By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – The township’s municipal budget was presented by Mayor Robert Hudak recently and it featured an average increase of about $30 for residents. “This budget is designed to bring the tow n sh ip back on track to provide a stable means for future years,” the mayor said as he showed a PowerPoint presentation during a Township Council meeting. He said that between 2018 and 2022 “our ratable base has actually improved over the last five years.” He also noted that a revaluation which impacted the tax rate in 2020 and many “differentials occurred due to that revaluation.” The mayor also noted that the township’s new paid-full-time

Regarding the general operating budget, the mayor told the Council and public, “we’ve had increases in salaries over the past five years as well as operating expenses and some statutory changes in the amount of $1.1 million.” “This year the tax rate is 56.7 which is a one and a half cent (Taxes - See Page 7)

Surf & Stream Residents Face Mass Eviction

By Stephanie A. Faughnan MANCHESTER – Surf and Stream residents who claim they live at the campgrounds yearround have been served with mass eviction notices. Marie Cicalo, a resident and former manager of the campgrounds, said she received notification of the eviction proceedings last week. Her court matter is listed for June 30. “The papers list the reason for eviction as non-payment of rent,” said Cicalo. “The owner

Gallaro, who Principal Lisa Michallis said has over 35 years’ experience in the nursing field and has worked with pediatric to geriatric patients. For the past 13 years she has called the Regional Day School. Michallis said, “every day she is providing the highest quality of care, under normal circumstances to emergency situations, and is continually sharing resources and providing staﬀ training.” “We all know the Regional Day School is a special place with the most awesome students with some significant and precarious medical needs. On any given day Nurse Debbie is providing Gtube feedings, pulse ox monitoring, nebulizer treatments, dispensing medications, lifting and transferring students, providing education on diabetes prevention and epi-pen use, conducting hearing and vision screenings and more,” the principal added. Gallaro has participated in Autism WalkA-Thons, “and volunteered countless hours to serve meals at our spaghetti dinners and even creating food baskets for families in need. She is an active member of our Attendance Committee and Child Study Team, and co-facilitates our Parent Support Group,” Michallis added. Gallaro said it was an honor to be chosen as ESP of the Year and “being a school nurse for 14 years now, you never know what the day might bring. As the school nurse of Regional Day School, I want to send kudos and much gratitude to the other district nurses. The General’s

Principal Nikki Mazur said. “She is always willing to share time, effort, and her expertise with others. Both staff and families seek her out to discuss ideas about how to handle many situations. Having experienced life at Regional Day before becoming a Ridgeway lunch aide and then paraprofessional, she truly has a heart of gold and has made a significant contribution to the lives of children. I am so proud of her accomplishments,” Mazur added. Blaine thanked the “Board of Education, our superintendent, and staff for this honor. I am so grateful to get to work in a district I love not only as a parent but as an employee. I have been given the opportunity to work in self-contained for nine years, where I am able to assist students with special needs.” She added, “I find true joy in watching these students grow and I am so grateful to be part of this process. Thank you especially to my teacher, Jessica Parsons, for her knowledge, patience and friendship. We are truly the dream team. I am truly humbled.” Whiting Elementary School’s Renee Penn made her mark in the five years she served as the school’s guidance counselor. “As principal, I had many opportunities to work closely with Renee. This allowed me to get to know her both personally and professionally. Her consistent positive attitude and passion for her work made her a pleasure to be around,” Principal Evelyn Swift said. Swift added, “her love for her job was always evident because she was a person who always saw the glass as half full. She

first to volunteer to help when it is needed. She is part of our School Safety Team, willingly takes on an arrival and dismissal duty, and volunteered to give up her lunch and co-Lead the Dragon Den Social Skills Lunch Group, recognizing the importance of social skills and social emotional learning skills since COVID.” Amey said she was honored to be recognized “by my peers for this award. Six years ago, I began my career in Manchester as a Speech Language Pathologist that was split between MTES and Ridgeway. Halfway through my first year I was given the opportunity of becoming full time at MTES and here I am today.” “I am deeply connected to all of the students that I serve, and I love getting to know them all. My hope is that I can inspire them and show each and every one of them how special they truly are to me and everyone around them,” the teacher added. She also thanked her husband Michael, “for always being my go-to person and supporting me in everything I do and my daughter Gemma who keeps me on my toes, but has really taught me so much in her short life.” Ridgeway Elementary School’s ESP award winner is Kathy Blaine. “Each and every day Mrs. Blaine shows all of us what can be accomplished when you approach life with compassion, professional judgment, and a very witty sense of humor. Not only is she quickly able to diﬀuse pretty much any situation, she uses her sense of humor to distract, amuse, and make long lasting connections with students and staﬀ,”

They are always ready to support, provide information, answer questions and just be there when needed.” “There is a big diversity of students at RDS, with various needs and issues that occur at any one time. Therefore, a big shout out to everyone I work with for their collaboration, hard work, support and assistance when it is needed,” Gallaro added. Rebecca Amey was chosen as the Manchester Township Elementary School ESP award winner of 2022. “She is our full time Speech and Language Pathologist and makes it her mission to help struggling students communicate as she listens to their needs. She manages her extremely large and diverse caseload without a complaint and shares her knowledge of speech and language development with her colleagues,” Principal Linda Waldron said. Waldron said Amey maintains her American Speech-Language-Hearing Association credentials on her own time and attends outside professional development opportunities to learn new skills and strategies so that her speech therapy room is not only current but fun and engaging to all her students. “Mrs. Amey takes the time to get to know her students. She is genuinely interested in their hobbies, activities inside and outside of school, and truly cares about their families. She often recommends when a student’s family needs assistance and will work closely with our Kevin’s Kids program to see if they get what they need,” the principal added.

Continued From Page 1 violations on the campgrounds. They are also aware that because the county is buying the property, they have to leave.” One woman said she paid fees twice a year and was current until June 1. She questioned how the owners came up with the numbers cited in their legal papers and said others found the amount claimed to be inflated. Ocean County Tax Records document Riverside at Manchester’s purchase of the Surf and Stream property for $2.15 million in 2005. Earlier this year, Ocean County Commissioners announced that Ocean County and the Township of Manchester planned to purchase the campgrounds for $7.4 million. One of the conditions of the sale requires that the land be delivered free of any and all structures. County officials were surprised when Surf and Stream inhabitants showed up en masse to explain they needed time to relocate from their full-time residences. Ocean County Deputy Commissioner Virginia “Ginny” Haines said the seller led them to believe the campground lots were seasonal rentals. Bielat, the spokesperson for Riverside of Manchester, LLC, continues to deny that anyone lives on the campgrounds on a permanent basis. A sign placed on the campground store served as the first notice to many of the residents that the campgrounds would shut down on May 23. “None of us woke up and aspired to live at Surf and Stream campgrounds,” said

The Manchester Times, June 25, 2022, Page 5 Annette Diaz, who has lived at the site for four years. “We did and do what we have to do to keep ourselves safe and a roof over our heads.” Campers continue to scramble to fi nd alternative places to live or hook up their recreational vehicles. Many fear they will wind up homeless as they are on tight budgets and cannot aﬀord rent or initial costs associated with new leases. Most said the housing market has also limited their options. The law offices of Starkey, Kelly, Kenneally, Cunningham & Turnbach have attempted to negotiate relocation expenses from the current owner. “I’ve had a number of conversations with John Paul Doyle, attorney for the campground owners,” said attorney Kevin Starkey. “Our firm has been representing the campground residents to get them some relocation expenses so they can move out in an orderly fashion and find a suitable place to live.” “I thought Mr. Doyle and I had some productive discussions on that front,” Starkey continued. “Approximately two or three weeks ago, Mr. Doyle called to apologize, saying the owner of the campgrounds had decided his best course of action was to seek mass eviction and not to provide any assistance to the residents.” New Jersey law provides for relocation assistance to people displaced as the result of properties purchased by public agencies. Starkey said his firm plans to file litigation on behalf of the full-time campground residents.

The legal action will be filed on an emergent basis and will seek a stay on the eviction proceedings. This means the seller’s intent to dislodge the campers would be put on hold. According to Dasti, the campground owners planned to close the deal with the two government entities in August. It is unknown how any prospective delay could impact the sale of the property. Cicalo, Diaz, and a third full-time resident, Edward Babson, have spearheaded eﬀorts to eﬀectuate a suitable resolution on behalf of the displaced residents. They personally walked the campgrounds to document the number of full-time residents. “We visited 102 campers and found 160 residents have lived at Surf and Stream year-round for varying years,” said Diaz. “Some have been here as long as thirty years.” After a nasty divorce left her in financial straits, Diaz opted to buy a Parker model home on the campgrounds. She expected to resell it when she moved as it cannot be relocated. The sale of the property puts Diaz at an unexpected monetary loss for which she feels she is due compensation. Yet, not only her personal interests led Diaz to become vocal about what she sees as inequitable and unfair. “Everybody who lives on the campground is a victim of circumstance,” Diaz shared. “We have some suffering from mental health issues, veterans who have PTSD, battered women suffering from PTSD, trying to stay alive.” “There are ex-convicts trying to reinvent

themselves, and become a successful member of society,” continued Diaz. “We also have displaced housewives trying to make a new life, disabled and the elderly on fixed incomes, as well as those suffering from drug addiction.” Cicalo and Babson attended an Ocean County Commissioners meeting earlier this month to advise authorities of deteriorating conditions at Surf and Stream. Within days of that meeting, the Ocean County Health Department conducted an inspection of the premises. A report of that visit has not yet been made available. One problem appears to be the shut-off of hot water in the public bathrooms a month ago, which has created a dilemma for at least a few of the full-time residents. “There is a woman who lives in a tent yearround through snow, ice, and rain,” Diaz said. “She has not been treated humanely. She is left with a site that has no running water, as they (the owners) are refusing to turn on the summer water. They have shut off the hot water at the showers, so she has not showered in a month. She is sitting here in anguish daily.” Meanwhile, the campers have questioned the legitimacy of the first call to vacate as well as the eviction notices. “We are finding court date letters at our campers, taped to the door, said Annette Diaz, who has lived at Surf and Stream for four years. “Other letters have been placed under front mats or wiper blades on owner’s vehicles.” Both Cicalo and Diaz expressed concerns

For an average assessed home of $200,290 it is approximately a $30 increase or $7.50 every quarter,” the mayor added. “The ratable base for the township has grown. We have $2.8 million in reserve bringing us back to close as much as possible to that $3 million in reserve that we historically had.” Mayor Hudak noted that the township provided double funding for the community’s volunteer fire companies to cover the expense of replacement equipment. “We realigned some of our departments to try and cut down on expenses.” Business Administrator Brandon Umba added to the presentation saying, “in 2022 there was a reevaluation and as the mayor stated we have seen a five-year trend of a four-percent increase in operations meaning revenue to support (the budget).” “There was a request to administration to have a flat budget this year,” Umba added. “Other than laying people oﬀ, something the mayor adamantly stated he was against, there was no way to keep a flat budget.” He said, “thankfully, with EMS, we’ve been able to move our revenue so tax dollars supporting the EMS operations and salaries were $230,000 paid by tax dollars the remaining $2.5 million is covered by the revenue received from the operation.” “We are also seeing debt service increases by a million dollars so you are looking at an overall operational cost that have increased by four percent and continually going up while also trying to manage the revenue that is coming down. That is a 1.5 cent increase to the residents which is an average resident $30 increase and we will continue to try and manage it the best that we can as we go forward,” the Business Administrator said. “We were able to maintain the current operations of the township that residents

The individual who delivered the eviction notices told them their names appeared on the first round of eviction hearings. Dasti said that he was not in charge of how the court scheduled the hearing dates and suggested it might be alphabetical by tenant names. Cicalo said others on the list had names that came before hers in the alphabet. She also said she’s not even listed on the lot agreement – only her husband’s name appears. “Property owners have an obligation to live up to their agreement with the county,” Dasti said. “This is more of an issue of beginning the process to the extent that people refuse to leave. The landlord/tenant courts are backed up to next year.” What happens next in the continuing saga of displaced Surf and Stream residents appears to be in the hands of the court. Diaz summed up her feelings and the general sentiment of her neighbors. “Terrible, terrible, terrible,” said Diaz.

Umba added that with the EMS program continually growing “because of the calls for service that we are receiving, because the EMS service is so new to Manchester you can not move the revenue items outside the cap reserve.” He noted that the state authority that oversees this wishes to see a “steady income before they start letting you average what

you are bringing in. Since it has been so new, we weren’t able to put that number outside the cap.” Emergency Services Director Robert Baran said “so far this year we are at 179 responses by outside agencies.” “Last year the number was 440 calls by outside agencies coming into Manchester. In order for Manchester to answer those calls, we need to put an extra rig on and that increases your expenses. If those expenses

are not offset by revenue that is showing a large increase in your budget which means you are going over the cap that Governor (Chris) Christie put into place for expenses. That is why it was so important that the revenue offset EMS placed in an offset area instead of inside the cap,” Umba explained further. No one came up to speak or ask questions during the public comment period that followed.

Senator Cory Booker: Bipartisan Agreement Would Stem Gun Violence

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Cory Booker (D- N.J.), Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Angus King (I-Maine), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), and Pat Toomey (RPa.) issued the following statement: “Today, we are announcing a commonsense, bipartisan proposal to protect America’s children, keep our schools safe, and reduce the threat of violence across our country. Families are scared, and it is our duty to come together and get something

done that will help restore their sense of safety and security in their communities. Our plan increases needed mental health resources, improves school safety and support for students, and helps ensure dangerous criminals and those who are adjudicated as mentally ill can’t purchase weapons. Most importantly, our plan saves lives while also protecting the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans. We look forward to earning broad, bipartisan support and passing our commonsense proposal into law.” The proposal provides resources to states and tribes to create and administer laws that help ensure deadly weapons are kept out of the hands of individuals whom a court has determined to be a significant danger to themselves or others, consistent with state and federal due process and constitutional

protections. There would be a national expansion of community behavioral health center model; major investments to increase access to mental health and suicide prevention programs; and other support services available in the community, including crisis and trauma intervention and recovery. Convicted domestic violence abusers and individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders are included in NICS, including those who have or have had a continuing relationship of a romantic or intimate nature. The agreement invests in programs to expand mental health and supportive services in schools, including: early identification and intervention programs and school based mental health and wrap-around services. Additional funding would go to programs

to help institute safety measures in and around primary and secondary schools, support school violence prevention eﬀorts and provide training to school personnel and students. Telehealth would be used to increase access to mental and behavioral health services for youth and families in crisis. It would also clarify the definition of a federally licensed firearms dealer. Criminals who illegally evade licensing requirements would see stiﬀer penalties. There would also be a crackdown on people who illegally straw purchase and traffic guns. For buyers under 21 years of age, an investigative period would be instituted to review juvenile and mental health records, including checks with state databases and local law enforcement.

Passenger Injured In Two-Car Crash On Route 70

By Alyssa Riccardi M A NC H EST ER – A 77-ye a r- old woman was sent to a Shore Area Trauma Center after being involved in a two-car crash on Route 70 on June 14, police said. The incident occurred around 6:03 p.m. at the intersection of State Highway 70 and County Route 571. Officers found a 2021 Honda Accord facing east in the intersection with extensive passenger side damage and a 2022 Subaru Outback facing west in the eastbound turn lane with extensive front-end damage. Investigation revealed that the driver

of the Honda, 79-year-old Dominic Tobacco of Manchester, was attempting to make a left hand tur n onto nor th County Route 571 when he was hit by the Subaru which was traveling west on State Highway 70. The Subaru impacted the passenger side of the Honda causing it to rotate about 45 degrees and come to final rest facing east in the intersection, police said. After the initial impact, the Subaru continued to travel west before it came to f inal rest facing west in the east bound turn lane of State Highway 70. Inside the Honda with Dominic was

77-year-old Justina Tobacco. Dominic complained of pain and was brought to Community Medical Center for further evaluation. Justina suffered possible head trauma and was transported via Medevac helicopter to Jersey Shore University Medical Center for further evaluation, police said. The driver of the Subaru was identified as 74-year-old Charles Jannetti, and also inside the car was 72-year-old, Janet Jannetti, both from Manchester. Both were brought to Community Medical Center for complaints of pain. Assisting at the scene were EMT’s

from the Manchester Township Division of Emergency Ser vices, Paramedics from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, and fire fighters from Ridgeway Volunteer Fire Company and Manchester Volunteer Fire Company. The roadway was partially closed during rescue and cleanup. At this time, the crash is still under investigation but police believe failure to yield to oncoming traffic appears to be the contributing factor. This crash is being investigated by Patrolman Conner Yatauro of the depar tment’s Traff ic Safety section.

are looking for solutions. “The Jersey Shore has always been a welcoming place for visitors, but many small towns are not equipped to handle thousands of teenagers who suddenly pour oﬀ trains and flood their streets, boardwalks, and commercial districts for pop-up parties organized on social media,” said Senator Robert Singer (R-30 th). “We saw what happened in Long Branch a few weeks ago when 5,000 teens and young adults suddenly showed up in Pier Village. People were jumping on cars, fighting, and openly smoking pot and drinking in public. The local police had an extremely difficult time trying to restore order. Most shore towns looked at what happened in Long Branch and are hoping they’re not next, but hope isn’t a plan.” Singer called for Governor Murphy and the Attorney General’s office to create a task force to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The task force he proposed would include participation from the New Jersey State Police, NJ Transit, the Monmouth and Ocean County prosecutors’ offices, sheriﬀs’ offices, and police chiefs’ associations. “There needs to be better coordination among state and local officials to respond to pop-up parties along with some sort of funding mechanism to help pay for the unexpected cost of calling in extra police to respond,” said Singer. “There also needs to be a real discussion about fixing our laws which prevent police from taking enforcement action for violations committed by minors. Kids know they can’t be touched and they’re taking advantage of it.” Some of these private homes are owned by businesses or landlords who live far away. It is sometimes difficult to find out who is responsible. A bill sponsored by Senator Sam Thompson (R-12th) would make it easier for municipalities to pursue rental property owners for building code violations. “So many rental units in our neighborhoods are being purchased by shell corporations that exist only on paper. When there are violations or other problems, municipal officials don’t know where to turn to get the issues resolved,” he said. Specifically, the bill would require LLCs to disclose the names of the company’s registered agent when recording deeds for homes with as many as four dwelling units. “This would lift the veil of anonymity from limited liability companies that own residential property,” Thompson said. “When these corporations file a property deed with the local government, they would now have to identify the name of a responsible party.” The 10th District Legislators sponsored a bill that would expand the definition of a riot to include pop-up parties and enhance the penalties for crimes committed during them. “The events in Long Branch were a clear

picture that local law enforcement needed reinforcements to control a crowd of that size,” said Senator Jim Holzapfel. “Underage drinking, vandalism and drug use were all on display with very little consequences to those in attendance. We have heard from countless residents and business owners who fear for their safety.” “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,” said 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.” “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 John 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.” One option municipalities have is creating a curfew. For example, Toms River recently enacted one for the North Beach and Ortley Beach sections of town, which are on the barrier island. The curfew went into effect on June 13, and will last until September 30. Anyone 17 or younger who is outdoors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian from 11 p.m. through 5 a.m. There are exceptions to this rule, which include medical emergencies, jobs, private gatherings, and religious or educational functions. The minors can be out alone if they are running an errand for a parent or guardian. If caught violating the curfew, the child could be charged with a disorderly person’s offense, and would be subject to penalties imposed by the municipal court. This was in response to complaints by residents of “unruly behavior by juveniles” during the Memorial Day weekend, officials said. “The curfews worked well in 2020 and 2021,” said Mayor Maurice B. “Mo” Hill. “We had few if any disturbances during those seasons and we do not want a repeat of what happened during the Memorial Day weekend this year. With the threat of ‘pop-up’ parties being promoted on social media, we need to give our police officers the authority to maintain the peace in our family friendly beach communities.” The curfew is enacted under the authority of Governor Phil Murphy’s Executive Order No. 103 issued on March 9, 2020. “The goal and focus of this curfew is not to target children enjoying their time at the shore, but rather to address the destructive behavior we have experienced on both public and private property with large groups of juveniles. It is our responsibility to preserve the quality of life in our beach communities for everyone,” said Police Chief Mitch Little.

Continued From Page 4 sees the world through rose colored glasses and the children are the benefactors. Her wisdom and professionalism go beyond her years. Her work ethic is unmatched. Renee is someone who is always willing to lend a hand whenever and wherever needed.” Penn transferred to the middle school this year. “Our loss was indeed the middle school’s gain. She is compassionate, hardworking and collaborative. I am confident she is already making her mark there with her students and the staﬀ.” Penn remarked, “I am honored to be named Whiting Elementary School’s ESP of the year. I got to plan school wide events for students, such as SEL day, where kids learned the four competencies of social and emotional learning through hands-on activities. I got to present monthly character education lessons in all the classes. And most excitingly, I got to dress up as Buddy the Elf and rock all my ugly Christmas sweaters year after year,” Penn added. Manchester Township High School Principal Dennis Adams introduced his ESP award winner Brenda Jernack who “is a paraprofessional that goes above and beyond at MTHS.” “Mrs. Jernack takes a student-first approach to the school and community. In the classroom, Mrs. Jernack can be observed assisting teacher-led, student learning. Mrs. Jernack supports an environment that is conducive to student learning; her collaboration with educators is always positive, and her rapport with students focuses on both academic and social-emotional learning,” Adams said. Adams remarked that “outside of the classroom, Mrs. Jernack has been highly involved in Helping Hands for Hunger since its fruition, Kevin’s Kids, AP (Advanced Placement Program), Freshmen

Orientation, and has been a member of the MTHS blood drive for numerous years. Mrs. Jernack can often be spotted supporting the MTHS community by attending sporting events and arts initiatives.” Jernack said “throughout my 15 years at the high school, I have tried to foster a positive learning environment that includes all of our students. My greatest pleasure is knowing I’ve had a direct impact on the futures of our students. I would also like to thank my colleagues, who make MTHS feel like family.” Manchester Township Middle School ESP winner Leslie Old was introduced by her principal, Nancy Driber. “She consistently demonstrates patience and f lexibility in supporting students and she is always willing to go that extra mile to meet their needs,” Driber said. “If anyone wants to understand the positive impact an occupational therapist can have on a child’s education, then just observe Leslie’s work. Leslie teaches a cooking lesson with the autism and multiple disabled students where she teaches all phases of a recipe from reading it, prepping for it, and cooking it. Although she has a plan for the lesson, she is always making little adjustments that ensure students feel engaged and successful in their tasks, regardless of their ability level.” Old said she was honored to receive the MTMS ESP of the Year award. “I am humbled to be working with such supportive and amazing staﬀ in each school. The staﬀ are so caring and flexible when it comes to Occupational Therapy and are receptive to all of my recommendations and thoughts when it comes to assisting and helping the students.” She also thanked her husband and two daughters, and her parents, “who have supported me and continue to do so for me in every way. I enjoy my job here at Manchester School District and am honored to be recognized.”

WHITING – On June 13, members of the Whiting Fire Company Station 33 trained on tanker operations which included the setup of their 4,000-gallon portable pond. A shuttle drill with tanker 3318 was performed while engine 3301 was utilized to draft from the dump site. A water jet siphon was also utilized oﬀ of engine 01 to perform transfers from one pond to another. This is yet another example of their unique response geography/infrastructure. Many sections within their primary response region are dry (no hydrants). Periodic training both in house and of larger scale (with our regional tanker task force) ensure fi res in these areas have adequate water supply.

Manchester Man Pleads Guilty To Drug Overdose Death

By Alyssa Riccardi MANCHESTER – A township man has pled guilty to selling heroin and fentanyl that resulted in the overdose death of the user. Dandre Tubbs, 33, of Manchester pled guilty to Manslaughter as well as Distribution of Fentanyl in connection with the death of a 35-year-old man in Manchester on August 16, 2021. Police had found an unresponsive man at his home and found that his death was due to large levels of heroin and fentanyl. The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit and Manchester Township Police Department Detective Bureau later discovered that Tubbs had supplied these drugs to the victim just one day earlier. On August 19, 2021, Tubbs was arrested by officers during a motor vehicle stop and has been lodged in the Ocean County Jail since the date of his arrest. Tubbs is facing seven years in New Jersey State Prison for the Manslaughter charge as well as seven years for the Distribution of Fentanyl charge. Tubbs also pled guilty

to an unrelated charge of Possession of Fentanyl with Intent to Distribute, which the State will be recommending a term of four years. Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer acknowledges the diligent efforts of Senior Assistant Prosecutor Kristin Pressman and Assistant Prosecutor Victoria Veni who are handling the case on behalf of the State, as well as the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Unit, Manchester Township Police Department Detective Bureau, Manchester Township Police Department Narcotics Enforcement Team, Manchester Township Police Department K-9 Unit, Manchester Township Police Department Patrol Division, Ocean County Sheriff ’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit, and Ocean County Medical Examiner’s Office, for their combined and collaborative efforts in connection with this investigation, leading to Tubbs’ guilty pleas and soon his state prison sentence.

Dinner Dance Promotes Columbus Day

•

Research shows that hearing loss may lead to the rapid progression of cognitive decline. The evidence in the literature suggests that: • The slow onset of hearing loss can have a significant impact on several key brain functions, including the memory, hearing, speech and language portions of cognition. • Hearing impairment is a greater risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia than other individual mid-life risks. • The proactive management of hearing loss can delay or slow the onset or progression of cognitive decline. • Studies show the use of hearing aids can slow down the rapid progression of cognitive decline. Garden State Hearing & Balance Center is on the front line of promoting cognitive

health. We now oﬀer a computerized test of cognitive function called Cognivue Thrive. This screening tool objectively and reliably identifi es changes in cognitive function that could be indicative of an impairment that requires physician referral. In our opinion, driving brain health awareness and improving access to cognitive screenings are among the most important challenges of the 21st century. Although cognitive decline is a normal part of aging, early identification of underlying conditions such as untreated hearing loss will lead to appropriate management, thus improving cognitive health. If you would like to schedule a Cognivue Thrive screening, please feel free to contact our Toms River office at 732818-3610.

The Critical Metabolites That Impact Prostate Cancer By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Few words strike more fear than the word “cancer” and today’s article is devoted to helping you find out what critical metabolites should be evaluated. Prostate cancer is very common in the United States and was responsible for over 34,000 deaths in 2021. Early in the course of prostate cancer, before it’s even known, the growth of cancer cells is kept in check by natural, normal pathways in the body, usually those under the control of testosterone and related hormones known as androgens. These reproductive hormones deliver one signal to the prostate cancer cell telling them to “be fruitful and keep multiplying.” With continued replication, the cells pour out a protein called “prostate specific antigen” dubbed PSA. When the PSA levels are measured in a blood test, and seen as abnormal (above the normal reference range), the doctors worry this is a first sign of possible prostate cancer. Testing for PSA levels isn’t nearly enough. Neither is testing for testosterone levels, or DHT. There are so much more, and thankfully doctors can test you using urine “at home” test kits now. I oﬀer these at my website too. But right now, what I’d like to do is make sure you’re fully armed with the knowledge of important (measurable) biomarkers that are often overlooked as there’s so much hyper focus on PSA and DHT and a few others. Overlooking any one of the following could lead to more complications and progression of cancer at a faster rate. Testing yourself

properly is important to your health and longevity. Vitamin B12. Too much B12 may produce problems, and it is unclear if this is from the resulting elevation of homocysteine or some other mechanism. Measuring levels is important. Glutathione. Higher levels of glutathione are protective and useful as an antioxidant. This is pretty simple because in prostate cancer patients, antioxidant defenses are low and DNA damage is high. Glutathione protects the cell because it’s an antioxidant. Melatonin. The famous sleep hormone has anti-cancer activity, and has been studied for its protective eﬀect on the prostate gland. Did you know meditation raises levels? Testosterone. It is more the metabolites of testosterone, than the hormone itself. This is why urine metabolite testing is so important. Doing a spot check of testosterone in the morning via blood isn’t as informative unless you also have the metabolites from a urine test to compare with it. I recommend the DUTCH at-home test kit for this. Estrogen Metabolites. Men make estrogen as well as women, and it is the break down product (the metabolite) of testosterone! So, the more testosterone you make, the higher your estrogen levels… and if you’re breaking estrogen down badly, it raises risk for prostate problems. Urine testing via DUTCH can evaluate these metabolite levels, not blood testing.

New Home Market Flourishing in Seaside Heights

These new homes on Bay Boulevard are typical of those rising up in the new home construction boom in Seaside Heights. The construction and purchasing of newly constructed homes continues to f lourish, unabated, in Seaside Heights. According to Michael Loundy, the owner of Seaside Realty, people re-discovered Seaside Heights as a compact ocean and bayfront town with a desirable lifestyle a few years ago. The investment in new homes has accelerated since then. At any given time there are dozens of new homes under construction, with most sold before they are completed.

The homes are spotted throughout the town and are typically multi-story, at least three bedroom, and with a garage. There is a nationwide boom in real estate near the water and particularly the beach, but Seaside Heights is an exceptional location. Any house in Seaside Heights is only a short walk from the beach and Boardwalk and the Bayfront. That provides many recreation options for which people would have to travel a distance in another town.

Seaside Heights was born to be New Jersey’s foremost seaside resort. Whether you’re here for a day, a weekend, or a summer, you’ll find plenty to enjoy and create new memories. Mix and match for a great day. Splash in the sparkling waters. Breathe the fresh ocean air. Feel the sand between your toes and the sun refreshing your soul. Put your phone away and be energized by nature. Swim on a sizzling summer day. Stroll The Classic American Boardwalk.

Ride the Casino Pier and Breakwater Beach amusements. Tickle your taste buds with ice cream and other sweet treats. Unwind with a game of mini golf or arcade classics. Catch a fish, crab, wave, sunrise or sunset. Experience the excitement of arcade play. Boost your spirit with fireworks, beach concerts, and kite shows. Indulge yourself with classic boardwalk food. Or just sit back, relax, and take it all in.

Two Bayfront Areas Offer Loads of Enjoyment Options

Windsurfing is just one of the many relaxing recreation options that can be enjoyed at Seaside Heights’ Bayfront. Crabbing, kayaking, fishing, and wading in shallow water, plus availability of tasty food are among other potentials. Two bayfront recreation areas overlooking the beautiful Barnegat Bay are enjoyable features that people might tend to forget are part of the Seaside Heights experience. The town is one of the few on the Atlantic that is so compact that it is just a short walk from enjoying the ocean to delighting in the bay. The southern recreation area is on Rt. 35, south of Rt. 37, on the border of Seaside Park. This area features a dock for fishing and crabbing, as well as a livery operation that rents personal watercraft and pontoon boats. Dock Outfitters manages the southern area and oﬀers a wellstocked tackle shop as well as a café that features

a second floor with bay views. Sunset Beach is north of Rt. 37 on the bayfront. This area provides a sandy beach with shallow water that is ideal for families with small children. The area also hosts a classic Stewart’s Root Beer, the Sunset Seafood restaurant, a boat launching ramp, kayak rentals, a dock for fishing and crabbing, and a livery operation that rents boats for fishing and crabbing. The beach is protected by lifeguards in season. No beach badge is required and parking is free. Sunset Beach is a popular place from which to enjoy beautiful sunsets. https://exit82.com/bayfront/

Ongoing transformation of Hooks on the Boulevard is emblematic of the evolutions underway in Seaside Heights. The outdoor dining area speaks to the movement of Hooks towards continuing to build on its theme of “coastal casual.” Seaside Heights is rapidly growing as the place to live, play, and invest. In the past year, a number of large parcels have been cleared for commercial redevelopment, literally dozens of new homes in the $500,000-plus range have been built with more in various stages of development, and the town continues to develop an image as a place to enjoy at the oceanfront year-round. “We have worked for many years to recapture our reputation as a family, oceanfront, resort and those eﬀorts are paying oﬀ,” relates Seaside Heights Mayor Anthony Vaz. “This past year has been exciting as we have seen so much of our vision for Seaside Heights moving towards fruition.” According to Seaside Heights Borough Administrator, Christopher Vaz, “We are ready to do small projects or large. We have more available

ocean-proximity prime real estate than any other town in New Jersey. People should want to invest in Seaside Heights right now because investment here is rapidly accelerating.” “Seaside Heights is in the early stages of growing towards being a revitalized year-round community,” relates Michael Redpath, Executive Director of the Seaside Heights Business Improvement District. “We have worked with projects ranging from the large new Ocean Club at the south end of the Boardwalk to full-service restaurants and small food outlets on the Boulevard. We encourage potential investors in commercial construction projects or small businesses seeking a location to visit our website at exit82.com/business for more information.

Police Remind Residents About Prohibited Fireworks

By Alyssa Riccardi MANCHESTER – Now that the summer season is fi nally upon us at the Jersey Shore, authorities want to remind residents about the use of prohibited fi reworks. The Manchester Township Police Department recently released a statement explaining how they often receive complaints about fi reworks during this time

of year. “Not only is this a safety concern, this is also a quality-of-life issue for your neighbors, including pets,” Manchester Police said. Police also want to remind residents of the following ordinances regarding loud noises and fi reworks: 275-10 Noise prohibited: It shall be un-

lawful for a person to make, continue or cause to be made or continued any loud, unnecessary, oﬀensive or unusual noise or any noise which does or is likely to annoy, disturb, injure or endanger the comfort, repose, health, peace or safety of others. 288-17 Fireworks: No person shall possess, discharge, or set oﬀ within a township park or public lands any fi recrackers,

torpedoes, rockets, or other fi reworks. In addition, the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs has published the following guide to permitted sparkling devices and prohibited aerial fi reworks as well as fi rework safety tips: Never allow young children to play with or ignite fi reworks. Avoid buying fireworks that are packaged in brown paper because this is often a sign that the fi reworks were made for professional displays and that they could pose a danger to consumers. Always have an adult supervise fireworks activities. Parents don’t realize that young children suffer injuries from sparklers. Sparklers burn at temperatures of about 2,000 degrees - hot enough to melt some metals. Never place any part of your body directly over a fi reworks device when lighting the fuse. Back up to a safe distance immediately after lighting fi reworks. Never try to re-light or pick up fi reworks that have not ignited fully. Never point or throw fi reworks at another person. Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of fi re or other mishap. Light fi reworks one at a time, then move back quickly. Never carry fireworks in a pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass containers. After fi reworks complete their burning, douse the spent device with plenty of water from a bucket or hose before discarding it to prevent a trash fi re. Make sure fi reworks are legal in your area before buying or using them.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Rights And Restrictions For An Executor To Use Estate Assets To Pay Counsel Fee

Marc S. Galella Esq.

& Car Wash

By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates The death of a loved one is a tragic event. Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved one’s passing, disputes often arise as to the decedents Last Will and Testament. If such a dispute arises, it is important to understand how legal fees could impact the assets of the Estate. Once an Executor of an Estate is appointed and the Will is challenged, the Executor may use Estate assets to defend the challenge as long as the contesting party challenges the Will’s validity, interpretation, distribution, or a specific clause. The estate assets may be used to hire an attorney to defend the challenge of the Will. Legal fees incurred in defending the challenged Will, its contents, clauses, or distribution are not be the personal responsibility of the Executor. Instead, under such circumstances, the legal fees are payable from the Estate. However, when an Executor has to defend claims against non-probate assets, then the circumstances change and certain limitations apply. Probate assets consist of any asset that is owned solely by the decedent and are distributed to heirs by the court. Probate assets may include real property that is titled solely in the decedent’s name or held as a tenant in common; Personal property, such as jewelry, furniture, and automobiles; bank accounts that are solely in the decedent’s name; an interest in a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company; any life insurance policy or brokerage account that lists either the decedent or the estate as the beneficiary. A non-probate asset is as an asset which

does not “pass” through the decedent’s Estate, and bypasses the court process by transferring directly to the beneficiaries. Non-probate assets include property that is held in joint tenancy or as tenants by the entirety; bank or brokerage accounts held in joint tenancy or with payable on death (POD) or transfer on death (TOD) beneficiaries; property held in a trust; life insurance or brokerage accounts that list someone other than the decedent as the beneficiary; retirement accounts. If a party to a Will challenges the transfer of a non-probate asset, an Executor may be forbidden from utilizing Estate assets to defend against such a claim. When a transfer of non-probate assets benefits the Executor of the Estate to the exclusion of other beneficiaries, then the Executor will not be allowed to use the Estates assets to pay legal fees in defense of such a dispute. Should an Executor use the assets of the Estate to make such payments, then these assets may be payable back to the Estate by the Executor. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full-service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

BUSINESS PROFILE Oliverie Funeral Home Provides Second Location For Life Celebration

By Bob Vosseller The Oliverie Funeral Home recently opened its second location with a special celebration. Surrounded by family, friends, staff and officials from the funeral industry, owner and founder Geraldine Oliverie said she was very proud of this accomplishment. Oliverie was the first in her family to pursue a career in funeral directing and she, along with her family’s support, opened her first funeral home in Lakehurst in 1987. Michael Hennicke worked for the Oliverie Funeral Home part-time after their marriage in 1988. The Lakehurst home was small and served approximately 50 families per year. The couple took a leap of faith in 2001 and opened a new location in nearby Manchester Township. Her husband, became the Oliverie Funeral Home’s second full time funeral director. The new facility was larger and allowed them to better serve the community as well as provided a home above the business where they raised their three children, Marissa, Bridget, and Michael. Geraldine Oliverie remarked that “the first year of business was a struggle, but we worked long hours and even maintained the landscaping ourselves to help cut costs.” The funeral industry first piqued her interest when she was only five years old. Her grandmother passed away suddenly and her parents did not allow her to attend the funeral. Her curiosity grew into a passion, and she graduated Ocean County College before attending the American

Academy McAllister Institute of Funeral Services in New York City where she graduated with honors as class Vice President in 1984. Michael graduated from The University of South Carolina before attending the American Academy McAllister Institute of Funeral Services, class of 1988. Prior to his career in funeral directing, Michael worked for Clayton Limousine Service in Spring Lake. Their Manchester Township based funeral home utilizes new methods and technology to adapt to the ever-changing industry. This location serves over 200 families per year and strives to make a difference in the community through its multitude of community service opportunities and its involvement with various charities. The Oliverie Funeral Home in Manchester hosts an annual flu clinic where community members can receive a flu vaccine free of charge. They also host an annual blood drive alongside the American Red Cross. The business also collects cereal for a food drive and actively supports the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore, the American Cancer Society which honored Geraldine as the Humanitarian of the Year. She has been a member of the Lakehurst-Manchester Rotary Club since 1989 and the Oliverie Funeral Home in Manchester has been awarded the “Best of the Best” in Ocean County for 10 years running, and has been honored for its “Pursuit of Excellence” by the National Funeral Director Association for almost a decade. The business has also

been recognized nationally by the Order of the Golden Rule twice for their outstanding community service. Geraldine has been named the Funeral Director of the Year in 2020 and also received the Golden Light Award for her extensive community involvement. Geraldine Oliverie said she hopes the Funeral Home continue their reputation as pillars of the community in their new Jackson location at 125 South Cooks Bridge Road. The couple looks forward to developing their business and using their large facility to serve local families in unique ways. The new funeral home is a state-of-the-art facility that is the only home in Ocean County to partner with Life Celebration which Oliverie said, “offers truly customized and individual funerals and memorial services.” The new facility features an elegant banquet facility, The Wisteria, as well as an atrium café for patrons. The Café features soft drinks, tea, coffee espresso, cappuccino, sandwiches, muffins and cookies. “In Manchester we have food outside. Here (in Jackson) we have a food license,” Oliverie added. Bringing a new level of tribute for loved ones who have passed, the Jackson facility also provides for video screens in each viewing room that provides an audio-visual memory of their life. “Jackson is our newest and most modern life celebration home. Mike and I have been developing this new concept for many years and after six long years, we are here to celebrate the hard work and

The new Oliverie Funeral Home in Jackson Township features a banquet facility, The Wisteria, as well as an atrium café for patrons.

effort that it took to be open today,” Oliverie said. She also thanked her attorney Robert C. Shea, Aquatecture and Pr1ma Builders and those responsible for constructing and designing the facility and for making it as beautiful as it is. “We are pleased to present the life celebration home that we have envisioned. We celebrate your loved one in many ways. From videos to props either provided by family or our funeral home.” “We help you heal by helping you celebrate the traits that make your loved one who they were. What you remember and loved most about them. You get to honor them during their funeral. Whether during or after the life celebration we now offer a banquet facility on the premises. Never has this been done before in New Jersey,” she added. “Now more than ever, families need a place to console one another and feed both their minds and body,” Oli-

verie said. The staff directory also includes Funeral Directors Christopher Farrant and May Boyce, intern Joyce Blodgett and their grief therapy cat Serena. “I really want to congratulate the entire Oliverie family, the workers and everyone associated with this facility. It really was a work of love for the Oliverie family for the last six-seven years, this plot of land was originally approved for a 38-unit condominium complex, so you can imagine the dynamics of changing this facility to what it could have been. It was significant. They are truly visionaries in what they achieved here,” Shea of Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law said. New Jersey State Funeral Directors Associates Executive Director George Kelder said, “a funeral home tends to both the living and the dead because a death in the family happens to both. Since the mid-1990s Gerry

and Mike and their staff have assisted the communities of Lakehurst and Manchester in confronting and disposing of their dead. They helped them and all those who are left behind to remember.” Kelder added, “they have now expanded this noble offering into this beautiful new contemporary facility in Jackson. As funeral directors they offer to us every day a reassuring gesture, a smile, a kind word and a listening ear.” Monmouth Ocean Funeral Director Association President Bruce Polcino said, “this is not only brick and mortar, this is blood, sweat and tears. A lot of work went into this. I have known Gerry and Mike for many years on a professional and personal level. I can tell you they are caring people and they are very devoted to their community. I know the families that walk through this door will be treated with the upmost respect, dignity and trust.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 25 - july 1 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Commitment is king. Making impulsive changes to your business plans or family budget can place you in an awkward position. Be true to your word in the week ahead and your honesty and loyalty should reap dividends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be wrapped up in romance as the week begins but pay attention to what is going on in the outside world, too. Tune into the news to remain aware of current events to avoid making serious career miscalculations. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Feedback from your friends may vary from positive to negative in the week to come even if you only have the best intentions. Act according to the highest principles when you must make significant financial decisions. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Plant yourself where conditions can powerfully support your growth. Financial schemes and opportunities can be put to good use in the week ahead. Romantic partners may be more lovable than usual. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The secret to success is to focus on working closely with loved ones and partners to achieve worthwhile goals. Remain persistent despite any setbacks. Build something up in the week ahead rather than tearing something down. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Trying to use a friendship to dig for information can backfire. Too many questions may arouse suspicions or make someone feel that their boundaries have been crashed. A loved one’s common sense can be useful this week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Be too passionate about supporting your family to make permanent plans with unreliable people -- someone might change their mind at the last minute. The week ahead may clarify the evidence of someone’s trustworthiness. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Embrace an opportunity to express love and enjoy romance. Weave interesting people, ideas, and things into the web of your life as the week unfolds. Engage in a study or investigation that gives you fresh purpose. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Nurture your inner strengths in the upcoming week. You may be wiser and more astute about the practical aspects of life, especially when handling money. Avoid people who take advantage of your generosity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Yes, you may be lucky in love and lucky with money. However, life always requires demonstrating your intention by working hard, too. You may be motivated to pursue financial and material success. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Following the group consensus might not be the best way to achieve your ambitions. In the week to come, a partner could set a good example of how to use drive, determination, and focus to help yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When you are in the right place at the right time, you can take advantage of sweet deals. Make the most of opportunities to strike a compromise in the week ahead to avoid misunderstandings and to be more successful.
