By Bob Vosseller JACKSON –As disturbing news continues to be reported about Russia’s unprovoked invasion of the Ukraine, area organizations recently came together to show their support for that troubled nation. Members of the Lakewood Estonian Association, Latvian Community of New Jersey and New Jersey Lithuanian
Community assembled for an evening of Baltic culture, solidarity and support. The fundraiser was held at the Lakewood Estonian House based in Jackson. The evening showcased cultural pride t h roug h d a nce a nd song. Speeches were given in support of the people of the Ukraine and noted the injustice they are facing.
Another cultural aspect of the evening’s event was the menu of food which included native specialties such as borscht (beet soup), st uf fed cab bage with potatoes, kielbasa with sauerkraut and pierogies, cepelinai (large potato dumplings) with sour cream, plus meatballs with mushroom gravy. The event began with
the American anthem and continued with the “Kepurine” a welcome dance by the Lithuanian folk dance group Viesala. Members included Livita Makseliene, Kamile Makselyte and Loreta Mastauskiene of Jackson and Simona Jasinskas of Toms River. They were each dressed in traditional attire. Makselyte shared her (Ukraine - See Page 14)
Established Leaders Win Primary Election
By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE As both political sides get more and more extreme every year, the trend was bucked in the primary election where established incumbents bested their challengers. The primar y race decides who is going to be on the ballot in November from the
two main political parties. This year, JerseyShoreOnline focused on some of the more heated races that impacted Ocean and Monmouth counties. The results in this article are based on preliminary counts. It takes weeks to certify elections. However, in each case, the margin of victory is so large
that there is no way to mistake the winner.
Split Republican Party Ocean County’s Republicans have been divided lately, which is dangerous for the party since this is the strongest GOP headquarters in the state. Former leader George Gilmore had been convicted of tax fraud but
was pardoned on President Donald Trump’s last day in office. By all accounts, he still holds sway in the party, if not in an official capacity. Frank Holman currently runs the county Republicans, but it is general knowledge that this will change. T he cou nt y committee is made up of scores of people from
each party whose job it is to field candidates. In the primary election, residents chose wh ich me mb e r s of t hei r neig hborhood would be on that committee. The committee will then determine the next leader. It is said to be between Gilmore and Sheriff Michael Mastronardy, who was

Realtors Oppose ‘Open House’ Sign Ordinance
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON –An ordinance that would require someone selling a home to get a survey and pay a fee to have an open house sign on their property was tabled during a recent council meeting. The ordinance prompted a number of people, most being non-residents involved in the realty business, to come to the podium to thank the governing body for tabling the measure. They were critical of the ordinance, calling it a violation of the
Constitution. They said it would impair their industry and homeowners seeking to sell their homes. They said that at most the ordinance could be revised or simply eliminated. Prior to the meeting, T he Jack son Times spoke with Ken Freeman from the Nexus Board of Realtors, who is also associated with the New Jersey Board of Realtors. “Look at Toms River, look at here (Jackson) now, everything is income generated for the most

Resident Asks For Help Against Speeders By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Drivers in a particular neighborhood are consistently exceeding the speed limit according to a resident who recently brought her safety concerns to the mayor and council. Resident Elzbieta Borowski of West Lake Court said she was very concerned about an ongoing problem of speeding on her block. She pleaded with the governing body and police to get involved. “I need your help,” Borowski said. “I have lived in my house here for 22 years and in the last year and a half, I have noticed on our street, that has a speed limit of 25 miles per hour, we have speeding drivers coming through. We are on a cul-de-sac. I went to the Jackson Police Department and asked for help. “My husband once reported a speeding driver and I filed a summons because one of the drivers passed a school bus that my daughter was getting out of and could have killed her,” she said. “You (Speeders - See Page 5)

Realtors:
Continued From Page 1 part. This would be a burden on the homeowner. There are things in there requiring you to get a survey. You would require a homeowner to get a survey in order to get a sign permit for a ‘for sale’ sign or an ‘open house’ sign? “As realtors we could put it on the homeowner but many times we do it as a courtesy. But
now the other issue is can we do the permit online or in person and do we have to submit the survey with it? The owners who already have it may not know where it is so they’d have to pay for a new survey?” he asked. Freeman also asked, “when you put up the sign are you going to attach the permit or put it into the window? The signs have to be placed somewhere based on the survey? On the property?” While the measure was tabled, it drew com-
mentary during the public comment period. Realtor Brian Hutchinson of Howell spoke to the governing body first about it saying, “in regards to the ordinance that has been tabled tonight, I am aware that you have contacted our friends at New Jersey Realtors and they expressed their position on that ordinance as well as the Nexus Board of Realtors.” Hutchinson said. Hutchinson said he was speaking for the approximately 1,000 real estate agents who
operate in Jackson. “We stand holistically opposed to this ordinance on two grounds. One it is Constitutionally protected free speech.” He cited prior Supreme Court commentary stating no impairment by the government should be made regarding communication and announcements on a resident’s property. “Placing a sign by a house is the most readily available form of free speech without impairment or burden by government. Therefore a municipality would be running the risk of violating Constitutionally protected rights of their citizenry that prohibit or limit free speech. “I want to highly encourage the council to reconsider passing this clearly and soley on that merit,” Hutchinson added. “If that isn’t enough there is a second issue we’d ask you to consider and that has to do with the federal fair housing law. In 1968, when we passed the Civil Rights law that dealt with the Fair Housing Act it was to protect people and do we discriminate against a particular class of people. “Jackson Township is incredibly blessed to have a very divergent culture,” he said. “We not only have people from different race and ethnic backgrounds, socio-economic backgrounds but specifically different religious backgrounds. “There is a large population of this community who practices traditional Hebrew faith, Jewish faith and inside that faith which you may not know, is that there is a prohibition outside the household to have a utilization of technology such as the internet,” Hutchinson added. He went on to say, “As you and I might be able to scroll down realestate.com or whatever it is to look at a property, that doesn’t happen in certain households because that technology is gone. That community relies on its ability to walk into a neighborhood and those signs in the yard are a way of making announcements that they intend to sell that property. So the unintended consequence of that ordinance would be violating their Fair Housing right.” Toms River resident Moshe Kalashini thanked the council for temporarily tabling the ordinance. “If passed this would be a burden on homeowners, sellers and realtors. I am hoping this council can sit down with the local realtors to tweak this ordinance.” Jacob Steinberg of Lakewood, a licensed real estate agent of 34 years, said “The hoops you require us realtors and homeowners to jump through is nothing short of tyranny. I do hope you reconsider the ordinance in its entirety.”

Speeders:
Continued From Page 1 are my last resort. I asked for police help for a traffic officer. I don’t know what else to do. “Maybe a speed bump or something because the street is unsafe and I am extremely upset. I have tried. I went to the police department a number of times and the summons I filed is from last October and is still in litigation because it has been postponed and the attorney representing him delayed it now until July. I need help,” Borowski pleaded before the governing body. “Please help the children to be safe. People are walking on the street and there are cars speeding over 50 miles per hour. This is two very small streets where this is happening,” she said. She added, “there is no reason for anyone to speed there. I don’t know what else to do. The police told me that I could file a summons against those that go past a school bus. I am afraid nothing will happen until there is a tragedy.” “I’m going to speak to (Police) Chief (Matthew) Kunz personally,” Mayor Michael Reina responded. “Then I am going to engage members of council with the Business Administrator (Terence Wall). You are not the fi rst complaint we received. During our last meeting, residents of Linden Drive complained about the same thing. “We are going to take this seriously and
The Jackson Times, June 11, 2022, Page 5 look into some type of traffic calming device. Some of the roadway widths are narrower and we won’t be able to put in…a device directing people to slow down and go around but we will go back to exploring speed bumps and signs. We’ll be asking Chief Kunz for a directive for enforcement,” he said. Mayor Reina asked her what the most common times were that she and her husband have been observing most of the speeding vehicles. “My daughter gets picked up in the morning so I notice it early in the morning,” Borowski responded. “Probably between from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and then again in the afternoon.” “Is it more in the morning or afternoon or is it equal,” Reina asked her. “I would say it was equal, especially as it approaches Friday, which is mayhem. It is unbelievable,” the resident added. Borowski noted some type of sign or notice posted about speeding in the vicinity. “It was there for about a week and then it disappeared.” Mayor Reina said that it was probably a digital traffic sign that “goes all over town. We have several of them and they are solar powered and we have cloudy days and they get moved. We are taking this seriously. We are sorry for the inconvenience and the scare. Our children are a very valuable resource and we want to take every precaution to protect them.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
e DitoriAl Renting Creates Poverty I see a lot of apartme nt s bei ng bu ilt i n nearby towns, and all I can think of is how every person living there is going to be paying money to someone else for years and have nothing to show for it afterward. My first Toms River apartment was $1,200 a month. That was 20 y e a r s a g o. I t w a s a two-bedroom unit not far from the Parkway. It was nice, relatively new, clean, and with decent neig hbors except for one (Everyone has one bad neighbor. If you don’t, it means that you’re someone else’s bad neighbor). I spent five minutes Googli ng apar t ments in Ocean County. There were a few as low as $1,300, but most were from $1,500 a month to $3,500 a month! That’s absurd. What kind of a nest e g g wo u l d s o m e o n e g row while t r ying to live there? How could you possibly save money to buy a place while p a y i n g t h a t k i n d of rent? Let’s go with $1,500 a month. That’s $18,000 a year. And you don’t have a thing to show for it at the end of that year. Or years. Instead, the person or company who owns your home is the one making all the money. An apartment complex might have 100 units a nd one ow ner. T hat one ow ner is r ich to begin with - and getting r icher. The 100 renters are getting poorer. They have no equit y, no future prospects for home ownership. This becomes generat ional. If you never owned your own home,
you don’t have real estate to pass on to your kids. So they are in less of a position to in turn p a s s o n a ny t h i n g t o their own kids, and this could go on forever. Keep in mind, this is renting an apartment, not a house. That’s another issue all together. Have you seen signs on the side of the road about people wanting to buy your house? They could be f lippers, but I bet they are LLCs looking to buy up property and rent it out. T h e p r o bl e m w i t h property is that you can either sell it, and make great money once, or rent it forever and make good money forever. Na t u r a l ly, t h e s e big companies choose the lo ng r a nge s t r a t eg y. Who cares if the people living there will never a f fo r d t o m ove o u t? They’ve got you under thei r thu mb. T hey’re creating a market where the only thing people can afford is their own apartments. Then, these two- or th ree-bedroom apar tments have some kids going into the school district, and then everyone’s taxes go up. In this way, an apartment complex actually costs money to every person in a town. The market is so tough r ig h t n ow t h a t p e o ple have to rent. The housing market is high again. I’m certainly not bla m i ng r e nt e r s. We all do it at some point. I’m calling out the rich p r o p e r t y ow ne r s for perpetuating the problem and the town “leaders” who are allowing it to happen. Chris Lundy News Editor
County Leaders Show Bias, Hypocrisy I read with dismay the recent newspaper article about the intent of the Ocean County Commissioners to use the influence and power of the Commission to support a Parents Bill of Rights. This action would clearly fall outside the mandates of the Commission and shows a lack of understanding about how curriculum is developed and implemented in schools. In addition, this action disrespects the work of teachers who would develop the lessons and materials for these new standards and school board members who are elected by the public. While I support the intent of the new standards to include sex education, lessons on tolerance, and school support for marginalized students, a discussion about the new standards is beyond the scope of your authority. Five years ago, I asked the Ocean County Board of Freeholders to write to Congressman MacArthur expressing concern about any legislation that would deny health coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. I was told that it would be inappropriate to do so since this was beyond your authority as Freeholders. I’m not sure what has changed. But to now attempt to curry favor with the most conservative
voices by inserting yourself into the debate about curriculum is misguided. We elect our County Commissioners to provide a wide variety of services but not to get involved in a debate about school curriculum. Lynda Fote President Ocean County National Organization for Women
Jackson’s Poor Finances I was upset in reading about how my taxes are going up again this year, just because the Town Council keeps spending. The town had to spend $9 million in savings for a budget. The total budget is $54 million. That means that 1/6 of the budget is made up of a one-time source of revenue. W hat’s going to happen next year? They gave us a tiny break this year and we’re going to get walloped next year. That surplus will not be there. The spending is going up by $5 million in one year. That’s an increase in spending of 10%. Where is that money going? Also, the town lost the lawsuit against the developer which means that more homes and private schools a re com i ng to town. All of this will raise our taxes more and more. Some of that big spending

budget is probably paying out from that lawsuit and the legal fees. The men running Jackson Township keep digging us further into the hole and all they do is pat each other on the back! Move out while you still can! Once councilman said that less than 10% of total construction is commercial. The rest is houses. That’s all of us. Where is the commercial construction? Where is the plan to bring more businesses to town? Where is the longrange plan on where the township is going? But by all means, keep patting yourself on the back, guys. Fiddling while Rome burns.

The Rights Of Children To Live Sandy Hook Elementary, Paducah, Columbine and now, Robb Elementar y. When is it going to end? When are we going to stop pandering to those who oppose gun control? Why are these misguided individuals being allowed to further the murder of innocent children in our schools? It’s time for Congress, the Senate and Legislature to stop letting these people literally get away with murder! Oh, so the “right” of some Americans to “bear arms” would be compromised? Boo hoo! What happened to the victims’ right to live? WHEN are we going to institute tighter gun control laws so that a deranged individual with an ax to grind isn’t given free reign
to go on a murder spree? When the 2nd Amendment was compiled (over 230 years ago), it was a right to protect your family and property. Sadly, it’s now become a “right” to murder our innocent children. It’s time to wake up, America! Wake up and do something! Dorothy Ascione Berkeley Township
Presidents Should Be Held Accountable Republicans and Democrats should be able to agree that no president, regardless of party, should be able to obstr uct and undermine the will of the American people or exploit weaknesses in our political system for personal gain. That’s where the Protecting Our Democracy Act comes in. If passed, it would prevent future a b u s e of p r e s i d e n t i a l powe r a nd cor r upt ion , i nc rea se t r a n spa rency, and ensure presidents of either party can be held accountable. Strengthening the guardrails on presidential power is just common sense. 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. No president should be above the law. That’s why I’m urging Congress to pass the Protecting Our Democracy Act. We must prevent future presidents of any party from abusing the power of their office. James Moore Freehold

Menendez: GOP Political Games Allow Chinese Spread Of Power
Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, took to the Floor to make a series of motions seeking the Senate’s immediate confirmation of the nominations of Mr. Leopoldo Martinez to be Executive Director of the Inter-American Development Bank and Dr. Monde Muyangwa to be an Assistant Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development. Both nominations, which are critical to U.S. efforts to counter Chinese malign influence, were blocked by Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kan.). “Given the significant economic, social, and development challenges in Latin America and the Caribbean, we urgently need Senate-confirmed leadership at our hemisphere’s most important multilateral development bank,” Chairman Menendez said about Mr. Martinez’s nomination, which has been pending for more than nine months. “The Inter-American Development Bank is essential to addressing these issues. It is critical that we have strong U.S. leadership at the bank… It is time for the Senate to act.” “Authoritarians across Africa have new tactics to subvert democratic movements. They have modern tools to silence dissenting voices. They deploy disinformation campaigns and sophisticated surveillance technology to stay in power. And from Mali to the Central African Republic, dictators are turning to Russian mercenaries for support,” Chairman Menendez said about
Dr. Muyangwa’s nomination. “Democracy advocates, human rights defenders, and civil society leaders across the continent are courageously working to realize their aspirations and goals. They need a reliable partner at USAID to keep up the struggle for democracy in their countries. And that is why we have to advance this nomination today.” “I’m going to be honest here. This is not really about Mr. Martinez, his experience, or his views. It is just another thinly veiled attempt to block another of the president’s nominees,” Chairman Menendez said. “And to do so at a time in which China is eating our lunch. The next time one of my colleagues gets up and talks about China, I’m going to remind them of the position that they have taken to block one of the critical nominees that could help us meet that challenge in the Western Hemisphere. “From the world’s highest per capita COVID infection and death rates - to the largest economic contraction anywhere in the world - Latin America and the Caribbean are still struggling to recover from devastating waves of the pandemic. “The region also faces historic refugee and migration movements that stretch across the continent. “And added to this, many of these nations must confront longstanding poverty and inequality as well as climate change and threats to the environment. “Given the significant economic, social, and development challenges in Latin America and the Caribbean, we urgently need Senate-confirmed leadership at our hemisphere’s most important multilateral development bank. “The Inter-American Development Bank is essential to addressing these issues.
“It is critical that we have strong U.S. leadership at the bank. Mr. Martinez brings decades of experience in the public and private sectors, as well as academia, and he will provide exactly that. “He has advised Fortune 500 companies and private equity funds. He has helped international businesses and non-governmental organizations, and he is committed to working with the Senate to support a much needed capital increase for the bank, which we approved as part of the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act last year. “This nomination has been pending for nine months. Nine months. It is time for the Senate to act. “Especially when we have China – and I know my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have spent a lot of time talking about China and whether we are strong enough to meet the China threat well. China is all over the western hemisphere making huge investments. I talked to one foreign leader this past week from the hemisphere. He said to me listen – what’s the U.S. offering? Because I’m being offered $800 million, 1 percent over 30 years. I’m not taking it, but at some point we need to have engagement in the hemisphere economically. That’s what the Inter-American Development Bank can do without costing the U.S. taxpayers money. “But for that you need leadership that is focused on getting the IDB to build the partnerships and programs that can help us have a presence to counter China in the first place and also to promote prosperity, security, and stability. “And for all of those of my colleagues who are concerned about the southern border, let’s get an organization that can help create greater prosperity and stability in the hemisphere and people won’t be fleeing from the circumstances. So I don’t understand why this has taken nine months, but that is what draws me to come to the Floor.” “The promotion of democracy, a key goal for
USAID, is threatened throughout Africa. “In just the past two years, there have been coups in Sudan, Chad, Guinea, Burkina Faso, and two in Mali. “Authoritarians across Africa have new tactics to subvert democratic movements. They have modern tools to silence dissenting voices. They deploy disinformation campaigns and sophisticated surveillance technology to stay in power. “And from Mali to the Central African Republic, dictators are turning to Russian mercenaries for support. “Democracy advocates, human rights defenders, and civil society leaders across the continent are courageously working to realize their aspirations and goals. “They need a reliable partner at USAID to keep up the struggle for democracy in their countries. “And that is why we have to advance this nominee today. Dr. Muyangwa is eminently qualified to lead USAID’s Africa Bureau. She brings extensive professional and academic experience in Africa. “A Zambian-born immigrant to the United States, she has held senior positions at the Wilson Center, the Africa Center for Strategic Studies, and the National Summit on Africa. “She was a Rhodes Scholar. A Wingate Scholar for her scholarship at Oxford. The valedictorian for her graduating class at the University of Zambia. “But here again, China is all over Africa in precious minerals and other precious materials, subverting nascent democracies by their debt-trap diplomacy. And where are we? Absent – because we don’t even have somebody who can focus on the hemisphere. A hemisphere that we should have gotten a lot more votes at the United Nations when we were pursuing the sanctions against Russia. But guess what? We don’t have anybody talking to these countries.”
$19.6 Million In Federal Grants Provided For Safe Routes To School Program From The Desk Of The
Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON - New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) officials announced $19.6 million for 31 grants under the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program. This represents the largest amount ever awarded for the program. Locally, the districts that received this funding are as follows: • Point Pleasant Beach; Pedestrian Safety and Bikeways Project - Antrim School and Sea Ave Areas - $380,000 • Stafford Township - $992,000 “The Safe Routes to School program
is a great example of how NJDOT, working with the state’s three regional planning authorities, helps our communities access federal funding for local transportation projects,” NJDOT Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti said. “These grants will provide resources to improve sidewalks and bike paths to encourage children to stay active by walking and biking to school.” The SRTS is a federally-funded program to increase pedestrian safety among motorists and schoolchildren. The program is administered by the NJDOT in partnership with the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA), Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) and the South Jersey Transpor-
tation Planning Organization (SJTPO). The program was created to encourage children, including those with disabilities, to walk and bike to school. The goal is to make bicycling and walking to school a safer and more appealing transportation alternative, encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle from an early age. Projects are designed to improve safety, as well as reduce traffic, fuel consumption and air pollution near schools. Of the 31 grants being awarded to local governments to make pedestrian safety improvements near K-8 schools, 22 grants totaling $13.8 million are within the NJTPA region, which includes Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Monmouth, Mor ris, Ocean, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union, and Warren counties. Seven grants totaling $4 million are within the DVRPC region, which
includes Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer counties in New Jersey and five counties in Pennsylvania. The final two grants totaling $1.7 million are within the SJTPO region, which includes Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, and Salem counties. Infrastructure improvement projects to be funded through this program include the construction of sidewalks; pedestrian and bicycle crossing improvements; on street bicycle facilities; and the installation of new crosswalks, school-zone markings, and speed-limit signs. Special consideration was given to applications that addressed equity by providing benefits to underserved communities, low-income residents, minorities, those with limited English proficiency, persons with disabilities, children, and older adults.

NEW EGYPT – On May 19, members of the New Egypt Volunteer Fire Company No. 1 and some officers went to the Ocean County Fire Academy training grounds to practice VentEnter-Isolate-Search. The tactic of vent-enter-isolate-search (VEIS) has been around for several decades. Its roots are securely anchored in East Coast firefighting. The original tactic of vent-enter-search (VES) was developed and perfected to allow firefighters alternative means to access and remove victims trapped in burning buildings. Many of the concepts associated with VEIS draw on the original skills and abilities that were developed with VES. Given the latest scientific research and the significant differences between the modern fireground and the firegrounds of the past, it has become necessary to update this rescue tactic.

Signs It’s Time To Upgrade Your Hearing Aid Technology You can usually tell when something needs to be replaced - your smartphone screen is cracked, or your vacuum smells hot. But what about your hearing devices? Here are five signs you need new technology: Malfunction: When you perform all the recommended maintenance diligently, but things are still going wrong, it’s time to consider new devices. If replaced batteries drain quickly or sounds remain muffled after a wax guard change, for instance, consider that a red flag. Occasional repairs are normal; persistent problems that resist troubleshooting aren’t. Change in Hearing: Your hearing changes over time due to age, exposure to noise, and health events. We can often adjust your programming to meet your new needs, but sometimes your hearing changes so much that you need a different level of technology. Costly Repairs: Replacement parts for older hearing aid models are often scarce, especially if the model is discontinued. Think of your devices like a car: If repairing them costs so much that it makes more sense to replace them, go ahead and spring for a newer model. The general rule of thumb is pay for the repair once, but never twice! Change in Lifestyle: When your lifestyle
changes, your tech might need to follow suit. Took up a sport? You’ll probably need moisture resistance. Switched from an office job to a job outdoors? You’re likely experiencing a different level of noise. Technological Advances: You might not realize just how far technology has advanced - with better filtering of background noise, the ability to pinpoint fine-tuning capabilities, and the option to stream sound from your smartphone to your hearing aids. High-tech hearing is just an upgrade away. What does dedicated hearing care mean to us? • We’re neighbors. We’re independent and part of your community. • We focus on you. We ensure we understand you and your hearing goals. • We educate. We help you make an informed decision. • We follow up. You get follow-ups, tech clean and checks, and reprogramming for the life of the hearing aids. Wondering if it’s time to upgrade? Contact us for a complimentary consultation and tech demo! Your hearing goals are our goals as well. We can be reached at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin)

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Are You Tall Or Short? Disease Risk May Be Related To Height By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
An interesting study was published in the June 2022 issue of PLOS Genetics and it has to do with height. Researchers evaluated more than hundreds of thousands of people to see if their height had any correlation with medical problems. The average height of a man is 5’9” and a woman is 5’4” so anything above that is considered “tall.” As it pertains to the study, the mean height of all the study participants was 176 cm (5 foot 6). Keep this in mind as you continue to learn how being tall impacts disease risk. What’s fascinating is that stature isn’t something that comes to anyone’s mind when thinking about risk factors. When someone is ill, the typical risk factors evaluated are your environmental exposures, as well as where you live, the kind of food you eat as well as weight… genetics, your family history of disorders and toxic exposures. But how tall you are never comes to mind. It seems like such an implausible claim! The difficulty is that height is not modifiable. Other risk factors are easily modifiable but again, being short, average in height or towering is not something you can change! Anyway, taller people apparently have a higher risk of peripheral nerve damage (neuropathy) and varicose veins, and lower risk of heart disease. This contradicts prior studies by the way. We’re seeing more and more Alzheimer’s today as the population ages. One trial examining about 500 people found that
men who are about 6 feet tall are almost 60 percent less likely to develop dementia or Alzheimer’s compared to those shorter than 5 foot 7. The same benefit holds true for taller women, however the correlation is not as tight. What about people of shorter stature? Research currently shows that someone below average height has a lower risk of getting cancer. In men, the risk of having prostate cancer are also lower if you’re below average height. It’s not yet possible to fully explain this, however, growth hormone levels play a role in the development of cancer. The information presented today is based on numerous studies and meta-analyses, so what I’m saying is not carved-in-stone. I just find it so engrossing how height is becoming a better known, albeit non-modifiable, risk factor for disease development. But why? People of shorter stature (like me!) have reduced telomere shortening and that’s a good thing. Childhood illness and exposure to pathogens plays a role, as does lifestyle factors, diet and genetics. Personally, I don’t think anyone should worry about their height. You can’t change it anyway. So while investigators continue to tease out our destiny based upon height, I suggest we all just focus on the modifiable factors instead. You can make changes to things within your control, and the tweaks you make now translate to life-long health and longevity, not only for you, but also for your children, and their children and so forth.

Elections:
Continued From Page 1 unopposed in his primary win. Ocean County Commissioners Jack Kelly and Virginia Haines won the primary, each getting about 28,000 votes. They are both long-established Republicans with deep roots in the county. They were challenged by Sergio Fossa and Toms River Board of Education member Ashley Lamb, who both got about 17,000 votes. They ran on the same America First conservative party with congressional candidate Mike Crispi, allying themselves with Trump and Gilmore. High profile political people with criminal backgrounds stumped for them, including Roger Stone (convicted of witness tampering and obstruction) and former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn (pled guilty to lying to the FBI about working with Russia). Crispi, Fossa and Lamb had been on the coveted Column A, which always provides more votes. People generally vote down a party line, without paying much attention to the names. So, it is unclear how many of their 17,000 votes were for them and how many were just for Column A.
Ukraine:
Continued From Page 1 view with The Jackson Times about the suffering in the Ukraine prior to their performance. “It is terrifying, especially for us, to see what is happening.” Ivan Khopity and his 3½-year-old son Maksym wore matching t-shirts that said “I Stand With Ukraine” and featured the flag of the Ukraine. They came out to support the event. “We live far from here. It was a one-hour drive. We are Ukraine. We want our kids to remember everything,” Khopity said. Master of ceremonies Vida Anton of Jack-
2nd Congressional District After the district was redrawn for 2023, it will contain Barnegat, Barnegat Light, Beach Haven, Berkeley ( par ts), Eagleswood, Harvey Cedars, Lacey (parts), Little Egg Harbor, Long Beach Township, Ocean Township (Waretown), Ship Bottom, Stafford, Surf City, and Tuckerton. Jeff Van Drew started his career as a Democrat, then switched parties to support Donald Trump against his first impeachment. His challengers said he wasn’t far enough to the right, but voters disagreed. Even though only a third of the votes had been counted by the day after the election, Van Drew many more votes than his opposition, John Barker and Sean Pignatelli. The 2nd District was redrawn to hold even more Ocean County towns – a Republican stronghold, which should make Van Drew a strong contender to keep his seat. The morning after the primary, 17,000 votes had been counted in his favor, and 7,000 of those came from Ocean County. 3rd Congressional District Come January 2023, none of Ocean County will be in District 3. Locally, it will just have these towns in Monmouth County:
son noted that proceeds from the admission fee would go to Ukraine relief. She added that some of the child performers that would take to the stage had already danced in East Brunswick and this marked their second performance of the day. Dance groups also included the Nadiya Dance School led by director Nadiya Lemega, the Ukranian ensemble Vodorhay Chernomaroshka from the Nadiya Dance School based in Trenton, the Georgian Dance Group, the Ukrainian Children’s Choir, Latvian entertainer Krister Leya and Simona Smirnova playing kanklés. “We are here together today in community in solidarity - for at this time Ukrainians are
4th Congressional District This district is helmed by Republican Chris Smith. He currently has Lakewood and Jackson – just the top of Ocean County. In January, that district will have Bay Head, Beachwood, parts of Berkeley, Brick, Island Heights, Jackson, Lacey (parts), Lakehurst, Lakewood, Lavallette, Manchester, Mantoloking, Ocean Gate, Pine Beach, Plumsted, Point Pleasant, Point Pleasant Beach,
Seaside Heights, Seaside Park, South Toms River and Toms River. In Monmouth, it has Avon-by-the-Sea, Belmar, Brielle, Colts Neck, Eatontown, Farmingdale, Freehold Township (part), Howell, Lake Como, Manasquan, Middletown, Ocean Township (Monmouth County), Sea Girt, Shrewsbury, Spring Lake, Spring Lake Heights, Tinton Falls, and Wall. This district has been safe for Smith, who has decades in office. By adding more Ocean County towns, it will be even safer for Republicans. In this county alone, he received about 21,000 votes compared to Mike Crispi’s 14,000 votes. Crispi is a podcaster from Seaside Park who called Smith a RiNO – Republican in Name Only. Smith’s conservative voting record, and his pro-life stance, and his faith, made him staunchly Republican for his many years in office. As the GOP gets pulled more to the right by vocal challengers like Crispi, Smith was painted as a moderate by comparison. In retaliation, Smith put more fight into this primary than he would have had to in the past. He made a lot of local appearances, and his advertising talked about going to battle against Nancy Pelosi and Biden’s agenda.
stripped of these God given rights, human rights to learn, to love, to grow and to be Ukrainian in each and every single way. This barbaric war has brought nothing but hell on Earth to a free people,” Vicar Ivan Kavoleff said before the Ukrainian anthem was played. Anna Maria Kukuraza, “the mom” of the ensemble Kalina, presented her group that shared “their gifts of Ukrainian culture through dance and their national costume. There is a very large Ukrainian community in New Jersey. We have schools, cultural centers and churches. Of the more than one million Ukrainian Americans living in the United States, over 73,000 have made New Jersey their home.” “Our culture is very bright and diverse and we try to preserve and pass along our cultural heritage to our children. Ukrainians are very hospitable people,” she said, noting offerings of bread and salt “which signifies that we wish you health and prosperity.” Estonian Consul General Kaira Kunka of the Estonian consulate, New York City addressed those assembled, “it should be clear to all of us that there should be no business as usual or no business at all until
Putin pays for his crimes against humanity. We are supporting the refugees who have already arrived in our country. We are doing all we can to offer them shelter and a safe environment. Long live Ukraine.” Tinton Falls resident Olena Lenczuk is a Ukrainian and she also attended the event to support those of her native country. “My parents came here after World War II in 1950. They lived through the invasions of Stalin and Hitler. Ukrainians, Lithuanians and Estonians have a common ground of what they endured during World War II. They faced the same oppressors. “That’s what brought me to be here. I know Ukraine will prevail. They can’t give up. They were a democracy and they want to be a democracy. They should be supported. They sent help to us during 9/11,” she added. Ukrainian speaker Marina Vlasiuk wore a blue and yellow a dress, her nation’s colors. “I want to say thank you to everyone. It is very important to our people. My mother and father are in Ukraine right now. Our soldiers are fighting right now. I thank you for supporting them and our people.”
Allentown, Englishtown, Freehold Township (part) and Borough, Holmdel, Manalapan, Marlboro, Millstone, Roosevelt and Upper Freehold. This used to be ranked as one of the most competitive districts in the country. After this redistricting, it will be safer for Democrats. Democrat Andy Kim is the incumbent and easily won the chance to represent the party in November. Republicans chose Bob Healey to take him on. He was facing Ian Smith, who rose to popularity as a gym owner who defied the governor’s COVID mandates, and then his history of drunk driving – in which he killed a teenager – came to the public. He also bested realtor Nicholas Ferrara.

AroUnD the JerSeY Shore Driver Killed After Veering Off Road
By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – Police are investigating a fatal crash where an SUV left the roadway, striking several trees near the military base. The crash took place at around 7:30 p.m. on June 5 on Route 547 near the entrance to the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. Police said lifesaving measures were performed on the driver, James Germann, 76, of Jackson, but he succumbed to his injuries at Community Medical Center. He was not wearing a seat belt. The 2020 Kia Soul was heading north when it drifted onto the dirt shoulder where it struck several trees, police said. When
emergency crews arrived, the SUV and a few downed trees were in the roadway. The following groups responded: Manchester Township EMS, paramedics from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, Ridgeway Volunteer Fire Department, detectives from the Ocean County Sheriff ’s CSI Unit and Freedom Towing. Route 547 between Ridgeway Boulevard and Route 571 was closed for several hours due to the investigation and tree removal. Sgt. Paul Bachovchin of the Manchester Police Department’s Traffic Safety section is investigating the crash with the assistance of Ptl. Michael Anderson.
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 fi rst 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 fi ne 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.

Inside The Law Understanding Automobile Insurance In The Garden State By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates New Jersey offers two types of automobile insurance policies that may be purchased: a Standard Policy and a Basic Policy. A Standard Policy provides liability, uninsured motorist, and personal injury protection (medical) coverage. A Basic Policy only provides personal injury protection (medical) coverage limited. Protect you rself a nd choose t he st a nd a rd policy. Liabilit y I nsu ra nce i nsu res you against claims made by others for the property damage or personal injury you cau se d wh ile ope r at i ng you r vehicle. Liability Insurance protects you from paying money to someone from your own pocket. Your insurance coverage will pay any monetary damage that you are required to pay to someone else but only up to your insurance policy limits. Choose your liability policy limits wisely. Most people choose liability coverage of $100,000.00, but I recommend choosing at least $250,000.00 of liability insurance. The additional cost is usually nominal. Personal Injury Protection coverage is also known as “PIP” or “No Fault” Insurance. The “No Fault” concept means that your automobile insurance will provide you with personal injury protection insurance (PIP) coverage regardless of fault.

you are covered. The “No-Fault” concept does not mean that t he ot her d r iver is responsible for your medical bills. Protect yourself and choose the standard $250,000.00 in PIP Medical Expense Benefits. Uninsured /Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UM / UIM) protects you against financially irresponsible drivers. Sometimes people operate their vehicles without insurance coverage or with only ver y lit tle insu rance coverage, like those who operate their vehicle with a Basic Policy which was discussed earlier. If you sustain property damage or bodily injury and the person responsible does not have enough insurance to cover your loss, then you can file a claim with your insurance company under your Uninsured /Underinsured Motorist Coverage. This coverage protects you and your family by providing additional insurance coverage for your loss, but only up to the policy limits that you choose. UM/UIM insurance coverage should never be less than your liability coverage. Most people choose liability coverage of $100,000.00, so your UM/UIM coverage should equal your liability coverage. At R.C. Shea & Associates, our automobile insurance attorney, Michael J. Deem. Esq. is here to help you with your automobile insurance questions. Please give him a call.

Donate Your Used Cell Phones For This Worthy Cause OCEAN COUNTY – Nancy Seibert has been collecting for “Cell Phones for Soldiers” since 2006. She has combined forces with Bayville based “Support the Troops Project,” led by Lloyd Mullikin since 2004, who mails these cards and packages overseas to our troops in harm’s way. Cell phones collected, in any condition, and are not reused but sent to a recycler. Cords and cases are not necessary. The profits are then sent to the organization headquarters in Massachusetts from which Nancy orders her free, true 60-minute calling cards. They are provided for those military who are unable to contact their families without incurring monumental
expense during their deployment. They also accept monetary donation for help defray the cost of mailing these boxes. Checks can be made out to the VFW Post 9503 with a notation in the memo “Support the Troops.” Checks can be mailed to Lloyd Mullikin, 307 Allaire Ave., Bayville, NJ 08721 or call him at 732-269-1397. It would then be a tax-deductible donation. To date, Nancy has collected over 23,000 cell phones and donated over 99,000 calling cards. If you have the name of a military member serving overseas, feel free to contact with their, name/rank and APO/FPO address and they will be happy to donate cards to them. She can be contacted at

AroUnD the JerSeY Shore 55th Annual Commencement Held At OCC
TOMS RIVER – Members of the Ocean County College community gathered on the campus’s Gateway Building lawn this past week to celebrate the Class of 2022 at the College’s 55th Annual Commencement ceremonies. The annual Nurses’ Pinning Ceremony took place on May 24, with graduating students from OCC’s nursing program receiving their nursing pins and reciting their Dedication Pledge. Graduates successfully completed a two-year course of study leading to an Associate in Applied Science degree in Nursing during December 2021 and May 2022. Approximately $30,000 in awards and scholarships were presented to graduating nursing students during the ceremony. OCC’s 2022 Awards Ceremony, held on Wednesday, May 25, recognized the outstanding achievements of graduating students with awards and scholarships totaling more than $75,000, made possible by supporters within the OCC community, community partners, and donors through the OCC Foundation. The events concluded on May 26 with OCC’s 55th Annual Commencement Ceremony. More than 1,400 students received associate degrees during the ceremony, which featured a keynote address from U.S. Congressman Andy Kim, Third Congressional District of New Jersey.
Dr. Jon H. Larson, President of OCC, welcomed the graduates and delivered the President’s Remarks. Father G. Scott Shaffer of St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, offered the invocation, and Gianna Mancuso, a graduating student from OCVTS’ Grunin Performing Arts Academy class of 2022, sang the National Anthem. Speakers included OCC Board of Trustees Chair Jerry Dasti; Dr. Lamont O. Repollet, President of Kean University; Commissioner Virginia E. Haines, Ocean County Board of Commissioners and member of the Ocean County College Foundation Board of Trustees; and Student Commencement Speaker, Hailey Sadowski, from the Class of 2022. OCC’s official Commencement programs, complete with all graduates’ names, awards and other designations, may be found at go.ocean.edu/graduation. Commencement Week ceremonies are streamed online on the College’s website (ocean.edu) and broadcast on Ocean TV20 via Comcast of Toms River and Long Beach Island (channel 20) and Verizon FiOS of Northern Ocean County (channel 24). Video for each ceremony remains available for online viewing and recordings will be rebroadcast through the remainder of the month. For full details, visit go.ocean.edu/ graduation.
Joint Base Training Noise Moderate For June By Alyssa Riccardi LA K EH U R ST – Joi nt Ba se Mc Guire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL) have released their monthly “Noise Level Calendar” for June 2022. So if you hear a loud boom, it’s the soldiers training at the base. Every month, JBMDL puts out a schedule so residents know when to expect mild or severe noise. This is to deter calls to local 911 dispatchers. The calendar is labeled with three different levels of noise: slight
noise, moderate noise and abundant noise. For most of the month, days are scheduled for “moderate noise.” Key days to look out for are: June 10, 11, and 12 which are scheduled for “high noise.” In addition, June 20, 26 through 30 are scheduled for “low noise.” Noise levels are subject to change without notice due to training requirements and weather, JBMDL said.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 11 - june 17 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Pay heed to suggestions from a reputable source that have the ring of truth. Avoid making major investments in the week ahead as they could be more trouble than they are worth. Focus on constructive activities. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may look for a way to cut or loosen the ties that bind in the week that comes. A brief spurt of popularity might tempt you to want more freedom in a committed relationship -- sit with this for plenty of time before you act. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Where you lead, someone may follow. You can be smart and businesslike without risking your friendships in the upcoming week. You probably have it all together whether you are dealing with business meetings or social gatherings. CANCER (June 21-July 22): When you are centered in your strength, you can respond rather than react to behavior and events. Focus on being understanding and guard against being triggered by other people’s choices right now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may stand out in the crowd in the week ahead. Someone could find your honesty and sincerity refreshingly attractive. Win points by using polished manners and make a favorable impression on influential people. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t sweat the small stuff. Minor irritations may be annoying in the week to come but loved ones can smooth out the rough edges. Consider that some risks are worth taking when considering the opportunity for big rewards.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When you do your best, you deserve a bonus or praise for a job well done so don’t let imposter syndrome make you hesitant about accepting accolades. A social situation may require tact and diplomacy in the week ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It is not necessary to stir the pot to get your way. Smoothly execute your plans with sensitivity and remain determined but relaxed in the upcoming week. Projects put together in a rush may prove troublesome. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Incorporate some new ideas into your old plans. You could get five minutes of fame from sharing an original idea in the week ahead. Keep your cool and take your time about making financial decisions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your most important asset is your reputation for following through on your promises. In the week to come, persist with creative changes that could make a success out of something you were ready to write off. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stay in your lane and don’t let yourself get drawn into controversy. Avoid misunderstandings with a partner in the week to come and don’t get your feathers ruffled if things don’t go exactly as planned. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can be sure you are on the right path when things run smoothly. In the week ahead, you could be flattered by kudos or a special gift as a token of someone’s esteem. A partner might provide some powerful insights.
