The kids have already built a relationship with the camp counselors. But now these counselors are in their police uniforms. You can sense the relationship that we have with the community at National Night Out and it’s good for people to come out and see that, that this exists and that we cultivate that. It’s an effort to cultivate good community relationships between the police department and the community whether it’s the youth or other organizations,” Kelly added. Mayor John G. Ducey congratulated all the campers on graduating and the hard work they put in throughout the week. “Police camp is definitely not an ordinary camp. They were expected to work hard and be disciplined and follow instructions. They were challenged physically as well as mentally,” Mayor Ducey said. During the graduation ceremony, each child was presented a certificate honoring them for completing the camp. Mondays from 2pm-6pm until further notice.

Page 4, The Brick Times, August 13, 2022 jerseyshoreonline.com community policing. I know how important that is to build those community relationships. I feel that the police department can only be as successful as the relationship it has with the community. They’re our eyes, our ears, our witnesses in most cases. If we don’t have that trust and that relationship then we can’t be successful. Things like National Night Out and our youth camp help build those bridges to bring us closer together. That’s why I think National Night Out is important,” Brick Police Chief James Riccio said. This year the event was bigger than ever as the department was celebrating their 50th anniver sary. Visitors viewed tents of all the specialty units and divisions that were on display. Local fire departments as well as EMTs were present showing off their emergency vehicles. A major part of National Night Out in Brick was celebrating all the kids who graduated from Youth Police Camp, which the depart ment started 24 years ago. The week-long camp takes in nearly 50 kids every summer, between the ages of 11 and 13. It’s held at the Ocean County Police Academy where the kids will participate in activities such as squad drills, physical training, visiting the Coast Guard Station, visiting the Marine Unit, rock climbing and team building. Brick Community Policing Sgt. Jim Kelly has been leading the camp since 2018. Kelly said that National Night Out is a perfect time to recognize all the campers and shows how impactful positive relationships with law en forcement can be. “This event is important for the youth and community because it’s an opportunity for them to see all of the different things that the police department does and has resources for. It’s also really important for residents and the community to see that the police are not an island, we work hand-in-hand with many other public services and entities, and we have for a long time. It’s really a collaborate effort and National Night Out highlights that bond in the community,” Kelly said. “When you see the kids after graduation is over, all of the kids will want to take pictures with the officers that were with them all week.

The mayor said he likes the idea of forming a committee, but the committee should meet with US Fish & Wildlife. “You don’t need to convince us; we’re not the ones,” he said. “US Fish & Wildlife is where we need citizens’ support.”

township Recreation Committee to dis cuss eliminating the four-wheel drive vehicles. She, along with the council, said they want to continue to allow the four-wheel drive vehicles on the beach. The engineer came up with an agreement with US Fish & Wildlife that would save the program by shortening it by about 45 days. Currently, beach buggies are allowed on town ship beaches from October 1 until April 30. The amended ordinance shortens the end date to March 15. “We had to make some other concessions, which is to make assurances that no driving will occur in the plant-protected strips until November 30, and we also have to put up fences and signage to let people know that these types of plants are out there,” the mayor said. The township will follow through with all of the recommendations so the program does not have to be shut down, he added. Federal funding for the beach replenishment could be in jeopardy if Brick does not comply with US Fish & Wildlife restrictions, Ducey said. Notification of the new rules would be part of the permitting process, and the township has to actively enforce it, he said. A large part of the audience at the meeting were beach buggy enthusiasts who were not happy about the amended ordinance. Jim Hutchinson was one of several residents who spoke during public comment. He said he believes many people move to Brick because the town and the governing body has “a certain libertarian point of view…I think this council and this township has always believed very strongly in individual liberties and personal responsibility.” Hutchinson asked the council to suspend the vote on the amended beach buggy ordinance which he called a “gross overreach” by the Department of the Interior, who does not want beach driving, he said. “This is a precedent-setting decision that you folks are making tonight that is going to spiral up and down the coast to other towns,” Hutchinson said. “Say no way. We’re going to protect those plants, we’re going to trust these folks that are in this room; personal responsibility to drive responsibly as we’ve always done along the beaches.” Noticing that other members of the public wished to speak, Council President Vincent Minichino said, “We appreciate that you folks are all here, and we hear you.”

According to its website, the American Legion is the largest wartime veterans service organization with nearly 2 million members and more than 12,000 posts in communities throughout America. The American Legion was established by an act of Congress in 1919 and was instrumental in getting the original GI Bill through Congress and the creation of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Currently, the organization is active throughout the United States, supporting current military personnel and veterans, sponsoring American Legion Baseball, Boys State, Oratorical Contests, and other activities for youth, and pushing for the adoption of a constitutional amendment to prohibit desecration of the U.S. flag.
Dillard added in regards to a question by Robbins about the future of the American Legion. Dillard thanked the members of the Post and each Post’s membership who helped support the recently passed PACT Bill which addresses health care, presumption of service-connection, research, resources, and other matters related to veterans who were exposed to toxic substances during military service. “It will affect three and a half million veterans over several generations back into Agent Orange in Vietnam. Anywhere where radiation has been reported and especially the burn pits,” Dillard said.Headded that this will aid veterans who served in contaminated areas who have contracted vari ous conditions including “lung cancer and things of this nature. The VA (Veterans Administration) has continually denied them benefits and care. Over 70% of those veterans have been declined. “This bill will cover over 23 presumptives. This bill will change many veterans’ lives. It is one of the biggest benefit bills to ever be passed since 1944. It should have been done a lot sooner,” Dillard said. “We had in excess of 37,000 people respond in support,” Dillard said. He noted a Montana senator credited “the American Legion for all the work they did on this.” Dillard headed out to Washington D.C. for the signing of that bill following his visit to the borough post. His visit to New Jersey included stops in Cam den and Gloucester County and a visit to Ocean County American Legion Posts in Brick and
Toms River earlier in the week with his final visit being Post 351. Former State and Post 351 Commander Chuck Robbins was present for the visit and said it was an honor to have Dillard stop by to visit the borough post during his tour of the Garden State.

Smith Wants To Codify Trump-era ‘Remain In Mexico’ Policy Mexico policy—constitute a grave national security and humanitarian crisis that con tinues to put the lives of so many at risk,” said Rep. “ThroughSmith.hisopen border policies, Pres ident Biden has emboldened human traf fickers and those bringing deadly fentanyl across our border,” said Smith. The legislation Smith has cosponsored comes on the heels of a Supreme Court ruling late last month allowing the Biden Administration to terminate the Trump-era immigration policy. A direct change from the Obama Ad ministration’s failed “catch and release” immigration policy, the Trump protocols had ensured that migrants apprehended at the border remain in Mexico - instead of be ing released into the United States - for the duration of their immigration proceedings as they wait to appear in court. “By working to overturn the effective Trump policy,” Smith said, “Biden has not only jeopardized the safety of Americans, but he has also given false hope to desperate people willing to risk their own health and survival - even as they are cruelly exploited by ruthless cartels and traffickers.”
“The legislation …further demonstrates his sustained commitment to supporting businesses throughout the state as they emerge from the pandemic and transition from surviving to thriv ing,” said NJEDA Chief Executive Officer Tim Sullivan. “Extending the ability of restaurants, bars, distilleries, and breweries to continue to serve additional patrons at their outside facilities will not only financially benefit these businesses, but will also help grow the economy as new po sitions are created to meet additional demand.”
The Governor authorized municipalities to en able the expansion of outdoor dining during the COVID-19 pandemic to protect residents while supporting food and beverage establishments. Many business owners have continued to offer outdoor dining since beginning to offer outdoor seating during the summer of 2020. This legislation will authorize continued use of fixtures such as tents, canopies, umbrellas, tables, and chairs for outdoor dining until November 30, 2024, extending a law that was signed by the Governor in February of 2021. This represents another part of the Governor’s ongoing support for small businesses, which includes the additional $50 million investment in the FY2023 budget for the Main Street Re covery Fund that has assisted many restaurants and other small businesses.
Smith, who has voted more than 90 times to construct border security barriers, has repeatedly pushed to block Biden’s rever sal of effective immigration policies put in place by the Trump Administration. Earlier this year, Smith cosponsored leg islation (H.R. 7359) to extend Title 42 - the Trump policy that gave federal officials expanded authority to expedite the removal of those who cross the border illegally and pose a serious risk to public health - to help combat the deadly amount of fentanyl pouring across the border, which has spiked dramatically in the past 12 months.
EAST RUTHERFORD – Governor Phil Mur phy signed a bill to extend expanded permissions for restaurants, bars, distilleries, and breweries to use fixtures and equipment enabling them to serve patrons outdoors in private areas, on sidewalks, and in other municipally-designated outdoor areas. The permissions were set to expire November 30, 2022 but will now be extended by two additional years to support the food and bev erage industry, patrons, and local communities by facilitating opportunities to serve customers outdoors.“MyAdministration worked in collaboration with the Legislature to support the restaurant industry and their customers by expanding out door dining during the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue that support today by extending these expanded permissions for food and beverage establishments throughout our state,” said Gov ernor Murphy. “Supporting the success of our Outdoor Dining Provisions Extended Two More Years small businesses ultimately means supporting the success of our communities. Continuing this successful practice will not only benefit small business owners, but also the many patrons who have come to enjoy the atmosphere and oppor tunities outdoor dining offers.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) is pushing new legislation (HR 8382) to restore the Trump Administration’s effective Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) - widely known as the “Remain in Mexico” policy - to combat the worst bor der crisis in U.S. history. Under HR 8382, migrants apprehended at the border would be required to stay in Mexico as they await their application review by U.S. immigra tion officials. “President Biden’s disastrous border poli cies—including and especially his reversal of the Trump Administration’s Remain in

The Governor signed the bill at Vesta WoodFired, a local restaurant that received a grant from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority as part of our state’s small business emergency assistance program to support New Jersey businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.“Thepandemic hit our state hard. To keep our communities safe and our economy running, our Democratic Congress passed the Ameri can Rescue Plan to deliver needed relief. That plan provided over $10 billion for New Jersey which helped establishments like Vesta WoodFired in East Rutherford stay afloat,” said U.S. Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. “I commend Governor Murphy for taking action today to provide additional relief for New Jersey restau rants. In Congress, I helped pass the Relief for Restaurants and Other Hard-Hit Industries Act to provide an additional $55 billion for small businesses impacted by COVID. I’ll continue to push the Senate to pass our bill, but in the meantime it is encouraging to know our small businesses have a staunch supporter like Gover nor Murphy here in the Garden State.”

Please attend the meetings of the Township Committee on the second and fourth Thurs days of each month at 6:30 - except August which will have one meeting on the 11th. The Planning Board meets every 2nd Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. On August 8th, there was a wind energy substation on the agenda and maybe we’ll finally have the public hearing on the Lofts at Lacey which has been postponed for months.Twohundred and seventy multi-family dwellings are proposed for Lanoka Harbor. More details about our Township can be heard on the first Wednesday of every month at the Lacey Munic ipal Utilities meetings at 6 p.m. Their next meeting will be on Sept. 7th. At total of 486 multi-family dwellings are in progress for Lacey Township. There are 4 different developments pending. The Covered Bridge To politicize the baby for mula shortage feels more like a knee jerk reaction without proper comprehension. So let’s try and clear up the apparent confusion on who’s to blame for the shortage. With the midterms around the corner, there seems to be more interest in whether President Biden will run again or not. Many think the President has done enough to satisfy I’m a news junkie and two headlines from (the weekend of July 30) struck me as showing the difference between this administration and the last one. Let’s start with the current ad ministration. Biden announced that top Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, one of the plotters behind the attacks on Sept. 11, was killed by U.S. forces. “Justice has been delivered. And this terrorist leader is no more,” Biden announced. U.S. intelligence had built a model of his safehouse and used a Hellfire missile that does not explode, but rather kills by nature of it being a 100-pound weapon fired at a person. Be fore impact, blades extend from the sides of the weapon. It was fired from a drone. All of this was done to minimize civilian and allied casualties. This same weekend, Trump hosted the Saudi government’s LIV golf tournament at his course in Bedminster, right here in New Jersey. The Saudi government had an important role in planning Sept. 11, and they continue with terrorism to this day. But Trump welcomed them with open arms because they have money. If there’s any discussion about which president is tougher on terrorism, one needs to look no further than what happened in one weekend. One president kills terrorist leaders. The other one embraces them.

The January 6th hearings have wound down for the moment but I won’t forget what I learned - that what happened that day wasn’t an isolated attack on our Capitol. It’s part of an on going criminal conspiracy to undermine our freedom to vote and to choose our electedTrumpleaders.andhis pals worked together to try to stop the peaceful transfer of power because the 2020 presidential election didn’t go their way. Now, they’re working to make sure all of our elections go their way in the future, whether we vote in their favor or not. Never before have we seen so many candidates running for office on a platform that promises to destroy our de mocracy from the inside out. Worst of all, many of these right-wing extremists are looking to take over elec tion administration, running for offices like secretary of state and county clerk. Once they’re sworn in, many won’t hesitate to overturn future elections if they or their MAGA allies lose. They want to be like Putin and his oligarchs.Theyareworking to turn the USA into a copy of Russia. We will lose all our rights. The only way we are going to protect our elections is to fight back and make our voic es heard. If our vote wasn’t powerful, insurrectionists wouldn’t be working so hard to take our freedom to vote away.

Regina DiscenzaLacey all fair-minded people, that he should not seek a second term. From their perspective, the President’s performance has run the gamut from A to B. Moreover, they say, he is a man who actually believes he makes sense when he speaks. At Fox News, Sean Hannity has reported that the Presi dent appears to be suffering from dementia. Concern about senility in office is nothing new. President John Adams referred to it as “dy ing at the top,” and Thomas Jefferson as, “at most the life of a Whencabbage.”itcomes to Mr. Han nity, it should be kept in mind, it was he who said without embarrassment, that President Trump’s presidency was not an affliction, but a godsend for the country. Mr. Hannity is a man that has spent his career ridiculing and belittling everyone who is not a Republican. In my view, he is an intellectual pauper, a malignant narcis sist, with a Borderline Per sonality. Almost every word he speaks is a lie, including “and” and “the.” When it comes to the Biden administration, however, I do take a kind of schadenfreude delight in listening to the President’s acolytes, trying to tap-dance around the Pres ident’s frequent gaffes and fauxWithpas.many in the Presi dent’s own party calling for defunding the police, open borders, sanctuary cities and referring to looters as “undocumented shoppers,” no wonder President Biden might be experiencing some mental anomalies.

Why Would A Raccoon Be Out In Daylight? young out during the day with her, teaching them valuable survival skills. You would also see a raccoon out during the daytime if their home was destroyed – the tree they were living in was just cut down. That would occur during the day when raccoons are sleeping. There would be no choice but to move on in search of another place to live.

JERSEY SHORE - Mother raccoons can have between two to five babies in a litter, and they will have just one litter per year. Baby raccoons are called kits, and they are typically born in early spring between March and April, but if a mother’s first litter does not survive she may give birth to a second litter as late as June. Have you ever seen a raccoon out and about during the daytime? Raccoons are nocturnal creatures – this is to say they are active at night. People often assume that a raccoon active during daylight hours is rabid or sick. There are numerous reasons a raccoon could be active during the day. Mothers will forage in the evening hours as well as the day to feed her young. As her babies grow, she will begin taking her

Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678) Signs It’s Time To Upgrade Your Hearing Aid Technology
Change in Lifestyle: When your lifestyle changes, your tech might need to follow suit. Took up a sport? You’ll probably need moisture resistance. Switched from an office job to a job outdoors? You’re likely experiencing a different level of noise. Technological Advances: You might not realize just how far technology has advanced - with better filtering of back ground noise, the ability to pinpoint fine-tuning capabilities, and the option to stream sound from your smartphone to your hearing aids. High-tech hearing is just an upgrade away. What does dedicated hearing care mean to us?
Page 16, The Brick Times, August 13, 2022 jerseyshoreonline.com H ere ’ s t o Y our H e A lt H 368 Lakehurst Road | Suite 305 Toms River, NJ 08755 732-473-1123 1301 Rte 72 | Ste 305 | Manahawkin, NJ 08050 609-597-9195 211 W Millstream Road Cream Ridge, NJ 08514 PEDIATRICwww.OceanPediatricDental.com609-758-9595DENTISTS&ORTHODONTISTSFORYOURCHILD!WEAREACCEPTINGNEWPATIENTS!
You can usually tell when something needs to be replaced - your smartphone screen is cracked, or your vacuum smells hot. But what about your hearing de vices? Here are five signs you need new technology:Malfunction: When you perform all the recommended maintenance diligently, but things are still going wrong, it’s time to consider new devices. If replaced batteries drain quickly or sounds remain muffled after a wax guard change, for instance, consider that a red flag. Occasional repairs are normal; persistent problems that resist troubleshooting aren’t.
BASE
Dr. Izzy’s Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Change in Hearing: Your hearing changes over time due to age, exposure to noise, and health events. We can often adjust your programming to meet your new needs, but sometimes your hearing changes so much that you need a different level of technology.CostlyRepairs: Replacement parts for older hearing aid models are often scarce, especially if the model is discontinued. Think of your devices like a car: If re pairing them costs so much that it makes more sense to replace them, go ahead and spring for a newer model. The general rule of thumb is pay for the repair once, but never twice!
5. Can you transmit this to your pets? Answer: No, you can’t give it to your pets. It’s the other way around. People become infected from exposure to the animals which include gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, monkeys, dogs, and cats. Of these, rodents seem to be the biggest transmitters. It can be transmitted from human to human as well.

4. What are the symptoms? Answer: Fever is always part of the syndrome, along with headache, mus cle aches, and other flu-like symptoms. Lesions and ulcers occur as well. If you develop these issues, call your doctor, and limit contact with others.
2. Is it sexually transmitted? Answer: Yes, it is mostly transmitted in this manner. However, there are other modes of transmission such as prolonged face-to-face contact or kissing. Studies confirm that the DNA virus is found main ly in semen, saliva, urine, and/or feces.
Recently, the World Health Organization has recently declared monkeypox a global health emergency. Monkeypox causes lesions similar to smallpox but milder, and it is self-limiting for most people. In case you’re worried, I want to assure you, that almost everyone in this current outbreak is alive and well. I doubt you will know anyone who gets sick with it, it’s very rare! Nevertheless, monkeypox has become a very hot topic in the news. Let’s go over 8 important points: 1. Is this going to kill people all over the world similarly to the coronavirus? Answer: No, not like covid did. I don’t like to propagate fear and this is not going to be like you’re probably imagining it. There will be no monkeypox lockdowns so don’t worry! It’s not transmitted the same way.
8 Fascinating Facts About Monkeypox
7. What is the USA monkeypox case count? Answer: It is unclear. The CDC has a website you can visit to see the live case counts in the USA. But the exact count for monkeypox is unclear. The number they post there includes both monkeypox cases and orthopoxvirus cases, combined. The latter includes smallpox, vaccinia virus, and cowpox. So the monkeypox case count just by itself is opaque.
8. What should you do if you get infected? Answer: Call your physician to make an appointment to get help, or visit an urgent care center. Follow your doctor’s orders. For home relief, consider over-the-counter analgesics and antipyretics for fever and pain. Avoid close contact with others to minimize spread. If you’re interested in a longer version of this article, it is available at my website, suzycohen.com By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
3. Why is it named monkeypox? Answer: The virus was first identified from those fuzzy creatures! It was first discovered in 1958 when outbreaks oc curred in monkeys that were being used for research. According to the CDC, the source of the disease remains unknown, however, monkeys (and rodents) harbor the virus.

That’s because spoken fluency is al most impossible to achieve without real-world practice, but speaking skills are exactly what many Ukrainians need today - whether to find new jobs or to settle in foreign countries as refugees.”

“I’ve been a volunteer with ENGIN for around two months. I first found ENGIN on volunteermatch.org . At first, I was worried about completing the volunteer hours needed to grad uate high school, but as I read about ENGIN, I became fascinated with the idea of helping Ukrainian young adults learn English to help them achieve their goals. “So far, I have only assisted one person in learning English, but I hope to help many more. To help make my student more familiar with the language and American culture, I often pause lessons to explain common slang terminology or work through vocabulary they are having a difficult time with. Taking my time with lessons and working through concepts slowly seems to help my stu dent process ideas better,” Hemmady added.Hemmady said, “I also always have to keep in mind the differences between (English

My buddy has not had a stable schooling system since the pandemic started and when they were in school, they learned about very different his torical events and concepts.

Anika Vedmala is another Monmouth County volunteer who shared her views about the program and her thoughts about the ongoing atrocities occurring in Ukraine. “I’ve been a volunteer for the organiza tion for about a month now and I wanted to become a part of the organization after hearing I could make a difference to these kids and because it was an opportunity to meet new people and hear different stories,” she said. She added, “so far, I’ve only assisted one person. Some things I’ve done to help my buddy would be just having conversations and making her more comfortable with the language. We do activities like planning trips and vacations for help with practical skills and to gain more knowledge about different cultures.”

It also impacts their balance, coordination, and ability to read. Diplopia can occur in one or both eyes, and there are a variety of causes. Double vision in one eye is usually the result of nerve or muscle damage triggered by certain illnesses, but can also stem from astigmatism, cataracts, dry eye, or keratoconus. When it occurs in both eyes, it may be a condition called “strabismus” or “squint,” in which the eyes are not properly aligned and look in slightly different directions. This could be because the eye muscles are weak, paralyzed, restricted, overactive, or have other abnormalities. Diabetes and thyroid issues are also common causes of double vision. When you need the best eye care in the area, look to SIGHTMD NEW JERSEY SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES. We offer a full range of care for your eyes, from your yearly vision exam to the treatment of medical eye conditions. To make an appointment, please call 732-349-5622.
