Toll Increase, Toms River Parkway Changes Proposed
By Chris Lundy TRENTON – The Turnpike Authority issued a plan to increase tolls throughout the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike which will include improvements in Ocean County and beyond. The tolls will increase by 27 percent on the Parkway and 36 percent
on the Turnpike for passenger vehicles. Commercial vehicles will see an increase as well. The tolls are expected to go into effect Sept. 13. In Ocean County, the Barnegat toll will increase from $1.50 to $1.90 and the Toms River toll will increase from 75 cents to 95 cents. The tolls on the
ramps in Waretown, Lacey, Berkeley, Lakewood and Brick will increase from 50 cents to 65 cents. The tolls will help pay for improvement projects throughout these two roads. Locally, there is a proposed change to Park way miles 80-83, in Toms River and South Toms
River. The Authority said four continuous lanes in each direction are needed between Interchanges 80 and 83 “to accommodate future traffic demands.” Full left and right shoulders will also be added. This project is expected to cost $75 million. Projects throughout the
state are digital message boards ($80 million); a paving program ($550 million); lighting ($50 million); replacing underground storage tanks with aboveground ones ($10 million); medians ($35 million); fiberoptic lines ($100 million); ramp widening ($20 million); software and (Tolls - See Page 4)

Local Police Respond To George Floyd’s Death
By Chris Lundy JACKSON – New Jersey law enforcement issued statements regarding the tragic death of George Floyd, and spoke about how important it is for police to treat the public with respect and fairness. “Along with my cadre of dedicated command staff and police officers, I am disturbed and saddened by the video of this incident, and none of them condone this conduct or would allow it to go on,” Jackson Police Chief Matthew Kunz said. “The primary purpose of our training is the preservation of life, and the protection of individual liberties. “We want the public to know that this act does not represent who we are as police officers or what we stand for. Our police officers believe in treating everyone fairly and impartially during our interactions with the public, and we thank all of our residents for the overwhelming support they show for our officers every day,” he said. His department sends their thoughts and prayers to the Floyd family, the residents of Minneapolis, and everyone else who has been affected by this tragedy. A statement from the County Prosecutors Association of New Jersey said that much of law enforcement’s relationship with the community is built upon trust. “We trust the members of our community to follow the law and cooperate with our efforts to enforce it; our community has the right to trust that they will be treated fairly and justly by the officers who serve them,” the Association said. They noted that this trust, professionalism and respect has been called into play while officers have had to enforce “significant restrictions on our normal activities with sensitivity to the stress that our residents are experiencing in the midst of this public health crisis.” Anyone who feels they have been the victim of bias is encouraged to contact that officer’s chief or the county’s prosecutor’s office so their complaint can be thoroughly investigated. The Association explained that last fall State Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal issued a comprehensive package of reforms intended (Police - See Page 4)

Ceremony:
Continued From Page 1 plan that for June 19.” However, with a May 26 announcement by the governor, things may change. During one of his daily briefi ngs Gov. Murphy announced that beginning July 6, school districts in New Jersey may hold outdoor graduation ceremonies that comply with social distancing requirements. The governor said the state will release additional guidance about how those ceremonies should be managed and organized. District Communications Director Allison Erwin said on May 26 that “The district is awaiting guidance from the state and will keep graduates and families updated as soon as possible.” “We have a number of things planned and we certainly want to fi nd ways to celebrate the phenomenal students we have. We will post more details about the virtual graduation ceremony and other senior recognitions on our website,” Genco said during the board meeting. “We are also seeing what we can add to these virtual graduation plans in the future. In order to design a plan worthy of our amazing students we have to begin now. If something changes we certainly will consider it but we would be remiss if we didn’t do everything we can at this juncture to make as good for our students what they deserve,” Genco added. The superintendent also talked about a recent communication to parents about the school district reaching phase three of its adaptation to the current school district remote learning program caused due to the coronavirus. “We carefully planned out the fi rst two weeks with assignments and we were able to identify students that from an equity standpoint didn’t have access to Chromebooks or computers and internet and were able to get them out in those fi rst weeks so the second phase looked different,” Genco said. “Now we are looking at the third phase and that will look even more different. As teachers continue with instruction they are planning to use the technology tools even more as they become more fluent with local video recordings as much as possible to deliver new material.” Genco said that the district will be
expanding its remote learning plans and expanding project based and collaborative assignments. “We defi nitely want to keep the school year going. We are mandated for the 180 days but we do recognize this is not normal circumstances. “Once the weather gets warmer keeping the students on track is challenging when the students are here, so it will be even more challenging when they are home. So, doing it remotely without having some challenge-based learning, I think would be impossible,” Genco added. Genco also noted “that typically in May we recognize the ROTC, and every year that I’ve been superintendent, the ROTC has been recognized as a distinguished unit with a merit award. In addition to all they’ve accomplished this year, just to mention a few, our Air Force Junior ROTC program at the high school has again earned ROTC distinguished unit merit award.” T he super i ntendent said that this award recognizes the personal growth and accomplishments of the cadets, the contributions of the instructors as mentors to the cadets and the support “our cadets provide to the community.” “These cadets have spent thousands of hours of community service and have raised thousands of dollars for their own drill equipment, supplies, scholarship trips, awards and experiences. T hey give back to others and most importantly, they set the best possible example for their peers and classmates,” Genco added. He later spoke about the annual award ceremonies that would normally be held around this time of year and would now be put together remotely. “The different honor societies are being inducted all virtually. You will have the opportunity to see that if you are invited to those events. They have a great template,” Genco said giving credit to District Communications Director Allison Erwin who designed them. Genco noted that award banquets would normally start occurring after Memorial Day weekend. “We are going to utilize those same dates and just do many of those same ceremonies virtually. I will be taping the speech I normally give for the senior awards. We will be creating all those virtual events.”

Box 5042, Woodbridge, NJ, 07095. Local officials have already expressed their displeasure. The 9th District legislators Senator Christopher Connors, Assemblyman Brian Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove have called on Governor Phil Murphy to veto the minutes of any meetings held by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) and
Kunz touched on this as well, saying Jackson officers welcomed the initiative. “We do this not simply because it is mandated, but because of the critical importance in training the most educated and compassionate police officers. As a department, we will continue to work hard each and every day to earn your trust.” the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) which approve the toll increases. “Please be advised that in March our Delegation wrote to Department of Transportation Commissioner Gutierrez- Scaccetti, NJTA Executive Director Keller and SJTA Authority Executive Stephen Dougherty calling on the officials to refrain from imposing the toll increases in view of the economic and financial hardships that would ensue for commuters and businesses. Further, we emphasized that the toll increases will have a chilling effect and likely exacerbate an already precarious economic situation created by COVID-19,” they wrote. They also argued that the timing of the hearings was inappropriate. While residents are largely focused on the pandemic, people were not aware of the potential increases. “Trenton should be focused on alleviating financial hardships, not increasing the cost of living and doing business in this profoundly difficult time for our state and nation,” they said.
CentraState Medical Center Reinstates Services As COVID-19 Cases Decline
FREEHOLD — In accordance with directives from the New Jersey Department of Health and Governor Phil Murphy, CentraState Medical Center began reinstating surgeries and invasive procedures on May 26. Such surgeries had been previously suspended due to COVID-19. The suspension of these surgeries and procedures preserved the medical center’s capacity to handle the surge of COVID-19 cases, which peaked in mid-April. Many key services have remained open, including the emergency department, labor and delivery, radiology, the Women’s Health Center, the laboratory, cardiac diagnostics, the MS Center, and cancer services. “We are open, safe and ready,” John T. Gribbin, president and CEO of CentraState Healthcare System said.. “Many people have delayed or avoided getting the care they need for fear of exposure to COVID-19 or because elective services have been temporarily unavailable.” Gribbin added, “we want to assure the community that we have implemented stringent safety precautions throughout our facilities and that they should prioritize health over any fears they may have.” He added that anyone who needs emergency care should not delay. Anyone who shows signs of a heart attack, stroke or who has been seriously injured should call 9-1-1 to get the care they need before it is too late. In addition, those with chronic conditions such as diabetes or hypertension should maintain contact with their healthcare providers to ensure they are staying healthy to prevent further complications.
Plans in place to protect patients, visitors and employees include the following—please check the CentraState website here for frequent updates on all of these policies: • Entrance points will be limited and every person who enters a CentraState facility will be screened for temperature and symptoms. • Visitor restrictions will still be in place. The following patients will be allowed to have one visitor accompany them: delivering mothers, end of life patients, pediatric, surgery and outpatient surgery patients. Accompanying visitor must be asymptomatic. • Plexiglass and other physical barriers have been installed in registration/information areas as needed. • Patient care and waiting spaces in all departments have been reconfigured to maintain physical distancing. • Universal masking of employees, patients and visitors will continue • Intensified cleaning, disinfection and ventilation will continue, including the use of ultraviolet light technology that kills pathogens on surfaces. • COVID-19 patients will be cared for in limited, isolated areas away from other patients. • Virtual options for care will continue as possible. “We know it has been a stressful time waiting for a surgery, diagnostic test or treatment, and taking care of those health needs is important. We are incredibly appreciative of the community’s support during this challenging period, and are looking forward to providing the compassionate, quality care we have always been known for,” Gribbin added.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Manchester Residents May Be Dying Of Fear
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Are Township residents dying out of fear of catching the coronavirus? Some oďŹƒcials believe that might be the case as some alarming statistics came to light recently. The township, which has a large number of seniors in a county that has the largest population of senior citizens in the state has noted a spike in deaths that some oďŹƒcials feel are linked to fear of COVID-19. Between early March and early May, Manchester Police have logged in an 81% increase in DOA (Dead On Arrival) calls compared to that same period in 2019. Such DOAs have been discovered by loved ones or during a wellbeing check. Many who died have had pre-existing health conditions. Dr. James Orlando, interventional cardiologist who was quoted in a local NBC aďŹƒliate TV report, said there may be some seniors who are showing symptoms of chest pains and are too afraid to go to their doctor’s oďŹƒce. They are afraid to come to the hospital because they are afraid of the virus. The township’s new EMS service which began in March, has had an alarming number of calls related to people having cardiac or stroke symptoms and EMTs are being told by those patients that they refuse to go to the hospital. This is even after the EMTs or physicians encourage them to go to the hospital. “It is more dangerous to stay home when you have symptoms that are cardiac and stroke related,â€? Police Chief Lisa Parker said during the NBC broadcast. She stressed that patients in such a situation, “really need to go to the hospital.â€? Dr. Orlando said that prior reports by doctors had stressed to seniors that they needed to remain at home and maintain social distance but now physicians need to tell them that it is all right to come out if they are not feeling well as they need to be seen so they can get the necessary help. The message needs to go out to seniors and Township oďŹƒcials are endeavoring to do just that in a variety of ways. Councilman Robert Hudak said, “It isn’t just true among seniors but among all of us. We don’t
know what the future is going to hold. I’m not a senior but as someone who is older and who has seen many more things, I can imagine what they are feeling. It is a really trying time right now.â€? Hudak noted that the fear of the unknown is something that causes fear in everyone. “None of us have experienced anything like this. We keep hearing that we are in uncharted territory and that is the truth.â€? Quoting one of his old professors Hudak said, “it is the unknown unknowns that are the biggest questions out there and it is true. We don’t know what tomorrow is going to hold. That uncertainty breeds anxiety.â€? Mayor Kenneth Palmer said getting the message out to the residents of the township’s many senior communities is not easy noting that many are not as technologically savvy with computer skills. He said that while many seniors watch the news, it is still hard to get the information out to them. The mayor and other oďŹƒcials are urging residents to fully evaluate any health scare that includes symptoms related to stroke or heart attack and to make decisions that will be best for their overall wellbeing and not base such decisions entirely on their fear of catching the coronavirus. Township oďŹƒcials urge residents, many of whom are senior citizens, to call 9-1-1 and go to the hospital if experiencing shortness of breath, consistent fever and flu-like symptoms, chest pain, heart attack or stroke symptoms. The mayor is requesting residents who are in contact with neighbors, friends and loved ones, to urge them to seek medical assistance if they are experiencing any of these symptoms. “We need to get the word out, especially to the 55+ communities,â€? Mayor Palmer said. “Not all of our residents follow social media, Facebook or internet news reports, so we are looking for residents to reach out to their neighbors.â€? Local oďŹƒcials stress that precautions are taken by EMS and hospital professionals to prevent the spread of Coronavirus. If any resident is suffering stroke or heart attack symptoms or other serious medical issues to be evaluated at your local emergency room.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Bill Would Strengthen Pandemic Resilience For COVID’s Second Wave From The Desk Of
Senator Robert Singer TRENTON - Just as it did to health care workers and first responders, the virus pandemic stressed the capabilities of local and county health departments to the breaking point. Senator Robert Singer (R-30 th) is determined to ensure the small, over-burdened health departments
are bet ter prepared for expanded public safet y roles if the coronavirus resurfaces in the fall. “As bad as the virus has been in New Jersey, claiming the lives of 11,000 people, we may well have dodged a bullet this time,” said Singer. “However, health experts and scien-
tists warn a second wave of COVID is almost inevitable without coordinated, aggressive effor ts. The next round could be even more dangerous, and it is essential our local and county health departments have the tools necessary to effectively respond to outbreaks. We must be battle ready at the local, county and state levels.” Senator Singer will introduce legislation to establish the “Local Health De pa r t ment I n fect iou s Disease Preparedness St udy Com m ission” to study the roles, respon-
sibilities and response of local and county health departments to the outbreak and provide guidance for future incidents. “The state response to the crisis has been underwhelming. Efforts to i mpleme nt w ide sprea d testing were frustratingly slow and tedious,” said Singer. “The study commission will provide vital insight if the Administration plans to continue relying on local and county departments to carry the ball.” A report published by ProPublica found that New
Jersey depends on small, local health departments more than any other state. Often, as was noted in the article, those small departments have been rebuffed when they sought guidance from the State on how to handle pandemic response, which is far outside their regular duties and beyond their capabilities. “T he pandemic has stretched local and county departments far beyond their missions, and we must examine why we’re the only state operating this way,” Singer said. Under the headline, “In
H a r d - H it Ne w Je r s e y, COVID-19 Saddles Some Small Health Departments with Crushing Workload,” ProPublica cited secretaries working as contact tracers, a person normally in charge of pet shops and tat too parlors monitoring nursing homes, and growing concerns that the workload will increase on local and county departments. The preparedness commission’s work will go beyond the current crisis and consider st rategies and concerns for all public health challenges.
Congress Must Stop Pompeo’s Arms Deal With Saudi Arabia Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
WASHI NGTON, D.C. - The American people have the right to know that while the Trump administration cannot seem to be bothered to build a political coalition to combat the biggest pandemic in a century, the administration has recently managed to find a way to double down on President Donald Trump’s repulsive embrace of Saudi Arabia’s murderous regime. And as usual, it involves arms. The administration is currently trying to sell thousands more precision-guided bombs to the President’s “friend,” Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Before we went into pandemic lockdown, I received draft State Department documentation that it is now pursuing this previously undisclosed sale - details of which have not yet been
made public - even though the Saudis seemingly want out of their failed and brutal war in Yemen, and despite the fact that a bipartisan majority in Congress rejected previous sales of these weapons. The administration has refused to answer our fundamental questions to justify this new sale and articulate how it would be consistent with US values and national security objectives. This is not an isolated problem. The administration’s attempt to carry out this arms deal comes on the heels of Trump’s fi ring of State Department Inspector General Steve Linick, who was reportedly investigating the administration’s special treatment of Saudi Arabia over the $8 billion deal, among other issues. The IG’s probe allegedly focused on Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo’s decision last year to declare what a bipartisan majority of Congress rightly condemned as a false emergency to avoid Congressional oversight of an $8 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Linick’s fi ring casts the first anniversary of that multi-billion dollar mistake into stark contrast. Not only has the President admitted to removing the IG at Pompeo’s behest, but the administration is also trying to get Congress to rubber stamp another massive sale of munitions to the Saudis. Congress has the ability to disapprove of the sale unless an emergency is declared as it was last year. Last year’s “emergency” arms sales debacle should serve as a warning to prevent history from repeating itself. To review, as the Senate Democrat with jurisdiction over US arm sales, I initially stopped the $8 billion sale until the administration could prove that Saudi Arabia had stopped bombing Yemeni markets, funerals, school buses full
of children, and hospitals. After Washington Post columnist and US resident Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered on what US intelligence agencies concluded were the orders of the Saudi Crown Prince, the campaign to justify the sale abruptly stopped. Instead, the administration tried to sidestep Congress’ statutory oversight role to finalize the sale. In May 2019, Pompeo relied on deception to declare 22 arms sales were an “emergency,” including nearly 60,000 precision-guided bombs that the Saudis had previously rained down upon innocent Yemeni civilians. The so-called emergency? To “deter further Iranian adventurism.” Sadly, subsequent Iranian attacks against oil facilities at Abqaiq and aggression in the Arabian Gulf confirmed these sales had little to do with deterrence of Iran and everything to do with placating bin Salman. In fact, Iran’s continued aggressive behavior and advances in nuclear technology development reconfirm its malign intentions in the region.
There was no emergency. It was a fabricated tale to reward an eager and unsavory customer of US arms. As a result, I led a bipartisan coalition that passed 22 Senate resolutions disapproving the sales. The House of Representatives followed suit. While we couldn’t overt u r n Tr u mp’s veto, we made clear that the Congress strongly rejected the administration’s sellout of US security and moral principles. Today, a year later, there is still no justification for the US to sell bombs to Saudi Arabia. That is why I am particularly troubled that the State Department has again refused to explain the need to sell thousands more bombs to Saudi Arabia on top of the thousands that have yet to be delivered from last year’s “emergency.” The secretary of state needs to answer our questions. What is their reasoning to continue selling weapons to the Saudis? Why should Congress allow Trump to continue currying personal favor with a capricious Saudi despot who thinks he can
butcher his critics without consequences? Ironically, that is why Inspectors General exist. They are key to a functioning democracy and their independence is paramount to conducting effective oversight of our federal agencies. Not coincidentally, Pompeo choked that accountability mechanism when he had Inspector General Linick silenced. We still don’t know exactly why Pompeo did it, but we know that Linick was seeking answers to these questions. That is why I joined forces with House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel to open a bicameral investigation into what appears to be a politically motivated act of retaliation designed to protect Pompeo. As inconvenient as the President and the Secretary might find Congressional oversight or Inspectors General, we will continue doing our jobs. The question remains: why is the President and his top diplomat working so hard to prop up one of the world’s worst despots? Until we have an answer, Congress must reject this new multi-million dollar sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE New Jersey American Water Provides $10,000 in Donations To Two First Responder Organizations
CAMDEN – New Jersey American Water is providing $10,000 in donations to the COVID-19 emergency funds of two first responder support organizations in New Jersey. New Jersey American Water is donating $5,000 each to the EMS Council of New Jersey and the New Jersey Firemen’s Home. “We are so pleased to be able to support organizations that provide aid to the first responders who serve our communities throughout the state year-round but especially during this public health emergency,” said Cheryl Norton, President of New Jersey American Water. Norton added, “these donations are just one-way New Jersey American Water says thank you for the bravery and selflessness of our everyday heroes.” The 90-year-old nonprofit EMS Council of New Jersey represents 17,000 EMS volunteers affiliated with 259 first aid and rescue agencies throughout the state. “Volunteer EMS is an integral part of New Jersey’s prehospital response system,” said Barbara Platt, President of the EMS Council of New Jersey. “Our member organizations are comprised of volunteers who rely on donations and fundraisers to buy equipment and PPE.” Platt said, “the COVID-19 pandemic has forced
cancellation of numerous fundraising activities for our squads, so we’re grateful for New Jersey American Water’s support during this difficult time. This donation will help us secure much-needed PPE to help keep our volunteers safe as they continue serving their communities.” The New Jersey Firemen’s Home is the only nursing home and residential-care facility dedicated to the state’s 77,000 active and retired firefighters. The home, administrated by the New Jersey Firemen’s Board of Managers, has served over 1,787 people since it opened over 100 years ago in Boonton and currently offers 75 long-term beds, 20 residential, and 10 memory care. “New Jersey American Water’s contribution to our COVID-19 relief fund will help us purchase the essential supplies needed to protect the health of our residents, staff, and nurses who are working very hard during this difficult time,” said Hugh Flood, Superintendent and CFO of the New Jersey Firemen’s Home. Last month, New Jersey American Water and the American Water Charitable Foundation together provided $65,000 in donations to the COVID-19 emergency response funds of the Cooper Health Foundation, Inspira Health, RWJBarnabas Health, and the New Jersey Pandemic Relief Fund.

Bill Introduced Requiring Insurance Coverage of Telehealth
NEW JERSEY - Legislation requiring all health benefits plans to provide expanded coverage for services provided using telemedicine and telehealth was recently introduced. The measure involves increasing reimbursement for services. The legislation was introduced by Assemblywoman Joann Downey and would require all New Jersey health benefits plans, Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare, and the State Health Benefits Programs (SHBP) and School Employees’ Health Benefits Program (SEHBP) to provide expanded coverage for services provided using telemedicine and telehealth. Specifically, the bill (A4179) would require all health insurance plans to reimburse medical providers for telehealth or telemedicine services with the same amount that they would receive for providing the same services in person. The bill also prohibits health benefits plans, Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare, and the SHBP and SEHBP from imposing “place of service” requirements on services provided using telemedicine and telehealth, and expressly allows licensed health care providers to provide services using telemedicine and telehealth. The bill also prohibits health benefits plans, Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare, and the SHBP and
SEHBP from placing restrictions on the electronic or technological platform used to provide telemedicine and telehealth, so long as the services provided when using that platform would meet the in-person standard of care for that service, and if the platform is otherwise compliant with the requirements of certain federal health privacy rules. “If a doctor can provide the same quality of services virtually that they can in person, there’s no reason for insurance plans to discriminate by lowering that doctor’s reimbursement,” said Downey (D-Freehold). The lawmaker added, “we’ve seen throughout this pandemic that many services can be provided equally well through virtual means, often at lower cost or greater convenience to all parties involved. This can be especially meaningful for seniors or patients with disabilities, who can face real challenges when finding transportation to a doctor’s office.” Downey added, “it’s time to move past an outdated model that punishes innovation and technology, and create a new paradigm that rewards efficiency and accessibility.” Assemblyman Eric Houghtaling and Assemblywoman Downey represent New Jersey’s 11th Legislative District in the State Assembly.

R.C. Shea & Assoc. AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE
Inside The Law Reviewing Your Estate Planning Documents In Light Of The Coronavirus By: Marc S. Galella, Esq., and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates With the coronavirus in the headlines today, a lot of clients are asking whether they need to update their Estate Planning documents which include Last Wills and Testaments, Powers of Attorney and Living Wills. In general, Estate Planning documents do not have to be revised because of age. Rather, they need to be revised when they no longer do what you need them to do. As important as it is to have these Estate Planning documents, it is equally important to keep them up to date. For example, are the persons who you named to inherit under you will still the persons that you want to inherit? Do you still want all of your children to inherit equally if you made gifts to one of your children during your lifetime? Did you provide for a trust for the benefit of your then minor children and they are now all over the age of 18 years? Do the persons that you named in your Will as the Executor still have the ability to perform the tasks associated with being an Executor? Do you have grandchildren that you want to name in your Will? If those grandchildren are under the age of 18 years, do you want their inheritance held by another person until they reach the age of 18, or maybe even older? Do you have a beneficiary who is receiving government assistance that would be disqualified by receiving an inheritance from you? Do you have a Power of Attorney? If so, do the persons named in the Power of Attorney still have the capability to perform the functions as your Attorney in Fact?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
Marc S. Galella Esq.
Does your Power of Attorney list alternates in case the persons you named to act for you are not capable of acting on your behalf? If you have a Living Will, have you looked at it recently to make sure the decisions you previously made as to life sustaining treatment are still what you want now. Has there been any change in your medical condition that is different now as opposed to when you made you Living Will? Are the persons you named in your Living Will as your Health Care Representatives still the persons that you want? Are they capability of acting in that capacity? We normally suggest that you take out your Estate Planning documents once a year and read them over to make sure that those documents still do what you remember that they did and what you need them to do now. However, in this time of medical concerns, it is a good idea to review your documents now to make sure you are protected in the event that you should become ill. We further suggest that you read your Estate Planning documents whenever there is a major event in your life such as a birth, death, divorce, change in financial status (you or your beneficiaries) or a change in mental capacity. The attorneys of R. C. Shea and Associates have over 100 years of combined experience in reviewing and preparing Estate Planning documents. Please call us to go over your Estate Planning needs.

Department Of Health Issues Two Permits To Dispense Medical Marijuana
NEW JERSEY - The New Jersey Department of Health this week issued permits allowing Zen Leaf Elizabeth (Verano) in Elizabeth and Columbia Care in Vineland to begin dispensing medical marijuana. This brings the total number of operating dispensaries in the state to 11. “It is critical that we continue to expand access for patients especially during these unprecedented times,” Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said. She added, “the availability of these new ATCs will provide residents in the northern and southern parts of the state better access to products they need to treat their conditions.” Zen Leaf Elizabeth opened on May 29 and Columbia Care will open in early June. The nine other ATCs currently dispensing include Greenleaf Compassion Center of Montclair, The Botanist (Compassionate Care Foundation) of Egg Harbor and Atlantic City, Garden State Dispensary of Woodbridge and Union Township, Breakwater Alternative Treatment Center of Cranbury, Curaleaf NJ, Inc. in Bellmawr, Harmony Dispensary in Secaucus and Rise in Paterson. “Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic the De-
partment has been committed to helping all sectors of our healthcare system respond including the medicinal marijuana market,” Persichilli said. In March, the Department issued several waivers to improve ATC operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. These included waivers that allowed for curbside pick-up, telephonic consultations (instead of in-person), volume-based discounts and reduced caregiver fees. Participation in the program continues to grow. There are currently over 77,000 patients, 3,000 caregivers and 1,100 physicians enrolled. Patients and caregivers can visit the Division of Medicinal Marijuana’s website if they choose to change their preferred ATC. The change can also be made by calling the Customer Service Unit of the Division at 844-419-9712 and does not require changing ID cards. Patients can refer to the FAQ section of the website for additional information. Active physicians enrolled in the program are listed by county and medical specialty. New Jersey residents interested in registering for medicinal marijuana requires an authorization by a participating physician.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Governor Announces Date For More Reopening
By Bob Vosseller TRENTON - The governor announced June 15 as the date that New Jersey would be entering Phase Two of its reopening. “Public health determines economic health and data determines dates,” Gov. Phil Murphy said on June 1. Phase Two has been described by the state has having restrictions relaxed on activities that can easily be safeguarded. Phased-in businesses may include: • Expanded retail • Safeguarded restaurants with outdoor seating • Limited personal care • Possibly indoor dining, museums, and libraries, all with significantly reduced capacity More work activities will be allowed at physical locations only if they adhere to safeguarding and modification guidelines. All workers who can work from home should continue to work from home. “We have lost around 12,000 people because of the coronavirus and we know we will lose more,” he said. “We know that right now there is no cure. There is no vaccine. “We’re already seeing the results of responsible planning. Key metrics of hospitalizations have dropped dramatically. It was only weeks ago that we feared that ICUs (intensive care units) would have run out of room but we are seeing they have plenty of equipment and room including ventilators,” Murphy said. He added that 20,000 tests of the coronavi-
rus can occur each day. “New Jersey leads the nation in daily testing per capita due to everyone’s hard work. We will keep building to remain number one. We set and then met and exceeded them to lead the nation.” Non-essential stores would be able to welcome back customers on June 15 inside. “Our gyms and health clubs will be able to open at limited capacities soon and we’ll have a date for that soon,” the governor added. Salons and hair facilities may open by June 27. “Those workers who can work from home will be expected to keep having their workers working at home. Let’s use common sense. We still face challenges. We are still seeing more people testing positive than any other state but we are testing more,” Gov. Murphy said. Gov. Murphy said that while the state is preparing to open up, “we cannot do it blindly.” He noted the 11,721 deaths blamed on the coronavirus as of that day. “We are responding responsibly in the face of this pandemic and the tremendous toll it has taken in this state. In recent weeks we have been able to take our first steps on our road back with our restart and our recovery with small and meaningful steps…Steps to get all our construction officers back on the job, to allow our retail stores to serve more customers through curb side pickup starting the process of greenlighting summer day camps, to resume sports and the beaches,” Murphy said. Murphy could not yet say how Stage Two would impact the opening Motor Vehicle Commission offices in the state.
United Way’s Women United Hosts Diaper Drive NEW JERSEY – United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties’ Women United leadership group is hosting a diaper drive in order to provide a desperately needed resource to families in our community. There are many parents and caregivers in Monmouth and Ocean counties who unfortunately lack a sufficient supply of diapers for their young children to remain clean, dry and healthy. Diapers cost an average of $80 a month for one baby, and they cannot be obtained with WIC, food stamps, or any other government program. Diaper need can be more distressing than not having enough food for their family. Parents with diaper need have also reported more difficulty with stress management and coping with trauma, which can negatively affect a child’s growth and development. “Financial challenges existed for many families prior to the COVID-19 crisis, but now with additional obstacles such as job loss, rising costs of food and scarcity of basic necessities, they are having to make even more difficult decisions about how their limited funds
are spent,” said Kelly Fliller, Chair of United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties’ Women United. “Part of Women United’s mission is to improve the lives of youth and their families, so we are very happy to help supply this unmet need, especially during these uncertain and unprecedented times.” Diapers in any size, any brand and in any amount can be donated through Women United’s Target wish list now through June 19, 2020: tgt.gifts/WomenUnitedDiaper. Diapers can also be purchased in stores and dropped off at the United Way office on Thursday, June 18th from 12pm-4pm or Friday, June 19th from 9am-1pm. The office is located at 4814 Outlook Drive in Wall Township, NJ and donations can be brought to the United Way van in the back parking lot. Arrangements can also be made for curbside pick-up if needed. For more information about the Diaper Drive, please visit uwmoc.org/diaper-drive or contact Jackie Liguori at 848-206-2037 or jliguori@uwmoc.org.

Community FoodBank Of NJ Receives Relief Grant NEW JERSEY – The Community FoodBank of New Jersey (CFBNJ), the state’s largest anti-hunger and anti-poverty organization, would like to extend its gratitude to Feeding America, which awarded a generous grant of $635,994 last month, helping to continue the FoodBank’s statewide aid efforts amidst the COVID-19 outbreak. These funds, part of a personal donation of $100 million from Amazon CEO and philanthropist Jeff Bezos, have been instrumental to CFBNJ in its efforts to continue to serve neighbors in need, helping to further daily operations for the FoodBank during this difficult and uncertain time. The funds provided helped make April a record-breaking month for the FoodBank, which was able to distribute enough food throughout the Garden State to support more than 7 million nutritious meals, the most ever in its 45-year history. During this critical time, generous grants like this one allow the Community FoodBank of New Jersey to continue to provide essential food through its network of partner agencies to keep vulnerable individuals and families fed – work that would not be possible without supporters like Jeff Bezos and incredible organizations like Feeding America, whose leadership is needed now more than ever.| “Contributions from generous donors
Speeding Stop Results In Drug Arrests
By Chris Lundy JACKSON – A vehicle going 25 miles over the speed limit was pulled over and police arrested the three inside on drug charges. The stop happened on May 27 on Toms River Road, police said. Officer Robert Reiff pulled over the 2005 Chevy and thought that the driver appeared under the influence. A search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of a large quantity of heroin and syringes. These three were arrested: • Joseph Hoover, 33, of Forked River. He was charged with possession of heroin, possession of heroin with intent to distribute, driving under the influence of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of CDS while operating a motor vehicle and other motor vehicle violations. He was released on a summons complaint pending a court appearance. • Stephanie Hoover, 36, of Forked River. She was charged with possession of heroin, possession of heroin with the intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia. She was released on a summons complaint pending a court appearance. • Joseph Witty, 37, of Waretown. He was charged with possession of heroin and possession of heroin with the intent to distribute. He was released on a summons complaint pending a court appearance. Charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law. Merchandise and tools suspected of being stolen property were also recovered from the vehicle and the vehicle was seized pending further investigation and forfeiture proceedings.
like Jeff Bezos are more important to our nation’s food banks now than ever before,” said Carlos Rodriguez, President & CEO of the Community FoodBank of New Jersey. “The entire team at the Community FoodBank of New Jersey is so proud of the record-breaking work we have been able to do during this pandemic, feeding
so many New Jersey residents in need. Of course, none of what we do would be possible without the incredible help generous donors provide, and we are both grateful for and humbled by all the support we have received over the last few months.” Stay informed by visiting cfbnj.org and checking the Community FoodBank of
New Jersey’s Facebook (@communityfoodbankofnj), Twitter (@cfbnj) and Instagram (@cfbnj). Those in need of food can visit cfbnj.org/fi ndfood to locate a FoodBank partner near them.

How To Get Rid Of Moths
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Let me start with I’m not really a bug lover, or a tree hugger type of person. But I don’t see the need to kill certain creatures just because they got lost and found their way into my home. I will try to trap and free certain things, depending on how big they are. But the moths are creating marital stress. Sam is skittish about doing bug removal, but the agreement we had when we got married in the state of Florida, was that he would deal with all cockroaches and spiders, if I would deal with the snakes and mice. While there have been tense stares over the past 22 years of marriage, I will vouch for his ability to perfectly execute his husbandly tasks, lol! Nothing was discussed about the moths. Apparently, this is my new fulltime job. We live in Colorado where every spring, there’s a situation! The migration of moths begins here and in Kansas, and f lies over our state, westward. You can try to chase moths out of your house, but this takes patience. Find one on your window, and put a cup over him, and then slide a sheet of paper between the cup and the glass. Very carefully lift this, and free the moth outside. There’s one aggressive sucker is in my bathroom so I decided to make my own moth repellant spray. The essential oils can be purchased anywhere. Try my formula for a moth spray and spritz it in your closet, your bedroom or
kitchen, or anywhere, and it will repel them from coming into that specific area. It will scare away most bugs for that matter! Spray every few hours. Adjust the scent to your liking. For example, add less eucalyptus and more lavender if you find my formula too zingy for you. Don’t spray it directly on your clothes. Moth Repellant Spray Water 4 ounces Essential oil of Cedar - 20 - 30 drops Essential oil of Lavender - 10 - 20 drops Essential oil of Peppermint - 5 - 10 drops Essential oil of Eucalyptus - 10 - 20 drops Optional: Citronella Essential Oil - 5 drops Directions: Pour water into the spray bottle and add the essential oils. If you don’t like the scent, add something to it that you do like, such as Wild Orange or Lemon essential oil. Spray as desired into the room, or window sills, door frames and areas where you see a moth. In closing, there are many ways to get rid of moths. You definitely don’t want these things laying eggs in your home because when they hatch, you’ll be faced with a big infestation. They can’t live more than a few days without feeding on plants or leaves. Another idea is to buy fresh rosemary or thyme herb, and bundle it, and lay it in the closet, or the bathroom because the moths won’t like that and they’ll stay away. For that matter, you can add those two essential oils to your moth spritzer.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
The New Normal According To Dr. Izzy New Jersey is continuing to identify new cases of COVID-19 but our “curve” will continue to flatten but the virus will remain with us for at least the remainder of the year. In my opinion, the “new normal” will include a) social distancing, b) continued use of wearing a mask, c) frequent hand washing, and d) no more hugs for a while. Telepractice will become increasing popular in all medical fields, including hearing healthcare. Remote programming of hearing aids has been available for several years, but in my opinion, the majority of our patients calling our offices cannot benefit from remote programming. During this pandemic, due to the frequent use of wearing a mask, dozens have “lost” their hearing instruments or broke a receiver wire. Many other patients have a “dead” hearing aid and the only way to fix it is to send it back to the manufacturer. Remote programming would be a complete waste of time in these instances. We have continued to offer “curbside services” and/or drop off services at our Toms River office. This concierge service is critical during this time of uncertainty as well as the increased importance of communication with family
and friends. As our offices begin to transition to opening again, the “new normal” will require us to scan temperatures, ask patients specific questions related to covid-19 symptoms, stagger appointments so there’s no more than two patients in our office at the same time and allow extra time to disinfect all areas once the patient has left. This “new normal” will significantly limit the total number of patients we can see but it’s absolutely critical to follow these procedures at least for the remainder of the year. For over 30 years, Garden State Hearing & Balance Center is here to help anyone who is suffering from hearing loss and/or can’t communicate with their loved ones because they’re hearing aid stopped working. In these times of social isolation, it’s imperative that we communicate with our loved ones. We need that connection for psychosocial and cognitive support. If you need our help, please call us at 732-8183610. We will be re-opening very soon! Please stay healthy, stay home, practice social distancing and I promise you there will be a bright light at the end of the tunnel. All the Best! Dr. Izzy

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE New Hours For OCC Coronavirus Drive Thru Test Center
By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – Testing hours will be reduced starting on the first week of June at the Ocean County College’s test center for residents testing for the coronavirus. The drive thru testing site on the Toms River campus will continue to be done on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, but the hours will be changed to 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. “We have been watching the appointment schedule and reviewing the number of tests being done the days we are there,” Ocean County Public Health Coordinator Daniel Regenye said.. He added, “at this time we are comfortable in reducing the hours and we can still meet the testing needs of our residents. It remains imperative that people follow the requirements to be tested at the college.” Regenye said. “We do not want anyone to show up at this testing site without following the requirements we have put in place. We are not going to do any health screenings at the site. It is just for testing for the virus.” The testing requirements remain the same for the site. Ocean County Health Department officials are reminding residents of the requirements to be tested include: • You must be an Ocean County resident and have identification. • You must have a healthcare practitioner script. • You must make an online appointment at www.ochd.org. • You must be symptomatic. • Entry to the college site is from the Hooper Avenue entrance. Regenye said that any practitioner (including Nurse Practitioner, Advanced Practice Nurse, Medical Doctor, Physician Assistant etc.) who has “prescriptive” privileges in New Jersey can write a script for COVID testing, it does not necessarily have to be a physician. He stressed that with many health care providers currently doing telemedicine, individuals do not need to see a physician in person to obtain the necessary script. The hospitals assisting in staffing the testing site - both Hackensack Meridian Health and RWJ Barnabas Healthcare System - have telemedicine opportunities to assist Ocean County residents obtain the required healthcare practitioner script before traveling to the testing center. The telemedicine services at the hospitals can be accessed at Hackensack Meridian Health (Ocean Medical Center, Southern Ocean Medical Center) hackensackmeridianhealth. org/covid19/ RWJ Barnabas Healthcare System (Community Medical Center, Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus) RWJBHtelemed. org use code RWJBH15 Regenye said that many pharmacies and
other testing sites for asymptomatic people have opened throughout the state with some located in Ocean County. “While we remain a testing site solely for residents that have shown symptoms of Covid 19, we are recommending others who may want to be tested that are asymptomatic and do not have a script or are looking to have the antibody test done can access testing site information from various websites,” Regenye said. Two websites providing this information are: covid19.nj.gov/pages/testing and covid19. nj.gov/pages/testing#test-sites. Around 4,500 COVID-19 tests have been performed at the drive thru testing site at Ocean County College. Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said, “this drive thru testing site has been a cooperative effort by a number of agencies. It has gone very smoothly.” Partners in the testing site include U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the Ocean County Office of Emergency Management under Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy, the Ocean County Health Department, RWJ Barnabas Health Southern Region and Hackensack Meridian Health and Ocean County College. “Residents remain in their cars and medical personnel perform a nasal swab at the OCC site,” Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little said. Little is liaison to the Ocean County Health Department. Little added, “we are working to make this convenient and more importantly safe for the public, the health care providers on site and staff.” As of May 28, Ocean County has recorded 8,527 cases of the coronavirus. Regenye emphasized that anyone getting the test should continue self-isolating after receiving it. “If you have symptoms, you should be returning home immediately after being tested and continue self- quarantining. If you have the coronavirus you will be spreading it if you are not isolating,” Regenye said. Once the test has been performed, it’s anticipated to take about three to five days for results to be returned. “All the results will be available on the BioReference Laboratories Patient Portal: Bioreference.com/patients/ and through the Ocean County Health Department residents will be notified whether they test positive or negative,” Regenye added. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, fatigue, a dry cough and shortness of breath. Ocean County has also established a process to ensure that people with test results are informed in a timely manner and provided with guidance, consultation and next steps.

Vicari said.

Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome By: Jessica Abraham, OT, Certified Hand Therapist, Toms River Location
Have you ever woken up with a sensation of pins and needles in your fingers? Do you find that you are dropping objects more frequently? If you answered yes to those questions, then you may be experiencing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) often starts as a general sensation of aching or weakness throughout the wrist and hand and can lead to numbness and tingling into your fingers. An increase in symptoms can be experienced as the condition progresses and may start to have an impact on your daily activities. Evidence suggests that 3% of women and 2% of men will experience carpal tunnel symptoms in their lifetime and the average age of onset is 55 or older. To begin, let’s discuss the anatomy of the carpal tunnel. There is a small, internal space on the palm side of the wrist and this space is called the carpal tunnel. The top or roof of the carpal tunnel is formed by a ligament that runs across the wrist. The median nerve and several flexor tendons run through this tunnel. The median nerve is responsible for providing sensation to the thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by excess pressure being applied to the median nerve at the wrist level. The extra pressure on the nerve can decrease the nerve’s ability to send its signal to the fingers causing a sensation of pins and needles. You can think of the median nerve as a garden hose; when you step on a hose the flow of water is decreased and when the pressure is taken off, the water can flow freely. This is the same concept with the median nerve and the extra pressure that can occur in the carpal tunnel. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: • Tingling/Numbness in the palm side of your thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers. You will not feel these symptoms in the small finger with carpal tunnel syndrome. This often occurs during prolonged gripping activities such as holding a phone or newspaper or can occur at night. Many people often wake up with the sensation of numbness in their hand and find themselves ‘shaking out’ their hand for relief. • Weakness throughout the hand and fingers. People often report feeling clumsy or will frequently drop objects.
• Pain that radiates from the wrist down into the hand or travels up the forearm toward the shoulder. CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS: The exact cause of CTS is typically unknown. Compression or pressure on the median nerve can happen in several ways including: • Repetitive use of hand and fingers • Keeping the wrist in a bent position for a prolonged period of time • Inflammation of the tendons that run through the carpal tunnel • Water retention • Pregnancy Research has shown that conditions such as arthritis, wrist fractures, or dislocations may cause the carpal tunnel to narrow. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, individuals with metabolic conditions, such as diabetes, are at higher risk for CTS. Women are three times more likely to experience carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms than men and it rarely affects children. According to the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, in severe cases of carpal tunnel syndrome, numbness can be permanent and there may be a loss in the muscle mass at the base of the thumb. TREATMENT OPTIONS: There are several treatment options for CTS including occupational therapy. An occupational therapist is a skilled health professional who will evaluate your condition and how the symptoms are impacting your ability to complete your daily activities. Some treatment options include: • Wrist splinting to provide support and keep the wrist straight to reduce pressure being applied to the median nerve. Wrist splints are typically worn at night to bed to reduce symptoms that may interfere with sleep. • Activity modification techniques to continue to participate in daily and recreational activities without increasing CTS symptoms. • Stretching and strengthening exercises to help reduce pain and improve grip strength and function of the hand. An occupational therapist will be able to design and implement a
treatment program to assist in alleviating your symptoms. Corticosteroid injections, non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs, and use of vitamins such as B6, may also be used in conjunction with therapy to help reduce symptoms. If conservative treatment is not successful in alleviating symptoms, carpal tunnel surgery has proven successful in alleviating CTS symptoms. Carpal tunnel syndrome can have a significant impact on all aspects of your daily routine. Early diagnosis is important to prevent irreversible damage to the median nerve and prevent you from participating in your daily activities. At All-Care Physical Therapy, our Hand Therapist specializes in the treatment of carpal tunnel and other hand disorders. Contact your physician if you are experiencing these symptoms and ask if an Occupational Therapist at All-Care can help. OT Hand Therapy is practiced in Toms River, Jackson, and Whiting locations!

Assemblyman Dancer Moves To Forgive PPP Loans Untaxable
By Bob Vosseller TRENTON –The Paycheck Protection Program established by Congress in late March was aimed at helping businesses keep making payroll for eight weeks, despite Gov. Phil Mu r phy’s orders to shut dow n because of the coronavir us pandemic. Unfor t unately, these loans can be taxed in New Jersey, but Assemblyman Ron Dancer has a solution that will f ix this issue. Assembly man Ronald Dancer ( R- O c e a n) i n t r o d u c e d a b i l l t h a t would ensu re forgiven loans would not be subject to the state’s income tax. By allowing these loans to be exempt, Dancer believes businesses will be able to use the funds for their intended pur pose. “Businesses are already t r ying to stay af loat during this pandemic and to subject them to more taxes in a time like this is absurd,” stated Dancer. Dancer said, “these loans are to help business owners keep their employees on their payroll and should be used solely for that purpose. We must make sure New Jersey business owners will be able to return to a thriving business not to an unnecessar y tax burden.”
priate through recommendations and guidance from our healthcare experts.” Until Ocean County Foot & Ankle Surgical Associates is able to fully reopen, Dr. Petranto wants patients to know that they are still here for them now and in the days ahead. “We will get through this together, one step at a time, and we will be stronger than ever before,” he said. To schedule an appointment with an Ocean County Foot & Ankle Surgical Associates physician, please call 732-5054500.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of MAY 16 - MAY 22
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can’t hurry love. Avoid coming on too strong if you give someone your undivided attention. If someone is meant to be in your intimate circle, then divine providence may give you a clue in the week ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Rock the boat if you must, but don’t capsize it. You might drop what you’re doing to try something new and surprise someone who thought you’d do something else. Focus on being productive in the week ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Recognize that things you do could have far-ranging effects that you may not have anticipated. Focus on learning something from others and avoid offering your own opinions. Plan wisely to begin key projects late in the week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the coming week you might be exposed to some odd ideas. Thanks to your common sense and a devoted someone who offers a wise assessment, you may not get caught up in anything that would cause you lasting problems. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You recognize a good value when you see it. You might be wise to put terms under a microscope before you make a final decision about a purchase or investment. Better opportunities may arrive as this week unfolds. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be mindful in the upcoming week. You may find the advice or support you need to enrich your life and make a project a success. Avoid making spur-of-the-moment financial decisions or major purchases in the first half of the week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your heart
may be like a roulette wheel, so you can’t always anticipate where your interests will land. In the upcoming week you might see friends in a new light and enjoy spending more time with online social groups. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Insecurities might occasionally well up and undermine your confidence. When someone does or says the unexpected, you might not know which way to turn. In the upcoming week, accept changes with good grace. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You might be too optimistic about your financial condition in the week ahead. Steer clear of chancy enterprises that might sound like a calculated risk but attract your interest only because they seem exciting. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The pressure from outside influences could provoke you to abandon a pet project. There might not be enough time, or you may be distracted by other priorities as this week unfolds. Focus on making your future better. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might remain on edge until you deal with unfinished business. Don’t be distracted by social requests or online meetings with friends in the week ahead. Apply yourself to achieve your dreams of financial security. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The person you are crushing on might not feel the same way. Due to your own romantic yearnings, you might be blind to the feelings of others in the week ahead. If you’re confused it’s because you may not be seeing clearly today.
