Inside The Law
By Chris Lundy TOMS R I V ER – Police and protesters marched side by side in reaction to the murder of George Floyd, the man killed by Minneapolis police. His death sparked protests – and riots – throughout the nation. Here in New Jersey, there have been peaceful protests, like in Freehold, and looting like in Atlantic City. Katrina Garcia saw that no one was starting
a protest or march of any kind in Toms River so she stepped up to fill that void. Asked why she did it, she answered “My kids. My children’s future. My generation right now is messed up because the generation before me didn’t finish” what civil rights leaders started. After she announced it, she said she wasn’t sure how it was going to go over. She was afraid that it was going

to get shut down. She was afraid that a violent element might show up. Then, she got the email of support from Toms River police. She was contacted by a local preacher asking if he could attend. “I kept faith in God and the community,” she said. Eventually, about 300 people wound up being part of it. Police Chief Mitch Little and Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer
were among those who marched with them. “I can’t be more proud and honored” with regards to her fellow protesters. “They really kept with the goal, which was peace.” Her children, ages 8 and 3, watched her on TV from home. “My children tell me I’m their hero so I have to live up to that.” In many of the more violent clashes that were reported, witness(Protest - See Page 4)

Toll Increase, Toms River Parkway Changes Proposed
By Chris Lundy TR ENTON – 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 per-
cent 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); f iberoptic lines ($100 million);

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Bipartisan members of the governing body urged Gov. Phil Murphy to reopen small businesses now - with safeguards - instead of waiting any longer. Mayor Maurice Hill said that Toms River businesses have the drive and the ability to reopen in a safe manner, and they should be allowed to do so. The mayor said the township has suffered tragic losses, but shared specific numbers to put it in perspective. As of Memorial Day weekend, Toms River had 486 cases. Of those, 118 were residents in long-term care facilities. The remaining 368 lived in 302 addresses. In other words, more than one person tested positive in some households. This amounts to .5 percent of Toms River’s total population. If you don’t count those in long term care, it’s .4 percent. Unfortunately, there were 117 deaths in Toms River. Of those, 84 were in long-term care facilities. This means that there were 33 deaths among the general population. Toms River’s population is greater than 90,000. “The governor is fond of saying ‘the data drives the dates,’” Hill said. This is why he shared Toms River’s data. Given these numbers, Toms River should be able to open up while still following safety regulations. He also wants more advanced warning from the state before regulations change. The statement might come out of Trenton in the evening and every town has to scramble for the next day to prepare for something new. He said he is worried about civil disobedience. Store owners might just decide to open in defiance of the state. Then local police will be put in the unfortunate position of dealing with that. Councilman Terrance Turnbach said that municipalities are in the best position to know what their people need and how to keep them safe because not every municipality is the same. “Everyone on the council is getting calls from small businesses wanting to be open. We don’t have the authority,” he said. “The time has come” to reopen, said Councilwoman Maria Maruca. There is guidance from associations, such as those that understand the restaurant industry, that are putting out guidelines on how businesses can (Open - See Page 4)

There were rumors early on that militant protestors would show up and damage property and go door to door attacking residents. These turned out to be only rumors - started by a white nationalist group trying to agitate emotions and foment a race war. “We’re going to walk with these people.

We’re going to support them,” Police Chief Mitch Little said. He said he hoped that people from outside the community don’t come in and ruin the peaceful demonstration that local residents are trying to accomplish. “We stand in solidarity with those that wish to protest peacefully,” Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said in a statement. “We are aware of rumors circulating on social media…and there is no evidence at this time to support those rumors. In collaboration with our law enforcement partners, we will be ready to handle any situation that may arise.”
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. The governor’s office said that Murphy’s stages of reopening are based on level of disease transmission risk and how essential a business is. “Through our combined efforts, we have flattened the curve of COVID-19 cases, and we are well-positioned to continue our restart and recovery process,” Murphy said in a statement sent in response to questions for this article. “Our multi-stage approach uses science, data, and facts to determine which businesses and activities can reopen according to their risk level and challenges they face to safeguard public health. Additionally, we will be guided by our ability to protect against a new COVID-19 outbreak with expanded testing and contact tracing, and clear social distancing safeguards in place. We are currently in Stage 1, and we will aim to move through each stage quickly, but also judiciously, with the public health of our communities and all New Jerseyans in mind. We are also counting on all New Jerseyans to continue keeping themselves and their neighbors safe by wearing face coverings, washing hands frequently, and limiting gatherings.”

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
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.
Man Rescued After Defying Governor’s Stay At Home Orders
TOMS RIVER – A Basking Ridge man had to be pulled from the rough surf off the coast of Normandy Beach when he went kite surfi ng. The crime? The beach was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The State Attorney General’s Office told Jersey Shore Online that 51-year-old Geof-
frey T. Vonderlinden was charged by New Jersey State Police late last month after defying the governor’s stay at home orders. Rescue crews got a call that Vonderlinden was in distress 50 yards offshore facing strong winds. He was pulled to safety by fire department rescue crews.

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.

Resolution To Forgive Superstorm Sandy Federal Relief Aid Passes In Committee Capitol Comments Senator Jim Holzapfel 10th Legislative District, Serving Toms River
TRENTON - A concurrent resolution sponsored by Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Greg McGuckin and John Catalano (all R-10) urging the President and Congress to enact legislation forgiving certain community disaster loans issued after Superstorm Sandy has passed the Senate Community and Urban Affairs Committee. SCR-111 echoes Congressman Chris Smith’s federal legislation,
H.R. 6454, a bill that would mandate the forgiveness of certain community disaster loans secured by New Jersey municipalities from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help with Superstorm Sandy recovery. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the lawmakers agree with Congressman Smith’s effort to help the State’s residents and businesses during the pandemic. This federal
resolution would have a profound impact throughout New Jersey in helping stabilize the economy, and would provide much needed support to the citizens of the State in the fight against COVID-19. “We are pleased to see this bill pass through committee bringing it one step closer to helping our residents during this difficult financial time,” stated Senator Holzapfel. “In 2012, our district was one of the hardest hit by Superstorm Sandy. While I have no doubt we will recover from this pandemic and come back stronger than before, we must provide some relief to our residents at this time.” Recently, FEMA has begun
to press New Jersey municipalities to start repaying the loans given out to residents and businesses to help the State’s post-Superstorm Sandy recovery. This mandatory repayment would have a devastating effect throughout the State, as these demands come at a time when New Jersey is struggling to fight COVID-19, the legislators said. The payments on the community disaster loans were originally allowed to be paid back slowly over time, with the possibility of forgiveness. “It’s been almost eight years since Superstorm Sandy and our residents are still feeling the financial impact of that natural disaster,” added
Assemblyman McGuckin. “Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of our residents are out of work and many small businesses are either partially or completely shut down. Repaying this debt to FEMA is nearly impossible at a time like this. Our legislation urges Congress and the President to forgive these loans and begin to get our state’s economy back on track.” Currently, New Jersey residents who were granted loans under the “Small Business Act” now face the possibility they may be prohibited from receiving further disaster relief aid during the COVID-19 pandemic since any new grant issued may be counted as a duplicate benefit. The bill also
addresses the lingering duplication of benefit problem by removing the receipt of small business loans as a disqualifier for people who sought or received federal money to help them recover in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. “We agree with Congressman Smith’s proposal to forgive loans and ensure that small businesses in our state can apply for federal relief without the fear of being excluded,” concluded Assemblyman Catalano. “These are unprecedented times and we feel federal loans issued after Superstorm Sandy can and should be forgiven. In order to get our economy running again, it starts with small businesses and their employees who deserve better.”
Congress Must Stop Pompeo’s Arms Deal With Saudi Arabia Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
WASHINGTON, 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 firing 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 firing 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 overturn Trump’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.

Toms River Allows Outdoor Dining Through Permit Process
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Diners in the township will soon be able to once again enjoy eating outside with proper precautions in place. Members of the Toms River Township Council unanimously approved a resolution that would allow for temporary outdoor dining during the COVID-19 public health emergency. Under the resolution, a section of the Township Land Use Code will be amended for special event applications to allow for outdoor tables, chairs, umbrellas and benches for food establishments. The $100 permit will be waived and the policy will take effect when permitted by Executive Order of Gov. Phil Murphy. Council President Maria Maruca said, “The Council has been working together to help our local businesses. We are being proactive so that once the governor does permit outside dining, Toms River will be ready for our restaurants.” The submission requirements include that all applications must be filed in the Township of Toms River Zoning Office as follows: 1. A completed “Township of Toms River Zoning Permit Application”. 2. The application must state the purpose and must also indicate the start date and duration. 3. The application must include a drawing depicting the size, dimensions, height, lettering, color and material of all special event signs. Applications for temporary outdoor display of goods should indicate the type, material and dimensions of the display area. 4. The application must include a survey or site plan based upon a survey marked to show the location and dimensions of all temporary outdoor display areas, tents and special event signs (banners, pennant banners, streamers, bunting; snipe signs, “A’ frame signs, etc.). Drawings depicting tents must comply with Section 348-8.37 of the
township, code. 5. Proposals for building mounted signs must include a drawing or photograph depicting the facade of the building and the location of the sign (s). 6. Any application for a special event at a site where multiple tenants exist (e.g. shopping center) must include a letter from the landowner or property manager approving the event. DURATION: 1. The duration of any permit issued under this temporary policy shall remain in effect until such time as: i. The governor removes the restriction for said applicant’s type of business; ii. The governor changes the restrictions for said business and changes to the approved layout are requested under a replacement permit. iii. Unforeseen issues arise from the implementation of a permit which could not be resolved with a new permitted layout or procedure. Restaurant owners are advised to review these guidelines before submitting an application to the Zoning Office as these rules will be amended periodically consistent with Executive Orders and the laws of the State of New Jersey. Mayor Maurice B. Hill said, “I want to thank the Township Council for approving this resolution. We believe that part of the Governor’s next phase of reopening will include restaurants and increased outdoor dining and this is the appropriate step to help them get back on their feet.” “We are all concerned about health and safety and the proper precautions will be place. All applications will be reviewed by our Township staff,” Council President Maruca, added.

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 Murphy’s orders to shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic. Unfortunately, these loans can be taxed in New Jersey, but Assemblyman Ron Dancer has a solution that will fix this issue. Assemblyman Ronald Dancer (R-Ocean) introduced a bill that would ensure 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 purpose. “Businesses are already trying 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 unnecessary tax burden.”

From Our Goddard Family to Yours –
Governor Announces Date For More Reopening
STAY SAFE, STAY HEALTHY, STAY HOME
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.

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.

Around The Jersey shore 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.
Local Elks Lodges To Observe Flag Day On June 14 NEW JERSEY – Local Elks Lodges throughout the United States, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Panama Canal, will celebrate Flag Day on June 14. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is the only fraternal organization to require a formal observance of Flag Day. In July 1908 the Elks Grand Lodge provided for the nationwide observance of Flag Day on June 14 each year making it mandatory for each subordinate lodge. June 14 was officially established as Flag Day by a proclamation by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. It did not become a national observance until 1949 when President Harry Truman, an Elks member, was inspired by his lodge in Independence
Missouri to sign an act of congress to dedicated June 14 to the symbol of the country. The Elks Lodge has nationally has made more than $14 billion in donations since its inception 152 years ago. Last year the Elks donated approximately $350 million in cash gifts to make communities better places to live. It is one of the premiere organizations in the U.S. and there are more than 1, 900 Elks Lodges across the country with a total membership nearing 800,000 Elks members who must be American citizens who are at least 21 years of age and must believe in god.

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.

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

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.

The event is scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Toms River Public Works Garage, 1672 Church Road, here. Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gary Quinn, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management said, “we want to make sure everyone’s safety is a priority as this event moves forward, and it is important that residents follow the guidelines to make this a success.” Quinn added, “residents dropping off material will remain in their cars essentially making the collection a drive thru in order to limit contact.We want to hold this program because we feel we can do it safely and we take great pride in our environment in Ocean County, and this program helps reduce the potential for environmental damage.” The collection is open to all residents of Ocean County, but businesses and institutions are not eligible.

Around The Jersey shore 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,â€? Gribbin added.

Around The Jersey shore Lawsuit Vs. Murphy Moved To Different Court
sadness, anger, guilt, anxiousness, loss of concentration, fatigue, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, racing heartbeat
If you are ready to start understanding your trauma, Providing trauma-focused therapy at no cost to survivors of sexual abuse and assault. Serving residents of Ocean County in English and Spanish with convenient locations throughout the county. Funded by the State of New Jersey Sexual Assault, Abuse and Rape Care (SAARC) Funds, administered by the Department of Children and Families, Division of Women.
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – An Ocean County lawsuit challenging Gov. Murphy’s Executive Orders has been moved to the Superior Court’s Appellate Division because he’s getting sued by other people as well. The lawsuit challenges Governor Murphy’s Executive Orders 103, 104 and 107, stating that they bear “no rational relationship to current public health, safety and welfare.” The reason for the move is that two other lawsuits challenging the Orders were made in other counties. It doesn’t make sense, according to Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal, for the case to be tried in three separate courts. There could be different outcomes. One option was to send the case to the Mercer County vicinage. Trenton is in Mercer County. So, for the sake of simplicity and consistency, they will all be heard in the Appellate Division, said Michael Deem. He is making the case through the law firm of R.C. Shea and Associates. The plaintiffs in the case are Car Wash and Beyond, Razberri Hair & Nail Design, Perfect Swing Golf, and Scott Convery, Justin Tucker, Allison Lanzano, Grisel Wilenta as administrator ad prosequendum for Arianna Wilenta,
Gina DiPasquale and Isabella Ghanbary, graduating seniors of Toms River High School East. The plaintiffs seek a permanent stop to the Executive Order, fees, and any other equitable relief. The governor’s office was asked for a comment, but a spokesperson said the governor does not comment on active litigation. The shutdown orders were done to promote social distancing, one of the only things known to slow the spread of COVID-19. Medical professionals have said these regulations are necessary in order to keep the numbers of patients at a level where hospitals can keep up with it. Now that some hospitals are reporting more coronavirus patients being released than being admitted, officials are saying that the social distancing is working. However, critics of the shutdowns have called them arbitrary, capricious, and infringing on their rights. Other defendants are Col. Patrick J. Callahan, in his official capacity as the State Director of Emergency Management and as Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police, State Education Commissioner Lamont Repollet, and Assistant Education Commissioner AbdulSaleem Hasan.

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 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/findfood to locate a FoodBank partner near them. Neighbors seeking additional nutrition assistance can receive help applying or recertifying for SNAP over the phone by calling 1-908-838-4831.

Around The Jersey shore 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 cur rently dispensing include Greenleaf Compassion Center of Montclai r, T he Bot anist (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 Department 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 Div ision of Med ici nal Ma r iju a na’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 a nd do e s not r e qu i r e ch a ng i ng I D 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.

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.

BUSINESS PROFILE DeGRAFF FUNERAL HOME Compassionate • Respectful • Flexible
DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home, Inc. 119 Union Avenue, Lakehurst, N.J. 08733 732-657-7868 Sherry T. DeGraff, Mgr. N.J. No. 3921 degrafffuneralhome@msn.com
DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home is family owned and operated. Founded by Donald & Wanda DeGraff in 1979 in historic downtown Lakehurst. The building itself has a funeral history dating back to the early 1900’s. “Our father was the type of person who was so very compassionate and caring,” said Sherry DeGraff, Manager. “He was an entrepreneur, involved in a number of businesses, but his love was always for the funeral industry.” DeGraff’s mother Wanda is still alive and “still our boss, even if she won’t admit it,” said DeGraff, and her father, Donald passed away in 2004. Growing up with the funeral business surrounding her, DeGraff said she learned from an early age how to treat customers in their time of need. “You handle people in the same way you would want your own family handled, “said DeGraff. “You have to be a good listener, have a lot of compassion and be very flexible. While the core values – compassion, respect and flexibility – have not changed for the DeGraff family, the trends in the funeral business have. Years back, cremations were rare and some religious affiliations did not hold them in high favor. In 1990 the DeGraff family saw the future trends were leaning toward cremation, as a result, their daughter Sherry opened DeGraff Cremation Service offering a wide variety of cremation service options. The move towards more cremation represents the largest shift in the funeral industry. In fact, many consumers believe the cremation
itself is performed at the individual funeral home or cremation service they hired. This is not correct. Crematories are owned by cemeteries. Most people are surprised when they hear that. Many people are unaware that cremation must be authorized by a spouse or blood kin under New Jersey State Law. This can cause undue stress for people who do not have a spouse or family. In 2004, New Jersey law provides for the des- DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home has been family-owned and operated at 119 Union Avenue, ignation of an individual Lakehurst since 1979.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JUNE 6 - JUNE 12
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep your temper on a tight leash in the week ahead even when it’s tempting to let it loose. You may be happiest when working as a team with some friendly people, but be discreet and avoid being too playful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you can’t win a war of wits, you may try to compete with your wallet. In the week ahead you may consider casually spending money just to prove a point. Avoid the temptation to please others no matter the cost. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Handling fastpaced activities and results-driven people may deplete your storehouse of social skills in the week ahead. Take a second look at bills, emails and proposals, as you might miss the fine print. CANCER (June 21-July 22): To make money, sometimes you must spend money. However, during the upcoming week you might notice that expenditures outweigh the benefits. You may suffer from an illusion that you are in total control. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Once you have a goal in mind, it may be difficult to stop thinking about it. Avoid any relentless quest for now, as this may offend friends or partners who feel left out of the equation. Be energetic but not headstrong this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the week ahead, keep your sights fixed on achieving major long-term goals even when new ideas, desires and distractions crop up. Don’t accept vague answers or ask misleading questions when money is involved.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your head might not understand what your heart already knows. At some point during the upcoming week you might realize that one of your best ideas was a mere fantasy. Don’t take a casual flirtation too seriously. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your warmth and friendliness are potent tonics best used in small doses as this week unfolds. Focus on finding longterm solutions to temporary financial problems. Don’t be too proud to ask for advice or guidance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You probably know best when it comes to handling your resources as this week unfolds. Some people may urge you to spend today and pay tomorrow, but you have a long-term vision of prosperity to bank on. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your generosity knows no bounds, but someone else may count on that. A co-worker or acquaintance may inadvertently cause you financial hardship. In the week ahead, remember “neither a borrower nor a lender be.� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone in your intimate circle could rub you the wrong way during the week to come. Abrasive individuals in the workplace could put you on your guard as well. Don’t take criticism personally but see the lesson. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Staging an intervention in an effective way may require all your diplomatic skills and your gentlest management. You may find yourself dealing with anger issues in the week ahead when someone doesn’t get their way.
