There was a state championship. There was a regional championship. And the team placed seventh in the world and fourth in the United States at the Little League Intermediate 50/70 World Series Baseball Tournament in Livermore, Ca. The club completed its summer with a 12-2 record. Its players were 13-year-old boys. “What a summer,” said manager Paul Mika, who doubled as the league’s president. “It was a crazy ride. We fought all summer without two of our best players. They were lost to injury. I am so proud of our boys. The boys never gave up. We gave it our best shot.

THIS MONTH IN HISTORY: THE NJ STATE CONSTITUTION officials - and it’s not just the federal Constitution that is sworn to be upheld, but also the state Consti tution.Our New Jersey state Constitution: this year marks the 75th anniversa ry of its adoption in 1947. Where did it come from? How was it drafted? Who was involved? And for us, here, in Ocean County, what was our special role in getting it adopted? Our Constitutional His tory We need to remember that this is New Jersey’s third state Constitutionunlike the federal Consti tution, just one in history. The first New Jersey document was written and adopted in just days in June 1776, when the British, literally, were coming. It broke ties with England, established a government primarily for a military defense, and was supposed to last for a short period of time. It governed New Jersey for 68Inyears.1844, the “horse and buggy constitution” re placed it. It was a com plicated document pro viding for 17 separate courts, with overlapping jurisdictions, and a weak governor who was elected for one 3-year term and who could not run for re-election.Therewere several ef forts to change it. In 1875, the idea of a “thorough and efficient” education for public schools was added. In 1944, at the height of WWII, a (History - See Page 10)

White haired seniors connect with millennials and young children as they all fall into a reflective trance to the beat of various percussion instruments. The feeling of acceptance and non-judgment appears to be a primary goal of the participants. Some of the instruments are decorated with stickers calling for world peace. Many share stories of how they ac quired their musical devices, which include shakers from as far away as AfricanMiguelnations.Ojedocame to play with the Ocean County Drum Circle for the first time last month. He brought along his young daughter who clung to her father as he played an instrument known as a shekere. Ojedo said he’s played with African drum circles in the past. Ojedo’s shiny red instrument is actu ally made from a gourd and contains beads. It emits a pleasant sound that adds to the others. On the opposite Drum: Continued From Page 1 side of the circle, a woman adds to the rhythm with a rainstick. Cymbals, triangles, and a tambourine accentuate different tones than those made by the snares and bass drums. Sharon Fox comes to the Drum Circle to take advantage of their sounds. Her body makes subtle moves in synch with the music. A self-taught bellydancer, Fox’s arms gracefully invite watchers to join her. Three young women appeared at last month’s Drum Circle and followed Fox’s lead. They swayed their hips slightly as big smiles overtook their faces.While each of the individuals plays a tone of their own, the conversion of rhythms almost sounds therapeutic. Some of the drummers appear more experienced than others and initiate the beginning beats. However, no one has sheet music or seems to follow any particular order. “Earth my Body, Water my Blood, Air my Breath and Fire my Spirit,” chanted drum circle participants as they set the mood to one of their sessions. Whether people come to play, to dance, or to listen, the experience seems to create a calming effect. A connection of strangers through soothing tones brings a few moments of peace in a world filled with angst. The Ocean County Drum Circle re turns to Mathis Plaza on September 11 at 2 p.m. All are invited to attend and seek more information about the group on their Facebook page.

He said the players have known each other for a long time. “The boys had a confident personality as Team: Continued From Page 1 some of them have played together since the age of five,” he said. “When we won the state title for the second straight season (the team captured the crown last season on its way to Williamsport), the boys were so confident and ready for their regional run (in Comack, N.Y.). We added Arnesen and Luongo. They stepped up in a big way and contributed to our success. The boys who returned from last year’s team killed it. The boys showed why they were one of the best teams in the world. “We truly believe we would have won the whole thing in California if we did not have two of our better players get hurt. We rolled in California with only nine players and gave teams a run for their money.”
East’s coaches were Charlie Frazier, Bobby Arnesen and Paddy Matera. Charlie Frazier, a former Toms River High School South standout and Carson’s dad, advanced to Double A in the Marlins’ minor-league sys tem. His brothers, Todd and Jeff Frazier, the former South and Rutgers University stars, are retired major-league players. “I will forever be grateful to Charlie, Bobby and Paddy for coaching this team,” Mika said. In the Intermediate Division, the pitcher’s mound is 50 feet from home plate. The bases are 70 feet apart. In 12-year-old play, the mound is 46 feet from the plate. The bases are 60 feet apart. Mika said East began practice May15 and practiced each day on non-game days. He and his coaches chose the players. Little League International paid all expenses for players and coaches. He said the parents paid their own way. The team had a motto: “One team. One dream. Never quit,” Mika said. “I loved all the boys like they were my own sons. The boys have grown so much over these last two years. They have become responsible young men. I have coached most of them for the last seven to eight years. We had good team chemistry as most of the boys played on our team of 12-year-olds last year.”
Manager Mika said he has cut back on his duties. “I am semi retiring,” he said. “I am not coaching in the fall for the first time in 13 years. I am also stepping down as presi dent. I need a break. I need to recharge my batteries. “What I enjoy the most about coaching youth baseball are the relation ships I have formed with the players and the coaches. Baseball is a very close com munity. We are competitive on the field and gentlemen off the field.”

The team consisted of Steven Malato, Car son Frazier, Jason Verderrosa, Cole Gar rison, Jayden Luongo, Max Mika, Cailen Cimorelli, Adrian Bilotti, Tyler Arnesen, Jalen McLean, and Joey DiMeo. Garrison, Cimorelli, Frazier, Bilotti, Mika, McLean, Verderrosa, Malato and DiMeo played on last year’s East team which was 1-2 at the Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport, Pa. Frazier earned a berth on the Northeast Stars team of the USA Baseball National Team Identification Series World Cup in Cary, N.C. “The boys have become young men,” manager Mika said. “They are not the little 12-year-olds they were at this time last year. This is the second year in a row when they were away from their parents so they matured through the process. They learned many life skills along the way. We boarded a plane and went to California. The players were without their families on the plane. They stayed in hotel rooms without their families.”

At just 17 years old, Scaturro joined the United States Army. He later became a founding member of the Brick Township Police Department in 1966. Scaturro ulti mately served as the head of the detective bureau.“Stephen Scaturro served 27 years as a legislative aid to Senators Andrew Cies la and James Holzapfel,” read Clerk of the Board of Commissioners Michelle I. Gunther from a proclamation prepared in Scaturro’s honor. “(He is) a veteran of both the United States Army and the United States Air Force.” Scaturro also devoted time to community service and assumed various leadership roles. He was once the President of the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce. Scaturro not only served as President of the Brick Township Rotary Club but was also named the Rotarian of the Year in 1997. As the head of the Ocean County Director of Community Affairs, Scaturro received credit for transforming the department from a small county agency to the leading consumer affairs office in the state. “He has worked closely with local police departments, the Ocean County Prosecu tor’s Office, and the State Attorney Gen eral on numerous anti-fraud initiatives,” Gunther read. “And worked with the Ocean County Office of Senior Services to protect the county’s 200,000 older adults.” Scaturro’s role in Consumer Affairs includ ed what was referred to as “tireless work” to protect the economy in Ocean County. He divided his focus between mom-and-pop businesses and recognized the importance of tourism in helping seasonal companies prosper.Amember of the state motor vehicle commission, Scaturro previously served as the vice president of the New Jersey County and Municipal Affairs agencies. Scaturro continues as the Vice President of the Ocean County Vocational Technical Schools Board of Education.

Each of the Ocean County Commissioners took time to express gratitude to Scaturro for his service and wish him well on his re tirement. Scaturro returned the thanks with some short remarks and recalled the depart ment’s role in the worst of times, including Superstorm Sandy and the pandemic.

“Steve showed great leadership and served as an example not only for residents of Ocean County as consumers,” said Com missioner Joseph H. Vicari. “But also, for helping small businesses.” According to Vicari, New Jersey’s attorney general recognized Scaturro for changing how Consumer Affairs agencies operate and used Ocean County as a model.

The last two Ocean County Commission ers meetings included discussions regard ing Block and Scaturro’s replacements. Many advocated for Block to stay in his role for an extended period, while some questioned Collins’ credentials. The Commissioners appointed Scaturro’s Deputy Director Ed McBride to head up Consumer Affairs. However, in a prior meeting, members of the public asked why the position was opened to outside appli cants. The Asbury Park Press reported that state Assemblyman John Catalano expressed an interest in the position. : Continued From Page 6

In thanking his family for their support, Scaturro revealed that he and his wife Ruthanne have six chil dren, eleven grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren on the way. Director of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners John “Jack” Kelly shared some of the history that began Carl Block’s service to Ocean County 35 years ago. “Carl was appointed first as the Ocean County Deputy Clerk in 1987,” said Kelly. “Then in 2003, and again in 2008, Carl was elected as the County Clerk.”In2010, Kelly and then-Freeholder John Bartlett met with Block to ask him to consider leaving his elected position to take on the role of Ocean County Ad ministrator. Block initially expressed his misgivings and ultimately took on what Kelly described as the “most pow erful position in county government.” “As our administrator, Carl oversaw numerous projects, including the con struction of a new county jail,” Kelly shared. “Many new parks, upgrading the county’s technology department, and most recently working on the new social services building and now the new courthouse annex.” According to Kelly, Block worked closely with Julie Tarrant, Chief Finan cial Officer, on budgetary concerns that impact county tax rates.

“Carl truly excelled during Superstorm Sandy when he led our professional staff in dealing with the aftermath of the county’s worst disaster,” said Kelly. “He helped provide relief to all of our 33 communities, but especially to the shore towns, which were most impacted by the devastating storm.” Kelly also credited Block for his work during the COVID epidemic as county officials collaborated with the Board of Health to set up vaccination sites. Before his roles in county government, Block served as Stafford Township’s mayor for 26 years. After Gunther read the formal procla mation honoring Block, several officials and members of the public spoke about Block’s public service. Ocean County Clerk Scott M. Colabella came with veteran employees from his office who had fond recollections of working with Block.Colabella pointed out that he, Kelly, and Block had all worked in the coun ty clerk’s office at some point. Ocean County Surrogate Jeffrey Moran also took time to reminisce about working with Block, as did the other county commissioners.Kelly,generally a stickler in holding people to five-minute comment limita tions, made an exception when it came to giving both public servants a proper sendoff.Block recalled that when he worked at Shop Rite and Foodtown, he did his job well. However, his work as a mayor, clerk, and administrator meant the most to him. Block’s personal goal was to improve things for people. In each of the positions he held, Block said that any accolades he received also reflected the work of the people who worked for him, supported him and helped him. Block went through an extensive list of names of people who assisted him during his various leadership roles in govern mental service. His remarks included assurances that his successor Michael J. Fiure would do well. Block also expressed confidence that Tristin J. Collins appeared to have the “acumen and ability” to replace Fiure as Assistant County Administrator.

On the first business day after the homicide, township officials shut down theTopsite.Tier Hookha had their Certificate of Occupancy revoked due to multiple zoning, safety and code violations Mayor Maurice B Hill announced. “This business has been under inves tigation by our Quality of Life Task Force due to multiple complaints,” Hill said. “The Task Force found several violations and instructed the business owners to bring the establishment into compliance. Those instructions were ignored. The investigation into Saturday’s shooting confirmed that the business owners were operating in violation of their approved status as a retail-only establishment and likely made false or misleading statements on their zoning application. As a result their Certificate of Occupancy has been revoked today and they are no longer permitted to operate or do business at 1783 Hooper Ave in the Silverton section of the Township.”
The shooting took place at around 1:20 a.m. on August 27 at 1783 Hoop er Avenue. Police said a 25-year-old man was taken to Community Medical Center in Toms River where he died of hisAinjuries.29-year-old man was listed in critical but stable condition and an other 25-year-old man was treated and released. Both had been brought to a different hospital. The names of the people involved were not released by officials.

History: Continued From Page 1 (History - See Page 24)
Constitutional Consensus The convention worked through that sweltering summer by way of several sub-committees. A consensus quickly emerged on several points. First, it was agreed that there should be a New Jersey Bill of Rights. That was quickly agreed to, but unlike the federal constitution - rights as an afterthought via ten amendments once the nation al government was created in articles one, two, and three - the New Jersey document provided for rights first. Article One of our state document establishes “rights and privileges” - natural and unalienable rights. The placing of rights first: that was no accident of history. And of those natural rights, it’s not just life,
The Summer Of ‘47 1947: It was, in history, the year of the boys ofJackiesummer.Robinson broke the racial barrier line in Major League baseball. Two young men would begin their careers in Congress: John Kennedy and Richard Nixon. India would gain its independence. The Truman Doctrine would usher in the ColdAndWar.back in New Jersey, the constitutional convention began in New Brunswick at Rut gersFilledCollege.with pomp and circumstance at the school’s College Avenue gymnasium, Governor Driscoll opened the convention on June 12 with these words: “We begin the task of constitu tion-making at a time when the world is beset with doubts and misunderstandings...with conflicting interests. While this State has lived under the same Constitution for over a century, its people have undergone a civil war, two world wars, and industrial and social revolutions. A great work is expected of you.” The first item of business was to elect a con vention secretary. Ocean County’s Van Camp was unanimously chosen and he immediately resigned as a voting delegate. Toms River lawyer Franklin Berry, Sr. was cho sen to replace Van Camp. Berry was a Colonel in the United States Army who had participated in the Nuremberg war trials. Colonel Berry would play a unique role in the coming constitutional debate.
The vote to hold a convention was overwhelm ingly approved. Statewide, the vote was 84 percent yes. Every county voted yes. In Ocean County, the yes vote was 61 percent. Each county was apportioned delegates based on their population. Ocean County, with a small population then, had two delegates. There were a total of 81 delegates representing the state’s 21 counties. Here in Ocean County, Percy Camp, born in Jackson, who studied law, but never went to law school, led the voting. Oliver Van Camp, from Point Pleasant Beach, came in second. He had been the secretary for the New Jersey State Senate for many years. A third candidate, John Ewart, a Toms River lawyer - who later served on the then-Dover Township Committee (now Toms River) and as a county judge - lost. The convention began nine days after the referendum was approved.

TimesTOMS RIVERThe referendum to replace it failed. “Let’s wait until the boys are home” was the rallying cry for keeping the status quo. 1947: Change Was In The Air With the boys home after the war, efforts continued for change. In 1946, Alfred E. Driscoll made constitutional reform the centerpiece of his successful campaign for Governor. After taking office, he immedi ately worked to replace the old, antiquated constitution.Thecampaign for change had several parts - and Ocean County was involved from the veryFirst,beginning.aconstitutional convention had to be approved by the voters. Second, the convention would have to come up with a new document. Third, a campaign to get the draft approved would have to be waged. And last, the voters would have to give their final approval. Getting a new constitution in place would be no easy task. Still fresh in the minds of the voters was the defeated 1944 referendum. In that elec tion, an odd alliance of Jersey City Mayor Frank Hague, a Democrat, and south Jersey Republicans, opposed any change and the question failed by a wide margin. By 1947, change was in the air driven by Governor Driscoll.
On June 3rd, a two-part referendum was held: One: Should a constitutional convention be convened?Two:Ifyes, who should the delegates to it be?

3. Banaba May Support Healthy DNA.
There are side effects with banaba, just like there are with other herbs and medications. Be careful when using this herbal derivative because it can lower blood sugar, which can be dangerous, especially if you’re taking anti-diabetic medications or herbs. Banaba has been known to cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Just like any medication or plant-derived herb, this is a possibility.
(This information is not intended to treat, cure or diagnose your condition. Suzy Cohen is the author of “The 24-Hour Pharmacist” and “Real Solutions.” For more information, visit www.SuzyCohen.com) ©2022 SUZY COHEN, RPH. DISTRIBUTED BY DEAR PHARMACIST, INC.
What’s interesting is that, unlike many other herbs that have anti proliferative activity, banaba works differently. Most other herbs cause a cancer cell to die (ie to end its own life), the term for this is called “apoptosis.” But with banaba leaf, the anti-cancer effect comes from several other mechanisms, and the overall result suggests it could benefit people dealing with kidney and possibly liver cancer.
The hypoglycemic effects of banaba extract come from certain leaf or seed compounds, a few of which include corosolic acid, ellagic acid, triterpenes, flavones, tannins, and others. I don’t recommend you try to steep anything off your tree or do a DIY project! You are more than likely going to hurt yourself. Commercial preparations of this natural supplement are sold in health food stores and online retailers.
Remarkable Benefits Of Banaba That Can Save Your Life
The benefit of having more balanced blood sugar is that you have fewer cravings and can start losing weight! Any antidiabetic effect (even from medication) causes the same effect.

1. Banaba Can Illicit Reductions in Blood Sugar. Corosolic acid has been reported to have immediate effects. For example, it was shown that this compound could decrease blood sugar levels within 60 min in partici pants who were tested. Banaba increases insulin sensitivity, so your levels of glucose go down. Furthermore, inflammatory cytokines also go down. This should translate to a reduced risk of diabetic complications such as heart attack and am putation. There are studies all over pubmed that will affirm these effects, and others in case you are interested.

Let’s go over some incredible benefits:
Banaba leaf has been used for centuries to treat various ailments. Banaba is not misspelled, it is not intended to be banana, it is “banaba” and therefore has nothing to do with the delicious starchy fruit you might be thinking of. Known in the botanical world as Lagerstro emia speciosa (L.), this plant is also known as the Crapemyrtle tree! When in full bloom, these are the most beautiful trees you will ever see in the south!
PharmacistDearSuzyCohen,R.Ph.
2. Banaba Can Cause Reductions in Cho lesterol. When you reduce cholesterol to a normal healthy amount (not a ridiculously low amount), your heart disease risk decreases. And when I say “cholesterol” I don’t actually mean total amounts, I mean the LDL and VLDL components. The same constituents I mentioned above in banaba play a critical role in reducing cholesterol, and studies prove this.
Still, I feel that the pros outweigh the cons with banaba. You can ask your practitioner if it’s something that could help you. Also, if you would like to read a more detailed version of my article visit suzycohen.com.”

Your will is the most important document you will ever sign. It only makes sense to have it prepared by an attorney knowledge able in estate law rather than try to do it your self.

Some people will try to draft wills them selves because they want to put in certain wording. In some cases the wording that they are trying to put in their wills is either illegal, impractical or impossible to carry out. For example, one client wanted to leave all the assets to the executor named in the will and let the executor determine how the assets should be divided. In other words, the executor would be making the very decisions that the maker of the will should have made.
Our clients’ success our greatest reward.

It happens several times each year, a client walks into my office with a document entitled “Last Will and Testament” and asks me to review it. The document is always a will that the client attempted to draft on his or her own. In some cases they used a form book from the library, in other cases they used an online service or a software program which they purchased. In a few instances, they will attempt to copy another will, either their own prior will or someone else’s. In almost every instance, the document does not meet the requirements for a will in the State of New Jersey putting them in a position where they either have no will at all or which requires a court to interpret the document for them, which could cost their estates a lot of money. I believe that drafting your own will is like trying to remove your own gall bladder. There is a small chance that you may do it right, but there is a far greater chance that you won’t. In over 100 do-it-yourself wills that I have reviewed, not one was a valid will that would have been probated with the Surrogate’s office. When I ask the client why they attempted to draft their own will, the most common answer I receive is that they wanted to save money. Other times they will tell me that they wrote the will themselves because an attorney refused to prepare the will they way they wanted it. In one instance a client told me he drafted his own will because he did not understand the “legalese” he saw in wills and he wanted a will that he and his family couldLookingunderstand.atthevarious reasons why people draft their own wills I find that most of them are not valid. As noted, the most common reason people try to make their own wills is to save money. This is most often an illusion. In Ocean County the average cost of preparing a will varies from $100 to $200. The cost of having to go to court if the will is not drafted property can be as high as $2,500 to $3,000. In a worst case scenario, the court may rule that there is no will at all, thus subjecting the estate to go through administration, where the cost of posting a surety bond could easily exceed $1,000.00 each year in an average estate. Clearly, any savings of trying to write your own will could be wiped out by the potential costs if the will is not drafted properly.
Finally, wills are drafted by attorneys using terms and concepts that date back to medieval England. Those terms and concept have a specific meaning in the law. Often those terms are not readily understood by the non-lawyer. By attempting to draft a will using common English, in many cases a person will create an ambiguity that can only be resolved by a court at great expense to the person’s estate. In one case, when faced with two conflicting clauses concerning the payment of death taxes and not understand ing either clause, the client put both clauses into the will and said let the executor decide which clause should apply. One can only imagine what the Internal Revenue Service would have done with that logic.

When your eyes appear to be perfectly healthy, even to your doctor, yet you continue to have issues with your vision, it may be a form of dementia called “posterior cortical atrophy” (PCA). PCA occurs when the occipital lobes in the posterior of the brain are damaged. PCA is an easy condition to miss, but one of the key symptoms is called “simultanagnosia,” the inability to see more than one thing at a time. PCA symptoms appear earlier than those of Alzheimer’s Disease, usually in people between 50 and 60 years old and include difficulty identifying one item from a pile or group. While some medications may be prescribed, assistance in home modification from a professional is recommended. Eye diseases and surgeries are treated comprehensively and expertly by our superior surgeons, optometrists, and opticians. We treat patients individually, with an emphasis on patient education. Patients frequently proclaim that they never have had an exam as good as the one that we provide. If it’s been a while since you’ve had an eye exam, make an appointment with SIGHTMD by calling 732-349-5622. We offer hours most nights of the week. P.S.

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.

Local Reporter Patricia A. Miller
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

JERSEY SHORE - The monarch butterfly is easily recognized by their vibrant orange wings. Monarch butter flies are pollinators, like bees. Polli nating is critical to the survival of our planet. In doing so, monarch butterflies are also an important food source for other insects, bird, and small animals. During the fall millions of monarch butterflies take on the migration to overwinter in Mexico and to some locations along the California coast. When spring arrives monarchs return to breeding areas and the cycle begins again. Their migration is considered to be one of the most spectacular on the planet. Some theories as to the causes of their decline are the loss of milkweed which is needed for mon arch caterpillars to grow and develop. Milkweed is the only plant they lay their eggs on. Once the eggs hatch, the caterpillars will consume massive amounts of milkweed leaves. Sadly, the monarch butterfly pop ulation has been steadily declining at enormous rates. Some reasons for the decline are the drought conditions in areas in the western United States contributing to reduced availability of milkweed in late summer. Using insecticides and herbicides to control
Around the Jersey shore Monarch Butterflies
Facing Battles For Survival insects and weeds causes unintended consequences for the monarch butter fly. Habitat is lost from development and the decaying of aging trees in the overwintering sites in California. The illegal logging in overwintering sites in Mexico is also creating habitat loss. We can help the monarchs by planting milkweed and butterfly nectar plants, thereby creating a monarch butterfly habitat. Planting milkweed helps the caterpillars grow and develop. Nectar plants provide energy as they breed, for the migratory journey, and to build re serves for the long winter. When grow ing these plants avoid using pesticides. Without nectar plants in bloom for the monarch to feed on when they need to fly, they will not have any energy to continue and reach their destination. If we create a monarch habitat in our gardens, this will help to reverse their decline.Ifyouwould like to raise and release monarch butterflies, there is much information online. I would be happy to provide you with some direction as well.The information for this article from was gathered through multiple sources so statistics may vary slightly.

08755 Saturday,
Dr. Scott Amoss, DPM, CWS is a lot more than a “foot doc tor,” as people often mistake podiatrists for. In reality, “we provide comprehensive lower extremity care,” he said. So yes, if your foot hurts, Dr. Amoss will be happy to help. However, that barely scratches the surface of all the conditions he sees and the treatments he provides.Dr.Amoss (pronounced like “famous Amoss”) grew up in nearby Ocean Township and has been connected to the Jersey Shore community and greater New Jersey area his entire life. Originally, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chem istry at Rutgers and spent a few years in the chemical industry. However, that feeling of wanting to make a difference in people’s lives that drives all physicians caught hold of Dr. Amoss. He liked podiatry in particular because of its ability to help people really quickly. “You can immediately have a positive impact on someone’s life. They come in pain, and can leave virtually pain free.” Scott Amoss became Doctor Scott Amoss when he graduated fourth in his class with numer ous honors from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. He then completed a two year residency focusing on orthopedic, vascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, in addition to training in internal and emergency medicine, der matology, and radiology.
After that, Dr. Amoss knew it was time to go out on his own, so he opened Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists in Whiting. 17 years later, the practice is going strong and recently opened a new location in Toms River to be closer to Communi ty Medical Center, where he’s a surgeon on staff. Critically, this new foothold also allows him, as a specialist in diabetic foot care, to help the growing dia betic community in the area. While expanding served a logistically necessary purpose, Advanced Foot & Ankle has never lost its personal touch. You’ll never just be passed off to whichever doctor is on the clock that day, because Dr. Amoss is proud to be a solo practitioner. “The patients see me and only me,” he said. “It’s good continuity of care.” His tight-knit support staff of seven ensures that you get the streamlined care you deserve. That’s crucial in the field of Podiatry because, after all, things can get serious when it comes to Diabetes and foot complications. Luckily, Dr. Amoss is an Amputation Pre vention Specialist as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Less serious conditions like hammertoes, ingrown nails, bunions, and athlete’s foot can be treated in the office, often during your initial visit! “We’re very conservative,” Dr. Amoss assures future patients. “I’m surgically trained but I only like to perform surgery when all other conservative means have been exhausted. It’s go ing to be painless.” He makes that possible by developing treatment plans for each spe cific patient. Rest assured, Advanced Foot & Ankle is fully equipped to do so as soon as you come in. Both offices have digital X-rays so they can almost instantly see what’s going on and review it with the patient. They also have a diagnostic ultrasound to diagnose soft tissue conditions, as well as a laser for treatment of pain and neuropathy, a painful nerve condition caused by diabetes and other issues. They even offer MicroVas therapy, which gives much needed relief to patients with high levels of diabetic neu ropathy, as well as vascular or PAD testing.
By having strategically-locat ed offices, an experienced and focused staff, and tons of treat ment methods and equipment at his disposal, Dr. Amoss is able to easily achieve his goal of getting you fast comfort and relief. When it comes to diseases like melanoma, for example, speed is absolutely critical. The most deadly form of skin cancer, melanoma has an especially poor prognosis on the foot because it often goes unnoticed for a long time. Dr. Amoss diagnosed several of these cases last year, which probably saved those patients’ lives.But sometimes conditions aren’t as complicated as much as some of the larger podiatrist offices try to let on. Dr. Amoss remembers one recent patient who came in after being with one such practice. “These eight doctors had exhausted all treatment options for this in dividual in pain,” he said. After years of getting the runaround, they told him there was noth ing they could do. The patient came limping into Advanced Foot & Ankle with what Dr. Amoss diagnosed in a matter of minutes as a simple corn on the tip of his toe. “We gave him a customized foot pad which helped him tremendously, and by the next day he came in to thank us and tell us how much better he was doing,” Dr. Amoss said. “He couldn’t believe he waited and wasted several years with this other group of doctors.” At Advanced Foot & Ankle, you’ll get fast and customized treatment from a doctor you can trust. Give them a call to day at 732-350-0100 and their very accommodating staff will be able to make an appoint ment for you with Dr. Amoss right away. And as the “urgent care of the lower extremity,” emergency appointments are also available. Advanced Foot & Ankle is located at 400 Lacey Road in Whiting (in the Stop and Shop Shopping Center) and 601 Route 37 West, Suite 300 in Toms Riv er (in front of the Ocean Eye Institute).

Shemar Jackson, 22, of Galloway Township, pleaded guilty to Strict Lia bility Drug Induced Death in connection to a drug overdose that occurred on December 5, 2019, police said. At the time of his sentencing on October 14, the State will be recommending a term of seven years New Jersey State Prison, subject to the terms of the No Early Re lease Act, which means he must serve at least 85% of his sentence before being eligible for parole. The victim was a 24-year-old man who died in a home in Toms River. Police said that the heroin and fentanyl found in his system led officers to Jackson who supplied the drugs the day before.
Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer acknowledged the efforts of Supervising Assistant Prosecutor Kris tin Pressman who handled the case on behalf of the State, as well as the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office

Narcotics Strike Force, Toms River Township Police Department, Barnegat Township Police Department Crime Re duction Unit, Galloway Township Police Department, Atlantic County Prosecu tor’s Office, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit, for their collective efforts in connection with this investigation leading to Jack son’s apprehension, guilty plea, and soon his state prison sentence.
