Dear Joel
─Photo by Bob Vosseller The problem area of the well-used intersection of Commonwealth and Northampton boulevards were discussed in length by the mayor, council and residents following a report by the township police department’s traffic safety officer. By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Earlier this year resident Shawn Galbreath started a petition to address a problem that has existed for years. The intersection of Commonwealth Boulevard and Northampton Boulevard has been a magnet for accidents. He and other residents wanted to see this situation change.
“They (town and county officials) obviously know it’s an issue since rumble strips, f lashing lights and flashing stop signs are already installed. It’s time something is done before someone else is seriously hurt or dies,” Galbreath said. His solution was to add a traffic light. “If a traffic light was installed most of these
accidents would stop!” Galbreath said in a prior interview with The Manchester Times that the intersection has presented a safety problem since the 1950s. “I went to school in Manchester and back then it was a problem. It was a problem way before 20 years ago. I moved out of the area for a while but came back five years ago.
There seems to be a bad accident there just about every week.” Mayor Ken net h Palmer agreed with Galbreath that the issue needed attention. The mayor lives near the intersection in the Pine Lake Park section of town. Galbreath noted at the time that “there are really three bad areas (Police - See Page 4)

COVID Caused Changes In Hospital Operations
By Bob Vosseller N EW J ER SEY – Howell resident Nicole Jackson serves as the Interim Director of Patient Care at Community Medical Center in Toms River. She is another front-line fighter in the continuing war on the coronavirus. She told this newspaper about how medical professionals have had
to change operations at work – and how they had to change their habits at home – in the wake of COVID-19. In her hospital role she oversees the workflow and what the nurses do. Also, she makes sure that procedures are being followed, and helps make new policies as more information about the virus emerges. That
includes all the new rules that came about since the pandemic conditions began back in March. “We had to adjust everything. The way we triage patients coming into the hospital and the way we treated patients while they were in the hospital. Even how we were around each other. We had to constantly
watch each other and keep ourselves safe,” she said. Jackson noted, “we had to protect ourselves and our families when we went home. Everything changed in a matter of a week or so. We knew we had to change things and we started to think about what we could change to make it a better experience
for everybody coming in: nurses, staff, family members. When you work in the ER it is like the front line of care.” She said triaging began right from the front door. “Once the virus really hit, we weren’t doing elective surgeries and not doing a lot of stuff in the main hospital where a lot of (COVID - See Page 6)

Manchester Adopts 2020 Municipal Budget
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Township officials unanimously voted to adopt its 2020 municipal budget recently. Taxpayers on average will see a $38 tax increase in the municipal portion of their tax bill. “It is not a monumental tax raise but it is an increase from what we have seen in the last four years. The prior average home value prior to the tax assessment was $166,000 now the average home in the township is $198,000,” Mayor Kenneth Palmer said. Mayor Palmer followed up presented a full breakdown of this year’s spending plan with a PowerPoint presentation. He had given an overview during a meeting last month. (Budget - See Page 14)
Local Woman Knows The Importance Of Organ Donations By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Township resident Justine Applegate was among three transplant recipients announced as winners of the 2020-21 higher education scholarships through the Jessica Beth Schwartz Memorial Scholarship program. The scholarship program is funded through the Transplant Foundation, the charitable foundation which supports the mission of Gift of Life Donor Program which is the non-profit, federally-designated organ procurement organization. At just 12 years old Applegate’s active lifestyle was abruptly changed when she was diagnosed with Primary Pulmonary Hypertension. Her disease steadily progressed, and when she was 15, she discovered she would need a double lung transplant to survive. (Organs - See Page 15)

Continued From Page 1 in the town when it comes to accidents, Broadway, First Avenue and this intersection. There have been plenty of times that I have taken that intersection and it is hard to see with the way the homes are situated. It is a hard intersection to turn on and many drivers are just moving too fast and I guess are trying to get home quicker.” Mayor Palmer said the township had petitioned the county in the past, about four years ago and (the county) felt the traffic there did not justify a light at the intersection. “That’s when the county installed the rumble strips and the flashing stop signs.” More recently Manchester petitioned the county again with updated traffic information and accident related information. During a recent Manchester Council meeting Patrolman Ian Bole who has served as part of the police department’s traffic safety unit for six years gave an extensive report to the governing body and the public. The officer noted that both roadways have county jurisdiction and that the department performed its own study regarding the general conditions of the intersection. “We had a lot of reports of accidents for issues of people disregarding the stop signs, traffic violations, traffic backed up. We knew the warrants required to get a traffic light would not apply because the traffic volume is too low,” he said. “The next best thing they suggested was the potential of a four way stop sign and the best answer to that would be is that it
is problematic. What we have in that area is bus traffic. We have older drivers and we have crash data that suggested that over 24 months we had roughly 24 crashes,” Bole said. “That it averages a crash per month. We’ve had one fatal crash in the last two years now,” he said. Bole said adding that the contributing factor to those accidents were “most of the crashes are driver inattention and disregarding the stop sign. These are all choices the drivers make.” “You have more crashes there on Route 37 and that is a controlled intersection of traffic,” the officer said. He described what is called the side angle, “which is what you see both to your left and your right at the intersection.” One side is obstructed a bit by branches, he said. The county had said it was adequate but he did not agree. The more open the view is, the safer it is. Bole did not like the idea of the four way stop “because people will try to avoid them. People have anxiety. People have confusion and people pull out into the intersection and you have four cars pulling up at the same time at a four way stop sign. People don’t know when to go. You could have increased areas of road rage. You could have issues with accidents and what we had in one month we could have most likely several if not more.” The officer warned there could be accidents in other areas where traffic would be diverted away from the intersection should the four way stop scenario be put in place.
He further recommended that the township’s Department of Public Works trim back the foliage in the area. Trimming back the trees and foliage would allow further visibility for drivers looking to the right to see the flashing stop sign. “This should give drivers more time to exercise control once they see the stop sign and it would address any depth perception problem. We can reassess this in six months and see what we have,” Bole said. The officer said that suggestions of speed
humps would not be feasible given the speed limit of that area. They can also cause vehicle damage. Lowering the speed limit is also not an option as the township has no authority to lower it on a county road. Assistant Business Administrator James Gant noted that the county mentioned restriking the rumble strips that were present there. Council President Sam Fusaro said he’d like to see Bole’s recommendation followed through. “Let’s try this first.”

COVID:
Continued From Page 1 procedures and outpatient testing was done. That all stopped.” “They had to change how they did everything. I’ve worked in a hospital for 25 years. Every time I went up to the IC (intensive care) with a patient I was taken aback. I was so impressed by them. The job they were doing and what they were doing to make ever ybody safer,” Jackson said. Jackson said additions like plastic partitions and temporary walls in the ER were put up. “They stopped visitors coming in but we did let certain family members come in. Those end of life patients and some children patients.” “We had a tent up for a while to test (people) first before they could come into the emergency room. When things started to settle down we took the tent down,” Jackson said, noting the rapidly changing information each day. “It was a constant changing of what we were supposed to do and should be doing. It got scary a lot of times. We didn’t know. None of us had ever worked through a pandemic. “It was new ground for all of us. It was completely different than any of us had ever seen. We have gone back to a lot of our normal operating procedures but there is always that underlining COVID. I think the only thing we have known the whole time is that we don’t know anything,” Jackson said.
The Manchester Times, September 19, 2020, Page 7 Jackson said the situation, much like the virus, kept evolving. “Every day you are waiting to hear the governor’s press conference and you would listen to hear what the task force and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) was saying and what our corporate was saying and now you are waiting for the next surge.” “If this happens again, what will happen? We haven’t gotten through the first wave. The only thing I can confidentially say that now that we’ve gone through it we know what we need to do. You do what you have to do and we did what we had to do,” Jackson added. Her own homelife routine - like most everyone - saw its share of disruption. “When this all started I worked nights and I have two children, 12 and 16. They are a bit older so it was okay in that one day schools were normal and the next day there was talk of closing and the next thing they were closed.” “I ended up going to day shift because they needed leadership on day shift when I was the assistant director at night at the time. I switched to days to help for a while.” She added, “the world stopped. I went from being a single mom who worked a few nights a week with two kids that are active in baseball and dance to working five days a week with nothing to do in the other time. We had a whole decontamination process when I came home. You don’t want to bring anything into the house.” Jackson explained the process say-
ing, “they would have a towel ready for me at the back door and we had a little room so I could undress and then shower before I’d see anybody. I had a backup plan if I ever got sick. I wasn’t going to come home to them. I would stay at the hospital. Thankfully I never did.” “We spent a lot more time together which was nice. We didn’t get to see the extended family much. Now things are getting back to normal a little bit but for how long, who knows?” she added. Being a mom of two teens and a new school year having begun in Howell through a hybrid model of live instruction and remote learning, Jackson said she understood the challenges her community’s school district has. She said, “if you look at the transmission rates of children, they are not so high but the bigger picture is who are they in school with and who do they go home to?” “I honestly feel having worked with this for the last several months that they do need to go back and be somewhat socialized. The social isolation is not great for them but I am definitely onboard with it being half a day, definitely part remotely,” she said. Her high school age son who plays football and attends the Freehold Regional High School District at Freehold Township High School is starting off entirely through remote learning. “I think they will do what’s best and I think it will be constantly changing,”

Jackson said noting that anything could happen and that both her children could return to a remote-only option should a new surge occur or that when certain health and safety conditions were met in Freehold, that her son could return to some live instruction. The hospital staff are f lexible, too. They can get the screening tent back up in front of the emergency room lobby within an hour if the conditions warranted it. Items like that were labeled and put aside “and is here when we need it. I don’t think any of us feel that this has gone away or it is gone.” Eve n w it h t he eve nt of va cci ne s becoming available in the months to come, she u nderstands some of the trepidation people may have to taking them. “Who wants to be the guinea pig? There might be a lot of volunteers but who knows. I think this is a new normal now we will have to get used to.” She added that those working in the medical community, “are just as scared as they (the public) are but this is my job. It is what I signed up for. When you hear people say ‘Is this real? Is this really happening?’ I say there is nothing fake about it. It is happening.” “We saw the sick people. We saw the people die. There were people who were not sick at all that had it and that is the other misconception, there a lot of people who aren’t even sick who have it which is why it is so important that they stay safe and do what they are supposed to do,” Jackson added.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Closing Schools For COVID In the first few weeks of the school year, we’re already seeing positive cases of COVID-19. That’s not really a surprise. You put a bunch of people together, and you’re bound to have some test positive. It’s the law of averages. It’s important to note that any kid who tested positive in the first week of school probably didn’t catch it from school. They probably caught it during the last hurrahs of summer. Labor Day weekend, with all its parties and barbecues, happened right before all the kids went back. As of this writing, there were people who tested positive at Griebling School in Howell, Jackson Memorial High School, and Southern Regional in Stafford. Just because there was one or more positives doesn’t mean the entire school is infected, and a positive test isn’t a death sentence, but it does present challenges for the school districts. Every district has put in place policies on how to handle this inevitability. Griebling closed for two days to be cleaned. At the high schools, close contacts to the patient were notified. They had to do their own contact tracing. Policies seem to change depending on the age of the student body. This is not something that came with the coronavirus. This has been going on for years. Recently, a student was diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease in Central Regional. It was later determined that the student likely caught it while traveling. If it had been caught in school, the school might have been shut down. Legionnaires isn’t even contagious person-to-person like COVID-19 is. A few years back, Lakehurst Elementary School had to close down due to mold. Pinelands had to shut down when they found asbestos while doing renovations. If you close the school for snow, some parents are going to be mad at you and some parents will be glad. All it takes is for a car to slip
on snow and hit a kid walking to school – or standing at a bus stop. Similarly, all it takes is for one kid to bring the virus to school. What would happen if the district allows students into school, and then a preschool class gets exposed? Or a special needs class? Or a regular education class with special needs kids mainstreamed into it? A lot of readers have been critical of the school districts closing. They think that we should just go back to normal. I was going to say that this is the new normal. But that’s not exactly true. There really never was a normal. The idea that there are mostly healthy families and everyone is doing what they’re supposed to do – that’s a lie. Everyone makes mistakes. No one is perfect. Therefore, you have to institute policy expecting the worst possible scenario. Hope for the best; prepare for the worst. That’s what the school districts are doing. What the general public needs to understand is that there are a lot of people who would be considered at risk. Teachers might have babies at home, or might be pregnant, or have an elderly parent living with them. A 12-year-old kid could be healthy enough to get through having the virus, but not his 2-year-old baby brother. Kids with asthma are considered at risk, and there are plenty of kids like that. Also, every doctor I’ve talked to have told me how the coronavirus can lead to long-standing changes in the body, and that even if you don’t die from coronavirus itself, you might die from one of the changes. Besides all this, the districts have to operate according to state law. The state doesn’t want sick kids in school, either. Schools should protect those who are among its most fragile, which is what they’ve been doing. Chris Lundy News Editor
Letters To The Editor Reopen The State Already
On March 9, the Governor Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency. A day later, schools and universities began closing, switching classes online. March 10, the first person in NJ apparently died from COVID-19. The statewide curfew began March 16. All casinos, gyms, and movie theaters were closed - restaurants and bars were only allowed to remain open for delivery and takeout. On March 21, Governor Mur phy announced a statewide stay-at-home order, requiring that all non-essential businesses be closed indefinitely by 9 p.m. that day! Today it’s been 159 days! 159 days, 22 weeks and 5 days... that we as Americans of the free world have been held hostage! I personally have always been about protecting the most vulnerable, doing my part but enough is enough - the curve has been flattened and we must demand to re-open our state! We must support our small businesses! We must fight as patriots! It’s We The People not what some dictator wannabe says! Enough is ENOUGH! Ralph Adorno Barnegat

Richter’s Links To Biden The best that the Republican party can find has links to Joe Biden? Unbelievable. David Richter, who is running for office for Congress (in District 3), hired Biden’s brother James at his company, Hill International. Richter was the president and COO of Hill International at this time. When Richter was president of the company, James Biden was executive vice president. This was recently, as recent as 2010. The next year, Hill International coincidentally gets $1.5 billion in contracts from a South Korean real estate developer to build 100,000 homes in Iraq for the Iraqi government. They needed governmental approvals to build it, and I’m sure James Biden helped grease the wheels. Do you really think Richter is going to stand up to Biden and the Democrats? No way. The better choice for 3rd District is Marty Weber. He’s a veteran. He’s a business owner. He lives in Barnegat. He’s one of us. Brian Scott Barnegat
COVID Vaccine Must Be Affordable For All Like all of you, I am anxiously waiting for a vaccine for COVID-19. This is deep-
is 94. She lives in a 3-tiered retirement facility in Ocean County. I have not touched her, held her hand, or given her a hug since mid-March. For the first months of lockdown, I FaceTimed with her every day while she stayed in her apartment 24/7. Now, once a week, I make her a bag of goodies - books, movies, produce, and flowers from my garden. She uses her walker and sits on a bench outside her building. I wear my mask, put her treats on her walker and talk to her from the street. My mom is a very positive person but this has been hard for both of us and there is no end in sight until there’s a vaccine that makes contact safe for people at high risk of infection like my mom. It is our government’s responsibility to guarantee that everyone in the United States, no matter where they live, what they look like, or how much money they have, can afford the medicines they need to stay healthy and take care of their families. When a vaccine is finally approved, Congress needs to pass legislation to ensure it is affordable to ever yone; we cannot allow drug corporations to price-gouge solutions to this pandemic. Our tax dollars fund this research and development and our insurance premiums will pay the cost.
seniors, and those with pre-existing conditions who face the greatest risk must be prioritized, and the vaccine must be available and affordable to everyone. Congress must make decisions based on public health and science, not politics and profits, and they need to make those decisions now. Lynda Fote Toms River
We Need Alternative To Route 9
This letter is in reference to “DOT: Widening Parts Of Rt. 9 Too Expensive,” which ran originally in the Toms River Times on Aug. 8. If widening Route 9 is too expensive, the State of New Jersey should look into building another road or a beltway. This is Route 9 that goes from Maine to Florida. When it passes through Lakewood it is a two-lane rural road. It looks like developers deliberately built right up to the curb in order to prevent modern road building in the hopes of selling their development to the State to widen the road for a profit. Robert Moses in New York tore down whole neighborhoods to build roads. We really don’t want that, do we? Carol Landrigan Lakewood

Shelter For Homeless Vets Coming To Tinton Falls From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith TINTON FALLS − Rep. Chris Smith (D-4th), who worked with local officials for a decade to bring a modern housing project and services to homeless veterans, was one of the guest speakers at a groundbreaking for the innovative housing complex in Monmouth County. Smith said Monmouth County Freeholder Lillian Burry was “the quarterback” in the effort to see the project through to fruition. “I have been proud to do my part in finding a Monmouth County home for Soldier On, and I promise you I will continue to be an active supporter as it moves from design through construction to the day that it opens its doors and welcomes its very first veteran home,” Burry said. Said Smith, “I am especially grateful to Freeholder Lillian Burry for her extraordinary dream of a creating a Monmouth County homeless veterans housing initiative, and for her tenacity and skill in making it happen. For nearly a decade, Lillian has been the quarterback in the push to meet the compelling housing and service needs of homeless veterans - and there have been many setbacks along the way, including an inability to secure space at Fort Monmouth.”
“According to the VA, in 2001 there were 294,840 homeless veterans on any given night,” said Smith, whose landmark 2001 law for homeless veterans first authorized funding for the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development-Veteran Affairs Supported Housing (HUD-VASH) program. “Shocked and deeply concerned, I chaired a series of congressional hearings on how to help homeless vets, and wrote the historic Homeless Veterans Comprehensive Assistance Act of 2001, (Public Law 10795). Almost 20 years later, that number has dropped to 37,085. Progress, but still far too many.” Among its many provisions, Smith’s law authorized, for the first time, the HUD-VASH program, which will be tapped as a major source of future rental assistance funding for veterans who will be living at the housing complex. The Gordon H. Mansfield Veterans Village in Tinton Falls will be run by the non-profit organization Soldier On, and will consist of a four-story building with apartments that will be available to veterans at a range of low and moderate income levels. About 50 people attended the groundbreaking ceremony held at Monmouth County Liberty Park just north of the 12-acre project site located on Essex Road in Tinton Falls Borough. About $8 million in federal funding will help pay for construction. The (Government - See Page 10)

remaining costs will be financed by the developer and the NJ Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency. “Today construction begins on Soldier On and WinnDevelopment’s $23 million, 70 one-bedroom housing units,” Smith said. “Thank you Tinton Falls for welcoming the project.”
Smith praised Soldier On’s leaders, President Jack Downing and CEO Bruce Buckley, for their tireless efforts to help vets who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. “Soldier On - thanks Jack Downing and Bruce Buckley - has created world-class home ownership opportunities coupled with vital services for homeless veterans, and the impact has been enormous and life changing,” Smith said. “For the first time in years - even decades - many veterans will finally have a
decent place to live and hope and prosper.” Smith, who served as the two-time Chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee and has authored 14 laws to help veterans, has worked closely with the Freeholders and Soldier On since 2011 to bring veteran services, including the critical housing project, to New Jersey. Smith supported funds through the Veteran Administration’s (VA) Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) grant program. Over the past eight

years, Soldier On has received $31 million from the VA’s SSVF grants program for New Jersey, serving thousands of veterans by not only helping provide a roof over their heads and food to eat, but also critical tools to break the cycle of homelessness, such as job training, substance abuse services and mental health counseling. Smith helped Solider On first come to New Jersey in 2011, assisting the Massachusetts-based organization to obtain a $1 million VA SSVF grant in 2012 to help veterans in his district in Monmouth, Ocean and Burlington counties, plus Middlesex and parts of Mercer. That work later expanding to serve nine counties, adding all of Mercer, Somerset, Bergen, Hudson and Essex. Today it also manages similar veteran housing operations in New York and Massachusetts, providing 177 homes, with another 152 in various stages of development. Smith wrote to VA Secretary Eric Shinseki in February 2012 about the grants and housing project seeking VA support. Smith announced the first grants in in 2012 and 2013 and fought for funding in 2015. Smith also sent letters of support for Soldier On to Gov. Christie and Lt. Gov. Oliver and the NJ Housing and Mortgage Financing Agency in 2017. In 2020, he led a bipartisan letter supporting $47 million for the HUD-VASH program. “This has not been my effort alone. Like most worthwhile undertakings, it has had strong hands and hearts moving it forward,” Burry said, who thanked everyone who contributed at the state, county and local levels of government, plus private citizens and Soldier On.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE County Stresses Importance Of Census 2020 Response
By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – County Officials are continuing to promote response for the 2020 Census and during a recent status report Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari reminded residents there were only days left to respond. Vicari thanked all the members of the county’s Complete Count Committee for their commitment to get everyone counted. “While we have exceeded the 2010 Census response rate, we still need to continue this current effort until the end of September. I want to thank the members of the Complete Count Committee for their participation in doing outreach and promoting the importance of the Census. I am proud to work with each and every one of you,” Vicari said. By September 30, the Census Bureau will be wrapping up operations. “I cannot stress enough how important it is for all of us to be a part of this secure and confidential process,” Vicari said. He added, “if you want day care for your children, well maintained infrastructures, a clean environment, good schools, senior assistance, and the list goes on, it all goes back to being counted in the Census.” Vicari said, “we don’t have a lot of time left but it’s still enough time for people to do the right thing and fill out the forms.” For more than a year now the County has been promoting activities related to Census 2020 beginning with its formation of the 2020 Complete Count Committee. This committee is made up of representatives from towns, non-profits and other organizations tasked with getting the word out. Ocean County promoted increased participation efforts which included municipal and organizational outreach, social media, websites, and public events throughout the County such as a Census Billboard truck, a Census enumeration event at the Blue Claws stadium that drew thousands
Commercial
of residents, and even a free ice cream distribution event. Ocean County has been putting Census outreach grant funds from the state to good use by supporting local food drives, such as Meals on Wheels, Jersey Cares, summer school lunch programs, Ocean County Health Department health clinics and COVID testing, by providing tote bags for the food and Census educational items, and arranging for Census enumerators to assist residents with the Census forms onsite. The Ocean County Library system has been distributing Questionnaire Assistance Centers for those who do not have access to the internet, or need assistance with completing the Census form. The library branches have trained staff to assist with completing the 2020 Census on designated laptops or on the paper questionnaire. Ryan Edwards, Partnership Specialist for the 2020 Census, New Jersey Field Division said, “I want to congratulate Ocean County and their partners on beating their 2010 self-response rate of 63.5 percent.” “This was our goal from day one to make sure we increased our self-response rate and even in spite of COVID-19 we accomplished that goal. As of today (Sept. 8) Ocean County self-respond rate is at 65 percent,” Edwards said. He noted that in addition to self-response the Census is conducting non-response follow up to any household that has not responded yet. More than 68 percent of the non-response follow-up workload had been completed by September 7 in the Toms River Census office area. Census takers also follow up with households that have already responded to improve and ensure accuracy of the census. This is done by both in person visits and outbound phone calls. If anyone is unsure of the Census representative or want to verify their information you can (Census - See Page 13)

Census:
Continued From Page 12 call the local New York City office at 212-584-3400. “The Census is also attending community events to help enumerate residents on the spot,” Edwards said. “If there are events being planned, the Census staff is available to attend.” Census data affects the allocation of more than $45 billion, or about $5,160 per New Jersey resident, in annual federal funding. Communities receive funds annually for programs and services relating to health, education, housing, infrastructure and much more based on Census data. These programs are critical for a community’s most vulnerable members including young children, aging adults, people with disabilities and illnesses and more. The recent $106 million federal CARES Act aid package to fight the COVID-19 crisis and the Superstorm Sandy Disaster Recovery Grants received by Ocean County are two examples of the kind of federal programs that can be impacted by the Census. Vicari noted that “if states and communities are not fully counted, it could cost
them political influence and power as well as money and other resources. New Jersey could lose a member of Congress. Giving up political power could mean losing out on access to all kinds of resources – without a chance to fi x the problem for 10 years.” He added everyone living in the United States has the right to be counted in the 2020 Census and the data is all strictly confidential. “Every part of the Census, from enumeration to the Census data itself, is protected by Federal Law under Title 13.” Vicari said, “information on the census questionnaire cannot be used for any other purpose or shared with any other institutions or agencies. “If you haven’t filled out your Census yet, it’s important that you do so right now,” Vicari stressed. Those who have not completed their Census can still self-respond by going to my2020census.gov, calling the hotline in English at 844-330-2020 or Spanish at 844-468-2020. The Census also just sent out a final paper questionnaire to any household that has yet to respond. The fi nal day to respond is September 30 by any form.

The mayor said this year’s approximately $37 million budget went up by around $1.3 million from 2019 and there were three factors that caused that increase. The first was the township’s new emergency medical service which started in March and represented a $1,050,000 increase by way of salary and operating expenses. “We hired 22 new full-time employees to the tune of $900,000,â€? Palmer said. “This year we will generate more than $900,000 in revenue from the EMS. We expect next year to have additional revenues which will offset some of the new line items we had this year,â€? the mayor said. Palmer also spoke about accumulated leave. With recent police negotiations, within the next three to six years, a number of “rank and file police oďŹƒcers as well as our sergeants up - a large chunk of those employees will be retired. Along with them they get 183 days-worth of pay in what it is called terminal pay.â€? Terminal pay was negotiated into their contracts years ago and is basically unused sick time that the oďŹƒcers accumulated. “It is going to cost the township a significant amount of dollars when they retire,â€? Palmer said. He added, the township was beginning to save for that situation. “This year we are putting $250,000 aside and each of the coming years we hope to do the same if not more. It is three to four million dollars-worth of time that will be paid out. We have to start putting money toward those payments,â€? the mayor said. Palmer said a land sale that occurred in 2019 for a county park provided the township $1.4 million. “We don’t have that next year so that is a hit to our general operating revenue that we can’t count on.â€? The township’s capital fund last year went down to $150,000. “We had some unspent reserve money for that but this year, we dropped it down $75,000,â€? the mayor added. COVID related expenses were a new item in the budget. “Since we are doing the budget so late, we are able to add that into the budget. That is about $322,000.â€? Palmer noted previously that the township
will not be “getting to some of the paving and some of the capital improvements that we typically do.� The local tax levy is $21,902,071 which is an increase of $1,174,334 from last year. The reduction in the municipal rate went from .623 in 2019 and .5225 this year. The 2019-year end surplus was $6.9 million. The surplus used towards budget is $4 million. Major expenses included $466,000 for professionals in 2020 which is up from $456,000 in 2019. Debt service went down in 2020 to $1,981,794 from $1,991,957 last year. Social Security expenses went from $1,325,000 this year from $1,450,000 in 2019. Palmer’s presentation also showed the township’s levy cap bank rainy day fund had totaled at $3.114 million. In the township’s east and west utilities account the eastern side sewer total budget was $4,330,000 marking an increase of $5,000. The eastern side water had a total budget $2,600,000. Last year it had $2,550,000. Capital improvements are $150,000 which includes radium treatment and test wells. Future projects include an elevated water tower which is in progress and an interconnect with Lakehurst. The western side for water has a total budget of $2,800,000 which has a flat budget. The western side sewer has a total budget of $2,535,000 with a decreased budget of $127,000. This year’s tax rate has a breakdown that includes the municipal portion as 24% of the bill, school taxes being the largest portion at 56% and county tax being about 20%. “Most of the budget really stayed the same from the previous year outside those three issues I mentioned,� the mayor said. “Salaries are about 45% of the budget. It went up by one percent.� “Debt stayed the same, operating expenses stayed the same and our insurance went down since we made the switch from a group plan to a private carrier to the state health plan,� Palmer said adding that township employees contribute more than they did previously.

Continued From Page 1 Six months later, in February 2012, her life was transformed when she received the life-saving gift of a double lung transplant. Thanks to her transplant, she was able to graduate from high school and begin college. Unfortunately, shortly after starting at Montclair State University, her health took a turn for the worse, escalating into in a month-long coma in the fall of 2014. Justine had to relearn how to walk and eat. It was determined that she was rejecting her new lungs. As a result, she would require another double lung transplant. She waited for three long years before she would receive her second double lung transplant in August 2019. “I am now nine months post-transplant and I plan on going back to school for social work and child advocacy,� Applegate said. This fall, she plans on studying at Montclair State University. Since 1974, Gift of Life has coordinated more than 50,000 life-saving organs for transplant, and approximately 1.5 million tissue transplants have resulted from the generosity of donors and their families. Working with 128 acute care hospitals and 15 transplant centers the program serves 11.2 million people in the eastern half of Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Delaware. For a dozen years, Gift of Life has coordinated the most life-saving organs for transplant in the United States. Its annual donation rate ranks among the
highest in the world. Each year, the scholarship program issues $2,500 awards to transplant recipients seeking higher education. The scholarship was created in memory of heart transplant recipient Jessica Beth Schwartz who was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect. Her heart and body began to slow down by the age of 14. Due to someone who said yes to organ donation, Jessica was able to experience eight and a half additional years of life. “Each year I am inspired by the challenging journey these young men and women have experienced at such a young age,� Jessie’s mother and scholarship co-founder, Janice Schwartz-Donahue said. She added, “I am grateful to have the opportunity to continue to honor my daughter’s legacy by helping these students pursue higher education.� A total of 65 students have been awarded scholarships since the fund was created in 2003 in her honor. One organ donor can save the lives of up to eight people, and a tissue donor can improve the lives of more than 75 others. To be eligible for the Jessica Beth Schwartz Memorial Scholarship, students must be an organ or tissue transplant recipient under the age of 25, seniors in high school, or be enrolled in a two or four-year college, university, trade or technical school. Contributions to the Jessica Beth Schwartz Memorial Scholarship Fund can be made along with inquiries about scholarship criteria, by visiting jessiesday.org. For more information on how to donate an organ or to register, visit donors1.org.

There are many confl icting articles focusing on the longevity of hearing aids. In my practice, the average life is between 4-6 years but there are many factors that will impact the lifespan of a hearing aid: How long you wear you’re hearing aids on a daily basis. For example, if you wear your hearing instruments 12 hrs./ day, that equates to 4400 hrs. per year or 20,000 hours over a 5-year period. Frequency of cleaning: We encourage all of our patients to use a soft dry toothbrush to clean the hearing aids on a daily basis. If you fail to do so, the hearing aids will break down frequently. Ask you hearing care professional for AUDIOWIPES as well. Where hearing aids are worn: In general, the ultra-small “custom” hearing aids
have poor reliability statistics and will be replaced 1-2 yrs. sooner than other styles. A person’s body physiology: Many patients create excessive cerumen buildup (wax) and profusely sweat. Sweat creates moisture which commonly invades the circuit and shuts down the hearing aid. An electronic dehumidifier is recommended to dry out the hearing instruments. Frequency of Maintenance: Just like a car needs periodic oil and filter changes, tire rotations, etc. you’re hearing aids should be checked by a hearing healthcare professional at least two times year. If that Practice does not schedule you for these visits in advance, I would go somewhere else. Dr. Izzy and his Staff are always here to answer your questions about hearing care issues.
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

How Grape Juice Helps Heart Disease By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about PVFS (Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome) which is the lingering, intractable fatigue that often plagues victims of viruses for years. It can be caused by the flu, Lyme, Epstein Barr Virus, and as of late, COVID-19 has been found to cause this too. The literature is not calling it by its medical term, they’re referring to it as “Long-haulers syndrome.” This is a post-infectious illness that abates within a few weeks for most people. PVFS has the primary symptom of fatigue, however it is also sometimes accompanied by sleep disturbances too. The exhaustion can be accompanied with other alarming symptoms such as shortness of breath, weakness, a sensation of lightheadedness, dizziness, heart palpitations and mild chest pain associated with exercise. The reason I’m refreshing your memory on PVFS is because I want to contrast that with heart disease, more specifically LVH or Left Ventricular Hypertrophy. The symptoms for this and PVFS look similar and so it is something you need to consider if you have the symptoms above. Left ventricular hypertrophy is not the same as PVFS, even though the symptoms are similar. LVH is an enlargement and thickening (termed hypertrophy) of the interior walls of your heart’s main pumping chamber (left ventricle). LVH is almost always driven by hypertension as its underlying cause. The high pressure in your blood vessels makes the left ventricle of your heart work ridiculously harder, and then the enlargement happens afterwards. A new was published regarding grape juice
and how it could help LVH (and likely high blood pressure). The study entitled, Grape Juice Attenuates Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Dyslipidemic Mice, was done on animals, not people. The researchers took 30 mice and divided them into three different groups of 10 rodents, one of which received grape juice. The researchers carefully evaluated inflammatory cytokine markers like C-reactive protein (CRP), insulin, MMP-2 and MMP-9 as well as blood sugar and other parameters. After 2 months, the animals who received grape juice faired out just as well as rodents who were given the popular statin drug called simvastatin. Their high cholesterol and insulin resistance issues improved too! Further, and this is the best part, the cytokines MMP-2 and MMP-9 (which attacks the brain!) reduced, as did their levels of CRP. This means it has a protective benefit to the heart and blood vessels. Keep in mind this is over 60 days, and it was just grape juice! The grape juice they used was botanically known as Vitis labrusca, or “fox grape” from which Concord grape juice is derived. Jellies are made from this too. We cannot extrapolate that grape juice is a substitute for medications and standard treatment. But drinking a little juice each day is something I recommend due to the potent antioxidant benefits as well as the potential help it offers LVH. Because medications used for LVH often come with uncomfortable side effects, adjunctive foods and supplements can play an important role. Furthermore, as good as the drugs are, they are just blowing the smoke out of the house, they’re not putting the fire out.

Health Department Urges Residents To Get Flu Shot
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER –The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) is urging residents to get a flu shot this year as it may be more important than ever to stop the spread of respiratory illness. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year the flu causes millions of illnesses and
hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations. Preliminary data suggests there were estimated 24,000-62,000 flu deaths for the 2019-20 influenza season in the country. While it remains unclear what will happen in the months to come, when there will be COVID-19 and flu at the same time, it could place a tremendous burden on our health care systems.
That’s why the OCHD is urging everyone to do their part to help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses, like flu and COVID-19. Getting a flu shot, continuing to follow social distancing measures and wearing a mask will help in mitigating the spread of both viruses. County Freeholder Gerry P. Little said,
“the influenza vaccine will not protect against COVID-19, but it does have important benefits.” Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health added that “getting a flu shot can lower your risk of getting sick, being hospitalized or dying from flu. If you’ve never had a flu shot, this is certainly the year to visit one of our clinics and to get one especially with COVID-19 being another potentially deadly respiratory illness.” Getting a flu vaccine is something everyone can do to reduce the impact of flu. It not only will protect yourself and your community, but it will protect the medical providers on the frontlines who will continue to deal with COVID-19. Flu Prevention Tips: • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. • Wear a facial coverings when in the public. • Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub. • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. • Stay home when you are sick. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. • Get a flu shot every year. Important Flu Facts: • All people 6 months of age and older should get vaccinated against seasonal flu every year. • Children younger than 6 months are at high risk of serious flu illness but are too young to be vaccinated. People who care for them should be vaccinated instead. • Vaccination is especially important for pregnant women and people with chronic diseases. • The flu vaccine protects against several different flu viruses (strains). Flu vaccines are updated every year to better match the viruses circulating in the public. • Getting the flu vaccine cannot give you the flu! The vaccine is made with inactive (killed) virus strains which are not infectious. The OCHD just released its 2020 Influenza and Pneumonia Clinic schedule with a full set of dates to be held all over the county in its on-going effort to ensure every segment of our communities are covered. The complete schedule and other requirements can be found at ochd.org.

Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq.and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment. When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy. We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy. The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets. We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/they are injured. The Standard Policy does provide medical
Michael J. Deem, Esq.
expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000.00 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses. When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” By choosing the “ limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates (732-505-1212) for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Older Adults More Vulnerable In Disasters
NEW JERSEY − According to new research from the American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council and the American Academy of Nursing, older adults are more vulnerable and experience more casualties after a natural disaster compared to other age groups. That’s why this National Preparedness Month, the Red Cross encourages everyone, especially older adults, to get ready for emergencies. Being prepared for disasters is important for people of all ages. But there are several factors that make older adults more vulnerable during a natural disaster: Older adults may have more chronic conditions and medication concerns. They may be more dependent on assistive devices like walkers and eyeglasses, and support from caregivers. Living in social isolation can also make them more vulnerable. “We all care deeply about the older adults in our lives, and during the pandemic they are more vulnerable than ever,” said Rosie Taravella, CEO, American Red Cross New Jersey Region. “Now is the time to ask if they need help assessing their needs and making a plan, before an emergency occurs.” Prepare In Advance To be prepared, older adults should think about what they would do during a disaster before it occurs. Understand how your medical, physical and cognitive needs may affect your ability to respond if you had to stay in your home for two weeks or more or had to evacuate. Building a support network and identifying helpers such as family, friends, neighbors, caregivers and care providers who may be able to assist is vital. Older adults should meet with these supporters and decide how to communicate in an emergency. Preparing for emergencies is a little different this year, but the three basic action steps remain the same for everyone: Build a Kit, Make a Plan and Be Informed. Assemble two kits of emergency supplies (a stay-at-home kit and an evacuation kit) and a one-month supply of prescription medication. Include personal hygiene items, cleaning and disinfectant supplies and cloth face coverings. Some supplies may be hard to get due to the pandemic, and availability may worsen in a disaster, so start gathering supplies now. Disasters can force people to leave their homes, even in areas under stay-at-home mandates. By having an emergency plan your family can react quickly if a disaster strikes: • Ask friends or relatives outside your area if you would be able to stay with them. • Check and see if they have any COVID-19 symptoms or have people in their home at higher risk for serious illness. If they do, make other arrangements. • Check with hotels, motels and campgrounds to see if they are open and if pets are allowed. • Due to the pandemic, stay current on advice and restrictions from your state and local public health authorities as it may affect your actions, available resources and shelter facilities. • Learn first aid and CPR skills so you’ll know what to do until emergency help
arrives. • Download the free Red Cross Emergency App for weather alerts and information on what to do before, during and after disasters. Additional resources for preparing during the COVID-19 pandemic are available at redcross.org/coronavirus. Virtual preparedness sessions for all are available online by the Red Cross New Jersey
Region. These free preparedness education sessions are designed to help adults and children understand, prepare for and respond appropriately to disasters big and small. People can learn to Be Red Cross Ready in 45 minutes with sessions available in both English and Spanish languages. Prepare with Pedro is a 30-minute preparedness education program for children ages
five through seven and their parents. While reading a story featuring a penguin named Pedro, children learn how to be better prepared and take action during emergencies. September sessions focus on hurricane preparedness with home fire safety being the focus in October. More information about these free Virtual Preparedness Sessions can be found under About Us at redcross.org/NJ.

Medical Center Providing Free Vascular Screening
By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE − Deborah Heart and Lung Center will hold an annual screening event for Peripheral Arterial Disease, or PAD, in support of vascular health. Peripheral Arterial Disease affects is a common and potentially serious disease that affects approximately 17 million Americans. Arteries in the legs become clogged with fatty cholesterol deposits, reducing blood flow to the legs. Typical symptoms include leg muscle pain and cramping when walking, according to medical officials. However, typical symptoms occur in only about 1/3 of patients with PAD. One third will have atypical symptoms such as heaviness or easy fatigability. Finally, 1/3 of patients, particularly diabetics, will have no symptoms at all. In addition to amputation, patients with PAD are also at much higher risk of heart attack, stroke and death, as opposed to those without PAD. Fortunately, PAD can be treated with lifestyle changes, medication, and non-surgical procedures. However, early diagnosis is key. Risks include: • Smoking, both present and former smokers
• Diabetes • High blood pressure • Abnormal cholesterol levels • African-American ethnicity • Previous heart disease, heart attack, stroke or family history One part of the screening is a painless, noninvasive test that compares the blood pressure in the ankles with the blood pressure in the arms. “PAD is a devastating disease that is often undiagnosed,” says Richard Kovach, MD, Division Director, Interventional Cardiology and Medical Director of the Adult Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory. “It is vitally important for those at risk to get screened for PAD. This screening event increases awareness of PAD and improves our community’s vascular health.” The PAD event will be held at Deborah Heart and Lung Center, 200 Trenton Road, Browns Mills, NJ 08015 on September 26, 2020, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. For more information, or to register for this screening, please call 609/6212080, Option #2, visit demanddeborah.org Masks must be worn, social distancing and other conditions to slow the spread of COVID-19 will be performed.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Plastic Bags Can Be Donated
OCEAN COUNTY − How many plastic bags does it take to make one blanket? For the past three years, Pam Miller, RN, the director of nursing at the Mount Laurel office of Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing Services (PHHC), with headquarters in Eatontown, has been creating blankets for the homeless from plastic bags. Miller cuts plastic strips from the bags, and then crochets the strips into blankets. It takes about 900 bags to make one blanket! Miller is asking everyone to donate clean plastic bags no matter their condition. Drop boxes for the plastic bags are at each of Preferred’s locations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. The New Jersey drop-off sites are in Eatontown, Elmwood Park, Galloway, Jersey City, Mt. Laurel, Neptune, North Brunswick, Robbinsville, South Orange,
and Toms River. Miller is well-known for her dedication and altruism. In 2009, she started and personally funded a sewing project for people in Haiti. When she realized that for religious reasons the women would only wear skirts, she made it possible for women to learn to sew at Penny Miller’s Sewing Academy. For more information about Preferred or donating plastic bags, contact Lisa Gallicchio, director of community relations, at lisa@preferredcares.com or call 732-547-9886. Visit PreferredCares.com for more information.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
We’re Just Friends – That’s It!
Dear Joel, For over thirty years, my husband and I enjoyed the company of a close-knit circle of friends. When he died two years ago, those friends couldn’t have been more supportive and available to me. They continue to include me in their dinner, vacation, and holiday plans. Recently however, one of the husbands has expressed feelings deeper than friendship for me and has even made advances on several occasions. He offers to act as a ‘handyman’ and will show up uninvited at my house to see if anything need fixing. I have rejected all his advances, repeatedly declined his offers for ‘services’ and made it clear that I do not have feelings for him. He’ll stop for a while and then the behaviors return. I have not discussed this with his wife or anyone else from our circle. To be honest, I don’t even know if they would believe me. Do you have any suggestions on how to best handle this situation? Answer: This sounds like you are in a difficult and delicate situation, and I understand you not wanting to discuss this with anyone, people talk. I doubt you want to avoid your friends entirely, but it might be nice for you to establish relationships
outside this circle of friends. Get involved in activities such as volunteering that afford the opportunity to meet new people. When you are with your friends, limit the opportunities to be alone with this man. The next time he shows up at your house unexpectedly, don’t answer the door, or pretend you are on the telephone with someone from the group. The next time he expresses feelings for you, remind him once again that you are not interested. He may not believe you, but it might be time to tell him that you will speak to his wife if it happens again. You could start spending more time with just the ‘girls’, and skip some of the couple outings. If the situation becomes unbearable, then you can either distance yourself from that couple or speak to this wife and hope that your friendship is resilient enough to withstand the truth. Thank you for writing. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 19 - sept 25
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Gratitude time: You will recognize the value of trustworthy relationships in the week to come. You may be stressed by situations outside your control, but you can still remain diplomatic and helpful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You could be windblown or wearing casual sweats and still be awesome. In the week ahead, you might not have the opportunity to strut your stuff as you’d like; people may not be open to it now. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’re brimming with ideas, so try to write them down before you forget them. Some might be worth extra earnings in your pocket. Home and family serenity could be important to your happiness in the upcoming week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): What you ignore might not go away, so discuss a problem with someone close. You may have chances to act in a carefree manner in the week to come, but you shouldn’t overlook daily obligations. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may realize there are ways to achieve your most important financial and material ambitions through hard work. In the upcoming week, something may come to light that upsets people or creates a sense of discomfort. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Put your passion and willpower to work and you can conquer any obstacle. As the week begins, your ability to dominate most situations is strengthened. You may obtain new knowledge that adds to your power. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Management
decisions may arrive in a harsh manner, but you might have a knack for pleasing even the most diďŹƒcult people. Emphasize cooperation and remain uninvolved if quarrels occur as this week unfolds. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): When you are devoted to being a team player, others may feel duty-bound to safeguard your interests, too. In the week ahead, you might find the answers to your questions by studying everything you can find. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your quick thinking may protect you from being a pawn on someone’s chessboard today, but you might not be so lucky later this week. Start a financial plan today, while you have all your ducks in a row. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Master the components of creativity to demonstrate your competence. Your ambitions can be tweaked if you’re offered a powerful incentive. Remain focused on achieving your goals in the upcoming week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Remain poised in case of a change of plans. A loved one may act in unpredictable ways in the week ahead. A philosophical and generous attitude can help, but use logic to deal with personal decisions. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): This can be a good day to settle issues about money or possessions that could cause irritation later. Sympathy alone is unlikely to solve or soothe ongoing problems this week, but a partner might have a viable solution.
