Man Charged With Dealing Drugs Near Park

By Chris Lundy

BEACHWOOD – A local man was charged with dealing meth at his home across the street from Birch and Surf Park.

An investigation led police to search a home and a camper on the property located at 84 Birch Street on May 1, police said. Timothy Claus, 53, was charged with Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Possession/ Distribution within 500 feet of a public park.

Florio Rasoilo, 54, was charged with Possession (oxycodone) without a Lawful Prescription and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

The Beachwood Police thanked the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force and Ocean County Regional SWAT for their assistance. Charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law.

All About Sunglasses

Sunglasses have a difficult job protecting our eyes from the damaging UV rays of the sun in every season, and for some, every day. When purchasing sunglasses, make sure they have 100 percent UV protection, which will also filter out UVB rays. Wraparound lenses will provide the most protection from both sunshine and sun glare. They also have the added benefit of protecting the soft tissue around eyes, which may help avoid fine lines and wrinkles. Many people have more than one pair of sunglasses and/or a favorite pair, but sunglasses don’t last forever. According to recent studies, even in the most well-made pair of lenses, the UV protection will likely degrade over time.

In addition to the UV-blocking properties, anti-reflective and anti-scratch coatings wear down, and the frame material may become brittle over the years, too. Even if you have the most durable sunglasses available, regular lens-replacement is the best way to ensure that your vision is maximally protected from the harmful effects of ultraviolet light. SIGHTMD NEW JERSEY SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES offers a full range of care for your eyes, from yearly vision exams to the treatment of medical eye conditions.

P.S. Surprisingly, the darkness of sunglasses lenses does not have anything to do with the amount of protection they provide from sun damage.
