By Stephanie A. Faughnan WEST CREEK – The thrill of seeing Long Beach Island from 1,000 feet above the ground became a reality for 93 young people who participated in Young Eagles flights.

Eagles Nest Airport hosted the free flights offered to children between the ages of 8 and 17 in conjunction with its open house. The US Experimental Aircraft Association’s Young Eagles program

strives to bring the joy of aviation to local youth.

“Seven pilots gave their time and fuel to take the kids up this week alone,” said Kurt Stofko, organizer of the Ocean County Young Eagles program.

“We also fly out of Ocean County Airport and the pilots go from there to Seaside so the kids can see all the amusements.”

Stofko said the engines are shut down and the (Pilots - See Page 5)

Jane Seymour: Up Close and Personal: The Exhibition, provides a showcase for her collection of original art by the Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning

actress. Her work will be on exhibition and available for acquisition through July 10, at Ocean Galleries, Stone Harbor’s premier Fine Art Gallery.

“I’ve shown at the Ocean Galleries several times. They asked me to fill it and I did.

What is really unique

about this show is that every style that I ever painted will be on show there. I’ve changed styles at different times in my career and they have some of my early work all the way up to my latest pieces.

By Stephanie Faughnan BARNEGAT/WARETOWN – No one really wants to believe that some families have to worry about where they’ll find their next meal.

Four years ago, Michele Cucinotta was a school counselor in the Barnegat Township School District’s Dunfee School. She couldn’t help but notice that many of her students risked going hungry as soon as summer break started.

Free and reduced lunch programs bring some relief to school-aged children suffering from food insecurity during the school year, but these fade away when the schools close.

Cucinotta already had a network of people who she knew she could count on to help those in need.

As a member of the Waretown United Methodist Church, one of her first thoughts was to discuss the problem with the head of her church, Pastor Dawn Corlew.

“We first start talking about the free and reduced lunch programs,” said Corlew. “I wanted to know what happened to feeding the kids during the summer.

Meals:

Continued From Page 1 With nothing down here, we decided to come up with a Summer Feeding Program for the weeks when school is out.”

It didn’t seem like enough to just feed the children. After all, if the kids were hungry, there was a good chance family members were also going without food. The program grew from there.

“We decided to make a big box of food for the family once a week,” Corlew shared.

“We provide a delivery service and make sure each family gets staples like peanut butter and jelly, pasta, and cereal. Every week, we also include produce and eggs, as well as a fresh protein such as hamburgers,

hot dogs, and chicken. We add in butter and bread in our weekly deliveries, too.”

Many different community organizations run food drives to supplement the summer food program. Members of the Waretown United Methodist Church’s congregation generously give of their time and food. Corlew said they see it as an extension of their Christianity and a way to do God’s work.

Both Barnegat and Ocean Township Police Departments have donated food, as have a couple of the local retirement developments.

Waretown’s Greenbriar and Barnegat’s Heritage Point communities both make regular contributions.

Some of the local farmers’ market vendors also supply fresh produce to ensure families receive nutritious items when they receive

their deliveries.

Jennifer Saropoulis, the owner of Lefty’s Tavern in Barnegat, became involved in the program when Cucinotta spoke to her about it. Lefty’s donates some of the food, and also secures the protein items at wholesale prices. Lefty’s restaurant size refrigerators have also proven helpful for items that might otherwise spoil.

The recipients of the weekly boxes have been qualified through the two local school districts as eligible for free or reduced lunches. They may also be part of the backpack program, which discreetly sends food home on weekends. Prospective participants have the opportunity to opt out of food deliveries.

During the pandemic, Corlew noticed that those suffering from food insecurity also had another dilemma. It was difficult to find and afford regular household items – that could not be purchased with government assistance funds.

“Once a month, we deliver the other necessities,” said Corlew. “We make sure the families get a big box of paper towels, toilet paper, and detergent.”

One recent Tuesday, nearly thirty volunteers gathered to pack bags and get them ready for delivery. In the past, those willing to help have ranged in age from 3-90 years old. On Wednesdays, some of the same crew will take on the delivery route to 36 local homes. Over 180 people benefit weekly from the program.

Cucinotta said that in addition to church congregation members, a number of teachers and their children show up to help with

the food distribution.

“I put a note out to all the teachers in the (Barnegat) district,” Cucinotta shared. “I asked if anyone would like to volunteer or if their kids needed volunteer hours.”

The call for help hit home for Lisa Flores, a Spanish teacher at the Horbelt School in Barnegat. She brought along her three children to Tuesday’s packing event. Eli is almost 10 years old, Aspen, 6 and Eva is almost 9 years old.

“I think it’s important that we get food to the people who don’t have much,” said Eva. As the youngest of the three, Aspen’s answer was one literally from the mouth of babes. She decided her help was critical for a very important reason.

“We want them to stay alive,” Aspen shared.

Corlew emphasized the number of people who help seems to change all the time. She called all of the participants “amazing” and has had as many as 70 volunteers working at one time.

Bev Neyenhouse, one of the regulars, didn’t want to break from her work. She then realized she had an important announcement.

“We are running out of some of the foodstuffs that we need,” said Neyenhouse. “If anyone can talk to their neighbors and tell them what we’re doing, we can always use snacks, drinks, and vegetables.”

Anyone wishing to make a donation can stop by the Waretown United Methodist Church on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays until the end of August. Someone is available to accept food items from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on those days.

Pilots:

Continued From Page 1 propellers are not turning when the children are first led to the planes. In most cases, it’s just the pilot and three student passengers aboard for the flights that last between 15 and 20 minutes.

“We guide the children to the plane and the pilot first talks about safety,” Stofko said. “We also have a couple of young people that go around and talk about the airplane.”

Participants become engaged in the preflight check and have the opportunity to ask questions before take-off. They all receive a certificate and log book at the completion of the trip.

Fair:

Continued From Page 1 midway will have vendors offering traditional items like ice cream and fried treats, as well as some more interesting surprises.

Families can buy tickets for a variety of rides, from slow ones for little kids to high-rising ones for older fair-goers. Unlimited ride wristbands are available.

The 4-H will be involved once again. As a long-running partner with the fair, they will be having animals that are part of their clubs’ projects. Members raise and care for the animals, and then teach the public about them.

They also have displays that serve as the culmination of other lessons in disciplines such as art and environmental sciences.

The Southern Ocean Times, July 9, 2022, Page 5 The pilots who volunteer their time all do a good job of reassuring the kids and making them feel at ease. Many wish they’d had the opportunity to participate in something like the Young Eagles program in their youth.

With thirty years as a teacher in the Barnegat school district, Stofko appears to be perfectly suited in leading the local Young Eagles chapter. He’s combined a couple of his passions in doing so and his followers appreciate him.

“Kurt’s pretty chill and great to work with,” said Michael Randall, 16, who will be entering his junior year at Southern Regional High School this fall.

Michael first learned about the Young Eagles when he was a Boy Scout and attended a fair in 2018. Stofko was at the event and distrib-

uted information about the program.

In addition to offering young people the opportunity to experience a flight on a small plane, the Young Eagles program allows kids the chance to learn more about how planes work.

“We did amazing things, which started with using videos like an online flight school,” Michael said. “We used a website that gave us charts, taught us about different departures, and all the nomenclature associated with aircraft.”

Prior to COVID shutting down many activities, Michael was helping Stofko build a plane. The Pientpol aircraft project requires a great deal of dedication and time. It’s been put on hold for now.

The work involved includes building all the structure and covering it with fabric. The next step involves rebuilding an engine.

“It’s something I really enjoyed doing,” shared Michael. “I’m hoping we go back to it once everything is up and running again.”

Michael flew with the Young Eagles program for the first time in 2019. He continues to love the world of aviation and would love to go for his private pilot’s license – although he recognizes the cost as prohibitive.

Last weekend, Michael had the chance to go up in the air again. He could not have been more ecstatic things were coming back together.

The Young Eagles offers free flights to children ages 8-17 four times a year.

Entertainment The midway will have performances throughout the fair, with times to be announced. Many of them will be there every day, such as Dynamo Dogs, Bwana Jim’s Wildlife Show, Pig Races, Chainsaw carver, pony rides, and the Mermaids Show.

There will also be the following special performances: Wednesday: Fish Eyed Blues Band; Toms River’s K-9 Police Unit at 6 p.m.

Thursday: It’s All Good Band Friday: Whippoorwill Bluegrass Band; After the Reign Saturday: Strictly 60s; Jersey Jukebox; Magic of Marco Sunday: Cowboy Larry’s Wild West Show

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.

Offshore Oil Leases Won’t Lower Gas Prices Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) led a group of Senate colleagues in urging U.S. Interior Secretary Deborah Haaland to protect coastal communities across the nation by including no new leasing across all planning areas in any proposed or final five-year outer continental shelf (OCS) oil and gas leasing program currently under development by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) within the Department of the Interior (DOI).

In addition to the catastrophic disasters of oil spills, offshore drilling operations pollute water, land and air. This puts millions of jobs, families, and communities who depend on the cleanliness of coastal waters at risk, which could further create uncertainty in our economic recovery.

In the letter to Secretary Haaland, the senators also highlighted how expanding offshore drilling would not only fail to alleviate the strain on current gas prices, but also make it more difficult to address the worsening climate crisis.

Joining Sen. Menendez in signing the letter were Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Jack Reed

( D - R . I .), R o n Wyd e n (D-Ore.), Patty Murray (D -Wash.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Alex Padilla (D-Calif.).

The full text of the letter can be found below: “Dear Secretary Haaland: “We write to you today regarding the recent announcement that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) within the Department of the Interior (DOI) is developing a new five-year outer continental shelf (OCS) oil and gas leasing program, with a proposed program expected by June 30, 2022. We urge you to protect our coastal communities, economies, ecosystems, and climate by including no new leasing across all planning areas in any proposed or final five-year OCS oil and gas leasing program.

“As Senators representing coastal states, we know that offshore drilling is inherently a risk-reward proposition, with our coastal communities shouldering the risk and oil companies reaping the rewards. History shows us that it is not a question of if an oil spill occurs, but when. Coastal economies that rely on our pristine waters support 3.3 million jobs and $257 billion in GDP, and offshore drilling puts these jobs and the families and communities who depend on them at risk.

“We recognize that families across the country are struggling as Russia’s unjust

and brutal war in Ukraine has led to increased gasoline prices and rising inflation.

As the U.S. and our partners around the world appropriately work to limit Russia’s ability to bring oil to market in order to finances its aggression, we need to do everything we can to minimize impacts here at home. Yet, oil companies are taking advantage of the crisis to rake in record profits while gouging consumers at the pump. To help alleviate costs, Democrats support and have offered numerous proposals to directly help American families afford gasoline and food.

Increasing offshore leases will do nothing to lower current gas prices, as the average offshore lease takes about five years to develop. One recent analysis found that a five year plan that included no new leasing would have no impact on domestic oil production through 2027 and only negligible impacts through 2035, and similarly that such a scenario would have no impact on oil and gasoline prices through 2030 and only negligible impacts through 2035.

Additionally, a report issued in November 2021 by the Department of the Interior under your leadership found that 55 percent of existing offshore leases were not currently producing, “indicating a sufficient inventory of leased acreage to sustain development for years to come.”

“In addition to failing to alleviate the strain on current gas prices, new offshore oil and gas leasing will make it more difficult to meet our climate goals and worsen the climate crisis. A recent study found that

protecting our coasts from new fossil fuel development would avoid over 19 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions, roughly equivalent to taking every car in the nation off the road for 15 years, and prevent over $730 billion in damages to people, property, and the environment. If we are to meet the Paris climate agreement’s goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and avoid the worst impacts of climate change, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that global greenhouse gas emissions must peak by 2025 before declining precipitously and achieving net-zero emissions by the early 2050s. Rather than locking in additional emissions for years to come, BOEM and DOI must signal the United States’ commitment to reducing our emissions and combating climate change.

“Opposition to offshore drilling is not a partisan issue. Governors of both parties up and down our coasts, joined by a diverse coalition of residents, stakeholders, municipalities, organizations, and elected officials from all levels of government, have come together to declare that our shores are not for sale to Big Oil. President Biden recognized the threat that offshore drilling poses to our coasts, economy, and climate, and he campaigned on a promise of ending offshore drilling.

“We urge you to uphold the President’s promise, and include no new lease sales in the next five-year OCS oil and gas leasing program, and appreciate your attention to this important matter.”

New Laws Protect Abortion Patients From Other States From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy 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 contin-

ued 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 (Government - See Page 14)

Girl Scout Creates New Bluebird Trail

–Photos courtesy Ocean County Parks and Recreation BARNEGAT – The Ocean County Parks and Recreation Department would like to thank Lucia Street, Girl Scout Silver Award Candidate, for her creation of a new bluebird trail at Cedar Bridge Tavern.

As part of her Bronze Star Award, Luci volunteered to help monitor bluebirds at Cloverdale Farm County Park. Luci’s passion grew. So, when she asked if she could lead a program for the public to build bluebird nest boxes at Cloverdale as part of her Silver Award, of course they said yes.

Thanks to the gracious donation by Ed

McCay Wood Products, that specializes in Atlantic white cedar, and the Berkeley VFW Post 9503, Luci was not only able to offer two public bluebird nest box building programs in April, but also two more programs for members of the Girl Scouts and their families on June 12 in which the nest boxes for Cedar Bridge Tavern were created. With the help of some amazing Ocean County Parks volunteers, Luci installed the new bluebird trail with seven nest boxes at Cedar Bridge Tavern this past weekend. Way to go Luci! Thanks for being an advocate for bluebird conservation.

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

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.

Actress:

Continued From Page 1 and impressionist pieces,” she told Jersey Shore Online.

Her artistic talent began at an early age.

“My mother meticulously kept everything of mine. From a very early age I was drawing and that was a passion. I also had a speech impediment so my teachers told my parents so I had ballet class at school. The craziest thing is I ended up doing all three things: becoming a dancer, an actress who specialized in playing in different languages, specifically the “r” sounds being very hard for me to do in real life and the sound being the most difficult to do and that being the American pronunciation, and then the drawing.”

She has earned great success in the worlds of art, design and corporate entrepreneurship, led by her Open Hearts by Jane Seymour line of jewelry, which launched in 2008. She has taken her Jane Seymour Designs brand to the position of being in the top 100 of Licensing Global Magazine’s list of the world’s top brands, something no other actor or actress has accomplished.

She added, “everything I do comes from my art in the same way my art always comes from life. What is going on in my life. What I feel about things and makes me happy. It is a very healing process to do art.”

Seymour is the recipient of the Officer of the British Empire (OBE) bestowed upon her

by Queen Elizabeth II. She has proven her talents in virtually all media, the Broadway stage, motion pictures and television.

Through the popular CBS series “Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman,” she became a role model to young women and girls throughout the world showing her courage to achieve, and improve anything a man can do.

She won a Golden Globe as Dr. Michaela Quinn in the action packed, family drama series which ran for six seasons from January 1, 1993, to May 16, 1998 and spawned two TV movie sequels. “We are all very close. I was talking to (co-star actor) Joe Lando (who played her husband Sully) about an hour ago, Sully and Michaela live on in contemporary form. Joe helps me and I help him when I can,” she told Jersey Shore Online.com.

During the series’ fourth season, Seymour’s real-life pregnancy was written into the show. “We named the child Katie which was the name of my daughter so that is where we took the name from and Joe has four children and had one girl and he named her Kate so we both have a Kate.”

She added that along with the close relationship he has with the cast of the show, the bond she had with legendary singer Johnny Cash and his wife June. The friendship that developed when they were guest stars on the series led her to produce the bio pic “Walk the Line.”

“Johnny and June advanced us the rights to their life and we came up with that movie.

That was amazing. We did all the research on that. They trusted us and didn’t trust anyone else and I think we did them proud.

It was a movie about redemption and not just a chronological story of a man,” Seymour added.

Her interest in producing led her to meet

The Southern Ocean Times, July 9, 2022, Page 13 James Keach. “He was a producer and when I met him, I wanted to produce my fi rst movie and my agent was smart and he said this terrific director who was also an actor and also writes and produces - the two of you together would be great. He can show you the ropes and you can work together on it.

“We ended up getting married and having children and being together for 26 years.

We are no longer together, sadly, for about nine years, but I am now producing myself,” she said. Through her production company she has produced and starred in programs as “Sunstroke,” “A Passion for Justice,” “Praying Mantis,” “The Absolute Truth,” “Enslavement: The Fanny Kemble Story,” and “Blackout.”

She went behind the camera to serve as an executive producer on the documentary film “Glen Campbell...I’ll Be Me”, which told the touching story of musician Glen Campbell’s farewell tour while dealing with the effects of Alzheimer’s disease.

One potential project may bring her back to her beloved TV series, Dr. Quinn. “We didn’t know if we had the rights but recently, Beth Sullivan who did the original has the rights back. She was the original writer of it.

She put together an amazing script of where the story would go and where the characters would now be. We pitched it to a couple of places but they said no one is interested in westerns,” Seymour added.

She explained, “there are so many streaming channels and so many different places these days. Ours wouldn’t be a remake, it would be a continuation it would be 25 years later and at the turn of the century and mostly the younger characters although Joe and I would be in there as well. All the originals want to come back.”

Seymour showed her comedic talent in the film “The Wedding Crashers” which paired her with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.

This led to starring roles alongside Robert DeNiro in the feature film “The War with Grandpa.”

Currently, she stars in “Harry Wild” which debuted in April on the streaming series Acorn TV. She plays a retired college professor who cannot stay quietly retired to the dismay of her police inspector son.

“All the Dr. Quinn fans are all insane about Harry Wild. They’ve gone nuts for it. It was sold globally like Dr. Quinn but it isn’t anything like Dr. Quinn. I play an English professor who has never been married but her son is a detective. She drinks too much wine.

She does what she wants when she wants.

She is super smart,” the actress added.

“She helps her son as a detective who has no idea how to catch the bad guy. She’s figured it out because of her knowledge of books and intrigue along with help from her 15-yearold sidekick,” Seymour said.

This year Seymour was also featured in the Australian film “Ruby’s Choice” as Ruby, a grandmother who suffers from dementia.

The film follows three generations of strong Australian women who struggle to deal with the effects of Ruby’s illness as it threatens to push them apart.

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.”

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.

“Let It Be: A Celebration Of The Music Of The Beatles”

ATLANTIC CITY – Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City and Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment announced today a 2022 partnership to co-present a fan-favorite Broadway show that will take place in Sound Waves inside the resort destination. This summer’s line up will “Let It Be: A Celebration of the Music of The Beatles” August 19 through 28.

“Hard Rock Atlantic City is thrilled to bring Broadway back to the boardwalk with Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment,” said Joe Lupo, president of Hard Rock Atlantic City. “We are happy to continue our partnership and bring shows like ‘Let It Be’ to our guests to celebrate some of music’s most legendary performers.”

“Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment is proud to partner again with Hard Rock Atlantic City to bring these iconic stories about the legends of rock n roll back to the Boardwalk,” says Bob Nederlander, Jr., President & CEO of Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment.

Tickets go on sale June 29 at HardRockHotelAtlanticCity.com and Ticketmaster.com or 800-7453000.

The 2022 shows include: “Let It Be: A Celebration of the Music of The Beatles” August 19 through 28.

Relive the past from Ed Sullivan to Abbey Road, with favorite hits including “Hard Day’s Night,” “Day Tripper,” “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “Twist and Shout,” “Get Back,” “I Wanna

Hold Your Hand,” “Strawberry Fields,” and imagine the reunion that never was with “Let It Be.” The end of The Beatles era was never thought to be in sight when The Beatles played their last show on the roof of Apple Offices in 1969. Imagine what would have been if The Beatles continued their journey. Enter a time capsule and turn back time to what would have been John Lennon’s 40th Birthday – October 9, 1980. For one night, the fab four come together again on stage after a decade apart performing other hits like “Back in the USSR,” “Live and Let Die,” “Got to Get you Into My Life,” “My Sweet Lord,” “Hey Jude,” and many more.

Seen by more than 2 million people worldwide, “Let It Be: A Celebration of the Music of the Beatles” made its North American debut in the Spring of 2015 with an eight-week run throughout the U.S. and Canada. Now, based on the Broadway show praised as “by bar the best Beatles show yet” (New York Times), Annerin Productions brings audiences a new revamped show for its 2016 touring season.

The original production, which established itself as one of the West End’s most popular shows when it opened in 2012, also recently celebrated having performed over 1,000 shows, showcased the music of the world’s most successful rock’n’roll band that charted the band’s meteoric rise from their humble beginnings in Liverpool’s Cavern Club, through the height of Beatlemania, to their later studio masterpieces that was packed with all your favorite hits.

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.

AroUnD the JerSeY Shore Meals On Wheels Wins $25,000 State Farm Grant

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 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 cur-

rently serve each day,” says Meals on W heels of Ocean County Executive Director James Sigu r d s on . “ T he Pick Up T he Tab (PUTT) program is a critical lifeline toward health and independence. We serve more than 1, 6 0 0 O c e a n 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

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE You’ll Never Be Left High And Dry As Long As Dr. Choxi is By Your Side

By Michael Vandenberg “There’s always some kind of suppor t available,” for patients struggling with pain, Dr. Sarah Choxi told me in a recent discussion. If you, like many of Garden State Medical Center’s new patients, have been told by other doctors that nothing could be done to alleviate your suffering, it’s time to think again.

When you combine the vast treatment options available at GSMC with Dr. Choxi and the rest of their pain management specialists (including founder Dr. Dharam Mann), that negativity simply doesn’t stand a chance.

Af ter all, her interest in helping people has driven her throughout her education and career. She decided to specialize in anesthesiology and interventional pain management because she saw how much those fields could change lives. “It was a way to help patients improve quality of life,” said Dr. Choxi. “It can be really difficult for people when they have pain to go through their nor mal day by day activities. So it was really important to me as a medical student, later on as a resident, and now as an attending to be able to restore their function and have very independent lives.” People who have c onditions that can’t be solved or are difficult to solve deserve the ability to be happy and pain-free.

Formerly at the University of Chicago, Dr. Choxi was drawn to GSMC’s same focus, as well as the innovative tools it has to make it happen. “It’s a very multi-dimensional perspective on managing p a i n ,” s h e said. Their solutions include medication management, injec tions, spinal cord stimulators, and countless others that have been proven safe and effective. Oftentimes a combination of techniques works best. “Patients aren’t cookie cutter. They’re very

unique and individual. So I think you need to have a plan in place that caters to their specific needs.”

Garden State Medical Center has always been on the cutting edge, so it’s only natural for them to have so much under their umbrella. If Dr. Choxi thinks you need to see a rheumatologist, don’t start looking at next month’s calendar; you can see one of her rheumatologist colleagues in-house in a matter of days.

She’ll probably even share her notes with them on their state - of-the -ar t electronic database, which will also help you to stay informed about your own care.

Being in-the-know about the options available to you is an important part of the culture at GSMC. Dr. Choxi remembers one patient in particular who was desperate for answers. She had heel surgery and, although it had physically healed, she was still feeling a ton of pain.

Unfortunately, the surgeon had been dismissive, telling her that there was no reason for her to be feeling discomfort. “She felt a little pushed around by him and sort of just pushed out the door,” Dr. Choxi remembered her saying. When she saw the patient, she told her, “No matter what, we’ll figure this out together.” Dr. Choxi gave her options: five to be exact.

The patient decided to go with an injection called a sympathetic nerve block, and just like that she achieved 90 percent relief. It was a l i f e - c h a n g i n g d i f f e r e n c e, giving her the ability to ex-

perience basic joys again in ways lots of people take for granted. Recently she went to a flea market with her husband and could actually just walk around for

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.
