By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Township fi refighters and police officers hit a home run when it came to raising funds for a good cause recently. They faced off on the diamond in Lakewood but their aim wasn’t as much to bring home a trophy but to raise funds for Jake’s Got This, a township-based organization that aids children who have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

Schools: Substitutes Sought, Construction Projects Updated By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Superintendent Nicole Pormilli announced during a recent Board of Education meeting that the school district was hiring substitutes. “In the past we have used a service contractor to have substitutes
in the district. We are no longer using that contractor and we are hiring substitutes within the school district. You would be a substitute employee of the Jackson school district. It is a good place to work, please come, an application is on our
website.” This wasn’t the only change going on in the district over the summer. Board President Michael Walsh reported that the Buildings and Grounds Committee met and went over a number of projects. “Right now, we have
some construction going on at the fuel depot for transportation. “We have some projects going on with the electric garbage truck and the building of the station to power it up. Electric buses are also on tonight’s agenda. There is work at the
Goetz School that is going on. They are putting up new walls. There is plumbing work going on,” Walsh added. He noted that plumbing work at Jackson Memorial High School was almost finished but “starting in September, (School - See Page 5)

Mayor Won’t Seek Assemblyman’s Seat By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Mayor Michael Reina announced he is not currently seeking the seat of 12th District Assemblyman Ron Dancer, who died on July 23 at the age of 73 after a prolonged illness. Dancer served as lawmaker in Ocean County for 20 years. Prior to that, he served as Plumsted Township’s mayor for 21 years. Reina made a public statement saying, “I’ve made no mistake that
one day I would like to represent the people of the 12th Legislative District as their Assemblyman but after much consideration and in consultation with trusted advisors, I have decided today is not that day. “When I entered the race for Mayor of Jackson Township in 2008 I did so as a candidate truly devoted to the notion of public service, placing the needs of the hardworking residents (Mayor - See Page 5)
Change Coming For Trash Containers By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Township officials moved forward in amending a trash container ordinance to lighten the load for residents. A vendor had appea red before t he cou nci l la st mont h making the case that p e o ple d oi n g c o n st r uction on homes don’t need a survey of the property just to prove to the town where the trash container will be. He said it would be costly for the homeowner and a dde d more pap e rwork for the town. A simple sketch should be enough to tell the town where the receptacle would be. His comments prompted a discus-
sion among members of the council on how to approach this issue. The ordinance refers to large receptacles like Dumpsters. Cou ncilman Alex Sauickie said during that meeting that he saw the logic behind the request to modify the ordinance and to allow for a sketch so as not to hurt the client with an added cost that would extend beyond the township application fee. Township Attorney G regor y McGuck in s a id a c o u n c i l m a n had requested a minor change in the wording in paragraph five of the ordinance - section “placement and conditions” - and (Trash - See Page 18)

Continued From Page 1 They engaged in some good-natured ball play on the field at Shore Town Ballpark for the first ever Jake’s Got This Special Friends Charity Softball Game. The Jackson PBA softball team - appropriately dressed in a blue Jakes Got This (JGT) jersey - offered up around 15 players who are on the field each week. They play in a Jersey Shore police league and were ready for action. All four Jackson fire departments had a group that donned a red version of the same jersey. Their team was made up of both volunteer and paid firefighters and junior members who were playing together for the first time to support the cause. Police Officer Jeff Henba acknowledged there was a friendly rivalry between the police department and fire department teams prior to the game. The two red and blue teams weren’t new to a friendly competitive rivalry. They previously played against each other at basketball courts and football
games but this was their f irst time facing off in a softball game. “Such a great time, so many smiles,” said Shannon Kulesa, who heads the Foundation. Her 9-year-old son, Jake, was diagnosed as having infant brain damage when he was only 13 months old. “Here at the Jake’s Got This Foundation we look to provide guidance and recom mend at ions f rom exper ience, help navigating the world of health i n s u r a nc e a nd s up p or t t o fa m i l ie s with children under the age of 18,” she added. “The Foundation looks to connect families with the resources they need, as well as other families who understand the daily struggles we face. We are always open to new ideas and therapies to help our kids get stronger each day.” Funds raised from the softball game will help provide support and financial assistance, including therapy sessions for children diagnosed with cerebral palsy at an intensive program, the Key to CP, in Rochester, N.Y., where Jake received therapy, she added. The first six innings were devoted (Fundraiser - See Page 6)

Mayor:
Continued From Page 1 of the town that I truly love before any personal aspirations. I’m proud to say that after nearly 14 years I have not waivered and remain resolute in my commitment to serving Jackson’s residents,” Reina added. The mayor said, “Jackson Township is the most dynamic municipality in Ocean County, if not all of New Jersey. As our population continues to grow and become more diverse and as businesses continue to invest in our community, there is simply too much at stake to trust the work to unsteady and untested leadership. There remains much to be done and I intend to see the job through to its completion.” “Thank you to the many supporters who encouraged me to seek the office of Assembly but effective immediately, I am withdrawing my name from consideration,” Reina said. He concluded saying, “there remain many qualified candidates in the race and I hope that all Committee members will give due consideration to each.” Ron Dancer Remembered Members of the Township Council shared condolences and memories of Dancer during a recent meeting. Councilman Steve Chisholm said of Dancer, “I really enjoyed Ron. Any time we interacted it was always an enjoyable
The Jackson Times, August 6, 2022, Page 5 conversation. He was a good and godly man which back in the day may not have sounded too unusual but in politics today - especially in New Jersey - that not a very common occurrence.” “He will be sorely missed not just in the legislature in fighting for what is right but to his family and friends who knew him. My condolences to his family,” Chisholm added. Councilman Alex Sauickie also expressed his condolences. “The residents of legislative district 12 lost a great man and while that district includes Jackson and while his roots were in Plumsted/New Egypt he certainly did a lot for Jackson. “He certainly worked with this governing body very well. If we ever needed anything, he was there for us. My condolences to his wife Brenda and his family. He was one of those people who you see working in government and you aspire to be just like him,” Sauickie said. Council Vice President Andrew Kern said Dancer’s passing “is a terrible loss to this community and a very large loss that the people don’t even realize yet how much Ron did. I had the absolute privilege to serve with him for the past two years on the Ocean County Board of Social Services. “He was chairman of that board for over 20 years and he worked tirelessly to make sure people got the assistance they needed. That to me is the most important thing you can do while you are here,” Kern added.
School:

The f ire alar m system at Goetz is being upgraded and Holman School is having their stage repaired,” Walsh said concluding his report. The transportation committee will be scheduling a meeting in late September and most other committees also reported they were not meeting over the summer or were meeting next month. Boa rd member Giuseppe Pal mer i said the Policy Com mit tee met and discussed the high student representatives to the board. They also went over the Every Student Succeeds Act, Care of School Property policy, and the School District issuance of Identification cards.

We have a repor t that is for mulated for that. We’ve been using the same company for about 20 years. They have decided to close their doors.” She said that they reached out to other districts to see what company they were using. They received three names. They reviewed the proposals and chose Capital Valuation Asset Service. “There is a lot of learning going on even though the schools are closed. There is development going and the administrators and teachers are doing curriculum development and there is a lot of work going on with the grounds and facilities so there is a lot of work going on around here. The kids are also very active around here,” Walsh added.

Continued From Page 4 to watching the men in blue vs. the men in red while the seventh inning st retch focused on raff les and then Jake’s ‘special friends’ came onto the field. Those are eight youngsters from the community who each have cerebral palsy or some sort of mobility disorder.
Jackson Police defeated the firefighters 7-0 and went on to play Jake’s team of special friends who then won their game against the police with a little help from the firemen. “The police department did an awesome job playing against Jake’s team and making their game lots of fun to watch. So many of the kids on Jake’s team have never been given the opportunity to participate in something like
this,” Kulesa said. She added, “to be a part of a team like this, the smiles and laughs from the kids while playing were amazing. It completely brought a new side of the foundation to light for us. It’s not just about raising money to help with therapies and medical bills.” Kulesa said the event was also about “creat i ng f u n i nclusive com mu n it y events special needs kids can join in,
have fun and just be kids. Events like this are a much needed to have some family fun with friends in a positive atmosphere.” “We were able to schedule the second of the three kids for their intensive therapy in NY. She’ll be going in just a few weeks. Our first girl Brooke just returned last week after a full week of i nt e n sive t he r a py. T he ch a nge s were nothing shy of amazing,” Kulesa added. “The first day her posture and gait changed dramatically. By the end of the week, they had her standing independently using both hands to help make pancakes. Sounds simple, but for a girl who was never able to fully use one of her arms/hands to now be able to make breakfast and feed herself with that hand is incredible.” Kulesa thanked the sponsors of the event who included: Amazing Athletes Spor ts Training, Garden State Fire, Kaye Pump Services, and Persons Farm and Greenhouses. Around 8,000 children are born each year in the United States who receive a cerebral palsy diagnosis according to the JGT website. Cost is the “barrier that keeps them from reaching their full potential even with medical insurance.” Kulesa said the JGT Foundation aims to remove that financial barrier so children with cerebral palsy can have access the necessary resources of therapeutic programs that have proven to be very successful. “We are already excited for next year’s game already,” Kulesa said.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Facebook, Twitter Urged To Fight Disinformation Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was joined by Senators Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.) in calling on the CEOs of Meta, Twitter, and Telegram to substantially increase efforts to moderate content by Russian state media services
RT en Español and Sputnik Mundo – the cornerstone of the Kremlin’s Spanish language disinformation and propaganda system – as Putin’s illegal war against Ukraine rages on. The senators’ call comes against the backdrop of persistent and growing efforts by Russia to target the Western Hemisphere through information operations, particularly through Spanish-language disinformation, with a goal to spread falsehoods about Putin’s actions in Ukraine, polarize societies, and ultimately undermine democratic governance in the region.
“As Putin’s regime takes increasingly draconian measures to prevent its own citizens from accessing the truth, by blocking social media and stamping out any remaining semblance of independent media in the country, Russian state media continues to exploit the platform provided by [Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, and Telegram] to amplify and export its lies abroad,” the senators wrote. “[D] isinformation campaigns by Russian state media’s Spanish-language outlets targeted at Latin American and Caribbean audiences regularly reach Spanish-speaking communities in the United States, directly harming our national interests. We are deeply concerned by reports that
the operations and reach of such outlets have only increased amid Putin’s actions in Ukraine.” The senators also called on the platforms to dedicate additional resources to ensure parity between efforts to identify and moderate the spread and amplification of all Spanish-language disinformation content about Russia’s vicious assault in Ukraine and efforts to mitigate the spread of such disinformation in English. “In these extraordinary circumstances, we must remain vigilant about the ability of known purveyors of Russian disinformation to propagate falsehoods about Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, whether in Spanish or any other language,” the senators added.
Voting Reform Laws To Strengthen New Jersey Elections From The Desk Of The
Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy reaffirmed his commitment to securing access to voting rights by signing a series of bills to strengthen New Jersey’s elections. They build on reforms to expand democracy enacted during the Murphy Administration, including automatic voter registration and in-person early voting.
“Across the nation, we continue to see one of our nation’s core principles come under attack as states restrict access to the ballot,” said Gove r n o r M u r p h y. “ I a m proud to sign legislation that will make democracy more accessible, more transparent, and stronger in our state. New Jersey will continue to move forward as we ensure that the democratic process is secure and protected.” “With this bill package, New Jersey continues to expand access to the ballot box and provide additional resources to our election officials, while strength-
ening the security of our elections,” Secretary of State Tahesha Way said. “The right to vote is the ver y foundation of our democracy and we are committed to making voting as safe, simple, and transparent as possible.” The Governor signed the following bills into law: A-1969/S -138 ( Mu k her ji, Su mter, Egan/Diegnan, Greenstein) - Allows minors to ser ve as election workers between 5:30 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. on election days A-3817/S -2863 ( Ver relli, Benson / Zwicker, Gopal) - Requires ballot privacy sleeves at polling place; makes various changes to early and mail-in voting procedures; creates online form
to update name and residence on existing voter registration record A-3819/S -2868 ( Mu k her ji, D u n n, St a n ley/Cr ya n , G op a l) - Sp e ci f ie s circumstances when voter will be removed from permanent vote by mail status and when ballot will be sent to primary address; requires educational campaign; makes appropriation of $5 million A-3820/S-2869 (Karabinchak, Jaffer, Stanley/Cryan, Gopal) - Prohibits unaffiliated mail-in voters from receiving mail-in ballot for primary election; requires election officials to provide such voters certain notices; prohibits mail-in ballot envelopes from containing (Government - See Page 10)

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Outdoor Recreational Safety & Co-Existing With Wildlife
Renee Thomaier Retired New Jersey State Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator JERSEY SHORE - Disposing of items in outdoor trash receptacles is an invitation to scavengers like raccoons, skunks and a variety of birds. Since public trash containers typically have no lids to them, or are easily broken into, the likelihood of wildlife encountering food and recreational items is much greater than if you took your trash home with you. Many items can be recycled. Contact your local recycling program for their disposal requirements. FISHING LINE and NETTING – Place the line into a container or clear zip lock bag. Entangled animals become entrapped and the struggle to free themselves leads to feather damage and lacerations. PLEASE RECYCLE. Fishing line left behind is a huge problem for birds, turtles, and a variety of marine mammals. As a wildlife rehabilitator I have removed fishing line from the legs of birds who became victims becoming entangled in fishing line on their legs/feet. I’ve seen cases where the bird’s legs were entangled for so long, toes and sometimes an entire foot was severed. FISHING HOOKS – Place the hook into a container and take it home with you. Fishing hooks left behind are dangerous to people and
wildlife. An increasing number of people are experiencing injuries involving hooks. Various birds and marine mammals are attracted to shiny objects, and unknowingly ingest these hooks. Hooks left behind in released fish can also be ingested by their predators. FOOD CONTAINERS – Placing your containers back into your cooler or travel gear is a convenient way to keep wildlife away from them and an easy way to transport them home. PLEASE RECYCLE. PLASTIC 6-PACK RINGS FOR CANS/ BOTTLES – Take these holders home and cut them into small pieces. PLEASE RECYCLE. PLASTIC GROCERY/SHOPPING BAGS - These bags can become easily caught on tree limbs, end up in sewers and waterways. The statistics are startling regarding the number of marine mammals and birds that have ingested plastic and died of starvation, become entangled in, and died as a result. Birds often line their nests with bags which later ends up causing dangers to their young. PLEASE RECYCLE. Note that this information is general and does not address every problem or solution. Should you require assistance, I am happy to help. To reach me please call 732-244-2768. It is illegal to possess wildlife for any reason without the proper state and/or federal permits.
Insurance Rates For School Employees Might Raise NEW JERSEY – Proposed increases to health insurance rates for the School Employees Health Benef its Program (SEH BP) would have a sig nif icant, detrimental impact on the budgets of the state’s Community Colleges. If enacted, these increases, which may total more than $14 million per year for the colleges within our system, will undermine Community Colleges’ efforts to provide affordable and high-quality education to more than 200,000 students each year, including those who struggle to afford college. This unexpected, proposed increase, thrust on the institutions serving the most at-risk population of st udents, will also have a crippling effect on
Community Colleges’ ability to fulfill their mission of access and support for the most vulnerable college students. The proposed increase will also cause New Jersey’s Community Colleges to struggle to meet the critical workforce and other needs of employers which will cause further damage to the state’s economy. The New Jersey Council of County Colleges and the state’s Community Colleges urge the Plan Design Committee for the SEHBP to release all information relating to this possible increase as soon as possible, and we further urge the Governor and the legislature to work together to find appropriate solutions that will minimize any possible increases.

You have the power to optimize your cognition by adopting a combination of key healthy lifestyle habits and being aware of your overall wellness. Studies show that taking proactive steps may help reduce your risk of memory loss and other forms of cognitive decline. Depicted below are evidence based recommendations to proactively manage lifestyle-related risk factors and certain medical conditions that may affect cognition. Stay Mentally Fit: Exercising your mind can help your brain perform at its best. Participating in cognitively stimulating activities may help sharpen certain thinking skills that tend to diminish with age. Have fun engaging your brain by reading books, playing games and doing puzzles. Maintain Connections: Being socially active is brain friendly. Studies have shown that increased social activity is linked to a lower rate of cognitive decline. To stay social, connect with friends and family, or consider volunteering for a local organization. Exercise Regularly: Exercising your body can help keep your brain in shape. Research supports a strong link between physical activity and brain health. It is recommended to get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity a week. Any activity that gets your heart pumping counts as aerobic activity, such as walking, dancing, and biking.
Eat Healthy: Eating right feeds a healthy body and mind. Food that is good for your overall health is good for your brain. Consider having a balanced diet. Sleep & Relax: Getting a good night’s sleep rests your body and mind. Insufficient sleep can not only make a person irritable, it can affect memory and decision making. Healthy adults need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per night. Hearing: Hearing health is important to your cognitive health. Hearing impairment has been recognized as a modifiable contributor to cognitive decline when identified in mid-life. Optimal Vision: Manage or prevent vision impairment. Research has found the relationship between cognitive decline and vision impairment may be a modifiable risk factor. To manage or prevent vision impairment, schedule regular visits with your vision healthcare provider. Medication Management: Medication management is important to your overall health. Taking your medicine as prescribed is important for overall health. Reviewing your meds with your healthcare provider or pharmacist is an integral part of medication management. Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer your questions regarding your overall hearing health. Please call 732-818-3610 (Toms River & Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) or visit us at www.gardenstatehearing.com.

5 Weird Reasons For Hiccups And Potential Therapies By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
For most of you, hiccups happen for a few minutes and resolve on their own. Most of the time it happens because you’ve swallowed too much air while drinking or eating. Or maybe you’ve had a beer, or soda pop, or went from a warm house into the freezing cold! These are all causes for hiccups. Either way, these short-term hiccups go away on their own. But what if they didn’t stop for days or weeks at a time? One man had hiccups for 20 years before he found resolution! Having hiccups for a long time will cause malnourishment, dehydration, mental stress, chest pain, abdominal discomfort, and problems in your relationship. Not to mention you can’t speak properly anymore! If you have been experiencing hiccups for a while, I’m sure you’ve seen your doctor. If you have not, then that is number one on your to-do list. The reason is that your physician cannot effectively treat you unless the cause is known. Next, jot down all your medications. Don’t forget anything. For example, you may have had a lumbar injection for your sciatica or dental work. Include all the medications and treatments in the prior 7 days and share this with your physician. A handful of medical causes for intractable hiccups traditionally teased out include diabetes, brain tumors, gastrointestinal reflux, spinal cord infections and chest trauma. But it’s the less frequent causes that I’m writing about today. Here are 5 weird reasons for persistent hiccups: 1. Steroid use - Medications taken orally (or
by injection) that belong to the corticosteroid category can trigger long-lasting hiccups. Of the medication category, dexamethasone is the worst offender. 2. Thyroid Nodules or Goiters - You may not even realize you have a thyroid problem, because tests are not always conclusive. And with hiccups, doctors don’t automatically look at your thyroid, it is simply that unusual! So I’m listing this because goiters, nodules and hyperthyroidism can lead to intractable hiccup episodes. 3. Pericarditis - This is inflammation of the heart tissue which can cause not only persistent hiccups, but many other symptoms like weakness, fatigue, heart palpitations, shortness of breath and leg swelling. 4. Shingles - At times, people have been known to have a prodromal warning of the onset of herpes zoster which causes shingles. 5. Medications - Many different prescribed and over-the-counter medications can lead to intractable hiccups. These include tranquilizers, medications for mental health, antihistamines, and some blood pressure pills. As you probably already know, short-term hiccups can be received by holding your breath for a few seconds or drinking some water. But these tricks don’t work for intractable hiccups. Oftentimes, medication is needed and today we have several options that your doctor can prescribe. These include risperidone, gabapentin, phenytoin, and baclofen. I have a much more comprehensive article on this topic that includes more bizarre causes for hiccups. That is available at my website, suzycohen.com.

BROWNS MILLS − U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in hospital rankings and consumer advice, has named Deborah Heart and Lung Center as a 20222023 High Performing hospital for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair, Heart Attack, Heart Bypass Surgery, and Heart Failure. This is the highest award a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings. The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures. Deborah Heart and Lung Center earned High Performing ratings for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair, Heart Attack, Heart Bypass Surgery, and Heart Failure, in recognition of care that was significantly better than the national average, as measured by factors such as patient outcomes. “We are very pleased to be recognized by U.S. News & World Report with these ratings,” said Joseph Chirichella, President and CEO of Deborah Heart and Lung Center. “U.S. News & World Report is a valued tool that reaches consumers and providers alike, allowing for decision-making based on objective metrics. To achieve High Performance ratings in four of our key specialty services is a mark of distinction that reflects our commitment to safety, quality and pa-
tient satisfaction. When one adds this rating to the many other outstanding consumer and professional medical awards we have received, we believe Deborah stands firmly as a nationally recognized cardiac center.” For the 2022-2023 Best Hospitals rankings and ratings, U.S. News evaluated more than 4,500 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions. Fewer than half of all hospitals received any High Performing rating, and only four earned this rating in all procedures and conditions. State and metro area rankings reflect the highest performing hospitals in the area across multiple areas of care. “When patients are considering their options for care, the Best Hospitals ratings are designed to help them identify hospitals that excel in the kind of care they may need,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “A hospital that’s earned a High Performing rating in a service may be a good option for patients in need of that service and their medical professionals to consider.” The U.S. News Procedures & Conditions methodology is based entirely on objective measures of quality such as survival rates, patient experience, and how successfully each hospital helps patients get back home.

The team opened only the RWJBar nabas Health Third Base Gate, and Palmer came through as Friday’s 650th fan and the team’s 8-millionth. “Congratulations to Kristen on being the BlueClaws 8 millionth fan,” said BlueClaws Team President Joe Ricciutti. “8 million fans obviously means a lot to the BlueClaws, but for us it’s most about the support from the community. The Jersey Shore community has embraced the BlueClaws since day one and for that we are certainly grateful.” As the 8 millionth fan, Palmer receives a prize package including eight nights in a Luxury Suite in 2023, eight tickets to every remaining BlueClaws game this year, plus eight boardwalk game tickets to each game this year. Additionally, the BlueClaws will match the tickets to 2022 games by way of a donation of to eight charities of her choice. She also threw out a ceremonial first pitch at Friday’s game. “We’re well on our way to 9 million,”
said Ricciutti. “Tonight was our eighth sell-out crowd of the season and even after this weekend we still have four great homestands to come. It’s an exciting time to be a part of and a fan of the Jersey Shore BlueClaws.” Rob Merten of Clark became the 7 millionth fan in team history on July 27, 2017. The BlueClaws, the Shore’s Hometown Team, have 26 games remaining this year at ShoreTown Ballpark. August’s promotional schedule includes three Thirsty Thursdays, three fireworks nights, Star Wars Night (August 5th presented by NJR Home Services), a live performance from Splintered Sunlight (August 20 as part of the Bell’s Brewery Summer Concert Series), and much more. The BlueClaws are the Jersey Shore’s top stop for affordable, family entertainment. ShoreTown Ballpark brings the best of the Jersey Shore together in one night out with friends and family.

─Photo courtesy Toms River Little League Hall Of Excellence Todd Frazier then and now. By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – He’s been a Yankee, a Met, an Olympian and more, now Todd Frazier has been inducted into the Little League Hall of Excellence. “More than 20 years since he helped lead the Toms River East Little League team to the 1998 Little League Baseball World Series championship, Todd Frazier continues to be synonymous with our iconic event each summer,” said Stephen D. Keener, Little League President and CEO, noting that this year is the 75th Anniversary of the Little League Baseball World Series. “Since his time as a player here in Williamsport, and throughout his entire MLB and Olympic Baseball career, Todd has been a tremendous supporter, friend, and advocate of the Little League program and we are honored to welcome him into our Hall of Excellence this year as we celebrate 75 years of this incredible event.” Frazier was one of the 1998 Little League Baseball World Series Championship team from Toms River East American Little League, often referred to as “The Beast from the East.” Listing some of his stats from the series,
the Hall noted he hit a home run in all but one of every game he appeared in. In the five games his team played, he went 9-for15 with four home runs (including a grand slam), drove in 10 RBI, and scored 11 runs. In the Championship Game alone, he went 4-for-4 with a lead-off home run and was the winning pitcher. He went on to become a member of the Reds, White Sox, Yankees, Mets, Rangers, Pirates and the U.S. Olympic team more than once. He hit 218 home runs and batted .241 over his 11 years in the Major Leagues. He retired this year. The statement announcing his induction into the Hall also noted his charitable causes and upstanding behavior on and off the field. With the honor, Frazier joins fellow Little League Baseball World Series graduates Don Beaver (1952), Brian Sipe (1961), Ron Ricks (1962), Lloyd McClendon (1971), Staff Sgt. Wilbert Davis (1975), Pierre Turgeon (1982), Chris Drury (1989), Michael Cammarata (1991), Krissy Wendell (2004), and Austin Dillon (2002) as members of the Hall of Excellence.

Inside The Law Injured At Work?! Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!
Christopher R. Shea Esq.
By: Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s
authorization. Further, it is important to note another critical benefit of the Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. 732-505-1212.

Trash:
Continued From Page 1 added wording that an area “should be paved if a container is present.” Councilman Steve Chisholm noted, “I wa nted to relay to t he fact t hat council has been listening to the public not just when we are passing these ordinances and tr ying to preserve the quality-of-life issues we have all come to know and love, but also when there are residential concer ns that we may have done something wrong. “We are not looking to have inopportune issues which put a burden onto the public so we are amending that. We are listening to you and being as responsible as we are possibly able to, moving at the pace of gover nment,” Chisolm added. No one came for ward from the public to make any additional comments about the ordinance which was unanimously approved by those present. Councilman Nino Bor relli was absent for that meeting. Mea nwh ile, ord i na nce 22-22 was introduced. The measure establishes
cer tain no parking zones on Larson Road and County Route 14. It will be up for a public hearing and vote on August 9. Park Improved, Vehicles Bought A lighting improvement was voted on at the Bartley Road softball f ield. Ker n thanked Business Administrator Terence Wall and Mayor Michael Reina in regards to that resolution. “ T h i s i s s o m e t h i n g we h ave b e e n looking at for quite some time. They were able to get it i nto t h is yea r’s budget which is absolutely amazing. The girls that use that f ield will now be able to have evening games. This is a great thing.” Other purchases included two Ford Explorer vehicles for the Jackson Police Department at a cost of $80,759.30 from Fire Ford. Seven police i nterceptor vehicles were also approved for purchase for the police department in the amount of $251,339.41 from Buyer Ford. Both vehicle purchases were made through a co-op vendor. PNA Constr uction Inc. was also authorized for a contract involving the
tow nsh ip’s 2022 road i mprovement program. Councilman Martin Flemming said of those resolutions, “as we grow our police force this is some of the expenses that come with it. We need cars for them and we will keep them well equipped. These are important acquisitions and will keep our guys safe.” Councilman Blasts State Plan Chisholm took issue with Gover nor Phil Mur phy once again regarding the manner in which the administration was add ressing the issue of mental health in the state. While he said that giving focus to that issue was a good thing, he questioned a $28.8 million expenditure for an emergency phone system. This is in reference to a new phone number people having mental health issues can call in an emergency. The n e w nu mb e r i s 988. It ’s ava i l a ble 24/7 for call, text, or chat for those experiencing a mental health-related or suicidal crisis, or those looking to help a loved one through a crisis. The existing Lifeline number, 1-800-2738255, will also continue to be avail-
able, state off icials said. Of the $28.8 million, $12.8 million was for implementing the call center and $16 million was for mobile crisis respon se to suppor t i nd iv idu als i n crisis who need in-person care. “ I’m p r e t t y s u r e we c ou ld ge t a hot line up and r un ning but what do we need $28 million for? W hat are we pay i ng p e ople t o a n swe r t he se phones?” the councilman asked rhetorically. Chisholm f ur ther asked, “what are we doing with this money? A re we going to f ind out it is like DMV (Depar t ment of Motor Vehicle) in a few years? Once again, the gover n ment goes out and creates a problem and then they th row money down the rat hole t r yi ng to add ress the problem they created.” Ch ishol m added t hat wh ile t here have always been mental health issues “ they created this with COVID with their response with lockdowns, allowing marijuana and other things to go r un ning th rough our state. We all k now what that does to the mental health of young minds. I don’t thin k this is the right way to go.”

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of AUG 6 - AUG 12 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Opportunities are looming on the horizon. If you ignore them, you might not have another chance. Your tribe may prove their loyalty in the upcoming week. If or when things break, fix them. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Avoid problems in the week ahead by treating every person and task with extra mindfulness. Someone may seem hard to please and/or your work may be scrutinized, so issues could be magnified. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): An opportunity to better yourself may be just what is needed to achieve your goals. Friends might share powerful insights in the week to come that create a beneficial chain reaction. Make sure you note valuable ideas. CANCER (June 21-July 22): There may be times in in the week ahead when harmless flirtations could be misconstrued by others and lead to a misunderstanding. Money, possessions and values could be an important part of your motivations. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Next week, you may dare the unusual rather than settle for the ordinary. Your energies and enthusiasms are probably firing on all cylinders so upgrade your reputation and make headway with creative projects and studies. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make promises cautiously and honor them scrupulously. You’ll need to follow through on your obligations and do your duty. Thinking outside the box can make you appear brilliant in the week ahead.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be inspired or enlightened by someone’s reactions in the coming week. Grand ambitions are forming, so you may pivot at some point. For right now, you will be wise to be content with your present position. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You might sacrifice personal pleasures to get ahead in the upcoming week. You can make the most progress if you remain firm about upholding the highest principles. Try to understand what might seem like criticism. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This is a week when having faith in your fellow man should work out to your advantage. You could receive favorable publicity for a creative project or meet someone who introduces you to a fascinating new hobby. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may realize that your social life is in the hands of others as the week unfolds. Bills and other financial obligations could cramp your style. Take concrete steps and be diligent to reach your career goals. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be a trusted supporter of a loved one and a steadfast confidante to friends. A partner could receive extra recognition this week. Good things can come to those who wait so remain patient with difficult people. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the week ahead, you may be motivated to do better at your job or become better acquainted with your coworkers. Someone’s engaging ideas can help you make more money or share in the rewards for good work.
