Amid Increase In Child Predators, Parents Urged To Monitor Children’s Social Media
By Bob Vosseller TRENTON – Various law enforcement agency representatives expressed the need for parents to take a more active role in monitoring their child’s social media and internet use during a virtual press conference where New Jersey At-
torney General Gurbir S. Grewal announced 21 arrests of alleged child predators. Those investigations also included cases of sharing child sexual abuse materials online. He said that online threats continue to rise during the pandemic.
This prompted his office to warn parents of risks to children as school is about to begin and students are experiencing more screen time. It was recommended by several of the representatives present for parents to have their children’s phones placed in a
charging area during the night to prevent them from using the phone for unsupervised online purposes. An alarming concern noted was an increase in 7, 8 and 9-year old children creating self-produced videos. Grewal said that during this pandemic, “people
are spending more time online. On the one hand homebound children are spending more time on their devices both for virtual learning and for recreation. At the same time predators are also spending more time online and taking advantage (Child - See Page 20)

High Schools Produce Video Orientations
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Students, staff, parents, administrators and teachers are all preparing for the start of what will be the most unusual and unique school year ever experienced. Schools in Jackson are no exception as they prepare to head back to the classroom albeit in an abbreviated day mixed with in-class instruction and remote learning. Nicole Pormilli is beginning her first school year as the district’s superintendent. She expressed during a recent Board of Education meeting that “we are redoing everything we know about education.” During her superintendent’s report she went over how the schools of the district would be reopening. “We have been busy communicating with our parents and families and our administrative team has been working extremely hard for many, many hours to prepare schedules for both in-person and remote learners. It is definitely a unique start to our school year. Nothing is as it was.” To prepare high school students for their entry to a new and now different school environment, videos for this year’s orientation process were produced. At Jackson Liberty High School Principal Geoff Brignola said during a 9th grade Virtual Orientation video “as you know we are in different times this year. I want you to know that we are really excited about this new year to begin.” Brignola told students, “whether it is administrators, teachers, staff, security, cafeteria workers, custodians - we are here to support you. We are also here to challenge you. We are going to raise the bar of expectations but we are here to get you above that bar. We have a lot of things to offer you this year. Whether it be the hybrid schedule or the remote schedule to bring you the high school experience as it should be.” He addressed parents since they, too, are probably feeling anxious. “We are not only here for your children but we are here for you as well. We want and need your help. Stay engaged. We want to make this high school experience as memorable for the (School - See Page 8)

Alex Sauickie noted that when Calogero had resigned in April, it was during a time when the governing body was holding meetings virtually and while the council were present in the council chambers, the public was not. Calogero and his wife Gina were able to attend the most recent public meeting of the governing body which allowed for a live presentation and verbal praise of his work over the years as well as his leadership skills. “Those signs go back a few years,” the mayor said. “We also have a plaque for you,” Sauickie said. “Tonight we just wanted to take some time out to honor Barry Calogero as we didn’t really have time to do it as timely as we would have liked due to the restrictions of COVID. I wanted to allow the public to get back in when things were somewhat back to normal.” “It is my honor to recognize Barry tonight. For those of you who don’t know he’s an adopted (Jackson) son from Queens (New York). He met the love of his life Gina there and moved to Jackson. Whether he realizes it or not he really affected a lot of people’s lives, inspiring several of us up here - including myself - to serve in public office,” Sauickie said. The Council President added, “I met Barry about six years ago I got to watch him do what he was doing in town and he was nice enough to mentor me and take me under his wing. Low and behold a few years later I’m doing what I had always wanted to do - to serve this town.” “I saw Barry as an example and so on behalf of the mayor and council I wanted to recognize his years of service which includes being on the council from 2013 to 2020, being council president in 2015 and 2020, council vice president from 2014 and 2019 and all together 15 years of service to the town when you consider all the other boards he served on,” Sauickie said. Council Vice President Andrew Kern echoed those sentiments saying, “thank you Barry for we really appreciate everything you have done.” “Thank you guys I appreciate all the recognition. The last eight years have been a true honor to serve the people of Jackson. I left the township in great hands. You guys
are doing a great job - continue doing it,” Calogero said. Also noted during the evening was Hunger Awareness Month. Councilman Martin Flemming read a proclamation for the observance noting the many volunteers that work to assist those in need of food within the township. “Hunger and poverty are great issues of concern to those in the United States and the State of New Jersey…Jackson is committed to work with Fulfill, formerly known as the Foodbank of Monmouth and Ocean counties to educate people about the role and importance of food banks,” Flemming said. He added, “more than 250,000 individuals living in Monmouth and Ocean counties are provided food by Fulfill and its partners since the beginning of the pandemic. The unemployment level is the highest it has ever been in the history of this state and the poverty level for a family of four is $25,465 and 9.5% live below that level.” He noted that since March 14, “Fulfill has provided 1,986,909 meals including 16,000 more meals per day than the year before and 1,082,925 of those meals were provided to Ocean County residents.” Flemming added that due to the pandemic “one of every six people in Monmouth and Ocean counties receive emergency food from Fulfill and their network food pantries, shelters and other community organizations.” Food banks across the country including Fulfill are holding numerous events in September to bring awareness to encouraging involvement and efforts to end hunger in the community. “September 2020 will be known as Hunger Action Month,” Flemming said. The governing body urged residents to support local food banks with their time and donations and to spread the word and educating others about the problem of hunger. Councilman Ken Bressi noted that “there are so many times when we have a proclamation it kind of falls on the wayside when it comes to the meaning but I think this year with the pandemic, unemployment, people out of work it really shows the need that is out there. The severity of it and the worries people have of feeding their families” Flemming added “please keep Fulfill and these other groups in your donation plan whether it be monetary, food or most importantly your time. They always need your help.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
E DITORIAL Drug Companies Shouldn’t Make Health Unaffordable Summertime at the Jersey Shore has come and gone, with vacationers and locals alike itching to get out of their houses and feel a sense of normalcy - heightening the risk of COVID-19 transmission with each boardwalk day, outdoor meal, and super market trip. While we’ve f lattened our curve and new cases have plateaued, there is still a stark lack of available treatments, and it can still be a challenge just to get a test. I know too many people who will not seek out medical care simply because it’s too expensive. Many of these are people who are most at risk - our seniors, people with pre-existing conditions, and working class folks who stock our shelves and are caregivers to our loved ones. It’s scary to think about how our health would be impacted if we contract COVID, but I think many people face an impossible choice when they also think about how their ban k accou nts would be impacted. And as the race for a vaccine and treatments marches full speed ahead, we need to keep in mind that a vaccine will only work if everyone can afford it. That’s why Congress needs to take action to stop drug corporations from setting the prices in order to ensure we all can. I know what it’s like to have to make a hard decision about how to afford the care I needed to be healthy. At the beginning of my junior year of high school, my dad became really sick and he wasn’t getting any better. He was worried about what would happen
if he wasn’t able to care for me anymore, so we went to live with his girlf riend. One late evening I was jolted awake by my dad yelling for me to call 911. He was rushed to the emergency room and ended up in the hospital for over three months. In that time my whole life was t ur ned upside down. My father’s medical bills and the cost of his prescription drugs were so expensive that we were really struggling to keep up with the rest of our bills. It wasn’t until my freshman year of college that I realized how much money my family has had to spend on prescription medications or how expensive they actually are. During fall semester last year I got extremely sick and was stranded at school alone. My dad was in the hospital again and I had no one to rely on but myself and my friends. I had been going through a lot of pain for about a week, but since my money went straight to tuition, I avoided going to the hospital as long as possible for fear of more medical bills. Feeling my lowest, I fi nally gathered myself and I went to the school nurse to get some help and was told to go to the emergency room. After spending hours waiting to be seen and filling out tons of paperwork, the nurse asked me to buy a specific medication I needed for my stomach. I looked at the price and I looked at the last couple of dollars I had left
Antifa Is This Year’s Migrant Caravan
Remember in 2018, when there was a “migrant caravan” that was making its way to our southern border? Whatever happened to them? Are they still on their way? Did they stop in Mexico and decide to settle down there instead? We don’t know. Because after the election of 2018 we suddenly stopped hearing about them. They were just an election prop. They were just something to scare people in the suburbs into voting Republican. After the election, the caravan just up and vanished. Maybe they skipped the U.S. and went to Canada. No one knows. This year, it’s “Antifa.” It’s just the new thing to scare people in the suburbs into voting Republican. Antifa doesn’t even exist as an organization. It’s just a boogeyman. Any time there’s a protester that does something wrong, they’re labeled Antifa. There was even a rumor that Antifa was going door to door, breaking into people’s houses. That lie was spread about a Black Lives Matter rally in Toms River. The local police had to step up and tell everyone it was a lie. Have there been violent protesters? Of course there have been, but you can’t say that all protesters are the same, just like you can’t say that all Catholics are the same, or people of the same nationality. You can’t judge all protesters by on my account but I really had no choice: I bought the medication. I will never forget that day, having to choose between the last of my money to buy food, or the medication I needed to get better. Nobody should have to make this choice. I know that this isn’t just an issue my family goes through; millions of families in America have to make hard choices about how to afford their good health every day, and it’s
Letters To Editor a candidate for President of anti-Semitic, except for him the few bad apples. That’d be The like judging all police officers based on the guy who killed George Floyd. There have also been hundreds of protests that have been peaceful. But those don’t get shown on the TV news, do they? A bunch of local protests have been very peaceful. Protesters and police marched side by side. Politicians prey on fear. They want you to be afraid of something. This year, they want you to be afraid of Antifa. Carl Borgnis Manchester
Biden’s Handlers Should Tell The Truth Remember the Seinfeld final episode when Jerry and Elaine and everyone went to jail for violating “good Samaritan laws?” They saw a crime being committed, and they did nothing, and it was in a state like Vermont, Minnesota or Rhode Island where a bystander observing a crime is “required to act” in some limited capacity. Similarly, I think that there is a crime being committed when many people and all the media “sit silent” about Biden’s medical condition. They know Joe Biden personally, and think he is mentally not quite right, he has early stages of dementia, or he shows clear signs of old age mentally......or something diminishing his mental capacity......that would certainly disqualify him from being getting worse now that millions of people are losing their jobs and their healthcare during this pandemic. That’s why it’s so important we all stand up and speak out together against drug corporations using this pandemic to price lifesaving medicines out of our reach. Medicines only work if people can afford them, and treatments only work if we all have access. Emmanuella Osei Barnegat
the United States who could actually win. There is a hint of comedy in this letter, but it is really, really true that Biden’s medical records and condition are being kept secret by his “handlers” and others. There is absent a cry out, unbelievably, that he be evaluated medically, and the results shared with the voters. Good Samaritan laws are often broken, and violators don’t go to jail like Jerry Seinfeld et al. We are witnessing a crime in some states, I think. David F. Lipton Beachwood
Ashamed To Be A Jackson Republican Back in the days of Mark Seda, I had several Republicans approach me, and offer me a bribe to spy on a certain Democrat. Of course I said no, but I never forgot that. So, later, when another Republican said he wanted to work with me, and include me in on everything he was doing for Jackson, I was at first leery, but I decided to give him a chance, and not paint him with that same Republican brush. Turns out I should have stayed with my first instinct. He turned out to be the slimiest snake in the pit! Recently, things went from bad to worse, in that proverbial heartbeat. We had one Council member, under oath, state that our entire administration is
of course. He went on to prove that by pushing through applications that never should have been. Then there was the two Republican Club members who posted things on Facebook that smelled of anti-Semitism, bringing Jackson the attention of the Attorney General. Then came the resignations of three Planning Board members, with again, anti-Semitic overtones. Republicans in Jackson seem to be imploding all over the place, and I decided that I did not want to be painted with that same brush, so, back in December, I quietly went back to being a Democrat. Jackson would benefit from having Democrats on the Council. Mike Kafton needs to return to the political arena. I always learned something when he was, and admired his passion and honesty. He showed patience and grace while on the Council, with a few exceptions of course! Couldn’t blame him, though. He was constantly disrespected by the Republicans, what with all the eye rolls and major sighing whenever he spoke. Our town is definitely not non-partisan, even though it’s supposed to be. We all need to take action to bring Jackson back to the town we’re proud to live in. Used to be people would only recognize Jackson when you mentioned Great Adventure. Sadly, that is no longer the case. Stephanie Brown Jackson

Legislation Would Provide $25 Billion For Post Office From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith Washington, D.C. - Legislation to provide a $25 bi l l ion e me rge ncy ap propr iation to the U.S. Postal Service “will help stabilize the post office and restore critical operations and ser vices,” said Re p. Ch r is Sm it h (R-4th) who voted for the legislation and has been a c o n s i s t e n t a d vo c a t e for post al workers and customers, especially dur ing the coronavir us
pandemic. “ T he men a nd women of the postal service have be e n work i ng on the f rontlines du r ing C OV I D -19 d e l i ve r i n g mail, food supplies, medicines, checks and other c r it ic a l it e m s ,” Sm it h said. “T he USPS has faced added expenses PPE, testing, quarantine leave, overtime and sanitizing equipment - all to help sustain our embat-
tled economy and enable the rest of us to get the products we need.” Smith, who was pivotal in the reopening of the Joh n K . R af fe r t y pro cessing and distribution center in Hamilton, NJ, after it was hit and closed in the anthrax attack of 2001, said that the changes proposed by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, would severely cu r t ail operations and cut mail services throughout most of central New Jersey. “They are aiming to get rid of almost half of the 26 major mail processing machines just at the John K. Raffer t y processing d i s t r i b u t io n c e n t e r i n Hamilton, alone,” Smith
said. “Efficient and powerful equipment such as delivery bar code sorters move 40,000 pieces of mail per hour. To dismantle per fectly operat i ng equipment delays the mail and hurts customers and commerce.” Smith noted he was also f ig ht i ng re ce nt lu nchhour closures at branch of f ices t h roug hout h is district “as the closures make it harder for postal patrons to conduct business and/or pick up their mail,” he said. “The loss of personnel and machines could hamper vote by mail return as well,” Smith said. In addition to providing the $25 billon emergency
appropr iat ion , t he bil l Smith voted for, Delivering for America Act, HR 8015, will: Prohibit the USPS from undertaking any operational changes from what wa s i n ef fe c t p r ior t o January 1, 2020 that may reduce services, such as revision of service standards, closure or consolidation of facilities, or restrictions on overtime pay. Direct the USPS to rever se a ny i n it iat ive or a c t io n t h a t i s c a u si ng delay in mail delivery or processing. Require that election-related mail - such as mailin ballots and voter registration forms - be treated
as f irst-class mail, and bars removing or decommissioning mail sorting machines and mail collection boxes available to the public or instituting a hiring freeze. Mandate that, to the maximum extent practicable, the USPS post-mark, process, and clear election mail on the day it is received. “The USPS, its universal del ive r y net work , a nd it s post al worker s a nd ca r r ie r s a r e a r el iable presence in communities across the nation. We must not shortchange the postal service which has proven so critical to our economy, elections and democracy,” Smith said.
$5M Will Bolster Community Health Centers Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
NEWARK – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cor y Booker today annou nced $5,319,625 i n an nual federal f unding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to support the operations of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) across New Jersey and their continued response to the COVID-19 public health crisis. “FQHCs are often the f irst place families and seniors across the state go to when they need affordable and high quality health care,” said Sen. Menendez. “Community health centers have been on the frontlines of the pandemic since the very beginning and they continue to play a critical role in the state’s response and recover y. This f unding will ensure they contin-
ue to serve the residents of New Jersey and have the personal protective equipment and medical supplies they need to keep their patients and health care providers safe and healthy.” “ Ne w Je r s e y h e a lt h centers have been essential in the fight against COVID-19 by providing critical care to those who need it most,” said Sen. Bo oke r. “ T h i s fe d e r a l funding will help ensure ou r com mu n it y he alt h centers can continue to prov ide cr it ical healt h care services to some of ou r mo s t u nd e r s e r ve d communities in order to prot e ct t he healt h a nd safety of all New Jerseyans.” In New Jersey, there are 24 C om mu n it y He a lt h Centers that operate 137 satellite sites, providing
preventive and primar y health care ser vices to over a half-million New Jersey residents. Sen. Menendez authored a provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that requires private insurance plans on the exchange to fully reimburse FQHCs at no less than the same rate as Medicaid in order to ensure the economic v it al it y of c om mu n it y health centers and properly recognize them for the valuable role they play in the American healthcare system.

School:
Continued From Page 1 students as possible.” Brignola urged parents to call or e-mail the school with any questions or concerns they may have. Rob Paneque serves as the athletic director at Liberty High School and Jackson Memorial High School. He was part of the orientation video and said,
“give athletics an opportunity. There are a lot of things out there. We have over 28 different types of sports at all different levels. We really think that being involved in high school athletics is real important.” “We are in a different world and things are different than they have been in the past and we need to be as flexible as possible. You may see some things change as to how we have to run things,” Paneque
told students. The video for Jackson Memorial High School’s orientation had a similar introduction showcasing scenes of the schools exterior, interior and activities of the past. It opened by Principal Kevin DiEugenio who welcomed students saying, “certainly the start of the school year may look a little different to all of us. In essence we are looking to have an outstanding year.”
He added that a lot of sports and club activities would be part of the school year despite the pandemic conditions as well as an enriching curriculum. Students and staff members provided a virtual tour of the school in the video. Thomas Tarver, the school’s assistant principal said, “we look for ward to getting things back to normal whenever that is.” He added his own personal connection to the district as having attended an elementary, middle and high school in Jackson. “We look forward to interacting with you when it is safe to do so.” Also featured in the video was Marites Delfin who is one of two school nurses at Memorial High School. “Parents and guardians need to have an alternate plan in place should their children become ill during the school day. Students will be excluded from school if they have a temperature above 100.4.” A list of health criteria was included in the video regarding the steps that would be taken by the district as well as what parents would have to do concerning incidents of illness. The orientation videos were produced through the school district’s Jackson TV production team.
Jackson Adds Handicapped Access Projects By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Council Vice President Andrew Kern thanked Mayor Michael Reina and Business Administrator Terence Wall for a pair of resolutions on the agenda during a recent Township Council meeting. The resolutions called for the adver tisement and acceptance of bids for handicap door replacement at the Jackson Municipal Building and would also include the senior center handicap doors and at the Justice Complex building as well as handicap doors at the Department of Public Works. “After a fall three years ago, in June of 2017, I almost lost my leg and after a ver y long and gr ueling recover y I was lef t per manently handicapped. That incident and every day thereafter I looked at the world differently. Seeing and experiencing obstacles I noticed things that has given me insight that our seniors and other residents face every day,” Kern said. He noted that he had convinced the Boa rd of E ducat ion t o m a ke some changes for accessibility at a district high school. “I want to than k them for completing that job in just a few weeks.” “We can’t snap our fingers and make everything perfect for everyone. This council works with the administration every day to make this town a better place for all residents,” Kern added.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Ocean County Health Dept Issues Reminder To Parents About Vaccines
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Health Dept. (OCHD) is reminding parents who are preparing their children for the start of the new school year, about the importance of protecting them against vaccine-preventable diseases. Such protection efforts include having their children receive timely immunizations and ensure compliance with the NJ Department of Health (NJDOH) school requirements. The value of student immunizations is even more evident during this pandemic and key to reducing the potential for vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks in our county. Parents should also keep in mind that despite the pandemic, there will be no waivers or extensions in regards to compliance except for the recognized exemptions. “Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the overall number of well-child office visits was down about 50% and manufacturers reported a decline in vaccine orders,” said Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator/Health Officer. “We need to get those numbers back up,” Regenye said. He noted that “many healthcare practices have implemented additional precautions and policies to ensure vaccines can be administered in an environment that maximizes patient safety.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), among children born between 1994-2018, vaccination will prevent an estimated 419 million illnesses, 26.8 million hospitalizations, and 936,000 deaths over their lifetimes. Most US parents are confident in the safety and effectiveness of vaccines but some misinformation has put some communities at risk,
resulting in decreased vaccination coverage rates, followed by outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. Regenye explained that vaccines save lives but do not work unless they are used. In 2019, more than 1,200 cases of measles were confirmed in 31 states. From April 2018 to January 2019, 33 measles cases were reported in Ocean County. Staff of the OCHD urges vigilance about preventing measles, which is highly contagious and can be deadly. Up to 9 out of 10 people who lack immunity and are exposed to measles will become infected. In the U.S., about one in five who get measles will be hospitalized, and up to three out of every 1,000 people with measles will die, even with the best care. OCHD Asst. Public Health Coordinator Patricia High said, “for the upcoming flu season, vaccination will be paramount to reduce the impact of respiratory illnesses in the population and resulting burdens on the healthcare system during the COVID-19 pandemic.” “Without a COVID-19 cure or vaccine, the flu shot becomes more important than ever. Stressing your immune system after a serious bout with the flu may leave you more vulnerable for the COVID-19 virus,” High added. The OCHD is preparing plans, protocols and a schedule for the 2020-2021 Flu Clinic Program and will be made available the agency’s website ochd.org - in the coming weeks. Vaccine requirements for school students, including recommendations for adults, can be found at the CDC website at cdc.gov/vaccines/. A general COVID-19 Information Call Hot Line for residents and clinicians has also being prepared by the OCHD to answer questions regarding the coronavirus. The number is 732-341-9700 ext. 7411.
Man Arms Self With Speargun In Parking Spot Dispute By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE PARK – Borough police reported an incident of road rage that led to the arrest of a 37-year-old man who aimed a speargun to threaten people. Bradley Rodriguez was arrested for allegedly taking speargun out of his vehicle which he then loaded and aimed in a threatening manner at people near the Beach Tacos restaurant.

According to borough police, Rodriguez, was arguing about the parking space before he aimed the speargun which is used for catching fi sh and other under sea creatures. Police charged him with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. Rodriguez is in some way affiliated with Beach Tacos, according to police but his relationship with them is not yet known. His town of residence was not available from police.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Driver Sentenced In Fatal Hit And Run
By Chris Lundy LAKEWOOD – A 31-year-old with a record of driving infractions was sentenced to seven years in New Jersey State Prison for fatally striking a teenager with his vehicle, and leaving the scene. Alexander Politan, 31, of Toms River, was sentenced by the Honorable Guy P. Ryan, J.S.C., to seven years in New Jersey State Prison. He will also lose his license for six months. In February, he had pleaded guilty to Knowingly Leaving the Scene of a Motor Vehicle Accident Resulting in Death, as well as Driving with a Suspended License. According to police, a father and son were walking east along Oak Street on Oct. 4, 2019, when they were both struck by Politan’s Jeep as it was traveling east. The vehicle was last seen fleeing the area, south on Albert Avenue. The father, identified as 37-year-old Jesus Lopez-Ramirez of Lakewood, sustained an injury to his elbow and was transported to a local hospital for treatment and further evaluation. However, his 15-year-old son Jesus Lopez-Grande suffered significant bodily injury. Life-saving measures were not successful and he succumbed to his injuries at the scene. Police noted that vehicle debris was left at the scene, enabling detectives to determine that they belonged to a black 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Authorities located the vehicle a few days later in the driveway of an unoccupied residence on New Hampshire Avenue in Toms River. The black Jeep Cherokee had damage to the passenger side. Further investigation revealed that Politan was operating the vehicle when it struck the family members. Police located and arrested Politan and he was processed at Lakewood Township Police Headquarters. Motor Vehicle Commission records show that Politan’s driving privileges were suspended on Sept. 18 after he failed to appear in court in Neptune City on a summons he received Dec. 8, 2018 for delaying traffic. Jersey Shore Online made inquiries to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commis-
sion. Politan has had his driving privileges suspended five times for failure to appear in court alongside various summonses for unsafe driving. For example, within a two-month period, he received three summonses: Oct. 15, 2018: Summons for failure to obey a directional signal, in Eatontown Oct. 17, 2018: Summons for improper turn on a green arrow/traffic control, in Neptune Township Dec. 8, 2018: Summons for delaying traffic in Neptune City. Politan was also discovered to have the following: Nov. 20, 2013: Court-ordered suspension for failure to appear in Neptune Township. That suspension was lifted April 30, 2015. Dec. 22, 2011: Court-ordered suspension for failure to appear in Neptune City. That suspension was lifted Sept. 19, 2013. Oct. 22, 2010: Cited for failure to appear and summonses for unsafe operation of a motor vehicle in Neptune Township Oct. 11, 2010: Cited for careless driving in Mansfield, Burlington County Oct. 7, 2009: Cited for having an unsafe vehicle in a crash in Neptune Township Oct. 30, 2008: Summons for careless driving in a crash in Eatontown. Febraury 2008: Driving privileges suspended for failure to pay an insurance surcharge from a June 2007 crash where Politan received a summons for following too closely. Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer thanked Senior Assistant Prosecutor Robert Cassidy and Assistant Prosecutor Kate Burke who handled the case on behalf of the State, and extended his gratitude to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Vehicular Homicide Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Victim Witness Advocacy Unit, Lakewood Township Police Department, Toms River Police Department, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit for their combined efforts in securing this state prison sentence.

Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq.and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment. When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy. We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy. The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets. We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/they are injured. The Standard Policy does provide medical
Michael J. Deem, Esq.
expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000.00 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses. When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” By choosing the “ limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates (732-505-1212) for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

How To Talk To Your Kids About Breast Cancer A breast diagnosis is overwhelming and frightening, understandably prompting a swirl of emotion and a long list of questions. The worry and uncertainty is real for both the person who has been diagnosed and the family members who love her. In my experience, one of the top tier questions from parents is “How to tell the kids.” It’s a tough and important question, and a cancer diagnosis in a family with children poses many challenges. Helping kids, as well as adult kids, understand the cancer diagnosis and subsequently, cope with the fears and changes that treatment may bring, takes planning and support. Step 1: Find out what they know: That is ask the child, ‘What do you know about cancer?’ Step 2: Give them a warning: Such as, ‘Well, along those lines, I’m afraid that Mom has something to tell you.’ Step 3: Share information: Tell them who her doctors are, what the plans are for surgery and follow up treatments, and what the expectations are for her recovery. Step 4: Respond to their feelings: The patient needs to assure them that it is perfectly normal to feel sad or scared. Over the following months, the patient should continue to validate their concerns for fear and anxiety, surrounding the diagnosis and treatment, and share what has worked for her in coping with it. Step 5: Plan the follow through: The family talks about sharing the information with friends and teachers, and what might be expected while she is away for surgery and follow up treatments. As one patient put it, “Looking back, that was possibly the most difficult, bad news I had to deliver, because of the emotional impact on those I love. But it also taught me the importance of involving family, even young children, in the conversations early. And it also reminded me about how intuitive and resilient children can be.” In addition, The American Cancer Society has several fantastic articles and resource suggestions for helping children cope with a loved ones’ cancer diagnosis. Including: 1. Why tell children that a parent has cancer? 2. How to tell my child that a parent has cancer? 3. How will my child react? 4. What if my child asks if I’m going to die? 5. How can I reassure my child that everything will be fine? 6. What if my child needs extra help? Know that you’re not alone and there are people who are experienced and ready to help you and your family, including your children, in each step of the journey.
By Chris Lundy NEW JERSEY – Restaurants and theaters will be opening on Friday, September 4 but only to 25% of their capacity, Gov. Phil Murphy said during one of his daily coronavirus press conferences. There will be an “exhaustive list” of regulations for restaurants to reopen safely, he said. Among them are: • No more than 25% capacity • Parties will be seated in groups no larger than 8 • There must be 6 feet of distance between tables • Staff must wear masks at all times • Diners must wear masks when they are not in their seats • Food and beverages can only be consumed while seated. Another regulation is that servers will be the only ones who can transport food. A patron can’t walk up to the bar to get something to bring back to his table. If a business serves food at bars, people must be 6 feet apart. Air conditioning units must be set so that more outside air is brought in. There should be the minimum amount of recirculated air being used in the building. “I am proud we are doing this today so our restaurants can welcome customers back for the long holiday weekend,” Murphy said. Earlier this sum mer, Mu r phy had promised to ease regulations on the restaurant industry but then took that away. Other states had reopened restaurants to disastrous effects, he said. Meanwhile, outdoor seating can con-
tinue in the same way it is now. He thanked local off icials who enabled outside dining. Since the virus spreads more slowly outside, some patrons will continue to feel more comfortable eating outside. When it comes to theaters, the reopening applies to movie theaters as well as live performances. Patrons must wear masks unless eating snacks. They also can’t have someone sitting next to them who is not in their family. The capacity is the lesser of 25% or 150 people. In a multiplex, each theater is counted separately. In other words, theater 1 would have 25% capacity, and so would theater 2. It is not 25% of the entire building. For religious or political events, the inside capacity will be 25% or 150 people. This is up from 100 people. The lessening of restrictions comes as most people are following the rules to slow the spread of the virus, Murphy said. “We know this is a virus of opportunity so let’s not give it any unnecessary opportunity,” he said. The announcement was made on Monday, Aug. 31. It is unknown if restaurants would have the time to stock their kitchens or hire staff before the Labor Day weekend, or if theaters would have time to hire or schedule programming in that short window. One of the recur ring criticisms of Murphy’s handling of COVID-19 is that when he lifts restrictions, the people most impacted by it have little time to scramble around to make it work.
Telephone Town Hall To Discuss Joint Base
By Chris Lundy LAKEHURST – A local congressman will be hosting a telephone town hall to discuss issues relating to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and military families. Residents can call in at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 9. You can register here: kim.house. gov/live. The event will be hosted by Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd). He represents parts of Burlington and Ocean counties. “The men and women who serve at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst are critical parts of our communities, and it’s important to shine a bright light on their
contributions and how much they add to New Jersey,” said Congressman Kim. “I’m holding this town hall because I not only want to give our service members a chance to ask questions, but I want to give everyone across Burlington and Ocean Counties a chance to know what I know; the amazing work our service members do every day at our Joint Base and in our community.” Congressman Kim is a member of the House Armed Services Committee and the House Committee on Small Business. This is the 25th town hall he has organized since he was sworn into office in January of 2019.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE State Gives Tips To Protect Against Mosquitoes, West Nile
By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE – State departments are giving tips to protect families and safeguard properties from mosquitoes that can carry life-threatening diseases. As of press time, the state had two cases of West Nile Virus. A man in his 70s in Monmouth County and a man in his 40s in Essex County. Last year, there were eight cases. We are now entering the peak of West Nile season, according to the New Jersey Department of Health and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. “While WNV activity in mosquitoes has been much lower than what we have seen in previous seasons, it is important that residents continue to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites especially since most WNV human cases occur in early September,” Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said. People over age 50 and people with weak immune systems are at greater risk of developing severe illness. Symptoms of more serious illness include severe headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness and paralysis. “All of us can take part in protecting public health by taking simple steps to control the mosquito population,” New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Catherine R. McCabe said. “The most important step for the home owner is to eliminate standing water on their property, to reduce areas where mosquitoes may breed and grow. Checking flower
pots, pet food and water dishes, birdbaths, swimming pool covers and other places that hold water can significantly reduce the risk of mosquito bites and the illnesses they can carry. We appreciate the continued collaboration of our colleagues at the Department of Health, Department of Agriculture, Rutgers, public health workers and the county mosquito control agencies who are on the front lines working to reduce New Jersey’s mosquito population.” To protect against mosquito borne diseases, residents should: • Wear EPA-registered insect repellant • Avoid being outdoors during dawn and dusk when mosquitos are most active • Wear long sleeves and long pants • Cover crib, stroller and baby carrier with mosquito netting • Repair holes in screens to keep mosquitoes outside and use air conditioning when possible Residents, business owners and contractors are urged to empty or change standing water at least weekly to stop mosquito breeding. Areas that may need attention include flower pots, birdbaths, clogged rain gutters, plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows, and any containers or trash that may be difficult to see such as under bushes, homes or around building exteriors. Contact with mosquitoes can also be reduced by using air-conditioning when possible and ensuring window screens are in good repair. Detailed guidance for mosquito-proofing your yard are available at nj.gov/health/cd/ topics/vectorborne.shtml.
Gyms, Indoor Recreation To Partially Reopen
By Chris Lundy TRENTON – During an Aug. 26 coronavirus update, Gov. Phil Murphy announced that gyms and indoor recreation can reopen, but provided guidance for how to do it safely. The new regulations go into effect on Sept. 1, he said. In the case of gyms and health centers, only 25 percent of the normal capacity can be let in, he said. Everyone – workers and patrons – must wear masks. Equipment must be sanitized in between customers. If the equipment can’t be sanitized, it must not be used Equipment must be spaced apart 6 feet for proper social distancing. If this is not possible, then machines should be cordoned off. For example, a row of treadmills might have every other one in operation. For health classes, there can only be one
customer per 200 square feet of space. These facilities will need to maintain a log of customers and employees, and when they were in the establishment. Murphy said this is in case someone tests positive, they can do contact tracing to inform other people that they might have been exposed. Any outdoor activities that these businesses are doing would continue to go on with the current outside regulations. As for indoor amusement, the guidelines are still forthcoming, he said. However, they would be similar to other inside businesses. Murphy has been criticized by residents and some local officials for reopening the state too slowly. Another criticism is that the changes happen too quickly for business owners or local leaders to get the personnel and other moving pieces in operation quickly enough after he reopens something.

Hearing Help During Pandemic Times
In my opinion, the effects of Covid-19 will remain in effect for at least the next 6 months and more than likely will linger into 2021. I strongly believe there will be several viable vaccines as well as therapeutics by the end of this year. In the meantime, it’s very important to wear a mask when social distancing is not an option. Always carry “hand sanitizer” with you! When you decide to visit your hearing healthcare professional, make sure they have procedures in place in line with CDC recommendations. For example, in my practice, we take everyone’s temperature and have them complete a covid-19 questionnaire. Secondly, we limit only two patients in our waiting room at the same time. Third, we allow more time between patients to disinfect all areas. Fourth, we have each patient leave our office from a different location. As a general rule, we are allowing at least an extra 15-30 minutes per patient. What this should mean is that you’re hearing care professional should be spending more time with you at each appointment. Equally important, if you’re not comfortable entering our offices, we offer curbside services for
folks who just have a hearing aid problem. We would disinfect the hearing instrument, fix it, and return it to you while you wait in your car. If we have to send the hearing aid back for repair, we can provide you with a loaner hearing instrument. Finally, as we remain stuck in our homes, we realize how important it is to hear clearly. Don’t hesitate to have your hearing tested and if you’re wearing a hearing aid, it should cost nothing for us to clean and adjust them. Please be careful when removing your mask while wearing your hearing aids. Many folks have lost their hearing instruments because of the mask. Ask your hearing care professional to add a “sports lock” to the receiver wires and/or consider custom micromolds. In addition, we have “ear savers” that will attach to most masks that will help prevent LOSS of the hearing aid when removing your mask. Dr. Izzy is always available to answer all of your important questions about most hearing care issues. He can be reached at 732-8183610 or visit us at www.Gardenstatehearing. com. Our offices are in Toms River, Manahawkin, and Whiting.

5 Ways To Save Your Brain, Learn Faster And Calm Down
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I lost my car at the mall and had to ask the security guy to drive me around and find it. I was practically in tears after roaming around the parking lot for 20 minutes. At the time, I just thought, “I’m losing my mind, how do I not remember this?!” Then I thought about it, I have a hundred million thoughts in my head, and when I parked, I parked at a location I never usually park in near a store I never go to. And I had been wrapped up in an important and intense conversation on the phone (while I was driving and parking) and… are you assuming these are excuses? Maybe so. But it made me think that memory loss and other injuries of the brain could impact your quality of life. It’s scary. Your brain should be properly ‘fed’ and ‘exercised’ and in good shape. I can teach you how to save your brain and support yourself if you’re dealing with memory issues, brain fog or mild issues related to traumatic brain injury (TBI) or Toxic Encephalopathy. I’m only offering suggestions to save your brain today, I’m not sure what’s safe for you or effective for your individual condition so please speak to your neurologist before trying any of these supplements: Fatty Acids – Why not, your brain is made of fat? Fat is an integral part of your brain, so it’s first up for that reason. One of the most important types of supplements you can take would be something high in DHA, docosahexaenoic acid. You’ll find DHA in supplements labeled “DHA” as
well as in Salmon Oil, Fish Oils, Chia Seed Oil and Krill. Mullein Root – A little harder to find, it has a mild anti-spasmodic effect. Since it has an affinity for facial nerves, some holistic doctors suggest Mullein for Bells Palsy, Trigeminal Neuralgia or other facial nerve pain syndromes associated with brain-injury. Acetyl L carnitine – It’s capable of repairing brain cells (neurons) and it is known to prevent age-related memory decline. It turns into acetylcholine in the brain which can help you with learning. Doctors often suggest it for stroke victims. Ginkgo biloba – A well-known herb that sends blood up to your brain and it could help with both short and long-term memory. It seems to help balance the various catecholamine neurotransmitters (dopamine, norepinephrine, adrenalin) as well as serotonin and cortisol levels. Taken together this can help revitalize a fading memory, reduce anxiety and improve your mood. Ashwagandha- This is known to help with thyroid function over time by raising thyroid hormone levels, but it can make you sleepy. Studies suggest that it’s a good choice if you have insomnia related to any brain injury, including TBI. For a more comprehensive list of brain-saving supplements, please sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll send you the extended version of this in a newsletter.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Salvaging Summer Fun During A Pandemic
Dear Joel, For the past several years, my husband and I have had the pleasure of spending two weeks with our two grandchildren, now ages 11 and 7 while my daughter and son-in-law vacation with friends. We live at the shore in Monmouth County, so most of our days were spent on the beach or at the pool in our gated community. Evenings were filled with all the wonderful festivals, fairs, and other activities the Jersey Shore has to offer. This year, because of the pandemic, my daughter and son-in-law will not be going on vacation but would still like to send the grandchildren to us. We would love to see them, but we are not comfortable going to crowded places such as the beach, boardwalks, etc., and our pool remains closed due to COVID concerns. We have no idea how to keep them occupied for two weeks while keeping all of us safe. We’re contemplating cancelling, but we don’t want to disappoint everyone. Do you have any suggestions as to how to make this work? Answer: It sounds like you’ve been making wonderful memories for you and your grandchildren, and it would be a shame not to make more. Even
at their tender ages, they are fully aware of the restrictions and limitations that COVID has placed on just about everything. Many of the activities you’ve done in the past can be done safely with some adjustments, such as avoiding the beach on weekends and going later in the day when it’s less crowded. Parks and playground are open for picnics and hikes, as well as zoos and aquariums with limited capacity. Board games, card games and puzzles are great evening entertainment along with cooking and grilling lunches and dinners together. Arts and crafts projects to bring home to Mom and Dad make it feel like summer camp. It may take a little more creativity on your part this year to keep them entertained but remember it’s not just about places to go and things to do. It’s about spending time together and making memories that will last a lifetime. They’ll never forget the Summer of 2020. Thank you for writing. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Child:
Continued From Page 1 of this situation.” He said apps and game systems were prime hunting grounds for child predators seeking victims. “Gaming platforms with voice and chat apps are particularly attractive for predators seeking to groom victims for exploitation.” Grewal also noted that children were vulnerable to social media and noted a recent case within the investigation of a predator allegedly soliciting sexual images through Snapchat. “Against this backdrop - and all times for that matter - there is no higher priority for all of us to protect our young people.” “With today’s announcement we are sending a clear message to all child predators and those who share child sexual abuse materials online that you may think you can hide behind the anonymity of the internet but we will find you and we will arrest you,” Grewal said. Previously, parents had been told by law enforcement to keep computers in a room where everyone could see what’s on the screen, but with the increased use of phones being used to view videos there is a challenge in younger children taking more self-produced sexually explicit material and sharing it. Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said, “one of the things we try to do in Ocean County with our own social media platforms is to educate parents. I think that’s an important component in making sure that parents know what apps to look for on children’s phones in making sure they stay vigilant.” “When we post information about Kik or Snapchat or any of these apps the kids are using, one of the areas we get the most comments on from parents is that they didn’t know to look for it. So we try to make sure that the graphics are clear and parents and guardians can look and see what they should be looking for on their children’s phones,” Billhimer added. “I’m a father as well and we do have a charging station at home and we do have the phones go on the kitchen counter every night. There is no reason why your children should have their phones in their rooms at night. We all have a responsibility here to protect our children and it starts at home,” he said. The operation contributing to the 21 arrests was led by the Division of Criminal Justice, New Jersey State Police, New Jersey Regional Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, U.S. Homeland Security Investigations, and nine County Prosecutors’ Offices. “Reports to our Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force of potential predatory conduct against children are up as much as 50 percent during the COVID emergency as homebound children, starved for outside contact, spend more time on their devices, and opportunistic sexual predators target them online,” said Attorney General Grewal. “We urge parents to be vigilant about the online activities of their children and warn children that the strangers they meet on popular social media sites, apps and gaming platforms may be out to harm them. We will continue to work overtime to arrest child predators and those who participate in the cruel exploitation of children by sharing child sexual abuse materials.” The ICAC Task Force has previously arrested child predators who used the following chat apps: Kik, Skout, Grindr, Whisper, Omegle,
Tinder, Chat Avenue, Chat Roulette, Wishbone, Live.ly, Musical.ly, Paltalk, Yubo, Hot or Not, Down, and Tumblr. Arrests also have been made involving the gaming apps Fortnite, Minecraft, and Discord. Grewal also urged parents to familiarize themselves with these and other apps and warn their children about sharing information with strangers. Colonel Patrick J. Callahan, Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police Col. Patrick J. Callahan said, “the State Police will continue to work with our law enforcement partners, and we will be unrelenting in our efforts to keep our children safe, but we cannot do it alone. We urge all parents and guardians to have conversations with your children about the dangers that exist on the internet and to closely monitor their online activity.” “Our relationship with ICAC has proved to be vital in protecting and safeguarding children from sexual predators. We will continue to collaborate with all of our law enforcement partners to do everything we can to root out those individuals that prey on our children,” Billhimer added.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 5 - sept 11
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): As this week unfolds, your popularity may grow and give you an opportunity to hook up with exciting people. You may be motivated to get ahead on the job and might successfully vie for a better position. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You might experience crossed wires when you try to communicate with loved ones or co-workers. In the upcoming week, you should be able to make a change if faced with a situation that doesn’t live up to your expectations. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Put your credit card back in your pocket during the first half of the week. It’s likely that an investment or something you want to buy won’t be as worthwhile as you think. Focus on meeting your goals. CANCER (June 21-July 22): With Venus in your sign, you might prefer peace at any cost, and you may be overly sensitive to perceived slights in the week to come. To avoid misunderstandings, keep your cool and don’t take anything personally. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Someone could say the magic word that unlocks your confidence. Once you are relatively assured that you’re doing the right thing, you can easily handle a financial issue. Try to rely on a consensus of peers in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the week to come, you may have opportunities to connect with people who can enrich your life. People who always honor promises will show their true colors even if there is a slight communication error. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Partners or loved
ones could get all the attention. You might be bothered or bewildered when someone misinterprets your well-intentioned kindnesses. Put your concerns and doubts aside in the upcoming week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Relationships could be fraught with intense emotional content, so it’s in your best interests to be logical and calm. Use objectivity and impartiality to deal with touchy or temperamental people in the week ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You might be challenged by adverse financial situations or a drain on your resources. You can overcome any problem by being open to new ways of handling things. Focus on being innovative as the week unfolds. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s usually only in fairy tales that fantasies come true. Keep your dreams and expectations grounded in the realm of the possible. Focus on being more realistic in the week ahead, especially when dealing with partners and loved ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): As this week goes by, you may notice a transition within your family unit. Perhaps a schedule change will make it easier to have family dinners together, or you can make a positive breakthrough with communications. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The ideas you toss back and forth with a companion might be impractical. Later in the week, a partner may present you with ways to accomplish what you envision. Concentrate on being honorable with financial obligations.
