Celebration Honors WWII Vet’s 100th Birthday

Candidate Says Questions On Abortion Inappropriate

By Bob Vosseller PLUMSTED

– When interviews for a new member of the Township Committee were being done, one candidate said her morals and medical history were questioned because she had a life-saving abortion.

Resident Kate Tallon spoke during the public portion of a recent Township Committee meeting about what happened to her. She was a candidate being screened to replace Committeeman Thomas Calabrese, who resigned prior to the meeting.

the interview after questions about abortion were posed “because I stumbled for words as I couldn’t understand why that had been brought up. I don’t think it was very fair to insult me like that and to continue to ask me questions and think I would be able to find the right words.”

JACKSON

– “They

bled for liberty, selflessly serving their country. They are true patriots whose bound-

less heroism has kept us free!” That was the motto of Wally Jamison. He also lived those words.

“He wrote that,” his

wife Marge Jamison said as the quote was referenced in one of two speeches. She sat beside Wally and members of her family

listening to speakers during a ceremony that preceded his 100th birthday party held inside the Jackson VFW (Vet - See Page 4)

During her public comment, Tallon said, “I asked seven of the nine candidates who came if their interviews included questions on abortion. None of them had. Not even the other two women who stayed to hear the voting (Candidate - See Page 5)

Progress Made On Forming Open Space Committee

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Township officials

got an update to the proposed Open Space Advisory Committee that was introduced but was not approved earlier in the year.

There was debate over who got to choose members of the committee – the mayor or the council? There’s a political divide between two Republican

groups that is spilling over into appointing members to do jobs in town.

Township Council members voiced concerns that it needed more input on the selection process of the citizens group.

Councilman Nino Borrelli said during a recent Council meeting that he and members of the council have

Post 4703.

Jamison was part of the mainland landing at Omaha Beach France and on November 29, 1944 he was wounded in combat and later when he was transported to a field hospital the plane he was riding in hit a fuel tank in the roadway causing the wing of the aircraft to be ripped off.

Hundreds of people came out to cheer on the World War II veteran. The community wanted to make sure he had a memorable centennial birthday and that mission was clearly accomplished.

He had a special day named after him, a parade and one heck of a party with friends and family at the VFW hall.

Wally Day kicked off with a parade that served to honor the longtime Jackson resident who was wounded during his service in World War II.

His son Steven watched the vehicle count grow and shared with The Jackson Times, a bit of unknown knowledge about his popular dad.

“There are too many stories to tell. We’ve lived in Jackson all our life. It was very rural when we were kids. Everybody was somebody’s relative. Before we were born he worked for moonshiners. When he was a young kid he was a look out. They had a chair out by the road and they ran a doorbell from the road back to where the still was. They told him, you sit there and if you see the state police coming or the game warden,

you ring that bell and you run like hell,” Steven Jamison said.

“So that’s what he did. He lived in Cassville and he would walk through the woods from Cassville almost to Ridgeway Liquors and pick teaberries in the woods. He would sell them to the moonshiners and they would put that in their moonshine to give it a little taste. I think he got 25 cents or 50 cents and that was quite a bit of money at that time,” his son added.

His son added that Jamison was a member of the Seven Buck Gun Club. “The gun club when we were young was big part of your life here. He belonged to the gun club for a long time. It wasn’t like sporting it was a way to put food on the table actually.”

“He worked for the Ocean County Road Department for 45 years,” Steven Jamison said.

As for Wally’s children, “he has the four of us and a stepdaughter. Most of us and some cousins are here today,” he added. Jamison has 11 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren and three great, great grandchildren

Wally just chuckled when asked about his secret of longevity. His wife remarked, “he doesn’t always talk. If you needed a husband, you would want one like Wally. We’ve never had a fight and we’ve been married for 40 years.”

She added, “he is a wonderful, wonderful man and it isn’t just me or members of his family saying it, it is everybody who has worked with him or knows him.”

“He was also in the movies. They did a movie honoring his great grandfather Eli-

son Jamison. Elison went into the service in the New Jersey 14th Volunteers and was 43 years old when he went into the service. He lost two of his sons in the war and he is buried in Cassville. We got to be extras in the filming,” she added They met at work. “We were part of the office on aging and he started in 1977 and he became our boss in ‘78. He was one of those people who could make anything happen. He got all his fellow veterans to give us their charter so they could apply for vehicles from the federal government through the state to get veterans free of charge to utilize the facilities and that was back in ‘78,” she said.

Jamison’s son Mark said of his dad, “when I went to college in the early ‘70s, I came home for a couple of summers but I really haven’t lived here so I’ve lived vicariously through everyone who is here. We used to go hunting and we had a property that had a couple of cranberry bogs and we fished over there. We did a lot of outdoor activities.”

“He founded the VFW and the Cassville Fire Company,” Marge Jamison added. “He is also a charter member of the Ocean County Purple Hearts and the State Purple Hearts.”

Police Chief Matthew Kunz said “the PBA did a great job putting this together and one of our officers, Matt Jamison is Wally’s great nephew. My wife has a long relationship with the Jamisons from their work and history with the township.”

The parade consisted of various police/fire/ emergency vehicles, motorcycles, military vehicles and classic cars. Wally was able

to see a matching contingent of the parade including police and veteran honor guards, pipe bands, high school bands and others who were present to cheer him on.

Along the parade route on Bennetts Mills Road, were Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts who lined up the roadway as well as fire trucks displaying American flags. The parade concluded around noon at the 54 Magnolia Drive headquarters of the Jackson VFW Post.

That is when the party started. It featured food, beverages, music by a live band, and a ceremony.

Mike Basso, who was one of the key coordinators of the event, told The Jackson Times, “This event is a joint effort being coordinated by Jackson PBA 168 and Jackson VFW Post 4703. Wally is a national treasure and true American hero who deserves the best 100th birthday party possible.”

“With such an impressive resume, I’m surprised Hollywood hasn’t made a movie about him yet,” Basso added.

Outside the VFW with a large American flag flying in the wind hoisted from a Cassville fire truck was a large crowd waiting for Wally and his family. Jackson Police Officer Michael DeBlasi served as master of ceremonies introducing several speakers at the outside bandstand podium, Mayor Michael Reina, 12th District Senator Samuel Thompson, Colonel Mitch Wisniewski, Command Sgt. Major Jimmy Vanzlike, Brigadier General Thomas Evans and the commander of the VFW Post, TJ Crennan. DeBlasi said Jamison served (Vet - See Page 12)

results. I asked if any of them had social media posts waiting to be used as ammunition against them. No one else had that experience either.”

Plumsted’s form of government is partisan and members of each voting district are represented by County Committee members. Pastor John Burlaga is the Republican Committeeman of District 3. He said there were six voting districts in the township and this was his first time to be involved in a screening process.

“Pastor Burlaga had pulled out his cell phone to show a Facebook post I made about my medical required D and C also known as an abortion, to save my life. Without that procedure there is a high probability that I would not have the two beautiful sons I have today. That was a lifesaving procedure that caused no deaths and required no intervention from the government but these two pastors (Pastor/Committeeman Dominick Cuozzo and Burlaga) used it to assault me so I could not respond further to questions,” she said. “Bringing up my loss and having to watch Pastor Cuozzo and his wife (Nicole Cuozzo) snickering and giggling at me as I fumbled for the words to say. I now see I am not a good fit for the version of the Republican party that you have,” she added. She said she had hoped to serve on the Plumsted Township Committee to bring her experience in the area of environmental matters to the governing body. Tallon said she currently serves on the municipal environmental committee. A number of people sat on the right side of the seating area in the municipal meeting room who were in support of Tallon during the session. Dr.

Norma Bowe, a university teacher, was among them. She said Tallon has been a guest lecturer on environmental activism. “What happened to her this week is an abomination. She was interviewed for a municipal seat and they asked her about private, protected, medical information.”

Bowe said during the public comment period, “what you have done as part of the selection process, may be illegal if that comment was made during an interview. This has gone all the way to the state level. We have already consulted attorneys about what is happening in this town. Someone’s private medical information is protected in this country.”

“I think there is a misunderstanding. The Republican platform does support pro-life for the

most part and that is what we are replacing here is a Republican seat name so that was what was important to people’s views on pro-life,” resident Barbara Diblin said. The Township Committee is all Republican.

Setting The Record Straight

Committeeman Cuozzo asked several times during the meeting for Mayor Robert Bowen and Committeeman Leonard Grilletto to state what they observed during the screening process and the specifics of the questions posed to Tallon. “I want you to weigh in on what happened during the Committee selection. Please tell them what happened, please.”

“If you would like me to do so I will do so but

I will wait until after public comment,” Bowen replied.

Cuozzo argued the public comments to come “would be based on a misunderstanding and you know that. I don’t want to sit here and listen to people talking about me and things that did not happen. I would like for you to correct the record. Lenny would you correct the record?”

After repeated requests by Cuozzo and the mayor repeating his plan to speak after the public comment period, acting Township Attorney Jean L. Cipriani said it was the purview of the chair of the meeting, Mayor Bowen, to speak when he wanted to.

“This is unreasonable,” Cuozzo said. “Mayor, (Candidate - See Page 18)

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY

Close The Curtain On AMC Seating Price Policy

Sometimes you just have to scratch your head and wonder how the folks who come up with marketing plans dream up the policies that they implement.

Case in point, the recently announced plan by AMC Theaters to price movie tickets based on where you sit.

Remember, this is coming at a time when theater owners are begging people to come back to their theaters, buy their expensive popcorn, candy and soft drinks and skip staying at home and watching films that come out fairly soon, on streaming services.

I’m one of those people who loves seeing films (most but not all) in movie theaters. I loved being at the now closed AMC at the Seacourt Pavilion in Toms River during the pandemic when theaters were just starting to reopen.

One cold Friday night I was watching Milla Jo-

Guidelines For Prescribing Opioids Will Save Lives

I am encouraged that the new CDC guidelines recommend medical practitioners have a conversation with patients to warn about the risks of

vovich blowing up monsters with grenades in the film “Monster Hunter.” I was the only person in that theater and at the time, I still kept my mask on inside but it was a film that was big screen worthy in my opinion.

I can recite the entire narration of actress Nicole Kidman’s walk from a rainy night into a darkened theater as she talks about how “heart break feels good here” and how “the magic is powerful here.”

I swear it gets my heart going because I believe she’s right, seeing movies in theaters does have a bit of spectacle and magic but AMC is killing that magic with this bonehead move.

AMC Theaters, the nation’s largest movie theater chain announced plans to change the way that it prices tickets. The new initiative called “Sightline at AMC” will eliminate the one-price-fitsall approach to selling tickets and under this new model will divide up an auditori-

um’s seats into “standard sightline” “value sightline” and “preferred sightline” tiers.

The standard seats which the movie chain identifies as the most “common” will be available for the normal price of the ticket which these days average to about $12 although senior prices and matinee/first screening prices vary. Value seating is in the front row and will be sold at a lower price than normal. Those are the ones you might get a neck cramp from but at least you still have the comfy chair to lounge around in.

Now we come to those coveted medium row seats, the preferred sightline upcharge which AMC describes as a slight premium price. A seating map will show the price differences when customers are purchasing their tickets. Wow, I have enough of a problem just figuring out where my seat is.

AMC Chief Marketing Offi-

cer Eliot Hamlisch described this move as bringing movie theaters in line with other entertainment venues where ticket prices range in price depending where you sit. Hey Eliot, those venues feature live shows, sporting events and concerts - not films.

Sightline pricing thankfully won’t apply to matinee showtimes before 4 p.m. and those customers who pay for AMC Stubs A-List memberships will be exempt from all this nonsense.

This is a time when theater owners should perhaps consider adding some extras to get folks inside their establishments, like bringing back short features (even cartoons) that we can’t get elsewhere. By all means keep Maria Menounos’s movie trivia quizzes (by the way did she always have that weird laugh during those segments?) and how about some special value movie nights?

Letters To The Editor

How about a live guest introduction to some of those classic films that run during the month even if it is by a member of the staff? Make going to a theater a truly fun experience.

I understand that everything is going up. Heck, when my wife sent me a honey-do message to pick up a carton of eggs on my way home from work the other day, I messaged her back and asked if I should make the purchase through our savings account or to cash a bond.

I greatly sympathize with those in the movie theater business who have experienced a major hit during the pandemic and are not yet back to where they once were.

This move, however, is not what the industry needs. I still have many friends who were devoted movie goers and who are now quite comfortable waiting to see a film when it hits the small

screen through a streaming service or even later when it comes out to the library system. At most they’ll only venture out for an Avatar, Star Wars, Marvel or DC big screen extravaganza.

Now you will be competing for cheaper seats, navigating your online purchases of seats and giving us the same product including overpriced candy, popcorn and beverages. AMC, I think you are doing a disservice to your audience and ticking off those loyal theater goers who remember the magic that Nicole Kidman is talking about.

There isn’t enough free refill soda and buttered popcorn available to make this move (that will hit NJ AMC theaters by the end of the year) easy to swallow.

Hospital’s Indignity To Seniors

As a lifetime citizen of Dover Township/Toms River I have a comment on our local hospital. Ever since the early days of our local hospital we have watched it develop and grow on a footprint facing Route 37 E. The growth changed it from an open to all hospital to a more directed baby delivery and senior facility. Everyone could arrive and be treated

but service over the years were perceived to change for the worst. In these days we see smaller staff, nurse shortages, doctors dedicated to the facility instead of having your own physician come to treat patients.

Now we have something that is very dramatic happening. Not sure if it’s an economical or treatment change however adult diapers are not found in this facility. Now this sounds like a minor change, with absorbing sheets placed under the patient which has not been thought out to the degree it should have. Providing a wee puppy training pad for seniors who have bladder problems, and the other category of human waste is a horrible choice. There is no pad which will absorb fecal matter and/

or allow a senior to have some semblance of pride or eliminate personal humiliation.

Seems like a small topic but when you consider this results in numerous situations where seniors lay in waste for an extended period of time while two nurses or assistants have to change an entire bed’s dressings because of this change. The puppy pad for seniors is not cheaper, they still are made of the same materials, but are far more disruptive to floor nursing and services and sure do make a senior in Community Hospital absolutely humiliated. Maybe someone should think of the pride and personal cleanliness before whatever made this change!

Capitol Comments

Assemblyman Alex Sauickie

It wasn’t long ago that I wrote in these pages about a suggestion that the federal government would ban gas stoves. That suggestion was followed by public backlash, and then a statement by the Biden administration that it would not pursue such a ban.

Faithful readers of this column will recall that I also discussed Gov. Murphy’s Energy Master Plan, which many say will phase out the use of natural gas in New Jersey. It sure looks that way, although there is some wiggle room in the fine print.

Forced electrification of homes and businesses will make energy more expensive, require tens of thousands of dollars in conversion costs for each home and building, and strain our electrical grid far beyond what it can handle. Remember during the very cold weather around last Christmas the notice from power companies asking residents to conserve power due to the strain on the system from electric home heating? Without a substantial and expensive upgrade to the grid, we’ll have more power outages and brownouts than California does.

Because of the Biden administration’s statement and the extreme consequences of a hasty, ill-planned conversion to all-electric power, one might conclude that it just won’t happen in New Jersey. In fact, as I write this, the Philadelphia Inquirer has issued a report on Gov. Murphy’s latest energy proposals that quotes him as saying, “No one is coming for anyone’s gas stove. No one is walking into anyone’s kitchen. No one is going to be forced to do anything, in any way.”

Gas Appliances: The Saga Continues

Why did the governor feel the need to say that? Perhaps because of questions surrounding his “goals” of requiring residents to subsist on 100% “clean” energy by 2035, less than 12 years from now.

His plan includes converting hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses from natural gas to electric heating and cooling systems. Now, he’s made his plan even more aggressive and expensive by mandating that all new cars and light-duty trucks sold in New Jersey to be zero-emission by 2035.

But while he’s telling you not to worry about keeping your gas stove, he’s telling the energy-regulating Board of Public Utilities to “consider” tougher building electrification targets, pressuring gas companies to “minimize investment in new infrastructure,” and even converting gas pipelines to provide decarbonized heating and cooling. That sure sounds like gas companies supplying a lot less gas.

In fact, Murphy’s latest order refers to a “shrinking customer base” for gas companies. So it may be true that nobody’s coming for your gas stove, but somebody is coming for your gas supply. What you do with your obsolete gas stove, clothes dryer and water heater will be up to you. Maybe you’ll have to call that company that says in their ads that they’ll take whatever “junk” you point at.

Government officials in New York City and Los Angeles have disposed of pretense and enacted outright bans on gas energy in new construction. San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle also have varying restrictions on the use of natural gas. The idea that this can’t happen in New Jersey unfortunately ignores what’s already happening in places governed by people with an

ideological distaste for low-emission energy sources just because they fall under the label of “fossil fuel.”

In case you’re skeptical of these expensive, anti-consumer policies but willing to go along in the spirit of fighting carbon emissions, please keep in mind that over the past five years, China has commissioned 226 domestic coal-powered plants and 96 coal plants in other countries, according to USA

Today. And China accounts for only half of global coal plant growth.

The result of these policies is not reduced overall carbon emissions. It’s tens of thousands of dollars out of your pocket without anything to show for it except more blackouts and brownouts.

Volunteers Have Cats Available For Adoption

JACKSON – Calling All Cats is a cat rescue group made up of volunteers, some of whom work at a spay and neuter clinic. People would drop off unwanted cats. As a group, they save the babies that are left alone, the countless mothers that have had numerous litters and those that are losing or have lost their home.

Meet Dumpling aka Snowball. She was adopted from Calling All Cats in 2020 as a kitten and returned because her owner was moving and sadly, she couldn’t go with. Needless to say, this poor girl is sad and confused over losing her home and her family. She did live with other cats and got along great

with them and also did live with kids. Her prior owner did say she can be shy at first until she gets to know you. This sweet girl needs a forever home.

To help humanely lower the feline population, they spay and neuter feral cats and then find homes for the friendly adults and the offspring that have been born. The rescue works extremely hard to find the best homes for cats of all shapes, sizes, colors and ages. While these cats wait, they are cared for in safe, loving, and nurturing foster homes

Liberty Basketball Hosts Challenger League

JACKSON - The Jackson Liberty Boys Basketball Team recently hosted the Challenger League for a workout and scrimmage on their campus.

It was a morning filled with smiles and laughs along with a lot of good basketball. After participating in a number of fundamental drills, those in attendance got to play real time basketball. The Challenger League members were assisted by a number of current high school students and Liberty players both past and present.

The Challenger League is designed to offer a socialization opportunity through athletic participation between disabled students with their non-disabled peers. The program is to help those involved, to build the roles of being on a team, sportsmanship and fair play while playing basketball. The Liberty Boys Basketball Team

was honored to be a part of such a great morning. Channing Williams, who graduated from Liberty last year and is currently playing at Ocean County College summed up the experience quite well: “Coach Connor has always emphasized the importance of helping out the community as much as possible. He really tries to teach us about life, not only basketball. This morning was extremely fun for all of us.”

Coach Don Connor is a lifelong resident of Jackson, who teaches history at Liberty and has been the head coach for the past three years. He hopes for this not only to be an annual event but conducted several times a season. He said “Challenger League is an unbelievable organization that offers opportunity to those who ultimately may not get the chance to participate in daily activities.”

PSEG Partners With Zilinski Memorial Fund To Help Troops

JACKSON –Two cars full of supplies, care items, and goodies pulled up to the Zilinski home in Jackson. This was the last batch of items collected by PSEG employees to send to deployed American troops through a partnership with the Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II Memorial Fund. The Zilinski Memorial Fund will now work hard to properly box the items according to military protocol and ship them out to troops across the globe, including Africa, Iraq, Germany, Poland, and other undisclosed locations.

Jenna Rossi, the Community Outreach Lead for PSEG Veterans and Cx Improvements Lead for PSEG, is her company’s organizer for the holiday collection campaign. She helped drop off the items along with Shakira Maze, Distribution Business Team Leader at

PSEG, and Senior Airman with the U.S. Airforce.

“PSEG Vets – a group of employees at PSEG – work hard to support veterans, their families, and our deployed troops to give back. I am so proud to be a part of this. Being a patriot supporting those who protect our freedom, acknowledging their sacrifice, it is a small part that I can do,” said Rossi.

“There was nothing small about this PSEG holiday campaign to bring cheer to our troops. This holiday season alone, the Zilinski Memorial Fund has been able to ship out more than 100 large boxes of goodies, supplies, and care items to our deployed men and women thanks to the generosity of PSEG colleagues. It has been an absolute blessing, and throughout the fall

and winter we have been regularly receiving items from them to ship out. As a Gold Star Mother, I truly wish I could hug each one of the PSEG employees who donated,” said Marion Zilinski, Co-Founder and Board Member of the Zilinski Memorial Fund.

Rossi took the reins two years ago from Cindy Malmo, Sr. Administrative Associate at PSEG in Newark, New Jersey, who recently retired. Malmo is also a Gold Star Mother. Her son, Staff Sgt. Michael Hullender of Little Falls, New Jersey, an Army medic, was killed at the age of 29 in 2007 in Iraq after an improvised explosive device detonated near his unit as he prepared wounded soldiers for medical transport. Hullender was a decorated soldier who was among those who parachuted into Afghanistan soon after the September 11th attack. He was awarded a Bronze Star and also earned numerous medals and recognitions including the National Defense Service Medal, The Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, and the Iraq Campaign Medal.

Gold Mother to Gold Mother - Malmo turned to Marion Zilinski in 2020 for help through the Zilinski Memorial Fund to get goodies like protein bars, deodorant, coffee K-cups, beef jerky, canned soups, and Gatorade drink packets to our deployed troops. Due to Covid, the donations all had to be online. So, an Amazon Wish List was set up and employees simply clicked on the items they wanted to purchase, which also included trail mix, apple sauce, chips, cereals, paper plates, plastic cutlery, rice, pasta, candy, tea bags, and cookies. Then, the items were shipped directly to the Zilinski Memorial Fund at 76 Crooked Stick

Road, Jackson, NJ 08527. Monetary donations were also accepted directly at runwithdennis.org to assist with postage. The Zilinski Memorial Fund also gratefully accepts these donations from the public year-round.

The Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II Memorial Fund was created and founded in 2006 to honor Lt. Dennis Zilinski who was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2005. The twenty-three-year-old was a Middletown, New Jersey resident, a Christian Brothers Academy alumnus, and a distinguished West Point graduate. Dennis was a member of the 187th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division. Since his untimely death, family and friends have united with the Memorial Fund to provide support to improve the morale and welfare of members of the United States Armed Forces and their families.

“We are so grateful for the support of PSEG employees. They sure have kept us busy packing up items and spending time at the Post Office, but it is time well spent and it warms our hearts! We know our service members are so thankful for these acts of kindness. Think about it for a moment... these moms, dads, sons, and daughters are away from their loved ones during the holidays, and it’s rough. Receiving these boxes gives them comfort knowing that back home people are thinking of them and want to cheer them up over the holidays and in the New Year,” said Dennis Zilinski, Dennis’ father and Co-Founder and Board Member of the Zilinski Memorial Fund.

Some of the troops who received the care packages also joined the Zilinski Memorial Fund’s World Tour Run, which coincided with our Run with Dennis 5K Walk/Run in November 2022 at PNC Arts Center in Holmdel, in honor of our Dennis to share their gratitude.

his community for two years as director of the Jackson Police Department, served time on the Jackson School Board and he received honors as well from the French government as part of the United States role in liberating France.

“It was a great honor to be able to speak about such a legendary man. The Ocean County Board of Commissioners provided a plaque in honor of Jamison’s birthday and thanking him for his time in the service,” DeBlasi said.

“As mayor it is not only a pleasure but an honor to be here for a great man and I want to thank you all for coming out in celebrating a great man. Wally, all these people are here and all we can say is thank you very much and congratulations,” Mayor Michael Reina said.

Sen. Thompson reviewed Jamison’s many accomplishments. “I have a joint legislative resolution from the State Senate and General Assembly. We are pleased to honor and salute Wally Jamison on the occasion of his 100th birthday on Feb. 22, 2023.”

“He served with honor and valor during World War II as part of the United States Army landing with his platoon on Omaha Beach in 1944 and courageously fighting throughout France. He sustained an injury during the Battle of Metz. Upon returning home he enjoyed an exemplary career with the Ocean County Road Department.”

The Senator noted in the resolution that Jami-

son had been honored by the Cassville Fire Company in 1962 for the rescue of two children and an unconscious police officer, trapped in a burning house. “A year later he once again demonstrated remarkable courage coming to the aid of a good Samaritan overcome by panic and hyperventilation during a large forest fire.”

Brig. Gen. Evans said, “you are a true iron man, an iron man for life. Many times over, you are a true hero.”

The band Kickin Wing started performing at the Post following the ceremony. Jackson VFW member Brandi Jarmolowich coordinated the after party. She was also the coordinator of his Aug. 24, 2014 dedication of Magnolia Drive. That event involved the co-naming of that road after Jamison. He was there with his wife and his granddaughter Christine Albino.

“There is a lot to say when it comes to Wally. He lights up a room when he enters it. He is a very special man. Any time spent with Wally is special but the times that he sits with us and tell us exactly what he has gone through in the war, really sticks out,” Jarmolowich said. “Wally tells the stories so vividly it sends chills done your body. To have gone through what he has and still be able to give yet even more of himself to everyone is beyond amazing.”\

“Wally has always been so involved with our community. I feel like there is nothing he hasn’t done or helped with,” she added. She said his family has lived in Jackson since the 1700s.

How Colds, The Flu & Covid 19 Affects Hearing

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 “cold-like” 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.

In my opinion, this is reason enough to frequently wash your hands, don a mask (when in large in group events), and get vaccinated. Unless you physician recommends otherwise, vaccinated individuals typically experience a significant reduction of Covid 19 symptoms and the recovery time is generally less.

Upper respiratory viruses often create fluid buildup in the middle ear, leading to congestion, pain, muffled sound, and secondary infections. The flu virus has been known to affect the auditory nerve,

which can cause permanent hearing loss. Similar to the flu, COVID-19 has shown an alarming ability to attack the hearing and vestibular systems, although the exact reason is still under investigation.

Patients with long-haul COVID are at increased risk. Luckily, serious hearing damage from viral infections is rare, though the temporary effects are uncomfortable — stuffiness, dizziness, tinnitus, and ear infections could put a damper on your future holiday plans.

If you have experienced hearing loss, tinnitus, or vertigo during a bout of COVID 19 and these symptoms are continuing to “linger” I would contact your hearing healthcare professional for a complete hearing and dizziness evaluation. Protect your hearing by supporting your health!

Why You Should Think Twice Before Buying B Complex Vitamins

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

I was inspired to write this blog because I took a capsule of my Mito B complex today and sat down with hot tea. About 15 minutes after that walked into my hot yoga class, where I quickly developed a heat flush! I’m talking about a hot flush from the niacin. I did it to myself without thinking twice about the timing of a hot drink and a hot gym! Just FYI, the niacin flush is a pretty unusual occurrence with dietary supplements, but it can happen if you’re sensitive to niacin, or if you take it and then go into a room that is 102 degrees and do headstands, lol! I have some tips on how to avoid a niacin flush. If you go to suzycohen.com and sign up to receive my newsletter, I’ll email you the longer version of this article. Anyway, it got me thinking about an article on B Complex vitamins. Some brands are better than others. If you don’t shop with me, you should read the rest of this article.

B Complex refers to a family of nutrients, it’s not just one nutrient. Most people take it for one of these 4 reasons:

1. Energy production: You will be tired if you are depleted in B vitamins. The B complex vitamins convert your food into energy, making ATP out of what you eat. This gives you zest and energy.

2. Brain function: All of the B complex nutrients are important for maintaining brain function, memory, and the ability to learn. They help make neurotransmitters.

3. Cell health: B complex vitamins are necessary for maintaining healthy cells, specifically our DNA synthesis and repair,

which is essential for cell division and growth.

4. Nerve Sheath Health: B complex vitamins protect the myelin sheath and help with neuron regeneration. This could help neuropathy.

Most people take B vitamins for the reasons above, however, B vitamins also help men and women with estrogen metabolism. Specifically, the B vitamins help increase the formation of 2-hydroxyestrone (designated as 2-OH-E1 on your DUTCH test if you’ve ever taken that).

The 2-OH-E1 is a protective type of estrogen metabolite and again, B vitamins can help you create more of that.

Not all B Complex Vitamins are the same. Most of the supplements contain inactive precursor ingredients that your body has to activate before it even works. For example, pyridoxine is on the label of most B Complex supplements, but that isn’t active. You have to turn that into another compound “P5P” short for pyridoxal 5’ phosphate. Think of cyanocobalamin, it’s okay but methylcobalamin is methylated. That means it gets absorbed better.

Methylated B vitamins are beneficial for people who have a high demand for B vitamins, such as pregnant women, athletes, and regular people with certain health conditions like high homocysteine and fatigue. They also help people who are on a junk food diet, and those who have had gastric surgery. Always consult your practitioner before making changes to your vitamin regimen.

discussed their concerns about the panel with Mayor Michael Reina and were assured they would have his full cooperation and that of his administration.

Borrelli said he had drafted the original measure to form the advisory board whose purpose is to seek out open space for potential purchase through citizen member input.

“The administration and the council will work together to support the efforts of this committee including involvement of resident volunteers and once open space is chosen for preservation, it will

remain preserved forever and protected from development,” Borrelli explained. He added, “we’ve been working to protect and preserve open space in Jackson since joining the Council and it is our hope that this committee will help us and future governing bodies in that endeavor and that it will greatly benefit our town.”

Softball Field To Get Lights

In other news, a new lighting system being installed at the Bartley Road Softball Field will allow fans to watch games after dark.

For the first time, softball leagues will enjoy games “under the lights” during the upcoming season at that township-owned location

Mayor Michael Reina said the project is expected to be completed in the coming weeks, subject to weather and delivery of supplies.

“It’s incredibly exciting to see the transformation and continual improvements being made at our athletic complexes,” he said. “Late last year, we completed $2.9 million in improvements at the Justice and Holman Athletic Complexes and now, thanks to this additional investment in our athletic fields, night games are coming to the softball field at Bartley Road. “Our residents are going to enjoy these improved facilities for many years to come.”

In 2022, Jackson approved $223,480 for the Bartley Road softball field lighting

project. Two 60-foot poles and two 70foot poles, all with full LED lighting, will be installed at the field.

The lighting system was manufactured by Musco Sports Lighting, LLC and the installation work will be carried out by Quality Electric of Holmdel. which provided the township with the lowest bid for the project. The Jackson Township Engineering Department, under T&M Associates, served as project manager on the initiative.

“Investments like these strengthen our community, our families and our children. That’s why we’re especially proud of the comprehensive improvements we’ve made at our athletic complexes,” the mayor added.

Buying And Selling A Boat Are Fertile Grounds For Scammers

By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

If you are considering buying or selling a boat, then you should be aware that the market is full of bogus buyers and sellers. When it comes to buying or selling a boat, if anything seems unusual then proceed with caution. While fraudulent transactions apply to both purchase and sales, this article will focus on the seller’s side of the transaction.

If selling your boat is not difficult enough, these days the last thing you need is to encounter someone, somewhere, trying to trick you at least once, if not two or more times as you try to complete the boat-selling process. Because fraud comes in all shapes and sizes, it is not possible for us to focus on one type of transaction, so we will concentrate on the most common red flags.

Obvious poor punctuation and grammar. These scammers crank out a thousands of their “inquiries” every day and many of them have a poor grasp of the English language. Also, pay attention to their use of multiple phone numbers (and/or multiple email addresses) from the same individual.

Everything the alleged buyer asked about was thoroughly detailed in your listing. Some of these scammers operate through robo or computerized forms of communication like e-mail or texting. So, if the potential purchaser is asking you for information that is already in your listing then this should raise a red flag and you should proceed with extreme caution.

Enlisting a third party to pick up the boat without the buyer ever having inspected it. Boats are not cheap. No credible buyer will purchase a boat sight unseen. A credible purchaser will at least obtain a boat survey, which is similar to a home inspection. In addition, most honest buyers will be present when the boat is picked-up, rather than sending an agent to do take possession of your boat.

The offer to pay by cashier’s check and pick up the boat after it had been cashed. This seems like a reasonable show of good faith, but scammers have become very good at printing fake checks so realistic that banks initially accept them. It isn’t until days or even weeks later that the scam becomes apparent, and then the bank can pull those funds right back out of your account. Check with your bank to confirm its policy regarding final acceptance of funds.

Paypal or Venmo variation of payment. The phony buyer will ask for your PayPal ID in order to send you a payment, possibly for substantially more than the purchase price. Shortly after that, you will receive a fake confirmation from PayPal with your user ID for more than the agreed purchase price, and the buyer will contact you asking you to forward the extra money to a shipper. Again, you’ll lose whatever money you’ve sent. An unwillingness to provide basic proof of identity such as a photo of their driver’s license. If they are who they say they are then there should be no issue with providing proof of their identity. Automobile dealerships will obtain proof of your identify when you try to purchase one of their vehicles. Strangers routinely share this basic information when they are involved in motor vehicle collisions, so it should not be sacred during the purchase of a boat or a car.

you know this is unreasonable. I am very disappointed in both of you for doing this.” In a statement provided to The Jackson Times, Burlaga explained his version of the interview. “Committeeman Cuozzo opened the floor with questioning Ms. Tallon asking her: ‘Why do you want the position? Do you agree with the full Republican Party? If you dissent anywhere, can you say where?’”

“Ms. Tallon answered both questions respectfully, yet she never stated a point of disagreement with the Republican platform. After she answered Cuozzo’s question she then graciously asked if he would not ask her any more questions because there was history between the two of them,” Burlaga said.

Burlaga said Cuozzo agreed, and didn’t ask Tallon any additional questions. “I followed up the next question and asked, ‘If selected to fill the position, we also expect you to be Committeeman Cuozzo’s running mate (as Calabrese was) and support him in the 2024 election?’”

“After I asked the question. I immediately cited a Facebook post Ms. Tallon made in June 2022 where she publicly accused Committeeman Cuozzo of ‘preaching against women working, women leading, and women having voices’ and again, ‘he [Cuozzo] has a very disturbing view of how the world should be run.’”

Burlaga said he cited her post “for the sole purpose to show Ms. Tallon that I doubt she could

be able to support Cuozzo. Then I finished my question with asking if she still stands by her post and if she can support him. Ms. Tallon then responded that she could not support Cuozzo, nor would she be his running mate.”

He followed with another question that he also posed to other candidates to which Tallon answered that she is pro-choice. “I then followed up with a second question, when you were asked by Cuozzo what positions you disagree with on the Republican platform, why did you not state your position on abortion?”

Burlaga said his party at large holds to pro-life beliefs. “Ms. Tallon responded with the reason that she did not consider it, since the subject of abortion is not handled at the municipal level.” He said his questions were planned in advance and maintains that he nor anyone on the board asked inappropriate questions, nor ridiculed people for their positions and answers.

“The Facebook post I quoted I received from a citizen in my district as she expressed concerns about Ms. Tallon, and she wanted to use her right to inform me, which as a County Committeeman, is my job to hear the concerns of the people in my district who I represent.”

Burlaga maintains that he nor any of the nine people who sat on the screening committee ever attacked Tallon. “She was neither mean, condescending or aggressive towards us, nor were we to her. From my point of view, it was a simple interview process, and that was all.”

The pastor said he asked the question on abortion because “I believe it carries more weight at the municipal level since the Supreme Court’s

Decision on Roe versus Wade. With the decision it transfers legislation onto the state level.”

He said he asked four of the nine candidates in total (including Tallon) to give their position on abortion. “There were others I didn’t ask that question to, for the reason that I either knew their position already, or assumed their position, just by the answers they gave on other questions.”

Cuozzo said two of the candidates screened, Tallon being one, requested that he not ask them any questions during the process. “I did not say a word to Kate Tallon at the time of the interview except to welcome her into the room. She asked that I not speak, and I did not.”

Mayor Bowen confirmed that Cuozzo did not speak to Tallon. “I was informed the day after the meeting by the County Committee about the question about abortion was asked to a few of the candidates. I asked the person who asked those questions (Burlaga). I was not aware that Kate had shared her experience with others and that folks knew of it.”

“When I heard that, I was obviously, deeply concerned that the question had been targeted to her on purpose,” the mayor added. “I agree that would be totally inappropriate.”

Bowen said he contacted Burlaga and asked him about that question. “I asked him were you aware that this particular person (Tallon) has had a personal experience that she has shared with others so it is public knowledge that it was a medically necessary and obviously a very difficult situation. He said to me he was not aware.”

Tallon responded to Bowen saying that Burlaga did have her social media post on his phone and

had showed it to her during the interview. “He had my Facebook post with my miscarriage story in it. I watched him hold his cell phone at me.”

New Committee member

The three candidates who emerged for Township Committee review that night were Michael Hammerstone, Anthony Mannino, and Karen Lamphere. Each were asked several questions by the Township Committee members and a motion was put forward and approved for Hammerstone’s selection. He was sworn in by Township Clerk Jennifer Witham a few minutes later during the special meeting.

A Call For Change

Township Deputy Mayor Herb Marinari, noting the comments made from members of the Committee and members of the audience throughout the evening, tearfully said, “to see this community the way it is now is just disheartening. I’ve never seen this town this way. There is a lot of anger. There is a lot of venom in this community right now.

“I don’t know if it can be done but let’s just start anew. I don’t know what we’re going to do here,” Marinari said. He noted that Township Clerk Witham has a copy of a resignation letter he wrote. He did not submit that letter.

“We all have to try our best. If there are issues let’s bring them forward and talk about them. This is not the community that all of us knew. This has to change. I don’t know if there is an answer. This whole world has turned upside down. Can’t we work a little bit together. Life is way too short believe me,” Marinari added.

New Jersey - Home To A Variety Of Spiders

Renee A. Thomaier

Retired New Jersey State Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator

New Jersey is home to approximately 11 common spiders, but about 98 percent of spiders are not harmful. Only a few are poisonous. This is just a quick guide to the spiders you may encounter. Use your judgment and be cautious.

Spiders are considered arachnids, not bugs or insects. They consist of two body parts and eight jointed legs. Surprise! They are relatives of the crayfish, as well as the lobster. Spiders are very useful. They will feed on moths, mosquitoes, cockroaches, flies, and earwigs. This means that, without even realizing it, you are better able to enjoy the outdoors. Those living naturally outdoors, there is no need to kill them – they are doing their job. Educate yourself so you’re not surprised or caught off guard when you encounter them.

Due space constrictions, I will list these 11 spiders and indicate those that are poisonous. American grass spiders, web builders, bite but not toxic to humans; hacklemesh weavers prefer dark, damp, woodlands, no venom; yellow garden spiders, non-toxic venom to humans; cross orb weaver, spin beautiful webs, venom non-toxic to humans; Parson spiders, ground hunter, nocturnal, painful bite but harmless;

wolf spiders, ground hunters, bite may sting, but no issues; long bodied cellar spiders, hang out in dark places like caves, cellars, garages, and warehouses, has fangs but will not harm you; bold jumping spiders, ground hunters, pounces, the bite will hurt but non-toxic; brown recluse spiders, the most feared, prefers crawl spaces, attics, behind baseboards, and basements, will attack you, powerful bite and venom will eat away at your tissue, seek immediate medical assistance; black widow spiders, spin webs, hang upside-down, most venomous in this country, venom not nearly as fatal as the recluse; common house spiders, most spiders fit into this category, non-venomous.

Pest control companies can help identify and eradicate infestations in your home. The recluse spider poses the most threat to your life and limb – seek medical assistance right away. Information for this article from was gathered through multiple sources so statistics may vary slightly. To reach me please call 732-244-2768.

It is illegal to possess or relocate wildlife for any reason without the proper state and/or federal permits. Violating New Jersey laws protecting wildlife, which includes harm inflicted upon any animal, are punishable by law.

UNSTUFFED SHELLS GIVE YOU THE FLAVOR OF STUFFED SHELLS WITHOUT ALL THE FUSS

By America’s Test Kitchen

Making stuffed shells is a tedious process. On a busy weeknight, no one has time to meticulously stuff each and every individual par-boiled pasta shell. Do yourself a favor and try this recipe for unstuffed shells instead. You’ll thank us later, for time saved and a tummy satisfied. The base of the dish features butternut squash, leeks, and garlic, while a touch of white wine and heavy cream add a luxurious decadence. Rather than “stuffing” the shells, you’ll simply dollop the dish with cheese before baking until bubbly and golden.

UNSTUFFED SHELLS WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND LEEKS

Serves 4 to 6

Notes: You can substitute large or medium shells, ziti, farfalle, campanelle, or orecchiette for the jumbo shells here. The skillet will be very full when you add the shells in Step 3 (stir gently to start), but will become more manageable as the liquid evaporates and the shells become more malleable. You will need a 12-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet for this recipe.

8 ounces (1 cup) whole-milk ricotta cheese

2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (1 cup)

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Salt and pepper

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into

1/2-inch pieces (5 cups)

1 pound leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise, sliced thin, and washed thoroughly

2 garlic cloves, minced

Pinch cayenne pepper

1/4 cup dry white wine

4 cups water

1 cup heavy cream

12 ounces jumbo pasta shells

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine ricotta, 1/2 cup Parmesan, lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl; cover and refrigerate until needed.

2. Heat oil in a 12-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add squash, leeks, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook until leeks are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cayenne and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add wine and cook until almost completely evaporated, about 1 minute.

3. Stir in water and cream, then add pasta. Increase heat to medium-high and cook at vigorous simmer, stirring gently and often, until pasta is tender and liquid has thickened, about 15 minutes.

4. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan over top, then dollop evenly with ricotta mixture. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until Parmesan is melted and spotty brown, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from oven (skillet handle will be hot). Let cool for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with basil and serve.
