OCEAN COUNTY - Morgan Blann, 11, appeared as serious as a drill sergeant as she led the seventh graduating youth academy class of the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office to their places. A seventh grader at Veteran’s Memorial School in Brick, Morgan was one of 33 young recruits who participated in the weeklong program held earlier this month at the Ocean County Police Academy. Many, but not all, of the students entering grades 6-9 from thirteen Ocean County municipal ities shared Morgan’s aspirations to one day pursue careers in law enforcement.

Mayor Carmen Amato said that they had asked Ocean County to do a traffic study in that area and this is a step in the right direction. The Veeder and Mill Creek intersec tion will get a traffic signal eventually. The project was approved, but probably won’t be built until late 2023 or early 2024. Renters And Bad Neighbors During the summer, shore towns fill Roads: Continued From Page 1 up with tourists. While everyone ex pects them to party in Seaside and fill up the hotels and bars there, most peo ple don’t expect them to be next door. AirBNB and other companies are al lowing people to rent out their property for a week or even a weekend. Thus, a large party could be heard in your neighborhood. This has been a problem in many Ocean County towns, where they are caught between allowing owners to make money off their prop erty and keeping neighborhoods quiet places to live. Berkeley residents have spoken out at Township Council meet ings sporadically about it, especially in the areas east of Route 9 in Bayville. Councilman Keith Buscio said that the legislation committee (made up of council members who suggest changes to the laws in town) should focus on this.Business Administrator John Camera said that their legal experts are already working on it. “We can’t do everything people would want us to do,” but the town can make changes to protect residents, he said.
Councilman James Byrnes noted that there was one rental property that was recently fined $1,000 for this kind of problem.

A long list of people took turns at a microphone. “You’ve only set a good example for me. I hope I’m as big a man as you are. I love you,” his son Elijah Taylor said. “Growing up, I always thought he was picking on me and bullying me. I know he was making me stronger. I’m just proud to call the GOAT my father,” Isaiah Taylor said. Chris Melville was there from Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, which is known for its community service that extends beyond the college years. They were handing out school supplies to kids. He said Taylor is one of the legends in the region. “A lot of us do big things. The reason we do what we do is because of this man.” Danny Alexander said that Taylor does things no one else knows about. When Al exander had stage four cancer, Taylor was feeding his family twice a week. “Thank you for the things that are seen and thank you for the things that aren’t seen,” heManysaid. people came out to celebrate him, including family, friends, and young men that he had mentored as they grew up. The one person who found it hard to talk was Robert Taylor himself. He was in tears, and at a loss for words at the honor. He said it was good to see the community support his hard work – and the hard work of all the people who helped him over the years. The last person to speak was Mayor Carmen Amato, who was joined by Police Chief Kevin Santucci and Township Council members Michael Signorile, Sophia Gingrich, and John Bacchione. “On behalf of your family, we’re pleased to rename this the Robert L. Taylor Community Basketball Courts,” Amato said. With the outpouring of applause, it seemed that Taylor was the only one who didn’t know this was happening.Asignwas revealed at the entrance to the property.

In the description of the fundraiser, he wrote: “When I started this event, I wanted to bring the community together (all different races, religions, and beliefs) for a good time! I wanted us to celebrate each other and give the kids something to look forward to. I wanted to create a safe place filled with so much joy, laughter, and the most important thing of them all: love. As a community, we exhibited just that and Family Day became an annual thing that the community appreciated and supported. Here we are, 30 years later, with a beautiful park and a diverse community. To a good time and to 30 years, thank you!!” Rob: Continued From Page 1 ─Photos by Chris Lundy Above: Family and friends came out to thank Robert Taylor for his work over the years.

Page 6, The Berkeley Times, August 20, 2022 jerseyshoreonline.com shorts as they stood at attention and saluted the flag during the pledge of allegiance. The boys and girls then waited to receive certificates for their accomplishments, together with special medals draped around their necks. Sgt. Shannon Dugan opened the grad uation ceremony with a few introduc tions, beginning with Sheriff’s Officer Alexandra Kern. Kern planned the week’s activities that gave the young recruits a taste of police training and work.Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastro nardy delivered a few brief remarks. He stressed the importance of the general public understanding and appreciating opportunities in the public safety field. “We try to have a very good experience here,” said Mastronardy. “We received funding from the Sheriff’s Foundation, which pays for everything associated with this program.”
The Fire Marshall presented a demon stration that sixth grade homeschooled student Isaac David found quite in sightful. “If there’s a fire, they have to go into the house to inspect it,” David said. “They have to look to see what started the fire and if it was caused on purpose to hurt people.”
Youth recruits did their own traffic stop scenarios and participated in com petitions in handcuffing and firearms training. The winner of the handcuff ing competition was Chase Battaglia, followed by Isaac Davis as runner up. Alexander Earlton won the firearms competition, while Jayden Randazzo achieved runner up status in the same category.Students had the opportunity to learn the role fingerprinting plays in solving crimes and saw the county’s drone in action. “I liked the FATS (FireArm Training Stimulator) machine the best,” shared sixth-grader Shan Morales. “We prac ticed with laser guns on targets.”

At a pre-graduation press conference with a sole reporter, the graduating class collectively invoked military etiquette with a loud “Yes, ma’am” when asked if they enjoyed the program. Many of the participants were also eager to share thoughts about their five-day jampacked schedules. As a law enforcement agency, the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office follows many of the same rules and traditions established by the United States’ mili tary branches. Even the younger recruits received daily marching and military etiquette training as part of their acad emyDavidexperience.Rojas, a Lakewood Middle School eighth grade student, said he enjoyed learning the marching protocol as well as the facing movements. Others found different aspects of the program provided more interest. On Day 3 of training, the youth recruits proceeded to the Brick Municipal Docks where they had the opportunity to take a boat ride around the marina on the county’ marine unit. “Going on the boat was the best part for me,” proclaimed Jayden Randazzo, a Beachwood sixth grade student. When the students returned to the Police Academy that day, they received SWAT orientation by way of a demon stration.“Thekids got to play with all of the equipment that our SWAT team uses,” Kern shared. “They met a ton of mem bers from our SWAT team and also saw a vehicle takedown by the SWAT team through a flashbang.”
Day Four exposed the young recruits to four legged members of the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department. Sheriff’s Officers Christine Casullo and Michael Fiorentino and their K-9s treated the kids to a special demonstration. “They did a bite drill,” Kern said. “They then went out to find explosives in the field.” The students also had the chance meet Sangria, a horse who was owned by Sheriff Officer Brian Stockwell. After Stockwell’s untimely death in a car crash, his family donated the horse to the Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff’s Officer Juan Mercado coincidentally introduced Sangria to the young recruits on the late Stockwell’s birthday. “The bloodhound was the coolest because he can sniff ahead and track a person down,” said John Maldonado, a seventh-grade student from Manchester. Physical training took up some time on the schedule and appeared an expected regiment. While no one complained about the daily routines, some added drills didn’t sit well with quite a few of the kids. “The hardest part of the whole program in my opinion was collective punish ment,” Aidan Carrattini shared. “Most of the time, when one person messed up, we all had to do pushups.” Kern credited other members of the county agency for their roles in the program, as well as the Ocean County Public Safety Cadets. Children who age out of the youth academy program become eligible for the cadet unit, which accepts candidates from ages 14-20. This year, Kern and one of the cadets attended a Leadership Academy in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. The two trained with the Army’s Military Police, lived in military barracks and worked with the Army’s drill sergeants. Ocean County’s Cadets received na tional recognition last year by achiev ing first place status in three separate competitions. They also won third place honors in three additional matches with cadets throughout the United States.

“Soldier On supports efforts to ex pand the existing SSVF grant eligibil ity guidelines to include low-income veterans of the National Guard and their families,” said Bruce Buckley, Chief Executive Officer of Soldier On. “Service members should never be in a position where they are home less or at-risk of homelessness. By expanding SSVF grant eligibility we can ensure that an even larger portion of our veteran population can access housing stabilization services in their local“Thecommunities.”VeteransMulti-Service Center (VMC) is proud to support the expan sion of SSVF eligibility to many Na tional Guardsmen and Reservists who are in need of these valuable services,” said Peter R. Wine, SSVF Program Manager, The Veterans Multi-Ser vice Center. “The current proposal is a more equitable solution for the men and women who have served our country and the VMC is prepared to meet Senator Booker’s call to action.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) announced legis lation to expand the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program, which promotes housing stability among very low-income veteran families who reside in or are transitioning to permanent housing. The Supportive Services for Reserve Component Veterans and Families Act would expand SSVF eligibility to former members of the National Guard and Reserves who have retired or sepa rated from service after having served a term of enlistment. Established in 2011, the SSVF pro gram has helped decrease veteran homelessness by 50% and assisted 850,000 veterans and their family members by permanently housing, rapidly rehousing, or preventing them from becoming homeless. However, under the program’s current guidelines, many former members of the National Guard and Reserve Component, who were not activated for federal active duty military service while serving,
“Retired and separated Nation al Guardsmen often face the same housing challenges as their former active-component brothers and sis ters, yet many are ineligible for help from of the VA’s Supportive Services for Veteran Families program,” said retired Brig. Gen. J. Roy Robinson, President of the National Guard As sociation of the United States. “We applaud Senator Booker for this bill that would correct this longstanding inequity.”“OurNational Guard and Reserve are at the forefront when crisis hits,” said Dave Pearson, Assistant Direc tor of Veteran Services for Catholic Family & Community Services in the Diocese of Paterson and Co-Chair of the New Jersey SOS Veteran Stake holder Group. “Whether it’s a flood, hurricane or national emergency, it’s always our citizen soldiers who an swer the call and respond to the need. We support Senator Booker’s initiative in extending SSVF emergency housing services to our National Guard and Reserve people. Creating a safeguard for the families of these state heroes if they are in jeopardy of losing their homes is a small request for those who give so much to our communities in our most trying times.”

Bill Would Expand Support For Low-Income National Guardsmen And Reservists are ineligible for the program. In addition to expand ing eligibility of the SSVF program, the leg islation would also re quire the Secretary of Defense to submit an an nual report to Congress detailing food and housing insecurity experienced by current reserve component service members, across all seven components of the Reserves and National Guard. “The SSVF program has proven to be a tremendous success, helping thou sands of veterans and their families find quality, affordable housing,” said Sen. Booker. “Yet, former members of the National Guard and Reserves are often ineligible to access the benefits of this program despite the critical role they played in protecting our nation and serving our communities. With this legislation, we will ensure that we honor our commitment to those who have served and sacrificed for our country by finally expanding eligibility of the SSVF program to national guardsmen, reservists, and their“Thefamilies.”NationalCoalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV) applauds Sen. Cory Booker for introducing the Support ive Services for Reserve Component Veterans and Families Act. Those who served in the National Guard and Military Reserve have been ineligible for many benefits when not federally activated. This important legislation would remove this barrier to entry from the Department of Veteran Af fairs’ Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program,” NCHV CEO Kathryn Monet stated. “NCHV thanks Senator Booker for expanding access to SSVF for veterans of both the Guard and Reserve, bringing us one step closer to achieving our mis sion of ending veteran homelessness.”

care of. And then once the PACT Act passes, your ail ments get covered for one year and one year only, and then you have to hope that Congress wants to continue paying for you to get better. That’s what they blamed it on anyway. Everyone in Washington knows it’s because the Republicans weren’t getting their way on an environmental bill so they took it out on veterans. I’ll never forget Ted Cruz high-fiving other senators on the senate floor when the veteran vote went down. All 25 of these Senators voted for the bill earlier this year when it was the exact same! When it finally did pass, there were 11 senators who still voted against it. All 11 wereRememberRepublicans.that when it comes to voting.

Therefore, I have de clared my candidacy for the open Toms River seat in the upcoming Toms River School Board elec tion in November.

This is a scary moment. The Supreme Court just dismantled abortion rights across America. As a re sult, twenty-six states could outlaw abortion, including 13 that have passed “trigger” laws to take effect immediately after the Court overturns Roe v. Wade. This news should set off alarm bells for all Amer icans. Our fundamental freedoms are coming un der attack by a hyper-par tisan supermajority on the Court. And this could just be the beginning. But there’s a way to fight back, which is why I’m urging Congress to pass the Judi ciary Act of 2021. The Judiciary Act would rebalance the Supreme Court by adding four new seats, giving us 13 justices in total. It’s just what we need to move away from extremely partisan rulings and restore the legitimacy of the Court - and it’s been done before. In fact, Congress has changed the size of the Supreme Court seven times already in our nation’s history. A recent poll showed that the major ity of Americans support expanding the court again now. It’s past time for Congress to get on board with this crucial bill. Frank Ranuro Point Pleasant cowards!All25 of those who switched sides were Re publicans. I say “switched sides” because they’re not on our side any more.

They didn’t think that the veterans deserved the health care automatically. The Republicans wanted to vote every year to see if they would continue paying the bill for healthcare for America’s veterans. Could you imagine? You’re a Gulf War vet. You get home with a host of lung problems. For 15 years the government has said you’re not worth taking a community and school district that provided ac cess to both a rigorous and inspiring curriculum, while also a variety of enrichment opportunities through the arts, athletics, and clubs that to this day I credit my success in adult hood.

The PACT Act will help our men and women who were exposed to toxic chemicals while protecting our way of life. Many of them were manning burn pits during the call of duty, breathing in chemicals as weapons were incinerated. On August 1, the VFW posted this: “Instead of voting to advance the Hon oring our PACT Act to the president’s desk, 25 senators changed their votes and no longer support toxic-ex posed veterans. This is the same bill 84 senators voted in favor of in June. No more delays! No more games!

By Alyssa Riccardi BAYVILLE – Petty Officer 1st Class Jo seph Monte Marano, a native of Bayville, has taken on an important role at the U.S. Navy Largest Training Center. Naval Station Great Lakes (NSGL) has trained and sent to the fleet more than two million new sailors through the Recruit Training Command, and nearly an equal number from its technical schools. At NSGL, Marano’s role as a mass communication specialist supports the training and mentoring of sailors for the future of the fleet.

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – When students return for the 2022-2023 school year, they’ll find that the availability of guidance counselors has increased across the district’s 19 schools. There will be a guidance counselor in every school five days a week. This will be paid for by re-allocating money without extra spending, Superintendent Michael Citta said. The last few years has been rough for students, he said. Between COVID-19 and other issues, children need more support now than ever. In previous years, there was one guidance counselor in each school for grades 6-12. The 12 elementary schools and the early learning center would share others, Citta explained. Now, there would be one per school all day long. This isn’t to say that these students were without a support system previ ously, he said. Between teachers, ad ministrators, school resource officers and other professionals throughout the school, there are always people looking out for “Theythem.know there are at least a few adults in their corner,” he said.

Therefore, an entire medical history is necessary, including symptoms that seem unrelated to vision.

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.

• The proactive management of hear ing loss can delay or slow the onset or progression of cognitive decline. • Studies show the use of hearing aids can slow down the rapid progression of cognitive decline. Garden State Hearing & Balance Center is on the front line of promoting cognitive health. We now offer a com puterized test of cognitive function called Cognivue Thrive. This screen ing tool objectively and reliably identi fies changes in cognitive function that could be indicative of an impairment that requires physician referral. In our opinion, driving brain health awareness and improving access to cognitive screenings are among the most important challenges of the 21st century. Although cognitive decline is a normal part of aging, early identifi cation of underlying conditions such as untreated hearing loss will lead to appropriate management, thus improv ing cognitive health. If you would like to schedule a Cog nivue Thrive screening, please feel free to contact our Toms River office at 732-818-3610.

The makers of the mega-popular antacid drug called Zantac are now facing potential lawsuits that could total into the billions! If that doesn’t cause stress-induced heartburn, I don’t know what does! This isn’t about whether or not the drug works. It definitely works in terms of reduc ing stomach acid. The drug was removed from the market in 2020, but now it’s coming back into focus. Zantac was recalled due to potential contam ination with NDMA (N-Nitrosodimethyl amine) which is a probable carcinogen. The alleged lawsuits now state that negligence among pharmaceutical companies producing the drug led to serious harm in patients, spe cifically cancer. You can visit the Drugwatch website to see if you can file a claim. The prosecutors say that NDMA-contami nated pills have led to cancer. The FDA must agree on some level that there’s a problem be cause they issued a swift and complete drug recall 2020. You can learn more about the actual drug recall at the FDA’s website. Go online, or watch TV, there are a lot of attor neys advertising their services to people who were adversely by the medication. You may be wondering how NDMA toxin gets into medications. It is spawned during the manufacturing process. No one is con taminating the pills. It’s just happening by virtue of normal, regular, clean production of the pill. The NDMA is introduced during the tableting process from contaminated ingredients that were sourced elsewhere. Alternatively, the contaminant results from the use of solvents and agents used during the manufacturing process. It happens all the time, and not just with Zantac. Other medi cations in this drug class could be involved, as can some popular anti-hypertensives. And this may come as a shock, but a little ‘poison’ is allowed! There is a “permissible” amount of 96 nanograms per day. So you may be consuming NDMA, and not realize it. Here you’re trying to solve one issue, and wind up with a bigger one! The types of cancer associated with NDMA may include those of the breast, bladder, colon, lung, liver, blood, thyroid, pancreas, and others. Here’s a 5-step plan for what to do if you’ve been exposed to the medication: 1. Get a physical 2. Do bloodwork like a Chem Panel and CBC. 3. Discontinue your H2 blocker (antacid) and ask doc for a therapeutic equivalent. Consider natural remedies. 4. Change your diet, or go on one. Altering your diet will be the most important thing you do to improve the reflux situation. 5. Do not ignore. Please do not let any symptoms get swept under the rug due to your heavy workload, family needs, or whatever! Also, don’t take the “wait and see” approach. Wait and see what? If you develop cancer? No! Be more proactive than that and think two steps ahead and don’t wait and see anything. Visit your practitioner if you have any new/odd symptoms. If this topic interests you, there is much more I can share. To read a more detailed version of my article visit suzycohen.com. By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

After a stint in the L.A. gang scene followed by four years in the Army, Ice-T’s first big break came with the movie Breakin’ in 1984. With his controversial lyrics and political views, he went on to become rap’s original gangster, creating a

Man’s Best Friend – Threatening Wildlife ing and raising their young. As the human pop ulation in these areas rise, so will the number of dogs, possibly causing the problem to get worse. So why do we care? Or should we? The answer is ‘yes’ we should. While the United States has some laws to govern the care and housing of dogs, as we know, people are not always side-by-side with their dog(s) to monitor their every action. Some dogs possess a strong prey drive, potential ly becoming predators and killing wild animals. This contributes to the disruption of the ecosys tem. The food sources for wild animals become threatened as dogs compete with them for prey. Even the smallest wild animal, endangered or not, is important to the balance of nature. Whether we live in suburban America or countries far away, we need to take responsi bility for our pets. Just because you don’t see the global picture, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.The information for this article from was gathered through multiple sources so statistics may vary slightly. To reach me please call 732-244-2768. It is illegal to possess or relocate wildlife for any reason without the proper New Jersey State and/or federal permits.

So great that we may overlook a time or two when they unearthed a baby rabbits’ nest or killed an opossum in our yard. Maybe they took off running when spotting a white-tailed deer. Whatever the case, the threat to wildlife is real. Globally, dogs have contributed to the extinction of almost one dozen wild animal and bird species. Maybe that doesn’t sound like a lot but today studies suggest dogs threaten nearly 200 species worldwide. Some species are already critically endangered. In areas where dogs roam freely in the wild, dog owners are not concerned about the issue and continue to allow them roam. Larger terrestrial mammals suffer from predation and harassment by dogs. These same free roaming dogs, to also include feral dogs, compete with other predators (wildlife), who rely upon territory for food, breed

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Close the door on family problems and the past before taking on anything new. Some people in your life may not be cooperative or agreeable to day but as the week unfolds, you might begin to understand why.
VIRGO (Aug. 23- Sept. 22): Play by the rules. Carefully decide if your current plan is sus tainable or if it would be better to make a new start. A health or workplace problem will be resolved if you wait until later in the week to address it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Never take risks when the odds aren’t in your favor. This is not the day to begin something new or make crucial decisions. However, you can enjoy time with a romantic partner or social activities with friends.
LEO (July 23- Aug. 22): There’s less stress when you follow the plan. Be patient and understanding if you receive criticism, but also learn what you can from it. A partner or loved one may test your dedication and loyalty, but tensions should subside later in the week.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may be faced by a choice between following your heart and going along with others. Al though you could earn validation by playing to the crowd, you will sleep better if you stand by your principles.
The Berkeley Times, August 20, 2022, Page 27jerseyshoreonline.com
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) : A dedication to details can help avoid misun derstandings. Make sure you proofread all communiques before you send them off. What seems like a burden today could become a blessing later this week.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Learn by doing. There’s no substitute for experience, although at times it can be a harsh teacher. The high standards you subscribe to can be helpful as the week unfolds; maintain them by learning from every misstep.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It can be risky to put all your eggs in one basket. If you focus too heavily on material success, popularity or possessions, you may miss other opportunities. Remain open to diversity and variety in the upcoming week.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your en thusiasm is admirable. It may be tempting to initiate a new financial plan this weekend, but it is better to wait. Channel your energies into making your plans more solid and execute them later this week.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can feel good but must do good, too, and stay focused. Finish what you started before you begin anything new. Wrap up loose ends and fulfill your obligations so you are ready for the week ahead.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Anything you buy today at a discounted price may end up to be a mistake -- inferior materials aren’t likely to hold up over time. Do some research and wait until later in the week to purchase items that will endure.
