‘apartments for rent’ columns in the state’s largest newspaper being divided, with a separate listing headed “Colored.” It was not that long ago, and this history and its enormous defining impact must be acknowledged and studied. It affects our society in a profound way, and has deeply affected our political and social structures. We have made great strides
as a society while seeking racial justice, but much more needs to be done. Ignoring our history, whether out of malice or ignorance, retards our progress toward a more perfect democracy. William Faulkner observed that “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” Critical Race Theory merely recognizes this reality. John Marcinski Barnegat
Wake Up America In response to the letter on “the check his watch” in the 9/18/21 issue of Manchester Times, the author only criticizes all who complained about Biden’s behavior, instead of offering plausible excuses for looking at his watch three times, at the funeral of 13 American soldiers. There is one excuse which could expose Biden’s cognitive impairment, but he should have disciplined himself on the 3rd time to avoid looking at his watch. The author compliments Biden on doing a good job. It isn’t a good job to entice migrants to flood our border, some 15,000 in the last two weeks, and shove them under the bridge in Del Rio, Texas for cover. Does this qualify to the “Lady in the Harbor” asking for your huddled masses? Enticing ONE MILLION migrants to flood our Southern Border in six months is cruel and inhuman to these unsuspecting people. It is also cruel and inhuman to leave Americans behind enemy lines in Afghanistan with

no plan to rescue them. It is OK to support your party, but call them out on their er rors. You raised your kids by calling them out on wrong behavior, even though you loved them. Wake up America! Madam Pelosi just recently accused Republicans of being “anti-governance.” Well, just like the electric media is guilty of abusing, mis-using and even bastardizing the spoken word, so too are the radical politicians in both parties guilty of abusing, mis-using and bastardizing your American tax dollars with obscene trillion-dollar spending bills. Are you aware 64 million in American tax dollars was recently given to the Taliban, with more to follow? Wake up America! If putting a cognitively-impaired man in the White House is good, then there is one cry: “Oh, Houston, we have a problem,” to quote the Captain of Apollo 13, as his spacecraft was in crash mode. I repeat: Wake up America!
Now, look what’s happened: cars clogging every highway. It takes you half an hour to go one town over. You can’t find any open space. When I was a kid, we used to play in the woods. Where’s all the woods? Now they want to build a 10-story tower downtown and put up hundreds of apartments near the mall. Who’s paying for those kids to go to school? Oh yeah, you and me. And then when people complain, they say “Oh, no, it’s not us! It’s the state’s fault!” Or they’ll say “But we have to build up downtown!” My whole life, people have been complaining that there’s too much development. But then they keep voting in the same people! It’s been said that the definition of crazy is to do the same thing over and over and expect different results. The Republicans in charge are going to just keep letting their rich friends build whatever they want and we have to pay for it.

Vote GOP If You Want More Development It’s amazing how the GOP keep building in Toms River. They’ve been in charge of the town council for decades (at least) and the planning board which has the final say in what gets built. One councilman is a builder – Lotano Properties. They built that ridiculous apartment complex downtown right next to South so that there are more kids going to school and our school taxes will go up. A past councilman, Wittmann, was co-owner of construction projects all over town.

What Happened To The Dress Code?
Dear Joel, I can’t believe how people dress! People used to go out shopping dressed very casually, but it seems like since the quarantine, things have only gotten worse. I see people going out in the most offensive outfits. Do you think things will ever return to civility? Answer: It sure does seem that lazy/casual has become the new dress code. I can only hope that as more people start returning to in-person work and back to school, they will perk up their wardrobes as well.

I also think that some out f it s lack so much modesty. Everyone should forget the Zoom call screens where you only see your face and buy a full-length mirror. Thanks for writing, Joel

Parkgoers Stuck On Ride At Six Flags
By Alyssa Riccardi JACKSON – Over the weekend, guests were stuck on the Nitro rollercoaster at Six Flags after the ride stopped. Around 3 p.m. Saturday, guests were evacuated off the ride when it did not complete its full cycle due to its safety sensors. Kristin Fitzgerald, a spokesperson for Six Flags Great Adventure, explained how their rides contain multiple safety sensors and when the coaster detects something, it will automatically stop moving. “Roller coasters are highly complex machines with redundant safely systems. They are divided into sections, and each section contains a place that a train can safely stop and allow guests to easily exit the train… Roller coasters contain a multitude of safety sensors that monitor all aspects of operation while the ride is in motion,” Fitzgerald said. “Just like your car, a roller coaster can produce a warning light to indicate something is out of the ordinary. When this happens, the ride’s
computer stops the ride. But unlike your car, a roller coaster will not move when a warning is indicated. It requires a trained maintenance expert to investigate the warning before restarting the ride.” “In most cases, the warnings are explored and cleared quickly, and the trains restart from their safe locations to complete the ride. Other times, it requires an extended period of time to clear the warning, and for the comfort of the guests, ride operators unload them while this work is performed,” Fitzgerald continued. All guests that were on Nitro were escorted off the ride safely and the coaster was back up and reopened for guests shortly later in the day. “The safety of our guests is our top priority,” Fitzgerald said. “All of our major thrill rides have signs to help our guests understand the role that safety sensors play in ride stoppages and unloads. Ride stops are an indication that the ride’s safety systems are working as designed.”

Inside The Law Title Insurance: Why Every Purchaser Needs It
Marc S. Galella Esq.
By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. Many people ask their attorneys, “what is a title search and why do I need title insurance?” Next to having the appropriate funding to purchase your new home, ensuring that the home you intend to purchase has clean or clear title is essential. All mortgage companies require clear title. It is important to ensure that you have title insurance in the event a title issue arises after you have purchased the home. Title searchers review old deeds, mortgages and wills at the County Clerk’s office to trace the ownership history of the property. They look for any current or past mortgages, liens or judgments on the property that have not been discharged as well as whether there are any tax liens or unpaid municipal utility bills. The title searchers will also examine the chain of title to confirm that the seller’s ownership rights have not been affected and that the sellers are, in fact, selling you a home without any adverse possessory or equitable interests such as pending litigation or easements. These examples are endless, but the title company performing the search has the expertise to find all relevant concerns prior to the purchase. Once the title company completes its search it will issue an insurance policy after closing which will insure you and your lender should anyone at any time in the future come knocking on your door claiming an ownership or possessory interest in your property. Should this occur, the title company will step- in and provide you with a legal defense and assume the costs of any litigation. This coverage is similar to automobile insurance after you have become involved in an automobile collision. After an automobile collision, your automobile insurer will provide
you with legal assistance and take corrective measures in the event you are sued. Fortunately, unlike automobile insurance where you pay your premium annually, monthly or quarterly, your title insurance premium is paid only once at the time of closing and this one-time premium will provide insurance coverage for as long as you own the home. It is also important to note that if you have a mortgage you need to obtain both a Lender’s and Owner’s policy. The Lender’s policy covers the mount of the mortgage that is due at the time any claim is made. An Owner’s policy covers your ownership interest, which is a relatively inexpensive addition to the policy premium. In New Jersey, title insurance is usually paid by the buyer. After closing the buyer’s attorney may need to perform additional legal tasks to complete the conditions of the title policy such as filing additional deeds and discharge of mortgages. The purchaser will receive the final title policy in the mail approximately 6-8 weeks after closing. While all of this may be overwhelming, we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full-service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Wills and Trusts, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate, Medicaid, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning, Powers of Attorney and much more.

4-H Kick Offs Paper Clover Campaign
OCEAN COUNTY – Every year, 4-H members in Ocean County participate in a variety of 4-H educational activities to help position them with the skills they need to succeed in their life and career. This fall, Tractor Supply Company (TSC) stores located in Ocean County and throughout New Jersey are continuing their long-standing partnership with 4-H for the 2021 Fall 4-H Paper Clover Campaign to make it possible for more youth in the county to experience 4-H programming opportunities. October 6 to 17, Tractor Supply customers can participate in the 4-H Paper Clover Campaign by purchasing paper clovers for $1 or more at the checkout while in a store. The funds raised from the Tractor Supply 4-H Paper Clover Campaign will be used to provide scholarships for Ocean County 4-H members to participate in national 4-H leadership experiences or state camp programs says Amelia Valente, Ocean County 4-H Program Associate. The number of scholarships available following the Fall 2021 event will be determined based on the total amount raised. Since it began in 2010, the partnership
between Tractor Supply and 4-H has generated more than 13 million in support across the nation. The fundraising effort provides support for youth to participate in 4-H opportunities and experiences at the county, state, and national level. The 4-H Youth Development Program is part of Rutgers Cooperative Extension, a unit of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. 4-H educational programs are offered to all youth, grades K-13 (one year out of high school), on an age-appropriate basis, without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, disability, atypical hereditary cellular or blood trait, marital status, domestic partnership status, military service, veteran status, and any other category protected by law.

Around The Jersey Shore Suicide Prevention Month: “Be The One To Help Save A Life”
By Alyssa Riccardi TOMS RIVER – September is Suicide Prevention Month and this year, the theme is “Be the One to Help Save a Life.” The Ocean County Health Department wants everyone to help spread awareness and promote prevention groups and more. Over the past year, the COVID-19 crisis has impacted us all in so many ways and one of the biggest concerns has been the effect on people’s mental health. Many public health officials have seen a rise in the number of people experiencing anxiety, depression, psychosis, loneliness and other mental health concerns which can lead to thoughts of suicide. About 60 percent of people that died by suicide have had a mood disorder and depression. The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) states that in 2019, Ocean County ranked second in New Jersey for suicide death (64 suicide deaths) and was the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. “Many of the warning signs of suicidal feelings are also signs of depression,” Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator/Health Officer, said. “Depression can cause someone to feel worthless, hopeless and a burden on others. Those feelings may only be exacerbated by some of the stresses brought about by dealing with the last 18 months or so of the pandemic.” “There have been so many stressful decisions, risks and predicaments people have had to manage on a daily basis that it can just wear you down,” Kimberly Reilly, OCHD Alcohol and Drug Abuse Unit Coordinator, said. “Whether it’s someone depressed about finances; or a person with disabilities that feels anxious over being a burden to others; a struggling student trying to cope with the changes and challenges of school; losing or caring for a loved due to COVID; and other distress related to the pandemic.” Warning Signs of Suicide: • Talking about wanting to die • Showing rage or speaking of revenge • Displaying extreme mood swings • Looking for a way to kill oneself • Talking about feeling hopeless or having
no purpose • Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain • Talking about being a burden to others • Increasing the use of alcohol or drugs • anxious, agitated, or recklessly • Acting • Sleeping too little or too much • Withdrawing or feeling isolated What to Do: • Do not leave the person alone • Remove any firearms, alcohol, drugs, or sharp objects that could be used in a suicide attempt • Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) • Take the person to an emergency room, or seek help from a medical or mental health professional During Suicide Prevention Month, everyone working to change the conversation from suicide to suicide prevention, to actions that can promote healing, help and give hope. “We’ve all been through so much during the pandemic but each of us handle the stress, pressure, depression and the many mixes of emotions uniquely in our own way. If you feel overwhelmed by these feeling, or may recognize them in others, don’t hesitate, and find help. It’s ok to share these feelings with the people that love and care for you. And most importantly, share them with a mental health care professional,” Reilly said. For more information, visit the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at suicidepreventionlifeline.org or call or text the following: National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255) Crisis Text Line: Text “NJ” to 741741 Family Helpline: 1-800-843-5437 Mental Health Hotline: 866-202-4357 Veteran’s Crisis Hotline: 1-800-273-8255 Press 1 For additional information regarding National Suicide Prevention Month, mental health or the Ocean County Health Department visit ochd.org.

Continued From Page 1 the tower during the event. Even Santa Claus stopped by for an early visit to Ocean County to add to the fun. Gotts worked from that location updating the public and asking for donations to reach its goal. The annual event has raised more than $2 million since it began in 1998. Chase said Gotts was the perfect person to take on the mantle of the Billboard dweller up high saying, “he’s crazy but the most important thing is that he has a heart of gold.” WRAT Program Director and Operations Manager Carl Craft said the station’s coming aboard to support Ocean of Love was an easy yes. “It wasn’t an ‘if’ it was a ‘when and how.’ “Being part of this incredible event is truly a special moment for us. I’m part of the unfortunate people who have been directly affected by cancer,” Craft added. Gotts told Jersey Shore Online.com during a break on his third day on the scaffold that “the hours up here don’t even matter. I’m counting the money. I’m counting donations. This is my first year doing this and kudos to Andy Chase. If it wasn’t for him, I’d be lost right now as far as to where we were last year and what he accomplished by the time I got here.” “As long as we reach the $109,000 goal, I’m a happy guy. I’ll sit up there (another)
The Jackson Times, October 2, 2021, Page 15 109 hours if I have to,” Gotts said. When asked how well he can sleep up in the tower during the evening with the occasional car passing by, he said, “if you think an alarm clock is annoying you should hear the trucks going by at like 3 a.m. They are screaming.” Gotts added, “Andy Chase has a great saying if you beep don’t be cheap. Andy and I go back and forth with the slogans. Mine is ‘what’s the best station...donation!’” He noted the “sad side to this is that cancer is still with us. We hear the stories about how it effects the kids and they are the ones who are the real heroes who go through the battle like cancer. It really affects the families and how they get back and forth to the doctors and Sloan Kettering.” He commended Ocean of Love “for keeping these kids happy. Theresa (Segul) is heaven. We didn’t know where to start but they know how to keep the kids staying positive knowing they have this horrible disease. She does it. She’s a saint and so is Andy Chase. Everyone who works as part of Ocean of Love are great and this is how the whole community comes together.” “People are meeting new friends now, talking with each other and we are getting these donations for families here in Ocean County. It stays right here. It is all for a great cause. The kids are dealing with cancer so the least I can do is deal with the rain and weather and not sleeping.”

Knowing some of the signs of hearing loss — loud TV volumes, trouble talking on the phone, frequent requests to repeat words, increased social isolation — can be the start of a life-changing conversation. SHARE YOUR STORY Research indicates hearing aid wearers, on average, waited over a decade after a hearing loss diagnosis before getting their hearing technology. That’s a lot of time potentially missing out on the sounds of life — not to mention the physical, mental, social, and even financial consequences tied to untreated hearing loss. Sharing your better-hearing journey may inspire your loved one to kick-start their own. LEND AN EAR Seeking hearing help
may be a lot easier with the support of family and friends. If your loved one is thinking about taking the path to better hearing, it can make a big difference when you: • Offer emotional support, patience, and encouragement • Serve as a sounding board for their hearing-health goals • Help them take note of their most challenging listening situations FLEX YOUR SKILLS Whether streaming from audio devices, connecting to hearing loops, interfacing with smarthome technology, or tracking brain health, today’s modern hearing devices are chock-full of beneficial functions. We love helping patients get the most from their hearing aids, but imparting your own tips, tricks, and favorite apps goes a long way too. Share your discoveries with a fun “tutorial.” Do your New Year’s goals include better hearing? Whether your loved one needs a hearing evaluation or it’s been a while since your own checkup, our caring team can help. So, don’t wait. Call today to schedule your appointment.

Alternatives For Smoking Cessation And Lung Health By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
If you use the medication called Chantix, you need to stop according to the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA). This medication has just been officially recalled by Pfizer, in all lot numbers, sizes and dosages. It goes by the chemical name varenicline. The medication was FDA-approved for the masses in May 2006 because studies proved it worked better at placebo to get people off tobacco. The studies showed that 3 months over 40 percent of people using Chantix were able to quit smoking. But that doesn’t matter anymore because the medication was found to be tainted with a cancer-causing chemical called nitrosamine. For clarity I want to be sure you know that Zyban, a different drug altogether is not impacted by this recall. It is also used for smoking cessation and may serve as an alternative for some of you. Here is a link to the official ANNOUNCEMENT about Chantix. Since 2006 when the FDA approved it, millions of men and women took Chantix (varenicline) tablets to help them with their nicotine addiction. The reasons vary for why a person would want to quit smoking but for sure, smoking leads to disease and disability, as well as faster signs of skin aging due to the free radical damage done to the skin. Everyone knows that it can increase one’s risk for emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung cancer. So to have a medication that helps such as Chantix was something that everyone welcomed.
It is ironic that those who feared lung cancer induced by smoking - who took Chantix to stop - now have to face the fact that they were likely exposed to the cancer-causing nitrosamine found in the drug itself! According to the FDA official statement from their website: “Long-term ingestion of N-nitroso-varenicline may be associated with a theoretical potential increased cancer risk in humans, but there is no immediate risk to patients taking this medication. The health benefits of stopping smoking outweigh the theoretical potential cancer risk from the nitrosamine impurity in varenicline. Nitrosamines are common in water and foods, including cured and grilled meats, dairy products and vegetables. Everyone is exposed to some level of nitrosamines. These impurities may increase the risk of cancer if people are exposed to them above acceptable levels over long periods of time.” If you took Chantix, I would not think you are in any immediate danger, so try not to worry yourself, but do take action to improve your lifestyle and increase antioxidants in your body. It would be great if you could have basic blood work drawn to make sure you’re healthy and strong. If you smoke (or if you took Chantix) I highly recommend Vitamin C and Catalase as two antioxidants to fight oxidative damage in the body. These are very strong antioxidants that work all over to do good housekeeping on your cells. If you’d like to read the extended version of this article, I have it posted at my website suzycohen.com.

Around The Jersey Shore Cybersafe Cybersecurity Camp A Success TOMS RIVER – Ocean County College held two inaugural sessions of its CyberSafe Cybersecurity Camp in late August, with great success. A group of 24 students from Brick Memorial High School traveled to campus for a morning workshop, held in-person, while a afternoon session was conducted virtually for 20 other Ocean County middle and high school students who registered individually. “The purpose of the camp,” said OCC Computer Science Lecturer Jonathan Weiss, “was to
expose the students to cybersecurity principles, disciplines, tools, and job opportunities. It emphasized discussion of security concepts, followed by hands-on exercises and training in the use of industry standard tools. “The morning students were provided specially constructed laptops, which ran the software necessary for them to follow along with the various exercises and activities,” Weiss added. “The afternoon students were given instructions on how to load the necessary software on their
own laptops.” The first day of the camp, Weiss explained, the students introduced themselves, learned the ethical considerations and responsibilities associated with cybersecurity and its toolsets, and received a tour of the provided cybersecurity workstation environment. On day two, campers learned about online safety, and how to protect their personal devices and cell phones. They were then taught how to administer user accounts and security permissions across both Windows and Linux computers. The following day of the camp was devoted to codes and cryptography. The campers “were broken into teams and given the information necessary to crack three simple ciphers,” Weiss stated. “They also ran software used by security professionals and ethical hackers to break bad passwords using a dictionary of commonly used words. Finally, they heard stories about the Enigma Machine, Hedy Lamarr, and Navajo Code Talkers.” On day four, the students learned about how firewalls work to secure networks, and configured a firewall rule to block their access to Google. They learned how to scan a network to find vulnerable services, and finished the day drawing a secure network. And, on the final day, said Weiss, “campers saw a video from Representative Andy Kim introducing the Congressional Application Challenge and were given tips on developing a winning computer application. They then got to look at bad programming practices that lead to security vulnerabilities, and they figured out how to make bad programs break. The camp concluded with a discussion of cybersecurity careers and the curriculum options at OCC that support them.” Via anonymous exit questionnaires, many
campers stated that they found the camp very useful and educational, and several plan to learn more about cybersecurity and the Congressional Application Challenge sponsored by Representative Kim’s office and the College. Student responses to the camp were, in fact, unanimously positive. “I enjoyed getting to use Linux, Kali, and MetaSploitable,” said one student. “It was an eye-opening experience and really enjoyable. I really don’t have any complaints. Everything made sense and had made me consider a cybersecurity job. You guys did a great job!” “I liked the hands-on coding and learning how to hack and administer things,” another remarked. One camper wrote: “Things I liked: (1) learning some code, (2) technology careers explanation, (3) learning how to make a secure network, (4) learning how to communicate with my peers. Conclusion: very fun camp. I enjoyed it a lot.” Another stated: “I thought this week of cybersecurity camp was very informative. Coming into this week, I wasn’t certain what to expect or if I would like it. By the end of the week, I really enjoyed it, and I learned a lot more about the importance of cybersecurity. What I liked most about this cybersecurity camp was the coding. I liked learning more new commands. Although cybersecurity may not be the path I want to take in my life, I learned a lot about cybersecurity that can help further my education. I will continue learning more about cybersecurity, and the field of technology. I think that OCC should continue offering camps for students who are seeking more knowledge about cybersecurity.” Ocean County College hopes to make the Cybersecurity Camp a summer tradition to attract promising high school students to this exciting and growing field!

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of OCT 2 - OCT 8 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may not be daunted by dares and demands. Someone might push your buttons just to get a reaction. A competitive situation could cause a misunderstanding in the week to come. Keeping your promises can avoid a rift. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Giving in to a desire for adventure might prove costly as the week unfolds. Focus on your job and constructive activities. Find solutions that can make everyone a winner and give a hand to a friend in need. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): What you think is a challenge might just be someone showing off and shouldn’t require a response. Someone may offer you an opportunity to learn something useful in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may be content to work side by side with loved ones. In the week ahead, your home and family could be the center of your attention. You’re probably energized when your money, possessions or investments are the subject. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your leadership abilities could peak in the week ahead. You might decide to end or change an existing financial arrangement. Sound business sense rather than emotions should be your guide when making key decisions. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make a plan and execute it. Your attention may be riveted on making a profit by listening to someone with imaginative ideas. Combine sound strategies with hard work to improve your finances in the upcoming week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This week there is a potential turning point that will affect key relationships. Keep an eye out for helpful changes and avoid confiding in people who might betray your trust. Maintain an objective, less emotional attitude. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): As you anticipate a change that looms on the horizon, you may question what you truly desire. A partner could show off his or her independent spirit and set a good example. Don’t spend more than you earn in the week ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Tune up the instrument before playing a song. Frame your ideas in acceptable terms in the week to come. Describing your inner fantasies may strike a sour note with someone who’s only interested in material success. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your life is like a book, and this week’s chapter could be devoted to adhering to a tight schedule. Your time may be limited, so organize each day to leave adequate time for hobbies or creative endeavors. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Let your ambitions be your guide. Concentrating on practice and repetition is the way to build mastery in any skill. This might not be a good week to take a chance on new investments, although you may see an avenue of advantage. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Cultivate your hidden talents in the week ahead. Perfect harmony is fleeting, so don’t be disappointed if you experience a glitch. Be as polite as possible even if you suspect someone is up to no good.
