Settle Bullying Case Founded in 1924, Zales has expanded from a small family shop In an unprecedented action, the Millburn School District, Millburn, to the largest fine jeweler in retail shopping malls across North N.J., agreed to pay Omari George, a 2014 graduate of Millburn High America, with over 750 stores in the and Puerto Rico.

The settlement was reached on the first day of the trial, heard in the “Zales is an established and popular brand that is joining a New Jersey federal court as the George Complaint claimed his civil number of other top-notch stores we’ve recently added, including rights were violated and that Millburn failed to comply with the New PINK, Kay Jewelers, Pandora and L’Occitane, along with a newly Jersey law on bullying. renovated Starbucks and Stewarts Restaurant coming soon.” The law requires that when school officials are made aware that a on a career in education and has created his own school for marshal student is being bullied, they must conduct an investigation and arts. “I want to teach my students the skills necessary to protect take effective action to address the harmful behavior. themselves if they become a victim,” Omari noted. “During my freshman and sophomore years at Millburn I was Levin commented, “Hopefully the real benefits of this case will be tormented by other students both physically and emotionally.

Millburn High School is frequently recognized as one of the finest schools in New Jersey. George’s lawyer, Harry Levin of the law firm of LevinCyphers, Toms River, said, “Millburn’s handling of the complaints of bullying was abysmal. They failed to recognize that bullying was a huge problem in their student population. Omari and other minority students routinely faced racist statements and physical intimidation.” Prior to the George lawsuit, Millburn contracted for a Diversity Study to be performed. The Study disclosed pervasive evidence of a lack of sensitivity to minorities, including that there was not a single African American or Latino teacher at the school. Levin said, “Our children need to be safe while they are in school and free from harassing behavior, especially when it’s based on race, gender or sexual preference. Teaching children the importance of tolerance and acceptance is as important as the three R’s.” Omari George, the son of Reverend Daryl and Brenda Barnes-George, a reading teacher, is now a sophomore at Morehouse College in Atlanta.

Farmingdale, NJ – United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties is now holding its annual “Stuff the Bus” school supply drive at eight locations throughout Monmouth and Ocean County to meet the growing demand for school supplies needed by children throughout the community. The drive is designed to help ensure that all children begin the school year with the tools they will need to succeed. “Providing these educational supplies helps support a child’s ability to learn while removing some of the financial burden from both parents and teachers,” says Timothy C. Hearne, President & CEO of United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. “Donations from the Stuff the Bus drive allow children to focus on their assignments instead of worrying about whether they have the tools to complete them.”

Stuff the Bus events will be held at eight local stores, all from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., where shoppers are invited to donate new school supplies to the drive: Saturday, July 30 – Walmart in Lanoka Harbor Friday, August 5 – Walmart in Neptune Saturday, August 6 – Walmart in Freehold and Walmart in Manahawkin Friday, August 12 – Boscov’s at the Monmouth Mall in Eatontown Saturday, August 13 – Walmart in Howell and Walmart in Brick Sunday, August 14 – Wegmans in Ocean Township

School supplies can also be donated to the drive online through a convenient website called Roonga. Any items purchased through Roonga will be shipped directly to United Way, and most of the needed items can be found on the site. The online drive can be accessed here through August 1 at https://www.roonga.com/ uwmocstb/.

In addition to providing an opportunity to donate school supplies, United Way offers volunteers a way to give their time to the drive. Volunteers ages 12 and up are needed at the community events, and also to help count and sort donations through the month of August. Interested volunteers can register by contacting Jackie Liguori at 848-206-2037 or [email protected].

Stuff the Bus will be one of the first joint initiatives for United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, which was recently formed through a merger of United Way of Monmouth County and United Way of Ocean County. For more information about United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties or the Stuff the Bus drive, please contact Kaarina Romero at 848-206-2042 or visit uwmoc.org. # # #

Reserved seating is available on our balconies or bring a lawn chair and enjoy the performance from the ground.

Beginning at dusk, the evening will be illuminated with dramatic lighting by torches, candles, and spotlights. The Old Barracks Band of Musick will perform a production of The Battle of Trenton, a military sonata dedicated to George Washington, composed by James Hewitt (1770-1827) coupled with dramatic vignettes by Richard Bales circa 1950. John Burkhalter from the Practitioners of Musick will perform on the small flute, and dance master Sue Dupre will lead dancers through colonial steps to live music.

The Lakewood Historical Society and the Lakewood Heritage Commission are celebrating the opening of the Sheldon Wolpin Lakewood Historical Museum in Pine Park with preliminary ceremonies at the museum at 5:30 p.m. and a Toastamonial honoring Robert Kirschner at the Lakewood Country Club, Country Club Lane, at 7:00 p.m., on Wednesday September 7, 2016. Senator Robert Singer, Assemblyman Sean Kean, Lakewood Mayor Menashe Miller, and officials of the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce are among dignitaries participating in the opening ceremony at Kuser Hall, the newly refurbished 15,000-square-foot building that houses Lakewood antiquities. Kuser Hall, the last remaining building of five that made up the Newman School, an exclusive preparatory boarding school for boys, closed in 1942. The building, which the township acquired in 1964 through Green Acres Funding, was the math and science center of the school. Through the volunteer efforts of members in the Historical Society and the Heritage Commission, Kuser Hall has been transformed into a showcase, featuring Lakewood memorabilia and artifacts. The Township gave both groups a long-term lease in 2012 and it has taken four years to create six galleries on the first floor and a main hallway, depicting scenes of “old” Lakewood. Some of the renovations include power washing and painting the building; installing handicap ramps, interior and exterior lighting, a security system, and restroom facilities; and replacing 550 plus panes of glass. A from 1881 originally commissioned by a group of Lakewood residents was moved from Clifton Avenue to the front of the museum. The museum also boasts a mono-wing airplane in the southeastern outside corner of the building as part of some hands-on exhibits. The Ocean County Society of Model Railroaders has relocated from downtown Lakewood to the lower level of the museum where members are building two exhibits, one for O Gauge and the other of HO Gauge model trains. The Township Committee, Lakewood publics works, and the Inspection Department have been especially supportive. Many present and former Lakewood residents have given financial support as well as goods and services.

For some students, coming back to the classroom in September is as hard as readjusting to the early morning wakeup; it can take weeks to get back into the school mindset. Many families do not have the means to provide enriching opportunities for their children over the summer. The Toms River Regional School District is addressing this “summer learning loss” through a $100,000 New Jersey Department of Education innovateNJ grant targeting Title I schools. According to Superintendent David Healy, the district has been in a curricular and mindset makeover over the past two years to address new state standards in technology, careers, and the core subject areas, and to bring more creative control back to teachers. “From kindergarten to 12th grade, lesson plans are shifting increasingly to hands on, problem- based learning, with real world applications and a wider variety of tools and materials,” says Healy. Last October, the district created the Jersey Shore Makerfest, which drew over 100 presenters and more than 4000 participants from all over the east coast. Starting in January, it partnered with Office Depot to create a $60,000 Innovation Station with high tech displays, furniture, and 3D printers. It went to a full day kindergarten model with multisensory learning centers at its core. And on NJ Makers Day in March, it played host to twelve districts from across the state, both live and virtually, in joint projects involving programming, cardboard constructions, and digital badging. Says Healy, “In challenging financial times, in a district with almost 16,000 students and learning programs in 19 buildings, it can be difficult to implement initiatives across every school simultaneously. Finding grants that match our mission creates opportunities to research and test innovations in individual locations while having little impact on the budget.” In the past year alone, the district has worked with nearly half a million dollars in Most Vehicles $224.99 grants, including awards from the Grunin Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Department of Education. The MakerCamp grant was written by Assistant Superintendent Marc Natanagara with support from district staff. “Our cross-disciplinary teacher team has pushed us to look at learning as an organic whole, rather than divided up into discrete periods of separate Most Vehicles $449.99 subjects. That’s not how we approach problems in real life, and our educators are finding ways to use more holistic strategies in their classrooms.” The program runs for six weeks, Monday through Friday. Each week is thematic, includes a field trip, and focuses on one or more real world problems. The themes are: The Jersey Shore, Robotics, Art and Society, Weather and Climate, Food and Health, and Re-Charge Only - Repairs extra Manufacturing and Design. Supervisor of Educational Technology Tiffany Lucey will be the (Most Vehicles) site director. According to Lucey, “This program promotes career-ready and maker practices, with skills, concepts and projects spilling over from week to week so students have a sense of the interconnectedness of learning.” Says Natanagara, “What is unique about MakerCamp is its nearly complete departure from a traditional classroom model. The program allows time schedules and student groupings to vary as needed. Activities are designed to appeal to diverse interests, abilities, $50 at time of diagnosis applied as credit to repair fee) and age levels. There will be no lectures, slide shows, or desks in rows. Physical activity and mindfulness breaks occur with regular frequency. And each week culminates with students presenting a project that addresses a real world problem that they have worked on and gained knowledge of during the week.” Advisors from the schools and community have had input on the program design and will mentor students on their project prototypes. “Local artists, NAVAIR, Ocean County College, Scouts, the Toms River Chamber of Commerce, and many others have embraced the concepts and pledged support,” according to Natanagara. “Our kids are going to have experiences in and with the community that they may never have had otherwise.” For example, during the “Art and Society” week, students will practice visual, performing and digital arts techniques, tour downtown Toms River art works and galleries, and build individual creative Now also open at pieces to share with the community. 9 Inlet Drive, Superintendent Healy concludes, “Innovation isn’t just about putting technology in Pt. Pleasant Beach, NJ teacher and student hands. It’s about getting them to engage in ways they haven’t before using tools in new and creative ways. It’s about connecting with the larger world.” Live Bait & FRozen Bait, Rod & Reels Surf Fisherman Suipplies, Ice, Soda, Snacks July 7th, 2016 The Ocean County Gazette - www.ocgazette.news 33 org ONGOING ATTRACTIONS Six Flags Great Adventure, Safari & Hurricane AROUND OCEAN COUNTY Harbor Wed. - Sun. - Ocean County Carousel of Jackson Music 2016 DAILY 732-928-2000 https://www.sixflags.com/ Various Places throughout Ocean County greatadventure 732-506-9090 www.oceancountyparks.org Barnegat Lighthouse State Park Barnegat Light The Edith Duff Gardens Fri. - Sun. - Seasonal Planetarium Shows 609-494-2016 www.state.nj.us/dep/ Barnegat Light Robert J.

TOMS RIVER – Joao Domingos came to the United States from three decades ago but his desire to improve speaking English and his knowledge of America brings him to the Ocean County Library on a weekly basis.

Domingos, of Beachwood has been a part of the Ocean County Library’s English Conversation Group for the past five years. He said that the program held at 10 a.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in the Hometown Dairy room at the library’s Toms River Branch, 101 Washington St., is an important part of his life. The program also takes place at the library’s Jackson, Lakewood, Beachwood, Little Egg Harbor and Point Pleasant Beach branches.

“Joao is one of our regulars. He is always here,” Christine Becauccio, of Toms River said. Becauccio coordinates the Wednesday sessions and is one of three volunteers who oversee the hour long program. Graham Bright co-leads the program with Becauccio during the year. The Tuesday session is coordinated during the summer months by former police officer, Natalie Barlista.

Becauccio said that she enjoys helping people improve their English speaking skills and helping them understand the nuances of American culture.

“Even after living here for so long my English is still not as good as I would like it to be. It is important to me to be able to speak it better and this class is one of the things I do to keep busy. I have learned a lot,” Domingos said.

Becauccio, who also works at the Toms River Branch as a monitor, said becoming part of the English Conversation program was a natural extension of her devotion to the library. “I retired four years ago as an executive assistant at Bay Shore Hospital. I always loved the library and wanted to be a part of the wonderful atmosphere here. I have been part of the program for the last four years.”

Chunmei Chen works with Becauccio at the library. Chen attends the English Conversation classes to improve her English conversation skills and her knowledge of America. “I have learned a lot from Christine and the other volunteer instructors who coordinate the group,” Chen said.

Becauccio discussed historic American landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge during her June 29 program.

Alexandra Wong was among four young women who attended the day’s session and who recently traveled to America from the Guangdon and Jiangzi provinces of China.

“We came here as part of a work study program. We arrived on June 4 and stayed a week in New York City and then came to Toms River on June 14,” Wong said. She and her fellow travelers will soon experience working as volunteers at the library.

“We are very excited about this and helping people. We will learn even more by becoming volunteers,” Wong said.

Man Injured in Animal Attack Contact: Captain Todd Malland Manchester Police Department (732) 657 – 2009 extension 4103

Manchester Twp. NJ – On July 27, 2016 at approximately 5 PM, a 53 year old Johnson Avenue man, encountered, and was bitten several times by an aggressive animal believed to be a dog or a coyote in a wooded area near his residence while walking his German Shepard.

The encounter was reported to the Manchester Township Police by the Emergency Department of Ocean Medical Center in Brick approximately four hours after the incident occurred, when the victim was at the facility receiving treatment. The investigation revealed that the victim received several bites, cuts and lacerations to both arms from what he described as “a large brown aggressive dog” which he came upon in the woods. The victim reported that he was surprised by the presence of the animal and was attacked without any provocation. He was treated and released by the Emergency Department staff that night after receiving numerous stitches on both arms. There were no witnesses to the incident and although an extensive neighborhood canvas was conducted by members of the police department, no one reported seeing an animal matching the description in the area. A few residents, however, reported hearing what they believed to be coyote calls off in the distance in the past.

The incident is currently being investigated by Ptl. Kyle Rickvalsky along with the Manchester Township Animal Control Officer and representatives from the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife.

Because the investigation has not been able to definitively determine whether the victim was attacked by a dog or a coyote, the following public service announcement is being issued by the Manchester Township Police.

• Coyotes are now raising their pups and can be more territorial as they guard their mates, dens, pups and food sources. Here are some coyote safety tips to keep your family safe in the outdoors:

• Coyotes can be found in any open space, parks, neighborhoods and even commercial areas. As people and their pets spend more time outdoors, the possibility of a coyote encounter increases.

• Coyotes may try to escort you out of an area to protect their pups or food sources when you encounter them on a trail. Humans may perceive this behavior as stalking, which is usually not the case.

• They may also view your pet as prey.

• To let coyotes be wild while keeping yourself and pets safe, please follow these pointers:

. Never feed coyotes—it is illegal to feed coyotes in most places. Feeding endangers your family and neighbors as it lures coyotes into neighborhoods. . Keep unattended cats and dogs indoors or in completely enclosed runs, especially at night, and do not assume that a fence will keep a coyote out of your back yard. . Accompany your leashed pet outside. Make sure you turn on lights if it is dark to check your back yard for unexpected wildlife. . Keep dogs on short leashes while walking outside; the Division of Wildlife recommends a leash no longer than 6 feet. . Leave noisemakers on hand to scare away coyotes that may enter your yard, such as whistles and horns. . Don’t run away or turn your back on a coyote. . Do not allow a coyote to get in between you and your pet or child—keep children close to you. . Yell, clap hands, blow a whistle and try to make yourself look larger if you have a close encounter with a coyote.

Note where and when you have an encounter with a coyote. Coyotes often follow routines. Avoid this area in the future if the encounter was negative.
