On September 7, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer announced that John Pelletier, formerly of Barnegat, murdered of Deborah “Debbie” Ann Bloomquist, 30, of Ocean Township (Monmouth County), in 1991.
Investigation began on Bloomquist’s murder and biological evidence was collected and preserved. During that time, the technology did not exist to submit this evidence for DNA testing.

On October 26, 1991, the body of a young woman, who was later identified as Bloomquist, was found in a heavily wooded area in Barnegat. An autopsy uncovered that Bloomquist died from multiple stab wounds and that she was the victim of a sexual assault.

Over 10 years later, the biological evidence collected from the scene led to the development of a male DNA profile.

Hospital personnel wandered out to the event still garbed in scrubs and face masks. The medical center’s appreciation for the community’s support in the last 50 years served equally as a tribute to their collaborative efforts.
Dozens of people lined up to sit for sketch artists to take home caricatures as keepsakes of the day. Children took advantage of numerous shots at amusement games that would otherwise cost their families a fortune to participate. They all seemed pleased with candy rewards once they made their marks.
“After more than three decades, this hideous crime has, at long last, been solved. Though Pelletier never faced justice for his actions in this life, we nevertheless hope hula hoops to get people moving even more.

“While he was in Kuwait and Baghdad, Larry would call me once or twice a week on a satellite phone to talk about home,” Hulse said. “He was traumatized from his time serving during the Iraq war and suffered from PTSD. In struggling with PTSD, Larry also battled addiction and it ultimately took his life on April 9, 2022.
Random drug testing will be used and residents will be required to detox or be removed from the program. Other off-limits behavior includes fighting or bringing home intimate partners.
The program will be able to house six to eight men for up to a year following New Jersey Department of Community Affairs guidelines. Volunteer life coaches and interns from Ocean County College, Social Work Program and Journey Health and Wellness will help them, said Paul Hulse, CEO of Just Believe. A case plan will be given for each individual which will be re-evaluated every 30 days.
The property for the facility was donated to nonprofit organization Just Believe from the Leary family in Little Egg Harbor.
The facility will be named after Hulse’s childhood friend Larry Robertiello. He served two tours in Kuwait and Baghdad during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He served from October of 2001 to July of 2004, reaching the rank of Specialist in the Army and receiving four medals. He worked as a plumber in his civilian life.

“Larry is survived by his 10-year-old son. He received treatment for his addiction from the (Veterans Administration) but struggled with the aftercare. If he had access to a facility such as our new transitional home, he may have lived to see his son grow up. That is why Larry was the inspiration for Just Believe Inc. building Larry’s Home to help veterans and at-risk individuals in honor of him and his service,” he said.
Some might have volunteer or employment opportunities at the Just Believe Boutique. Hulse said all of them will be required to fi nd employment within 60 days of their fi rst day with them.

New Website Details Info On Police Internal A airs Investigations
“We are always looking at this data as a way to improve internal affairs policies, procedures and oversight,” the director said.Among the features of the new dashboard is the ability to filter the data by active and closed investigations, as well as by county, agency, the complaint source, and the race of the officers and the complainants involved. The dashboard will also enable users to do side-by-side comparisons of two agencies, so the viewer can see if there is a significant disparity between the internal affairs complaints of two otherwise similar

TRENTON – Acting Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin made a wealth of information about police agencies’ internal affairs investigations available online, in a searchable dashboard capable of filtering data by law enforcement agency, the types of allegations involved, and what, if any, disciplinary action was taken. It is believed to be the most comprehensive compilation of statewide internal affairs information to be made accessible to the public by any state in the U.S.
Standards (NJSLS), which outline what is taught in New Jersey’s public schools and set the foundation for school districts to craft instruction and curricula, adopted climate change education in 2020. The climate change aspects of the NJSLS are designed to prepare students to understand how and why climate change happens and the impact it has on our local and global communities as well as to act in informed and sustainable ways. These standards will be incorporated across seven content areas:
entities. The names of the officers involved are not listed.
“New Jersey will be on the forefront of the climate movement, and these new standards will give our children the tools necessary to combat the effects of climate change. We are building the world’s next generation of climate literate leaders, including policymakers, historians, teachers, and more, who will discover new ways to address the climate crisis,” said First Lady Tammy Murphy.
The New Jersey Student Learning

Climate change standards have also been added to the appendices of the mathematics and English language arts guidelines, which are up for review this year.
“We take another step toward greater transparency and accountability in law enforcement through the release of our Internal Affairs Dashboard,” said Acting Attorney General Platkin. “The Office of Justice Data aggregated a tremendous amount of information to give New Jerseyans insight into internal affairs cases that no other state provides. Now for the fi rst time in state history, the public will be able to see, all in one location, the allegations and disciplinary action taken in internal affairs cases across New Jersey.”
Tom Eicher, Executive Director of the OPIA, said, “Not many agencies or states release this information. Bringing this data to light will enable the public to look with a broader lens to see if the internal affairs system is working the way it should be.”
TRENTON – In June of 2020 First Lady Tammy Murphy announced that the New Jersey State Board of Education adopted her initiative to make New Jersey the fi rst state in the nation to incorporate climate change education across its K-12 academic standards. And now, as thousands of New Jersey students enter a new school year, the incorporation of climate change education for K-12 schools begins. This first of its kind curriculum will prepare and propel New Jersey students to the top of the ranks for the thousands of green economy jobs that will be made available in the future.
NJ Becomes First State To Integrate Climate Change Education
First Lady Tammy Murphy
“Once again, New Jersey is setting an example for the nation when it comes to preparing students to be informed, engaged citizens because of our diverse and inclusive standards and curriculum,” said NJEA president Sean M. Spiller. “Few issues will have more impact on this generation of students throughout their lives than climate change. What they learn in school starting this year will help prepare them to address this challenging issue now and in the future. We commend First Lady Tammy Murphy for her relentless advocacy on this issue and applaud the Murphy Administration for seeing this through to implementation.”
The Attorney General’s Office of Public Integrity & Accountability (OPIA) believes the dashboard will serve as a tool for both law enforcement and the public, revealing the prevalence of various accusations, where they are surfacing, and how they are being dealt with by the internal affairs review process.
“The New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP) stands fi rmly behind initiatives that promote transparency and build further public confidence in law enforcement,” said NJSACOP President Thomas Dellane, Chief of the Stafford Township Police Department. “New Jersey’s policing community remains the most effective in the United States.

“The New Jersey State Police is committed to transparency and accountability which helps build trust within the communities we serve,” said Colonel Patrick J.

dashboard will further demonstrate how we protect and serve the public each day. We applaud Acting Attorney General Matthew Platkin for his latest program to create more accountability, while helping residents better understand how the internal affairs system works and why it is such an important tool in improving policies and procedures.”

“A key part of public education is to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to be effective participants in shaping the future.

“New Jersey will continue to be a national leader in preparing students to address issues related to climate change in the next decade,” said Dr. Angelica Allen-McMillan, Acting Commissioner of Education. “Our standards provide students with the tools to learn how climate change impacts our society, but how to also work collaboratively with peers and communities to address the issue of climate change.”
“Fostering strong relationships between law enforcement and communities is essential to public safety. Transparency, fairness, and mutual respect are foundational to building that essential trust,” said Governor Phil Murphy. “Our state’s new dashboard testifies to the profound understanding of our law enforcement officers that such trust is forged by meaningful actions that reflect the crucial importance of this profession. Every effort to improve accountability
Eicher said the Attorney General’s Office is committed to reviewing the data to identify any patterns that might raise concerns warranting further investigation.
The numbers now listed on the dashboard show the internal affairs cases active in 2021. The Office of Justice Data will update the statistics on an annual basis as new information is submitted by police agencies around the state. Dashboard refi nements are also being planned for 2022 that will enable a viewer to better understand how specific complaints are adjudicated, including whether an allegation started as one type of offense but was resolved as a lesser infraction.
The Southern Ocean Times, September 17, 2022, Page 7jerseyshoreonline.com
The dashboard, available at njoag.gov/ iapp, represents an unprecedented and ambitious effort by the Attorney General’s Office to gather de-identified internal affairs information that had been scattered among hundreds of agencies - information that had not previously been collected in a uniform way, or shared with the public in a standardized format or central location.

Over- e-Counter (OTCS) Hearing Aids
Dr. Izzy and his Staff are always available to answer your questions about hearing health. His offices are located in Toms River, Manahawkin, and Whiting and can be reached by calling 732-818-3610 (Toms River/ Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) or visit us at www.gardenstatehearing.com.
The final FDA ruling has occurred and a plethora of OTCs will be hitting the market in the near future. Truthfully, these products have existed for many years without any significant regulation. This is a new class of hearing instruments that are more affordable preprogrammed hearing aids designed for milder hearing losses. The “goal” is to make hearing aids more available to the public which in turn will eventually force the 6-major manufacturer’s (Starkey, Oticon, Phonak, Widex, Signia, Resound) of hearing aids to lower their pricing. NEWS FLASH! It is very unlikely that the top 6 hearing aids manufacturer’s will lower their pricing because many of them will also be selling OTCs directly to the public.

The major questions you should be asking yourself is “how does this OTC hearing aid know the degree of hearing loss I have? It doesn’t! These devices are designed for mild to moderate hearing losses but how does it
take into account the “slope” of your hearing loss? It doesn’t! Unless you take the time to have your hearing evaluated by a licensed professional, you don’t even know the degree of hearing loss you have. I saw several patients last week who had a primary complaint of recent hearing loss in one ear. Both of them had impacted wax and once removed, they’re hearing was normal.
The bottom line is you typically get what you paid for. Unless you take the time and have your hearing properly tested by a licensed hearing care professional (audiologists), you are throwing away your money.

I’ll tie in a nice neat bow right now: Sugar increases T Helper-17 (Th17) cells, which then leads to suppressed immunity and more self-driven autoimmune attacks. Sugar ultimately leads to increased rates of obesity, and thus more health problems including heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, asthma, low back pain and arthritis.
Here’s the plan:
3. Supplement your diet - Eating right will help with gut integrity, but sometimes it’s not enough. Therefore, consider nutrients that are known to reduce Th17 overactivity. These include chelated zinc, vitamin D, and folate (only the methylated form, not folic acid).
1. Change your diet - Completely eliminate all sugary foods, all candy, and sweets, and all refined carbohydrates like bagels and white rice. I would greatly minimize complex carbohydrates as well. Things in this category include brown rice, beans, starchy vegetables like peas and wholegrain bread.
2. Improve your lifestyle - Don’t eat too late at night and exercise to your level. Try to avoid stress and get proper sleep. We know that melatonin deficiency is associated with increased autoimmunity, so getting proper rest could make life easier. If you need help with sleep apnea, see a specialist.
Your pain levels are at stake. If you have MS, your nerves are at stake, if you have psoriasis, you can help yourself right now.
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
If your own body is killing itself, you don’t stand a chance. You can modify the self-driven attack with a choice made at every meal. That choice is to avoid foods and beverages that contain sugar or other sweeteners which often produce the same glycemic high in the body.
In a recent study, it was once again shown that high glucose intake (ie lots of sweets) spawns a lot of free radical damage and thus, Th17 overactivity. So you can now develop your own personal strategy to lower Th17, and thus, improve your autoimmune condition. Do these 3 important things and start now, you don’t have to wait.
How Sugar Worsens Autoimmune Diseases And 3 Easy Solutions
If you are not responding to your dietary changes within a few months, or you experience anything untoward, please contact your doctor. Remember, your goal is to reduce your Th17. If you find this topic interesting, please sign up for my free newsletter, and I’ll email you a longer, more detailed version. In that, I will share my thoughts about histamine-containing foods, CBD and kombucha. This is available at suzycohen.com.
We’re seeing more research lately about how spikes in sugar cause your body to attack itself with more vigor. Autoimmune disorders are exacerbated by eating a lot of foods and beverages that are high in sugar. The same goes for both refined and complex carbohydrates. That statement will fly in the face of what many nutritionists believe, but I’m writing an opinion column, and that’s my opinion. I’d keep the refined ones out of your diet, and the complex ones to a minimum!
with the state’s addition of personal growth and development as part of the new standards. The mandate calls for schools to provide correct terminology in identifying body parts and how they work to support wellness. This includes instruction on medically accurate names for“Wegenitals.havealways talked about the body parts that you can see on the outside (head, shoulders, knees, and toes,) Bush said. “Again, if they ask questions about private parts, we’ve told them to talk to mom and dad.”
Physical Education were controversial for the portions that oversee sex ed, a relatively small part of a 66-page document found here: NJSLS-CHPE.pdfnj.gov/education/cccs/2020/2020%20
The district has no intention of following up with parents concerning the at-home instruction or quizzing students on the Secondlessons.grade standards also call for lessons on reproduction and an explanation of the ways parents care for their offspring.“Reproduction is making a copy,” pointed out Bush. “This will be a standalone lesson with the help of a PE teacher in which parents will have a permission slip prior to the date.”
Stafford Schools will not be discussing romantic feelings or masturbation. Parents can access the lesson plans targeted for fifth grade students by the physical education teachers.
Stafford Schools will continue to teach outside body parts, but finds it more appropriate to make it a home assignment as far as private parts. Families will be able to teach their children in the manner they feel is appropriate for the correct identification of body parts.
Although this topic was previously assigned as a sixth grade unit, Stafford Schools has decided to make it a at home assignment so that parents can discuss what they feel is appropriate for their child to learn about human reproduction.
Bush said social media posts resulted in
“If we did not adopt and pass these standards, the district would be in violation,” said Stafford Superintendent George Chidiac. “We could be subject to loss of state funding, which could result in large class sizes, loss of programs, our free preschool program, enrichment programs and cutting staff.
Bush explained the new mandates add two new standards for second grade students. First, schools are expected to include activities related to how children may dress, what their mannerisms are, and things that they like to do. This includes discussing the range of ways people express their gender, and how gender role stereotypes may limit their behavior.“Thestandard in school will continue to be taught as we’ve always done it,” shared Bush. “The student may come in wearing a soccer t-shirt….or say they like baking with grandma.”
“The new standards added to fifth grade include explaining the relationships between sexual intercourse and human reproduction.” Bush said. “They also call for an explanation of the range of ways pregnancy can occur.”
Bush said that a lesson plan at this grade level could include a book about a little animal and a matching game. It could introduce discussions about how a bigger animal cares for a smaller one. The state also has set expectations at
the lessons are not new to Stafford schools and parents have always had the ability to opt their children out of discussions they found inappropriate.
Fifth grade students are expected to learn about social and sexual healthy ways to express orientation and gender in regards to gender role stereotypes. This could include discussions about male students who want to be nurses or female students who want to be doctors.
The new curriculum adapted by the local school district applies to students in grades K-6 and was written by Stafford teachers and administrators. Three local representatives attended meetings with other Ocean County school delegates. Work on changes to the curriculum began in January.
“They followed a county template for the standards,” Bush said. “We then added a Stafford flair to it.”
According to Bush, the actual health lessons pertaining to Stafford schools that apply to sex education, impact second grade, fifth grade, and sixth grade classes.Someof
Parents had the opportunity to opt out of the new curriculum and were assured their children would not be learning anything about critical race theory. Critical race theory does not fall under any state mandates. Nonetheless, some families have expressed concerns that schools intend to include it in their curriculum.Ataspecial meeting late last month, Stephanie Bush, the district’s Director of Curriculum, Instruction & Planning, presented the details of the new curriculum.Bush
Bush explained the state’s reasoning in ensuring students knew correct names was for their safety. Some children went into the nurse’s offices and tried to explain what was hurting them by referring to a nickname used by their family for a private area.

several misconceptions concerning the mandates imposed by the state. Lesson plans shared by New Jersey State Senator Holly Schepisi indicated that they were mandatory but this was false. This misinformation created an uproar among concerned parents.
Sixth grade standards include lessons on the stages of pregnancy from fertilization to birth with parents able to opt out on the class. However, the curriculum requirements from sixth to eighth grade go into more depth.
Lessons:
the older grades as far as what impacts hormones. The district plans to explain and discuss various emotions and feelings that emerge from puberty.
According to the Superintendent, the first focus was on teaching students things on an age appropriate level. Chiadic used math as an example, saying that second graders are taught basic math rather than algebra.
State mandates also requires schools to integrate the political, economic and (Lessons - See Page 20)
“What is in our control as a district is to control the resources and how we teach them,” Chidiac continued.
“She used to always say if we can pass the red face test with the state,” shared Bush. “We’re going to be okay.”
“We will continue to focus on acceptance and respect for everybody,” emphasized Bush.
Stafford administrators feel that both statements would meet the state’s criteria regarding gender expression and stereotypes.Take-home assignments come into play
first shared an important lesson she recalled learning from Stafford Township School District’s retired personnel director, Barbara D’Apuzzo.
“We will not address any of the standards related to gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation,” Bush said. “We did not even put them in our curriculum document because again, passing the red face test, they have to meet the standard by eighth grade.”

Once an Executor of an Estate is appointed and the Will is challenged, the Executor may use Estate assets to defend the challenge as long as the contesting party challenges the Will’s validity, interpretation, distribution, or a specific clause. The estate assets may be used to hire an attorney to defend the challenge of the Will. Legal fees incurred in defending the challenged Will, its contents, clauses, or distribution are not be the personal responsibility of the Executor. Instead, under such circumstances, the legal fees are payable from the Estate. However, when an Executor has to defend claims against non-probate assets, then the circumstances change and certain limitations apply.
If a party to a Will challenges the transfer of a non-probate asset, an Executor may be forbidden from utilizing Estate assets to defend against such a claim. When a transfer of non-probate assets benefits the Executor of the Estate to the exclusion of other beneficiaries, then the Executor will not be allowed to use the Estates assets to pay legal fees in defense of such a dispute. Should an Executor use the assets of the Estate to make such payments, then these assets may be payable back to the Estate by the Executor.

The death of a loved one is a tragic event. Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved one’s passing, disputes often arise as to the decedents Last Will and Testament. If such a dispute arises, it is important to understand how legal fees could impact the assets of the Estate.
Probate assets consist of any asset that is owned solely by the decedent and are distributed to heirs by the court. Probate assets may include real property that is titled solely in the decedent’s name or held as a tenant in common; Personal property, such as jewelry, furniture, and automobiles; bank accounts that are solely in the decedent’s name; an interest in a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company; any life insurance policy or brokerage account that lists either the decedent or the estate as the beneficiary.
A non-probate asset is as an asset which does not “pass” through the decedent’s Estate,
and bypasses the court process by transferring directly to the beneficiaries. Non-probate assets include property that is held in joint tenancy or as tenants by the entirety; bank or brokerage accounts held in joint tenancy or with payable on death (POD) or transfer on death (TOD) beneficiaries; property held in a trust; life insurance or brokerage accounts that list someone other than the decedent as the beneficiary; retirement accounts.
Rights And Restrictions For An Executor To Use Estate Assets To Pay Counsel Fee
The big focus will also be on remembering that the law also includes those with disabilities. Stafford Schools plans to highlight these contributions.
“We have not and will not implement anything,” stressed Bush. “(Critical race theory) is actually an academic concept at the college level.”
“What we are teaching is anti-bullying, sharing acts of kindness, Holocaust education, and listening to others,” Bush summarized.AsfarasBush is concerned, the curriculum adapted by Stafford Schools passes the “red face” test. Districts throughout the state have taken on their own approach, with some even reserving the controversial lessons for the last day of school.

In Defense Of e Canada Goose
The information for this article from was gathered through multiple sources so statistics may vary slightly. To reach me please call 732-244-2768.
Ok so here’s a subject that seems to ruffle one’s feathers – assuming humans ‘had’ feathers. Let me start by agreeing that the Canada goose does create a lot of waste. Imagine a diet of mostly plant matter, grasses, some seeds and berries, even some insects on occasion. A goose can consume up to about 4 pounds of grass a day. That’s right, a day! With that kind of diet, one would have to realize what goes into the body must leave from the body. While it is not recommended to hand-feed, people will sometimes provide grains and other foods. They prefer lawn grass found in open urban areas. Open areas provide them the ability to not only spot predators, but also open space allows them easier access for flying. Where there is water, expect waterfowl. Due to the 4-6 - foot wingspan and size of the Canada goose, they typically will vocalize to their group that it’s time for take-off. That take-off means a running start of several feet.
AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE
who provide for and feed their young, waterfowl young become quickly adept at learning the skills to survive. Both parents, especially the male, will vigorously defend the goslings until approximately 10 weeks of age when they can fly. Young geese will stay with their family group for about one year. The Canada goose mates for life. Should they lose a mate, they typically fi nd another within the same breeding season. So, getting back to goose waste, contrary to what you may think, there is some good news about their droppings. They contain large amounts of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous when dried. This is good quality fertilizer for your vegetable garden(s). Maybe think about collecting that waste and incorporating it into your garden. Understanding a bit more about the Canada goose, the next time you encounter them visiting your neighborhood, remember, they’re just like us, trying their best to survive.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Remain optimistic and don’t sweat the small things. Your bills may seem larger and more troublesome than they really are. You should be able to make a helpful change later this week that solves a liability or financial problem.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your temper may have a short shelf life. Don’t let irritations or an urgent compulsion to fight trigger action. If you slam the door on someone, it might lock and you might not be able to get back in their good graces.
