The Toms River
By Chris Lundy PINE BEACH – The world record for the most kayaks on the water in one place is 329. Correction. The record was 329. That record was quite easily shattered when hun dreds of people launched into the Toms River on an early Saturday morning. This was the kind of shore traffic you want to see. Families and friends making their way at their own speed on the water. Like cars on the road, they stayed to the right, so that they weren’t facing others head-on during the return journey. They took off from several different locations. That’s one of the best things about a kayak is that you can enter the water from any shore. But in order to count, they had to paddle between two markers in the river.

There a special cele bration welcoming the new lions and tigers who arrived at the Refuge on JunePopcorn26. Park was founded in Sep tember 1977 when a raccoon entered into their care after being severely injured by a leghold trap. Due to the severity of his injuries, the racoon, later known as Rigby, was unable to be released into the wild.
Jerry Rosenthal, chief executive officer of Associated Humane Societ ies and Popcorn Park said, “we look forward to welcoming friends and supporters to celebrate this milestone and welcome our new additions to the park. For 45 years Popcorn Park has provided families with an opportunity to see and learn about the animals we have rescued and provide care for.”
“Supporters are encouraged to share memories, showcase their business, and help celebrate Popcorn Park with this special collaborative journal. The Ad Journal will also include exclusive content from our archives, giving patrons a behind-the-scenes look into some of our most notable rescue animals throughout the past 45 years,” Rosenthal said. He added, “Associated Humane Societies rescues stray and homeless animals, both domestic and wildlife, providing quality care and sanctuary until loving homes can be found. As a community-based organization, we provide low-cost veterinary care and humane education to promote respon sible pet guardianship throughout New Jersey.”“Wedon’t have a specific honoree. We will be telling stories of special events through the years, highlighting some of our groundbreaking stories, and toasting to the future. We just brought in two new tigers and two new lions who we will be celebrating at the event as well. It was two years in the making, and finally we are able to give them a permanent home,” AHS representative Danielle Mania told The Southern Ocean Times For more details about and to attend the September 10 celebration, to par ticipate in the Ad Journal and to also learn about the organization’s annual fundraising auction on October 1, con tact Mania by calling 973-824-7080 or e-mail her at dmania@ahsppz.org.
“There are few places like it on the East Coast,” he added. He noted that the Popcorn Park Animal Refuge is also creating a celebratory Ad Journal to commemorate the occasion.
The park has grown in its nearly half century of operation and is now home to over 200 rescued animals. Its members look forward to continued expansion through a five-year plan to help even more animals in need.

“Not only does it help people get engaged, but it shows the love for the river and our bay,” she said. “This provided education and awareness that what we do when we live near the water impacts its health.”
Hundreds were in the water, but there were also people watching from shore.
“I know all the people here own kayaks,” she said. “Why can’t we all have fun on the water?”

In order to make sure people did more than just sign up, they had to have some skin in the game. A $10 fee was attached because people are more likely to go to something that they already paid for. All the money was collected for Save Barnegat Bay, an environmental ad vocacy and education group.

“It’s a fun way to get some exercise with friends,” she said.
Alexandra and Don Draper came down from Westchester to take part. They have a boat in the area “We kayak near us, but this will be the first time we kayaked here,” Alexandra said. “It’ll be fun and it’s the perfect day for it.” She was right about that. Given the fact that there have been heat waves, people were glad that the temperature was nice for a summer day. The wind and the water were still, which made it ideal Micheleconditions.Beltram is a physical therapist who lives nearby. She encouraged activities like this.

Ocean Running Club members helped with registration, Rinderer said. The Berkeley Township Underwater Search and Rescue was on hand as well as other emergency crews and police to make sure everything was safe. There were no incidents reported.
“Everyone who lives here has some kind of water-loving equipment in their home,” she said. Whether it’s a boat or a kayak, they enjoy the water all year round. This was a day for them to all celebrate it together.
There were at least a dozen dogs in the kayaks. One man played his bagpipes in a kayak.
They were given numbers for their and they were counted as they passed a pier. Sandy Rinderer, who organized the event, said that they ran out of numbers because so many people came. Some of the participants gave their numbers back so the organizers could flip the number over and write a new number on the back. They estimate it was around 1,250 people.Accuracy is important for world records, so it took some time to weed through it and make sure that the number was correct. Just because a number was handed out doesn’t mean that they were on the water. Also, not all of them got numbers. She noted that Tony from New York got there after the tally but he was the final finisher. “It was all I envisioned,” Rinderer said. She does a lot of triathalons. A recent one in Point Pleasant had biking, running, and kayaking. She thought all the kayaks together looked cool and wondered if it could be pulled off in her neighborhood. It didn’t have to be competitive, just people out for a good time.

Trump Will Win 2024 All The SmithCongressmanHarmHasDone her up.” I guess three-word phrases are easy to remem ber.Mexico never paid for the wall. That was another of his promises. But in July, Biden sat down with Pres ident Obrador of Mexico, and hammered out an agree ment that has Mexico pay $1.5 billion – yes, billion – for border security for ourThenation.improvements will be for safety for the troops working there, and to make it easier to process people coming legally. To be clear, none of that money is for a wall. A wall is a stupid person’s solution. Anyone with a ladder or tools can get through it. The reason a great deal of the border has no wall is because they don’t work. Just look at Arizona Gov ernor Ducey’s plan to use stacked shipping containers to block an area off. It cost $6 million for a 1,000-foot barrier. A day later, one of them was tipped over by migrants. Ducey said that the containers hadn’t been welded together yet. But the point is, anyone with a blowtorch could cut a hole in any barrier, shipping container or wall. That’s why the immigration issue is more complex than any three-word phrase. And that’s why Biden was able to sit down and have a conversation with the leader of another nation and con vince them to do what was needed to be done.

Chris Lundy News Editor UFC fighter Paddy Pim blett was interviewed fol lowing his recent winning match against American Jordan Leavitt. Instead of glorifying his victory, he spoke about the loss of one of his friends who had died by suicide the night before. It was all the more pow erful because he spoke of the stigma faced by men to talk about mental health –“Listen, if you’re a man and you’ve got weight on your shoulders and you think the only way you can solve it is by killing yourself, please speak to someone, speak to anyone…I know I’d rather have my mate cry on my shoulder than go to his fu neral next week.” Those of us in the mental health profession work dil igently to end the stigma of mental illness and sub stance abuse. We encourage candid conversations and reaching out for help; but words from athletes and public figures go a long way to helping to bring about the open conversations that are necessary to avoid tragedy. We can all help to end this stigma. Speak out about mental health and substance use topics. Pay attention to signals from others that they may be hurting. Reach out with compassion and under standing. Listen. Be there. You can make a difference.

They yell and scream about what ever topic that Face book and the news told them to get mad about. I’m not going to use this space to debate the subject matter, but just their motives. I have to ask, if you care so much about kids, where have you been all this time? Where were you when Trenton cut millions in funding from our schools?Wherewere you when fundraisers were being held?Where were you when the PTA needed volun teers to help out? Where were you when the athletes had games? Or the school play was held?Where were you when itYoumatters?weren’t here. You were just sitting at home, waiting to get angry.

But you think it’s the fault of a particular person – or a group of people – and now that you’ve found your scapegoat you’re ready forIt’swar.not your love of children that is motivat ing you, it’s your hatred for certain people. If you really loved the students, you’d con vince your job to spon sor a team. You’d give to charities. You’d give yourAndtime.you’d listen. In stead of screaming, de manding that other peo ple hear you - you’d lis ten. Then, you’d learn what kids really need. They need love, trust and hope. They need funding for their pro grams. They need char acter education as much as academic. They need staff who will lift them up, challenge them, and expand their horizons. They don’t need your rage. They need your love.They need you to show your heart.
Where Are These Angry Parents When They’re Really Needed? To protect our reproduc tive freedoms, we need to expand the Supreme Court. The Judiciary Act of 2021 would add four new seats to the Supreme Court, bring ing the number of justices to 13. It would help re store balance to a Court that Mitch McConnell has packed with right-wing extremists who just dis mantled abortion care in America.Recent polling showed that not only do a majority of Americans believe that the Supreme Court should uphold the right to abortion care, they also agree that we need to restore balance to the court and support adding additional judges to the Supreme Court. I’m urging Congress to pass the Judiciary Act so we can create an institution that moves away from par tisan politics and represents the good of all Americans.

Theaters like the Dover Cinema off Lake wood Road in Toms River changed format from a first release theater to a dollar the ater screening films that had been released for a while before it vanished completely when that shopping center was revamped. There had also been a $2 theater for sec ond-run movies on Route 37. The TRACO theater operated recently downtown, bor rowing the name of a theater that had been owned by another company decades ago. On May 25, 1990 the Loews Seacourt 10 opened their doors. It featured seating for 3,500 viewers and had two food conces sion areas. Only one, in the front of the theater, has been utilized for many years. The plaza was built by the Kaplan Organi zation based in Edison Township and the theater and stores were designed to bring some central/north Jersey flavor to Ocean County and provide some competition to the Ocean County Mall. The shopping center’s theater was at the time, the first major expansion for Tri Star Pictures of New York in the Ocean-Mon mouth counties market after it had pur chased Loews and Music Makers Theaters Inc. of Lakewood in October of 1986. Movie theaters have faced their share of challenges over the years since the Loews Seacourt 10 Theater opened. Not the least of them is the expansion of digital streaming. In more recent years, the Loews theater became an AMC. Like all theaters, they had to shut down during the pandemic in March of 2020.
at one Ryantime.Noonan, AMC vice president of corporate communications stated in a press release that AMC regularly evalu ates its locations and “makes decisions on a theater-by-theater basis based on what will best strengthen the company going forward.”Thetheater’s management told callers that the staff will be moving to the Brick location and the lease is up in the plaza. A call to the management company to learn what – if anything – will replace the theater was not returned at press time. The 40,000 square-foot, 10-screen theater was a state-of-the-art facility for film fans and an anchor attraction for the 220,000 square-foot Seacourt Pavilion which start ed being built in the fall of 1987. Early in its history the $60 million shopping center featured an Old Country Buffet restaurant conveniently located near the theater, a coffee shop (which later moved to the other side of the pavilion) and on the other side of the complex, a popular comic book store and a candy store for those who wanted to smuggle in treats. The theater fended off competition from the closest movie theater which was across the street at the Ocean County Mall. The mall cinema had three screens, opened be fore Seacourt, and closed several years ago to be replaced by a Japanese restaurant.

Reporter Patricia A. Miller Remembered
Miller was the name behind a lot of articles that you might have read from the last few decades. If it was about the slog of trying to recover from Super storm Sandy, there’s a good chance it had her byline. Two other favorite topics were lifting up people who needed help and tearing down corrupt politicians. She passed away recently, and when the news broke, it was followed by a wave of condolences from people with long roots in the communities she covered. She and I would talk about how negative people could be on social media. I think it would surprise her to see the warm things people said about her. Her niece reached out to share a little bit about her: “Pat Miller had a kind heart and an enormous love of animals. She loved writing and being part of her community. She is survived by her brother John Miller and wife Darlene, and niece Erin Miller.” We at Micromedia didn’t get the chance to work with her long. She started her career at the Asbury Park Press in 1984. In addi tion to her beat, she wrote a weekly column “Ocean Diary.” She spent seven years at Greater Media Newspapers and served as managing editor of the Edison/Metuchen Sentinel, the Woodbridge Sentinel and the Brick Township Bulletin. She spent eight years as a Patch editor. It was during this time that we used to cover Berkeley together, and that’s how we got to know each other. She kept trying to Photo by Micromedia Publications steal me away, but I had a good thing go ing with Micromedia. When she got lost in a Patch reshuffling, I scooped her up. I knew she was dependable, honest, and cared about the community. We get into this business because of compassion, and Pat’s heart was as big as they come. She was drawn to underdogs. If someone was fighting insurmountable odds, she was their cheerleader. She celebrated volunteers.Andspeaking of underdogs, she had a soft spot for pets. I took inspiration from this, and it’s why I post pets up for adoption in our papers from time to time. Pat knew what to write, and she knew what not to write (that’s an important skill they don’t teach you in journalism school).Shewon a number of awards during her time as a journalist, including the New Jersey Press Association, the New Jersey Society of Professional Journalists and the North Jersey Press Club. Her fairness earned her respect from elected officials. If a politician didn’t like her, that politician was probably up to no good. Upon hearing of her passing, former Senator Andrew Ciesla even commented “Sorry to learn of her passing. Pat covered a lot of my public life and always did a very nice job. May God bless her soul.” Her tight connections to the community showed in her writing. For her, reporting was personal. And that’s why I set out to write about the one topic she never wrote about – herself. Thank you, Pat, for all your help and all your heart.

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 devic es? 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. Oc casional repairs are normal; persistent problems that resist troubleshooting aren’t.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 differ ent level of technology.
• We focus on you. We ensure we un derstand you and your hearing goals.

• We educate. We help you make an informed decision.
Sound News
Advances: You might not realize just how far technology has advanced - with better filtering of background 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?
Signs It’s Time To Upgrade Your Hearing Aid Technology
• We follow up. You get follow-ups, tech clean and checks, and reprogramming for the life of the hearing aids.
Costly Repairs: Replacement parts for older hearing aid models are often scarce, especially if the model is dis continued. Think of your devices like a car: If repairing 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! Change in Lifestyle: When your life style changes, your tech might need to follow suit. Took up a sport? You’ll prob ably need moisture resistance. Switched from an office job to a job outdoors? You’re likely experiencing a different level of Technologicalnoise.
• We’re neighbors. We’re independent and part of your community.
Some suggest pickle juice for the morn ing after a night of drinking… I don’t know about that one, but I do think it could definitely help you recover from a workout or associated leg cramps. That’s probably its #1 folk remedy use. Perhaps a few spoonfuls in a cup of water could help someone with mild leg cramps. However, I wouldn’t drink it straight up if you are prone to heartburn or have an ulcer. Pickle juice contains a lot of sodium, and some believe that it triggers reflexes that essentially shut off misfiring neurons quickly, thereby alleviating cramps. We all probably have a dusty, sealed jar of old pickles that we’ve forgotten about, and if you’re like me, it’s probably sitting in the back corner of our fridge waiting for a sandwich! Make sure yours are fresh, and in date, and if you eat these lit tle guys, eat them in moderation because of the high sodium content. If you don’t like the taste of pickle juice straight up, you could pour a few teaspoonfuls into your salad dressing. By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
1. Pickles Help Digestion. On some level, the lactobacillus content (while low) still provides a beneficial aid to your intestinal health. If you have an upset stomach, abdominal cramps or low stomach acid production (hypoch lorhydria), the acidity of a small amount of pickle juice may restore proper pH, which in turn causes digestive troubles to subside.

DISTRIBUTED BY DEAR PHARMACIST, INC. 2 Surprising Ways Pickle Juice Solves Health Problems Hear me out, I know it sounds weird, but pickle juice has some pretty amaz ing and surprising health benefits that you probably didn’t even know about. Pickles are fermented cucumbers (that have been pickled in salt water). Get it? The pickles are pickled! (A little pickle pun never hurt anyone!) The fact is pickle juice is loaded with minerals, only 2 carbs, and 1 gram of fiber. In most cases, the water even contains healthy probiotic strains. In some states, like North Carolina where my daughter lives, pickle juice is held in high regard! So much so, that there is an annual pickle festival! When dining out in NC, many restaurants have pickle juice mixed with soda on the menu. There’s a drink called a “Pickleback Shot” which combines pickle brine with whiskey! There are all kinds of specialty drinks depending on where you live. So, while it may sound like face-puckering thought, pickle juice is utilized for many quick fixes! As for its medicinal benefits, here are 3 pretty cool ways pickle juice can improve your wellness:
2. Pickles Help Leg Cramps. Have a cramp? Pickle juice is a popular folk remedy that supposedly relieves muscle cramps (or reduces intensity), in under a minute of consumption! Like, almost immediately! It works incredibly fast and is faster than water alone when it comes to reducing muscle cramps. It probably works faster than things like Gatorade or other similar sports drinks!

The gray squirrel is a scatter-hoarder, mean ing it hoards food in numerous small caches to recover later. It’s estimated that squirrels make several thousand caches each season. They possess very accurate spatial memory for the location of such caches. They use landmarks to retrieve them. That’s not to say they will not steal food from other squirrels’ caches. Squirrels will sometimes pretend to bury food if they think they are being watched by other animals. They do this by preparing a spot as usual, digging a hole, and miming the place ment of food. In fact, the food is never placed in the spot, but concealed in their mouths.
JERSEY SHORE - The Eastern Gray Tree Squirrel is native to North America, but in some areas in the world, Europe, in particu lar, they are regarded as an invasive species. The gray squirrel is the most common in our area. They are a diurnal species, active in the daytime, as opposed to the flying squirrel, also very present in New Jersey, which are noctur nal, active at night. Neither of them hibernate.

The Eastern Gray Tree Squirrel They then cover the spot as if they deposited food. How smart is that! The gray tree squirrel is one of the few mam malian species able to descend a tree head first. Raccoons are another species able to do so. Eastern gray squirrels can breed two times a year, with the first litter being born in February or March and the second litter arriving in June or July. The gestation period is approximately 44 days. The younger and less experienced females will normally have one litter a year, in the spring. A typical litter will consist of one to four young who are weaned at around 10 weeks. Their eyes will open anywhere from 21 to 42 days. Only one in four babies will survive to one year. Their predators are hawks, raccoons, foxes, domestic and feral cats, snakes, owls, and dogs.The information for this article from was gathered through multiple sources so statistics may vary slightly.

The advantages of having a Caregiver Agreement include establishing clear caregiver compensation, providing a prac tical housing arrangement and assisting a Medicaid plan. Family members overwhelmingly provide the care for elderly and disabled loved ones at home. Although it’s a la bor of love, taking care of ailing loved ones also has a market value, meaning that caretakers can be paid as a way to protect assets. It’s only fair that the child who is caring for the parent should be paid for the services. When a caregiver’s compensation is memorialized in a legal document, allegations by other siblings are minimized because the contract spells out the details. Further, to protect family relationships, it’s recommended that all family members agree with the Arrangement even if they are not parties to the agree ment.Byhaving a Caregiver Agreement, the parent may be able to avoid a nursing facility by providing for the parent to be able to remain in the parent’s home or the home of the caregiver instead of a nursing facility.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward. 732-505-1212 • RCSHEA.COM A Caregiver Agreement is a written contract entered into between a person needing care and a person providing care. Usually, the Caregiver Agreement is between an adult child and a parent, a relative or a friend. Through the use of a Caregiver Agreement, the disabled or elderly person can transfer money to family members as compensation rather than as a gift. A properly prepared Agreement specif ically lists what services the child is to provide to the parent and at what price. The Agreement must be in writing and entered into before the compensated ser vices are rendered. Since the caregiver child is getting “paid” they must report the income for tax purposes. In some cases, the parent may be able to deduct the payments as a medical expense.

A Caregiver Agreement can also be part of a Medicaid plan. As long as the Agreement is correctly drafted, and both parties abide by its terms, funds payable to the caregiver under the Agreement will accelerate Medicaid eligibility. Since pay ments are made for the services rendered, they should not be treated as gifts. This will thwart Medicaid penalties as a result of giving money directly to the caregiver child. Since caregiver agreements transfer money over a period of time, they are bet ter entered into sooner rather than later. The child should consider the following points if the child feels uncomfortable about taking money to care for the parent: A third-party caregiver would get paid for caring and giving room and board to the parent; If the parent were to apply for Medicaid, money that the child could have been paid for legitimately caring for their parent will instead be paid to the nursing home as part of a Medicaid spend down. A proper Caregiver Agreement can be a valuable elder-law planning tool in the right circumstances. Contact our office to see if a Caregiver Agreement makes sense for you.

OCEAN COUNTY – Members of the non-prof it group Dine On Us are extremely excited with the success of their recent events even as they plan out their next one. Dine On Us is on a mission to provide dining and entertainment opportunities for our active military families who are not able to do so due to economic hardships.

Celebrity Golf Invitational To Raise Money For Soldiers care is still not allowed back on the base and the spouse’s professional licenses are not transferrable to the state of New Jersey. Dine on Us was denied access to bring meals to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, so they decided to find ways to get the military families off the base: either as a much-needed family night out, a long overdue date night, entertainment vouchers, a gas card, and groceries. These are all the basic liberties of life that our active military cannot enjoy. To recap, the KW Red Day Bowl-A-Thon results started us off strong by allowing the group to pur chase 165 custom gift card packages for Active Military Families. Additionally, the group’s first Surf & Turf event brought in $5,000 that was put towards purchasing an additional 35 gift card careEachpackages.carepackage was valued at $300 and with upcoming 2022 events and the Christmas season on the way, the organization is aiming high to gain more funds to further our mission of rolling out another round of care packages to active New Jersey military families in the area for a holiday season they will never forget.
To help support Dine On Us, come out to their Celebrity Golf Invitational on September 8, enter their Celebrity Golf Invitational Island Resort raffle ending that same day, and join them at their Chef’s Tasting At The Beach on October 2. For full details visit dineonus.org/events.
