this. The role of geography - Toms River as a waterfront community as noted in that prior column, was a reason. The waterfront was a place where people and ideas often revolutionary ideas - came and went.

But geography is just the beginning of the story as to why Toms River was

for independence. What people believed - their religion - and what people did - their occupation - played critical roles, too.

NJ And Religion In history, New Jersey is known as a “Restoration colony” - it came into being after the English Civil War when Charles

II came to the throne in 1660. The years of Puritanical control under Oliver Cromwell were over. After years of fighting, the monarchy was restored in England.

New Jersey was established as an English colony four years later in 1664. We were a private or “proprietary” colony.

New Jersey was divided into two parts and the proprietors of East and West Jersey made “Concessions” in the 1600s to attract settlers. The Concessions guaranteed self-government and individual liberties, and importantly, religious liberties. New Jersey (History - See Page 2)

Open Space Tax To Be On November Ballot

By Sydney Kennedy and Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – When Toms River voters take to the polls this November, they will decide whether to increase the Open Space Tax rate they pay.

Taxpayers currently pay 1.5 cents per $100 of equalized valuation. This is not what the house was purchased for, this is the tax assessor’s valuation of each property based on current market values.

For example, if your property is valued at $200,000, you are paying $30 per year toward the township’s Open Space Tax. In November, voters will decide whether to raise the tax by 1 cent to 2.5 cents per $100 of valuation.

“The residents have expressed concerns over shrinking open space in our township,” Councilman Matthew Lotano said at the first reading to adopt the ordinance that would put the question on the ballot.

Halloween Parade Returning In 2021

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Bring out your dead, put your fangs in, and get ready to howl at the moon – the Halloween Parade is back on the calendar.

Throughout 2020, a lot of our iconic gatherings suffered - the fireworks on the Toms River, the Ocean County Fair, concerts held by towns, and the Halloween Parade.

All of them were cancelled because of the coronavirus, hurting morale when people needed it the most.

This year, several of them have made a comeback, often with some changes due to the pandemic.

The parade is annually run by Toms River Fire Co. No. 1. Lt. Carl Weingroff told (Parade - See Page 9)

History:

Continued From Page 1 welcomed settlers of all nationalities and was hospitable to those persecuted in England, Scotland, and Ireland.

In this environment, Shrewsbury Township was created in 1693. Within 75 years, the lower half of it would be carved out by the creation of the Township of Stafford in 1749 and the Town of Dover (now Toms River) in 1767. The 1685 population estimate for Shrewsbury was 400.

In the area that would one day become Dover, the Quakers and Presbyterians were prominent. North of Shrewsbury, that area of Monmouth County (Ocean County was not created until 1850) was dominated by Anglicans - members of the Church of England.

An Official Religion For New Jersey?

In the second half of the eighteenth century, British policy in the colonies changed. The era of “salutary neglect” in which the mother country had a handsoff policy and let the colonists run their own affairs ended. With the end of the Seven Years’ War in which France lost its claims to Canada and areas west of the thirteen colonies, Great Britain was in great debt. But the debt was uneven: the per capita debt in England was 18 pounds, but in America only 18 schillings. Parliament thought it was time for the American colonists to pay their “fair share” for their defense. First came an imperial proclamation in 1763 forbidding any further western settlement beyond the original colonies. Britain wanted to keep the peace with the Native Americans. Next, in 1765, came the dreaded “Stamp Act” requiring stamps to be purchased and affixed to numerous legal documents, papers, publications - and even

playing dice. The Stamp Act was soon repealed, but unrest remained.

Soon after the Stamp Act’s repeal, in New Jersey, Anglican Bishop Landaff in Newark issued a controversial sermon calling for the appointment of American bishops (Anglicans) to deal with American “heathenism.” The Quakers and Scot Presbyterians who had fled Anglican persecution in their home country were worried. A latent fear of religious persecution grew as part of the cultural atmosphere of East Jersey.

The British saw the Calvinists (the Presbyterians) as the chief fomenters of trouble. In 1776, visiting New York, Ambrose Serle, an Englishman who served as an undersecretary to Lord Dartmouth, the secretary of state to the colonies, wrote to him complaining that the Calvinists had a “pretty strong Inclination to every sort of Democracy.” In 1777, he wrote that “When the war is over, there must be a great Reform established, ecclesiastical as well as civil; for though it has not been, it must be considered at Home. Presbyterianism is really at the Bottom of this whole Conspiracy.”

Religion For Those In Public Office The records of New Jersey’s General Assembly from 1760 to 1776 reveal that two Quakers from Shrewsbury served in the colonial legislature. Each county had two representatives in the Assembly.

They were elected by landowning men. From 1761 to 1768, Richard Lawrence, a landowner from Shrewsbury, was elected. He was a Quaker. From 1769 to 1771, Robert Hartshorne, a merchant from Shrewsbury, served. He too was a Quaker. When war came, he sided with the King. From 1763 to 1768, John Anderson, a landowner and innkeeper from Lower Freehold, served in elected office. He was Presbyterian. When war came, he sided with

the Patriots and was a member of the Committee of Correspondence which sent letters back and forth through the colonies in support of independence.

Two Baptists also served in the Assembly from Monmouth County.

The upper house - the Governor’s Council - were appointed. From 1760 to 1775, no Baptists served and only three Quakers and three Presbyterians served. 16 Anglicans served in this chamber.

When hostilities began, Toms River was the only shore village that supported the Whig war effort. The Whigs were a loose confederation of like-minded individuals who resented and resisted British policies in America. And it was in Toms River where the Quakers and Presbyterians were most prominent. While the Quakers were pacifists and generally opposed violence, New Jersey’s last appointed royal governor, William Franklin (Benjamin’s son and a devout Anglican) blamed the Presbyterians. Franklin said that the Presbyterians were misleading the people by stressing that the Revolution was a defense of religious liberty.

But for some, the Revolution was a religious matter: gambling and horse racing were discouraged. New Jersey’s most prominent Whig, our first elected state governor, William Livingston, a Presbyterian, proposed days of fasting and prayer.

The war brought a political revolution mixed with religion. Over 75 percent of county and provincial officials serving from 1770 to 1775 in New Jersey had left office after 1776 - royal officials, county judges, and town clerks. They were mostly Anglicans. The Presbyterians and others – Whigs - filled the void. The Anglican officeholders’ departure led to the end of English rule in New Jersey.

Politics And Farming And most Whig leaders were farmers. Here, other

than along the waterfront and trading, Toms River’s economy was agrarian. Unlike other places in New Jersey, there was no mining, no manufacturing.

Once inland, Dover Township was a vast wooded area of lumbering and farming. On the lower end of the economic sphere, such persons were more likely to be Whigs.

So, a trio of factors - religion, farming, the waterfront - led this area of colonial New Jersey to support the forthcoming effort to break away from Great Britain. In this volatile time, our town was created in 1767 - nine years before American independence was declared.

NEXT: Parliament’s Stamp Act lights the fuse bringing political crisis in New Jersey and in other colonies, and at this time of great uncertainty, the Town of Dover (today, Toms River) is created.

Aside from giving local businesses an opportunity to gain exposure, the event offers “a little bit of summer” to residents, who can enjoy summer treats like lemonade and ice cream, she said.

“It’s good to see people out and about,” Chief Chris Vicidomini of Toms River Volunteer Fire Company 1 said. The fire company fundraised by selling food, beer and wine.

The event featured a performance by students of The Music Academy of Toms River, two performances by Jersey Shore-based band Katfish Lucy and one performance by band New Power Soul.

“It’s just nice to be out in the open air,” Bill Yankowski, a Bayville resident, said upon strolling the street.

In 2015, Summer in the Streets replaced the New Jersey State Ice Cream Festival, transitioning the mid-July festival into a street festival-style event boasting dozens of vendors offering ample variety to attendees’ experiences.

The Downtown Toms River BID will hold numerous events in the near future. They will continue to hold Downtown Night Out, an outdoor dining experience on Washington Street, every Friday and Saturday evening until October 29. On August 11, they will co-host Cruisin’ Downtown Toms River with The Vintage Auto Club of Ocean County from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Their upcoming street festivals include the Chili and Comfort Food Festival on September 18 from noon to 6 p.m. on Washington Street and the Harvest Arts Festival on October 16 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Washington Street.

Tax:

Continued From Page 1 By voting to increase the rate of the Open Space Tax, the township’s budget to purchase open space will increase. The township has not yet confirmed precisely where they would like to purchase open space to preserve, but Mayor Maurice “Mo” B. Hill specified an interest in purchasing land in northwest Toms River because “that’s where most of the open space is left in town.”

“We certainly want to preserve property there,” he said of northwest Toms River.

Another concern of his is an upcoming round of COAH. COAH is the Counsel On Affordable Housing, a quasi-judicial body. A landmark lawsuit vs. the town of Mt. Laurel ended with the State deciding that towns must provide places for people to live who make less money. Mt. Laurel had, according to the lawsuit, zoned the town so that only rich people could live there.

Every town in New Jersey has gone through a few rounds of COAH. This means that every few years, COAH decides, based on a formula, that a town needs to set aside a certain number of units for low-to-moderate income homeowners.

Those in favor of COAH have said that it has provided more affordable housing.

Those against COAH have said that it takes self-rule away from towns, forces development, hurts the environment, and doesn’t really provide for “affordable” housing because the state’s definition of

The Toms River Times, July 24, 2021, Page 5 “affordable” is different than the average person’s.

With another round of COAH coming in a few years, Hill said preserving land now would limit how many developments could be put in. Every development comes with it a certain percentage of COAH units.

Another challenge is that if a town doesn’t want a development, the developer can sue in what’s called a “builder’s remedy lawsuit,” basically using COAH to push their project through.

Toms River voters first approved the Open Space Tax in 2000 and taxes began being collected in 2001. In 2018, Toms River residents voted against a referendum that would have doubled the Open Space Tax rate to 3 cents.

This year, Hill will approach dialogue surrounding the tax differently.

“We didn’t do a good job of explaining it,” he said of the 2018 referendum. Hill said he and the governing body will focus on sharing information regarding the tax with the public leading up to the election this fall.

Councilman Daniel Rodrick agreed with the measure, and also noted that the township should work with the county to purchase more open space. The county has its own open space tax on every property in the county and as such they have more buying power. Toms River officials responded that the township has partnered with the county on recent purchases and will continue to do so.

Voters will decide whether to increase Open Space Tax rate on November 2.

(Pictured L to R: Councilman Joshua Kopp, Councilwoman Maria Maruca, Councilwoman Laurie Huryk, (back row) Council President Kevin Geoghegan, Joseph Drago and family, Christopher Drago (front center), Officer Bridgette Badalis, Police Chief Mitch Little, Mayor Maurice Hill, Councilman Daniel Rodrick, Councilman Matthew Lotano, Councilman Terrance Turnbach.

By Alyssa Riccardi TOMS RIVER – The council presented lifesaving awards to a Toms River Police Officer and three good Samaritans after they all helped save an injured motorcyclist.

Mayor Maurice Hill and the Township Council honored Toms River Police Officer Bridgette Badalis and brothers Christopher and Joseph Drago at the July 13 meeting for their heroic actions.

A third Good Samaritan, Miguel Otero, was unable to attend the meeting.

On June 16, an accident occurred at the intersection of Route 70 and Whitesville Road between a car and motorcycle. As a result, the motorcyclist lost his leg in the crash.

Christopher Drago immediately called 911 to report the accident. Otero quickly gave aid to the injured motorcyclist by removing his own shirt to help control the bleeding on the victim’s leg. Joseph Drago also removed his belt and used it as a tourniquet on the victim’s leg.

When Officer Badalis arrived at the scene, she applied two tourniquets to the victim’s leg. While first responders lifted the injured motorcyclist onto a backboard, all three good Samaritans stayed to assist them and the victim was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center for further treatment.

“Officer Badalis, who started with the Toms River Police Department as a special officer in September, is commended for using her training and experience to save a person’s life. Without the quick response and critical life support rendered by these three Good Samaritans and Officer Badalis, a life would have been lost,” Mayor Hill said.

“The actions of Officer Badalis, Christopher, Joseph and Miguel were lifesaving, heroic and outstanding contributions to public safety in Toms River,” Council President Kevin Geoghegan said.

The tests are used to help detect neuromuscular abnormalities as well as Peripheral Neuropathy disorders.

When someone’s nerves become injured and/or damaged, either through accident, infection, or exposure to drugs they can develop neuropathic pain, or neuropathy.

Do you Suffer with Chronic Neuropathic Pain?

It’s estimated that in the United States, more than 20 million people have some form of neuropathic pain. There are many reasons why Neuropathy can become dangerous, if left untreated…

How is Neuropathy Diagnosed?

Neuropathic conditions are diagnosed through a neurological clinic examination utilizing medical technology known as nerve conduction velocity testing and Electromyography (EMG). These diagnostic tests measure muscle response and electrical activity in

Experiencing Neuropathy...

People with neuropathy can experience different levels of pain, from tingling and numbness to debilitating burning and shooting pains. For some, neuropathic pain affects sleep, social activities, and even cause depression. Most commonly, pain occurs in the hands

and feet, but it can also affect other areas of the body. Diagnosing Neuropathy can sometimes be strange…where this condition can develop even when there is no obvious cause, and it may appear some time after the initial injury or infection. To compound the problem, this pain can be challenging to treat successfully, and it is associated with some serious compromise to one’s quality of life.

How many treatments have you tried that left you hopeless?

Healthcare professionals may offer a variety of treatments, including antidepressants, opioid pain relievers, and lifestyle changes, but neuropathic pain can often be resistant to treatment.

To make matters even worse, these treatments can also come with unwanted side effects. For example, taking opioid pain relievers can cause nausea and constipation, and there is also the risk of these drugs becoming addictive.

WASHI NGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), and Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-La.) reintroduced the bipartisan Seniors Prescription Drug Relief Act to strengthen Medicare Part D and make it easier for seniors to afford their medication.

“Our bipartisan bill would put patients and consumers first by providing seniors with real financial relief at the pharmacy counter to ensure that those who rely on expensive medications aren’t saddled with insurmountable prescription drug bills at the start of every year,” said Sen. Menendez. “Setting a cap on out-of-pocket expenses allows seniors to prorate their share over the year

this law will ease the financial burdens of residents as prescription drug costs and inflation are on the rise.

“The rise in prescription drug costs has weighed heavily on our senior residents who live on fixed incomes and cannot afford

to live without their medications,” stated Senator Holzapfel. “We don’t want our residents to have to make the tough decision of paying for their prescription drugs or paying the electric bill this month. Now that this legislation is law it

will provide much needed aid to our most vulnerable residents.”

The bill, A-5520/S-3633, increases the income eligibility limits for PAAD program and Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program by $10,000. For PAAD

the limit would be increased to $38,769 for individuals and $45,270 for married couples. Senior Gold would rise to $48,769 for individuals and $55,270 for married couples.

“The swift passage of this legislation ensures that

Menendez: Legislation Will Cap Medication Bills For “Catastrophic Coverage”

into set monthly payments, giving them more f lexibility to cover their health care expenses. Policies like this, that deliver savings to the consumers, must be central to our continued work on making drugs more affordable for the American people.”

“If someone on Medicare cannot afford their medication, they are going to get sicker or not get better. This bill takes on the root causes of high drug prices because we want to make it easier for seniors to pay for their prescriptions,” said Sen. Cassidy.

For seniors, the bill establishes a new out-of-pocket cap on catastrophic coverage, so that beneficiaries

would have no costs after reaching $3,100 in out-ofpocket spending. Seniors who reach that limit early in the calendar year could spread their payments over the course of the year, to help those on fixed incomes or who would otherwise struggle to pay their entire obligation in a lump sum.

The bill would also reduce coinsurance from 25 to 20 percent in the initial coverage period, after patients meet their deductible but before they reach the catastrophic cap.

The Seniors Prescription Drug Relief Act would also redesign Medicare Part D’s benefit structure to realign these flawed incentives and lower the cost of prescrip-

tion drugs. Medicare Part D spending is growing substantially, especially in the benefit’s catastrophic phase, which begins once beneficiaries have spent more than $6,550 out-of-pocket. The legislation would also encourage plans to better negotiate for lower drug prices and better formulary placement, and ensure that when drug prices rise, so does the drug-maker’s financial responsibility.

Organization supporting the legislation include the Alliance for Aging Research and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

“Senators Cassidy and Menendez continue to provide critical leadership to ensure Medicare patients can afford and access needed care. The

Alliance for Aging Research thanks the Senators for their efforts to advance patient affordability in Medicare Part D through this bill,” said Alliance for Aging Research Vice President of Public Policy Michael Ward.

“The Seniors Prescription Drug Relief Act includes landmark reforms that would dramatically lower prescription drug costs Medicare patients experience far too often,” said The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Chief Medical Officer Dr. Gwen Nichols, M.D. “These reforms would limit upfront costs for patients who rely on costly prescription drugs and cap the amount enrollees pay over the course of the year - two changes that will

Future Uncertain For Ice Rink In Brick

By Chris Lundy BRICK – Will the Ocean Ice Palace close its doors for good, or is it just the owners who are retiring?

On July 6, the owners posted on social media “Ocean Ice Palace & Ocean Hockey Supply will be closing their doors at the end of this month.

We are extremely thankful to all the friends who have become family and customers who have become friends over the years. The decision was not made lightly and certainly not without being given much thought.” They said the pro shop would be open through the end of the month.

The Patch might have been the first to report on its closure, and 101.5 had a segment about it.

Everyone shared their memories of this iconic location.

However, a week later, The Patch reported that a confidential source close to the situation revealed that there is a possible purchase in the

works. The source said that the facility will continue to be used as an ice rink. The above post was removed from social media. Staff at the rink did not respond to a request for comment.

The rink, located on Chambersbridge Road, dates back to 1962. It was started by Dr. Leon J. Dwulet. His daughter, Joan Dwulet, currently owns it, and it’s managed by Raven (Joan’s daughter) and Andrew Barten.

The rink drew thousands of young people who learned how to skate there and also held pee wee hockey tournaments. Many high school and club championships were won there as well.

The Ice Palace was home to many of Brick’s youth and high school hockey teams for most of its history and has seen a number of its players go on to the college ranks and some go to the pros. The website said it hosts New Jersey Guardians, Manalapan Cannons, Brick Stars Challenger Hockey & War at the Shore Hockey

Tournament. It also cites tournaments, clinics and camps throughout the year run by Ocean Hockey Academy.

This isn’t the first time the ice rink’s future was unknown.

Even going back to 2007, it was in the public eye as possibly being bought by the township of Brick to be converted into a community center.

Former Councilman Stephen Acropolis, who comes from a huge hockey family, campaigned on it when he won the vote for mayor.

The town was looking to purchase it for $5.2 million. They had plans to put in therapy pools and sell the naming rights of the building.

There was talk of moving township offices in Civic Plaza to there and then selling the Plaza.

They were hoping to make money off of it in the long run.

Opponents of the purchase had concerns that the aging buildings would cost too much to

20,000 more residents can benefit from the changes made to this program,” said Senator Holzapfel. “As prescription drugs and the cost of living in New Jersey continues to rise, this law will provide some relief for those financially struggling.”

give a much-needed break to American seniors. Today, blood cancer patients on Medicare Part D often pay more than $3,000 for their first prescription of the year, with annual out-of-pocket costs sometimes higher than $15,000 for a single cancer therapy. Under the Seniors Prescription Drug Relief Act, these same patients would see their Part D costs reduced to less than $260 per month.

On behalf of the 1.3 million Americans living with a blood cancer diagnosis, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society applauds Senators Bill Cassidy and Bob Menendez for their leadership on this critical issue, and we urge Congress to pass these solutions this year.”

maintain or fix, and that building additions to the property to house various interests in Brick would cost untold millions. During the negotiation, the owner showed how much money is brought in, but the costs of upkeep and running the facility was kept from the town.

The purchase would have been between a private entity, the ice rink, and a public one, the township. This made the whole matter a lot more public than the sellers would have liked.

After a long time of waiting, the Dwulet family pulled out of negotiations and put it on the market but it never sold.

Ultimately, it reminded residents of the Foodtown purchase.

The Foodtown on Route 70 was bought in 2003 for $6.1 million and was at one time going to be a community center. It has sat there, without any money coming in on the tax rolls, until just recently when the property was split and sold.

Parade:

Continued From Page 1 JerseyShoreOnline that plans are being made for the big return.

The parade will be held on Saturday, October 30. The schedule follows the tradition that if Halloween falls on a Sunday, like it does this year, the parade will be on Saturday, with a rain date on Monday.

Registration will be on the day of the parade, he said. Participants will be following guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to slow the spread of coronavirus.

The theme of the parade will be the celebration of Fire Company No. 1’s 125th anniversary. The company was officially incorporated in 1896, although they had been operating for a few years prior to that.

They’ve been working out of the firehouse on Robbins Street since 1913.

The Toms River Times, July 24, 2021, Page 9 Earlier this year, there was another parade marking the 125th. This one was a smaller event which ended in a street festival with live music.

The Halloween parade is billed as the second largest in the world, and can have upwards of 6,000 viewers. The Downtown area is shut down and people compete for seats.

COVID-19 caused the fire company to cancel last year’s parade. They put out notice at around this time in 2020. With that many people swarming downtown, social distancing would have been impossible. This year, thanks to people getting vaccinated, more events like this one are being held.

There have only been three times in the history of the fire department that the parade had been cancelled. The first time was in the 1920s during the Great Depression.

The second time was due to Superstorm Sandy. The third was for the coronavirus.

TR Schools Get Schedule Change Due To Bus Driver Shortage

By Alyssa Riccardi TOMS RIVER – Five Toms River schools will be receiving a schedule change for the 2021-2022 school year due to a bus driver shortage, Interim Superintendent of Schools Thomas Gialanella announced.

As the district prepares to return to a full-day, five-day-a-week schedule in the fall, some adjustments had to be made in order for bussing to run smoothly.

“We continue to feel the effects of the pandemic, State Bill S-2 and a severe, nationwide bus driver shortage. As such, we must implement a change to our busing schedule that will impact several of our schools,” Gialanella wrote in a statement.

“Toms River Regional Schools has the largest board-owned bus f leet in New Jersey and for years we have operated on a four-tier schedule. While challenges have persisted over the past several years related to staffing, the department has worked tirelessly and efficiently to safely transport thousands of our students to and from school each day.”

Despite the districts widespread recruiting efforts, the Transportation Department currently has 29 fewer full-time drivers and 20 fewer substitute drivers on staff compared to the 2019-2020 school year.

As a result, the bus schedule has changed for the following schools for the 2021-2020 school year: Intermediate North: opening time 7:55 a.m.; closing time 2:15 p.m.

Intermediate South: opening time 8:40 a.m.; closing time 3 p.m.

Joseph A. Citta Elementary: opening time 8:40 a.m.; closing time 2:50 p.m.

Pine Beach Elementary: opening time 9:25 a.m.; closing time 3:35 p.m.

Beachwood Elementary: opening time

Page 21

9:25 a.m.; closing time 3:35 p.m.

“We recognize that these modifications may present several hardships that will force our staff and families to make unforeseen adjustments to their students and daily routines… We sincerely appreciate the flexibility of our entire community and thank you for your support,” Gialanella said.

‘Nurture by Nature’ Takes Root at Intermediate South TOMS RIVER – In 2018, Intermediate South was selected for the Whole School, Whole Child, Whole Community (WSCC) health grant from the NJ Department of Health and regional funder Em POWeR Somerset. The four-year project has enabled the school to create motivational posters and banners, transform its fitness room, host a U.S. Olympian and Nur turing Hear t Approach expert Frank Picone for keynote engagements, encourage water consumption for students and teachers, and provide Mental Health First Aid Training. Like many if not all school-based programs, the WSCC at Intermediate South struggled to regain its footing during the pandemic, but it now embarks on its biggest project yet.

Led by WSCC lead and Intermediate South counselor Betty Velez-Gimbel, Nuture by Nature is officially underway.

The project seeks to transform the Intermediate South courtyard into a green and blue space where students and staff will be able to immerse themselves in nature to assist with mental health management.

“This courtyard garden will be utilized to provide students with a safe and tranquil setting to manage stress and anxiety under the supervision of their guidance counselor, case worker, or teacher,” said Velez-Gimbel. “It is my hope that all will benefit from its beauty.”

Research shows that exposure to nature improves mental health, and the Nurture

by Nature project aligns perfectly with the district’s broader efforts to bring more attention to, and provide more tangible resources for, mental health.

While Velez-Gimbel and her staff will continue to provide the nurture, locally-sourced Twin Pond Farm will be providing the nature, and is in the process of delivering carefully-selected trees, shrubs, and f lowers to the school.

EmPOWeR Somerset was so impressed with the concept and the potential impact it will have on students that it agreed to send additional funding for the initial phase.

As it awaits its greenery, the school has wasted no time getting started, and has received helped from several organizations. Local Boy Scouts Troop 38 installed raised beds which were donated by the school’s Environmental Club with support from club advisor Mrs. Worth.

Scout leaders Bob Consoli and Kenny Seals, along with Scoutmaster Anthony Botts, helped orchestrate and implement the raised beds installation, which successfully took place last week.

Once the 2021-2022 school year gets underway, folks should expect the courtyard at Intermediate South to have a whole new look. Velez-Gimbel and her team are very hopeful that, in addition to its aesthetic features, it will serve as a safe haven for students to refresh, reinvigorate, and remove themselves from the hallway hustle and bustle and stress of the school year.

Around The Jersey Shore Resident Lands Internship With National Constitution Center

─Photo courtesy Washington College LAVALETTE – Lavallette resident Emily Homer earned a competitive summer internship with The National Constitution Center (NCC) in Philadelphia, PA. As an education intern, she is responsible for creating innovative and engaging educational materials to support NCC’s programs and initiatives. A private, nonprofit organization, the Center serves as America’s leading platform for constitutional education and debate, fulfilling its congressional charter “to disseminate information about the U.S. Constitution on a nonpartisan basis.”

Homer, a rising senior at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland is majoring in history with a minor in secondary educational studies. She obtained her internship through the Starr Center at Washington College’s Explore America Summer Internship program, which placed 27 students with prestigious cultural centers across America this year.

“I have already learned so much about the inner workings of a large institution and the processes behind the resources/tours they offer teachers, students, and the community.

There are so many interesting facts about U.S. constitutional history and constitution-

al interpretation, as well as ways to present that are engaging, appropriate, and interesting for learners of all ages,” said Homer.

The Starr Center at Washington College coordinates the Explore America Summer Internship program, which annually places more than two dozen students in full-time, paid positions at nationally prominent cultural institutions, including four different Smithsonian museums, the National Archives, the Library of Congress, and the National Park Service. Working with the internship hosts, the Starr Center arranges for spots to be held for Washington College students, who in turn are carefully selected through a competitive process that matches their interests and skills with special opportunities.

Students help research and plan major exhibitions, curate artifacts, develop educational programs, lead tours, and produce multimedia content. The program has a track record of converting internships into careers: many recipients have been hired by their internship supervisors, parlayed their experiences into jobs at similar institutions, or gone on to graduate study at leading universities in their chosen fields.

Inside The Law More Frequently Asked Living Will Questions

Marc S. Galella Esq.

By: Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates Question: Can I appoint more than one person to be my health care representative under my living will?

Answer: No. New Jersey law only allows the appointment of one person as a health care representative at a time. You cannot appoint co-health care representatives. However, you can name a person and then name alternates in the event the first person named cannot act. By way of example, you could name your spouse to be your health care representative and then one of your children to act as an alternate health care representative in the event your spouse is unable to function.

case of an emergency.

Question: Does preparing and signing a living will take away my right to make my own health care decisions?

Answer: No. A living will only takes effect at a time when two doctors, one of which is your primary care physician, state in writing that you are incapable of making competent decisions regarding your health care.

During the time that you are competent to make health care decisions, you, and only you, can make those decisions regardless of what is stated in your living will.

Question: Where should I keep my living will?

Answer: You should keep your living will someplace in your house where it is readily accessible to your family. I do not recommend keeping a living will in a safe deposit box at a bank or in a locked safe in your house.

Generally, banks are closed on nights and weekends and it will not be easily accessible in the event that your family needs to use it at one of those times.

If it is locked in a safe in your house, does your family have the combination to the safe to open it? I usually recommend you keep your living will someplace in your house that is readily accessible by your family. You should let your family know that you have a living will and where it can be found in

Question: If I move in to New Jersey from another state should I do a new living will in New Jersey?

I recommend that you prepare a new living will whenever you move from one state to another. The laws of each state may differ because there is no nationwide living will statute. The cost of preparing a living will is between $200-250. The cost of having a living will that is not accepted by the state in which you are now residing could result in the need for a medical guardianship proceeding which could run into the thousands of dollars.

To me, it is always better to prepare a new set of estate planning documents when relocating from another state rather than to run the risk that your existing documents may not be accepted in the state in which you now reside.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Potential Brain-Changing Benefits Of Hearing Aids

A fairly recent report published in Frontiers in Neuroscience (Feb. 2020) adds to a growing body of research connecting the use of hearing technology to benefits that go beyond the ability to hear. It further bolsters the importance of early hearing loss treatment for overall patient health.

Studies have long linked hearing loss and other conditions such as cognitive decline in older adults, with data showing evidence of…

• Accelerated brain shrinkage • Five-fold risk of dementia • Earlier onset of decline A University of Maryland study published in 2018 found that hearing aids not only improve auditory ability in seniors but also may restore cognitive and neural function. In the present study, researchers sought to better un-

derstand the source of neurocognitive deficits in presbycusis and the potential modifying effects of hearing technology. Twenty-eight adults with untreated mild to moderate hearing loss were fit with hearing aids and monitored for six months. The results from the experiment group after wearing hearing aids for six months confirmed gains in speech perception and cognitive performance. The outcomes of this study provide evidence that clinical intervention with well-fit digital hearing aids may promote more typical cortical organization and functioning and provide cognitive benefit.

Clearing Confusion About The Types Of Collagen

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

We as humans make our own collagen naturally by utilizing amino acids. Those amino acids (aka peptides) are the smaller particles that come from protein we eat.

We then string together all kinds of proteins that we need for our bodies. One of these proteins is collagen and we make it from glycine, proline, hydroxyproline and alanine.

Topical collagen peptides, like those sold in face creams, wound healing ointments and facial serums have a lot of clinical research to support their use in the dermal layer. Orally bioavailable collagen is not sold as a dietary supplement, although many people think it is. In other words, if you’re buying a “collagen supplement,” what you’re really taking are the 4 peptides that your body uses to string collagen together. Collagen itself will not survive through the stomach acid after you take it, so therefore it is not sold as a dietary supplement. You can boost collagen production in the body by taking dietary supplements of collagen peptides, as well as vitamin C which is required as a cofactor to drive the reaction.

There are patented, proprietary forms of collagen peptides that are clinically studied for benefits in the skin, and those can (and should) be taken orally. So become well informed when supplementing with collagen.

They are not all created equal. Some types of collagen are derived from cow hide, and some from fish scales and there are other sources too. Some types of collagen work

for joints, some work for wrinkles.

If you have brittle nails, thinning hair, fine lines, a loss of muscle mass, joint, tendon or ligament problems or even irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), it’s likely that you’re low in collagen, and probably several different types of collagen, but it’s hard to say. It’s not a given. Those issues could also be caused by a food allergens, various diseases, a deficiency in B vitamins or thyroid hormone, estrogen, testosterone or DHEA. Most women who take collagen are taking it for its beauty aspects. Keep in mind that there are only a few specific types of very tiny peptides that are recognized by your fibroblast cells in the dermal layer of your skin. If, and only if recognized, are your cells capable of being provoked to increase their own collagen metabolism. Of the 5 types of collagen, only Type I and III are useful in terms of beautifying your skin, hair and nails. Type II is for tendons, joints and ligaments.

Making sufficient amounts of collagen (or being young!) will significantly increase your skin’s moisture, resulting in noticeably firmer and smoother skin. In addition, the oral intake of collagen peptides supports healthy joints, flexibility, and cartilage. I take my own collagen peptides and suggest that you research the vast array of products on the market today to make sure it has the type you desire.

Around The Jersey Shore State Launches New App To Secure Vaccination Records

By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY – The State is launching a new app. The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) recently announced the launch of a new mobile app, “Docket,” which residents can download free from the Google Play/Android and Apple app stores.

The free app will provide residents that received their COVID-19 vaccination in the state of New Jersey an easy and convenient way to connect with their COVID-19 immunization records.

Gerry P. Little, a member of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners said, “we are certainly pleased to see that there is an easy solution for residents to access their records if they have lost their vaccination card.”

Commissioner Little is the liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “The Docket app is a great resource for people to have on their smartphone or mobile device to help them quickly and effortlessly access their COVID-19 immunization record within a matter of minutes,” he added.

The Docket app, approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), connects people directly to the New Jersey Immunization Information System (NJIIS). NJIIS securely captures an individual’s name, phone number, and demographic details at the time of immunization. This data will allow individuals who were vaccinated in the state of New Jersey to access their COVID-19 vaccina-

tion information almost instantaneously, through the app.

Those with an email or phone number on file with NJIIS can easily download a PDF copy of their COVID-19 vaccination. State residents who received their COVID-19 vaccine out-of-state may not be able to access their records through the app at this time. NJDOH is currently working on obtaining records for residents who were vaccinated in other states/ jurisdictions.

“The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) has been receiving plenty of calls from residents seeking guidance in regard to obtaining COVID-19 immunization records,” Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator/Health Officer said, He added, “the Docket app will be a great resource for our residents to access their records electronically.”

Residents still have the option of requesting their immunization records by visiting njiis.nj.gov and clicking on “Submit a Request” at the top of the page. All immunization records obtained this way will be mailed only; they cannot be emailed.

To download the Docket App from Google Play/Android, visit: play.google.com/ store/apps/details?id=com.foxhallwythe. docket.mobile To download the Docket App from the Apple store, visit: apps.apple.com/us/ app/dock et- organize - communicate/ id1117444284 For further information, visit ochd.org or call 732-341-9700.

Manasquan Inlet received notification through VHF channel 16 that a 58-yearold male passenger of a 60-foot Arrow yacht was experiencing shortness of breath.

The Sector Delaware Bay command center consulted with a Coast Guard f light surgeon and recommended that

Cataract surgery involves removing the eye’s clouded lens and replacing it with a clear synthetic version. Although it is one of the most common and successful procedures available today, it took centuries of progress to arrive at this point. “Couching,” the oldest traditional technique documented to treat cataracts, was first practiced in the 6th century B.C. by the Hindu surgeon Sushruta. The technique, which was later adopted from India by the Greeks and Romans, involved inserting a needle into the eye in an attempt to dislocate the lens. The goal was simply to push the lens out of the central axis so that it would no longer interfere with vision. In 1967, the introduction of “phacoemulsification” changed cataract surgery forever.

Cataract surgery is usually performed by an ophthalmologist on an outpatient basis, which means you don’t have to stay in the hospital after the surgery. Cataract surgery can be done traditionally using ultrasound energy to remove the cloudy lens or it can be removed with laser-assisted technology. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES at 732-349-5622. One of the reasons so many people trust us with their eye care needs is that we make a concerted effort to provide our patients with convenient options. We offer evening hours most nights of the week.

Around The Jersey Shore Rabid Raccoons Discovered In Point Pleasant

By Bob Vosseller POINT PLEASANT – The borough’s animal control officer reported a possible rabies epidemic with the discovery of rabid raccoons in the borough.

Animal Control Officer Muskrat Jack Animal Services, noted a possible rabies epidemic in raccoons within the after several raccoons tested positive for rabies.

How can you tell if an animal has rabies?

You can’t always tell if an animal has rabies by just looking at it - the only way to know for sure if an animal has rabies is to perform laboratory testing. However, animals with rabies may act strangely.

Some may be aggressive and try to bite you or other animals, or they may drool more than normal. (This is sometimes shown in movies as animals “foaming at the mouth.”)

Keep in mind, not all animals with rabies will be aggressive or drooling. Other animals may act timid or shy, and a wild animal might move slowly or act tame. You might be able to easily get close to it. Since that’s not the way wild animals usually act, you should remember that something could be

wrong. Some animals may not show any signs of having rabies. It’s important to leave wild animals alone, including baby animals.

Some unusual behaviors to look for include: • Staggering gait • An animal seemingly oblivious to noise or nearby movement • Erratic wandering • Discharge from eyes or mouth • Wet and matted hair on face • Repeated high-pitch vocalization • Self-mutilation Anyone who encounters a raccoon exhibiting this unusual behavior, should call the Point Pleasant Police Department immediately at 732-892-0060 so Animal Control can be dispatched to retrieve the raccoon.

Pet owners are encouraged to keep their dogs and cats up to date on all their vaccinations.

It is also encouraged to maintain property free of trash and use animal proof garbage cans to discourage animals from wandering around your property.

THESE CREAMY BARS ARE EASIER TO MAKE THAN A CLASSIC CHEESECAKE AND JUST AS DELICIOUS

By America’s Test Kitchen

Cheesecake is delicious, but baking a big traditional one can be tricky. You have to bake a large cheesecake inside another pan filled w ith water to make sure it bakes ev enly -- a f ussy and delicate maneuver in the oven.

Smaller cheesecake bars are just as delicious, with a crisp graham cracker crust and a tangy, custardy filling, and are much easier to make (no water bath required).

Plus, they are portable and easy to share, perfect for bake sales, parties or any occasion!
