South Team Wins Rutgers Business Competition

TOMS RIVER – The RUBY (Rutgers University Business for Youth) program presents students with the information, guidance, and motivation, beneficial to achieving a successful career, and succeeding in life. A symposium invited students from across the area to compete in various business-themed competitions.

A team of sophomores attending High School South’s Business Academy proved victorious, defeating teams from Piscataway, Jackson, and New Brunswick high schools to win the Business Presentation competition.

The team of Dan O’Donnell, Chase Ford, JP Gluck, and Robert Boemio (above) developed an in-depth presentation on the success of Roblox, providing judges the financial background of the company, product descriptions and, most importantly, personal experiences.

“My experience in the Metaverse shaped me into the astute man I am today,” said O’Donnell, referring to the virtual world in which Roblox exists.

Other RUBY competitors from HSS included Grace Rhine, Bisola Fasakin, Nicole Bustamante, Jacqueline Lopez, Sara Manjarrez Santos, Siddhi Jariwala, Laci Donahue, Mary Polozzo, and Emma Italiano.

Congratulations to the winning team, and to all of the RUBY participants for representing the district well.

What is a “Mom & Pop” Business?

A small, independent, family owned, controlled and operated business. It has a small amount of business volume. It is not franchised. “ Open for business in a single location.”

So if your “Mom or Pop” need the services of rehabilitation and nursing services, it just makes sense to go to a “Mom & Pop.”

Here is a picture of a true “Mom & Pop” business: 1579 Old Freehold Rd. Toms River, NJ 08753 732-505-4477 www.rosegardennj.com

Here’s proof that boating is not just for people. Three Wheaten Terriers enjoy a sail aboard the “Messenger” from Osborn Island in Little Egg Harbor. At the helm of the craft and the camera was Captain Ronald Chesinski. The dogs were safety conscious wearing life jackets. ADORABLE! Want to see your pictures in this space?

Expect Moderate Noise From Air Base Most Of June

By Chris Lundy LAKEHURST – Joint Base Mc -

Guire-Dix-Lakehurst announced the levels of noise for the month of June, and residents should expect moderate noise for most of it. Moderate noise is used in the training of .50 caliber weapons, rocket fire, and rotary cannons, for example.

There’s only one low noise day, June 18. That’s for small arms and rifle training. June 11, 12, and 26 will be high noise, which may include training with such weapons as mortars, cratering charges, and Howitzers.
