By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Losing your home to a catastrophe is emotionally devastating but thanks to friends and family, those impacted can get assistance to pick up and replace the pieces.

Friends of township resident Melinda Brundidge Watson are trying to help her put her life back together after the devasting house fire she and family members endured last month.

The blaze was reported around 6:45 p.m.

on June 14. It was reported as a “working fire” which went to two alarms on Toshi Court before it was brought under control.

Upon their arrival, fi refighters reported a garage fire extending into the two-story home

and pulled three lines to extinguish the fire.

The two-alarm fire spread into the home as crews used hose lines and an aerial ladder to bring the fire under control. Within 30 minutes, the bulk of the fire (Fire - See Page 6)

Former Board of Education member Gus Acevedo recommended that district leaders, administrators, teachers and staff be cognizant of students who may be coming into the district from smaller school districts and require more time to adapt to a larger school system like Jackson’s.

“We have to make them feel welcome as some will see as shocking with the size of the school even though our schools aren’t as large as some other public schools. I suggest you take that consideration and that certain kids aren’t used to large schools,” Acevedo said.

He also recommended that educators utilize its many audio-visual and computer systems to provide special programs or screen lesson-based films such as “Schindler’s List” to a large audience of students.

“We have our teachers assign peer students to help them with transitioning and our school counselors helping with that,” Superintendent Nicole Pormilli said.

She also mentioned in regards to Acevedo’s other suggestion that the educators use an online platform to gather special guest speakers who can come into the classroom virtually and are from varied backgrounds and areas of expertise. “We have had great opportunities to have them speak to students - doctors, astronauts, all sorts of things like that - so many of the things you

said we do.”

The school district is also expanding its YMCA counseling series to include all the district’s schools.

Superintendent Pormilli said during the meeting that she was watching the district’s enrollment and that there was a meeting with the Board Committee that monitors that.

She noted the administration’s focus on the bus driver shortage and reported several new bus drivers were hired in the last year. All bus drivers are being trained on new technology that is being used that will help track the status of bus transportation including newly issued identification cards that students are using to board the buses.

History The Ocean County Board of Agriculture held the first annual “4-H Achievement and Agricultural Ocean County Field Day” on September 6, 1947. There were approximately 500 people there. By way of comparison, for the 1967 show, that number was up to 60,000 people.

It started at the Ocean County Park in Lakewood, but outgrew it in the 1980s. It was then relocated to the Robert J. Miller Airpark in Berkeley Township. The first

four-day fair was in 1982.

It used to be an agricultural show for local farmers to show off their crops. However, as farming gave way to housing and commercial development, there are very few farms left locally. The 4-H has taken on the agricultural aspect of the fair, showing off what families have grown and nurtured.

The fair was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic. At that time, the statement put out was that “Rutgers Cooperative Extension/4H has put a hold on all 4H activities through August. 4H is such a strong partner of the fair that we cannot see a way forward without them this year.” The fair is run by volunteers, and without the 4H

and other groups, they were shorthanded.

In 2021, it had been scheduled. However, in April of that year it was cancelled because capacity restrictions were still in place and 4H was limited from having large gatherings.

The 2020 fair would have been the 73rd year of the fair. The only years they missed were 2020 and 2021.

School:

“It was a very challenging year after the kids were home for a couple of years,” Board member Erica Osmond said.

Board members congratulated students who recently graduated from high school.

They also commended those involved with commencement exercises across the school system.

Goals:

Continued From Page 1 Superintendent Nicole Pormilli said many of those goals involved aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic such as “student quarantine instruction and getting our students back into the academic program, making connections with students to make sure they felt they were learning and engaged with their schools, applying for pre-school grant and adapting it once that award was received.

“We expanded social-emotional approaches for students and all of that was in occurrence with our curriculum cycle,” she added.

Pormilli said all of these actions “were a collection of multiple step efforts. This was not just one person but the entire district in setting goals and I feel everyone involved helped make a difference in our students’ education.”

She also spoke about the district’s continued struggle with the S-2 state aid funding formula which has cost the district and

others throughout the state millions of dollars. She said efforts were made through contact with legislators, attending legislative hearings and communicating with the news media to advocate to change S-2 and to restore some of the lost state aid funds which she said has negatively impacted the school district.

State legislators changed school funding a few years ago, taking from some districts (like Jackson) that had declining enrollment or were considered by the state “overfunded.” The money was redistributed to other districts that had increasing enrollment or were considered by the state “underfunded.” Many districts who lost out on this state aid have been fighting this decision.

Assistant Superintendent Daniel Baginski said the Board’s July 20 meeting would include a number of presentations including the six-month HIB (Harassment, Intimidation, Bullying) report, six-month vandalism/violence incident report and test score results from this past school year.

Contracts, Grants, & Policies A number of contracts were awarded lat-

er in the evening. One was with Edwards Engineering Group for the removal and replacement of a fueling system at the Memorial Transportation facility, at a cost of $72,145.

A professional services contract was also awarded to Educational Data Services, Midland Park, for bidding services for the Jackson School District for the 2022-2023 school year at a cost of $17,200.

The Board appointed Phoenix Advisors, LLC, Bordentown, as Independent Registered Municipal Advisor of record for continuing disclosure agent services for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

They also awarded a professional services contract to School Bus Transportation Consultant, MMD LLC at a cost not to exceed $44,000. That contract became effective on July 1.

Based on the recommendation of the Board Secretary, the Board awarded the lease purchase financing for school vehicles to JP Morgan Chase which had the lowest bid per specifications, 3.13% for five years, principal at $975,000.

The Board also voted to accept the Perkins Secondary Education 2022-2023 grant for Career and Technical Education which began on July 1 of this year and will go through June 30, 2023, in the amount of $84,687.

Also accepted was the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights (ABR) 2020-2021 District and School HIB (Harassment, Intimidation, Bullying) Grade Official Report as released by the New Jersey Department of Education.

Board members voted to approve Orton Gillingham Educators Training to conduct virtual training for 39 elementary special education teachers. The cost will not exceed $33,712 and will be paid from district funds.

Also approved was the Regional Professional Development Academy to conduct the Wilson Reading and Language Systems Seminar, Level I Certification Practicum training for three middle and elementary special education teachers, to be held August 22-25 at a total cost of $14,964.

A contract with the Wilson Language Training Corporation was also approved for that firm to conduct virtual certification training for elementary and middle school special education teachers at a cost of $51,244.

Four mutual aid departments were called in to assist at the site. Crews from Jackson and Howell townships responded, along with Millstone and Lakehurst Naval Airbase.

Lisa Hall, who is a friend of Watson’s said the fire, “left her home uninhabitable, con-

“Thank God they walked away from this raging fire with just the clothes on their backs. They lost everything,” Hill added. “This family needs your prayers and I’m asking for your help to bless this family with a donation.”

“W hen I saw the photos after the

Hall said, “all donations will go directly to Melinda’s account. To help, visit GoFundMe.com and search for “Lisa Hall,” then click “Family lost everything.”

New Laws Protect Abortion Patients From Other States

TRENTON – With abortion expected to become illegal or heavily restricted in about half of all states now that the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, Governor Phil Murphy signed two bills to protect individuals who receive and provide reproductive health care services in New Jersey.

The legislation establishes protections for patients and providers. For patients, the legislation helps ensure residents of other states who seek reproductive health care in New Jersey can access confidential care without fear of prosecution. For providers, the legislation insulates healthcare practitioners from New Jersey-initiated disciplinary actions based on the provision of reproductive health care, including abortion, that is legal in New Jersey.

“While others throughout the country are revoking a woman’s right to reproductive freedom, New Jersey will continue to defend this fundamental right in our state,” said Governor Murphy. “By bolstering protections against potential repercussions for both health care professionals and patients, we are sending a message to all who seek or provide reproductive health care within our borders that we welcome and support you. These laws represent our commitment to standing by a woman’s right to make her own decisions about her body, and will serve to make our state a beacon of freedom to every woman in America.”

The first bill (A-3975/S-2633) would generally prevent the disclosure of a patient’s medical records related to reproductive health care without their consent in any civil, probate, legislative or administrative proceeding. It would also prohibit public entities and employees from cooperating

with interstate investigations aiming to hold someone liable for seeking, receiving, facilitating, or providing reproductive health care services that are legal in New Jersey.

It would further protect providers by prohibiting New Jersey licensing boards from suspending, revoking, or refusing to renew the license or registration of a professional based solely on their involvement in the provision of reproductive health care services.

The second bill (A-3974/S-2642) would prevent the extradition of an individual within New Jersey to another state for receiving, providing, or facilitating reproductive health care services that are legal in New Jersey.

Primary sponsors of both bills include Senators Nia Gill, Nellie Pou, and Gordon Johnson, and Assembly members Lisa Swain, Mila Jasey, and Raj Mukherji.

“The Supreme Court took a drastic step backwards by repealing a landmark decision that was the cornerstone for protecting reproductive freedom in America. This decision has been the catalyst for continued efforts to enact more robust laws that amplify and defend a woman’s right to choose in New Jersey,” said Senate Majority Leader M. Teresa Ruiz. “Because of the provisions that are being enacted (in New Jersey), the ability to seek out and receive safe and legal reproductive health services will become a guaranteed right for all who wish to access them in our state. While this does not change the tragic reality for many individuals living in places where reproductive rights have been stripped away, anyone who chooses to come to New Jersey and receive an abortion will be safeguarded from facing criminal charges in their home state. I am

proud to lead and govern in a state where the value and importance of ensuring the right to choose is prioritized and respected.”

“We acted in January of this year with a preemptive strike to ensure New Jersey women are not affected by the whims of Scotus and their overturning of Roe v.

Wade,” said Assemblywoman Lisa Swain.

“Women and their doctors are the only individuals necessary to make choices about their bodies and reproductive health. This new law aims to protect medical professionals who provide reproductive healthcare services in New Jersey that is in violation of any other state’s laws and prohibits the use of extradition. We will continue to protect women and ensure they can make their own medical decisions partnered with their doctors.”

“With certain states taking radical steps such as allowing civil litigation against

New Jersey physicians and healthcare personnel for providing reproductive healthcare and reaching outside their borders to criminalize travel to our state by women availing themselves of fundamental rights protected under New Jersey law, we must act to protect a woman’s control over her own bodily autonomy and future,” said Assemblyman Raj Mukherji.

“New Jersey will not extradite women or healthcare providers who are criminally charged under unjust, overreaching laws in another state for protected activities occurring within our state. New Jersey will protect the sacrosanct privacy of people’s medical records, and we will not cooperate with efforts to harass our medical providers through extraterritorial litigation for conduct occurring squarely within our borders which falls squarely within our laws.”

OCEAN COUNTY – In just 10 days, 88,000 people cast more than 2 million votes in support of their favorite causes. As a result, 100 communities, in 34 states, including Meals on Wheels of Ocean County, is getting an assist from State Farm®. The 100 winners are each receiving $25,000 grants to support local community causes.

Meals on Wheels provides 260,000 nutritious meals to frail and homebound seniors, throughout Ocean County, each year.

“Meals on Wheels of Ocean County gained enough votes from the community to finish as one of 100 grant winners from across the country and was one of just six grant winners in New Jersey,” says State Farm Corporate Responsibility Analyst Jennifer Young. “Clearly, Ocean County residents are committed to supporting their older neighbors in need.”

This past February, State Farm accepted 4,000 applications for worthy causes, from throughout the country, that focus on supporting communities in need. The 4,000 applications were reviewed and narrowed down to the top 200.

The top 200 finalists were then posted online for the public to vote on throughout 10 days.

Thanks to strong community support, Meals on Family Owned & Operated

─Photo courtesy Meals on Wheels Wheels of Ocean County is one of the winners and one of two winners based in Ocean County.

Local organization, David’s Dream and Believe Cancer Foundation, also won a Neighborhood Assist grant this year.

In the eleven years of the program, nearly 500 causes have received a total of $12.5 million to enact change in their communities. The $25,000 State Farm grant to Meals on Wheels will support the Pick Up the Tab Program (PUTT).

“This funding will help us decrease our waitlist, purchase new heating and refrigeration delivery vehicles and hire more drivers to deliver the over 800 meals we currently serve each day,” says Meals on Wheels of Ocean County Executive Director James Sigurdson. “The Pick Up The Tab (PUTT) program is a critical lifeline toward health and independence. We serve more than 1,600 Ocean County seniors and are extremely grateful for this State Farm grant.”

The check was presented to Meals on Wheels by local State Farm agents Lisa Patchell and Carinne Leisey-Gulati. The presentation took place during their Community Cafe’s First Annual Senior Prom.

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.

3 Natural Hot Flash Relief Supplements

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Many people get through their whole life without a hot flash, and that’s great. But for others, the problem is disabling so today’s article is about natural relief for hot flashes. I tend to hear more complaints about hot flashes in the summertime and that’s because the added hot weather makes it even harder for your body to compensate and thermoregulate itself properly.

A hot flash feels slightly differently to all those who experience it, but it’s a sensation of warmth throughout your body. It could feel really hot, where you start to flush. If you’ve ever taken a good brand of niacin, you may have felt something akin to a hot flash because it would have made you flush.

Sometimes the hot flashes are so frequent, or intense that they are painful or disabling.

Triggers include some of the following: • Chili or spicy foods • Caffeinated drinks • A lot of stress • Some medications • Genetics • Your estrogen levels • Your cortisol levels • Levels of thyroid hormone Here are 3 Natural Ways To Reduce Hot Flashes 1. Black Cohosh. Generations of women have relied on the gnarled root of black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) to relieve various hormonal issues such as Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and menstrual cramps as well as hot flashes. Many holistic doctors like black cohosh because their patients cannot tolerate HRT due to side effects. And it’s hard to dose correctly unless you know how your patient is metabolizing their hormones.

That’s why a DUTCH test can help (it’s

available at my website, or through your own doctor). It can evaluate your urine hormone metabolites because blood tests cannot.

2. St. John’s Wort. The most famous herb used for melancholy helps with hot flashes too! Studies have shown that St. John’s wort is effective in treating menopause symptoms and mood dysphoria. It also has some sedative properties making it useful for people with insomnia. A meta-analysis found that the herb had minimal side effects and could help reduce the number of hot flashes, as well as severity of them. But it takes about 8 weeks to work. The combination of St. John’s wort and Black Cohosh could be really helpful since there is synergy! Just be careful not to combine St. John’s wort with prescribed medications.

3. Thyroid Supplements or medications.

Ensuring healthy thyroid hormone status is critical. You shouldn’t have too much or too little thyroid hormone. Your physician can test you to see what your levels are. Having hyperthyroidism means you will run hot!

It’s not something that you can fi x with estrogen, you fi x it by reducing your thyroid hormone levels so don’t take supplements to increase levels! My book called Thyroid Healthy can help you address all kinds of thyroid imbalances.

Likewise, low thyroid hormone levels as in hypothyroidism, will cause you to have poor thermoregulation as well which can raise your risk for thermostat problems too!

Supplements could work very well here to raise levels, as could medications. But please do not start or stop any medications without consulting a qualified medical doctor who can supervise your regimen. If you’d like to read the more detailed version of my article visit suzycohen.com.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Fire Breaks Out During BlueClaws July 4th Fireworks Display

By Jason Allentoff LAKEWOOD – No one was injured when a small blaze broke out at ShoreTown Ballpark on July 4th during the Jersey Shore BlueClaws fireworks display.

Director of Communications Greg Giombarrese told Jersey Shore Online that part of the shrubs behind the centerfield wall caught fire.

Giombarrese said “the Lakewood Fire Department and Ocean County Fire Marshal were on site during the event which is standard procedure during all fireworks display nights at the stadium.”

Giombarrese added that firefighters acted quickly and extinguished the fire in a safe

─Photo courtesy Brianna Gorneau manner.

No fans were in the vicinity at the time of the blaze and the fire broke out in an area that is cleared by the staff after the seventh inning of every fireworks game.

Giombarrese also said that they thank the Lakewood Fire Department and the Ocean County Fire Marshal for continuing to help make the BlueClaws experience a safe night out for friends and family.

Despite the flames and smoke, the fireworks display show continued to the delight of fans in the seats.

The Jersey Shore BlueClaws Independence Day Celebration is one of the busiest events for the team during each season.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law The Purpose For Doing Home Inspections When Buying A House

Marc S. Galella Esq.

By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates Many years ago, when I first started practicing real estate, home inspections were rare. It was not unusual to see only 1 out of 20 buyers do a home inspection. In fact, there were some forms of residential real estate contracts that did not allow the buyer to do a home inspection. All that has changed! Today, it is exceedingly uncommon and almost unheard of for a buyer not to do a home inspection.

The real purpose of having a home inspection is to have an expert determine that the house being purchased is structurally sound and that the major systems of the house, namely the heating, cooling, electrical, plumbing systems and the included appliances and fixtures are in proper working order and that there are no leaks in the roof, walls or basement. In addition, the buyers may also check for the presence of wood destroying insects (termites) and radon gas. Where applicable, the buyer can also check the condition of a swimming pool, docks and bulkheads, as the case may be. The standard procedure in most contract is to allow the buyer a period of time to perform the inspections (usually 14 days) and for the buyer to request that the seller address defects noted in the inspection report. In most cases the seller has the opportunity to correct the defect and if the seller refuses to correct the defect, then the buyer has the right to cancel the contract.

Unfortunately, in some cases, the buyer attempts to use the home inspection as a tool to renegotiate the purchase price of the contract. This is not the reason why we perform home inspections and, in many cases, leads to unnecessary contention between the buyer and the seller.

In order to prevent this when I represent a seller, in attorney review I will limit the scope of the inspections to material defects. I define a material defect as a condition or functional aspect of a structural component or system that substantially affects the value, habitability or safety of the house. A material defect does not include merely decorative, stylistic, cosmetic or aesthetic aspects. Also, I also make it clear that the age of a system is not a defect if the system is working properly.

By setting the ground rules for the inspections in advance in attorney review, the attorney for the seller can limit the home inspections for the purpose for which they are intended and to prevent the re-negotiation of the previously agreed upon contract price.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of july 9 - july 15

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You might feel like a social butterfly in the upcoming week. Make the most of holiday outings but remember to be loyal to your committed relationships. Keep your actions appropriate to avoid misunderstandings.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Open mindedness should keep you out of harm’s way. Welcome your friends’ unusual ideas in the week ahead and you may become the center of attention. However, you may need to step up to protect boundaries.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You must play the hand with the cards you are dealt.

Impulsive decisions and changes could derail the budget. You may be more interested in moneymaking ideas and career success than romantic interludes this week.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Wake up and embrace the things that make you happy.

You must be adaptable, consistent, and reliable in the upcoming week. Use wisdom to make headway with career and financial concerns, and business tactics.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Multitask. Make time for appearances in the right places, but also remain dedicated to your focus on work as the week unfolds. Mindful networking can bring rewards on multiple levels and you should enjoy meeting interesting people.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Use your intuition and your open heart. Body language will often tell the story, but not everyone is wired the same way, so not all people will give the same signals. A loved one may help you achieve your goals.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Put business before pleasure in the week ahead. You can get a lot accomplished and address your material needs without neglecting your family or a romantic partner. A flirtatious glance may cause a misunderstanding.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your inner ambitions may inspire and empower you to dedicate your time to completing a long-term strategy. You could be thrown into close contact with influential, interesting, or famous people in the upcoming week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Never underestimate the power of a community to provide love and assistance to its members.

Revive someone’s spirits in the week ahead by being loud and clear about your support for loved ones and dear friends.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Demonstrate faith and fidelity. There are never doubts or fears when there is true unity of purpose.

If you display unflagging confidence in your abilities in the week ahead, you can instill optimism in everyone you meet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may meet friendly people at public outings or welcome fascinating people into your home in the upcoming week. Family expenditures could easily get out of hand unless you maintain an iron grip on the budget.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Create a vision to work toward. Visualize a powerful and detailed picture of an exciting future and infuse it with focused actions. Gather advice or guidance from an expert before you make a snap financial decision.
