EMTs Praised By Community
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – The township’s EMS employees have received some accolades in recent weeks by township officials, residents and their superiors. Two of the township’s Emergency Medical Technicians were noted for their quick and professional action recently. “We could not be prouder of the Emergency Medical Technicians who serve in Manchester EMS,” Police Chief Lisa Parker said. She noted letters from residents that highlight how they go above and beyond to provide the highest level of care to township residents, “all while taking pride in our community.”

Report Examines Beaches Most Impacted By Pollution
By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY – Even in a summer featuring pandemic restrictions which have limited beach attendance at certain beaches, bacteria pollution at ocean and Barnegat Bay beaches remains a health concern, local environmentalists said. Environment New Jersey Research & Policy Center released a report identi-

The chief added, “these professional EMTs truly have a heart of service and have consistently shown an exemplary level of pre-hospital care. I’m very proud of them.” EMTs Richard Gabriel and John Filardo in particular were singled out for their efforts along with all of the township’s EMTs. Mayor Ken Palmer noted during a recent council meeting how pleasant it was receiving an e-mail from a resident saying, “I just saw one of your young EMT crew driving rig 536, stop his ambulance in the parking lot of the Santander bank and do something great.” The mayor continued to read the e-mail: “He noticed a few flags down on Route 7170 by the building and touching the ground. In 90 degree heat he got out walked over to the flags, picked them up, brushed them off and put them back into the ground. I saw this as an act of love for this country and this town. I didn’t get this young man’s name but saw him as an exceptionally good young man to be working for this town.” “Since we started this program, there has not been one negative comment about any of our EMTs. It is probably the best thing I’ve been a part of in the last five and a half years of being mayor of the town,” Mayor Palmer said. (EMTs - See Page 4)

Continued From Page 1 Council President Sam Fusaro added during that meeting that, “the EMS is getting the work done. They are almost going to every call, at least 90-plus percent and their time from call to home is ridiculously short. I think it is like seven minutes. They are to be commended.” Mayor Palmer got more precise saying the longest response call recorded was seven minutes and 40 seconds. The new EMS service began in March. In late February, Chief Parker appointed Robert Baran as the township’s fi rst director of the Division of Emergency Medical Services as the division falls within the
Department of Public Safety. Parker noted that Baran, who had been hired by the township in December of 2019, had been instrumental in assisting the police department’s staff with preparing the Division for full operation when it began on March 1. He also serves as a career firefighter and holds many certifications in technical rescue disciplines. Equipment Needed Earlier this summer, members of the township’s EMS service launched an effort to combat COVID-19 through a new program called Project PPE. The program involves Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like masks and surgical caps which have been in short supply across the country.
Such shortages have led many resourceful and innovative people to create homemade surgical masks and caps as a way of protecting themselves and their loved ones from the spread of coronavirus. Healthcare partners in local hospitals have been able to use these homemade masks and caps as well. When disposable N95/KN95 Masks and Surgical Caps come in contact with airborne contaminants they can no longer be safely used. In a hospital setting this exposure happens at a rapid rate. Therefore, washable equipment has a longer usable life. EMS members are seeking to partner with the community through “Project PPE” with those who would like to donate
PPE (homemade and disposable) that can be distributed to area hospitals and the healthcare staff working inside them. The EMS set up a no-contact PPE Donation Box has been set up outside Manchester EMS Headquarters at 29 S Colonial Drive for any and all donations. As a precaution, EMS members will launder all donations and then make sure those donations fi nd their way to a healthcare worker on the front lines helping to combat COVID-19. Those seeking to help can reach out to the Manchester EMS through private message or the “Contact Us” page at manchesterems.com with any questions or to coordinate large donations.

Continued From Page 1 and the Sierra Club. Last year, bacteria levels at New Jersey beaches indicated that water was potentially unsafe for swimming there on at least one day 73 times, according to the new report “Safe for Swimming?” by Environment New Jersey Research & Policy Center. Environment New Jersey Research & Policy Center Director Doug O’Malley said, “one day of a beach closing is too many. We need to keep our beaches safe for swimming by working with shore towns to build the infrastructure that will keep the water clean.” He added, “the shore is packed this summer and our natural areas have been never been more crowded. In the summer of COVID, let’s commit to practicing social distancing, beating the virus and cleaning up our waters.” O’Malley added, “now is the time to provide funding to ensure that our waters are always safe for swimming by reducing run-off and sewage pollution.” To assess beach safety, the group examined whether fecal indicator bacteria levels exceeded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) most protective “Beach Action Value,” which is associated with an estimated illness rate of 32 out of every 1,000 swimmers. Beachwood Beach West in Beachwood and the 25th Street Bay Front Beach in Barnegat Light both had nine exceedances and had bacteria levels above this safety
The Manchester Times, August 1, 2020, Page 7 threshold on 50 percent and 43 percent of the days respectively tested last year. The testing was conducted at 222 Ocean and Bay beaches. Clean Ocean Action Director Cindy Zipf said, “the Jersey Shore’s ocean water quality isn’t perfect, but it has come a long, long way – vastly improving since the late 1980s when hundreds of beaches were closed for weeks on end.” “Over the years, Clean Ocean Action has worked together with many people at the federal, state, and local levels to successfully identify and stop sources of what we call ‘poo-llution’ into our coastal waterways,” Zipf said. She added that due to a grant from the NJDEP, Clean Ocean Action, Save Barnegat Bay, and the Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science (MATES) “are teaming-up to find and slow the flow of poo-llution in Barnegat Bay, a hot spot highlighted in the study.” Zipf said, “the truth is, water quality really depends on all of us, and residents can help by getting involved in protecting your local waterway and always collecting your pet’s waste and never leaving it behind.” Polluted runoff from roads and parking lots, overflowing or failing sewer systems, and farms are common sources of contamination that can put swimmers’ health at risk and lead authorities to close beaches or issue health advisories. Scientists estimate that 57 million instances of people getting sick each year from contact with polluted waters in the U.S. Beachwood Mayor Ron Roma said, “we
are committed to fi nding and fi xing the problems that cause our beach closings. We have expended significant resources with multiple partners to date and will now be partnering with a grant to bring in specially trained dogs to sniff-out any sewer leaks that may be under the ground in the coming year to help locate problem areas.” Beachwood’s beach is actually on the Toms River, fed by Barnegat Bay. However, since there is little current, bacteria stays longer. Other beaches in the state that were found potentially unsafe for swimming at least twice last year included those in Brick, Harvey Cedars (Bay Front), Sea Girt, Wildwood, Surf City, Belmar, Long Branch, Somers Point, Seaside Park, Upper Township, Highlands Borough, Neptune, North Wildwood, Sea Bright, Sea Isle City, Wildwood Crest and Cape May. “Everyone is enjoying the beaches this summer so far, but there is always a threat to the shore. The threat is water pollution. Stormwater runoff and sewage end up in our bays and ocean, closing beaches for sometimes days at a time,” New Jersey Sierra Club Director Jeff Tittel said. He added, “this report once again is a wake-up call that New Jersey needs to do more to protect our coast and bays from chronic pollution, runoff from fertilizers and septics, and old leaky sewer pipes. As temperatures rise and water infrastructure gets older, we’ll see more closed beaches.” Brick Township Mayor John G. Ducey said, “we must all be aware that, while beautiful, our Barnegat Bay presents

unique water quality challenges which require understanding of the implications of fertilizer use and waste management on storm water runoff.” Ducey added, “we applaud and will continue to work with our local and regional non-profit partners to educate property owners on ways we can improve water quality. At the same time, we call on our federal partners to fully fund water quality improvement initiatives.” Britta Wenzel, who serves as the executive director of Save Barnegat Bay said, “water quality is critical to the Jersey Shore. Barnegat Bay is an estuary, a combination of fresh water from rivers and salty ocean waters combining. Protecting Barnegat Bay begins in the Pinelands or the headwaters of all rivers, and in our neighboring cities to the north, as pollution from CSOs travel south in our ocean waters and reach the beaches at the shore. “We are all connected through water. We must support major investments in water infrastructure improvements if we want to keep our memories alive and our shore economy intact. Swimming, fishing, boating, crabbing, rentals, restaurants and so much more, relies on safe, clean water. Every dollar counts when we invest in water quality, we see the return directly in our local and state economy,” she added. Surfrider Foundation Mid Atlantic Regional Manager John Weber said, “the ocean beaches are mostly free of problems but it is the bayside beaches where we see high numbers more frequently.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Know The Timeline Of COVID Tests They say we “shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth,” and that’s generally good advice. However, those free COVID tests at Rite-Aid on Mule Road in Toms River bear some serious, serious scrutiny. They are “free” of charge, yes, but certainly not “free” of unnecessary stress and inconvenience. Note: It’s not the testing, itself, which is the issue but the total confusion about how long it will take for results to return is the issue. The test, itself, was easy and quite well organized. I share the following experiences via your paper to hopefully help anyone else who is or will be in my situation to know what to expect. Last Wednesday, I was due to have cataract surgery via Dr. Lakhani of Toms River who, by the way is an absolutely genius of a doctor. Anyway, by law I had to be COVID tested three days in advance so I went Sunday after church to Rite-Aid. After being told all along that Results would be available in “2-5” days or “2-7” days (“but most often two days or less”), I went ahead, but my results were not in by 11 a.m. Tuesday, 48 hours after the test. I called Rite-Aid back and for the first time it was clarified to me that it was two BUSINESS days, which meant the earliest I’d be eligible to get results was Wednesday morning (the surgery was slated for Wednesday afternoon, at noonish.) See, I learned that the hours after my test on Sunday did not count now, because Sunday is not a business day. Would have been nice to know that at the outset! I called the lab who processes the results and they could not confirm that RiteAid even sent them (more on that later.) Rite-Aid, of course, insisted that the results were, indeed, sent to the Lab (there in New York
State.) Wednesday morning still brought no results, and RiteAid then changed the goal posts and explained that the usual waiting time was now “2-10” days. I forfeited my surgery for Wednesday but thankfully, Dr. Lakhani re-scheduled me for Friday. On Thursday, STILL no results by noon and I called the lab again. Long story short, they blamed Rite-Aid for not leveling with me in the first place about how long this might take (so do I.) I called Rite-Aid again and one of the people who work there actually suggested that the lab was extra long getting results to me because I might have COVID and they’re re-testing the sample to make sure before they inform me! Friday morning I finally got the results. I was negative for COVID (whew) and Doc Lakhani worked his wonders on me again that afternoon (he did my right eye in 2016, this time he did my left eye.) Thank you, Rite-Aid, for the free COVID tests but a little more honesty and specificity about how long it might possibly take to get results would be very, very helpful to customers lined up for surgery. I used to run a business in North Jersey, and when I gave my customers something that was “free” I endeavored to make the gift “hassle-free,” as well as “free” from a financial standpoint. It’s best to under-promise and over-deliver, not the other way around! I know that COVID testing is a relatively new thing and you’re inexperienced at it, but these principles of how to do business the right way are ancient and are still necessary, here in 2020. Yes, most often we shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth but if it leaves a bad taste in OUR mouths, well.... Chet Jelinski Whiting
Trump Lies To Fox News Finally, even Fox News has started calling Trump out on his lies. In that Chris Wallace interview, you should try to watch it, it’s all over the web. The first thing the president lies about is that more testing equals more cases. Here, I’m not sure he realizes he’s lying or if he just doesn’t understand how this works. Maybe at one point, more testing equaled more cases. Because you can’t get a positive unless you test, right? But that’s not why it’s going up right now. It’s going up because certain states are reopening and people aren’t wearing masks there. As Wallace says, testing has gone up 37 percent, but infections have gone up 194 percent. Then (Trump) says some of them aren’t even cases. He says they are just sniffles. So, does he think doctors are lying? 75,000 new cases a day and 1,000 people dying a day. These are facts. All of the European Union has 6,000 cases right now, and Trump thinks it’s because they don’t test. Now, I could see China or Russia lying about their numbers, but England? Spain? Italy? Every country in the European Union is lying, or is Trump lying? He then claimed that Dr. Fauci told him that COVID-19 would pass. When did Fauci ever say this? Trump said this over and over again. He said
Letters To The EditorHealth Insurance it’ll go away in the summer. Schools Not The heat will kill it. We’ll have a few cases and then it’ll blow over. Trump said this. I’ve never heard Dr. Fauci say anything like that. The fact that Trump said Fauci is “a little alarmist” and then says that Fauci told him it will blow over – what should we believe? He’s contradicting himself in the same breath. Then he threatened to pull federal funding if schools don’t open. He said New Jersey only had 1 death under 18. That’s because the schools were closed! He said that Biden wants to defund the police. Then they tried to look through the Biden platform and couldn’t find it. In fact, the Biden literature said more funding for police. Trump just never expected anyone to fact check him. Then when it comes to the military wanting to rename bases that were named after Confederate generals, Trump says “I don’t care what the military says. I do – I’m supposed to make the decision.” And if it wasn’t enough that he was degrading the military, he then degraded teachers, saying they teach kids to hate America. When Chris Wallace asked him where he sees that, Trump says “I look at the stuff.” The fact that he called Fox News – which has backed him every step of the way – Fake News explains a lot.

Safe Yet I will not send my son to school for in-person learning. He is supposed to start kindergarten. Schools require kids to be inoculated for various viruses (measles, mumps, etc.) to enroll. However, they can go to school while we’re in the middle of a highly contagious viral pandemic that has no vaccine or proven treatment plan and I’m supposed to feel OK sending my kid to school? Nope.

“Wake Up, White America!” As a white man living in Ocean County, I feel that I have to take the responsibility to educate myself to better understand the Black Lives Matter demonstrations happening across the country and in our own backyards. I recognize my white privilege, and am making it a part of my daily practice to educate other white people to raise their own awareness and become more critically conscious. Most recently, I watched the movie “Just Mercy “ and participated in a webinar hosted by Georgetown University’s Institute of Catholic Social Thought and Public Life. I engaged in an online Zoom discussion with the Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation committee with St. Francis Of Assisi Parish of LBI. We had a dialogue about the role Catholics can take to fight racism. The reminder I took away was that I need to be more present and willing to be vulnerable. I’m taking one step at a time to move towards liberation. I’m doing my part to educate myself and other white people in my daily activities and strongly encourage others to do the same.

Companies Should Not Be Taxed
As a representative of the state’s health insurance brokers, I want to voice my strong opposition against a Senate bill that calls for a 2.75% state tax on fully-insured health insurance premiums for health benefits plans, MEWAs and dental and vision coverage in New Jersey. The bill, (S-2676), would add yet another tax on the average New Jersey citizens. Now, during this unprecedented public health emergency and deep economic disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, this proposal is unconscionable and unacceptable. New Jerseyans deserve affordable and more accessible health insurance, not another barrier to care for their employees and families. The New Jersey Association of Health Underwriters, of which I am a member, respectfully urges our state legislators to oppose such a harmful bill that would affect millions of people. Some lawmakers contend this bill would somehow make health insurance cheaper for all. Yet in all my years as a health insurance broker in this state, I have never seen how taxing an insurance product magically makes it cheaper. This bill is just another way in which the cost of doing business in New Jersey gets more and more unsustainable, while we see our health coverage become less affordable for both employers and their employees across our state. State lawmakers need to help, not further compound the fi nancial hardships so many of us are already facing. Desmond X. Slattery Spring Lake Legislative Chairman New Jersey Association of Health Underwriters

We can address that with better infrastructure and low impact development techniques.” Report Methodology The data used for New Jersey, and every other state, is the data that states submitted to the national Water Quality Portal. The EPA did not perform the water sampling – whatever data New Jersey submitted for 2019 is what was reviewed. Water quality data presented in the report is not necessarily comparable between beaches or states, as sampling techniques,
The Manchester Times, August 1, 2020, Page 9 reporting practices, frequency of testing and other factors vary by agency and by site. Some beaches, results are reported as a daily summary of multiple individual samples, with the potential to mask certain high bacteria readings. Some beaches are subject to additional testing following rainfall, pollution events like sewage spills, or as follow-up to other tests showing high bacteria counts, creating the potential for those beaches to show a higher percentage of contaminated days than if sampling had occurred at regular intervals. Tests at several beaches were taken more frequently than others, including multiple times per day, or at multiple testing sites. Many beaches are not monitored at all and may present risks that are unaddressed in the report. Residents can view more here: waterquality data.us/portal/

Continued From Page 1 make sure that the police are visible and if there is a problem that the police are aware of it and can handle it,” Palmer said. Mayor Palmer said he had driven around the lake on a recent Saturday night before closing time and was told by an officer that there weren’t any issues all day long but on another day there was. “There was an officer
out there that said there were a few things he had to take care of but for the most part things were better.” “We will continue with that overtime detail to make sure that the lake is going smooth. Before we had the overtime detail, we had some issues with the dock. People weren’t listening about having the proper behavior at the dock or around the dock,” he said. If it gets worse, removing the dock is an option in a worst case scenario.
Palmer said removing the dock was something he didn’t want to have to do because “the kids love it. I know when I was a kid living here, I loved it. For right now we will keep it in there but if it does continue to be a problem, I won’t hesitate to remove it.” Councilman Craig Wallis noted during that same meeting that he had recently attended a community meeting with the mayor, Chief Parker, eight of her officers, Planning Board Mayor Representative Rory Wells, Man-

chester Township High School Principal Dennis Adams and other representatives. “The really good thing was that there was a lot of communication. Mr. Adams did a great job in speaking his mind. It was good to hear from him as well as the mayor, Rory, the chief and captain and our officers there. I appreciate them trying to keep communication open, Wallis added. Councilman Robert Hudak, the council’s liaison with the planning board reported that during a recent Planning Board meeting the panel had approved the applications for the rear addition to the United Church of Christ and a minor subdivision at a property on Ridgeway Road. Hudak added that the board had also reviewed project applications that went on to be voted on and passed by the governing body during its July 13 council meeting. Councilman James Vaccaro said he attended one of the bi-weekly Zoom meeting with Council President Sam Fusaro that is used to prepare the council’s agenda for their meetings. He noted the next Joint Pinelands Municipal Council meeting is scheduled for Sept. 29 in Shamong Township. “In October I will provide everyone a report on what transpired at the Shamong meeting.” The councilman commended his fellow council members for taking action through passing two resolutions urging the legislature to reinstate full funding of the senior fund freeze program and another resolution calling for Gov. Phil Murphy to reinstate the Homestead Rebate program. “Both programs are very important and are vital to our senior residents throughout the state of New Jersey,” Vaccaro said. He also commended resident Joseph Hankins, vice president of the New Jersey Firemen’s Association, who on July 10 provided a Facebook presentation to his fellow firemen about association benefits and what is available for assistance. Vaccaro also once again asked for his fellow council members next to consider discussing and preparing an ordinance banning the growth of marijuana within Manchester Township and banning the distribution of recreational marijuana within the township. The councilman has made this same request for close to a year now. The issue is set to go before voters on a public question in November’s general election.

Push For Homeless Shelter Continues
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – A local councilman is renewing his plea to have a homeless shelter built in Ocean County. Currently, the county places the homeless in temporary housing. This solves the short term problem of shelter, but not the root cause of homelessness, Councilman Terrance Turnbach said. While in these motels, they continue to have access to drugs and alcohol; any behavioral issues are not checked. “If we do not address the underlying issues causing an individual to be homeless, we are akin to hamsters running on a wheel. It is time to admit that providing money for people to stay in motels is not a plan that will meaningfully address chronic homelessness,” he said. Toms River opened Riverwood Park Recreation Center off Whitesville Road for Code Blue during nights in the winter. This is a statewide regulation that opens shelters when the temperature reaches freezing. It is run by the nonprofit Just Believe, Inc. According to their figures, there were 193 different people who stayed in the Toms River shelter overnight last winter. During the winter of 2018-2019, that number was 178. These figures do not include those who stayed in other places that were open for Code Blue. Based on these numbers alone, Turnbach said the county’s plan is not working. “Respectfully we must reset our approach to addressing homelessness. The end goal cannot be providing temporary shelter. The end goal must be transitioning individuals into permanent housing,” he said. A shelter would provide people with not only a roof over their heads, but supervision and services that address the reasons that they are homeless in the first place.
Shelter Location Part of the problem with homeless shelters is that people don’t want them in their back

yard. The site would also need to be near jobs and public transportation, which means it wouldn’t be hidden away. Turnbach said the ideal location for a transitional housing facility would be where a shut down hotel presently is. The Parkway Motel, formerly the Americana, is located at 925 Route 166. It is near the intersection of Route 9 and Route 37. When inspectors came in 2019, they found parts of the ceiling missing, mold, electrical hazards, and trash littering the property. The building was deemed unlivable. Despite being unlivable, there were 18 people living there at the time. Most of them had jobs but couldn’t afford a safe place to live on minimum wage jobs, especially while paying $250 a week (and in some cases more) to live in substandard housing. The neighboring Hana restaurant is also shut down and for sale, and the combination of both properties would be ideal, he said. It’s within walking distance of a grocery store, a pharmacy, and other social services. And since it’s in a commercial zone, not a residential zone, there are fewer neighbors to say “not in my back yard.” Cost There’s a cost in taking care of people. Turnbach pointed to studies that showed that it’s cheaper to provide transitional housing programs rather than Band-aid measures. He had spoken with the county to establish a Homelessness Trust Fund, but the county disagrees with this. It would set aside money funded by a fee of a few dollars spent by people filing documents with the county. Currently, the Code Blue shelter is run by volunteers, but they are not the only ones. A network of religious and social services groups are in constant contact with each other and the homeless and food insecure people in the area. One of them, he said, is even in the process of acquiring a grant to buy the Parkway Motel property.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Fulfill Expands Thanks To Trucking Company Donations
By Bob Vosseller NEPTUNE – Fullfill, formerly know and the Food Bank of Ocean and Monmouth counties now has more space at its main facility. Twenty-two parking spaces and an extension of Fulfill’s driveway were added to the south side of Fulfill’s Distribution Center in the township recently. This expansion has allowed for more room for trucks to make food deliveries. The materials and labor donated are estimated at $100,000. This comes at a particularly important time given the increased purchasing Fulfill has had to do since the start of the pandemic to meet the ever-growing demand for food.
“Fulfill is a savior to those who are food insecure at the Jersey Shore, and the COVID-19 crisis is putting an increased stress on its resources. We wanted to make an impact during these unprecedented challenges, and we feel there is no greater way than helping to feed families in need in our community. The $50,000 donation equals 150,000 meals for children, families, seniors, and veterans in Monmouth and Ocean Counties – and that is making a real difference,” Earle President Thomas J. Earle said. Earle announced a surprise $50,000 donation to Fulfill during a ribbon cutting ceremony in Fulfill’s parking lot. The funds will be used to support Fulfill’s COVID-19 response.
Jewish Federation Of Ocean County Supports Police, First Responders
By Bob Vosseller LAKEWOOD – Members of the Jewish Federation of Ocean County are continuing their program of support and appreciation of first responders. This program of sending messages of support has come from arranging “feel good” food deliveries to local police departments. Federation member Sharron Greenberg said that “in Ocean County, they have been great partners to the Jewish community in addressing our security concerns and combating hate and anti-Semitism. Thank you!” “The police department’s chose their
preferred treats. Al’s Pizza delivered to the Toms River department while Lakewood Police requested Jersey Mike’s, and Divi Tree Coffee put together a wonderful display for members of the Brick Police Dept.,” Greenberg added. The Federation is asking that anyone who in need of support or counseling to call them at 732-363-8010. Jewish Federation of Ocean County is hosting Oy Corona! a night of comedy fundraiser for Jewish Family and Children’s Service on Aug.4, at 7:30 p.m. Free registration for the event is available by visiting jewishoceancounty.org/oycorona.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE DWI Campaign Recalls Tragedy Of The Past
By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY − Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer recently announced that the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, in conjunction with the Ocean County Traffic Safety Officer’s Association, is re-launching a Driving While Intoxicated awareness campaign. The campaign was announced on the eve of what would have been the 45th birthday of Kimberly Smith Ames of Beachwood. She was a 23-year-old newlywed, three months pregnant with her fi rst child, when she was tragically killed by a drunk driver on Oct. 7, 1998 in her hometown. In the aftermath of her tragic death, her photo became part a state-wide DWI awareness campaign featuring billboards and signs posted in local stores. Prosecutor Billhimer re-introduced her story to a new generation and new billboards have been created with the blessing of the Smith family. Billboards began being placed throughout Ocean County on July 28. Kimberly’s unborn child would have been 21 years old. “Growing up in Ocean County, I was friends with Kimberly’s older brother and sister. I remember vividly the pain and sorrow her family went through dealing
with the loss of Kimberly and her unborn baby,” Billhimer said. He added, “to this day the family is still grieving. It was my honor to reconnect with the Smith family and to have their full support with the re-launching of this campaign. I hope that people will see Kimberly’s face and think twice about getting behind the wheel when they are impaired.” “Educating new drivers and the general public about the dangers of impaired driving is always a priority. Enforcement is a priority as well and my office will continue to work with our local law enforcement partners to focus on targeted enforcement to prevent impaired driving,” Prosecutor Billhimer added. The Ocean County Traffic Safety Officer’s Association presents the Kimberly Smith Ames DWI Prevention Award every year to a police officer that proactively enforces DWI laws in Ocean County. This award’s purpose is to bring public awareness of the commitment and determination of police officers within Ocean County concerning the education and prevention of Driving While Intoxicated offenses and acknowledging officers who have demonstrated such commitment.

What to Expect after a Total Knee Replacement A Physical Therapy Perspective By: Joel Maietta, DPT, Wall Facility Manager
DOES THE IDEA OF A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT SCARE YOU? While the thought of having a total knee replacement sounds daunting and arduous, there are many misconceptions regarding rehabilitation following the surgery. Often people run (not literally) from the idea of having this surgery because they hear horror stories of painful therapy sessions and a long grueling recovery period. However, with proper education, motivation, and the guidance of a skilled rehabilitation team, recovery should be nothing to worry about. WHY DO PEOPLE NEED TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENTS? The primary reason people require a total knee replacement is to rid their knee of a painful condition called Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis develops when the
process begins right away in the hospital following surgery when a skilled physical therapist begins showing you the proper technique for getting out of bed, getting up from chairs, and even walking with the use of a walker! Many are surprised that these once painful activities now feel easier and more comfortable! Once the medical staff and rehabilitation team determine you can move around safely and have proper support at home you will be discharged from the hospital. Most people only end up staying in the hospital for a few days. In some cases additional medical monitoring is needed and you may be placed in a rehabilitation hospital in which you will receive guided Physical and Occupational Therapy while under the supervision of doctors and nurses. This stay usually lasts a few days to a week and then you are allowed to return to your household. Once you have made it back to your home your doctor may or may not request a therapist visit your home for a few days to continue with exercises and assist with daily activity training. Following a few home therapy sessions your doctor will direct you to begin Outpatient Physical Therapy at a facility of your choice. HOW DO I CHOOSE WHERE TO GO FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY FOLLOWING A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT?
smooth cartilage that cushions your joint starts to break down resulting in stiffness, pain, and that “grinding” sensation you feel in your knee. Unfortunately, our bodies are unable to reproduce adequate cartilage to repair the lost cushioning. As a result, a surgeon must often times perform surgery to replace these painful joint surfaces with artificial materials. This allows for the return of smooth, pain-free motion in your knee. WHAT DOES REHABILITATION CONSIST OF AFTER A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT? The key to a successful recovery is early exercise and activity to facilitate the healing process and prevent stiffness in the knee. Our bodies are amazing healers and immediately start repairing following the surgery with the production of scar tissue. However, movement directs the alignment of this new scar tissue, so the earlier and more often you begin moving, the easier your recovery will be! Therefore, the rehabilitation
When choosing a facility for this phase of rehabilitation it is important to research your options by talking to doctors and previous patients to find the place that is right for you. Outpatient Physical Therapy is your final step to a full recovery and also the longest step. That being said it is important to find a place where you feel safe, comfortable, and where all your goals and needs will be heard and attended to. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WITH MY OUTPATIENT REHABILITATION FOLLOWING A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT? You will be spending 2-3 days a week in physical therapy for sessions lasting around one hour, however it is expected that you perform home exercises daily because the time spent in therapy alone is not enough for a full and functional recovery. In the facility, a skilled Physical Therapist will work with you to further improve your ability to straighten and bend your knee as well as progress the strength of your whole leg. The greatest gift therapists have is our hands and we have been educated and trained
on specific techniques to improve the mobility of your knee to allow you to move with the least amount of pain possible. Once your mobility and strength start to improve, other activities are included to improve your ability to walk without any assistive devices as well as exercises to allow you to walk up and down stairs. Most people are able to walk without a cane or walker as early as 4-6 weeks after their surgery! Your Therapist will also discuss any additional goals you may have including returning to activities such as golf, tennis, and swimming. These are all realistic goals which can be attained with proper guidance by your Therapist. At All-Care Physical Therapy we specialize in innovative approaches to make your recovery from a Total Knee Replacement as painless and enjoyable as possible. Our friendly staff and skilled therapists will attend to your every need and get you back to your life, so fear not the dreaded Total Knee Replacement!

Hearing Help During Pandemic Times
In my opinion, the effects of Covid-19 will remain in effect for at least the next 6 months and more than likely will linger into 2021. I strongly believe there will be several viable vaccines as well as therapeutics by the end of this year. In the meantime, it’s very important to wear a mask when social distancing is not an option. Always carry “hand sanitizer” with you! When you decide to visit your hearing healthcare professional, make sure they have procedures in place in line with CDC recommendations. For example, in my practice, we take everyone’s temperature and have them complete a covid-19 questionnaire. Secondly, we limit only two patients in our waiting room at the same time. Third, we allow more time between patients to disinfect all areas. Fourth, we have each patient leave our office from a different location. As a general rule, we are allowing at least an extra 15-30 minutes per patient. What this should mean is that you’re hearing care professional should be spending more time with you at each appointment. Equally important, if you’re not comfortable entering our offices, we offer
curbside services for folks who just have a hearing aid problem. We would disinfect the hearing instrument, fix it, and return it to you while you wait in your car. If we have to send the hearing aid back for repair, we can provide you with a loaner hearing instrument. Finally, as we remain stuck in our homes, we realize how important it is to hear clearly. Don’t hesitate to have your hearing tested and if you’re wearing a hearing aid, it should cost nothing for us to clean and adjust them. Please be careful when removing your mask while wearing your hearing aids. Many folks have lost their hearing instruments because of the mask. Ask your hearing care professional to add a “sports lock” to the receiver wires and/or consider custom micromolds. In addition, we have “ear savers” that will attach to most masks that will help prevent LOSS of the hearing aid when removing your mask. Dr. Izzy is always available to answer all of your important questions about most hearing care issues. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or visit us at www.Gardenstatehearing.com. Our offices are in Toms River, Manahawkin, and Whiting.

The Best Tips To Avoid Insect Stings By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Nothing can ruin a perfectly nice picnic or hike like an insect sting! It could lead to local discomfort, swelling, redness and pain. In fact, it could cause an anaphylactic reaction to those people who are truly allergic to an insect’s venom. It’s not easy to train yourself to ignore them. It’s more likely you’ll make sudden movements and wave your arms or swat the air. I totally get it. Today’s article is to help you avoid a sting. Don’t wear red! Red can appear to be very dark or black, a color bees and wasps associate with a predator, so they will go on the defensive and get angered. If you wear bright colored clothes, you could easily be mistaken for a flower. In fact, do not wear a flowery shirt because they’ll have to get up close to you to see that you’re not actually a plant! I think you’re best bet is to wear neutral earth tones that make you blend in with the flora and fauna, such as beige, khaki, maroon, black or grey. Here are some of the best tips to avoid getting stung by an insect: • Avoid fruit-flavored lip gloss, shampoo or soap. • Don’t walk up to their nest, they will defend it with their life! • Do not wear perfume or perfumed deodorants. • Do not use scented shampoo, conditioner or lotion. • Dispose of soft drink cans and bottles because they attract bees. It’s sort of like sugar-water, and they love it!
• Bugs are partial to beer! Make sure you keep an eye out so one doesn’t crawl into your beer for a sip, and then you drink a mouthful! • Make sure you’re clean. Some insects get ‘angry’ if they smell sweat. • Wear long sleeves and long pants to cover as much as possible. • Avoid bananas, this might attract bees because they think you’re food! • Watch out if you are near discarded food or dog feces. Wasps have a keen sense of smell and detest wormwood, peppermint, spearmint, eucalyptus and thyme. If you wanted to dab yourself with these essential oils, it might deter them from coming too close. For that matter, you could plant these in your garden to act as a natural insect repellant. If you get stung, move away to safety quickly. Don’t worry about getting the stinger out in that moment, just get away. Bees can only sting a person once, but it will release a chemical that attracts other bees in the area. Wasps can sting repeatedly so if you get bit, run away from the space as quickly as possible. Bees will leave the stinger in the skin, but wasps don’t usually do that. It’s best to scrape the stinger away from you with a credit card, or a letter opener or something like that versus a tweezer which might squeeze more venom into you. Usually hydrocortisone cream, calamine lotion or aloe helps with immediate fi rst aid, however, some people need an antihistamine or numbing agent.

Fulfill Responds To Increased Needs Due To COVID-19
By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY – Lines of cars to receive food served to remind members of the shore area’s leading food distribution agency that the current COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause tough times for those in the shore area. Cars lined up at Fulfill’s main distribution center in Neptune and were recorded as being
more than a mile and a half long on July 2. People waited in their cars for hours to receive a Fourth of July holiday meal for their families and an emergency food kit which serves a family of four for four days. The food distribution, “makes it a little bit easier for me. My kids want to have a barbeque. The lady at the pantry told me to come here because they were handing out
packages. It makes it a little easier, because I’m out of work right now. It helps,” said Robert Jenkins, a father Fulfill representatives spoke to from Brick Township as he waited on the line. Food items distributed included ground beef, hot dogs, rolls, watermelon, corn, chips, mustard, ketchup, baked beans, chips, and soda for an Independence Day barbeque.
The “Pop Your Trunk Fourth of July Drive Thru Food Distribution” held by Fulfill served about 40,000 meals during the twoday event. The first day was held at Fulfill’s People’s Pantry at the B.E.A.T. Center in Toms River. Fulfill CEO and President Kim Guadagno, the former Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey said “one thing we saw is that the Jersey Shore is as needy as every place else, not only in New Jersey, but across America.” She added, “you saw lines every bit as bad as you saw in the Mid-West and throughout the country to receive a few meals. And we also found that some of these people were living in their cars… and if that doesn’t make you cry, I don’t know what will.” Toms River resident Tony Torrez said the group’s food assistance was incredibly kind as he waited in his car. “It’s some great help especially in this pandemic. There are families that are struggling, so Fulfill is a great amount of hope.” Bonnie McHale of the Lanoka Harbor section of Lacey also had a story to tell. She was at Fulfill’s People’s Pantry at The B.E.A.T. Center in Toms River. Her husband is bedridden, and she is unable to work because she is taking care of him. “This help today from Fulfill is a blessing. If I can get this little bit of food, then I don’t have to spend money on food. It helps me to pay my taxes and other bills. It’s hard with all the medical things that we’re dealing with,” Bonnie McHale said. When bright spot for Fulfill and those they serve has been the Food for Friends program at Stop & Shop. Food for Friends COVID-19 RELIEF has been very beneficial for the organization. Through this program, Stop & Shop has raised $39,000 for Fulfill to help it with its mission of feeding those in need. Guadagno said, “the success of Stop & Shop’s Food for Friends Program will provide 117,000 meals to people in need in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.” “During a time when Fulfill needs help more than ever - with a 40% spike in the demand for food since the pandemic hit - we truly appreciate the support! Thank you to Stop & Shop, and of course, our sincerest appreciation to all of its customers for donating to Fulfill during this crisis,” Guadagno added. Stop & Shop’s 30th annual Food for Friends campaign raised more than $1.3 million to support the COVID-19 response efforts of food banks in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The Food for Friends campaign is an annual summer donation program where customers at Stop & Shop stores are able to donate at checkout to support hunger relief, by rounding up to the nearest dollar and donating the difference. Stop & Shop President Gordon Reid said, “we’re very grateful for the overwhelming generosity of our customers to help us support our food bank partners in their important work to provide food to individuals and families during this pandemic.” “The response from our customers shows that any size contribution can add up to make a meaningful impact in our communities,” Reid added.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Commercial Rent Payments And The Coronavirus By: Marc S. Galella, Esq.and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Many commercial tenants are asking whether they are excused from making rent payments if the tenant’s business has been impacted or shut down by as a result of the coronavirus. In particular, they are asking whether a force majeure clause often found in commercial leases, excuses the tenant from having to pay rent. A force majeure clause in commercial leases generally relieve the performance of a party because of an unforeseeable circumstance beyond the control of the parties to the lease which causes a party not to be able to perform under the lease. The term “force majeure” usually means an event that could not have been reasonably anticipated, or which, if anticipated, could not be controlled. Force majeure clauses are added to leases to excuse a party’s performance under the lease in cases of natural disasters or “acts of God,” such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, etc. The answer to this question depends on the terms of the commercial lease. Does the lease contain a force majeure clause? If so, does the clause specifically address the issue as to the payment of rent. In many, if not most, force majeure clauses the obligation to pay rent is not forgiven in the case of an event that is beyond the control of the parties. Thus, the commercial lease must be reviewed to see whether it contains a force majeure clause and what is excused or not excused under that clause. New Jersey courts have traditionally
Robert C. Shea Esq.
Marc S. Galella Esq.
been very reluctant to allow force majeure clauses to excuse the perfor mance of one party to a commercial lease and especially to excuse the payment of rent under the lease. Courts look to see whether the event should have been anticipated by the parties and addressed in the lease. Not all unforeseen events are subject to the force majeure clause. The lease would need to be reviewed as to whether the shutdown of a business by the government is an event that is covered by the force majeure clause. In addition, the coronavirus may not be considered an “act of God” if a court determines if it should have been foreseen in the drafting of the lease. As you can see, there is no definite answer to the question of whether a force majeure clause excuse the non-payment of rent by a tenant. Tenants and landlords should consult with their attorneys to review their commercial leases and determine whether the lease contains a force majeure clause and, if so, whether the force majeure excuses the payment of rent by the tenant. If the payment of rent is excused, what are the terms for the non-payment of rent? Please note that the discussion above pertains only to commercial leases. Force majeure clauses are not typically found in residential leases.

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Fullfill, formerly known and the Food Bank of Ocean and Monmouth counties received a special donation recently. The Toms River Business Improvement District and the Ocean County Vintage Car Club collaborated to host a food drive for Fulfill’s Distribution Center at the B.E.A.T Center in Toms River. Around 20 antique cars paraded up to the facility with their trunks popped and engines revving, ready to donate the
much-needed food. Twelve volunteers helped unload these donations into the Fulfill warehouse. This collaboration was especially successful on the first night, having collected more than 440 pounds of food that amounted to 372 meals. They plan to do this a number of times for Fulfill throughout the summer. Fulfill Chief Executive Officer and President Kim Guadagno, the former Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey noted that “the Jersey Shore is as needy as every place else, not only in New Jersey, but across America.”

Ocean County Woman Charged With Child Pornograpy By Bob Vosseller POINT PLEASANT – A borough woman was arrested on charges of possession of child pornography and narcotics. Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer announced on July 24 that Lisa Cuervo, 24, of Point Pleasant, has been charged with possession of child pornography This investigation was the result of a referral from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children through the New Jersey State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. Cuervo was identified as a suspect in Point Pleasant as possessing child pornography. Detectives from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Unit and Point Pleasant Borough Police Department executed a search warrant on July 24 to the woman’s borough residence. They seized a smart phone belonging to her which contained child pornography. Also seized by Detectives during the course of executing the search warrant
was 17 marijuana plants and assorted drug paraphernalia. Cuervo was additionally charged with manufacturing more than 10 but less than 50 marijuana plants. Cuervo was also charged with endangering the welfare of a child based upon the fact that her minor child living in the residence had access to the illegal plants and drug paraphernalia. She was processed at the Point Pleasant Borough Police Department and transported to the Ocean County Jail where she is currently lodged pending a detention hearing. Prosecutor Billhimer acknowledged the assistance of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Unit, Point Pleasant Borough Police Department, New Jersey State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, and National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, for their collaborative assistance in this investigation leading to Cuervo’s arrest.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Looking Toward Shore’s Past, Future Hurricanes
By Patricia A. Miller OCEAN COUNTY − The ominous weather reports before Hurricane Sandy hit just before Halloween in October 2012 were not anything you’d want to hear. Neither were the police officers driving down our street warning us to leave before noon the following Monday. We had to sign paperwork that Friday night acknowledging that if we did not leave, the township was not responsible for anything that happened to us or to our home. We signed. We had never been ordered to leave our Bayville neighborhood before. We left. In the end, we couldn’t return home for seven months, until the house was repaired. Sandy was within 50 miles of the New Jersey coast before it hit in Brigantine as an extratropical cyclone. The storm peppered the Jersey Shore with hurricane-force winds, record low pressure, and a huge storm surge along the coast. “The storm becomes the worst hurricane to affect the state on record, killing 37 and causing nearly $30 billion in damages,” according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). “Widespread devastation is noted, particularly on Long Beach Island and the Barnegat Peninsula, where the Seaside Heights boardwalk collapses into the ocean.” Sandy took the most lives, compared to a storm in August 1806 storm, which killed 21 residents. Governor Chris Christie said the losses caused by Sandy were “going to be almost incalculable...The devastation on the Jersey Shore is probably going to be the worst we’ve ever seen.” [3] And unfortunately, it looks like 2020 will be also be an active hurricane season. This year, again there will not be an El Nino to suppress Atlantic hurricane activity either, says NOAA. “NOAA’s analysis of current and seasonal atmospheric conditions reveals a recipe for an active Atlantic hurricane season this year,” said Neil Jacobs, acting NOAA administrator. “Our skilled forecasters, coupled with upgrades to our computer models and observing technologies, will provide accurate and timely forecasts to protect life and property.” The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June 1st to Nov. 30. New Jersey’s tropical storm activity occurs between August and
late October. Sandy pummeled New Jersey on Oct. 30, 2012. Warmer than usual sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, reduced vertical wind shear, weaker tropical Atlantic trade winds and an enhanced west African monsoon season all increase the chances of an above-normal 2020 hurricane season. A hurricane is a huge storm that can be up to 600 miles across and have strong winds spiraling inward and upward at speeds of 75 to 200 mph. They can be life-threatening as well as cause serious property-threatening hazards such as flooding, storm surge, high winds and tornadoes. So what were some of the worst hurricanes and storms to batter the Jersey Shore? The Perfect Storm - Oct. 31, 1991 - The 1991 Halloween Nor’easter brought massive waves of up to 30 feet. High tides along the Jersey Shore were only surpassed by those of the 1944 hurricane. Significant bay flooding occurred. Strong waves and intense winds caused extreme beach erosion. In all, damage amounted to $90 million (1991 USD), though no deaths occurred in the state. The Great Atlantic Hurricane - September 1944 - Destroyed hundreds of homes, did major damage to Long Beach Island, Ocean City, Atlantic City and Cape May. Bridges in some towns were destroyed. Hurricane Donna - September 1960 - The nor’easter brought 100 mph winds and 5 to 6 inches of rain in New Jersey. Nine people died in the state. The name “Donna” will never be used again for a hurricane because of the severity of the storm. The hurricane produced 105 mph (169 km/h) wind gusts and a storm surge of 6 feet (2 m) near Atlantic City, and 8.99 in (228 mm) of rainfall near Hammonton,.[26][37] One person died related to a heart attack during the storm.[1] The Storm of March 1962 - Also known as the Great Storm of the Jersey Shore and the Ash Wednesday Storm. The late James J. Mancini - longtime mayor of Long Beach Township for decades and an Ocean County Freeholder - considered the March 1962 storm the worst on Long Beach Island. Six hundred homes on Long Beach Island were lost. Seven people died, including Long Beach Township Police Chief Angelo J. Leonetti, Township Police Commissioner Kenneth G. Chipman, First Aider Robert Osborn and two elderly couples.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Patients Ask Doctors. Doctors Ask Dr. Hussain By Michael Vandenberg Most of the time, getting treatment is simple. Something hurts or you feel ill, so you go to the doctor. He or she describes what the problem is and then gives you advice or medication. But sometimes answers aren’t so simple. That’s when rheumatologists like Dr. Shahzad Hussain step in. With his innate ability to read between the lines, along with years of education and first-hand experience, Dr. Hussain stands ready to solve the problem and make a difference. The challenging nature of rheumatology is part of what originally appealed to him back in residency. It was a field where he could do more than write prescriptions; he really wanted to get to know his patients, and that comes with the territory when you’re asking them a lot of questions for a diagnosis and treatment. So he did fellowships in both rheumatology and immunology, making his level of knowledge on the former’s top villains (like lupus) among the highest. He happened to finish his residency in San Francisco at the same time and city as Dr. Usmani, who would go on to start his own practice in Lakewood in 1999. Meanwhile, Dr. Hussain had gone home to care for his ailing brother. A few months went by, and Dr. Usmani started to get busy and looked to hire a partner. He heard about Dr. Hussain and gave him a call. “It would be at least another six months before I can come back,” Dr. Hussain warned
him. “No problem, I can wait,” Dr. Usmani said. They eventually joined forces and ran a highly successful practice until early 2018, when they decided to merge with Garden State Medical Center. There were two major benefits to joining GSMC. For one thing, everything is electronic here for easy access: data, records, and charts are all in one place. That means they can spend less time doing paperwork and more time getting you better. Second, they could team up with Dr. Dharam Mann and his gifted team of pain management specialists. The idea of having everything under one roof was huge to Dr. Hussain. Before the merger, “I’d see a patient here, and then I’d say, ‘Okay go get pain management forty miles away.’” Sometimes this would result in a disconnect in treatment strategy, or patients understandably didn’t want to do all that traveling. But now he’ll come to a diagnosis and say, for example, “Dr. Jani is next door. I know him, I’ll talk to him.” All of his notes are right on the database,
along with Dr. Jani’s, so they can easily coordinate the best way to care for you. “I’ll send them and in the next few days they are being seen,” by one of the pain management specialists. No more bouncing around for a month just to go from diag-
nosis to treatment. With the full force of GSMC behind him, Dr. Hussain has pulled off some great feats. “It’s very gratifying in this field when you see patients doing well, because these diseases are hard to treat,” he pointed out. One woman had rashes head to toe and had been to five or six other rheumatologists before Dr. Hussain. She had only recently been diagnosed with skin lupus, but treatment wasn’t working. The key would be to figure out anything besides the lupus that might be triggering the rashes. Sun exposure was an obvious cause, but Dr. Hussain was able to lean heavily on his
allergy training in immunology to dig deeper on things like perfumes and shampoos. After six months of careful consideration and communication with the patient, they were able to get the rashes down to 10 percent of their former surface area. A great improvement, but not perfect. Dr. Hussain found a new infusion that had just been approved by the FDA. The only problem: it cost $20,000 every four weeks. His office fought hard for the patient to get it approved with her insurance, and then they began treatment. In three months, there was not one spot left on her body. “She literally sat and cried and cried and said, ‘Oh my God, I’ve lived with this for so long. I thought I was go-
ing to die with this.’ So now she’s still rash-free. She’s in complete remission,” and only has to take one medication per day. Rashes aren’t the only thing Dr. Hussain treats either. Rheumatology can concern all of the major bodily systems in one way or another. Regardless of what you’re feeling, he is prepared to talk to you and give you a hand. Feel free to schedule an appointment with Dr. Hussain today at 1100 NJ Route 70, Entrance A in Whiting or 2333 Whitehorse Mercerville Road in Hamilton by calling 1-888-376-2661.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of aug 1 - aug 7
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take the high road even if it seems simpler to do otherwise. Good karma is always welcome, and when you maintain your integrity, you earn not only self-respect but also respect from others. Play the long game. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You might encounter mistakes or become involved in disputes. These problems will be more easily resolved with a “give them the benefit of the doubt� attitude. In the upcoming week you can learn something that will be helpful and uplifting. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A boost in your thinking processes adds fuel to the fire of your enthusiasm. You might be prompted to act quickly, but if you wait until the second half of the week to put plans in motion, the results will be better. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t rush ahead without forethought, whether you’re driving on the roads or challenged to a debate. Avoid confrontations and focus on achieving a compromise whenever there is a disagreement in the upcoming week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Keep your credit card on ice until you really need it. It is possible you want something for the wrong reasons. Later this week you may have the unique opportunity to take charge or make major advances at work. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone could be overeager to jump into action and get you involved. Today isn’t a good time to launch a new enterprise, but if you clear up any misunderstand-
ings, there could be an excellent opportunity for success later this week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Someone’s brashness or tendency to jump the gun could feel wrong. Don’t let a misunderstanding interfere with your desire to reach long-term goals or disturb the tranquility of a relationship this week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some chemistry is romantic, but when the wrong energies come in contact, there could be an unpleasant reaction. Hold off on initiating new relationships and wait until later in the week to make crucial decisions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Someone close may get burned from playing with fire. Meddling with controversial subjects might leave you vulnerable to a misunderstanding. Later this week you can make wiser and more profitable decisions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Pursuing goals early in the week ahead may start to seem futile. You may think you’re making progress but could end up back where you started. Wait until later in the week to launch important plans. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Combine astute observations of how things really are with dreams of how you’d like things to be. Wait until the middle of the week, when the timing is better, to put inspired plans into motion with a partner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t make any financial commitments or romantic promises until all the pros and cons are weighed on the scales of common sense. The second part of the week will offer better opportunities for lasting success.
