By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – After a two-year 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 (Parade - See Page 4)

A wreath was presented by Larry Pollin and Barbara Pollin Greger in memory of
George John Pollin who served as a major in the U.S. Air Force. Family members in attendance were Erin Pollin, Karen Pollin Storms and Robert and Julie Greger.

No New Inspection Station In Toms River
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – There’s a brand new sign on the side of a former DMV inspection station, but authorities warned people not to take it as a sign that the facility is re-opening. For years, locals drove to the inspection station on James Street on the corner of Route 9. Longtime residents will remember parking along James, waiting their turn. It didn’t have nearly as many bays as the current one on Route
70 in Lakewood, so sometimes you’d have to turn your car off while waiting. It closed some time ago. These days, the only cars parked on the road are most likely from the nearby Jamestowne Village apartments. But new signage on the old building turned some heads recently, making people wonder if there would be inspections here again. On one hand, people wouldn’t have to drive up to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle

Commission inspection station on Route 70 to get their vehicles inspected. But on the other hand, the roads between Hooper Avenue and Route 9 are already pretty busy with traffic, and this would add another high-impact site. “MVC maintains a facility on James Street in Toms River for the storage of furnishings and other materials used for MVC operations across New Jersey,” DMV spokesman William Connolly.

Parade:
Continued From Page 1 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 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 f lag 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 militar y suppor t organizations was the Disabled American Veterans Ocean County Chapter #24. They rode down the parade route in a large f loat. 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.
Many refer to Joseph Placente as “Mr. America,” a familiar and popular patriotic figure during Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Flag Day and Independence Day.
–Photos by Bob Vosseller Susan Gilham, left, and Karen Kelly stand next to Gilham’s vintage red Chevrolet truck at the Toms River Shopping Center parking lot on Route 37 awaiting their turn to take part in this year’s Ocean County Memorial Day Parade in Toms River. 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 first 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.

War:
Continued From Page 1 Skinner and Kevin Skinner in memory of Private First-Class Donald A. Skinner. Council President Anita Zalom, who served as host of the event, described them as “Lavallette sons who gave their all so that we may enjoy our freedom. We raise our voices, our thoughts and our prayers together. “The observance was moved to the last weekend of May in the early 1970s to give everyone a long weekend but nobody should forget the real reason for the holiday which is to reflect on the sacrifices of those who gave their lives. Here on the Jersey Shore, we mark the start of the summer season. A flurry of barbecues, beach time fun and relaxation we all enjoy, yet we must remember the solemn side of the holiday and pause to honor their memory,” Zalom added. She noted that Lavallette is a small shore community less than one square mile with a year-round population of close to 2,000 people but the two service members from Lavallette who died during the Vietnam conflict grew up in a community that had a population of just 500 residents. “George Pollin accepted a commission in the United States Air Force. His dream was always to be an aviator. George was shot down in April 1967 and five weeks later another classmate, Lavallette resident Donald Skinner, was also killed in action. It was at this point that Lavallette realized there was a war going on. For a small town this size to lose two men in such a short time was devastating for everyone,” Zalom said.
The Toms River Times, June 4, 2022, Page 5 Mayor Walter G. LaCicero also reminded attendees why they were gathered. “Today is not the day we thank those in the active military for their service. That day is Armed Forces Day…This is not the day that we thank those who previously served in the military, that day is Veterans Day, and that occurs on November 11. “Today is Memorial Day, the day we honor those who have died in military actions in defense of this country. The families of those who have died and those who are yet to die deserve the respect that Memorial Day is intended to convey,” the mayor added. Zalom noted those from Lavallette who died in service during World War I, World War II and the Korean War whose names are listed on the borough’s Memorial monument in the park. “For a town this small, we gave a lot.” Others in Lavallette who died while serving their nation include Harry Bloom, Adolph Kurmin, John Osborn and Martin Gavio. She also thanked Girl Scout Troop 239 and Daisy Troop 60104 for painting red, white and blue shells and placing flags along the walkway. She welcomed the borough’s new school superintendent, Lisa Gleason, who presented a rose bush to adorn the gazebo on behalf of the Lavallette Board of Education. A short parade took place from the Borough’s nearby firehouse to Memorial Park where the ceremony was held. The parade included the color guard, firefighters, Girl Scouts and Daisy Troop members. Wreaths were presented from various Lavallette organizations including the Regular Republican Club, Yacht Club, PBA, Business Association, School PTO, Seniors Group and
the Ortley Beach Moose #399. Councilman James Borowski introduced the ceremony’s guest speaker, Army Lt. Col. Scott F. Wyatt “who is in his 23rd year of service to our nation. He has previously worked for special operations, command central, Scott and his wife the former Christine Borowski have three daughters. I am glad he is here today to share some of his thoughts on this solemn holiday.” Wyatt remarked, “Memorial Day or Decoration Day as it used to be called is deeply meaningful for those of us that serve. When we go to honor the sacrifice and remember our fallen comrades and decorate them one last time, say goodbye, we try to make peace with it so we can go on and do our mission. “Those ceremonies mean something extremely different for our Gold Star families, the moms, husbands, the fathers, sons, daughters: It means their loved one will never come through the front door again. They will never celebrate another birthday party, experience the joy of graduation or an anniversary trip. Those ceremonies mean the beginning of a new life and one they have to come to grips with,” Wyatt said. He spoke about a recent conversation he had with a Gold Star mother who he asked, “how do you get through Memorial Day weekend?” Her reply to him was, “every day is Memorial Day for me. This weekend is different; family, friends, communities even our nation come together and remember.” He urged everyone to remember and to support those families who lost loved ones in service to the country. “They need our strength. Remember them in our own special way.”

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.

Thank You For Saving My Life
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. He’s on the same line as Lamb and Fossa (who are running) for county commissioner. They all talk about being your voice, the voice of the people. But they’re not. They’re the voice of George Gilmore. Have you seen Toms River Board of Ed meetings? That’s where Lamb and
Expand The Supreme Court This is a scary moment. According to a leaked draft opinion, the Supreme Court is preparing to dismantle abortion rights across America. As a result, twenty-six states could outlaw abortion, including 13 that have passed “trigger” laws to take effect immediately after the Court overturns Roe v. Wade. This news should set off alarm bells for all Americans. Our fundamental freedoms are coming under attack by a hyper-partisan

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

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

the only oceanfront swimming beach under the State Park Service’s administration, went on duty at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 28. Lakefront lifeguards are anticipated to be on duty in mid-June at nine swimming areas throughout the state park system. Park users may check the current operating status of their favorite swimming area at State Park Service’s website. The State Park Service continues to recruit lifeguards at all swimming areas throughout New Jersey. Salaries start at $17.50 per hour at lakefront beaches, while oceanfront guards at Island Beach State Park start at $18.50 per hour. Prior experience is not necessary, but candidates must pass running and swim tests prior to employment. Apply today by visiting nj.gov/dep/workinparks

The Instrument Test Drive is an opportunity for students to test drive a variety of musical instruments, meet teachers and students involved in music, and ask questions about joining band and orchestra.
The test drive took place during an open house at High School East, and was open to students in grades three through six and their parents. The Instrument Test Drive is a continuation of the elementary-level Play it Again, Toms River! program that started with a grant back in 2018. It’s helped future school musicians connect with their favorite instruments ever since.

TOMS RIVER – Each year, the Ocean County Math League provides students with an opportunity to compete in county-wide math contests designed by teachers and administrators. The contests are rigorous and designed to ref lect the New Jersey Mathematical Learning Standards and state assessments. To say these contests are quite difficult is, in fact, an understatement. Students have 50 minutes to complete 25 complex questions. Every question is open-ended; fractions must be reduced; and all unit labels must be specific and accurate to receive points.

–Photo courtesy Toms River Township By Alyssa Riccardi TOMS RIVER – Three small ducklings were saved after a good Samaritan discovered the helpless animals stuck in a storm drain in the Township. On May 25, a crowd formed outside of Town Hall finding ducklings trapped inside the drain. A resident ran inside Town Hall for help. Toms River Special Police Officer II Taylor Boschetti was on duty for security and provided his assistance for the trapped ducklings. It appeared that the mother duck had retreated to Water Street to attend to the rest of her brood and the three ducklings were left behind. Boschetti called over Toms River Animal Control and Senior Animal Control Officer Dave Matthews along with Rich Barbosa, manager of the Toms River Animal Shelter. Thankfully, Matthews was able to net the three ducklings in about 10 minutes. However, reuniting them with their family was an
even bigger challenge. Boschetti, Matthews and Barbosa were able to locate the mother duck and nine additional chicks in the brush behind the Horner House at the southeast corner of Water Street and Horner. They gathered all the chicks into a crate but the mother resisted capture. After determining that the mother would not be captured nor leave her brood, Matthews removed the chicks from the crate into a net and started walking towards Huddy Park and the Toms River. The mother duck soon followed, with Boschetti stopping traffic on Water Street for safe crossing. The family was happily united in Huddy Park. The flock followed their mother towards the river until she jumped into the river. Matthews and Barbosa helped the chicks into the river and together they swam away as a family. Mayor Mo Hill commends Matthews, Barbosa and Boschetti for a job well done. “Those are lucky ducks,” Hill said.

–Photos courtesy Dine On Us Keller Williams Shore Properties and Keller Williams Preferred Properties held a bowl-a-thon for Dine On Us which is a non-profit agency that supports active military families. By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER –An organization dedicated to feed veterans and members of their family received a nice donation through a special event recently. Dine on Us is a 501(c)3 organization on a mission to provide off base dining and entertainment opportunities “for our NJ Joint Base active military families who are not able to do so for themselves due to economic hardships,” organization founder and president Cliff Baker said. Baker noted that during a meeting with the American Legion Post 129, Toms River, “it was brought to the attention of Dine on Us that our active military families are on a pay scale low enough to qualify them for government assisted programs like food stamps and WIC.” “They were living in poverty prior to the COVID pandemic even with an additional second income. As soon as the pandemic hit, the spouse had to quit his/her job or quarantine off base for two weeks before he/she was able to return home,” Baker said. “Now that the restrictions have loosened, the spouses are still limited to work because the outsourced day care is still not allowed back on the base and the spouse’s professional licenses are not transferrable to the state of New Jersey,” Baker added. “Dine On Us was denied access to bring nutritious meals to the base, so we decided to find ways to get the military families off the base: either as a much-needed family night out, a long overdue date night, entertainment vouchers, a gas card, and groceries. These are all the basic liberties that
our active military cannot enjoy,” he said. There are 125 families stationed in New Jersey who need support. Mike Little, owner and broker of record for Keller Williams Shore Properties and Keller Williams Preferred Properties as well as board member of Dine On Us, took this Red Day opportunity to host a bowl-a-thon fundraiser. The firm’s Red Day event is held on the second Thursday of May every year when they close all 900 offices and 180,000 agents close for business to help the community in some manner. Baker said, “Dine On Us has also received a tremendous amount of support from their line of restaurant partners.” He established this connection and relationship through his 32 years in the food service industry with Singer Equipment Company. Each participating restaurant has agreed to give back a gift card of the same value for each one purchased by Dine On Us. This support allowed for Dine On Us to hit their goal of distributing over $32,500 worth of gift cards before Memorial Day weekend. Baker added that “once this gift card package is safely and securely in the hands of our active military families, Dine On Us will immediately start Phase 2 with a goal of another $32,500 worth of gift cards for a day on the beach, night on the boardwalk” which will include beach passes with umbrella and chairs, free parking, boardwalk rides and games, dinner, and a Kohr’s ice cream. For additional information on Dine on Us and to see a full list of participating restaurants, visit dineonus.org.

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 centerpiece 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.”

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.

Inside The Law The Need For Permits And Approvals When Selling A House
Marc S. Galella Esq.
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.

POLICE BLOTTER Toms River Man Sentenced To State Prison For Dealing Drugs
By Alyssa Riccardi LAKEWOOD – A 56-year-old man has been sentenced to 17 years in New Jersey State Prison for dealing drugs such as heroin, fentanyl and more, officials announced. John Williams of Toms River was previously found guilty of Possession of Heroin with Intent to Distribute, Possession of Cocaine with Intent to Distribute, Possession of Cocaine and Possession of a Compound of Heroin, Fentanyl and 4-ANPP. On November 10, 2020, detectives from the Lakewood Township Police Department Street Crimes Unit saw Williams along with a second individual in a parking lot between 2nd and 3rd Streets. The two were seen crouching behind cars for about 30 seconds, then the individual subsequently walked away. Afterwards, detectives approached Williams and smelled marijuana coming from his body. As a result, detectives seized 164 wax folds of a compound of heroin, fentanyl and 4-ANPP, approximately 17 grams of cocaine, a quantity
of marijuana, a digital scale, plastic baggies and approximately $1,250. He was taken into custody and brought to the Ocean County Jail, where he has remained since the date of his arrest. On May 25, Williams was sentenced to 17 years in state prison with an eight and one-half years period of parole ineligibility for possessing cocaine with the intent to distribute. In addition, he was also sentenced to five years in state prison for possessing of heroin with intent to distribute. The sentences will run concurrently, officials said. Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer acknowledges the excellent work of Assistant Prosecutor Victoria Veni who ably tried the case on behalf of the State. The Prosecutor is likewise grateful for the efforts of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Trial Unit, Lakewood Township Police Department, and Lakewood Township Police Department Street Crimes Unit, for their collective assistance in bringing Williams to justice.
Crash Brings Wires Down On Major Intersection
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – A tractor trailer brought utility wires down on the intersection of Hooper and Bay avenues at around 10:45 a.m. on May 26, police said. Roberto Olivasmorales, 39, of Hillside, was driving the truck south on Hooper, heading onto the ramp to go east on Bay. The trailer struck a low-hanging Verizon fiber optic line, bringing it down on the hood of a vehicle that was near the intersection.
The incident caused three small fires that were put out by the Toms River Fire Company and New Jersey Forest Fire Service, police said. Crews from Verizon and JCP&L repaired the wires. The tractor trailer was a standard size, so police presume that the Verizon line was low or sagging for an unknown reason when it connected with the truck. There were no reported injuries and no charges were given.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE 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.

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.

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 fed-
eral Centers for Disease and Control Prevention (CDC) to expand the Pfi zer COVID-19 booster to 5- through 11-yearolds 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 fi rst. (CDC - See Page 27)

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.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE You’ll Never Be Left High And Dry As Long As Dr. Choxi is By Your Side By Michael Vandenberg “There’s always some kind of suppor t available,” for patients struggling with pain, Dr. Sarah Choxi told me in a recent discussion. If you, like many of Garden State Medical Center’s new patients, have been told by other doctors that nothing could be done to alleviate your suffering, it’s time to think again. When you combine the vast treatment options available at GSMC with Dr. Choxi and the rest of their pain management specialists (including founder Dr. Dharam Mann), that negativity simply doesn’t stand a chance. After all, her interest in helping people has driven her throughout her education and career. She decided to specialize in anesthesiology and interventional pain management because she saw how much those fields could change lives. “It was a way to help patients improve quality of life,” said Dr. Choxi. “It can be really difficult for people when they have pain to go through their normal day by day activities. So it was really impor tant to me as a medical student, later on as a resident, and now as an attending to be able to restore their function and have very independent lives.” People who have conditions that can’t be solved or are difficult to solve deserve the ability to be happy and painfree. Formerly at the Universit y of Chicago, Dr. Choxi was drawn to GSMC’s same focus, as well as the innovative tools it has to make it happen. “It’s a very multi-dimensional perspective on man-
aging pain,” she said. Their solutions include medication manage ment, injections, spinal cord stimulators, and countless others that have been proven safe and effective. Oftentimes a combination of techniques works best. “Patients aren’t cookie cutter. They’re very unique and individual. So I think you need to have a plan in place that caters to their specific needs.” Garden State Medical Center has always been on the cutting edge, so it’s only natural for them to have so much under their umbrella. If Dr. Choxi thinks you need to see a rheumatologist, don’t start looking at next month’s calendar; you can see one of her rheumatologist colleagues in-house in a matter of days. She’ll probably even share her notes with them on their stateof-the-art electronic database, which will also help you to stay informed about your own care. Being in-the-know about the options available to you is an important part of the culture at GSMC. Dr. Choxi remembers one patient in particular who was desperate for answers. She had heel surgery and, although When she saw the pa- granted. Recently she it had physically healed, tient, she told her, “No went to a flea market with she was still feeling a matter what, we’ll fig- her husband and could ton of pain. Unfortunately, ure this out together.” Dr. actually just walk around the surgeon had been Choxi gave her options: for a couple hours and enjoy herself. Previously, dismissive, telling her five to be exact. The patient decided anything longer than ten that there was no reason to go with minutes used to be una n i n j e c - bearable. “I’m finally able tion called to just enjoy the weather a s y m p a - outside,” the patient told thetic nerve her. “I’m so glad that you block, and could give me options j u s t l i k e and I know that I can t h a t s h e trust you.” Trust in a doctor gives for her to be feeling dis- achieved 90 percent recomfort. “She felt a little lief. It was a life-changing patients the courage to pushed around by him difference, giving her pursue the treatment and sort of just pushed the ability to experience they feel most comfortout the door,” Dr. Choxi basic joys again in ways able with. Luckily, after remembered her saying. lots of people take for Dr. Choxi gives you the
most effective and safest options, she’s happy let you make the ultimate choice. Unfamiliar with how some of these methods work? She’ll happily go over everything with you at length and answer any questions. In addition, GSMC has models in every room to help patients visualize what doctors are describing. There are even televisions in all the offices with videos that give patients a full rundown of procedures and illustrations on how they’re performed. It ’s all bec ause Dr. Choxi’s patients “know
that they ’re going to get the care they de serve”. To get started, call 1-888-376-2661 today to schedule an appointment, or feel free to visit gsmedicalcenter. org to learn more on the procedures Garden State Medical Center provides. Dr. Choxi currently practices at 780 Route 37 West, Suite 110 and 1314 Hooper Avenue, Building B, Suite 101 in Toms River; 1100 Route 70, Entrance A in Whiting; 1608 Route 88, Suite 102 in Brick; and 100 Route 36, Suite #1K in West Long Branch.
