Ocean County Memorial Day Parade Returns
By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – After a twoyear hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ocean County Memorial Day Parade returned to the streets of Toms River. The parade, sponsored by the George P. Vanderveer American Legion Post 129, kicked off Memorial Day morning with participants gathered at the Toms River Shopping Center on Route 37. Various groups marched south on
Main Street (Route 166) and then moved east onto Washington Street for the event. Among those who participated in the parade were local high school marching bands, several military vehicles, first responders, elected officials, civic groups and vintage cars. While this marks the official return of the parade, veterans who paid the ultimate price were remembered last year through the efforts of long time Ocean
County figure Joseph Placente. He is well known throughout Ocean County and beyond for marching in patriotic attire, carrying a large American flag and sporting a big smile on Veterans Day, Fourth of July and Memorial Day. Last year, in the absence of the official Memorial Day Parade, Placente marched down the usual parade route by himself to honor veterans. His many friends wouldn’t let him do it (Parade - See Page 4)

Common Lunch Period Proposed For High Schools
By Bob Vosseller JAC K S O N – A 60 -minute com mon lunch period for students is on the table – discussed at length during a recent Board of Education meeting. The common period would include lunch for all students in the school but would also allow for half that time to be spent either receiving help by a teacher in a subject they need to improve in or time with other students - an extracurricular activity such as a club or athletics. They could also use it for study time.
Superintendent Nicole Pormilli brought up the subject with the public and Board of Education members. “This has been a long-term plan we’ve been looking at for three years, which is introducing a common lunch period which will be implemented in our high schools in the 20222023 school year.” “This was actually four years in the making. This was a proposed idea presented to the Board of Education two times previously. Unfortunately it was (Schools - See Page 5)
Councilman: US Should Pull Support From WHO
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Local officials tackled another global issue by supporting legislation that would prevent America from giving support to the World Health Organization. Councilman Steven Chisholm wanted to bring the public’s attention to proposed federal legislation, HR419. “This is a bill that is desperately needed. Many of you may be familiar with the WHO, the World Health Organization. These guys would like to steal your Constitutional rights and unfortunately Democrats in Washington D.C. are pushing to have international health regulations that were once passed in 2005 extended.” According to The Associated Press, the (WHO - See Page 10)

alone, however. They joined him for that march with vehicles, military trucks, bicycles and antique cars. The senior citizen noted that the true meaning behind the holiday was to remember those who served their country and died protecting it to preserve our nation’s freedom. “God bless our deceased vets. God bless America!” he told JerseyShoreOnline prior to the parade’s start. He elaborated later saying, “We’re lucky with this weather. The good Lord is with us. He is shining upon those here.” A parade watcher recalled seeing Placente as a child on a prior Memorial Day carrying the large American flag along Route 37. “I wondered who this crazy guy was,” they joked. “It has been a long run but it has been a good one,” Placente said. The parade spectator quickly added, “you’re not done yet!” Local Boy and Girl Scouts participated in the parade. The Boy Scouts carried a large American Flag up the parade route. Among the military support organizations was the Disabled American Veterans Ocean County Chapter #24. They rode down the parade route in a large float. The Tin Can Sailors’ vehicle featured a large model of a Navy destroyer. The group’s commander, Jarrell Correll said, “We are here to support those who came before us who can’t be here. People get Memorial Day and Veterans Day mixed
up but Memorial Day is the day to remember those who came before us, laid the groundwork for this great country and we are here to remember them. It isn’t just a weekend for barbecues and fun. “It is nice to see us all get out here again. Every year we come out for the Veterans Day Parade and the Memorial Day Parade. The Tin Can Sailors have kind of rebranded ourselves beyond those who served on (U.S. Navy) destroyers to bring in some younger veterans because they don’t relate to tin can sailors as we older guys do,” Correll added. “We are trying to beef up our ranks like everybody else and it was very difficult during the whole COVID thing and getting people back involved.” Before the parade star ted, a shor t distance away from where the Tin Can Sailors were lined up, were two women standing next to a bright red vintage Chevrolet pickup truck awaiting their turn to move onto the parade route. “This is the fi rst time we’re doing this,” Karen Kelly said. She was wearing an American f lag dress and a gold tiara. Her fellow Toms River resident, Susan Gilham, owned the classic 1957 truck. The ladies were already looking forward to their next parade appearance. “We’re also going to do a Fourth of July parade, whoever has a parade,” Gilham said. Following the parade, a ceremony was held outside Toms River Town Hall with speakers and honored guests. A rif le salute was held prior to the placing of wreaths on the veteran’s monument in front of the municipal complex.

Schools:
Continued From Page 1 postponed due to the pandemic,” Assistant School Superintendent Dan Baginski said. “I’m excited tonight to present this fantastic idea.” Some time was shaved off from each of the class periods and the home room period to create the 60-minute common period which will include lunch “and also the opportunity to do all these other things. Between 10 o’clock and 11 o’clock and the 5th period used for teachers would no longer be on the schedule anymore. That would end at 1:39 p.m. On shortened days or delayed openings, we never served lunch in the past so we would knock out the common period on those days,” Baginski said. Baginski said students would have lunch at any point during the 60-minute period. “Lunch would be available for purchase at the cafeterias as they are now and there are vending machines at different locations in school. He noted that the concept allows for students to take more responsibility for their own time management. Eating would be prohibited in the classes. He said a key component was allowing for extra help for students. “They will be able to

The Jackson Times, June 4, 2022, Page 5 seek extra help during the common period because the teachers will be available three days a week for half of the period. Teachers will establish the time and location and students will have to adjust their own time to make it and they will have the opportunity for drop in assistance if the teacher is available.” The extra help could be held at a lecture hall or media center and two study areas, one being a quiet area where students are expected to be quiet to get work done and a social study area where students would be able to have polite conversation and to work together collaboratively. Baginski said the concept began with a committee that was formed to perform some research. “They surveyed staff and after that they made a recommendation to have a common lunch period. It necessitated quite a bit of logistical planning and changes within the food service, security and administration. We took a full year to plan that. “Having the extra year only strengthened our planning and made us more ready for next September,” Baginski noted. He added that greater awareness needed to be brought to parents and students to prepare them for implementation next fall when the schools reopen. He added that there were a number of posi-
tive impacts that students could have through the common lunch period. “It really is about connecting kids to school in different ways and giving kids opportunities they never had in the past because they couldn’t stay after school. This includes getting assistance in classes with their assignments.” Baginski said staff would be assisting with this new concept with an “all hands-on deck approach” with students having the ability to see guidance counselors, case managers, nurses and para-professionals. “Students can avail themselves of many different resources.” Also helping out to keep the environment safe and clean would be the school resource officers, custodians, secretaries and aids. “With everyone being able to support students during that common period,” he added. Students could take part in co-curricular clubs or athletic team activities which Baginski said would be a supplement to the regular activities of these clubs and teams. “It is a nice way to keep kids connected and a greater opportunity for participation for those students who could not participate due to the times they were held.” High school principals Kevin DeEugenio and Geoff Brignola later provided an overview of how the common period would work.

DeEugenio said the last time the high school schedule was changed was 1996 when a block schedule was adopted. “There was a lot of naysayers when we moved to a block schedule. It turned out to be a huge success. We were way ahead of the curve from 26 years later as most schools in Ocean and Monmouth counties have moved to a block schedule in one way, shape or form.” “Point Borough High School has this in place, Howell High School and Wall High School - so we can actually see this in action. We saw students get extra help in classes,” DeEugenio said. Board member Erica Osmond wasn’t completely sold on the idea and asked about what additional staff might be required to implement the plan. Baginski responded that “we will not be adding staff ” repeating the concept involves “all hands on deck.” Osmond noted that while the common period “gives them (students) the option to seek help and encourages them to it will not require them to.” Brignola described the situation as a “hard nudge” noting that teachers are in touch with parents. “I think we’ll have success.” Pormilli added, “our teachers are in line with their students’ will.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
E DITORIAL Maybe We All Need A Mental Health Checkup May was Mental Health Awareness month and along with eliminating the stigma of those suffering from forms of mental illness, we as a society appear to be in desperate need of a mental health checkup. Why do I say this? Well, it does seem, and perhaps understandably so, that we are getting more and more frustrated, scared and definitely angry. Our patience is shot. We’ve been enduring three years of the pandemic complete with variants, continued political polarization, gotten into social media squabbles that have taken up way too much of our time, watched mass shootings on the news, a continuing war toward a nation of innocent people by a global goliath ruled by a vile dictator, high gas prices, high food prices, questionable decisions by political figures in power, shortage of workers, shortage of certain products and much more. Maybe we are reaching the breaking point based on a few recent observations of my own. Last month within the span of two weeks I witnessed two scary incidents inside a grocery store and a pharmacy that could have turned violent. The grocery story incident where I went to pick up two items on the honey-do list involved my walking in and observing a customer berating a cashier who was yelling back. Everyone was watching but we assumed it would calm down momentarily. We were wrong. I went to my first stop and overheard the F bomb from three rows away. By the time I hit the self-check area having located my second item, both the worker and customer were gone but a manager had been summoned to the front of the store over the loud speaker. Only a week later I’m checking out a couple of items at a local pharmacy and I find myself in close proximity to a verbal exchange between a customer and a cashier. The customer seems belligerent but the cashier is not diffusing the matter and is clearly using a condescending tone and escalating the issue. As to who is right or wrong is irrelevant. It is just getting worse. I actually wondered while in line as the next customer, where
this will end up and what happens if it turns physical because it certainly seemed like it might and either one could be responsible for the first blow. The cashier ends up cursing under his breath, turns to another worker and says he’s done, and he apparently quits and storms off out the door. The customer is still upset and as he heads out the door and continues yelling at the cashier. The replacement cashier who took my items agreed with me that they were both wrong and remarked that the worker was going through a bad time. This was probably the last straw. She contacted the manager noting that they probably just lost a worker. More recently, my wife was driving on Route 37. An ambulance was approaching with its lights on and siren blaring, so she pulls over to clear room for their passing. The driver behind her is making that impossible but she ends up doing it and the driver slows down and tosses a plastic water bottle at my wife’s car. Wow! Someone tosses an object at you for doing the right thing and delaying someone by a few seconds. Sure, things happen. People lose their tempers. We’re human and people do stupid things but are we losing it in greater frequency these days? Personally, I think so. Sadly, we can’t take the proverbial non-existent chill pill. I was at a convenience store this week getting a cup of java when I got into a friendly conversation with a cashier who remarked that she had stopped watching or even reading the news anymore. She was too afraid to. That is disheartening to hear, especially when you are in the news business. She noted that ignorance can be blissful. I sadly smiled and said I understood her frustration. I don’t think that’s the answer. What is? I’m not sure and it is hard to tell everyone to just relax and slow down because right now we’re wound up too tight and we seem to be spinning around at breakneck speed in various directions. Bob Vosseller Assistant News Editor
On April 3, 2022 I was the victim of an electrical accident at home that could have ended my life. I thank God that I am still alive today. I would also like to thank Manchester Township Police Department (especially Officer Ryan who was the fi rst responder), Manchester Township Emergency Medical Services, and St. Barnabas Emergency Medical Services for the overwhelming response, excellent care, and extreme professionalism that I received. On behalf of my family and I, we THANK YOU!!!
Fossa have been grandstanding. And they take all their talking points from George Gilmore, the guy who was going to jail for tax fraud until he got a presidential pardon. Makes you wonder how much he paid to get that. Lamb, Fossa, and Crispi are just going to do whatever Gilmore wants them to do. They have no strength. They have no ideas of their own. They don’t even have a plan. For the primary, vote for the Republicans who are actually going to get things done: Chris Smith for Congress, and Virginia Haines and Jack Kelly for Commissioner.

Crispi, Lamb, & Fossa Are Political Puppets I got an email saying to vote for Crispi for Congress. All his literature talks about him being a lone wolf and a free thinker and all that.

supermajority on the Court. And this could just be the beginning. But there’s a way to fight back, which is why I’m urging Congress to pass the Judiciary Act of 2021. The Judiciary Act would rebalance the Supreme Court by adding four new seats, giving us 13 justices in total. It’s just what we need to move away from extremely partisan rulings and restore the legitimacy of the Court - and it’s been done before. In fact, Congress has changed the size of the Supreme Court seven times already in our nation’s history. A recent poll showed that the majority of Americans support expanding the court again now. It’s past time for Congress to get on board with this crucial bill. Stanley Miranda Barnegat
Turf Fields Bad For Environment, Athletes I write to express unhappiness at the waste of money and ecological harm that replacing a grass field with synthetic, plastic - e.g, oil based, grass represents. At a time when we need all of the carbon sequestering we can get, even those few acres serve a good purpose. They retain natural moisture, support a teeming biosphere of insect life that other species feed on for survival. In addition, many studies have shown that the slick, artificial surface often results in more injuries to athletes than natural grass. Below is a short excerpt from Sports Medicine Institute: They found athletes were 58 percent more likely to
sustain an injury during athletic activity on artificial turf. Injury rates were significantly higher for football, girls and boys soccer, and rugby athletes. Lower extremity, upper extremity, and torso injuries were also found to occur with a higher incidence on artificial turf. Clearly no one has considered those harmful effects. Susan Addelston Jackson
Protect Our Democracy It’s no secret that Congress is polarized. Rarely does an issue receive strong bipartisan support. That’s why it’s so striking that 4 out of 5 voters agree that we must do more to safeguard our democracy from presidential corruption. No president, regardless of party, should be able to exploit weaknesses in our political system for their personal gain. That’s where the Protecting Our Democracy Act comes in. If passed, it would prevent future abuse of presidential power and corruption, increase transparency, and ensure presidents of either party can be held accountable. If the average person used their office for personal gain, they’d go to jail. If the average person could pardon themselves, there would be no rule of law. Therefore, no president should be above the law. It’s just common sense. I’m urging Congress to pass the Protecting Our Democracy Act. It’s time we put safeguards in place to prevent a corrupt president of any party from abusing the power of their office. Thomas F. Brown Brick

Booker, Menendez Secure $6 M In Federal Funding For A.C. Boardwalk
NEWARK - U.S. Senators Cory Booker and Bob Menendez (both D-NJ) announced $6 million in federal funding to support the Atlantic City Boardwalk Revitalization Project. As the frequency of severe weather increases, this investment will provide for the reconstruction of 1,200 feet of the boardwalk, helping improve the safety and resilience of the site. The project will also suppor t the local tou r ism economy and is estimated to generate $5 million in private investment and create 125 jobs. Senator Booker wrote to the
U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) in support of the project last year and successfully fought for its funding. The grant is funded by the American Rescue Plan, which Booker and Menendez both supported. “The iconic Atlantic City Boardwalk serves as a central hub for small businesses and a tourist destination,” said Sen. Booker. “As the frequency and impact of severe weather and coastal flooding increase, ongoing rehabilitation is needed for the boardwalk to remain safe for residents, businesses, and tour-
ists. I was proud to support this critical revitalization project, which will repair damaged sections of the boardwalk and ensure that it remains a central component of the community’s economy.” “Atlantic City is vital to our state’s tourism industry and plays a critical role in the success of the local economy,” said Sen. Bob Menendez. “I’m proud to have worked in a bipartisan manner to pass the American Rescue Plan which will deliver millions of federal dollars to suppor t this major project, while creating good-paying jobs and boosting
the South Jersey economy. I thank the Biden Administration for supporting this project and their dedication to families across New Jersey.” This project is funded under EDA’s $240 million competitive A mer ican Rescue Plan Travel, Tourism, and Outdoor Recreation program. EDA awarded $510 million in grants to all 50 states and territories in 2021. The two programs are designed to accelerate the recovery of communities that rely on the travel, tourism and outdoor recreation sectors.
Governor Phil Murphy: State Parks Free This Summer
TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy announced that, as of Memorial Day Weekend, entry to all New Jersey state parks, forests, and recreation areas will be free of charge this summer. Presented in the FY 2023 budget proposal, the one-year state parks fee holiday is one of several fee waivers and programs designed to advance affordability and opportunity in New Jersey. Park entrance fees will be waived for all visitors, regardless of state residency. Anyone who already purchased a 2022 annual State Park Pass will automatically receive a full refund. Other individual park fees remain in place, including but not limited to camping, interpretive programs, and mobile sport fishing permits. “Presented in our FY2023 budget, the bold steps we have taken toward a more affordable Garden State will ensure
access to our state parks for everyone – residents and visitors alike,” said Governor Murphy. “While incentivizing tourism and economic activity in our local communities, the fee holiday also promotes access to green, open space; thriving waterways; and the many natural wonders that make us proud to call New Jersey our home. We thank the Department of Environmental Protection for its devoted environmental stewardship, which enables each and every New Jerseyan to enjoy the physical and mental health benefits that safe outdoor activities provide.” C om m is sione r of Env i ron me nt a l Protection Shawn M. LaTourette also sha red news of t he st ate pa rk s fee holiday during the annual State of the Shore event in Asbury Park. With the arrival of the Memorial Day weekend,
Commissioner LaTourette kicked off the summer outdoor season this week with visits to the Jersey shore and lakeshores, including Hopatcong State Park. “From High Point State Park in Sussex County to Cape May Point State Park in Cape May County, the state park system provides endless opportunities for recreation – from swimming, hiking and kayaking, to picnicking, exploring nature and experiencing our rich history,” said Commissioner LaTourette. “Whatever your passion or interest, there is a state park in New Jersey for you. We look forward to a great season.” The New Jersey State Park System, comprised of more than 50 sites and 453,000 acres, draws millions of visitors each year and is a key contributor to the state’s summer tourism economy. Lifeguards at Island Beach State Park,
the only oceanfront swimming beach under the State Park Service’s administration, went on duty at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 28.

JACKSON – The Ocean County Police Academy held its annual Law Enforcement Memorial Service on May 20 to pay their respect to officers within Ocean County who have lost their lives in the line of duty. The Jackson Police department is represented each year by members of the agen-
cy as well as their honor guard to pay our respects for those officers who gave the ultimate sacrifice. One of those officers is Jackson Police Officer Robert J. Ventura #213. Members of the agency, to include Chief Matthew Kunz, paid their respects to Officer Ventura along with member of Officer Ventura’s family.
Officer Of The Year Banquet
JACKSON – On May 6, the Jackson PBA and Kiwanis Club were happy to bring back the “Officer of the Year” banquet which was unfortunately suspended due to COVID for the past two years. Recipients of this prestigious award were selected by a committee of their peers and recognized by the agency and members of the town council in front of family and friends. As a result of not being able to hold this event, numerous officers were awarded this award, along with a new award for “Rookie of the Year” which goes out to a newer officer who has stood out amongst his peers of newly appointed officers. In addition, several officers were recognized for their actions on outstanding jobs and commendable police service. It was

WHO:
Continued From Page 1 proposed U.S. amendments would strengthen requirements for reporting health emergencies. Member countries agree to abide by the guidelines, but the WHO does not have the power to enforce them, nor can it interfere in other countries’ decision-making processes, according to experts. However, Republicans have been saying that these amendments would cut back American self-rule. “They would not affect state sovereignty according to what they originally proposed but the new proposed amendments to the existing international health regulations along with a pending pandemic treaty which is being drafted right now would vastly expand the authority of the WHO,” Chisholm added. He said the amendments would threaten state sovereignty “triggered by the expansion of legal power of the CDC (Centers For Disease Control). We’ve already seen what these clowns can do over the last two years. Dr. Fauci should be investigated along with the rest of them and his ilk and they need to be in jail where they belong. “They can now detain and examine Americans solely on the statements of unelected WHO leaders. These are not people from the United States. These are not people who have any authority to stop or examine you or your health. The WHO and its members are immune to any liability from an international agreement so the American Constitution will not protect Americans when it comes to the actions of the WHO. There is no transparency and no accountability,” Chisholm added. Chisholm said, “they can track you and become a global health governance body which would undermine any of your health and security so you would have no rights before them and these bureaucrats would have the opportunity to check your health including stopping you from traveling.”
Promoted:
Continued From Page 1 Fire Christmas Toy Drive. The chief also spoke about Sgt. Wayne Olejarz who was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. He was hired as a police officer with the agency in 1997 and served as a patrol officer. He was promoted to sergeant in 2011 and was assigned to supervise patrol squads on the midnight and afternoon shifts. Lt. Olejarz has served on the department’s Special Response Team and the Ocean County Regional SWAT Team. He has also served as an assistant policy writer, firearms instructor, physical fitness instructor, defensive tactics instructor and has supervised the field training officer program and bike patrol. Sgt. Richard Bosley was unable to attend the swearing in at the council meeting but was represented by his son Jonathan and daughter Rebecca. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. He began his law enforcement career with the Jackson Police Department as a Class I Special Law En-
The councilman urged residents to “reach out to (4th District) Congressman (Chris) Smith and tell him to support HB419. None of the councilman’s statements about the amendments are true, according to an official who is closely involved with the amendments. Lawrence O. Gostin, who directs the World Health Organization Collaborating Center on National and Global Health Law and is an expert on the International Health Regulations, was interviewed by the Associated Press and FactCheck.org. He helped write the 2005 version. “WHO has no authority to dictate US health policy whatsoever,” he said. “The Regulations have no control whatsoever over national health care policy or programs. That is entirely a matter for the sovereign nation to decide. The WHO can make recommendations after the declaration of a global emergency, but they are just recommendations and are non-binding. States are legally bound to report dangerous outbreaks, but there is no enforcement mechanism and countries often do not comply. China, for example, failed to promptly report COVID outbreaks, which conservatives in the U.S. roundly condemned,” he said. The bill prohibits the United States from providing any assessed or voluntar y contributions to the World Health Organization. It has been referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs which deals with subjects such as diplomacy, foreign officials, Americans abroad, foreign aid and international relief and international affairs along with international organizations and cooperation of the United Nations and world health according to legiscan.com. “Call your Senators and I realize it is New Jersey and it will fall on deaf ears, however let them know where you stand and tell them no, to yet another bureaucratic overreach especially from the international community. This is America and we need to stand up,” Chisholm suggested. -Chris Lundy contributed to this story
forcement Officer in May of 1995. In May 1998 Bosley graduated from the SLEO II Class at the Monmouth County Police Academy and began working as a Class II Special Law Enforcement Officer. He was hired as a full-time police officer in December of 1999 and graduated from the Ocean County Police Academy. Bosley served as a patrol officer until being promoted to sergeant in May of 2015 when he was assigned to supervise a patrol squad. He supervised the agency’s Quad Patrol Unit. He was also a traffic investigator where he was assigned to investigate fatal and serious motor vehicle crashes in the township and also in Ocean County as a member of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Fatal Accident Support Team. Lt. Bosley was most recently assigned as the sergeant supervising the agency’s Traffic Safety Unit. “We wish the officers the best in their new assignments,” Chief Kunz remarked. Each member of council and Mayor Michael Reina also congratulated the three officers on their promotions.

New Art Exhibit At The Ocean County Artists Guild
ISLAND HEIGHTS – A brand-new art exhibit will be on display at the Ocean County Artists Guild this June. The show, which runs June 5 through June 28, will unveil two new solo shows as well as its monthly members showcase. Gallery one features the work of Manalapan-based painter, Joyce Wasseman. “Brush Strokes” is a new exhibition from
Joyce showcasing a diverse collection of acrylic on canvas paintings. In her first solo show, Joyce creates art that explores bold colors with many different themes inspired by the world around her. Joyce was raised on Staten Island but has lived in New Jersey for more than 30 years and spends much of the summer at the Jersey Shore. She also paints custom pet portraits, has participated
in the Belmar Art Walk and displays her art regularly at the Freehold Art Gallery. Gallery two showcases the work of iconographer, Suzanne Schleck. A retired public school art teacher, born and raised in Missouri, Suzanne has resided in New Jersey with her husband, George and two children for over 50 years. Suzanne began studying icon painting using egg tempera
and gold leaf with the Rev. John Walsted, from 1989 until his death in 2014. Suzanne’s work has been published in Episcopal Life and online with the Episcopal Church and the Visual Arts. Her icons can also be seen locally at Christ Episcopal Church in Toms River, as well as in churches throughout the country. Suzanne has taught egg tempera icon workshops at Kanuga Conferences in Hendersonville, NC since 2005 and at St. Stephens Episcopal Church in Richmond, VA since 2011, as well as workshops at Trinity Church, Wall Street in NYC, St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington, CT, the Gray Center in Canton, MS, and her own parish, Christ Church in Toms River. Celebrate the talents of these fine artists June 5 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Guild’s opening reception, or throughout the month of June at OCAG, 22 Chestnut Avenue Island Heights. For more information call 732-270-3111 or visit ocartistsguild.org.

Hearing Loss Can Impact Cognition
Research shows that hearing loss may lead to the rapid progression of cognitive decline. The evidence in the literature suggests that: • The slow onset of hearing loss can have a significant impact on several key brain functions, including the memory, hearing, speech and language portions of cognition. • Hearing impairment is a greater risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia than other individual mid-life risks. • The proactive management of hearing loss can delay or slow the onset or progression of cognitive decline. • Studies show the use of hearing aids can slow down the rapid progression of cognitive decline. Garden State Hearing & Balance Center is on the front line of promoting cognitive
health. We now offer a computerized test of cognitive function called Cognivue Thrive. This screening tool objectively and reliably identifies changes in cognitive function that could be indicative of an impairment that requires physician referral. In our opinion, driving brain health awareness and improving access to cognitive screenings are among the most important challenges of the 21st century. Although cognitive decline is a normal part of aging, early identification of underlying conditions such as untreated hearing loss will lead to appropriate management, thus improving cognitive health. If you would like to schedule a Cognivue Thrive screening, please feel free to contact our Toms River office at 732-818-3610.

OCD Drug Fluvoxamine Reduces Cytokines By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. We’ve all been hearing about something called a cytokine storm, and how elevations in various cytokines contributes to fatal outcomes with COVID-19. It’s not the pathogen per se, we can and do coexist with many organisms. It’s the flooding in the body of cytokines in response to the pathogen that causes symptoms and complications. The role of cytokines has been studied for decades because when they fall out of balance, you see exacerbation in symptoms, and this occurs for all diseases. Cytokines have a normal value, anything above or below will cause health challenges. Cytokines are not new, you hear of them frequently because we now understand that managing them is the key to staying healthy. The word “cytokine” refers to a protein that you make in your body. Cytokines are created by certain immune (and non-immune) cells and each protein has its own individual effect on your immune system. Some cytokines are known to stimulate the immune system to make it fight harder, while others slacken it to prevent self-directed autoimmune assault. There are various types of cytokine classifications too. We have lymphokines, chemokines, interleukins (IL), interferons and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). I don’t want to get too far away from the topic at hand which is fluvoxamine. So let me just tell you outright, that this drug is known to reduce certain cytokines and the strange part of all this, is that its real claim to fame is for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder! Noodle that for a minute! The the famous OCD drug reduces some cytokines, and therefore might help people with COVID
and long-haulers. It can reduce the amount of histamine that gets dumped from mast cells. Because fluvoxamine reduces serotonin from concentrating in platelets it can help reduce blood clot formation. This was noticed in patients taking the drug all the way back in 2011, and they had reduced risk of clot formation. Fluvoxamine is an orally-administered medication that was invented in Belgium in 1983 at a pharmaceutical company, and then later it became FDA approved here in the USA as Luvox in 1994. It raises serotonin in the human body like the SSRI drugs, but it is not FDA approved for the treatment of any infection, even though the Lancet published positive findings from the TOGETHER trial - this study is available online. The medication may cause serious side effects, the most challenging of which are seizures, cardiac problems due to low sodium (hyponatremia), suicidal ideation and insomnia. There are others of course, but these are most challenging to deal with. Furthermore, the medication interacts with a lot of medications, including popular ones such as warfarin, lithium, antidepressants and stimulants for ADHD. Nevertheless, many infectious disease specialists and neurologists capitalize on fluvoxamine’s lesser known (off-label) benefit to reduce cytokines! Fluvoxamine is not for everyone, please speak to your pharmacist and physician to see if it’s right for you. I have a longer version of this article in case you are interested. Please just sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll email it to you next week.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Magazine Ranks Dentist Matthew Sones Among ‘40 Under 40’
TOMS RIVER – Incisal Edge dental magazine recognizes Dr. Matthew Sones among the 2022 “40 Under 40” top young dentists in the U.S. For a 12th consecutive year, the nation’s premier dental publication celebrates brilliant young achievers in dentistry, ages 40 and under, with its signature award. Among the 2022 Incisal Edge “40 Under 40” recipients, are 40 women and 40 men from 24 states, including Dr. Matthew Sones. Fewer than 700 of America’s best young dentists have earned this prestigious designation, including the 2022 inductees. View the complete list at: IncisalEdgeMagazine.com. The magazine, published by Benco Dental since 1997, will celebrate award recipients through a series of profiles in its fall “40 Under 40” editorial coverage. As the cen-
terpiece of the print and digital editions: a photography portfolio created at a celebratory event in Manhattan this spring. “It is truly and honor to be recognized as one of the top young dental professionals in the country. At Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates our goal is to always deliver the highest quality care to our patients. This recognition represents years of hard work and dedication of not only myself, but also our entire team at Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates,” said Matthew Sones, DMD. The “40 Under 40” list includes innovative and passionate young professionals in dentistry across the United States. Hundreds are nominated by industry experts and vetted by an independent panel of judges who select the final honorees. In 2019, the volume of nominations resulted in an expansion of the awards to two categories, General Dentists and Dental Specialists. “Reviving the magazine’s in-person 40 Under 40 photo session after two years allows us to celebrate the top dentists in the U.S. with an event that matches their dynamic talent, vision and overall excellence,” said Terry J. Barrett, chief marketing officer for the magazine’s publisher, Benco Dental. “We’re thrilled to host the future of dentistry at a live event that captures the vibrant energy, glamour and style of New York City.”

Inside The Law The Need For Permits And Approvals When Selling A House
Marc S. Galella Esq.
PHOTO
OF THE
WEEK SHOWCASING The Best Of The Shore In Print & Online!
By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates If you are selling your house, you should be aware that many buyers are requiring the seller to provide copies of all permits and approvals that the seller should have obtained for any improvements that the seller made to the house and property. Many real estate contracts now require that the seller provide permits for all improvements made to the house and that the proper approvals were issued for the permits. The failure to have the permits and approvals may allow the buyer to terminate the contract or force the seller to obtain approvals or give the buyer a credit to do so after the closing. In addition to the buyer requiring this, some of the local towns are reviewing their construction records and requiring that the seller “close out” any open permits prior to issuing a re-sale certificate of occupancy. If you are selling your house, you should review what improvements you may have made to the house or property and make sure that you obtained the necessary permits and approval if the
improvement required a permit. It is not always clear what improvements require a permit. If you have any doubts, you should contact the construction department in your town and inquire as to what permits, if any are required. If you did obtain a permit for an improvement, you should also check with the town to make sure that the permit was properly closed out by way of a final inspection. Do not rely upon the fact that you hired a contractor to perform the improvement and presume that the contractor closed out the permit. If you are selling your house and did not obtain permits and approvals for the improvements, you may want to check with the town and see what would be required to obtain permits and approvals now. If you are selling your house and did not obtain permits for the improvements, and you do not intend to do so, you should discuss this with your real estate attorney so that the contract can clearly state that you are not obligated to obtain permits and approvals.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE CDC Expands Boosters To Ages 5 Through 11
The following is a statement from N.J. Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli: TRENTON – Everyone ages 5 and older who has completed their primary series is now eligible for a booster dose to further enhance their protection against the COVID-19 virus and its variants. The recommendation from the federal Centers for Disease and Control Prevention (CDC) to expand the Pfizer COVID-19 booster to 5- th rough 11-year-olds is especially welcome news
for parents who are concerned with ensuring their children have the strongest protections against COVID-19. The 5 through 11 age group is eligible for a booster dose five months after completing their primary series. With the uptick in cases and hospitalizations, I encourage anyone who is not yet vaccinated to get vaccinated today to help protect yourself, your family and your community. Everyone who is eligible for a booster or recommended
for a second booster should also get it today for a safer and healthier summer. The CDC also strengthened its recommendation that those 12 and older who are immunocompromised and those 50 and older should receive a second booster dose at least four months after their first. Vaccines have proven to be a safe and effective weapon against serious illness, hospitalizations and deaths. Our vaccination sites are prepared to incorporate this eligibility expansion
immediately. In addition, we continue to work to prepare for the anticipated roll-out of vaccines for those under age 5 once approved. For parents or anyone looking for more information on the vaccines or treatments or to find a nearby vaccination location, visit covid19.nj.gov. As a reminder, if you have tested positive for COVID-19, speak to your doctor or healthcare provider about antiviral treatments that may be available to you.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE BlueClaws To Host Free PLAY BALL Weekend Clinic
–Photo courtesy BlueClaws JERSEY SHORE – The BlueClaws, in conjunction with Major League Baseball’s PLAY BALL Weekend will host a free clinic under the lights at ShoreTown Ballpark on June 10 from 6:30 until 8:30 p.m. Players will receive entry-level instruction designed for players between the ages of 5 and 12. Registration is free but must be made online in advance of the event. To register for the clinic visit: jerseyshoreblueclaws.leagueapps.com/ events/3080623-pbw-jersey-shore-blueclawsplay-ball-clinic. Registration begins at 6 p.m. and the clinic will run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. PLAY BALL Weekend is a Major League Baseball initiative to promote the games of baseball and softball to youth across the MLB and MiLB markets. Youth are encouraged to learn more about the games and will be provided opportunities to gain new skills in a fun environment. Attendees will be split into groups and rotation among several stations. Stations include home
run derby, pop-ups and grounders, agilities, base-running, and a bat & ball game. “We’re excited to host PLAY BALL Weekend at ShoreTown Ballpark,” said BlueClaws team president Joe Ricciutti. “As a community leader, we love hosting community events like this one. We’re very much looking forward to June 10!” Select concessions will be available for parents/siblings to enjoy during the clinic. The BlueClaws are the Jersey Shore’s top stop for affordable, family entertainment. The team will reach the 8-million fan milestone later this summer. ShoreTown Ballpark was renovated in 2018 with the team adding boardwalk games, a ninehole miniature golf course, and Sand Bar, an open-air bar area down the left field line that also hosts live music at select games during the summer. Tickets to upcoming BlueClaws games are available online at BlueClaws.com/ Tickets.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of June 4 - june 10 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may be tempted to compromise your values in the week to come. When challenged to negotiate favorable terms, you avoid doing anything in the heat of the moment that goes against your integrity. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Stay on track. Someone may try to guilt you into ignoring your own insightful ideas. Don’t let anyone or anything divert your attention from working toward accomplishing your ambitions in the upcoming week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make headway with your ideas as this week unfolds. Take steps to insure you are known as someone who is persistent, follows through on promises and gets the job done. Remain crystal clear about your expectations. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You could underestimate your abilities in the week ahead. Having a strong partner may bring mixed blessings if you let yourself feel less competent by comparison. Focus on ways to make money and fulfill existing commitments. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Find additional benefits as you travel your career path. In the week ahead, you might enjoy improved working conditions or work on a special project that gives you lasting comfort. Follow the rules to keep a partner happy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might feel that someone is blowing off your concerns or taking you for granted. Rather than brooding over these things, support your own well-being. Focus on uplifting your spiritual practice as the week unfolds.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Help yourself with one hand and help others with the other one. Whenever you grow overly ambitious, remember you are part of a team. This week you may be called upon to help a coworker or sort out a compromise. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stick to your convictions even when someone else tries to stick holes in them. In the week to come, let other people know where you stand. Avoid offering advice on any subjects outside your sphere of experience. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Family needs may come first but ambitions are not far behind. Your job or a project may take up more time than usual in the week ahead. A partner can inspire you to work harder to attain material success. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You might be riveted on what makes things tick and how you can use self-knowledge to get ahead. The goals on your mind are entirely achievable this week because there should be plenty of people eager to help. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If plagued by uncertainty, focus on trusting yourself. It may be impossible to achieve perfection in the week ahead, but you can do your best. Face up to obligations and perform necessary tasks. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): One step at a time. Your imagination may be unleashed, so you might think there are no limits to what you can accomplish in the week ahead. Someone could be ready to remind you to take baby steps first.
