Man Allegedly Entered School To Th reaten Student

By Stephanie Faughnan STAFFORD – A Manchester man - the father of two Southern Regional High School students - entered the school last month without authorization and faces criminal prosecution on multiple charges in Ocean County Superior Court.

According to records obtained from the Stafford Police Department, the 49-year-old Manchester resident with the initials “J.T.” allegedly walked into the school cafeteria during lunchtime on February 15, 2022 and confronted a male student.

By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – Around 30 people, many of whom were owners or operators of local restaurants, recent-

ly gathered at Capone’s in Toms River to discuss their strategy in aiding needy military families at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

Cliff Baker of Toms River is the president of the new organization called Dine On Us and its motto is “Feeding the Need.” His wife Te-

Lacey Board Discusses Authority Of Board President

By Bob Vosseller LACEY – Who can assign Board of Education members to committees?

That’s the question that was explained during a recent meeting.

Board members are assigned committees where a few of them meet to handle issues and then present those issues to the rest of the board.

This became an issue when Salvatore

Armato took office in January. Armato questioned who had the authority to assign a board member to a committee.

He had not been assigned to any board committees by Board President Frank Palino.

Palino explained his reasoning for that, saying it was due to Armato’s refusal to wear a COVID-19 protective mask in school buildings where committee

meetings would be held.

It is unclear whether Armato has been assigned a committee now that Governor Phil Murphy’s executive order mandating masks be worn by students, staff and visitors inside school buildings was lifted as of March 7. The prior mandate included masking up during Board of Education meetings and that became a (Board - See Page 4)

By Stephanie A. Faughnan TOMS RIVER - Christopher Gregor, the man charged with murdering his six-year-old son, Corey Micciolo, in Barnegat, was denied bail last week.

Both the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office and Gregor’s defense counsel, Mario Gallucci, appeared remotely before Judge Michael Collins in Ocean County Superior Court.

Due to continuing COVID-19 restrictions, Gregor listened to the detention hearing from the Ocean County Jail. After the court acknowledged Gregor’s presence, his image was reduced to a small square on the screen for the balance of the proceedings.

Corey’s mother and grandmother, Breanna and Rebecca Micciolo, sat in the front row of the courtroom with family and victim’s advocates offering them support. The two had hoped to get an in-person view of the man they believe took their loved one’s life.

“I wanted to see Chris as afraid as he made Corey,” said Breanna before the hearing. “The Prosecutor’s office told me Corey had two lacerations to his heart. My son died of a broken heart.”

Families:

Continued From Page 1 families who qualify on Fort Dix and Lakehurst that are on food stamps. The American Legion brings them canned food every week. We want to do more than canned food,” Baker added.

The group’s goal is to raise $1,000 per family through donations, fundraising events and various ongoing programs. The 501(c)3 non-profit also wants to provide gift cards to families with the message of “Dine On Us from our table to yours, thank you for your service” printed on the card, Baker said.

The gift cards would be used at multiple venues of partner agencies.

“Our mission is to get 125 of these for April. We would take it to the commander of the Fort Dix base and make sure each family gets one of these gift cards,” Baker added. “We want to offer them a night out to get off the base as a thank you for their service with the idea that we have your family’s back while you are out protecting ours. We want to take care of our active military families.”

It was noted by attendees that with the summer season approaching, other revenue generating opportunities and venues would open up for fundraising efforts. One location mentioned was the boardwalk of Seaside Heights.

Partner businesses such as Bum Rogers in Seaside Park, Hanger 21 in Lakehurst, Capone’s in Toms River, Spicy’s in Seaside Heights, Four Seasons Diner and Burger 25 in Toms River and others present committed to the organization’s mission.

Baker was more than pleased with the turnout of the meeting. He was surrounded by family members, close friends and many who worked with him before with his prior

Board:

Continued From Page 1 contentious issue among Board members, the public and school administrators.

“It was agreed that it is the sole responsibility of the Board President to decide who would be on each committee and who would serve as an alternate and this also aligns with the NJSBA,” board member Kim Klaus said.

She summed up a recent meeting of the Board’s policy committee. They once again reviewed the duties of the president and vice president of the board. “The policy committee has been working on this since June.”

“The goal was not only to improve this policy but to be more in line with the New Jersey School Board Association. We compared the edition we had with another school district’s policy to see if we were on the same line, which we were,” Klaus added.

Furthermore, while looking over the policy, there was a discussion of whether language governing ethics should be included.

The language was “to model a high standard

non-profit organization and who pledged to support his efforts with the new group and its mission. “We love to brainstorm and get everyone’s opinion and ideas. We love going back and forth so throw your ideas at us.”

Baker and many others who are serving in key roles within the new group have served in the military. He noted that the new logo that was designed for the group helped to “bring us all back together again. It brought us back as family. This feels warm. It feels good and it just feels right.”

Fundraising and other organization division leaders were named during the meeting. The group is also looking to partner up with a job fair event.

Baker stressed that “we have set a goal of creating three separate occasions for our 125 active military families who are living at a poverty level and on government assistance programs like food stamps with $300 worth of gift cards each time. After our initial delivery of our gift cards at the end of April, we will immediately start collecting for our second phase - A Night on the Boardwalk. These gift cards will focus on beach and Boardwalk related activities.”

“Then we will collect for to create a wonderful Christmas and wish list toys for all the active military children,” he added.

The Board of Directors includes Chrissy Piga, Rick Papsin, Steve Vetter, Manchester Councilwoman Michele Zolezi and Mike Ferraro among others. The gathering served not only as a planning session but an opportunity for introductions, brainstorming and networking.

Those seeking information on how to be a part of Dine On Us, its upcoming fundraising events, or how to make a contribution toward its efforts can visit the organization’s website at dineonus.org or e-mail Baker at cliff@dineonus.org.

of ethical conduct and confidentiality.”

Board member Linda Downing questioned the policy regarding the president and vice president saying, “I didn’t think we were going to keep that since we felt it wasn’t part of policy, it was more of a, how would you word it, someone’s personality or ability - but not a policy. I thought we were going to get rid of that.”

“Code of ethics, Mrs. Downing?” Board member Donna McAvoy interjected.

“Yes, that would be more of an ethics thing than of policy,” Downing agreed.

“So can we remove that and vote on the rest tonight or does it have to be redone?”

Klaus asked.

Klaus was told it could be either pushed to another meeting or made with a correction.

“That is more of an ethical issue,” Downing repeated, noting it was how one behaved as a board president or their actions. She called for that item’s removal from the proposed policy vote.

It was ultimately agreed that portion of the policy would be removed from that portion of the resolution voted on. The remainder of the policy update was approved by a vote of the Board.

Threaten:

Continued From Page 1 has been withheld at the request of his mother, said he felt scared when the 6’2, 230-pound man approached him and started to yell at him.

“He was a grown man in my face,” said the boy. “I thought he was going to hit me.”

According to the high school junior, he was at lunch when two sisters came up to him and tried to get him to go outside.

As he rejected the girls’ request, the student watched as one of the sisters picked up her cellphone to talk to someone. Soon thereafter, J.T. was in front of the boy and threatened him.

“During lunch, the girls were sitting directly across from me,” the male student said.

“There were a couple of tables between us.

I was probably just holding my phone and texting or something. I later heard the girls tell their father I was recording them.”

By the time the boy spoke with authorities, a school security guard had already escorted the irate father off campus.

“I wasn’t taking any kind of videos, and told the school they could check my phone,” continued the male student. “I had nothing to hide and that’s when the school called the dad who had already driven away.”

Patrolman John Reed documented his arrival at the high school approximately 35 minutes after the incident began. By that time, a school security guard had already escorted J.T. outside. The man left the school before Stafford Police came to the scene.

The Southern Ocean Times, March 26, 2022, Page 5 According to the police record: Reed met with Assistant Principal Joseph DiPietro and the student who J.T. confronted during his lunchbreak. While the 16-year-old could not remember everything said to him, the police report summed up his recollection.

While yelling at him, J.T. told the boy to come outside and stated that he should watch out for two individuals, whose names are redacted in the incident report. J.T. also told the student that he knew where he lived.

The Stafford patrol officer next spoke with Lydia Todd, a school security guard who witnessed the altercation. She confirmed J.T. made an unauthorized appearance in the cafeteria and used profanity in screaming at the student.

According to the security officer, the dad accused the student of recording his daughter and believed the two talked about fighting. The boy replied that if J.T. wanted someone to fight, he could get his dad.

When Todd directed J.T. to leave the premises, he ignored her. Todd summoned Michael Olsen, another school security guard, who ultimately spoke to the Manchester man and removed him from school property.

“I actually saw the police officer shake the father’s hand as he let him leave,” said the male student.

Stafford Police Captain James Vaughn clarified that it was the security guard who actually escorted J.T. from the school and not anyone from the local law enforcement agency.

“Obviously, it was a very traumatic inci-

dent, and the boy was upset,” said Vaughn.

“Based on the report I have from our responding officers, it was more than likely one of the security officers and not one of our police officers.”

“There was no wrongdoing by this juvenile the guy was yelling at,” Vaughn confirmed.

Police reviewed cellphone footage provided by one of the students, which contains no audio. J.T. appeared agitated and in the high school junior’s personal space. As the student backed away, the enraged dad walked away. J.T. then pointed at the boy and makes an unknown statement.

Reed contacted the father to speak with him about the incident and requested that he come to police headquarters. During the initial conversation, J.T. cursed at the officer and hung up on him.

A warrant was issued for J.T.’s arrest, and he turned himself in the next evening.

Stafford Police arrested and transported the father to the Ocean County Jail within an hour. J.T. faces charges for criminal trespass, harassment, and a local ordinance citing improper behavior.

The male student’s mother said the school failed in a few regards. In the first place, she feels the district should have better safeguards in place to prevent unauthorized entry into the premises. The mom also said the security guards should not have allowed the father to leave.

It remains unclear why Stafford Police were not summoned to the scene earlier or why other parents did not receive notification of the intrusion.

According to the mother her first notifica-

tion of the incident came from her daughter, a senior at Southern Regional. The daughter called her frantically to tell her what had just transpired - even before the school alerted the mother.

“My sister walked in after the fact, and I told her before I went back to class,” the male student explained as far as his reason for not reaching out sooner. “I wasn’t about to text my mom and get her all upset. I figured I’d tell her in person.”

As soon as she heard from her daughter, the mother telephoned the school to find out how someone got into the building to confront her child. She was informed that the principal was attempting to get the details.

The mother said she made sure Stafford Police had someone at the school. To the best of her knowledge, the father was not in custody, and she worried he would return.

The mom left her job in Eatontown to speak with school officials in person.

“I think Stafford Police were only there because I called the school and told them I was on my way,” said the mother. “The school should have been on lockdown.”

The boy’s mom became further outraged when she learned J.T. would only be initially charged with trespassing even though he was “basically coming to get her son.”

According to the mother, local authorities told her J.T. could not be charged with making threats because her son didn’t recall his exact words. The distraught mom contends the boy was in shock, although another student allegedly told school administrators J.T. said he was going to “f” up the high

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Everyone’s An Expert I h a ve t o a d m i t I have the most brilliant friends.

I open up Facebook, and it’s a treasure trove of knowledge. My friends are experts on COVID, race relations, geopolitical disputes and more.

All that genius is right at my fingertips! I’m so blessed.

In fact, some of them excel in many f ields.

They already knew everything there is to know about vaccines, and this month, they know ever ything there is to know about the Ukraine.

Their cognitive capacity knows no bounds!

They are truly savants, in that they don’t even have to work in their field to be experts. They ca n k now ever y th i ng there is to know about censorship, fossil fuels AND the voting rights m ove m e nt s i n G e o rgia. Meanwhile, they are spending 40 hours a week at a job that has nothing to do with any of that. Plus commute.

Plus watching TV shows that they constantly post about.

How, I wonder, do they find the time to learn so much? How did they memor ize the Bill of Rights and the associated legal precedents?

When did they interview

all the pertinent voices to understand the many nuances of gender roles in modern society? Did they have their scientific research peer reviewed like other scientists?

That’s truly amazing, because usu ally all I have time for is a meme or a short video where someone blabbers one side of an argument for a few seconds. But, I never feel like I have the full information to really understand a topic from something as obviously biased as that. Even when I watch the news, I’m often only hearing one side, so where do they get all the different sides of a story?

Personally, I always thought that to be an expert, you have to study a field for a number of years. Not only that, but you really have to live and breathe it. You can’t just read about science, for example, you have to do science to really understand it. I never thought that just being alive and being somewhat interested in a topic made me an expert on anything.

But I guess I’m not an expert on how to be an expert.

Letters To The Editor Representative Democracy Wins Over OC Democratic Boss Sunday, March 13 was the Ocean County Democratic Committee Meeting and the annual Mini-Convention to nominate County and Congressional candidates to appear on the PARTY “line” for the Primary ballot in June, and it was quite an example of the PEOPLE demanding democracy.

The Democratic leadership sent out notice of the meeting and most Committee members received a postcard less than a week before the meeting. Also contained in this notice was an amendment to be voted on at this meeting. This amendment was to allow Vote by Mail (VBM) to be used for the election of the Democratic leadership, currently led by one of New Jersey’s infamous “bosses.”

After reading the amendment, it seems like déjà vu going back 12 years when Wyatt Earp did the same thing with extending the term of County Committee members and leadership from 2 years to 4 years. He sent short notice out about the meeting, including the fact that we would be voting on this amendment at the meeting/mini-convention. It’s very sad that he didn’t learn from that past experience where he failed to give members enough time to understand and digest all the implications of pushing through and fast tracking such an important amendment.

This current VBM amendment has so many loopholes and dangerous precedents that utilizing this voting method for a “Party” election – being controlled by the current leadership from the creation of the ballot to the counting and announcing the results - opens up so many opportunities for fraud and deception. It’s like putting the fox in the

hen house.

I am very concerned by the rushing through the voting of this amendment, just as they did in 2010 with the extension of the terms for Cou nt y Com m it tee members and leadership to 4 years. It should be noted that according to the NJ Statute in Title 19 pertaining to Party leadership elections, they should occur every year not every four years.

I think we should have three meetings on this proposed amendment before adopting it. The fi rst meeting should be the presentation of this amendment and the formation of a committee to develop the iron-clad procedures and sending out a draft document to members; the second meeting should be that the appointed committee present their results to the membership and take some feedback from the members; and the third meeting could be reviewing the agreed-upon document and voting on the amend ment. That’s what a responsible organization would do. This is such a dangerous change to our process that I think it deserves the time for the membership to understand all the implications.

They, on the other hand, think anonymity will be preser ved, but they are still in control and we all know that transparency hasn’t been a strength of the Ocean County Democratic organization.

The scenario stated above is NOT what happened this past Sunday. We were not willing to just vote for this amendment without adequate vetting and many committee members had valid questions. As a result, the Chairman kept pushing back on us until a motion was made to table the discussion for a future date with follow-up containing air-tight procedures and controls before we would vote on such a major change in how we do business. Leadership must

understand that gone are the days of backdoor deals and ruling over political fiefdoms within our local Democratic organizations.

It should also be noted that Wyatt used so much time in the beginning of the meeting to bring up lots of folks to sing his praises, that there wasn’t enough time for the candidates to present themselves to the Committee members.

The Chair of the NJ State Democratic Committee, LeRoy Jones, also was in attendance. This was very embarrassing for both the candidates and the Committee membership and maybe even the State Democratic Chair.

Anyone who makes the mistake of trying to characterize us as a marginalized group of dissidents is sorely mistaken. WE are the majority. We must continue to fight for participatory democracy within our County Committee. We are committed to winning this fight and our victory on Sunday is just a start.

TNR Not A Good Way To Deal With Strays Editor’s note: This letter is in response to a previous article called “Volunteers Give “Purrfect” Help To Feral Felines.”

Tr a p - Ne u t e r- R e t u r n (TNR) does not reduce or control the feral cat population. Research has shown that unless more than 75% of the fertile population of a municipality or county is fixed annually (not 75% of a colony here or there), then no reduction will occur. The programs that have had the most resources (for example, county-wide programs in Florida and California) did not even approach 10%.

In the article, the writer

refers to a parade of felines that met the feeder at her car. A parade (read that as hoard) of cats congregating outside is detrimental to wildlife and public health.

For every outdoor cat, 21 to 55 wild birds will perish annually. Add to that many more small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Domestic cats are the leading direct human-related cause of wild bird and small mammal mortality, yet ironically, what is discussed in the article is predation of cats by coyotes. If this is a concern, subjecting domestic cats to living under these and other hazardous conditions cannot be humane.

Domestic cats are the leading domestic animal carrier of rabies. Attracting every nearby rabies-vector raccoon and skunk that gets a whiff of the bounty of cat food provided is not in the best interest of public health or wild animals that will become habituated to humans. If during a pandemic, we still do not understand the importance of preventative and sound, evidence-based practices regarding matters of public health, we never will.

Releasing sterilized cats and feeding them so they exist at densities beyond the environmental carrying capacity of any natural mammalian predator is neither sustainable nor effective. That simply turns an area into one giant litter box.

Domestic cats are great companion animals, but they should not be sustained in hoards outdoors.

Individuals often dump unwanted pets at colonies.

TNR enables abandonment and the cycle continues.

Adopt ion a nd cont ai nment, or euthanasia if the cats are unable to be adopted or contained, are better and more compassionate choices.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

Rep. Kim Announces Millions In Funding For Ocean County Schools

WASHINGTON, D.C. - One year after the American Rescue Plan became law, Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) announced that Burlington and Ocean County have received $5.4 million from the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Emergency Connectivity Fund Program (ECF) that provides students with the internet service, laptops, Wi-Fi hotspots, and other equipment necessary for their education.

“While the COVID pandemic taught us a lot about our healthcare system, it also highlighted that many students across our district don’t have access to the internet at home, and are struggling to study outside of school,” said Congressman Kim. “With this money, libraries and school districts are helping students across Burlington and Ocean Counties get online to study, do research, and do homework outside of their school buildings. These funds are helping

break down barriers for the next generation of American leaders, and I couldn’t be happier to be bringing $5.4 million back home to help New Jersey students.”

The ECF program, which was created as part of the American Rescue Plan, helps schools and libraries ensure that students can connect to the internet at home, allowing them to take advantage of online learning and do their homework. Known as the “homework gap,” students who lack access to the internet at home often fall behind their peers as curriculums and educational opportunities rely more and more on the ability to conduct online research and connect to the web.

“The FCC’s Emergency Connectivity Fund program has been an indispensable resource during a challenging time,” said Toms River Regional Schools Interim Superintendent Stephen Genco. “The American Rescue Plan overall, and specifically

the Emergency Connectivity Fund, has enabled us to implement prevention and mitigation strategies, and ensure that there are no obstacles for any student to learn and engage, complete homework, and remain academically on track. For a district like ours, which serves 14,500 students with varying socioeconomic backgrounds, this program and its funding has no doubt served its mission to close learning gaps, and we’re beyond grateful.”

“The FCC Emergency Connectivity Fund is ensuring that every student can learn with the latest technology both at school and at home, effectively helping to close the digital divide for our school community,” said Willingboro School District Supervisor of Technology and Data Analysis, Dr. Phillip Crisostomo. “We are now able to replace Chromebooks that had been considered ‘end of life’ with brand new devices to ensure a continuity of learning

when students leave school at the end of each day. I’m grateful to Congressman Kim for his steadfast support of Willingboro schools and students.”

The ECF Program helps cover costs of laptop and tablet computers, Wi-Fi hotspots, modems, routers, and broadband connectivity purchases for off-campus use by students, school staff, and library patrons.

The schools and libraries in Ocean County that received funding from the ECF program include: • Barnegat Township School District $300,990 • Central Regional School District $264,000 • Ocean Gate School District $46,080 • Stafford Township School District $163,381.15 • Toms River Regional School District $1,657,817.70

Funding Provided For New Jersey Hospitals

NEWARK – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker (both D-N.J.) highlighted the $11,958,000 in federal funding they secured in the government funding bill for New Jersey hospitals and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). This funding will help health care systems across the state make critical investments to improve and upgrade their facilities to better serve their communities.

“The funding we are announcing today is critical in helping hospitals and health centers make the critical upgrades needed

to meet our community’s needs today and into the future. New Jersey is home to many premiere medical institutions and funding like this will ensure they continue to serve as beacons of quality health care,” said Sen. Menendez. “I promise to continue to fight in Washington to ensure you have the critical resources you need to keep all of our loved ones healthy and safe.”

Sens. Menendez and Booker secured $3,870,000 for University Hospital to build a Trauma Operating Room and holding areas for patient recovery before their

transfer to the intensive care unit. The goal of this project is to improve patient health outcomes by controlling bleeding within the critical “golden hour” of a life threatening injury occurring, which is often challenging, given the time it takes EMS to be called and arrive on scene, assess the patient and transport them to the hospital.

“New Jersey hospitals and their care teams performed valiantly during the pandemic, successfully caring for more than 100,000 COVID patients. But the road ahead will be a long one for our hospitals, which experienced the dual impact of lost revenue and the skyrocketing costs of providing care amid a global pandemic,” said New Jersey Hospital Association President and CEO Cathy Bennett. “We greatly appreciate the leadership of Sens.

Booker and Menendez in bringing this critical healthcare funding to New Jersey and ensuring that our hospitals will always be there for us – especially when we need them the most.”

The $1.2 trillion Fiscal Year 2022 government funding package included $232 million in funding for community projects across the state. Beyond health care, the projects make investments in education, housing, green energy and water infrastructure. Ultimately, the projects will help lower costs for families and create good-paying jobs up and down the state.

While announcing the funding outside University Hospital’s Emergency Department, the senators railed against Congressional Republicans for refusing to include

COVID-19 supplemental funding in the government funding bill. The lawmakers vowed to continue pushing a vote to ensure the nation has the resources to continue a robust fight against the pandemic.

Sen. Menendez also highlighted the need for an independent, 9/11-style commission to investigate the country’s response to the pandemic. The Senator originally unveiled his bipartisan National Coronavirus Commission Act last summer at University Hospital, surrounded by frontline health care workers and families of those who died from COVID-19.

The following hospitals and FQHC’s received funding from the FY22 funding package: • University Hospital, Newark, $3,870,000 • Care Plus Bergen Inc., New Bridge Medical Center, Paramus, $2M • AtlantiCare Health System, Mission Health Care, Atlantic City, $1M • Deborah Heart and Lung Center, Pemberton, $1M • Capital Health System, Trenton, $925,000 • Metropolitan Family Health Network, Inc., Jersey City, $800,000 • Atlantic Health System, Newton, $750,000 • Capital Health System, Capital Health Reg ional Med ical Center, Trenton, $550,000 • Ironbound Community Health Center, Newark, $550,000 • The Valley Hospital, Ridgewood, $513,000

MANAHAWKIN – The Southern Regional School District, working in collaboration with Hackensack Meridian Health and Southern Ocean Medical Center, is proud to present its third Mini-Medical Academy. The program, which was first presented in the winter of 2018, has been on hold for two years due to the social gathering restrictions of the pandemic.

As soon as social gathering restrictions were relaxed, Southern administrators Craig Henry and Megan Vile immediately began working with Southern Ocean Medical Center administrators Michelle Morrison and Carl Maslag to put a program together for the spring of 2022.

The program is free and available to any Southern Regional student who is considering a career in the medical, health, or wellness fields. The program consists of

a series of evening lectures designed to inform attendees about the many “white coat” careers and the pathways available when pursuing those careers.

On March 8, the first lecture was by Dr. David S. Kountz, MB, MBA, the Associate Dean of Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine. Dr. Kountz was joined by four students who are in their third year of medical school. The medical students shared with the Southern Regional students their personal pathways and experiences from high school to medical school in addition to many tips and strategies to navigate the challenges. Over 100 Southern students attended, many of whom remained after the formal presentation to network and ask follow-up questions of Dr. Kountz and the four medical students.

Students Educated On Astrophysics

–Photo courtesy Southern Regional MANAHAWKIN – On February 25, Southern graduate Kailyn Raub (Class of 2014) visited Mr. Saroka’s 8th grade science classes to talk to students about her journey to becoming an astrophysicist.

Raub graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with her Bachelor of Science in Astronomy and Physics. After graduation, she secured employment at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in New Mexico, working with radio telescopes that communicate to take pictures of celestial bodies.

Currently, her work involves building domes that hold telescopes, analyzing the data that is recorded by the telescope systems, and taking pictures through visible light emissions. Raub brought a slide show of the pictures she has taken and students were able to identify some of the pictures

she showed. Raub is currently working on her Master of Science in Astrophysics.

Raub’s message to the students included not only what it is like to be an astronomer, but also how she decided that astronomy and physics were her passions in life. She recalled that most subjects did not interest her very much until she was in Mr. Saroka’s science class. That introduction to space sparked her passion for astronomy.

She shared that she did not start off as a great student and had to make up some ground in her math classes, but when she found what she loved, she put in the work.

Her advice to students was to “Pick something that interests you, no matter how hard it seems,” and that once you fi nd your passion, “You don’t have to be the smartest, you just have to put in your best effort”.

Community Colleges Receive Scholarship Grants

MAYS LANDING – Atlantic City Electric has provided $75,000 to three local community colleges to support scholarships for local youth to become the next generation of the energy workforce. The funding builds on $50,000 in grants provided as part of Atlantic City Electric’s Community Scholars Program during the 2020-2021 academic year to support students across the company’s service area struggling to continue their education due to the impacts of the pandemic.

“We hope this funding helps open the door to educational opportunities that all too often are just a dream for many young people within our communities,” said Rodney Oddoye, senior vice president of Governmental, External and Regulatory Affairs for Pepco Holdings, which includes Atlantic City Electric. “Through our partnerships with local community colleges to our transformational workforce development programs like our partnership with Jingoli Power, we are not only expanding the possibilities for our youth, we are building the talent pool for the future energy workforce.”

Atlantic City Electric provided $75,000 in grants to Atlantic Cape Community College, Camden County Community College, and Rowan College of South Jersey. In addition to this funding, as part of a partnership with UNCF (United Negro College Fund) Atlantic City Electric’s parent company, Exelon, and the Exelon Foundation, provided $2.4 million in scholarships to 24 college freshmen attending historic black colleges and universities as part of its HBCU Corporate Scholars Program launched in the fall 2021. As part of this

program, Newark, NJ resident, Bernice Hightower, is receiving up to $100,000 in need-based aid over her four years of schooling at Howard University.

“We appreciate the wonderful partnership with UNCF and the opportunity to further the support and relationship with our HBCU’s to provide greater and more meaningful impact to local students who are building their knowledge and preparing themselves to become the future energy workforce, added Oddoye.”

These community college grants and support for local students add to the initiatives of Atlantic City Electric and Exelon that support education and workforce development. As an example, Atlantic City Electric partnered with Jingoli Power, the contract company working on Atlantic City Electric’s Atlantic City/Brigantine Community Reliability Project, to train young adults residing in Atlantic City to support numerous areas of its project. Atlantic City Electric and Exelon are helping bridge the gender and racial gap in STEM careers with the annual Exelon Foundation STEM Leadership Academy, a program, to encourage and support the involvement of young women in science, technology, engineering and math.

These commitments extend outside of Atlantic City Electric’s walls through philanthropic support of similar work by other organizations in the community. In 2021 alone, Atlantic City Electric provided more than $1.1 million in grants for nonprofits and programs across the company’s South Jersey service area.

Gardening For Hearing

Nothing says springtime like seedlings and fresh compost for a bountiful new season in the garden. Planning your homegrown fruits and vegetables? Consider these yard-to-table superstars to help support healthy hearing.

Blueberries. Who can resist a batch of berries just waiting to jump into a smoothie, pie, or stack of pancakes? Songbirds love to snack on them, too. And blueberries offer vitamin C, which, combined with magnesium and vitamins A and E, may help thwart noise-induced hearing loss.

Kale. The always-reliable kale’s versatility — use it solo or in soups, salads, lasagna, and more — is matched by its hardiness. This timeless leafy green includes folate, which may help reduce risk of hearing loss in older men when taken at higher levels. * Pumpkins. Direct-sow this favorite no earlier than late May for summer or fall harvesting. Freshly collected pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc, which supports the immune system and — in an oral-medication form — might help improve tinnitus. ** Tomatoes. The tomato, a garden staple, has earned its place as a fruit to cultivate. It’s rich in a wealth of nutri-

ents including potassium, an important mineral for regulating blood and tissue fluid levels — including in the inner ear, which plays an important role in hearing and balance.

Dr. Izzy & his Staff are here to answer most of your hearing health questions. We can be reached at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) or visit us at www.gardenstate hearing.com.

It is common knowledge that our muscles need exercise to stay strong and healthy. We run for stronger legs and heart muscles and we do weight training for the muscles in our arms and crunches for our abdominals—but what about the muscles in our eyes? Studies have shown that, when practiced regularly, eye muscle exercises can strengthen these muscles and increase blood flow. Although eye exercise routines will not relieve a person’s need for eyeglasses, they can sharpen vision and reduce eye strain, which allow the eyes to work more efficiently. Routines can be structured to target a specific eye problem as well, such as astigmatism, and may even relieve headache pain.

Eye exercises probably won’t improve your vision, but they can help with eye comfort, especially if your eyes get irritated at work. Some doctors specialize in a field of treatment called vision therapy. Vision therapy may include eye exercises, but only as part of a more specialized treatment program done under the supervision of an eye doctor, optometrist, or ophthalmologist. To schedule an appointment, please call SIGHTMD NEW JERSEY SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES at 732-349-5622. We offer evening hours most nights of the week.

P.S. While eye exercises may not “cure” an eye condition, they can help slow the progress of myopia or nearsightedness.

Unusual Health Benefits Of Eucalyptus Leaves

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

To me, eucalyptus oil is one of the best essential oils you’ll ever find. It has so many uses. If you don’t want a little bottle of this, I suggest the plant leaves that are sold in a bunch. You can get them dried or fresh, and you can shower with them!

The compound that does the work in eucalyptus is called “1,8-cineole” and it breaks up mucus and reduces spasms in the respiratory tract. This compound has proven clinical efficacy for many diseases including bronchitis, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Did you know eucalyptus oil is one of the main ingredients in the most famous product called Vicks® VapoRub? This is an over-the-counter drug that contains a lot of camphor and some eucalyptus too, which treats cough, and muscle/joint pain. There are many other topical products sold online today that contain similar active ingredients.

As for the beautiful plant itself, you can buy a bundle easily. I received a eucalyptus flower bouquet from a friend for the sole purpose of hanging it in the shower! She sent it to me for this very purpose. The hot steam from the shower helps activate and release eucalyptus oil compounds especially the 1,8-cineole. If this is too strong for you, or unpleasant, but you still want the benefits of this breathing compound, then just put 5 or 10 drops in a large bowl of hot water. Cover your head with a towel and breathe in the aroma for about 10 minutes. Finally, you can 10 - 20 drops in the bathtub, or you can use a carrier oil like coconut oil to rub some on your skin.

The health benefits of 1,8-cineol found in eucalyptus may help with: • Relieve chest tightness and congestion • Promotes feelings of relaxation • Ease breathing • Reduce sinus inflammation • Help a stuffy nose • Helps with allergies • Improve symptoms of asthma and bronchitis • Anxiety and tension Aside from the respiratory benefits that are well documented, 1,8-cineol has been shown to help relieve pain in people who underwent knee surgery. It also can help with sinus headaches and possibly even certain forms of heart disease and skin cancer!

These unusual benefits speak to the power of the plant, and even though we need more studies and data, it’s still good news!

One fun fact about eucalyptus is that it’s a natural bug repellant! Bees and butterflies don’t like it. Luckily, the flowers don’t have actual petals, but rather hundreds of stamens so it can self-pollinate without the need for natural bug pollinators.

Incorporating eucalyptus is easy. It can be found in many products, including herbal teas, decongestants, cough suppressants, mouthwash and dental formulas, skin care products, natural candles, special infused Epsom bath salts, and muscle rubs. If you make changes to your daily health regimen, always ask your doctor if it’s right for you.

No Bail:

Continued From Page 1 No one from Gregor’s family appeared in the courtroom to listen to the proceedings.

Breanna said they were also not at Corey’s funeral. She does not know if they visit his gravesite.

Assistant Prosecutor Lynn Juan outlined the reasons the state requested that Gregor be held in custody. She referenced several points contained in a 22-page Affidavit of Cause, including two separate expert reports that found Gregor’s son died as a result of blunt force trauma on April 2, 2021.

Gregor was first arrested on July 9, 2021, for child endangerment and released on bail.

Those charges were based on a video documenting a treadmill incident that occurred in the Atlantic Heights clubhouse where Gregor resided.

Corey’s mother said her son’s father sped up the treadmill to punish him even after he fell multiple times. According to Breanna, the little boy also said his dad called him “fat.”

“The defendant’s actions in this case can be described as nothing short of horrific, callous and abusive,” Juan stated. “…It’s important to note that the victim is a sixyear-old child, while the defendant on the other hand, is a 29-year-old adult male.”

“On April 2, 2021, the victim sustained traumatic blunt force injuries to his body, specifically blunt force injuries to his chest and abdomen,” continued Juan. “Resulting in a laceration of his heart, a left pulmonary contusion and lacerations, as well as contu-

sions to his liver.”

According to the timeline presented by Juan, Breanna dropped off Corey at his father’s Barnegat apartment at approximately 9 a.m. on the morning of his death. Gregor allegedly told more than one person that his son was fine when he arrived at his home.

“He told one female friend that the victim was acting quiet,” said Juan. “At no time does the defendant say that the child is ill, loopy, drunk, or stumbling around.”

Within a few hours, Gregor brought Corey to the hospital, where the child began having seizures and suffered from cardiac arrest. He ultimately died from his injuries.

Dr. Thomas Andrew, a forensic pathologist from New Hampshire, estimated the traumatic injuries that caused Corey’s death occurred between four and twelve hours before he died.

“The victim in this case is the defendant’s son,” Juan reminded. “The defendant should have been looking out for his child.

He should have been caring for him. He should have been helping him to grow into a healthy young man.

“And instead, this defendant was abusing his son,” continued Juan. “The defendant was hurting him. He was hitting him, choking him, and subjecting this victim, his own child – to ongoing abuse.”

Juan said that if Gregor is found guilty of the charges brought against him, he could be subjected to a life sentence. The assistant prosecutor said that alone made the defendant a flight risk in addition to his actions immediately following his son’s death.

Gregor traveled first to Pennsylvania and

then to Arkansas, according to authorities.

The search history on his phone showed that he wanted to know if a phone could be found in airplane mode. Other searches included whether a car could be tracked and how long after an autopsy charges are filed.

“He was on the run,” Juan stated. “He was fleeing then, and at that time, this charge had not been lodged.”

Speaking on behalf of his client, Gallucci said that he understood the case to be incredibly sad. He claimed there were numerous DCPP complaints against both parents, with none substantiated.

“What is substantiated is that Christopher did not come into his (Corey’s) life until he was about three years old,” said Gallucci.

“That was based on a paternity test requested by CM’s grandmother.”

Gallucci painted a different picture of his client’s involvement with his son, saying that the child had an individualized education program and was grossly over nourished. The defendant’s attorney also said that his client was given custody of the child, who then began to excel in school.

“His blood pressure and cholesterol levels came down to normal ranges,” Gallucci continued.

The defendant’s attorney disputed the consensual recordings of various women who the prosecution referenced in the Affidavit of Probable Cause. He then focused on the expert reports.

“The Medical Examiner of Ocean County found the matter of death to be undetermined,” said Gallucci. “He not only reviewed all the records but actually ex-

amined ‘CM.’” While Gallucci acknowledged he knew the state’s other expert, he pointed out that Dr. Andrew was from New Hampshire and never examined CM but based his opinion on slides and what he called “consensual unconstitutional conversations” with his client in determining the child was the victim of abuse.

Gregor’s attorney also said that the expert witness’ estimation of the timing of the trauma that led to the child’s death included time he was with his mother.

“The prosecution used the trip to Arkansas and Pennsylvania as an example of consciousness of guilt,” said Gallucci. “There’s nobody in this room that can tell us how he was grieving.”

“In addition to that, every single day after CM’s death, his parents, as well as himself were accosted by the other side,” Gallucci continued. “The family, the other side, the mother, the grandmother, not only on the internet and on social media, but in their home with arrests made.”

According to Gallucci, the constant barrage of people harassing the Gregors caused the defendant to leave the home so the abuse against his parents would stop. Gallucci claimed he himself has also experienced harassment as a result of the case.

Gallucci said that his client’s father, David Gregor, is a “highly decorated and retired New Jersey state trooper.” Even after stating the reasons the defendant left his parent’s home, Gallucci asked the judge to release Christopher to their custody on (No Bail - See Page 20)

Shea and Associates In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself.

Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment.

When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy.

We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy.

The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else.

The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets.

We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation

to you and your family if you/they are injured.

The Standard Policy does provide medical expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000.00 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses.

When you purchase the Standard Policy, you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.”

By choosing the “limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing.

Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets.

Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates (732-505-1212) for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Threaten:

Continued From Page 5 school junior.

Later that day, the student’s sister received a text message asking for her brother’s number. The individual identified himself as J.T.’s nephew and said there was a misunderstanding and he wanted to hear both sides.

“That’s the same person the father said he was going to have go after my son,” said the mom. “My daughter told him he didn’t need to speak to her brother.”

When the daughter came home from school the next day, she noticed a car parked near their home. Someone was sitting inside and ducked down as he quickly drove away.

The mother said her home surveillance camera did not catch the car’s license plate.

She made a report with the local police and expressed her concerns as she lives alone with her children.

“My son doesn’t usually react to things,” the mom shared. “He’s the kid that deters people when they’re fighting. He’s definitely not an instigator or the type to push people’s buttons.”

Southern Regional responded to a request for documentation with a letter sent from the principal to J.T. The correspondence dated February 23, 2022 references the events of February 15th and contains some redactions.

“It has been reported to me that you were allowed permission into the building by REDACTED at which time you engaged in a confrontation with a student who was in the lunchroom,” wrote Principal Joseph Medica. “At no time should REDACTED outside person enter the building or be

In making his decision to hold Gregor, Judge Collins said that he relied heavily on the medical expert reports. The judge also said he saw the video of the incident on the treadmill and reviewed the searches Gregor made on his phone.

“I’ll be the first to concede that there are a host of ways that one grieves,” said Judge Collins. “One might cry, one might go to the mother of the child even though they had a contentious relationship.

“One might go to one’s family; one

allowed to enter the building from a door other than the main entrance. At no time should REDACTED engage in a confrontation with a student on school grounds.”

The letter also informed J.T. that Stafford Police would be notified if he was found on the campus again and arrested for trespassing.

In response for a request regarding any disciplinary actions taken against any of the students, the school district’s legal counsel responded.

“Only the student themselves, if they have reached majority, or their Parent or Guardian may authorize the release of their student records,” wrote Attorney Laura M. Benson.

The district did not respond to specific questions about the incident.

The male student’s mother reported that no disciplinary action was taken against her son. No information is available confirming allegations that the students who let the father into the school were suspended.

“I received a call from one of the principals telling me to make sure my son didn’t post anything on social media,” said the mom.

“I asked him if he thought I was stupid.”

“I wanted to know what would have happened if the guy had a knife or a gun,” the mother continued. “My son is 16 years old and the whole thing is really scary.”

According to the mother, the administrator reassured her that he’d been in three schools in the district and that nothing had ever happened.

“It never happens, until it happens,” the mom says she reminded the school official.

“I said the same thing when I met with them in person.”

Attempts made to interview J.T. for commentary were unsuccessful.

might start drinking,” the judge continued. “One might contact all sorts of family members to seek solace in their arms. What they don’t do is say – hey, I’m going to go to Little Rock.”

Soon after Corey’s death, Breanna began a “Justice for Corey” Facebook page that now has nearly 19K followers.

Calling themselves, “Corey’s Army,” membe r s of t he g roup have set up demonstrations as recently as one held at the courthouse on the morning of the detention hearing.

Like every defendant, Gregor is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. No trial date has yet been set.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE St. Patrick’s Day Parade Rescheduled

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – It’s not an April Fool’s prank. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade has been rescheduled to Saturday, April 2.

The original date was cancelled due to bad weather. There were some statements made online suggesting different dates but apparently they were not official.

The parade committee posted that the parade will be April 2 now that it has been approved by the Borough Council.

The parade usually begins after a traditional Irish Mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church on the Boulevard and

Grant Avenue with the parade kicking off at noon. The parade features various pipe and drum bands, high school bands, floats, and Irish-American organizations from around the county and state.

Last year, there was no parade at all due to the coronavirus. Events around the country that had large gatherings of people in close proximity were cancelled in order to slow the spread of the virus. It would have been the 37th annual parade.

Back then, the parade committee stated “Let’s hope the luck of the Irish will keep us safe and we’ll be back bigger and better next year.”

Get Your Special Library Card Featuring “Baby Yoda”

TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Library is excited to announce the arrival of a new limited edition library card design featuring “Baby Yoda,” also called “Grogu” or “The Child,” the breakout star of the Disney+ hit series “The Mandalorian.”

Cards, for new and existing Library members, will be available at all 21 Ocean County Library branches and reading centers beginning March 28.

In addition to spotlighting the beloved character, the card features an easy-toread, enlarged-font barcode number on the

opposite side.

The card design is part of American Library Association’s READ® campaign which, for more than three decades, has featured celebrities, musicians, award-winning authors and illustrators who have lent their star power to support America’s libraries.

They hope you will join this spring at the Ocean County Library to enjoy their new programs and services and to pick up your new Baby Yoda library card.

Ocean County College Earns Gold Status As A Military Friendly School

TOMS RIVER – Ocean County College announced that it has earned the 2022-2023 Military Friendly® School designation with Gold Award status, a recognition of the College’s commitment, effort and success in supporting student veterans.

The annual Military Friendly School list identifies institutions that are setting the standard for military and veteran programs and initiatives. A Gold-level ranking is awarded to schools scoring within 10% of the 10th-ranking institution.

OCC’s distinction as a Gold-level institution is a direct result of the rigorous efforts of the College’s Veteran and Military Resource Center, which has also been designated as a Center of Excellence for Student Veteran Success. The VMRC is led by Assistant Director Ryan Luurtsema, a 2021 Veteran Champion of the Year in Higher Education, who served 8 years in the U.S. Army and has been a part of the OCC community since 2019.

“Our goal at OCC is to provide the utmost support to all military- and veteran-affiliated students, whether they identify as active duty personnel or spouses and dependents – new, returning, current, or alumni, in any and all capacities,” said Luurtsema.

“Transitioning out of service is a life experience, not a temporary reflection. If you

have served in or out of uniform, we want to serve you throughout your journey.”

The Military Friendly® designation is based on extensive research using public data sources from more than 8,800 schools nationwide, input from student veterans, and responses to the proprietary, data-driven Military Friendly® Schools survey from participating institutions. Criteria for selection include student retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment, persistence (degree advancement or transfer) and loan default rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans.

“Our standards provide a benchmark that promotes positive outcomes and support services that better the educational landscape and provide opportunity for the Military Community,” said Kayla Lopez, National Director of Military Partnerships, Military Friendly. “Schools who achieve awards designation show true commitment in their efforts, going over and above that standard.”

Exit 82 Theatre Re-Opens Studio Theater Downtown With 2022 Season

TOMS RIVER – Exit 82 Theatre Company in Downtown Toms River is thrilled to re-open their Studio Theater with a full 2022 season including musicals, plays, children’s programming, community nights, concerts, and more playing throughout the year.

Kicking off the Main Stage season, Exit 82 will feature Broadway’s Musical Comedy: FIRST DATE playing March 18 to 27. When blind date newbie Aaron is set up with serial-dater Casey, a casual drink at a busy New York restaurant turns into a hilarious high-stakes dinner. Can this couple turn what could be an all-too-familiar dating disaster into something special before the check arrives?

Up next, the theater will host the 4th annual Toms River Pride celebration on June 11. In addition to the street festival, the Main Stage and Studio Theater will be packed with entertainment all day.

This summer, the Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning show, RENT, will play July 21 to 31. Set in the East Village of New York City, this beloved musical is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today.

Rounding out the mainstage season, the

murder mystery comedy CLUE will run October 14 to 23. Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery! For the best pricing and VIP treatment, subscription packages are now on sale!

Since the theater industry shut down in 2020, Exit 82 has been slowly opening its doors back up, providing innovate, high quality and safe theatre to the community. Exit 82 Theatre Company produced a multi-venue, masked concert of The Rocky Horror Show in October 2021 and a pandemic-set original comedy, Julia Caesar, safely in masks at the Studio Theater in spring 2021. In the summer of 2021, the tribal rock musical, HAIR was produced at the Barnegat Bay Eco-center in Toms River, providing a full-scale musical production experience in an outdoor setting.

After consistently adapting to various restrictions, the Studio Theater can fi nally re-open to produce a complete season.

The Exit 82 Studio Theater is located at 73 Main Street in downtown Toms River.

Tickets and subscription packages are available online at exit82theatre.com.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Patients Ask Doctors.

Doctors Ask Dr. Hussain

By Michael Vandenberg Most of the time, getting treatment is simple. Something hurts or you feel ill, so you go to the doctor. He or she describes what the problem is and then gives you advice or medication. But sometimes answers aren’t so simple. That’s when rheumatologists like Dr. Shahzad Hussain step in. With his innate ability to read between the lines, along with years of education and first-hand experience, Dr. Hussain stands ready to solve the problem and make a difference.

The challenging nature of rheumatology is part of what originally appealed to him back in residency. It was a field where he could do more than write prescriptions; he really wanted to get to know his patients, and that comes with the territory when you’re asking them a lot of questions for a diagnosis and treatment. So he did fellowships in both rheumatology and immunology, making his level of knowledge on the former’s top villains (like lupus) among the highest.

He happened to finish his residency in San Francisco at the same time and city as Dr. Usmani, who would go on to start his own practice in Lakewood in 1999.

Meanwhile, Dr. Hussain had gone home to care for his ailing brother. A few months went by, and Dr. Usmani started to get busy and looked to hire a partner.

He heard about Dr. Hussain and gave him a call. “It would be at least another six months before I can come back,” Dr. Hussain warned

him. “No problem, I can wait,” Dr. Usmani said. They eventually joined forces and ran a highly successful practice until early 2018, when they decided to merge with Garden State Medical Center.

There were two major benefits to joining GSMC. For one thing, everything is electronic here for easy access: data, records, and charts are all in one place.

That means they can spend less time doing paperwork and more time getting you better.

Second, they could team up with Dr. Dharam Mann and his gifted team of pain management specialists.

The idea of having everything under one roof was huge to Dr. Hussain. Before the merger, “I’d see a patient here, and then I’d say, ‘Okay go get pain management forty miles away.’” Sometimes this would result in a disconnect in treatment strategy, or patients understandably didn’t want to do all that traveling. But now he’ll come to a diagnosis and say, for example, “Dr. Jani is next door. I know him, I’ll talk to him.” All of his notes are right on the database,

along with Dr. Jani’s, so they can easily coordinate the best way to care for you.

“I’ll send them and in the next few days they are being seen,” by one of the pain management specialists. No more bouncing around for a month just to go from diag-

nosis to treatment.

With the full force of GSMC behind him, Dr. Hussain has pulled off some great feats.

“It’s very gratifying in this field when you see patients doing well, because these diseases are hard to treat,” he pointed out. One woman had rashes head to toe and had been to five or six other rheumatologists before Dr. Hussain. She had only recently been diagnosed with skin lupus, but treatment wasn’t working. The key would be to figure out anything besides the lupus that might be triggering the rashes. Sun exposure was an obvious cause, but Dr. Hussain was able to lean heavily on his

allergy training in immunology to dig deeper on things like perfumes and shampoos.

After six months of careful consideration and communication with the patient, they were able to get the rashes down to 10 percent of their former surface area. A great improvement, but not perfect. Dr. Hussain found a new infusion that had just been approved by the FDA. The only problem: it cost $20,000 every four weeks.

His office fought hard for the patient to get it approved with her insurance, and then they began treatment. In three months, there was not one spot left on her body.

“She literally sat and cried and cried and said, ‘Oh my God, I’ve lived with this for so long. I thought I was go-

ing to die with this.’ So now she’s still rash-free. She’s in complete remission,” and only has to take one medication per day.

Rashes aren’t the only thing Dr. Hussain treats either.

Rheumatology can concern all of the major bodily systems in one way or another.

Regardless of what you’re feeling, he is prepared to talk to you and give you a hand.

Feel free to schedule an appointment with Dr. Hussain today at 1100 NJ Route 70, Entrance A in Whiting or 2333 Whitehorse Mercerville Road in Hamilton by calling 1-888-376-2661.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of MAR 26 - Apr 1

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Hope springs eternal. You may be determined to stop hibernating and break out of your cave as spring arrives.

Loved ones and friends could agree in the week ahead that it is time to try something different.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be ready to join new friends and old companions on a more productive path as this week unfolds. Some new acquaintances may only remain in your circle for a short time, but they may offer fresh insights.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Check messages and conversations for hidden meanings.

Some people might say exactly what they mean but others could offer more cryptic signals. In the week ahead, your perceptions may be sharper than usual.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Appreciate the hard work that must be exerted to live up to ideals and reach your goals. You may be all business when dealing with financial matters but still be compassionate towards someone in need.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A partner may prefer facts rather than fantasies. Do not let criticisms be personally hurtful. You will possess a sharper competitive edge in the upcoming week if you’re part of a group of likeminded individuals.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Seeing is believing. It may be difficult to perceive the road clearly if you are blinded by wishful thinking. In the week ahead, test out theories before you put them into action and listen to the advice of wise companions and partners.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are stimulated by people who are familiar with the latest discoveries and technologies. New friends could influence how you choose to handle family issues in the week to come.

Recognize any problems so you can fix them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Press the pause button on your decisions. Someone might be friendly or flatter you in the week to come, but this does not mean that you should pursue them romantically. Think things through before acting.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Enjoy some mental challenges or puzzles to exercise your mind. In the coming week, you may need to come up with innovative ideas to solve problems at work. Brainstorm solutions with savvy people.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may glow with enhanced mojo. Hang out with talented individuals and find yourself in lofty circles. Money may feel a bit tight, so avoid making rash financial decisions or impulsive purchases this week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might jump the gun or feel that someone else is making an inconvenient spur-of-the-moment decision. Don’t let a minor misunderstanding drive a wedge between you and your loved ones in the week ahead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The mind operates as a magnet that attracts things and people of similar vibration. Positive, contented, uplifting and encouraging words will bring people together. Focus on sound principles to guide your life.
