Ocean County Memorial Day Parade Returns

By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – A f t e r a t wo -ye a r h iat u s due t o t he COVID-19 pandemic, the Ocean County Memorial Day Parade returned to the streets of Toms River.

The parade, sponsored by the George P. Vanderveer American Legion Post 129,

kicked off Memorial Day morning with participants gathered at the Toms River Shopping Center on Route 37. Va r ious g roups marched south on Main Street (Route 166) and then moved east onto Washington Street for the event.

Among those who participated in the parade

were local high school marching bands, several military vehicles, first responders, elected officials, civic groups and vintage cars.

Township Council meeting.

Police Chief Robert Dolan accepted the proclamation from the mayor for Police Appreciation Week which ran from May 11 to May 17. Robert Baran, the township director of emergency services, accepted the proclamation for National EMS Week.

“The Manchester Police Department goes beyond the call of duty in serving the residents of our township,” Mayor Hudak said while reading the proclamation. “The good deeds performed by police officers every single day are deserving of our support, appreciation and encouragement for the challenges they face daily. Law enforcement officers play an important role in safeguarding the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution and through constant application of new procedures and techniques, our officers become more efficient in the enforcement of our laws.”

President John Kennedy proclaimed May 15, 1962 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and that week as National Police Week, in special recognition of law enforcement officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.

“Emergency Medical Services are a vital public service and provide lifesaving care to those in need 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Hudak said while reading the EMS Week proclamation.

“The members of emergency medical service teams, whether career or volunteer, engage in thousands of hours of specialized training and continuing education to enhance their life-saving skills.”

Also honored were two Girl Scouts who recentThe General’s

ly received their Gold Award. This is the highest achievement in Girl Scouting. This award is presented to fewer than 6% of high school Girl Scouts annually.

Marley Petti brought along her service dog during the session as her project involved service dogs. She realized most individuals don’t know the basics about service dogs and how to behave around them.

By giving speeches, creating a Girl Scout fun patch program, writing a coloring book and maintaining an Instagram account, she was able to educate people about the jobs service dogs perform and how they differ from emotional support animals in how people should behave around service dogs and their handlers.

The issue is important to her as handlers and their dogs are put at risk every day by well meaning people who try to pet or interact with dogs who are working. Marley’s project also highlighted the fact that not all disabilities are visible, as many people believe, and sometimes those with service dogs don’t have an obvious physical disability.

Marley wants people to understand that a service animal should be considered as a piece of adaptive equipment just as you would consider a wheelchair or hearing aid. The proclamation noted “they are there to help a disabled person go about their day and lead a normal life.”

The second Gold Award Girl Scout recipient recognized with a proclamation was Callie Rommel, whose project involved a sensory experience and the sensory needs of special needs pre-kindergarten students. In the fall of 2019, Callie was completing her silver award at Ridgeway Elementary School and recognized a need for sensory materials in a new pre-kin-

Continued From Page 1 School wrote a letter on his behalf as part of a school assignment.

“Lo and behold, the perfect adopter, Patricia Quintin, saw the letter and knew she had to adopt Boris,” Middle School teacher Kristine LaPorte said.

She added that the student, his teacher, the adopter, and Boris all met up for the adoption. “This assignment was part of the All Fur Education initiative and is a perfect example of engaging students and helping them realize the power of empathy and a little creative writing,” LaPorte said.

LaPorte initiated the partnership through a proposal made to the school district which brings together students with the Toms River based pet adoption agency.

The partnership provides a means to engage students and to also meet curriculum standards.

In March, members of the Impact Club at the Manchester Middle School and Ridgeway School held a fundraiser that raised $452.29 for AFO. That money was used toward the rescue effort and care of a group of abandoned kittens.

Ridgeway teacher Robyn Palmer said, “my third graders were excited to take on the personalities of these animals in the hopes to get them adopted. When we found out Kyle’s writing helped to get Boris adopted, my students learned that their writing really could make a difference.”

“This project gave meaning to the art of writing for my students and proved to be a

The Manchester Times, June 4, 2022, Page 5 meaningful experience. We look forward to sharing more writing in the future about the animals at All Fur One, and hope that more animals can find their ‘furever’ home,” Palmer added. Palmer’s whole class wrote letters about the cats.

Allie Whitehouse is the president of All Fur One which assists with dogs being adopted as well as cats. “The Manchester School partnership and education initiative, All Fur Education, could not have been possible without Kristine LaPorte.

She is an amazing teacher and AFO volunteer. It was her brainchild and she was responsible for this whole amazing program that we hope will one day expand to other districts,” Whitehouse said.

“All Fur One was founded in 2018 by a group of professional women with a passion for animal welfare. Our mission is to create a community focused, pet adoption center run by like-minded volunteers with a passion for rescuing dogs and cats,” Whitehouse added. “AFO strives to reduce the homeless pet population by forming collaborative partnerships with shelters in underserved areas to offer transport, safety and long-term assistance to rescued pets and their future adoptive families.”

She told the story of Boris, who came to them in January of 2020. “He was found, along with his mother, by one of our volunteers near Island Beach State Park. At the time he was about six months old and both were terrified. It took a while for them to adjust to living inside with humans but thanks to his wonderful foster mom - who was the same person that found them - they

adjusted very well.

“They became loving cats, still a bit shy but not the same terrified cats that had once lived outside alone. Black cats are always harder to adopt and of course, with Boris not being a kitten anymore and needing some time to adjust to a new home it was difficult finding him a forever home,” Whitehouse said.

She added, “we are so thankful that Kyle picked Boris to write his essay about.

Without it, Boris would still be waiting for his forever home.

“There is a big problem in our area with stray and abandoned animals, mostly cats.

Many of what the public calls feral were once house pets that were either lost or abandoned by their owners. If they were unaltered, they create even more homeless cats and an endless cycle of new generations,” she said.

How To Help “We get multiple calls and emails daily asking for help with stray cats and kittens or rehoming of their pets. All rescues wish they could help more and not have to turn people away but we are all non-profits with no funding from local or state government, relying solely on donations and volunteers,” Whitehouse said. “Most rescues desperately need volunteers, fosters and community members that are willing to help with the stray issue and not just ignore it or pass it on to someone else to take care of. Boris and his mother, Natasha, were some of the lucky ones.”

“His foster stopped and helped them,

she trapped them and offered them a safe place for them to stay until they found a home,” she said.

Whitehouse said, “AFO is thankful for all our volunteers, supporters, and adopters. We could not be on this amazing, and sometimes heartbreaking, animal rescue journey without them. You can learn more about AFO and how we approach animal welfare on our website allfurone.org.”

Whitehouse’s email address is Allie@ allfurone.org and the organization gladly accepts donations of money as well as food. Their address for rescues is 1747 Hooper Avenue, Ste 11 Silverton, Toms River and their facility is located in Anchorage Square behind the 7-Eleven off Hooper Avenue, Toms River.

Clean Communities The Borough Council appointed Amy Lowe as the Clean Communities Coordinator and as the Recycling Coordinator.

Lakehurst participates in New Jersey’s Clean Communities Program, which is a comprehensive, statewide litter-abatement program. In order to participate in the Clean Communities Program, the Borough must designate a Clean Communities Coordinator.

Lowe has completed the training program developed by the New Jersey Clean Communities Council and is certified as a Clean Communities Coordinator. She was appointed to ensure that all Clean Communities funding is spent in compliance and that all program requirements are met for the Borough.

In Lowe’s other role per the Mandatory Source Separation and Recycling Act, the Borough has established a recycling fund from which tonnage grants may be made to municipalities in order to encourage local source separation and recycling programs.

The Borough must adhere to a state Recycling Act to use any tonnage grants to develop new municipal recycling programs and to continue and expand programs and apply for tonnage grants, including, but not limited to, making and keeping accurate verifi able records of materials collected and claimed by the municipality.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

e DitoriAl Maybe We All Need A Mental Health Checkup May was Mental Health Awareness month and along with eliminating the stigma of those suffering from forms of mental illness, we as a society appear to be in desperate need of a mental health checkup.

Why do I say this? Well, it does seem, and perhaps understandably so, that we are getting more and more frustrated, scared and definitely angry. Our patience is shot.

We’ve been enduring three years of the pandemic complete with variants, continued political polarization, gotten into social media squabbles that have taken up way too much of our time, watched mass shootings on the news, a continuing war toward a nation of innocent people by a global goliath ruled by a vile dictator, high gas prices, high food prices, questionable decisions by political figures in power, shortage of workers, shortage of certain products and much more.

Maybe we are reaching the breaking point based on a few recent observations of my own.

Last month within the span of two weeks I witnessed two scary incidents inside a grocery store and a pharmacy that could have turned violent.

The grocery story incident where I went to pick up two items on the honey-do list involved my walking in and observing a customer berating a cashier who was yelling back.

Everyone was watching but we assumed it would calm down momentarily. We were wrong.

I went to my first stop and overheard the F bomb from three rows away. By the time I hit the self-check area having located my second item, both the worker and customer were gone but a manager had been summoned to the front of the store over the loud speaker.

Only a week later I’m checking out a couple of items at a local pharmacy and I find myself in close proximity to a verbal exchange between a customer and a cashier. The customer seems belligerent but the cashier is not diffusing the matter and is clearly using a condescending tone and escalating the issue. As to who is right or wrong is irrelevant. It is just getting worse.

I actually wondered while in line as the next customer, where

this will end up and what happens if it turns physical because it certainly seemed like it might and either one could be responsible for the first blow.

The cashier ends up cursing under his breath, turns to another worker and says he’s done, and he apparently quits and storms off out the door.

The customer is still upset and as he heads out the door and continues yelling at the cashier.

The replacement cashier who took my items agreed with me that they were both wrong and remarked that the worker was going through a bad time. This was probably the last straw. She contacted the manager noting that they probably just lost a worker.

More recently, my wife was driving on Route 37. An ambulance was approaching with its lights on and siren blaring, so she pulls over to clear room for their passing. The driver behind her is making that impossible but she ends up doing it and the driver slows down and tosses a plastic water bottle at my wife’s car. Wow! Someone tosses an object at you for doing the right thing and delaying someone by a few seconds.

Sure, things happen. People lose their tempers. We’re human and people do stupid things but are we losing it in greater frequency these days?

Personally, I think so. Sadly, we can’t take the proverbial non-existent chill pill.

I was at a convenience store this week getting a cup of java when I got into a friendly conversation with a cashier who remarked that she had stopped watching or even reading the news anymore. She was too afraid to.

That is disheartening to hear, especially when you are in the news business. She noted that ignorance can be blissful. I sadly smiled and said I understood her frustration. I don’t think that’s the answer. What is? I’m not sure and it is hard to tell everyone to just relax and slow down because right now we’re wound up too tight and we seem to be spinning around at breakneck speed in various directions.

Bob Vosseller Assistant News Editor

On April 3, 2022 I was the victim of an electrical accident at home that could have ended my life. I thank God that I am still alive today.

I would also like to thank Manchester Township Police Department (especially Officer Ryan who was the fi rst responder), Manchester Township Emergency Medical Services, and St. Barnabas Emergency Medical Services for the overwhelming response, excellent care, and extreme professionalism that I received.

On behalf of my family and I, we THANK YOU!!!

Fossa have been grandstanding. And they take all their talking points from George Gilmore, the guy who was going to jail for tax fraud until he got a presidential pardon. Makes you wonder how much he paid to get that.

Lamb, Fossa, and Crispi are just going to do whatever Gilmore wants them to do. They have no strength.

They have no ideas of their own. They don’t even have a plan.

For the primary, vote for the Republicans who are actually going to get things done: Chris Smith for Congress, and Virginia Haines and Jack Kelly for Commissioner.

Crispi, Lamb, & Fossa Are Political Puppets I got an email saying to vote for Crispi for Congress.

All his literature talks about him being a lone wolf and a free thinker and all that.

He’s on the same line as Lamb and Fossa (who are running) for county commissioner. They all talk about being your voice, the voice of the people. But they’re not. They’re the voice of George Gilmore.

supermajority on the Court.

And this could just be the beginning. But there’s a way to fight back, which is why I’m urging Congress to pass the Judiciary Act of 2021.

The Judiciary Act would rebalance the Supreme Court by adding four new seats, giving us 13 justices in total. It’s just what we need to move away from extremely partisan rulings and restore the legitimacy of the Court - and it’s been done before. In fact, Congress has changed the size of the Supreme Court seven times already in our nation’s history. A recent poll showed that the majority of Americans support expanding the court again now.

It’s past time for Congress to get on board with this crucial bill.

Turf Fields Bad For Environment, Athletes I write to express unhappiness at the waste of money and ecological harm that replacing a grass field with synthetic, plastic - e.g, oil based, grass represents.

At a time when we need all of the carbon sequestering we can get, even those few acres serve a good purpose.

They retain natural moisture, support a teeming biosphere of insect life that other species feed on for survival. In addition, many studies have shown that the slick, artificial surface often results in more injuries to athletes than natural grass.

Below is a short excerpt from Sports Medicine Institute: They found athletes were 58 percent more likely to

sustain an injury during athletic activity on artificial turf. Injury rates were significantly higher for football, girls and boys soccer, and rugby athletes. Lower extremity, upper extremity, and torso injuries were also found to occur with a higher incidence on artificial turf.

Clearly no one has considered those harmful effects.

Protect Our Democracy It’s no secret that Congress is polarized. Rarely does an issue receive strong bipartisan support. That’s why it’s so striking that 4 out of 5 voters agree that we must do more to safeguard our democracy from presidential corruption.

No president, regardless of party, should be able to exploit weaknesses in our political system for their personal gain. That’s where the Protecting Our Democracy Act comes in. If passed, it would prevent future abuse of presidential power and corruption, increase transparency, and ensure presidents of either party can be held accountable.

If the average person used their office for personal gain, they’d go to jail. If the average person could pardon themselves, there would be no rule of law.

Therefore, no president should be above the law. It’s just common sense.

I’m urging Congress to pass the Protecting Our Democracy Act. It’s time we put safeguards in place to prevent a corrupt president of any party from abusing the power of their office.

Booker, Menendez Secure $6 M In Federal Funding For A.C. Boardwalk

NEWARK - U.S. Senators Cory Booker and Bob Menendez (both D-NJ) announced $6 million in federal funding to support the Atlantic City Boardwalk Revitalization Project.

As the frequency of severe weather increases, this investment will provide for the reconstruction of 1,200 feet of the boardwalk, helping improve the safety and resilience of the site. The project will also suppor t the local tou r ism economy and is estimated to generate $5 million in private investment and create 125 jobs. Senator Booker wrote to the

U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) in support of the project last year and successfully fought for its funding. The grant is funded by the American Rescue Plan, which Booker and Menendez both supported.

“The iconic Atlantic City Boardwalk serves as a central hub for small businesses and a tourist destination,” said Sen. Booker. “As the frequency and impact of severe weather and coastal flooding increase, ongoing rehabilitation is needed for the boardwalk to remain safe for residents, businesses, and tour-

ists. I was proud to support this critical revitalization project, which will repair damaged sections of the boardwalk and ensure that it remains a central component of the community’s economy.”

“Atlantic City is vital to our state’s tourism industry and plays a critical role in the success of the local economy,” said Sen. Bob Menendez. “I’m proud to have worked in a bipartisan manner to pass the American Rescue Plan which will deliver millions of federal dollars to suppor t this major project, while creating good-paying jobs and boosting

the South Jersey economy. I thank the Biden Administration for supporting this project and their dedication to families across New Jersey.”

This project is funded under EDA’s $240 million competitive A mer ican Rescue Plan Travel, Tourism, and Outdoor Recreation program. EDA awarded $510 million in grants to all 50 states and territories in 2021. The two programs are designed to accelerate the recovery of communities that rely on the travel, tourism and outdoor recreation sectors.

Governor Phil Murphy: State Parks Free This Summer

TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy announced that, as of Memorial Day Weekend, entry to all New Jersey state parks, forests, and recreation areas will be free of charge this summer. Presented in the FY 2023 budget proposal, the one-year state parks fee holiday is one of several fee waivers and programs designed to advance affordability and opportunity in New Jersey.

Park entrance fees will be waived for all visitors, regardless of state residency.

Anyone who already purchased a 2022 annual State Park Pass will automatically receive a full refund. Other individual park fees remain in place, including but not limited to camping, interpretive programs, and mobile sport fishing permits.

“Presented in our FY2023 budget, the bold steps we have taken toward a more affordable Garden State will ensure

access to our state parks for everyone – residents and visitors alike,” said Governor Murphy. “While incentivizing tourism and economic activity in our local communities, the fee holiday also promotes access to green, open space; thriving waterways; and the many natural wonders that make us proud to call New Jersey our home. We thank the Department of Environmental Protection for its devoted environmental stewardship, which enables each and every New Jerseyan to enjoy the physical and mental health benefits that safe outdoor activities provide.”

C om m is sione r of Env i ron me nt a l Protection Shawn M. LaTourette also sha red news of t he st ate pa rk s fee holiday during the annual State of the Shore event in Asbury Park. With the arrival of the Memorial Day weekend,

Commissioner LaTourette kicked off the summer outdoor season this week with visits to the Jersey shore and lakeshores, including Hopatcong State Park.

“From High Point State Park in Sussex County to Cape May Point State Park in Cape May County, the state park system provides endless opportunities for recreation – from swimming, hiking and kayaking, to picnicking, exploring nature and experiencing our rich history,” said Commissioner LaTourette. “Whatever your passion or interest, there is a state park in New Jersey for you. We look forward to a great season.”

The New Jersey State Park System, comprised of more than 50 sites and 453,000 acres, draws millions of visitors each year and is a key contributor to the state’s summer tourism economy.

Lifeguards at Island Beach State Park,

the only oceanfront swimming beach under the State Park Service’s administration, went on duty at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 28.

Lakefront lifeguards are anticipated to be on duty in mid-June at nine swimming areas throughout the state park system. Park users may check the current operating status of their favorite swimming area at State Park Service’s website.

The State Park Service continues to recruit lifeguards at all swimming areas throughout New Jersey. Salaries start at $17.50 per hour at lakefront beaches, while oceanfront guards at Island Beach State Park start at $18.50 per hour. Prior experience is not necessary, but candidates must pass running and swim tests prior to employment. Apply today by visiting nj.gov/dep/workinparks

ArounD the JerSey Shore New Art Exhibit At The Ocean County Artists Guild

ISLAND HEIGHTS – A brand-new art exhibit will be on display at the Ocean County Artists Guild this June.

The show, which runs June 5 through June 28, will unveil two new solo shows as well as its monthly members showcase.

Gallery one features the work of Manalapan-based painter, Joyce Wasseman. “Brush Strokes” is a new exhibition from Joyce showcasing a diverse collection of acrylic on canvas paintings. In her first solo show, Joyce creates art that explores bold colors with many different themes inspired by the world around her. Joyce was raised on Staten Island but has lived in New Jersey for more than 30 years and spends much of the summer at the Jersey Shore. She also paints custom pet portraits, has participated in the Belmar Art Walk and displays her art regularly at the Freehold Art Gallery.

Gallery two showcases the work of iconographer, Suzanne Schleck. A retired public school art teacher, born and raised in Missouri, Suzanne has resided in New Jersey with her husband, George and two children for over 50 years. Suzanne began studying icon painting using egg tempera and gold leaf with the Rev. John Walsted, from 1989 until his death in 2014.

If you are 62 years of age or older and have sufficient home equity, you may be able to: • Pay off your existing mortgage2 • Pay off bills, loans or other debts • Access cash for unplanned expenses • Live in your home and maintain ownership2 • Increase monthly cash flow • Fund necessary home repairs We are an independent lender based in Toms River, NJ and are not acting on behalf of the U.S. Department of HUD, FHA or the United States Government. [1] Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) will accrue on your loan balance. You will be charged an initial MIP at closing. The initial MIP will be 2% of the home value not to exceed $12,723. Over the life of the loan, you will be charged an annual MIP that equals .5% of the outstanding mortgage balance. [2] Your current mortgage, if any, must be paid off using the proceeds from your HECM loan. You must still live in the home as your primary residence, continue to pay required property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintain the home according to FHA requirements. Failure to meet these requirements can trigger a loan default that they may result in foreclosure.

The senior citizen noted that the true meaning behind the holiday was to remember those who served their country and died protecting it to preserve our nation’s freedom.

“God bless our deceased vets. God bless America!” he told JerseyShoreOnline prior to the parade’s start. He elaborated later saying, “We’re lucky with this weather. The good Lord is with us. He is shining upon those here.”

A parade watcher recalled seeing Placente as a child on a prior Memorial Day carrying the large American flag along Route 37. “I wondered who this crazy guy was,” they joked.

“It has been a long run but it has been a good one,” Placente said.

The parade spectator quickly added, “you’re not done yet!”

Local Boy and Girl Scouts participated in the parade. The Boy Scouts carried a large American Flag up the parade route.

Among the militar y suppor t organizations was the Disabled American Veterans Ocean County Chapter #24.

They rode down the parade route in a large float.

The Tin Can Sailors’ vehicle featured a large model of a Navy destroyer. The group’s commander, Jarrell Correll said, “We are here to support those who came before us who can’t be here. People get Memorial Day and Veterans Day mixed up but Memorial Day is the day to re-

member those who came before us, laid the groundwork for this great country and we are here to remember them. It isn’t just a weekend for barbecues and fun.

“It is nice to see us all get out here again.

Every year we come out for the Veterans Day Parade and the Memorial Day Parade. The Tin Can Sailors have kind of rebranded ourselves beyond those who served on (U.S. Navy) destroyers to bring in some younger veterans because they don’t relate to tin can sailors as we older guys do,” Correll added. “We are trying to beef up our ranks like everybody else and it was very difficult during the whole COVID thing and getting people back involved.”

Before the parade star ted, a shor t distance away from where the Tin Can Sailors were lined up, were two women standing next to a bright red vintage Chevrolet pickup truck awaiting their turn to move onto the parade route.

“This is the first time we’re doing this,” Karen Kelly said. She was wearing an American f lag dress and a gold tiara.

Her fellow Toms River resident, Susan Gilham, owned the classic 1957 truck.

The ladies were already looking forward to their next parade appearance. “We’re also going to do a Fourth of July parade, whoever has a parade,” Gilham said.

Following the parade, a ceremony was held outside Toms River Town Hall with speakers and honored guests. A rif le salute was held prior to the placing of wreaths on the veteran’s monument in front of the municipal complex.

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

Hearing Loss Can Impact Cognition

Research shows that hearing loss may lead to the rapid progression of cognitive decline. The evidence in the literature suggests that: • The slow onset of hearing loss can have a significant impact on several key brain functions, including the memory, hearing, speech and language portions of cognition.

• Hearing impairment is a greater risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia than other individual mid-life risks.

• The proactive management of hearing loss can delay or slow the onset or progression of cognitive decline.

• Studies show the use of hearing aids can slow down the rapid progression of cognitive decline.

Garden State Hearing & Balance Center is on the front line of promoting cognitive

health. We now offer a computerized test of cognitive function called Cognivue Thrive. This screening tool objectively and reliably identifies changes in cognitive function that could be indicative of an impairment that requires physician referral.

In our opinion, driving brain health awareness and improving access to cognitive screenings are among the most important challenges of the 21st century.

Although cognitive decline is a normal part of aging, early identification of underlying conditions such as untreated hearing loss will lead to appropriate management, thus improving cognitive health.

If you would like to schedule a Cognivue Thrive screening, please feel free to contact our Toms River office at 732-818-3610.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

OCD Drug Fluvoxamine Reduces Cytokines

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. We’ve all been hearing about something called a cytokine storm, and how elevations in various cytokines contributes to fatal outcomes with COVID-19. It’s not the pathogen per se, we can and do coexist with many organisms. It’s the flooding in the body of cytokines in response to the pathogen that causes symptoms and complications.

The role of cytokines has been studied for decades because when they fall out of balance, you see exacerbation in symptoms, and this occurs for all diseases. Cytokines have a normal value, anything above or below will cause health challenges.

Cytokines are not new, you hear of them frequently because we now understand that managing them is the key to staying healthy.

The word “cytokine” refers to a protein that you make in your body. Cytokines are created by certain immune (and non-immune) cells and each protein has its own individual effect on your immune system. Some cytokines are known to stimulate the immune system to make it fight harder, while others slacken it to prevent self-directed autoimmune assault. There are various types of cytokine classifications too. We have lymphokines, chemokines, interleukins (IL), interferons and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). I don’t want to get too far away from the topic at hand which is fluvoxamine. So let me just tell you outright, that this drug is known to reduce certain cytokines and the strange part of all this, is that its real claim to fame is for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder!

Noodle that for a minute! The the famous OCD drug reduces some cytokines, and therefore might help people with COVID

and long-haulers. It can reduce the amount of histamine that gets dumped from mast cells. Because fluvoxamine reduces serotonin from concentrating in platelets it can help reduce blood clot formation. This was noticed in patients taking the drug all the way back in 2011, and they had reduced risk of clot formation.

Fluvoxamine is an orally-administered medication that was invented in Belgium in 1983 at a pharmaceutical company, and then later it became FDA approved here in the USA as Luvox in 1994. It raises serotonin in the human body like the SSRI drugs, but it is not FDA approved for the treatment of any infection, even though the Lancet published positive findings from the TOGETHER trial - this study is available online.

The medication may cause serious side effects, the most challenging of which are seizures, cardiac problems due to low sodium (hyponatremia), suicidal ideation and insomnia. There are others of course, but these are most challenging to deal with.

Furthermore, the medication interacts with a lot of medications, including popular ones such as warfarin, lithium, antidepressants and stimulants for ADHD. Nevertheless, many infectious disease specialists and neurologists capitalize on fluvoxamine’s lesser known (off-label) benefit to reduce cytokines!

Fluvoxamine is not for everyone, please speak to your pharmacist and physician to see if it’s right for you. I have a longer version of this article in case you are interested.

Please just sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll email it to you next week.

CDC Expands Boosters To Ages 5 Through 11

The following is a statement from N.J. Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli: TRENTON – Everyone ages 5 and older who has completed their primary series is now eligible for a booster dose to further enhance their protection against the COVID-19 virus and its variants.

The recommendation from the federal Centers for Disease and Control

Prevention (CDC) to expand the Pfi zer COVID-19 booster to 5- through 11-yearolds is especially welcome news for parents who are concerned with ensuring their children have the strongest protections against COVID-19. The 5 through 11 age group is eligible for a booster dose five months after completing their primary series.

With the uptick in cases and hospitalizations, I encourage anyone who is not yet vaccinated to get vaccinated today to help protect yourself, your family and your community. Everyone who is eligible for a booster or recommended for a second booster should also get it today for a safer and healthier summer. The CDC also strengthened its recommendation that

those 12 and older who are immunocompromised and those 50 and older should receive a second booster dose at least four months after their fi rst.

Vaccines have proven to be a safe and effective weapon against serious illness, hospitalizations and deaths. Our vaccination sites are prepared to incorporate this eligibility expansion immediately. In addition, we continue to work to prepare for the anticipated roll-out of vaccines for those under age 5 once approved.

For parents or anyone looking for more information on the vaccines or treatments or to fi nd a nearby vaccination location, visit covid19.nj.gov.

As a reminder, if you have tested positive for COVID-19, speak to your doctor or healthcare provider about antiviral treatments that may be available to you.

Inside The Law The Need For Permits And Approvals When Selling A House

Marc S. Galella Esq.

By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates If you are selling your house, you should be aware that many buyers are requiring the seller to provide copies of all permits and approvals that the seller should have obtained for any improvements that the seller made to the house and property. Many real estate contracts now require that the seller provide permits for all improvements made to the house and that the proper approvals were issued for the permits.

The failure to have the permits and approvals may allow the buyer to terminate the contract or force the seller to obtain approvals or give the buyer a credit to do so after the closing.

In addition to the buyer requiring this, some of the local towns are reviewing their construction records and requiring that the seller “close out” any open permits prior to issuing a re-sale certificate of occupancy.

If you are selling your house, you should review what improvements you may have made to the house or property and make sure that you obtained the necessary permits and approval if the

improvement required a permit. It is not always clear what improvements require a permit. If you have any doubts, you should contact the construction department in your town and inquire as to what permits, if any are required. If you did obtain a permit for an improvement, you should also check with the town to make sure that the permit was properly closed out by way of a final inspection. Do not rely upon the fact that you hired a contractor to perform the improvement and presume that the contractor closed out the permit.

If you are selling your house and did not obtain permits and approvals for the improvements, you may want to check with the town and see what would be required to obtain permits and approvals now. If you are selling your house and did not obtain permits for the improvements, and you do not intend to do so, you should discuss this with your real estate attorney so that the contract can clearly state that you are not obligated to obtain permits and approvals.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

ShoreTown Ballpark was renovated in 2018 with the team adding boardwalk games, a ninehole miniature golf course, and Sand Bar, an open-air bar area down the left field line that also hosts live music at select games during the summer. Tickets to upcoming BlueClaws games are available online at BlueClaws.com/ Tickets.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of June 4 - june 10

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may be tempted to compromise your values in the week to come. When challenged to negotiate favorable terms, you avoid doing anything in the heat of the moment that goes against your integrity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Stay on track.

Someone may try to guilt you into ignoring your own insightful ideas. Don’t let anyone or anything divert your attention from working toward accomplishing your ambitions in the upcoming week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make headway with your ideas as this week unfolds. Take steps to insure you are known as someone who is persistent, follows through on promises and gets the job done. Remain crystal clear about your expectations.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You could underestimate your abilities in the week ahead.

Having a strong partner may bring mixed blessings if you let yourself feel less competent by comparison. Focus on ways to make money and fulfill existing commitments.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Find additional benefits as you travel your career path. In the week ahead, you might enjoy improved working conditions or work on a special project that gives you lasting comfort. Follow the rules to keep a partner happy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might feel that someone is blowing off your concerns or taking you for granted. Rather than brooding over these things, support your own well-being. Focus on uplifting your spiritual practice as the week unfolds.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Help yourself with one hand and help others with the other one. Whenever you grow overly ambitious, remember you are part of a team.

This week you may be called upon to help a coworker or sort out a compromise.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stick to your convictions even when someone else tries to stick holes in them. In the week to come, let other people know where you stand.

Avoid offering advice on any subjects outside your sphere of experience.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Family needs may come first but ambitions are not far behind. Your job or a project may take up more time than usual in the week ahead.

A partner can inspire you to work harder to attain material success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You might be riveted on what makes things tick and how you can use self-knowledge to get ahead. The goals on your mind are entirely achievable this week because there should be plenty of people eager to help.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If plagued by uncertainty, focus on trusting yourself. It may be impossible to achieve perfection in the week ahead, but you can do your best. Face up to obligations and perform necessary tasks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): One step at a time. Your imagination may be unleashed, so you might think there are no limits to what you can accomplish in the week ahead. Someone could be ready to remind you to take baby steps first.
