By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Attendees were literally dancing in the aisles during a performance of the David Cedeno Band who brought their iconic Latin sound to the Jackson Library recently in honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month. Cedeno, a resident of Brick, has a 14-piece orchestra but due to the space limitations of the meeting room of the Jackson Library, he was joined by four members of his band.
Cedeno plays trumpet and sings. He provided a free CD to members and at the close of the performance held a contest for most energetic dancer. At the age of 14, he had already begun his path as an artist. As his career progressed, he wanted to share his passion with everyone. Together with his orchestra, Cedeno played a large variety of music including Latin salsa, Latin jazz, meringue, ballads,
and waltzes. Believing that music was “made to be shared,” he arranged some popular English hits by adding a Latin salsa beat while still keeping the original lyrics in English. These English titles include “Lady in Red,” “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” “Somewhere,” and “Sealed with a Kiss” - all of which were sung during the afternoon program at the library. “You don’t have to be a dancer you can just move,”
Cedeno told the audience.

Recall Of Committeeman Falls Short By Bob Vosseller PLUMSTED – A recall effort against Committeeman Dominick Cuozzo fell short of its mark having not secured the required number of signatures. If the opposition had received enough signatures within the allotted
time, it would have led to a recall vote during November’s general election. Once it was initiated, those who hoped to unseat him, had approximately 160 days to gather roughly 1,650 signatures of registered voters which represents
the required 25% of the total electorate – to force a recall election. Cuozzo, who serves as the pastor of the Bible Baptist Church, was sworn into office in January of 2022. The Committeeman was accused of extending his personal and re-
ligious beliefs into his actions in public office. He told The Jackson Times that he had never abused his power of office in any way. Committeeman Cuozzo posted on the social media page Recall Committeeman Dominick Cuozzo, “the losing re-
call committee admitted that they only got 97 of the 1,600 signatures required. Pretty pathetic. Regardless of the intentions of the losing recall committee, it’s nice to know that I still have the support of the people.” “I have never faltered (Recall- See Page 4)
