Event coordinator Paul Brown was thrilled that Lieber visited and held an exclusive panel. Lieber is a legendary Atlas/ Marvel writer and co-creator of Iron Man, Thor, Ant-Man, and Groot. “Chirps” marked his fi rst-ever book outside the comics world after 75 years in the field. Superman himself was in attendance, in the form of actor Dean Cain who portrayed the man of steel in the 1990s ABC TV series “Lois & Clark.”
This wasn’t Cain’s fi rst visit to Jackson. He was the top guest at Garden State Comic Con several years ago that was held at Six Flags Great Adventure and he told The Jackson Times, “I went to college (in New Jersey) so even when I flew into Newark Airport that moment reminded me of the very fi rst time. I flew in from California thinking will I be going to college here so it gives me at home vibes.”
When asked what he was up to the actor replied, “making tons of movies. I have a movie coming out June 6 called “Little Angels” that I produced, directed and starred in and I’m shooting three other movies between now and the end of September. I’m writing, producing, directing, acting and am doing a lot of everything. I could not be more busy so I happy as a clam.”
Cosplayers were in abundance at the event and one of them was Browns Mills resident Rick Fisher who sported a steampunk style costume. “My wife is here with me and she keeps me in tow. I don’t go to all shows in costume. This is the fi rst one in this costume.”
“We did a small show in a town in Pennsylvania and he wore a costume for that,” his wife said.
“I’m just browsing for comic books today,” Fisher added.
Even other cosplayers got excited to see the costumed Number 2 Pencil Man and wanted their photo with him. “I have my own comic book table and decided to step outside for some air,” Tanner Geesey of Harrisburg Pa. said.
Geesey said his character’s creation came from an embarrassing real-life event. “I sat on a pencil and that turned into a superhero origin story and two years after that I have a comic book.”
Other costumed characters included the 1966 TV series version of Batman, the fi lm noir version of Spider-man, Wolverine, Jedi Knights from Star Wars, Power Rangers, Ghostbusters and many others who posed for photos with attendees and fellow cosplayers.
There were many independent comic book creators that were promoting their publications such as artist Rob Flanagan and writer Michael Sammartino of Middlesex County who created Techni-Gods.
“It originally started as a video game as it was a great idea for a game concept but we’re not coders so we couldn’t make the game,” Sammartino said.
Flanagan added, “we talked to people in the industry and they figured we should move it to a different medium to promote the story so we came up with a comic book and we came up with the idea of telling the story of side characters and villains.”
He explained that the concept surrounds the idea of monsters and a secret society who know what to do when said monsters awaken. “This is about supernatural, horror and action but within our illuminati they have not fought these ‘Techni-Gods’ in so many centuries they are the status quo, the leaders of the world secretly when one awakens, they get their ass kicked.”
“We have a six-book arc with four books currently out. I am inking and water coloring the latest one now and after this when I get home I’ll be working on it,” the artist said.
He added, “we want to do a long single graphic novel after this one is done.” For more information on Techni-Gods visit technigods.com/comic.
The husband-and-wife team of Brion and Meg Koenig of the Midnight Monster Society had interesting things to sell if you were a horror fan. They were selling T-shirts, hats and footwear with various Universal Studios and more modern age monsters on them.
“We have stickers, hoodies, shoes and leggings, bathing suits and my husband is the designer,” Meg Koenig remarked. “I’ve been doing this for a couple of years now. I used to do mainly stickers. We rebranded to Midnight Monster Society in 2002,” Brion Koenig said.
Being horror fans Brion Koenig said his favorite fright films were “The Thing,” “Ghostbusters” and “Jurassic Park.” “I like a lot of video games as well that involve horror.” Cassidy Farley, her dad Chad Farley and Brian Van Noshrand of the Collectors Confessions podcast were part of the fun of the show.
“Collectors Confessions features comic book collectors and those with all kinds of collections,” Chad Farley said. Van Noshrand said “we started as an audio podcast where we did horror fi lms and we found ourselves talking more and more about comic books so we decided maybe talking about comic books is the way to go. Since comic books is a visual medium we went to YouTube to feature our podcast and we’ve been around for two years now and we’re approaching 4,000 subscribers.”
Brown who also does a podcast, noted the concept behind the show came from wanting to “build a true comic centric convention the likes of those we look up to such as Baltimore Comic-Con and Heroes Con in Charlotte.”

Gardella noted that the resolution to decline the spending limit, “said they were going to help us with our expenses that are out of control and are state mandates then maybe we could say okay, we’ll meet you somewhere on that but it’s not written that way.”
“It’s basically to say we’ll bring you up to adequacy. Guess what, we could raise our taxes up to that and we have expenses that aren’t going to maintain us. I think that’s the missing piece here and for some reason there is a lot of legislators around and there is only one or two who are paying attention to that fact,” she added.
“All our tax dollars are paying for their salaries including everybody who is auditing all our financials for the past two years. We’re all paying for that service,” Gardella said. “Here we are talking about the same thing. We can raise our taxes. I just want someone to pay attention to us. I didn’t know you could only go as high as your adequacy number. I would have
said 300% because this idea of raising taxes is nonsense.”
She supported the Board’s refusal to raise the tax levy through a resolution declining the state program.
Board member Michael Walsh agreed. “Adequacy. I’ve seen the numbers and they make no sense,” he remarked. “They use the evaluation of the average salary but they use years 2022-23 and 24. They also multiply it in there by the value of your homes but they use 2020-21 and 22.”
“There’s no match. I don’t know where the state is coming up with this adequacy? I think somebody should look at how they formulated this,” he added.
Board member Erica Osmond said that when she heard about this potential tax increase “I thought it was bananas and I lost my mind.” She said she was glad the board agreed to decline this. “In my opinion we couldn’t accept the proposed tax levy/incentive program.”
Osmond added, “we must reject any tax increase that is higher than the tentative budget that the community already expects from us. Our jobs as Board members having been voted in by our
community is to protect Jackson citizens and defend our rights to make local decisions without state interference.”
She noted the idea of another increase following last year’s 9.9% increase “that the state called a one-time deal is unacceptable and yes I get that this is a new round of taxes but this breaks the public’s trust and it goes against responsible local control.”
“The (2% cap) was created to stop school board members, regular people like ourselves from putting too much of a tax burden on the community. It’s a safety measure against financial irresponsibility,” Osmond explained. “It gives the taxpayers some sense of stability. Our current problem is that the state simply doesn’t share the money fairly that we do contribute.” She called the incentive program a temporary fix and a false promise that should be rejected.
Board member Allison Barocas said that in 2010 a 2% tax cap was signed into law and in 2018 the S2 state aid funding formula was signed into law, “that would cut your school funding and then add into that the variable of increasing non-public

It’s not what you look like, what degree you have, or where you come from. It’s about heart. If you’ve got the

Board President Tina Kas said she remembered the governor and commissioner of education “boasting that all school districts were fully funded. I don’t know how we are here now because Lacey, Toms River, Asbury Park, Middletown, us… if everyone was fully funded why would they need to raise their taxes to bring themselves to adequacy?
“We have a rising non-public population, we have a rising ML (multi-language) population, we have a rising special needs population. Those populations cause substantial state mandated budget expenses. When your non-public expenses supersede your public funding, you’re never going to make it to adequacy. You’re going to keep falling behind.” Kas said, “we could raise your taxes, hurt your pocket book but you’d be back here. It doesn’t matter because all those expenses are going to keep increasing and we’re going to be in the same place, we’re never going to get ahead.”

Tired of living with painful bunions? The team at Affilliated Foot & Ankle wants you to know about LAPIPLASTY, a revolutionary solution to your problem.
Lapiplasty addresses the root cause: the unstable joint that leads to the deformity.
● 3D Correction: Lapiplasty technology is designed to correct the entire bone, restoring it to its normal alignment. This comprehensive approach ensures a long-lasting result.
● Joint Stabilization: By securing the unstable joint, Lapiplasty addresses the underlying cause of bunions, reducing the risk of recurrence.
● High Success Rates: Studies have shown that Lapiplasty maintains 3D correction in 97-99% of patients at 13 and 17 months follow-up.
● Minimal Recurrence: The procedure’s focus on addressing the root cause helps to prevent the return of bunions.
● Faster Recovery: Many patients are able to return to walking in a boot within 2 weeks of the procedure.
Town Hall:
Continued From Page 1 check, or money order for one year,” the ordinance states.
There is one further rub however, residents would pick up an additional service charge for using their credit cards through this system. This is the reason Councilman Nino Borrelli switched his vote to nay on this ordinance stating, “cash should be available to
use across the board for any township program or service that we provide in Jackson Township.” He felt that passing along this additional fee onto residents was not fair.
Councilman Giuseppe Palmeri wasn’t happy about the added fee either. He said he wanted to see if “we can absorb that 3.5% charge. I do not feel that is something that should be passed on to the resident. I will not change my vote but I want to see how we can make it an additional fee and if the town has
to eat that, I would definitely be for that.”
Councilman Scott Sargent agreed with Palmeri. “I disagree with the approach but I have to vote yes.”
Council Vice President Mordechai Burnstein also voted yes but asked for the council to look into the option “of the township swallowing up the fee.”
Council President Jennifer Kuhn followed suit in regards to the fee. “I’ve been in the clerk’s office and I’ve seen people ask for
credit card payments and the minimized fee for the convenience of the three and half (percent) fee then to have a check or cash. I will vote yes and I will look into the fee and collectively see what we can do.”
The fee comes from the fi nance department and it would be up to each department head as to whether they charge the fee or not according to Kuhn. “The fee came when everything went explosive and the fee was added and it never went away.” She noted a resident’s question about why a fee was charged to use a debit card to pay for something to the township.
“I don’t understand. I don’t even know why it is allowed but anywhere you go if you use your card, you are paying a fee. I don’t feel the residents should have to pay for it so we will look into it,” she added.
During that meeting Councilman Giuseppe Palmeri recognized Brooklyn Square Pizza as the business spotlight of the month.

Police Department Welcomes New O cers
JACKSON – The Jackson Police Department would like to take this opportunity to thank Mayor Michael Reina and his administration for their continued support of this agency and for the following introductions and newly appointed full time police officers which occurred on April 22 at the township council meeting. Jackson Police Department Public Safety Director Joseph Candido, along with Capt. Mary Nelson introduced our two newest additions to our agency to the residents of Jackson.
Police Officer Mason Kinlan #355 was born and raised in Jackson Township. He attended the Jackson Township Schools, graduating from the Jackson Memorial High School in June of 2023.
In August 2023, Mason was hired by the Seaside Park Police Department. He attended the Ocean County Police Academy Class 53, graduating in May of 2024. Upon graduation, Mason worked as a Class 2 Police Officer for the Borough of Seaside Park during the summer of 2024. His duties included basic patrol work, traffic enforcement and answering calls for service within the borough.
At the end of November 2024, Officer Kinlan was hired by Jackson Township as a Special Class II Police Officer where he has been performing admirably. His duties also include basic patrol work, traffic enforcement and answering calls for service within the township.
He is excited to further his career with the Jackson Township Police Department, following in the footsteps of his father, James Kinlan who recently retired as a Sergeant First Class with the Ocean Township Police Department in Waretown as well as his mother, Captain Mary Nelson who is this agency’s fi rst ever female police captain.
Police Officer Jonathan Pauciullo #356 was born in Point Pleasant, NJ and is a 2007 Graduate of Toms River North High School.
While attending Toms River North High
Photo courtesy Jackson Police School, he was a member of the varsity baseball team. Upon graduation, Officer Pauciullo went onto further his education, attending Ocean County College and received an associate’s degree. He is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in public administration from Fairleigh Dickinson University.
Officer Pauciullo is a graduate of the Ocean County Police Academy 35th Basic Course for Special Law Enforcement Officers. From there, he began his law enforcement career as a Class II Special Police Officer with the Point Pleasant Beach Police Department. During his tenure with Point Pleasant Beach PD, he was assigned to both the bicycle and road units. In 2016, Officer Pauciullo went on to be appointed as a full-time police officer with the Pennington Borough Police Department where he served for five years. In 2021, Officer Pauciullo transferred to the Hopewell Township Police Department and was assigned to the patrol unit.
Officer Pauciullo brings with him many certifications which will be a benefit to our agency such as being a certified instructor in Defensive Tactics, Baton as well as OC.
Officer Pauciullo previously served with the Mercer County Motor Vehicle Task Force which was comprised of officers from the New Jersey State Police, Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office and the Trenton Police Department. This task force was aimed at combating motor vehicle thefts across the state of New Jersey.
Officer Pauciullo is a student of Brazillian Ju Jitsu and currently holds a brown belt after training for nine years of training and experience. He is currently an instructor at Nick Catone’s MMA in Brick, NJ.
Outside of his professional responsibilities, he is a proud husband and father to his three daughters.
We congratulate all the newly appointed officers and wish them the best in their new assignments. With these new hires that brings our total amount of sworn police officers to 110.
Abuse Case:
Continued From Page 1
Havemann-Niedrach was arraigned before O’Malley on April 7. At the most recent court appearance, Monmouth County Assistant Prosecutor Danielle Zanzuccki, director of the Special Victims Bureau, presented the terms of a proposed plea agreement. Under the deal, Havemann-Niedrach would plead guilty to aggravated sexual assault and serve 12 years in a New Jersey state prison.
The sentence would fall under the No Early Release Act (NERA), which requires individuals convicted of certain violent crimes to serve at least 85 percent of their sentence before becoming eligible
for parole.
In addition to the prison term, the plea deal would also require Havemann-Niedrach to register under Megan’s Law and prohibit any contact with the victim.
Havemann-Niedrach, 44, of Jackson, was indicted in March by a Monmouth County Grand Jury on seven counts, including fi rst-degree aggravated sexual assault, fi rst-degree endangering the welfare of a child through the manufacture of child sexual abuse materials, two counts of second-degree endangering, second-degree official misconduct, second-degree sexual assault, and third-degree endangering.
Investigators from the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Bureau and the Freehold Borough
Police Department determined that Havemann-Niedrach’s alleged abuse of a 15-year-old eighth-grade student began in early 2024. Authorities arrested her without incident in June 2024.
According to the Grand Jury Indictment, the fi rst-degree aggravated sexual assault and second-degree sexual assault charges involve alleged sexual penetration with a child between the ages of 13 and 16 between January 2024 and June 2024. Havemann-Niedrach is also accused of endangering the welfare of a child by engaging in sexual conduct that would impair or debauch the morals of a child during the same period, while holding a legal duty or having assumed responsibility for the child’s care. One of the child endangerment charges allegedly began in October 2023 and continued through June 2024.
The victim’s mother reported seeing the victim in Havemann-Niedrach’s car late at night.
Following her arrest on June 27, 2024, bodycam footage reviewed by this newspaper showed Havemann-Niedrach being taken into custody at her parents’ residence in Jackson. During the arrest, she expressed discomfort speaking without her attorney and mentioned losing her phone earlier that day. She also informed her husband about writing her attorney’s and pastor’s names on a note and notified offi cers of her medical conditions and prepared medications.
At a detention hearing on July 5, 2024, Assistant Prosecutor Zanzuccki stated that another teacher witnessed Havemann-Niedrach touching the victim inappropriately and flirting with him.
A search of the victim’s phone revealed over 25,000 text messages, including explicit content, between him and Havemann-Niedrach. The victim later admitted to a sexual relationship with her that began in January 2024, detailing various sexual acts at her home. The victim reportedly experienced a mental health crisis during the investigation and was hospitalized, requesting police to keep his phone. Zanzuccki also noted the victim’s allegation that Havemann-Niedrach took him to a hotel, which was reportedly corroborated by cell phone location data. Heather Kotler, whose son was friends with the alleged victim, shared concerns she raised with school officials months prior to the teacher’s arrest. Kotler stated that in February 2024, her son informed her that his friend was reportedly dating a teacher’s daughter and that there were rumors of inappropriate texting and picture exchanges involving the teacher. After informing a school administrator, who promised an investigation, Kotler said she received no further updates. She expressed shock that Havemann-Niedrach remained in the classroom until her removal in June, despite the alleged misconduct being reported in February and being widely discussed among eighth-grade students. The next hearing in this case is scheduled for June 2. Havemann-Niedrach is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Small Fiber Neuropathy: 4 Natural Sodium Channel Blockers You Should Know About
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
If you’re dealing with strange nerve symptoms like burning, tingling, or electric shock sensations, Small Fiber Neuropathy (SFN) might be the culprit. This condition affects the tiny unmyelinated nerves responsible for pain, temperature, and autonomic functions. One overlooked cause? Mutations or dysfunction in sodium channels like SCN9A, SCN10A, and SCN11A. When these channels go haywire, nerves fire uncontrollably like a smoke alarm that won’t stop.
Certain medications calm nerve hyperexcitability by blocking sodium channels, but did you know there are natural compounds that do too? While clinical trials are still lacking, I’ve researched promising options, and compiled them into a handy downloadable guide which I’ll tell you about momentarily.
Let’s look at 4 natural sodium channel blockers first. Consult your doctor about how these would affect your current medication protocol, even though they are available without a prescription:
Alpha Lipoic Acid - How it helps: This supplement reduces oxidative stress and stabilizes nerve membranes, indirectly calming sodium channels. The approximate dosage is 600 mg once or twice daily. Caution: This lowers blood sugar and helps with some complications of diabetes, so monitor closely and doublecheck with doc if you use insulin or diabetic meds. 2. Cannabidiol (CBD) - How it helps: Modulates ion channels like “Nav1.7” which plays a role in pain and inflammation. Start low (10–25 mg) and adjust as needed. Caution: May interact with medications (especially CYP450 substrates such as warfarin, atorvastatin, or clopidogrel), potentially altering their effec-
tiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.
3. Capsaicin (Chili Pepper Extract) - How it helps: Temporarily overstimulates pain nerves, then desensitizes them. May influence sodium and TRPV1 channels. Apply it topically with a cream sold online or at pharmacies. There are prescription-strength patches available with a doctor’s order. Caution: Expect initial burning, do not apply to open/broken skin. Always remember to wash your hands well and avoid your eyes and mouth.
4. Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA/DHA) - How it helps: Strengthens nerve membranes and reduces inflammation and sodium influx. Dose: 1,000 to 3,000 mg daily (combined EPA/DHA). Caution: May thin blood which is considered helpful, however consult your doctor if you take anticoagulants.
Sodium channels are like electrical gates in your nerves. In SFN, these gates can malfunction, staying open too long or firing too often leading to pain, tingling, or weird autonomic symptoms like heart palpitations or digestive issues. Blocking or modulating them helps calm the storm.
If you have hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s, these conditions will worsen sensations of SFN. I have dozens of articles about these conditions at my website. Also, SFN is a known complication of diabetes, even if you have well-managed glucose.
You can download my free guide. I’ll email it to you next Tuesday after you sign up for my free newsletter at my website. You deserve answers and relief. Let’s quiet those misfiring nerves, naturally. If you’re interested in a deeper dive into this topic, I’ve written a longer, more comprehensive blog on my website at suzycohen.com.

People put their elderly parent or grandparent in a nursing home so that they can be safely taken care of, so that someone can properly look after them in their old age. No one expects that these nursing home residents should get anything less than the proper care and respect that they deserve, but with the horrifying rise in nursing care abuse, this is not always the case.
According to the National Center on Elder Abuse in the United States, more than 30 percent of all nursing homes in America indulge in some form of resident abuse.
Statistics show that nearly 50 percent of all nursing homes are short staffed. The staff people who do work in these facilities are underpaid, overworked, and all too often overburdened, which in turn leads to elder neglect and abuse.
Even more alarming is the prediction that the problem will only worsen in the near future. More than 91% of nursing homes lack adequate staff to properly care for patients. A Health and Human Services Department report found patients in understaffed nursing homes were more likely to suffer from a variety of problems, such as bed sores, malnutrition, weight loss, dehydration, pneumonia, and serious blood born infections. It’s a serious concern that will only increase with time, given that the population of people aged 85 or older is expected to
double to 8.9 million by the year 2030. Signs of abuse and neglect may be (but are not limited to) evidence such as patterns of bruising, unexplained injuries, frequent infections, bedsores, questionable hygiene, appearance of malnutrition, emotional distress, and unsanitary living conditions. Document any such evidence you observe, and bring it to the attention of your attorney. Neglect can be just as harmful in the long run as abuse, leading to additional health problems and possibly death. Nursing home abuse isn’t limited to physical abuse; there can also be emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse, where an elder is demeaned or humiliated in other ways.
Many elders needlessly suffer from nursing home abuse in which they are manipulated, humiliated, or physically harmed by the very people entrusted with providing them with loving and tender care. Instances of physical, sexual and verbal abuse have taken place at the very nursing homes where elders are actually supposed to be well taken care of; unfortunately, cases of nursing home abuse in America and also in New Jersey are rising rather than falling.
If you think a loved one is the victim of Nursing Home Abuse call the trial attorney’s at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free consultation to discuss their rights. (732) 505-1212.

CenExel Toms River NJ Sheds Light On Gender Disparities In Alzheimer’s Disease
TOMS RIVER – CenExel Toms River NJ, a leader in advancing clinical research, is committed to addressing the significant gender disparities in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). New fi ndings highlight that women are more likely to develop AD compared to men, underscoring the urgent need for targeted research and treatment. Alzheimer’s disease affects nearly 7 million Americans aged 65 and older, with women comprising almost two-thirds of this population. Women in their 60s are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s over the course of their lives as they are to develop breast cancer.
The reasons behind gender disparity are multifaceted, encompassing biological, genetic, and social factors. While women’s longer life expectancy has traditionally been citing as a key factor, emerging research suggests that other variables, such as hormonal changes and difference in brain architecture, may also contribute.
In addition to being disproportionately affected by Alzheimer’s, women are also more likely to serve as caregivers for those living with AD. More than 60% of Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers are women, with over one-third being daugh-
ters. Women caregivers often take on more demanding tasks and care for individuals with greater cognitive and behavioral challenges.
“Women are at the forefront of the Alzheimer’s crisis.” Said Anna Brocco, PharmD, MBA, site Chief Operating Officer. “At CenExel Toms River, we acknowledge this reality and offer comprehensive support to women battling this disease, whether as patients or caregivers. We provide access to advanced research opportunities and a dedicated caregiver support group for those seeking a compassionate ear.”
CenExel Toms River invites the community to join its efforts in raising awareness and supporting Alzheimer’s research. For more information about their ongoing trials and how to get involved, please visit CenExel. com/AMRI or call 732-908-1510.
