Patriotism On Display In Berkeley Township
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – What does patriotism mean to you? If you were required to answer that on the spot, you might have a bit of trouble. You might know how patriotism feels, but can you put it into words? It might be a challenge. That’s what Emily Strick did. She is a student at Central Regional Middle School. Her essay on the topic “What Does Patriotism Mean To Me?” was chosen as the best one submitted to the Patriot’s Pen essay contest held by Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9503. She read her essay during a recent Township Council meeting, saying that patriotism urges us to be “kind to our fellow men and women.” Her essay talked about those who laid the groundwork of this nation, like George Washington, and pioneers of new frontiers like Neil Armstrong. “We are a divided nation, and never before have we needed patriotism more than today,” she said. Her essay was the standout among 66 entries, said Bill Dondero, Post Commander. Last year, there weren’t any entries. The rise in entries was attributed to Central Regional staff taking the contest to heart and telling students about it, he said. He thanked Principal Joseph Firetto and Assistant Principal Gabrielle Carney, who were in attendance. She earned a $300 scholarship for her win. Now, her essay competes with others. If she wins on the national level, she would win $50,000. One way to demonstrate your patrio-

Warm Weather Sets Record High
By Alyssa Riccardi NEW JERSEY – At the beginning of November, many towns across the state enjoyed some not-so-much fall weather. Sweater weather was nowhere to be seen as the state had a consecutive six days in a row of warm weather reaching 70 degrees or higher. This odd warm weather in the month of November has set records, with this weather being unusual during this time for the state of New Jersey. Rutgers University (Weather - See Page 6)

County Workers Having COVID Leads To Questions About Election Safety
By Chris Lundy TOMS R I V ER – More tha n a dozen county workers tested positive for COVID-19, and officials said that the safety of the em-
ployees have been the utmost priority. Patch.com reported that a person working for the Board of Elections tested positive. More than 250 county
employees sought testing. From that, 16 of them tested positive. However, there is not necessarily a direct link from these 16 to the (County - See Page 4)

sions if they catch the coronavirus. The difference is that with the mail-in election, a few dozen people had to be in one place. There were “40-50-60 extra people a night,” Block said. There were regular employees from the Department of Elections, other county departments to help with the workload, and the National Guard for security. In certain situations, liability comes into play. For example, if an employer willingly exposes their workers to unsafe working conditions, they can be sued. One of the reasons that senior centers have not reopened is because the state is not indemnifying the homeowners associations or holding them harmless. This means that someone who potentially caught COVID-19 at a clubhouse could sue the homeowners association. Similarly, the state did not offer such protections to counties for holding their elections by mail, Block said. However, if it became an issue, there are other legal protections the county can use.

Freeholder Jack Kelly, swearing him in, joked that Signorile might never have a higher percentage of the vote. He earned 99.34 percent. His job, when he runs for re-election next year, is to make up for that missing .66 percent.

Ocean County Administrator Carl Block told The Patch that the 16 people were from different departments, and not all of them were counting votes. Those who tested positive had to quarantine. During a normal election, a voter would go up to a poll worker, take a ticket, and hand the ticket to another poll worker. Then, they would touch the voting booth. This time, polls were only open for those with disabilities and for people to drop off ballots that were already filled out. But scores of people had to come together to count the mail-in votes. It’s hard to say whether one way is safer than another, Block said, responding to questions from JerseyShoreOnline. Most poll workers are seniors, he said.

Robinson discussed how this weather is uncommon for the state. “Temperatures around many parts of the state were 70 degrees or higher. Six consecutive days in November with temperatures above 70, and mind you temperatures this time of the year should be in the mid to upper 50s,” Robinson stated. “Four days of consecutive record highs are also unusual, it’s extremely unusual for a weather station with 110 years of records.” Robinson, who is a New Jersey State Climatologist and a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Geography in the School of Arts and Sciences, further explained why New Jersey has been having contrasting weather this year. “We’ve had a very active weather pattern across the United States for the last month and sometimes the system gets into overdrive or high gear. With that you get a lot of extremes, and the extremes aren’t necessarily just in New Jersey, or the Mid-Atlantic, you find them from coast to coast,” he said. “War m air where warm air shouldn’t be, cold air where cold air shouldn’t be, early season snow, the number of tropical systems that have impacted the gulf states and the east coast, all of those together are indicative of very active weather patterns and stands to reason Jersey is going to feel the effect from time to time. That’s the way the weather patterns operate sometimes.” Robinson further explained how you can’t necessarily pinpoint a specif ic month or week of warm weather that you can attribute to the general question of climate change. “When it comes to the warmth, New Jer sey cont i nues to wa r m a nd t hat
doesn’t mean every day, every month, every year is warmer than the previous one, but your odds increase for setting record highs as opposed to setting record lows,” Robinson said. “For having four days in a row with record highs instead of maybe two days in a row of record highs is increasing our odds. So when we get these warm spells, we’re already on a higher playing level than we were previously so any additional warmth increases the odds of setting a record. So while you can’t say this particular day or this particular week of warmth is due to climate change, you can say it’s indicative of what we’re seeing not only in New Jersey, but throughout the nation and across the globe. “Frankly, it’s becoming less disputable - global warming. The numbers the surveys show, while there’s skeptics that remain out there, it is becoming better understood that we are warming the planet and with that many associated changes,” Robinson said. “The fact is even with a warmer world it’s going to get cold from time to time and sometimes that’s a function of these very active weather patterns where things get displaced. Generally (in October) despite getting cold near the end, it was in the top 20 for warmth going back 126 years. This is statewide, and this year I think we’ve had five months in the top 10, 10 out of 126 years, but we still can have some cold weather and last month when we were moderately warm, they set record low temperatures in the Northern Plains down in the Rockies. There seems to be a seesaw pattern, cold in the west, warm in the east, cold in the east, warm in the west, it all has to do with the f low of the jet stream.” With the recent warm weather the state has been having, it’s questionable whether parts of New Jersey will have a heavy (Weather - See Page 8)

FIXING TWO PROBLEMS WITH ONE LENS
As we age, our eyes’ lenses begin to lose their flexibility, giving rise to “presbyopia” (Greek for “old eye”) and the need for reading glasses. At the same time, eye lenses are also likely to become progressively cloudy, a condition known as “cataracts,” which causes blurry vision. “Lens replacement surgery” (LRS) has been developed so that ophthalmologists can take care of both problems with a single procedure. It involves removing the natural lens and replacing it with a synthetic substitute called an “intraocular” lens. While LRS may be described as cataract surgery, it also serves to correct vision by changing the lens’ focusing ability. The technique can correct eyesight for far- and near-sightedness as well astigmatism. Intraocular lenses come in different focusing powers, just like prescription eyewear or contact lenses. Your ophthalmologist will measure the length of your eye and the curve of your cornea. These measurements are used to set the focusing power of your lenses. When you need the best eye care in the area, look to SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES. Please call 732-349-5622 to schedule an eye exam. For our patients who wear glasses and contacts we offer an array of options, from fashionable eyewear to comfortable contact lenses.

Governor Murphy: Computer Science for All Grant Available
TRENTON – Building on the State’s commitment to establish high-quality computer science programs in New Jersey schools, Governor Phil Murphy announced an $800,000 grant to generate training hubs for educators involved with computer science education in K-12 schools. The “Expanding Access to Computer Science: Professional Learning” grant will
fund learning hubs in three New Jersey colleges and universities, which will work with K-12 school districts to help them implement effective learning strategies in computer science. The learning hubs established in each of the three institutions of higher education will provide professional development to teachers, administrators, and others who are instrumental in com-
puter science education in the K-12 school setting. The programs will focus on schools with students who have traditionally had limited access to high-quality computer science instruction. “In order for New Jersey to be a leader in the innovation economy, we must invest in our educators who do so much to shape our children’s futures,” said Governor Mur-

phy. “Through this grant opportunity, our educators will develop the skills they need to provide top-quality computer science education to prepare our students for jobs of the future.” “When schools have the resources to provide high-quality technology and computer science programs, students benefit in many ways,” said Acting Education Commissioner Angelica Allen-McMillan, Ed.D. “These programs improve the computational thinking and problem-solving skills that are essential for success in all subjects and in all 21st-Century jobs. In short, this helps teachers give students the edge they need for success in school – and after graduation.” The Department of Education is expected to announce the awards around March of 2021, and the programs could be implemented in institutions of higher education as early as the summer. The “Expanding Access to Computer Science: Professional Learning” grant is one element of Governor Murphy’s Computer Science for All State Plan, which sets out a multi-year, multi-pronged vision to broaden computer science opportunities for New Jersey students. According to the Computer Science for All State Plan, more than 500,000 computing jobs remain unfilled in the United States. Nationally, STEM jobs are growing faster than any other job sector in our economy. In New Jersey alone, there are more than 15,000 open computing jobs spanning every industry, with computing occupations boasting a significantly higher average salary ($107,260) than the average salary in the state ($56,970). Despite this, only 1,642 computer science majors graduated from the state’s universities in 2017.
Weather:
Continued From Page 6 snowfall or not this year. In the past couple of years, Ocean and Monmouth County received little to no snow during its winter months. So how much snowfall should we expect this winter? Robinson explained how mild or heavy snowfall depends upon the f low of the jet stream. “Last winter was the least snowy winter since records began in 1895 in Southern New Jersey from roughly Monmouth/ Mercer County. That southern half of the state had less snow last winter than any of the prior years,” Robinson stated. “This winter however, there are indications that this winter will be on the mild to relatively snow-free side. The “La Niña” event in the tropical pacific, an ocean to atmosphere phenomenon, generates the jet stream pattern where storms go up through the Great Lakes and puts us on the milder side of storms. Looking at past records in New Jersey, La Niña winters tend to be milder and less snowy. So the odds favor a winter with milder than average temps and less than average snowfall and that goes Jersey wide.”

Suspect Arrested In Berkeley Stabbing
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – A local man with a string of run-ins with the law was arrested and charged with attempted murder. Angelo Grenci, 44, of Toms River, was charged with the stabbing that took place in the Manitou Park section of the township on November 14. Charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law. Carlton Williams, 50, of Seaside Heights, had been stabbed in the neck and was flown to Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center in New Brunswick where he remains listed in critical condition as of press time. Investigators believe Grenci stabbed Williams during an altercation in the area of Magnolia Avenue at around 7 p.m. on November 14. He was taken into custody at his home without incident. Grenci had once been on an episode of the program “America’s Most Wanted” for an assault that included trying to run someone down with his car. He had also been charged with bank robbery on a separate instance, according to Patch.com. Grenci had tried to be an advocate for trying to turn youth away from a life of crime, and wrote a book about his life called “In Absentia.” However, there were charges for
burglary intermittent with these attempts to steer people toward a better way of life. “Each and every officer and detective involved in this investigation acted quickly and professionally in solving this horrendous crime. Through their tenacity and dedication, a very dangerous individual is now off the streets. As I have stated many times before, senseless acts of violence are not acceptable in any civilized society, and will certainly not be tolerated here in Ocean County,” Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said. Prosecutor Billhimer and Berkeley Police Chief Karin DiMichele acknowledged the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Unit, Ocean County Regional SWAT Team, Berkeley Township Police Department Detective Bureau, Toms River Township Police Department, Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit, Ocean County Department of Corrections, State of New Jersey Department of Corrections, and New Jersey State Parole Board, for their collaborative efforts in connection with this investigation leading to Grenci’s swift apprehension.

Freeholder Director Stresses Importance Of Grant Application For Businesses
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari is encouraging small businesses having difficulty making their commercial rent payments due to the coronavirus to apply for a grant that will assist them with rent/lease payments.
Vicari, who serves as liaison to tourism and business development, reported the grant program provides up to $30,000 for Ocean County businesses. While the program will run to the end of the year, applications will be considered on a first come first served basis.
“Small businesses are truly the heart and soul of our communities. The Ocean County business community has been uniquely impacted by the pandemic since tourism and hospitality represent such a high percentage of its economic activity here,” Vicari said.
MORE CHOICES...MORE INDEPENDENCE LARGE APARTMENTS - SUPPORTIVE AMENITIES - AFFORDABLE PRICE: Spacious, ranch style garden apartments on 55 acre campus with housekeeping, maintenance & parking.
Newly renovated clubhouse, with restaurant, fitness center, pool & activity lounge includes health & wellness program & 24/7 emergency response.
Daily shuttle service to local shopping & other community destinations as well as trips & outings.
THE PEACE OF MIND YOU DESERVE
“Our businesses were hit earliest and hardest by the pandemic,” he said. “Throughout the summer months our business owners found creative ways to keep their businesses open while keeping employees and the public safe.” Ocean County is providing up to $10 million of its Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds to help with those costs in order to provide needed financial relief to small businesses having a hard time paying lease payments or their monthly rent payment., “To further help our small businesses, the County will provide grants up to $30,000 to help defray the cost of rent or leases. This is a grant and not a loan. The grant is paid directly to the landlord,” Vicari said. The NJRA’s statewide business rental assistance grant program, which began earlier this year, resulted in some Ocean County businesses requesting assistance being wait listed. The freeholders agreed to partner with the NJRA to administer the Small Business Lease Emergency Assistance Grant Program solely for Ocean County businesses in order to streamline the grant process. Vicari noted that it was important for small businesses “that this help be made available to them.” He urged Ocean County small businesses or non-profits in Ocean County to apply for the grant as soon as possible.

Better Hearing, Resilience, And You!
Like improved hearing, resilience can make a significant difference in the quality of life – after all, it reflects an invaluable ability to adapt to, recover from, or withstand challenges, change, and adversity. Since March, 2020, we have all experienced what the effects of Covid 19 have had on our overall lifestyle, health, and well-being. Dr. Izzy and his Staff have some tips for building resilience in your life for the present and future: • REMEMBER YOU’RE NOT ALONE: If you’ve felt somewhat disconnected in these times, that’s not uncommon. Challenges such as the pandemic have upended the way we live, work, and play. Newer norms can feel uncomfortable. Drawing strength from the knowledge that others share your experiences can make a difference. • GAIN EMPOWERMENT THROUGH PREPARATION: If you wear hearing technology, it’s probably no surprise that a little maintenance goes a long way toward helping you stay engaged. Regular hearing aid checks & cleanings will increase the reliability of your hearing instruments
and help you feel prepared for anything life brings. • THINK TOTAL WELLNESS: Hearing plays an important role in overall wellness, which in turn plays a role in resilience. Did you know? Ears and eyes work together to help you perceive the world. Conversely, hearing loss is linked to cognitive decline, heart disease, isolation, and other issues, so protect your hearing health. • COMMIT TO LEARNING: Learning not only stimulates the brain but supports resilience. It also supports better hearing, especially when learning more about your existing hearing device’s helpful features and capabilities – streaming, for example = that can help you communicate confidently and navigate your world. • REACH OUT FOR HELP: Expanding and tapping into your network of support can help fortify your resilience. Count on our hearing care team as part of that important connected family network, letting us know how we can help! We HEAR you and we are ALWAYS here for you! 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!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Make More Catalase It’s Good For Your Health
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Catalase is an important enzyme you make in your liver, just like glutathione. These are both strong antioxidants. Today’s focus is on catalase, it’s incredibly important to your health and I hope you are still making enough of it. If you’re not, all kinds of health problems can ensue. That’s because catalase breaks down a poison, turning it into water and oxygen. If you don’t have enough catalase, the poisonous peroxide builds up in your tissues and organs. The thyroid will suffer, as will arteries and all of your organs. One catalase molecule can convert millions of hydrogen peroxide molecules to water and oxygen each second! You could say it prevents “rusting” in a way! Reducing peroxide via catalase is therefore anti-aging, it reduces the speed at which one rusts (or turns grey). We know this because aberrations in the genetic CAT code (think SNP!) will cause the CAT gene to stop producing normal, healthy amounts of the enzyme catalase. This can lead to premature greying of the hair. Catalase is used commercially in the dairy industry to remove peroxide from milk prior to making cheese. It protects garments from peroxide during the fabric making process, especially polyester. Contact lens makers rinse the peroxide off with catalase. In the human body, catalase acts like a vacuum cleaner, similarly to glutathione, another potent antioxidant. It can help with hypertension which is a silent disease that leads to devastating consequences if not controlled. There was an important study about this. Researchers studied one of the most popular blood pressure medications of all time called “lisinopril.” Brand names vary. The researchers evaluated the effect of lisinopril
on cholesterol and blood pressure, because as you know, an increase in either of those raises risk for heart attack and stroke. The researchers determined that lisinopril did not have any impact on lipids or cholesterol, after all it is for hypertension. But the interesting thing is that they noticed a catalase connection. The higher the blood pressure was in a participant, the lower the amount of catalase enzyme present! Lisinopril seems to work, at least in part, by raising your catalase levels, specifically in your red blood cells. This in turn, will improve blood pressure numbers, both systolic and diastolic. This suggests that lisinopril has a secondary mechanism of action… the first being that it’s an ACE inhibitor and the second being it raises RBC (red blood cell) catalase! And would supplements do the same? No one can say and the reason is that the drug is raising endogenous levels of catalase. No supplement was given to these participants and besides, dietary supplements do not cure diseases and no claims can be made in that regard according to current FDA guidelines. I want to be clear in case they read this, I am referring to the catalase enzyme you make inside your body. The information I’m sharing is based upon an article entitled, “Can Erythrocyte Catalase Regulate Blood Pressure?” which was published in 2016. Your body manufactures its own catalase, it’s critical to make more of it by maintaining liver health! This is a potent antioxidant that also destroys formaldehyde too. If this topic interests you, and you would like to read the longer version of my article and learn more about formaldehyde sources, please sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Celebrating Thanksgiving
Dear Joel, This year, because of COVID-19, we’ll be scaling back our Thanksgiving/ Friendsgiving celebration to just immediate family. Rather than trying to recreate our yearly traditions on a smaller scale, I thought it would be fun to change it up and do something completely different. Do you have any ideas how to make Thanksgiving 2020 a memorable one? Answer: Thanksgiving reminds us to be thankful for our blessings, and to help those who are less fortunate. So, it’s the perfect time to support local business and restaurants by ordering their Thanksgiving or other menu items to go. Not only will
you get a break from the stress and anxiety of cooking, your guests will get a delicious, professionally prepared meal and the restaurant will get some much need business during what is sure to be a difficult holiday season. Happy Thanksgiving! 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.

Inside The Law UBER- LYFT Transportation Network Companies
Robert C. Shea Esq.
Over the last few years, Transportation Network Companies such as Uber and Lyft have become the go-to livery service rather than the common taxi driver. Many people use these companies on a daily or weekly basis. But what happens when you are involved in a collision while a passenger in a Lyft or Uber rideshare vehicle? Are you covered? Recently, the New Jersey Legislature defined the scope of mandatory insurance coverage for the transportation network companies and their drivers (such as Uber or Lyft). While an occupant of a prearranged ride, the transportation network company and or the driver shall maintain the following insurance coverage for your benefit: (1) primary automobile liability insurance in the amount of at least $1,500,000 for death, bodily injury, and property damage; and (2) uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage in an amount of at least $1,500,000. This insurance coverage, which is to be maintained by the transportation network company (Uber / Lyft), shall not be dependent upon your automobile insurer first denying a claim, nor shall your automobile insurance policy be required to first deny a claim. This means that the insurance provided by the Transportation Network Companies such as Uber and Lyft is primary. However, the Transportation Network Companies are not required to provide medical coverage in the event you are injured while an occupant of the rideshare vehicle. Moreover, because Uber and Lyft are a form a livery service, the ride share vehicle is not covered under your automobile Personal Injury Protection (PIP) medical expense insurance coverage.

Consequently, unless you have access to health insurance, you will be uninsured for your medical expenses although, if you happen to fall into the uninsured status, you are not without recourse. An uninsured passenger may recover his/her medical expenses from the party who caused the collision. This is a departure from the previous concept of the personal injury protection laws which prohibited recovery of medical expenses from the at-fault driver. Finally, the Limitation on Lawsuit Option which ordinarily restricts an injured motorists’ right to sue for personal injuries, shall not be asserted by a transportation network company or a transportation network company driver in defense to any action for damages arising from a prearranged ride, nor shall it be asserted against any party not receiving personal injury protection benefits in any action for damages arising from a prearranged. This means that your personal injury lawsuit will not be burdened with the requirement that you prove that the collision caused an objectively verifiable permanent injury. Rather, any disability related to the collision will suffice, which is a much simpler burden of proof. Ridesharing has become much easier and transparent with the advancement of technology. So it’s about time the Legislature has acted to protect the interests of the consumer by mandating insurance coverage and removing the obstacles of a lawsuit in the event of an injury while riding in a livery vehicle.

Continued From Page 12 According to the NJRA, eligible applicants will need to supply a current copy of their executed lease outlining terms and conditions of the agreement, and a current New Jersey tax clearance certificate or current business registration issued by the state of New Jersey. This program will provide grants to small businesses leasing commercial space in mixed-use buildings; small businesses leasing space in commercial buildings; storefront businesses that lease their space and small businesses that demonstrate a loss due to COVID-19. The applicant must provide verification from the landlord that the respective business is in good standing with monthly lease obligations prior to March 1, 2020. The landlord and small business will need to sign certifications acknowledging the amount of outstanding lease obligations, not to exceed $30,000. The tenant will not be disqualified if monthly lease payments are current/up to date.
He noted that in Ocean County there are 3,000 eateries or restaurants alone that have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Steve Steiner, chairman of the Ocean County Tourism Advisory Council, recently told the Board of Freeholders that the County might see a loss of up to 30 percent of its restaurants before next summer due to the restrictions they are currently facing as a result of the pandemic. “We need to take this action in order to help our restaurants and small businesses survive and once again flourish in the future. Their economic health is the county’s economic health,” Vicari said. Earlier this year, Ocean County had teamed up with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and provided small business grants up to $10,000 to more than 1,000 businesses in Ocean County. There are an additional 200 businesses awaiting final grant approval. To apply visit NJRA.us and follow the links for Ocean County Small Business Lease Emergency Assistance Grant Program.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE “Let’s Talk” With Dr. Jani By Michael Vandenberg “ T h e e r a of p ate r n a l i s tic medicine where I’m the doctor, you’re the patient, and you’re going to do this bec ause I say so is long gone,” Dr. Samir Jani said to me recently. “That’s just not the way I was trained.” When it comes to your health, shouldn’t you be in the driver’s seat? That’s certainly the guiding philosophy passed down by Garden State Medic al Center ’s founder, Dr. Dharam Mann, and it’s what makes Dr. Jani the perfect f it here. He wants to use his expertise and impart his knowledge to help you make an informed decision about your pain management. And there’s no question that Dr. Jani has plenty of information to share because he checks all the boxes when it comes to education. At age 17 he was already accepted into a higher education program that included a guaranteed spot in medical school. He kept a high GPA while taking his courses at an accelerated rate that allowed him to finish a year early. Then he jumped right into residencies and a fellowship focusing on pain, anesthesiology, and internal medicine, culminating in his current specialty of Interventional Pain Management. He finished his fellowship and began practicing in 2016, making his way to GSMC the following year. Dr. Jani pointed to a variety of reasons as to why he decided to make the switch to GSMC. For one thing, it fosters a seamless team environment. “The support and infrastructure of the practice is huge,” like the large network of staff on hand, to the electronic rec ord keeping. With those tasks already being taken care of, Dr. Jani is able to put his entire focus on alleviating your pain. After all, it’s crucial to maintain a sense of urgency when it comes to pain management because people are running out of options by the time they come to
him. Most of Dr. Jani’s patients are those who have seen countless doctors and had lots of tests but have never b een able to f ind a diagnosis and fix the underlying cause. “My ankle hurts,” Dr. Jani said as a general example. “I’ve seen ten podiatrists, I’ve had six ankle surgeries, and no one’s fixed it.” But even though it may never be fixed, “there are things we can do to at least help you get rid of the pain”. Thankfully, Dr. Jani is not the type of doctor who just throws pills at the problem; he has a ver y strict interpretation of the related safety regulations. Not that he doesn’t use medications at all, but it’s only a tiny part of what he can do. “We’re highly inter ventional,” said Dr. Jani. He can target the pain with various injections, or hide the pain using electricity to target different stimulators in the nervous system. By implanting pain pumps, the medication is delivered directly to your spine, creating a much stronger effect. It all depends on the severity and longevity of the pain. These steps may seem elaborate, but rest assured Dr. Jani is conservative in his relief suggestions. “I always tell patients that if I don’t have to do something, I don’t want to do it. So if I can make it go away with a two minute injection, that’s what I’m going
to do,” he said. If that doesn’t work, then Dr. Jani will happily go over additional minimally invasive options with you. He might even just recommend

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of nov 28 - dec 4 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may think you’re being decisive and defending your rights, but others might find your actions disruptive. The next few days are not an ideal time to formalize agreements or make major purchases. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep your ambitions in balance with your abilities. To be successful in any undertaking, you will need to get organized. Don’t volunteer to take on any extra responsibilities in the early part of the week ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You might think faster than usual and have numerous stories to tell, but those around you could be unreceptive today. Look forward to a family get-together or sports event in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may fear you’ll lose a chance to make some extra money or get a good deal, but it might be best to be conservative. Hold off on making major purchases or initiating new enterprises as the week begins. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Rest on your laurels for the next few days. Some important undertakings likely will require careful advance planning, so it’s not a good idea to try to force an issue. Use extra time to make your household tidy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may not be able to begin a new project until you have resolved a misunderstanding, but it could take a few days until you find the right approach. In the week ahead, keep track of your excel-
lent ideas. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Caution and diplomacy can be assets during the week ahead. Don’t be quick to take offense or take action during any misunderstanding. A partner, co-worker or the checkout clerk could be irritable and easily upset. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take time to plan. Just because you’ve come up with some excellent ideas doesn’t mean you should start a new project immediately. In the upcoming week, focus on being thoughtful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Have faith in yourself and your resilience in the upcoming week. Even the most challenging situations can be conquered if you are determined and refuse to give up or give way to doubts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Steer clear of impatience and impulsiveness. A few pressing issues from the past might stand in the way of your current plans. Wait until the second half of the week to make key decisions or changes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t act like someone with money to burn. Avoid signing contracts and making promises early in the week. Planetary conditions are temporarily unfavorable for investments or decision-making. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Knee-jerk reactions can cause damage. Wait for clarity in order to avoid making a diďŹƒcult and tense situation even worse. Wait until the last half of the week to begin a new activity or make an important decision.
