–Photo by Stephanie Faughnan The Toms River Seaport Society hosted the Vintage Boat Show at Huddy Park. By Stephanie Faughnan TOMS RIVER – Crosby Stills & Nash released their memorable hit song “Wooden Ships” in 1969. Decades before, at least one of the vintage boats on display at Huddy Park last week came into existence. In the lyrics, boating on easy waters is a metaphor for getting along despite differences. Likewise, the
vintage boat show sponsored by the Toms River Seaport Society brought together people from all walks of life. Judy Nichols brought her boat here from New Gretna. She couldn’t say enough about her classic wooden Hibbard displayed on the Huddy Park lawn. “Creeky is a 1940 Hibbard and was built in (Boat - See Page 4)
Bill Would Change 55+ Rule For Senior Communities
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Another version of a bill has been introduced into the current session of the state legislature that some say could slowly break down the concept of senior communities. The bill will allow any property owner in a senior community
to “transfer property without regard to age of buyer.” However, the person who lives in that home must still be a senior. Therefore, a corporation or an investor legally could buy the property and rent it to a senior. It is unclear how this bill would
impact people renting their own home like an AirBnB. A child of a senior can take ownership of the property and allow their parent to live there, but that exception already is allowed by most senior communities. There is discussion in the bill about the fed-
eral Fair Housing Act, which allows communities to restrict based on age, whereas the Act prohibits restrictions based on things like race. The bill states that it is in accordance with the Fair Housing Act. However, if someone is allowed to live there (Bill - See Page 5)

Candidates File For School Board Election
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Local and regional school board candidates have filed to be on the ballot for the upcoming November 8 election. School board races are technically nonpartisan, so candidates aren’t listed with any political affiliation. Instead, they can choose a short slogan to represent them.
The Toms River Regional School District includes Beachwood, Pine Beach, and South Toms River. This year, one Toms River seat and the seats in Pine Beach and Beachwood are on the ballot. For the Toms River spot, incumbent Kathleen Eagan will be challenged by Daynne Glover. (Election - See Page 4)

Boat:

When Nichols’ black lab jumped out of the canoe and into Creeky’s bow, it seemed pretty obvious the pup liked the vintage boat. “I fell in love with Creeky from that moment as well,” Nichols shared. “The man who owned the boat was standing on the dock and began laughing at my reaction. I offered to buy her on the spot.” After clearing it with his grandson, the man agreed to sell Creeky to Nichols for the tidy sum of $500. The boat was painted
Election:
Continued From Page 1 Eagan began her first term in 2019. Glover, whose slogan is “For Every Child,” ran once before in 2020. In Beachwood, incumbent Alex Mizenko is not running for re-election. Lisa Magovern is running under the slogan “Our Children First.” Melissa Morrison, who ran in 2019, is running under the slogan “For Our Children.” Reuven Hendler is running under the slogan “Better Education.” The Pine Beach representative for the
all types of crazy colors, including blue and green and red and pink. Creeky’s had some major improvements since then and is a regular beauty queen entered in shows as far south as Palm Beach, Florida. Nichols says she refers to Creeky as a “she” because all boats traditionally take on female personas. Research confirms that ancient shipowners relied on goddesses to keep them safe – and honored them with feminine monikers. Richard Farina of Delaware proudly showed off a boat he said was made from two kit boxes back in 1952. The Rosa Lee is a Chris-Craft Boat and unlike Creeky has a 10-horsepower motor. “I bought her from Arthur Sutton who lived right over the Toms River bridge,” said Farina. “He was a carpenter, and it took him years to complete.”
“When I bought her ten years ago, I brought her home and did the restoration work myself,” Farina continued. “It took me about three to four years to redo everything, including the inside.” Thomas Marinovich of Boonton said he hasn’t named his Yankee Tender rowboat that he took ownership of just a couple of years ago. The wood itself shone with brilliance. “I found the boat in a very nasty area in a construction yard,” shared Marinovich. “It was surrounded by heavy machinery, which just wasn’t the right place for it.” Marinovich noticed there was water collecting in the hull, together with an assortment of leaves. He spoke to the owner and asked permission to bail the boat out and get it dried. Ultimately, Marinovich made a deal to buy the boat and fixed it. While there were many other boats on
display both in and out of the water, some smaller specimens were also eye-catching. Heinz Ricken of Cranford heads up an organization called the Scale Ship Modeler’s Association of North America. His radio-controlled boats are all models made to scale. “They all go into the water and can be controlled with a transmitter,” Ricken said. “It’s like a little box similar to the ones kids use to play on the computer.” Ricken said his organization has attempted to spur the interests of young people in the scaled models. To his disappointment, kids seem to prefer playing video games. Vendors took over much of Huddy Park, while sea loving people stopped to take in the sights. Both the United States Coast Guard and a Sea Scouts unit participated in the event.
Toms River Board of Education is currently Kevin Kidney. He is running again and will be challenged by Arley Kuehl, who is running under the slogan “Kuehl for School,” and Jessica Jablonski, who is running under the slogan “Education is Key.” The Central Regional Board of Education is made up of Berkeley, Island Heights, Seaside Heights, Seaside Park, and Ocean Gate. There are three, three-year terms on the ballot for Berkeley. Incumbents Louis Tuminaro and Denise Pavone-Wilson are running with George Dohn under the
slogan “Experienced, Honest, Dedicated.” Donnie Clyburn, Carol Cousins, and Glenn Bradford are running under the slogan “Integrity and Values.” Megan Bowens is also a candidate and has no slogan. Board member Edward Cammarato stepped down recently for personal reasons, board secretary/business administrator Kevin O’Shea said. His term was up at the end of this year. Dohn had been on the board previously but lost in last year’s election. He was appointed to take over for Cammarato at the July board meeting 7-0 and will be
sworn in at the August one. The Seaside Park representative on the Central Regional Board of Education was Tracy Mianulli for a number of years. She resigned this year because she moved out of town. She was replaced in May by Rita Kelly, O’Shea said. Mianulli’s term fi nishes out at the end of 2023. Therefore, Kelly will run in November to keep that seat until the end of next year. She is being challenged by former Seaside Park mayor Robert Matthies. For the Seaside Park local board of education race, there are two, threeyear terms available. There are also two candidates: Jasmin D. Grasso and Gary Yedman. These are both incumbents. For the Seaside Heights local board of education race, there are two people running unopposed for two, three-year seats: Timothy Smith and James Boyd. Anthony Storino is running unopposed for a two-year seat. For the Berkeley Board of Education, there are three, three year terms. Michele Shedlock, James Coffey, and Megan Ornstein are running unopposed under the slogan “Bringing Berkeley Together.” The Ocean Gate School Board election has one candidate for a three-year term, incumbent Aaron Gottesman. For the Island Heights board of education, there are two people running unopposed for two, three-year terms: Robert MacNeal and Dana Weber.

The Commissioner of Community Affairs would have the ability to penalize buyers who let underage people live there. They could also penalize the senior community’s homeowner association if they try to block the sale of a home. The current iteration of this bill is S-2537. It was introduced on May 12 and referred to Senate Community and Urban Affairs Committee. It was sponsored by Sen. Troy Singleton. The Assembly version of this bill is A-4106.

The Toms River Times, August 6, 2022, Page 5 referred to the Assembly Housing Committee. It was sponsored by Assemblywomen Yvonne Lopez and Angelica Jiminez. Berkeley Councilman Michael Signorile urged the council to pass a resolution objecting to it, and the rest of the governing body agreed. “This is just the state continuing with their war on senior communities,” he said. “We have to do everything we can to protect these communities. “It’s been a long struggle,” he said about the fight to stop bills like this. He expressed concern about the way this would be enforced, and its impact on the senior communities. Every so often a version of this bill comes before the state. It is often met with resistance from Berkeley Township as well
as the senior communities’ homeowner associations. “Whatever we have to do to stop this, we will,” Berkeley Councilwoman Sophia Gingrich said. She questioned how the all-volunteer boards of the homeowner associations would be able to police who is living in a home. If they have to hire someone to enforce this bill – and make sure that the person living in the home is indeed a senior – that will add to the dues that residents pay. “We need to maintain the integrity of our senior communities,” Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato said. “Planned retirement communities are good for towns because they have a low impact. They have their own recreation in their clubhouse,” he said, by way of an example.
However, with the slow eroding of the 55 and older rule, the senior communities will start filling up with families that have school-aged children. “Just imagine what it’ll do to our school system,” he said. Earlier in the year, Berkeley passed an ordinance that codified the senior restrictions of homeowner associations. The goal was to give more power to the enforcement of 55 and older communities. It didn’t change any of the associations’ bylaws. Rather, it supported them. The governing body members have shared that they have some of the same concerns as the residents: If too many underaged people move in, they might lose their protected status as a senior community. They also worry that landlords and real estate flippers will buy up all the homes.
it out of the ballpark this year. The 8 to 10-year-old Softball All Stars were crowned New Jersey State Champions. That win sent them to Wilkes-Barre, PA to compete in the Eastern Regional Tournament. The 12 and under Softball All Stars won the New Jersey State Championship. Unfortunately, they lost in Bristol, CT at the
Mid- Atlantic Region Tournament. The 9 to 11-year-old Baseball All-Stars were District 18 Champions. They lost in the Section 3 Championship. Yet another team, the MIT Minors AllStars (Ages 9 & 10) were the Mason Invitational Tournament Champions. This is the top competition, meaning they could not advance any further.
The 9-year-old Baseball All-Stars are the Barnegat Tournament Champions. This tournament is the top game in their age group. Like the MIT, they can not advance any further. Additionally, the Brick Little League 10-Year-Old All Stars earned second place in the NJ Section 3 Championship Tournament.

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 Governor Murphy. “I am 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 strengthening the security of our elections,” Secretary of State Tahesha Way said. “The right to vote is the very 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 (Mukherji, Sumter, Egan/ Diegnan, Greenstein) - Allows minors to serve as election workers between 5:30 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. on election days A-3817/S-2863 (Verrelli, 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 (Mukherji, Dunn, Stanley/ Cryan, Gopal) - Specifies 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 visible political affiliation or designation for certain elections A-3822/S-2865 (Coughlin, DiMaio, Stanley, Dunn, Danielsen/Zwicker, Cryan) - Changes certain mail-in ballot deadlines; permits opening and canvassing of mail-in ballots prior to election day; permits pickup schedule for certain mail-in ballots; requires confirmation notice when voter changes party affiliation at MVC A-3823/S-2867 (Sumter, Rooney, Benson, Reynolds-Jackson/Lagana, Cryan) - Requires enhanced review of death records two months prior to election; permits remote training for certain election workers; exempts election
worker compensation from taxation and remuneration A-3929/S-2899 (Mukherji, Reynolds-Jackson, Murphy/Turner, Beach) - Allows certain voters residing overseas to vote in certain elections in this State depending on overseas residency or intent to return “The only way to strengthen our democracy is to make sure we can all participate in it, and that the people have trust in the results and the process,” said Assembly Speaker Craig J. Coughlin. “Working together across the aisle, we accomplished just that with these new laws. By updating our voting systems to reflect the kind of world we live in today and ensuring the results reported on election night are easily understood and transparent, we safeguard the health of our democracy.”
LIVING WITH ONE EYE OPEN
Loss of vision in one eye can occur for a variety of reasons, from infection to stroke to extraction of the eye itself. No matter the reason, learning to live with one-sided vision can take a lot of time and lifestyle adjustments. For those with normal vision in their “good” eye, they may not notice the difference most of the time until depth perception is needed. In most cases, a bit of extra care is all that is needed to avoid situations like falling down the stairs or tripping over sidewalks. Tricks like arriving early to an event in order to select a seat that allows the best range of vision will eventually become habit. Your eyes and eyesight change often throughout your life. Annual exams help us catch eye problems early and adjust your eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions to keep your vision sharp. If it’s been a while since you’ve had an eye exam, make an appointment with SIGHTMD NEW JERSEY SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES by calling 732-3495622. We offer evening hours most nights of the week. We provide patients with a wide range of services to improve your vision. Our doctors take the time to listen to and answer your questions so that you can make the best choices to fit your unique needs and lifestyle. P.S. Because driving can be dangerous for those with vision in only one eye, those who plan to continue driving should avoid doing so at night or during inclement weather when visibility is already limited.

Following The Tracks Of Historic Railroads By Judy Smestad-Nunn POINT PLEASANT BEACH – Ocean County has a rich railroading history, partly due to its close proximity to New York City and Philadelphia. At one time, three lines operated here, and there are still some remnants of you know where to look. German Georgieff, Chief Naturalist at Wells Mills County Park in Waretown hosted a special “Railroads of Ocean County” presentation at the Point Pleasant Beach Library which was attended by about two dozen railroad buffs. Avid model train fans are called “rivet
counters” because no model is accurate enough for them, Georgieff joked, sometimes correcting historic images of trains that have the wrong number of windows, incorrect paint schemes and more, he said. The railroad was impor tant to the growth of Ocean County, he said. After the Civil War, coastal towns had rich natural resources but small populations. Local hunters and fishermen had no way of getting their goods to bigger markets unless they salted or preserved their catch. Once the railroads arrived, goods could

be shipped after being packed in ice, and locals were able to make a very good living, Georgieff said. Very few working class people could make the journey to the shore, but once the railroads started running, they could take day trips, which helped the tourism business take off, he said. The three railroads were the Tuckerton Railroad, the Pennsylvania Railroad (a subsidiary of the Philadelphia/Long Branch Railroad), and the New Jersey Central Railroad (which started out as the Raritan/Delaware Bay, then New Jersey Southern, then Central Railroad of New Jersey, and lastly Conrail, which went out of business in 1999). The Tuckerton Railroad operated in New Jersey from 1871 until 1936. Initially the train ran a short track including West Creek, Manahawkin, Barnegat, Beach Haven and Whiting. Track was built past Tuckerton station to the waterfront at Edge Cove to connect with steamships that took vacationers to Long Beach Island. The three major railroads intersected in Whiting. Tuckerton Railroad was later expanded with tracks connecting to New York, Trenton and Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania Railroad started in Camden at a ferry crossing, went east across the state, crossed the bay at Ocean Gate to Seaside Park where it went north
to Bay Head. The New Jersey Central Railroad had origins in the 1830s and inaugurated the Blue Comet, a deluxe that offered first class service at coach rates that ran from Jersey City to Atlantic City. The Blue Comet operated from 1929 until 1941 and was so popular, a toymaker from New York named Joshua Lionel Cohen made models of the iconic train. The history of trains in Ocean County is everywhere. “A ny t i me you see a n abnor mally straight dirt road, that could be an old railroad bed,” Georgieff said. “When you see roads like Station Drive and Railroad Avenue, like in Forked River, that’s also a sign that trains ran there.” Route 72 in Manahawkin was built over railroad tracks, as was Route 35 on the barrier island, he said. The Rail Trail in Barnegat Township is a 15.6-mile abandoned rail corridor that extends to Toms River. The trail was built on the former roadbed of the Central Railroad of New Jersey. At one time, passenger rail service was available throughout New Jersey, but after the switch to cars following World War II, riding trains fell out of favor, revenues fell, service was reduced and the equipment deteriorated. Many lines tried to merge, but ultimately most declared bankruptcy.

─Photo courtesy Ocean County Library TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Library Toms River Branch is pleased to present “People and Places,” an exhibit by award-winning photographer Lucille Rielly, throughout the month of August. The display, which will occupy the 2nd Floor Gallery, consists of color and monochrome candid photos, and will demonstrate her implementation of Photoshop software. Lucille’s images have captured awards at the Ocean County Artists Guild in Island Heights, the Guild of Creative Arts in Shrewsbury, the Ocean County Camera Club, and the Pennsylvania Center of Photography in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Lucille traces her love of photography to
the late 1990s, when she became a member of the Ocean County Camera Club. She entered competitions, she recalled, hoping for critiques that could help her improve her skills. “I began to use Photoshop for special effects and for adjusting portions of my images,” Lucille said. “When traveling to other places, photographing people in their environments became a particular interest. Many of these photographs are part of the display.” “People and Places” is open to the public during regular Library operating hours. No registration is necessary to view the exhibit.

─Photo courtesy Toms River Schools TOMS RIVER – High School South rising junior Tyler Kopin recently completed a once-in-a-lifetime, six-day experience at George Mason University in Washington, D.C., participating in a media and journalism conference with students from across the country. Tyler represented Pine Beach, NJ as a National Youth Correspondent to the 2022 Washington Journalism and Media Conference at GMU. The conference was an intensive study of journalism and media, for which participants were selected based on academic accomplishments and a demonstrated interest and excellence in journalism
and media studies. Tyler, who Superintendent (and former HSS Principal) Mike Citta described as “a fantastic young man,” has an interest in communications and sports broadcasting in particular. Broadcast Journalism is an approved CTE program of study at Toms River Regional Schools through the state-funded Perkins grant, and it’s hopeful that Tyler and other students with a passion for the subject will be able to advance their studies in district. For now, Tyler has gained significant experience in the field, as the conference offered decision-making simulations, ethical lessons, and prominent speakers.

Todd Frazier Inducted Into Little League Hall Of Excellence
─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.

Group Offers Eye Screening To Day Care Centers
TOMS RIVER - The Toms River Lions Club has a SPOT Eye Screener which is used primarily at Day Care Centers in the community. It is used to screen eyes of preschool, kindergarten and up to third grade students. With just a click of the camera, a picture of a child’s eyes is taken. The SPOT Eye Screener can diagnose the eyes and print a report if they are not within normal limits. This report is sent home to the parents with a notice to see an eye doctor. The Toms River Lions have used this since 2010 but had to stop due to COVID. The Lions are currently loaning the equipment to day care centers and teaching the
staff to utilize it. If any day care center has not had an experience with the SPOT Eye Screener and would like to learn to use it, please contact Lion Mel Bray, President at 732-239-8968 or e-mail tomsriverlionsclub@ gmail.com. The Toms River Lions have handled requests for the SPOT Eye Screener from other towns and will continue to do this upon request for day care centers in the immediate surrounding areas. Anyone interested in joining our club to work for preservation of eyesight in blind and needy, please contact the above listed number too!

POLICE BLOTTER Ocean County Man Pleads Guilty To Motel Burglary
By Alyssa Riccardi TOMS RIVER – A Township man has pled guilty to breaking into a motel room and injuring a woman, officials said. Angel Ramirez, 30, of Toms River, pled guilty to Burglary relative to an incident that took place at the Pelican Inn and Suites on Route 37 in Toms River on December 17, 2021. After responding to the motel after a disturbance call, officers found the woman bleeding from her head. Police said Ramirez had broken the window of the victim’s motel room with a baseball bat and then kicked the motel room door open. Authorities said that Ramirez then entered the motel room, assaulted the victim with her cane and shattered her cell phone. Ramirez was arrested at the scene and
transported to the Ocean County Jail, where he has been lodged since his apprehension. At the time of his sentencing on September 9, Ramirez will be facing seven years in New Jersey State Prison, subject to the terms of the No Early Release Act, which means he must serve at least 85% of his term before being eligible for parole. Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer acknowledged the diligent efforts of Assistant Prosecutor Kimberly Carr who is handling the case on behalf of the State, and commends the Toms River Township Police Department for their efforts in connection with this investigation leading to Ramirez’ apprehension, guilty plea, and soon his state prison sentence.
Moderate Training Noise At Joint Base For August By Alyssa Riccardi LAKEHURST – Expect to hear moderate noise from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL) throughout the month of August. Every month, JBMDL releases their “Noise Level Calendar” so residents know when to expect mild or severe noise. This is to deter calls to local 911 dispatchers. The calendar is labeled with three differ-
ent levels of noise: slight noise, moderate noise and abundant noise. Majority of the days in August are scheduled for “moderate noise.” In addition, August 7 as well as August 25 through 31 are scheduled for “low noise.” Noise levels are subject to change without notice due to training requirements and weather, JBMDL said.

Additionally, the BlueClaws will match the tickets to 2022 games by way of a donation of to eight charities of her choice.

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.

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.
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
