By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Members of the Plunkett family were seated under a food tent table beside a large plate of butterf ly potatoes dripping with melted cheese. It was just one of the many treats you could acquire from one of several food trucks parked at Johnson Memorial Park.

The Food Trucks and

Fireworks event drew a large crowd seeking to have some fun and beat the heat. You could cool off with a large lemonade or ice cream cone, or enjoy a meal from any of the food trucks while listening to the varied tunes of Shorty Long and the Jersey Horns.

Carrying an umbrella to protect her from the sun was Sandy Levine

who joined her friend Jack Dear. Both are from Monroe Township and attended an event prior to venturing over to Jackson Township. They were enjoying the day and were on line for something to eat. “ Me r c e r C o u nt y had a festival kind of thing earlier today so we went there first,” Levine said.

“It is still going on. It had food trucks there, too, but I have to say that while there is a lot more food over there, the food trucks here are better. There is a lot more variety,” Dear said.

Jackson’s event offered up vendors with names like Thai Food, Fit C h ick s , Je r z ey Eatz, Pink Lemonade, (Food - See Page 2)

Lakehurst Naval Base Turns 100

By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – Sailor Govea Celestine, a log ist ics sp e cial ist seaman recruit, began her Navy career eight months ago, moving from Fort Worth, Texas to the Joint Base in the borough. She quickly realized she was working in a very historic place.

T h i s ye a r m a r k s the centen nial year fo r L a ke h u r s t a n d the Lakehurst Naval Base. This milestone was recently celebrated near the famous Hangar 1.

The facility’s place i n av iat ion h ist or y is well known as the ‘airship capitol of the world.’ Lakehu rst’s

tow n sy mbol is the airship and it is synony mous with the Hindenburg disaster that occu r red more t ha n eig ht de ca de s ago.

That tragedy, however, does not define a century’s worth of work and technological advancement.

The recent celebra-

tion featured speakers and concluding with a special cake cutting ceremony. There were helicopters and jets on display and attendees were invited to explore Hanger 1 and the various attractions present inside.

Also present were USO, Red Cross, food tent s, a nd m il it a r y

Schools Plan For Fall Reopening

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – With the graduation ceremonies now a memory, the school year has ended but the School Board and administrators are already looking toward the next year to start in a more traditional format.

With the State of Emergency Order having ended in New Jersey and other states, classrooms in Jackson are expected to look a bit more normal come September but officials will be looking at the health and safety conditions occurring regarding the COVID-19 pandemic including any cases of variant viruses.

During her superintendent’s report at the latest Board of Education meeting, Nicole Pormilli discussed the closing of the current school year.

“It was a wonderful closing. It was so beautiful and nice to see our students and our staff smiles.

For our high school graduations, we could not have asked for more beautiful weather. The fact that our graduates got to be outside with all of their family able to attend as if we had no protocols or any pandemic - it was fantastic,” she said.

“We were able to get in on the proms and activities that were outside for students. After a challenging 15 months, it was a lovely close to the school year. Thank you to our community, (School - See Page 4)

Residents Vent Frustrations At Council Meeting

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – During a Township Council meeting, residents said a website put the community in a bad light, questioned a regulation at a popular recreation spot, and praised the town budget.

During the public comment portion of the meeting, residents came up to the microphone and voiced their opinions about any issues that matter to them.

Resident Sheldon Hofstein commented “I

Jesse Kalapos, Joe and Shannon Plunkett and their daughter were all happy to be at the event as well. “We’ve lived in Jackson since the 1960s. We’re glad to be out here today,” Kalapos said.

The public event was sponsored by the Jackson Township and New Jersey Clean Communities that provided a lot of free items to familiarize residents and non-residents about what the group does. The activities included dancing, free giveaways, free admission and plenty of pyrotechnics at the conclusion of the event.

Present at the event were members of the Jackson Recycling which falls under the Township’s Department of Public Works.

Recycling Coordinator Irina Darrar was busy speaking with people about recycling and giving out mugs, stickers and other items to remind people about the importance of recycling at home and elsewhere.

Darrar said, “I took over this position in September 2020. We are launching a new app that will help our residents receive information and if there are any changes that come up. We are giving out recycling schedules and stickers and coffee mugs, children’s sunglasses and umbrellas. We are strongly supported by the administration.”

Nearby at the Clean Communities table was Recreation Director Joey Lyn Anderson and members of the Clean Communities committee including Constance Sidon and Kathy Sevcentko. In 2019, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) awarded $21.5 million in annual Clean Communities grants to help municipalities and counties conduct litter cleanups that improve the quality of life for residents of the state.

Sidon said Clean Communities provides “awareness of the importance of keeping your roads and streets and waterways clean. We run programs all year long where the kids go out and there are mini grants for Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts any 501(c)3 can apply for a $500 grant to clean up a miles worth of the roadway of litter and debris. It is great for their cause it is great for our cause.”

The nonprofit New Jersey Clean Communities Council administrates the reporting requirements for the program. Howell and Jackson townships received the largest grants in New Jersey in 2019 with Jackson receiving $119,496.

Andersen said this was one of the first live events since last December when the township held its Christmas Tree and Menorah lighting events in front of the township municipal building. “People are happy to be out and about again.”

She noted that Jackson Day would be returning in October at the same location as this event. “We’ll also have the Tree Lighting and Menorah lighting again and all of our same events.”

Next Year’s Plan Rotante said “there has been zero guidance from the Department of Education or the governor’s office regarding how to reopen. We sent a survey that had over 2,100 responses from parents regarding reopening school in September and we had a staff survey with over 800 responses.”

“We have had meetings with our district administration staff on the school level and staff faculty meetings and our administrative groups,” Rotante added.

He said the plan is to reopen all schools in September with a return to five full days of learning for all students operating under normal schedules. That includes having breakfast available and lunch sessions. “Masks will continue to be optional. Social distancing to the extent possible which is dictated by class size.”

among those goals was health and safety and to implement all the health protocols required by the State Department of Education. “We trained our teachers and staff on those procedures. Those goals were completed.”

Pormilli said that the school district’s plan that had been approved by the State had been revised as changes in safety protocols occurred.

“Those pivots were required due to changes in guidelines. Most importantly it was revised with synchronous learning because we had started with two separate programs and a lot of training was provided for that synchronous learning as well for our staff. Expensive training.

“Our staff and our students were trained on health protocols. Our nurses were trained by our nurse coordinator and the health screening was created and implemented for both students and staff and needed to be revised several times based on the health (case) numbers and travel advisories.

I feel that goal was met,” Pormilli added.

A regular goal each year involves curriculum and student achievement. Pormilli said, “this year we needed to create two unique programs very quickly before the doors opened in the school district. We created an in-person learning program and a full remote learning program. We had students that were full remote all the time with a teacher and we were very pleased with the outcome of that. We felt that was the best for student achievement and academic progress.”

Grants And Goals Pormilli announced that the school district would receive $8.3 million from the American Rescue Plan (ARP) which will be used to “address the challenges of the pandemic. That will certainly help us with our budget deficits from S2 (State Aid funding formula) and our overall $18 million cuts that we will have in our budget. That will help us but there are specific uses for that money and the district is planning to use that money to reduce class size, to provide interventions to our students, to provide support with mental health needs to our students and staff. We will also provide programs for students and families, some of which are happening this summer to help accelerate learning.”

In her presentation review, Pormilli said that

A Question Of Quality Education “Can you, speaking for the entire district, say, with all the challenges, we were able to provide sufficient education, quality education at the par of what would have been had there not been covid restrictions?” Board member Gus Acevedo asked Pormilli.

“I will say by all means we worked very hard last summer with our curriculum to take the big standards - the ones most important to ensure that a student is prepared in that grade level. We worked with our teachers before school opened with the two approaches - the hybrid and a remote academy approach - I do believe our students received high quality instruction from our teachers this year,” she responded.

Continued From Page 1 always thought the shortest span of time was when a traffic light turned green in New York City and the cabbie behind you honked his horn - but that has been surpassed by the timespan it takes for The Lakewood Scoop to have an accusation of bias towards Jackson and its residents.”

He noted that there had been a news report posted at that social media site about a rock breaking a window of a rabbi’s home in the township and that “The Lakewood Scoop called it a bias incident attributing it to Jackson residents whom he called anti-Orthodox.”

“This article was followed by comments from his usual anonymous sources accusing two Jackson residents,” Hofstein said adding that those commenting to the social media forum’s posts “never sign their names. As it turned out the culprit was a lawnmower kicking up a rock.

So instead of rewriting the article or retracting it, the same article was reprinted with a short update of the police report.”

The resident said the social media site has continually disparaged the township and its residents. “Where is the retraction? Where is the apology for this inaccurate article? Where is the apology to the two women that you attacked with vile comments? Have you no shame? You lack common courtesy and class.”

Attempts to reach the Scoop about this issue were not returned as of press time.

Resident Michael Zaleski questioned the council about the municipal code concerning sprinklers in recreation areas, “item number two of the code says bathing suits must be worn in the spray park area. I am curious as to what

The Jackson Times, July 17, 2021, Page 5 public health and safety issue is addressed by this requirement?”

He added the reason he asked was that his wife was there with his grandchildren and was asked to leave because she was not in a bathing suit. “It strikes me that this is a funny type of rule as not everyone has money to buy bathing suits and why would you want to disappoint little children?”

Township Attorney Gregory McGuckin said that the ordinance would have to be researched as to why that was included and when it was adopted. “I don’t know because I haven’t read that ordinance. I’d have to review it and find out when it was adopted and there may have been a reason. There may not have been a reason but we can find out.”

“People need to be dressed obviously but to say they have to wear bathing suits. My wife doesn’t wear a bathing suit in the pool. I don’t either, I wear shorts but my grandkids were running around on the playground and it got hot and my wife said cool off and were told no you can’t stay there because you are wearing clothes,” Zaleski added.

The spray park is located in the Justice Complex on Jackson Drive, just off West Veterans Highway. It is the only one in Jackson and chapter 304 of the township code does state that bathing suits must be worn.

The public portion of the meeting wasn’t all complaints about local items, though.

Resident Joseph Sullivan commended the mayor, finance department, Business Administrator Terence Wall and the council “on the excellent work you did on the budget and also passing the audit. I wish the state could learn from Jackson Township on how to properly put together a budget and keep within the budget.”

Base:

Continued From Page 1 “Mo” Hill spoke during the event along with Navy Lakehurst Historical Society President Carl “Mr. Lakehurst” Jablonski and Vice President Rick Zitarosa.

Command Senior Chief Jeffery Jones Jr. who served as master of ceremonies for the event introduced Captain William Sherrod. The captain, who will be concluding his time as the base’s commander, said, “thank you for being here - for coming to celebrate a centennial of service here at Lakehurst. It is a beautiful day for a birthday. We are here to ref lect on 100 years of our nation’s most unique military installation.”

He said the event honors “not only of what we’ve done here over the last century but of the evolution of a community. In the hangar behind us and the fields over here bore the spirit of innovation. Fearless aviators, engineers, craftsman and those who support, came, learned, lived, served and turned their eye to the heavens, had aspirations to f ly and touched the clouds. As we stand in the shadow of Hangar 1 we are joined by heroes.”

Captain Sherrod described Jablonski and Zitarosa as “true lamplighters of Lakehurst who keep the torch of knowledge and histor y alive for our community. They remind us of where we came from, not to relish in our past and the greatness that once was, but to find comfort and to help us understand the determination that is intrinsic in all of us as service members to serve our nation and our communities.”

“They built things to last back then.

Today, this hangar still serves the needs of the military. They train people on f light deck operations. It is a storage facilit y for air plane par ts. We have several display areas here,” Jablonski

said regarding the Society’s Museum.

“I am honored to be here having served as president for the last 25 years and as a member for roughly 35 years but I did not f ly on the Hindenburg. A lot of people ask me that question,” Jablonski added.

“Lakehurst was the Cape Canaveral of its day. The best and the brightest were sent here to learn and hone the technology of lighter than air, aircraft which was pretty much a European invention. The United States was going to use it to protect and project our interests. Airplanes couldn’t do the job at the time but giant airships could,” Zitarosa said.

He said Hangar 1 was, “a great physical example of the size and scale of the program. Unfortunately, there was a lot of losses but a great deal of heroism and a great deal of improvisation. Everyone remembers the Hindenburg disaster which to me is overhyped. It is the most famous but hardly the most important thing that happened here.”

“A great deal went on here before and after the Hindenburg. We like to say the Hindenburg disaster was the closing of the early chapters of what became Naval Air Station Lakehurst then Naval Engineer Station and now the Lakehurst portion of the Joint Base McGurie-Dix-Lakehurst,” Zitarosa said.

Commissioner Vicari presented the Centennial proclamation He noted that the American f lag, which was f lying beside f lags representing each military branch of the nation, including the newest, the U.S. Space Force, “represents the greatest nation in the history of the world.”

“We are one nation. We believe in something that is very, very important, human rights. No one can take that away. Your freedom is safe, you can do what you want. We have the most veterans living in Ocean County than

anywhere in the state of New Jersey.

We respect what you do, every day. We thank you for what you have done.”

Vicari noted Commissioner Virginia “Ginny” Haines who was present in the audience, “her mom was a nurse du r i ng the t i me of the Hi ndenbu rg serving those who were injured. We have to make sure that 100 years from today that the spirit of America will still be alive and we will still believe

in freedom and the spirit of the American dream.”

At the close of the ceremony per Navy tradition, the oldest person who served in the Navy joined the youngest which was Celestine, to cut the cake.

“When I was in school my teacher wou ld sh a r e w it h u s st or ie s ab out this base. I had no idea though what it would be like when I arrived. I am honored to be here,” she said.

$4M Provided For Mental Health, Substance Abuse For Lakewood Area From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. - A significant boost in federal funding is on its way to the greater Lakewood area to help combat substance addictions and mental illness, two conditions made worse during COVID-19 lockdowns, announced Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th).

“This $4 million federal grant comes at a crucial time for people who are struggling from addictions or facing mental illness in the northern Ocean County area,”

said Congressman Smith.

“For recovering addicts, COVID -19 has created added isolation, brought about by social distancing, extended quarantines and the closing of many mental health service offices during the pandemic. The programs funded by this grant will enable this local mental health organization to grow its outpatient mental health and addiction services in order to provide more help to even more people in need.”

The $4 million grant was awarded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It will pay for addiction services between Aug. 31, 2021 and Au-

gust 30, 2023. Provided via SAMHSA’s Mental Health & Substance Abuse Service (MHSAS) Grant program, the funding was awarded to Lakewood Community Service Corporation run by President Rabbi Moshe Z. Weisberg and Executive Director Sarah Gelbwachs.

Said Executive Director Gelbwachs, “Lakewood Community Services Corp.

(LCSC) has been awarded a grant from SAMHSA to expand its Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic - CCBHC. This program will expand access and increase the capacity of community mental health and substance abuse services through person- and family-centered integrated services. The impact of COVID-19 has exacerbated the need for behavioral health services and this CCBHC will fill that gap using a holistic model of care coordination

and wraparound services.”

The funding follows other grants boosting ongoing federal support in fighting addiction in NJ04 and across New Jersey, including a $4 million MHSAS grant to Preferred Behavioral Health Group in February to serve Ocean and Monmouth county residents, $2 million MHSAS grant awarded to Eatontown-based CPC Behavioral Healthcare and a $200,000 MHSAS grant awarded to CFC Loud N Clear Foundation in Howell in 2020.

Residents in need of addiction and mental health services for themselves, their families or loved ones, can visit providers websites for information about services, including: Preferred Behavioral Health Group, Lakewood Community Service Corporation, CPC Behavioral Healthcare or CFC Loud N Clear Foundation.

$30M Given To Address COVID Impacts On Postsecondary Students From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy and Secretary of Higher Education Dr. Brian Bridges announced the awardees of nearly $30 million in federal funding that will be distributed to New Jersey institutions of higher education to support the core priorities of the State Plan for Higher Education and address the impacts of COVID-19 on postsecondary students.

About $28.5 million in funding from the U.S. Depa r t ment of Educat ion, through the second round of Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) funding, will be awarded to 35 public and public-mission private institutions that receive state operating aid. These institutions will implement vetted best practices that increase college completion, address barriers to student success, and develop sustainable systemic reforms.

In addition, more than $1 million will be awarded to 11 public institutions to combat food insecurity among students.

“Our institutions of higher education have provided a high quality of education to our students throughout the pandemic, despite challenging circumstances,”

said Gover nor Mur phy.

“Supporting our institutions will continue to be a priority as they work to provide an equitable educational experience for students, prepare them for the jobs of the future and meet challenges ahead.”

“Through this critical federal funding, New Jersey is prioritizing students’ needs and ensuring our workforce will be ready to meet the challenges of tomor row’s post-pandemic economy,” said Secretary Bridges. “We appreciate that institutions are committing to this challenge and look forward to learning from the innovative best practices implemented, as we strive to meet the state’s goal of 65 percent of residents earning a high-quality credential by 2025.”

Opportunity Meets Innovation Challenge Grants A total of 35 institutions will be receiving $28.5 million in funding to support the launch of the “Opportunity Meets Innovation Challenge,” a competitive grant program to implement best practices and develop sustainable system-wide reforms as the state builds long-term resiliency.

In implementing these strategies, institutions will be focusing on students who are historically disadvantaged, including underrepresented minorities, low-income students, and working-age

adults. Many of these populations were among the hardest hit by the pandemic, which resulted in declines in enrollments, challenges to student success, and unprecedented unemployment figures.

Funding will help boost college completion and ensure a robust pipeline of talent is matched to workforce demands.

Institutions chose from a series of interventions ref lecting the five core priority areas of the State Plan: expanding opportunities for students to gain early college exposure; improving college affordability; fostering student success; promoting safe and inclusive learning environments; and cultivating research, innovation, and talent.

Through this funding, institutions will be embarking on projects including expanding dual enrollment programs to increase access and eliminate affordability barriers for low-income students; expanding wraparound supports to help encourage student retention by addressing barriers such as food insecurity or lack of childcare; and implementing free-of-cost bridge programs serving first-generation and Pell-eligible students as they transition from high school to college and/or from virtual to in-person learning. Other initiatives include expanding student mental health services and building peer mentor programs; and increasing student success in gateway courses, particularly math, to help reduce students’ cost and ensure success in Science, Technology, Education, and

Mathematics (STEM) fields.

Locally, Brookdale Community College received $374,460.02 and Georgian Court University received $200,000.

The number of awards were based on the quantity and quality of applications received.

Hunger-Free Campus Grant Program (About $1 million) More than $1 million in funding is supporting the goals of the “Hunger-Free Campus Act,” signed by Governor Murphy in 2019 to establish a grant program to address food insecurity among students enrolled at public institutions. Funding is only available to public institutions that received “Hunger-Free Campus” designation for meeting all requirements during the 2020-21 academic year.

Grant funding will be used to address student hunger, leverage more sustainable solutions to address basic food needs on campuses, raise awareness of currently-offered campus services, and continue building strategic partnerships at the local, state, and national levels to address food insecurity among students.

Locally, Kean University received $56,200.00 and Ocean County College received $79,317.56.

The number of awards were based on the quantity and quality of applications received. Additional institutions may not have received funding but obtained the “Hunger-Free Campus” designation for academic year 2020-21.

New Egypt Boy Scout Troop 109 Trusts For Minor Children Seeking New Members By: Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates

By Nico Ferriolo JACKSON – Do you love being outdoors?

Do you love camping and hanging out with your friends? Do you like learning new things in a fun way?

Well, I have just the thing for you. BSA Scouts, New Egypt Troop 109 is looking for new members to join BSA Scouts and be a part of our troop. BSA Scouts is a great way to learn life skills and how to be prepared for anything.

In BSA Scouts we have monthly camping trips with all of our troop members and we have lots of fun learning to cook, learn new skills and create friendships. During the school year, we meet every Monday at 7 pm and discuss different Scout activities.

We also use this meeting time to teach each other new things. This troop is a scout-lead

troop so all the scouts do the work and teach each other. The adults are involved to help and guide.

New Firehouse To Be Built

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Councilman Martin Flemming said the township had taken the first “baby steps in moving some property in one of our fire districts to allow us to build the first new firehouse in this town in just about 40 years. That firehouse will replace an out-of-date structure that is closer to 80 years old.

“Hopefully, we can continue to get this done and get some good fire protection for the township for many years to come,” the councilman added.

“I’d like to thank Council Vice President Flemming for all his work over the year to get this project where we are now for the firehouse,” Councilman Andrew Kern said.

Where parents have minor children, they often want to establish trusts in their Wills for the benefit of the minor children in the event that both parents should pass away. In such a case, the money is held in the trust for the benefit of the children. A person called the “trustee” is appointed by the Will to manage the trust on behalf of the children. Most trusts for the benefit of minor children allow the money to be used for their health, education, maintenance and support. The term “education” usually also refers to college education. There are several ways to go about doing this. The most common ways are the (1) common trust or (2) the separate trust.

In the common trust, all of the money is held until the youngest child reaches an age specified in the Will. Upon the youngest child reaching the specified age, the monies remaining in the trust are then distributed to all of the children.

In a separate trust, the assets are divided among the children and a separate trust is created for each child and each child receives their trust when the each reach the specified age.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? The advantage of the common trust is that the money is held until the youngest child reaches the specified age.

In this way, the trustee can use the money in the trust and if necessary spend more of the money in the trust on one child as

Marc S. Galella Esq.

opposed to the others.

As a parent, most people would be willing to spend everything they had on one child at the expense of the other children if that child required greater care than the other children. By using a common trust you give the trustee the flexibility to do this The drawback to the common trust is that the older children will have to wait a longer period of time to receive their share of the inheritance depending upon the age of the youngest child. This could be a disadvantage if there is a significant age difference between the youngest and oldest child.

The advantage of the separate trust is that each child will receive their share of the estate when they reach the specified age. This means that the older children do not have to wait for their inheritance until the youngest child reaches the specified age The drawback to the separate trust is the trustee can only use the money in that individual child’s trust for the care of that child. If one child requires significantly more care than the other children, the trustee is limited to the amount of money in that child’s trust and cannot use the money in the other trusts.

Which trust is better for you for your is something to be discussed with your estate planning attorney when making up your Will.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Jackson Day 2021 Coming This October

JACKSON – Jackson Day 2021 has been scheduled for October 2 from 12 to 6 p.m.

This year’s Jackson Day Committee is looking for parade participants, food, merchandise, game, information vendors, crafters and flea market vendors.

They are planning a fun filled day with rides, organized sporting competitions, car show, beer & wine garden, parade, all day entertainment, touch a truck and much more.

This year’s entertainment will feature: Total Soul. Total Soul is New York City’s most exciting band. They perform with the flair of a well-rehearsed show band, complete with front line choreography, exciting lead singers, hot horns and a groovin’ rhythm section. Total Soul ranges in size from 8 to 13 pieces, and is a completely live band with “live musicians” as opposed to computerized or karaoke-type background tracks that many bands feel the need to use. The energy that you experience from a completely “live” band is unmistakable. Total Souls music includes a mix of four-part vocal harmony. Their vocal front line will mesmerize audiences with slick dance moves and smooth harmonies.

Also performing is Uptown Band: The

exhilarating musical synergy The Uptown Band has created with audiences in their home region of the northeast and beyond continues to grow. Since 2006, they have been an award-winning premier choice as the featured act at almost 2000 shows.

For over 15 years, The Uptown Band has earned a solid reputation as one of the country’s most versatile and respected live bands.

Recently, they were the band of choice at the real-life fairy-tale wedding which featured Disney Legend and original voice of The Little Mermaid, Jodi Benson. The wedding video became a viral sensation with over 20 million views with The Uptown Band having a front seat to this One-of-a-Kind performance.

The group was also selected to be the featured entertainment at the first-ever “Socially-Distanced” wedding in the State of Pennsylvania at the legendary Sunnybrook Ballroom in Pottstown, PA. For parade information and to participate email: mbasso@jacksontwpnj.net.

To become a vendor email: ksevcenko@ jacksontwpnj.net. If your organization would like to host an organized sporting event, contact Joeylynn Anderson at janderson@jacksontwpnj.net

Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

The Link Between Age-Related Hearing Loss & Cognition

An estimated 48 million Americans have some form of hearing loss according to a John’s Hopkins Study. If left untreated, this common, chronic health challenge can heavily impact physical, mental, social and even financial health.

Though most instances of hearing loss are treatable, the NIDCD reports that fewer than 30% of adults ages 70 and older who could be helped with hearing aids use them. Usage drops even lower – to an estimated 16% - among Americans ages 20-69.

In a fairly recent longitudinal study of 7385 adults 50 years of older in a community setting in the United Kingdom, the following conclusions were made: Hear ing loss was associated with cognitive impairment, with the association being stronger in moderate to severe hearing loss compared to mild hearing loss.

The respondents who used hearing aids showed no evidence of an association between hearing loss and cognition.

An indirect association was found between hearing loss and social isolation only in those who did not use hearing aids.

The main recommendation is that folks older than 50 years of age should have a complete hearing test to establish a baseline either by primary care physicians, audiologists and/or ENTs. Since a large percentage of PCPs failed to accurately screen for hearing loss, Dr. Izzy strongly recommends having a baseline audiological evaluation performed by a board-certified audiologist.

Dr. Izzy has been providing hearing care services for over 30 years and has offices in Toms River, Manahawkin, and Whiting. He can be reached at 732-8183610 or ikirsh@gardenstatehearing.com.

Natural Treatment Options For Occasional Anxiety

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

It’s summer and people that I know are still battling some type of anxiety, whether it’s from travel stress, flying, the idea of the delta strain, or something stressful going on with your family.

Whatever it is, there are some natural ways to conquer anxiety and boost mood.

First off, do not feel alone, millions of people are anxious over something. I’ll tell you one of my issues, it’s driving on big highways with other cars, and I assume that when they fly past me, they are texting.

In fact, I assume pretty much everyone is distracted except for me and so I usually GPS the slower roads! I have been this way for years, and there’s no amount of lavender that helps me! But for other anxieties, there is help and today’s article will lend insight into some natural remedies.

Here are some symptoms of anxiety, which you may relate to, depending on the day, and the severity of your condition: Sweaty palms, rapid heartbeat, a feeling of impending doom, trembling or shaking, dry mouth, GI symptoms, and inability to think of anything else other than the perceived danger at hand. Some people also experience insomnia. Furthermore, hypertension, gastric ulcers and depression are also associated with prolonged anxiety. Finding the root cause, or the root person that causes your anxiety is key to getting well.

For some simple anxiety-producing situations, you can look into the following nutrients, but if your conditions is serious, you must see a qualified specialist.

Vitamin B1: Thiamine or B1 helps you produce and release serotonin and norepinephrine which reduce mental fatigue and improve physical energy. If you like to drink wine, you are sure to be deficient in this nutrient.

Vitamin B2: Riboflavin or B2 helps your adrenal glands which secrete DHEA and cortisol, and these hormones must remain in proper homeostasis in order for you to cope.

Probiotics: The friendly gut bugs help you activate thyroid hormone, which has been proven in some studies to work even better than traditional antidepressants in some people! We know that a reduction in probiotics can indirectly cause profound anxiety and depression.

Zinc: This mineral has a very calming effect on the body, perhaps it helps with the COMT gene that some people have and it is relaxing to most people.

Exercise: Few things work better than a run, or a trip to the gym. Physical activity is known to raise dopamine immediately.

Herbs: There are many herbs that can help you if you like herbal teas, or herbal supplements. Among the best are chamomile, lavender, lemon balm, ashwagandha, catnip and valerian.

Conventional medical wisdom has programmed us to believe that sedatives, and addictive medications are the answer to anxiety, but that’s not necessary for everyone. If you’d like to read the more comprehensive version of this article, please sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

Around The Jersey Shore Local Golf Outing Will Benefit Homeless Veterans

TOMS RIVER – Just Believe Inc., a non-profit that helps the homeless in Ocean County, will be hosting their First Annual Golf Outing Benefiting Homeless Veterans on August 9 at the Trump National Golf Club in Colts Neck.

Registration and lunch will be from 11 to 12:30 p.m. Shotgun start at 1 p.m. The cocktail reception and silent auction will begin at 6 p.m. If you’re not a golfer, separate tickets can be purchased for the reception and auction.

Every winter, Just Believe Inc. works with County officials to coordinate their Code Blue program. When the temperature drops below a certain point, the Code Blue program will move homeless individuals into a transitional facility.

“This past winter we assisted 171 different homeless individuals, which allowed us to move 25 of them into permanent housing and an additional 49 individuals with men-

tal health & addiction needs into a detox/ rehab mental facility and eventually into a permanent housing situation,” Executive Director Paul Hulse said.

The Golf Outing will be raising funds towards a permanent facility where the organization can help homeless veterans and all homeless year round move from being homeless into a permanent home. The new transitional facility will get homeless individuals off the streets and allow them to stay 30 to 60 days depending if a mental health or addiction needs to be treated. Then they will be transitioned into a permanent home.

Rates are: $500 per golfer; $2,000 for a foursome. The cocktail dinner reception is $150 per guest and $300 per couple.

Anyone wishing to participate in the outing, or would like to purchase a sponsorship should contact Theresa Mondella at 732-904-0257. To learn more about Just Believe’s mission go to justbelieveinc.org.

OCC Athletics To Launch Men’s Volleyball Program

TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County College Athletics Department has been awarded a grant from the NJCAA Foundation and First Point Volleyball Foundation to launch a men’s volleyball program. The grant will support the addition of men’s volleyball to the Vikings’ sports programs, beginning in the spring of 2023.

“We’re very excited to offer OCC student-ath-

letes the opportunity to compete in men’s volleyball at the collegiate level,” said Ilene Cohen, OCC’s executive director of Athletics.

“To that end, we’re extremely grateful for the $10,000 grant from the NJCAA Foundation and First Point Volleyball Foundation that will help us to launch this program as we continue to grow the sport in this state.”

In May, the NJCAA, in collaboration with

First Point Volleyball Foundation, announced a $200,000 grant to support the growth of men’s volleyball as an emerging sport within the Association. The NJCAA Foundation awarded grants to 15 member colleges, including OCC, to support men’s volleyball becoming a full NJCAA championship sport.

“As one of 19 First Point Foundation board members, I can say we are so proud to be able

to support the NJCAA and these 15 institutions starting men’s volleyball,” said Mick Haley, First Point Volleyball Foundation volunteer board member and AVCA Hall of Famer.

A former men’s volleyball coach at Kellogg Community College (MI), Haley led the program to four NJCAA national championships (back when the sport was sponsored) before stints as head women’s coach at the University of Texas, University of Southern California, and the 2000 US Women’s Olympic Team in Sydney.

“Two-year colleges present the most affordable opportunity for young people to play college volleyball during a time when students want to stay closer to home,” Haley continued.

“Our hope at First Point is to see 35 or 40 more two-year colleges follow these 15 and sponsor men’s volleyball.”

With 12 high schools in Ocean County offering boys’ volleyball teams, the addition of this program at OCC will provide the opportunity for those athletes to continue to compete and will encourage those who have held an interest in the sport to consider attending Ocean County College.

“The ability to create more opportunities for student-athletes to compete in college and take part in a growing sport is one of the ultimate wins the NJCAA Foundation can achieve,” said Brian Luckett, executive director of the NJCAA Foundation. “We are appreciative of First Point Volleyball Foundation for making this possible and the NJCAA member colleges who have stepped up to make history by bringing back men’s volleyball to the association.”

First Point Volleyball Foundation is taking men’s volleyball participation to unprecedented heights, creating opportunities for young men to develop as players and as individuals.

“As we work to prepare for the Tokyo Olympic Games, all of us at USA Volleyball are excited by this awesome news of 15 newly announced men’s collegiate volleyball programs at twoyear colleges,” said John Speraw, founder and volunteer chairman of the First Point Volleyball Foundation, and head coach of the US Men’s National Team and UCLA Men’s Volleyball.

“I suspect it won’t be long before an NJCAA athlete will play for Team USA,” Speraw added. “I want to personally thank all the donors to First Point Volleyball Foundation, past and future, for making these grants possible.”

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jul 17 - jul 23

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are likely happiest with a congenial companion by your side whether you are working, running errands or spending time on a hobby. Get plenty of fresh air, exercise and sunshine next week.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Focus on keeping an open and alert mind during the upcoming week. Someone might harbor a personal agenda that’s obscured from your view. Find out who profits the most from impending changes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Listen carefully to the people who encourage you to do your best this week. It may be difficult to find time to spend with someone you want to know better when too many others compete for your attention.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Turn away from worries and turn back the hands of time.

As the week unfolds, evolving situations could give you a chance to feel like a kid again or remind you of the enthusiasms of your younger days.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may realize that you must commit yourself heart and soul to a cause, your business or a person.

You will probably receive plenty of public attention for your loyalty and persistence in the week ahead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep empathy in your mind, as it can improve a relationship.

Exerting a bit of extra effort during the upcoming week should keep your reputation shiny, and people will likely hold you in high regard.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A new friend might open your eyes to a fresh assortment of possibilities. Friendly flirtations might tweak your interest in the upcoming week, or joining a club or group could propel you into new activities.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): To everything there is a season, so stay with your goals. In the week ahead, you may have the opportunity to exercise your creativity, revive an interest in a hobby from the past or revisit childhood haunts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A thing of real value might arrive at your doorstep. Simple conversations with family members can add to your knowledge of business tactics that you can apply to your job in the week to come.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Making business connections and attending social functions may seem important. You’ll know just how to put a favorable spin on a moneymaking idea and present it to an interested party in the week ahead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might meet someone who is rough and ready or who rocks your world. You may not need to be a paragon of political correctness or exude etiquette to get along with others in the week to come.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You might believe in dreams and rely on intuitions that defy logic. If you hold fast to your ideals and principles in the week ahead you shouldn’t make mistakes or regret your beliefs.

By America’s Test Kitchen

WHOLE-WHEAT RASPBERRY MUFFINS Makes 12 muffins

Vegetable oil spray 3 cups whole wheat flour 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 large eggs 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 cup sugar plus 2 tablespoons sugar, measured separately 1 1/4 cups buttermilk 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries (do not thaw if frozen) 1. Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin, including the top, with vegetable oil spray.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking

powder, baking soda and salt.

3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, oil and 1 cup sugar until combined. Add buttermilk and vanilla to the sugar mixture and whisk until well combined.

4. Add the flour mixture and use a rubber spatula to gently stir until just combined and no dry flour is visible. Gently stir raspberries into batter. Do not overmix.

5. Spray a 1/3 cup dry measuring cup with vegetable oil spray. Use the greased measuring cup to divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar evenly over the batter.
