Gilmore Will Again Chair Ocean County GOP

By Stephanie Faughnan OCEAN COUNTY - Thirteen may well be Ocean County Republican boss George Gilmore’s new lucky number.

Gilmore will once again head the Ocean County Republican Organization after he defeated Sheriff Michael Mastronardy

by a vote of 333 to 320 – a difference of just 13 votes.

Voting members were the 737 County Committee members elected in the June primary. While vacancies were filled by candidates, others were determined by writein votes. Some districts have no representation.

Nearly 89 percent of eligible members voted.

Three polling areas were set up throughout the county, with the main station at Ocean County College. Satellite locations also allowed voters to cast their ballots in Manahawkin and in Lakewood. At the (Gilmore- See Page 5)

Firefighters, First Aiders To Get Incentives

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – T he Township Council approved a new incentive for members of fire companies and EMS squads that would serve to thank first responders and broaden their ranks.

The ordinance grants a waiver to members of Jackson fire departments and EMS squads, per certain conditions, for certain township permits and fees.

“This was inspired about a year ago by firefighter Ralph Aponte who is in the audience tonight,” said Councilman Alex Sauicki, who had introduced the measure. Along with

input from other fire chiefs in the community, this served as an example of the governing body listening to its residents.

Reading the ordinance, Sauickie said, “these are people that give of their time, who keep us safe and this is a very small way of thanking them for doing that with things like waiving building permit fees for volunteering and helping us all keep safe.”

Aponte said following the passage of the ordinance, “thank you for appreciating what the fi rst responders do in this town. As you know (Incentives See Page 4)

Council Sounds Off On Supreme Court, State Budget

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Proposed state legislation and recent Supreme Court rulings were among the subjects discussed du r i ng t he cou ncil comment period during a r e ce nt Tow n sh ip Council meeting.

Councilman Nino Borrelli spoke about a resolution on the agenda that supported Senate Bill 2243 also

known as the “‘give it back bill’ which would return billions of dollars that the state has in surplus back to taxpayers in the form of $1,000 to married couples who file jointly or as head of household or surviving spouse.”

He noted it would provide $500 to single tax filers and married couples who file

Incentives:

Continued From Page 1 membership is down all over the country and I hope this will be some incentive to help us build our ranks for the first aid and fire companies in town.”

Mayor Michael Reina was absent for the evening’s session, but Business Administrator Terence Wall read comments in his

place.

Those comments included his support of volunteer ordinance. “It encompasses how much we admire and respect all our Jackson Township first responders and their families. When one looks at their determination and desire to help others and the time they invest day after day, ‘thank you’ does not completely cover our gratitude.

“Call after call, weather is never an issue.

Breakfasts, lunches, dinners and interrupt-

ed family time during religious and traditional holidays - these fine men and women answer call after call. They are always there,” the mayor’s letter added.

Civic Organizations In related news, Council Vice President Andrew Kern brought up an interesting comparison of costs.

Within the township’s normal payment of bills were 24 checks that needed to be cut,

he said. They went toward organizations that did roadside clean-ups on June 11.

“We’re doing two a year now. The second will be this fall. Non-profit organizations can come out such as Boy Scouts, the American Legion, different sports teams from the high schools and middle schools,” he said.

Kern noted that the respective groups take a particular section of roadway within Jackson “and clean that all up and make it look better and make the whole town look better.

“I was very happy with it and I realized that of the 24 organizations cost us only $1,200.

In that same bill list that came in, there is a $1,500 expense that we need to buy more Narcan. Organizations such as the Boy Scouts, American Legion, sports teams they all help to reduce the potential of overdoses (which Narcan is used to treat) from drug use by our children,” Kern added.

“One doesn’t exactly offset one from the other but I am asking the township administrator (Terence Wall) to see if we could advertise this on a much larger scale next time and really boost up the dollars in which the organizations can earn and if there are additional members, they can have two teams so we can make this as successful a program as we can.”

“We can certainly do that,” Wall responded.

Recent Events Councilmen Nino Borrelli, Steven Chisholm and Alex Sauickie also noted the success and good weather of last month’s Food Truck and Fireworks event held at Johnson Park.

This was the second year for the event and it drew a large crowd with around 15 food trucks, several township booths, two musical bands, plus basketball and cornhole tournaments.

The councilmen thanked Joey Lynn Anderson who heads the Township’s Recreation Department, Business Administrator Terence Wall, the Department of Public Works and all those involved with the event.

Chisholm also encouraged residents to come out to Jackson Day this autumn.

Acting Township Clerk This marked the second meeting for Deputy Clerk Mary Moss as acting clerk as Township Clerk Diane Festino resigned last month. Festino was sworn in to office in December 2021, following the retirement of Clerk Janice Kisty and Moss was sworn in during that same meeting as the new deputy clerk replacing Festino in that role.

Gilmore:

Continued From Page 1

Southern Ocean County location, the vote was 75 to 45 in Gilmore’s favor. In Lakewood, Mastronardy secured the majority with 71 votes, while Gilmore received a total of nine.

Not all of the hundreds who flocked to the Ocean County Republican Committee’s meeting were eligible to vote as party county committee members. State, county, and local elected officials were among the group gathered at Ocean County College voting headquarters. Gilmore continued to work the room until the last vote was cast and mingled with the crowd.

Ruthanne Scaturro was on the ballot as Gilmore’s running mate and will become his vice chair. Scaturro secured 325 votes putting her in the lead over her opponent Barbara Lanuto, who received 311 votes.

Outgoing Ocean County Republican Committee Chairman Frank Holman III announced the results, and abruptly left the podium. By that time, the crowd had dwindled down to approximately 100 people.

Gilmore took over the microphone at that point and said the agenda called for the new chairman to speak after the votes were counted. He said he was okay with the fact that the item was seemingly cut out at the last minute.

“Ruth and I have worked very hard to try and bring this organization together,” said Gilmore.

“We want to get everyone rowing in the same direction to defeat Democrats.

“Some people aren’t going to be happy,” Gilmore acknowledged. “We saw people on the (County

The Jackson Times, July 16, 2022, Page 5 Commissioner) level endorsing him (Mastronardy). But I had the people endorsing me.”

Gilmore said his election means there will no longer be fear in the Ocean County Republican Organization. He said there would not be any type of intimidation and that he wanted everyone to work together and support the candidates of their choice.

Scaturro echoed Gilmore’s sentiments and said the two plan to make sure everybody has a voice.

She said the team ran a grassroots campaign with the efforts of a number of people.

Mastronardy remains on the November ballot for Ocean County Sheriff. When asked if he will support Gilmore as chairman, he had a simple answer: “I will continue to support the GOP in Ocean County.”

from Gilmore seeking public office.

Trump had been accused of taking bribes in exchange for pardons. Gilmore said he made no political contributions or any type of financial donation in exchange for the pardon. Meanwhile, his adversaries point out that former While House Political Director Bill Stepien once served as the Executive Director for the Ocean County GOP when Gilmore was chair.

After Gilmore stepped down, the county Republican organization held a special election in 2019 to choose his successor. Frank Holman III, who now lives in Waretown, narrowly beat Frank Sadeghi of Toms River by less than 30 votes.

Holman announced his decision to step down as the Ocean County Republican chair earlier this year. He endorsed Mastronardy.

Conviction And Pardon Gilmore’s recent conviction on federal tax charges was one of the biggest issues of the campaign. He had held the chairman spot for 23 years from 1996 to 2019 and stepped down after he was convicted of making false statements on a mortgage application and failure to collect, account for and pay over payroll taxes. He was found guilty of the charges in federal court in January 2020. He had appealed and lost. An attorney, Gilmore lost his law license and resigned from public office, including his chairmanship role and as head of the Ocean County Board of Elections.

On the eve of President Donald Trump’s last day in office, the outgoing president pardoned Gilmore. The pardon has allowed him to reinstate his law license, although he’s not sure how he’ll use it at this point. Gilmore – or his firm – had been the municipal attorney for a number of local towns.

Trump’s actions also remove any perceived bars

Unity Mastronardy had said his goal in running for chairman was to stop some of the in-fighting that has become prevalent among Ocean County Republicans over the last couple of years.

“We’re on a mission to get people back in the fold and get away from the underlying current of tension that has resulted in a lot of negativity,” said Mastronardy. “We want to get people back working together so we are not wasting our efforts, and instead, concentrating on good governance.”

The sheriff acknowledged that Gilmore encouraged him to run for his current position when he was retiring as chief of the Toms River Police Department years ago. Mastronardy said Gilmore helped get him elected to the position during his first run.

“This isn’t personal,” Mastronardy continued.

“Unfortunately, George has some situations financially he has to straighten out. I think the

average person looking at the whole picture would be concerned about someone with that much financial pressure. It’s not advantageous to be in the position of chairman with those types of problems.”

Trump’s pardon of Gilmore alleviated some of his issues, including the need for him to serve time in federal jail. However, court records show that Gilmore owes nearly $5,000,000 in unpaid judgments with more to come. Much of the money is due to the Internal Revenue Service.

Several elected officials professed their support for Mastronardy as the Party Chair. For example, there was a letter signed by all five of the Ocean County Commissioners.

“Please know that this Board stands united,” reads the endorsement letter. “Not only for Mike Mastronardy and Barbara Lanuto as the best and honest choice for Chair and Vice-Chair but, more importantly, for good government.”

This endorsement was surprising. Jack Kelly, Ocean County Commissioner Director, and Gilmore are business partners in a consulting firm. Gilmore helped many of the commissioners in their previous elections. Gilmore also ran two candidates to challenge the commissioners in this year’s primary. His candidates lost by a large margin.

Gilmore says the reason he decided to seek back his old role was also because he wanted a more unified Republican party in Ocean County.

“I’ve seen the organization split significantly because of fear of retaliation and reprisals,” stated Gilmore. “Even though I supported Sadeghi, I wrote a letter after Holman won. I told everyone we all had to get behind him and continue this great organization.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Responses To Letters We’ve had several responses to letters that we’ve published recently.

That shows our letters are getting people thinking, and that’s great.

Sometimes, we’ll run

the responses, particularly if they add to the conversation. I like it when residents have thoughtful takes on topics. I especially like it when they are local issues.

You might notice that

sometimes the previous letter writer is mentioned by name and sometimes they aren’t. That’s because of my editing. A few years back, a writer was upset that another person called them out by name in an angry letter. The injured party said it would be better if we hadn’t published his name

with the angry rebuttal. I figured that was fair. So now, whenever someone writes a glowing letter, the previous writer’s name is included. If they write an angry letter, the previous writer’s name is cut.

I don’t want it to become a back and forth, when two people start arguing in the

letters page. This isn’t what this is supposed to be about.

Angry responses don’t necessarily run. I’m more likely to run a compliment and put a little more positivity into the world. Sometimes, I get a letter that’s just insulting someone.

Those don’t get published.

If you want to see that

kind of argument, go to Facebook.

But if you want to have thoughtful and emotional conversation about issues that impact you, then read the letters section of your local newspaper.

Letters To The Editor A Larger Supreme Court Would Be Unbalanced Editor’s note: This letter is a response to “Expand The Supreme Court.”

In rebuttal to the letter of July 2, 2022, in support of expanding the Supreme Court, I would like to put forward a differing opinion.

The recent decision by SCOTUS regarding abortion has rekindled the desire among many Democrats to expand, or “pack-the-court” with additional justices, presumably liberal in nature, so as to “balance,” or even tilt the court to a more liberal bias. Liberals have historically looked to SCOTUS to legislate from the bench when they find it difficult or impossible to make law through Congress, as the Founders had intended.

There is a reason why our Republic was set up with three separate and equally powerful branches – Executive, Legislative and Judicial.

The checks and balances

inherent in this arrangement presumably prevent any one branch from becoming as powerful as to preclude the others from exercising their particular powers. The Supreme Court was not created to make law. If it were, it would be part of the legislative branch, which it is not.

The job of the Supreme Court is to adjudicate over legal discrepancies according to constitutional law, not create law.

When SCOTUS ruled on June 24, it did not ban abortion. It returned the question of abortion back to the states, as is consistent with a Republic. Any federal laws, no matter the subject, should be codified by Congress, and then passed on to the President for approval or veto.

The letter writer urges “Congress to pass the Judiciary Act” of 2021 to add four new seats to the Court. Under the current administration, this would not balance the Court. It would tilt the Court to favor liberal doctrine. The likelihood of Congress voting favorably for expansion of the

Court is highly questionable.

There are Democrats who realize the folly of this. The number of Supreme Court Justices has been changed seven times in our history, each time for partisan political reasons. It is just as easily changed back when an opposing administration takes over. It is not a lasting solution.

If we as a people, as a nation, wish to legalize abortion, then that law must be codified by Congress. Democrats realize this will not happen.

The votes are not there. This is why liberals need the Supreme Court to legislate from the bench, because they cannot get this law through Congress.

I am not qualified to express an opinion on abortion. I will never become pregnant, and I would never try and “Mansplain” to any woman how she should think on the subject.

But I am an American citizen, and I do have an opinion as to how our government works, and on how our laws are derived.

When Politics Became More Important Than Principles I shall not be alive much longer. I’ve had enough time in this world!

Let me tell you why I do not dread leaving this place.

I’ve always believed that the USA was the greatest nation on earth. This may or may not be true; but it was the underlying per-

ception providing me with confidence that America was especially blessed and, although never perfect, capable of self-correction and self-improvement.

The Preamble of our Constitution commences with WE THE PEOPLE. This little masterpiece explains the purposes of our founding document, a Constitution totally new to the world in its day.

To establish a more perfect union; to establish justice; to ensure domestic tranquility; to provide for the national defense; to ensure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our prosperity…etc.!

Alas! What has become of this venture dedicated to the common good of all citizens?

I’ll tell you. We’ve resumed our disastrous Civil War! The Republican Party was in those days on the right side of history, against the barbarism of slavery, upon which the southern states’ economy was based. Slaves were very valuable commodities, not even human!

There have been exceptional Republican presidents and Congress(wo)men in the past, but I am full of dread and remorse at what has become of the Republican Party!

When thugs assault the very center and symbol of our democracy, incited and encouraged by numerous Republican members of Congress in perverse loyalty to a former demigod-president of questionable loyalties, I mourn the death of that Preamble and of the Constitution itself!

And these many Republi-

Biden Solved The Baby Formula Shortage I am taking this time to give a much-delayed shout out to show support for Joe Biden for fixing the baby formula shortage.

That might seem like ancient history right now, and it’s because of his hard work.

He reopened a production facility, used the Defense Production Act to increase supply, and cut a bunch of red tape to get the job done.

There was a problem – a huge problem – and his administration solved it.

What Will The Press Make Of Sarah Palin?

Before Donald Trump was the subject of media torture lasting years like we have never seen before, Sarah Palin lived through that type of hell when she was John McCain’s running mate for the presidency.

Sarah is now saying “I am back,” and she is running for Alaska’s House seat this fall.

I watched what Sarah lived through, and I was thrilled she made a whole bunch of money after that political insanity by writing books etc., and she is making a comeback after monetizing her popularity. Good for her.

But, is she forgotten when time comes to campaigning for the House seat, or is she going to “go through Sarah Palin haters hell” again?

The Tr ump haters, of course, are also Sarah Palin haters. Do they have enough energy to split their time between the other candidates supported by Trump, and Sarah, or will they give Sarah a pass?

People who chronicle elections will have a doozy to write about in the fall, from this viewpoint, even though this upcoming election will focus on many other really serious life changing issues.

$17.5 Million Will Feed Families, Support Restaurants From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON – The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) announced plans to award grants totaling $17.5 million to 30 nonprofit organizations through Phase 3 of its successful Sustain & Ser ve NJ program. Sustain & Ser ve NJ provides eligible entities with grants to support the purchase of meals from New Jersey restaurants that have been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and the distribution of those meals at no cost to recipients. The additional $17.5 million in awards announced recently brings total program funding to $52.5 million.

Sustain & Serve NJ launched during the pandemic as a $2 million pilot program to boost restaurants impacted by COVID and has grown into an over $50 million program that continues to bring much-needed food to people across New Jersey. Since February 2021, Sustain & Serve NJ has already supported the purchase of more than 3.5 million meals from over 400 restaurants in all 21 counties with grants totaling $35 million.

Phase 3 of Sustain & Ser ve NJ is f unded by $10 million allocated by Governor Phil Murphy from the federal American Rescue Plan and ap-

proximately $7.5 million in State funding. Funding f rom this latest phase is expected to suppor t t he purchase of an additional 1.5 million meals.

“Sustain & Serve NJ has become a national model for addressing food insecu r it y, suppor ting small businesses that are the hear tbeat of our downtowns, and providing funding to the nonprof it entities that deliver vit al services,” said Lt. Governor Sheila Y. Oliver. “Combatting hunger remains a top priority and it is more critical than ever that nonprofits have the resources they need to feed the people within their communities.”

“Throughout the pandemic, Governor Murphy has challenged us to employ i n novat ive met hod s for suppor t i ng businesses, nonprofits, and New Jerseyans in need and Sustain & Serve NJ has been a tremendous asset in helping us meet that goal,” said NJEDA Chief Executive Officer Tim Sullivan. “We have an obligation to aid our fellow New Jerseyans who face food insecurity every single day. Nonprofit organizations and restaurants are critical allies in that mission and supporting them is an important part of our commitment to eradicating hunger, creating jobs, and fueling the economic growth and security of our state.”

Sullivan noted that Sustain & Serve NJ is a key part of the NJEDA’s efforts to strengthen the economic security of all New Jerseyans. The Authority

is putting forth a multi-pronged strategy to eliminate food deserts within the state and to bolster the child care sector, an industry whose critical importance was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The NJEDA is also working with partners statewide to create a Maternal and Infant Health Innovation Center in Trenton as part of First Lady Tammy Murphy’s Nurture NJ initiative to make New Jersey the

safest and most equitable place to give birth in the country.

“Real economic prosperity can only be achieved when everyone’s needs are being addressed, including the most basic need for food security,” said NJEDA’s Executive Vice President of Economic Security Tara Colton.

“Sustain & Serve NJ grantees are extraordinary nonprofit organizations who are committed to feeding their neighbors and supporting their communities with respect and dignity.”

Debris:

Continued From Page 1

Parks, and the Public Works departments from Toms River and Berkeley collected three, 30-yard containers of trash and debris.

In another location, Toms River Public Works, Ocean County Parks, the DEP and Veolia (formerly Suez water) were out and about. They also had more than a thousand kids cleaning up their school grounds, parks, and beaches in Toms River, Bar negat, Little Egg Harbor, Su rf Cit y, Beachwood, and Pine Beach.

In the Plumsted/Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area, crews collected 10 bags of garbage. T he bags were transported out with the help of alpacas. Other locations included Allaire Park in Wall and Great Bay Boulevard in Little Egg Harbor.

The clean-ups were part of the Barnegat Bay Blitz, an event started by the DEP in 2011, said Karen Walzer, Public Outreach Coordinator for the Barnegat Bay Partnership, which is the group that took the lead on organizing the blitz since 2019.

“Litter is everywhere – on our streets, in our parks, on our shorelines, and in the water. Blown by the wind on trash day, tossed out car windows, intentionally dumped – however it gets there,

it’s an eyesore and bad for the environment,” Walzer said. “The Barnegat Bay Blitz brings volunteers together with one goal in mind – removing litter to keep the land and water in the Barnegat Bay watershed (land area that drains to the bay) clean.”

Volunteers got into kayaks to clean Lake Shenandoah in Lakewood, Tuckerton Creek at the Tuckerton Seaport, and on the bay in Eagleswood. Divers from the Berkeley Underwater Search and Rescue team removed trash from t he b ot t om of C e d a r Cr e ek . Some people took boats to bay islands off Seaside Heights.

“Through all of these efforts, Blitz volunteers removed a total of 172 bags of trash and 57 tons of larger household and construction debris,” Walzer said.

“This year’s Blitz was made possible by a generous donation from the Knudson family in the name of their parents, R ichard and Karen K nudson, longtime residents of Barnegat Township.

Thanks to their support, the bay and land around it is safer and cleaner.”

Meanwhile, the DEP focused its cleanup efforts on other areas of the state.

One of the 28 National Estuary Programs, the Barnegat Bay Partnership works to protect and restore the water quality and natural resources of the bay and its entire watershed.

Gilmore:

Continued From Page 5 According to Gilmore, shortly thereafter, Holman had a meeting with John Bacchione, who is a Berkeley Township Councilman. Allegedly, Holman said Berkeley was “an island on its own” and would never get any money from the county committee. The county elites also decided against supporting Bacchione in his race against now Commissioner Bobbi Jo Crea.

“Brick Township had a chance last year to win several seats on the governing body,” Gilmore said. “They haven’t won an election in twelve

The Jackson Times, July 16, 2022, Page 9 years because of some mistakes Republicans made when they were in power.”

Gilmore claims the county decided they would not provide the Brick candidates any money because he and Jack Kelly were running the campaigns. Nonetheless, Gilmore said he, Kelly, and the Brick Republican chair raised over $100,000 and ended up winning a seat.

Other issues in Manchester and South Toms River led Gilmore to believe that the current regime isn’t playing fair when it comes to doling out financial assistance. The formation of a new Republican club in Toms River served as further evidence that the party is split in Ocean County.

Dive Into “New Jersey Shipwrecks” At The Library

JACKSON – Travel the storm-tossed New Jersey surf through history with noted local author Margaret Thomas Buchholz during “New Jersey Shipwrecks,” at the Ocean County Library Jackson Branch, 2 Jackson Drive, on July 25 at 2 p.m.

Through illustrations, photographs, and harrowing writings of survivors and observers, the program will explore the treacherous shoals and inlets of the “Graveyard of the Atlantic.” It will also highlight the 1848 founding of the Lifesaving Service, and its development into the U.S. Coast Guard.

Margaret co-authored Great Storms of the Jersey Shore, which The New York Times called “one of the best documented compendiums ever published of what it meant to be there.” Her New Jersey Shipwrecks: 350 Years in the Graveyard of the Atlantic won the Foundation for Coast Guard History award.

She also wrote Island Album: Photographs and Memories of Long Beach Island and Josephine: From Washington Working Girl to Fisherman’s Wife, and edited Long Beach Island Chronicles and Long Beach Island Reader. Her Shore-oriented essays appear in two anthologies, Four Seasons at

JACKSON – Members of the Jackson Police Department along with family and friends of Captain Steven Laskiewicz #211 and Lieutenant Francisco Mendez #224 came out to headquarters on the afternoon of June 30 to congratulate both in a walk out ceremony on their retirement from the agency.

Capt. Laskiewicz was raised in Sayreville and was a graduate of Sayreville War Memorial High School. He attended Middlesex County College and completed an electrician apprenticeship with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers local #358 Capt. Laskiewicz started his career as an Auxiliary Police Officer with the Sayreville Police Department in 1994 and attended the Middlesex County Auxiliary Police Academy. In 1995, Captain Laskiewicz received a notice of appointment to attend the Los Angeles Police Academy and was scheduled to move to California but chose to remain in New Jersey where he was appointed as a police officer with Monroe Township in 1996. Capt. Laskiewicz was later hired and appointed as a police officer with Jackson Police in July of 1996.

During his tenure with the agency, Capt.

Laskiewicz was assigned to the 4-12 patrol shift where he also later served with the department’s Special Response Team, and as a Field Training Officer and was involved in updating the FTO program in the early 2000s In February of 2005 he was assigned to the Ocean County Narcotics Strike Force before returning to Jackson Police in June of 2005 where he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant.

During this time, he was assigned to the midnight shift as the patrol sergeant. Capt.

Laskiewicz was later transferred to the afternoon shift as a patrol sergeant in 2006. In 2008 he began instructing the agency in Use of Force during annual in-service training.

In November of 2011, Capt. Laskiewicz was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant

A few years later, in November of 2015, Captain Laskiewicz was promoted to the rank of Captain and assigned as the Uniformed Services Division Commander before being assigned as the Investigative Services Division Commander in 2019.

During his tenure he was proudly involved in the formation of the detective bureau’s newly formed Special Enforcement Unit.

From May 2021 through October 2021, Captain Laskiewicz was assigned as full time Accreditation Manager and worked with Sgt. Dave Watson, P.O. Chris Schinder and multiple other officers as the agency worked to attain accredited status through the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, which was granted to the agency at the NJSACOP Accreditation meeting in October 2021.

January of 2022 saw Captain Laskiewicz return as Investigative Services Division Commander which was the position he finally retired from.

Detective Lieutenant Francisco Mendez was born In Brooklyn, NY and raised in Staten Island.

After graduating high school, D. Lt. Mendez enlisted in the U.S. Army, graduated basic training and advanced infantry training at Fort Benning, Georgia before going to his permanent duty station: Fort Ord, California with the 7th Infantry Division.

In 1989, he was deployed to the Republic of Panama. The 7th Infantry was instrumental in taking Manuel Noriega into U.S. custody and liberating Panama. D. Lt. Mendez was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge along with the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal and National Defense Service Medal.

D. Lt. Mendez started his law enforcement career at Brookdale College Police Department in 1993. In 1994, he became a Class II Special at Keansburg Police Department, before becoming a full time Police Officer for Keansburg Borough Police Department (Ceremony - See Page 11)

Ceremony:

Continued From Page 10 in 1996. During his time at Keansburg Borough Police Department, he worked as an undercover narcotics detective for two years with the Bayshore Narcotics Task Force.

In 2001, D. Lt. Mendez was hired by the Jackson Police Department. While in the patrol division, he was a Field Training Officer, advisor to the Jackson Police Explorer Post, member and later supervisor of the ATV patrol unit, member of the Jackson Police Special Response Team, and a member of the Ocean County Regional SWAT Team. He was also an instructor at the Ocean County Police Academy and an In-service training instructor at JPD for Use of Force and Arrest Search and Seizure During his tenure, D. Lt. Mendez was recognized as the agency’s Officer of the Year in 2006 and again in 2009. He was additionally awarded four Unit Citations, Veteran’s Ribbon, Good Conduct Ribbon, Achievement Ribbon and Letter of Com-

The Jackson Times, July 16, 2022, Page 11 mendation. He was also honored by the Ocean County 200 Club for dealing with an armed emotionally disturbed person, taken into custody without injury to anyone.

In December of 2008, D. Lt. Mendez was assigned to the detective bureau where he served for numerous years before being promoted to the rank of Sergeant in 2011 and transferred back to the Patrol Division where he was later awarded Supervisor of the Year in 2015.

D. Lt. Mendez was then re-assigned to Investigative Services Division as Detective Sergeant in 2015 where he would remain as he was later promoted to the rank of Detective Lieutenant in 2021 which is the position he retired from. During his tenure, D. Lt. Mendez was instrumental in the agency’s hiring process, revamping the system which allowed the agency to hire professional candidates and police officers.

The members of the Jackson Police Department wish Captain Laskiewicz, Detective Lieutenant Mendez and their families the best as they enter the next phase of life being retired.

Officers Graduate From Motorcycle School JACKSON – The Jackson Police Department have recently supplemented their motorcycle unit with the graduation of four officers from the Philadelphia Highway Patrol Motorcycle School.

Officers had to endure this very exhaustive and demanding 80-hour training course which tested their riding capabilities and in turn earned them their Highway Wings. These Wings symbolize the qualifications of the motor officer, not only skilled in the safe operation of the police motorcycle, but professional in character, integrity and appearance.

Congratulations to P.O. Robert Reiff, P.O. Randall Trasky, P.O. Matthew Colangelo and P.O. Tristan Bennett (Not Pictured) for this accomplishment and you will be seeing them on the road in the near future on police motorcycles.

Gardening For Hearing

Nothing says springtime like seedlings and fresh compost for a bountiful new season in the garden. Planning your homegrown fruits and vegetables? Consider these yard-to-table superstars to help support healthy hearing.

Blueberries. Who can resist a batch of berries just waiting to jump into a smoothie, pie, or stack of pancakes? Songbirds love to snack on them, too. And blueberries offer vitamin C, which, combined with magnesium and vitamins A and E, may help thwart noise-induced hearing loss.

Kale. The always-reliable kale’s versatility — use it solo or in soups, salads, lasagna, and more — is matched by its hardiness. This timeless leafy green includes folate, which may help reduce risk of hearing loss in older men when taken at higher levels. * Pumpkins. Direct-sow this favorite no earlier than late May for summer or fall harvesting. Freshly collected pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc, which supports the immune system and — in an oral-medication form — might help improve tinnitus. ** Tomatoes. The tomato, a garden staple, has earned its place as a fruit to cultivate.

It’s rich in a wealth of nutrients including

potassium, an important mineral for regulating blood and tissue fluid levels — including in the inner ear, which plays an important role in hearing and balance.

Dr. Izzy & his Staff are here to answer most of your hearing health questions.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

The 3 Surprising Reasons Gastrin Should Be Measured

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. People talk of stomach problems and tummy aches, belching and pain. But some people have fatigue, or psychiatric issues. Often the blood testing work-up for these conditions does not include one important hormone called “gastrin” which I think should be measured.

Gastrin is a hormone produced in your stomach and duodenum and helps to digest food. When gastrin is elevated, it means that stomach acid production has declined.

If your stomach acid is low, then gastrin levels naturally rise. Gastrin comes to the rescue and says “Stomach cells, you need to make us more stomach acid.” Gastrin is important because it helps you to produce HCL, as in hydrochloric acid which is how you digest your meals.

Consumers have been taught to dislike stomach acid, but you shouldn’t. You need proper levels of stomach acid. And gastrin is a hormone that responds to the amount of stomach acid present in your stomach on any given day. If there’s not enough acid, gastrin will rise to stimulate acid production. By the way, the term hypochlorhydria is used for people with low stomach acid levels.

Measuring gastrin levels with a blood test is something that lends tremendous insight. High gastrin is often associated with hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid) and may cause any of the following: • Belching • Flatulence immediately after eating • Bad breath • Heartburn • Fatigue • Frequent infections The reason these symptoms occur is

because a condition of hypochlorhydria means that you are no longer able to extract and absorb essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, copper, zinc, B12, folate and protein. Regardless of the body’s weight, the cells are starving for nutrition due to the lack of these nutrients… which I’m saying could be due to the lack of acid. Supplements of betaine are often used. Work with a practitioner if you’d like to correct your acid levels with betaine. Don’t just take betaine because it will hurt you if you have normal or high stomach acid.

And now, for the three surprising reasons gastrin levels should be evaluated with a blood test: 1. You have chronic GI complaints such as flatulence right after eating, diarrhea, heartburn, reflux and early satiety which means you feel full quickly.

2. You have chronic fatigue which could mean you have anemia, or hypothyroidism.

3. If you have anxiety or psychiatric concerns. A negative mood has been associated with higher gastrin levels. It may be tied to increased adrenergic activity, but regardless of the cause, mood is definitely impacted by shifts in gastrin and this comes as a surprise to most practitioners.

Gastrin is a good hormone, it supports stomach health, and assists with small intestine and pancreatic function. It helps you metabolize all the food on your plate and extract critical life-sustaining minerals. But like any good thing, you want normal levels of gastrin.

separately. “This is a really good start but real sustainable tax relief, especially property tax relief for Jackson and “other state taxpayers won’t occur until we have a governor and state legislature who provides fair public school funding formula.”

Borrelli said the state funding formula shouldn’t prioritize school districts of urban areas of the state over suburban and rural areas “like Jackson and who don’t cede authority to unelected judges in unelected states, the Supreme Court. The huge surplus that state has should also be used to pay down the almost $250 billion dollars in state debt and growing.

“We pay down our debt in Jackson on the local level and families do that with their household budgets. The State should not be the exception,” Borrelli said, urging residents to contact the governor’s office at 609-292-6000 and demand the tax relief bill be passed and signed into law.

“I hope other mu nicipalities also adopt this resolution and support the bill and send a message to Trenton,” the councilman added.

Councilman Steven Chisholm commended the United States’ and New York’s s up r e me c ou r t s. “ T he New Yor k Su p r e me C ou r t of a l l pla c e s came out and told New York City that

they absolutely, positively can not be a sanctuary city and allow people, illegal immigrants to vote.

“There is no statutory ability for the city of New York to issue inconsistent laws permitting non-citizens to vote and exceed the authority granted to it by the New York State constitution.

Though voting is a right that so many citizens take for granted, the city of New York cannot obviate the restrict ions i n place by t he Const it ut ion.

Amen! Thank you for doing your job, New York Supreme Court,” the councilman added.

“While we’re at it we might as well commend the U.S. Supreme Court they had three ver y active cases…one of which was seven years in the making,” Chisholm said. “A poor football coach was not allowed to pray with his students after a game.

“We’re not talking about major prayers we’re just saying guys thank you very much we appreciate your doing a good job. After seven years the U.S. Supreme Court said yes, its true prayers after a school football game, though visible to students is in no way represented as a government permitted establishment or endorsement of religion contrary to the erroneous rulings of the U.S. Court of Appeals in the 9th Circuit, surprise,” Councilman Chisholm said.

He also noted “Roe vs. Wade being overturned so you can take that for what it is worth.” Chisholm also reminded residents that this Independence Day marked the 246th anniversary of the nation.

Inside The Law If You Are A Victim Of An Accident Michael J. Deem, Esq. Or Other Incident, Remember Social Media Is Not Your Friend By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Once an injury claim is reported to an insurance company their number one priority is to stop the bleeding. Not your bleeding; their bleeding! The primary concern of any insurance company is to find a way to not pay your claim, so you will be immediately investigated.

What Do Insurance Adjusters Look For After A Claim Is Filed?

A personal injury claim is built on evidence. While your lawyer is compiling evidence to support your claim, the insurance adjuster on the other side is looking for ways to undermine it.

Beware of prying eyes. Your social media accounts are full of tidbits — even your most innocent posts, photos, or those you are tagged in — can be woven together and used against you. Even posts made by your family and friends are fair game for an aggressive adjuster. Even if all your social media accounts are protected with the strictest privacy controls, sometimes harmful information finds its way into the hands of the adjuster. It’s used as evidence to reduce their financial exposure or, worse yet, to prevent you from receiving any compensation at all.

Adjusters look for the weakest link. If they sense you lack self-control, they may try to friend you on Facebook or follow you on Instagram. They also may try to buddy up to your friends to get insider information about you and the accident.

Even your posts on dating sites can be mined and used against you.

What to Do on Social Media After a Car Accident Avoid doing anything on social media that could hurt your claim. You only have one opportunity to get this right, so you should leave nothing to chance. Tell your friends to refrain from posting anything about you or tagging you in photos on social media — past, present, or future.

If you see the need to delete anything from your accounts, ask your attorney fi rst. It could be seen as an attempt to

destroy evidence.

What Not to Do on Social Media After a Car Accident Sharing information about your case on social media makes it public. You instantly give up any confidentiality protections.

The defense can subpoena it and use it against you. It’s best to post nothing.

For this reason, keep in mind the following: • Don’t reply to questions from your friends or family asking about how you’re feeling.

• Don’t post photos of yourself exercising or doing anything physical.

• Don’t post any medical information or anything from your attorney.

• Don’t post “check-ins.”

• Don’t accept “friend” or “follow” requests from people you don’t know.

• Don’t bad-mouth the insurance company.

• Don’t defend your actions during the accident.

• Don’t send texts or private messages.

• Don’t lie, especially about when events occurred. Everything online is timestamped and can be used against you.

Contact R.C. Shea & Associates If You Have Been Injured If you’re the victim of an accident then choosing the right personal injury lawyer is the most important decision you will make. At R.C. Shea & Associates, a firm with over 35 year of experience, a Certified Civil Trial Layer will handle your case. There’s nothing to lose and everything to gain by scheduling a free consultation.

“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 800-745-3000.

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

─Photo courtesy Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City 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.

GALLOWAY – Hall of Famers, Andree Reed and Sterling Sharpe, will be playing a round of golf with 12 other celebrities on September 8, at Ron Jaworski’s Blue Heron Pines Golf Club. The NFL alumni and other celebrities were all in once informed they would be supporting the NJ active military and their families who are living in distress.

Dine on Us is on a mission to provide off base dining and entertainment opportunities to our active NJ military and their families who are not able to do so for themselves due to economic hardship.

By partnering with local restaurants and boardwalk entertainment spots, Dine on Us receives one donated gift card for each gift card purchased of the same value.

Dine on Us would like to provide a long overdue family night out, a much-needed date night, entertainment, groceries, and gas gift cards. These custom “care packages” will be valued at $350 each. Dine on Us is working with the American Legion Post 129 and the Red Cross to distribute these care packages to over 125 families on our NJ bases who are in distress.

Join on September 8 by registering your foursome online at dineonus.org. Based on your sponsorship level, you will have your choice of listed celebrity to play your round of golf with. This will be a fi rst come, fi rst served basis. What a great opportunity for your foursome to hear some of the celebrities’ great stories and

─Photo courtesy Dine On Us history of their sport as you play an entire round of golf with them.

The money raised from this event will help Dine on Us create a Christmas experience that our NJ Active Military Families will never forget including a wish list from all their children.

In addition to the round of golf, Dine on Us will have a vacation getaway for two to Kiawah Island Resort experience.

This trip will be available for all golfers and non-golfers to win. One winner will be picked on September 8th at the dinner after the round of golf. You do not have to participate in the event or be present to win.

Register your foursome or purchase your Kiawah Island getaway tickets at dineonus.org.

Murphy Administration Provides Over $794M To Hospitals NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) released the fiscal year 2023 hospital Charity Care, Graduate Medical Education (GME), and Graduate Medical Education Supplemental (GME-S) funding distributions. This is part of over $794 million in hospital funding provided in the FY2023 Appropriations Act signed

by Governor Murphy on Thursday.

“The Department recognizes the continued efforts of New Jersey’s hospitals to provide care to our uninsured residents at no cost, in spite of staffing challenges and the need to respond to ongoing COVID-19 challenges,” said Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli. “The hospitals have continued to provide high quality of care to the state’s most vulnerable citizens through the Charity Care Program and continue to train the state’s next generation of doctors through the Graduate Medical Education funding.”

NJDOH also continues to support Graduate Medical Education funding, providing $218 million to all teaching hospitals and

$24 million in additional funding to the 14 hospitals that serve the greatest proportion of individuals enrolled in New Jersey Medicaid.

The budget includes $342 million in Charity Care funding, which is distributed to all 71 hospitals in the state and is used to support hospitals’ delivery of free or reduced cost hospital care for low-income, uninsured, and underinsured patients. The distribution of charity care is primarily based on the uncompensated care provided by each hospital.

The State also continues its commitment to improving maternal outcomes and connections to behavioral health care by dedicating $210 million to the Quality Improvement Program in FY2023. All acute care hospitals are eligible to participate in this program.

The FY2023 hospital funding distribution for Charity Care, GME, and GME-S can be found at: nj.gov/health/ hcf/subsidies.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of June 16 - june 22

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): An unexpected phone call may bring good news or clarity, and someone might intrigue you by sharing an array of romantic notions in the upcoming week. Cut through the parts that don’t feel relevant; embrace what does.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Let romance take a backseat to fact-finding in the week ahead. You may be accustomed to harmonious relationships, but it takes two to make that a reality. Remember your opinion is just one of many.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be tempted to roam too far for love. Don’t form any romantic attachments based on mere infatuation in the week ahead. You will fit in much better with good friends or a discussion group.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can deftly navigate the gap between fact and fiction, so shine your light when you have a chance to explore inspiring ideas in the upcoming week.

Capitalize on your ability to present yourself with confidence.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may spend more time than usual with friends or in your inner world. Displaying self-discipline and organizational skills could put you at the head of the pack by the end of the week. Meet deadlines promptly to hold your own.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your friendliness can dial your popularity up a notch. You may need to be more discriminating about your tribe in the upcoming week. Someone who wants to get closer might not be who you think they are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t let someone new become the center of your life when you are just an option in theirs. You can handle workplace situations in an imaginative way, but some people may misunderstand your intentions this week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Trying to get over on someone always returns in kind, so a cooperative approach is a better choice. You may be more satisfied as the week unfolds if you make your own way, keep your feet on the ground and perform diligent research.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Circulate and meet new people, but don’t attach too much meaning to someone’s innocent flirtation. Stay at a safe distance from new contacts and avoid steamy romantic encounters in the week to come.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can give up or give it all you’ve got. Map out strategies to keep your money safe or to keep your business in the black as this week unfolds. Avoiding waste is always a sound business practice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do a reality check before you whip out a credit card in the week ahead. Be sure to ask for advice from trusted advisers before you make a major purchase or investment. You may end up with extra duties.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your desire for romantic encounters could distract you from concrete accomplishments in the week ahead. You could fall behind or experience some awkward moments if you indulge in too many fantasies.
