Apartment Building Plan Pulled
In This Week’s Edition
By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – A plan to build a two-story apartment building on Union Avenue was pulled before a vote was taken by the Borough Land Use Board. An empty lot on 117 Union Avenue was the site for the proposed project. It falls between a funeral home and a building that houses a laundromat and donut shop. By borough code, the downtown business district allows for the second floor of a business to have apartment rentals but not the first floor, which is left for business space. The plan proposed only apartments. Based on comments by the Board and testimony from the public, the application would most likely have failed. The applicant, 117 Union Rd LLC, was represented by attorney Salvatore Alfieri and professional planner Brian Flannery during the session which featured six voting members

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 primary race decides who is going

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 cur-

Clean Communities Grants Given Locally
By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE – Several local towns have received Clean Communities Grants from the state that will be used to clear litter, making areas safer and nicer places to live. The funding comes through the State Department of Environmental Protection. A total of $21.4 million is being distributed statewide, an increase of $700,000 over last year, Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette said.
The money is generated by a user fee on manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributers that produce litter-generating products. The nonprofit New Jersey Clean Communities Council oversees the reporting requirements for the program.

and an audience of around 10 people. Alfieri called for the application’s continuation. This allows for a new concept to be presented before the Board next month. The application did not involve a presentation of a site plan because first the developer needed a use variance. This means approval to build something that wasn’t allowed. They wanted a two-story building with apartments on each floor. They would have one to two bedrooms. Land Use Attorney Richard Stanzione stressed that the current borough ordinance allows for apartment rentals on the second floor but not the first floor.

decides if it is a negative or positive impact.” Board member Kori Brennan agreed with Burton that such a move to allow two story residential units in the business district “was a possible detriment to business.” “You are in the middle of the business zone. I don’t think any empty nesters are coming to Lakehurst,” Burton said. Resident Karen McPartlin said during the public comment period that “I’m a realtor and to lose those two business spots would not be in the best interest of town. Business will bring more people in.” Ingrida Seduikis felt the proposed structure would be too close to her apartment building if approved. Another resident pointed out that “you can’t limit who you rent to. They may or may not have children. I’d like to see it stay to what it was meant to be.” Patrick McPartlin said, “I’m not anti-development but I think this is the wrong use. It sounds like a hotel and I think we can agree there would more than just empty nesters here.” Moments before a vote could be taken, Alfieri asked the Board to carry it to another meeting in order to present an alternate plan. “You have the right to allow that or not,” Stanzione told Board members. Burton said the Board would grant it and “give them one more crack at it.” The Board will hear a revised application during its July 25 meeting. Mayor Harry Robbins and Council President Steven Oglesby stepped down from the dais at the start of the application hearing.

affordable housing obligation requirement. Flannery added that a buffer would not be necessary and that two stories of apartments made sense. “We’ll have plans drawn up and landscaping will be done to meet the character of the neighborhood,” the engineer said. He added that lighting for security would be shielded from neighbors’ view and that apartment tenants would separate recycling from their trash. Flannery pointed out the residential apartment building already existing behind the property. Flannery added, “Lakehurst is pretty well developed. This would be an appropriate market.” Land Use Board member Sidney Hooper took exception to that remark saying Flannery was “promoting an opinion as their representative.” Stanzione however said that as Flannery was a “recognized professional planner, they have the right to present a professional opinion.” Flannery told the Board that there would be no significant traffic impact were the variance permitted and the apartment complex allowed to be built. Land Use Board Chair David Burton expressed that the borough’s business district was limited and he had concerns about “eliminating part of it in the middle of the zone.” He also voiced concerns about future applications that could come before the Board as this application could set a precedent if passed. Stanzione reminded him that, “every application is to stand on its own. The Board

Flannery, a licensed professional engineer based in Jackson and the applicant’s only witness, said “we are targeting empty nesters” but acknowledged that the units would have to be available for rental to anyone. “The property is on Union Avenue to the rear of Pine Street and across from the intersection of a church. Looking at the floor plan of the two-story building, 2,000 square feet with eight apartments, three of them would be one-bedroom apartments, at 600 square feet and two-bedroom apartments allowing for a room for someone to come visit or in the unlikely event that a young couple is blessed with a child.” The two, two-bedroom apartments would be 800 square feet.

Continued From Page 1 members of their neighborhood 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 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. 2nd Congressional District After the district was redrawn for 2023, it will contain Barnegat, Barnegat Light, Beach Haven, Berkeley (parts), Eagleswood, Harvey Cedars, Lacey (parts), Little Egg Harbor,
The Manchester Times, June 18, 2022, Page 5 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. Van Drew received many more votes than his opposition, John Barker and Sean Pignatelli. The 2nd District was redrawn to hold even more Ocean County towns. Since Ocean is a Republican stronghold, it 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: 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.
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.

Joint Base School Liaison Specialist April Boatner-Allen said, “this is really about focusing on at-risk youth. These students that are coming may not have had this opportunity to engage with STEM fields anywhere else which is why it’s important to have this program here at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.” The base has created community partnerships with the local school districts of Pemberton and North Hanover in Burlington County as well as Manchester and Lakehurst in support of the STARBASE program, along with an additional partnership with the Camden Dream Center. Community partnerships like STARBASE are said to encourage local agencies and the military community to connect and empower the youth with STEM knowledge. Boatner-Allen said the goal of STARBASE is “to ignite the passion for STEM. It’s also helpful for our students to understand that the sky is not the limit.” Twenty-five hours of STEM instruction is provided to students during the five-week program. They integrate various learning experiences with the exploration of STEM-related careers on and off base. For additional information about the STARBASE program visit dodstarbase.org.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
E DITORIAL Trial Of The Century I saw the headline on a supermarket tabloid proclaiming that the Johnny Depp/ Amber Heard case was the “Trial of the Century.” Honestly, I didn’t even know they were married until this whole thing started. I don’t entirely know what the trial is about. And I don’t particularly care. It made me think how can this be the “Trial of the Century” when there’s literally a trial going on about the Jan. 6 insurrection? Surely, the results of that trial will be a bigger deal. It could change the path of politics. It could change the way the media covers elections. It could change who is even still in office – or who could be able to run – at the end of this. Or not. Honestly, the way things are going, nothing might happen. The 24-hour news cycle will be on to the next big thing and no one will care. We’re exhausted by the constant bad news and no one will want to hear about it after a while. Even if people are convicted they won’t get more than a slap on the wrist because they’re rich and powerful. I’m not watching that trial either. I get bits and pieces of it through social media. I think some people are learning a lot about what powerful people did behind closed doors leading up to that day. To some of them, it’s actually news. To the rest of the pop-
ulation, it’s not surprising. Whether you think Trump and company were guilty or innocent – that’s not likely to change by watching the trial. It’s not like there’s anyone in America who doesn’t already have an opinion on the insurrection. This trial will just make your convictions even deeper. However, some people might care more about who plays Grindelwald in the next Harry Potter movie or Mera in the next Aquaman movie. Those minor things might actually impact their lives. At least they think so. I’ve said it before: pop culture is our only culture. That’s the only thing we have to talk about sometimes. That’s how we find our friends. That’s what we talk about at the water cooler. That’s a (usually) safe topic when you don’t agree with someone’s politics. Then again, maybe I’m giving too much thought to a tabloid. It certainly doesn’t deserve that much brain power. If they want to call Depp and Heard the “Trial of the Century” then fine. I guess we’re on to the next “Trial of the Century,” which was what they called the Sacco and Venzetti murder trial, which I include here just in case any of my former history teachers are reading.

Oil, Greed, And Sacred Cows We actually export more oil than we import. In addition, we only imported a mere 2% from Russia. Thus the loss of Russian oil would not really have much legitimate impact on fuel prices. However, the profits of Exxon, BP and the other giant fuel producers are currently off the charts. These giant fuel producers know that almost everything in the U.S. is shipped via diesel burning trucks and cargo ships; so they disproportionately engineered the price increase of diesel. The consequent increased cost of shipping has engendered runaway price increases on almost everything else and is destroying our national economy. Fossil fuels, big insurance, big banks and pharmaceuticals now have the biggest influence on our government. We have no serious campaign finance regulations. The Supreme Court ruled that corporations are actually “persons” and their huge political campaign contributions (de facto bribes) are actually a manifestation of these “persons’” freedom of speech, putting the final nail in the coffin of democracy. Back in the days of Teddy Roosevelt, the railroads wielded the most political power, and most of the goods in this country were shipped by rail. Railroad workers were severely underpaid and went on strike. The powerful railroads refused to negotiate with the workers, and the country was feeling the impact. Roosevelt threatened the railroad oligarchs that if they did not negotiate in good faith and come to a fair settlement, he would nationalize the railroads. Of course, the railroads quickly settled with the workers. In the 1970s, a manufactured oil shortage triggered the exponential increase in fuel prices causing runaway inflation endangering our economy. A humongous fleet of oil tankers were anchored off New York east of the Narrows (waiting for the exponential increase in fuel prices to land). Fortunate-
ly, the government recognized the ruse; and President Carter hit the giant fuel producers with a multi-billion-dollar windfall profit tax. Big fuel recognized the jig was up and prices stopped rising. There are currently bills proposed in both houses of Congress to initiate a windfall profit tax. Unfortunately, these bills are opposed by all Republicans and some Democrats. This is serious. Unbridled greed is destroying our economy and threatening our national security. For too long the oligarchs have used capitalism as an unchallengeable sacred cow to justify their greed and treasonous behavior. Teddy and Jimmy had the rare courage to challenge that sacred cow. Will anyone have the guts to step up to the plate on behalf of the American public? The time has long past to make exceptions to the sacred cow with a little pragmatism, courage and common sense. However, the media has long reinforced an unquestionable faith in the sacred cow; and too many have enbibed the Kool Aid. Nevertheless, as a hopeless optimist; I have no choice but to hope for another Teddy or Jimmy. John ODonnell Brick
The World Is In His Hands I was recently accused of being too apathetic regarding world events. It’s not apathy; it’s trust and belief in Jesus, my Lord and Savior. I’ve been told we need to fight the government. Why? Jesus didn’t. When He was on trial, He did not fight back or defend Himself. Why? Because He knew that in the end, He would win. To me, it doesn’t matter what the Democrats and Republicans say about each other, or what world governments are doing. Why? I know that Jesus will trump it. I have total trust in Jesus; He’s got this. Whatever we could do, He can do a thousand times better! Instead of driving
myself crazy over what the world is doing, I’m trusting in what Jesus is doing. In the words of Reba McEntire, we need to “Give this world back to God.” We all need to take a step back and just breathe. In the end, when Jesus returns, it’s not going to matter what gas prices were, or what the President is guilty of. We’re not even going to remember! We’ll just bathe in the glory of our Lord! Jesus is in total control, and that’s all I really need to know. Do I sometimes wish He’d tell me what His ultimate plan is? Of course I do! However, it doesn’t work that way. So, while many others are getting bogged down in their outrage and plotting how to get even with whomever or whatever, I’m trusting in Him. No matter what may happen, I know that with Jesus by my side, I can’t lose. Everyone, please just relax and look up. Jesus is coming, and when He does, our world will be changed forever. For the better. Stephanie Brown Jackson
Yes, We Do Need A Mental Health Checkup Assistant News Editor Bob Vosseller’s 6/4/22 Editorial is what needs to be said in every paper in America. `Maybe We All Need a Mental Health Checkup` could not be more on target. Today, in a frazzled, frenzied & fear-mongered society, we all know someone who needs some treatment or care for their mental health. And, if we are truly open to trying to deal with our collective mental/emotional and overall wellbeing ... some of us will be fortunate enough to recognize that the person staring back at us in our mirror ... is ... one ... of ... those... people! Vosseller’s very real-life experiences tell us something that many of us already know and, most of us have - very unfortunately - witnessed, also. Bob is simply describing everyday life. Yet, everyday life in a Buffalo, N.Y. grocery/
supermarket; or in a San Antonio, TX - area elementary school; or in a Tulsa, OK medical center is where people’s mental wellbeing/ their stressed-out persona and, their (increasing at an alarming rate) propensity to go on a killing spree is amassing against a civilized society just way too gosh-darn-fast. Just turned 70; a life - to date of repetitive cycles of highs and lows; sometimes in bad health/ sometimes pretty good if I do say so, about myself. But, as I look ahead at the road before me ... much, much shorter than roads-already-travelled. I applaud Bob Vosseller and Micromedia Publications for saying what every newspaper in America needs to be saying. Arthur J. Grisi Berkeley
Pass The Protecting Our Democracy Act According to recent polling, 84% of voters - Republicans and Democrats alike - agree that no president, regardless of party, should be able to obstruct and undermine the will of the American people or exploit weaknesses in our political system for their personal gain. In our polarized politics, that bipartisan support is a huge deal. So what can we do to protect our democracy from presidential corruption? Pass bold legislation like the Protecting Our Democracy Act. 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 public office for personal gain, they’d go to jail. So why should the president be allowed to act with impunity? 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. Judith Martin Toms River

Lawmakers: Pop-Up Parties Should Be Classified As Riots CAPITOL COMMENTS
to address the public safety concern. The bill S-1206 expands the defi nition of a riot and en hances penalties for 10th Legislative District certain crimes committed during a riot. In addition, Senator Jim Holzapfel • Assemblyman Greg McGuckin • Assemblyman John Catalano the bill creates new crimes of mob intimidation and TRENTON – In an effort to stop “pop up cyber-intimidation by publication. Many of parties” at the source and penalize those these “pop up parties” are circulated and who promote, and attend, Senator Jim gain popularity on social media platforms Holzapfel and Assemblymen Greg Mc- such as Tik-Tok and Instagram. Guckin and John Catalano have sponsored “The events in Long Branch were a clear legislation to protect tourists, residents picture that local law enforcement needed and businesses at the Jersey Shore. The reinforcements to control a crowd of that 10th District Legislators point to Governor size,” said Senator Holzapfel. “Underage Murphy and the Attorney General for their drinking, vandalism and drug use were all lack of action to assist local law enforce- on display with very little consequences to ment prior to these chaotic events, and those in attendance. We have heard from request a coordinated plan be implemented countless residents and business owners
who fear for their safety. We are urging Governor Murphy and the Attorney General to assist with additional law enforcement to protect our shore communities in an event of a riot.” The legislators believe current laws and penalties are not strong enough to discourage partygoers from attending. They are urging their colleagues in Trenton to pass their bill and address the growing public safety concerns of both tourists and residents of the Jersey Shore. “We stand with our local mayors and public officials and call on our Governor to properly equip our small shore municipalities with the resources they need to protect the general public,” continued Assemblyman McGuckin. “There is no reason that any town should have such influx of teens and young adults looking for a good time, especially, if they are promoting this event
via social media.” In 2020, a similar party drew hundreds of young people to Point Pleasant Beach which led to destruction of property and chaos on the beaches and boardwalk. The legislators believe that without harsher punishments there is no fear of consequence for public underage drinking and drug use. “This has become a serious public safety issue where all levels of government need to be involved to protect our residents. Riots, such as the one we saw in Long Branch, will continue to have a ripple effect on the tourism industry at the Jersey Shore,” added Assemblyman Catalano. “Residents and vacationers will fear for their safety on our boardwalks and beaches and the business owners will suffer the consequences unless our Governor steps up and addresses this issue head on.”
Menendez Bill Would Give Gulf War Vets Better Health Care Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) called on his Senate colleagues to pass major bipartisan legislation to expand health care and benefits to more than 3.5 million veterans across the country who were exposed to toxins while serving
in the military. The Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act, or PACT Act, includes the Senator’s Improving Benefits for Gulf War Veterans Act, which will expand access to essential benefits for veterans who served in the Gulf War and other wars in the region. The PACT Act will address illnesses from exposure to toxic burn pits and expand presumptions related to Agent Orange exposure. The Senator’s provisions
will also extend to veterans who served in wars in the Gulf and who have experienced unexplained chronic symptoms known as the “Gulf War Illness,” which can include symptoms of fatigue, joint pain, memory loss, insomnia, and respiratory disorders. Exposure to pesticides and other toxins have been linked to these symptoms. “For me, honoring our veterans goes beyond recognizing them for their service - it’s about living up to our commitment to serve those who so selflessly served us,” said Sen. Menendez. “And when we dedicate ourselves to securing the benefits for those who have been exposed to toxic substances
- from Agent Orange to burn pits - we are living up to this responsibility.” The PACT Act would add 23 burn pit and toxic exposure-related conditions to the VA’s list of service presumptions, including hypertension. The bill would also strengthen federal research on toxic exposure and improve the VA’s resources and training for toxic-exposed veterans. It will also ensure veterans have adequate resources by investing in VA claims processing and health care facilities and boost the department’s workforce. This legislation is named after Sergeant (Government - See Page 20)

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Military Gives Local Man A Call To Health – And A Call To Help
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – A local man cites his son as his inspiration to be healthy, and he hopes to share his story to inspire others as well. Jim Welshman, 64, rides his bike, swims, and jogs to keep in great shape. The start of his fitness journey didn’t come with a starter pistol but a more military one. His son entered the Marines in 2008. “I downloaded the boot camp training app.” He said he was 250 pounds at the start of his training. By the time family day at the corps came around, he was 190 pounds. His son had received the Eagle Globe and Anchor pin upon graduating, and he gifted it to his father. It was a proud moment for both of them. But it’s not just taking care of himself. He does it to take care of others as well. In 2009, he decided to do the Marine Corps marathon, which –Photo courtesy Jim Welshman was his fi rst long-distance run.

Don’t Cut Corners On Hearing Care
Over-the-counter hearing aids, also known as OTCs, will be available yesterday. But what are you giving up when you choose OTCs? It turns out, quite a bit. Professional Know-How A hearing health care provider has expertise and experience. They can pinpoint your unique hearing needs and determine the best technology for you. They also know how to go beyond manufacturer recommendations to truly customize your hearing devices to your lifestyle and hearing level. With OTCs, your results are only as good as the built-in adjusting capabilities for that device. A Sound Ecosystem-Unparalleled Value When you purchase OTCs, you get ... a pair of hearing aids. When you get technology from our practice, you get complimentary follow-up visits. This lets us adjust your technology to ensure it works the best for you in any environment. You also benefit from yearly evaluations that include testing of your inner ears, eardrums, and ear canal. Plus, you can enjoy free clean and checks of your devices. Ear Health When you self-treat your hearing loss by purchasing OTCs, you skip the critical first step: a physical examination of your ears. Anything from severe earwax buildup to medication to a tumor can cause hearing
issues. In many situations, simply buying an OTC doesn’t solve the problem. It could even make it worse. Our hearing care professionals are trained to determine your best course of action — which might be a simple ear cleaning. A hearing professional provides access to state-of- the-art technology with an array of accessories. Enjoy biometric wellness tracking and advanced background- noise reduction. Plus, stream audio wirelessly on phone calls, while watching TV, or during conversations. With some hearing devices, you can even get your hearing aid settings adjusted by your provider via a smartphone app — no appointment needed! If you think you or a loved one could benefit from a hearing evaluation, contact us today to get the ball rolling! Already a proud owner of hearing technology? Your hearing changes over time, and new developments are always emerging. If it’s been a while since we last saw you, schedule a hearing check today!

OCD Drug Fluvoxamine Reduces Cytokines
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. What Everyone Ought To Know About Moisturizers, Serums And Sleep Masks They all go on your face! Men and women use these to keep a youthful appearance. I’ll break it all down because you might be spending money on the wrong skin care item. Likewise, you may read this today and decide you want to try something new for your beauty regimen. How do you know what to use? Let’s talk about the benefits of each: Benefits of a Serum: • Reduce signs of aging • Reduce hyperpigmentation • May ease minor skin irritation • Collagen boosting most of the time • Improve firmness and elasticity Benefits of a Face Cream: • Relieve dry skin and ease irritation • Stop sensations of itchiness • Hydrate, moisturize and smooth skin to increase resiliency • Help temporarily restore youthful appearance and texture • Plumps smooth and softens dull, dry skin Benefits of a Sleep Mask (used to be called Night Cream): • Sleep masks are similar to a moisturizing face cream (which is an emollient) but the effects are more intense because the ingredients actually penetrate into the skin all night long. I am formulating a sleep mask right now so I’ve been studying all of this lately. Benefits of a Sleep Mask: • Forms a film to hydrate and maintain skins essential moisture • Moisturizes and reduces redness and discoloration • Fight free radicals, reduces signs of fatigue and increase skin radiance
• Helps prevent UV and blue light damage • Increases skin’s natural ability to repair and renew A face cream and the sleep mask could be used interchangeably, or on alternate days. A sleep mask is applied at night. A face cream moisturizer is applied in the morning and at night if desired. A serum is applied any time, day or night, usually twice a day if there are stubborn skin concerns. The way a person takes care of their skin is highly individualized. Here are two suggestions: Beauty Ritual 1 1. Morning - A serum, followed by face cream 2. Evening - Apply a sleep mask Beauty Ritual 2 1. Morning - Face cream only 2. Evening - Serum followed by Sleep Mask Some people just use a serum, and some people use a moisturizer (a.k.a. face cream), and some use both! It depends on your preferences, skin type, age, and many other factors, including where you live and what skin issues are of the utmost concern. Beauty rituals are very personal. It makes the most sense to a serum before your face cream because the serum is more lightweight. If you have a toner to spray or apply, that item would go on before the serum. Whether you apply the serum at night or in the morning, or both times is up to you. A serum going on first however, is very typical in skin care regimens. That’s because its molecular structure is thinner and lighter than that of a moisturizer. Face creams (and as well as the newer “sleep masks” that are out now) are thicker than a serum, and therefore those are applied after the serum.

Government: Continued From Page 9
First Class Heath Robinson who was deployed to Kosovo and Iraq with the Ohio National Guard. He died in 2020 from toxic exposure as a result of his military service. Last year, Sen. Menendez introduced the Improving Benefits for Gulf War Veterans Act. Gulf War veterans often suffer from unexplained chronic symptoms known as
the “Gulf War Illness,” which can include symptoms of fatigue, joint pain, memory loss, insomnia, and respiratory disorders. Exposure to pesticides and other toxins have been linked to these symptoms. Improving Benefits for Gulf War Veterans Act as Section 405 of the PACT Act would permanently extend the period of eligibility for benefits. Currently, veterans must experience and report Gulf War illness symptoms by
December 31, 2021 in order to receive disability compensation benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This sunset date, which has been extended by the VA five times, will be eliminated which will ensure veterans whose symptoms do not manifest until later in life receive the benefits they earned. It will expand veteran eligibility for VA benefits. Studies show that veterans who served
in Operation Desert Storm and Operation Desert Shield have experienced similar symptoms as those who served in the Gulf War but they are not eligible for disability benefits. The bill would also make veterans who served in Afghanistan, Israel, Egypt, Turkey, Syria and Jordan eligible for benefits. Current law requires a veteran to have a disability associated with Gulf War illness and a rating of at least 10 percent to be eligible for disability compensation. The bill would lower the eligibility threshold to zero percent, allowing more veterans to receive disability compensation and other benefits. VA medical staff is currently not required to complete training before conducting Gulf War illness examinations, leading to a substantial number of veterans falling through the cracks and being denied VA benefits. The bill would require the VA to ensure department personnel are appropriately trained in dealing with Gulf War illness claims and to report to Congress annually on actions taken. The VA currently assigns separate disability based questionnaires (DBQ) for each Gulf War illness symptom a veteran reports. The VA then orders examinations for each symptom without considering that one illness is connected to multiple symptoms, often leading to veterans’ claims being denied. The legislation would require the VA to develop a single DBQ for the Gulf War illness, which would facilitate more timely and accurate consideration of disability compensation for veterans suffering from the illness.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Business Entities For Real Estate Investors
Marc S. Galella Esq.
By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates Real estate investors may seek to invest with other persons. This can be done informally, without any written documentation or formally. If done informally, it may lead to problems later if the parties have disagreements about the investment or if outside factors intervene. It is best to establish the rights and obligation of the parties at the outset so that all of the parties know what is expected of them and what they can expect from the investment. There are three basic forms of business entities to be considered in real estate investing. They are: • PARTNERSHIPS • CORPORATIONS • LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES (L.L.C.s) We will consider the relative advantages and disadvantages of each PARTNERSHIPS. • A partnership is two or more individuals. • A partnership may be informal (no written agreement) called a de facto partnership or it may be by way of a written partnership agreement. ADVANTAGES 1. Easy to set up. 2. Favorable tax treatment.—Income to the partnership is passed on to the individual partners and taxed as income to them. DISADVANTAGES 1. No liability protection. Creditors can go after the assets of the partners jointly and severably. 2. Acts of one partner affects other partners. 3. Marketability of interest may be an issue. CORPORATIONS A corporation is a legal entity created by filing a certificate of incorporation with the State. The individual owners are the shareholders. Their interest is reflected by the number of shares they each own. Generally, there is no other written agreement between the shareholders to
commence the corporation. Corporation is taxed on its own. ADVANTAGES 1. Liability protection. Creditors can sue the corporation but cannot go after the assets of the individual shareholders. 2. Good marketability of shares. DISADVANTAGES 1. Harder to set up than a partnership. Documents must be filed with the State. 2. Double tax treatment. Income to the corporation is taxed to the corporation and then taxed to the shareholder when it is distributed. (Subchapter S corporation may prevent this) 3. There are many filings on an annual basis, which increases annual costs. 4. May need additional documents to establish relationships between shareholders. (Example: Buy-Sell Agreements) LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES Created by filing a certificate of formation with State. May be one or more members. Member’s interest established in the Operating Agreement. Operating Agreement sets forth the relationships between the members. Income is passed through to members like a partnership. ADVANTAGES 1. Liability protection like a corporation. Creditors cannot go after assets of members. 2. Favorable tax treatment. Like partnerships, income is passed on to partners. No double taxation. 3. Easier marketability of membership interest if that is what the parties want. 4. Less annual filings than a corporation. 5. Operating agreement sets forth the relationship between the parties. No need for additional documents. DISADVANTAGES 1. More complicated to set up than a partnership.

How To Protect Yourself From Scams
By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE – There are a lot of contractors and other business owners who a re look i ng to t a ke advant age of others. Here’s how to help protect yourself. The most important thing for you to do is make sure everything is in writing. Obtaining a written contract will save you a lot of headaches down the road. You must be sure that everything you want is spelled out in the contract. Contracts for home improvement projects costing $500 or more must be in writing. They must include the legal name, business address, and registration number of the contractor as well as a start date, completion date, description of the work to be done, and the total price. Make sure all warranties and guarantees are in writing, and that the contract states the name brands or quality/grades of the materials to be used. Learn about any contractor before deciding to hire them. It is ideal to work with a contractor who is recommended by people you know. It also is advisable to ask the contractor for references and speak with those references about the contractor’s work. Contact the Division of Consumer Affairs to learn if the contractor is duly registered to perform home improvement work in New Jersey, and learn whether the contractor has been the subject of consumer complaints and/or legal action by the Division. You can
call the Division at (800) 242-5846 or use the Division’s website, NJConsumerAffairs.gov. Before hiring the contractor, demand a copy of the contractor’s liability insurance policy and contact the insurer to learn whether the policy is valid. Ensure that all applicable construction permits are obtained by the contractor, from the appropriate municipality. Remember that it is customary not to pay for the entire project in advance. The general practice is to pay for onethird in advance, one-third halfway through, and one-third upon completion. Consumers who believe they have been cheated or scammed by a business, or suspect any other form of consumer abuse, can file a complaint online with the State Division of Consumer Affairs or by calling 1-800-242-5846 (toll free within New Jersey). Phone & Internet Scams You might be scammed by someone you never even lay eyes on. Here’s how to protect yourself: • Never open emails from someone you don’t know. • Never follow the instructions given by someone you don’t know. • If you are told there is a problem with your bank account, computer, utilities or similar situation, call the phone number on your official statement. Don’t call the phone number provided by a warning message.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Pride Festival Welcomes Everyone Under The Rainbow
–Photo by Stephanie Faughnan The Pride festival brought a variety of local residents to the downtown area to celebrate. By Stephanie Faughnan TOMS RIVER – Mother Nature added her own touch to the Toms River Pride Festival when a rainbow appeared after a short afternoon spring shower. Rainbows are seen as significant to the LGBTQ+ community as a symbol of gay pride. Historians credit the late Gilbert Baker with designing the first rainbow flag. He saw the “natural flag of the sky” as a universal expression of hope. The Toms River Fire Department displayed the American flag atop its aerial ladder with the rainbow flag secured beneath it. Toms River Township officials held their Pride flag-raising ceremony in front of Town Hall earlier and plan to fly the flag during the entire month of June. Dozens of vendors lined up on both sides
of Washington Street between Main Street and Hooper Avenue. Thousands of people dressed in an array of colors and fashions seemingly displayed a message of acceptance and alliance. Christ Episcopal Church of Toms River had a booth next to a community group that holds meetings at their church. Congregation members shared a brochure that brought a different message to LGBTQ+ community members who often feel ostracized by Christian churches. “God loves you. No exceptions,” reads the brochure. “All are welcome, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, gender expression, and sexual orientation.” Among other things, the brochure emphasizes that worship services focus on God.

Rainbow:
Continued From Page 1 part of its Ministry and Outreach program, the Christ Episcopal Church also advocates for a more inclusive and just society. This includes the LGBT community through Lgbtconnectionatchristchurch.com. “We believe that God made us all in God’s image,” said Phyllis Long, a church member. “And so, we’re all alike. There are no differences between us.” Long explained that the church community’s beliefs come not only from scripture but also from common sense and tradition. She said that the world has changed, and God would want everyone to be accepting of all people.
Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd), who currently represents parts of Ocean County, served as a keynote speaker for the event. He appeared on stage with his two young sons. “People who have lived in Toms River and Ocean County for decades remind us how special it is that we can have a Pride event right here in the downtown area,” Kim said. “It signifies the progress made in our community, across the state, and the country.” Kim said that the progress included the passing of the Equality Act, with people fighting for equality and fighting for the ability for people to be themselves. However, he cautioned that progress should not be taken for granted and that there was more to be accomplished.
“What we are experiencing now is because of the hard work of advocates and activists over the course of decades,” Kim said. “… We stand on their shoulders and celebrate what they’ve accomplished. But now it’s on us…we live in a moment that is going to determine the course of our country and what it means to equality. “I can tell you that when my kids grow up and ask me what I did in this historic moment – during these tumultuous years,” Kim said. “I want to tell them that I did everything I humanly can, as a person, to fight for what’s right, to fight for justice, to fight for equality in our country.” As the crowd broke out into resounding cheers, two men carrying signs shouted out to express their feelings that the gay community would not be accepted in the Kingdom of God. The man carrying a cross saying that Jesus Saves refused to give his name. “We want to see people come to Jesus,” said the man. “We want to see them with Jesus.” Carl Conrad wore a shirt saying “All Souls Matter” and carried a sign quoting a biblical passage. He had his own reasons for speaking out during Kim’s presentation. “God loves all men, and created all men,” Conrad shared. “However, he loves them to walk in the right way. It doesn’t matter if you’re homosexual, whether you’re a liar, whether you’re an idolatrous brother, or if you worship other gods, no church should support what’s sending people in sin to hell. The Bible says that the wages of sin is death.” As onlookers attempted to camouflage
Conrad’s sign with placards that read “Love is Love,” he engaged in a private conversation with Kim. Local police moved close to the scene with no signs of altercation requiring intervention. From all appearances, the two men were the only ones who had issues with the gay pride festivities. Children took advantage of a giant slide at one end of the venue, while adults took out their frustrations with some targeted axe-throwing exercises. The Exit 82 Theater Company set up a complete line-up of events throughout the day that started with Rainbow Pride Family Storytime at the library, a couple of drag shows, a lip-synch competition, and various other special performances. The day’s events also featured a number of Pride Advocacy Awards. Attendees not only came for the food and drink. Many brought their pets and enjoyed an afternoon of dressing up for the event. Some identified as allies and supporters. Among them was Sarah Jeffers, who said she came out to celebrate pride with her daughter, Juliana. “I’m here to celebrate myself as pan-sexual,” shared Juliana. “I don’t like people for their gender; I focus more on their personality when I go to date somebody.” A tall dark-haired man piped in at the end of the conversation with Juliana. He said he also came along to support Juliana and was her boyfriend.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of June 18 - june 24
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): A well-tended garden produces the most food and most beautiful flowers. Provide the proper care and attention to your projects in the week ahead. Your career prospects are likely to improve if you exert additional effort. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Study successful business practices and expand your areas of expertise. A new acquaintance may offer the know-how to help you overcome setbacks. Your social life could be more active as the week progresses. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The best things in life might be free, but food and shelter require cash. You may be on a mission to be wiser financially in the week ahead. Avoid misunderstandings with loved ones by being more tolerant of their needs. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your common sense may be tested by a game of truth or dare as the week unfolds. A job description could be confusing, but you may have the insight and willpower to handle vague instructions. Avoid making new investments. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Cherish and nurture your support group. Those who care about you provide the structure you need to embrace inspirational ideas. A coworker or workplace issue may trigger a review of your goals in the week to come. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone’s powerful need for understanding could drain your confidence in their abilities. Juggling home and career could present a challenge
unless you are willing to make intelligent changes and adjustments this week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Have faith that everything will turn out for the best this week. Loved ones may keep their promises but be too distracted to help. Stand on your own two feet and do not rely on someone else to handle your business. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can recite the rules or just let things flow, but this might not help you earn your keep now. Your attention may be elsewhere when you should be watching your to-do list in the upcoming week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do what needs done rather than dreaming your time away. Pay attention to the little things like a leaky faucet or a loose screw. Small repairs and improvements will help keep things running smoothly this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A loved one or partner can keep you grounded. Be grateful for someone’s intelligent observations and opposition to your wildest plans that prevent you from making mistakes in the week to come. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might appear set in your ways if the routines that served you well in the past are still effective. Nevertheless, friends may hope you will experiment with more innovative techniques in the week ahead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Reasonable expectations are likely to be met. If your expectations are too high, however, you may be disappointed. It might be difficult to get up to speed quickly in the week ahead unless you sideline nagging doubts.
