Whales Close To Shore: What Does It Mean?
TOMS RIVER - With the AMC Seacourt 10 Movie theater closing, it’s not hard to feel like a little piece of the community will go with it. Back in the day, it was Loews Theaters, then Sony Theaters, until finally switching to AMC. But most of us knew it simply as Seacourt theater.

I could tell stories for hours of late-night movies with employees, after-hour laser tag games, and butter flavored topping drinking contests, but one that always stuck out was the time we lost power on a rainy 4th of July weekend. The theater was packed, 3,000 strong, and you could barely push your way through the lobby. A thunderstorm brought every seaside visitor from the beaches to the cool confines of our theater. Interesting fact about film projectors, all you need is the power to flicker, and they will shut down to stop the film from burning. So as the storm grew overhead, we all knew it might get dicey. A quick flash, crack, and then silence as the theater lobby went dark, and the emer gency lights kicked on. Then the silence turned to murmurs and footsteps as the wave of angry and confused customers swarmed out from their theaters and sur rounded the box office. Much of the next hour or two were a blur, but we got to close early that night, and we all hung out into the wee hours laughing and retelling the story to one another as we fixed all the film piled on the projection room floor.

the heyday of its time. I started out selling popcorn and cleaning theaters, then moved into the projection booth, until finally be coming a manager. It wasn’t an easy job, but it was a lot of fun. Chaotic, exhausting fun. Seacourt was one of the rare theaters at the time to pop its own popcorn. Employees would pop nonstop as thousands flocked in from the beaches on a rainy summer day or holiday weekend to see the hottest movies. For most of the 90s it was THE place to

Halloween, and 4th of July together. Eating left over Thanksgiving meals from home while ushering thousands into the theater was commonplace. I personally know of over a dozen couples who are still together and happily married with children from meeting at Seacourt, including myself.
I remember a regional manager once visited during an employee meeting. He wanted to know how our turnover rate was so low compared to the other theaters. We all looked at one another in shock. A longtime employee named Ben (who proudly made sure to let anyone who would listen know that HE ripped the first ticket at Seacourt) stood and said, “Well... this is my 2nd family, so when it gets tough, we are here for one another.”
I was sad when I heard Seacourt was finally closing. It was my first job, and it was my favorite job. It was sad to know I won’t be able to visit again, and smell the popcorn filled halls, or look up into the mirrored ceiling and see the reflections of my coworkers. Seacourt brought an entire community together and made a lot of peoples’ lives better. It is the end of an era, but the memories will last a lifetime.

What’s interesting is that she saw this same whale within 24 hours from the whale watching vessel. That time, it was 37 miles away, close to
Sandy Hook. That’s how far it traveled in one day. She knew it was the same whale because of its markings. Tail flukes – the underside of the tail – are unique. Her coworker, Danielle Brown, is the lead humpback researcher with Gotham Whale, a nonprofit that has been cataloguing almost 270 humpbacks. They are able to compare these markings to keep track of these fascinating animals. This particular whale has the designation NYC0209.
This particular whale was feeding on a school of bunker. It was lunge feeding, which can be pretty scary if you’re close to it. They come up from below with their mouths open, gulping up tons of fish at a time.

“If the camera went up one row, that’s where we’d be, right between home and third base,” he said.
Most of the whales they see around here are juve nile, she said (Yes, that’s right – these are the small ones). “They don’t have to compete with larger whales in the more northern feeding grounds.”
Whale sightings are still pretty rare, at least from the beach. So, that begs the question, “What brings them this close?” As it turns out, it’s what brings a lot of people here, too – good food, good schools, and clean beaches.
The whales’ favorite food is Atlantic menhaden, sometimes called bunker. If you see dark patches in the water, flecked with some splashing around at the surface – that’s a school of bunker.
“We had about 40 people from our family there,” Joe said. People came from other states, even.

showing he was a member of the 2nd Ar mored Division.
Joseph Finamore was drafted into the Army in 1944 and was honorably discharged in 1946. As a Private 1st Class, he served in the European Theater of Operations. They were the first American division in Berlin and he saw many other countries during that time. At one point, he was even stationed outside the 1945 Potsdam Conference, where the leaders of the Allied Powers – Truman, Churchill, and Stalin – met to decide how to deal with Germany’s fate after that country’s surrender.
It’s against the law to willingly swim within 100 yards of a whale. When they’re feeding, it’s a good idea to stay even farther away because they could come up to feed from right below you. They’re gentle giants, but they have been known to accidentally hurt or kill swimmers who have come too close.

She noted that this new scenario will also provide technical and financial assistance to local oyster farmers to raise oyster spat-on-shell (oyster larvae that has attached to recycled shell) on their own lease prior to placing it on a resto ration reef managed by the NJDEP or Stockton University.Adamssaid, “the COASTAL Aquaculture Project will directly support ‘farming for resto ration’ and is truly a win-win for local farmers, the economy, and the health of the ecosystem and watershed. The district is poised to spear head this unique initiative and looks forward to working with our partners and aquaculture pro ducers to further restoration and enhancement efforts in our region.”
Dale Parsons Jr., the owner of Parsons Seafood, said that since 1909, “Parsons Seafood has maintained a close connection to the bay. As a local family business, we have witnessed an incredible natural resource become reduced to less than 1% the historical numbers.”
Adams said, “Oysters and oyster reefs provide many ecosystem services such as water filtra tion and aquatic habitat. This grant will allow the district to work collaboratively with our 14 partners including state and local government, academia, non-profit organizations and mem bers of industry to bring a new conservation practice scenario to New Jersey.”

The partners received the funding for the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) project from the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, Natural Resources Con servation Service (USDA-NRCS or NRCS).
“We at the Ocean County Soil Conservation District Board of Supervisors are very proud to be part of the RCPP/NRCS partnership grant award. It demonstrates how our staff continues to make Ocean County a leader in NJ Conserva tion. We will continue in our efforts to support them as best we can,” said Dr. William J. Pol lock, Chair of the OCSCD Board of Supervisors. Barnegat Oyster Collective Co-Founder Matt Gregg said, “Barnegat Oyster Collective is eager and excited to take part in this pivotal project. Oysters are a keystone species, not just import ant for the environment, but the economy too. This project will improve habitat but also help oyster farms achieve economic viability.”
She added, “shellfish aquaculture is a unique form of agriculture that does not require any inputs (such as feed or fertilizer) to grow a high protein and nutrient-dense food source. Simply by growing filter-feeding bivalves (oysters, clams, scallops, etc.) in the bay, the farmers are helping to improve water quality. Adult oysters can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day, which improves water quality thus benefiting the entire estuarine ecosystem, and the local economy which relies heavily on tourism.”

“The Jetty Rock Foundation is excited to be partnering on this great project. This grant is directly in line with JRF’s mission to protect our oceans and waterways through restorative aquaculture practices and the usage of oysters to create clean water and habitat,” Jetty Rock Foundation Environmental Director Kyle Gronostajski said.
Stockton University Assistant Professor of Marine Science Dr. Christine Thompson said, “we are excited for this collaborative project which will be the next phase for our restoration projects in Barnegat Bay. It will be a great opportunity to work with and learn from local growers as they contribute to restoration prac tices in the area.”

Booker also called upon President Biden to issue an Executive Order to require use of the Food Service Guidelines for Federal Facilities (FSG) for food and beverages sold and served at federally owned and operated facilities, which would ensure that healthy food is available on federal property. “Millions of people rely on federal food service operations, including federal employees, veterans in Veterans Affairs hospitals, members of the armed services, and people who are incarcerat ed in federal prisons,” Booker explained.

I recognize that Rt. 9 is a traffic nightmare, and the State bears some re sponsibility for that since it has mandated how our Town Center could develop, making Rt. 9 and Lacey Rd. the hub. Development is focused on these two roads, and we have no choice in those matters. It is not our burden to bail out the State by alternative road building for a situation of its own making. Other towns along Rt. 9 are probably facing the same congestion, yet the State refuses to take corrective action.

How Colds, The Flu & Covid-19 Affects Hearing
which can cause permanent hearing loss. Similar to the flu, COVID-19 has shown an alarming ability to attack the hearing and vestibular systems, although the exact reason is still under investi gation. Patients with long-haul COVID are at increased risk. Luckily, serious hearing damage from viral infections is rare, though the temporary effects are uncomfortable — stuffiness, dizziness, tinnitus, and ear infections could put a damper on your future holiday plans.

Sound News
Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
It’s been well over 2 years, and the Covid 19 variants are still wreaking havoc in our area. For the most part, the new variants just present with “coldlike” symptoms but the rate of infection spread is typically higher than the common cold. Unfortunately, once you start to exhibit symptoms such as a sore throat, headache, sinus pressure, post nasal drip, etc., you already have Covid 19 and more than likely you have spread the germs to others. Many individuals are taking in home rapid tests and are commonly “negative” for a few days before the result is positive.
In my opinion, this is reason enough to frequently wash your hands, don a mask (when in large in group events), and get vaccinated. Unless you physician recom mends otherwise, vaccinated individ uals typically experience a significant reduction of Covid 19 symptoms and the recovery time is generally less.

DISTRIBUTED BY DEAR PHARMACIST, INC. 4 Natural Alternatives To Drugs To Relieve Joint Pain Fast
Today you’ve learned about 4 supplements that support joint health. One of them is free - the vitamin D! If you’d like additional help with your pain, I have a longer article available at my website, as well as addition al resources. Please visit suzycohen.com.
4 Natural Alternatives to Drugs to Relieve Joint Pain Fast
Joints are meant to last a lifetime, and for some people they do! But for others, joints wear out and start to ache. Old injuries can give rise to pain later on in life. Over 50 million people have arthritis today, and conventional medicine’s answer is a pill. It’s usually an NSAID like ibuprofen. This can work temporarily. It’s not right for everyone though, especially those with ulcers, or heart disease.
2. MSM - Methylsulfonylmethane pro vides the body with natural, healing sul fur. This is one component necessary for healthy joints. MSM is sold in health food stores because it is an extremely common ingredient that supports joint health, and it cleans the body up. Sometimes people get scared to take MSM because they don’t
The latest studies on osteoarthritis suggest that people who are above their healthy BMI make their pain much worse due to additional pressure on the joints. Also, a diet high in soda, carbs, and sugary foods will exacerbate pain. But there are things you can do. Let’s go through some easy things right now.
understand that it is NOT a sulfa pill. Sulfur is the third most common and abundant element in your beautiful human body! It is found in great amounts in your nails, your hair, and your skin. Your body requires sulfur to make collagen.
3. Hyaluronic acid - Arthritic joints are deficient in natural hyaluronic acid, so over time, it leads to the cartilage becoming less squishy and pliable. The stiffer a joint is, the more likely there is pain and inflammation. Hyaluronic acid holds moisture like a sponge, it’s a plumper as in Restylane®and Juvederm® which are two popular facial fillers. Hyaluronic acid may be injected into your joint, for example, your knee. It will not cure anything serious, like if you need a knee replacement… but for simpler problems, an injection of this can bring relief for 2 or 3 months. It can be taken orally as well.
4. Vitamin D - Naturally synthesized in the human body after exposure to sunlight. It is a fact that people who have low levels of vitamin D often have joint pain, and/ or osteoporosis. Vitamin D supplements would be an effective adjunctive supple ment that you can take if you have chronic joint pain and it is particularly helpful for BOTH autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis, as well as osteoarthritis.
1. Curcumin - Books have been written on the topic of curcumin and pain relief! It’s a strong anti-inflammatory component of turmeric spice extract. Most people think it is just “curcumin” that works, but recent re search proves three different curcuminoids work even better, and you’ll find those in high-quality supplements.

In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specif ically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act.

may be entitled to total disability benefits.
The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates is a full-service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Med icaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney.

Primarily, should your injury require med ical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for rea sonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau. In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered.
The questions often arises, “What happens if I am injured during the course of my duties as a volunteer for a municipality?” It has been determined that volunteer firefighters, first aid or rescue squad workers, ambulance drivers, forest fire wardens or firefighters, board of education members and auxiliary or special reserve police officers are provided for within the Workers’ Compensation Act in New Although,Jersey.as a volunteer as listed above one would not have been compensated for the acts performed within the scope of that position, if injured while performing those duties, and medically unable to work, you would be entitled to compensation at the maximum rate for the year of that injury. Furthermore, the injured volunteer is entitled to reasonable and necessary medical treat ment as if an employee. In the event that the volunteer suffers permanent residuals from the injury in question, the volunteer would also have the right to seek payment for those residuals, the same as if a paid employee.
In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven (7) days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insur ance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to seventy percent (70%) of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sus tained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner.
By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea of R.C. Shea & Associates
Should permanent effects of your injury remain after achieving a medical plateau, you may be entitled to benefits to compensate for those permanent effects. This is based on a statutory value determined according to the part of your body which was injured and the permanent residuals of your treatment and injury. This process progresses after your physician has returned you to gainful em ployment. In the event that you are deemed medically unable to return to work, you

Speaking of health, peer leaders learned proper stretching and breath ing techniques, opened each session with a series of exercises, and played fun, competitive games. And in what was arguably the most enjoyable facet of this year’s camp, students met and learned about therapy dogs from reps at Caregiver Volunteers of New Jersey, who taught about the dogs’ training and their role in sustaining the emotional health of those in need.

Recently my dog Andi and I took our usual walk around 9 p.m. I noticed a single bat flying overhead. Spotting the bat was particularly easy since there was cloud cover in the evening sky. We stopped, observed a second and then a third bat. I have seen bats before but it’s always a thrill, especially knowing how beneficial they are for the envi ronment. So why not look up at the sky some evening and see how many bats you can spot.

JERSEY SHORE - Bats make up approximately 20% of all mammal species around the globe with over 1200 species. There are three types of bats – insect-eating, fruit-eating, and yes, blood-sucking (known as vampire bats). But fear not, the latter lives in Central and South America. Here in New Jersey, there are 6 year-round species of bats. The ones humans are most likely to encounter are big brown bats and little brown bats. These bats consume half their body weight each night. Since bats are nocturnal, the benefit of controlling insects is not wit nessed by most people. Without them, insects would exist beyond our control. The survival of the rain forests rely heavily on bats in contributing to the regrowth of the forests. The more bats in a community the fewer pesticides have to be used. More than 250 plants that produce foods rely on pollinating bats, a money-saving tool for farmers.
hibernation. Birth takes place 6 to 8 weeks later. On average female cave bats birth only one pup a year. This low reproduction rate potentially puts them at risk of endangerment. Babies will learn to fly in three weeks and can live to 30 years old.
