JERSEY SHORE – A pod of dolphins slips through the waves. A humpback whale breaches close to shore. Are you in Hawaii? No, you’re in Seaside. Beachgoers were thrilled to see a humpback putting on a show during the last days of summer vacation, plowing through the water and feeding.

“I’d like to remove the K-8 and the 9-12 Health and PE standards,” said Michael Hickey, board member. “This way, we can move back in for further consideration and clarification on questions that are still out there. We can then basically move through all other items for the curriculum.”
In a surprise move, the Barnegat Township Board of Education voted to separate sections of the curriculum submitted by district administrators for approval.
Two youngsters raced through their grandparents’ Brighton Beach home and rushed outside to its dock directly on the Barnegat Bay. The early morning hours didn’t seem to faze them as the boy and girl grabbed nets to skim the water.

The most difficult part was for Joclyn to gain Kianna’s trust.

taking Sophia and Aiden for a walk. Picture bubbles illustrate the different types of family relationships.
Grandma and Grandpa pick up the kids from school, which appears to be somewhat of an anomaly. Additionally, the fact that Kianna and Kayden are biracial brought on a sense of ugliness that Beth just wasn’t prepared for at all.
“We Live with Nana and Grandpa” is published by Covenant Books, written by Beth Jester, and illustrated by Rylan Fabryk and is available on Amazon.
“We were in the midst of building this house seven years ago when we got the kids,” said Beth Jester, Kianna and Kayden’s grandmother. “We got them in June and made settlement in September.”
“We went down the next day,” Beth said. “We took the kids back with us and have had them ever since.”
Beth said she chose the names for the story after doing research about popular ones. The most important premise of the book focuses on family love and the time everyone spends together. Sophia and Aiden are just three and five and enjoy things like riding bikes and playing with friends.
A close relative of the father’s family revealed the couple was back to using
The teen’s difficulties escalated once she was out on her own. Joclyn began using all types of drugs and ultimately turned to heroin when she became desperate. Although Joclyn preferred cocaine, heroin was cheaper and more available.
“They look around, and they see many of their peers are not the same as them,” Beth said. “They know that many of their peers have a mother and a father and their lives are different.”
“She really remembers more and has more insecurities,” shared Joclyn. “Kayden doesn’t remember much at all. It’s taking time, but things are getting more comfortable.”
“Even in a paradise like LBI, there are grandparents raising grandchildren,” Beth reminded. “Families come in all different forms.”
Devastated to see their beautiful daughter hooked on drugs, the Jesters signed up Joclyn for rehab in Florida. Joclyn met her children’s father, and the two prepared to start a life together.
As she searched for resources about grandparents raising grandchildren, Beth found very little to help her. Beth’s frustration grew as she noticed the lack of children’s books on the subject. In her case, Beth hoped to find something to reassure her grandchildren that families come in all colors.
drugs. The woman said that she intended to call child services unless Beth and her husband came down to get the kids. The caller seemed confident the children would be taken by the state agency.
Beth recalled when she and her husband, John, decided to raise their two grandchildren. She described their daughter, Joclyn, as troubled from when she hit her mid-teens. After graduating high school, Joclyn moved out because she was unwilling to follow her parents’ rules.
Joclyn stayed in Florida and cycled downward for several years. When she came back to be closer to her family, Joclyn was in and out of at least a dozen local rehabs. Finally, Beth told her daughter that she would not allow her to move home until she went to a long-term facility and met with counselors.
“Kayden has had two incidences that were mean and hurtful,” said Beth. “We had to explain certain words (racial slurs) to him that we weren’t ready to discuss but had noAchoice.”boyalso told Kayden at recess he had to fi nd another parent because he was the “wrong color.”
The Jesters have two adult sons and five other grandchildren in addition to Joclyn and her kids. While they continued to enjoy typical interactions with the rest of the family, Beth recognized she faced challenges with raising Kianna and Kayden.
The Jester family does many things together and fi nds that being on the water brings a sense of peace to them. They’ve discovered many of LBI’s hidden gems and love things like the upcoming kite festival.
Story: Continued From Page 1
“You sometimes forget the things you did when the kids were younger,” Beth admitted. “You’re back to diapering; you’re bathing them, putting them down for naps, reading bedtime stories and doing double laundry.”Thechildren’s father remains uninvolved in their lives, which resulted in questions.
Kianna and Kayden know the book is about them but aren’t keen on discussing it. The two share an undeniable bond with one another. Nonetheless, like most siblings close in age, they sometimes get into spats. They’ve adjusted well and have now welcomed a critical person back into their lives.
The story begins with the grandfather
“They were both clean for four years during Joclyn’s pregnancies and the birth of both kids,” Beth shared. “After Kayden was born, I think she had postpartum (depression) that led them both back to their comfort zone.”
Beth and John made regular trips to Florida to visit Joclyn and her family. Everything seemed okay until they received the call that changed everyone’s lives.
Beth left her full time job working for an advocacy agency centered on mental health, substance abuse, and intellectual disabilities. Instead, her entire focus became on doing what was best for her grandchildren.
Beth doesn’t consider herself a writer but rather, a grandmother on a mission. She decided she’d tell the story as she knew it needed to be told. Beth wanted other children to understand that grand-families are still families and are not alone in how they’re raised.

Churney said she found the conversation uncomfortable as she sensed someone from the teacher’s union might think she was going after teachers. She did not think teachers had the credentials to discuss hormones or non-consensual sexual encounters.
“I know Brian (Latwis) has told us a few times that teachers will be held accountable if they go rogue or they stray,” Churney said. “I’m sorry, in this country, we’ve had too many teachers that have slept with students, and they defi nitely did not go to jail. This to me is grooming.”
Board President Sean O’Brien ventured a guess at the answer, later confi rmed by Jim Barbiere, Director of Curriculum & Instruction. The state has required that school districts include lesson plans that acknowledge people’s disabilities. Someone with sensory disorders might need an audio presentation because they can’t read websites. In short, technology doesn’t equally benefit everybody.
Correction
Richard Quelch also voiced dissatisfaction with changes, although he was not as specific. Both Churney and Quelch abstained on the vote to approve the curriculum even after separation of the Health and Physical Education standards portion was removed.
“The discussion of gender and gender identity,” continued Churney. “If a child who identifies as an animal, what does that mean when we we’re going over body parts and discuss hands. Is that particular child going to be saying, I don’t really have hands, I have Somepaws.”ofthe items Churney found concerning were unrelated to the Health and PE standards that will be integrated into the regular curriculum.
“I was prepared to take it on the chin and say no and I’m still not really sure,” Quelch said. “I’m going to abstain because I’m really not sure if any of this has trickled into the curriculum at all.”
Churney pressed the issue and wanted to know if the question was that some people had accessibility to computers, while others did not. She again called the curriculum vague, and said everyone had access to technology in the district.
As of our meeting, roughly 2,700 students out of an approximate 3,200 K-12 students were opted into the Health curriculum,” shared O’Brien. Even after two parent information nights and several committee meetings it was clear to me that members still were not confident with the information they had and therefore it made sense to send it back to the Education Committee for further review and next steps.”
Latwis reminded the board members that when teachers develop lesson plans, they use their professional judgment and expertise in covering topics. He said the curriculum documents are not intended to be read as a script – and that teachers were notWhenrobots.Churney claimed that some districts have chosen to ignore the standards completely and use their 2017-2018 curriculum, Latwis said he did not think it was possible to speak on behalf of the 607 districts in the“Therestate. have been some districts such as Jackson and Toms River where they allocated certain pieces of the curriculum to be taught at home,” shared Latwis. “… There really hasn’t been a formal response yet whether or not that would qualify for QSAC (Quality Single Accountability Continuum).”Boardmember
Curriculum:
A month later, even less people showed up to express their opinions. Sources say a masked group of individuals who wore shirts identifying themselves as the Proud Boys came to the July informational session. Other people who intended to participate in the meeting allegedly appeared uncomfortable and left to avoid any fights.
The school board’s education committee will take charge of what happens next as far as consideration of the revised curriculum. This could include a third information seminar now that the curriculum has been developed.Thevoteon the Health and Physical Education portion of the curriculum may come again on the agenda at either the end of this month or October.
Churney said she felt the informational sessions were more about collecting data regarding what parents wanted in the curriculum. She felt families still did not understand how the new standards would be addressed in Barnegat.
“Describe the issues of bias and accessibility in the design of existing technologies,” read Churney from a curriculum document. “What bias? What accessibilities?”
Churney gave some examples of things that disturbed her. For instance, she said one part of the curriculum addressed healthy versus unhealthy relationships among friends and family members. Churney wanted to know why the question didn’t extend to students and staff as individuals who might potentially hurt children.
sessions on New Jersey’s Comprehensive Health and Physical Education curriculum changes. The focus was on informing families of the state’s expectations and seeking input from community members. Both meetings turned out essentially the same way. Less than fifty people showed up for the June presentation, with many saying they didn’t want the schools to cover materials regarding gender identification or sexual education.

Letters To The Editor
Rumor has it that the Township may be in negotiations to buy land south of Lacey Rd. in the area of the old rail bed for the purpose of extending Railroad Ave. I don’t think there should be any more road building in either direction, but I’ll confine my comments to the proposed southern extension.Ifurther demand that before any action is taken that this matter be put on a referendum for voter decision.
The American Legion even goes so far as to list the actual bills that they support, like the PACT Act that recently passed which provides health insurance to those who manned toxic burn pits. For us in New Jersey, Senators Booker and Menendez voted yes.
Their requests are all spelled out. Some of them are very sad, like “Eliminate food insecurity in the military.” No one serving our country should have to worry about putting food on their table, yet here we are. There’s even a local organization called Dine On Us that tries to help the folks on the base. This is something that should never happen. The 2023 military budget is proposed to be $773 billion, and part of that includes a raise of 4.6%, so that’s a start. Maybe they should have bought one fewer battleship or something.
sion, though I’ve not seen a proposed plan. It appears the road would parallel Station Dr. (E. Railroad Ave.) heading for the small lake. Will it cross the lake? How? By a bridge or tunnel? How many additional traffic lights may be needed to make the road safely functional? Money for more lights in town could be better spent at other bottlenecks.Lastbut not least, what provision will be made for the geese crossing Parker Ave. by the lake? I drive by there once a week, and several times a year I encounter a carcass.Bottom line, how much money in tax increases do you want to spend for a road extension that will be of limited use to Lacey residents?

I recognize that Rt. 9 is a traffic nightmare, and the State bears some responsibility for that since it has mandated how our Town Center could develop, making Rt. 9 and Lacey Rd. the hub. Development is focused on these two roads, and we have no choice in those matters. It is not our burden to bail out the State by alternative road building for a situation of its own making. Other towns along Rt. 9 are probably facing the same congestion, yet the State refuses to take corrective action.

On a practical note, it appears to me that the most benefit of a road extension would be for transient traffic heading to Waretown and points south. Anyone living in Lacey any length of time knows alternative paths.

They have a lot of ideas, and that last bit about Congress declaring war is probably the most controversial one. The rest are no-brainers. As an outsider, I’m shocked that these things have to be made into bills. But I’m not entirely surprised, given the way we treat our veterans.

Every election season, politicians scramble to come up with a platform to win the most votes. They have high-paid consultants with their fingers on the pulse of the nation. They read polls, have lunch with lobbyists and get donations from people with deep pockets.Butthey shouldn’t do all that. Not when some groups are extremely clear in what they want.
“The tax gap can be a major source of inequity. Today’s tax code contains two sets of rules: one for regular wage and salary workers who report virtually all the income they earn; and another for wealthy taxpayers, who are often able to avoid a large share of the taxes they owe… estimates from academic researchers suggest that more than $160 billion lost annually is from taxes that top 1 percent choose not to pay.”
Biden’s plan to hire 87,000 new IRS agents will help close that gap.
A great deal of the bills are trying to achieve fairness. Some groups get treated better than others (The Coast Guard isn’t paid during government shutdowns). Some ailments are covered but not others.
If you’re a current office holder, or someone who is running for office, give those two websites a thorough read and get yourself educated on the issues that most impact our veterans. We need more politicians who listen to veterans more than deep-pocketed donors.

As bivalent vaccines, these boosters will target both the original COVID-19 strain as well as the BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron subvariants. Omicron is currently causing most U.S. COVID-19 cases and are predicted to circulate this fall and winter as well, according to the FDA.
The new Pfizer bivalent booster is recommended for all individuals ages 12 and older, while the Moderna bivalent booster is recommended for those ages 18 and older. People can get the bivalent booster if it has been at least two months since they have completed their primary vaccination series or two months after they have received the most recent booster dose with any authorized or approved monovalent COVID-19 vaccine.Inits statement, the CDC said in the coming weeks, the agency also expects to recommend updated COVID-19 boosters for other pediatric groups. When data are available and FDA authorizes these other types of COVID-19 boosters, CDC will quickly move to help make them available in the United States, according to the statement.“Ifyouare eligible, there is no bad time to get your COVID-19 booster and I strongly encourage you to receive it,” said CDC Director Rochelle P. Walensky, M.D., M.P.H., in the Currently,statement.nearly 81% of New Jerseyans have completed their primary series, and more than 54% have received a first booster. COVID-19 primary series vaccines continue to be recommended for everyone ages 6 months and older, and COVID-19 boosters are recommended for every eligible individual ages 5 years and older. Going forward, bivalent boosters will be the sole version of COVID-19 boosters available to anyone ages 12 years and older.
Additionally, Booker pushed for the Food and Drug Administration to use its existing legal authority to protect consumers. “Front-of-package labeling - such as warning labels or stoplights that signal to consumers if the food product is too high in salt, added sugar, or saturated fat - can promote more equitable access to nutrition

Colors make a huge difference in how we see the world, but not everyone sees colors the same and some don’t see them at all. Seeing colors depends on the function of the three cones that send color information from our eyes to our brains. When none of the cones are working properly, the result is total color blindness. It is very rare, and to those who live with it, the world is not so much black and white, but a variety of different shades of gray. When one of the cones is not working properly, it either causes blue-yellow color blindness, which is extremely rare, or red-green, which is the most common form of color blindness.

quality throughout the coastal bays of New Jersey (with a focus on the Barnegat and Great Bay region) by increasing producer participation in NRCS conservation programs.“The NJ COASTAL Aquaculture Project presents a rare opportunity to bring together the USDA-NRCS and Federal Farm Bill dollars to support the local aquaculture industry and provide much needed natural resource benefits to the Barnegat and Great Bay region,” Kristin Adams, OCSCD, COASTAL Project Coordinator said. She added, “shellfish aquaculture is a unique form of agriculture that does not require any inputs (such as feed or fertilizer) to grow a high protein and nutrient-dense food source. Simply by growing filter-feeding bivalves (oysters, clams, scallops, etc.) in the bay, the farmers are helping to improve water quality. Adult oysters can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day, which improves water quality thus benefiting the entire estuarine ecosystem, and the local economy which relies heavily onAdamstourism.”said, “Oysters and oyster reefs provide many ecosystem services such as water filtration and aquatic habitat. This grant will allow the district to work collaboratively with our 14 partners including state and local government, academia, non-profit organizations and members of industry to bring a new conservation practice scenario to New Jersey.”

system. Our goal is to improve the habitat to a point where the system may become once again self-sustaining,” Parsons added.
Adams said, “the COASTAL Aquaculture Project will directly support ‘farming for restoration’ and is truly a win-win for local farmers, the economy, and the health of the ecosystem and watershed. The district is poised to spearhead this unique initiative and looks forward to working with our partners and aquaculture producers to further restoration and enhancement efforts in our region.”

“We think it’s really good,” she said. “The waters are so much cleaner. The color of the water is so clear and blue.”
One lifeguard had paddled out on the rescue board to be close to the dolphins – not realizing the whale was there. It breached and she was shaken – but thrilled.It’sagainst the law to willingly swim within 100 yards of a whale. When they’re feeding, it’s a good idea to stay even farther away because they could come up to feed from right below you. They’re gentle giants, but they have been known to accidentally hurt or kill swimmers who have come too close.
This particular whale was feeding on a school of bunker. It was lunge feeding, which can be pretty scary if you’re close to it. They come up from below with their mouths open, gulping up tons of fish at a time.
Whales:
Why Are They Here?
What’s interesting is that she saw this same whale within 24 hours from the whale watching vessel. That time, it was 37 miles away, close to Sandy Hook. That’s how far it traveled in one day. She knew it was the same whale because of its markings. Tail flukes – the underside of the tail – are unique. Her coworker, Danielle Brown, is the lead humpback researcher with Gotham Whale, a nonprofit that has been cataloguing almost 270 humpbacks. They are able to compare these markings to keep track of these fascinating animals. This particular whale has the designation NYC0209.

It’s not unusual for DeVoe to see whales, but it’s still a showstopper. She’s a naturalist on the whale watching boat Miss Belmar. It was actually her day off, and she still got to see this.

People will say to her “I’ve lived here all my life and I didn’t know there were whales here.” Well, there are, and its because the environment is good for them.
Whale sightings are still pretty rare, at least from the beach. So, that begs the question, “What brings them this close?” As it turns out, it’s what brings a lot of people here, too – good food, good schools, and clean beaches.DeVoe said it’s a few factors, and they are all positive.

It’s been well over 2 years, and the Covid 19 variants are still wreaking havoc in our area. For the most part, the new variants just present with “coldlike” symptoms but the rate of infection spread is typically higher than the common cold. Unfortunately, once you start to exhibit symptoms such as a sore throat, headache, sinus pressure, post nasal drip, etc., you already have Covid 19 and more than likely you have spread the germs to others. Many individuals are taking in home rapid tests and are commonly “negative” for a few days before the result is positive.
Today you’ve learned about 4 supplements that support joint health. One of them is free - the vitamin D! If you’d like additional help with your pain, I have a longer article available at my website, as well as additional resources. Please visit suzycohen.com.
The latest studies on osteoarthritis suggest that people who are above their healthy BMI make their pain much worse due to additional pressure on the joints. Also, a diet high in soda, carbs, and sugary foods will exacerbate pain. But there are things you can do. Let’s go through some easy things right now.

4. Vitamin D - Naturally synthesized in the human body after exposure to sunlight. It is a fact that people who have low levels of vitamin D often have joint pain, and/ or osteoporosis. Vitamin D supplements would be an effective adjunctive supplement that you can take if you have chronic joint pain and it is particularly helpful for BOTH autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis, as well as osteoarthritis.

4 Natural Alternatives To Drugs To Relieve Joint Pain Fast
Joints are meant to last a lifetime, and for some people they do! But for others, joints wear out and start to ache. Old injuries can give rise to pain later on in life. Over 50 million people have arthritis today, and conventional medicine’s answer is a pill. It’s usually an NSAID like ibuprofen. This can work temporarily. It’s not right for everyone though, especially those with ulcers, or heart disease.
1. Curcumin - Books have been written on the topic of curcumin and pain relief! It’s a strong anti-inflammatory component of turmeric spice extract. Most people think it is just “curcumin” that works, but recent research proves three different curcuminoids work even better, and you’ll find those in high-quality supplements.
2. MSM - Methylsulfonylmethane provides the body with natural, healing sulfur. This is one component necessary for healthy joints. MSM is sold in health food stores because it is an extremely common ingredient that supports joint health, and it cleans the body up. Sometimes people get scared to take MSM because they don’t
3. Hyaluronic acid - Arthritic joints are deficient in natural hyaluronic acid, so over time, it leads to the cartilage becoming less squishy and pliable. The stiffer a joint is, the more likely there is pain and inflammation. Hyaluronic acid holds moisture like a sponge, it’s a plumper as in Restylane®and Juvederm® which are two popular facial fillers. Hyaluronic acid may be injected into your joint, for example, your knee. It will not cure anything serious, like if you need a knee replacement… but for simpler problems, an injection of this can bring relief for 2 or 3 months. It can be taken orally as well.

Should permanent effects of your injury remain after achieving a medical plateau, you may be entitled to benefits to compensate for those permanent effects. This is based on a statutory value determined according to the part of your body which was injured and the permanent residuals of your treatment and injury.

In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven (7) days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insurance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to seventy percent (70%) of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sustained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner.
a volunteer as listed above one would not have been compensated for the acts performed within the scope of that position, if injured while performing those duties, and medically unable to work, you would be entitled to compensation at the maximum rate for the year of that injury. Furthermore, the injured volunteer is entitled to reasonable and necessary medical treatment as if an employee. In the event that the volunteer suffers permanent residuals from the injury in question, the volunteer would also have the right to seek payment for those residuals, the same as if a paid employee.
In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specifically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act.
Primarily, should your injury require medical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for reasonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau. In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered.

JERSEY SHORE - Bats make up approximately 20% of all mammal species around the globe with over 1200 species. There are three types of bats – insect-eating, fruit-eating, and yes, blood-sucking (known as vampire bats). But fear not, the latter lives in Central and South America. Here in New Jersey, there are 6 year-round species of bats. The ones humans are most likely to encounter are big brown bats and little brown bats. These bats consume half their body weight each night. Since bats are noctur-

During daylight hours bats form colonies and dwell inside their natural habitat of caves, tunnels and hollowed-out trees. Other dwellings might include barns, attics, and basements. Most bats in the U.S. mate in the fall, just before
Recently my dog Andi and I took our usual walk around 9 p.m. I noticed a single bat flying overhead. Spotting the bat was particularly easy since there was cloud cover in the evening sky. We stopped, observed a second and then a third bat. I have seen bats before but it’s always a thrill, especially knowing how beneficial they are for the envi-
ronment. So why not look up at the sky some evening and see how many bats you can spot.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t get involved in a family squabble. You may be itching to take matters into your own hands, but it is better to relax and be patient and stay in your lane. By the end of the week, a tense situation will probably be resolved.

: Rather than reacting quickly, take more time to respond. A relationship may be on rocky ground today, but the path could become smoother as the week unfolds. Loved ones might prove that they are trustworthy and sincere.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Remain focused on reaching your objectives without arguing about them. Be prepared to honor all your commitments in the week ahead. If you take your time, you could earn everyone’s respect and admiration.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be open to love. Your romantic nature may get a glowup in the week to come. You may want to be admired for being an active participant but you should not take on additional duties or make crucial decisions today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You could project your fantasies on others in the upcoming week. You may have a blind spot and only see what you hope to see. Today isn’t a good time to start a new business relationship or make any major decisions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Prepare thoroughly and show up well-rehearsed. In the upcoming week, demonstrate your loyalty and integrity if you want to impress your friends and loved ones. Notice the tiny miracles of everyday life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you love them, you won’t leave them. Business relationships may become tense in the week ahead, but a romantic partnership could become closer. Remain reasonable about your expectations and keep your promises.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do not blow off any obligations, even if you really want to escape routines and satisfy an urge to break out of a late-summer rut. Proceed cautiously -- what seems good now may lose its luster later this week.
Omarr’s
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Good etiquette is essential. Go the extra mile to keep others fully informed now. People who seem impersonal or impatient could get under your skin, but you may need their good will later this week.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Respond based on who you are, not on who they are. As the week unfolds, you may encounter people who test your strength of character; do not give in to temptation. Focus on having a happy and pleasant family life.
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may demonstrate good taste in the week ahead but could also spend money that was put aside for something else. You can’t foresee everything, but you can learn from everything to do it better next time.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): A debate can develop into a drama. Someone might get triggered and seem like a competitor when you merely want to have a conversation. In the coming week, you may need to focus on achieving congenial compromises.
